Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 22 x 25 cm, 88 pages with 37 color illustrations - Jeff Koons' Popeye series, begun in 2002, incorporates some of the artist's signature themes and motifs: the surrealistic combination of everyday objects, cartoon imagery, outsized scale, art-historical references and children's toys. The sculptures reproduced here continue Koons' fondness for casting inflatable toys in aluminum carefully painted to resemble supple plastic which he juxtaposes here with unaltered everyday objects, such as chairs or garbage cans. The Popeye paintings are complex and layered compositions that combine disparate images both found and created by Koons (including images of the sculptures in the series). The instantly recognizable figures of Popeye and Olive Oyl are central, and recur across several key works within the book. Frederic Tuten, Arthur C. Danto and Dorothea von Hantelmann provide commentary on this fun body of work, which Koons discusses in a conversation with Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 240 Seiten, 170 Abb. gebunden mit Schutzumschlag - Andy Warhol (1928 1987) bewegte sich zeitlebens zwischen Malerei und mechanischer Bildproduktion und entschloss sich nach einer erfolgreichen Karriere als Werbegrafiker für das Leben als freier Künstler. Sein Blick blieb jedoch stets auf die Welt des Konsums und der Massenindustrie gerichtet. Die Publikation widmet sich seinen entscheidenden künstlerischen Anfangsjahren und zeigt frühe Zeichnungen sowie Gemälde der beginnenden 1960er-Jahre, in denen der individuelle Stil und Duktus des Künstlers schrittweise hinter mediatisierten, kollektiven Bildmaterialien und technischen Herstellungsverfahren verschwinden. Anhand berühmter Beispiele, etwa den Campbell s Soup Cans oder Dollar Bills, wird die Erschütterung deutlich, mit der Warhol auf spektakuläre Weise an den Grundfesten der Modernen Kunst rüttelte.

Berkeley, Los Angeles, London: University of California Press. 1996. 4to. Original black cloth, lettered in silver to spine, in photoillustrated dust-jacket; pp. [7], ix-xii, 194, [2]; minimal creasing to edges of jacket; a nearfine copy, in like dustjacket. First edition, first impression of critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto's expressive essay on the achievement of this controversial photographer.One of the most distinguished philosophical critics of the arts, Arthur C. Danto provides a lucid and graceful discussion of Robert Mapplethorpe's career. Addressing the public reception of Mapplethorpe's work and the accusations of pornography, Danto breaks with common responses to these photographs to give a sympathetic account of the artist's legacy. While refusing to retreat from the sexual content in Mapplethorpe's portraits, Danto uses illustrations of Mapplethorpe's work as examples from which to discuss the theoretical relationship between photographer and subject.
