Book excerpt: Kai Althoff (b. 1966, Germany) is one of the most consummate - and unpredictable - artists of his generation. A painter and a draftsman, he has experimented since the mid-1990s with combinations of unconventional mediums and exhibition formats to create all-encompassing environments that might include finely detailed drawings; collage; woven textiles, knitted fabric; soft sculpture; paintings; writing; video; fragrance; and song. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this publication presents Althoff's work in all mediums created over a 25-year career, and is the most comprehensive publication on the artist to date. Created in close collaboration with the artist in the model of old master catalogues from the period after the Second World War, the book features lavish colour reproductions of Althoff's most significant works. Contributions by art historians, curators, a critic, a rabbi, a professor of psychology and a close friend of the artist offer multiple perspectives on Althoff's iconographically rich work.

Book excerpt: Accompanying his first major retrospective in the UK, this beautifully-produced catalogue documents recent and new work by German-born artist Kai Althoff presented together with ceramics by Bernard Leach, selected by Althoff.Kai Althoff (b. 1966 Cologne) is renowned as a figurative painter and creator of poetic mises-en-scène, all-encompassing environments that incorporate textiles, photographs, drawings and artifacts.Althoff draws from a wide range of literary, cultural and artistic influences in his work, and for his unique display at Whitechapel Gallery he will pay tribute to British potter Bernard Leach (1887-1979), selecting around twenty of Leach's ceramic vessels and tiles from the 1920s onwards to be displayed in specially designed vitrines. As a counterpoint to Leach's own work, Althoff will present his own new paintings and sculptural installations, as well as recent pieces which bring together fabrics, found material and paintings inspired by Japonisme.This unique publication, created in close collaboration with Kai Althoff, will include installation photography of the exhibition, as well as a new interview with Althoff and commissioned writing on the work of both Althoff and Leach.The exhibition will coincide with the centenary of the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, founded in 1920 and considered to be the birthplace of British studio pottery.

Book excerpt: "Many years ago this artist placed a singles ad in Denver's alternative weekly newspaper. The headline read "Work Hard, Play Hard" and now this book celebrates 25 years of happy marriage thanks to a fun advertising experiment. In a bit of whimsy, image and text play off of each other to create irreverent pairings of singles pick-up lines with intimate portraits of abandoned furniture that can be found cast aside like a bad romance on city streets everywhere. Twenty Polaroid-style photographs are paired with text highlighting the becoming features of the lonely furniture"--Artist's statement

Download or read book Jutta Koether written by Jutta Koether and published by Dumont. This book was released on 2006 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jutta Koether's translucent color fields, expressive brushstrokes and female subjects--as well as her use of poetry, art history and Mylar--can make her seem like a feminist answer to the Cologne art scene, a counterpart to artists like Martin Kippenberger, Sigmar Polke and Albert Oehlen. In fact, she is a central contemporary painter in her own right, as well as a performance artist, a musician and a critic. She collaborates musically with Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Television's Tom Verlaine, contributes regularly to Artforum and the respected German culture magazine Spex, and teaches in Bard College's MFA program--and has recently shown her work at Reema Spaulings Fine Art and Thomas Erben Gallery in New York. Koether's work, which the New York Times has called "vibrant" and "intriguing," was a standout in the 2006 Whitney Biennial. This look back documents the artist's oeuvre from the mid-80s forward, with an extensive selection of images.

Download or read book Seeing Out Loud written by Jerry Saltz and published by Geoffrey Young. This book was released on 2003 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Art. In SEEING OUT LOUD, Saltz critically engages with notable works of art by over 100 notable artists ranging from Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol to Matthew Barney, Gerhard Richter, and Chris Ofili. These reviews appeared in the Village Voice between November 1998 and winter 2003. "Jerry Saltz is the best informed and hair-trigger liveliest of contemporary art critics, tracking pleasure and jump-starting intelligence on the fly. Jerry's fast takes usually stand up better in retrospect than other people's long views"---Peter Schjedahl. "Jerry Saltz looks at art from the perspective of the viewer, the ignorant, the lover, and the enemy. His writing is overwhelmingly passionate, yet without sentimentality. His words pierce the content and beauty of each work of art to test its endurance in time and memory"---Francesco Bonami, Curator, 2003 Venice Biennale.
