Michael Hakimi

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hakimi, Michael / Szymczyk, Adam / Dziewior, Yilmaz, PUBLISHER: Hatje Cantz Publishers, The murals, computer images, paper works, drawings and objects of Berlin-based Michael Hakimi are combined in site-specific installations to form intricate networks of meaning. Hakimi expands the function of his formally reduced, two-dimensional images by means of his interventions, emphasizing the semantic divide between object and sign. The artist examines the narrative potential of symbols and basic geometric shapes through the collagelike interaction of his works with readymades of the simplest materials. His installation "Large Oven" (), for example, realized for the Kunstverein Hamburg, and the spatial project "Roof" (), produced for the Kunsthalle Basel, both of which are comprehensively documented for the first time in the present publication, create walk-in scenarios reflecting social, political and urban realities. Beyond these works, this retrospective monograph presents all of Hakimi's work since .

Six Stories from the End of Representation: Images in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Elkins, James, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, James Elkins has shaped the discussion about how we--as artists, as art historians, or as outsiders--view art. He has not only revolutionized our thinking about the purpose of teaching art, but has also blazed trails in creating a means of communication between scientists, artists, and humanities scholars. In "Six Stories from the End of Representation," Elkins weaves stories about recent images from painting, photography, physics, astrophysics, and microscopy. These images, regardless of origin, all fail as representations: they are blurry, dark, pixellated, or otherwise unclear. In these opaque images, Elkins finds an opportunity to create stories that speak simultaneously to artists and to scientists, and to open both those fields to those of us who have little purchase in either. Regarding each image through the lens of the discipline that produced it, Elkins simultaneously affirms the unique structure of each way of viewing the world and brings those views together into a vibrant conversation.

Thomas Lawrence

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ashton, Geoffrey, PUBLISHER: Chaucer Press, Sir Thomas Lawrence painted some of the best known and loved images of the Regency period, Cherry Ripe, Pinkie and Master William Lambton (The Red Boy) which became some of the most famous images of Victorian and early twentieth century times. However, Lawrence's real genius was to bring to life a huge cross-section of late Georgian and Regency society. These range from the elderly and kindly Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, to the swashbuckling grandees of parliament and church. Lawrence had an uncanny ability to bring society to life, even when he was painting the Archbishop of Canterbury. Today, he is also regarded as the leading portrait painter of the whole of Europe of his time, and is best seen in the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle, where the Pope presides over the allied monarchs of Europe who defeated Napoleon. This beautifully illustrated book contains some of his finest work.
