Neel Dich Abrahamsen har den faglige viden til at undervise i de klassiske øvelser og teknikker og har i bogen kombineret dem med nyere og ældre værker, som kan danne inspiration og forlæg, for den som gerne vil i gang med (eller forbedre) tegnearbejdet.

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.

Julian Schnabel macht Kunst aus dem Leben und findet seine Materialien in der Struktur des Alltags. Er verwendet zerbrochene Teller als unpraktischen Bildgrund, malt auf Samt, Planen von Marktständen und Armeefahrzeugen, Kabuki-Theaterkulissen oder dem Boden eines Boxrings - Oberflächen, die ihre jeweils eigene Geschichte in das Bild mit einbringen. Der Erfolg kam für Schnabel über Nacht mit seiner ersten New Yorker Einzelausstellung im Jahr 1979 und seitdem ist sein Name ein Synonym für die Rückkehr der totgesagten Gattung der Malerei in die zeitgenössische Kunst. Dabei hat er in einer Vielzahl von Medien gearbeitet: Seine Skulpturen erweitern die malerischen Formen der Bilder als grob gehauene, scheinbar abgenutzte Artefakte in den Raum. Als Regisseur von preisgekrönten Kinofilmen portraitiert er Künstler wie Basquiat, van Gogh und andere subtil-heroische Figuren. Und er baut seinen eigenen Traum von einem venezianischen Palast mitten in New York. "Ich möchte, dass mein Leben in meinem Werk steckt, komprimiert in meiner Malerei wie ein Auto in einer Schrottpresse. Sonst wäre meine Arbeit nur irgendwelches Zeugs", sagt Julian Schnabel. Diese Dringlichkeit zieht sich durch sein Schaffen, ganz gleich, welche Mittel oder Medien der Künstler wählt. Jetzt als unlimitierte Ausgabe erhältlich, stellt diese TASCHEN-Monografie die ganze Palette von Schnabels Arbeiten vor. Das Buch wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Künstler geschaffen. Die Texte steuern Freunde, Kuratoren und Kunsthistoriker bei, mit denen Schnabel schon zuvor an Projekten gearbeitet hat: Laurie Anderson zeichnet ein vertrauliches Porträt des Künstlers; Éric de Chassey widmet sich den Gemälden, Bonnie Clearwater den Skulpturen und Max Hollein der ortsspezifischen Arbeit; Donatien Grau schreibt über den Palazzo Chupi, das vom Künstler selbst entworfene Haus im New Yorker West Village; der Schriftsteller Daniel Kehlmann taucht in das filmische Werk ein. Mit diesen Texten und hochwertigen Werkabbildungen macht das Buch Schnabels Kunst auf eine direkte Weise erlebbar, wie es sonst nur in der persönlichen Begegnung mit den Werken möglich ist.
