Christo and
Jeanne-Claude in the Vogel Collection
by Molly Donovan
Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created some of the most visually breathtaking works of the
20th century. From early wrapped objects to monumental outdoor projects such as The
Umbrellas Japan-U.S.A., 1984–91 and Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1971–95, the
Christos have used fabric—wrapped, draped, and folded over, around, and through
natural and constructed forms—to transcend the traditional boundaries of painting,
drawing, sculpture, and architecture. This stunning volume spanning the Christos'
remarkable 40-year career accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art of
works from the collection of Dorothy and Herbert Vogel, whose relationship with the
artists dates to 1971. The wonderful breadth of works presented in color and discussed
here include several early packages, preparatory drawings, models for large-scale public
works in urban and rural sites, and photographs of the completed projects. Amazon.com

Leonardo
Da Vinci: The Complete Paintings
by Pietro C. Marani, Leonardo
In this magnificent book, Pietro Marani, the director of the project to restore Leonardo
da Vinci's Last Supper, presents all the artist's known paintings. The history and
significance of each are analyzed at length: we read, for example, that "from a very
early date, Mona Lisa was considered among Leonardo's most extraordinary accomplishments,
one that made every other artist 'tremble and lose heart.'" .... From its enigmatic
cover (the lips of the artist's exquisite portrait of Ginevra de' Benci) to its extensive
bibliography, Leonardo da Vinci comes the closest this reviewer has seen to being the
ultimate art book. --John Stevenson, Amazon.com

Chihuly Projects
by Dale Chihuly, et al
Voluptuous shapes in luscious color, Dale Chihuly's large-scale glass sculptures are all
about immediate sensory experience. It's likely no book could capture the intoxication of
being in the presence of clusters of glass forms that look like undersea life or tropical
forests, hanging overhead or rising up from the floor in fabulous splendor. Chihuly
Projects offers 200 full-page photographs (in supersaturated color) of 34 installations
the Seattle artist created over a 30-year span for public and private clients, plus chatty
comments by the artist and members of his staff. A fine essay by the art writer Barbara
Rose places Chihuly's work in the context of contemporary art and his own life. (An eye
injury in the mid-'70s precipitated his shift from blowing individual tabletop glass
pieces to becoming the director of a team effort.) But the photographs tend to flatten out
Chihuly's generous shapes, and the real-world settings of the sculptures are often so busy
visually that, seen from the fixed vantage point of a still photo, they compete
distractingly with the art. Although some pieces are shown in different stages of
completion, it's hard to grasp how any given project actually comes together from start to
finish. A splashy book that seems to be trying to match the brio and outsized vision of
its artist, Chihuly Projects serves primarily as an eye-popping general tour of work that
ranges from a 70-by-30-foot ceiling for the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas to an outdoor
"chandelier" (for a retreat in Washington State) with 1,200 handblown glass
icicles--and an attached heater for melting snow to add hanging pendants of real ice. --Cathy

Secret
Knowledge : Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters
by David Hockney
Recently, David Hockney, often described as the "world's most popular artist,"
has made headlines not with his own work but with his sensational and controversial
theories about how some of Western art's famous masterpieces—paintings by artists
such as da Vinci, Caravaggio, Velázquez, and Van Eyck—were actually created. A
chance observation of a drawing in London's National Gallery led Hockney to ask, "How
was this done?"
His answer led to fascinating insights into the history of art: that many of the
world's most revered artists used mirrors and various optical devices—such as the
camera obscura—to project images onto their canvasses and then "traced" the
scenes. Hockney's radical speculations have prompted both astonishment and outrage from
prominent art historians and museum directors worldwide. The debate aside, Secret
Knowledge offers readers the exhilarating opportunity to see the Old Masters
afresh—through the eyes of a living master.
In Secret Knowledge, hundreds of paintings are reproduced in stunning color
plates, and many are discussed in close and accessible detail. Hockney's own drawings and
photographs illustrate how artists would have used the technology available to them in
rendering their subjects. Extracts from historical and modern documents provide further
evidence while correspondence between Hockney and an impressive array of international art
historians, curators, and scientists details both the evolution of his theory and the
furor that has erupted over it. Amazon.com

David Hockney's Dog
Days by David Hockney, Cjl (Editor)
David Hockney's Dog Days is the slightest of books, but that may be just fine for
dachshund lovers, who will be its best audience. Hockney's drawings and paintings of his
two dogs are full of tender love. They are "not very good models," he says.
"One knock on the door is enough to make them leap up." So he paints them
snoozing, mostly horizontal (as dachshunds usually are), and mostly on yellow and blue
backgrounds, which can be monotonous. These are not the dachshunds of Pierre Bonnard, who
made strange black holes in otherwise glorious canvasses. No matter: Hockney offers
"no apologies." Speaking as a dog lover, he explains, "These two little
creatures are my friends."
