"The Italian-born painter Francesco Clemente came to prominence in the mid-1970s when intensely subjective yet universal themes filtered into his skewed self-portraiture, witty wordplay and gestural figuration. This volume compiles a decade's worth of works on paper from those early days, many of which were inspired by Italy's political crisis at the time or fellow artists Alighiero Boetti and Luigi Ontani. The Italian artists of the 197 ..."
"Being a young photographer, Sandra Mann decided to portray her own generation, or rather her generation’s nightlife. She captures the nightly scenes in clubs and discotheques not only through the lens of her camera, but as a member of the scene itself. The viewer is provided with intimate, sometimes erotic sights of artists, dancers, musicians, and well-known DJs/VJs. Apart from international underground celebrities, Mann also portrays ..."

"In 2006, The New York Times' art critic Roberta Smith described Art Basel Miami as, " a decentralized sprawling mass of excitement and display, plus lots of disposable wealth. It is the art world's version of Mardi Gras." The Miami fair's more established European partner, Art Basel, has been described as "the Olympics of the art world," and "a modern art mecca" by The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal respectively. Add to thes ..."

"In the more than 500 working drawings by Alex Katz reproduced here, we are able to look over the artist's shoulder at works in their nascent state--a rare experience essential to any understanding of the artist's oeuvre. Like a sculptor's preparatory drawings, these are the sketches of a painter who is not a draftsman but a painter; they are the raw material, revealing Katz's methods of looking and recording. Contours, overlappings, mov ..."
"Ellen Auerbach is a remarkable New York artist, honored in 1998 (at the age of 92) with an important exhibit of her photographs at Berlin's prestigious Academie der Kunst. Ellen Auerbach: Berlin, Tel Aviv, London, New York, the exhibition catalog, traces her trajectory through the century with photos she took between 1929 and 1965. Some of her early images (created with studio partner Grete Stern) have a surrealist tinge. In 1933, Aub ..."
""To make art, artists are like thieves, watching for a door left open. At the beginning of the 1960s, I painted a chair on a chair. I painted a chest of drawers on a chest of drawers. A hopeless entanglement of painting and sculpture. Is that what I was looking for? Minimal Art, Pop Art . . . artists learn from other artists but desperately want their art to be unique . . . But the categories happen. The sense that there is such a thing ..."

"The Swiss artist Manon has been a pioneer of female body and performance art since the 1970s. From the beginning of her career, her work addressed the construction of sexual, gender, and identity stereotypes long before it became widely accepted or fashionable to do so. ManonâA Person is the first comprehensive study of this groundbreaking contemporary artist, featuring the entire range of her work, from the first fetish images and in ..."

In der Fotoarbeit Milch aus dem Jahr 1984 zeigt der kanadische Fotokünstler Jeff Wall einen auf dem Gehweg sitzenden jungen Mann. In seiner rechten Hand hält dieser eine Milchtüte, aus der die weiße Flüssigkeit in einem spektakulären Bogen h ..."
"The work of Lucian Freud exemplifies the art-historical distinction between nudity and nakedness--instead of presenting the body as a stylized object for the viewer's consumption, Freud's intensely psychological portraits delve into the existential core of his subjects. Freud has always occupied a unique stance in the field of figurative painting, seeking a perfect realism that has less to do with creating an effective likeness than wit ..."
