Download or read book The Art of Anselm Reyle written by Anselm Reyle and published by Dumont. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1970, Anselm Reyle already dealt ndash; at a time when the art market was screaming for figurative paintings ndash; with abstraction and formalism. He gives new impulses to subject matters that have been considered passeacute; since the age of modernism by working with present-day materials and associations. His pictures have realised record prices at auctions while the prices of his young German colleagues have stagnated. This year alone, two paintings by Reyle have been auctioned for a tenfold of their valuation price. It is therefore all the more astonishing that there has previously been only one exhibition catalogue (ARS NOVA, Kunsthalle Zurich, 2006) with Anselm Reyle's works. This lavish, large-format monograph is the first of its kind to examine his entire oeuvre. It is printed in seven-colour inks including three special neon colours and printed in part on various type of film, varnished paper and reflecting base coats. Reyle has created 10 new works based on a playful dealing with these materials conceived exclusively for this monograph that will only exist in it. Alongside 300 illustrated works, his own photographs examining the positioning of Berlin, and three texts on his works, the French designer and photo artist Hedi Slimane has developed a series of black and white photographs portraying Reyle at work in his studio. English and German text.

Download or read book Get the Picture written by Bianca Bosker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Get the Picture is one of the funniest books I’ve read . . . Brilliant.” —The Washington Post “A gripping and often hilarious investigation into the art world. . . . Bosker goes full Tom Wolfe.” —TIME “Funny, whip-smart, and gorgeously written, Get the Picture will forever transform the way you see. . . . I loved every word.” —Suleika Jaouad, New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms The New York Times bestselling author of Cork Dork takes readers on another fascinating, hilarious, and revelatory journey—this time burrowing deep inside the secretive world of art and artists An award-winning journalist obsessed with obsession, Bianca Bosker’s existence was upended when she wandered into the art world—and couldn’t look away. Intrigued by artists who hyperventilate around their favorite colors and art fiends who max out credit cards to show hunks of metal they think can change the world, Bosker grew fixated on understanding why art matters and how she—or any of us—could engage with it more deeply. In Get the Picture, Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and, of course, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. As she stretches canvases until her fingers blister, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors, has her face sat on by a nearly-naked performance artist, and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on end while working as a museum security guard, she discovers not only the inner workings of the art-canonization machine but also a more expansive way of living. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram, and from the science of sight to the importance of beauty as it examines art’s role in our culture, our economy, and our hearts, Get the Picture is a rollicking adventure that will change the way you see forever.
Download or read book Contemporary Painting World of Art written by Suzanne Hudson and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international survey of contemporary painting by a leading author features artwork from over 250 renowned artists whose ideas and aesthetics characterize the painting of our time. The twentieth century brought radical changes in art—including the shift from modernism to postmodernism—which were accompanied by fierce debates regarding the place of painting in contemporary culture. Contemporary Painting argues that the medium has not only persisted in the twenty-first century but expanded and evolved alongside changes in art, technology, politics, and other factors, developing a unique energy and diversity. Renowned critic and art historian Suzanne Hudson offers an intelligent and original survey of the subject, organized into seven thematic chapters, each of which explores an aspect of contemporary painting, from appropriation to the ways in which artists address and engage the body. Hudson’s inclusive and compelling text is sensitive to issues such as queer narratives, race, activism, and climate and demonstrates the continued relevance of painting today. Bringing together more than 250 eminent artists from around the world, such as Cecily Brown, Julie Mehretu, Theaster Gates, Kara Walker, Kehinde Wiley, Takashi Murakami, and Zhang Xiaogang, this is an essential volume for art history enthusiasts, students, critics, and practitioners interested in discovering how painting is approached, reimagined, and challenged by today’s artists.

