Armando. Between Knowing and Understanding. [ English edition ]

Rotterdam : NAI010 Publishers, 2015.. 272 p., richly illustrated in color and b/w, 22 x 30 cm. HARDCOVER: (Orig. large hardcover. UNREAD NEW)
¶ This monumental monograph is devoted to one of the most important post war European artists. Armando (born in 1929) has worked for decades on an oeuvre exploring such themes as melancholy, power, powerlessness and the uneasy fusion of beauty and evil. Since the late 1950s, with an intensely personal visual and literary agenda, he has been one of a vanguard of artistic innovators as an artist, poet and writer, and more recently as a maker of television and theatre. With a selection of more than 250 works and four lavishly illustrated essays, this book presents a broad overview of Armando’s oeuvre. For the first time, the full breadth of a unique, eclectic artistic career spanning six decades is revealed

Azimut/H: Continuity and Newness

Venice, Marsilio, 2014. Hardcover. A large blue and orange casebound book. The spine is blue with white lettering. 648 pp. Profusely illustrated with a majority color images. "The story of a seminal experience on the international art scene in the 1960s. In the postwar period characterized by wide-ranging experimentation involving major artists and international exchanges, Azimut/h played a key cultural and expressive role. Founded in 1959 with slightly different names by Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani, the gallery (Azimut) and the magazine (Azimuth) forged a new concept of aesthetics. In doing so, they were inspired by intense relationships developed with some of the leading figures exploring the language and theory of Italian and international art at the time. This book focuses on the Italian artists of that generation and the European and American reach of their work. VG+ .

Henk Peeters / Tijs Visser / Antoon Melissen

From nul to zero Henk Peeters.

Paper Kunsthalle, 2017 Paperback, 230x230mm, 220p, English edition Illustrated. ISBN 9789492321589.
¶ Henk Peeters (°1925, The Hague) was considered one of the most active members of the Dutch NUL movement. Together with other Dutch artists such as Jan Schoonhoven, Armando and Jan Hendrikse, he formed NUL in the 1960?s, which later joined the international movement ZERO. As a result of growing international contacts, Peeters initiated ?Zero on Sea?, an art manifestation in the summer of 1965 on a pier in Scheveningen, including about 50 likeminded artists from over ten countries. Peeters? work is closely inspired by daily life and natural phenomena. By using mass-produced clinical materials such as nylon and plastic and assimilating them through processes like fire, ice, snow and mist, he aims to reinitiate the viewer's consciousness towards his environment. The artistic practice of Henk Peeters was known for its diversity in material and technique, going from burned canvasses to readymades bought in chainstores. Often these objects show a strong duality between being both tactile and untouchable. As the artist once said: ?with my work, I have always wanted it to look just as fresh as if it was in the HEMA (the Dutch chain store). It must not be artified.. I had no need for artistic cotton wool.?.

MANZONI - Huizing, Colin & Antoon Melissen & Julia Mullie:

Manzoni in Holland.

02-2019, (14,5 x 21 cm, 160 pp. Dutch text, 100 ills. (colour & b/w.), softcover. Als een van de grootste wegbereiders van de internationale conceptuele kunst onderhield de Italiaanse kunstenaar Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) een bijzondere band met Nederland. Nu zijn intensieve correspondentie met de Rotterdamse galeriehouder Hans Sonnenberg voor het eerst toegankelijk is gemaakt, wordt de omvang van Manzoni's invloed op de naoorlogse avant-garde in Nederland zichtbaar. Gedurende zijn korte kunstenaarscarrière vervaardigde Piero Manzoni meer dan duizend doeken, sculpturen en andere objecten. De conventionele kaders van het kunstwerk werden door hem op radicale wijze doorbroken, waarbij zelfs het lichaam van de kunstenaar onderdeel werd van het werk. Daartegenover staan zijn Achromes, letterlijk: 'zonder kleur'. Het oppervlak van het schilderij werd bij Manzoni een ruimte voor onbegrensde mogelijkheden. Het bood niet langer plaats aan de illusie van de geschilderde voorstelling of het persoonlijke expressieve gebaar van de kunstenaar, maar werd een op zichzelf staande entiteit. Het werk van Manzoni was van grote invloed op de Nederlandse nul- en internationale ZERO-kunstenaars.

MANZONI - Huizing, Colin & Antoon Melissen & Julia Mullie:

Manzoni in Holland. (English edition).

02-2019, (14,5 x 21 cm, 160 pp. English text, 100 ills. (colour & b/w.), softcover. As one of the greatest pioneers of international conceptual art, Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) maintained strong ties with the Netherlands. The unlocking of his intensive correspondence with Rotterdam gallery owner Hans Sonnenberg has revealed the extent of Manzoni's influence on the post-war avant-garde in the Netherlands. During his short artistic career Piero Manzoni produced more than a thousand canvases, sculptures and other objects. He radically rejected the conventional context of the work of art, even integrating the body of the artist in the work. He also created so-called Achromes, literally: 'without colour.' Manzoni considered the surface of the canvas to be a space of unlimited possibilities. It no longer accommodated the illusion of the painted representation, or the artist's personal expressive gesture, but it became an autonomous entity instead. Manzoni's work was of great influence on artists associated with the Dutch nul-groep and the international ZERO movement. Manzoni in Holland is the untold story of the special relationship that one of the most prominent avant-garde artists of the twentieth century had with the Netherlands.

Jaap van den Ende. Tegenstelling en samenhang | contradiction and coherence.

10 2024, (24 x 28 cm), 256 Nederlands ?ENglish, numerous ills., hardcover. Deze monumentale monografie is gewijd aan de Nederlandse schilder Jaap van den Ende (Delft, 1944). In rijk geïllustreerde hoofstukken belichten vier auteurs de ontwikkeling van een veelvormig oeuvre dat bijna zes decennia beslaat._Begonnen in de jaren zestig als zuiver abstract, 'systematisch' schilder, doet midden jaren tachtig schoorvoetend de figuratie haar intrede. Voor Van den Ende sluiten deze, zo op het eerste oog sterk verschillende benaderingen van schilderkunst elkaar echter niet uit. Sinds het eind van de jaren negentig bestaan abstractie én figuratie naast elkaar, binnen een en hetzelfde schilderij. 'Ik ben steeds meer gaan voelen, steeds meer gaan streven naar het volledig aanwezig willen zijn', aldus Van den Ende. 'Ik ben niet iemand die uitsluitend abstract denkt. Ik wil alles aanraken.'
