Résumé:
In 1991, German-born photographer Vera Lutter (born 1960) moved to New York. Inspired by the city’s architecture and night-time luminescence, Lutter took the extraordinary step of transforming her apartment into a pinhole camera, and, in a process that could last weeks or even months, exposed images directly onto wall-size sheets of photographic paper. Intent upon minimal interference with this process, Lutter refrained from duplicating the images, and used the negative as the final work. New York has remained the recurrent subject of Lutter’s (literally) unique photographs, but over the past two decades, she has applied the process to other locations and styles of architecture around the world, documenting shipyards, airports and abandoned factories. This volume offers the first thorough overview of Lutter’s architectural photography, representing her full range of motifs and subjects in superb duotone. Also included is an account of her first film and sound installation.

Résumé:
For four years Justin Kimball (born 1961) accompanied his brother Doug, an auctioneer, into the houses of the recently deceased or dispersed. While Doug cleared these spaces of items for potential resale, Justin sought within them the evidence of an individual's life. Photographing "the smallest objects (a note, a box of hair pins, a stain on a pillow)," he reimagines their existence and relationship to their absent owners. "I use the camera's descriptive power and the photographic illusion of truth to create the narrative and inspire feelings about its subject," he writes of these images. "The resulting photographs are my perception of what happened in those spaces: who lived there? What was hidden and what was seen?" Kimball's color photographs explore the minutiae of everyday life and contemplate our brief and humble legacies before they are cleaned up and cast to the wind.

Résumé:
In this intriguing, illustrated volume, Canadian writer and birder Gibson employs poems, folk tales, parables, legends, and extracts from the works of naturalists and others to explore humans' relationship with birds through the centuries. Some of the material— Peter Matthiessen's tribute to shorebirds, Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem about wild swans, Thomas Hardy's ode to a darkling thrush—reflect the joy many people feel on seeing or hearing a bird. But a number of the pieces, such as Robinson Jeffers's wrenching poem about a hurt hawk, Gabriel García Márquez's story involving sinister curlews and Kafka's threatening fantasy about a vulture, do not make the best bedtime reading. Numerous selections dwell on the human propensity for killing, exploitation and cruelty, as exemplified by a grisly passage describing the slaughter of a flock of terrified birds from Gibson's novel Perpetual Motion. As if to underscore his grim message, Gibson concludes his miscellany with a list of wildlife organizations to join if one is inclined to help avians in peril. The book contains more than 100 full-color images of birds depicted in bestiaries, folk art, ancient sculpture and the works of artists such as Audubon, Lansdowne and Catesby.

A comprehensive overview on the work of renowned London architect Tony Fretton (born 1945). After graduating from the reputable Architectural Association in 1982 Fretton opened his own architect's office. He attracted attention early on with the Lisson Gallery and the "Red House" (London). His spatial creations and their incorporation into the urban context are of subtle mastery. With his designs for the Camden Arts Centre, the Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in Denmark, London townhouse for the artist Anish Kapoor and the British embassy in Warsaw, Fretton has emerged as one of the most prominent contemporary architects.

Résumé:
Prior to 1966, if artists wanted to create works larger than their studios or metalworking abilities allowed, they had to turn to industrial manufacturers, who were often unable to accommodate the creative process of making art. Large Scale tells the story of Lippincott, Inc., which, from 1966 to 1994, put the tools of industrial fabrication in the hands of artists, allowing them to produce at a scale they had previously only dreamed of on paper. Lippincott worked with artists from the conception of a project to the completed sculpture, displaying pieces in the field adjoining the shop before installing them all over the country and the world. Drawing on the vast collection of images in the Lippincott archive, Large Scale presents more than three hundred photographs of these artists and their iconic works. *** An important lost chapter in the history of modern art is now available in paperback.

Résumé:
Bien que Richter se soit exprimé à maintes reprises par la parole et l'écrit, jusqu'à présent il s'est toujours montré réservé quant à la publication de ses textes. Hormis de nombreuses interviews, seuls quelques fragments de textes isolés ont été publiés ici et là. Outre ses notes et extraits de journal écrits au fil des mots, trouvera-t-on des essais, des lettres, prises de positions et déclarations, manifestes, entretiens, conversations et dialogues. Les notes écrites de Richter accompagnent l'acte de peindre, elles le mettent en question et subissent même son correctif. Au lieu d'un texte anticipatoire et explicite, apparaissent une pensée synchrone et une réflexion ultérieure, raisonnée au sens le plus littéral du terme, où le réfléchir sur soi-même est le prolongement du doute. Comme nul autre artiste contemporain, Richter s'interroge sur le possible et l'impossible, sur la fonction et l'autonomie de l'art actuel.

Résumé:
De pays et d'horizons différents, artistes, critiques, historiens de l'art, économistes et philosophes interrogent les entreprises-artistes. Véritable conjonction entre une forme entrepreneuriale et un artiste, elles surgissent des quatre coins du globe depuis les années 1960, en tant que « sociétés » ou bien « firmes » et sont portées par des artistes entrepreneurs. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de confronter des approches critiques sur une forme de questionnement et d'appropriation par les artistes du modèle de l'entreprise : son nom, son statut, sa labellisation, son image graphique, son mode de fonctionnement, son marketing ou encore sa production. Tout semble converger vers une remise en question profonde de la place que les artistes entendent prendre dans la société. Pourquoi et comment ont-ils investi ce domaine à priori hors du champ artistique ? L'apparition de ces « firmes », souvent qualifiées d'« entreprises critiques », est à mettre en regard de l'évolution de la société mondiale ; les artistes entrepreneurs veulent ainsi y répondre à leur manière en détournant les codes du monde entrepreneurial, en parodiant parfois même les stratégies à l'œuvre dans l'entreprise, voire en inventant de nouvelles formes d'autonomisation en rupture avec les modèles ayant cours dans le marché et le milieu de l'art.
