Pablo Picasso's modest yet radical cardboard and sheet metal
"Guitar" sculptures (1912 and 1914, respectively) bracket a truly
incandescent period of structural, spatial and material
experimentation for the artist. In October 1912, while in what he
described as "the process of imagining a guitar," Picasso embraced
the techniques of assemblage, collage, construction and mixed-media
painting, frequently combining traditional artists' supplies--oil
paint, charcoal, pastel, ink--with what were then unconventional
materials, including cardboard, newspaper, wallpaper, sheet music
and sand. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum
of Modern Art, this volume situates Picasso's "Guitars" within the
constellation of objects that surrounded them in his studio,
affording a fresh understanding of the unique material and
historical qualities of the artist's work in the years immediately
prior to World War I. An essay by Anne Umland, Curator of Painting
and Sculpture at the Museum, uses photographs, correspondence,
archival records and eyewitness accounts, to explore Picasso's
practice and the remarkable institutional history behind the
acquisition of the two "Guitar" sculptures, both gifts to MoMA from
the artist.
Dada: The Collections of The Museum of Modern Art is the first
publication devoted exclusively to MoMA's unrivalled collection of
Dada works. Beginning with a core group acquired on the occasion of
the landmark Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism exhibition of 1936,
enriched in 1953 by a bequest selected by Marcel Duchamp, and
steadily augmented over the years, the Museum's Dada collection
presents the movement in its full international and
interdisciplinary scope during its defining years, from 1916
through 1924. Catalyzed by the major Dada exhibition that appeared
in Paris, Washington, D.C., and at The Museum of Modern Art in
2005-6, the book benefits from the latest scholarly thinking, not
only as found in the exhibition's catalogues but also in the
critical responses to them, as well as in an ambitious series of
seminars organized around the show. Featuring generously
illustrated essays that focus on a selection of the Museum's most
important Dada works, this publication highlights works in many
media, including books, journals, assemblages, collages, drawings,
films, paintings, photographs, photomontages, prints, readymades
and reliefs. It also includes a comprehensive catalogue of the
Museum's Dada holdings, including those in the Museum's Archives
and Library. Edited by Anne Umland and Adrian Sudhalter, members of
the Museum's Department of Painting and Sculpture, this book
inaugurates an ambitious new series of scholarly catalogues on the
Museum's collection.
