ARCHER, MICHAEL & SIMON MORRISSEY & HARRY STOCKS & RICHARD WILSON

Richard Wilson

Merrell, 2001. Softcover. ISBN: 1858941555. Very good condition; Softcover with illustrations; 0.81 x 11.74 x 9.76 Inches; 224 pages; Richard Wilson is one of the foremost exponents of installation art working in the world today. His seminal work 20:50, a sea of reflective sump oil permanently installed in the Saatchi Collection, London, has been described as "one of the masterpieces of the twentieth century." More recent pieces that have generated universal critical acclaim include Slice of Reality, a 70-foot high vertical cross-section of a 600-ton dredger located in the Thames next to the Millennium Dome in London, and Set North for Japan, a full-scale steel framework replica of the artist's own house, displaced and inverted in the Japanese countryside. This, the first monograph on the artist, examines the full spectrum of his work, moving from models, drawings, and his many gallery-based projects to collaborations with architects and engineers to realize such major architectural interventions as Over Easy, a 25-foot, imperceptibly rotating, disc-shaped section of a building's façade that challenges our collective expectation and experience of how space and materials should behave. Richard Wilson includes more than fifty pieces made over the past twenty years, as well as a comprehensive checklist that also includes earlier projects from the 1970s, offering a long overdue survey of the work of one of the most important artists of modern times.. Very Good with no dust jacket .

Designed by Stephan Berg. "In his photographs of reconstructed rooms and places Thomas Demand explores a notion of reality that guides our perception of a media and technology-dominated world. For this purpose he produces life-size reconstructions then are perfectly lit and photographed with a large-size camera. What, at first sight, seems to be a hyperrealistic reproduction of reality proves, at a closer look, to be a model". This charming catalogue that combines Demand's images interspersed with numerous texts about, and interviews with the artist was published in conjunction with a major 1998 exhibition held at Marienbad's Kunstverein Freiburg. A most handsome copy.. Near Fine/No Jacket - As Issued.

Heart of the Volcano

Addenda 2000 Paperback, 92pp. "`The moon was swallowed up in a faceless rush of cloud, the cold increasing. If he did not reach the top he had failed, he did not love her. The top of the mountain was to be his turning point. When he reached that he would turn back for home and for Helen. But would he reach the top?' Grant, an expat New Zealander, is wandering through Guatemala when he meets Suloski, a Jewish-American painter. Across Lake Atitlan, where he has watched a young German woman swim naked, lies a conical mountain. He agrees to climb it with Suloski, together with Birgot, who regards Grant as an intruder, and Juan, a quasi-mystical Spaniard who has written a book on UFOs. Will Birgot's attitude change? Juan offers peyote as their food and water run out. Grant thinks of Helen, his partner back in Auckland. Is their love intact? A jaguar is after his heart and the guerrillas are after his boots. Can he survive the volcano? `Vintage Morrissey ; muscular, tense, sexy, scary. The dialogue is - as ever - brilliant. It's a very good story, well told. The ending is terrific.' - Bernard Brown ", (ISBN: 0473068443). Mint.
