"Since the mid-1960s, Ohio-born artist Elaine Sturtevant has been concerned with one the of the most important themes in Western art--originality. Now living and working in Paris, she reproduces existing paintings by artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Frank Stella--to name just a few. Often indistinguishable from the originals, these works call attention to the crucial issues of origin and di ..."
"...now I put everything into equal sized brown cardboard boxes with a colored label on the side for the corresponding month and year. I hate memories full of melancholy, and deep inside I hope all those boxes will get lost, so I won't have to look through them ever again... On the other side, I would really like to keep these things, so that they can find a new use one day. --Andy Warhol, 1975 Beginning in the 1970s, Andy Warhol colle ..."
"Spanning the last 20 years, this retrospective catalogue accompanies Andreas Slominski’s recent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt, Germany. Works range from early sculptural objects to room-filling installations to recent works that directly engage with Frankfurt’s cultural history, as well as Slominski’s hotly debated Styrofoam paintings."
"Over the course of a half-century, Sturtevant (1924-2014) developed what is perhaps the most radical oeuvre of her generation. Concerned more with changing mental attitudes than with the reception of her art, she provoked the art world and the individual spectator by repeating the original works of contemporary artists. Astonishingly soon after the "originals" were made, she used them as source and catalyst, her intention being to, as s ..."

"Maxine Henryson explores the world through the lens of color. Hybrids of the abstract and the real, the painterly and the documentary, her photographs present a reality that is a cross between her imagination and the real world. "Ujjayi" means "victorious breath" in Sanskrit. Ujjayi's Journey is a visual poem exploring religious coexistence, rituals, the female world, and nature. She tells the story of her search for the portrayal of th ..."

"By the 1960s, Andy Warhol was already famous for turning the world of advertising and commercial art on its head with his new presentational style using silk-screened images. Less known is that during those heady times, Warhol began boxing up personal items, art, letters, bills, photographs, postcards, found objects, illustrated vinyl LPs, newspaper clippings, and diaristic notes into what he called "Time Capsules." This book displays f ..."
