Press Forlaget Magne Furuholmen - Imprints
Book SynopsisOslo’s Fornebuporten business and residential district boasts its own sculpture park, Imprints, featuring ceramic works by the Norwegian artist and musician Magne Furuholmen (born 1962). Furuholmen has created totemic sculptures of glazed and unglazed ceramic on an incredible scale—the largest is taller than 19 feet high—and arranged them around the site, placing some in freestanding positions and installing some in granite pools. Playing with and against the sleek modern architecture of the surrounding Fornebuporten complex, the artist chose self-consciously archaic forms (like amphorae, columns and sarcophagi) and traditional materials and techniques in developing “Imprints.” The sculptures are covered with words, letters and shapes punched or pushed directly into the material surfaces. Imprints documents this amazing project.

Museum Tusculanum Press Triumph of Art at Thorvaldsens Museum: 'Løve' in
Book SynopsisThorvaldsens Museum opened in central Copenhagen in 1848. The great Danish sculptor had arranged to donate his own works of art and his collections to the city, provided that the museum be built for the purpose; it would become his tomb. The Museum was decorated with a colourful frieze depicting the triumphant arrival of Thorvaldsen and his magnificent works of art in Copenhagen from the artist's studio in Rome. The dramatic frieze, designed by the Danish artist Jørgen Sonne, made a big splash at the time, and has captivated visitors ever since. In this learned and lively study of the Museum and its frieze, John Henderson shows how the frieze takes inspiration from classical models, including the Parthenon and Roman monuments, in delivering the finest neoclassical art, and its cosmopolitan European culture, to the attention of a newly modernized public. This beautifully illustrated book breaks new ground in Danish History of Art, bringing an important and unique Danish work of art to an international audience with the blessing of the Museum.Trade Review"In fact, the book, at just 120 pages. would make an excellent introductory text for undergraduate students of either ancient or modern sculpture; the accounts of Thorvaldsen's sculptures in the course of their appearence in the frieze, in Chapter Two, make a good introduction to the sculptor's work, and Chapters One and Three include useful accounts of a number of important ancient sculptures that relate in some way to the imagery of the frieze. More importantly, the book presents a rich and nuanced example of reception study, a critical method that has gained ground rapidly in Classics in recent years ... Henderson's study of the Copenhagen frieze thus takes its place as one of the most thoughtful and detailed reception studies yet to appear in art history ..." - Elizabeth Prettejohn, Art History Vol. 29, Nov 2006"H.'s [John Henderson's] approach is, as ever, a playful one. ... Essentially this book allows us to visit the museum and walk around the frieze with H. as a companion, constantly pointing things out, sharing juicy titbits and making bad jokes. This proves to be enormous fun. More importantly, what we learn goes beyond this one artwork and we take away new insights into museums, triumphal parades and the way the modern world has used antiquity in the construction of national identity." - Katharine Edgar, Journal of Hellenic Studies 128, 2008Table of ContentsIntroduction; Survey of Literature; History and Characteristics of the Jesus Army; History and Characteristics of the FWBO; Social Composition of the Jesus Army and the FWBO; Attitudes and Values of Members; Altruism in the Jesus Army and the FWBO; Motivation for Altruism; Development of Altruism; Conclusions.

Louisiana Pipilotti Rist: Open My Glade
Book SynopsisOver the last three decades, Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist (born 1962) has been an original and impactful voice on the contemporary art scene with her sensuous, colorful and norm-subverting audio and video universes (the artist's first name is itself a nod to Swedish author Astrid Lindgren's rebellious, freethinking heroine Pippi Longstocking). With projections on ceilings, walls and floors, Rist liberates the moving image from the screen through installations and new electronic formats. While body and gender are central themes in her early pieces, the main focus of her recent work has shifted towards nature. Rist's art is sensually playful and compelling, while also diving deeply into existential abysses. Superbly produced with a die-cut cover, this book is published in connection with Rist's midcareer survey exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and comprises texts by some of the foremost specialists on Rist's work.

