Summary:
Bien que Karl Waldmann ai disparu dans les années 1950 son œuvre n'a été découverte que récemment, à la fin des années 1980. Si cette œuvre s'impose immédiatement par sa force et sa beauté, c'est aussi sa singularité qui retient l'attention : entre Dada et le Constructivisme, sa place dans l'histoire de l'art parait singulière, singularité qui tient également au fait que cette œuvre est constituée essentiellement d'une forme d'expression marginale, le collage. Ce livre, le premier consacré au travail de Waldmann, présente une série d'études qui interrogent l'originalité de cette œuvre, son rapport à l'histoire de l'art, ses choix formels et thématiques, mais qui mettent également en évidence les questions que cette œuvre pose au sujet de la notion d'auteur, du rapport de l'art à l'Histoire et à la politique, du jugement esthétique, de la philosophie de l'art et de l'image. Par tous ces aspects, l'œuvre de cet artiste jusqu'alors inconnu apparaît étonnamment proche de certains des questionnements actuels de l'art et de la philosophie esthétique.

Summary:
Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), renowned for his role in establishing Conceptualism and Minimalism as dominant art movements in the postwar era, is perhaps best known for his masterful and brilliantly colored wall drawings. Throughout his career, however, LeWitt also created many remarkable three-dimensional works suitable for display in outdoor settings. In this publication, which accompanies the first major career survey of LeWitt's "structures," the artist's modular works are traced from their simplest manifestation in a single large-scale cube through multiple variations, with examples from the 1960s through the 1990s. Works from the 1980s onward explore the three-dimensional possibilities of diverse geometric forms, such as stars, and the introduction of new materials, including concrete block and fiberglass, stimulating experimentation with non-geometric, irregular forms on an increasing scale.

La galerie de portraits de Stéphanie Cohen Chaptal nous donne à voir aussi bien des anonymes que des personnalités du monde des arts, de la mode et de la politique. Ces "portraits en mots" - écrits sur commande pour des magazines comme Vogue ou Visionaire, des maisons de disques, des maisons de couture comme Balenciaga ou Yves Saint Laurent, mais aussi pour des particuliers - sont de véritables miniatures. Par touches successives, les sujets se révèlent et affleure, en de subtils clairs-obscurs, la part irréductible de leur être. Au-delà de l'intimité du face-à-face, c'est la relation entre le peintre et son modèle qui, dans cette galerie subjective, se rejoue sous nos yeux.

Summary:
Published to accompany the first large-scale retrospective of Alighiero Boetti's work outside Italy in over a decade, this volume covers all periods of Boetti's broad oeuvre, including early sculptural experiments associated with the Arte Povera movement, conceptual and ephemeral projects of the 1970s and the monumental embroideries and tapestries he fabricated up to his death. This illustrated catalogue is structured as a typology of the artist's body of work rather than a chronological progression. Essays by curators from the Reina Sofia, Madrid, the Tate Modern, London and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, address recurrent themes in Boetti's work such as travel and geography, time, order and disorder and singularity and multitude, while contributions by scholars examine his early influences and his relationship to the cultural, political, and social spheres of Italy and Afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s. This volume celebrates the material diversity, conceptual complexity and visual beauty of Boetti's work, proving that he is one of the most important and influential artists of his generation.

Summary:
This publication is British filmmaker Peter Greenaway's multimedia tale of the adventures of one Tulse Luper. Born in 1911 and possibly still alive, Tulse Henry Purcell Luper was a writer, collector, criminal and world traveler. His sole legacy is a mysterious collection of 92 packed suitcases dispersed around the globe that purportedly constitute a complete encyclopedia of the planet and all that is in it, classified by object, event and idea, and from which absolutely nothing is omitted. This volume features Luper's drawings of the fabled suitcases, which Greenaway exhibited in the summer of 2010 at the Rivelino Gallery in Locarno, Switzerland.

Summary:
This monograph presents over five decades of work by this artist and reveals the variety of ways and creativity with which Alex Wyse has expressed his distinct worldview. Taking the vein of environmental consciousness running through Wyse's work, the authors stress key works that disclose the human folly that so often underlies environmental disaster such as: the Super Shows Presents series that began in the late 1960s; the elaborate tableaus depicting the inventive antics of the Rutherford siblings from the mid-1970s; and the pointillist paintings, where troubled fish and trees try to escape their spoiled environments from the mid-1980s onward.
