Duane Hanson: More than Reality
Thomas Buchsteiner, Keith Hartley, ...
Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2002
Wrinkles, facial hair, varicose veins, and fingernail dirt are hardly the bodily stuff of your average figurative sculpture, be it a Praxiteles or a Rodin. But Duane Hanson was never after the ideal figure, merely the familiar one, one so recognizable it is often mistaken for the flesh-and-blood waitress, house painter or cop it so vividly, eerily depicts in polyester resin. Clothed in the most ...

Ilya Kabakov (Contemporary Artists)
Boris Groys
Phaidon Press, 1998
Based in New York, Ilya Kabatov is considered the most important Russian artist to have emerged in the late-20th century. His installations are after akin to theatrical "mise-en-scenes", presenting a cramped communal apartment or a flooded art museum as though they are comedies on human frustration and doomed aspirations. Boris Groys, art critic and philosopher, surveys the artist's long career, ...

Unbroken Poetry : The Work of Enrique Martinez Celaya
Anne Brodzky
Whale & Star, 1999
A Wonderful Alternative
+ For those who like art that makes them think and feel...
I am surprised and disappointed with the reader from Michigan that gave such a bad review to this great book. It is this reader who has the distorting biases not Brodzky. While I did not agree completely with Brodzky's analysis of the work, it is clear that Martínez Celaya is one of most ...

Easter Island
Michael Kenna
Nazraeli Pr, 2002
Easter island masterpiece
+ worth it for a few stunning pictures
This is my first book by Michael Kenna an I can say in all honesty that I will be getting some more of his books. His technique is very deliberate - a signature. The images are powerful and invite multiple sittings to soak them in.. There is an air of desolation and silence in his pictures, but ...

Ilya Kabakov: Installations: Catalogue Raisonne 1983-2000
Oskar Batschmann, Boris Groys, ...
Richter Verlag, 2001
The Struggle with one's own memories, especially those of an unofficial artist in the last decades of the Soviet Union, has been the dominating theme of Ilya Kabakov (born 1933 in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine) since his 1987 move to the west. Kabakov invites our voyeuristic gaze to enter a private sphere and reminds us of the ugly, depressing features of communism's decline, of the terror and one's ...