Download or read book When Luxury Meets Art written by Olga Louisa Kastner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, luxury brands join forces with the arts today. Yet, these cross-over collaborations do not constitute a homogeneous strategy, but become manifest in manifold forms and appearances. Regardless of their growing practical relevance for the creation of contemporary luxury brands though, the varied forms of Luxury Brand-Art Collaborations (LBACs) have remained largely unexplored to date. Olga Louisa Kastner aims at systematizing the dominating collaborative patterns between luxury brands and the arts. She empirically derives distinct types of LBACs, based on methodically developed attributes and a large number of real cases. Finally, the author describes the main characteristics of the identified types and illustrates them by prototypical cases.
Download or read book Re presentation Policies of the Fashion Industry written by Eleni Mouratidou and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book studies the way the luxurious fashion develops re-presentational politics by reinvesting symbolic fields such as art and culture, religion and the sacred as well as politics, in other words fields that represent a certain common pattern of life and a common interest. I develop a semiotic approach of the way art exhibitions, print and audiovisual advertising, publishing and distribution politics as well as special ready to wear collaborations with arts such as Jeff Koons reveal the fashion industrys gesture of pretending being a non-commercial structure especially in order to cover up its industrialisation and banalization process
Download or read book Merchants of Style written by Natasha Degen and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2023-05-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at Andy Warhol’s legacy as maker and muse, this book offers a critical examination of the coalescence of commerce and style. Merchants of Style explores the accelerating convergence of art and fashion, looking at the interplay of artists and designers, and the role of institutions—both public and commercial—that have brought about this marriage of aesthetic industries. The book argues that one figure more than any other anticipated this moment: Andy Warhol. Beginning with an overview of art and fashion’s deeply entwined histories, and then picking up where Warhol left off, Merchants of Style tells the story of art’s emboldened forays into commerce and fashion’s growing embrace of art. As the two industries draw closer together than ever before, this book addresses urgent questions about what this union means and what the future holds.
Download or read book All That Glitters written by Orlando Whitfield and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling insider’s account of the contemporary art world and the stunning rise and fall of the charismatic American art dealer Inigo Philbrick, as seen through the eyes of his friend and fellow dealer In development as a series for HBO Orlando Whitfield and Inigo Philbrick met in 2006 at London’s Goldsmiths University where they became best friends. By 2007 they had started I&O Fine Art. Orlando would eventually set up his own gallery and watch as Inigo quickly immersed himself in a world of private jets and multimillion-dollar deals for major clients. Inigo seemed brilliant, but underneath the extravagant façade, his complicated financial schemes were unraveling. With debt, lawsuits, and court summonses piling up, Inigo went into a tailspin of lies and subterfuge. At around the same time, Orlando would himself experience a nervous breakdown and leave the art world for good. By 2019 things had spiraled enough out of control for Inigo to flee to the remote island nation of Vanuatu, 300 miles west of Fiji. Within a year, he was arrested by the FBI and extradited to America, where he was sentenced to seven years in prison for having committed more than $86 million in fraud. All That Glitters is at once a shocking and compulsive story of ambition and downfall, a cautionary tale, and an intimate portrait of friendship and its loss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Jungian term of the complex the present volume inquires about the making of the artistic persona in twentieth-century photography. The articles examine photographic (self-)portraits, the dynamics between self-statements of artists and photographers, the interrelations of photography, of painting and of performance art and investigate their origins in the history of ideas. The volume traces a portrait of photography as a metascience; as preparatory work, a source of inspiration and an alternate medium in which artists could explore different subjects. With essays by Ulrike Blumenthal, Till Cremer, Victoria Fleury, Jadwiga Kamola, Weronika Kobylińska-Bunsch, Nadja Köffler, Constance Krüger, Wilma Scheschonk, Gerd Zillner.
Download or read book Chroma written by Barbara Glasner and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designer und Architekten müssen täglich über Farben entscheiden. Aber wie findet man die wegweisende Inspiration? Die passende Farbe? Wie gehen andere Gestalter oder Künstler mit dem Thema um? Unter dem Titel Chroma, dem griechischen Wort für Farbe, gibt der vorliegende Bildband Antwort auf diese Fragen und macht deutlich, dass Farbe eben nicht nur Dekoration ist, sondern eine der zentralen Problemstellungen kreativer Arbeit. Dabei setzt Chroma auf die sinnliche Erfahrung von Farbe, inspiriert und verführt mit außergewöhnlichen Projekten von Industrieprodukten bis Farbfeldmalerei. Das Buch präsentiert sowohl die Arbeiten jüngerer Designer wie Stefan Diez und Arik Levy als auch die berühmter Künstler wie Ellsworth Kelly. Sämtliche Arbeiten sind großformatig dargestellt und in einer Art Farbverlauf den Kapiteln „monochromatic", "multichromatic" und "achromatic" zugeordnet.

Ein alphabetischer Index liefert Hintergrundinformationen zu den ausgewählten Personen und Studios.
Download or read book The synthetic proposition written by Nizan Shaked and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synthetic proposition examines the impact of Civil Rights, Black Power, the student, feminist and sexual-liberty movements on conceptualism and its legacies in the United States between the late 1960s and the 1990s. It focuses on the turn to political reference in practices originally concerned with abstract ideas, as articulated by Joseph Kosuth, and traces key strategies in contemporary art to the reciprocal influences of conceptualism and identity politics: movements that have so far been historicised as mutually exclusive. The book demonstrates that while identity-based strategies were particular, their impact spread far beyond the individuals or communities that originated them. It offers a study of Adrian Piper, David Hammons, Renée Green, Mary Kelly, Martha Rosler, Silvia Kolbowski, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Lorna Simpson, Hans Haacke, Andrea Fraser and Charles Gaines. By turning to social issues, these artists analysed the conventions of language, photography, moving image, installation and display.
Download or read book Art Since 1989 World of Art written by Kelly Grovier and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensive, accessible guide to the most groundbreaking and influential art from 1989 to the present The years since the collapse of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 have seen the rise of a new freedom to define art—Who makes it? Where can it be found? What is its commercial value?—and, consequently, the reevaluation of art’s place in society. Kelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, focusing on artists whose fresh visual vocabulary and innovation reflect these past turbulent decades. The book’s ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art—portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, political activism, science, and religion, to name a few—by artists including Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close, and Cornelia Parker. A chapter-length timeline at the end of the book traces the evolution of art from 1989 to today by closely examining one key artwork from each year. Illustrated with the work of over 200 key artists, Art Since 1989 is a lucid and engaging look at what may prove to be one of the more tempestuous eras in human history, if not the history of art.
