Résumé:
This book explores the evolving concept of unfinishedness as essential to understanding art movements from the Renaissance to the present day. Unfinished features more than 200 works, created in a variety of media, by artists ranging from Leonardo, Titian, Rembrandt, Turner, and Cézanne to Picasso, Warhol, Twombly, Freud, Richter, and Nauman. What unites these works, across centuries and media, is that each one displays some aspect of being unfinished. Essays and case studies by major contemporary scholars address this key concept from the perspective of both the creator and the viewer, probing the impact that this long artistic trajectory—which can be traced back to the first century—has had on modern and contemporary art. The book explores the degrees to which instances of incompleteness were accidental or intentional, experimental or conceptual. Also included are illuminating interviews with contemporary artists, including Tuymans, Celmins, and Marden, and parallel considerations of the unfinished in literature and film. The result is a multidisciplinary approach and thought-provoking analysis that provide valuable insight into the making, meaning, and critical reception of the unfinished in art.

Résumé:
Catalogue de la 9e Biennale d'art contemporain de Lyon (19 septembre 2007 – 6 janvier 2008), conçu suivant les principes qui régissent la programmation de la manifestation organisée par Stéphanie Moisdon et Hans Ulrich Obrist. Cet ouvrage relève à la fois du jeu, de la cartographie et de l'expérience d'une écriture collective. Pensé comme un livre d'histoire et de géographie de l'art contemporain, il est le résultat d'une série d'investigations et de programmations des concepteurs de la manifestation et de Thierry Raspail. Réunissant 70 « joueurs » du monde entier (artistes, critiques et commissaires d'exposition) répartis entre deux cercles selon le type d'intervention demandé, le projet s'est développé autour d'une question centrale : « Comment définir la décennie actuelle ? ». S'il était proposé au premier cercle de choisir de choisir des réponses parmi ce que les artistes produisent aujourd'hui, il était demandé aux joueurs du second cercle de séquencer leurs choix ou de les confronter à d'autres. L'ensemble de ces subjectivités, cadrées par quelques règles de présentation (qui ? pourquoi ? comment ?), participent ici à un exercice de délimitation, de détourage et de recadrage d'une décennie et d'un objet – l'art – dont le tracé est de plus en plus indispensable. La publication s'accompagne d'essais inédits de et d'entretiens avec Mehdi Belhaj-Kacem, Stefano Boeri, François Cusset, Okwui Enwezor, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Jappe, Paul Veyne et Ralph Rugoff.

Résumé:
Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731) was a celebrated Dutch anatomist, master embalmer, and museologist. He is best remembered today for strange tableaux, crafted from fetal skeletons and other human remains, that flicker provocatively at the edges of science, art, and memento mori. Ruysch exhibited these pieces, along with hundreds of other artful specimens, in his home museum and catalogued them in his lavishly illustrated ''Thesaurus Anatomicus.'' This book offers the first English translation of Ruysch's guide to his collection, along with all the illustrations from the original volume, photographs of some his most imaginative extant specimens, and more.
