Emerging in the late 1960s, Conceptual art was spurred by a network of artists, dealers, curators and critics. These little-known connections are detailed for the first time in this indispensable volume. A detailed account of a decade of artistic activity is accompanied by an extensive set of previously unpublished data, charting the exhibitions and sales of Conceptual works to galleries, public institutions and private collections. The relationships, support structures and strategies of dealer galleries - such as Konrad Fischer, Wide White Space and Lisson Gallery to promote artists such as Marcel Broodthaers, Richard Long and Lawrence Weiner - are revealed and make fascinating reading. Including numerous interviews with key figures of the period, Unconcealed exposes the new dealing, curatorial, collecting and teaching methods formed in this decade that continue to be critical to today's art world.

Best-known for her ambitious sculptural works, this volume explores how Alison Wilding's compelling drawing and extensive use of collage have been integral to her development for five decades.

The first monograph on the overlooked American modernist whose delicate geometric abstractions made brilliant and innovative use of stringBalance, motion, suspension and tension form the guiding principles of the work of Sue Fuller (1914-2006), one of the most innovative artists in the field of geometric abstraction in the postwar United States. Initially a prominent figure in Stanley William Hayter's famous New York print workshop Atelier 17, Fuller developed an interest in geometric abstraction in the mid-1940s, which led her to adopt string as a tool to create three-dimensional compositions in a range of colors and varying densities across a light framing structure. Fuller is also known for her use of unconventional materials sourced from industrial sectors, including fishing lines and synthetic surfaces such as Lucite, which conserve the compositions' delicate tension and vivid color schemes in pristine condition to this day. Sue Fuller: Into the Composition is the first monographic study of Fuller's work and includes contributions by art historians Alex J. Taylor and Christina Weyl.

"Simon Moretti is known for his enigmatic exhibition works, presenting displays that engage with questions of agency, temporality, automatism, desire and masculinity. Incorporating appropriated images and archives as well as curatorial and publishing projects, often made in collaboration with other artists, his work addresses the role of 'curating as practice'. Presented as a non-chronological visual essay, this publication surveys 10 years of collage works by Moretti. It includes text contributions from writer Craig Burnett, curator and art historian Yuval Etgar, novelists Deborah Levy and Chloe Aridjis, and a conversation with Andrew Durbin, editor-in-chief of frieze magazine."--

This first ever queer history of St Ives weaves together biography with art and social history to shine new light on a pivotal era in the development of British modernismBased on original interviews and previously unpublished letters and diaries, Queer St Ives reveals a fascinating, hitherto undocumented history, adding vital new insight into the history of the fabled British art colony. At the center of this pioneering volume is the sculptor John Milne, who arrived in the southwestern town of St Ives, Cornwall, in 1952, to work as an assistant to Barbara Hepworth. Hidden behind tall granite walls, Milne's house, Trewyn, became a meeting point for queer figures from the arts and was the scene of legendary parties. The large cast--queer and otherwise--featured here includes artists Francis Bacon, Alan Lowndes, Marlow Moss, Patrick Procktor, Mark Tobey, Keith Vaughan and Brian Wall; Whitechapel Art Gallery director Bryan Robertson; actors Keith Barron and Richard Wattis; potter Janet Leach; writers Tony Warren and Richard Blake Brown; and the extraordinary Julian Nixon, a queer everyman whose involvement in the group has been little explored until now.

"Bad Manners is an original history of non-consensual collaboration between artists, from the first decades of the twentieth century to the present day. Narrated by artist Jake Chapman and art historian Yuval Etgar, this book takes the reader through a wealth of artworks and anecdotes involving cannibalistic acts of modification or alteration of another artist's work, the hijacking of authorship through the addition of a signature, and occasions when the identities of artists or their creations are cast in doubt. Among the works in discussion are a drawing by Pablo Picasso signed as Henri Matisse, a coffee table executed by Martin Kippenberger using a painting by Gerhard Richter as its surface, and a performance by David Hammons documenting the artist urinating on a Richard Serra sculpture. Published to accompany an exhibition of the same name at Luxembourg + Co., London, Bad Manners raises questions concerning the nature of artistic authorship, standards of collegial etiquette, plagiarism and ownership. Exhibition: Luxembourg + Co., London, UK (01.03.-15.05.2022)."--

A handsome presentation of Scottish artist Sarah Graham's up-close drawings of insects and plantsIn her majestic drawings, London-based artist Sarah Graham (born 1973) observes the plant and insect world in close-up, through the prism of a naturalist and a traveler. Graham has been drawing and painting full-time for more than a decade now, making images informed by her knowledge of the unfamiliar and faraway. Her studies of the natural world have the complexity and detail of a Leonardo drawing: rhizomes, bulbs and vividly chromatic large-petaled tropical flowers, visited by the insect and butterfly specimens that she borrows from the Entomology Department of the Natural History Museum, London. She is inspired by the graphic plant imagery of German photographer Karl Blossfeldt, and particularly by the spiky biomorphism of Graham Sutherland's works, which feed her sculptural interpretations in charcoal and graphite. Sutherland is her lodestar, first encountered at Saltwood Castle, home to her godmother Jane Clark and the late Sir Kenneth Clark's superb collection of British modernist painting.

This book accompanys PEER's show presenting a group of sculptural works produced between the late 1940s and early 1990s. An exhibition that focused on Jevric's Proposals for Monuments was presented at the Henry Moore Institute in 2006, but this will be Jevric's first solo exhibition in London. Jevric worked primarily with a mixture of cement, iron dust, rods and nails, to create a range of distinct forms that investigate the relationship between solid matter and void; weight and weightlessness; containment and release. The surface of the works are roughly textured and pitted as if created by nature, rather than the artist's hand. Jevric referred to her work as ?spatial compositions? rather than sculptures, suggesting how her musical training provided her with an understanding of how abstract form, like tone and timbre, can be used to highly expressive ends.0 0By way of bringing Jevric's extraordinary work to contemporary British audiences, Richard Deacon (who met the artist at her studio on a number of occasions) and Phyllida Barlow and have been invited to write personal responses to this artist's work. Other texts include an introduction by Fedja Klikovac of Handel Street Projects, a preface by Ingrid Swenson from PEER gallery and an essay by Serbian art historian Jesa Denegri.00Exhibition: PEER gallery, London, UK (28.06.-14.09.2019).
