Hardback. Condición: New.

Hardback. Condición: New. In Seaside Shelters, Will Scott documents and celebrates the wide variety of shelters adorning the British seasides. A testament to the heyday of British summer holidays and the country's notorious fickle weather, the shelters now mostly stand deserted. Scott's talented eye captures the, at times faded, beauty of the buildings. Most of the shelters were built in the late-19th and early-20th century and cover a wealth of architectural styles, from Victorian to Art Deco to Bauhaus. Locations range from iconic seaside resorts to lesser-known gems along the coast, including Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, the Isle of Wight, Clacton-on-Sea, Portsmouth, Aberystwyth, Swanage and Cromer.

Paperback. Condición: New. Since the early 1960s, Gerhard Richter has tirelessly explored the infinite possibilities of painting and gained status as a highly-celebrated artist worldwide. STRIP-TOWER (962), 2023, expands on the artist's enduring investigations of painting, photography, digital reproduction and abstraction. Building on his series of Abstract Paintings from the 1970s onwards, and Strip Paintings made since 2011, with STRIPTOWER (962) the artist moves his explorations into three dimensions. Created using glossy ceramic tiles that clad two perpendicular panels to create a cruciform structure of 12 faces, Marcus du Sautoy describes the work as a piece of 'complexity and simplicity'; its vertically stripes hiding a deeper, symmetrical process. This book commemorates the first public presentation of the work which was organised by Serpentine in London's Kensington Gardens from April 2024 to February 2025.

Paperback. Condición: New. HENI Publishing is delighted to present INVADER: In Conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, a book that offers unique insight into the enigmatic French street artist, renowned for his iconic ceramic tile mosaics inspired by the pixelated 8-bit video game art of the 1970s and 80s.INVADER features an expansive, in-depth interview conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, which guides readers through the artist's recent Paris exhibition, Invader Space Station (17 February - 5 May 2024), in the first section and through his studio in the second, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Invader's technical and creative processes, and the global impact of his work. The first section of the book traces the route of the exhibition - held at the former offices of the newspaper Libération- with sub-chapters corresponding to the 'levels' of the show, reflecting on the conceptual and spatial dimensions of Invader's work and his position as a 'hacker' of public spaces. The second section takes place in the artist's studio where the conversation continues on a more personal note, offering an intimate look into Invader's creative world. Richly illustrated, the book maps Invader's numerous artistic encounters, from the graphic novels of Enki Bilal to legendary street artists like Leonard Hilton McGurr (aka Futura 2000) and Tsang Tsou-choi (the 'King of Kowloon'), as well as his relationships with contemporaries including the provocative British artist Damien Hirst, American artist and activist Shepard Fairey and New York graffiti artist Revs.

Hardback. Condición: New. Focal Points is a new book series of essays, articles and reviews, by acclaimed curator and critic Robert Storr. Expertly edited by art historian and curator Francesca Pietropaolo, and richly illustrated, it lends Storr's illuminating insights into some of the critical themes across recent decades that are of timely urgency. Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art. This volume grapples with one of the most critical topics at the heart of culture in the United States: racial division. In the essay, originally produced in 1994 when Storr lived in the diverse neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn and worked as a curator in the then predominantly white, male world of New York's Museum of Modern Art, the author vividly describes the role of the modern art museum and multiculturalism, and analyses issues of identity and representation explored in the works of a range of artists including David Hammons, Byron Kim, Glenn Ligon and Adrian Piper, among others.

Hardback. Condición: New. How can we interpret the work of contemporary artists? Focal Points is a new book series of essays, articles and reviews by acclaimed curator and critic Robert Storr. Expertly edited by art historian and curator Francesca Pietropaolo, and richly illustrated, it lends Storr's illuminating insights into an artist's practice and way of thinking across recent decades. Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art. This volume considers the work of American abstract painter Ad Reinhardt (1913-1967). Active in New York for over three decades, Reinhardt was part of the group of artists who became known as Abstract Expressionists, and he made work that would prove influential to the younger generation of Minimal and Conceptual artists. He believed in a philosophy of what he called 'art-as-art' and used his writing and satirical cartoons to advocate for abstract art. As he famously wrote in 1962: 'Art is art-as-art and everything else is everything else.' In this volume, Storr discusses Reinhardt's painting, his comics, and his slide lecture series or 'non-happenings,' as the artist called them.

Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art.Through a selection of texts spanning from 1986 to 2016, volume one brings together thirty years of Storr's writings on American artist Bruce Nauman (b.1941) whose practice encompasses sculpture, photography, neon, drawing, printmaking and performance. Much of Nauman's work makes use of language games and visual puns, influenced by the linguistic theories of twentieth-century thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein and by the work of writer, poet and playwright Samuel Beckett. Describing his work in 1970, Nauman said: 'Sometimes the activity involves making something, and sometimes the activity is the piece.'.

Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art.This volume gathers, for the first time, Storr's writings on the work of American painter Jasper Johns (b.1930). An artist internationally recognised for his encaustic paintings of flags, targets and maps, Johns's 'Neo-Dada' works helped to formalise a shift in postwar American art, moving away from Abstract Expressionism and towards Pop art. Storr's essays and articles provide a unique look at Johns's practice and its continuing relevance. As Pietropaolo notes in her introduction, 'Together, these writings . encapsulate Storr's process of close looking at and prolonged thinking about Johns's art, the result of a longstanding engagement that started back in the late 1960s . when he first met the artist in New York.'.

Paperback. Condición: New. Selected as one of the "best art books of 2024" by Martin Gayford, The Spectator.A visual survey featuring a curated chronological selection of 90 artworks from Pop art to now, from the witty and the political to the beautiful and the conceptual. From pioneers Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana and Lynn Hershman Leeson to contemporary artists Jeremy Deller, Lubaina Himid, Damien Hirst, Kerry James Marshall, MSCHF, Cornelia Parker, Grayson Perry and many more; a key work by each artist is illustrated and accompanied by a short explanatory text by art historian, David Trigg.As an inescapable aspect of everyday life, money has appeared in the background of art throughout its history within the context of mythological, biblical and historic scenes - from Danaë and the shower of golden coins, to the 30 pieces of silver for which Judas betrayed Jesus. In the last seventy years however, as consumer culture has spread internationally, many artists have given money the centre stage in their work to reflect on various economic, political, social and symbolic concerns that relate to different currencies and formats. In some of these artworks, physical money - banknotes and coins plus cheques and credit cards - is the actual art material, used by artists to question and subvert notions of value or to examine the aesthetics of these quotidian objects. As the world enters an age of decentralised, virtual currencies, artists have been quick to respond to the creative potential of this new economy, from Sarah Meyohas's creation of her own digital currency, Bitchcoin (2015), to Damien Hirst's The Currency (2021-22) which offered 10,000 art collectors the choice between owning a physical painting or an NFT - with the corresponding element being destroyed - to explore the boundaries between art and currency, and question ideas of value.An introductory essay sets the scene with an historical overview of money in art, whisking readers from ancient Greek pots and Renaissance paintings by Titian, Rembrandt and Gentileschi, to Dutch genre scenes, still lifes and early twentieth-century Dada collages, and the book opens with a foreword by Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and current Prime Minister of Canada.
