The first and highly-anticipated monograph on one of the most
successful, collected, and exciting painters today Swiss-born
Nicolas Party, one of the most successful and critically acclaimed
artists working today, is known for his color-saturated paintings
of everyday objects, with distinctly personal yet very accessible
and recognizable imagery - bright, graphic patterns applied to
canvases, ceramics, furniture, floors, ceilings, doorways, and
walls. He captures the essence of his subjects in surprising ways,
heightening their physical and emotional resonance. Fascinated by
the power of paint to alter our perception of the built environment
and, within a gallery context, how we experience art, Party
regularly paints murals, either as stand-alone works or as
carefully orchestrated settings for his practice. This is the first
book dedicated to his practice and the first to examine in totality
his career to date - it will be a must-read for collectors and
followers of the contemporary art scene.

Frances Stark deftly deploys text, image and literary sources in
her drawings, collages, paintings and video works that reflect on
her roles as artist, mother, woman and teacher. Throughout her
career she has experimented with alternative modes of expression,
as in her critically acclaimed video, My Best Thing; her PowerPoint
work Structures that fit my opening (and other parts considered in
relation to their whole); and the performance Put a Song in Your
Thing. Companion to an exhibition that documents Stark's 25-year
long career, this book contains 125 works in which Stark employs
words and images to create provocative and self-referential works
that speak to the complexities of daily life. This book includes
full-page detailed images that provide an insight into the highly
tactile and complex nature of Stark's work. Also included are newly
commissioned essays and a collection of brief reflections by a
variety of prominent artists and writers whom Stark asked to
revisit specific topics they've discussed or written about
previously.Filled with high-quality reproductions and thoughtful
commentary, this book is the definitive resource on Stark's
accomplished, varied and affecting body of work. Published in
association with Hammer Museum, Los Angeles
The book features stills from numerous works spanning more than 20
years of creative production, as well as essays on Friedman's
oeuvre and an extended interview with the artist. Friedman is known
for works that combine precise craftsmanship with emotional
intensity, transforming everyday sights and sounds into the raw
material for sensual, often euphoric encounters. Among other
themes, the book focuses on the dichotomy in Friedman's work
between the private realm and the public sphere, presenting scenes
of high-pitched energy unfolding amid crowded urban settings,
alongside quiet moments of poignant, individual experience.
