The most recent body of work by the popular American artist to focus on his highly inventive interpretation of space travel, published for the first time.

Published to accompany exhibitions simultaneously in New York and Palm Beach, the book follows the interdisciplinary show that centers around the theme of spaceships by the artist Tom Sachs (b. 1966), both with representations of spaceships and rockets in sculptural and painted forms, and more indirect references that relate either formally or conceptually to the idea of the spaceship in our society. A sculpture of a Hoover vacuum suggests the vacuum of space; a bricolage rendition of Sachs’ favorite record player recalls the form of a spaceship; and a work relating to the Titanic suggests the idea of transporting between realms. Other works more directly represent spaceships and relate to Sachs’ space program, which has been of central importance to his work over the past decade and a half.

The book follows Sachs’ immersive, participatory installations on the theme of space, most recently at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. Last August, Sachs launched his Rocket Factory, a genre-defying project that brought NFTs into the physical realm by launching fully assembled replicas of NFT rockets (one of which took place at LACMA in 2021) and then making paintings after component and assembled rockets.

The definitive monograph on the work of one of the most prolific, versatile, and exciting artists of the last three decades

Over the past 30 years, Swiss-born, New York-based artist Ugo Rondinone has developed a distinct body of work: vibrant paintings, immersive installations, sculptures, and text-based works, all united by a poetic quality and an enduring preoccupation with such universal themes as time and cosmic cycles.

Profoundly interested in the contemplation of everyday life, Rondinone reconciles the visual language of psychedelia and advertising with meditative, intimate reflections on personal and collective experiences. This book brings fresh perspective to his remarkable life and career and is a must-have for his huge global following.

Vasily Kandinsky became the pioneer of abstract art; he was a co-founder of the Blauer Reiter, an art theorist and an influential teacher at the Bauhaus. When he abandoned his promising career as a lawyer in favour of art at the age of 30, no one could have guessed that a few years later he would play a decisive role in determining and revolutionising twentieth-century art.

What the art critic Will Grohmann wrote in 1924 about Kandinsky in the historic series Junge Kunst, reflects current opinion at the time about the path Kandinsky had chosen towards abstraction, which was regarded as both irritating and bold. However, it was not just his radical views about art that polarised people; the charismatic painter also provoked them with his personality, prompting admiration and repudiation in equal measure. This volume is designed to appeal to book-lovers and is lavishly illustrated. It illuminates the principal milestones in Kandinsky’s artistic and private life, providing an insight into his legacy and focusing in particular on his years at the Bauhaus, where he taught together with artist colleagues like Paul Klee and Lyonel Feininger.

Today we marvel at the shimmering light, the detail and hidden significances within the subtle techniques of Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Eyck, Frans Hals and their compatriots. 

The luminescent art of the Dutch Masters grew from the bounding confidence of the newly independent Netherlands in the early 1600s. Shed of religious conflict it encouraged a wealthy mercantile class that sought the oceans of the world in search of riches and influence, and a new sensibility in art that cast light across the actions and objects of daily life. 

The Dutch Masters are characterized by the abandonment of religious patronage, allowing, for the first time, a relentless focus on everyday subjects: the taverns, breakfast tables and living rooms of the newly wealthy and the places they loved to visit. 

This wonderful new book, also highlighting the work of the pioneering Rachel Ruysch, is the latest addition to Flame Tree’s highly successful Masterworks series.

Vincent van Gogh's career lasted just a decade, but in this short time, he created more than two thousand paintings, including some of the most famous and influential works of Western art. He was also prolific writer, penning hundreds of letters to his brother, Theo, that form an unusually rich record of his life and work, from his early development as an artist to his struggles with mental illness that sadly cut short a promising career. This book draws on Van Gogh's letters to provide a powerful and poignant account of his life and work.

Lively, accessible, and lavishly illustrated, this new book offers a concise introduction to this great master of art.

Praised as much by Hollywood as by his fan base, Jason Edmiston is THE greatest painter of Geek culture of our time.

This book brings together all of Edmiston’s most famous works, including his posters for MONDO and many new drawings, as well as several pages of technical advice.

This landmark monograph is the first comprehensive survey of Walter De Maria’s exceptionally diverse and visionary art practice, providing an in-depth look at more than 200 works and presenting the first detailed chronology ever published.

