Roni Horn - 82 Postcards

Hauser & Wirth 2017 ISBN 9783952446164 Acqn 27426
Pb 13x18cm 172pp 1col ills 35

Much of Roni Horns artistic practice explores the nuanced relationship between text and image in
visual culture. In her methodically rigorous and expertly nuanced artists book, 82 Postcards,
Horn takes the titular media and classifies its photographs, designs and text in a unique system of
symbols and visual codes. Her translation of these mementosmostly from North America, but
some farther afieldlay bare the interplay of their various parts, questioning how pieces of
content come together to form the basis of complex cultural phenomena like tourist attractions,
popular science and national identity.

Lygia Pape
Hauser & Wirth 2017 ISBN 9783952446133 Acqn 27427
Hb 24x32cm 116pp 85ills 50col 35

A founding member of Brazils Neo-Concrete movement, Lygia Pape (19272004) valued art that
favoured the primacy of the viewer and his or her sensorial experience. Papes geometric
abstractions explored rich territory via the media of sculpture, drawing, engraving, filmmaking and
installation.

This publication, which accompanied an exhibition held at Hauser & Wirth London from
September to November 2016, brings together a group of works spanning from 1955 to 2001.
The precise incised lines of Papes Tecelares woodcut prints and drawings of the 1950s and
1960s marry pure geometry with organic patterns. Her subsequent Ttia installations (begun in
the late 1970s and continued throughout her career) present captivating explorations of
geometry, space and materiality. Ttia n.7, consisting of two pyramids of blue pigment in a
blacked-out room lit with blue light from above, foregrounds a questioning of the purity of art and
the boundary between colour, light and material. The books deep blue cover as well as its
translucent blue pages, bound-in throughout, pay homage to this work.

Immersive installation views and focused detail shots complement the perceptive and thoughtful
texts by Briony Fer and Daniel Birnbaum, two ardent followers of Papes work. Birnbaum, having
featured Papes Ttia 1, C as the opening piece in the 53rd Venice Biennale, speaks to the
artworks heritage and legacy. Fer unpacks Papes vision of abstraction, mining her profound
sensitivity to the full physical and material experience of printmaking, ultimately elucidating
Papes deeply human understanding and unique reframing of geometry and abstraction.

Djordje Ozbolt - Questions Of Faith

Hauser & Wirth 2017 ISBN 9783952446195 Acqn 27428
Hb 22x31cm 184pp 140ills 120col 35

This title highlights the artists recent work since late 2013, reproducing sculpture, painting and
drawing, as well as sketchbook details and views from the artists studio.

Belgrade-born, London-based artist Djordje Ozbolt (b. 1967) is one of the best contemporary
examples of an uninhibited approach to the venerable genre of painting and sculpture. Infused
with wit and humour (of all varieties: satire, slapstick, black), Ozbolts work takes on themes of
history, politics and travel, among others. An essay from Oliver Basciano, International Editor
across ArtReview and ArtReview Asia magazines, explores themes of incongruity, the natural
world and displacement, and places Ozbolt in a wider context of visual culture and art history.
