Résumé:
Cet ouvrage accompagne la treizième exposition temporaire du Louvre Abu Dhabi, en collaboration avec le Louvre Paris. De la fabrication à la diffusion en passant par les progrès techniques, il illustre les nombreuses caractéristiques de ce matériau si familier qui s'efface parfois de nos usages au profit du numérique aujourd'hui ancré dans tous les aspects de nos vies quotidiennes. En explorant les différentes plantes qui en sont à l'origine, tout comme les nombreuses essences dont émane sa fabrication, la diversité des œuvres d'art présentées invite à découvrir les multiples utilisations du papier comme vecteur de créativité, d'idées et d'échanges à travers les siècles et les cultures. Incluant des œuvres des collections françaises, en particulier des œuvres du musée du Louvre, du musée Guimet, de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, du Centre Georges-Pompidou, ce catalogue est aussi l'occasion de mettre en lumière des artistes contemporains locaux ainsi que des créations contemporaines internationales.

Résumé:
The photobook contextualizes arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much of an effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and the texts. Bettina Lockemann provides an approach to the medium from a(...)

Résumé:
The photobook contextualizes arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much of an effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and the texts. Bettina Lockemann provides an approach to the medium from a research perspective: considering the photobook as an independent subject of art theories, her phenomenological discussion complements methodological lines of thought. An important contribution to the photobook as an independent field of research, Lockemann elaborates precise terms for analyzing this medium. Through a practice-based examination of contemporary photobooks, this guide emphasizes the status of the photobook as an artwork in its own right.

Résumé:
Anselmo, Boetti, Calzolari, Fabro, Kounellis, Mario and Marisa Merz, Paolini, Pascali, Penone, Pistoletto, Prini, Zorio: the protagonists of the most important italian artistic movement in the second half of the XX century are introduced not by their “traditional” works, but from a particular point of view : their publishing production. These artists’ books were conceived, built and re-invented as works of art themselves, and some of them had a very important role in defining the aims and beliefs of the whole artistic movement. A detailed introduction analyses “diagonally” people, times, places and texts involved in the Arte Povera movement and their mutual relationships; then, each artist is individually presented through his books and one-person exhibitions, along with several photos of the mentioned documents. The book is completed by an accurate chronology of the collective exhibitions (1966-2005) and a detailed bibliography of the books, essays and articles about the "poveristi” (1966-2006).

Résumé:
Presents an overview of the hundred-year old Dutch private press-movement: a relatively small, yet exceedingly dynamic, creative and influential part of the Dutch book culture. Passionate booklovers were and still are producing extraordinary editions at home. These books appeared in limited editions, printed on extraordinary paper, often with specially created fonts and designed with care. This illustrated survey starts with the pioneers J.C. Bloem, J. Greshoff, P.N. van Eyck and J.F. van Royen – continues via internationally known artists such as S.H. de Roos and H.N. Werkman to the pragmatic printers who now operate in the margins of the book trade. Edited by Paul van Capelleveen en Clemens de Wolf.
