	ALPHEN, ERNST VAN Caught by History: Holocaust Effects in Contemporary Art, Literature, and Theory Stanford, CA, Stanford University Press. 1997. (ISBN: 0804729166) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii, 233 pp. illus. biblio.; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. "In the face of strong moral and aesthetic pressure to deal with the Holocaust in strictly historical and documentary modes, this book discusses why and how re-enactment of the Holocaust in art and imaginative literature can be successful in simultaneously presenting, analyzing, and working through this apocalyptic moment in human history. In pursuing his argument, the author explores such diverse materials and themes as: the testimonies of Holocaust survivors; the works of such artists and writers as Charlotte Salomon, Christian Boltanski, and Armando; and the question of what it means to live in a house built by a Jew who was later transported to the death camps. He shows that re-enactment, as an artistic project, also functions as a critical strategy, one that, unlike historical methods requiring a mediator, speaks directly to us and lures us into the Holocaust. We are then placed in the position of experiencing and being the subjects of that history." - Publisher. Fine.

	AULICH, JAMES, AND LYNCH, JOHN (JOINT EDITORS) Critical Kitaj: Essays on the Work of R. B. Kitaj New Brunswick, NJ, Rutgers University Press. 2000. (ISBN: 081352900X) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. x, 249 pp. [6] pp. of plates, illus. (some col.), bib. notes, index; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Cocked spine/lean, front cover slightly bent. An interesting anthology. Recommended by Sander L. Gilman as "the very best book-length study of Kitaj that is available." "Critical Kitaj surveys virtually all the important aspects of Kitaj's art: its reception, its diasporic claims, its monumentalism, and its literary and cultural references. I find this collection actually the very best book-length study of Kitaj that is available."--Sander L. Gilman, Henry R. Luce Distinguished Service Professor of the Liberal Arts in Human Biology, The University of Chicago. "The 1994 Kitaj retrospective at the Tate Gallery generated a great deal of furor and discussion, only confirming this artist's stature as a major figure in the postwar international arts scene. In over thirty years as a successful and respected artist, Kitaj has explored the relationship between the visual and the poetic, taking references from high literature and popular culture to develop an iconography of post-Holocaust Jewish identity in his work. In his search for personal and artistic identity the subjects of his work and life have taken him on a literal and figurative journey via Vienna, New York, Paris, London, Frankfurt, and Los Angeles from youthful bohemianism and studied anarchism to the discovery of his Jewishness. His subject matter has not been easy, drawing inspiration and alluding to such diverse sources as Walter Benjamin, R. P. Blackmur, Ezra Pound, and John Ford. This richly illustrated collection of essays brings together for the first time a range of critical approaches to Kitaj's vast body of work, including his painting, printmaking, and filmmaking. Contributors include Terry Atkinson, James Aulich, David Peters Corbett, Martin Deppner, Simon Faulkner, Pat Gilmour, John Lynch, Giles Peaker, David Peters, Alan Woods, and Janet Woolf. / James Aulich is a Lecturer in the department of history of art and design at Manchester Metropolitan University. John Lynch is a lecturer in the School of Cultural Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University." - Publisher. Very Good.

	BAIGELL, RENEE, AND BAIGELL, MATTHEW Peeling Potatoes, Painting Pictures: Women Artists in Post-Soviet Russia, Estonia, and Latvia: The First Decade New Brunswick, NJ, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum and Rutgers University Press. 2001. (ISBN: 0813529468) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii, 170 pp. illus. bib. notes, index; 25 cm. AS NEW. "How do women artists in Russia, Estonia, and Latvia view themselves in the post-Soviet era? What is their relationship to feminism and how has that relationship changed following the fall of the Soviet regime? Having conducted over sixty interviews between 1995 and 1998, Renee Baigell and Matthew Baigell explore in this volume these women's difficulties of pursuing an art career in a male-dominated society, and the attitudes of their male counterparts toward feminist concerns. The artists interviewed -- some born as early as the 1920s, others as recently as the 1970s -- discuss their private lives and situations, as well as specific works of art. They reveal a wide range of attitudes and a complex relationship with a feminist movement often regarded as an alien import from the West. Gender issues in art school, parental attitudes toward the prospect of their daughters becoming artists, the demands and strains of career and family life, and questions regarding a female approach to imagery are among the topics raised, as are these artists' hopes and dreams for the future. This book also includes a brief chronology of pertinent art exhibitions during the 1990s. Readers will both gain a new perspective on universal issues facing women artists worldwide, as well as comprehend, with fresh appreciation, the relative freedom enjoyed by female artists in the West." - Publisher.

