The Imaginary Portraits Of George Condo

Hayward Gallery

Features the work of artists who create habitat-like structures and architectural environments that are mental and perceptual spaces as much as physical ones. This book revisits and reanimates the history of Modernist design, while reminding us that built spaces can be defined in social, political, psychological, physical and aesthetic terms.

Mixing It Up

Anthony Hernandez

"Anthony Hernandez's Pictures for Rome (1998-99), made while he was a fellow at the American Academy, make no reference to any iconic images of that historic city and its famous edifices. Instead, these elegantly disturbing color photographs examine what could be considered a series of unofficial urban monuments composed from the distressed architectural elements and detritus found inside abandoned buildings. It may seem like an exaggeration to speak of the monumental aspect of such lost and lowly artifacts, but Hernandez's photographs prompt us to view the things he shows us with fascination, deference, and even, on occasion, awe...."--Ralph Rugoff

Pictures for Rome

Late textile works by the artist who helped pioneer the sculptural use of fabric in art This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fabric works from the last two decades in the career of legendary artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010). "I've always had a fascination with the needle," she once said, "the magic power of the needle. The needle is used to repair damage. It's a claim to forgiveness." This body of work began when the artist started incorporating clothes from all stages of her life into her art, and later expanded to include a range of other textiles such as bed linen, handkerchiefs, tapestry, and needlepoint. The fabric works mine the themes of identity and sexuality, trauma and memory, guilt and reparation, and serve as metaphors for emotional and psychological states. The catalog--which accompanies the exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, and the Gropius Bau, Berlin--features works from numerous series, including the monumental Cellinstallations, figurative sculptures and abstract drawings.

The book is not about works of art that simply document criminal acts. Rather, it is about a strain of art that presents the art object as a clue to absent meanings or actions.

"Supernova" brings together a number of curators and critics--each of whom was actively involved in constructing the 1990s art discourse--to step back and consider what transidentity, broad-based thematic trends can now be identified as emblematic of, or seminal to, the decade. Illustrations.
