Книги про сучасне мистецтво

Adored by celebrity patrons and admired by his peers in the industry, Scott Campbell is known not only for his amazing technique and vision as a tattoo artist, but also as a respected fine artist on the contemporary scene. Both Campbell’s artwork and tattoo work are informed by timeless trends of “new antiquarian” style, nineteenth-century hand-lettering, kitsch, and classic tattoo “flash.”

Campbell is considered the tattoo artist of both the trendsetter and the daring celebrity. However, though Campbell has tattooed celebrities from the late Heath Ledger to visionaries like Marc Jacobs, it is through his distinctive aesthetic that he has become a celebrity in his own right.

Campbell renders fleeting trends into timeless masterpieces not only on canvas and in sculpture, but also on skin. This book captures both, exemplifying how his tattoo work informs his artwork and vice versa.

This exhibition, organized by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, presented in the Crystal Palace of the Retiro Park proposes a reflection on the interrelationship and analogies that exist between sculpture and architecture. The show, for which the Department of Collections made a selection from the Museum's art funds, picks up four sculpture projects by Per Barclay, Cristina Iglesias, Mario Merz and Susana Solano whose nexus is their relation with the idea of habitat. With this exhibition the Museum takes a pledge, which is undertaken with the show La visión impura (The Impure Vision), to stand out the artworks belonged to the institution's funds, some of which never exhibited before.

A fabulous archive of wearable art, this collection features more than 40 cool and witty images that will add a fashionable flair to clothes and other fabric items. Suitable for embellishing jackets, corsets, handbags, pillows, and other cloth surfaces, the easy-to-apply transfers feature stylized robots, blimps, clock faces, and a host of other mash-up motifs.

Originally coined to describe fantasy and science fiction in steam-powered settings, the term "steampunk" has come to identify an aesthetic movement. Its campy redefinition of Victorian style blends elements of technology and romance, and its influence extends from literature and art to music and fashion.

This book and CD-ROM compilation offers artists and crafters a wealth of authentic Victorian graphics for creating steampunk imagery. More than 500 illustrations range from dirigibles and sea vessels to corsets and pocket watches. In keeping with the movement's inventive spirit, a gallery of original collages features inspiring examples of the illustrations' potential combinations.

This book includes a CD-ROM containing 539 royalty-free images saved in JPEG format.

Завдяки понад 3000 зображенням стікерів книга ілюструє хронологію цього хобі, від контркультури до політики. Її розділи включають: музику: панк-рок до електронної музики, скейтбординг, вуличний одяг, графіті, образотворче мистецтво, політичний активізм, проте другий том йде ще далі, ніж його попередник, з розділами про витоки серф-культури та світ велосипедів BMX.

Книга, організована за категоріями та темами, містить роботи таких різноманітних художників, як Том Сакс, Дженні Хольцер, БЕНКСІ, Neckface, Мерілін Мінтер, ESPO та Баррі МакГі; до аматорів, які анонімно «тегують» вулиці.

Книга чудово оформлена Феліс Колфлер.

Про авторів:

Автор Д. Б. Беркеман закохався в наліпки ще в ранньому віці через скейтбординг та панк-рок, але він зробив собі ім’я, граючи як діджей між двома своїми будинками в Лондоні та Нью-Йорку. Він влаштував одні з перших рейв-вечірок у складських приміщеннях Великої Британії в Нью-Йорку, а на початку 90-х він заснував сумнозвісну клубну ніч NASA. Хоча його кар’єра була пов’язана з музикою, діджеїнгом та A&R, його пристрастю завжди було мистецтво.

What is behind the tidal wave of street art that is sweeping through the cultural scene today? What are its artistic features, its codes, and its language?

How has its production, which was originally exclusively centered in the urban space, invaded galleries, bringing with it real popularity for some artists?

These are some of the questions that this unique anthology attempts to answer. It retraces the history of the genre from its beginnings in the mid-1970s to the current issues that surround it today. This historical journey is dotted with portraits of the big international names from the field.

Written by an expert of this artistic movement, it dives deep into one of the major currents of contemporary art.

200 illustrations

Graffiti and street art have been at the heart of many groundbreaking visual subcultures in the past few decades. However, a new wave of artists is moving in fresh directions. Frustrated by wholesale corporate theft of street creativity, these artists are employing different techniques in their work, different materials, different means of dissemination and different ways of getting their work noticed. Often using new materials - fly-tipped rubbish, street signs, children's toys, chalk, vinyl, perspex - they are subverting the three-dimensional streetscape to shock, educate and entertain. What makes their work so interesting is the dynamic way in which it blurs the division between fine art and street art to form something revolutionary. They are changing the way people experience city life. This book documents the new art, with photographs of the work and interviews with major players from around the world.

