Summary:
Although known for his paintings and drawings, California artist Ed Ruscha has also attracted critical attention for his photography. A new exhibition and accompanying catalogue, "Ed Ruscha, photographer", depart from earlier books to explore how the artist’s different disciplines — painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography — are guided and shaped by a single vision. Ruscha’s relationship to photography is complex and ambivalent, and the work is difficult to define. He has referred to his photography as a “hobby” but from the outset it has drawn considerable critical interest. The small books of photographs that Ruscha produced in the sixties and seventies earned him a reputation as an underground artist among his peers, and have influenced subsequent generations of artists in Europe and North America. The photographs were snapshot size, with an amateurish quality that intrigued his contemporaries. Neither purely documentary nor solely artistic, their subject matter was stereotypical and banal, with motifs drawn from sites in Southern California or the western United States. This, combined with their serial presentation, created a mythical road-movie or photo-novel effect with Beat Generation innuendos and inspired interest among artists at a time when serial logic was prominent in Pop art and Minimalism, and later in Conceptual art. This volume is produced in conjunction with a traveling exhibition to be shown in Europe in 2006, organized by The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The exhibition photographs have been selected from the collections of the Whitney and the artist by independent curator Margit Rowell.

Summary:
One of the premier institutions of contemporary art in the country, the Walker Art Center also holds an important collection of over 11,000 objects from the early 20th century to the present. These holdings reflect the Center's renowned multidisciplinary program, and include paintings, sculpture, prints, photography, film, video, installations, and digital arts that range in date from classic early modernist to cutting edge contemporary. While aiming to represent the immense diversity in art-making around the world, the collection also is known for several areas of specialty including Minimalism, Arte Povera, Fluxus, and contemporary printmaking. In-depth representations of work by individual artists, including Matthew Barney, Joseph Beuys, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, William Klein, Robert Motherwell, and Kara Walker reflect the Center's long and close relationships with many of the century's most creative minds. Showcased in this stunning, expansive, well-designed volume are more than 650 beautifully reproduced works of art. Co-authored by the Walker's curators and staff, and more than 30 Walker alumni, this book draws heavily on Walker archival material to serve as both a history of the institution and a primer on modern and contemporary art. Adding further dimension to the polyvocal, multifaceted rendition of this dynamic public art centre are contributions from a select group of acclaimed writers including, A.S. Byatt, Joshua Clover, Arthur Danto, Dave Eggers, Darby English, Annie Proulx, David Shapiro, and others. The catalogue is published in conjunction with the Spring 2005 re-opening of the newly expanded Walker Art Center. Artists include Matthew Barney, Chuck Close, Bruce Conner, Joseph Cornell, Merce Cummingham, Dan Flavin, Robert Gober, Dan Graham, David Hockney, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, William Klein, Sherrie Levine, Sol Lewitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Sharon Lockhart, Kerry James Marshall, Bruce Nauman, Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Prince, Charles Ray, Edward Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, Kiki Smith, Frank Stella, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, and many others.

Summary:
After the second world war, New York became a laboratory for the avant-garde, a role it would maintain for decades. Despite the increasing globalisation and decentralization of the centers of artistic creativity, New York continues to embody some of the most significant artistic trends of the 20th century. Published on the occasion of the major exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum, the book is the first to explore this topic, broadly interpreted to encompass the fields of architecture, cinema, photography, music, performance and video. By selectively focusing on the successive arts movements of those decades (including Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Postmodernism ), it highlights the dominant role that American artists have, through their work, played in the art world; these American artists turned New York into a unique place to express themselves as fully as possible, and to become known and established on the international arts scene. The artists, photographers, architects, musicians and filmmakers included in the book: Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, Carl Andre, Diane Arbus, Richard Artschwager, Richard Avedon, Matthew Barney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Cage, John Chamberlain, Gregory Crewdson, Merce Cunningham, John Currin, Bruce Davidson, Willem de Kooning, Jim Dine, Mark di Suvero, Elliot Erwitt, Richard Estes, Eric Fischl, Dan Flavin, Robert Frank, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Friedlander, Tom Friedman, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Eva Hesse, Hans Hoffman, Jenny Holzer, Peter Hujar, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Andrés Kertész, Franz Kline, Joseph Kosuth, Barbara Kruger, Annie Leibovitz, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Longo, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Morris Louis, Robert Mapplethorpe, Brice Marden, Mary Ellen Mark, Agnes Martin, Susan Meiselas, Joel Meyerowitz, Duane Michals, Joan Mitchell, Robert Morris, Robert Motherwell, Bruce Nauman, Barnet Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, Irving Penn, Gilles Peress, Sylvia Plachy, Jackson Pollock, Richard Prince, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, Eugene Richards, James Rosenquist, Mark Rothko, Susan Rothenberg, Robert Ryman, David Salle, Lucas Samaras, Tom Sachs, Andres Serrano, Joel Shapiro, Julian Schnabel, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, David Smith, Doug and Mike Starn, Frank Stella, Haim Steinbach, Joel Sternfeld, Clyfford Still, Cy Twombly, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Lawrence Weiner, Tom Wesselman, Brian Weil, Sue Williams, Garry Winogrand, David Wojnarowicz, Christopher Wool.
