Monet's Vetheuil in Winter (Hardcover): Susan Grace Galassi, Olafur Eliasson Monet's Vetheuil in Winter (Hardcover)
Susan Grace Galassi, Olafur Eliasson
R555 Discovery Miles 5 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Claude Monet’s Vétheuil in Winter (1878-79), painted during the artist’s first winter in the village, depicts his new home on the Seine, seen from the opposite bank of the river. Monet’s two and a half years in Vétheuil, a small farming community northwest of Paris, saw two severe winters, the inspiration for this impressionist masterpiece, which is the subject of this ninth volume in the Frick Diptych series. Susan Grace Galassi has written an insightful and engaging essay about Monet’s difficult but productive time in Vétheuil, which saw the death of his wife Camille. The Frick's Monet painting, the only work by the artist in the collection is the basis for other significant canvases made during his stay in the village in both winter and summer. Galassi's essay is accompanied by a text and intriguing new work—Colour experiment no. 109—by the artist Olafur Eliasson, created in response to the Monet painting. Eliasson’s work will be shown at the Frick next to the painting that inspired it.

One of the most wide-ranging and ambitious creative minds of his generation, Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has produced a dizzying spectrum of work around the world. Best known for his large-scale public works in a wide range of settings, from museums to gardens, his constant inventiveness and publicly oriented projects across the globe have entranced huge numbers of people. Focusing on a single artwork situated across a large site in his native country, the project's title refers to the glaciers that formed the landscape around sites in Denmark, as can still be seen in the country's topography and geology. Five mirrors, ranging from a perfect circle to elongated ellipses, reflect the changing sky above and the contemplator's own gaze as if in the surfaces of glacial pools. This book offers a unique and highly detailed insight, captured over the course of four seasons, of a singular landscape. Working with geologists, landscape architects and other specialists, Eliasson has created a unique space seen by few. This publication documents and enhances the work itself through photographs, essays and collaborators who render the poetic power of the project in images and words. Exquisitely produced and packaged in a limited quantity, this very special volume is a gift to collectors, bibliophiles and all those seeking new perspectives on one of the world's leading artists.

Parkett 64 2002 June (Book, 2002 ed.): Olafur Eliasson, Tom Friedman, Rodney Graham Parkett 64 2002 June (Book, 2002 ed.)

R807 Discovery Miles 8 070 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Presenting unique and in-depth collaborations and editions with leading contemporary artists, Parkett has been the foremost international journal on art for nearly two decades. Issue #64 features collaborations with temporary Olafur Eliasson (Denmark), Tom Friedman (United States), and Rodney Graham (Canada), three artists whose investigations of the seemingly mundane draw viewers into their imaginative musings on everyday life. Eliasson makes ambitious indoor and outdoor projects that incorporate ephemeral and elemental materials, and also documents these elements and their effects in his photographs. Friedman uses common everyday materials in his intensely-crafted sculptures and objects, imaginatively transforming fugitive materials into sly commentaries and investigations on the household object. Graham's videos, photographs, and audio works incorporate repetition and a Chaplin-esque deadpan humor as a means of commenting on and philosophizing about life and its many foibles. Contributing writers include Ina Blom and Jessica Morgan on Eliasson; Dan Cameron, John Waters, and Midori Matsui on Friedman; and Lynne Cooke and Matthew Hale on Graham. Also in this issue, novelist A.M. Homes interviews artist and photographer Chris Verene.

Architectural Atmospheres - On the Experience and Politics of Architecture (Hardcover): Christian Borch Architectural Atmospheres - On the Experience and Politics of Architecture (Hardcover)
Christian Borch; Contributions by Christian Borch, Gernot Boehme, Olafur Eliasson, Juhani Pallasmaa
R725 Discovery Miles 7 250 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Architecture is increasingly understood to be a sensual, spatial experience, which means that the experience of buildings and spatial constellations is also a perception of atmospheres that are rated as positive or negative. Architects, planners, investors, and politicians must produce effects such as these according to intersubjective and communicable criteria, and not intuitively or randomly. Architectural Atmospheres addresses the growing awareness of the atmospheric dimension of architecture and provides a current, programmatic discussion of this topic. What possibilities does this approach open to architecture, what value does this knowledge have? Three essays and a conversation lead a cross-discipline discussion on the impact of architecture, and contribute to the debate first initiated by Peter Zumthor. The texts are accompanied by thirty-five color images that capture architectural moods in a variety of ways. Gernot Boehme is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Darmstadt Technical University and Director of the Institute for Practical Philosophy, e.V., Ipph, in Darmstadt, Germany. Christian Borch is Professor of Political Sociology at the Department of Management, Politics, and Philosophy, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. Olafur Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist. Eliasson incessantly explores our modes of perceiving. His work spans photography, installation, sculpture, and film. Juhani Pallasmaa is one of Finland's most distinguished architects and architectural thinkers.
