A sweeping retrospective exploring the oeuvre of an incandescent
artist, revealing the ways that Mitchell expanded painting beyond
Abstract Expressionism as well as the transatlantic contexts that
shaped her Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) was fearless in her
experimentation, creating works of unparalleled beauty, strength,
and emotional intensity. This gorgeous book unfolds the story of an
artistic master of the highest order, revealing the ways she
expanded abstract painting and illuminating the transatlantic
contexts that shaped her. Lavish illustrations cover the full arc
of her artistic practice, from her exceptional New York paintings
of the early 1950s to the majestic multipanel compositions she made
in France later in her career. Signature works are represented here
along with rarely seen paintings, works on paper, artist's
sketchbooks, and photographs of Mitchell's life, social circle, and
surroundings. Featuring scholarly texts, in-depth essays, and
artistic and literary responses, this book is organized in ten
chronological chapters. Each chapter centers on a closely related
suite of paintings, illuminating a shifting inner landscape colored
by experience, sensation, memory, and a deep sense of place.
Presenting groundbreaking research and a variety of perspectives on
her art, life, and connections to poetry and music, this
unprecedented volume is an essential reference for Mitchell's
admirers and those just discovering her work. Published in
association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Exhibition

Volume 79 of the influential international art journal "Parkett"
features Jon Kessler, Marilyn Minter and Albert Oehlen. In the
tinkered gadgetry of Kessler's retro sci-fi installations, we peek
through surveillance cameras to see our own image among his analog
programs crammed with detritus of all kinds. Kessler's vista of
(d)evolved cyberstuff is in a manic state of accumulation, as this
data-diving artist masters the ecology of pure information. Within
Marilyn Minter's fetishistic, flawless pictures, we find a painter
obsessed with the clear articulation of magnified sweat beads and
pore-smeared glitter. In each successive lip-smacking painting,
Minter sets out to perfect beauty's disguise, affirming both her
pleasure in fashion imagery, and an appreciation of its vulgar
mishaps--say, a drag queen's eyelashes clumped together with too
much mascara. According to essayist John Kelsey, Albert Oehlen's
collage-paintings "seem almost bored of their own shock-value." And
yet this artist, one of the most significant German painters of the
past 20 years, can make boredom look like a rigorous, if not
delirious experiment. Also featured: Spencer Finch, Gelitin and
Mark Wallinger, as well as essayists Paul Bonaventura, Mark
Godfrey, Glenn O'Brien, Katy Siegel, Andrea Scott and Pamela Lee,
to name a few.
A companion to the upcoming exhibition of Reed s 1974 75
brushstroke paintings, this book features colour plates of works
originally exhibited in 1975 at Susan Caldwell Gallery. Along with
installation images and plates from that seminal exhibition,
related paintings, performances, and film images appear throughout
the book in the form of a visual essay. New texts by Richard Hell
and Reed appear alongside reprints from the time, including the
original exhibition text by Paul Auster. A conversation between
Katy Siegel and artist Christopher Wool unfolds the significance
and legacy of Reed s early work.
Carrie Moyer consciously centres her painting as a practice about
painting, with history as a subtext. Known for her incursions into
Colour Field painting, Moyer also traces her influences to iconic
female artists of the twentieth century, such as Georgia O Keeffe,
and surrounding questions of taste, once quipping of her paintings
that [Helen] Frankenthaler and [Fernand] Leger met in a dark corner
and had Elizabeth Murray. Moyer s complex work merges abstract
aesthetics and legible imagery: vividly coloured and textured forms
are embedded with a range of historical, stylistic, and physical
references to Surrealism, Modernism, 1960s and 70s counterculture
graphics, and 70s feminist art. Moyer often works on the floor,
pouring, rolling, stippling, mopping the paint, and embellishing
with glitter. An exploration of acrylic s unique properties is a
driving force in her work. Beginning as an intern at HERESIES, the
pioneering feminist art magazine, Moyer has also engaged in
critical practices beyond the studio. This monograph enriches a
deep dive into Moyer s painting practice, in particular her work of
the past decade, with a portfolio of the artist s agitprop from the
1990s, including Dyke Action Machine! (DAM!), one of the first
lesbian public art projects.