Although best known as a creator of seminal works of Land art, Walter De Maria also maintained an extensive and highly original practice as a sculptor, painter, draftsman, writer, filmmaker, and composer. This expansive publication presents more than 200 works created or envisioned by the artist from 1960 until his death in 2013. Each work is fully illustrated and accompanied by detailed text entries written by Elizabeth and Michael Childress, supplemented by archival images, many of which have never been published before.

Essays by Michael Govan, Christine Mehring, and Lars Nittve provide detailed overviews and analyses of the early, middle, and later periods of De Maria’s production. The monograph also includes an introduction by Donna De Salvo; the first detailed, thoroughly documented, and illustrated chronology of De Maria’s life and work, written by Dagny Corcoran; and an exhibition history and bibliography.

The first complete monograph of artist Walter Tandy Murch explores the life of an unsung yet remarkable artist whose paintings and illustrations of everyday objects and mechanical devices are familiar yet mysterious, or as George Lucas puts it, “in a magical middle.”

Walter Tandy Murch (1907–1967) is best known for his enigmatic, dreamlike still-life paintings of everyday objects and mechanical devices in a style that falls between Magic Realist, Surrealist, and Realist. This volume offers the most comprehensive collection of his work, including his striking commercial work for magazines and his paintings from the extensive collection of George Lucas.

Lucas calls himself a “fanboy” of Murch’s art — paintings and drawings he describes as simultaneously “functional and dreamy, simple and complicated; they are quiet yet grab your attention.” The tension of these opposing reactions draws viewers into Murch’s still lifes, which caught the attention of famed art dealer Betty Parsons, who also represented artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Ellsworth Kelly, and Agnes Martin. Murch showed his work at Parsons’s gallery for nearly thirty years.

With illuminating essays and extensive plates sections displaying Murch’s works, this celebration of an exceptionally talented and visionary artist is long overdue.

In remembrance of revered American artist Wayne Thiebaud who passed away in 2021 at the age of 101, the definitive monograph of Wayne Thiebaud’s work is now available in a reformatted, accessibly priced edition, including his last paintings.

This is the most comprehensive monograph to date on Wayne Thiebaud, with new works added, in a reformatted size. Spanning the length of his career from the 1950s to the present, the book has been made in close collaboration with the artist. Thiebaud selected the works himself, making the book an act of autobiography in a sense. At age 100, he looks back over his life and his work, rich with breakthroughs in painting and masterful individuality.

“Required reading for those who have a healthy appetite for provocative art.” — Bloomberg Business

“This comprehensive monograph of more than 200 illustrations can literally be considered eye candy. American artist Wayne Thiebaud is famed for his brightly colored canvases of cakes, diner pies, pastries, ice cream cones, candy and brightly colored gumball machines. . . . Whether still lifes or landscapes, Thiebaud’s paintings are akin to visual Prozac; you simply cannot be in a bad mood looking at them.” — Kansas City Magazine

“While Thiebaud is best known for his heavily pigmented still lifes of cakes, pies, and candies, [this] book shows his broader range, from vibrant landscapes depicting highways and farmland to portraits of solitary figures. . . The texts examine Thiebaud’s influences as well as his impact on the art world and the individual viewers of his work.” — Architectural Digest

About the Author:

Kenneth Baker has been the resident art critic at the San Francisco Chronicle since 1983. Nicholas Fox Weber is a cultural historian and executive director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. Karen Wilkin is an independent curator and art critic based in New York. John Yau is an American poet and critic who lives in New York.

The South African artist William Kentridge Hon RA was born in Johannesburg in 1955 and lives and works there to this day. He is internationally renowned for the expressionism of his work in numerous media, among them charcoal, printmaking, sculpture and film, as well as his acclaimed theatrical and operatic productions. As elusive as it is allusive, Kentridge’s art is shaped by apartheid and grounded in the politics of the post-apartheid era, and in science, literature and history, while always maintaining space for contradiction and uncertainty.

