Jasper Johns

Jasper Johns

The book not only displays the artist's tremendous catalogue of artworks but also discusses both his influence within the art of the 1960s and later, and his personal and artistic relationships with other major artists from the period.

Jasper Johns: An Allegory of Painting, 1955-1965

Jasper Johns is one of the most significant figures in the history of postwar art. His work from 1955 to 1965 was pivotal, exercising an enormous impact on the subsequent development of pop, minimalism, and conceptual art in the United States and Europe.

Robert Rauschenberg

Rauschenberg/Art and Life

The book shows the astonishing dexterity and range of Rauschenberg's art even as an emerging artist, the creation of his now famous combines, his eagerness to bridge art and technology, the establishment of the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange, and his final collaborative work: the Lotus Series with Universal Limited Art Editions.

Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg challenged the prevailing ideologies and techniques of the art world. He redefined what materials were suitable for art, boldly rebelling against the predominant abstract expressionism of the time. This insightful analysis into Rauschenberg's work and life examines his bravery in pushing beyond technical and aesthetic frontiers as well as his influential dissemination of photography, film, and television, which altered the genre of traditional painting.

Robert Rauschenberg: Breaking Boundaries

To illuminate the meaning of Rauschenberg's art and the reasons behind his artistic choices, this book focuses closely on a small selection of the artist's projects. Like Rauschenberg's own work, the book ranges across a variety of disciplines..

This landmark volume tells the story of Jean-Michel Basquiat from the intimate perspective of his family, intertwining his artistic endeavors with his personal life, influences, and the times in which he lived, and features work from the Estate's largely unseen and significant collection of paintings, drawings, sketches, and ephemera.

Jean-Michel Basquiat: Art and Objecthood

Basquiat used objects and media from his environs to proliferate messages of social justice and change. Featuring a breadth of works that the artist made using unconventional painted supports and found-object sculptures, this publication will provide an innovative, in-depth look into the artist's sculptural practice. In addition to painting and drawing on items within his domestic spaces-refrigerators, chairs, and cabinets-Basquiat also left his mark on items he encountered on the street-discarded windows and doors, mirrors, wood boards, and subway tiles.
