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.
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.
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.
Whether it's Georg Baselitz or Olafur Eliasson, Tacita Dean or
Martin Kippenberger: these are the greats who have frequented Niels
Borch Jensen's printmaking studio in Copenhagen. And they've been
coming and going for more than forty years! Not only because of his
special, farsighted expertise, which contributes to the congenial
creation of unique works of art, but also due to his wish to reject
any imposition of aesthetic limitations and to constantly attempt
new things. A look at the story of the studio and its founder,
therefore, also means taking a look through the kaleidoscope of
contemporary art history. This volume is an excursion behind the
scenes at the famous printmaking workshop. Exclusive artist
interviews and the personal recollections of Niels Borch Jensen
offer intriguing insights into the craft of printmaking and the
collaborations with epoch-making artists.

The featured artists, which include Olafur Eliasson, Do Ho Suh,
Hadley & Maxwell, Jessica Eaton and more, incorporate intuitive
gestures within their practices, with the resulting sensory
experience in mind. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of the
same name, on view at the Art Gallery of Hamilton through summer
and fall 2015, curated by Melissa Bennett, Curator of Contemporary
Art at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. The show takes the viewer on a
journey through which affect, evocation, empathy, synesthesia, the
unconscious and sensual perception live together, providing a
context for both reflection and engagement. Beyond the physical
presence of the artworks, the exhibition explores subtle themes
such as transcendence, and the ways in which an artwork can be both
immanent and starkly present, while engaging with conceptual or
political undercurrents. Contributors include Melissa Bennett,
Jennifer Fischer and Jim Drobnick, and Gabrielle Moser.

Experience spans Eliasson's career to date via images of his
installations, sculptures, paintings, photographs, films,
architectural projects, and interventions in public space - each
with an extended caption to guide readers through the work
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.
