In 1958, illustrator Saul Steinberg, a well-known gallery and mural artist as well as a celebrated contributor to The New Yorker, was tasked to design a mural for the US Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair. The resulting vibrant, boisterous, and gently satirical collage, named simply The Americans, depicted the diversity of modern life through Steinberg’s eyes—from the small town to the big city, from the drugstore counter to the baseball diamond, from cocktail party sophisticates to middle American farmers.

Summary:
Combining new biographical material with archival research, Megan R. Luke surveys Schwitters’s experiments in shaping space and the development of his Merzbau, describing his haphazard studios in Scandinavia and the United Kingdom and the smaller, quieter pieces he created there. She makes a case for the enormous relevance of Schwitters’s aesthetic concerns to contemporary artists, arguing that his later work provides a guide to new narratives about modernism in the visual arts. These pieces, she shows, were born of artistic exchange and shaped by his rootless life after exile, and they offer a new way of thinking about the history of art that privileges itinerancy over identity and the critical power of humorous inversion over unambiguous communication.

Summary:
Alexander Calder is one of the most important and most popular American artists of the twentieth century. This lavishly illustrated volume accompanies an exhibit at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Dusseldorf that focuses on Calder's works of the 1930s and '40s, a period in which the sculptor experimented with a number of wildly different artistic directions. In addition to showcasing a large number of Calder's early abstract sculptures, this book also presents key works by his contemporaries, artists such as Piet Mondrian, Joan Miro, and Jean Arp. By setting Calder's work alongside that of other artists, the volume establishes not only lines of influence and differentiation, but also the larger context in which he created his sculptures. Beautiful full-page images of Calder's iconic mobiles and stabiles give a rare sense of Calder's often playful use of space, and enable readers to study his work in detail. An accompanying DVD includes historical and experimental films, avant-garde music, interviews, and a walk through the exhibition, bringing the whole of Calder's achievement to life in unprecedented fashion.

Summary:
À travers une sélection de dessins originaux, d’œuvres et de photographies, Le Mémorial, projet d’architecture met en lumière la relation intense entretenue par Yves Klein et Claude Parent. Leur rencontre, rendue possible par le projet de l’« Architecture de l’air » de Klein, donne l’impulsion à une relation pleine de créativité : l’artiste conceptualise, l’architecte dessine et peint. C’est ainsi autour de la rencontre d’Yves Klein et Claude Parent et de leur fructueuse collaboration – autour du Rocket pneumatique, de l’Architecture de l’air et du projet des Fontaines de Varsovie – que ce livre se construit. Il présente, enfin, le projet de Mémorial conçu par Claude Parent pour Yves Klein, peu de temps après sa disparition, à la demande de sa mère, Marie Raymond, et de son épouse, l’artiste Rotraut.
