Georgia O'Keeffe - My New Yorks
A revelatory study of Georgia O’Keeffe’s New York paintings of the late 1920s and their deep significance within the artist’s development
In 1924 Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) first moved to the Shelton Hotel in New York with her husband, the photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. The Shelton was Manhattan’s earliest residential skyscraper, and its dizzying heights inspired O’Keeffe to create a powerful series of approximately twenty-five paintings and numerous drawings over a span of about five years. She called these “my New Yorks,” and they overwhelmingly consist of two types of compositions: sprawling observations looking down onto the city and humbling views directed up at the newly built urban monoliths. Exploring the New York skyline, O’Keeffe resisted the approach of contemporaries such as Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand—who celebrated New York as a streamlined, impersonal series of geometric canyons—and instead portrayed it as an amalgamation of the organic and the inorganic, the natural and the constructed. Only in this way could she express New York (in her words) “as it is felt.”
Reshaping our understanding of this pivotal yet underappreciated period in O’Keeffe’s storied career, this publication situates the New York paintings within the artist’s larger oeuvre and examines how these works reflect narratives of built environments, racialized space, and the politics of place.
Čínska krajinomalba
Pocit života v nerušeném proudu dění, toť obsah a záměr každé čínské krajiny- tento známý postulát Emila Filly měl na vědomí i autor této knihy a toto pojetí prostupuje jako červená niť výkladem více než půldruhého tisíciletí nepřetržitého vývoje čínské krajinomalby. Původním posláním krajinomalby bylo, aby se obraz stal dveřmi do krajiny - aby se čtenář či divák nechal vést umělcem a vstupoval jeho prostřednictvím přímo do živoucího krajinného proudu. Rovněž autor vstupoval do dějů nesčetných svitků a obrazů v čínských, evropských i amerických sbírkách a poučení hledal i přímo v čínské krajině a u svých čínských přátel, jako byli malíři Li Kche-žan, Fu Pao-š´ nebo Chuang Jung-jü.

Erik Šille
Nová kniha kresieb Erika Šilleho „Vôbec nič vážne“ predstavuje Šilleho v polohe, v ktorej ho mnohí doteraz nepoznali. Jeho notoricky známy štýl je založený na čistých plochách, „plastovom“, „nerukopisnom“ akrylovom povrchu a jasne ohraničených tvaroch. Aktuálna kresbová tvorba je oproti tomu intuitívna, expresívna. Farby (resp. tuš) sa rozpíjajú a miešajú, linka je dynamická a neučesaná. To, čo zostáva, je autorov typický pohľad na svet. Výber teoretičky umenia Alexandry Tamásovej je zostavený najmä z jeho novšej tvorby z obdobia cca od začiatku covidovej pandémie po súčasnosť. Zrazu spoznávame autora, ktorý je o čosi jemnejší, zraniteľnejší, ktorý sa metaforicky „pootvoril“. Napriek prevládajúcej ružovej farebnosti ide často o dosť temné až existenciálne reflexie spoločnosti, uvažovanie o zmysle života a hľadaní svojho miesta vo svete. Erik nám tieto úvahy, ktoré sa často prikláňajú k pocitu absurdity, resp. neriešiteľnosti základnej nezmyselnosti ľudského údelu, servíruje v stráviteľnej podobe.
Kniha kresieb Erika Šilleho je pokračovaním novovzniknutej edície White & Weiss Gallery, ktorej ambíciou je mapovať médium kresby významných slovenských autorov a autoriek. Minulý rok vydala galéria White & Weiss, ako prvú, knihu kresieb Erika Bindera Nekonečný príbeh. Kniha vychádza v obmedzenom náklade.

Caspar David Friedrich: Infinite Landscapes
250 years after the painter’s birth, this luxurious exhibition catalog offers glimpses into the mystery of Friedrich’s largely posthumous popularity as well as the latest research into his training and techniques.
Largely ignored during his lifetime, Caspar David Friedrich was a meticulous painter of emotionally evocative landscapes, often featuring solitary figures or groups of people against dramatic scenery. His work inspired many artists until today. This volume explores the role that Berlin’s Nationalgalerie played in bringing Friedrich into the forefront of modern art history. It also shines light into Friedrich’s remarkable use of pairs in paintings—including his most famous pairing, Monk by the Sea and Abbey in the Oakwood— which he employed to express a range of different perspectives and the concept of change. Finally it examines the latest research into Friedrich’s technique: his early training in Copenhagen; his sketches, preparatory drawings and underdrawings; and his unconventional selection and use of pigments.
Throughout this monograph readers will find stunning reproductions of sixty paintings, including several iconic works, and fifty drawings—representing collections from around the world. Coupled with the latest research, they combine to offer a completely up-to-date appreciation of Friedrich’s extraordinary talent and his unquestionable status as a pioneer of modern art.

