An updated edition of the acclaimed monograph, celebrating one of the most iconic and revolutionary artists of our time. "Yayoi Kusama transcended the art world to become a fixture of popular culture, in a league with Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Keith Haring." —The New York Times Kusama is internationally renowned for her groundbreaking work on themes such as infinity, self-image, sexuality, and compulsive repetition. A well-known name in the Manhattan scene of the 1960s, Kusama's subsequent work combined Psychedelia and Pop culture with patterning, often resulting in participatory installations and series of paintings. This revised and expanded edition of the 2000 monograph, which is arguably still one of the most comprehensive studies on her work to date, has been augmented by an essay by Catherine Taft and a collection of new poems by the artist.

Udo Kultermann's Contemporary Architecture in the Arab States couples case studies with over 100 never-before-seen illustrations to chronicle modern architectural developments in each Arab nation. From government offices and public spaces, to houses of education and religion, the featured examples include designs for both commercial and private clients. The book also explores the unlikely collaboration between large foreign architectural firms and their smaller, yet essential, Arab counterparts and highlights the cultural self-examination that occurs while redesigning ancient cities to coincide with modern needs.

¿En qué momento surgió la Historia del arte? Y más importante aún, ¿cómo fue evolucionando y conformándose como disciplina académica? A ambas cuestiones, especialmente a la segunda, es a lo que trata de dar respuesta este libro. Con un estilo ameno y riguroso, Udo Kultermann pasa revista a los más de dos mil años que median entre Platón y las décadas finales del siglo xx, un apasionante recorrido que, desde la "prehistoria" griega, conduce al lector por la vida y la obra de las principales figuras que, con su trabajo y su personalidad, han caracterizado el desarrollo de esta ciencia. De Plinio el Viejo a Aby Warburg, de Vasari a Chastel, de Winckelmann a Kenneth Clark, pasando por Winckelmann, Burckhardt, Berenson, Pater, Riegl, Panofsky, los hermanos Goncourt o Anthoy Blunt, el presente libro constituye un completo y riguroso quién es quién en la apasionante historia de esta disciplina. En sus páginas se pone de manifiesto que, lejos de ser algo monolítico, la Historia del arte es un reflejo de las tendencias y corrientes metodológicas tan dispares que han confluido en su configuración. Una disciplina que no sólo no ha llegado a su fin, sino que continúa creciendo y abriendo nuevos ramales por los que discurrir, en su afán por profundizar en la esencia de esa poliédrica realidad que es el hecho artístico, siempre complejo y elusivo.
