This kaleidoscopic exhibition catalog celebrates Lichtenstein's multifaceted career-from his iconic achievements in the Pop Art movement and beyond. Published to mark the centennial of Lichtenstein's birth, this retrospective volume is brimming with brilliant reproductions that highlight the entirety of the artist's oeuvre. It features the acclaimed works that helped establish 1960s pop art-panels inspired by comic strips and advertising, which send up societal stereotypes. It looks at his pioneering use of painted benday dots and carefully drawn and in-filled brushstrokes, his interiors and landscapes, re-stagings of still lifes, his expansion into sculpture and ceramics, and works that pay homage to famous artists such as Picasso, Monet, and Van Gogh. Throughout this magnificent catalog readers will come to appreciate not only Lichtenstein's vibrant and dynamic use of color, line, and texture, but also how his continuing confrontation with the visual language of popular culture and consumerism continues to resonate today.

Gedichte schreiben ist eine kreative Art, um mit den Aufgaben des Alltags umzugehen. Ich habe schon ein E-Book: Gedichte für den Alltag geschrieben. Nun setze ich die Veröffentlichungen mit einem Buch fort, sodass sie auch stets präsent sind. Denn ich beschäftige mich oft spontan mit Gedanken und Inspirationen in Gedichtform. Den hoffentlich zahlreichen Leser/-innen wünsche ich viel Vergnügen damit.

Die Gedichte Stefan Singers stehen mit ihren beklemmenden Visionen dem Existenzialismus Samuel Becketts oder Roman Opalkas ebenso nahe wie der Dichtung amerikanischer Autoren der Beat Generation. In ihrer surrealen Zwischenweltlichkeit zeigen sie die Ausweglosigkeit des in seiner spirituellen und sozialen Situation gefangenen Menschen.Der einzelne Mensch erscheint reduziert auf ein Dasein als Kosten- und Nutzenfaktor, als Bestandteil eines Pools von Humankapital, dessen Elemente durch Panik und Bedrohung ihrer eigentlichen Bestimmung und Identität entgleiten und verloren gehen.

In der Postmoderne zeichnen sich Konflikte der Gegenwart, vom Rechtspopulismus bis zur Identitätspolitik, bereits ab. Spektakuläre Beispiele aus Design, Architektur, Kino, Pop, Philosophie, Kunst und Literatur erzählen vom Beginn der Informationsgesellschaft, von der Entfesselung der Finanzmärkte, von Subkulturen, Disco, Punk, Techno-Pop, Schulterpolstern und Memphis-Möbeln.1967 begann unsere Gegenwart: Die Moderne, die glaubte, alles sortieren zu können mit gleichen Häusern, Möbeln und Rechten für alle, wurde verabschiedet, und aus ihren Ruinen entstand eine bizarre, exzentrische Welt. Architekt*innen erklärten den Vergnügungspark zur idealen Stadt, Designer*innen befreiten sich vom guten Geschmack, Selbstverwirklichung trat an die Stelle der Systemkämpfe, und neue Medien synchronisierten den Globus. Der Band ist ein Standardwerk zur Postmoderne, opulent und breit angelegt in Bildern und Texten verschiedener Disziplinen.Künstler*innen:Aldo Rossi, Alessandro Mendini, Andy Warhol, Arata Isozaki, Charles Jencks, Charles Moore, Coop Himmelb(l)au, David Byrne, David Hockney, David Lynch, Denise Scott Brown, Donald Barthelme, Donna Haraway, Ed Ruscha, Ettore Sottsass, Félix Guattari, Frank Gehry, Frederic Jameson, Gaetano Pesce, General Idea, Gilles Deleuze, Gustav Peichl, Hans Hollein, Harumi Yamaguchi, J.G.

Im New York der Fünfzigerjahre, bevor er zu einem der bekanntesten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde, war Andy Warhol ein geschätzter und erfolgreicher Gebrauchsgrafiker . In dieser Zeit schuf er, um Kunden zu gewinnen, Kontakte zu pflegen und Freundschaften aufzubauen, sieben handgefertigte Bücher mit eigenen Zeichnungen und skurrilen Texten, die unter anderem sein Faible für Katzen, Essen, Schuhe, hübsche Jungs und hinreißende Mädchen verrieten. Die in Kleinstauflage erstellten Bücher sind heute unerschwingliche Sammlerstücke. TASCHENs Reprint von sieben dieser Bücher im XL-Format gleicht Warhols Originalen im Detail. Mit Titeln wie Love Is a Pink Cake, 25 Cats Named Sam und À la recherche du shoe perdu offenbaren die Bände Warhols vollendete Zeichenkunst , seine grenzenlose Kreativität und seinen mit zahlreichen Anspielungen gespickten Humor. Dieser Band ist ein reizvolles Spiel mit Stilen und Gattungen ; so widmet A Is for Alphabet jedem Buchstaben des Alphabets eine eigene Seite, während die Illustrationen von holprigen Dreizeilern über merkwürdige Begegnungen zwischen Mensch und Tier begleitet werden. In the Bottom of My Garden ist Warhols Version eines Kinderbuchs und zugleich ein Bekenntnis zur homoerotischen Liebe. Bei Wild Raspberries hingegen parodiert er mit einem Füllhorn abenteuerlicher Rezepte ein Kochbuch. Dieses farbenfrohe Portfolio wird durch Essays ergänzt, in denen Warhols Illustrationen erläutert werden. Mit selten gesehenen Fotografien des Künstlers und Bildern seiner kommerziellen Auftragsarbeiten ordnen sie Warhols Kunst aus den fünfziger Jahren in einen größeren Zusammenhang ein und bietet Einblicke in seine frühe schöpferische Vorgehensweise. Diese wenig bekannten, aber sehr begehrten Frühwerke Warhols wirken heute noch ebenso anregend und originell wie in den seligen Zeiten der 1950er. Mit einem einführenden Essay der Warhol-Expertin Nina Schleif sowie zeitgenössischen Bildern und Fotos von Warhol zeigt dieser sorgfältige Nachdruck Warhol in dem Moment, in dem aus dem Gebrauchsgrafiker ein Künstler wird. © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