	BAKER, GEORGE (EDITED BY) James Coleman Cambridge, MA, MIT Press; October Files 5. 2003. (ISBN: 0262523418) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. vi, 213 pp. illus. bib. notes, index; 23 cm. BRAND NEW. Remainder mark/tail edge. "James Coleman has emerged in recent years as one of the most important artists of visual postmodernism. His work has transformed critical debates about the status of the image in contemporary culture and influenced an entire generation of younger artists in ways that have not yet been fully acknowledged. Until recently, Coleman has enjoyed relatively little critical attention -- in part because of his refusal to comment on his projects or to allow his work to be reconstructed outside of the context of its exhibition. The illustrated essays in this book span the entirety of Coleman's career to date, from his early postminimal and conceptual experiments with memory and perception, through his work in film, video, and narrative in the 1980s, to his current ongoing series of slide projections with voice-over that he calls simply 'projected images.' Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the debates induced by Coleman's work, the essays discuss issues of subjectivity and identity, nationalism, postcolonialism, memory, spectacle culture, digitalization, and new media. The contributors are Raymond Bellour, Benjamin Buchloh, Lynne Cooke, Jean Fisher, Luke Gibbons, Rosalind Krauss, Anne Rorimer, and Kaja Silverman. Written by curators, critics, and scholars and spanning the fields of art history, literary criticism, philosophy, and film theory, the essays attest to the interdisciplinary challenge of Coleman's work. George Baker is Assistant Professor of Art History at UCLA." - Publisher. NEW. USD 40.00 [Appr.: EURO 27 \| £UK 24 \| JP¥ 3557] Book number: 017678 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

	CHERNOW, BURT; VOLZ, WOLFGANG (EPILOGUE BY) Christo and Jeanne-Claude: An Authorized Biography New York, St. Martin's Griffin. 2005, First paperback edition. (ISBN: 031234094X) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 390 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 24 cm. BRAND NEW. Stated "First St. Martin's Griffin Edition: January 2005." Remainder mark/tail edge. "For their sheer scale and breathtaking audacity, their works have made them among the most celebrated and controversial artists in the world. Valley Curtain stretched 1,250 feet across a valley in Rifle, Colorado. Wrapped Coast covered a mile and a half of Australian coastline with a million square feet of fabric. The Umbrellas deployed 3,100 umbrellas set in Japan and California, each nearly twenty feet tall. Surrounded Islands encircled eleven islands in Biscayne Bay, Florida with six and a half million square feet of bright pink fabric and Wrapped Reichstag enveloped the entire German parliament in shimmering silver fabric. For more than forty years, these and many other works by Christo and Jeanne-Claude have reconceived the art of the possible, turned natural and human monuments-streets, bridges, hills, trees, buildings, parks, and islands--into sculptures and paintings, and created dazzling new landscapes and startling new vistas. Often requiring years, even decades, of preparation and planning, these works-not merely feats of aesthetic daring but engineering and organizational marvels--exist for only a few weeks or less. Yet what makes these transient creations linger forever in the mind is their overwhelming and magisterial beauty. They are, in every sense, transformative, and, for the millions who have experienced them in person, unforgettable. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have been the frequent subjects of films, videos, catalogues, cartoons, monographs, exhibitions, and editorials. Until this biography by Burt Chernow, however, written with the full cooperation of the artists, nothing has connected the intimate details of their lives and the spectacular dimensions of their projects. Christo, the penniless Bulgarian refugee who made his way to Paris during the 1950s, and Jeanne-Claude, the socialite daughter of a prominent French general, seemed an unlikely couple, yet together they forged one of the most enduring partnerships in contemporary art. When they arrived in New York in 1964, Christo was already becoming well known in avant-garde circles for his wrappings of everyday objects Jeanne-Claude acted as manager, dealer, and accountant. Over time, as Chernow reveals, the fusion of their prodigious gifts-his drawings and her ability to draw things together-produced the works for which today they are known the world over. Chernow recounts their rise from relative obscurity to international renown, revealing both the sources of their art and the heights to which it has quite literally aspired. An epilogue by Wolfgang Volz, a longtime and close collaborator of the artists, as well as their exclusive photographer, provides a fascinating insider's view of what it is like to work, and dream, with them. Christo and Jeanne-Claude is an indelible portrait of the artists and their work, and a moving account of an extraordinary couple. / Burt Chernow lectured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and was a professor of art history at Housatonic College in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was also the founder and Director Emeritus of the Housatonic Museum of Art. The author of many books and essays, he died in 1997. Wolfgang Volz's photographs have appeared in Art, GEO, Paris Match, Der Spiegel, Life, and Time magazines. He has worked with Christo and Jeanne-Claude since 1972 and is the exclusive photographer of their work. He was also technical director of the project to wrap the Reichstag. He lives with his wife, Sylvie, in Dusseldorf, Germany." - Publisher. NEW. USD 15.00 [Appr.: EURO 10.25 \| £UK 9 \| JP¥ 1334] Book number: 036280 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

