Myydään taidekirjat:-MAPPLETHORPE X7by Robert Mapplethorpe, interviews by Richard FloodRobert Mapplethorpe (November 4, 1946 March 9, 1989) was an American photographer, known for his sensitive yet blunt treatment of controversial subject-matter in the large-scale, highly stylized black and white medium of photography. His work featured an array of subjects, including celebrity portraits, male and female nudes, self-portraits and still-life images of flowers. His most controversial work is that of the underground BDSM scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s of New York City. The homoeroticism of this work fuelled a national debate over the public funding of controversial artwork.Robert Mapplethorpes influence as an artist has grown steadily since his untimely death in 1989. In honor of his work, seven extraordinary contemporary artists--David Hockney, Vik Muniz, Catherine Opie, Sterling Ruby, Cindy Sherman, Hedi Slimane, and Robert Wilson--each in turn reviewed Mapplethorpes entire body of work over the course of seven years to select those that personally resonated. The result was the groundbreaking series of exhibitions documented in this book, which also features intensive interviews conducted by Richard Flood, noted curator of the New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York). This beautiful and compelling presentation offers bold new insights into Mapplethorpes genius and his lasting impact on contemporary art.Kirja on muuten hyväkuntoinen, vain kansissa on hieman sanomistaHinta: 12,--LIFE IN DEATH: Rebecca Louise LawFew pieces elicit such immediate joy as the artworks created by Rebecca Louise Law.
