"Louise Lawler focuses her camera on high art and its spaces. Part institutional critique, part social commentary and part wandering gaze, Lawler's photographs redirect the viewer's attention from the artworks to their environs, exposing a set of supple relationships surrounding the presentation and marketing of art and its role in conferring and reflecting power. In 1984, Lawler was granted access to the homes of visionary collectors Burton and Emily Tremaine, and she has since tracked the works she photographed there as they have wended their way through museums and auction houses. This publication gathers almost all the Tremaine Pictures produced between 1984 and 2007." The catalogue for an exhibition held at BFAS Blondeau Fine Art Services, Geneva, September 13 - October 20, 2007. Photographs by Louise Lawler; essays by Andrea Miller-Keller and Stephen Melville; introduction by Marc Blondeau and Philippe Davet. 108 pages; color and b&w plates and text illustrations throughout; 9.5 x 9.5 inches.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Almost 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide and jacketed in a 53 x 37-inch foldout poster of Jim Shaw's deeply disturbing black-and-white oil painting of Ronald Reagan's distorted face (layered with smaller, ghostlike figures of American violence like Charles Manson and Rambo), this darkly riveting limited-edition artist's book contains works from five series of portraits made over the course of the artist's four-decade-long career: the 'Distorted Faces' drawings (1978-85) and paintings (1986-2007); the 'Noir' portraits of 1978; the sketches for Shaw's 'Giant Face' paintings (1992) and other assorted faces from 1993-2006. The format and print quality of this one-of-a-kind publication truly allow Shaw's legendary graphic abilities to shine--particularly in the hyperreal 'Distorted Faces' series. According to Alison M. Gingeras' catalogue essay, 'The jingle-like language of Pop has been transformed into rambling, run-on sentences that describe fragmented ideas, associative thoughts and schizophrenic images. Too strange, too perverse, too lurid, too precise: Shaw is an elusive character that defies categorization.' Edited by Marc Blondeau, Lionel Bovier, Philippe Davet. Text by Alison M. Gingeras.…

Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 24,5 x 24,5 cm, 108 pages, 40 colour & 20 b/w illustrations - This book gathers almost all the Tremaine Pictures produced between 1984 and 2007 representing works in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Tremaine. The work of Louise Lawler (born 1947 in Bronxville, lives and works in New York) has focused on the presentation and marketing of artwork. Much of this work consists of photographs of other peoples' artwork and the context in which it is viewed. Examples of Lawler's photographs include images of paintings hanging on the walls of a museum, paintings on the walls of an art collector's opulent home, artwork in the process of being installed in a gallery, and sculpture in a gallery being viewed by spectators. Along with photography, she has created conceptual and installation art. Some of her works, such as the "Book of Matches", are ephemeral and explore the passing of time, while others, such as "Helms Amendment (963)", are expressly political.…

Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon.

Paperback. Condition: New. Louise Lawler focuses her camera on high art and its spaces, from the rarefied white cube to the windowless storeroom, from the collector's luxurious bedroom to the featureless boardroom. Part institutional critique, part social commentary and part wandering gaze, Lawler's glossy photographs redirect the viewer's attention from the artworks to their environs, exposing a set of supple relationships surrounding the presentation and marketing of art and its role in conferring and reflecting power. Lawler's emphasis on context as a defining factor in the assignment of an object's value throws her own sumptuous photographs into a state of eloquent suspension. In 1984, Lawler was granted access to the homes of visionary collectors Burton and Emily Tremaine, and she has since tracked the works she photographed there as they have wended their way through museums and auction houses. With texts by Stephen Melville and Andrea Miller-Keller, this publication gathers almost all the Tremaine Pictures produced between 1984 and 2007.…
