A monograph surveying the storied career of German artist Hans Haacke, on the occasion of a major retrospective exhibition
Born in Germany in 1936, Hans Haacke is known for his intellectual and politically engaged art that has long shed light on systems of power. A pioneer of institutional critique, conceptual art, and environmental art, Haacke creates incisive, often site-specific works that call upon the viewer to engage or participate and thereby question invisible structural dynamics at play in society. This book offers an opportunity to revisit the artist’s thought-provoking career in light of contemporary culture.

Over the past thirty years, Jim Shaw has become one of America's
most visionary artists, moving between painting, sculpture, and
drawings, while building connections between his own psyche and the
larger political, social, and spiritual history of America. Shaw's
imagery is mined from comic books, record covers, conspiracy
magazines, obscure religious pamphlets, and other cultural refuse
to produce a portrait of the American subconscious out of his
personal obsessions. Shaw, along with fellow Michigan native Mike
Kelley, moved to California in the 1970s to attend Cal Arts and was
one of a number of notable artists to emerge from the school in the
early 1980s. Shaw's work is distinguished by rigorous formal and
structural analyses of neglected forms of vernacular culture.
Accompanying a major exhibition, this is the first major monograph
devoted to the entirety of the artist's unique, multifaceted
career.

artistic practices. Though distinct in their approaches, these
artists are connected by their deep engagement with their local
context and a critical examination - and embrace - of the sense of
internationalism that defines our time.
