Résumé:
This reader in Whitechapel's Documents of Contemporary Art series investigates the interchange between art and design. Since the Pop and Minimalist eras--as the work of artists ranging from Andy Warhol to Dan Graham demonstrates--the traditional boundaries between art and architectural, graphic, and product design have dissolved in critically significant ways. Design and Art traces the rise of the "design-art" phenomenon through the writings of critics and practitioners active in both fields. The texts include writings by Paul Rand, Hal Foster, Miwon Kwon, and others that set the parameters of the debate; utopian visions, including those of architect Peter Cook and writer Douglas Coupland; project descriptions by artists (among them Tobias Rehberger and Jorge Pardo) juxtaposed with theoretical writings; surveys of group practices by such collectives as N55 and Superflex; and views of the artist as mediator--a role assumed in the past to be the province of the designer--as seen in work by Frederick Kiesler, Ed Ruscha, and others. Finally, a book that doesn't privilege either the art world or the design world but puts them in dialogue with each other.

Résumé:
«Histoire de l'art» de E.H. Gombrich est l'un des ouvrages sur l'art les plus célèbres et les plus populaires jamais publiés. Depuis plus de cinquante ans, il demeure une introduction inégalée à l'ensemble du sujet, des premières peintures rupestres à l'art d'aujourd'hui. Dans le monde entier, les lecteurs de tous âges et de tous milieux ont trouvé en Gombrich un véritable maître, qui allie la connaissance et la sagesse à un don unique pour communiquer directement sa profonde affection pour les œuvres qu'il décrit. Cette «Histoire de l'art» doit sa popularité durable au style simple et direct de l'auteur, ainsi qu'à son ton narratif. Son but, écrit-il, est «d'apporter un certain ordre, une certaine clarté dans l'abondance de noms propres, de dates, de styles qui compliquent quelque peu les ouvrages plus spécialisés». Grâce à son intelligence de la psychologie des arts visuels, il nous fait percevoir l'histoire de l'art comme un «enchaînement interrompu de traditions encore vivantes» qui «relie l'art de notre temps à celui de l'âge des pyramides».

A collection of essays by art historians, anthropologists and commentators on contemporary visual culture on the theme of "Location". This publication explores the theme of "Location", including transatlantic exchanges and global connections, and the nature of hospitality that arises in acknowledging migration and diaspora. It also questions how important location is in producing, understanding and curating art. The contributors consider such topics as site-specificity, examinations of the trans-national/trans-cultural, how images/visual forms migrate, and the repositioning of ownership.

Résumé:
From 1970 until 1987, Gilles Deleuze held a weekly seminar at the Experimental University of Vincennes and, starting in 1980, at Saint-Denis. In the spring of 1981, he began a series of eight seminars on painting and its intersections with philosophy. The recorded sessions, newly transcribed and translated into English, are now available in their entirety for the first time. Extensively annotated by philosopher David Lapoujade, On Painting illuminates Deleuze’s thinking on artistic creation, significantly extending the lines of thought in his book Francis Bacon. Through paintings and writing by Rembrandt, Delacroix, Turner, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Klee, Pollock, and Bacon, Deleuze explores the creative process, from chaos to the pictorial fact. The introduction and use of color feature prominently as Deleuze elaborates on artistic and philosophical concepts such as the diagram, modulation, code, and the digital and the analogical. Through this scrutiny, he raises a series of profound and stimulating questions for his students: How does a painter ward off grayness and attain color? What is a line without contour? Why paint at all?

In these six essays, Mitch Speed plumbs the ambivalences that at once fuel and plague art. Written over the last fifteen years, in parallel to Speed’s work as an art critic, the essays forward ways of writing, which might be better equipped to trace art’s role in life, from personal intricacies to looming political questions. Each piece proceeds through a specific theme, for example: the art world’s relationship to socioeconomic injustice, the beguiling return of found objects to contemporary art, the devolution of art criticism into a branch of the communications industry, and how we can better understand art’s meanings, by attending closely to the words of the people who make it.

Résumé:
Surrealism was not only an international artistic movement, but also a political one. Its members denounced European colonial policy, opposed fascist regimes, fought for the Spanish Republic, were persecuted, went into exile, and died in war. They wrote poetry, deconstructed the language of a supposedly rational world, worked on paintings, collective drawings, took photographs, and made collages. Surrealism was associated with later emancipatory concerns not as a style, but as a method, and was taken up by the student protests of the 1960s and the Black Liberation Movement. This catalogue is published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Lenbachhaus Munich. In the form of an anthology, it presents pivotal texts and manifestoes of political Surrealism from its beginnings to current references in art and politics. It thus offers a valuable contribution to revising the still narrowly defined Surrealist canon.

Résumé:
In a sweeping journey through time, bestselling author Florian Illies tells the story of Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings and their impact on subsequent generations. Many of his most beautiful paintings were burned, first in his birthplace and then in World War II; others, like the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, emerge from the mists of history a hundred years after Friedrich's death. Illies recounts the story of how Friedrich's paintings ended up at the Russian czar's court, others among a pile of winter tires in a Mafia car repair shop, and others still in the kitchen of a German social housing apartment. Adored by Hitler and Rainer Maria Rilke, despised by Stalin and by the generation of 68, this compelling narrative dances through 250 years of history as seen through Friedrich’s art and life. As a result, the man himself becomes flesh and blood before our very eyes.
