In 1932 he immigrated to the United States and later opened the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts ..."
"In devising a concept for the Abbildungen exhibition, Konstantin Grcic thought back to one of his earliest designs, an additional pedestal for a sculpture by Constantin Brancusi. This became the leitmotif of his staging of twenty-one selected objects. The exhibition is the underpinning for the conception of this publication, which turns its gaze on the media-framing of Grcic s design objects. First researched in early magazines, company ..."

She pursues her investigation like a detective, piecing together evidence and presenting it in a loosely woven, often inconclusive narrative. This book includes an introduction to the artist and her work by Cla ..."

"After leaving Germany in 1932, Walter Benjamin wrote Berliner Kindheit Um Neunzehnhundert, a collection of 42 texts that functions as a childhood memoir, distilling the poignancy of a lost childhood from vividly remembered places, things and experiences. Arriving in Berlin with her husband and young daughter in 1991, Aura Rosenberg was introduced to Benjamin's memoir, and found herself moving, uncannily, through the very spaces Benjamin ..."

"Berlin by night - a dark, mysterious, and strangely beautiful place depicted by artist Willie Doherty in a remarkable series of black-and-white photographs made during his recent year-long residency in the city. In Doherty's nocturnal Berlin there are no recognisable landmarks, no bright city lights or streets bustling with people. What he offers instead are tantalizing and intriguing glimpses of light and traces of life in an otherwise ..."
"Noch immer das aus der Romantik überkommene ästhetische Ideal eines abwechslungsreich gestalteten Natur-, Agrar- und Siedlungsraumes? Moderne Landschaften sind heute häufig »Un-Orte«. Sie tragen Spuren ökonomischer Eingriffe, wechselnder Grenzziehungen, sind geprägt von Vertreibung, Krieg oder durch Zersiedlung und Bergbau. Oft bleibt nur eine Art Restnatur übrig, in der ein paar Ruinen von geschichtlichen Ereignissen künden. Öde Land ..."
"From a review in Artforum by Janet Koplos: "Kiecol was born in Bremen in 1950 and lives in Cologne. His works seem to engage systems rather than politics, philosophy, on-the-sleeve emotion or other more popular themes. Contemporary irony is implied in the recollections that some of the works inspire. Emphatic black crayon drawings are reminiscent of Richard Serra's oil-stick works; small, dense concrete houses recall Joel Shapiro's smal ..."
"Minimalist artist Dan Flavin (1933–96) is best known for his brightly colored fluorescent light installations, which have captivated art lovers for decades. But he was also an accomplished draftsman, and this is the first book to fully explore the central role that drawing played in Flavin’s art. Not only did Flavin produce numerous sketches for each of his light installations, he also regularly drew outdoors, primarily riverscapes and ..."

For this book he has put together a selection of drawings, made between 1991 and 2007, that were created to plot these sculptures and their installations.

"Cartoons meets Surrealism by way of Abstract Expressionism in Arturo Herrera's multi-layered body of work, an oeuvre which progresses through specific stages of abstraction. You Go First is devoted to the primary and most essential stage of Herrera's production: collage making. In his subversive paper and gouache combinations, Herrera abstracts barely recognizable childhood imagery into sly, formal adventures in vanguard two-dimensional ..."
"Thomas Kiesewetter (b. 1963 in Kassel; lives and works in Berlin) creates abstract and almost deconstructivist sculptures. He relies on industrial materials, primarily sheet metal, which he bends and folds with playful ease. Held together by screws and painted in luminous colors, the components together elicit reminiscences of the architectonic forms of modernism. The works suggest Kiesewetter’s productive engagement with the history of ..."
"A stalwart of Vancouver's Conceptual scene, artist and musician Rodney Graham has used an array of media to explore appropriated historical sources from literature, philosophy and pop music, and to induce shifts in the viewer's preconceptions and perceptions of these sources: Sigmund Freud, Donald Judd, Edgar Allan Poe and even Graham's former bandmate Jeff Wall have provided subject matter for the artist's critical tweakings. Through t ..."
