books by Hatje Cantz Publishers     books:       Pink1 review Karl Schawelka Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006 Pink: The Exposed Color in Contemporary Art and Culture I thought "Pink" to be a wonderful mixture of artistic styles. It captures emotions of humor, politics, sex, sorrow, awakening, happiness,and more. Often thought of as a kitchy color, you will find so much more to the color and word "Pink" by purchasing this book.             Willem De Kooning: Paintings 1960-19803 reviews Ralph Ubl, Klaus Kertess, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 de Kooning paintings 1960-1980 Book is in English and German.Good photographs with some works I had not seen before.Also a couple pictures of de Koonings studio inside and out.Includes an interview by Harold Rosenberg.Loved it, of course I am De Koonings biggest fan!             Peter Bialobrzeski: Neon Tigers (Hatje Cantz)2 reviews Florian Hanig, Christof Ribbat Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2004 Amazing Images These shots are from an alternate reality, maybe the one where Blade Runner was filmed. They are pictures of ultra-modern, ultra-crowded Asian cities, some including a slice of pre-modern life. The subject matter alone is a bit overwhelming. But the style is what puts it over the top. About 3/5 of the pictures were shot at night with long exposure. This creates eerie skies and unnatural, ...             Shrinking Cities: Volume 2 Will Alsop, Jorg Dettmar, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006 Shrinking cities have pushed urban design and classical city planning to their limits. The new challenges they pose require new approaches, joining the "hard" tools of construction with the "soft" tools of political, social, cultural and communications interventions. Shrinking Cities: Volume 2: Interventions provides an international overview of experimental concepts for taking action in shrinking cities, cataloguing tools from the fields of ...             Paul Klee: Hand Puppets (Emanating)2 reviews Christine Hopfengart, Osamu Okuda, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006 Totally amazing unseen puppet photos and info! I just got this newly published book and it is simply wonderful. I have a huge puppet book library and having just skimmed through it, I am thrilled to see all photos/puppets are ones I've never seen anywhere else. The puppets of Klee are an absolute inspiration, and I am so glad there is a new book that introduces them to a new generation. The only other book about these puppets is in the ...             Hiroshi Sugimoto3 reviews Kerry Brougher, David Elliott Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 Beautiful, thought-provoking and utterly magical I recently discovered Sugimoto's pictures browsing the web. This book is beautifully produced and plate after plate demands not only an aesthetic response from the viewer but also a decidedly intellectual and conceptual one (maybe that's the same thing!). It's rare to find art that is simultaneously so beautiful and so profound.             Emil Nolde: Unpainted Pictures6 reviews Jolanthe Nolde, Manfred Reuther, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2001 Unpainted Pictures Nolde, though sympathetic to the Nazi Party, was included among the artists who were exhibited in the "Degenerate Art Show". He was also banned from painting throughout the war which he spent in the north German town of Seebüll. Being the artist he was he was unable to halt the creative process and began to paint watercolor pictures on small torn sheets of paper - these paintings, the "unpainted ...             Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art From The Sigg Collection4 reviews Feng Boyi, Christoph Heinrich, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 overview of the diversity of styles and subjects of contemporary Chinese art The more than 200 items (out of a total of 1200) from the collection of Uli Sigg, Switzerland's former ambassador to China, make an eclectic selection which convincingly demonstrates that Chinese art is now truly modern and contemporary; although many international art buyers have been aware of this for some time. Chinese art is no longer statist or propagandistic; although remnants of this can ...             Gregory Crewdson6 reviews Martin Hochleitner, Urs Stahel Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 A timely retrospective from one of the most referenced visual artists Having spoken several times with the artist Gregory Crewdson, I'm comfortable in saying that a retrospective of his art is an insight only into his (r)evolutionary techniques and dream narratives. The man himself is a slightly bemused, curious artist with an assured but uncaring knowledge of his impact. A recent panel at Princeton, pitted Gregory against motion pictures' reigning dream narrative ...             Mark Rothko17 reviews Jeffrey Weiss, Marjorie B. Cohn, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2001 a beautiful exhibition This is the catalogue for a beautiful exhibition that was held at the Beyeler Foundation. Many of the works reproduced are hidden in private collections (e.g. a huge 1958 canvas in black, white and red) and it is great to be able to admire them. Nothing replaces the live experience of being engulfed in a Rothko, standing a short distance from the canvas itself, but this book is undoubtedly a ...             