	CLOTHIER, PETER David Hockney New York, Abbeville Press; Modern Masters Ser. vol. 17. 1995. (ISBN: 0789200368) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 127 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 28 cm. AS NEW. Well illustrated survey of the British Pop artist, an expatriate living in L.A. Hockney is famous for his paintings of swimming pools, portraits of artworld personalities, and homoerotic works. "Hockney's engaging personality, his quirky but always enlightening ideas about art, and his inexhaustible inventiveness are captured with clear-eyed intelligence and grace in this volume from Abbeville's renowned Modern Masters series. For a contemporary artist of serious aesthetic purpose, David Hockney enjoys immense, perhaps unequaled public visibility: the shock of dyed blond hair, the owlish glasses, and the shy, schoolboy grin are known as much through the popular press as through the journals of the art world. His engaging personality, his quirky but always enlightening ideas about art, and his inexhaustible inventiveness both of imagery and of techniques ranging from oil painting to photography to faxes are captured by Peter Clothier with clear-eyed intelligence and grace in this concise but comprehensive overview. From his theatrical early canvases to his more recent photographic collages and operatic set designs, Hockney has tackled the challenge of space on a grand scale. At the same time, much of his work has been devoted to the things most dear to him-friends, family, home, and studio. An intellectual of wide-ranging erudition and a world traveler who makes his home in Hollywood, he still cherishes his roots in Bradford, the northern British town where he was born in 1937. Invention, the driving force behind Hockney's art, is in good part play: 'If art isn't playful,' he once commented, 'it's nothing.' This illuminating, color-rich volume conveys with vivid clarity Hockney's serious delight in making art that gives pleasure to both its creator and its audience. / Peter Clothier--like Hockney a British expatriate living in Southern California--is a novelist, art critic, and lecturer. His previous writings include two novels--Dirty-Down and Chiaroscuro--plus two books of poetry and numerous articles and art reviews." - Publisher. Fine.

	ALPHEN, ERNST VAN Caught by History: Holocaust Effects in Contemporary Art, Literature, and Theory Stanford, CA, Stanford University Press. 1997. (ISBN: 0804729166) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii, 233 pp. illus. biblio.; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. "In the face of strong moral and aesthetic pressure to deal with the Holocaust in strictly historical and documentary modes, this book discusses why and how re-enactment of the Holocaust in art and imaginative literature can be successful in simultaneously presenting, analyzing, and working through this apocalyptic moment in human history. In pursuing his argument, the author explores such diverse materials and themes as: the testimonies of Holocaust survivors; the works of such artists and writers as Charlotte Salomon, Christian Boltanski, and Armando; and the question of what it means to live in a house built by a Jew who was later transported to the death camps. He shows that re-enactment, as an artistic project, also functions as a critical strategy, one that, unlike historical methods requiring a mediator, speaks directly to us and lures us into the Holocaust. We are then placed in the position of experiencing and being the subjects of that history." - Publisher. Fine.

	AULICH, JAMES, AND LYNCH, JOHN (JOINT EDITORS) Critical Kitaj: Essays on the Work of R. B. Kitaj New Brunswick, NJ, Rutgers University Press. 2000. (ISBN: 081352900X) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. x, 249 pp. [6] pp. of plates, illus. (some col.), bib. notes, index; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Cocked spine/lean, front cover slightly bent. An interesting anthology. Recommended by Sander L. Gilman as "the very best book-length study of Kitaj that is available." "Critical Kitaj surveys virtually all the important aspects of Kitaj's art: its reception, its diasporic claims, its monumentalism, and its literary and cultural references. I find this collection actually the very best book-length study of Kitaj that is available."--Sander L. Gilman, Henry R. Luce Distinguished Service Professor of the Liberal Arts in Human Biology, The University of Chicago. "The 1994 Kitaj retrospective at the Tate Gallery generated a great deal of furor and discussion, only confirming this artist's stature as a major figure in the postwar international arts scene. In over thirty years as a successful and respected artist, Kitaj has explored the relationship between the visual and the poetic, taking references from high literature and popular culture to develop an iconography of post-Holocaust Jewish identity in his work. In his search for personal and artistic identity the subjects of his work and life have taken him on a literal and figurative journey via Vienna, New York, Paris, London, Frankfurt, and Los Angeles from youthful bohemianism and studied anarchism to the discovery of his Jewishness. His subject matter has not been easy, drawing inspiration and alluding to such diverse sources as Walter Benjamin, R. P. Blackmur, Ezra Pound, and John Ford. This richly illustrated collection of essays brings together for the first time a range of critical approaches to Kitaj's vast body of work, including his painting, printmaking, and filmmaking. Contributors include Terry Atkinson, James Aulich, David Peters Corbett, Martin Deppner, Simon Faulkner, Pat Gilmour, John Lynch, Giles Peaker, David Peters, Alan Woods, and Janet Woolf. / James Aulich is a Lecturer in the department of history of art and design at Manchester Metropolitan University. John Lynch is a lecturer in the School of Cultural Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University." - Publisher. Very Good.

