Deborah Remington - A Life in Drawing

Deborah Remington Trust 2017 ISBN 9780692757857 Acqn 26969
Hb 17x24cm 96pp 57ills 54col 21.95

Deborah Remington (1930 2010) emerged as an Abstract Expressionist in the late 1940s and
50s while attending the California School of Fine Arts where she studied with Clyfford Still, David
Park and Elmer Bischoff. Following a sojourn in Japan to immerse herself in the study of
calligraphy, she moved to New York in 1965, joining a thriving art scene that included Chuck
Close, Brice Marden, Dorothea Rockburne and others. Drawing was a constant throughout her
career, as it shifted from gestural abstraction to the more tightly structured geometric
compositions that are her signature style. Her abstract language, with its luminous spatial
permutations, bordering on the surreal, defies easy categorization. Today, with the general public
accustomed to the disconcerting visual effects made possible by digital technology, this is an
ideal moment to reconsider her work with its myriad complexities.

Question the Wall Itself

Walker Art Center 2017 ISBN 9781935963158 Acqn 27041
Pb 19x26cm 244pp 200ills 150col 39.50

Question the Wall Itself examines ways that interior spaces and dcor can be fundamental to the
understanding of cultural identity. It showcases 23 international artists who explore the political
and social dimensions of interior architecture as well as its complicated relationship to history and
their own backgrounds. The featured artists are Jonathas de Andrade, Uri Aran, Nina Beier,
Marcel Broodthaers, Tom Burr, Alejandro Cesarco, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Theaster Gates,
Ull Hohn, Janette Laverrire, Louise Lawler, Nick Mauss, Park McArthur, Lucy McKenzie,
Shahryar Nashat, Walid Raad, Seth Siegelaub, Paul Sietsema, Florine Stettheimer, Rosemarie
Trockel, Cerith Wyn Evans, Danh Vo and Akram Zaatari.

The book and the exhibition it accompanies take as its guiding principle what Marcel Broodthaers
termed esprit dcor: a critique of ideas of nationality, globalization and the space of the
institution through constructed interior scenes. Recasting our conception of interior space and
design, the featured works exist between art, prop, and set or stage. Espousing this mise-en-
scne approach, Question the Wall Itself plugs readers into material that expands the show in the
form of book-as-exhibition. It includes an extensive photographic walk-through of the installations,
and essays by Jordan Carter, Adrienne Edwards, Isla Leaver-Yap, Fionn Meade, and Robert
Wiesenberger, as well as contributions from participating artists.

Adam McEwen - I Think I'm In Love

Aspen Art Press 2017 ISBN 9780934324786 Acqn 27266
Hb 19x26cm 240pp 100ills 80col 43.95

New Yorkbased British artist Adam McEwen (born 1965) is known for works that engage
viewers with a dark yet poignant sense of humour. Once employed to write obituaries for the
London Daily Telegraph, McEwen began producing fictional obituaries of living subjects such as
Bill Clinton, Kate Moss and Jeff Koons. His recent sculptural works include objects such as a life-
size coffin-carrier fabricated from solid graphite (Bier, 2013) and deployed airbags cast in
concrete (2015). Designed in close collaboration with the artist, this book includes a selection of
works that address the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction, and the everyday and the
obscure, and features new texts by Wayne Koestenbaum, Lane Relyea and Heidi Zuckerman,
alongside influential reprinted texts by writers Thomas Bernhard and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, as
well as a short piece by the artist himself.

Katherine Bernhardt
Canada 2017 ISBN 9780998523217 Acqn 27267
Hb 28x26cm 176pp 170col ills 35

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of Katherine Bernhardts wildly popular
pattern paintings. Spanning 2013 through 2016, it collects over 100 of her brightly coloured
canvases. Well known for paintings of super models ripped from glossy fashion magazines and,
more recently, Morrocan rug motifs, in 2013 Bernhardt dropped all direct quotation and now
paints straight from her imagination, mining her own fertile reservoir of experience, imagery and
sensation. Since then, Bernhardt has produced paintings that mix an assortment of objects
reflecting her daily experiences, from life in New York to her love of Puerto Rico, her Saint Louis
roots and family life. The objects are painted with incredible verve and tenacity, and include a
jumble of the following items on colourfully activated grounds: watermelon slices, boom boxes,
computers, pizza slices, cassette tapes, hamburgers, basketballs, old cell phones, airplanes, fruit,
sharks, water, sea turtles, cigarettes, sharpies and keyboards. Bernhardt presents a slightly
delirious feeling of New York City, the out-of-date and the up-to-the-minute all in one.

