Biografie e Catalogo delle opere esposte. Edizione in inglese e tedesco . 8vo (cm 21,5x28,5). pp. 224. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Six Feet Under collects an international array of contemporary and historical artworks, some dating back to the sixteenth century, that take on the topic of death and decay. In art, death is a universal subject. In contemporary art, two extremes can be determined: art either reclaims the rituals of death--which have strayed from organized religion to professional service providers and the media--and then re-presents or reconstructs them; or, it repositions the unwelcome corpse back into our field of vision, reminding us in a direct way that our physical existence continues after death. Gathering work across continents and centuries, but focusing mainly on contemporary art, this volume focuses on key themes like the burial of children (from Albert Anker to Teresa Margolles); cadavers (from Félix Vallotton to Andres Serrano); the death of the artist (from Ferdinand to Gianni Motti); and coffins (from Ferdinand Hodler to Joe Scanlan). Six Feet Under raccoglie una serie internazionale di opere d'arte contemporanee e storiche, alcune delle quali risalenti al XVI secolo, che affrontano il tema della morte e della decadenza. Nell'arte, la morte è un soggetto universale. Nell'arte contemporanea si possono individuare due estremi: l'arte recupera i rituali della morte - che sono passati dalla religione organizzata ai fornitori di servizi professionali e ai media - e li ripresenta o li ricostruisce; oppure riposiziona il cadavere indesiderato nel nostro campo visivo, ricordandoci in modo diretto che la nostra esistenza fisica continua dopo la morte. Raccogliendo opere che attraversano continenti e secoli, ma concentrandosi principalmente sull'arte contemporanea, questo volume si concentra su temi chiave come la sepoltura dei bambini (da Albert Anker a Teresa Margolles); i cadaveri (da Félix Vallotton ad Andres Serrano); la morte dell'artista (da Ferdinand a Gianni Motti); e le bare (da Ferdinand Hodler a Joe Scanlan).…
