Книги про сучасне мистецтво

The provocative art of Jeff Koons (*1955) leaves no one cold. The “king of kitsch” is skilled at manipulating the media, exploding the boundaries of all genres with his appropriations from Pop Art and popular culture, and playing the keyboard of the art market like no other. Collectors scramble for his large collages and colossal stainless-steel balloon animals. Yet, in his eye-poppingly colorful, immaculately perfect works Koons also exposes the seductive potential of the glittering world of commodities; his ready-mades and gigantic toys are amusing and thought provoking at the same time. The American artist’s once controversial work has now been recognized for its prescience. This publication presents his oeuvre in two volumes: paintings from all of the artist’s creative phases form the core of the first volume. Koons’ sculptures are the focal point of the second volume, in which objects from the Liebieghaus collection, stemming from five thousand years of cultural history, are placed in a dialogue with his works.

Joe Sorren’s oil paintings redefine naturalist scenery such as caves, reefs, and seashores, inserting a surreal mood through soft, eerie imagery, thick Impressionist-inspired brushstrokes, and animalistic figures caught mid-motion.

Although the subjects are often childlike, the postures and weariness betray adult maturity, drawing a fine line between the vulnerable and precocious. Bulls and minotaurs parade guiltily with parasols and umbrellas through both Sorren’s original paintings and the sculptures created in collaboration with Jud Bergeron.

This monograph of work from 2004-2010 is published in conjunction with the exhibition Joe Sorren—Interruption, for the Grand Central Art Center at CSU Fullerton.

The first monograph to celebrate the diverse and eclectic work of one of the true visionaries of the contemporary art world. Joseph Ari Aloi-aka JK5-is a compulsive artist for whom every free moment is an opportunity to create. Bringing together his work as a fine artist with the instincts and references that color his passions of tattoo and graffiti art, JK5 has an expansive, textured, and highly individual visual vernacular. Whether as a painter, illustrator, calligrapher, or designer, JK5 is preoccupied with the collision of personal and revelatory themes with profound pop-cultural iconography, resulting in a powerful and readily identifiable style.

This creatively designed monograph features work that extends from paintings on canvas to plastic vinyl toys, from storyboards for animation films to collages and scratch cards, and from outlines for tattoo work to a vast collection of sketchbooks-each completed with such regularity that they serve as a kind of artist diary, recording his changing preoccupations and varying visual interests. Edited by the artist-with contributions from fellow artists Mike Giant and Kenzo Minami-and designed to reflect the varying and tactile nature of the work, this is an artist's book that will exist as a unique and collectible object in its own right as much as a record of the remarkable output of one of the most prolific voices in contemporary art.

About the Author:

JK5, aka Joseph Ari Aloi, is an artist, designer, writer, and tattoo artist. Aloi opened a tattoo studio, expanding his signature styles and approaches to lettering and graphics into work in many mediums. He has collaborated with such companies as Nike, Kidrobot, and Wieden + Kennedy, and his work has been exhibited through Deitch Projects, Alife NYC, and other galleries worldwide.

Основний огляд KAWS та його карколомних робіт, від колекційних художніх іграшок до футболок UNIQLO, від графіті до музейних виставок

Використовуючи персонажів, образи та ефекти з поп-культури, робота KAWS стирає межі між високим і низьким мистецтвом, а також між мистецтвом і модою.

Ефективно використовуючи улюблені фільми та телебачення для своїх іграшок, великомасштабної скульптури та сміливого, майже абстрактного живопису, KAWS перебудовує звичні кольори та форми популярних розваг у зухвалих і часто гостро людських термінах. Під впливом Енді Воргола та інших поп-художників, різкого абстрактного живопису та графіті роботи KAWS спритно поєднують споживчу культуру та художні інновації, а його особливий стиль відчувається як у його іграшках, так і в його монументальній скульптурі. KAWS: Where the End Starts детально досліджує плідну кар’єру художника, показуючи ключові картини, скульптури, малюнки, іграшки, а також модний і рекламний дизайн.

