Hardcover. Condición: Sehr gut. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 28 x 30 cm, 128 Seitenpages with 63 color & 2 bw. illustrations. - The politics of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East is the subject of Truth Before Power, Jenny Holzer's recent Kunsthaus Bregenz project. The complicated dialectic of decision-making and public debate, as it has unfolded through the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and George W. Bush, is explored in texts devoted to such issues as the international trade in arms and oil, the war on terrorism, 9/11, the FBI and CIA, and Congress's oversight of the intelligence community. For the most part, the installation's text has been taken verbatim from U.S. government documents--many of which were classified at the time they were written. Under the landmark Freedom of Information Act passed in 1966, all are now public record, though some remain heavily redacted. This illustrated catalogue includes selections from declassified U.S. government documents, Henri Cole's poem To the Forty-third President, and highlights fro.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Large quarto. 118pp. Bibliography and text in German. Black cloth lettered in gray. Illustrated throughout with impressionistic photos and plans of modern architectural icons, (and a few seascapes and historical wax figures). A fine, as new copy, still in publisher's shrinkwrap. This catalog was published in conjunction with the beginning of an exhibition first held at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Sept. 27, 2001- Jan. 6, 2002. Hiroshi Sugimoto has two recurring obsessions: history and time. This series of large-scale black-and-white photographs dissolves the lines between time, memory, and history in icons of modernist architecture as disparate as the United Nations Headquarters by Wallace K. Harrison, Luis Barraagan's Satellite Towers, the Saint Benedict Chapel by Peter Zumthor and Minoru Yamazaki's World Trade Center.

Softcover. Condición: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 155 Seiten/pgs, 76 farbige Abbildungen/illustrations in color. - Talk about sibling ribaldry. Self-professed enfants terribles and brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman enrage some with their art and reduce others to laughter, but no one is neutral about these British provocateurs. The series documented here, including the "Sex" and "Death" sculptures and an installation created for this exhibition, present the bad boys at their most scabrous--and beautifully printed. In a counterintuitive titling, "Sex" shows decomposing bodies swarming with flies and maggots; "Death" depicts blow-up sex dolls engaging in lewd acts. Seriousness of purpose, however, underlies the gut-punching shock, and essays here, as well as drawings and plans never seen before, illuminate the artists' work process. The dolls, for example, are cast in bronze and painted to resemble their original plastic, thus bringing a stolid permanence to a flimsy contemporary commodity.
