Summary:
This volume documents a focused group of paintings from 2014–15 by British artist Bridget Riley (born 1931). After decades of exploring the subtle effects of color, Riley returns to stark, black-and-white, geometrically derived forms--variations on the trademark style she developed in the early 1960s.

Summary:
In her first artist's book, Cambridge, MA-based artist Katarina Burin (born 1975) creates a fictitious Czechoslovakian architect named Andrejova-Molnar, described as a pioneering architect of modern postwar Europe, as part of her investigation of architectural history. The book presents a biographical narrative about the education and design work of Andrejova-Molnar, and positions her work in relation to mid-20th-century female architects Charlotte Perriand and Eileen Grey. Burin’s Andrejova-Molnar project, which won the prestigious James and Audrey Foster Prize at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston in 2013, gives voice to female designers while questioning notions of authorship and authenticity, the relationship between gender and the archive, and the historical tension between national identity and internationalist aspirations.

Summary:
Turner Prize-nominated British artist Cornelia Parker (born 1956) is well known for her large-scale, site-specific installations. Her work has been featured in many solo exhibitions and is included in collections around the world.

Summary:
The work of Didier Faustino focuses on the relationship between body and space. Since 1995, he has operated at the boundary between art and architecture, creating large installations and projects that incorporate the subversion of spaces and the exacerbation of our senses. These are often characterised by their fictional dimension, critical stance, and ability to offer new experiences to the individual and collective body. In ‘Vortex Populi’ he explores how the architectural form can exist within transversality. The project’s central theme is the violent clashes between protestors and authoritarian forces, and the structures and spatial oppositions that emerge.

Summary:
Batia Suter's work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising reactions and significative possibilities. This volume follows on from the first Parallel Encyclopedia, published in 2007. Underlying themes of Suter's practice are the "iconification" and "immunogenicity" of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with new associative values. "In my work, I collect groups of images based on various themes and characteristics, and I investigate how they can manipulate each other, depending on where and how they are placed. In the process of making this book, narrative lines unfolded before my eyes as I shifted images around."

Summary:
Entrée sur la scène de l’art armée d’un fusil destiné à « faire saigner la peinture », Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) a créé une œuvre protéiforme traversée de façon continue par ce qu’elle a vu et vécu. Cette biographie de référence – la première en langue française qui lui est consacrée – éclaire le dialogue que la femme et la créatrice ont constamment entretenu. Elle révèle le parcours hors du commun de cette artiste autodidacte, élevée en Amérique dans une famille de la vieille aristocratie française, et met en évidence la cohérence de son engagement artistique, depuis ses débuts peu connus de peintre, jusqu’aux animaux de l’Arche de Noé, en passant par les Tableaux-tirs, les Autels, les Mariées, les Nanas, les diverses sculptures monumentales, créées ou non avec son compagnon Jean Tinguely, sans oublier les films et les innombrables dessins, pétris de poésie et d’humour, qu’elle a réalisés. Croisant, pour la première fois et de manière systématique, quantités de sources (témoignages, correspondance, journaux, travaux préparatoires, archives sonores et audiovisuelles, notes, manuscrits) recueillies dans plusieurs pays (Amérique, France, Allemagne, Suisse, Belgique, Italie), cet ouvrage a bénéficié de la confiance de la Fondation Niki de Saint Phalle installée en Californie. Il campe une personnalité exceptionnelle par la forme remarquablement joueuse qu’elle a donnée à son féminisme, par l’énergie qu’elle a déployée, notamment pour construire son Jardin des tarots en Toscane, et l’opulence de son œuvre, conçue en menant vies privée et professionnelle de concert. A travers le portrait de celle qui fut la seule femme du groupe des Nouveaux réalistes (Klein, César, Arman, Villeglé, etc.), cette biographie dessine celui d’une époque dont les révoltes et les audaces fascinent toujours la jeune génération.
