100 Works of Art That Will Define Our Age

«From his phrasing of its title to his choices of artists and the works by them, if nothing else will get people arguing over the art of their time, Grovier’s book will.» ?San Francisco Chronicle Just as Picasso’s Guernica or Gericault’s Raft of the Medusa survive as powerful cultural documents of their time, certain artworks from our own era will endure for generations to come. Kelly Grovier curates a compelling list of one hundred paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, performances, and video pieces that have made the greatest impact from 1989 to the present. The global cast of artists includes Marina Abramović, Matthew Barney, Christian Boltanski, Louise Bourgeois, Maurizio Cattelan, Marlene Dumas, Olafur Eliasson, Andreas Gursky, Cristina Iglesias, On Kawara, Jeff Koons, Ernesto Neto, Gerhard Richter, Pipilotti Rist, Kara Walker, and Ai Weiwei. Many of the pieces reflect the cultural upheavals of recent times, from the collapse of the Berlin Wall to the blossoming of the Arab Spring. A daring yet convincing analysis of which artworks best capture the zeitgeist of our time, Grovier’s list also provides a much-needed map through the landscape of contemporary art. Illustrations of key works are supplemented by comparative images by different artists, sometimes in different periods, while short texts offer a biography of each artwork, tracing its inception and impact, and offering a view not only into the imagination of the artist but into the age in which we live. 242 illustrations, 223 in color»

Автор: Hack Jefferson
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2010

PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ
|
At the vanguard of fashion, design and art, Another Magazine has, over the past decade, become known for its signature fusion of fashion photography and classic portraiture: a sultry Uma Thurman, for instance, half of her face covered with a delicate butterfly mask, or Christina Ricci defiantly taking a pair of scissors to her own ponytail. Published bi-annually, each cover is instantly iconic, featuring portraits of cultural figures as they've never been seen before. Another Portrait Book includes a stellar selection of these celebrity shots — Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow among them, as well as portraits of figures from the worlds of music, literature and art, such as Gore Vidal, Bjork, Lucian Freud, Patti Smith, Marianne Faithful and Kate Moss, captured by the world's most iconoclastic photographers. Another Portrait Book is the second of a three-volume set published by the popular periodical. Following Another Fashion Book, this edition will in turn be followed by Another Art Book, to be released in the spring of 2010. This Another Books series is edited by Jefferson Hack, co-founder of the Dazed Group, which publishes Dazed & Confused, Another Magazine and Another Man.

An introduction to the art of decorative patterning, of equal value to craftworkers, collectors and students of art history.

An impressive variety of ornament from the paleolithic age to the present day enables the reader to appreciate both its inherent form and beauty. Individual styles and patterns are traced through their evolution and interaction between cultures through trade, conquest and religious influences.

Santiago Calatrava: The Poetics of Movement
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Tzonis Alexander
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2000
|
PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ
|
Santiago Calatrava offers in his numerous buildings, engineering projects, sculptures and furniture designs, a cultural vision that unifies art, science and technology. This work presents the Spanish architect's oeuvre and ideas in the context of contemporary architecture and society. His demanding technical projects are shown to spark off highly abstract sculptural essays, which in turn serve as a research laboratory for the development of innovative engineering. After tracing the roots of Calatrava's design in Spanish traditions and 20th-century intellectual struggles, the author focuses on the development of major infrastructure projects and urban complexes where pragmatic efficiency and technical rationality are combined with engineering and aesthetics. The book discusses approximately 25 projects, including his most recent work, fully documented with photographs, drawings and sketches. Calatrava's work can be interpreted as a paradigm for contemporary design: this book shows that to achieve more integrated cities and landscapes, current boundaries between art, architecture and engineering must be blurred.

Wright Style: Interiors of Frank L. Wright
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Lind
Издательство: Thames&Hudson
|
PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ
|
Here is a breathtaking look at the endlessly popular works of Frank Lloyd Wright. This great American architect regarded his houses as symphonies, each composed as a beautiful whole down to the smallest detail. He shaped not just the shell, but everything that went with it: furniture, skylights, art glass windows, light fixtures, textiles, carpets, murals, decorative accessories, even the surrounding landscape. The Wright Style offers an extraordinary guided tour of more than forty houses, from Frank Lloyd Wright's own homes in Oak Park, Illinois, and at the two Taliesins in Wisconsin and Arizona, via classic residences such as the Fallingwater, Wingspread and Hollyhock houses, to the creations of a dozen other architects — including Rudolf Schindler, John Lautner and Fay Jones — who have continued the tradition in startling new ways. All of Wright's periods are represented, and the many colour illustrations show how present-day occupants harmonize and live with their glorious dwellings. A full catalogue of products lists items available today, from sofas and tables to rugs and wallpapers, that will help re-create the unique Wright ambience. Wright's influence on 20th-century architecture and design has been immense. His ideas pervade our domestic environments, seamlessly integrated into the fabric of everyday life. This guide enables us to recapture in its original unity one of the most significant interior design styles of the modern age.

Man Ray: Trees + Flowers — Insects Animals
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Издательство: Thames&Hudson
|
DOC, 368 страниц, 1.00 МБ
|
Locked away in enormous bank vaults and largely removed from public scrutiny for more than a decade, the collection of the little-known Man Ray Trust is comprised of more than 4,000 works by the great photographer and artist. Man Ray: Trees & Flowers--Insects & Animals is an archival project that draws extensively on this collection. The title of the series was found scrawled across the back of a photograph, and it conveys the indexical nature of this most unusual archive. For Man Ray, the photographs functioned as a research index to the themes and motifs that he employed in better-known works, with subjects including castles and ruined buildings, street scenes, various found objects and records of his travels and observations in Europe and the United States. In other words, they represent an intermediary step in Man Ray's creative process, the relic of a moment preserved by the artist for later use and interpretation. At the core of this book is a series of landscape photographs dating from the 1920s through the 1950s, many of which bear the distinct influence of Eugène Atget. The 320 photographs and drawings selected for this publication are among the rarest of Man Ray's works and will offer up new revelations to even his most devoted admirers. Man Ray was born Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, 1890. He spent most of his working life in Paris, where he was a significant contributor to both Dadaism and Surrealism (though his ties to both movements were informal). He died in 1976. In 1999, ArtNews magazine named Man Ray one of the 25 most influential artists of the twentieth century.

