Alan Charlton - Grey Paintings

Annely Juda Fine Art 2018 ISBN 9781904621867 Acqn 29081
Hb 30x24cm 140pp 90ills 40col £30
Alan Charlton has, since the early 1970's, painted purely grey, abstract paintings. The choice of
grey paint stems from Charlton's desire to use a "standard, industrial colour," linking to the
industrial landscape of his childhood in Sheffield, but also the emotive qualities of the colour.
Grey evokes industry, modernity, melancholy, depression but equally tranquillity, calm and the
absence of any colour at all. Unwavering from this rigorous format has allowed Charlton to
indefatigably explore the formal qualities of the canvas and to remain free of representation,
influence or interpretation.

Irene Kopelman - Indexing Water (notes On Representation Vol. 9)

ROMA Publications 2018 ISBN 9789492811332 Acqn 29091
Pb 21x28cm 68pp col ills £24
This ninth volume in Irene Kopelman's 'Notes on Representation' series is dedicated to Dr Marcel
Wernand, a physical oceanographer whose research deals with the Forel-Ule scale, a handheld
index developed in the 19th century to estimate the colour of natural bodies of water such as
lakes and seas. The book itself functions like the Forel-Ule scale, reproduced as printed matter in
solid, opaque colours. Kopelman, who is fascinated by natural processes and whose work
explores the relationship between art and science, also gathers and presents both fragments of
Wernand's writings and recorded conversations which took place at different moments in 2017.

Dominic Van Den Boogerd - Great Temptations

ROMA Publications 2018 ISBN 9789492811363 Acqn 29192
"I can resist everything", wrote Oscar Wilde, "except temptation". What is it that makes a painting
so attractive, so irresistible? In this collection of essays, Dominic van den Boogerd writes with
passion about the exhibitions he has seen, the painters he has spoken with, and the talks by
artists that he has organised as the director of De Ateliers in Amsterdam. About the pleasures
and pitfalls of painting, forbidden favourites and the flirtation between the art of painting and other
muses.

Rene Tosari - Diversity is Power

Jap Sam 2018 ISBN 9789492852045 Acqn 29225
Pb 22x29cm 276pp 150ills 75col £26
Rene Tosari. Diversity is Power is the first monograph on the work of Surinam-Dutch artist Rene
Tosari (1948). In 1983 Tosari founded the Waka Tjopu artists' collective. He is regarded as one of
Suriname's most important graphic artists. His work was politically engaged in the 70s and 80s.
Tosari was directly inspired by his social engagement, often inspired by social realism. In
addition, he made more indirect and symbolic work as his style becomes freer, more complex and
imaginative. His paintings are characterized by a self-develepod technique, a combination of
acrylic and oil paint that is applied layer by layer, wet. From 1990 his home was the Netherlands,
but he regularly stayed in Suriname. Since 2013 he has lived and worked in Suriname.
Contributors to this publication include: Steve Ammersingh, Chandra van Binnendijk, Rob Perree,
Priscilla Tosari and Marieke Visser.

Sofa Issue 3 Autumn 18 - Oh Boy! Masculinities Issue

Edition Messner 2018 no ISBN 29096
Pb 21x30cm 102pp col ills £6.75
'Masculinities', the third instalment of 'SOFA' magazine, addresses current news headlines in
context, as today's crisis of masculinities marks both a process of collective transformation and
spiritual implication. We are in the midst of a major cultural shift, one that requires compassion
and a diverse male presence. With numerous contributors covering topics like #MeToo, body
image in the social media era, the influence of porn and gaming, love in the tech space, men's
mental health, dad complexes, gay gym culture, and more, the magazine offers a safe space for
dialogue in a time when the male species has not been socialised or encouraged to expose
vulnerability.

