In 1977, Max Neuhaus turned a triangle of pedestrian space between
45th and 46th Streets in Times Square into an island of harmonic
sound. The rich textures of that sound continue today, emanating
from beneath the sidewalk grating, to anonymously reach an
individual's ears as if one has stumbled upon a secret. Known as
Times Square, the celebrated installation was restored in 2002 with
support from Dia Art Foundation, which further commissioned a
site-specific piece, Time Piece Beacon, from Neuhaus in 2006 for
its museum in Beacon, New York. This stunning book-the only volume
in print dedicated solely to the work of Neuhaus-takes these two
projects as a point of departure from which to consider the
singular impact this artist has had in establishing sound as a
medium in contemporary art. An interview with Neuhaus is
complemented with essays by multidisciplinary scholars who
investigate and situate his work within a historical context.

This is the first major exploration of the works of American
abstract painter and watercolorist Suzan Frecon (b. 1941),
critically acclaimed for her sensitive arrangement of color, form,
and texture, and for the philosophical resonance of her art. By
restricting herself to nonrepresentational forms, earth-based
colors, and, in the case of her watercolors, "found" pieces of
paper, Frecon achieves an unequaled sense of balance and openness
in her work. The book features ten oil paintings and thirty
watercolors dating from the late 1990s to 2007. form, color,
illumination celebrates the uniqueness of Frecon's painting and
articulates how her work distinguishes itself within the history of
abstract painting. The authors describe in-depth how her artistic
process and materials are an integral part of her focus and
aesthetic. Included is an essay revealing the "ethics" of her
aesthetics--an argument for abstraction and an attention to truth
that is not divorced from social and environmental concerns.

Through a decade of friendship, sharing the same environs and being
active collectors, Sonja Graber and Christian Graber are
inextricably connected to the photographer Annelies Strba, the
jewellery and object artist Bernhard Schobinger and the painter
Adrian Schiess. A far cry from thoughts of prestige and conjecture,
one of the most extensive collections from all genres of the three
Swiss artists has now emerged out of artistic and personal esteem.
In the collectors, the artists and the Kunsthaus Zug, like-minded
people have come together in the most indiscriminate appreciation
of fine and applied art. To mark the occasion of the donation of
the Graber collections to the museum, the three internationally
renowned artists along with hitherto largely unpublished works are
now united in one publication. Contents: Art is an Experiment for
Us by Matthias Haldemann; Supporting the Artists: Building the
Graber Collection by Marco Obrist; Things, Art ... Art Things by
Felix Philipp Ingold; Undine's Song by Ildegarda Scheidegger; The
Year's Production from 1981, the Start of Painting by Ulrich Loock;
The Graber Collection at Kunsthaus Zug; artists' biographies. Text
in English and German.