Katherine Bernhardt was born in Saint Louis in 1975 and currently lives in New York. She
received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and her BFA from the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago. Her first solo museum exhibition will be at the Contemporary Art Museum
St. Louis in January 2017, followed by The Modern, Fort Worth, in April 2017.

Hovering in the space between sculpture and painting, the work of New Yorkbased Wyatt Kahn
(born 1983) reinvigorates the legacy of minimalism.

His large-scale paintings collapse figuration and abstraction, encapsulate dynamic energy into
geometric form and embrace imperfections and raw surfaces in an entirely human way.

Midnight: The Tempest Essays

Inventory Press 2017 ISBN 9781941753149 Acqn 27869
Hb 16x24cm 304pp 105ills 65col 30

Midnight: The Tempest Essays, the second book in Molly Nesbits Pre-Occupations series,
returns the question of pragmatism to the everyday critical practice of the art historian working in
the late 20th century. These essays take their cues from the work of specific artists and writers,
beginning in the late 1960s, a time when critical commentary found itself in a political and
philosophical crisis.

Illustrated case studies on Eugne Atget, Marcel Duchamp, Jean-Luc Godard, Cindy Sherman,
Louise Lawler, Rachel Whiteread, Gabriel Orozco, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Lawrence Weiner, Nancy
Spero, Rem Koolhaas, Martha Rosler, Gerhard Richter, Matthew Barney and Richard Serra,
among others, continue the legacy of a pragmatism that has endured while debates over
postmodernism and French philosophy raged.

Kelley Walker - Black Star Press

Contemporary Art Museum St Louis 2017 ISBN 9780988997066 Acqn 27872
Hb 21x28cm 64pp 44ills 42col 55

Since the early 2000s, multimedia painter Kelley Walker (born 1969) has created work that alters
and subverts some of our most ubiquitous social signifiers.

With nods to influences ranging from Pollock to Warhol to Polke, Walkers work interrogates the
ways a single image can migrate through a number of cultural contexts and the perpetual
consumption and reuse of images. Black Star Press features work from Walkers first solo
American museum exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. A parallel to Warhols
canonical 1964 painting Race Riot, Walkers Black Star Press series comprises images of racial
unrest that have been digitally printed on canvas, silkscreened with melted white, milk and dark
chocolate, and rotated. Also included in this collection are selections from Walkers Schema
series. With essays by writer Hilton Als and curator Jeffrey Uslip, Black Star Press examines the
art of overt visual manipulation.

Inventory Press 2017 ISBN 9781941753118 Acqn 27873
Pb 20x26cm 144pp 100ills 80col 35

Pioneering conceptualist Jiro Takamatsu (193698), a major influence on the artists of the Mono-
ha movement, had a career that spanned 40-plus years, during which time his considerable
influence as an artist, theorist and teacher extended across the Japanese post-war cultural
landscape. Takamatsu sought to take art outside conventional and institutional settings,
collapsing the boundaries between art and life. His practice shifts across appearance and
materials, from drawing and sculpture to photography.

This volume catalogues recently exhibited works (at Kayne Griffin Corcoran, Los Angeles),
including the seminal Rusty Ground. Also included are archival photography of the artists
studio, historical process images and stills from a 1974 Japanese television documentary
depicting Takamatsu at work. Copiously illustrated, the book offers a timely re-evaluation of
Takamatsus practice following a significant resurgence of appreciation for the Japanese avant-
garde.

