Summary:
Vera Röhm’s name comes up in discussions of contemporary constructive art as an unorthodox example of the sculptural approach. Since the beginning of her artistic career she has been concerned with a repertoire of elementary geometric shapes. Her approach plays upon different kinds of distortion: incisions, cross-sections, mutilation and restoration/reconstruction; which(...)

Summary:
Vera Röhm’s name comes up in discussions of contemporary constructive art as an unorthodox example of the sculptural approach. Since the beginning of her artistic career she has been concerned with a repertoire of elementary geometric shapes. Her approach plays upon different kinds of distortion: incisions, cross-sections, mutilation and restoration/reconstruction; which bring about an increased richness of form and complexity, and challenge the viewer’s imagination. Metamorphosis of materials in "Integrations", multiplication of shapes in "Shadow Objects", not to forget her photographs of the Jaipur Observatory – all of these offer unexpected angles on the real world. When her works include written words – as is the case with her cube-series bearing the inscription "Night Is The Shadow of The Earth" – this can be associated with Concrete Poetry. Her work in general also falls within the tradition of Constructivism, although there is an almost temperamental inclination to geometrical form, which is always manifest in the rich variations of shape that inform her sculptures. This first comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work in the English language is accompanied by essays by the poet and critic Eugen Gomringer and the art historian Stephen Bann.

Summary:
One of the most prized categories of early photography was the reproduction of artworks, a role in which photographs largely replaced engravings in book imagery during the mid-19th century. Photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other works were compiled in albums, ranging from surveys of museum collections and catalogues of works by single artists to illustrated travel guides and archaeological reports. While such albums have often been valued for documentary purposes, their broader role in the institutional development of art has, until now, been overlooked. The first book on the subject, this collection of twelve essays explores topics such as how the acclaim of artists like Rubens grew because their paintings reproduced so well in photographs, how Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes were given a new public identity by the photographer's choice of striking details never explored in traditional prints, and other important ways in which photographically illustrated publications influenced the experience and the history of art.
