Download or read book Art Books written by Wolfgang M. Freitag and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.

Download or read book Georg Baselitz written by Georg Baselitz and published by Royal Academy Books. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georg Baselitz paints violent and distinctive imagery that is reminiscent stylistically of both German and American Expressionism. To the public he is the painter of upside-down pictures. This extensively illustrated book-which reproduces all the major works from Baselitz's distinguished career-explores his development, revealing an artist whose concerns are derived from his experiences of post-war German society. Essays deal with the philosophical preoccupations of the period and place the artist in the context of late twentieth-century art. The book also examines why the artist paints upside down and the importance of this to our understanding of his art. Baselitz is an artist who has rarely commented about his work. This volume presents for the first time his thoughts about his art and the context within which it is made.

Download or read book Georg Baselitz written by Diane Waldman and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 1995 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) came to artistic maturity in Germany in the mid-1960s, he had renounced the gestural abstraction prevalent in Europe and America and developed a new aesthetic based upon the figure and its representation as an abstract image. His bold canvases - which began to feature his signature upside-down figures later in the decade - have brought him international recognition, but only now is his important career the subject of a comprehensive survey, organized by the Guggenheim Museum and traveling to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin. This monograph, by Guggenheim Deputy Director and Senior Curator Diane Waldman, documents every phase of the artist's career as a painter and sculptor. New translations of many of Baselitz's writings provide additional insight into his radical use of the figure in painting. A chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history are also included.

Georg and Anna Polke, Sigmar's children, have restored over two decades worth of film material, much of which was never publicly screened during Polke's lifetime. The rare films in this screening span the artist's life and work providing an insight into his studio, his daily life and family as well as his international travel and interest in other cultures. The films will be introduced by special guests from Polke's family who will discuss his relationship to film and Christof Kohlhöfer will also discuss his collaboration with Polke. -- https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/sigmar-polke-films.
