Richter's colorful, epic paintings in dialogue with 17th-century works at a Venetian palazzoPublished for a unique exhibition at the historic Venetian palazzo Scuola Grande di San Fantin, this clothbound catalog showcases large-scale oil paintings by German artist Daniel Richter (born 1962). Installation shots display the unique display of Richter's intensely colorful paintings, interwoven with the palazzo's 17th-century works. The combination highlights the punk ethos of the artist in full force.Richter studied with German modernist painter Werner Büttner at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg until 1994. Since then, his work has moved through several phases. His early paintings challenged the abstract canon of German postwar painting with an exuberant, psychedelic formal language. No less radical are Richter's monumental paintings begun after 2000, through which he used painterly allegories to subvert figurative history painting.

Abstrakt surveys new works in the field of abstract painting that subvert the principles of Modernism and reflect on the status of painting in a post-Duchampian universe.

Rauschenberg's rarely seen ceramic experiments of the 1980sOver the course of a 15-year period, Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) frequently traveled to Japan, where he developed a keen interest in ceramics. The artist began to create his own, developing an idiosyncratic process that combined ancient Japanese pottery traditions with modern innovations.This striking volume charts Rauschenberg's foray into the medium. Including previously unpublished archival material, the book presents two of his rarely seen series, The Japanese Clayworks (1982/1985) and Japanese Recreational Clayworks (1982-83/1985). The former features sculptural elements and photographic imagery of ancient and modern Japan, as well as distinctive brushstrokes; the latter series comprises prefabricated reproductions of historical Western artworks on ceramic panels, to which Rauschenberg added his own imagery of contemporary Japan from photographs he took across the country, along with gestural brushwork.

That the tradition of the still life never left art for good, only changed in dramatic and often unforeseen ways, is the contention and reason behind this succinct and stimulating volume. Assembled here are works by forty of the most important artists of the last Five plus decades, including Francis Bacon, George Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joseph Beuys, Donald Baechler, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Gilbert & George, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Claus Oldenburg, Henri Matisse, Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol. The definition of the still life as presented by these artists has expanded sometimes to the breaking point, but also represents one of the true unifying elements of modern and postmodern art.

The first monograph on the colorful 1980s work of the pop art pioneerPresenting key works from the 1980s by the iconic pop artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923-97), Roy Lichtenstein: The Loaded Brush includes full-spread installation views alongside an essay by the German art historian Siegfried Gohr that focuses on a period of great formal innovation both in painting and sculpture which centers on the motif of the brushstroke. Lichtenstein explains: "It [the brushstroke] was the way of portraying this romantic and bravura symbol in its opposite style, classicism. The Brushstroke plays a big part in the history of art. Brushstroke almost means painting or art. Lichtenstein's fascination with the brushstroke throughout art history is explored in sections covering his work in collage, drawing, painting and sculpture. This publication also features rare archival material, including images of the artist working in his studio.

Asked about his use of the term "Spread," Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) responded that it meant "as far as I can make it stretch, and land (like a farmer's 'spread'), and also the stuff you put on toast." Prompted by an imminent retrospective of his work in 1976, Rauschenberg sourced motifs from his own past--tires, bedding, electric lights, bird wings, umbrellas and parachutes--and recombined them with textiles and printed media images in large-scale, quasi-architectural works. This fully illustrated catalog is the first devoted to Robert Rauschenberg's Spreads series (1975-83). It includes full-page reproductions of the artist's paintings and works on paper. In her essay, Elisa Schaar states: "Rather than a retrospective exercise, the Spreads is a series with visual and historical specificity in its own right, incorporating not only elements from Rauschenberg's earlier work, but also reflecting changes in his life, his practice and in contemporary art at the time."