Chichu Art Museum: Tadao Ando Builds For Claude Monet, Walter De Maria And James Turrell, The Tadao Ando, Yuji Akimoto, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 On the island of Naoshima off the picturesque coast of western Japan, Japanese architect Tadao Ando has built a spectacular structure comprised of basic geometric forms. Situated on cliffs overlooking the straits of Seto-Naikai, the building provides a congenial setting for the presentation of numerous undisputed masterpieces of artistic reduction, including several of Claude Monet's incomparable Water Lilies, monumental sculptures by Walter de ...             Henri Matisse: Figure Color Space Stefan Grohe, Peter Kropmanns, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006 No other subject inspired Henri Matisse with such passion throughout his career as the female figure in interior settings. This is the most comprehensive publication to cover the topic of women in the work of the great regenerator of European painting, and in so doing, it covers the full spectrum of Matisse's creative evolution, from the small, somber, early pictures to the masterly compositions of his Fauvist phase, the intimate pictorial ...             Christian Boltanski4 reviews Christian Boltanski Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2007 Beautifuly haunting book, for a beautifuly haunting artist I have extensively researched Christian Boltanski and would highly recommend this wonderful book. It reads like an exhibition. Five stars *****             Ana Mendieta: Earth Body2 reviews Olga Viso Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2004 Comprehensive study of the contemporary artist Ana Mendieta was only in her early 40s when she died in 1985. Born in Havana, Cuba, she came to the U. S. as a political refugee with her family when she was 12. Beginning in her artistic training at the U. of Iowa, she incorporated feminist and multicultural leanings into the conceptual art, land art, photography, and performance art she practiced with equal intensity and innovation. No matter ...             Agnes Martin: The Nineties and Beyond1 review Agnes Martin, Edward Hirsch, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2002 -------------- This is a fine collection of the later work of Agnes Martin. Her work is a great example of how an action becomes something other. No documentation will ever suffice for seeing her work in person, but as these things go this book captures some of her subtleties. I turn to this book at times when I need to be reminded that we can make tender references to perfection.             Nikki S. Lee: Parts RoseLee Goldberg Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006 Korean-born, New York-based conceptual artist Nikki S. Lee once hoped to be an actress. Now she examines the construction and interpretation of identity in works that combine performance and photography. Her acclaimed Projects document her transformation (sometimes drastic) and assimilation into a wide range of subcultures and social and ethnic groups--from sophisticated ladies of the finest Parisian circles to white trash in American trailer ...             Emil Nolde: Eye Contact Manfred Reuther, Emil Nolde Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 Emil Nolde is regarded as one of the most noteworthy Expressionist painters. Portraits play a prominent role in the artist's oeuvre, particularly those of his early creative period. During those years in which Nolde's art developed to maturity, his painting was enriched by an innovative power that inspired later artists well into the twentieth century. Some 60 of the unparalleled portraits completed by Emil Nolde between 1903 and 1918 are ...             Africa Remix: Contemporary Art of a Continent Jean Loup Amselle, Charlotte Boudon, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2005 Description: Africa Remix is one of the only comprehensive publications on young contemporary art of the last decade in and from Africa. It features more than 80 artists from nearly 30 countries, well representing the geographic diversity of Africa--from Egypt and Morocco to South Africa. Both well-known artists, who are already established in the international scene, as well as new, emerging talents are included. In an attempt to do justice to ...             Mona Hatoum2 reviews Volker Adolphs, Christoph Heinrich, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2004 Smart and good-looking This is a good introduction to the art of Mona Hatoum. The book has several well written texts, an interesting interview, and very good photos. Of course, the kind of work Hatoum makes does not lend itself easily to photography, and inevitably some of the impact is lost (but then again, this could be said for any book on art...). Oh, and it is a very good-looking book.             Atlas of Shrinking Cities1 review Elke Beyer, Anke Hagemann, ... Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006 extraordinary I have not looked through the book completely, or deeply, but I can very assuredly say the atlas is extremely well considered and innovatively presented.
