Sea, Sky, Land: Towards a Map of Everything brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by world renowned artist Enrique Martinez Celaya, from 2005 to the present. Following his installation of Schneebett at the Berliner Philharmonie in 2004, Martinez Celaya's work has undergone significant transformation while remaining intellectually and emotionally ambitious, connecting art to philosophy, literature, and science. This book, a companion to the exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, shows Martinez Celaya's work of the last seventeen years as an artistic, poetic, and intellectual mapping of an existential landscape the artist crosses in a search for meaning. Sea, Sky, Land: Towards a Map of Everything, co-edited in collaboration with the artist, includes over 120 illustrations; an introduction by Selma Holo; essays by Susan M. Anderson, Alexander Nemerov, Elizabeth Prelinger, and Ed Schad; poetry by Mark Irwin and David St. John; and an interview with the artist."

This collection, spanning two decades of artistic activity, features selections of writings tracing the intellectual influences and development of one of the more formidable and productive minds in the contemporary art world. The writings of Enrique Martinez Celaya comprise public lectures; essays; interviews; correspondence with artists, critics, and scholars; artist statements; blog posts; and journal entries. This selection of writings includes the six public lectures Martinez Celaya delivered during his three-year appointment as the second Visiting Presidential Professor at the University of Nebraska. Marked by an encyclopedic curiosity and considerable knowledge about the world, these lectures explore the nature of photography and painting, the role of the artist as prophet, the relationship of art to the university and the museum, as well as reflections on his own work. Enrique Martinez Celaya: Collected Writings and Interviews, 1990-2010 features seventy-nine photographs from Martinez Celaya's collection; an introduction by Klaus Ottmann, who teaches art history at the School of Visual Arts in New York and is the Robert Lehman Curator for The Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York; and a foreword by James B.

The artist Enrique Martinez Celaya and the collector couple Gudrun and Martin Fritsch have shared the same passion for decades: enthusiasm for and preoccupation with the work of Kathe Kollwitz. While the Berlin collector couple built up the most important privately owned Kollwitz collection, the artist referred to the artist in many ways in his work. Parallels can also be found in the artistic practice of Martinez Celaya and Kollwitz. The work of both artists occupies a space between drawing and sculpture and articulates a deeply felt humanism as an expression of their respective biographies. On the occasion of the exhibition at Galerie Judin, Enrique Martinez Celaya created a group of works distilling his examination of Kathe Kollwitz, which now enters into an exciting dialogue with the works from the Fritsch Collection.

This collection, spanning nearly a decade of artistic activity, features selections of writings that trace the intellectual influences and track the development of one of the more formidable and productive minds in the contemporary art world. The writings comprise Enrique Martinez Celaya's public lectures; essays; interviews; correspondence with artists, critics, and scholars; artist statements; blog posts; and journal entries. These texts were written during Martinez Celaya's appointment as Visiting Presidential Professor at the University of Nebraska; Roth Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Dartmouth College; and, most recently, as the first Provost Professor of Humanities and Arts at the University of Southern California. Marked by Martinez Celaya's encyclopedic curiosity and considerable knowledge about the world, these writings and interviews explore the role of art in life, evaluate texts by other modern and contemporary artists and thinkers, and reveal the artist's deep engagement with artistic, philosophical, and literary lines of inquiry.
