The definitive monograph on the work of sculptor, installation artist, and Arte Povera pioneer Luciano Fabro Luciano Fabro was a founding member, and later leading critic, of Arte Povera, the materials- and experience-based art movement that began in Italy in the late 1960s. He went on to be exhibited internationally, becoming the first artist from the group to receive a major US retrospective, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1992. Fabro was a controversial artist, yet still a critical favorite: in 2018 the leading art publication The Brooklyn Rail dedicated an entire issue to Fabro; and New York Times critic Roberta Smith wrote that Fabro treated ‘artmaking less as a profession and more as a continuing experiment intended to keep himself entertained and the viewer slightly off-balance’. This comprehensive, heavily illustrated monograph is the first complete overview of Fabro’s life and career, written by esteemed critic and curator Margit Rowell, who interacted with Fabro repeatedly in his later years, and is published with the full support and participation of the artist’s estate and international galleries, Paula Cooper (New York), Christian Stein (Milan) and Simon Lee (London and Hong Kong).
Josef Albers' groundbreaking series Homage to the Square comprises roughly two thousand oil paintings. His continuous reflections and refinements for more than 25 years inspired numerous young minimal and conceptual artists in their search for a reduced formal language. This outstanding catalogue explores the secret of Albers' subtle aesthetic and unearths its preconditions: What is the significance of the square? How does his impression of color and its use as a material change during this period? Featuring studies on paper, archival materials, as well as essays by internationally leading Albers experts, Margit Rowell and Donal Judd, this richly illustrated publication sheds light on the various inspirations that influenced Albers early on in Europe and later in America, and illustrates the lasting impact of his art and thinking.
For nearly seven decades the ebullient art of Joan Miro (1893-1983), Spanish painter, sculptor, ceramist and mythmaker, has intrigued and enchanted art lovers worldwide. This collection of his writings presents a portrait of the artist in his own words. Miro's notebooks, letters, and interviews reveal the work and life of a brilliant artist revered for his uncanny expression of the subconscious. "Joan Miro" centres on Paris during the vibrant era between the wars, when Miro became the intimate of almost everyone in that scene - boxing with young Hemingway, working with Max Ernst on the Ballets Russes, drinking, painting and arguing with Picasso, Braque, Dubuffet, Matisse, Breton and many others. Miro engagingly recounts all of this, as well as stories of his exile during World War II. Miro's virtuosity encompassed drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, poetry, stage sets, costumes, murals and tapestries; he vividly describes the creation of these artworks in these pages.
