Мистецтво

Перша книга, присвячена Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria, калейдоскопу творчості, в якому формальний винахід супроводжується відкриттям історичної італійської майстерності.

Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria (Високі ювелірні вироби) представив свою першу колекцію в Таорміні у 2012 році. Через десять років після цієї пам'ятної дати модний дім вирішив вперше відзначити цей дорогоцінний всесвіт мистецтва, краси та знань у книзі.

Творіння Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria завжди були унікальними виробами. Хоча виняткова якість дорогоцінного каміння та діамантів сертифікована найвідомішими міжнародними гемологічними інститутами, ювелірна справа, яка повністю виконується вручну в майстернях бренду кваліфікованими ювелірами, переосмислює високовишукані процеси, такі як мілгрейн, філігран та кручений дріт.

Вона втілює надзвичайну спадщину традицій та ноу-хау, куючи матеріал, щоб перетворити його на витвір мистецтва. Мініатюри, емалі, корали та дивовижні дорогоцінні камені з найважливіших родовищ світу, а також чудові діаманти, деякі з яких характеризуються безпрецедентною огранкою Dolce & Gabbana, є абсолютними зірками цього тому. Під редакцією Керол Вултон, видання вперше представляє широкій публіці унікальні творіння Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria.

This book showcases a lesser-known aspect of Maurice Sendak’s oeuvre–his set designs for opera and ballets.

Maurice Sendak is well-known for his acclaimed children’s books, but he was also an avid opera lover and designed a number of sets for opera and ballet productions, among them Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Janáˇcek's The Cunning Little Vixen, Prokofiev’s The Love for Three Oranges, Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, and an opera by Oliver Knussen based on Where the Wild Things Are. This book brings together over one hundred and twentyfive pieces from among the more than nine hundred in the Morgan Library & Museum’s collection, including preliminary sketches, final watercolors, and cardboard models. Essays in the book discuss the importance of music to Sendak’s work, his fascination with comic strips, movies, mechanical toys, and pop-up books, and the artworks that inspired his stage designs. The book reveals the full breadth of Sendak’s visual work for opera and ballet and highlights his keen sense of humor, his love of art history, and his ability to tell striking stories through his art.

The first book on artist, musician, and DJ Eamon Ore-Giron who mines the complex nature of Latinx identity, the history of the Americas, and the many legacies of abstraction in art.  

Over the course of his career, Eamon Ore-Giron has examined the personal and historical ramifications of cultural hybridity. Raised in Tucson, Ore-Giron is inspired by his roots in the American Southwest, his visits to his father’s hometown of Huancayo, Peru, and his time spent as a practicing artist in California and Mexico. This catalogue brings together for the first time three pivotal chapters in Ore-Giron’s career: his Southwest and Peruvian-inspired figurative works from the 2000s; his paintings from the 2010s that engaged elements of both figuration and abstraction, including an ongoing series focused on Mesoamerican deities; and the sublime gold-based paintings from his recent “Infinite Regress” series.

Curator Miranda Lash, along with celebrated scholars C. Ondine Chavoya and Jace Clayton, explore Ore-Giron’s approach to de-colonizing the medium of painting, his impact within in the Los Angeles art scene, and his seminal work as a DJ who highlights the intersections between North and South American sound.

Від глини до печі та всіх технік між ними, ця книга є дослідженням технік і процесів понад сорока п’яти працюючих керамістів.

Земля і вогонь представляють два елементи, які створюють керамічний предмет. Без іншого вони просто компоненти; разом вони створюють як практичні предмети, так і твори мистецтва. Працюючи як початковий матеріал і джерело натхнення, Earth & Fire досліджує техніки, практики та інструменти понад сорока п’яти працюючих керамістів.

Створення всього, починаючи від дров’яних виробів і вишуканих порцелянових виробів; скульптурні вази; повсякденні чашки, миски, тарілки; до ювелірних виробів і настінних виробів, ці художники працюють у широкому діапазоні стилів і середовищ для створення своєї кераміки. Хоча методи різняться, загальна думка полягає в тому, що земля та вогонь, які художники використовують для створення своїх об’єктів, є найкращими майстрами. Коли вони думають, що знають одне, глина, глазур і тепло навчать їх іншого. Завжди буде чому навчитися. Працювати з глиною – це просто смирно.

Написаний і зібраний Кайлі Джонсон і Тіффані Джонсон, Earth & Fire відображає різноманітну красу та корисність кераміки, демонструючи, що глина потрапляє не просто під нігті: вона потрапляє під шкіру.

Про авторів:

Кайлі Джонсон — художниця кераміки, власниця галереї та письменниця з Брісбена. За останні десять років вона курувала понад п’ятнадцять виставок як австралійських, так і японських художників у своїй студії. Кайлі опублікувала дві поетичні книги та збірку цитат зі своїх керамічних робіт. Тіффані Джонсон присвятила своє професійне життя книжковій та видавничій діяльності понад двадцять років. У той же період вона була поруч зі своєю сестрою Кайлі Джонсон, працюючи над виставками та проектами прес-кераміки паперових корабликів.

The artist's deceptively beautiful work--colorful tapestries and garden-inspired installations created out of faux flowers, glitter, sequins, fabric, toys, beads, jewelry, and other embellishments --comes to life at The New York Botanical Garden, where she employs the beauty and symbolism of living plants to unearth the complex entanglements of race, gender and colonialism.

Accompanying a major site-specific exhibition of sculptural and horticultural installations by artist Ebony G. Patterson at The New York Botanical Garden, this volume provides deeper insights into Patterson’s multilayered practice. The artist’s work has long examined and experimented with the concept of the garden through a practice that uses beauty as an invitation to confront larger societal questions and concerns.

The first international monograph dedicated to Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga, one of the most enterprising and exciting young artists working in Africa today.

Eddy Kamuanga’s large-scale figurative paintings display a wealth of historical understanding in a sophisticated interplay of strikingly colored forms juxtaposed on gray negative space.

Kamuanga’s work taps into the rich yet complex colonial history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC. His politically nuanced and culturally sensitive work explores the seismic shifts in economic, political, and cultural identity in the DRC since colonization. Increasingly globalized in outlook, many in the DRC today are rejecting their ancestral heritage in favor of modernity, a conflict that fuels Kamuanga’s work.

The DRC is the world’s largest exporter of coltan, a mineral critical to the production of computer chips and mobile phones. In all of Kamuanga’s works, the skin of each figure is embedded with integrated circuits, referring to the harsh conditions experienced by workers who mine coltan by hand.

Eddy Kamuanga has been recognized internationally as one of the most interesting young contemporary African talents of today, and his reputation is growing fast worldwide.

His work has been shown across Africa, notably at Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), South Africa, and has been included in exhibitions in Europe and the United States, at institutions such as Fowler Museum at UCLA, Los Angeles; Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire; Saatchi Gallery, London; and Royal Academy of Arts, London. He is represented by October Gallery, London.
