The Social World of Galleries
This book presents the first detailed study of the place of contemporary art galleries and gallerists, especially within the art markets of Europe and the United States. Based on the author's field research carried out for over a decade, and combining ethnographic material with quantitative data, the book reveals the major role galleries play in the creation of art value. Despite being pillars of the art market, there has been very little in-depth research on galleries, especially when compared with the analysis of artists, critics, and dealers. Written by a sociologist who has spent a decade as an art critic, the book builds on work conducted by art historian and sociologist Raymonde Moulin...

Robert Mapplethorpe
The legacy of Robert Mapplethorpe (1946 –1989) is rich and complicated, triggering controversy, polarizing critics, and providing inspiration for many artists who followed him. Mapplethorpe, one of the most influential figures of his time, today stands as an example to emerging photographers who continue to experiment with the boundaries and concepts of the beautiful. Robert Mapplethorpe: The Photographs offers a timely and rewarding examination of his oeuvre and influence. Drawing from the extraordinary collection jointly acquired in 2011 by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, as well as the Mapplethorpe Archive housed...
The Not-So-Still Life
"Presenting, interpreting, and celebrating the world-renowned and the lesser-known California artists who have uniquely defined and redefined the still life, this volume offers an exploration of the sensual pleasures, the aesthetic challenges, and the intellectual and perceptual associations of a century of art through the prism of a single genre."--BOOK JACKET.
Salzburg
Now in paperback, Nowak reveals the lesser-known side of Salzburg through stories of those who have lived there over the centuries. Situated in the shadow of the Eastern Alps, Salzburg is known for its majestic baroque architecture, music, cathedrals, and gardens. The city grew in power and wealth as the seat of prince-bishops, found international fame as the birthplace of the beloved composer Mozart, and expanded to become a global destination for travel as a festival city. With all its stunning sights and rich history, Salzburg has become Austria’s second most visited city, drawing visitors from around the world. Hubert Nowak sets out to reveal the lesser-known side of Salzburg, a small town with international renown. Leaving the famed festival district, he plunges into the narrow façade-lined streets of the old quarter, creating one of the most extensive accounts of the city published in English. Through the stories of those who visited and lived in the city over the centuries, he gives the reader a fresh perspective and gives the old city new life.

Erwin Wurm
Austrian artist Erwin Wurm often uses humour to seduce his audience, disarming them, opening their eyes to underlying meanings in his work, which ranges from distorted everyday objects to the so-called 'One Minute Sculptures', where people are posed in unexpected relationships with things close at hand. This catalogue to the exhibition presented at CAC Málaga in autumn 2012 documents the pieces, videos and installations selected to represent his unique and sometimes irreverent artistic vision. Includes an introduction by Fernando Francés and 'The Body, Skin and Words, or the Appeal of Politcally Incorrect Art' by Juan Bosco Díaz-Urmenta Muñoz. 0Exhibition: CAC Málaga, Spain (21.9.-11.11.2012). 0.
Chroma
Designer und Architekten müssen täglich über Farben entscheiden. Aber wie findet man die wegweisende Inspiration? Die passende Farbe? Wie gehen andere Gestalter oder Künstler mit dem Thema um? Unter dem Titel Chroma, dem griechischen Wort für Farbe, gibt der vorliegende Bildband Antwort auf diese Fragen und macht deutlich, dass Farbe eben nicht nur Dekoration ist, sondern eine der zentralen Problemstellungen kreativer Arbeit. Dabei setzt Chroma auf die sinnliche Erfahrung von Farbe, inspiriert und verführt mit außergewöhnlichen Projekten von Industrieprodukten bis Farbfeldmalerei. Das Buch präsentiert sowohl die Arbeiten jüngerer Designer wie Stefan Diez und Arik Levy als auch die ...
