‎Inner : The Collected Writings and Selected Interviews of Sean Scully‎

‎, Hatje Cantz, 2016 Hardcover, 336 pages, ENG, 265 x 195 x 33 mm, New, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9783775741644.‎

‎Sean Scully (born 1945) is among the greatest abstract painters of our age. He is also one of the most outspoken. Since the late 1960s, Scully's visual expressiveness has been matched by a verbal dynamism that is no less arresting than his art. Varying widely in form from brief reflections to essay-length meditations on artists such as Van Gogh, Morandi and Rothko, Scully's writings are distinguished by a brutal lyricism and an effortlessly aphoristic turn of phrase. The nearly 200 texts that comprise this collection provide a unique perspective on one of the most engaging artistic imaginations of the past half-century. Here, readers will discover the effusions of a mind tirelessly wrestling with the profoundest issues of art, cultural history and what it means to be a creator in the contemporary world. The texts are illustrated by images including facsimile reproductions of handwritten pages which also feature drawings.‎

‎DUCHAMP'S ENDGAME D rer, da Vinci, Poussin and Ingres‎

‎, Mercatorfonds, 2024 HB, 250 x 190 mm, 192 p, 200 illustrations, ENG edition. ISBN 9789462303737.‎

‎In 1912 was Marcel Duchamp ontgoocheld in de Franse kunstscene. Daarom verliet hij Parijs en bracht hij drie maanden in M nchen door. Hij beschrijft deze periode als de plaats van zijn 'complete bevrijding' en ze zette de toon voor de rest van zijn leven. Het was in M nchen dat hij besloot om te stoppen met schilderen en in plaats daarvan readymades te maken. De hele loop van de 20ste-eeuwse kunstgeschiedenis veranderde als direct gevolg van deze 'complete bevrijding' en toch weten we niet wat er toen gebeurd is, behalve dat Duchamp twee kleine schilderijen en enkele tekeningen maakte. Honderd jaar later was de Zuid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar Kendell Geers in M nchen om een retrospectieve tentoonstelling op te stellen in het Haus der Kunst, en hij kwam in een depressie terecht door zijn eigen ontgoocheling in de kunstscene. 'Duchamp's Endgame' is een persoonlijk boek over een kunstenaar die naar het werk van een andere kunstenaar kijkt en probeert om een honderd jaar oud enigma te doorgronden, te doorgronden wat het betekent o"Duchamp's Endgame" answers the century old question, what did Marcel Duchamp do in Munich in 1912 and why did he stop painting ? The book follows a visual logic driven by the question of how artists construct their imagery. In 1912 Marcel Duchamp was disillusioned with the French art scene, so leaves Paris and spent 3 months in Munich. He describes this period as the scene of his "complete liberation" and it set the tone for the rest of his life. It was in Munich that he decided to stop painting and instead create readymade works of art. The entire course of twentieth century art history changes as a direct result of this "complete liberation" and yet we know absolutely nothing about what happened, except that Duchamp created 2 small paintings and a few drawings. One hundred years later, South African artist Kendell Geers was in Munich to install a retrospective at the Haus der Kunst, and fell into a depression on account of his own disillusionment with the art scene. "Duchamp's Endgame" is a personal book about one artist looking at the work of another artist, trying to make sense of a century old enigma, trying to make sense of what it means to be an artist. Geers offers a unique reading of Duchamp that takes the reader on a labyrinthine journey through art history, revealing how one generation of artists secretly looked at another generation artists, all the way back to Leonardo da Vinci via Cranach, Poussin, Ingres and Durer. "Duchamp's Endgame" is a passionate story about art and the real life art historical version of the "Da Vinci Code" written by a contemporary artist with his tongue firmly in our cheek. A century after Duchamp declared painting is dead, nobody has yet offered any evidence beyond conjecture what he meant by that statement. Kendell Geers uses the works of art themselves as visual evidence to explain what Duchamp was looking at and researching during his 3 month stay in Munich. The book follows the links between works of art created by 5 generations of artists, explored through the eyes of the artists themselves. "Duchamp's Endgame" is entirely divergent from the official art historical canon on Marcel Duchamp in arguing that he was the last of a long line of classical European painters and not the American iconoclast of his reputation. The book focuses on the way artists think about other artists and argues that art historians have paid more attention to quoting each other, rather than taking the time to look at the actual works of art. Kendell Geers has published in numerous art historical journals as well as contributed to books and conferences. In 2022 he presented a paper on African Art at a conference in Harvard University and in 2023 published an essay in Gavin Jantjes' retrospective catalogue for The Africa Institute and Sharjah Art Foundation. The book draws upon statements and quotes from Marcel Duchamp, but is entirely the author's own theory. The publication accompanies a solo exhibition at Wilde Gallery in Basel presented during the Basel Art Fair. ‎

