"This book is the most comprehensive publication to date on the work of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), an important sculptor and a key member of the New York art scene in the first half of the 20th century. Accompanying the first major retrospective of Nadelman's work since 1975, it brings his achievement to a new generation of art enthusiasts. Nadelman fused classical influences with the subject matter and imagery of popular culture. Using bronze, marble, wood, and plaster, he created stylized, curvilinear emblems of modern life whose formal motifs referenced both the antique and the modern. Here, Barbara Haskell presents a fully researched and broad-based examination of Nadelman's art by juxtaposing his elegant drawings with related sculptures, filling a gap in the literature on 20th-century American sculpture." - Publisher.

The prominent Genovese architect Renzo Piano--recipient of the 1998 Pritzker Award and architect of the Whitney Museum of American Art and Morgan Library renovations, as well as the new New York Times building--has just completed a new and unusual museum building--the Zentrum Paul Klee on the outskirts of Bern. The center, says Piano, is dedicated to the "poet of silence," and thus it was fitting to consider building a museum that would speak softly. The Zentrum Paul Klee rises upward in the form of three hills connected by a 150-meter-long thoroughfare, the "Museum Street" serving as a path within the complex. The three structures make up a harmonious yet prominent landscape sculpture whose roofs are supported by innovative steel construction. Includes photographs, design sketches, plans and models--a living image of a magnificent building., HATJE CANTZ 2006, 0, Whitney Museum Of American Art 2002.

ISBN 9780810968332. Pop artist Claes Oldenburg has long been one of the most popular American artists, and museumgoers worldwide are familiar with his soft sculptures of everyday objects. For the past four years, the Whitney Museum of American Art has been quietly acquiring his drawings, as well as those made with his wife and artistic partner, Coosje van Bruggen. Most major art museums have no more than 10 Oldenburg drawings in their holdings: the Whitney now has approximately 90 -- the largest such collection in the world. This assemblage of Oldenburg drawings is evidence of the museum's commitment to collecting in depth the work of great living American draftsmen.Published to accompany the largest exhibition to date of Oldenburg's drawings, this beautifully produced volume covers nearly a 40-year period, from 1959 to 1998, and features 92 full-color illustrations, with text and an interview with Oldenburg by Janie C.

"A painter of outstanding originality who was considered one of the founders of the French Romantic School, Theodore Gericault left Paris in late 1816, at the age of twenty-five, and spent the next year in Italy, making an extraordinary series of works in a variety of media. This beautiful book studies the work produced by Gericault during this year and assesses the importance of the trip for the rest of his career. The book discusses and reproduces almost every painting and drawing done by Gericault during this period: his copies after the antique and earlier masters; his works on themes of contemporary Italian genre (an interest that made him almost unique among French artists of the period); the works on mythological and erotic themes; and his paramount Italian project - the series of works on the annual race of riderless horses down the Roman Corso, which have been organized here for the first time to illustrate fully the project's gradual development from the depiction of a scene Gericault actually observed into a timeless if essentially classical image of heroic struggle. The book sheds light not only on a hitherto unexamined period of Gericault's life but also on the efforts of a key figure in a transitional period of French art to come to grips with the classical and neoclassical past while embracing the new century's passions for the exotic and the real."- DJ., Yale University Press, 1997, 3, New York : Whitney Library of Design, 1988, ©1987., 1988.

Initiée par la célèbre sculptrice et mécène Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942), la collection du Whitney Museum of American Art de New York offre une véritable anthologie de l'art américain du XXe siècle. Cette collection comporte des pièces maîtresses du Pop art. Peintures, sculptures, impressions... une soixantaine de ces oeuvres seront présentées pour la première fois à Paris, au Musée Maillol du 22 septembre 2017 au 21 janvier 2018. Des figures majeures du mouvement Pop art, Robert Rauschenberg et Jasper Johns, aux sculptures et toiles monumentales de Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann, James Rosenquist et Alex Katz, en passant par les sérigraphies d'Andy Warhol, les peintures de Jim Dine ou de Roy Lichtenstein, l'exposition et le livre qui l'accompagne présentent le Pop art dans l'Amérique de l'après-guerre, du début des années 1960 à la fin des années 1970. Si l'exposition convoque ses plus grands représentants, elle va également permettre de découvrir des artistes américains moins connus en France (George Segal, Rosalyn Drexler, May Stevens, John Wesley) et d'apprécier la diversité des techniques employées. Au début des années 1960, les Etats-Unis voient émerger en l'espace d'une décennie une génération d'artistes en réaction à l'expressionnisme abstrait qui domine à l'époque. La société de consommation se développe parallèlement à une situation économique en pleine croissance. C'est dans ce contexte que le Pop art va émerger. Les artistes du courant Pop représentent généralement les objets du quotidien et les signes de la culture de masse populaire, recourant aux techniques employées dans la publicité, la bande dessinée, convoquant des éléments textuels. Ce mouvement artistique se caractérise aussi par ses aplats de couleurs uniformes dans des tons francs, intenses, tranchants, selon une technique qu'on appellera le hard-edge. Il affirme sa croyance en la puissance des images, et c'est souvent avec humour, parfois avec ironie, qu'il se réapproprie des figures iconiques comme Jackie Kennedy ou Marilyn Monroe et dépeint the American way of life pour le célébrer et le critiquer en même temps., Fonds Mercator 2017 2017, 0, Honesdale PA: Thomas M.

