Takashi Murakami (b. 1962), one of contemporary art s most widely
recognized exponents, receives a long-awaited critical
consideration in this important volume. Accompanying the first
retrospective exhibition devoted solely to Murakami s paintings,
this book traces Murakami s career from his earliest training to
his current studio practice. Where other books address the
commercial aspects of Murakami s work, this is the first serious
survey of his work as a painter. Through essays and illustrations
many previously unpublished it explores the artist s relationship
to the tradition of Japanese painting and his facility in
straddling high and low, ancient and modern, Eastern and Western,
commercial and high art. New texts address Murakami s output in the
context of postwar Japan, situating the artist in relation to
folklore, traditional Japanese painting, the Tokyo art scene in the
1980s and 1990s, and the threat of nuclear annihilation. This
richly illustrated volume also includes a detailed biography and
exhibition history. Takashi Murakami is a true essential for
collectors and fans alike.

This volume will be the first monograph on the work of
Chicago-based artist William J. O'Brien (born 1975), produced to
accompany his first large-scale, solo exhibition opening at the
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in January 2014. The show
demonstrates the broad range of O'Brien's work--from sculpture and
ceramics to drawing, textiles and painting--and his guiding
interest in physicality and the handmade. The catalogue expands the
dominant narratives around his practice, which generally focus on
his ceramics, to more accurately reflect his diverse, prolific
practice as a whole. Exhibition curator Naomi Beckwith and
contributing author and curator Trevor Smith contextualize the
artist's work in light of recent modes in contemporary art
history--l'informe, the handmade and semiotic play. Critic Jason
Foumberg contributes a creative text inspired by the artist's
working process. Together, the contributing essays make a strong
contextual case for O'Brien's work that counters canonical themes
of media-specificity and traditional art materials, producing a
catalogue as expansive as the breadth of O'Brien's practice itself.

A beautifully produced, comprehensive examination of acclaimed
American artist Sarah Sze's painting practice Since the late 1990s,
Sarah Sze has developed a signature visual language that challenges
the static nature of art with a dynamic body of work spanning
sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, video and installation.
In recent years, Sze has returned to painting, the medium in which
she was first trained. Comprising constellations of painted and
collaged elements, her expansive abstract landscapes explore a
visual world that is constantly evolving, degrading, and generating
new ways of seeing. This book, created in close collaboration with
Sze, is the first monograph devoted to her painting practice.
Alfredo Jaar's immersive site-specific installation in the Chilean
pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale, Venezia Venezia is a call to
examine how today's culture, composed of increasingly complex
global networks, can be adequately represented on a world
stage.This publication features essays by 18 prominent,
international authors from different fields of work and thought,
including political and philosophical thinkers, critics, theorists,
art historians and curators. Their contributions consider Venezia
Venezia in its critical context, as well d recent global
developments and the volatile conditions of contemporary art
practice.