‎Il libro dedicato all'opera architettonica di Luigi Snozzi, architetto svizzero dal linguaggio colto ed essenziale. Il linguaggio di Snozzi quello asciutto e colto dell?architettura ticinese. Nato a Mendrisio nel 1932, rifiuta qualsiasi eccesso retorico in nome dell?essenzialit . Le sue prime costruzioni, risalenti agli anni Sessanta, sono definite ?neorealiste? da Kenneth Frampton, autore in questo volume del saggio che ripercorre le tappe principali della sua carriera. Segue lo scritto di Vittorio Gregotti ?Sulle tracce dell?architettura?, in cui il radicalismo di Snozzi viene messo a confronto con il rifiuto di ogni ?illusionismo stilistico-conciliativo? catteristico del metodo di Alvaro Siza. Infine il catalogo delle opere dal 1957 al 1984, la cui suddivisione scandita da brevi frasi dello stesso Snozzi; emergono con chiarezza l?attenta analisi dei fenomeni urbani e paesaggistici, nonch il rapporto dialettico con Kahn e con le pi importanti esperienze coeve dell?architettura internazionale: ?Il progetto, prima che strumento di trasformazione, strumento di conoscenza?.‎

‎Il faut voir l'aube, les pyramides de Gizeh pour comprendre l' tonnement qu'inspirent encore au monde les r alisations de l'Egypte antique. Cet empire dirig par des dieux-rois omnipotents et h r ditaires, cette soci t sophistiqu e qui s' panouit plus de trois mille ans, exercent une fascination perp tuelle, un attrait exotique qu' voque superbement ce formidable portrait. Voici Karnak, Louqsor et la Vall e des Rois ; voici encore le Nil ternel, au bord duquel viennent notre rencontre les figures l gendaires de Toutankhamon, de N fertiti, de Rams s et de Cl op tre, parmi des milliers d'autres Egyptiens, grands et modestes - des humbles marchands et agriculteurs aux pharaons des 31 dynasties immortalis s par des monuments qui comptent parmi les plus envo tants du monde. Ouvrage complet, haut en couleurs, L'Egypte des pharaons est tout la fois une ambitieuse chronique et l' l gante c l bration d'un monde fabuleux, dont l' clat perdure vingt si cles plus tard. Embrassant plus de trois mill naires, travers s par les noms les plus illustres de Rams s, de N fertiti et de Toutankhamon, L'Egypte des pharaons brosse un magnifique portrait de cette culture antique laquelle nous devons les pyramides, le Sphinx et d'innombrables merveilles. A l'aube de cette grande civilisation, une mosa que de royaumes tait tablie dans la plaine fertile du Nil. Ce livre est une ambitieuse chronique qui retrace la construction de l'Egypte et l' dification d'un Empire qui dura trois mille ans. De somptueuses photographies restituent la grandeur de la Vall e des Rois, la beaut des reliefs et font revivre les pharaons, les pr tres et les danseuses, ainsi que le spectacle plurimill naire des felouques sillonnant le Nil. Le captivant r cit de Brian Fagan ne s'en tient pas aux figures l gendaires, aux v nements majeurs et aux r alisations colossales de l'Egypte ; l'auteur explore tous les aspects d'une soci t lettr e, extr mement organis e, dont l'apport l'histoire de l'humanit fut essentiel. Tandis que se succ dent les dynasties, nous voyons voluer une religion complexe, domin e par la figure d'un dieu-roi dont les sujets se consacr rent, g n ration apr s g n ration, l' dification de monuments sacr s. Nous visitons Memphis et Th bes, Karnak et Louqsor, assistons aux co teux rituels glorifiant Isis, Osiris ou ces pharaons immortels pour qui furent b ties des cit s de mausol es. Dans le m me temps, se d voile la vie quotidienne du petit peuple, gouvern e par les rythmes immuables du Nil et de ses saisons. Et mesure que se d roule l' pop e, nous rencontrons galement les aventuriers, les arch ologues et les savants qui en ont assembl les fragments, de Jean-Fran ois Champollion, d codant la pierre de Rosette, Howard Carter, bloui par la splendeur longtemps ensevelie de la tombe de Toutankhamon.

