Random House USA Inc Poems About Sculpture
Book SynopsisPoems About Sculpture is a unique anthology of poems from around the world and across the ages about our most enduring art form. Sculpture has the longest memory of the arts: from the Paleolithic era, we find stone carvings and clay figures embedded with human longing. And poets have long been fascinated by the idea of eternity embodied by the monumental temples and fragmented statues of ancient civilizations. From Keats’s Grecian urn and Shelley’s “Ozymandias” to contemporary verse about Maya Lin’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Janet Echelman’s wind-borne hovering nets, the pieces in this collection convert the physical materials of the plastic arts—clay, wood, glass, marble, granite, bronze, and more—into lapidary lines of poetry. Whether the sculptures celebrated here commemorate love or war, objects or apparitions, forms human or divine, they have called forth evocative responses from a wide range of poets, including Homer, Ovid, Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Rilke, Dickinson, Yeats, Auden, and Plath. A compendium of dazzling examples of one art form reflecting on another, Poems About Sculpture is a treat for art lovers of all kinds.

University of Minnesota Press Hard Bodies: Contemporary Japanese Lacquer
Book SynopsisSince the Neolithic era, artisans in East Asia have coated bowls, cups, boxes, baskets, and other utilitarian objects with a natural polymer distilled from the sap of the Rhus verniciflua, known as the lacquer tree. Lacquerware was, and still is, prized for its sheen—a lustrous beauty that artists learned to accentuate over the centuries with inlaid gold, silver, mother-of-pearl, and other precious materials.This tradition has undergone challenges over the past thirty years. A small but enterprising circle of lacquer artists has pushed the medium in entirely new and dynamic directions by creating large-scale sculptures—works that are both conceptually innovative and superbly exploitive of lacquer’s natural virtues. Featuring thirty works by sixteen artists, this handsome publication details the first-ever exhibition of contemporary Japanese lacquer sculpture in the United States, shown at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Reaktion Books Vera Röhm
Book SynopsisVera Rohm's name comes up in discussions of contemporary constructive art as an unorthodox example of the sculptural approach. Since the very beginning of her artistic career she has been concerned with a repertoire of elementary geometrical shapes. Her approach plays upon different kinds of distortion: incisions, cross-sections, mutilation and restoration/reconstruction; which bring about an increased richness of form and complexity, and challenge the viewer's imagination. Metamorphosis of materials in Integrations, multiplication of shapes in Shadow Objects, not to forget her photographs of the Jaipur Observatory - all of these offer unexpected angles on the real world. When her works include written words - as is the case of her cube-series bearing the inscription 'Night Is The Shadow of The Earth' - this can be associated with Concrete Poetry. Her work in general also falls within the tradition of Constructivism, although there is an almost temperamental inclination to geometrical form, which is always manifest in the rich variations of shape that inform her sculptures. This first comprehensive presentation of the artist's work in the English language is accompanied by essays by the renowned poet and critic Eugen Gomringer and the art historian Stephen Bann.

Krannert Art Museum,US The Strange Life of Objects: The Art of Annette
Book SynopsisThe Strange Life of Objects provides the first critical overview of Annette Lemieux's dynamic and varied career. She first garnered attention on the newly global art scene of the 1980s. Since that time she has continued to produce work that grows in depth and resonance, proving herself an artist of lasting significance. Lemieux's early use of traditional techniques - painting, printing, casting, and photography - expanded to include found materials laden with cultural meanings and evocative of personal memories. Whatever the material, Lemieux masters and invents techniques and processes that correlate with states of mind. Major themes she returns to within our shifting political and cultural climate include the horror of war, the nature of time, the elusive truth of memory, the nature of ideas and art-making, and the relationship between personal experience and cultural history. A teacher and prolific artist, she lives and works in Boston where she is professor of the practice in studio arts at Harvard University.Trade Review"A thoughtful retrospective, very highly recommended." * The Midwest Book Review *

