‎Marcel Duchamp is considered the most influential artist of the 20th century. This reputation is due primarily to his introduction of the readymade, an alternative to the traditional art-making process wherein anything designated by an artist as a work of art?from a bicycle wheel mounted on a stool to a bottle rack purchased from a department store?automatically becomes art and should be treated as such. Whereas this radical notion has done much to alter the course of contemporary art, few realize that it can be traced to Duchamp?s involvement with his family, specifically, to objections expressed by his brothers to his Nude Descending a Staircase, a painting he submitted for display to the Salon des Ind pendants in 1912. Rather than accept the reservations voiced by his brothers and substitute this painting for another, Duchamp chose instead to withdraw it, whereupon he made the momentous decision that he would no longer conform to accepted conventions of taste. At the time, Duchamp?s eldest brother Jacques Villon was a cubist painter and printmaker, and his older brother Raymond Duchamp-Villon was a modernist sculptor. In this context, a readymade can be understood as an open challenge to the art his family practiced and represented, namely, the traditional genres of painting and sculpture. Although books have been written about the three Duchamp brothers, The Duchamp Family of Artists is the first study devoted to the entire family, from their maternal grandfather mile Nicolle, a painter and printmaker of some note in French art at the end of the nineteenth century, to their sister Suzanne and her husband Jean Crotti, who, in the early 1920s, established an art movement of their own called Tabu. The present exhibition and catalogue traces the career of these artists?from their earliest works to those for which they have become best known, emphasizing the phases of the artists? careers in which their paths either conjoined or intersected‎

‎Mark Manders / Zeno X Gallery : 28 years of collaboration ‎

‎Mark Manders - Zeno X Gallery, 28 Years of Collaboration offers an overview of the long-standing collaboration between artist Mark Manders ( 1968) and Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp. The publication appears on the occasion of his most recent solo exhibition at the gallery and highlights a number of important exhibitions and special projects for which Manders has been invited at home and abroad from the 1990s to the present. Since 1986, Mark Manders has been working on what he calls "self-portrait as a building". His oeuvre - consisting of installations, sculptures, works on paper and drawings - takes on the metaphor of a fictitious building, subdivided into separate rooms whose precise shape and size cannot be defined. There is no beginning and no end. Manders strives for timelessness and universality by using archetypal forms and familiar-looking materials such as clay, bronze and wood. His bronze sculptures and installations therefore appear more vulnerable than they actually are. With text contributions by Mark Manders, Frank Demaegd (Zeno X Gallery) and Marjolein Sponselee. Publication accompanying the exhibition at Zeno X Gallery, which will take place from September 3 to October 15, 2022. In-depth overview of the oeuvre of artist Mark Manders An astonishing overview of the long-term collaboration between artist Mark Manders and Zeno X Gallery ‎

‎Frank Lloyd Wright : His Living Voice‎

‎, Press at California State University, Fresno / CSUF, 1987 Hardcover, 207 pages, ENG, 235 x 160 mm, in good condition, dustjacket, ill. in b/w. ISBN 9780912201139.‎

‎Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 ? April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".‎

‎Frank P. Wartenberg : Colorpoints‎

‎, Edition Stemmle, 1999 Hardcover, 144 pages , ENG , 335 x 255 x 19 mm, dustjacket , in perfect condition, full-page photographs in colour / b/w. Large Format ISBN 9783908161714.‎

‎With an unerring sense of the contemporary in photography, wartenberg stages dreams, emotions, and moods in his pictures, underscoring the beauty of the models while allowing the viewer room for imaginative interpretation. The central focus of the Hamburg photographer's work is the human being, whom he portrays masterfully and with considerable aesthetic appeal. His spectrum ranges from reduction of the subject to essential details, to opulently staged scenes in vivid color. A particularly remarkable aspect of Wartenberg's work is his unique sense of color and special effects, which he creates through masterful use of lighting manipulated with the sensitivity of a painter. He also employs a diverse selection of technical approaches, including 35mm shots "on location", medium- or large-format work in the studio, and Polaroid 50 x 60 exposures. Only his finished photos are digitized, and he employs the process for the purposes of communication and further processing only.‎