In a brilliant exposition of Kentridge’s output, Stephen Clingman, Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, undertakes a series of enquiries, of walks around the artist and his practice, through the various layers and linkages, crossings and connections of his art. As he proceeds, he considers Kentridge’s themes, explores them and proceeds by association to others. Along the way, overlaps, thought collages, allusions and assemblages come together to create a connective, dimensional way of thinking inspired by Kentridge’s own habits of creation.

Explore William Kentridge’s remarkable performance piece, The Head & The Load, and discover how music, dance, writing, and fine art are combined to tell the haunting story of Africans during WWI

For over thirty years, William Kentridge has been combining fine arts, performance, theatre, and opera to create dreamlike, political, and humanist works. His installation, films, and drawings often deal with the political situation in South Africa, apartheid, and the consequences of colonialism. This book gives an in-depth examination of his performance piece The Head & The Load, which explores the role of Africa during World War I. Throughout the war, more than one million Africans carried provisions and military equipment in hazardous conditions for British, French, and German troops at minimal or no pay.

William Kentridge tells the story of these African porters who ensured the success of the victors, but remain in the shadows. This history, rarely studied today, unfolds in a staged tableau combining music, dance, acting, screenings, and mechanized sculptures. The book includes photos and text from the performance, essays, and artworks created specifically by Kentridge to complement the play. Accompanied by an international cast of singers, actors, and dancers, and with music composed by Philip Miller, The Head & The Load is a powerful and multifaceted work that reconsiders colonial history and its repercussions in today’s world.

About the Author:

William Kentridge is a South African artist internationally renowned for his prints, drawings, and animated films. His artworks are in many collections, including Tate Modern in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His spectacle-performances, including 'The Head & the Load', have been shown at the Festival d Avignon (2012), the thirteenth documenta in Kassel, and MassMOCA, among other prestigious festivals and venues.

An updated edition of the acclaimed monograph, celebrating one of the most iconic and revolutionary artists of our time

"Yayoi Kusama transcended the art world to become a fixture of popular culture, in a league with Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Keith Haring." —The New York Times

Kusama is internationally renowned for her groundbreaking work on themes such as infinity, self-image, sexuality, and compulsive repetition. A well-known name in the Manhattan scene of the 1960s, Kusama's subsequent work combined Psychedelia and Pop culture with patterning, often resulting in participatory installations and series of paintings. This revised and expanded edition of the 2000 monograph, which is arguably still one of the most comprehensive studies on her work to date, has been augmented by an essay by Catherine Taft and a collection of new poems by the artist.

Відчуйте довічну одержимість блискучої художниці природою та зануренням у сади, що є основою її надзвичайно впливової творчості.

Творчість Яйої Кусами є продуктом безмежної допитливості та нав'язливого прагнення творити. Протягом довгої та різноманітної кар'єри художниці є одна стійка, але маловивчена наскрізна лінія — її глибока залученість до природи. Від ранніх ескізів, що зображують квіти в розпліднику її родини в Японії, до її найновіших монументальних скульптур ботанічних форм, готових злетіти, Кусама постійно звертає нашу увагу на закономірності, зв'язки та цикли живих організмів, які не завжди видно.

Yayoi Kusama: Cosmic Nature — це супровідний каталог до першого комплексного дослідження невпинного захоплення художниці світом природи, виставленого на 250-акровому ландшафті Нью-Йоркського ботанічного саду. Виставка досліджує її довічну усвідомленість та налаштованість на природу, яка служить не просто джерелом натхнення, але й невід'ємним джерелом сили для її художньої мови. Ця глибока життєва сила пронизує всю творчість Кусами, від досліджень молекулярного до роздумів про універсальне, що призводить до трансцендентної, космічної природи.

Запрошений куратор виставки Міка Йошітаке, незалежна науковиця, що спеціалізується на повоєнному японському мистецтві, та Джоанна Л. Гроарке, кураторка виставок NYBG, співредакторки каталогу, об'єднують есе істориків мистецтва, кураторів та науковця, кожен з яких представляє унікальні інтерпретації взаємодії Кусами зі світом природи. Виставка Yayoi Kusama: Cosmic Nature, що містить понад 120 малюнків, картин, скульптур та архівних фотографій, включаючи приголомшливі краєвиди робіт, представлених у садах та галереях NYBG, пропонує новий погляд на одного з найвідоміших сучасних художників світу.
