La idea de espacio en la arquitectura y el arte contemporáneos, 1960-1989

Autor: Javier Maderuelo Raso

Número de Páginas: 423

La presente obra recrea el espacio como tema en la arquitectura y el arte contemporáneos, principalmente en el periodo que abarca desde los primeros años sesenta hasta finales de los ochenta, cuando la idea de espacio cobró un especial protagonismo. El análisis del papel del espacio en las artes se centra en la escultura y sus desbordamientos, de manera que se establece una especie de dialéctica entre el espacio arquitectónico y el escultórico, rastreando los ricos márgenes que se han generado en los límites de ambas disciplinas y que han dado origen a otros nuevos géneros en los que lo espacial aparece como una de sus características más definitorias. Sin pretender llega a hacer una historia de la cultura de una época o momento determinado, este ensayo intenta superar las metodologías al uso en historiografía del arte, así como los conceptos preestablecidos sobre las distintas artes para, sirviéndose de ideas y acontecimientos filosóficos, artístico, musicales, literarios y arquitectónicos, trazar un perfil del ambiente cultural que se respiró en Occidente tras la Segunda Guerra mundial. Para ello se sirve de un hilo conductor: la idea de espacio.

Minimal Art

Autor: Daniel Marzona

Número de Páginas: 104

The bare minimum Often regarded as a backlash against abstract expressionism, Minimalism was characterized by simplified, stripped-down forms and materials used to express ideas in a direct and impersonal manner. By presenting artworks as simple objects, minimalist artists sought to communicate esthetic ideals without reference to expressive or historical themes. This critical movement, which began in the 1960s and branched out into land art, performance art, and conceptual art, is still a major influence today. This book explains the how, why, where and when of Minimal Art, and the artists who helped define it. Featured artists: Carl Andre, Stephen Antonakos, Jo Baer, Larry Bell, Ronald Bladen, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Robert Grosvenor, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Gary Kuehn, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, John McCracken, Robert Morris, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, Richard Serra, Tony Smith, Frank Stella, Robert Smithson, Anne Truitt About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre Series features: a detailed illustrated introduction plus a timeline of the most important political, cultural and social events that took place during that period a selection of the most important...

Locating Sol LeWitt

Autor: David S. Areford

Número de Páginas: 289

A revelatory consideration of the wide-ranging practice of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century A pioneer of minimalism and conceptual art, Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) is best known for his monumental wall drawings. LeWitt’s broad artistic practice, however, also included sculpture, printmaking, photography, artist’s books, drawings, gouaches, and folded and ripped paper works. From the familiar to the underappreciated aspects of LeWitt’s oeuvre, this book examines the ways that his art was multidisciplinary, humorous, philosophical, and even religious. Locating Sol LeWitt contains nine new essays that explore the artist’s work across media and address topics such as LeWitt’s formative friendships with colleagues at the Museum of Modern Art in the early 1960s; his photographs of Manhattan’s Lower East Side; his 1979 collaboration with Lucinda Childs and Philip Glass and its impact on his printmaking; and his commissions linked to Jewish history and the Holocaust. The essays offer insights into the role of parody, experimentation, and uncertainty in the artist’s practice, and investigate issues of site, space, and movement. Together, these...

Del arte objetual al arte de concepto

Autor: Simón Marchán Fiz

Número de Páginas: 488

Aspirando a ofrecer un balance de los años 60 y sus estribaciones en la década siguiente, esta obra ahonda en la poética de cada tendencia y logra sintonizar nuestra peculiar situación cultural, artística y política con el panorama artístico internacional. Entre la información positivista y la obsesión fenomenológica por retornar a las obras mismas, Marchán Fiz rebasa todo sociologismo como realismo social, lo que transluce las preocupaciones metodológicas del momento y los estímulos estéticos en sus análisis sobre las figuras de lo moderno y en su preocupación por los lenguajes artísticos. El texto que se convertiría en legitimador de lo “nuevo” y, es ahora, un ensayo clásico sobre el periodo abordado, presenta un epílogo sobre la sensibilidad “postmoderna” junto a numerosas reproducciones y una antología de textos, que permiten contrastar las numerosas oscilaciones experimentadas por el gusto.