‎LUC TUYMANS Glasses‎

‎, BAI / National Portrait Gallery, 2016 HB, 294 x 193 mm, 96 p, 35 colour illustrations English edition. ISBN 9789085867258.‎

‎The work of the painter Luc Tuymans (1958) is an ongoing investigation of images and the flood of images in which we are immersed on a daily basis; of how people and things appear to us; and of the gap between representation and reality. Because glasses help shape the way someone looks, such an apparently obvious instrument is important to an artist and image researcher. However incidental they may seem to be, glasses help determine how we 'read' a person's identity. In Glasses, Luc Tuymans and the MAS bring together an exquisite selection of more than twenty works. They include portraits, both of 'nameless people' and of historical figures, and other works, and they have never been seen together before. The selection includes iconic works from Tuymans' oeuvre, whose major themes include Nazism, colonialism and nationalism. In the series Die Zeit, the SS man Heydrich hides his face behind dark glasses, the young Baudouin steps off a plane in L opoldville concealed by his sunglasses, the laughing American family man Milteer, with eyes wide open behind his glasses, is an extremist and racist, and the face of Flemish author Ernest Claes becomes a kind of blank mask with glasses.‎

‎Het werk van schilder Luc Tuymans (1958) is een permanent onderzoek naar beelden en de beeldenstorm die dagelijks over ons waait. Naar hoe de mensen en dingen zich aan ons voordoen. Naar de kloof tussen representatie en realiteit. Omdat een bril de aanblik van iemand mee vormgeeft, is zo'n ogenschijnlijk vanzelfsprekend instrument voor een kunstenaar-onderzoeker van beelden belangrijk. Een bril bepaalt mee hoe we iemands identiteit 'lezen', hoe bijkomstig hij ook lijkt. Luc Tuymans en het MAS brengen met Glasses een exquise selectie van meer dan twintig werken samen. Het gaat om portretten, zowel van 'mensen zonder naam' als van historische figuren, en andere werken. Nooit eerder waren ze samen te zien. De selectie bevat iconische werken uit Tuymans' oeuvre, waarin onder meer nazisme, kolonialisme en nationalisme belangrijke thema's zijn. SS'er Heydrich maskeert in de reeks Die Zeit zijn gezicht achter een donkere bril, de jonge Boudewijn stapt verborgen door een zonnebril uit het vliegtuig in L opoldville, de lachende Amerikaanse huisvader Milteer met vergrote ogen achter zijn bril is een extremist-racist, het gezicht van de Vlaamse schrijver Ernest Claes wordt een soort leeg masker-met-bril...‎

‎William Kentridge Prints‎

‎Johannesburg, David Krut Publishing, 2006 Softcover, 159 pages, 28 x 26 cm, ENG fine ISBN 9780958486040.‎

‎Although William Kentridge is now well known for his films, drawings, and theatre productions, he began his artistic career learning etching at the Johannesburg Art Foundation under Bill Ainslie. He spent two years teaching printmaking at this Foundation and his earliest exhibitions featured his monotypes and etchings such as the Domestic Scenes series. William Kentridge Prints is the first book to focus specifically on Kentridge's formidable print oeuvre, filling a gap in published work on the artist to date. It is also the first major publication on William Kentridge to be published in South Africa. The book includes over 180 works and presents the full range and complexity of Kentridge's printmaking, from his linocuts of the 1970s to his recent sophisticated and distinctive Thinking Aloud drypoints created while he was working on his production of Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, which premiered in Brussels in April 2005. David Krut began publishing William Kentridge editions in the 1990s and in 1997 compiled and edited a CD-ROM on the artist, the first publication on Kentridge to address the full range and complexity of his work. Krut compiled and edited the final print list for this book and contributed the Introduction, which gives a brief history of Kentridge's projects and collaborations with printers. The publication of this book coincides with a travelling exhibition that opened at the Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College, Iowa in late 2004 and travels to other museums in the United States through 2007. William Kentridge Prints includes a Foreword by Lesley Wright, Director of the Faulconer Gallery at Grinnell College, the Introduction for the original exhibition catalogue by Kay Wilson, Curator of the Faulconer Collection, and an essay by the award-winning poet, critic, and translator Susan Stewart, Professor of English at Princeton University. Stewart has published four books of poetry and several critical texts including The Open Studio: Essays on Art and Aesthetics (University of Chicago Press, January 2005). In addition, the book includes a series of rare personal commentaries by Kentridge that give wonderful insight into the ideas and working methods of an obsessive and highly sophisticated printmaker.‎
