"Books on artists tend to focus primarily either on their work or on their lives. Rarely does a publication come along that engages fully with both. Judith Zilczer's beautifully written book makes clear the way in which de Kooning's life cannot be separated from his work - his life and his art profoundly illuminate one another. If you truly want to appreciate the innovative accomplishments of de Kooning, this book is essential." - Kerry Brougher, Interim Director and Chief Curator, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden"[Zilczer's] achievement in "A Way of Living" is to connect, aesthetically and biographically, every phase of his protean production, united by what she sees as a romantic imperative: de Kooning's mantra that 'painting - any kind of painting, any style of painting - to be painting at all, in fact - is a way of living, a style of living' . . .Her empathetic, generous account, which wears its learning lightly but demonstrates incisive thought, becomes first port of call for an overview of this most alluring, influential, still controversial artist." - "Financial Times" (UK)"The traditional monograph seems an endangered species these days; one that gets everything right is rare enough to qualify as an art publishing event. "A Way of Life: The Art of Willem de Kooning" is an evenhanded, authoritative, and critically informed account of the great painter's achievement." - "Bookforum"

En Sol LeWitt: Libros. El concepto como arte se ha reunido la casi totalidad de las publicaciones que el artista realizó personalmente: libros, carteles, tarjetas y otros materiales efímeros que le permitieron convertir las ideas en obras de arte autonomas gracias a la composicion tipografica y a la claridad de sus depurados diseños minimalistas.

Alex Katz first emerged on the New York art scene during the heyday of Abstract Expressionism and before the birth of Pop art, but always worked independently of these movements. Katz is best known for his distinctive portraits of sophisticated, irresistible women, masterfully painted using precise, broad areas of colour. Alongside these unmistakably Katzian female portraits are pictures of men, groups, landscapes and interiors, rendered in paint on canvas or metal cut-outs as well as drawing and collage. All attest to the artists attention to detail, economy of means and consummate technique.Larger-than-life paintings such as The Black Dress (1960), Blue Umbrella (1972), Red Coat (1982) and White Visor (2003) have entered the collective consciousness as the epitome of a particular, late twentieth-century feminine ideal. A major touring retrospective was organized by New Yorks Whitney Museum of American Art in 1986, and Katz has exhibited widely all over the world. His works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate, London; the Musee National dArt Moderne, Paris; and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin, among many others.A leading world expert on Katz, distinguished New York art critic Carter Ratcliff writes the definitive, comprehensive Survey, following Katzs work from the 1950s to the present. In the Interview New York-based curator and critic Robert Storr discusses in detail with the artist his practice and technique in the context of a changing art world. Curator Iwona Blazwick enters in her Focus the silent world of Sylvia (1962-63), a classic Katz portrait that resonates with the urban landscape occupied by both artist and sitter. For Artists Choice Katz has selected nine works by New York School Poets, all of whom share a particular, often personal connection to his work. Artists Writings range from an early text from 1959 on Katzs dislike of the term academy to a recent text that reflects on his beginnings as an artist. Key interviews with some of the of the twentieth centurys most prestigious art figures including critic David Sylvester and artists Francesco Clemente, Jane Freilicher and Richard Prince are also included.

Desde Ingres a Matisse, entregados a su pasión, olvidando a menudo sus responsabilidades, sometidos al vaivén de los celos y a la tiranía de su narcisismo, los genios que desfilan en este libro de relatos, se revelan tan humanos y dolientes como cualquiera, sometidos a los vaivenes de la fortuna, del desamor o el interes, pero tocados por la gracia de su arte, se redimen ante el mundo.

This volume provides invaluable insight into the life and work of leading Photorealist painter, Richard EstesIcons of contemporary American realism, the works of Richard Estes have established him as one of the pre-eminent realist painters of his generation. Photorealism emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, deliberately flouting the prevailing abstraction that dominated the American art scene. Estes was at the forefront of this new photographically derived and inspired imagery, which appeared at a time when even the very existence of painting was being challenged by modernist art critics.The apparent simplicity of Estess paintings is deceptive. They show us the world anew not as we experience it, not as the camera records it, but as the artist interprets and recreates it. Beginning with his early depictions of urban life in reflective surfaces such as windows and highly polished cars, this new monograph brings the story right up to date with his eerily beautiful landscapes and waterscapes painted in locations as varied as Antarctica and on-board the Staten Island ferry. The range of themes and works provides a splendid introduction to this celebrated artist.

