Oxbow Books Representations and Communications: Creating an
Book SynopsisIn this volume, which is the outcome of the four-year long collaboration project SARA (Scandinavian and Atlantic Rock Art) between the archaeology department at University of Gothenburg and the Laboratory of Heritage of Spanish National Research Council, nine papers summarize new excavation and survey results, advanced studies of iconography and intriguing landscape studies. It addresses topics such as human activities in the vicinity and surroundings of rock-art panels, movement and communication, ritual and symbolism, and finally representations and constructions of landscapes. The book is a sophisticated study of the rock art of two major regions of prehistoric Europe, but one with implications for research over a much wider area. It is wide-ranging, topical and will no doubt also be controversial. Contributors include Per Nilsson, Manuel Santos Estévez, Yolanda Seoane Veiga, Johan Ling, Åsa C. Fredell, Marco García Quintela, Kristian Kristiansen, Lasse Bengtsson and Felipe Criado Boado.Trade Review'an interesting and stimulating book for any researcher working on rock art in general and Bronze Age Europe in particular. After all, it is a vivid expression of the plurality of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches that exist and are being applied to gain knowledge about past societies using their rock art as a point of departure.' -- European Journal of Archaeology European Journal of ArchaeologyTable of Contents1.

Afterall Publishing Hanne Darboven: Cultural History 1880–1983
Book SynopsisAn illustrated study of Hanne Darboven''s masterwork, the massive Kulturgeschichte 1880-1983 (Cultural History 1880-1983).Hanne Darboven''s Kulturgeschichte 1880-1983 (Cultural History 1880-1983) (1980-1983) is an overwhelming and encyclopedic installation consisting of 1,590 works on paper and 19 sculptural objects. The work weaves together cultural, social, and historical references with autobiographical documents, postcards, pinups of film and rock stars, documentary references to the first and second world wars, geometric diagrams for textile weaving, a sampling of New York doorways, illustrated covers from news magazines, the contents of an exhibition catalogue devoted to postwar European and American art, a kitschy literary calendar, and extracts from some of Darboven''s earlier works. The panels are sequenced and grouped, with the groups then juxtaposed in arrangements that often seem little more than chance associations. In his illustrated walk through Darboven''s massive work, Dan Adler explores its visual and aesthetic complexities and considers the work in relation to various projects undertaken by European artists in the 1960s?including Gerhard Richter''s ongoing Atlas. The work is now permanently installed at Dia: Beacon.

Book Synopsis"Cold Eye" is a collaboration between an artist and a poet to examine the creative process. The work yokes ten images with ten poems and in so doing one explores the other: text uses apposition to excavate image and its genesis, and image illuminates text and its content. Image and text share a sense of doubt which permeates the work and its subjects. The drive to present a clear, cold view of them is always paramount.

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd Young Poland: The Polish Arts and Crafts
Book SynopsisYoung Poland: The Polish Arts and Crafts Movement, 1890–1918 is the first book in any language to explore the Young Poland (Młoda Polska) period in the context of the international Arts and Crafts movements.The Young Poland movement emerged in the 1890s in response to the country’s non-existence for almost a century. It embraced an unprecedented flourishing of applied arts and the revival of crafts, drawing inspiration from nature, history, peasant traditions and craftsmanship to convey patriotic values.The book argues that Young Poland shared fundamental parallels with the British Arts and Crafts Movement, and that it was specifically this Arts and Crafts ethos that fuelled the movement’s patriotic ideology and the nation’s quest to regain Polish independence.The lavishly illustrated publication charts the rich history of the artists, designers and craftspeople whose schemes came to define Young Poland, including over 250 illustrations of ceramics, furniture, textiles, paper cuttings, wood carvings, tableware, stained glass, book arts, children’s toys and Christmas decorations, as well as domestic, church and civic interior decoration schemes.The book is the culmination of an international research project co-financed by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage as part of the ‘Inspiring Culture' Programme. It is a collaboration between Lund Humphries, the William Morris Gallery, the National Museum in Kraków and the Polish Cultural Institute, London.Trade ReviewFeatured on the Financial Times’s list of ‘Best new art books for autumn’, 2020'The spirit of Young Poland deserves the attention this book gives' - Art Quarterly magazine"The book is well-researched and beautifully illustrated. With such diverse work within a single movement, the illustrations take on particular importance. It provides a helpful overview of the movement, its key people, places and ideas. Then, a series of seven studies of objects and crafts practices provides more in-depth perspectives." - Studio International'Having presented a comprehensive overview of the ethos of Young Poland along with an account of its main protagonists, in the second half of the catalogue the editors provide an extensive visual display of the artefacts and designs produced by members of this movement... Taken together, these treasures along with the catalogue essays which provide an insightful overview of how they came to be made, serve to show how protean and culturally vital the Young Poland movement was.' – Pre-Raphaelite ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Preface: Young Poland and the Search for a National Style; Editors’ Introduction: Young Poland and the Arts and Crafts Movement, 1890–1918 – A New Perspective; PART 1: The Making of the Polish Arts and Crafts Movement: Key People, Places and Ideas; 1.

