About Simon Fujiwara

28,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This publication is being released to coincide with the retrospective of the British-Japanese artist Simon Fujiwara at Mudam Luxembourg. It brings together a range of authors who explore Fujiwara's central themes and methods from diverse perspectives. The essays examine the structures underlying his works through the lens of topics such as psychoanalysis, iconography, branding, and marketing. In doing so, they also reflect on the conditions of artistic life and work in an increasingly mediatized world. Fujiwara's work, often described as a "distorted mirror of the 21st century," is both fascinating and unsettling. The publication invites readers to explore a complex, contradictory, and constantly evolving body of work. Simon Fujiwara (*1982, London) has developed a wide-ranging body of work that encompasses performance, video, painting, and immersive installations. His work explores constructions of the self in the 21st century, particularly in relation to technology and capitalism. In 2010, he received the Baloise Prize at Art Basel as well as the Frieze Cartier Award.

Mariuccia Secol. Unraveling

38,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This monograph is the first comprehensive study of Italian artist Mariuccia Secol (*1929), who redefined the boundaries of feminist art through powerful textile and sculptural works. Her practice evolved from abstract painting in the 1950s and 1960s to innovative fabric assemblages, installations with everyday materials, ceramics, and collages. Thematically, her works revolve around issues such as the subordinate role of women, domestic violence, and social exclusion. Using embroidery, fabric deconstructions, and household objects, Secol created textile artworks that symbolize wounds and resilience and intensively address the political and social problems of our time. Mariuccia Secol was born in Castellanza (northern Italy) in 1929 and lives and works in Daverio near Milan. After completing her artistic training, she began exhibiting her work extensively and, in 1974, co-founded the feminist artist group Gruppo Feminist Immagine di Varese, with which she exhibited at the 1978 Venice Biennale. Today, her works are recognised worldwide and shown at important feminist art exhibitions, such as The Unexpected Subject: 1978 – Art and Feminism in Italy at the FM Centre for Contemporary Art in Milan and Cooking, Cleaning, Caring: Care Work in the Arts Since 1960 at the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat in Bottrop.

Henri Matisse Jazz. Drawing With Scissors - Drawing With Scissors

de Henri Matisse Jazz

13,65€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Jazz, Matisse composes with scissors what he could no longer paint with brushes. From this limitation emerged a new kind of freedom — a whirlwind of shapes and colours, a dance that is both joyful and profound. Page after page, he cuts, paces, invents a visual language of striking intensity, somewhere between abstraction and figuration. Conceived as an artist's book, Jazz brings together the famous cut-outs and handwritten texts in which Matisse reflects on art, colour, music, and life. The silence of the images enters into a dialogue with the words — like breaths, surges, pauses. A final masterpiece, Jazz is also a celebration of vitality, movement, and light — a timeless work that still dazzles with its expressive force and brilliance.

Magdalena Abakanowicz. Human Nature

28,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930-2017) is known for her iconic installations that explored the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the strength of the collective versus the individual. Today the power of her art, like predications from the past, are rivetingly real. This publication offers rich intellectual insight into the relevance of this Polish artist to the threatened present-a time in which geopolitical shifts between East and West and predictions of the Club of Rome (1972) and climate scientists are becoming a worldwide reality. And here Abakanowicz's vision on nature and the human condition is explored in a uniquely inspired way: by engaging seven artists/collaboratives to reflect in deeply personal ways on their art through dialogues with historians, philosophers, and other thinkers. This "counterpoint" launches discussion around the human condition in a post-humanist time, collective identity, trauma, climate change, unending destruction of the planet, and more. Finally, the uncommon approach of this show and book demonstrates how the elder artist's art and life is a lens through which not only these artists but we can reconsider our place in the world.Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930-2017) is known for her iconic installations that explored the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the strength of the collective versus the individual.

Edita Schubert: Profusion

36,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is the first major study of Edita Schubert's art published outside Croatia. Edita Schubert's body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later works-self-portraits of various kinds-offer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art. Edita Schubert (1947 2001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.

