Jack Whitten : notes from the woodshed / by Whitten, Jack,1939-2018,author,artist.(CARDINAL)169314; Siegel, Katy,editor.(CARDINAL)291393; Distributed Art Publishers,distributor.(CARDINAL)784868; Hauser & Wirth Publishers,publisher.(CARDINAL)853612; Offsetdruckerei Karl Grammlich,printer.(CARDINAL)356767;
Includes bibliographical references.Widely celebrated for his experimental approach to painting, Jack Whitten often turned to writing as a way to investigate, understand, and grapple with his practice and his milieu. "Notes from the Woodshed" is the first publication devoted to Whitten's writings and takes its name from the heading Whitten scrawled across many of his texts. Working across various forms from meticulous daily logs, to developed longer essays, to published statements and public talks Whitten's reflections span the course of his five decade career and give conceptual depth to an oeuvre that bridged rhythms of gestural abstraction and process art. Together, these writings shed light on Whitten's singularly nuanced language of painting, which hovers between mechanical automation and intensely personal expression.

Philip Guston & the poets / by Barañano Letamendía, Kosme María de,1952-editor.(CARDINAL)279803; Guston, Philip,1913-1980,artist.(CARDINAL)149045; Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia,issuing body,publisher,originatoranizer,host institution.(CARDINAL)174207; Hauser & Wirth New York,publisher.(CARDINAL)335173;
Includes bibliographical references.Published to accompany the exhibition "Philip Guston and The Poets" at Gallerie dell'Accademia (May - September 2017), this monograph exposes the artist's oeuvre to critical literary interpretation. The exhibition draws parallels between humanist themes reflected in both Guston's paintings and drawings as well as in the language and prose discerned in five of the twentieth century's most prominent literary figures: D.H. Lawrence, W.B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, Eugenio Montale and T.S. Eliot. The enormous influence that Italy itself had upon Guston and his work is also examined. Spanning a 50-year period, "Philip Guston and The Poets", edited by curator Prof. Dr. Kosme de Barañano, features approximately 40 major paintings and 40 prominent drawings dating from 1930 through to 1980, the last of which were created in the final years of Guston's life. Exhibition: Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice, Italy (10.05.-03.09.2017).

Rashid Johnson : blocks. by Johnson, Rashid,1977-artist.(CARDINAL)353066; Alemani, Cecilia,interviewer.(CARDINAL)337948; Galerie Hauser & Wirth,publisher.(CARDINAL)335171; Friends of the High Line.(CARDINAL)353065;
Published on the occasion of an exhibition held on the High Line at Little West 12th Street, New York City, May 2015-March 2016.Rashid Johnson and Cecilia Alemani in conversation.The High Line is a 1.45-mile stretch of disused elevated freight tracks on Manhattan's West Side that was converted into a park between 2006 and 2014. In 2015, the American artist Rashid Johnson (b. Chicago, Ill., 1977; lives and works in New York, N.Y.) installed a publicly accessible sculpture on the tracks. Commissioned by the High Line Art program, it consisted of a shelf-like black metal construction that housed a number of bright yellow busts. Blocks presents comprehensive photographic documentation of the eponymous work's evolving interaction with the lush vegetation into which it intervened. Over the course of the full year for which the sculpture stood on the site, plants of different species grew through its grid structure, lending it a forever changing aspect as the seasons passed. The pictures illustrate the poetic quality of the time-limited relationship between a man-made construction and nature, touching on themes such as optimism, failure, regeneration, and desolation. A conversation between Cecilia Alemani, chief curator of High Line Art, and Rashid Johnson sheds light on the genesis of Blocks and the artist's approach to making work for public settings.

Revolution in the making : abstract sculpture by women, 1947-2016 / by Rothrum, Emily,writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)355504; Smith, Elizabeth A.

Includes bibliographical references."The catalogue accompanies the most comprehensive exhibition of postwar abstract sculpture by women artists. Revolution in the Making traces the ways in which women artists deftly transformed the language of sculpture. The volume seeks to identify the multiple strains of proto-feminist practices, characterized by abstraction and repetition, which rejected the singularity of the masterwork. Divided into four sections, the book will feature approximately thirty artists and nearly 100 works in total: the postwar era (the late 1950s) including such historically important predecessors as Ruth Asawa, Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois, Claire Falkenstein, and Louise Nevelson; the 1960s and 1970s, highlighting a generation of post-minimalist artists who ignited a revolution in their use of process-oriented materials and methods; the 1980s and 1990s, the period that moved beyond singular, three-dimensional objects toward architectonic works characterized by repetition, structure, and design; and post-2000 works by artists who created installation-based environments, embracing domestic materials and craft as an embedded discourse."--Publisher's description.Publication to accompany an exhibition held at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel, Los Angeles, CA, March 13-September 4, 2016.