Ця обширна монографія, включаючи внески Андреа Карнеса, Майкла Аупінга, Дітера Бухарта та Фаррелла Вільямса, розкриває важливі аспекти формального та концептуального розвитку KAWS за останні 20 років, коли його кар’єра змінилася від графіті до образотворчого мистецтва та співпраці з дизайнерами та брендами, такими як Comme des Garçons, SUPREME, Nigo (A Bathing Ape) і Nike.

Опубліковано у твердій обкладинці з більш ніж 150 кольоровими репродукціями Музеєм сучасного мистецтва, Форт-Ворт у поєднанні з великою осінньою виставкою 2016 року на KAWS.

Про авторів:

KAWS (народився в 1974 році) з Брукліна вважається одним із найактуальніших художників свого покоління. У традиції поп-арту він створив плідну кількість впливових робіт, які залучають молодих людей до сучасного мистецтва та охоплюють світ мистецтва та дизайну, включаючи як продукт, так і графічний дизайн, картини, фрески та скульптуру.

Exuberant, profane, witty, and provocative, the images in this book reveal the political dimension of Keith Haring’s artistic concerns

Through his graffiti-inspired drawings, paintings, sculptures, murals, and other works, Keith Haring created an immediately recognizable visual iconography that spoke to an enormous population — gay and straight, young and old, male and female. His importance in the annals of popular culture is indisputable, but little attention has been paid to his advocacy for social justice.

Haring’s political perspective is the focus of this visually arresting selection of works that traces the artist’s development and historical significance and gives new gravitas to his career. Accompanying a major exhibition at the de Young museum in San Francisco, this book features more than 130 works of art, including large-scale paintings on tarpaulin and canvas, sculptures, and subway drawings. Together they create a narrative that explores Haring’s responses to nuclear disarmament, racial inequality, capitalist excess, environmental degradation, and other prevalent social issues.

Essays and conversations with writers, critics, and art dealers round out this important analysis of Haring’s life, career, and passion.

About the Author:

Dieter Buchhart is an art critic for Kunstforum International and the author of Keith Haring: The Political Line (DelMonico Books·Prestel).

Кенні Шарф, один із найцікавіших художників сучасності, здобув популярність на нью-йоркській арт-сцені у 80-х роках як частина динамічної та впливової групи художників, до якої входили Енді Ворхол, Кіт Харінг та Жан-Мішель Баскія. Відтоді він повернувся до Каліфорнії, але зберіг грайливу поп-естетику, завдяки якій він отримав міжнародне визнання.

Цей абсолютно новий том охоплює блискучу кар'єру Шарфа, його досвід і діяльність на арт-сцені центру міста. Його роботи миттєво впізнаються, а своєрідні мультяшні істоти з'являються в найдивніших місцях: на картинах, на функціональних предметах або ж нагромаджуються один на одного, утворюючи величезні тотемні стовпи.

Річард Маршалл допомагає читачеві пройтися крізь десятиліття кар'єри Шарфа. Есе Карло Маккорміка зосереджується на химерних кастомізованих автомобілях та інсталяціях Шарфа. Енн Магнусон згадує події Шарфа в Іст-Віллідж та на клубній сцені.

The Joan Miro Foundation presents "Her Memory", an exhibition by Kiki Smith organised in collaboration with the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld and the Kunsthalle Nurnberg, containing recent work by this US artist. It could in fact be called an exhibition in progress, since it has been amplified in each venue anterior to the exhibition presented in the Foundation, which is the last location of this tour. Kiki Smith was born in Nurnberg in 1954 to an artistic family: her mother an opera singer and her father Minimalist artist Tony Smith. Her work is characterised by a constant reflection on human existence and on life and death; and her drawings of the human body, which are both traumatic and poetic. She reached international recognition at the end of the 1980s. In 2006-2007, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Whitney Museum in New York organised a touring retrospective exhibition, "Kiki Smith: A Gathering, 1980-2005", which signalled the end of a period.

This book includes 79 excellent landscape installation artworks.Through showcasing high resolution images with detailed text descriptions,this book presents the world’s latest and most creative landscape installation artworks.There are plenty of sketches and other detailed drawings to help the readers better understand the ideas of the artists and the construction process.At the end of the book,there are 25 more projects that are showcased through QR code.