La ironía estética. Estética romántica y arte moderno

Autor: Domingo Hernández Sánchez

Número de Páginas: 252

Examen de algunas claves procedentes del debate surgido en la estética romántica e idealista en torno al concepto de ironía, que ha continuado hasta la actualidad. Se presenta un entramado complejo de líneas de conexión entre la estética romántica y el arte moderno, mostrando las interferencias entre planteamientos, autores, teorías, filósofos o artistas, que imposibilitan cualquier análisis puro de la estética y el arte actuales.

The Originality of the Avant-Garde and Other Modernist Myths

Autor: Rosalind E. Krauss

Número de Páginas: 324

Co-founder and co-editor of October magazine, a veteran of Artforum of the 1960s and early 1970s, Rosalind Krauss has presided over and shared in the major formulation of the theory of postmodernism. In this challenging collection of fifteen essays, most of which originally appeared in October, she explores the ways in which the break in style that produced postmodernism has forced a change in our various understandings of twentieth-century art, beginning with the almost mythic idea of the avant-garde. Krauss uses the analytical tools of semiology, structuralism, and poststructuralism to reveal new meanings in the visual arts and to critique the way other prominent practitioners of art and literary history write about art. In two sections, "Modernist Myths" and "Toward Postmodernism," her essays range from the problem of the grid in painting and the unity of Giacometti's sculpture to the works of Jackson Pollock, Sol Lewitt, and Richard Serra, and observations about major trends in contemporary literary criticism.

Imagery

Autor: Bob Nugent

Número de Páginas: 276

In 1985, winemaker Joe Benziger and Sonoma artist Bob Nugent struck on the idea of putting original art on special releases of Imagery Estate wines. The goal was straight-forward: commission the world's modern art luminaries to create works for reproduction onto wine labels. Two decades and 160 labels later, they have assembled a staggering collection of contemporary art, from the likes of Sol Lewitt, Terry Winters, Nancy Graves, John Baldessari, Judy Pfaff, and Bob Arneson. This book highlights 133 works of art, the best of the Imagery collection. The images are big and lush, and accompanied by biographical sketches of the artists' careers, as well as a short description of their individual ideas and methods. The pictorial index shows the works in their label-form, from 1985 to the most recent vintages. These images are evocations of wine's multi-faceted ability to inspire us.

Minimalismo

Autor: David Bachelor

Número de Páginas: 84

La controversia que rodea al Equivalente VIII de Carl Andre, realiada con 120 ladrillos refractarios, da una idea de la dificultad que tienen algunos para ver como arte obras como ésta. Este libro pretende mostrar no sólo como 'Los Ladrillos' pueden ser vistos como arte, sino que una escultura como ésta es una de las obras más imaginativas e interesantes que aparecen en la década de los sesenta. El término Minimalismo ha sido aplicado a este libro de arte. Aunque los artistas implicados no se veían a sí mismos como un grupo, su obra es típicamente abstracta, tridimensional, modular, geométrica, preconcebida en su diseño e industrial en su ejecución. Esta introducción examina las implicaciones de estas características. Examinando en particular la obra de cinco artistas clave -Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt y Robert Morris- el autor destaca algunas de las diferencias más importantes en el desarrollo y dirección de la obra de cada artista. Esta publicación además de invitar a la reflexión considera también las diferentes críticas e interpretaciones a las que el Minimalismo ha estado sujeto a lo largo de los años. Termina comentando cómo el...

Art, Desire, and God

Autor: Kevin G. Grove , Christopher C. Rios , Taylor J. Nutter

Número de Páginas: 233

Bringing together thinkers from philosophy of religion, religious studies, music, art, and film, while drawing on a wealth of phenomenological resources and methods, a team of renowned scholars provide new vantages on the question of how art is an expression of the human desire for God. In three interrelated parts, chapters employ phenomenological tools to propose new ways for speaking of the desire for God. Scholars first draw upon music, sculpture, film, and painting to develop ways of expressing diverse philosophical and religious aspects characteristic of aesthetic experience. The discussion then opens up to examine the mystical and wounded aspects of embodied interface with God. The final part investigates embodied aesthetic praxis in philosophy of religion and religious studies. With several contributions engaging with the embodied, aesthetic experience of underrepresented voices, Art, Desire, and God offers constructive phenomenological bridges across divides of disciplines, aesthetic experiences, and embodied actions.

