Title: Ensemble Moderne: The Still Life in Modern Art
Description: Satzburg, Austria, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac. 1998, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9783901935039). Hardcover. Book, 1998,Folio in German & English. That the tradition of the still life never left art for good, only changed in dramatic and often unforeseen ways, is the contention and reason behind this succinct and stimulating volume. Assembled here are works by forty of the most important artists of the last Five plus decades, including Francis Bacon, George Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joseph Beuys, Donald Baechler, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Gilbert & George, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Claus Oldenburg, Henri Matisse, Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol. The definition of the still life as presented by these artists has expanded sometimes to the breaking point, but also represents one of the true unifying elements of modern and postmodern art. Slight damp staining along the top edge of the front board, and along tthe top edge of the dust jacket. Very Good/Very Good.
