Résumé:
''Francesca Woodman: The artist’s books'' collects for the first time every page of all eight of Francesca Woodman’s unique artist’s books in one comprehensive volume, including two newly discovered books which have never been seen before, alongside better-known titles such as ''Some Disordered Interior Geometries''. The basis of these works is in tattered nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century journals and notebooks that Woodman collected from bookshops and flea markets in Rome in the late 1970s. She later transformed these found volumes, attaching her prints, transparencies, and written annotations to their evocative pages. These books demonstrate a sophisticated relationship to narrative and sequence and offer a new understanding of the scope of Woodman’s engagement with the book form.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage recense le travail de recherche de l'artiste Lara Almarcegui sur l'ensemble d'habitats des Maisons Castors à Villeurbanne, issu d'un mouvement d'autoconstruction collaborative des années 1940. Des groupes de familles y bâtissaient leurs logements en mettant en commun leurs compétences : rappel que chaque bâtiment est porteur de l'histoire d'un lieu et que sa conservation ou non dans le temps est un indicateur de volontés politiques comme de réalités sociales. Initié en collaboration avec les habitants de Castor à la suite d'une enquête sur les transformations urbaines à Villeurbanne, ce livre-récit est une expérience à la croisée de l'art, de la construction et de l'urbanisme. Il rend compte d’une vision concise et précise du processus de construction et de la façon dont le matériau s'inscrit dans la ville construite. En explorant la relation avec la terre et les matériaux, une grande attention est accordée à la manière dont les matériaux de construction ont été récupérés à partir des sédiments de la rivière proche – les familles creusant profondément pour obtenir du gravier et du sable. Les cendres ont été obtenues à partir des industries voisines pour fabriquer du béton mâchefer.

Résumé:
An examination of the multifaceted career of artist, activist, curator, and writer Howardena Pindell (b. 1943). It offers a fresh perspective on her abstract practice from the late 1960s through the early 1980s—a period in which debates about Black Power, feminism, and modernist abstraction intersected in uniquely contentious yet generative ways. Sarah Louise Cowan not only asserts Pindell’s rightful place within the canon but also recenters dominant historical narratives to reveal the profound and overlooked roles that Black women artists have played in shaping modernist abstraction. Pindell’s career acts as a springboard for a broader study of how artists have responded during periods of heightened social activism and used abstraction to convey political urgency. With works that drew on Ghanaian textiles, administrative labor, cosmetics, and postminimalism, Pindell deployed abstraction in deeply personal ways that resonated with collective African diasporic and women’s practices. In her groundbreaking analysis, Cowan argues that such work advanced Black feminist modernisms, diverse creative practices that unsettle racist and sexist logics.

The late Matt Wrbican, former chief archivist of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, once said ''there are very few stories left to tell about Warhol, but textiles is one of them''. This is the first book devoted to the commercial textile designs of this leading figure in the history of art. With new photography throughout, including unpublished images of newly discovered textiles, the book sheds new light on a previously undocumented but important aspect of Warhol’s oeuvre. Featuring over 30 different textiles, from ice cream sundaes to acrobatic clowns, ''Warhol: The textiles'' offers a unique record of the beginnings of one of the twentieth century’s most notable artists.

Résumé:
In this radical rethinking of the art of Louise Nevelson (1899–1988), Julia Bryan-Wilson provides a long-overdue critical account of a signature figure in postwar sculpture. A Ukraine-born Jewish immigrant, Nevelson persevered in the male-dominated New York art world. Nonetheless, her careful procedures of construction—in which she assembled found pieces of wood into elaborate structures, usually painted black—have been little studied. Organized around a series of key operations in Nevelson’s own process (dragging, coloring, joining, and facing), the book comprises four slipcased, individually bound volumes that can be read in any order. Both form and content thus echo Nevelson’s own modular sculptures, the gridded boxes of which the artist herself rearranged. Exploring how Nevelson’s making relates to domesticity, racialized matter, gendered labor, and the environment, Bryan-Wilson offers a sustained examination of the social and political implications of Nevelson’s art. The author also approaches Nevelson’s sculptures from her own embodied subjectivity as a queer feminist scholar. She forges an expansive art history that places Nevelson’s assemblages in dialogue with a wide array of marginalized worldmaking and underlines the artist’s proclamation of allegiance to blackness.

