Paperback. Condition: Fine. As one of the leading critical voices on art of the postwar years, polymath Lawrence Gowing (19181991) combined a passion for close visual involvement with formidable literary skills. Edited by art historian Sarah Whitfield, four decades of Gowings writing are brought together for the first time in this volume, covering subjects from the Old Masters to Francis Bacon and Howard Hodgkin. Having first gained success as a painter, Gowing's 1952 monograph on Vermeer brought him early recognition as a writer with the ability to combine aesthetic experience with a meticulous historical perspective. Gowings foremost commitment was to the pioneering painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, notably Paul Cezanne and Henri Matisse. The exhibitions he curated at the Tate and Museum of Modern Art famously helped to mould and reshape public perceptions. Characterised by a desire to instruct and encourage, his writing reflects a highly successful career as a curator and teacher.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For its 34th Curve commission (2021), the Barbican presents the first major London solo exhibition by Mumbai-based artist Shilpa Gupta, whose celebrated practice explores physical and ideological boundaries and how, as individuals, we come to feel a sense of isolation or belonging. Gupta presents and builds on her acclaimed project For, In Your Tongue, I Cannot Fit (201718), an experiential sound installation of 100 microphones suspended above 100 metal spikes, each piercing a page inscribed with a fragmented verse of poetry by a writer who has been imprisoned for their work, writings or beliefs. Spanning the eighth to the 21st centuries, the soundscape alternates between languages, each microphone uttering verses of poetry, echoed by its 99 counterparts. Giving a voice to those who have been silenced, Gupta's haunting installation highlights the fragility of personal expression while raising urgent questions of censorship and resistance. Gupta also presents new drawings and sculptures that reflect on issues of confinement and the right to free expression. The book includes a loose-insert postcard featuring a poem in Urdu and English by the revolutionary Pakistani poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Roelof Louw (19362017) created sculpture from wooden slats, cast-iron wedges, sand-blasted and painted scaffolding poles, rope and neon. He made installations using industrial rubber bands, rolled-up lead sheets, or using tape recorders and the movements of viewers around a space. His work addresses itself to our bodies and minds, implicating them in its realisation and its sites, which might be streets, parks, woods or galleries. In Soul City (Pyramid of Oranges) (1967), the work for which he is best known, the fit of an orange to a hand and the experience of eating the fruit are crucial aspects, as is the action of destroying the piece in the process. Prescient in anticipating the participatory and interactive art of the present, Louw's work remained resolutely defined as sculpture, at the artist's insistence. This was even so as sculpture became conceptual, 'dematerialised', or located in 'the expanded field', and while his art was itself a part of these shifts. Born in South Africa, Louw moved to London in 1961. Practicing in London, New York and Cape Town, Louw participated in some of the most important episodes in sculpture history of the twentieth century. As well as being the first authoritative overview of Louw's oeuvre, this book presents a new perspective on a familiar and much written about era in art. SELLING POINTS: .

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "As an art critic, (Hickey) doesn't do what most people want from art criticism. He doesn't provide his readers with a neat intellectual framework through which to view everything they see, like a Clement Greenberg or a Michael Fried, and he doesn't really do beautiful description either. Instead, Hickey gives you intricately structured argument and gorgeous prose . Reading him you want to forget that the art market is a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos between Ukrainian oligarchs and Qatari princesses. You want to be the thing you advocate; you want to ride the wave, mount the dais, and speak the truth." Los Angeles Review of Books Arguably one of the most astute critics working today, Dave Hickey's multi-decade career as a leading cultural commentator is characterised by his blend of high and mass culture and his fervent critique of the celebrity-driven culture of the 21st-century art world. Following his 2012 announcement of self-imposed exile from art criticism, this new body of essays once again questions and challenges the cultural status quo. With his trademark humour, Hickey has declared that: 'I miss being an elitist and not having to talk to idiots' in a field that, he believes, is defined by the commoditisation of art and the self-referential tendencies of criticism itself. This new body of shorter essays by the author of Air Guitar: Essays on Art & Democracy and The Invisible Dragon: Four Essays on Beauty looks at more contemporary phenomena: super-collectors, the trope of the biennale and the loss of looking. AUTHOR: Dave Hickey (19382021) was arguably one of the most astute art critics of recent times. His multi-decade career as a leading cultural commentator earned him the nickname 'the enfant terrible of art criticism'. He wrote for major publications in the United States, from Rolling Stone to Art in America and the New York Times, as well as for frieze, Parkett and the London Review of Books in Europe. His book Air Guitar: Essays on Art and Democracy was a memoir of 'love songs for people who live in a democracy'. Hickey was awarded a MacArthur 'genius grant' in 2001. SELLING POINTS: . Essays by one of the most astute art critics of the past 50 years, on subjects such as the art biennale, academia, formalism, artistic quality and the power of influence . Dave Hickey rails against the absurdities of the art world in a book that is just as relevant today as it was on publication 10 years ago . A writer with a cult following, Hickey died in 2021 15 colour illustrations Dave Hickey examines contemporary art phenomena, from super-collectors to the trope of the biennale, in essays from 1999 to 2013.
