(H/B) THE ART OF ACTIVISM AND THE ACTIVISM OF ART
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0088

Since the global financial crash of 2008, artists have become increasingly engaged in a wide range of cultural activism targeted against capitalism, political authoritarianism, colonial legacies, gentrification, but also in opposition to their own exploitation. They have also absorbed and reflected forms of protest within their art practice itself. The Art of Activism and the Activism of Art maps, critiques, celebrates and historicises activist art, exploring its current urgency alongside the processes which have given rise to activism by ...

(H/B) MEMORY ART IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD
CONFRONTING VIOLENCE IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0085

Memory Art in the Contemporary World deals with the ever-expanding field of transnational memory art, which has emerged from a political need to come to terms with traumatic historical pasts, from the Holocaust to apartheid, colonialism, state terror and civil war. The book focuses on the work of several contemporary artists from beyond the Northern Transatlantic, including William Kentridge, Vivan Sundaram, Doris Salcedo, Nalini Malani and Guillermo Kuitca, all of whom reflect on historical situations specific to their own countries but i...

(P/B) DARK SIDE OF THE BOOM
THE EXCESSES OF THE ART MARKET IN THE 21st CENTURY
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0079

This book scrutinizes the excesses and extravagances that the 21st-century explosion of the contemporary art market brought in its wake. The buying of art as an investment, temptations to forgery and fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and pressure to produce more and more art all form part of this story, as do the upheavals in auction houses and the impact of the enhanced use of financial instruments on art transactions. Drawing on a series of tenaciously wrought interviews with artists, collectors, lawyers, bankers and convicted artist ...

(P/B) BIENNIALS
THE EXHIBITIONS WE LOVE TO HATE
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0083

Examine one of the most significant recent transitions in the contemporary art world: the proliferation of large-scale international recurrent survey shows of contemporary art, commonly referred to as contemporary biennials. Since the mid-1980s biennials have been instrumental in shaping curating as an autonomous practice. These exhibitions are also said to have provided increased visibility for certain types of new art practices, notably those that are socially and politically committed, research-based, and site-specific, and to have unde...

(P/B) LEONORA CARRIGTON
SURREALISM, ALCHEMY AND ART
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0092

Now available in paperback, this book remains the definitive survey of the life and work of Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011). Carrington burst onto the Surrealist scene in 1936, when, as a precocious nineteen-year-old debutante, she escaped the stultifying demands of her wealthy English family by running away to Paris with her lover Max Ernst. She was immediately championed by Andre Breton, who responded enthusiastically to her fantastical, dark and satirical writing style and her interest in fairy tales and the occult. Her...

(H/B) CURATING ART NOW
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0084

Curating Art Now is a timely reflection on the practice of curating and the role of the art curator following a period of rapid change. Curating has a pivotal position in the art world today: it is embedded in the identity and expertise of the museum and plays an ever-increasing role in the commercial art sector too. Current curatorial practice encompasses a wide range of activities, from the care of collections to the presentation of large-scale contemporary biennials. Curating has also migrated into the fields of fashion, music and lifes...

(H/B) THE ART FAIR STORY
A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0087

In just half a century of growth, the art fair industry has transformed the art market. Now, for the first time, art market journalist Melanie Gerlis tells the story of art fairs' rapid ascent and reflects on their uncertain future. From the first post-war European art fairs built on the imperial 19th-century model of the International Exhibitions, to the global art fairs of the 21st century and their new online manifestations, it's a tale of many twists and turns. The book brings to life the people, places and philosophies that enabled ar...

(H/B) THE RISE AND RISE OF THE PRIVATE ART MUSEUM
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0091

The private collector's museum has become a phenomenon of the 21st century. There are some 400 of them around the world, and an astonishing 70% of those devoted to contemporary art were founded in the past 20 years. Although private museums have been accused of being tax-evading vanity projects or 'tombs for trophies', the picture is far more complex and nuanced, as art-market journalist Georgina Adam (author of best-selling Big Bucks and Dark Side of the Boom) shows in her compelling new book. Georgina Adam's investigation into this extr...