Impulse Interviews
Impulse [b] 2018 ISBN 9781988817071 Acqn 28943
Pb 27x27cm 262pp 100col ills £36.50
'IMPULSE' was a Toronto-based cultural magazine active from 1971 to 1990. Remarkably global
in perspective, it was distributed and read internationally, publishing some of the most significant
practitioners and thinkers of the time. Its innovative style was eclectic, and it understood and
presented the visual arts as being interconnected with architecture, literature, design, music,
politics, and society. 'Impulse Interviews' comprises over 60 interviews with some of the 20th
century's most engaging cultural creators, including Iggy Pop, Frederic Jameson, Andy Warhol,
and William Gibson. The interviews are presented in the original, innovative design that was the
magazine's hallmark.

Ny Materialism - New Materialism

Art And Theory Publishing 2018 ISBN 9789188031662 Acqn 29051
Pb 12x22cm 224pp £36
Published with an exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm, this volume documents artworks
which demonstrate how the distinction between form and content is difficult to maintain.
Moreover, these works show that content also comes out of the material, and is not just
communicated through it. Creation, processes, and becoming are all emphasised in an homage
to craftsmanship and exploration of material changeability. There are also social and political
dimensions, wherein several of the artists focus on the transference of knowledge, generosity,
and alternative forms of organisation. With work by Sheila Hicks, Abdoulaye Konate, Lee
Mingwei, Petrit Halilaj, and more.

Distracted-reader - Time To Think Like A Mountain

Split/Fountain 2018 no ISBN Acqn 29136
This volume doubles as a non-catalogue for the exhibition 'Time to Think Like a Mountain', which
followed the residency of Auckland-based artist Louise Menzies at the University of Connecticut
in 2014. Her art often explores print culture, and the printed matter reproduced in this publication
emerged from her meanderings through one of the largest collections of underground and self-
published material in the United States. Including contributions by Dan Arps, Jon Bywater, Tessa
Laird, and Graham Stinnett, among others, plus interviews with Barry Rosenberg and Pat Arnott,
it is an insightful look at the conversations, collaborations, and digressions that helped shape the
project.

Furore 24 - The Beatles Issue

Furore 2018 ISBN 9789082105858 Acqn 29139
In 1963 the hit record 'Twist and Shout' by the Beatles was a "special rush release", its cover a
photograph of the band members leaping into the air, ready to take on the world, and seemingly
emerging from the bricks and rubble of the past. It was the defining shot of the year and a
prophetic glimpse at pop music's future. With forensic precision Andre Barreau tackles the
mystery of the location where it was shot. Also included in this issue, a detailed account of when
the Beatles toured Amsterdam by boat in June 1964, plus features on poster typography, famous
photo shoots and their locations, autographed material, re-photographing the band, and much
more.

Gauguin And Laval In Martinique

Thoth Uitgeverij 2018 ISBN 9789068687644 Acqn 29165
Hb 22x26cm 176pp 150ills 100col £33
In 1887, Paul Gauguin, together with fellow-artist Charles Laval, spent four months on the island
of Martinique. Both artists were hoping to find an idyllic environment on the Caribbean island.
Using scintillating colours and bold compositions, they captured the island in their paintings and
drawings as a primitive and tropical paradise. In doing so they clung to their original ideals while
ignoring the harsh everyday reality of a colonized world. Their Martinique works occupy a unique
position within the oeuvre of both Gauguin and Laval. And, although their stay on the island was
brief, it was nonetheless decisive for their future artistic development.

Florian Graf - Out & About

Christoph Merian Verlag 2018 ISBN 9783856168773 Acqn 29189
Hb 22x28cm 144pp 70col ills £33
The Mapprach Estate near Basel is the site of Florian Graf's exhibition 'Out & About', an event
promoting dialogue between art and nature. The hermitage comes to life again on the estate,
translated into a contemporary context and with artworks integrated into the idyllic landscape. The
artist placed evocative signs of his presence in the estate's park, guiding visitors through the
landscape while drawing their attention to apparently inconspicuous things in a poetic
engagement with art and nature. Graf operates on the borders of art and architecture, linking
sculpture, installation, drawing, and more in a search for the psychological and emotional impact
spaces have on their users.