‘Я отримала електронного листа, в якому мені повідомляли, що все скінчено. Я не знала, як відповісти. Це було так, ніби це було не для мене. Воно закінчувалося словами: «Бережи себе». Я сприйняла цю рекомендацію буквально. Я попросила сто дві жінки, обрані за їхню професію, інтерпретувати листа з точки зору їхньої професійної майстерності. Проаналізувати його, прокоментувати, зіграти, станцювати, заспівати. Розібрати. Висушити. Зрозуміти за мене. Відповісти за мене. Це був спосіб приділити час розриву стосунків. У своєму власному темпі. Спосіб подбати про себе..’

Today, the most clever brand communication is self-promulgating.

Anyone currently working in brand communication is facing fundamental yet compelling challenges. In an age in which we are flooded with information, consumers are becoming more critical and discerning. They are deploying ever finer filters so that only the most relevant pieces of information ever reach them. Because of this development, traditional brand and advertising messages are far less likely to be seen.

Taken by Surprise is a collection of communication measures that are sophisticated and relevant enough to overcome these hurdles. They include limited special edition products and signature collaborations between brands, artists, and designers such as those between Julian Schnabel and Maybach, Issey Miyake and Dyson, Sagmeister and Levi’s, Olafur Eliasson and BMW, Jonathan Meese and Staehlemuehle, Terry Richardson and Colette as well as other innovative work by the likes of Damien Hirst, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, David Lynch, Geoff McFetridge, and Pharrell Williams.

An accessible A-Z guide to the art of the 20th-century

The 20th Century Art Book was hailed upon its release as an exciting celebration of the myriad forms assumed by art over the last century.

Complementing the phenomenally successful Art Book, and most recently The American Art Book, it presents a new and original way of bringing art alive. Covering the truly international nature of the modern art scene, it encompasses established, iconic works of art and the classics of the future. 500 artists are showcased in alphabetical order, each represented by a full-page colour plate of a definitive work and an incisive text which sheds light on both image and creator.

This book is above all easy to use: cross-references help the reader make connections between artists; there is a jargon-free glossary of artistic terms and movements; and an international directory of museums and galleries lists the works on public view.
Ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time, it is a fun and unintimidating look at the ever-expanding boundaries of art.

This book presents work by a group of the world’s most esteemed young contemporary artists and designers in a medium they’ve previously not explored–retro 3D.

Since he was a kid, artist, designer, and vinyl toy impresario Tristan Eaton has been obsessed with the nostalgic look of 3D imagery. In The 3D Art Book, he parlays this fascination into a carefully curated selection of over 100 works by established and up-and-coming contemporary artists, expertly rendered as 3D images which can be viewed with red and blue glasses (included in the book). Many of the pieces, by artists respected within the designer toy, street art, Pop Surrealist, graffiti, graphic design, and streetwear communities, were created specifically for this project.

The included works range from otherworldly paintings by Eric White, Ron English, and James Jean, to graffiti pieces by Dr. Revolt, Claw Money, and HAZE, intricate designs by Tokidoki, 10Deep, and Mishka NYC, cartoonish characters by Jon Burgerman, Miss Van, and Gary Baseman, as well as pieces by heavyweights D*Face, Todd Schorr, and Shepard Fairey. Each image comes jumping to life when viewed with 3D glasses. Eaton’s introduction documents his personal history as an appreciator and creator of 3D art, while an essay by cultural critic Carlo McCormick focuses on stereoscopic 3D’s rise to pop prominence in 1950s America.

Discover the compelling story of the evolution of contemporary art, its state today, and where it’s headed, through a sample of ten artworks created by ten artists over a span of fifteen years

Written in an engaging, straightforward style by prominent art historian Matthew Israel, this book presents ten outstanding examples of contemporary art, each with significant historical or cultural relevance to contemporary art’s big picture. Drawn from the fields of photography, painting, performance, installation, video, film, and public art, the works featured here combine to create a bigger picture of the state of contemporary art today.

From Andreas Gursky's large-scale colour photograph “Rhine II” to Kara Walker's acclaimed installation in the Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn, each work is carefully explored within the larger perspective of its social and artistic milieu.

Articulate and insightful, this book offers readers the ability to consider each work in-depth, while also providing an easily digestible foundation from which to study the often challenging but continually fascinating world of 21st-century art.

From the girl next door to sexy switch-blade sisters, the pin-up girls depicted in this collection of works by 15 of today's best artists boldly display the full spectrum of the genre.

Through masterful use of color and media, both traditional and digital, these artists from around the world capture the female form in ways that remain true to their forefathers (Gil Elvgren, Alberto Vargas, etc.) but also to their own contemporary styles. To dig deeper into the process, each artist's section includes a statement that unveils his or her inspiration and techniques.

Themes in the 280+ works included here are vast and cover everything from action, horror, and 70s cinema to mythology, comic books, science fiction, and fantasy. So, whether you're into zombies, angels, latex, burlesque, or pop-culture, there is fresh, modern pin-up art for everyone.
