La Mina: A Royal Moche Tomb focuses on La Mina, an extraordinarily rich tomb that was looted on the north coast of Peru in 1987. The ceramic and metal objects it contained were among the most extraordinary ever produced in the Andean area, and it had the most colorfully decorated pre-Columbian burial chamber ever found in the Americas. The artifacts are now scattered throughout the world, nearly all of them held in private collections. In this work Donnan reveals how he was able to locate and document many of the tomb's contents and determine how the tomb was constructed and embellished.With more than two hundred color images of the archaeological treasures unearthed at La Mina--remarkable works in ceramic and metal that are among the greatest masterpieces of art from the ancient world--students and scholars will welcome the mystery of how careful archaeological sleuthing can piece together valuable information to recover what seemed to be unrecoverable.

In the words of Peter Schjeldahl, writing in The New Yorker about the exhibition No Problem: Cologne/New York 1984–1989 at David Zwirner in New York, “the show’s cast of artists amounts to a retrospective shopping list of what would matter and endure in art of the era.” With an eye to canonizing that moment, this seminal publication examines the latter half of the 1980s through the lens of international art scenes that were based in Cologne—arguably the European center of the contemporary art world at that time—and New York. While a number of established Cologne-based gallerists, including Karsten Greve, Paul Maenz, Rolf Ricke, Michael Werner, and Rudolf Zwirner, had already begun shaping the European reception of American art in the previous decade, the 1980s marked a period during which art being produced in and around Cologne gained international attention. A burgeoning gallery scene supported the emerging work of artists based in the region, with gallerists such as Gisela Capitain, Rafael Jablonka, Max Hetzler, and Monika Sprüth showing artists such as Walter Dahn, Martin Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen, Rosemarie Trockel, and others. The works of these German artists were exhibited along with the latest contemporary art from the US by artists like Robert Gober, Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Christopher Wool. Conversely, the works of German artists were presented in New York, with breakout exhibitions at galleries such as Barbara Gladstone, Metro Pictures, Luhring, Augustine & Hodes, and other significant venues. Important museum exhibitions that explored work being produced and exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic also set the tone for this ongoing dialogue, among them Europa / Amerika (Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 1986) and A Distanced View: One Aspect of Recent Art from Belgium, France, Germany, and Holland (New Museum, New York, 1986). Big, bold, and vibrant, this Pentagram-designed publication revives the conversation, reproducing in full color over one hundred immensely varied artworks by the twenty-two international artists included in this massive exhibition—one of the largest in David Zwirner’s history. Beyond its stunning visual components, the book features crucial new scholarship by Diedrich Diederichsen and Bob Nickas, and an illustrated chronology of the decade by Kara Carmack. The book also includes an arsenal of compelling archival material, from documentary photographs from the period to reproductions of Cologne’s culture magazine Spex. Taken as a whole, this ambitious exhibition catalogue encapsulates the energy, heart, and “dissonance of styles”—in the words of Schjeldahl—embodied by this fascinating and fecund moment in global art history. Artists featured in the book include Werner Büttner, George Condo, Walter Dahn, Jiri Georg Dokoupil, Peter Fischli/David Weiss, Günther Förg, Robert Gober, Georg Herold, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine, Albert Oehlen, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Rosemarie Trockel, Franz West, and Christopher Wool.

