The art by the Canadian Rodney Graham may come across as
light-footed, yet in reality it harbors an extraordinary complexity
in terms of content and its use of media. His photographs, objects,
paintings, films, texts, and compositions contain references to
philosophy and literature, to the history of art and culture, that
range from Erasmus of Rotterdam and Edgar Allan Poe to Sigmund
Freud, Richard Wagner, and Kurt Cobain. While in his early oeuvre
he still approaches his sources of material with a great deal of
conceptual rigor, in their playful ambivalence between scientific
factuality and imaginative fiction his later works are marked
primarily by an enormous and intelligent sense of humor.The Goetz
Collection includes works from all of his creative phases and
genres. This publication provides substantial insight into this
all-rounder's extensive artistic work of the last forty years and
extends an invitation to set out on a journey of
discovery.Exhibition: Sammlung Goetz, Munich 28.11.2015-23.4.2016
A limited-edition artist's book by one of the most respected
indie-underground cultural icons of our time.
An artist's book by visual artist and legendary indie rocker Kim
Gordon, this volume is an intoxicating look into Gordon's dreamy
visual world. Watercolors, paintings, photographs, and written word
combine to create a portrait of an artist's work inspired by
popular culture. The first 3,000 copies include a beautifully
printed, limited-edition signed print by Gordon. This luxurious yet
affordable package combines layers of media to create an extension
of the artist's portfolio, with written contributions by artist
Jutta Koether and writer Hilton Als. "Kim Gordon:
Performing/Guzzling" is the first in a series of books by Rizzoli
and Nieves that consists of beautifully designed books by artists,
photographers, and designers who have substantially contributed to
the texture of artistic culture. Each project will be an extension
of the artist's portfolio.
Tomanova's first book Young American (2019), featuring a foreword
by acclaimed photographer Ryan McGinley, sold out shortly after its
publication. Art and fashion magazines overflowed with enthusiasm.
Tomanova now presents, with art historian Thomas Beachdel, her
second volume on youth in New York City. Deftly entwining
portraiture and landscape, the photographer expands and
recontextualizes the significance and meaning of each. Tomanova
shows us a powerful and vital panorama of identities of people and
place, and a compelling future free of binary gender models and
outmoded definitions of beauty.