Jadwiga Maziarska: Assembly

36,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish artist Jadwiga Maziarska (1913-2003), featuring essays by renowned art historians and curators, and a selection of archival materials from 1940s-1990s. Maziarska was one of the most important voices of the avant-garde in Poland, alongside recently recognized Erna Rosenstein, her closest friend and interlocutor. The title "assembly" speaks to Maziarska as engineer and bricoleur of source materials and methods, producing an abstraction which is uncategorizable within the postwar Krakow Group (Grupa Krakowska II) and beyond. Her artistic processes were rooted in the physicality of assembling as a response to concepts of reproduction and modernity. Active from the 1940s through to the 1990s, Maziarska was informed by science, phenomenology, mass photography, printed reproductions and newspapers clippings, out of which she developed autonomous structures. Jadwiga Maziarska (1913-2003) studied and lived in Krakow. She was a member of the second Krakow Group (Grupa Krakowska II), co-established by Tadeusz Kantor. She was known as an outsider, focused on her daring and progressive experimentation with various media.

Lisa Oppenheim: The Eternal Substitute

33,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Over the past two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a critically acclaimed practice that is deeply rooted in the field of photography while also constantly exploring its margins. She often focuses on the unexplored potential of the medium's artistic, technological, and sociopolitical histories. Combining material experimentation with archival research, Oppenheim transforms- or, in her words, "reprocesses"-images and ideas both recent and historical by employing creative mechanisms ranging from a host of photographic processes to other media such as textiles, film and video, and, most recently, sculpture. Published in conjunction with her exhibition Monsieur Steichen at MUDAM Luxembourg, this richly illustrated catalogue surveys Oppenheim's works from the past dozen years, and includes new texts by Darsie Alexander, Christophe Gallois, Jacob Proctor, and Bettina Steinbrugge, as well as a conversation between Lisa Oppenheim and artist Liz Deschenes. Lisa Oppenheim (*1975, New York) lives and works in New York City and holds degrees from Brown University, Bard College, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. She is represented by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York and Los Angeles and The Approach in London.

Amir Nave: Moharamia In The Jordan River

38,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Amir Nave's work oscillates between drawing, painting, and sculpture. He focuses on the human being, which he executes in an obsessive, spiritual, or even mystical manner. His "creatures" are figures sometimes depicted as a body, a head, or an entity. They draw on deeply buried pasts as well as possible futures. Even if some of his works are reminiscent of classics of art history and mythology, Nave refutes the idea of a painterly representation of life. In his take on the story of Moharamia, the artist tells of a revelation that appeared to the mortal Moharamia at the River of Jordan. Through his drawings, paintings, and the sculptural form he has constructed, he renders this tale into a reflection on occultism, the supernatural, and metaphysical questions. This first comprehensive monograph presents the most significant works by Amir Nave from the past decade. AMIR NAVE (*1974, in Be'er Sheva, Israel) is a self-taught artist based in Tel Aviv and Paris. His works are part of the collections of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Galerie In Situ-Fabienne Leclerc in Paris, and the Collections of the Centre Pompidou, Paris, among others. In 2024, he won the prestigious Drawing Prize of the Daniel and Florence Guerlain Foundation.

~~31,80€~~ 25,44€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The life of Scottish watercolourist William Alister Macdonald (1861-1956) contained more mystery and intrigue than a novel by the authors he knew as friends. Mid-life in the early 1900s he painted widely across Britain, Europe and North Africa. Aged sixty, abandoning his wife and son in London, he settled in Tahiti, where he befriended authors Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall and Zane Grey. Critical acclaim of his work peaked in 1935 with the discovery of over 120 watercolours capturing London streets and lost panoramas from the Thames, its river life and trade at the turn of the last century, now part of the Wakefield Collection at London''s Guildhall. Yet in Tahiti his reputation has endured with appreciation of his timeless, exquisite landscapes and studies of paradise. This first fully illustrated biography of Macdonald''s life provides a long-overdue opportunity for his European and Polynesian work to be reappraised and his story told.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Tragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident. The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not. People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one's life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.

Paul Cezanne: A To Z - A–Z

de James Rubin

14,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The incomparable play of light and color in Paul Cezanne''s work was the foundation of his reputation as a forerunner of modernism. From the start he went his own way, and his paintings initially evoked a lack of understanding in art critics of the time, as well as ridicule. Despite his Romantic, Baroque, Impressionist, and finally Classical influences, it is still difficult to ascribe Cezanne to any particular art movement. Still, which specific places left lasting impressions on the scion of a provincial banker''s family? What and who were major influences supporting and advancing his innovative oeuvre? James H. Rubin traces Cezanne''s life and work from A to Z in this brief volume, creating an image of a painter who wanted to transform painting itself. The author—and established connoisseur—succeeds in closely approaching the artist while at the same time maintaining the necessary distance to his inimitable paintings.PAUL CEZANNE (1839-1906) was one of the most influential painters in the early days of modernism and has often been described as a pioneer of Neues Sehen, or New Vision. His work still exercises undiminished influence to this day.JAMES H. RUBIN (*1944) is an art historian and professor at the State University of New York in Stony Brook.

