Wiley-Interscience
, 1990
This timely work reviews the best current thinking on practicing sustainable agriculture, with contributions from agricultural, biological, environmental and social scientists. The emphasis is on temperate zones, with many of the contributions addressing U.S. agriculture. However, the principles explored here have application in any climatic or geographical region.

Marlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own Grave

D.A.P./Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
, 2008
In her expressionistic drawings and paintings of the last three decades, acclaimed South African artist Marlene Dumas has focused on the human figure, probing themes of love, desire, despair and confusion in order to slyly critique social and political attitudes toward women, children, people of color and others who have historically been victimized. From her evocative portraits, based on photographs of friends and family as well as figures ...
Afterimage: Drawing Through Process
Cornelia H. Butler
The MIT Press
, 1999
The term "process art" describes a moment of radical, aformal experimentation in postwar American sculpture. Through the medium of drawing, Afterimage revisits process art in terms of the artists who defined the movement and suggests a transitional moment when many of its practitioners anticipated the feminist and postminimalist art of the 1970s. Nancy Grossman's use of language, for example, suggests a kind of material abstraction, and Nancy ...

Good Book
I bought this book as a gift for my girlfriend's birthday and I was shocked by the size of the book. There are tons of images in the book, most seem to span his career from pencil drawings of his wife to the more familiar works like the one on the cover (which take up most of the works in the book, thank goodness.) The images are laid out with great focus, my only complaint is that some of the ...
Cotton Puffs, Q-tips(r), Smoke and Mirrors: The Drawings of Ed Ruscha
Margit Rowell
, Cornelia H. Butler
Whitney Museum
, 2004
In a 1976 drawing by Ed Ruscha, the word "Promise"--spelled out in ribbon-like script--is suspended at an oblique angle against a delicate gray background and bathed in a gauzy white light. Somehow, this image perfectly sums up the hopeful feeling that success is right around the corner. Ruscha's ability to give concrete form to the inner life of words and images from popular culture has made him a rare breed of artist---a critic's ...

WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution
The MIT Press
, 2007
There had never been art like the art produced by women artists in the 1970s--and there has never been a book with the ambition and scope of this one about that groundbreaking era. WACK! documents and illustrates the impact of the feminist revolution on art made between 1965 and 1980, featuring pioneering and influential works by artists who came of age during that period--Chantal Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Valie Export, ...

Probably best overview in print of this major artist
I stumbled onto Rodney Graham's retrospective show at MOCA in LA four years ago, and it changed my life a little bit. Graham's work is intellectually powerful; he is one example of an artist that will continually shed light on his own work through explanatory notes. This book covers Graham's earliest exhibited works and plows through steadily to about 2004. Attention given to the formative ...
Eric Wesley

Eric Wesley
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
, 2006
West Coast artist Eric Wesley was born in 1973 in Los Angeles. His work, which can take the form of sculpture, painting, drawing, architectural model or public artwork proposal, often uses decrepit materials and conveys a humorous take on the world and his own identity within it. For the 2004 Whitney Biennial, he created scale sets for a faux reality show; his 2000 kinetic sculpture "Kicking Ass" was a mechanized donkey that kicked holes in the ...

As its conceptual foundation, Flight Patterns rethinks topographical practices of photography since the 1970s, looking at current manifestations of the ...
Politics of Bacteria Docile Bodies

Ram Pubns & Dist
, 1998
Arguably one of the most important American photographers of the postwar generation, California-born Lewis Baltz is an artist whose work has always synthesized broad cultural issues. Known for his topographic, landscape-based photographs, Baltz breaks with the serial format in monumental color works made between 1991 and 1995. Techniques and formal cues from other visual media such as videos, film, and the surveillance camera are imported in ...