‎Wat is de toekomst van wetenschap en van kunst? In vijftig essays beantwoorden vooraanstaande Vlaamse academici vragen over brandend actuele vragen uit de wetenschap. Hoe zit dat feitelijk met genetische manipulatie, evolutiebiologie, nanotechnologie, in steile opmars verkerende superintelligente computers? Moet je resoluut de groene kaart trekken of kies je juist kritisch de kant der klimaatsceptici? IJlen we naar een gestuurde wereldeconomie? De wereld draait almaar door, jazeker, maar staat de zon dan zelf stil? Dijt het weerzinwekkend lege heelal uit of krimpt het juist in? Wie wil niet volop genieten van vernieuwende hedendaagse muziek - maar komt niet verder dan de hits en toptiens van klassiek en pop? Heeft schilderkunst nog een toekomst; en een schilderij lezen: hoe doe je dat? Waarom reizen we overal rond, dorstig naar nieuw gebouwde kunsttempels vol voorwerpen en installaties die we per se willen begrijpen maar waar we geen weg mee kunnen? Een uniek wetenschapsboek, met de blik op de toekomst.‎

‎In oktober 2022 presenteert Kunstmuseum Den Haag een grote tentoonstelling over het leven en werk van het kunstenaarsechtpaar Anni en Josef Albers. Na hun opleiding aan het Bauhaus in Duitsland groeiden zij in de Verenigde Staten uit tot pioniers van het modernisme. Josef Albers? onuitputtelijke experiment met kleur en vorm leidt tot zijn beroemde reeks Homage to the Square, terwijl Anni Albers wordt beschouwd als een van de grondleggers van de moderne textielkunst. Aan de hand van ruim 200 werken, bestaande uit schilderijen, textiel, grafiek, sculptuur, meubels en sieraden, demonstreert Kunstmuseum Den Haag hoe een gedeelde artistieke visie en overeenkomstige inspiratiebronnen in de hand van Anni en Josef Albers resulteerden in twee geheel verschillende, maar even belangwekkende oeuvres. De tentoonstelling en publicatie komen tot stand in nauwe samenwerking met The Josef en Anni Albers Foundation. Nicholas Fox Weber, directeur van de Foundation, en conservator Willem van Roij leveren een bijdrage aan de catalogus. Daarnaast bevat de publicatie artikelen van Frouke van Dijke en Caro Verbeek, conservatoren van Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Het rijk ge llustreerde Anni + Josef Albers biedt een heldere introductie op het leven en werk van Anni en Josef Albers, en staat uitgebreid stil bij de door hen gedeelde inspiratiebronnen als muziek en precolumbiaanse cultuur.‎

‎-An indispensable compendium on designers to be discovered -A wonderful atlas of objects with a rich portfolio -In addition to being an educational instrument for students, the series will address an audience of both specialists and non-specialists, journalists or anyone wishing to collect useful information for the purpose of understanding design today Gio Ponti (Milano 1891-1979) was founder of 'Domus', Europe's most influential architecture and design magazine and artistic director of Richard-Ginori, the ceramics manufacturer. Ponti's style was dominated by an exultant sense of the aesthetic both in his objects and his numerous buildings. Published in the same style of the successful Minimum Architects series, the Minimum Designers series includes books about the major figures in the field of design, creators of objects that have become a part of our daily lives. The lamp on our desk, the chair we are sitting on, or the glasses we are wearing--all have a genius behind to be discovered. These volumes will introduce in a practical manner the personalities and the works of the world's major designers by way of a historical-critical introduction to the work and life of each individual designer. An accurate selection of the designer's most famous objects arranged in chronological order and a critique of his or her work summarizing the most significant reviews published in magazines and newspapers will complete the subject.‎
