Summary:
More than any other Surrealist, Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim embraced, pursued and defined Surrealism's cult of the object, fashioning such classic works as the famous fur cup and the trussed high-heels, infusing everyday domestic objects with a concise eroticism.

Summary:
More than any other Surrealist, Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim embraced, pursued and defined Surrealism's cult of the object, fashioning such classic works as the famous fur cup and the trussed high-heels, infusing everyday domestic objects with a concise eroticism. Yet many facets of her innovative and wide-ranging practice remain unknown to this day, including her extraordinary fountain projects. From the late 1960s until her death, Oppenheim designed and produced models for a series of freewheeling aquatic sculptures. Only three of these have been realized: the "Meret Oppenheim Fountain" in Bern in her native Switzerland, the "Spiral (Nature's Course)" in Paris and the "Hermes Fountain" located in the garden of artist and onetime collaborator Daniel Spoerri in Seggiano, Italy. Fountain Stories is the first to gather all of Oppenheim's fountain projects, including her drawings and unrealized models, into a single definitive publication.

Summary:
Daniel Spoerri was a co-signatory of the Nouveau Réalisme manifesto in 1960, an early member of Fluxus and the author of the classic "Anecdoted Topography of Chance", which recorded and annotated the contents of Spoerri's desk. In 1968 Spoerri also opened Restaurant Spoerri, introducing his concept of "Eat Art," which he had initiated a decade earlier, and which explored the creation, decay and "trapping" of food upon tables that were then recapitulated as assemblages. Marking the occasion of the artist's eightieth birthday, this publication approaches the theme of food throughout Spoerri's oeuvre, from the early 1960s to the present. It includes the artist's replica of the Restaurant Spoerri, a survey of Spoerri's trap pictures from 1978 to 1992, and a large number of more recent assemblages and sculptures, bringing his audience fully up to date.

Summary:
This publication focuses on recent works by German artist Olaf Nicolai (born 1962), including his 2009 work "Mirador." Inspired by the eponymous observation point in Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe, Nicolai traveled to the South Pacific to take a single photograph, of which only one copy was made, thus undoing assumptions of the photograph as a reproducible object.

(available to order)
Summary:
For his paper collages, Björn Braun carefully cuts out photographs from old illustrated books and reassembles them in fresh ways: a mountain range might grow out of the shingles of a church roof. Braun's sculptural works follow a similar logic--nothing can be destroyed unless something new is created from it.