Band 2 der chronologisch angelegten und historisch-kritisch bearbeiteten Gesamtausgabe der Werke von Hans Kelsen (1881-1973), dem bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Rechtstheoretiker des 20. Jahrhunderts und Begründer der "Reinen Rechtslehre", enthält in zwei Halbbänden dessen Habilitationsschrift aus dem Jahre 1911. Mit seinen "Hauptproblemen der Staatsrechtslehre entwickelt aus der Lehre vom Rechtssatze" tritt Kelsen aus dem Schatten der zeitgenössischen Staatsrechtslehre im Besonderen und Rechtswissenschaft im Allgemeinen; in einem Rundumschlag entzaubert er deren Denken in festen rechtlichen Substanzen wie Staat, Gesellschaft, Wille, Mensch mit seinem relationalen Ansatz, der die positivrechtlichen Beziehungen in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Methodenbewusst arbeitet er die Trennlinien einer normwissenschaftlich arbeitenden Jurisprudenz zur Ethik, zur Psychologie und zur Soziologie heraus. Wiewohl seine "Hauptprobleme" noch fast nichts von der erst später entwickelten, dynamischen Konzeption des doppelten Stufenbaus der Rechtsordnung erahnen lassen, legt und erprobt Kelsen hier doch schon die Grundlagen für seine ideologiekritische, die Jurisprudenz an strengen Wissenschaftlichkeitsmaßstäben ausrichtende "Reine Rechtslehre".Grundlage des historisch-kritischen Apparates ist der 2421 Seiten umfassende Autograph der Habilitationsschrift, der in den Jahren 1910 und 1911 dem Verlag J.C.B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck) als Satzmanuskript gedient hat. Dem Abdruck der "Hauptprobleme" ist eine instruktive, den historischen Kontext ausleuchtende Einleitung von Christoph Schönberger in deutscher und englischer Sprache vorangestellt.

New research into medieval English literature, with a particular focus on manuscripts and writing. This acclaimed study of English medieval manuscripts and early printed books - many items from Professor Takamiya's own collection - quickly sold out in hardcover. The subjects range from Saint Jerome to Tolkien, with particular concentrations on Chaucer, Gower, Malory and religious and historical writings of the late middle ages. There are essays examining the work of early printers such as Caxton and de Worde, and of bibliophiles and antiquarians in modern times. Befitting a tribute to a bibliophile, this volume has been handsomely designed by Lida Kindersley of the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop in Cambridge, and is extensively illustrated. The volume as a whole constitutes a substantial body of research on medieval English literature, and early books and manuscripts. Contributors: Richard Barber, Nicolas Barker, Richard Beadle, N.F.

Im Hinblick auf die erneut in den Vordergrund rückenden Debatten zum Thema Gemeinschaft versteht sich dieser Band als interdisziplinär-exploratorischer Versuch, der sich zwischen sozial-philosophischen und theologisch-ekklesiologischen Positionen bewegt. Anhand der gesammelten Beiträge wird eine kritisch-dekonstruktive Auffassung des Zusammenlebens präsentiert, die sich aus metaphysikkritischen und anti-substantialistischen Tendenzen speist. Zudem plädiert sie aus sozialphilosophischer Sicht für eine radikal offene und partizipatorische Kollektivität und entwickelt aus theologisch-christologischer Perspektive eine Ekklesiologie, die sich genuin pluralistisch und dynamisch begreifen lässt. Damit zielen die Beiträge auf ein vielversprechendes Ergebnis, die Freisetzung eines gemeinsamen Ortes, der es ermöglicht, eine ethisch-politische und theologisch-ekklesiologische epoché zu praktizieren. Mittels dieser kann in die verschiedenen institutionellen Bereiche hinein - etwa die der Gesellschaft, Politik, Religion, des Rechts usw. - ein Zuwachs an radikaler Selbstoffenheit, Wandelbarkeit und auch Kritisierbarkeit vermittelt werden.

The contributors to Nervous Systems reassess contemporary artists' and critics' engagement with social, political, biological, and other systems as a set of complex and relational parts: an approach commonly known as systems thinking. Demonstrating the continuing relevance of systems aesthetics within contemporary art, the contributors highlight the ways that artists adopt systems thinking to address political, social, and ecological anxieties. They cover a wide range of artists and topics, from the performances of the Argentinian collective the Rosario Group and the grid drawings of Charles Gaines to the video art of Singaporean artist Charles Lim and the mapping of global logistics infrastructures by contemporary artists like Hito Steyerl and Christoph Büchel. Together, the essays offer an expanded understanding of systems aesthetics in ways that affirm its importance beyond technological applications detached from cultural contexts. Contributors. Cristina Albu, Amanda Boetzkes, Brianne Cohen, Kris Cohen, Jaimey Hamilton Faris, Christine Filippone, Johanna Gosse, Francis Halsall, Judith Rodenbeck, Dawna Schuld, Luke Skrebowski, Timothy Stott, John Tyson