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd The Pottery of John Ward
Book SynopsisJohn Ward (b.1938) has a longstanding reputation as one of Britain's foremost potters, and yet very little has been written about his manifold achievements. Authoritative and enlightening, this will be the first account of Ward’s life and work, tracing the evolution of his ideas and his practice as a potter and placing them critically within the history of British Studio Pottery. The qualities of Ward’s best pots are hard to define. As the late Emmanuel Cooper noted as long ago as 1996: “...the apparently contrasting qualities of drama and quiet reflection, is one of the most engaging aspects of his work. This sense of balance, of the tension between pushing and pulling, light and shade, movement and rest, makes Ward’s work distinctive, distinguished and intriguing.” Setting out to explore and define those distinctions - expressing what makes Ward’s pots compelling and historically significant - the potter's important artistic contribution will finally be expressed. Trade Review'John Ward is a unique figure in the history of studio ceramics. This is the long awaited, insightful and beautiful monograph that illuminates the range and depth of his art. It will bring an even greater audience to appreciate his remarkable subtlety and strength.' – Edmund de Waal'Carefully and thoughtfully produced, this insightful monograph is a must-have for admirers of Ward’s work but a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in contemporary studio ceramics.' – Helen Ritchie, Decorative Arts Society

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd The Political Cartoons of Derso and Kelen: Years
Book SynopsisAlois Derso (1888-1964) and Emery Kelen (1896-1978) were remarkable cartoonists who became internationally renowned, particularly for their depictions in the 1920s of efforts to build a better world following the establishment of the League of Nations; of the rise of fascism in the thirties; and of the world cooperation through the United Nations that emerged in the forties. Their sequence of cartoons, imbued with humour, wit, gentle satire, artistry and vision, captures the Zeitgeist of a period of history that resonates today. Surprisingly, no comprehensive account of their work and lives has been published before. The authors analyse and discuss the extraordinary political insights revealed in the cartoons, which contribute to our understanding of those years. Drawing on original research, this overdue book delves into all aspects of Derso and Kelen’s careers, including the unusual, if not unique, technical nature of their artistic collaboration and Kelen’s additional gifts as a writer. It will inform the non-expert of the history of the time and the often overlooked role of cartoons as historical evidence. So memorable and informative are the images, it will also be a useful supplement to the literature on modern history, international relations and art.Table of ContentsFrontispiece; Preface; 1 Introducing Derso and Kelen; 2 ‘Political Puppet Show in Lausanne’; 3 Keepers of the Peace and Purse; 4 From Adam and Eve to the Promised Land; 5 But will there be peace in our time?; 6 War Again; 7 ‘Uncannily like the first’, the United Nations is born.; 8 Appreciation; Endpiece; Appendix 1.