Munch and Kirchner
A revealing examination of how mental illness informs and connects the highly charged work of Edvard Munch and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863–1944) and the German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) are considered modernist visionaries. They were also pioneering printmakers, eschewing the mastery of one technique for experimentation across many. Born a generation apart, they worked in an expressionist mode, in which they did not simply replicate what they saw but rather filtered everything through their own imagination and memories.
Exploiting the perceptual and emotional power of color and abstraction for creative expression, they portrayed what they perceived to be a fragmented, harrowing reality; both artists endured bouts of anxiety and depression, battled substance abuse, and received psychiatric care. Featuring never-before-published prints from the collection of Nelson Blitz Jr. and Catherine Woodard, as well as etchings, lithographs, and hand-colored woodcuts from select public and private collections across the United States, this volume puts these two giants of Expressionism in a dialogue that foregrounds issues of mental health and offers a fresh approach that blends art history and the history of medical treatment.
The included essays examine the artistic affinities and divergences in their printmaking and the ways in which they used shadows to imagine pathologized psychological and psychiatric experiences in their art.

Stanislav Podhrázský a přátelé /and Friends
Publikace Stanislav Podhrázský a přátelé je spojena se stejnojmennou výstavou, kterou připravil GASK k uplynulému stoletému výročí narození Stanislava Podhrázského (1920- 1999). Představuje průřez autorovým dílem v souvislostech uměleckého prostředí a osobních vazeb, v němž dílo vznikalo, klade důraz na období tvůrčího hledání, které bylo spojené se skupinou nejbližších přátel, kterými byli Miloslav Chlupáč, Zdeněk Palcr, Zbyněk Sekal a Mikuláš Medek. Text kurátorky výstavy Adriany Primusové zasazuje uměleckou tvorbu Podhrázského do souvislostí osobních vazeb a prostředí, v němž dílo vznikalo a hrálo ve složité historické době zásadní význam. Důraz je kladen na období tvůrčího hledání tohoto společenství, v němž se osobní vazby protínaly s intelektuálními zájmy a které vytvářelo paralelní myšlenkově svobodný prostor v nesvobodné době. Tyto umělce, kteří se stali určujícími osobnostmi českého poválečného umění, spojovala tvůrčí cesta, na níž v určité době sdíleli společný obraz světa. Text Daniela Vojtěcha Krajina mysli pak tento obraz světa přibližuje, když tvorbu Podhrázského uvádí do hlubších myšlenkových souvislostí. Dobový kontext doplňuje dosud nepublikovaný původní text Miloslava Chlupáče. Publikace předkládá velké množství reprodukcí vystavených děl a řadu dokumentačních dobových fotografií, z nichž je část reprodukována poprvé. Vedle toho fotografie výstavní expozice, kterou architektonicky a výtvarně pojednal Lukáš Machalický, a samotná grafika knihy zpracovaná Pavlem Tichoněm, představují prezentaci významné části historie umění očima současné umělecké generace.

Caspar David Friedrich: Art for a New Age
Published to mark the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich's birth, the most thorough Friedrich retrospective in many years.
Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) is renowned as the Romantic painter par excellence, his works icons of an age of major social upheaval. His landscape paintings and drawings broke with traditional patterns of representation, and paved new ways of both experiencing and reflecting on the ambivalent relationship between humankind and nature.
Accompanying the most comprehensive Friedrich retrospective in many years, this catalogue re-examines the artist's groundbreaking work in light of the urgent challenges in a time of climate crisis. It centres on more than sixty paintings, among them many major iconic works, and about 100 drawings. Selected works by Friedrich's colleagues, notably Carl Blechen, Carl Gustav Carus, Johan Christian Dahl, August Heinrich and Georg Friedrich Kersting, are also featured. The second part of the book focuses on the contemporary reception of his work. In contributions ranging from video and photography to installations, some twenty artists working across a variety of genres and media explore the Romantic era, its attitude to nature and the art of Caspar David Friedrich. The participants include Elina Brotherus, Julian Charriere, David Claerbout, Olafur Eliasson, Alex Grein, Hiroyuki Masuyama, Mariele Neudecker, Ulrike Rosenbach, Susan Schuppli, Santeri Tuori and Kehinde Wiley. These reinterpretations and appropriations of Friedrich's images and themes allow the Romantic view of nature to enter into a fascinating dialogue with contemporary perspectives on nature and the discourse on ecological issues.
Rembrandt - The Complete Self-Portraits
Few devotees of the form can approach Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn's radical contributions to self-portraiture. Challenging the conventions enshrined by his predecessors, Rembrandt transformed the art into a fully realized medium capable of communicating emotional depth rather than favorably immortalizing one's likeness in the finest trappings of luxury. With more than 80 works spanning paintings, etchings, and drawings, the Dutchman's lifelong practice of self-portraiture functions as a means of concretizing that which is fleeting. Across four decades, one constant is particularly striking across media and styles-Rembrandt's dedication to presenting himself from multiple perspectives, celebrating the multiplicity of the individual and championing the unfiltered portrayal of emotional expression.
Apart from the thematic concerns present within Rembrandt's suite of self-portraits, the works themselves are rich with technical innovation and experimentation. There is an unmistakable humanity present across the entirety of this oeuvre, each expressive brushstroke and obfuscated feature amounting to an unflinchingly honest characterization of himself, in all his foibles, contrasting states of feeling, and stages of life.
This monograph renders all of Rembrandt's self-portraits - from his first experimentations at age twenty-two to his final self-portrait painted a year before his death - and stands testament to a life committed to revolutionizing painterly practice both in content and form.

