Summary:
Now into its 50th edition, after its historical beginnings as Kunstmarkt Köln ’67, Art Cologne is still one of the most important art fairs in the world. And it still has its roots in Kunstmarkt Köln ’67, as a fair for classic modernism, postwar and contemporary art. Originated by the Cologne gallery owners Hein Stünke and Rudolf Zwirner, Kunstmarkt Köln ’67 opened on September 12, 1967, in Gürzenich, the City of Cologne’s gothic banqueting hall, and was to change the international art market forever. How revolutionary this first fair was can only be understood today by means of the immediate reactions at the time, which were recorded in a flood of media reports. With a wealth of documents and illustrations, this weighty volume traces the history of the fair in chronological order.

Summary:
Tate Modern opened its doors in 2000, since when it has become the most popular modern and contemporary art attraction in the world, now welcoming more than 5 million visitors a year. Working with the shell of the former Bankside Power Station, internationally acclaimed architects Herzog & de Meuron created a gallery of singular power and beauty, whose spaces articulate a rare affinity with contemporary art. With the second major phase of the building now complete, Tate Modern presents a striking combination of the raw and the refined, of found industrial spaces and dazzling contemporary architecture. This is the definitive book of the building, and tells vividly the story of Tate Modern and the building of a twenty-first-century museum.

Summary:
This book is split into six chapters that proceed more or less chronologically. It begins by exploring the origins of the museum both as a cultural phenomenon and as a particular type of space. Central to this, as the first chapter explores, was the ‘princely collection’, that is, collections of painting and sculpture assembled by royalty and the nobility across Europe that began during the Renaissance and continued during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Although varying both in extent and artistic focus, the motivations driving the establishing of these early collections generally derived from their creators’ desires to fashion learned and enlightened images of themselves and their courts. With some exceptions, admission to these collections was limited to the social elite and those that they were trying to impress. The idea that collections should be open to a wider social group began to emerge during the eighteenth century with the advent of the wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities. These contained not just works of art, but all manner of objects, from natural history specimens to religious or cult artefacts, and everything in between.

Summary:
Cette publication retrace au travers de ses archives, l'histoire et l'évolution d'un lieu particulier, – le Centre d'édition contemporaine –sa production et sa politique artistiques, et détermine sa place, son statut et son engagement dans le champ de l'art contemporain. La période couverte, 1989-2007, se situe très loin du Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine (fondé dans les années 1960) devenu, en 2001, le Centre d'édition contemporaine. Elle correspond à une phase d'ouverture et de développement à un art contemporain en mutation accélérée. Parcourant ces dix-neuf ans d'activité, cet ouvrage tente de les illustrer et de les commenter, de les cataloguer et de les décrire dans le détail.
