54Th Carnegie International
Cuauhtemoc Medina, Jean-Pierre Mercier, ...

Carnegie Museum of Art, 2004

When Andrew Carnegie founded the Carnegie Museum of Art, his goal was to introduce the people of Pittsburgh to paintings by modern American and European artists.

First held in 1896, the exhibition is the longest running survey of recent art in North America. What was modern then is contemporary ...
  
  











  



  
Collage: The Unmonumental Picture
Richard Flood, Massimilliano Gioni, ...

Merrell, 2008

The simplicity of collage, together with its strong graphic presence, lent the medium a sense of revolutionary possibility when it was first adopted by avant-garde artists almost 100 years ago. During the twentieth century collage gradually became identified with such artistic practices as Cubism, Dada and Surrealism, and today it has gained new momentum as an energetic art form with a strong political dimension. This stunning book explores the ...
  
  











  



  
Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton1 review
Laura Hoptman

Phaidon Press Inc., 2008

A conceptualist? Really?
The catalogue for the current Elizabeth Peyton mid-career show at the New Museum in NYC, this book's main asset is the quality of the reproductions. From the first paintings in the early nineties (of friends, rockers and English royalties) to the latest portraits of celebrities (her dealer Gavin Brown, Matthew Barney...)the illustrated works give a fair idea of the artist's evolution, qualities ...
  
  











  



  
Drawing Now: Eight Propositions6 reviews
Kai Althoff, Laura Hoptman, ...

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2002

Provocative Survey
The catalogue that accompanies the Drawing Now exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art is just as well thought and carefully crafted. The show is divided into eight themes that bring a solid foundation to a wide scope of works. Each section in the catalogue begins with an insightful essay further developing the rich ideas behind the show. The beautiful illustrations and large format of the ...
  
  











  



  
Unmonumental1 review
Laura Hoptman; Richard Flood; Massimiliano Gioni; Trevor Smith

Phaidon Press Inc., 2007

A Monumental Book
The book came to me in perfect condition and the content, well, anyone interested in the most current and contemporary sculpture today should have this book. Some of the artists will be familiar, some not, but all are doing quality work edging along the boundaries of what we call sculpture today.

Yayoi Kusama (Contemporary Artists)2 reviews
Laura Hoptman

Phaidon Press, 2000

Beautiful
This book is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't know many of the artist's works before I bought this book - and it gave me a good understanding of her life and work. Chock full of beautiful colour photos. It's cool too because so many quality art books cost a fortune, but since this one is a softcover it's reasonably priced. As you can tell, I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Mark Manders: Singing Sailors: Works by Mark Manders
Laura Hoptman, Loretta Yarlow, ...

Art Gallery of York University, 2002

At once a personal narrative and an encyclopedic collection of material, Dutch artist Mark Manders' "Self-Portrait" began its life as a building in 1986. Since then, Manders has exhibited fragments of the project, an array of created and found objects, furniture, sculpture, and drawings, keeping it in constant flux, changing with each manifestation.

Primary Documents: A Sourcebook for Eastern and Central European Art since the 1950s

The MIT Press, 2002

Although a number of books have told the story of modern and contemporary art in Eastern and Central Europe, missing from these accounts have been the sources themselves. This book, the result of years of research by an international team of artists, curators, editors, translators, and scholars working with the Museum of Modern Art, presents primary documents drawn from the artistic archives of Eastern and Central Europe during the second half ...