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd Helen Clapcott
Book SynopsisIn a painting career spanning half a century, Helen Clapcott (b.1952) has remained consistent in both her choice of subject and her disregard of the art establishment's playbook. In this, the first major monograph on the artist, Andrew Lambirth charts Clapcott's unconventional path and presents a painter with an uncompromising vision. Clapcott is a painter pre-occupied with the destruction and regeneration of the landscape of her native North-West England. Depictions of the mutation and evolution of what was once Stockport's industrial valley, now a commuter corridor, are expressions of our developing environments and the growth of vernacular townscapes. Based on numerous conversations with the artist, and an in-depth understanding of Clapcott's oeuvre, Andrew Lambirth's text provides a lively account of the artist's background, training and working methods, including her mastery of tempera. Above all, this is a study of an artist's very personal relationship with the evolving la

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC New York New Wave: The Legacy of Feminist Art in
Book SynopsisNew York is a centre of creative production for an exciting, emerging generation of women artists. Their work investigates themes such as the body as medium and subject matter; the deconstruction of the existing patriarchal order of the art world; the appropriation of earlier art historical references; and the use of so-called abject and everyday materials. New York New Wave investigates the relevance of earlier feminist practice for this 'new' generation, asking: Does gender difference still play a role in today's practice? How can younger women artists embrace a radical political ideology and yet remain market friendly? How far have these artists diverged from the established feminist "tradition"? Artists discussed include: Firelei Baez, EV Day, Ruby LaToya Fraser, Diana Al-Hadid, K8 Hardy, Valerie Hegarty, Cindy Hinant, Dawn Kasper, Anya Kielar, Liz Magic Laser, Narcissister, Alix Pearlstein, Aurel Schmidt, AL Steiner and W.A.G.E.Trade Review'For a clear, organized book about the current generation of young feminist artists and what they owe to the previous generations you can’t do better than Kathy Battista’s new book. Thoroughly researched and well written, this book will be referred to for years.' -- Betty Tompkins, artist'An important book … it goes beyond a mere scholarly examination of feminist art, but accounts for a key feminist text itself.' -- Anja Foerschner, G12HUB Gallery, Belgrade'Battista’s unique understanding of an exciting new wave of feminist artists in New York dissects the umbilical cord connecting them to radical practitioners of the 1970s.' -- Catherine James, Lecturer in Academic Practice, University of the Arts LondonI recommend reading this carefully researched new book which chronicles both classic and the emerging new generation of feminist artists.

Merrell Publishers Ltd Sensation: The Madonna, the Mayor, the Media and
Book SynopsisDeath and bomb threats over an art exhibition! A major battle with the mayor of New York City and the New York Times! Looking back, Arnold Lehman, director of the Brooklyn Museum, and his colleagues were not prepared for what was to happen. No one could have anticipated that SENSATION: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection would become the biggest art story in the history of art history. It has taken him two decades to fully absorb and clearly reflect on what happened at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999-2000. The intense controversy swept the exhibition, the museum, and Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary painting to international attention for six months. While 175,000 people saw the exhibition and millions read and heard about it daily, they never knew of the threats and challenges that kept the museum staff awake at night. Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who never saw the painting, focused his rage at The Holy Virgin Mary; rescinded the museum's municipal funding to force it to close the exhibition; and attempted to evict it from its hundred-year-old landmark. The city's most conservative media and ultra-religious groups inflamed the conflict. SENSATION, selected from controversial collector Charles Saatchi's contemporary British art collection, was first shown at London's Royal Academy in 1997, to an outcry over the portrait of child murderer Myra Hindley. Its opening at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999 drew tabloid headlines such as B'klyn gallery of horror Gruesome museum show, and Butchered animals, a dung-smeared Mary and giant genitalia; The New York Times accused the museum of wrongdoing in high-profile but often false and inaccurate investigative reports, most dismissed earlier by the court. In a story as gripping as a fictional thriller, the mayor and city eventually settled with the museum, awarding it a permanent injunction, the restoration of city money, and substantial funds for its new entrance. AUTHOR: Arnold Lehman is Director Emeritus of the Brooklyn Museum and Senior Advisor at Phillips auction house.

