Political and cultural history and the arts combine in this engaging account of 1790s France.

Fifteen key art historians and cultural critics redefine the scope and concerns of scholarship on visual culture--a history of representation seen as something different from a history of art.

Following the 2010 exhibition at Gagosian Gallery Beverly Hills, this magnificent set of slipcased books captures the grandness and lushness of the epic photographs of Andreas Gursky, one of the world's greatest living photographers. In these new works, Gursky demonstrates that a photographer can make or construct--rather than simply take--photographs about modern life and produce them on the scale of epic painting. Just as history painters of...

In Prussian Blue, Mexican artist Yishai Jusidman (1963) delves into the visual memory of the Holocaust and the limits of its representation.Painting photographic images of Nazi concentration camps, Jusidman re-signifies them by turning them blue--the same shade that stained the walls of gas chambers.

With texts by Norman Bryson, Dan Kagan-Kans, and Cuauhtémoc Medina, this book is published on the occasion of the exhibition of Yishai Jusidman's (born 1963) Prussian Blue series at the Museo Universitario Arte Contempor.neo (MUAC) in Mexico City and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

El género del bodegón siempre ha sido el género del que menos se ha teorizado, y cuando las academias que elaboraron los primeros informes teóricos sobre pintura empezaron a mencionarlo, lo hicieron despectivamente: la naturaleza muerta siempre estaba en el nivel más bajo de la jerarquía. Todavía se piensa en ella como un campo poco adecuado para el estudioso serio y ambicioso. Por tanto, es el género sobre el que menos se ha generado debate. ...

Robert Therrien takes ordinary objects and makes them unfamiliar, removing functionality to reveal metaphoric associations in them. Such works include his series of monumental tables and chairs, giant-sized stacks of pots, plates and bowls, and fifteen-foot fake beards hanging on their stands, among other works. Expertly photographed, with an insightful interview by art historian and theorist Norman Bryson, this is the first major book to exam...

Mark Dion (b.1961) is an American artist who, in making his art, metamorphoses into explorer, biochemist, detective and archaeologist. In his gallery installations around Europe and America since the 1980s, Dion has constructed the laboratories, experiments and museum caches of the great historical naturalists - following in their footsteps in his own adventurous, eco-inspired journeys to the tropics. His research and magical collections are p...
