Ce n'est que dans les années 1990 que Louise Bourgeois a acquis une reconnaissance mondiale pour ses réalisations artistiques, devenant célèbre pour ses sculptures monumentales. Mais c'est grâce à ces premières peintures à l'huile que l'artiste a d'abord développé le vocabulaire formel et défini la thématique des préoccupations qu'elle continuerait d'explorer. Dans cette publication s'étendant sur six décennies, elle a réussi à exprimer des impulsions contradictoires et des oppositions binaires comme figuration et abstraction, masculin et féminin, conscient et inconscient, ??au sein d'une seule et même oeuvre. Ce catalogue accompagne la première grande exposition personnelle de Lousie Bourgeois en Europe consacrée à ses peintures au 22 September 2023 - 28 January 2024 au Belvédère à Vienne.

Collages that use splitting and doubling to reflect on the duplicitous figure of the uncanny.
British artist John Stezaker (born 1949) cuts out actors in publicity photos and pastes the remainder onto a dark ground to create hollowed-out silhouettes. The works in this collection superimpose one negative silhouette on top of another in a way that transforms both. -

A reexamination of an exiled German artist's final works at war's end.
German draughtsman George Grosz (1893-1959) created his last major series of paintings and watercolors, the «Stick Men», beginning in the mid-1940s in reaction to the Holocaust and the other atrocities of the Second World War. The deployment of atomic bombs in Japan and the threat of a Third World War further deepened what the artist termed his «despair, hate and disillusionment.» In his final works, he drew his figures as dehumanized, famished beings aimlessly wandering through a contaminated, post-apocalyptic world. As the first exhibition of the «Stick Men» series following the artists' death, this catalog contradicts the notion that Grosz had become «soft» and apolitical during his years spent in the United States. Rather, this series is the culmination of the political and artistic convictions of a lifetime of struggle: a timely and relevant legacy even today. -

The special thing about Boris Mikhailov as a `book maker' is that he thinks of and develops photography in sequences, in spaces and cuts, in the forms of its montage. Viewed as a whole, his books and book drafts - which often only exist as one original copy - create a retrospective of a very unique and intimate kind. The artist's books Krymskaja Fotomanija (Crimean Photomania) and Mountains, each with 128 pages, are shown here in facsimile, accompanied by 80 pages of illustrated text. Boris Mikhailov is seen as a chronicler of his Ukrainian homeland: the everyday life of the so-called `little people' on the street, on the beach, at dances - anywhere that the politic becomes visible in the private. Drawing on this material, Mikhailov explores both the human condition and the history and decline of the Soviet Union - and the consequences of its fall.

One of the most important artists of his generation, Olafur Eliasson (born 1967) creates immersive environments and spectacular public installations that probe the cognitive aspects of vision and transform the act of looking into a social experience. Merging art and science, Eliasson engages the observer as participant, challenging the passive viewing experience by utilizing such elements as temperature, smell, moisture and light to trigger physical sensations. Olafur Eliasson: Inner City Out documents the artist's first project in Berlin, where he has lived and worked for many years. Designed for the Martin-Gropius-Bau, and curated by Daniel Birnbaum, it examines the relationship between the museum and the city, bridging the two through ephemeral installations placed in various locations throughout the city as well as within the museum itself.

On Fontana's decades-long experiments in terracotta, plaster, concrete, metal and more.
Hauser & Wirth's new Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) publication charts the uncategorizable artist's exploration of sculpture from the 1930s until his death. In a substantial essay, curator and leading Fontana scholar Luca Massimo Barbero explores ceramics as "the ideal material for the Fontanian gesture" and reexamines Fontana's experimentation with terracotta, clay, plaster, concrete and metal. Researcher Cristina Beltrami resituates Fontana as a pioneering artist in the European postwar context, investigating his exchanges with other Italian and international practitioners.
The monograph, a collaboration with the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, also includes a biographical essay by the foundation's Maria Villa, tracing the artist's life through his ever-innovating sculptural practice, and serves as a companion volume to Lucio Fontana: Walking the Space. -
Available for a limited time, this artist's book by renowned visual artist Tacita Dean explores her chance encounters with objects in the archives of the Getty Research Institute.
As the Getty Research Institute artist in residence in 2014-15, Tacita Dean was asked to define a subject and identify a path of research. What she proposed instead was a project titled "The Importance of Objective Chance as a Tool of Research." Her idea was to allow chance to be her guide. Dean researched randomly, picking out boxes from the collections without knowing their contents, meandering through objects and images from sources as varied as medieval alchemy books to twentieth-century artist letters. Monet Hates Me features reproductions of fifty artworks she created from Getty's archival holdings along with enlightening texts that expand on her method of research and illustrate her encounters with the archives.

La peintre allemande Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) était bien plus que « la femme aux côtés de Kandinsky » et les études des deux dernières décennies ont renforcé sa réputation en tant qu'une des principales protagonistes de l'avant-garde allemande. Son utilisation de couleurs saturées et de lignes en forme de blocs, s'inspirant à la fois des tendances expressionnistes et fauvistes, a même produit un changement considérable dans la palette et dans les compositions de Kandinsky. Ce volume accompagne une exposition personnelle complète de l'oeuvre de Gabrielle Münter au Musée Léopold de Vienne, la première en Autriche. Divisée en dix axes thématiques, cette publication analyse les étapes fondamentales de sa vie, qui ont souvent coïncidé avec des ajustements dans son style. Les 250 images en couleur comprennent plus de 120 oeuvres provenant de collections internationales publiques et privées, notamment des peintures à l'huile, des oeuvres graphiques, des dessins, des photographies, des objets et des carnets de croquis, offrant un aperçu approfondi de l'oeuvre aux multiples facettes de l'artiste.

Contemplating perception and representation with two titans of photorealism.
This publication brings together for the first time the work of New York-based artist Vija Celmins (born 1938) and Colgone-based painter Gerhard Richter (born 1932) in a transatlantic dialogue that reveals surprising connections. Their works have been paired together at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in an exhibition spanning over 60 paintings, drawings, prints and objects. This study offers comparisons between some of the artists' most notable works, including Celmins' To Fix the Image in Memory and Richter's Seascape (Sea Sea). In addition to their thematic similarities and the fact that both have worked with photographic models throughout their careers, Celmins and Richter share an interest in the most elementary conditions of representation. This revelatory pairing invokes questions of reality, visibility and the nature of perception itself. -

The first ever survey of the pioneering feminist artist.
A comprehensive catalog on the work of New York artist Rosemary Mayer (1943-2014), Ways of Attaching provides an overview of the artist's work, moving from early conceptual experiments of the late 1960s through to textile sculptures and drawings made in the early 1970s, before focusing on propositional and durational performances and temporary monuments made from 1977 to 1982.
Highlighting Mayer's formal interest in draping, knotting and tethering, Ways of Attaching focuses on the artist's process of constructing real and imagined networks and constellations, in which friends and historical figures feature in expressions of affinity and attachment. It additionally features facsimile reproductions of Mayer's writings and newly commissioned essays reflecting on her work and the influences of astronomy, feminism, the art scene in New York in the 1960s and '70s, poetry, religion and Renaissance painting. -
Les peintures, dessins et collages de l'artiste danois Tal R (1967) sont tout sauf académiques - d'où le titre ironique de ce volume qui passe en revue les oeuvres des 20 dernières années de sa vaste production ainsi qu'une série de nouvelles créations. Depuis le début de sa carrière dans les années 1990, Tal R oscille entre figuration et abstraction avec un oeil particulier pour les espaces négligés, cachés et refoulés de la vie moderne.