Anais Lopez - The Migrant

Anais Lopez 2018 ISBN 9789082076127 Acqn 29223
Hb 25x33cm 136pp col ills £140
Anais Lopez first met the Javan mynah in her hotel room in Singapore in 2012, a small black bird
with yellow feet and a sharp throat sound. It woke her up from behind the window and kept on
chirping. Anais became intrigued by the bird, but as she soon found out, it is hated by most
Singaporeans. So she started to investigate. A member of the starling family, the bird was
introduced to Singapore in the early 20th century through the songbird trade. 'The Migrant' tells
the tale of the Javan mynah, but also addresses broader themes such as the complex
relationship between humans and animals, the consequences of rapid urbanisation, the position
of the unwanted outsider.

Sabine Hertig – Scrap

Christoph Merian Verlag 2018 ISBN 9783856168575 Acqn 28670
Polar bears swimming in the water and rearing up, people hiding behind thickets and walls, fish
and flowers rotating wildly, and all of this swirls into plant-like forms and architectural elements
recalling eddy, cave and urban landscapes.Sabine Hertig's large-format collages combine
thousands and thousands of fragments to make one profound overall construction. The Swiss
artist has created an independent and unmistakable oeuvre that constitutes a forceful and
innovative handling of the medium of the collage. Equipped with scissors and glue, Hertig
repeatedly questions her own unconventional capricious idiosyncratic formal idiom, while at the
same time constantly developing it further.

Travis Macdonald - The Cavern

Perimeter Editions 2018 ISBN 9780648262879 Acqn 29095
Pb 20x26cm 64pp 51col ills £31
'The Cavern' is the debut artist book by Melbourne-based painter Travis MacDonald. Drawing on
key works from the last three years, the book forwards MacDonald's quietly idiosyncratic take on
the more traditional genres of figuration and landscape painting, revealing a sensitivity and wit
that extends to both his surroundings and that of art history. At once dreamlike in its atmosphere
and palette, and dry in its humour, The Cavern speaks not so much to a wider historical narrative,
but to fragments of time within it.

Leonardo Da Vinci - The Language Of Faces

Thoth Uitgeverij 2018 ISBN 9789068687675 Acqn 29103
During his life Leonardo da Vinci, the very embodiment of the Renaissance ideal of the 'uomo
universale', was famous for his unique ability to convincingly depict human emotions and
personalities. _Leonardo was fascinated by the expressiveness of the human face, whether
deformed and ugly or beautiful and idealized, and particularly by the relation between its exterior
and the interior mind. He had an obvious affinity with the 'science' of physiognomy - popular in his
day - which claimed that the human face reflected the personality inside. _One of the exhibition's
highlights is Leonardo's 'Head of a Young Woman', sometimes called the Mona Lisa of drawings.
The drawing is now on display in the Netherlands for the first time.

Gemma Smith - Found Ground

Formist 2018 ISBN 9780987526885 Acqn 29190
The first comprehensive survey of Gemma Smith's artistic practice features work spanning her
career, such as the large-scale paintings and translucent acrylic sculptures for which she is best
known. Combining bright, bold colours in her abstract paintings and the "boulders", as she calls
her faceted three-dimensional objects, she plays with hard edges, soft curves, and amorphous
forms in a mesmerising way, reflecting her keen sense of spatial relationships. The book is an
immersive experience that provides detailed insight into Smith's various works. Its design is
inspired by her oeuvre and features coloured page edges and special multicoloured pages with
folded corners.

Miguel Gomez Losada – Romanza

CAC Malaga 2018 ISBN 9788494813245 Acqn 29048
Spanish artist Miguel Gomez Losada sees painting as a timeless element and strives to retrieve
the past through his work and memory. His period paintings are characterised by pastoral themes
and feature pensive, intimist and silent figures. Women play a crucial role as the personification of
romanticism, in the sense of an age of self-contemplation in which it is vital to find oneself through
hope or nostalgia, as do elements related to dance and drama. Family memories and the
reliquary of objects and symbols are commonly seen in his oeuvre, as well as the revision of
classic films from the mid-20th century. This catalogue is published on the occasion of an
exhibition of his recent paintings.

