Résumé:
L’œuvre d’Eva Nielsen est constamment à la lisière de quelque chose : au seuil du territoire, de son centre et de sa périphérie, de l’image imprimée et de la peinture, de l’abstraction et de la figuration. D’un horizon à l’autre, du format au sujet, le paysage prédomine dans ses peintures et ses dessins. Inspire´ à la fois par les architectures et par leurs vestiges tant modernistes qu’utopistes, son regard se pose sur ce qui semble être “hors de vue” car les lieux qu’elle retranscrit n’apparaissent qu’entre les interstices d’une nature abandonnée et des sites industriels. Telle une topographe, une observatrice ou une nomade, l’artiste expérimente ces territoires en mutation.

Résumé:
Alex Katz is one of the most influential American painters of the twentieth century. Though he perversely pursued figurative work in the era of Abstract Expressionism, the influence of his stylized portraits of New York’s artworld demimonde, as well as his unmistakable Maine landscapes, can now be seen in the work of countless younger artists. This concise and affordable publication, which showcases Katz’s work from the Banca della Svizzera Italiana (BSI) collection, contains images from throughout his career. What makes this volume notable is not only the opportunity to consider these rarely-seen pieces and commissions, but also the technical and anecdotal commentary that Katz has provided for each work.

A part of the early 1990s art and graffiti boom associated with San Francisco's Mission School ) and with the Beautiful Loser generation, McGee synthesizes a wide range of resources, including the Mexican muralists, anonymous street art and San Francisco Beat poetry, all of which are notably characterized by a sense of public address that McGee never neglects to convey in his own work. His paintings, drawings and installations spill over with graphic energy and political anger, and direct exhortations to his audience to respond to the life around them. This hardcover artist's book takes the form of a visual collage, incorporating photographs, drawings, paintings and documentation of past and present installations.

Résumé:
Over the course of his entire career, Robert Rauschenberg dedicated works to only five other artists: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, and the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely. The practices of Tinguely and Rauschenberg intersected kinetically during a few pivotal years in the early 1960s. The two men joined forces on several more artistic projects, despite their aesthetic differences: Rauschenberg once remarked of Tinguely, "He liked mechanical things such as engines; I preferred hedonistic things such as bathtubs." This punblication documents this productive friendship.

From early in his career, Guston had taken inspiration from Italian art, and his 1973 painting "Pantheon" features a list of Italian painters: de Chirico, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Giotto and Tiepolo.
