Summary:
This book is dedicated solely to this important member of the Russian avant-garde, this volume profiles Lazar Khidekel, a brilliant artist and architect whose career proves a key link in the story of abstraction. For decades the work of Lazar Khidekel has been undeservedly overlooked by galleries and museums--primarily because the Russian avant-garde movement was interrupted midstream and forced underground by the Soviet state. It provides the perfect introduction to Khidekel's decades-long career and coincides with a recently renewed fascination with Suprematism and the development of 20th-century abstraction.

Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889–1943) ranks among the pioneers of the early twentieth century’s classical avant-garde.

Summary:
Axel Ciesielski is an avid collector of Sigmar Polke s work, probably the only person in the world who can say that he owns each one of the artist s editions. This catalog presents all the posters produced for Polke s museum and gallery exhibitions posters almost exclusively designed and determined by the artists ironic eye. A particularly fascinating aspect of Ciesielski s collection is that it includes perfect copies of all these posters as ephemeral counterparts to Polke s work; the artist himself included the posters in his catalog raisonné, pointing to their hybrid state between artwork and advertisement. The book is also a journey through the art world of the 1960s, revealing Polke s early benefactors as well as the institutional retrospectives that subsequently promoted and reflected his worldwide fame.

Summary:
Monographie de référence : un parcours complet, sur près de 10 ans, de l'œuvre de l'artiste française récompensée du Lion d'argent à la 55e Biennale de Venise, en quelque 400 images, avec deux essais et un entretien. D'abord reconnu pour ses vidéos et films d'animation qui mêlent dessin, musique et images cinématographiques, parfois grattées ou retravaillées, le travail de Camille Henrot (née en 1978, vit et travaille à Paris) brouille les catégories traditionnellement hiérarchiques de l'histoire de l'art. Ses dernières œuvres, qui se déclinent sous forme de sculptures, dessins, photographies, et toujours films, traitent de la fascination exercée par l'ailleurs et par l'autre (géographique, mais aussi sexuel), fascination reprise dans les mythes populaires modernes dont s'inspire Camille Henrot. Les objets hybrides, impurs, de l'artiste jettent un doute sur l'écriture linéaire et cloisonnée de l'histoire occidentale, et soulignent sa part d'emprunts et ses zones d'ombres.
