$90.00

Summary:
“She was successively called Rachel, Monique, Szyndler, Calle, Pagliero, Gonthier, Sindler. My mother liked people to talk about her. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her.

Summary:
“She was successively called Rachel, Monique, Szyndler, Calle, Pagliero, Gonthier, Sindler. My mother liked people to talk about her. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her. When I set up my camera at the foot of the bed in which she lay dying – fearing that she would pass away in my absence, whereas I wanted to be present and hear her last words – she exclaimed: ‘Finally.’”Sophie Calle describes Monique through extracts from personal notebooks and photographs from family albums, and presents her installation created at the Palais de Tokyo in homage to her mother, who died in 2007. This book was above all designed as an authentic art object, in collaboration with the artist. The cover text is embroidered to create a precious object, and all of the texts relating to the installation are embossed so as to evoke the texture of certain works by Sophie Calle. It is a highly personal and moving book, while at the same time offering thoughts on death that all of us can relate to.

Summary:
This gorgeously produced monograph focuses on the period during which Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) developed and refined his investigations of serial, reductive and permutational forms and compositions, a body of work that has had a profound influence on 20th-century contemporary art and painting. Included here are four of the ten iconic “yellow cloth paintings,” a series featured prominently in the historic 1998 exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and numerous late paintings by the Italian master. Lavishly reproduced, these immersive plates draw attention to the idiosyncratic perspectival and color-driven decisions that give the work its abstract power. In addition to an essay by art historian Laura Mattioli, founder of the Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA), the book includes a fantastic array of contributions by contemporary artists, including John Baldessari, Lawrence Carroll, Vija Celmins, Mark Greenwold, Liu Ye, Alexi Worth and Zeng Fanzhi. Each of the artists offers a personal response to Morandi’s work, and to the 2015 David Zwirner exhibition this book accompanies. Working in different mediums across many disciplines, this diverse list of contributors is a testament to the reach of Morandi’s paintings and their influence on contemporary art.

Summary:
The twins Gert and Uwe Tobias are among the most famous German artists in the field of printed graphics, and to this day their inimitable signature remains as radical as ever. Their large-format woodcuts, luminous collages, and nuanced typewriter drawings are frequently characterized by exuberant imagination, craftsman-like perfection, and humorous depth, and their most recent group of works, Grisaille, is in keeping with the creative and entertaining pieces we’ve come to expect from them. In "Grisaille", created exclusively for an exhibition at the Staatlichen Graphischen Sammlung in Munich, the artists reinvigorate the centuries-old technique of “grey-in-grey painting,” while simultaneously interpreting it in a fresh manner through woodcuts. Presenting a twilight, monochrome color scheme hitherto unseen in their work, the realm of shadows in their fabulous pictorial inventions is at once ambiguous and extreme. Richly illustrated with eighty color plates, this book presents a critical addition to their oeuvre.
