Hiroshi Sugimoto
Kerry Brougher, David Elliott

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005

Beautiful, thought-provoking and utterly magical
I recently discovered Sugimoto's pictures browsing the web. This book is beautifully produced and plate after plate demands not only an aesthetic response from the viewer but also a decidedly intellectual and conceptual one (maybe that's the same thing!). It's rare ...
  
  











  



  
Andreas Gefeller: Supervisions
Andreas Gefeller

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005

Photographer Andreas Gefeller sees the world through a strange lens, offering the viewer pictures that at first glance seem composed of abstract, color-saturated elements and only later resolve into something completely familiar--chairs on a beach, lines on pavement, grass on an urban plaza--but yet not. In Soma, the series that first brought him ...
  
  











  



  
Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art From The Sigg Collection
Feng Boyi, Christoph Heinrich, ...

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005

overview of the diversity of styles and subjects of contemporary Chinese art
The more than 200 items (out of a total of 1200) from the collection of Uli Sigg, Switzerland's former ambassador to China, make an eclectic selection which convincingly demonstrates that Chinese art is now truly modern and contemporary; although many international art ...
  
  











  



  
Paul Klee: Hand Puppets (Emanating)
Christine Hopfengart, Osamu Okuda, ...

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006

Totally amazing unseen puppet photos and info!
I just got this newly published book and it is simply wonderful. I have a huge puppet book library and having just skimmed through it, I am thrilled to see all photos/puppets are ones I've never seen anywhere else. The puppets of Klee are an absolute inspiration, and ...
  
  











  



  
Emil Nolde: Eye Contact
Manfred Reuther, Emil Nolde

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005

Emil Nolde is regarded as one of the most noteworthy Expressionist painters. Portraits play a prominent role in the artist's oeuvre, particularly those of his early creative period. During those years in which Nolde's art developed to maturity, his painting was enriched by an innovative power that inspired later artists well into the twentieth ...

Gregory Crewdson
Martin Hochleitner, Urs Stahel

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005

A timely retrospective from one of the most referenced visual artists
Having spoken several times with the artist Gregory Crewdson, I'm comfortable in saying that a retrospective of his art is an insight only into his (r)evolutionary techniques and dream narratives. The man himself is a slightly bemused, curious artist with an assured ...
  
  











  



  
Ana Mendieta: Earth Body
Olga Viso

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2004

Comprehensive study of the contemporary artist
Ana Mendieta was only in her early 40s when she died in 1985. Born in Havana, Cuba, she came to the U. S. as a political refugee with her family when she was 12. Beginning in her artistic training at the U. of Iowa, she incorporated feminist and multicultural leanings ...
  
  











  



  
Peter Bialobrzeski: Neon Tigers (Hatje Cantz)
Florian Hanig, Christof Ribbat

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2004

Amazing Images
These shots are from an alternate reality, maybe the one where Blade Runner was filmed. They are pictures of ultra-modern, ultra-crowded Asian cities, some including a slice of pre-modern life. The subject matter alone is a bit overwhelming. But the style is what ...
  
  











  



  
Emil Nolde: Unpainted Pictures
Jolanthe Nolde, Manfred Reuther, ...

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2001

Unpainted Pictures
Nolde, though sympathetic to the Nazi Party, was included among the artists who were exhibited in the "Degenerate Art Show". He was also banned from painting throughout the war which he spent in the north German town of Seebüll. Being the artist he was he was unable to ...
  
  











  



  
Pink
Karl Schawelka

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006

Pink: The Exposed Color in Contemporary Art and Culture
I thought "Pink" to be a wonderful mixture of artistic styles. It captures emotions of humor, politics, sex, sorrow, awakening, happiness,and more. Often thought of as a kitchy color, you will find so much more to the color and word "Pink" by purchasing this book.
  
  











  



  
Zaha Hadid: Architecture
Andreas Ruby, Patrik Schumacher

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2003

As Zaha Hadid has put it, "There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?" Why indeed? Hadid's architectural conceptions confound one with impossibilities, with floating buildings, indecipherable volumes, untraceable paths of light, spaces seemingly less related to real, livable space than something from a virtual dimension. Hers is a visionary ...
  
  











  



  
Ron Mueck
Susanna Greeves, Ron Mueck

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006

sculpture blended with photography, and a lot of sense
Even since the sixties the idea of getting into a form sculpture able to depict reality in such and instance that can mistake the eye, and play with the mimesis notion in such a way, perception by all means get deceived, has been explored. In the contemporary work ...
  
  











  



  
Donald Judd: Architecture
Brigitte Huck, Donald Judd

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2004

One of the leading representatives of Minimalism, Donald Judd's "specific objects," made of steel, wood, aluminum, and Plexiglas, undertook a radical and revolutionary analysis and redefinition of sculpture as it exists in space. Somewhat less familiar are Judd's numerous architectural and furniture designs, works which are closely related in ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Matisse: Figure Color Space
Stefan Grohe, Peter Kropmanns, ...

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006

No other subject inspired Henri Matisse with such passion throughout his career as the female figure in interior settings. This is the most comprehensive publication to cover the topic of women in the work of the great regenerator of European painting, and in so doing, it covers the full spectrum of Matisse's creative evolution, from the small, ...
