Despite its large and growing popularity — to say nothing of its near-ubiquity in the world’s art scenes and international exhibitions of contemporary art — installation art remains a form whose artistic vocabulary and conceptual basis have rarely been subjected to thorough critical examination.In Installation Art: Between Image and Stage, Anne Ring Petersen aims to change that. She begins by exploring how installation art developed into an interdisciplinary genre in the 1960s, and how its intertwining of the visual and the performative has acted as a catalyst for the generation of new artistic phenomena. She investigates how it became one of today's most widely used art forms, increasingly expanding into consumer, popular and urban cultures, where installation's often spectacular appearance ensures that it meets contemporary demands for sense-provoking and immersive cultural experiences.The main trajectory of the book is directed by a movement aimed at addressing a series of basic questions that get at the heart of what installation art is and how it is defined: How does installation structure time, space and representation? How does it address and engage its viewers? And how does it draw in the surrounding world to become part of the work? Featuring the work of such well-known artists as Bruce Nauman, Pipilotti Rist, Ilya Kabakov and many others, this book breaks crucial new ground in understanding the conceptual underpinnings of this multifacious art form.Anne Ring Petersen is associate professor in the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen and the editor of Contemporary Painting in Context.

Kaum eine Künstlerin stieg so kometenhaft in der Kunstgeschichte auf wie die mexikanische Malerin Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Ihr unverwechselbares Antlitz hielt sie in über fünfzig außergewöhnlichen Selbstporträts fest, die seit Generationen bewundert werden. Diese Werke und zahlreiche Aufnahmen namhafter Fotokünstler wie Manuel und Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray und Martin Munkácsi machten Frida Kahlo zu einer Ikone der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nach einem Unfall in ihrer frühen Jugend entschied sich Frida, Malerin zu werden. Ihre Heirat mit Diego Rivera im Jahr 1929 katapultierte sie an die Spitze der Kunstszene, nicht nur in Mexiko, sondern auch in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Europa. Kein geringerer als André Breton lobte ihr Werk und nahm die Malerin in den internationalen Kreis der Surrealisten auf . 1939 stellte er ihre Arbeiten in Paris aus, wo Picasso, Kandinsky und Duchamp sie bewunderten. Dieser Band bietet Gelegenheit, Frida Kahlos Gemälden nahe wie nie zuvor zu kommen - in brillanten Reproduktionen und im Zusammenspiel mit berühmten Fotografien. Das Buch präsentiert Werke aus Privatsammlungen, die für die breite Öffentlichkeit schwer zugänglich sind, und zeigt Arbeiten, die bislang als verschollen galten oder seit mehr als 80 Jahren nicht mehr ausgestellt waren . Zeichnungen, Tagebuchseiten sowie eine umfangreich illustrierte Biografie mit Fotos von Frida, Diego und der Casa Azul - ihrem Zuhause - erlauben einen intimen Einblick in Frida Kahlos Leben und ihr künstlerisches Universum .

"Capturing Nature is the ultimate guide to nature printing, a beautiful and invaluable reference work for scholars, artists, designers, botanists, and anyone interested in nature, botanical illustration, and printing. Hailed as the earliest precursor to photography, nature printing is the practice of using impressions from the surface of natural objects such as leaves, flowering plants, ferns, seaweed, snakeskin, and more to produce an image. The Zucker Collection is the most extensive collection of nature prints ever assembled, with more than 13,000 images across 130 rare and seminal works from 1733 to 1902, including journals, published books, unique manuscripts, American currency, and instructional texts related to nature printing. For the first time, readers will be able to view these nature prints presented side by side, enabling unique comparisons and undertaking a visually stunning journey through the developments over a 150-year period in printing methods including photography and examples of cyanotypes"--Publisher's description

"Recalling a charcoal she made in 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe later wrote, 'I have made this drawing several times--never remembering that I had made it before--and not knowing where the idea came from.' These drawings, and the majority of O'Keeffe's works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and graphite, belong to series in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. In the formative years of 1915 to 1918, she made as many works on paper as she would in the next 40 years, producing sequences in watercolor of abstract lines, organic landscapes and nudes, along with charcoal drawings she would group according to the designation 'specials.' While her practice turned increasingly toward canvas in subsequent decades, important series on paper reappeared--including charcoal flowers of the 1930s, portraits of the 1940s, and aerial views of the 1950s"--Harvard Bookstore website (viewed on April 12, 2023)

Vævning er det nye store hit blandt kreative personer i Danmark. I 'Båndvævning- Kom godt i gang' får læseren en udførlig, men enkel introduktion til, hvordan man let kan komme i gang med at væve. Teknikkerne i bogen bliver suppleret med flotte billeder og letforståelige illustrationer. Når man tænker på vævning, forestiller man sig ofte store tungevævemaskiner, der fylder en halv stue. Men sådan behøver det ikke at være. I Kerstin Neumüllers nye bog om båndvævning åbner en ny væveverden sig. Hun viser, hvordan man væver med redskaber, der er nemme at lave selv, og som ofte ikke er større, end de passer i en bukselomme. Her er inspiration både til dem, der aldrig har vævet, men er ivrige efter at prøve, og til erfarne vævere, der gerne vil arbejde med fleksible værktøjer til at lave bånd, vægpynt, grydelapper og andre praktiske og fine ting.Kerstin fortæller også om sin rejse fra tekstil til træhåndværk og viser, hvordan man laver sit eget væveværktøj i lommestørrelse af træ eller sågar af en mælkekarton. Først vandt broderiet frem i Danmark. Nu vokser også interessen for vævning blandt danskerne. Kerstin Neumüllers bog er derfor en kærkommenintroduktion til en vævemetode, hvor man ikke behøver den store investering i en væv.

New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art. It demonstrates the many ways in which the most significant art movement of the last century continues to be relevant today, featuring an international selection of contemporary artists whose compositions and studio practice reveal its influence. There are many modalities of historical Surrealism that still maintain contemporary currency: presenting the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny, the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated imagery, the use of absurdity to critique political or social issues, and the use of erotic imagery in an irrational, non-linear context. Not all the artists brought together in this book self-identify as Surrealist, per se, but each uses some variation of Surrealism in a personal manner. The book begins with a study of the origins, leadership, participating artists, and major milestones of historical Surrealism. Zeller chronicles the movement starting at the end of World War I and the birth of Dada. The most important players and events emerge throughout the timeline of events-including World War II, and such notable artists as Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington, and many others-up until the death of its leader Andre Breton in 1966. Zeller then explores how elements of New Surrealism are being put into practice in the contemporary art world. Section Two offers a survey of 29 contemporary artists who engage in New Surrealism's seemingly unlimited variations of the movement's original themes, including Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown, and Arghavan Khosravi. Section Three features 14 artists, including important contemporary artists such as Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey and Anna Weyant, who speak to Surrealism's influence on their studio practice, detailing in their own words how they create a composition from start to finish.
