Sylvie Fleury
ISBN: 9783954761678 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sylvie Fleury (b. Geneva, 1961; lives and works in Geneva) makes art in which references to the realms of luxury and commodities serve to dismantle the hierarchical distinctions between art, culture, design, fashion, and commerce. She got her start in the art world almost by chance when, in 1990, the artist John Armleder hired her as his assistant, and since then she has presented objects of desire from the domains of fashion and cosmetics as sculptures and installations. Arrangements on the floor of the exhibition space feature shopping bags emblazoned with the emblems of popular fashion...

For more than 60 years, Jasper Johns (b. 1930) has remained a singular figure in contemporary art.

In subsequent decades, Johns's art has increasingly engaged issues of memory... The essential five-volume resource on the painting and sculpture of one of the world's foremost contemporary artists

Nathlie Provosty
ISBN: 9783954761654 / Angielski / Twarda / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nathlie Provosty (b. Cincinnati, OH 1981; lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) has recently gained critical acclaim for subtle, highly sensual, abstract oil paintings that oscillate in appearance between word forms, possible body fragments, and moving images. The artist's frequent use of dark colors stems from an interest in the peripheral territories of visual perception. Taking this source one step further, she describes the paintings as emitting -inaudible sound---sound that we can feel though not hear. Visible color occupies just a small region of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, within...

Markus Karstiess

Haan/Rhineland, 1971; lives and works in Dusseldorf) studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Fine Arts from 1992 and 1998, finishing in the class of Jannis Kounellis. In 2005, the encounter with Lucio Fontana's large-format ceramic relief Il Sole (1952) in the pavilion built for the work by Erwin Heerich on the Raketenstation Hombroich inspired him to try his hand at working in clay. He eventually focused his creative energies on this material and intuitively entrusted himself to its intrinsic dynamic qualities, developing a distinctive formal idiom in sculptures,...

Marlena Kudlicka
ISBN: 9783954761722 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The roots of early modernism are palpable in the works of Marlena Kudlicka (b. Tomaszow Lubelski, 1973; lives and works in Berlin). She adopts the narrative register of the avant-garde to transpose it into a realm that lies beyond anonymous and standardized perfection. Kudlicka's approach to mathematical and scientific thought has more in common with lyric poetry: she expands language and logic by integrating alternative models and -insignificant- processes and produces novel compositions based on various non-intentional and non-rational principles. She visualizes sounds and rhythms by...

Printmaking was a vital artistic practice for Warhol. Prints figure prominently throughout his career from his earliest work as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s to the collaborative silkscreens made in the Factory during the 1960s and the commissioned portfolios of his final years. In their fascination with popular culture and provocative subverting of the difference between original and... "I'm for mechanical art," said Andy Warhol (1928-87).
