Tight, clean copy. Horror in art. *** "As the millennium draws to a close, a Gothic spirit once again penetrates much of today's art and culture. Over the past decade, American and European artists have grown increasingly fascinated with the dark and uncanny side of the human psyche--the theatrical and grotesque, the violent and destructive. Taking its starting point and title from the Gothic novel, this book investigates the full-blown revival of a Gothic sensibility in contemporary art; in American and British fiction labeled the 'New Gothic'; in film with its long tradition of horror; and in video, music, fashion, design, and underground culture. Gothic accompanies an exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, of twenty-three artists who produce horror as well as amazement through often ugly, fragmented, and contorted forms. Some employ a detached and reductive formal language to transmute images of excessive and gruesome violence, nevertheless achieving an equally disconcerting impact. The old Gothic themes of the fantastic and pathological are infused with new potency as they address concerns about the body, disease, voyeurism, and power. Essays by John Gianvito, Christoph Grunenberg, James Hannaham, Patrick McGrath, Joyce Carol Oates, Shawn Rosenheim, Csaba Toth, and Anne Williams, and a short story by Dennis Cooper, explore the Gothic in history and in contemporary art and culture.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. GRUNENBERG, Christoph [edited by] [239] pp. Tate Publishing 2007 11 3/8" x 9 5/8" Summer of Love will be the first definitive guide to the Art of the Psychedelic era. Richly illustrated, the book presents a unique range of images of works of art, alongside a wealth of contextual material and a number of informative, authoritative yet accessible essays. Covering a wide range of issues, they reflect the pervasive penetration of the art and culture of the 1960s by the aesthetics of psychedelia. At the same time, the catalogue will provide the historical context in which the art was created, an era marked by political protest, the counterculture, recreational drug use, student revolution and sexual liberation. The international list of contributors will include leading academics, cultural theorists, and critics from the worlds of art, film and rock music. The publication's design will mirror the colourful and experimental spirit of the times. Including works from the United States, the UK, Europe and beyond, the book is targeted at an international audience and will serve as a much needed critical re-evaluation of this era in art and cultural history. Accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Liverpool, Summer 2005. *diagonal crease to upper right corner*.