Louisiana Alex Da Corte: Mr. Remember
Book Synopsis“A great and unlikely success story, Da Corte creates funny and therapeutic works in the hope of easing the ‘exquisite pain’ of modern life.” –New York Times This comprehensive monograph celebrates the acclaimed Philadelphia-based installation artist Alex Da Corte (born 1980), famed for his show-stopping 2021 Roof Garden Commission for the Met, As Long as the Sun Lasts. Da Corte’s Day-Glo works are distinctly rooted in traditional American arts and culture—tellingly, as a teenager he planned to become an animator for Disney—and the artist himself often appears in his films, impersonating iconic figures such as Popeye, the Statue of Liberty, Fred Rogers or Eminem. Throughout, the pop flavor of Da Corte’s aesthetics is mixed with a satirical existentialism: his works often combine sadness and effortless play, connecting our sense of self with consumer culture—from the films we watch to the objects we buy, give and throw away. Published for a major retrospective at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, and documenting all of his major works to date, Alex Da Corte: Mr. Remember matches the artist’s high-production, ultra-chromatic sensibility in its gorgeous production, with a three-color cloth binding, silver foil on the cover, a paperback volume sewn into the book and an abundance of riotous color throughout, with more than 100 pages of installation views from previous exhibitions.

Marsilio Damien Hirst: Galleria Borghese
Book SynopsisDamien Hirst enters into creative conversation with the many masterpieces of the Galleria Borghese In an extraordinary cultural undertaking, British artist Damien Hirst (born 1965) has launched an intense and unfiltered interaction with the works of Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, Bernini, Canova and others in Italy’s Galleria Borghese. An unparalleled and controversial celebrity of the contemporary art world, Hirst’s work is perfectly suited to be displayed in relation to the colors and materials found in the Galleria Borghese. His sculptures, made of fine materials such as bronze, Carrara marble or seductive malachite, have been put on display in rooms of the museum that house masterpieces of the modern era such as the statuary groups of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Antonio Canova’s Paolina Borghese. The resulting effect is one of surprising harmony: the Five Grecian Nudes appear natural next to Canova’s sculpture and the primitive appearance of the Lion Women of Asit Mayor is in perfect chromatic accord with the floors of the Galleria. Hirst’s new series of Colour Space paintings offers the same sense of continuity as the flow of the works hanging in the museum’s picture gallery. This comprehensive vision of the past and the present is fostered by the proximity of antique painting and contemporary painting, without frames to separate them, and without elements of signage to interrupt this immersion.

Marsilio Anish Kapoor Untrue Unreal
Book SynopsisRepresentative sculptural works that probe the limits and potential of our relationship with the worldThis monograph features 30 fundamental works by acclaimed Indian artist Anish Kapoor (born 1954) from the 1980s to the present day, spanning practically the entirety of his long and distinguished career.One of the most notable features of Kapoor's works is the way they transcend their materiality. Pigment, stone, steel, wax and silicone are manipulatedcarved, polished, saturated and moldedto the point of a dissolution of boundaries between the plastic and the immaterial. Color in Kapoor's hands becomes an immersive phenomenon, containing its own spatial and illusive volume. Kapoor seeks estrangement, the erasure of ordinary references, in order to undermine the way that we are accustomed to see things and set them in a completely different perspective, creating works that act as catalysts of energy. This volume reveals the genesis of his artistic practice

Mw Editions Daniel Brush Thinking about Monet
Book SynopsisSculptures-as-meditations: Brush rearticulates Monet's magnificent lightwork in palm-sized objectsEarly in life, American painter, sculptor and jeweler Daniel Brush (born 1947) discounted Monet's work wholesalethat is, until the pivotal day he saw an 8-by-10 transparency that a collector and friend was considering acquiring. This encounter sparked an obsession with the light Monet so masterfully captured through oil paint. Thinking about Monet contains 60 of the more than 100 steel sculptures Brush createdall of which are meditations on light. The artist hand-carved the same steel for all of his palm-sized pieces, but each one articulates distinct properties of color and light. Mesmerizing in the intricacy and daring of their fabrication, Brush''s objects bear comparison with the work of historical masters.This small, jewel-like book is covered in printed silk cloth, and all the sculptures are reproduced at their original size.
