Summary:
What meanings do buildings and places convey to the people who use and visit them? Too often, design competitions and signature architecture result in costly eyesores that do not work. These studies, from those specific to the Wexner Center to those of historical significance, point towards a new method for shaping the visual form of buildings, places, and cities.

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:
Harald Szeemann (1933-2005) was one of the most influential curators of the recent past. An entire generation of curators has been inspired by his independent way of creating exhibitions and his emphatic method of presenting contemporary art. In retrospect, Szeemann's infallible interest in artistic loners with strong attitudes and powerful personalities seems like a vehement contradiction of the kind of art market that focuses on trends and movements. This volume describes the "Szeemann principle," the visions of an enlightened artistic curator, and provides an overview of the most important stations of his singular curatorial career: the legendary exhibitions "When Attitudes Become Form" and documenta 5, the great thematic explorations such as "Bachelor Machines" and "Der Hang zum Gesamtkunstwerk," his discovery of the young Eastern European scenes, and the Biennials in Venice, Lyon, and Seville.