Anne Collier - Women with Cameras (Anonymous)

Karma NY - Studio Voltaire 2017 ISBN 9781942607700 Acqn 27537
Pb 26x26cm 168pp col ills 41

Women with Cameras (Anonymous) is a new artist's book by Anne Collier (born 1970), with a text
by Hilton Als (winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism), that consists of a sequence of 80
images of found amateur photographs that each depict a female subject in the act of holding a
camera or taking a photograph.

Dating from the 1970s to the early 2000s, these artefacts of the pre-digital age were collected by
Collier over a number of years from flea markets, thrift stores and online market places. Each of
these photographs has, at some point in the recent past, been discarded by its original owner.
The concept of "abandonment," of photographic images and the personal histories that they
represent, is central to Women with Cameras (Anonymous), which amplifies photographys
relationship with memory, melancholia and loss. The sequence of the images in Collier's book
follows the format of her 35mm slide projection work Women with Cameras (Anonymous) (2016),
that was recently shown to great acclaim in Tokyo, Japan, and Basel, Switzerland.

Jim Lewis - Sister a novel

Karma 2017 ISBN 9781942607441 Acqn 26988
Pb 17x24cm 208pp 19.50

First published in 1993, Sister is a story of love and violence bearing justice. In author and critic
Jim Lewis first novel, an orphaned, 17-year-old Wilson leaves his Nebraska home and heads
south to Mississippi. There, he finds work as a gardener on the estate of the Miller clana
nuclear family with two lovely daughters, Marian and Olivia, living in compliant happiness.
Wilsons surreptitious presence soon casts a quiet path of destruction through the Miller home
with very tangible results for the sisters. Twenty years after its original publication, Lewis lyrical,
atmospheric novel remains exacting in its appraisal of young love linked to loss and unnerving in
its examination of the isolated American family.

Jim Lewis (born 1963) is an American novelist. He has published three novels: Sister (published
by Graywolf in 1993), Why the Tree Loves the Ax (published by Crown in 1998) and The King Is
Dead (published by Knopf in 2003). In addition to his novels, he has written extensively on the
visual artsin Artforum, Parkett and Harpers Bazaar, among othersand has contributed to
numerous monographs, on artists such as Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, Christopher Wool and

Peter Halley - Boats Crosses Trees Figures 1977-78

Karma 2017 ISBN 9781942607625 Acqn 27665
Hb 26x31cm 144pp 81ills 79col 35

Boats Crosses Trees Figures 197778 is a survey of Peter Halleys (born 1953) early works on
paper made during his years as a graduate student at the University of New Orleans.

Already pointing clearly to the pictorial concerns that he would focus on throughout his career
these works initiate Halleys interest in the interaction of opposites, primarily abstraction and
figuration but also interior and exterior, foreground and background, light and dark, appearance
and disappearance.

Inspired by the colour and sound of New Orleans, Halley translates the physical world into bright,
geometric compositions constructed of gridded squares of colour, where, through the combination
of formal severity and openness as equal partners, seemingly simple compositions turn into
complex amalgams of various possible views of an image and its space.

The warmth of these intimate works stands in contrast to the stately severity of his shaped

The two Swedish artists are presented together for the first time in a special double-book format,

spirits in their mutual love for animals; birds in Lars Jonssons case and for Kent Ullberg it is the
larger animals on land and in the sea. In pursuit of their passion, they went against the grain, in
opposition to the prevailing art trends and developed similar approaches to their art. To show the
paintings of Lars Jonsson side-by-side Kent Ullbergs sculptures in a joint exhibition is not only a
landmark in their independent careers but also a culmination of deep respect for one another.

Regarded as one Britains most celebrated artists, Pasmore achieved acclaim as both a figurative
and abstract painter, and is most well-known for pioneering the development of abstract art in
Britain in the 1940s.

After experimenting with abstract painting in the early 1930s, Pasmore reverted to a style which
evoked a Czannesque form of realism in portraits and landscapes, for which he was highly
regarded. In a move met with criticism, and a shock to many of his contemporaries, Pasmore
abandoned visual representation by the late 1940s and began creating abstract linear forms and
collage, soon developing into relief constructions during the 1950s.
