Simon Baur
Scheidegger and Spiess, 2022
Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim is far more than just the creator of the iconic fur teacup. In the course of her career, she produced a complex, wide-ranging, and enigmatic body of work that has no parallel in modern art. Like an x-ray beam, this book scans Oppenheim’s artistic oeuvre, bringing its variety, playfulness, and poetry to the fore. Instead of simply answering the riddles posed by these intriguing works, it maps out the paths that will lead us to still more clues. Simon Baur is a leading expert in the life and art of Meret Oppenheim. The nine new essays featured in this volume are at once scholarly and easy to read. In them, Baur shares the many fascinating insights and interpretations that he has gleaned from his decades-long engagement with Oppenheim’s work. The result is an anthology that combines both biographical and thematic aspects and takes us on an exciting journey into the poetic cosmos of a truly great female artist.

Psychoanalyst Meets Marina Abramovic: Jeannette Fischer Meets Artist
Marina Abramović, Jeannette Fischer

Marina Abramović, Jeannette Fischer
Scheidegger and Spiess, 2018
In the summer 2015, famous performance artist Marina Abramovic and psychanalyst Jeannette Fischer spent four days together at Abramovic’s house in the Hudson Valley. Associating freely, they took a psychoanalytical perspective for a lengthy exploration of Abramovic’s biography and art and their interrelation. Abramovic went into this discussion in hopes of reaching a better understanding of herself, her personality, and her work. Conversations with artists are widely available, she notes, but a chance to use psychoanalysis to put an artist’s life and work in context is much rarer. The resulting book is neither a therapist’s report nor a Fischer’s analysis of Abramovic. Rather, it is a search for understanding conducted by the pair, looking for the structures and dynamics that underlie Abramovic’s life and art. The dialogues are presented along with Fischer’s comments on them and images of some of Abramovic’s performances that are referred to in the discussion.

Prune Nourry
Communic'art, 2019
Récemment soignée pour un cancer du sein, la jeune femme s'est sentie devenir, le temps du traitement de la maladie, sujet de son propre travail et sculpture aux mains des médecins. Dans cette nouvelle période, avec la série Catharsis, Prune Nourry, armée de ses outils de sculpteur, se réapproprie son corps et sa féminité, tissant un écho intime entre ses recherches passées et son expérience de vie. Les sculptures de Catharsis s'inscrivent dans la lignée des ex-voto, ces offrandes populaires qui, sous la forme d'un objet, d'un membre ou d'un organe, cristallisent les remerciements ou les espoirs de guérison des hommes et des femmes confrontés à la peur, à l'infertilité et à la maladie, comme l'expliquent Ittay Weinryb et les archéologues Valérie Delattre et Thérèse Duvernay, qui signent les textes introductifs

Amélie Bertrand

Editions Sémiose, 2023

Brice Matthieussent
Editions Sémiose, 2023
Au moyen d’une peinture d’une facture impeccablement lisse, Amélie Bertrand s’éloigne des paysages idéaux inspirés de la nature et forme des décors entre rêves et cauchemars. Ses plans et surfaces sont échafaudés avec complexité et minutie, pour bifurquer dans des perspectives biaisées et des horizons sans profondeur. Toutes sortes de matériaux et motifs typiques de l’époque saturent la composition : OSB, stratifié, grillage, carrelage, molleton, chaîne, feuillage, camouflage. Cette première monographie généreuse de la jeune peintre Amélie Bertrand, fait suite à un numéro du fanzine Pleased to meet you que Semiose éditions lui avait consacré en 2016. Cette fois, le portfolio regroupe les œuvres de 2016 à 2023, des peintures pour la plupart, mais aussi les nombreux projets sur différents supports tels la tapisserie d’Aubusson, les lithographies pour JRP Next, le tram à Nantes, les colonnes.

Action / Gesture / Paint: a global story of women and abstraction 1940-70

Laura Smith
Whitechapel Gallery, 2023
Drawing on the avant-garde movements of both Expressionism and Surrealism, the women of Abstract Expressionism redefined artistic practice as an immersive arena for action, process and consciousness. Their paintings were regarded not as images but as events. Although the movement officially began in mid-century USA, it quickly – through myriad means – spread around the world and became a catalyst for redefining ideas around aesthetics, poetry, philosophy and politics. This new publication, accompanying a major European touring exhibition, will include works by 40 artists from across the globe, from well-known practitioners such as Carmen Herrera, Etel Adnan, Sandra Blow and Helen Frankenthaler, to lesser-known names from countries such as Australia, China, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Mozambique, Romania and Venezuela: women who took up the ideas and methodologies of the movement but endowed them with specific cultural and subjective dimensions.
