Discover Joan Mitchell''s powerful and dynamic work--spotlighted in this book as never before
''An entry for one of the best shows of 2022. . . . Mitchell, then in her 50s, reaches peak form in gathering brushstrokes that flicker and burn like auras on fire.'' --Jerry Saltz, New York magazine
This highly anticipated publication focuses on the years 1979 to 1985--a significant and deeply generative period within Joan Mitchell''s decades-long career. As Mitchell became even more fully immersed in daily life at her property in Vetheuil, France--surrounded by lush gardens, and challenged and inspired by new creative relationships--her studio practice flourished and her work became even more ambitious and expansive. Executed in an increasingly bold palette, the works from this period exemplify Mitchell''s nuanced mastery of composition, scale, and color. In addition to her large-scale abstract works, this publication features numerous smaller paintings and a selection of archival materials.
Included in the book are several texts that complement the illustrated works. A new essay by the bestselling author Julie Otsuka recollects her encounters with Mitchell''s paintings over the years. A fascinating conversation between Mitchell and the French philosopher Yves Michaud from 1986 is featured. Reflections by the artists Shinique Smith and Lily Stockman each explore a unique component of Mitchell''s oeuvre or practice, underscoring Mitchell''s continued influence on artists today. -
William Eggleston : the outlands, selected works
William Eggleston, Rachel Kushner
- David Zwirner
- 6 Octobre 2022
- 9781644230770
The Outlands, a series of photographs taken by Eggleston between 1969 and 1974, establishes the groundbreaking visual themes and lexicon that the artist would continue to develop for decades to come. The work offers a journey through the mythic and evolving American South, seen through the artist's lens: vibrant colors and a profound sense of nostalgia echo throughout Eggleston's breathtaking oeuvre. His motifs of signage, cars, and roadside scenes create an iconography of American vistas that inspired a generation of photographers. With its in-depth selection of unforgettable images - a wood-paneled station wagon, doors flung open, parked in an expansive rural setting; the artist's grandmother in the moody interior of their family's Sumner, Mississippi home - The Outlands is emblematic of Eggleston's dynamic, experimental practice. The breadth of work reenergizes his iconic landscapes and forms a new perspective of the American South in transition.
Accompanying the ninety brilliant Kodachrome images and details, a literary, fictional text by the critically acclaimed author Rachel Kushner imagines a story of hitchhikers trekking through the Deep South. New scholarship by Robert Slifkin reframes the art-historical significance of Eggleston's oeuvre, proposing affinities with work by Marcel Duchamp, Dan Graham, Jasper Johns, and Robert Smithson. A foreword by William Eggleston III offers important insights into the process of selecting and sequencing this series of images. -
Featuring a single work made up of twenty-six drawings, Gerhard Richter''s newest artist book feels like a facsimile. ''[Richter''s drawings] are of stringent individuality and recognizably by Richter''s hand, not based on their signature style but rather because they make their theme the act of drawing itself, gauging the conditions of drawing.'' --Dieter Schwarz
In this new body of work, Richter combines various elements from a limited set of forms and techniques--including meandering lines, broad tonal planes applied with angled strokes of graphite, and passages of smudging, hatching, and erasure--thereby uniting choice and chance through this infinitely generative process. The resulting works on paper serve as condensed expressions, encapsulating and refining the fundamental principles that have consistently defined Richter''s artistic journey.
Reproduced at actual size, the drawings encourage in-depth observation as well as inspire compelling reimagining of abstraction. -
Joan Mitchell : i carry my landscapes around with me
Joan Mitchell
- David Zwirner
- 6 Février 2020
- 9781644230282
L'artiste abstraite américaine Joan Mitchell a établi une approche singulière de l'abstraction au cours de sa carrière. Sa réinterprétation inventive de la relation figure-sol traditionnelle et de l'utilisation synesthésique de la couleur la distingue de ses pairs, résultant en des compositions intuitivement construites et chargées d'émotions qui évoquent alternativement des individus, des observations, des lieux et des points dans le temps. Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition éponyme à David Zwirner New York en 2019, ce livre offre une occasion unique d'explorer les oeuvres à grande échelle de l'artiste et son expérimentation formelle. Avec des essais de Suzanne Hudson et de Robert Slifkin.