Open Enclosed: Donald Judd

Autor: Gillermo

Número de Páginas: 146

Taking "Specific Objects," the seminal text written by Judd in the mid-sixties, as the central theme, the author analyzes the artist's main concepts and his whole career from a new perspective: "what one seeks is an object that speaks of the world in which it is moving or of the world from which it is moving away. One searches for a boundary work, a frontier, that says, simultaneously, where it is coming from and where it is going, a work in which interests overlap. A work that will function as a mark or a crossroads, locating this work is the first exercise.

Artists Remake the World

Autor: Vid Simoniti

Número de Páginas: 240

An original and provocative exploration of the relationship between contemporary art, politics, and activism Artists Remake the World introduces readers to the political ambitions of contemporary art in the early twenty-first century and puts forward a new, wide-ranging account of art’s political potential. Surveying such innovations as evidence-driven art, socially engaged art, and ecological art, the book explores how artists have attempted to offer bold solutions to the world’s problems. Vid Simoniti offers original perspectives on contemporary art and its capacity as a force for political and social change. At its best, he argues, contemporary art allows us to imagine utopias and presents us with hard truths, which mainstream political discourse cannot yet articulate. Covering subjects such as climate change, social justice, and global inequality, Simoniti introduces the reader to a host of visionary contemporary artists from across the globe, including Ai Weiwei, Olafur Eliasson, Wangechi Mutu, Naomi Rincón Gallardo, and Hito Steyerl. Offering a philosophy of contemporary art as an experimental branch of politics, the book equips the reader with a new critical apparatus...

La fotografía

Autor: Rouillé, André

Número de Páginas: 648

Más allá de la historia, la verdadera apuesta de este libro es poner -la fotografía al derecho-: pensarla como una técnica en continuo proceso de transformación, fluida y plural, inherentemente vinculada a la praxis económica y social. Lejos de concebir a la fotografía instrumentalmente como una herramienta para representar personas, cosas y acciones, Rouillé la entiende como una técnica productiva y reproductiva que opera dialécticamente en el seno de la cultura capitalista.

La structure et l'objet

Ici, il ne s'agit pas de décrire, mais de dire. Non la beauté, mais la présence. C'est la lumière plombée du ciel noir; la terre retournée par le fer. C'est l'instant où, avant le cri, cette boule de chair androgyne suspendue entre la vie et la mort retient notre souffle. Mais comment dire, dans une saturation d'informations inertes, cette exception de choc, cette exception de présence ... ce temps d'un grand silence? L'objet, celui que nous cherchons -ce regard d'un autreprovoque l'arrêt. ...

Agnes Martin – Transcultural Translations

Autor: Mona Schieren

Número de Páginas: 385

The work of Agnes Martin has frequently been associated with East Asian philosophies. Particularly highlighting the oeuvre of this US artist, Mona Schieren presents comprehensive research on the influence of Asianist aesthetics in post-1945 American art. More than just historical analysis, her study opens an entirely new perspective on Martin’s appropriation of Asianisms by focusing on transcultural translation and redefining Martin’s work beyond Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. This offers new viewpoints on the aesthetic, philosophical, and visual relationships in American postwar art and takes a nuanced approach that moves beyond generalized notions of “Zen” in the US art world. Schieren’s exploration of the intentional and specific uses of Asianist aesthetics profoundly contributes to insights in international art histories and cultural translations.

The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art

Autor: Martha Buskirk

Número de Páginas: 324

An exploration of transformations in the nature of the art object and artistic authorship in the last four decades. In this book, Martha Buskirk addresses the interesting fact that since the early 1960s, almost anything can and has been called art. Among other practices, contemporary artists have employed mass-produced elements, impermanent materials, and appropriated imagery, have incorporated performance and video, and have created works through instructions carried out by others. Furthermore, works of art that lack traditional signs of authenticity or permanence have been embraced by institutions long devoted to the original and the permanent. Buskirk begins with questions of authorship raised by minimalists' use of industrial materials and methods, including competing claims of ownership and artistic authorship evident in conflicts over the right to fabricate artists' works. Examining recent examples of appropriation, she finds precedents in pop art and the early twentieth-century readymade and explores the intersection of contemporary artistic copying and the system of copyrights, trademarks, and brand names characteristic of other forms of commodity production. She also...

Número de Páginas: 572

First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.
