Generously illustrated essays consider Isa Genzken's remarkable body of work, from her early elegant floor pieces to her later explosive assemblages. Since the late 1970s, the Berlin-based contemporary artist Isa Genzken (b. 1948) has produced a body of work that is remarkable for its formal and material inventiveness. In her sculptural practice, Genzken has developed an expanded material repertoire that includes plaster, concrete, epoxy resin, and mass-produced objects that range from action figures to discarded pizza boxes. Her heterogeneous assemblages, a New York Times critic observes, are “brash, improvisational, full of searing color and attitude.” Genzken, the recent subject of a major retrospective at MoMA, offers a highly original interpretation of modernist, avant-garde, and postminimalist practices even as she engages pressing sociopolitics and economic issues of the present. These illustrated essays address the full span of Genzken's work, from the elegant floor sculptures with which she began her career to the assemblages, bursting with color and bristling with bric-a-brac, that she has produced since the beginning of the millennium. The texts, by writers including Yve-Alain Bois, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, and the artist herself, consider her formation in the West German milieu; her critique of conventions of architecture, reconstruction, and memorialization; her sympathy with mass culture; and her ongoing interrogation of public and private spheres. Two texts appear in English for the first time, including a quasi-autobiographical screenplay written by Genzken in 1993. Contributors Yve-Alain Bois, Benjamin H. D.

Isa Genzken

The work of German sculptor Isa Genzken is brilliantly receptive to the ever-shifting conditions of modern life. In this first book devoted to the artist, Lisa Lee reflects on Genzken’s tendency to think across media, attending to sculptures, photographs, drawings, and films from the entire span of her four-decade career, from student projects in the mid-1970s to recent works seen in Genzken’s studio. Through penetrating analyses of individual works as well as archival and interview material from the artist herself, Lee establishes four major themes in Genzken’s oeuvre: embodied perception, architecture and built space, the commodity, and the body. Contextualizing the sculptor’s engagement with fellow artists, such as Joseph Beuys and Bruce Nauman, Lee situates Genzken within a critical and historical framework that begins in politically fraught 1960s West Germany and extends to the globalized present. Here we see how Genzken tests the relevance of the utopian aspirations and formal innovations of the early twentieth century by submitting them to homage and travesty. Sure to set the standard for future studies of Genzken’s work, Isa Genzken is essential for anyone interested in contemporary art.

A DRAMA FILLED CLEAN ROMANCE AD 2135, Saved America: Eden, a girl ripped from her post-revolutionary American life, can see no good outcome for her predicament. Gideon, a second-in-line prince who'sfallen from grace, may be her only option. How will these two lost souls find each other? With a single knock on the door, Eden's sheltered world is turned upside down. She's kidnapped and taken to a dubious school in a secret location where she must learn to be a proper wife. But is it a school or a prison? She can't leave for years-not until the man who's purchased her as his bride comes to claim her-and she finds herself in a fight for an unknown prize, competing against an unseen foe. Prince Gideon, whose parents have secretly arranged their match, lives on the other side of the world and isn't even aware of Eden's existence. The prince is occupied with the beautiful Angel, who's a lot less angelic than he thinks. When Gideon's relationship with Angel gets him thrown out of the palace, he is ashamed and without hope. Eden may be the only way to fix his mistakes. Can Eden survive the enemies at her new school? Can Gideon redeem himself? Will Gideon ever meet the one chosen for him?
