This sumptuous volume presents the first full-scale exploration of warhol's tremendous influence across the generations of artists that have succeeded him. Warhol brought to the art world a unique awareness of the relationship that art might have with popular consumer culture and tabloid news, with celebrity, and with sexuality. Each of these themes is explored through visual dialogues between warhol and some sixty artists, among them John Baldessari, Vija Celmins, Gilbert & George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Damien Hirst, Alfredo Jaar, Deborah Kass, Alex Katz, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Glenn Ligon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Vik Muniz, Takashi Murakami, Bruce Nauman, Cady Noland, Elizabeth Peyton, Sigmar Polke, Richard Prince, Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman and Luc Tuymans. These juxtapositions not only demonstrate warhol's overt influence but also suggest how artists have either worked in parallel modes or developed his model in dynamic new directions. Featuring commentary by many of the world's leading contemporary artists, as well as a major essay by the celebrated critic Mark Rosenthal and an extensive illustrated chronology, Regarding Warhol is an out-standing publication that will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary art.

Jeff Koons: Now

L'art de Jeff Koons est séduisant et sexy, conceptuel et ludique. Il s'adresse au spectateur de manière très directe, comme on a pu le voir depuis que l'artiste a conquis la scène artistique dans les années 1980 avec ses sculptures de ballons de basket et son lapin gonflable en inox. Depuis le début des années 1990, après être apparu dans la série Made in Heaven, qui le montrait dans ses ébats amoureux avec sa femme, ou avoir dressé la sculpture florale d'un chiot de 12 mètres devant le château d'Arolsen, Koons est devenu une figure incontournable de la vie publique. Aujourd'hui, il célèbre les mythes du quotidien dans des peintures-collages de grand format dominées par des personnages de bandes dessinées et dans des sculptures hautement réfléchissantes dont la facture artisanale ultraperfectionniste transforme des objets insignifiants en œuvres d'art. Au fil des années, Koons n'a cessé de susciter des défenseurs enthousiastes aussi bien que des adversaires farouches, ce qui en fait un des artistes les plus populaires de notre époque.

A Tribute to Muhammad Ali

In 1975, a young art student named Jeff Koons (b. 1955) moved to Chicago, where he studied at the School of the Art Institute; worked as a studio assistant to his hero, painter Ed Paschke, for $1 an hour; and socialized with many of the city’s most talented artists. This handsome book takes a fresh look at the rise and career of Jeff Koons, who is now arguably one of the world’s most famous artists. Koons collaborated extensively on this book, which accompanies the first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. in 16 years and offers a survey of nearly thirty years of his work, beginning with iconic sculptures from 1979 to new paintings completed in 2007. Francesco Bonami reconsiders his career, making intriguing connections to the work of Andy Warhol, A. A. Milne, Marcel Duchamp, and Gustave Courbet, among others. This is the first publication to explore a little-known but highly influential period in the artist’s career––his time in Chicago in the 1970s. It also provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Koons’s work for new audiences and short texts about each of his series and many major works.