	BAIGELL, RENEE, AND BAIGELL, MATTHEW Peeling Potatoes, Painting Pictures: Women Artists in Post-Soviet Russia, Estonia, and Latvia: The First Decade New Brunswick, NJ, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum and Rutgers University Press. 2001. (ISBN: 0813529468) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xii, 170 pp. illus. bib. notes, index; 25 cm. AS NEW. "How do women artists in Russia, Estonia, and Latvia view themselves in the post-Soviet era? What is their relationship to feminism and how has that relationship changed following the fall of the Soviet regime? Having conducted over sixty interviews between 1995 and 1998, Renee Baigell and Matthew Baigell explore in this volume these women's difficulties of pursuing an art career in a male-dominated society, and the attitudes of their male counterparts toward feminist concerns. The artists interviewed -- some born as early as the 1920s, others as recently as the 1970s -- discuss their private lives and situations, as well as specific works of art. They reveal a wide range of attitudes and a complex relationship with a feminist movement often regarded as an alien import from the West. Gender issues in art school, parental attitudes toward the prospect of their daughters becoming artists, the demands and strains of career and family life, and questions regarding a female approach to imagery are among the topics raised, as are these artists' hopes and dreams for the future. This book also includes a brief chronology of pertinent art exhibitions during the 1990s. Readers will both gain a new perspective on universal issues facing women artists worldwide, as well as comprehend, with fresh appreciation, the relative freedom enjoyed by female artists in the West." - Publisher.

	BAKER, GEORGE (EDITED BY) James Coleman Cambridge, MA, MIT Press; October Files 5. 2003. (ISBN: 0262523418) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. vi, 213 pp. illus. bib. notes, index; 23 cm. BRAND NEW. Remainder mark/tail edge. "James Coleman has emerged in recent years as one of the most important artists of visual postmodernism. His work has transformed critical debates about the status of the image in contemporary culture and influenced an entire generation of younger artists in ways that have not yet been fully acknowledged. Until recently, Coleman has enjoyed relatively little critical attention -- in part because of his refusal to comment on his projects or to allow his work to be reconstructed outside of the context of its exhibition. The illustrated essays in this book span the entirety of Coleman's career to date, from his early postminimal and conceptual experiments with memory and perception, through his work in film, video, and narrative in the 1980s, to his current ongoing series of slide projections with voice-over that he calls simply 'projected images.' Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the debates induced by Coleman's work, the essays discuss issues of subjectivity and identity, nationalism, postcolonialism, memory, spectacle culture, digitalization, and new media. The contributors are Raymond Bellour, Benjamin Buchloh, Lynne Cooke, Jean Fisher, Luke Gibbons, Rosalind Krauss, Anne Rorimer, and Kaja Silverman. Written by curators, critics, and scholars and spanning the fields of art history, literary criticism, philosophy, and film theory, the essays attest to the interdisciplinary challenge of Coleman's work. George Baker is Assistant Professor of Art History at UCLA." - Publisher. NEW. USD 40.00 [Appr.: EURO 27 \| £UK 24 \| JP¥ 3557] Book number: 017678 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