(H/B) RESTITUTION
THE RETURN OF CULTURAL ARTEFACTS
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0086

Debates about the restitution of cultural objects have been ongoing for many decades, but have acquired a new urgency recently with the intensification of scrutiny of European museum collections acquired in the colonial period. Alexander Herman's fascinating and accessible book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the restitution debate with reference to a wide range of current controversies. This is a book about the return of cultural treasures: why it is demanded, how it is negotiated and where it might lead. The uneven r...

(P/B) THE ENDS OF ART CRITICISM
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0090

At a time where there are repeated claims of the impending demise of art criticism, The Ends of Art Criticism seeks to dispel these myths by arguing that the lack of a single dominant voice in criticism is not, as some believe, a weakness, but a strength, allowing previously marginalised voices and new global and political perspectives to come to the fore. An essential book for anyone interested in contemporary art criticism, The Ends of Art Criticism benefits from an author whose 30 years of experience as editor of Art Monthly magazine a...

(P/B) THE CULTURE FACTORY
ARCHITECTURE AND THE CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0089

This book explores the key battlegrounds in the design of the contemporary-art museum, describing the intersection of art, aesthetics and politics at the highest levels, and the commitment of states, cities and wealthy individuals to the display of art. It describes museum building as the projection of political power, but also as a desire to acquire power. It is commonplace to assume that the contemporary-art museum has become ever more spectacular, and the place of art ever more subservient within it. This book argues that a tendency to ...

(H/B) COLOUR BEYOND THE SURFACE
ART IN ARCHITECTURE
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0082

The book discusses the role of art in architecture with a particular focus on colour and the dynamic relationships between light, form, material surface, space and movement. Drawing on historical examples to establish recurring themes, it examines the work of artists and architects whose use of colour is informed by artistic practice. Engagingly written and beautifully illustrated, it is divided into three main sections: the first focusing on architecture, the second on the artworks and the final section on collaboration. Throughout, it br...

(H/B) VERMEER AND THE ART OF LOVE
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0081

Vermeer and the Art of Love is about the emotions evoked in those elegant interiors in which a young woman may be writing a letter to her absent beloved or playing a virginal in the presence of an admirer. But it is also about the love we sense in the painter's attentiveness to every detail within those rooms, which lends even the most mundane of objects the quality of something extraordinary. In this engaging and beautifully illustrated book, Georgievska-Shine uncovers the ways in which Vermeer challenges the dichotomies between 'good' an...

(H/B) 20th CENTURY JAPAN IN 20 BUILDINGS
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0080

There is a long history in the West of viewing Japan through the twin lenses of orientalism and exoticism. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868 and the re-opening of Japan after a long period of self-imposed isolation there has been a succession of commentators who have sought to present Japan as somehow 'other' and not susceptible to ready understanding. Too often the study of Japanese architecture has followed this pattern or has been presented as a series of visual images that are explained as if they emerged from some unique alchemy...

Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0049

Vincent van Gogh Drawings Volume 2: Nuenen 1883-85, the second in the eight-volume catalogue raisonne of Van Gogh's drawings and paintings in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, examines the drawings the artist made during his two-year stay in the Brabant village of Nuenen. It is his depictions of the Brabant landscape and the harsh life led by peasants there that characterize his oeuvre of the period. During this time his paintings and drawings take on a new confidence and coherence they have previously lacked. He approach...

(H/B) THE ART OF DAVID JONES
VISION AND MEMORY
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0078

This book offers a concise and highly readable account of the visual art of David Jones (1895-1974). It challenges the simplistic view of Jones as an outsider or an eccentric, exploring his work instead in relation to the wider cultural and intellectual climate of his times. The authors focus on works of outstanding quality, including engravings from the 1920s, watercolours from 1926-32 and the most significant of Jones's later mythological drawings as well as his studies of trees and chalices and his unique painted inscriptions. Analysis...

(H/B) TITIAN, TINTORETTO, VERONESE
RIVALS IN RENAISSANCE VENICE
Εκδότης: LUND HUMPHRIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2487-0068

For nearly four decades in the sixteenth century, the careers of Renaissance Venice's three greatest painters- Titan, Tintoretto, and Veronese-overlapped, encouraging mutual influences and bitter rivalries that changed the course of art history. Venice was then among Europe's richest cities, and its plentiful commissions fostered an exceptionally fertile and innovative climate. In this environment, the three artists-brilliant, ambitious, and fiercely competitive- vied with each other for primacy, deploying the new combination of oil on can...