Reaktion Books Eyewitnessing: The Uses of Images as Historical
Book SynopsisEyewitnessing evaluates the place of images among other kinds of historical evidence. By reviewing the many varieties of images by region, period and medium, and looking at the pragmatic uses of images (e.g. the Bayeux Tapestry, an engraving of a printing press, a reconstruction of a building), Peter Burke sheds light on our assumption that these practical uses are 'reflections' of specific historical meanings and influences. He also shows how this assumption can be problematic. Traditional art historians have depended on two types of analysis when dealing with visual imagery, iconography and iconology. Burke describes and evaluates these approaches, concluding that they are insufficient. Focusing instead on the medium as message and on the social contexts and uses of images, he discusses both religious images and political ones, also looking at images in advertising and as commodities. Ultimately, Burke's purpose is to show how iconographic and post-iconographic methods - psychoanalysis, semiotics, viewer response, deconstruction - are both useful and problematic to contemporary historians.Trade ReviewProvides us with a compendium ... which continues the long process of restoring the balance between written documentation and optical representation as carriers of historical information ... a thoroughly engrossing explication of how fine art, graphics, photographs, film and other media can be used to make sense of lives lived out in other times Tate Magazine Well-informed and fair-minded, and it prompts one to ponder -- Michael Baxandall English Historical Review

Reaktion Books Art and Democracy in Post-Communist Europe
Book SynopsisThe conclusion of the Cold War in 1989 signalled the beginning of a new era in Eastern Europe, and this widespread change was felt no less strongly in the world of art. In Art and Democracy in Post-Communist Europe, Piotr Piotrowski examines the art made after 1989 in Eastern Europe in light of the profound political, social, economic and cultural transformations in the region. As well as discussing these transformations, Piotrowski describes the changing nature of artworks themselves - from work moulded by the cultural imperatives of the communist state, used as a tool of political propaganda, to autonomous work protesting against and resisting the ruling powers. He describes the rich tradition of anarchistic motifs and themes of protest in Eastern European art, and the emergence of a utopian vision in more recent times. The discussion includes themes of communist memory; the critique of nationalism; issues of gender after 1989; and the representation of historic trauma in contemporary museology, going on to discuss the recent foundation of museums of contemporary art in Bucharest, Tallinn and Warsaw. The function of art in post-communist Europe is assessed, and above all its restrictions and hidden censorship mechanisms. Throughout the book the author provides close readings of many artists, some new to a Western audience, such as Ilya Kabakov and Krzysztof Wodiczko, and Marina Abramovic's work responding to the atrocities of the Balkans. This cogent investigation of the artistic reorientation of the former Eastern Bloc breaks important new ground, and fills a major gap in contemporary artistic and political discourse.

Auckland University Press Te Mauri Pakeaka paperback
Book SynopsisThis unusual and important book is in the first place a richly illustrated history of an innovative educational programme, developed by Arnold Wilson, that began in the 1970s in Northland and which brought schools and communities onto the marae and involved them in making art. Essentially students were encouraged to tell traditional stories through dancing, singing, drama, carving, painting. The programme was hugely successful both as art education and as away of developing self esteem and a sense of identity and shared values. But it was abolished in 1988 with the changes encompassed in Tomorrow's Schools. The book is therefore also intended to open up discussion for the future about Maori education, the teaching of art, race relations, indeed a whole range of major contemporary issues. It is well written and moving and though not a conventional academic study it will work brilliantly in achieving its purpose.

Auckland University Press Frances Hodgkins: European Journeys
Book SynopsisNew Zealand-born Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) arrived in London in 1901 and, by the 1920s, had become a leading British modernist, exhibiting frequently with avant-garde artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. Published to coincide with a touring exhibition of her work initiated by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, this book explores Hodgkins as a traveller across cultures and landscapes - teaching and discovering the cubists in Paris, absorbing the landscape and light of Ibiza and Morocco, and exhibiting with the progressive Seven & Five Society in London. Complete with a rich visual chronology of the artist's encounters abroad, alongside over one hundred of Hodgkins' key paintings and drawings, the book is an illuminating journey that moves us from place to place through the writings of a number of distinguished national and international art historians, curators and critics: Frances Spalding (University of Cambridge, England), Alexa Johnston (Auckland-based writer and curator), Elena Taylor (University of New South Wales, Australia), Antoni Ribas Tur (Ara newspaper, Spain), and Julia Waite, Sarah Hillary, Mary Kisler and Catherine Hammond (Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, New Zealand).