Lee Quinones: Fifty Years of New York Graffiti Art and Beyond
A comprehensive monograph on the work of a pioneering New York subway artist
This volume presents a sweeping overview of the monumental work of Puerto Rican–born artist Lee Quinones over the past five decades. When Quinones made his first spray paint mural in the New York City subway system, he was just 14 years old. He eventually spray-painted murals on over 120 subway cars, infusing kinetic elements of Futurism into his illustrations. These highly visible graffiti works served as a catalyst for what is now acknowledged as the Street Art movement. Indeed, the artist introduced spray-paint-based work to international audiences upon his first formal exhibition, and he also invented the concept of the freestanding urban mural through his handball court piece, Howard the Duck (1978).
This book is chock-full of Quinones’ street art works, paintings and drawings, underscoring the poetic social commentary the artist has incorporated throughout his formal evolutions. Pairing high-resolution images of his works with thoughtful scholarship, the monograph traces his influence on peers such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and David Wojnarowicz. An abundance of archival photographs capture the gritty, vibrant New York City of Quinones’ early career.
Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico in 1960, and raised in the Lower East Side, Lee Quinones is considered the single most influential artist to emerge from the New York subway art movement. In 1980, Quinones had his first New York show at White Columns, ushering in an important era as the medium of spray paint expanded from public spaces to stationary canvas works.

Michelangelo: the last decades
Tracing the final 30 years of Michelangelo’s career, this book examines how the great master used art and faith to explore the common human experience of ageing in a rapidly changing world.
Michelangelo was not the isolated, tortured genius of artistic legend but a man who maintained a close circle of friends and associates into old age. His late drawings, letters and poetry offer powerful insights into his psychology, reflecting his Catholic faith, his commanding intellectual engagement, and his hope for eternal life. Built on the British Museum’s extraordinary collection of drawings, this book explores Michelangelo’s relationships and late creativity to go beyond the towering Renaissance master known today.

Expressionists: Kandinsky, Munter and The Blue Rider
The story of the friendships that made modern art. Brought together in the UK for the first time in 80 years, this exhibition book offers unprecedented access to the landmark exhibition's collection of masterpieces.
Expressionists is a story of friendships told through art – the groundbreaking work of a circle of friends and close collaborators known as The Blue Rider. In the early twentieth century they came together to form, in their own words, ‘a union of various countries to serve one purpose’ – to transform modern art.
Rallying around Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter these highly individual artists experimented with colour, sound and light, creating astonishingly bold and vibrant art – from Alexander Sacharoff’s freestyle performance to Gabriele Münter’s experimental photography, from Franz Marc’s innovative use of colour to the dramatic paintings of Marianne Werefkin.
In-depth investigations of major themes and a wide variety of spotlight essays provide an intimate and illuminating window into a remarkable artistic group: their travels and techniques, their interests and sources of inspiration, and the relationships that bound them together.
Magali Reus: Dearest
Sculptural and photographic transformations of the domestic, the industrial, the functional and the decorative
Renowned for her particular take on what contemporary sculpture can be and express, Magali Reus (born 1981) draws on a vast range of formal influences and references, from the domestic to the industrial, the functional to the decorative, creating works that evolve as a fascinating accumulation and layering of visual details. Designed by Irma Boom, this artist’s book offers a unique approach to art making through the unveiling of the sources, visual imagery and connections that gave birth to the realization of three emblematic series by Magali Reus: Dearest (2018); Empty Every Night (2019); and Settings (2019–21). Conceived as a space where the viewer can take their time to get a closer, more intimate connection to her work, the publication alternates views of the works, close-up details and various materials—from a 3D technical rendering and production calculations to mock ups, samples and research photography. Sharing her production, process and research archive, Reus allows the reader to decipher the circulation of motifs from one medium to another, her specific take on the ideas of hierarchy, representation and systems of production, and how she explores the tensions between nature, technology and the impact of postindustrial human activity. The book gives full credit to her ongoing thinking on objecthood and how the objects and forms she creates take on a strange, disobedient agency. Made of three separate volumes. featuring different paper and taped together, this collectible publication is itself a powerful object.
