He returned to painting in 1997 (followin...

Twenty years later, "Yardwork "features recent paintings and sculpture completed by Gary Hume in his upstate New York studio. The pictures explore familiar themes in H...

With this revised and expanded edition, Hickey is back to fan the flames. More manifesto than polite discuss...

As he says, there exist numerous books about individual female artists, but hardly a one that presents women in multiple--in their full, rich diversity. Dedicated to the late museum director Marcia Tucker, the book journeys across the planet to engage with artists from the late Joan Mitchell, to Vija...

Many of today's emerging artists are using portraiture or self-portraiture to explore complex issues of identity. At the same time, these artists are also testing the boundaries of the genre of figurative art. Others are finding success through a renewed attention to classical training in representational art. Artists who regularly create portraits on commission are also experiencing a higher level of interest in their work. The Outwin Boochev...
