Sigmar Polke : works on paper 1963-1974 by
Margit Rowell(
Book
)
20 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 511 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Sigmar Polke's thirty-five-year career, during which he has produced a vast range of work in all mediums, has earned him a reputation as one of the most significant artists of his generation. Born in 1941, he began his creative output around 1963 in Dusseldorf during a time of enormous social, cultural, and artistic changes in Germany and elsewhere. Few of his works demonstrate more vividly his imagination, sardonic wit, and subversive approach than the drawings, watercolors, and gouaches produced during the 1960s and early 1970s. Embedded in these images are incisive and parodic commentaries on consumer society, the postwar political scene in Germany, and classic artistic conventions." "This book is published to accompany the first American museum exhibition of Polke's drawings from this period, shown at The Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1999. More than 300 works are illustrated, virtually all of them in color. They include small sketches in ballpoint and felt-tipped pen, larger sheets in watercolor and gouache, and still others stamped with a dot screen process."--Jacket

The expanded eye : stalking the unseen by
Suisse) Kunsthaus (Zurich(
Book
)
16 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 185 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The eye is the dominating organ of our era. Our very culture pays tribute to the sense of seeing: an ever-increasing receptiveness, a visual expansion into the most diverse universes and into dimensions which are smaller in spatial terms yet even larger. The virtual and real possibilities at our disposal today have changed our understanding of reality. The Expanded Eye takes a look at the experimental side of art: here seeing means insight. Paintings, objects, installations, films and videos from the nineteen-forties to today are presented in a spectrum that takes equal account of the playful experiments of postwar art and the radically altered artistic premises of the twenty-first century." "With texts by Bice Curiger, Ina Blom, Diedrich Diederichsen, Kurt W. Forster, Al Rees, and Rudiger Wehner, this publication documents how the horizons have widened in art, as abstraction has become dematerialization which has in turn led us into "fluid," hybrid universes where very different levels of reality mingle. The removal of past barriers reflects the changed role of the artist as an explorer who has a playful side and who actively empathizes with the public at large." "The book also contains an anthology of texts from the most diverse subject areas - from artist statements by Lucio Fontana and Josef Albers to theoretical essays by Rudolf Arnheim and philosophical texts by George Kubler and Jonathan Crary."--BOOK JACKET

Doug Aitken : 100 yrs by
Doug Aitken(
Book
)
2 editions published in 2013 in English and held by 169 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The most comprehensive book to date on the innovative multimedia artist Doug Aitken. Defying definitions of genre, Doug Aitken has explored every medium, from architecture and film to installations and interventions. While Aitken's work varies in both theme and context, his installations share a common thread in their ability to use technology to evoke meaningful personal reactions from the viewer, encourage audience interaction, and inspire communal gatherings. His films often explore themes of displacement and temporality, and through his keen awareness of motion, sound, and color he creates dreamlike landscapes and the futurist aesthetic for which he has become known. This beautifully designed book features visual essays by the artist and surveys his work in all mediums. The monograph is organized thematically into the four most prevalent ideas connected with his work, inspires thought, and will leave readers examining their own relationship to the world around them
