Softcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 24 x 34 cm, Softcover, 128 pages, 90 color & 2 b/w illustrations - Lavishly illustrated monograph providing a first overview of Swiss artist's work. The Swiss artist David Renggli (born 1974, lives and works in Zurich) uses everyday items to create his surrealistic worlds in which objects suddenly appear to be individually souled: plant leaves take the form of a mobile, plush fabric forms a rare mythical creature, etc. His sculptures evoke a world of fairy tales and ghosts in a post-industrial society which once again yearns for fetishes.…

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 24 x 34 cm, Hardcover, 144 pages, 92 color & 6 b/w illustrations - The photographs of Los Angeles-based artist Charlie White explore the complex social and psychological realities of American culture. "American Minor" delves into an important subtext of White's work: the American teen. By cataloging studio archives, film stills, animation stills, scripts, and photographs, the book highlights the artist's investigations into the representation of the American teen girl. Through images culled from the artist's two-year study of an ex-urban teenager, archives of magazine covers featuring iconic blonde models, stills from his first 35 mm film, and his photographic comparative study of teens and transgenders, "American Minor" presents White's ongoing and never-before-seen studies of the American teen subject as image and idea. This book sheds new light on the artist's oeuvre within the context of his new work in film, animation, and cultural archiving.…

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 24,5 x 34,5 cm, Hardcover, 156 pages, 98 color illustrations - "I come from painting." It is not surprising that Valérie Belin (born in 1964 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, lives and works in Paris) should describe her work as coming from painting, for it would be curious indeed to call her a photographer. Although she uses a photographer's equipment, her masterful control of the technique enables her to transcend the imprint of reality and preclude reference to the world. …
