Includes bibliographical references and index."Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles-particularly weaving-as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts. Woven Histories begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse. Including essays by distinguished art historians as well as reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious project traces the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction as vehicles through which artists probe urgent issues of our time"-- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Art, Abstract; Art, Abstract; Textile design, Abstract; Textile design; Textile design; Weaving;

- The body in the gravel / by Lynn, Judi,1948-author.;
Even in a lovely town like River Bluffs, Indiana, flipping houses can be a challenge. Especially when there's the proverbial skeleton in the closet-and a literal corpse in the driveway... House-flipper Jazzy Zanders has her work cut out for her. Her latest flip, which she co-purchased with her fiancée Ansel and cousin Jerod, is a three-story fixer-upper that's more of a droopy-downer. One corner of the house is sinking and needs to be jacked up with a new cement foundation. That costs money. And causes headaches. And creates a work environment that's not only hostile, it's downright deadly...Jazzy knows it's a tough job. Which is why she hired Darby to lay the cement. But when Darby gets into a fiery argument with the furnace man-and then never shows up to lay gravel for the driveway-Jazzy starts to wonder if the rumors about Darby are true. Did he kill his wife and son and bury them in the yard like some folks claim? When Darby's dead body comes pouring out of a gravel truck, murder upstages the real estate market as her biggest concern...- Subjects: Fiction.; Contractors; Death; Flipping (Real estate investment);

- What it means to write about art : interviews with art critics / by Earnest, Jarrett,interviewer,editor.(CARDINAL)621100;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 531-544) and index.Hilton Als -- John Ashbery -- Bill Berkson -- Yve-Alain Bois -- Huey Copeland -- Holland Cotter -- Douglas Crimp -- Darby English -- Hal Foster -- Michael Fried -- Thyrza Nichols Goodeve -- Dave Hickey -- Siri Hustvedt -- Kellie Jones -- Chris Kraus -- Rosalind Krauss -- Lucy Lippard -- Fred Moten -- Eileen Myles -- Molly Nesbit -- Jed Perl -- Barbara Rose -- Jerry Saltz -- Peter Schjeldahl -- Barry Schwabsky -- Paul Chaat Smith -- Roberta Smith -- Lynne Tillman -- Michele Wallace -- John Yau.In the last 50 years, art criticism has flourished as never before. Moving from niche to mainstream, it is now widely taught at universities, practiced in newspapers, magazines and online, and has become the subject of debate by readers, writers and artists worldwide. Equal parts oral history and analysis of craft, What it Means to Write About Art offers an unprecedented overview of American art writing. Jarrett Earnest's wide-ranging conversations with critics, historians, journalists, novelists, poets and theorists each of whom approaches the subject from a unique position illustrate different ways of writing, thinking and looking at art. These in-depth conversations about writing and art are situated within individual life experiences: for instance John Ashbery recalls finding Rimbaud's poetry through his first crush at 16; Rosalind Krauss remembers stealing the design of October from Massimo Vignelli; Paul Chaat Smith details his early days with Jimmie Durham in the American Indian Movement; Dave Hickey talks about writing country songs with Waylon Jennings; Michele Wallace relives her late-night and early-morning interviews with James Baldwin; Lucy Lippard describes confronting Clement Greenberg at a lecture; Eileen Myles asserts her belief that her negative review incited the Women's Action Coalition; and Fred Moten recounts falling in love with Renoir while at Harvard.- Subjects: Art criticism.; Interviews.; Art critics; Art criticism;

- Among others : Blackness at MoMA / by English, Darby,1974-author.(CARDINAL)782690; Barat, Charlotte,author.(CARDINAL)835814; Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.),issuing body.(CARDINAL)139062;
Includes bibliographical references."This expansive collection of essays on nearly 200 works in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art is the first substantial exploration of MoMA's uneven historical relationship with black artists, black audiences and the broader subject of racial blackness. By addressing these subjects through the consideration of works produced either by black artists or in response to race-related subjects, 'Among Others' confronts two kinds of truth: one plainly factual and informative, the other moral. It is equal parts historical investigation and truth-telling about the Museum's role in the history of the cultural politics of race. The richly illustrated volume begins with two historical essays. The first, by Darby English and Charlotte Barat, traces the history of MoMA's encounters with racial blackness since its founding--from an early commitment to African art and solo exhibitions devoted to the work of artists such as William Edmondson and Jacob Lawrence in the 1930s and 1940s, to its activities during the Civil Rights Movement, to the controversial Primitivism show of 1984 and beyond. The second essay, by Mabel O. Wilson, scrutinizes the Museum's record in collecting the work of black architects and designers. Following these essays are nearly 200 plates, each accompanied by an essay by one of the over 100 authors who hail from a range of fields." --- Subjects: Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.); African Americans in art.; Art and race; Black people in art.; African American artists.; Artists, Black.; Museums and minorities; African Americans; Black people; Race in art.; Art;