Smithsonian Books Beyond Grief: Sculpture and Wonder in the Gilded
Book SynopsisBeyond Grief explores high-style funerary sculptures and their functions during the turn of the twentieth century. Many scholars have overlooked these monuments, viewing them as mere oddities, a part of an individual artist's oeuvre, a detail of a patron's biography, or local civic cemetery history. This volume considers them in terms of their wider context and shifting use as objects of consolation, power, and multisensory mystery and wonder. Art historian Cynthia Mills traces the stories of four families who memorialized their losses through sculpture. Henry Brooks Adams commissioned perhaps the most famous American cemetery monument of all, the Adams Memorial in Washington, D.C. The bronze figure was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who became the nation’s foremost sculptor. Another innovative bronze monument featured the Milmore brothers, who had worked together as sculptors in the Boston area. Artist Frank Duveneck composed a recumbent portrait of his wife following her early death in Paris; in Rome, the aging William Wetmore Story made an angel of grief his last work as a symbol of his sheer desolation after his wife’s death. Through these incredible monuments Mills explores questions like: Why did new forms--many of them now produced in bronze rather than stone and placed in architectural settings--arise just at this time, and how did they mesh or clash with the sensibilities of their era? Why was there a gap between the intention of these elite patrons and artists, whose lives were often intertwined in a closed circle, and the way some public audiences received them through the filter of the mass media? Beyond Grief traces the monuments' creation, influence, and reception in the hope that they will help us to understand the larger story: how survivors used cemetery memorials as a vehicle to mourn and remember, and how their meaning changed over time.Trade ReviewCHOICE In this posthumously published work, Mills brings together a variety of threads to examine the nature of mourning and monumentality in the US from the 1880s to WW I. She focuses on several elite Eastern families, such as Henry and Clover Adams and William and Emelyn Story and their social networks in the US and abroad, to provide a context for the dissemination of "high-style" art in cemetery memorials during the period. The family tragedies of the deaths of spouses are background for the discussion of memorial art. Focusing on the work of such sculptors as Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Daniel Chester French, and Frank Duveneck, the author delves into their relationships to these families, their reception in both memorial art and high art, and subsequent influence and imitation. Mills is especially good at drawing out the perceived tensions between everyday memorialization and the work of these artists in the social environment of the period, as well as the contrasts between the intentions of the families and public reception of the memorials. Excellent photographs and a beautiful layout aid in the presentation. For collections in art history and history. --J. C. Wanser, Hiram College Summing Up: Recommended.

Book SynopsisDreidimensionale Bildwerke werden nicht nur als gestaltete Volumina, sondern auch als gestaltete Oberflächen wahrgenommen. Die superficies das gemachte äußere, aber auch die Erscheinung gibt Auskunft über Wertvorstellungen, künstlerische Konzepte, wandelnde ästhetische Ansprüche und Erhaltungszustände. Sie kann das Ausgangsmaterial betonen und die Spuren der Bearbeitung sichtbar machen oder die Auskunft über Materialien und Produktionsprozesse verweigern. Indem sie einfallendes Licht reflektiert und auf Wärme oder die Zusammensetzung der Luft reagiert, wirkt sie als eine Art Membran, über die das Bildwerk Verbindung zu seiner unmittelbaren Umgebung aufnimmt. Damit beeinflusst sie die Wirkung der plastischen Körper und lässt diese lebendig oder auch besonders artifiziell erscheinen. Der vorliegende Band geht dem Umgang mit der Oberfläche anhand ausgewählter Werke des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit nach. Die Beiträge stellen unterschiedliche gestalterische Konzepte vor und fragen mit Blick auf Material, Technik, Funktion und kunsttheoretischer Diskussion nach der Rolle der superficies in der Bildhauerei.

Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Mask: In Present-Day Art
Book SynopsisMasks evoke scenes of carnival or African tribal rites, we may be thinking of death masks of famous people, theatre and fashion, cosplay, disguise, and of protection. They represent some of the most ancient and most controversial objects of our cultural history. Today's artists look beyond the mere object, they are interested also in the social, cultural, and political meanings of masks. This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Aargauer Kunsthaus Aarau in fall 2019, explores their appearances in contemporary art. Artists at all times have been attracted by masks and their symbolism. Through works by distinguished Swiss and international artists and concise texts the book demonstrates manifold approaches to the topic of masks. With contributions by Yasmin Afschar, Daniel Berndt, Hendrik Bundtge, Emily Butler, Wendy Chang, Michelle Cotton, Peter Fischer, Claire Hoffmann, Olivier Kaeser, Melitta Kliege, Susanna Koeberle, Elsy Lahner, Leo Lencses, Bettina Muhlebach, Lena Nievers, Lucia Rey, Hermant Sareen, Joerg Scheller, Madeleine Schuppli, Angela Strecken, and Thomas D.
