Στην εποχή του Instagram, του Snapchat και των selfies είναι δυνατόν οι φωτογραφίες να συνθέσουν μια αφήγηση με περιεχόμενο; Όπως γράφει το 1972 ο John Berger στο δοκίμιό του Understanding a Photograph: "Μια φωτογραφία είναι το αποτέλεσμα της απόφασης του φωτογράφου ότι ένα συγκεκριμένο γεγονός ή αντικείμενο που βλέπει αξίζει να καταγραφεί. Αν όλα όσα υπάρχουν φωτογραφίζονταν συνεχώς, τότε η κάθε φωτογραφία θα είχε χάσει το νόημά της. Μια φωτογραφία δεν αναδεικνύει ούτε το ίδιο το γεγονός που απεικονίζει ούτε την ικανότητα της όρασης, αλλά...

(P/B) JEAN MICHEL OTHONIEL
The groundbreaking sculptor's most comprehensive monograph to date Jean-Michel Othoniel is an artist who creates sculptures that explore themes of fragility, transformation, and ephemerality. Using the repetition of such modular elements as bricks or beads, his work deploys various strategies that hint at loss and despair - cracks in his objects' perfect surfaces, negative spaces and, early in his career, transient materials such as sulfur. The most authoritative study of the artist's work to date, it includes intimate gallery pieces as we...

(P/B) SEPTEMBER
Gerhard Richter is one of the most influential artists of modern times. His painting "September" is a response to the bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, made some four years after the event. The eminent American critic and curator Robert Storr, who has had a long working relationship with Richter, explores both the painting and the event itself, through a very personal account of his experience of being in New York on the day of the bombing. Storr shows, through words, details and comparative illustrations, how this p...

(P/B) GERHARD RICHTER
Now available in a flexi edition, this book explores Gerhard Richter's mesmerizing abstract paintings from a particularly fertile period of one of the most important living artists. Startling colors, soft grays, undulating lines and large canvases are the hallmark of Richter's abstract period. Like all of Richter's painting, these works defy categorization, reflecting the artist's own journey towards understanding the world around him, a journey he invites his viewers to share with him. Three of his seminal works of this period: Red, Yello...

(H/B) GERHARD RICHTER
Gerhard Richter is one of the most influential painters working today. Active since the early 1960s, his work in many mediums has garnered serious attention as well as international accolades. His paintings - subtly modulated photo-based works, thought-provoking monochrome abstractions, and heavily painted, highly-colored gestural canvases - are the subject of this lavishly illustrated monograph. This important book accompanied the first comprehensive exhibition of the paintings of the German artist. Included are beautiful color plates of ...

(H/B) ELIZABETH MURRAY
Elizabeth Murray has radically altered the structure of modernist painting. Her shaped and constructed canvases, often topologically modeled in three dimensions or fitted together out of multiple jigsaw-like parts, treat figure and ground in unprecedented ways, giving the elastic shapes of classic Surrealism a space in their own image. The most detailed examination of Murray's art yet mounted, showing its development from Pop-oriented reliefs in the 1960s to the extraordinary volumetric formats of her recent work. With an essay by Robert S...

RAYMOND PETTIBON (P/B)
California-based artist Raymond Pettibon (b.1957) began making his signature ink-wash drawings - combinations of cartoon-like images with short, enigmatic texts - in the 1980s. Since then he has produced thousands of drawings in his unusual drafting style. Framed or pinned directly on the wall, they are often combined by the dozens in no discernible order, like a giant scattered notebook. With solo exhibitions worldwide, including a retrospective at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1994), Pettibon has become renowned as one one...

(H/B) TONY SMITH
This volume provides the first complete overview of the career of a unique figure in the postwar American artistic vanguard. Tony Smith (1912-1980) may be best known for the monumental sculptures that he began to create in the 1960s, but he was in fact a multitalented experimentalist. Published in conjunction with an exhibition opening at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in July 1998, this book presents not only Smith's sculpture but also his paintings, drawings, and architectural projects, both realized and unrealized. (From the publis...