Mohawk Rebel - Shelley Niro’S Art And New York State

de Claire Raymond

~~39,68€~~ 31,74€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An in-depth exploration of the photograph and film works of Mohawk artist Shelley Niro as they connect to New York State.Mohawk Rebel is an in-depth exploration of one of North America''s most important Indigenous artists. Claire Raymond''s compelling and well-researched book connects Niro''s lineage as a Turtle Clan woman to the artist''s oeuvre that evokes and represents the Mohawk people''s memory of and continuing relationship to the land now called New York State. With profound allegorical and metaphorical power, Niro''s virtuosic photographic and filmic works create layered temporal tapestries that weave the past and present in a new vision. The book offers fresh interpretations of many of Niro''s best-known works and brings into view some of her earlier lesser-known works. Raymond''s sensitive and nuanced interpretations of Niro''s art ultimately contend that Niro''s work agitates subtly but unmistakably for the ethical rightness of the land-back movement. Raymond eloquently argues that this Mohawk artist''s relationship to New York State is one of rightful claim.

Responding To Site - The Performance Work Of Marilyn Arsem

~~29,08€~~ 23,26€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book focuses on the performance art of Marilyn Arsem, an internationally acclaimed performance artist known for her innovative and experimental work. Arsem’s work addresses women’s history and myth-making capacities, the potency of site and geography, the idea of the audience as witnesses and the intimacy of one-to-one works. One of the most prolific performance artists working in the United States today, Arsem performs carefully choreographed durational actions that are developed site-responsively and range from deceptively simple interventions to elaborately orchestrated actions. This edited volume seeks to extend Arsem’s legacy beyond the audiences of her live performances and enter her work into the lexicon of the art world. Accompanied by 200 images, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of performance studies, feminist performance, feminist art history and performance history. It will also contribute to the history of alternative spaces and galleries, which is only now being written.I have had the privilege of knowing Marilyn for over 30 years. Her work has given me so many epiphanies about live art, time-based art practice and durational performance practice. How and why do you choose a single action and enact it over an extended period of time? How do you respond to site and create a sacred meditational zone; a reflexive space about the human condition? And most importantly, how do you teach future generations about the importance of living while making art as a spiritual and philosophical practice? This book is yet another example of Arsem’s legacy. Fundamental, I’d say.<ul><li>Guillermo Gómez-Peña</li></ul> Watching Marilyn Arsem perform can be a slow, careful, vulnerable and heart-stoppingly profound experience. To see her is to know better the complex, intermingling particularities of body, space, time, being and action. Reading this comprehensive, lucidly written and deeply insightful book - the first significant publication on Arsem’s practice as a performance artist - will enable new perspectives on a major artist’s work. It also sheds vivid light upon enduring themes for the critical encounter with art: duration and doing, materiality and nothingness, truth and representation, commitment and experiment, togetherness and solitude, experience and endurance.<ul><li>Dominic Johnson, Queen Mary University of London</li></ul>

The Reconciliation Of Modernism - Ceri Richards And The Second Generation, 1930-1945

de Dafydd W. Jones

~~33,11€~~ 26,49€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Modern art in Britain during the early twentieth century is a complex and compromised proposition. It has frequently appeared selective in its assimilation (or rejection) of European modernism, with the results proving uneven and sometimes flawed in coherence as well as quality - from an international outlook to a reductive vorticist blast, from an insular ‘English’ modernism to a purist abstraction, from a British neo-romanticism to an earnest accommodation of French surrealism. This book reads critically the context of modernist visual art in the interwar, conceding ultimately to the absence of one representative manifestation in order to account for circuits of ruptures and seizures from which emerge singular instances negotiating the radically new European modernism. The emergence of Ceri Richards as a modernist of remarkable originality in London between the wars poses one such singularity, setting the artist as focus for the present study in critical analysis of a globally trenchant avant-garde and aspects of art in Britain read as tributary to the greater European exchange.
