Gaetano Pesce: The Complete Incoherence
Glenn Adamson
The Monacelli Press, 2023
ISBN 9781580935999
Glenn Adamson
The Monacelli Press, 2023
In a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce’s singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste. Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce’s unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible.

John Singer Sargent, Figures and Landscapes 1883-1899
Richard Ormond, Elaine Kilmurray
Yale, 2010
ISBN 9780300161113

The fifth volume of the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné encompasses a remarkably productive span in the beloved American painter’s life. The young artist moved from Paris to London during this period and successfully ignited his career as a portraitist, and this time also marked his experimentation with Impressionist techniques. These pages contain the first detailed account of Sargent’s relationship with Claude Monet, including letters—most published for the first time here—from the artist to the great Impressionist. This exquisitely illustrated volume also covers the period when Sargent journeyed to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Spain, North Africa, and Italy in search of inspiration for a mural cycle commissioned by the Boston Public Library. The works he painted as source material included here stand in stark contrast to the sensuous, painterly exercises of the early and mid-1880s, underlining his versatility and artistic reach.
As in the previous volumes in this series, the images in this book are reproduced in full color and documented in depth, with complete provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography, and are accompanied by relevant studies and related drawings.

Robert Mangold

Phaidon, 2000
Robert Mangold's gently curving, majestic paintings are among the most beautiful abstract works of the late twentieth century. Emerging in the 1960s, Mangold is often associated with Minimalism for his non-hierarchical compositions and use of simple geometric forms. His subtle colours and soft, hand-drawn figures also recall other sources, from traditional Greek pottery to the frescoes of Piero. Among the most accomplished painters working today, Mangold is collected in the world's pre-eminent museums. This first comprehensive monograph assesses Mangold's contribution to contemporary painting, with essays by some of the most distinguished writers on contemporary art. Richard Shiff, Chair in Art at the University of Texas, Austin, interprets Mangold's art in the context of its broad cultural history; Robert Storr, curator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, analyses the work in relation to late twentieth-century painting; Arthur C Danto, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, New York, examines in depth the Zone Paintings series; and art critic Nancy Princenthal presents a chronological history of the concepts in the work. Also included is a conversation with the artist's wife, painter Sylvia Plimack Mangold, on the sources behind his work, and artist's statements accompanied by photographs of the artist in his studio by their son, the noted filmmaker James Mangold.

L'Agneau mystique des frères Van Eyck (1432) est unanimement reconnu comme œuvre picturale sublime, avec un rayonnement et une influence exceptionnels. Ce fut la première peinture à l'huile de grande taille et le mysticisme religieux s'en dégage avec force. Ce livre regroupe pour la première fois un grand nombre de savoirs liés à L'Agneau mystique - soit le monumental polyptyque réalisé par les frères Hubert et Jan Van Eyck en collaboration avec un atelier de renom et un ensemble de conseillers sur le plan du contenu. Ce livre nourrit une ambition similaire : réunir des experts des disciplines les plus diverses. Ce n'est qu'en combinant les points de vue des spécialistes en histoire de l'art, des historiens, des philosophes, des scientifiques du religieux, des mathématiciens et des spécialistes de l'optique que l'on peut pleinement saisir la richesse et la profondeur de ce chef-d'œuvre. Richement illustré de dizaines de détails d'une précision inouïe - parfois invisibles à l'œil nu - révélés durant la campagne de restauration en cours.

kim n kosiahn - Saigon

Ce livre porte sur une série de peintures à l'acrylique nommé "Saigon" ainsi que quelques vues de l'atelier de l'artiste.
Née au Vietnam en 1957, Kim Kosiahn grandit dans un pays en guerre. Diplômée en 1984 de l’École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon avec mention, elle obtient la même année le prix de Paris décerné par la Région Rhône-Alpes puis les bourses de l’O.F.A.J. (Stuttgart, Cologne), de Léonard de Vinci du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères (l’AFFA) pour Saïgon et de La Fondation de France.
Après des années de recherches et de travail de création en France, elle repart au pays de pluie et s’absente volontairement des mouvances de la scène artistique européenne pour laisser place à une démarche de guérison de ses blessures intérieures tout en travaillant continuellement son art en créant une passerelle pour les artistes vietnamiens entre la France et le Vietnam.
Kim n Kosiahn continue aujourd’hui sa création pour la plupart du temps en France, dans son atelier du Massif Central, au calme et près de la nature. Ayant une double culture elle s’inspire de ses différences pour construire son art. Ses créations visuelles se partagent entre la peinture et les installations.
