Anish Kapoor
9781853323874
€57,99
Beautifully produced monograph of the renowned contemporary artist Anish Kapoor, focusing on his creative output from the past fifteen years, highlighting his development of new, strikingly visceral forms of sculpture and painting. Anish Kapoor (b. Mumbai, 1954) has been celebrated across the globe for making art that is both sensorially engaging and intellectually provocative. Through adventurous artistic experimentation, he has forged innovative ways of using a wide range of materials in both his sculpture and painting, producing artworks that play with our perception of space in profound ways, and that frequently evince a deep sense of mystery. This book, which includes - among other texts - an essay by the renowned psychoanalyst and philosopher Julia Kristeva and a new, extensive interview with Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff - will focus on a key selection of the artist’s creative output from the past fifteen years, highlighting his development of new, strikingly visceral forms of sculpture and painting. In these recent works Kapoor has explored both novel thematic concerns as well as preoccupations with spatial perception, and our experience of presence and emptiness, surface and void, the known and the unknown, that have been central to his entire career. This exhibition will mark the artist's return to the Hayward Gallery, which presented the first UK survey of his work in 1998. Lees meer
Antony Gormley
9782353770502
€55,99
An insightful exploration of Antony Gormley’s work and his lifelong engagement with Auguste Rodin Antony Gormley (b. 1950) is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations, and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. Tracing a dialogue between the influential British sculptor and Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), this book explores the work of two of the most well-known and respected sculptors of their respective times. This fascinating encounter is staged through extensive installation photography of Gormley’s work within and around the Musée Rodin in Paris, never-before-seen drawings, workbooks, and models from the artist’s studio, as well as Rodin’s own sculptures, maquettes, and drawings. Seen together, it invites readers to reflect on the artists’ shared investment in questioning what the body offers sculpture as a subject, object, and reflexive tool. Featuring new authoritative scholarship, as well as an insightful and wide-ranging conversation with Gormley, this beautifully illustrated volume documents the enduring impact of Rodin’s work on Gormley. Exhibition Schedule: Muse´e Rodin, Paris (October 17, 2023–March 3, 2024) Lees meer
Antony Gormley on Sculpture
9780500295229
€26,99
Antony Gormley occupies an unusual position as a highly popular sculptor – known chiefly for his Angel of the North (1998), a national landmark in the UK – who is also widely regarded as one of the most intellectually challenging artists working internationally. He is grounded in archaeology and anthropology, and looks to Asian and Buddhist traditions as much as to Western sculptural history, which he believes reached a punctuation point with Rodin. This is the first book to focus on Gormley’s thoughts on sculpture, positioning his career and artistic philosophy in relation to its history. The book is structured thematically over four chapters: the first explores Gormley’s thoughts on the body, time and space in relation to major works including European Field (1993) and ‘Still Standing’ (2011), Gormley’s rehang of the classical rooms at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. The second chapter, ‘Sculptors’, was first delivered as a series of five lectures for the BBC; in each, Gormley discusses a sculpture he considers to be of huge creative importance: Epstein’s The Rock Drill (1913–15), Brancusi’s The Endless Column (1935–38), Giacometti’s La Place (1948–49), Joseph Beuys’s Plight (1985) and Richard Serra’s The Matter of Time (2005). In the third chapter, Gormley outlines the influence of Buddhist and Jain sculpture on his work and ideas, and the fourth showcases the artist’s most recent sculptures. Lees meer
