This volume accompanies the first museum survey of drawings by Rachel Whiteread, tracing her career from the late 1980s to the present.

Summary:
A major figure in contemporary art, John Baldessari is widely considered one of the most influential artists to emerge since the mid-1960s. From his early text-and-image paintings to his more recent photo collages and installations, Baldessari has continued to make art that addresses the social impact of mass culture, often playfully through strategies of appropriation and deconstruction. Baldessari’s lifelong interest in language, written and visual, and the interaction between the two, raises questions about the nature of communication and perception. More than 400 illustrations are presented in full color in this monograph published in conjunction with a major exhibition organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Tate Modern in London. Eleven essays by critics, curators, art historians, and an artist and former student of Baldessari’s round out this volume.

Published in connection with the exhibition The Achromatic Island November 14, 2009 - January 24, 2010 in the Aarhus Art Building, Denmark, For several years, Sofie Thorsen has been occupied with the city: its architectural framework and its social, cultural, historical and political implications. The theme of the exhibition and the catalogue, The Achromatic Island, is, in a broader sense, about urbanity and development and its ramifications, and about focusing on the small but significant details that help shape the spaces we live in – urban spaces, as well as the cultural and social spaces that define our experience.
