ISBN-13: 978-0-262-03165-3, ISBN: 0-262-03165-5

"Déjeuneur en Fourrure, the famous fur-lined cup and saucer that Meret Oppenheim produced during her student years in Paris, brought her international renown and precociously labeled her as a Surrealist during the 1930s. This first comprehensive study of Oppenheim (1913-1985) unites biographical detail, critical interpretation, and catalogue raisonné to illuminate the enigmatic character and formidable achievements of a clairvoyant and ..."

Warren's sculptures in clay, bronze and steel, ebb from figuration to abstraction, ranging from the amorphou ..."

Hardcover, 448 Pages, Published 2011 by Phaidon Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-7148-6209-5, ISBN: 0-7148-6209-6

"In the mid-1980s the sprouting of new movements that had driven modern art since the nineteenth century finally went dormant, sputtering out with a last few half-hearted lels ('pattern painting', 'neo-geo', 'commodity art'). But this was not the end of art history -- far from it.A In the years since, art's creative development has remained more vibrant than ever, resulting in a staggering diversity of new forms. "Defining Contemporary A ..."

Illustrated, International Edition
ISBN-13: 978-0-87070-082-8, ISBN: 0-87070-082-0

"Sigmar Polke: Works on Paper, 1963-1974 accompanies the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition of drawings, watercolors, and gouaches by this famous German painter. Polke's works on paper are beautiful and funny with strong tinges of emotion. Potato Heads: Nixon and Khrushchev, from 1965, is a colorful watercolor line drawing of two world leaders with bulbous heads and green polka dots. His almost-comic-book style can be both sweet, as in Yo ..."






Fresh Cream(1st Edition)
by Phaidon Editors, Phaidon Press Staff, Phaidon Press Editors, Amanda Cruz, Bice Curiger, Vasif Kortun, Etc. Iwona Blazwick, Clare Manchester, Gilda Williams
Hardcover, 654 Pages, Published 2000 by Phaidon Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-7148-3924-0, ISBN: 0-7148-3924-8

"A pillow? Possibly a medical sample? Or a conceptual gimmick? Suggesting the impermanence of perishable goods, once you remove this sequel to 1998's Cream from its plastic inflatable packaging and expose it to the air, a zeitgeist stopwatch starts to tick away. Bearing the dimensions and solidity of one of Carl Andre's infamous bricks, it showcases an orgy of emerging contemporary artists in the same way that 10 x 10 surveyed cutting-ed ..."

Sigmar Polke(68th Edition)

Paperback, 184 Pages, Published 1996 by Liverpool University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-85323-911-6, ISBN: 0-85323-911-8

"... presents itself as not wholly relevant (or indeed at all relevant) but which, carefully attended to, can supply a kind of 'sense' of what is going on. [4] Polke dwells precisely in this same way on the lacunae which provide gaps in any potential storyline. There are clues in the work that lead us towards a certain degree of decipherment (as for example in Bernard Marcade's analysis of Paganini to which I shall refer later) but ..."

"When comprehensive retrospectives of Meret Openheims work were first mounted by European museums in the 70s, the public was astonished by the richness and regenerative impact of her art, displaying both unity within multiplicity and permanence within change. She is known for her Fur Teacup and Spoon in the Museum of Modern Arts collection since 1936. This was the first publication on her works in English after her death in 1986. Text by ..."

"Emerging from the 1960s generation of Viennese Aktionists, who used their own bodies in their art, Franz West (b.1947) is an internationally renowned Austrian artist who incorporates the bodies of his spectators into his work. Often inviting visitors to participate in or even wear his sculptures, West encourages us to explore our involvement in contemporary art and its presentations.

Hardcover, 360 Pages, Published 2007 by Tate
ISBN-13: 978-1-85437-647-3, ISBN: 1-85437-647-0

"Since 1979, Peter Fischli and David Weiss have been cheerfully celebrating the banality of everyday existence and, in the process, rising to the forefront of the contemporary international art world. Their work deliberately ignores the traditional distinction between high and low art, and employs a wide variety of media, including photography, film, video, artists’ books, installation, and sculpture. Featuring over 200 color illustratio ..."

"This landmark volume examines the life and work of the extraordinary Swiss Surrealist Meret Oppenheim. Although she became famous at the age of 23 for her fur-covered teacup, she subsequently suffered years of critical neglect, and her subversive work has only recently begun to receive the acclaim it deserves.

ISBN-13: 978-1-942607-14-4, ISBN: 1-942607-14-8

"Although Heidi Bucher's (1926-93) oeuvre remained mostly overlooked after her death, a recent revitalization around her idiosyncratic practice has opened the conversation on this pioneer in the feminist dialogue of the 1970s. Born in Switzerland, Bucher moved to California in the 1960s where she collaborated with her husband Carl on "Bodyshells," a series of wearable sculptures exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1972. ..."

From his early text-and-image paintings to his more recent photo collages and installations, Baldessari has continued to make art that addresses the social impact of mass culture, often playfully through strategies of appropriation and deconstruction. Baldessari's lifelong interest in language, writ ..."
