"Bernd and Hilla Becher's photography can be considered conceptual art, typological study, and topological documentation. Their work can be linked to the Neue Sachlichkeit movement of the 1920s and to such masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, August Sander, and Albert Renger-Patzsch. Their photographs of industrial structures, taken over the course of forty year ..."

Texts by a range of experts on the artist offer new insights into these radi ..."

"The diverse work of internationally renowned artist Gerhard Richter ranges from photo-based pictures to gestural abstraction. "Semblance is the theme of my life," he has stated; "All that is, seems, and is visible to us because we perceive it by the reflected light of semblance." His oeuvre frequently calls into question many widely-held attitudes about such issues and much else--the importance of stylistic consistency, the "natural" ev ..."

"Sean Scully's large-scale canvases carry on the rich legacy of postwar American abstract painting in an age when much of the critical focus has turned to subject-driven art. Using a deliberately restricted vocabulary of lines or bands of color that allude to architectural elements such as portals, windows, and walls, Scully, an Irish-born, English-trained, naturalized American, has generated a significant, vibrant, and compelling body o ..."

"The combination of pictorial motifs and words or sentences has long been a special feature of Ed Ruscha's (born 1937) paintings. As he himself commented in an interview in 1989: "Words are pattern-like, and in their horizontality they answer my investigation into landscape ... they are almost not words--they are objects that become words." This attraction to combinations of word and image has naturally disposed Ruscha toward the book as ..."
