The Menils are best known for their very urbane collection of Surrealism (Magritte on cover) as well as their patronage of Earthworks and Post-Minimalism, but this book shows that their appetite for art is very broad indeed. Texas oil money buys a whole bunch of art. *** "The Menil Collection: A selection from the Paleolithic to the Modern Era presents works of art from the extraordinary private collection of Dominique and John de Menil, which was assembled over the last forty years. This book, and the new museum built to house the collection in Houston, Texas, for the first time make available to the public the content of The Menil Collection. The nearly 250 works shown here in color reproductions are, of couse, only a fraction of the collection's 10,000 items that include painting, drawings, prints and photographs, rare books, sculpture, and precious objects." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: 22 critical essays . . . art of ancient cultures; Medieval and Byzantine art; European painting, sixteenth-eighteeneth century; Image of the Black in Western art; Colonial art in the New World; Art of the tribal cultures; Twentieth Century art.

Softcover. Condición: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z / M : 264 pp., 249 ills. - This book traces the development of Pop Art in the fifties and sixties to the dialogue between British and American artists, documenting its complex genesis in London and later in New York and Los Angeles and concentrating on the development of its 'pure' characteristics, such as sharply outlined images and the use of photographic media and printing techniques.

Costello, Eileen, Bernice Rose, Kate Ganz et al. JASPER JOHNS: Catalogue Raisonné of Drawing. 6 volumes: 1850 pages, 926 color plates. 4tos, cloth in individual slipcases. Houston, Menil Collection, 2018. Six decades of both iconic and intimate works by Jasper Johns (b. 1930), who is still producing at the age of 88, are given their full due in this magnificent multi-volume publication. Featuring exquisite full-page illustrations of all 813 known drawings by Johns, more than 200 of which have not been published or exhibited, the volumes demonstrate how Johns has been instrumental in elevating and establishing drawing as a major medium in contemporary art, and his drawings chart his artistic interests and aesthetic evolution. Five volumes are dedicated to the drawings, documenting materials and listing exhibition and publication histories, and the large-scale reproductions feature special production details. These include the use of special inks, such as a combination with silver for graphite works and custom mixes to represent particular colors, ensuring that the reproductions are as faithful as possible with state-of-the-art printing technology. The sixth volume includes an exhibition chronology and bibliography focused on drawings, as well as indexes to the set.…