The Whitneys, Vanderbilts, Astors, Paynes and other wealthy NY families saw themselves as the new aristocracy and desired both the furnishings and architectural elements of the best houses in Europe..

"This book is the most comprehensive publication to date on the work of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), an important sculptor and a key member of the New York art scene in the first half of the 20th century. Accompanying the first major retrospective of Nadelman's work since 1975, it brings his achievement to a new generation of art enthusiasts. Nadelman fused classical influences with the subject matter and imagery of popular culture. Using bronze, marble, wood, and plaster, he created stylized, curvilinear emblems of modern life whose formal motifs referenced both the antique and the modern. Here, Barbara Haskell presents a fully researched and broad-based examination of Nadelman's art by juxtaposing his elegant drawings with related sculptures, filling a gap in the literature on 20th-century American sculpture." - Publisher.

The prominent Genovese architect Renzo Piano--recipient of the 1998 Pritzker Award and architect of the Whitney Museum of American Art and Morgan Library renovations, as well as the new New York Times building--has just completed a new and unusual museum building--the Zentrum Paul Klee on the outskirts of Bern. The center, says Piano, is dedicated to the "poet of silence," and thus it was fitting to consider building a museum that would speak softly. The Zentrum Paul Klee rises upward in the form of three hills connected by a 150-meter-long thoroughfare, the "Museum Street" serving as a path within the complex. The three structures make up a harmonious yet prominent landscape sculpture whose roofs are supported by innovative steel construction. Includes photographs, design sketches, plans and models--a living image of a magnificent building., HATJE CANTZ 2006, 0, Whitney Museum Of American Art 2002.

ISBN 9780810968332. Pop artist Claes Oldenburg has long been one of the most popular American artists, and museumgoers worldwide are familiar with his soft sculptures of everyday objects. For the past four years, the Whitney Museum of American Art has been quietly acquiring his drawings, as well as those made with his wife and artistic partner, Coosje van Bruggen. Most major art museums have no more than 10 Oldenburg drawings in their holdings: the Whitney now has approximately 90 -- the largest such collection in the world. This assemblage of Oldenburg drawings is evidence of the museum's commitment to collecting in depth the work of great living American draftsmen.Published to accompany the largest exhibition to date of Oldenburg's drawings, this beautifully produced volume covers nearly a 40-year period, from 1959 to 1998, and features 92 full-color illustrations, with text and an interview with Oldenburg by Janie C.

"A painter of outstanding originality who was considered one of the founders of the French Romantic School, Theodore Gericault left Paris in late 1816, at the age of twenty-five, and spent the next year in Italy, making an extraordinary series of works in a variety of media. This beautiful book studies the work produced by Gericault during this year and assesses the importance of the trip for the rest of his career. The book discusses and reproduces almost every painting and drawing done by Gericault during this period: his copies after the antique and earlier masters; his works on themes of contemporary Italian genre (an interest that made him almost unique among French artists of the period); the works on mythological and erotic themes; and his paramount Italian project - the series of works on the annual race of riderless horses down the Roman Corso, which have been organized here for the first time to illustrate fully the project's gradual development from the depiction of a scene Gericault actually observed into a timeless if essentially classical image of heroic struggle. The book sheds light not only on a hitherto unexamined period of Gericault's life but also on the efforts of a key figure in a transitional period of French art to come to grips with the classical and neoclassical past while embracing the new century's passions for the exotic and the real."- DJ., Yale University Press, 1997, 3, New York : Whitney Library of Design, 1988, ©1987., 1988.

Initiée par la célèbre sculptrice et mécène Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942), la collection du Whitney Museum of American Art de New York offre une véritable anthologie de l'art américain du XXe siècle. Cette collection comporte des pièces maîtresses du Pop art. Peintures, sculptures, impressions... une soixantaine de ces oeuvres seront présentées pour la première fois à Paris, au Musée Maillol du 22 septembre 2017 au 21 janvier 2018. Des figures majeures du mouvement Pop art, Robert Rauschenberg et Jasper Johns, aux sculptures et toiles monumentales de Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann, James Rosenquist et Alex Katz, en passant par les sérigraphies d'Andy Warhol, les peintures de Jim Dine ou de Roy Lichtenstein, l'exposition et le livre qui l'accompagne présentent le Pop art dans l'Amérique de l'après-guerre, du début des années 1960 à la fin des années 1970. Si l'exposition convoque ses plus grands représentants, elle va également permettre de découvrir des artistes américains moins connus en France (George Segal, Rosalyn Drexler, May Stevens, John Wesley) et d'apprécier la diversité des techniques employées. Au début des années 1960, les Etats-Unis voient émerger en l'espace d'une décennie une génération d'artistes en réaction à l'expressionnisme abstrait qui domine à l'époque. La société de consommation se développe parallèlement à une situation économique en pleine croissance. C'est dans ce contexte que le Pop art va émerger. Les artistes du courant Pop représentent généralement les objets du quotidien et les signes de la culture de masse populaire, recourant aux techniques employées dans la publicité, la bande dessinée, convoquant des éléments textuels. Ce mouvement artistique se caractérise aussi par ses aplats de couleurs uniformes dans des tons francs, intenses, tranchants, selon une technique qu'on appellera le hard-edge. Il affirme sa croyance en la puissance des images, et c'est souvent avec humour, parfois avec ironie, qu'il se réapproprie des figures iconiques comme Jackie Kennedy ou Marilyn Monroe et dépeint the American way of life pour le célébrer et le critiquer en même temps., Fonds Mercator 2017 2017, 0, Honesdale PA: Thomas M.