Résumé:
This book is the first extended study of the life and work of German-born Venezuelan artist Gertrude Goldschmidt (1912–94), known as Gego. In locating the artist’s contribution to postwar art and her important place in the global conversations around modernity, Mónica Amor explores her intermedial practice as a model of cultural complexity at the ''edge of modernity.'' In situating Gego’s work alongside other local archives and against her European education and global reception, Amor offers a monographic model that complicates traditional approaches to history. She investigates the full range of Gego’s work, including her furniture workshop, her teaching at schools of architecture and design, her seminal reticuláreas, and her lesser-known prints. Through rigorous archival research, formal analysis, theoretical relevance, and deep exploration of historical context, this essential book unpacks Gego’s radical recasting of the modern sculptural project through her engagement with architecture, craft, and design pedagogy.

Résumé:
Published in conjunction with the exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, this monograph presents the most up-to-date compilation of the spatial and architectural works of New Mexico–based artist Bruce Nauman (born 1941). Through his neons, corridors and room installations, Nauman accentuates the contrast between the perceptual and physical experience of space. Perception itself can be interpreted as the subject matter of his work; the aesthetic experience of entering a narrow corridor or an empty room flooded with neon light supersedes the art 'objects' in the viewer’s experience. The volume includes newly commissioned essays on Nauman's conceptual developments and formal variations by scholars, conservators and curators such as Joan Simon, Francesca Esmay and Gloria Sutton, and a text by the exhibition curators. Alongsidephotographic documentation of the show, the publication also features entries for the 30 works on display written by researchers from international institutions.

Since the late 1960s he has shaped our understanding of how contemporary art can both reflect and comment on our experience of ourselves and of the world. Focusing on his experiments with sound, language, moving image and immersive installations, this book includes texts on Nauman’s video works of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as on the development of his studio practice over a period of fifty years, along with a conversation between the artist, Andrea Lissoni, and Nicholas Serota. Nauman is here revealed as an artist who has made his mark on the art of both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Résumé:
Ce livre est une étude de la réception de l’artiste américain Cy Twombly (1928-2011) par la critique américaine, de sa première exposition à la rétrospective que lui a consacré le Museum of Modern Art de New York en 1994-1995. Il examine d’abord le statut du peintre dans le contexte du triomphe de l’expressionnisme abstrait durant la première partie de sa carrière, relayé par le pop’art et l’art minimal, au moment ou l’artiste s’installe en Europe, et par la décennie du postminimal qui ouvre quelques brèches dans le mainstream formaliste et moderniste jusque-là dominant. Les années 1980 et 1990 sont celles d’une réévaluation de ces critères par le discours postmoderne, dans laquelle l’artiste se trouve pris et dont il devient même une figure remarquable. La réception de Twombly aux États-Unis est donc symptomatique, au long de sa carrière, d’horizons d’attente et de présupposés qui gouvernent la critique et l’histoire de l’art en fonction des préoccupations du moment.

This is a walk through a decade’s worth of work by Misha Kahn. Glitzy, wobbly, hairy, witty—no number of adjectives aptly describes an output so vast, one which ranges from underwater mosaic sculptures and scrap-metal chaise longues to a gem-encrusted, wrist-worn, labyrinth-style ball game. Neither strictly an artist nor a designer, Misha himself emphatically avoids categorisation for the very real fear it might box him in and close off fresh, breakable ground. It’s this boundless energy for every new material or technical challenge, combined with his singular ideas and aesthetics, that has made Misha a leading creative voice of his generation.