Robert Doisneau: From Craft to Art
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Издательство: Thames&Hudson
|
PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ
|
Nowhere is the breezy and urbane romance of Paris conjured as memorably as in the photography of Robert Doisneau (1912–1994). A gentle minstrel of visual anecdote, Doisneau interpreted the city's charms in an iconography that both natives and Francophiles instantly recognize: the young hip couple stealing a spontaneous kiss at a busy intersection, the gendarme chatting with a mother while her kid tiptoes along a riverbank bench, the sweetly melancholic abandoned merry-go-round in the rain and the entire pageant of Parisian life mingling at cafes, bus shelters and on the banks of the Seine. Doisneau was possessed of both lightness of touch and spontaneity, as a result of which he has been sometimes championed as a photographer of the “pure” moment. But his ocular touch is even lighter than that suggests?his images are not so much “seized” as “netted.” Accompanying the Fondation Cartier-Bresson's exhibition of around 100 prints from the Doisneau estate, From Craft to Art presents these treasures alongside a new version of Jean-François Chevrier's classic 1983 essay on the photographer, which describes Doisneau's knack for capturing “the shining melancholy that separates an individual from the crowd.”Robert Doisneau was one of France's most popular and prolific reportage photographers. As a member of the Resistance (both as a soldier and as a photographer), he used his engraving skills to forge passports and identification papers, and photographed both the occupation and liberation of Paris. After the war he worked freelance for Life and Paris Vogue, and also made superb portraits of artists including Giacometti, Cocteau, Léger, Braque and Picasso. Doisneau was awarded the Prix Niépce in 1956; a short film, Le Paris de Robert Doisneau, was made in 1973.

Architecture in Wood: A World History
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Pryce Will
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2016
|
PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
Many of the world s greatest buildings are made of wood, yet it is undervalued or ignored in histories of architecture. However, leading designers around the world are increasingly drawn to it to satisfy social and environmental needs. Will Pryce is an award-winning photographer who trained as an architect and photojournalist. Intensely dramatic but not overdramatized, technically flawless but not merely documentary, his internationally acclaimed photographs convey all the excitement of encountering these amazing structures firsthand. He has traveled the world seeking the famous and the obscure. In the text he shows how the wooden heritage of Japan grew from its Buddhist history; how Russia's carpenters determined its iconic domes; how Norway's stave churches contain clues to her pagan past; how Turkic tribes brought the yali from Asia; how the settlers of New England employed a provincial English tradition on the new continent; and how, today, sophisticated architects such as Peter Zumthor and Renzo Piano are inventing an eloquent new wooden architecture.

Hockney's Portraits and People
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Livingstone Marco
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2016
|
PDF, 246 страниц, 7.38 МБ
|
David Hockney's continuing belief in the importance of the portrait and his virtuoso skill in creating a sense of close communication between artist, sitter and viewer has resulted in some of the best-loved works of the postwar era. From the 1950s on, Hockney's most persistent subject matter, in paintings, drawings, collages and photoworks, has been of people usually very close to him, as well as of himself. These works are narratives of autobiographical relationships: they reflect the intimate and often intense stories of this artist's life. They also explore different formal ways of representing the passage of time and at the same time the unavoidable but marvellous stillness of portraits. The works include fascinating sequences as he paints his mother or Henry Geldzahler or Celia Birtwell on and off for decades; the special qualities attached to depictions of lovers; and the range of celebrities, writers and artists — Billy Wilder, Armistead Maupin, W.H. Auden, Henry Moore, Christopher Isherwood — who have been part of a very full life. The text by a distinguished European critic and curator reinforces the point that this hugely popular English-born artist, who made America his second home, has become a figure of worldwide appeal.

Rough Style: Architecture, Interior, Design
|
Thames and Hudson
|
Автор: Kramer Sibylle
Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015
|
PDF, 456 страниц, 13.68 МБ
|
What was once considered incomplete and in need of repair, is chic and hip today: in new office buildings copper pipes are no longer hidden, but are exposed and artfully displayed against the raw formwork pattern of a concrete wall with ingenious lighting. Likewise, the unplastered, cracked walls of a restaurant in a former factory building are creatively altered with translucent modern textile materials. Rough Style presents buildings and spaces by architects and interior designers who work out expressive and most rigorous design concepts. Refraining from the accustomed ideals of beauty and perfection is the new approach. The uncompromising and exciting relationship in the encounter of innovative design schemes and raw unfinished states or traces of the past opens up new esthetic horizons, creating new standards of value.

Like once the main towers of the cathedrals, skyscrapers are the dominant landmarks in the cityscape of today and thereby one of the most prestigious building assignments of creative architects. The design freedom of the contour and the plastic volume of the blob have long since superseded the purely orthogonal towers of the past. A global view to the most significant projects of recent years and the most spectacular towers still under construction as well as path breaking experimental sketches are presented by means of texts, planning material and illustrations. Comprehensive tables give the most important performance markers and provide information about the central subjects specific to this type of building, such as vertical development, safety and energy concepts.
