Birkhauser Visualisation of Evolution: molecule/calculus
Book SynopsisPost-genomics and molecular biology provided the basis for a collection of drawings and installations from 20 years of artistic practice and artistic perspective on an increasingly media-driven world of communication in which subtleties are gradually disappearing from an individual language. The generalised theory of evolution and extended synthesis in theoretical biology have both inspired the work of artist and scientist Petra Maitz until the present day. From these, Maitz has formed a comprehensive hypothesis of the chemical world change, showing visualisations of evolution in a cultural and scientific context in her drawings. She presents medical and biological scientists and their research seen through the eyes of an artist.

Birkhauser Karl Neubacher: Medienkünstler, 1926-1978 / Media
Book SynopsisKarl Neubacher worked primarily as a graphic designer. His posters, based on artistic concepts, are legendary. With his blending of elements drawn from commercial art, on the one hand, and conceptual and media art, on the other, he was able to generate creative fields of tension. His key means of expression were photography and film. Neubacher’s oeuvre is to be understood within the context of media art, and it is for this reason that it remains relevant today. The central preoccupation of Neubacher’s art was his own body, which he directly employed in his performance art, whilst also instrumentalising it as an image in its own right in various media. The book is published as a catalog to the big show at the Kunsthaus Graz and is also the first comprehensive monograph on the Austrian universal artist Karl Neubacher.Table of ContentsPeter Pakesch: Vorwort/Preface Günther Holler-Schuster: Karl Neubacher Medienkünstler/Media Artist, 1926-1978 Karl Neubacher: Briefe an die ÖVP (Österreichische Volkspartei)/Letters to the ÖVP (Austrian People's Party) Orhan Kipcak: Karl Neubacher, Bedeutungsingenieur/ Engineer of Meaning Horst Gerhard Haberl: Postings wider die Engstirnigkeit/ Postings against Narrow-mindedness Karl Neubacher: Kriegspfirsich Bogdan Grbi?: Neubachers "Motion-pictures" Klaus Hoffer Wer bist du?/Who are you?

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 Emilio Vedova
Book SynopsisA massive full-career retrospective for Arte Informale painter Emilio Vedova One hundred years after his birth, Emilio Vedova examines the career of the Italian painter Emilio Vedova (1919–2006), best known for his role in the postwar Arte Informale movement. The book surveys Vedova’s career in terms of the artist’s investigations of line and gesture: from the lively, energetic landscape drawings of the 1930s through his progress toward increasingly expressive, materially inventive work—like the Plurimi of the 1960s, in which the artist broke up the surface of a picture into multiple pieces. The publication’s account of Vedova’s career is enriched by an extensive set of illustrations: images of the artist’s works, plus reproductions of his personal photographs, texts and archival material that flesh out the artist’s historical and artistic context. Emilio Vedova offers a comprehensive overview of the work of a pivotal figure in postwar Italian art.

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.

Silvana Lee Mingwei: Li, Gifts and Rituals
Book SynopsisLee Mingwei's artistic practice is primarily concerned with rituals of giving and receiving. His solo exhibition presented at Gropius Bau in Berlin, showcases his installations and performances from the last three decades: central to the exhibition is an exploration of art's potential to be a transformative gift. In Lee Mingwei's works immaterial gifts such as song, conversation or contemplation are given and received. For many of his projects the starting point is his personal encounters, which are then transformed into installations. Seeing such experiences as moments in which time is gifted, Lee's projects reveal a fascination for the role of the host. Accordingly, in autumn 2019, the artist put out open calls looking for Berlin-based hosts to participate in several of his projects. In The Living Room hosts are invited to exhibit their unique collections and in The Mending Project the menders host conversations with visitors whilst repairing their damaged items of clothing. These processes create a common space where viewers are given the opportunity to enter into and exchange, and where rituals of care and healing begin to unfold. Text in German.

Silvana Luisa Lambri: Autoritratto
Book SynopsisLuisa Lambri’s art revolves around the human condition and its relationship with space, touching on areas such as the politics of representation, architecture, the history of abstract photography, modernism, feminism, identity and memory. The title of the exhibition presented at PAC, in Milan, is a tribute to Carla Lonzi who, in 1969, published “Autoritratto”, a collection of interviews with avant-garde artists that revealed their private sides. In the same way, Lambri constructs personal and intimate readings of the subjects of her photographs and encourages a dialogue between the observer, the work of art and the space. Light, time and movement play an important role in her work, where slight differences reflect the artist’s movement within the space. Lambri uses architecture to create her images, rather than images to document architecture, revealing negligible details of modernist architecture or iconic minimalist sculptures. At PAC, her works relate to the unique qualities of the architecture designed by Ignazio Gardella, for which the exhibition was specifically developed. Text in English and Italian.

Silvana Pierre Lesieur: Catalogue raisonné
Book SynopsisPainter, draftsman and engraver, Pierre Lesieur (1922-2011) was one of the most influential French artists of the second half of the 20th century. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris - where he took lessons from André Lhote - and at the Académie de Montmartre, he had his first exhibition in 1952. Lesieur’s paintings of the 1950s are characterised by the use of brightly coloured areas, in line with the work of Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard. In the 1960s, this research bordered on abstraction, particularly in still lifes and representations of objects. From the 1970s onwards, through his paintings and drawings, Lesieur took a particular interest in interiors, as well as in portraits and female nudes. Early in his career, Pierre Lesieur was recognised as an important artist. After his first personal exhibition in 1952, his work was regularly shown at the Coard Gallery in Paris. From the 1990s, Lesieur’s notoriety became international, resulting in further exhibitions in Japan and the United States. Some of his works are now housed in major museums such as the Center Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Hiroshima Museum. Text in English and French.