YAYOI KUSAMA: I SPEND EACH DAY EMBRACING FLOWERS
Kusama Yayoi/Slifkin
- David Zwirner
- 5 Août 2024
- 9781644231333
The newest book from the widely revered Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama features her latest monumental and vibrant work and is the first to explore the experience of seeing it from the lens of the visitor
''My entire life has been painted here. Every day, any day. I will never cease dedicating my whole life to my love for the universe.'' --Yayoi Kusama
One of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Yayoi Kusama occupies a unique position within recent art history. Since the 1950s, she has created a profoundly personal oeuvre that resonates with a global audience. Distinctly recognizable, her works frequently deploy repetitive elements--such as dots--to evoke both microscopic and macroscopic universes.
Celebrating the visitor experience, this publication offers an immersive tour of Kusama''s 2023 exhibition at David Zwirner New York. Illustrating thirty-five paintings, a gigantic sculptural maze of pumpkin walls, a lush garden of towering flowers, and a fan-favorite Infinity Mirror Room, the result is a book that offers the sense of experiencing the work in person for readers who have not had the chance.
New scholarship by Robert Slifkin looks at how Kusama innovates and complicates art historical traditions of image production and how her art seeks to connect humans with the greater cosmos. An essay by Lynn Zelevansky reflects on her own long-standing engagement with Kusama''s work and the ways in which it, across the decades, can be seen as a record of love in all its complexity: full of humanity, generosity, affection, sadness, and pain. -
Pettibon is known for his characteristically youthful aesthetic and sharply satirical critique of American culture. Though drenched in cynicism, his work empathizes with the dizzying madness of our own humanity as it engages both so-called high and low culture. Perhaps most poetic of the many motifs present in Pettibon's oeuvre is the surfer. In 1985 Pettibon began Surfers--a series he continues to work on to this day--popular for its depiction of the lone surfer silently carving "a line of beauty," along an impossibly large wave.
This publication traces a selection of one hundred surfers from the series, from smaller monochromatic works on paper to colorful large-scale paintings applied directly to the wall. For Pettibon's protagonist in these works-his countercultural hero-surfing exists apart from all else. Momentarily he achieves sublimity on the wave, distant yet synced with turbulent reality. We are forced to confront our own scale: small and feeble in the face of so much sublime power. Pettibon's lyrical writings on these painted surfaces-both his own and taken from literature-reference his own philosophies and the confusions of reality-he critiques the hypocrisies and vanities of the world he engages. To help navigate, the renowned New Yorker writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life, William Finnegan, perfectly distills the transcendent nature and lack thereof in Pettibon's work. -
Stunning translations of images from the internet and the artist''s iPhone to canvas, Luc Tuymans''s quiet paintings belie an underlying moral complexity.
''Once Tuymans''s muted compositions felt fatalistic; now they appear as committed assaults on our digital fragmentation and the lies that thrive in its cracks.'' - Jason Farago, The New York Times
One of the most important painters working today, Luc Tuymans pioneered a distinctive figurative style beginning in the 1980s that has proven singularly influential among his peers as well as subsequent generations of artists. Tuymans''s deeply resonant compositions insist on the power of images to simultaneously convey and conceal meaning. Rendered in a restrained and muted palette, the artist''s canvases are based on preexisting imagery from a range of historical, cultural, and popular media sources.
This monograph of recent work reveals how Tuymans''s paintings grasps the mystery, strangeness, and possibilities of contemporary image making. It highlights a body of work that Tuymans has been working on since 2020, bringing together three exhibitions: Good Luck, at David Zwirner, Hong Kong; Eternity, at David Zwirner, Paris; and The Barn, at David Zwirner, New York. For this trilogy, Tuymans has heightened the contrast and saturation in his paintings, underscoring the urgency of our contemporary global moment. With an introduction by Joshua Cohen, and texts by the art historians Jonathan Crary and eric de Chassey, the writer and critic Lynne Tillman, and the writer Su Wei, this publication offers an in-depth, dimensional understanding of both Tuymans''s outlook and his assertion of the relevance of painting in our digitally saturated world. -
Best known for his iconic print Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as the Great Wave, Katsushika Hokusai was a revolutionary printmaker. His mastery of ukiyo-e in the nineteenth century has inspired generations of artists since, and his works exposed the world to the delicate beauty and power of Japanese woodblock technique. In addition to his remarkable artistic output, Hokusai was also a dedicated teacher who sought to pass down his deep understanding of color and painting to practicing artists through immensely detailed written tutorials. Here, for the first time in centuries, are excerpts from his manuals, many available for the first time in English. It is an invaluable insight into the psyche of a true master, and a rare personal account of an artist's life during a fascinating period in Japan's history.
Connecting Hokusai's prints from the Edo period to manga, author Ryoko Matsuba foregrounds Hokusai's contributions to Japanese creative expression from the 1800s to today. Also included in this book: Vincent Van Gogh's letter about Hokusai's Great Wave and the contemporary artist Ikeda Manabu's concise observations about Hokusai's lasting influence. -

