Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. BREAKING THE MOULD British Art of the 1980s and 1990s The Weltkunst Collection. Cathgerine Marshall (Editor) Essays by Richard Cork and Penelope Curtis Foreword by Declan McGonagle. Lund Humphries Publishers / Irish Museum of Modern Art. 1997 First Edition ISBN 0853317445 128pp Illustrated hardback This copy is in FINE condition in a FINE unclipped dustwrapper. British sculpture underwent a remarkable transition in the last decades of the 20th century. The Weltkunst Collection comprises important works by 26 of the artists responsible for this transition. Many of them have gained an international reputation and sometimes notoriety in a way never achieved by their predecesors. This book, the first published of that collection, catalogues drawings and prints as well as sculpture, installation and media works. Analysis of the significance of the artists and their works is complemented by extracts from interviews with the artists themselves. The collection's location at the Irish Museum of Modern Art provides a perfect context from which to examine this unique "British" collection. The book is a guide to contemporary British sculpture, which constantly challenges the limits of visual art and questions accepted ideas of what sculpture can be. Ref T1.

Condition: Sehr gut. 78 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Since 1990 the highly acclaimed photographer Nicholas Sinclair has been photographing the major figures in contemporary British art. The result is a compelling collection of portraits of artists, many of whom are captured in their studios surrounded by their work and materials. The collection is broad, encompassing established names such as Frank Auerbach and Anthony Caro through to the younger generation of artists represented by the likes of Jake and Dinos Chapman and Fiona Rae. While each photograph is highly individual, the collection as a whole is bound by Nicholas Sinclair's skill in capturing the character of his sitters.

168 p. : ill. ; 28 cm. (hbk.) Fine Published in association with Crocker Art Museum. Includes bibliographical references. Director's Foreword / Lial Jones -- Acknowledgements / William Breazeale -- Preface / William Breazeale -- Introduction / William Breazeale -- Ideals and Masters: the Nude in Italy, 1530-1800 / William Breazeale -- International Currents: the Nude in the Low Countries, 1550-1750 / Susan Anderson -- Academie, academie, etude: Figural Drawing in France, 1650-1885 / Christine Giviskos -- The Nude in German Art, ca. 1490-1830 / Christian E. Andersson. "For centuries the nude body was the highest expression of human aspiration. The nude was a vehicle to express many meanings, be they religious, classical, or literary. The language of the Nude acknowledges the weighty significance of the nude in our world and demonstrates how art has responded to its challenges through the ages and throughout Europe." "Divided into four sections, the catalogue examines the major advances in drawing practice: the influence of Michelangelo and Raphael in the Renaissance; the dialogue between northern and southern influence in seventeenth-century Netherlands; the earlier formation and ultimate dominance of the Academie in eighteenth-century France; and the refined academic method applied to native subjects in nineteenth-century Germany. The book includes many important and lesser known works such as Giuseppe Cades's Rinaldo and Armida; Peter Paul Rubens's drawing of a figure after Michelangelo; Boucher's Birth of Venus; and Albrecht Durer's Female Nude with a Staff." "Heroes, gods, goddesses, and other religious figures are made sublime by being depicted in the nude. This Crocker collection does justice to such a noble subject."--BOOK JACKET.
