The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2002

Supernova: Art of the 1990s From the Logan Collection
Takashi Murakami, Katy Siegel, ...

D.A.P./San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 2004

su-per-no-va: n., pl. A rare celestial phenomenon involving the explosion of most of the material in a star, resulting in an extremely bright, short-lived object that emits vast amounts of energy. Given the massive shift in the West's cultural sensibility in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and the current global political situation, the 1990s and its over-the-top, anything-goes art scene suddenly appear much more historical than contemporary. If we ...

The Fantastic Awkward Nature of Existence
The first time I saw some paintings by John Currin they appealed to me right away. I did not need a second look or to hear some long winded explination like from art school about why I should appreciate them. The simple fact is they connected to me and I picked up my first book on him. He is an excellent painter but that is just incidental to his work. There are a lot of excellent painters in ...

Sage Advice: Stories from Seasoned Youth Workers

1 review
Scott Gillenwaters, Richard Bardusch, ...

Abingdon Press, 2003

Upbeat and honest
I expected this to be a typical "Christian" book, with references to Bible verses and characters. What I found instead was an entertaining compilation of true stories, told without tidy morals at the end. Once I got over my preconceived notion, and stopped searching for summaries, I found exactly what the title promised: Sage Advice: stories from seasoned youth workers. I especially ...

Twisted: Urban Visionary Landscapes in Contemporary Painting
Takashi Murakami, Jan Debbaut, ...

NAi Publishers/Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 2001

The publication of Twisted: Urban and visionary landscapes in contemporary paintingcoincides with the exhibition of the same name, and features the work of fifteen young, international painters. These artists are defined by the figurative visual language they use, a language that does not refer to what we might normally think of as physical reality, but instead looks to the reality manifest in video and computer games, television, film, ...

Form Follows Fiction
Amy Adler, Takashi Murakami, ...

Charta, 2002

As elements of our life move closer to art, and as art moves directly into life, the differences between the artificial and real are becoming progressively blurred. Form Follows Fiction focuses on a generation of artists who can no longer follow the modernist dictum "form follows function"; as our model of reality becomes more layered and less concrete, that decree morphs inevitably into "form follows fiction." Some of these artists create ...
