Broken Screen: Expanding The Image, Breaking The Narrative
Doug Aitken

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2005

Expanding the conversation
As a film editor, this book is particularly amazing to me. I see it as the textbook I couldn't find in school. It really should be in the curriculum for anyone interested in film, art and music...pretty much everyone. Each interview comes across as what I imagine ...
  
  











  



  
In the Making
Linda Weintraub

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003

An excellent tool, one to buy
This book was reccomended by tutors as one of three books to buy at the start of our Fine Art degree course. I sort of chuckled, slightly bemused when I skipped through it for the first time, but I am now in the middle of my second year and I find it more and more ...
  
  











  



  
Thomas Ruff: 1979 to the Present
Per Boym, Valeria Liebermann

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003

All fields of contemporary Western life are captured by the lens of Thomas Ruff's large-format camera: petit bourgeois homes in the provinces and suburbs; modernist and current architectural structures; the startlingly alien faces of fellow human beings; the technologically sophisticated observation of outer space; studies of local neighborhoods ...
  
  











  



  
The Destruction of Penn Station

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2001

It was like watching someone die day by day
I remember as a kid in the mid-70s taking the train to NYC and having to endure the commuter's nightmare known as "modern" Penn Station. In the late 80s, I learned what once was on the site of the current MSG/Penn Station monstrosity and became appalled that people ...

Jeff Koons: Pictures 1980-2002
Jeff Koons

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003

Succinct Overview
This volume is too slender though it's beautifully made and the color reproductions are excellent. The book is divided chronologically by series (e.g. Equilibrium, Banality, Easyfun, etc.). There is a brief introduction by Thomas Kellein followed by Jeff Koons' ...
  
  











  



  
William Klein: Paris + Klein
Lane Anthony

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003

Buy it!
At the time of this writing, it's his only work in print. A unique --- and underdiscussed --- voice in photography. A welcome alternative to the f/64 aesthetic.
  
  











  



  
Zak Smith: Pictures Of Girls
Zak Smith

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2005

Essential work by the young American painter
I first saw work by Zak Smith when in New York for the Whitney Biennial in 2004. His illustrations for Gravity's Rainbow were included in the show, and I was stunned not only by the scope of the project but also by the remarkable amount of attention and care that he ...
  
  











  



  
Rembrandt's Nose: Of Flesh and Spirit in the Master's Portraits
Michael Taylor, Rembrandt

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2007

spiritus lenis
I am looking at a digital reproduction of the Rembrandt I know best. I've been close to it at The Frick. It is one from his later, impoverished years. His expression unyielding despite soft, unsettled strokes. Many of the painter's portraits and self-portraits present ...
  
  











  



  
Arrivals & Departures: The Airport Pictures of Garry Winogrand

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2004

Interesting Collection of the Comings and Goings of People
It's just wonderful to see the comings and goings of ordinary people candidly portrayed by a photographer as skilled as Garry Winogrand. The photograghs date from the 1950s to the 1980s with most from the 1970s and 1980s. My how airports and styles have changed. ...
  
  











  



  
Arturo Herrera: You Go First
Arturo Herrera

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2004

Arturo Herrera: You Go First, Amazing Collage Art.
I came across Arturo Herrera's work while in Powell's Books on a trip to Portland. I should have bought "You Go First" then and there, because his images had burned into my retina and haunted me until I had the book in my hands again. Herrera's work is innovative and ...

Annotated Catalogue Raisonné of the Books by Martin Kippenberger 1977-1997
Diedrich Diederichsen, Alex Katz, ...

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003

Definitive catalog of Kippenberger's artist's books.
For a few important twentieth century artists, books were a crucial aspect of their work: Marcel Duchamp, Ed Ruscha, and certainly Martin Kippenberger, who managed to produce a staggering variety of books, catalogs and related publications (149 titles are listed here) ...
  
  











  



  
Louise Bourgeois: La Famille

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2006

The fear of being born into the world an unwanted girl; the fear of becoming a pawn in the lives of her parents; the fear of failing as a wife, mother and artist: Over the course of her 70 years as an artist, Louise Bourgeois, born in 1911 in Paris, has always placed the psychology of family at the center of her work. Bourgeois left her homeland ...
  
  











  



  
New Burlesque

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2004

Beautiful... but brief
The images in this small book are beautiful photographs of modern burlesque dancers, but I was really hoping for more information than is provided in the very very brief section at the back of the book. Could've done better...
