Miroslav Tichy (Fototorst)
Harald Szeemann
Torst
, 2006
After studying at the Academy of Arts in Prague, and working--at some risk--as an abstract painter in Communist Czechoslovakia, Miroslav Tichy turned to a life in isolation in his home town of Kyjov, Moravia. In his fourth decade, in the 1960s, he began to take photographs of local women at the town pool using cameras he made by hand out of scrap and peering through the fence, which imposed its lines on every image. His is one of those ...

Great Source for Neo Rauch fans
This book is excellent simply because it provides wonderful reproductions of Rauch's work from roughly the last 10 years. This is one of the most interesting painters today as you probably already know. His odd mix of mid-century socialistic imageries, out-of-this world creatures and very contemporary color adds to an enormously compelling body of work that keeps the viewer interested. If you ...

We owe our idea of the contemporary exhibition to Harald Szeemann--the first of the jet-setting international curators. From 1961 to 1969, he was Curator of the Kunsthalle Bern, where in 1968 he had the foresight to give Christo and Jeanne-Claude the opportunity to wrap the entire museum building. Szeemann's groundbreaking 1969 exhibition When Attitudes Become Form , also at the Kunsthalle, introduced European audiences to artists like Joseph ...
Grazia Toderi

Charta
, 2005
This book acts like a thematic biography that deals with the concept of theater, a topic that is present in all of Grazia Toderi's work. Featured here are images of the stage, images of TV shows--the "theater" of stars--and, eventually, of cities observed from above. The exceptional dialogue between music, theatre, and visual art, and stills of Toderi's latest video project, La Fenice, are presented in this monograph, along with texts by ...

Independent Curators International, New York
, 2001
Not Only for Curators!
This is a great compendium of writings by some of the most prominent independent or affiliated curators working internationally today. Each was asked ten questions about curating and each responded in a different and fascinating way. This is an interesting book for all those interested in the relationship between the artist and the display of their work. It illuminates what a modern curator ...
Wolfgang Laib
Philippe Buttner
, Harald Szeemann, ...
Hatje Cantz Publishers
, 2006
Wolfgang Laib's extraordinarily concentrated installations are touching in an immediate and fundamental way, perhaps because they also address various levels of early childhood consciousness. Beeswax tunnels are redolent with an overwhelming scent of sweet honey and pollen; powdery piles of pollen are such a luminous yellow that you want to put your hands in them and play. Visitors to the installations are opened up, become aware of the ...
Arte Povera: In Collection

Charta
, 2001
The Arte Povera movement, similar to other movements of its time such as Conceptual Art and Process Art, brought about a radical redefinition of art itself, and provided an alternative to the increasingly hegemonic art trends of the day. Arte Povera: In Collection examines a significant nucleus of historical works of the Arte Povera movement from three important collections: the Museum of Contemporary Art Castello di Rivoli, the Galleria d'arte ...