Regarded as the greatest British artist of his generation and represented in museum collections all over the world, Anthony Caro revolutionized sculpture in the 1960s, by taking the radical step of removing the plinth and placing his work directly on the ground not only changed our relationship with the artwork, but the direction of sculpture itself.This beautifully designed book includes a comprehensive survey of Caro''s work over a period of more than half a century ranging from his time as Henry Moore''s assistant in the early 1950s right up until his death in 2013.More than fifty of his masterworks are each examined in detail through never before published archival installation images and comments by the artist from the time of production or exhibition. Furthermore, a collection of specially commissioned new documentary photographs by Toby Glanville capture the processes behind the sculptors work, from conception to production to installation and exhibition in major exhibitions and installations.A collection of short texts by leading contemporary artists, including Anish Kapoor, Richard Deacon, Rachel Whiteread and Antony Gormley demonstrate the influence of Caro''s work, and a series of key essays by renowned critics and art historians, such as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried, provide an unparalleled overview of his career and complete this intimate celebration of the artist.

Ramón Losa es un artista tan fascinante como poco conocido, creador de un universo de proporciones extremadas, fulgurante y dedálico, dotado de un lirismo tan abisal como quebradizo y cuya prolífica, desbordada obra pictorica, grafica y escrita, ha logrado manifestarse con una extraordinaria adecuacion entre su lenguaje y su contenido. Esta obra artistica se ha desarrollado desde una condicion mental diagnosticada como esquizofrenia, y aunque no podemos hablar de un estilo artistico esquizofrenico, algunas de las caracteristicas mas notables de la obra de nuestro artista, tanto en sus diferentes lenguajes graficos como en sus testimonios escritos, proceden esencialmente del peculiar modo en que vive y recrea el mundo que le rodea y el propio.

Primera retrospectiva completa sobre Josef Alberts en España. La simplicidad y perspectiva del artista y su experimentación sobre el color son los ejes de esta muestra.

Fusing naturalism with abstraction, the intimate with the monumental and the corporeal with the cosmic, Georgia O''Keeffe (18871986) made the subject of nature wholly her own. One of the most inventive painters of her generation, OKeeffes highly personal version of modernism is a key component of twentieth-century American art.From her early charcoal abstracts and radiant West Texas watercolours through to the triumph of her renowned flower paintings and surrealist-inspired portrayals of bones and clouds in New Mexico, OKeeffes art reflects the solace she found in nature, prizing its capacity to amaze and inspire. This book illustrates OKeeffes work within the context of her husband Alfred Stieglitzs artistic circle, as well as within the broader history of American and European modernism. The result is an insightful account of the art and life of this pioneering female artist.

El affaire de Burroughs y Warhol tiene como núcleo una serie reuniones celebradas entre ambos artistas en 1980 en Nueva York, a los cuales se les unen ocasionalmente otros intervinientes, figuras de primera linea del pop como Mick Jagger, Blondie o Lou Reed. Las conversaciones fueron organizadas y conducidas por Victor Bockris, colaborador de Andy Warhol en su revista Interview y biografo, entre otros, del propio Warhol y de William Burroughs. Con un planteamiento muy informal, que consigue mostrar la humanidad de ambos personajes, y repleto de humor, El affaire de Burroughs y Warhol es una lectura divertida y reflexiva a partes iguales, combinando la poderosa personalidad de las mentes pensantes mas influyentes del arte en el siglo XX.

El alemán Carl Einstein (1885-1940) fue el primer crítico de arte en comprender el carácter revolucionario, y no sólo para la Historia del Arte, de la propuesta cubista lanzada desde París, en 1907,

Esta publicación, monografía del artista visual Fernando García Correa, forma parte del proyecto de exposición retrospectiva que tuvo lugar en el Museo de Arte Moderno de la Ciudad de México (13 de diciembre de 2012 al 14 de abril de 2013), en el que se reviso la produccion desarrollada por el artista en los ultimos 12 años.El trabajo de Fernando Garcia Correa discurre en el contexto de la pintura abstracta posminimalista. A traves de elementos graficos elementales, como la linea y el punto, desarrolla un complejo entramado de series en el que no se establece ni una secuencia temporal concreta, ya que han sido desarrolladas de manera alterna a lo largo de los años, ni un cierre o final para las mismas, dado que el autor sigue trabajando algunas de ellas.Por medio de la seriacion y la secuencia de estos elementos graficos, se construye un entramado pictorico en el que la mano del artista aporta la distorsion a la pauta, la corrupcion a la norma, generando asi nuevas posibilidades de desarrollo.