Hernan Bas - A Brief Intermission

CAC Malaga 2018 ISBN 9788494813238 Acqn 29052
American artist Hernan Bas produces highly detailed, expressionist figurative paintings deeply
influenced by late 19th-century decadent art and literature, as well as the concurrent symbolist
and decorative style. His inspiration and references, aesthetically grounded in the iconography of
the male dandy, come from tales of adventure, romances, mystery, fairy tales, and classical
mythology. Published with an exhibition of his work at CAC Malaga, this visually stunning
catalogue demonstrates how Bas revisits and reinterprets various categories of classical painting
from a seemingly melancholic yet often humorous and witty, homoerotic and androgynous
perspective.

Beautiful Distress - Art Manifestation On Mental Illness

Stichting Beautiful Distress 2018 ISBN 9789082917208 Acqn 29133
This publication is one outcome of the 'Beautiful Distress Art Manifestation on Mental Illness',
which took place in Amsterdam in the fall of 2017. Its pages include the exhibition catalogue, a
conference report, and several related texts. Essentially, it asks how we can establish a layered
and nuanced perspective on mental illness through art and with the help of artists. Art appeals to
emotions and intellect, encourages looking at things differently, and can raise awareness of our
own prejudices and judgements. Artists' residencies at one of the largest mental health
institutions in the Netherlands over the last 20 years have helped to facilitate this dialogue.

A Controversal Past - Museum Boijmans Van Beuningan And The Second World War
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen 2018 ISBN 9789069183077 Acqn 29186
The story of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen during the Second World War is an emotionally
charged one: a director who bent to the will of the occupying power and patrons who sold works
of art to the Nazi's. At the same time, the museum played an important role as a centre of art and
culture and the guardian of culture in the devastated city of Rotterdam. This Boijmans Study
examines the role of the museum and its patrons during the war.

Alice Neel In New Jersey And Vermont

Xavier Hufkens 2018 ISBN 9789491245237 Acqn 29198
Hb 24x30cm 96pp col ills £33.75
The American visual artist Alice Neel travelled to New Jersey more or less every summer from
1934, initially renting a house on the seashore in Belmar and later purchasing her first small
cottage in neighbouring Spring Lake. The concept of an artist on vacation seems a bit absurd in
relation to one for whom painting was a way of life. Yet the liberated atmosphere, the chance for
leisure and reverie that vacations permit, is often reflected in Neel's paintings from Spring Lake
and Vermont, which capture the essence of these things, the spirit of place, yet also the contrast
between suburbia and nature. This catalogue is published with an exhibition of her work from
these periods.

Cats in Art
Seigensha Art Publishing 2018 ISBN 9784861526633 Acqn 29222
Lovers of cats and art are often one and the same, making this anthology from Seigensha all the
more appealing. Gathering examples from the history of both Western and Japanese art - from
paintings, etchings, and sculptures, to plenty of ukiyo-e prints - it celebrates our multifaceted
relationship with these animals as expressed through feline appearances in artworks. Such
depictions are categorised in five chapters: Holy Cats and Evil Cats (deified, harbingers, or good
luck talismans), Cats in Lives (our mutually adoring relationships), Cats in Various Situations
(snoozing, stealing, playing), and Various Metamorphosis of Cats (wildly anthropomorphic
imaginations).

Using a minimal repertoire of materials, the artist Ann Veronica Janssens poses fundamental
questions about the limits of perception and our capacity to sense and experience the world.
Janssens' art compels us to question our sensory world, the reliability of our perceptions and,
ultimately, the very basis of our sensations and consciousness. This richly illustrated publication
introduces Janssens' intriguing art by essays of Laura Lindstedt, Marja Sakari, and Clelia Zernik.

formed in pencil, ink, foam board, card stock, or metal, his creations are the typographic
equivalent of an architectural model.