Join Peter Brathwaite on an extraordinary journey through representations of Black subjects in Western art, from medieval Europe through the present day.

Wayne Thiebaud's famous, literally candy-colored still lifes of pies, cakes, gumball machines, and lipsticks reflect the promise and abundance of the American way of life¿a society of plenty, where supply exceeds demand.The tactile impression created by his pasty layers of paint brings the objects to life and creates an atmosphere in which irony and melancholy are carefully balanced. Testing the possibilities of painterly expression, Thiebaud's brilliant painting technique explores the boundaries of the real and imagined world. This catalogue presents all aspects of the legendary American artist's oeuvre, including still lifes and portraits, as well as his deserted, multi-perspective cityscapes and river landscapes, in luminous pastels that exude a peculiar summertime sadness.WAYNE THIEBAUD (1920, Mesa, AZ-2021, Sacramento, CA) began his career as a cartoonist and graphic designer, briefly working for Walt Disney Studios. As an artist, Thiebaud was associated with the US Pop Art movement: his still lifes gained nationwide attention as part of the landmark exhibition New Paintings of Common Objects in 1962, which also featured Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Ed Ruscha and is considered a milestone in the critical reception of Pop Art.

Joe Tilson RA (1928-2023) was one of the great figures in post-war British art and a pivotal artist of the British Pop Art movement during the 1960s. His work ever evolving, he explored many new directions and a great variety of mediums after moving away from his Pop origins. Astonishingly, no general monograph documenting all these phases of Tilson's prolific production has ever been published. This book remedies this through a series of insightful chapters, exploring each decade of the artist's career, written by Marco Livingstone, a respected authority on British contemporary art. Featuring a lively and visually rich design, this unique work will guide the reader through the evolution of one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British art.

Before the rise of Pop Art proper, Alex Katz developed an iconic style of figurative painting in the early 1960s- influenced by film, television, and billboard advertising. Seemingly detached and incredibly stylish, he created portraits of the New York scene as well as idyllic landscapes. Printmaking plays an equally central role in Katz's work. He uses lithographs, etchings, silkscreens, woodcuts and linocuts to reproduce, reflect and further reduce his bold aesthetic, while retaining the radiant color characteristic for his paintings. Since the first edition in 2011, Katz has almost doubled his output of prints-this timely new edition includes his complete prints, cutout editions, artists' books, and also lists his works of applied art like book illustrations and public art projects. New essays and interviews with the artist give profound insights into the work of one of the foremost American artists of the present.When ALEX KATZ (*1927, New York City) began his artistic career in the 1950s, Abstract Expressionism was the reigning style. Ahead of his time, he created stylized portraits against flat, monochrome backgrounds. From 1965 onwards, he embarked on a prolific career in printmaking, exhausting all its possibilities: from traditional craftsmanship to state-of-the-art reproduction techniques.

Part novel, part Pop artwork, Andy Warhol's a is an electrifying slice of life at his Factory studio'A work of genius' NewsweekIn the early 1960s, Andy Warhol set out to turn the novel into pop art. a, the first book he wrote, is the result. Transcribed from audiotapes recorded in and around his legendary art studio, it begins with the actor Ondine popping pills, then follows a cast of thinly-disguised superstars, musicians and prima donnas as they run riot through Manhattan. A knowing response to James Joyce's Ulysses, using the freewheeling, spontaneous techniques as Warhol's visual art, this filthy, funny book is a uniquely creative insight into Factory life.

These people are witty and they are grand, they do terrible things and make awful remarks' New York Review of Books

CollaborationIn 2007 when i first learned Sam Jedig´s project of designing Artstamps from the art in his Stalke Gallery and Stalke Out Of Space. I thought What a great idea. And I wondered why no gallerist, at least to my knowledge, had ever done such a things before. And i must say Sam has don an excellent job with it...William Anthony

"Spejlrefleks" er en digtsamling, som man på sigt kan læse. Om det er kort eller lang sigt er ligegyldig, for ordet på sigt giver ingen mening hverken kort eller langt. Hvad er på lng sigt? Er det et år, 2 år eller ti? Det er det vel nok næsten omtrent nærved om et sekund cirka. Et afsnit i digtsamlingen kredser om religion, hvor forfatteren i flere digte på en humoristisk måde tager områder som Trosbekendelsen og De 7 Dødssynder med mere.
