Résumé:
The interview has become a quintessentially twentieth-century form of historical narrative, writes co-editor Patricia Bickers in this rich collection of interviews with artists from the British magazine Art Monthly. From the interview with constructivist Naum Gabo, done just a few months before his death, this weighty volume (without illustrations) includes more than 60 influential artists of the last quarter of the twentieth century. The importance of the artists is unmistakable, including Frank Stella, David Hockney, Robert Motherwell, Jasper Johns, Barbara Kruger, Brice Marden, Gilbert & George, George Segal, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Sol LeWitt and John Baldessari. With an outstanding index of artists and others cited by the interviewees.

Résumé:
One of the defining paintings of British Pop art, Richard Hamilton's Swingeing London 67(f) depicts two men--Mick Jagger and Hamilton's art dealer, Robert Fraser--handcuffed together in the back of a police van. The image is taken from a newspaper photograph that shows the two being driven from Lewes prison to Chichester Magistrates Court following their June 1967 arrest for possession of drugs. Andrew Wilson views Swingeing London 67 (f) as history painting, to be understood in the context of the struggle against the British state's attempt--aided and abetted by the popular press--to repress any expression of personal liberation. Hamilton's Pop art idiom of figuration and media images was his way of refusing the demands of an old aesthetic order.

Résumé:
Since 1997 Luciano Giubbilei has been creating serenely beautiful gardens in locations on three continents. Giubbilei is known for the understated elegance of his designs, but is constantly evolving his approach, both in response to individual clients and as his ideas develop. His work draws on his Italian heritage, especially the Renaissance gardens of the Villa Gamberaia in Tuscany, and a distinctively classical combination of restraint and opulent materials. This book examines 12 significant gardens from Giubbilei’s portfolio. Each project is fully documented, from the preparation of mood boards to final planting and finishing. Sections on site development, nursery production and the sourcing of plants, and the artists and craftsmen with whom Giubbilei works complete the in-depth account of his working methods and sources of inspiration.