	CHERNOW, BURT; VOLZ, WOLFGANG (EPILOGUE BY) Christo and Jeanne-Claude: An Authorized Biography New York, St. Martin's Griffin. 2005, First paperback edition. (ISBN: 031234094X) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 390 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 24 cm. BRAND NEW. Stated "First St. Martin's Griffin Edition: January 2005." Remainder mark/tail edge. "For their sheer scale and breathtaking audacity, their works have made them among the most celebrated and controversial artists in the world. Valley Curtain stretched 1,250 feet across a valley in Rifle, Colorado. Wrapped Coast covered a mile and a half of Australian coastline with a million square feet of fabric. The Umbrellas deployed 3,100 umbrellas set in Japan and California, each nearly twenty feet tall. Surrounded Islands encircled eleven islands in Biscayne Bay, Florida with six and a half million square feet of bright pink fabric and Wrapped Reichstag enveloped the entire German parliament in shimmering silver fabric. For more than forty years, these and many other works by Christo and Jeanne-Claude have reconceived the art of the possible, turned natural and human monuments-streets, bridges, hills, trees, buildings, parks, and islands--into sculptures and paintings, and created dazzling new landscapes and startling new vistas. Often requiring years, even decades, of preparation and planning, these works-not merely feats of aesthetic daring but engineering and organizational marvels--exist for only a few weeks or less. Yet what makes these transient creations linger forever in the mind is their overwhelming and magisterial beauty. They are, in every sense, transformative, and, for the millions who have experienced them in person, unforgettable. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have been the frequent subjects of films, videos, catalogues, cartoons, monographs, exhibitions, and editorials. Until this biography by Burt Chernow, however, written with the full cooperation of the artists, nothing has connected the intimate details of their lives and the spectacular dimensions of their projects. Christo, the penniless Bulgarian refugee who made his way to Paris during the 1950s, and Jeanne-Claude, the socialite daughter of a prominent French general, seemed an unlikely couple, yet together they forged one of the most enduring partnerships in contemporary art. When they arrived in New York in 1964, Christo was already becoming well known in avant-garde circles for his wrappings of everyday objects Jeanne-Claude acted as manager, dealer, and accountant. Over time, as Chernow reveals, the fusion of their prodigious gifts-his drawings and her ability to draw things together-produced the works for which today they are known the world over. Chernow recounts their rise from relative obscurity to international renown, revealing both the sources of their art and the heights to which it has quite literally aspired. An epilogue by Wolfgang Volz, a longtime and close collaborator of the artists, as well as their exclusive photographer, provides a fascinating insider's view of what it is like to work, and dream, with them. Christo and Jeanne-Claude is an indelible portrait of the artists and their work, and a moving account of an extraordinary couple. / Burt Chernow lectured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and was a professor of art history at Housatonic College in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was also the founder and Director Emeritus of the Housatonic Museum of Art. The author of many books and essays, he died in 1997. Wolfgang Volz's photographs have appeared in Art, GEO, Paris Match, Der Spiegel, Life, and Time magazines. He has worked with Christo and Jeanne-Claude since 1972 and is the exclusive photographer of their work. He was also technical director of the project to wrap the Reichstag. He lives with his wife, Sylvie, in Dusseldorf, Germany." - Publisher. NEW. USD 15.00 [Appr.: EURO 10.25 \| £UK 9 \| JP¥ 1334] Book number: 036280 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

	CLOTHIER, PETER David Hockney New York, Abbeville Press; Modern Masters Ser. vol. 17. 1995. (ISBN: 0789200368) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 127 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio. index; 28 cm. AS NEW. Well illustrated survey of the British Pop artist, an expatriate living in L.A. Hockney is famous for his paintings of swimming pools, portraits of artworld personalities, and homoerotic works. "Hockney's engaging personality, his quirky but always enlightening ideas about art, and his inexhaustible inventiveness are captured with clear-eyed intelligence and grace in this volume from Abbeville's renowned Modern Masters series. For a contemporary artist of serious aesthetic purpose, David Hockney enjoys immense, perhaps unequaled public visibility: the shock of dyed blond hair, the owlish glasses, and the shy, schoolboy grin are known as much through the popular press as through the journals of the art world. His engaging personality, his quirky but always enlightening ideas about art, and his inexhaustible inventiveness both of imagery and of techniques ranging from oil painting to photography to faxes are captured by Peter Clothier with clear-eyed intelligence and grace in this concise but comprehensive overview. From his theatrical early canvases to his more recent photographic collages and operatic set designs, Hockney has tackled the challenge of space on a grand scale. At the same time, much of his work has been devoted to the things most dear to him-friends, family, home, and studio. An intellectual of wide-ranging erudition and a world traveler who makes his home in Hollywood, he still cherishes his roots in Bradford, the northern British town where he was born in 1937. Invention, the driving force behind Hockney's art, is in good part play: 'If art isn't playful,' he once commented, 'it's nothing.' This illuminating, color-rich volume conveys with vivid clarity Hockney's serious delight in making art that gives pleasure to both its creator and its audience. / Peter Clothier--like Hockney a British expatriate living in Southern California--is a novelist, art critic, and lecturer. His previous writings include two novels--Dirty-Down and Chiaroscuro--plus two books of poetry and numerous articles and art reviews." - Publisher. Fine.
