Résumé:
Il y a une longue tradition des écrits d’artistes à travers les siècles, mais dès lors que le texte s’affirme comme un complément indispensable de l’œuvre d’art, celle-ci change radicalement de statut. Elle ne se suffit plus à elle-même, sa compréhension globale par le spectateur implique de lire, avant ou en parallèle, le propos théorique qui l’accompagne. Un dispositif se met en place, qui a notamment pour effet de transformer le spectateur, et de faire éclater l’autorité des critiques et des institutions. Cette profonde mutation a lieu dans les années 1960, et se prolonge dans les décennies suivantes. Elle est ici exposée et analysée à travers trois figures majeures de l’art contemporain : Daniel Buren, Michelangelo Pistoletto et Robert Morris. Pour la première fois, le livre de Sally Bonn aborde avec empathie le statut nouveau d’un art qui intègre son explication et l’énoncé de son intention dans le dispositif même de sa livraison au public.

Résumé:
L’art et l’argent : l’association semble aller de soi, tant il est devenu difficile, voire impossible, de ne pas immédiatement parler d’argent lorsqu’on parle de l’art d’aujourd’hui, dit contemporain. La singularité de ce petit ouvrage vient du fait qu’il donne à entendre des acteurs divers qui ont tous travaillé à faire entendre une voix propre – philosophes, historienne de l’art, écrivain, mais aussi anciens étudiants en école d’art ou encore directeur d’une école d’art municipale. La question de l’art et celle de ses rapports avec l’argent appartient à tout le monde : c’est un problème public, comme entendait l’affirmer Jean- Pierre Cometti, qui est à l’origine du projet. L’ouvrage revient donc sur ce lien obligé, afin de comprendre depuis quand, comment et sous quelles formes, la « valeur » argent a transformé nos façons de faire de l’art, de le regarder et d’en parler.

Résumé:
"The collector of lives" presents a lively introduction to a seminal figure in the very human story of art itself. An accomplished painter, architect and diplomat, Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) is best known for Lives of the Artists, his classic account of the great masters—a book that invented the genre of artistic biography, single-handedly established the canon of Italian Renaissance art and founded the cults of Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo that persist to this day. Vasari positioned art as an intellectual pursuit instead of just a technical skill, teaching us to view artists as geniuses and visionaries rather than as simple craftsmen.

Résumé:
Warhol’s Factory of the 1960s, Minimalism’s assembly-line aesthetics, conceptual and feminist concern with workers’ conditions in the 1970s—these are among the antecedents of a renewed focus on the work of art: labor as artistic activity, as artistic method and as object of artistic engagement. In 2002, the “Work Ethic” exhibition curated by Helen Molesworth at the Baltimore Museum of Art took its cue from recent art to spotlight this earlier era of artistic practice in which activity became as valid as, and often dispensed with, object-production. Revealed through this prism was “dematerialized” art’s close and critical relation to the emergent information age’s criteria of management, production and skill. By 2015, the Venice Biennale reflected artists’ wider concern with global economic and social crises, centered on exploitative and precarious worlds of employment. Yet while art increasingly engages with human travail, work’s significance in itself is seldom addressed by critics. This anthology explicitly investigates work in relation to contemporary art, surveying artistic strategies that grapple with the complexities of being an art worker in the new economy, a postproducer, a collaborator, a fabricator, a striker, an ethical campaigner, or would-be transformer of labor from oppression to liberation.

Résumé:
The effects and meanings of destruction are central to the work of many of our most influential artists. Since the early 1960s, artists have employed destruction to creative ends. Here destruction changes from a negative state or passive condition to a highly productive category. The destructive subversion of media imagery aims to release us from its controlling effects. The self-destructing artwork extinguishes art’s fixity as arrested form and ushers in the ephemeral and contingent "open work." This anthology explores artworks that convey the threat of destruction an how they have disrupted the perceived integrity of built structures and institutions. Artistic acts of iconoclasm or risk to the self have raised consciousness of authoritarian oppression. More understated works explore the theme of destruction in armed conflict, media violence, and threats to the environment. These text make up the first collection to be focused systematically on destruction in modern and contemporary art.

And through it, she reveals Bliz-aard Ball Sale to be the backbone of a radical artistic oeuvre that transforms such notions as “art,” “commodity,” “performance,” and even “race” into categories that shift and dissolve, much like slowly melting snowballs.

Résumé:
In "Art Can Help", the internationally acclaimed American photographer Robert Adams offers over two dozen meditations on the purpose of art and the responsibility of the artist. In particular, Adams advocates art that evokes beauty without irony or sentimentality, art that “encourages us to gratitude and engagement, and is of both personal and civic consequence.” Following an introduction, the book begins with two short essays on the works of the American painter Edward Hopper, an artist venerated by Adams. The rest of this compilation contains texts—more than half of which have never before been published—that contemplate one or two works by an individual artist. The pictures discussed are by noted photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Emmet Gowin, Dorothea Lange, Abelardo Morell, Edward Ranney, Judith Joy Ross, John Szarkowski, and Garry Winogrand. Several essays summon the words of literary figures, including Virginia Woolf and Czeslaw Milosz. Adams’s voice is at once intimate and accessible, and is imbued with the accumulated wisdom of a long career devoted to making and viewing art. This eloquent and moving book champions art that fights against disillusionment and despair.

Résumé:
If, as Walter Benjamin claimed, "it is the function of artistic form […] to make historical content into a philosophical truth” then it is the function of criticism to recover and to complete that truth. Contemporary art makes this work more difficult than ever. Today’s art is a point of condensation for a vast array of social and historical forces, economic and political forms, and technologies of image production. Contemporary art, Osborne maintains, expresses this condition through its distinctively postconceptual form. These essays—extending the scope and arguments of Osborne’s Anywhere or Not At All: Philosophy of Contemporary Art—move from a philosophical consideration of the changing temporal conditions of capitalist modernity, via problems of formalism, the politics of art and the changing shape of art institutions, to interpretation and analysis of particular works by Akram Zaatari, Xavier Le Roy and Ilya Kabakov, and the postconceptual situation of a crisis-ridden New Music.
