Ada Masoero , Giovanni Lista
Silvana Editoriale, 2008
Con una mostra dedicata a Giacomo Balla festeggia i suoi trent’anni la Galleria Fonte d’Abisso di Milano, fedele allo spirito che ha contraddistinto la sua attività, da sempre improntata alla riscoperta e divulgazione del futurismo, una tendenza artistica che, negli anni settanta, era fortemente discussa e svalutata. Attraverso una quarantina di opere, questa inedita esposizione mette a confronto le due “anime”, di pittore e di scultore, di Giacomo Balla, che seppe essere grande, inventivo e geniale in entrambe le espressioni artistiche. Documentata nel catalogo è infine una scelta di dipinti e disegni in cui appare con evidenza la costante riflessione sulla tridimensionalità da lui condotta in pittura. Il catalogo, che accoglie i testi critici di Ada Masoero e Giovanni Lista, è completato da apparati bibliografici.

Awarded the Turner Prize in 1987, Richard Deacon (b.1944) has occupied the foreground of British sculpture since the early 1980s and continues to be an artist of profound international significance, fulfilling major public sculpture commissions around the world. The new edition of this monograph has been updated to include over 50 additional pages documenting the artist's work since 1995, including a major retrospective at the Tate Liverpool. The Update essay by Penelope Curtis, Head of Programmes at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, approaches Deacon's recent work through an examination of the links between his drawings and collages and the three-dimensional sculptures. In the Survey, British writer and curator Jon Thompson traces the genealogy of Deacon's work in relation to language. The artist talks with Pier Luigi Tazzi, Co-Director of Documenta 9, about the context of space and place. In the Focus, U.S. art critic Peter Schjeldahl reveals the complexities of a single sculpture, Keeping the Faith (1992). The Artist's Choice, by renowned anthropologist Mary Douglas, is on dirt 'as a matter out of place'. His own writings are on subjects ranging from Rilke's poetry to the car as public sculpture.

Raymond Daussy, Galerie Alain Blondel
Editions Natiris, 1984
Artiste rare, Raymond Daussy se forme à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, puis de Paris, avant d'exposer régulièrement au Salon d'Automne à partir de 1941. Il s'est surtout fait connaître dans les années quarante, époque où il a participé aux activités du groupe Surréalisme-révolutionnaire. Daussy est au cœur d'une pensée déchirée dont il est aisé de concevoir qu'elle pouvait porter simultanément tous les espoirs et bien des désespoirs : la condition ouvrière, l'évolution du stalinisme vers un réalisme-socialiste toujours plus obtus, le national-socialisme et la guerre, l'espoir révolutionnaire, le surréalisme et son désir de libération de l'esprit.
