Phaidon's 'Vitamin' series has long proved an extraordinarily
accurate predictor of tomorrow's stars. This paperback edition of
the latest volume is a cutting-edge and indispensable survey of the
very best of contemporary drawing, as chosen by a panel of the
world's leading art experts Over the past 50 years, drawing has
been elevated from a supporting role to a primary medium, ranking
alongside painting as a central art form. Since Phaidon's
publication of the first such surveys (Vitamin D in 2005 and D2 in
2013), contemporary artists have continued to explore drawing's
possibilities - from intimate to large-scale works, in a diversity
of mark-making processes and materials. Vitamin D3 showcases more
than 100 such artists, as nominated by a global panel of more than
70 international art experts. The more than 70 nominators include
such iconic figures as: Iwona Blazwick, Louisa Buck, Mark Coetzee,
Thelma Golden, Laura Hoptman, Geeta Kapur, Pablo Leon de la Barra,
Christine Macel, Kate Macfarlane, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Zoe
Whitley. The more than 100 selected artists include: Miriam Cahn,
Robert Crumb, Tom Friedman, Tania Kovats, Claudette Johnson, Rashid
Johnson, Otobong Nkanga, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Deanna Petherbridge,
Christina Quarles, Qiu Zhijie, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Wael Shawky,
Emma Talbot, and Johanna Unzueta.

A groundbreaking examination of Mel Bochner's inventive drawing
practice produced collaboratively with the artist Encompassing both
works on paper and oversized wall drawings made from the 1960s to
the present, this handsomely designed volume documents the
first-ever museum retrospective of drawings by Mel Bochner (b.
1940). Drawing has long been critical to the work of this
pioneering conceptual artist, and essayists explore the theoretical
framework and playful experimentation of his decades-long practice.
The book, conceived and designed in close collaboration with the
artist, features his own writings about his philosophy of wall
drawings and reflections on significant exhibitions of his work.
Bochner was a key figure of the Minimalist and Conceptual Art
movements whose first exhibition in 1966 is now recognized as
seminal. Today the artist is known for works in a range of media
that explore the conventions of language and visual art as well as
the relationships between them; his experimental works on paper,
canvas, and wall-all of which are celebrated here-are a
foundational facet of his practice and a critical influence on
contemporary art. Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago

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 studies reveal the full scope of LeWitt's
creativity and offer a multifaceted reassessment of this singular
and influential artist.
American artist Michelle Stuart (*1938 in California) is
internationally known for a rich and diverse body of work stemming
from her lifelong interest in the natural world and the cosmos.
Working in drawing, sculpture, photography, video, installation and
site-specific earthworks, she has pursued a subtle and responsive
dialogue with nature, distinct from the epic gestures of American
Land Art. Spanning the period from the late 1960s to the present
day, this publication encompasses a varied and unconventional range
of media, while highlighting Stuart's major contribution to the
practice of drawing. During the seventies she won recognition for
her monumental drawings made outdoors, which have the
characteristics of specific sites ingrained in their surfaces.
Other works respond to the Nazca Lines in Peru, the Uffington White
Horse in the UK and New Mexican petroglyphs, pushing our
understanding of drawing beyond the page. Featuring three new
essays and an interview with Stuart, this publication will be the
definitive resource on the pioneering artist's work to date.