"For Blue there are no boundaries or solutions." -Derek Jarman.
Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman's death due to an AIDS-related illness, Blue is a daring and powerful work of art. The film - and this highly-anticipated book's text - serve as iconoclastic responses to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis.
Written poetically and surrealistically, Jarman's text moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical. Stories of quotidian life--getting coffee, reading the newspaper, and walking down the sidewalk--escalate to visions of Marco Polo, the Taj Mahal, or blue fighting yellow. Facing death and a cascade of pills, Jarman presents his illness in delirium and metaphors. He contemplates the physicality of emotions in lyrical prose as he grounds this story in the constant return to Blue - a color, a feeling, a funk. Michael Charlesworth's compelling introduction brings Blue into conversation with Jarman's visual paintings as never before. -

With a career spanning more than sixty years, the renowned painter Gerhard Richter is one of the greatest artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book celebrates the artist's continued dedication to experimentation and innovation.
The Abstract Pictures were created when Richter, a few years ago, poured colored enamel paints onto a glass plate and allowed them to flow into one another in order to take shapes. He then captured these ephemeral moments with his camera and selected 100 of these "pictures" for inclusion in the book alongside equally abstract texts formed by randomly generated letter combinations.
An artwork of its own, this intimate volume inspires both close looking and a beautiful interpretation of abstraction. -

Cette collection des dernières peintures de Mamma Andersson met en lumière la beauté et le mystère de la nature et l'effacement du temps. Dans une série d'oeuvres oniriques inspirées des intérieurs et des paysages de son enfance, la peintre suédoise Mamma Andersson s'interroge sur la frontière entre réalité et illusion. Elle introduit des teintes chaudes et réfléchies dans une palette de couleurs autrement froides et sourdes, conférant un sentiment d'un autre monde aux scènes et aux sujets du quotidien qui peuplent ce nouveau corpus d'oeuvres, toutes réalisées entre 2020 et 2021.Avec un essai de Karl Ove Knausgaard conçu comme une méditation sur les souvenirs d'enfance d'exploration insouciante et sur le portail que l'art crée entre le monde dans lequel nous vivons et les mondes qu'Andersson évoque avec son pinceau.

In this volume, the writer and Rodin scholar Rachel Corbett selects excerpts from the famous sculptor's book Cathedrals of France, first published in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I. Cathedrals were central to the way Rodin thought about his art: he saw them as visual metaphors for the human figure, among the finest examples of craftsmanship known to modern man, and as a model for how to live and work-slowly, brick by brick. Here, Corbett takes the fire at Notre Dame and the concerns over its restoration as an entry point in an exploration of Rodin's cathedrals.
