Erwin Wurm: Wear Me Out

Скачать книгу (размер 748 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 148) Аннотация: A master of deadpan sculpture and the absurd gesture, the Austrian artist Erwin Wurm (born 1954) is tireless and brilliant in his constant reinvention of sculptural convention.

Скачать книгу (размер 687 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 136) Аннотация: The spoken and the written word have long since found their way into the visual arts: as epigrams, marginal notes, quotes, collaged text fragments, or part of a performance, a video, or a sound installation.

Скачать книгу (размер 2 033 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 400) Аннотация: «Genius of the large-format camera, the long exposure and the silverprint, New York-based photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has made pictures that seem to contain whole aeons of time within themselves, and suggest an infinite palette of tonal wealth in blacks, grays and whites. Many of these images have now become a part of art culture's popular image bank (as U2's use of Sugimoto's «Boden Sea» for…

Скачать книгу (размер 605 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 120) Аннотация: «Jeff Koons' spectacular October 2008 exhibition at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie presented the infamous series of sculptures and paintings known collectively as Celebration, a project whose fabrication has involved so much labor (both manual and computer-aided) that Koons seemed to almost vanish from the art world radar in the 1990s, when he first undertook the series.

Baumgartner Michael: Paul Klee Angels

Скачать книгу (размер 769 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 152) Аннотация: Paul Klee (1879 1940) produced a unique, extraordinarily popular group of works; higher beings not only stand for spirituality, but also for skepticism and doubt toward religion and questions of faith. This is the reason for their popularity: Klee s angels are trapped in human form; they have weaknesses and blemishes, are forgetful and ugly, worried or playful occasionally even satanic. To the…

Kunde Harald: Neo Rauch

Скачать книгу (размер 911 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 180) Аннотация: «Almost singlehandedly, Leipzig school painter Neo Rauch has renewed the possibilities of allegory, politics and surrealism in contemporary painting. His epic canvases, with their disjunct components, resemble collages as much as painting, populated with characters seemingly plucked from momentous historical occasions — protestors, eminent-looking statesmen, soldiers, workers — as well as…
