Alberto
Giacometti
by Christian Klemm (Editor), et al
Alberto Giacometti, the elegant catalog for a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern
Art in New York, seeks to counter overly literary or psychological interpretations of an
artist who has long been viewed as a poster boy for existentialism. The atmospheric
black-and-white halftones and color plates are organized in closely interrelated,
chronological groups to support texts by several experts, including Christian Klemm,
curator of the Alberto Giacometti Foundation. By focusing on the work itself--which
includes paintings and drawings as well as the famously slender, elongated sculptures--the
authors emphasize his exquisitely calibrated response to the roles played by perception
and memory. In the portraits, for example, networks of fine lines dematerialize a sitter's
face yet preserve her essence. Anne Umland's intriguing discussion of the roles of
photography and the fetish in Giacometti's surrealist-era sculpture is one of the many
pleasures of this book. --Cathy Curtis - Amazon.com

Alberto Giacometti
in Postwar Paris
by Michael Peppiatt
James Lord met Swiss-born sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) in 1952, when he had moved
beyond the mysterious surrealist works that first won him fame (The Palace at 4 A.M.) to
the spookily attenuated figures that made him a preeminent profiler of existential unease.
Lord astutely chronicles this transformation, and the evaluation of Giacometti's
formidable personality is notable for its sensitive delineation of his ambivalent feelings
toward women. Without scanting the sculptor's tragic view of life, the author also
inspires exhilaration with his portrait of a man who was always true to his art. Amazon.com

Essays by Vittoria Coen and Lisa Liebmann.
"My theory is that if you get the surfaces right, you get everything else right. I
want style, the manner of painting, to be the dominant function. Style is part of
the thing of elegance, the look that New York painting has. You find its epitome in
Jackson Pollock. Big, not small or fussy. Pizazz. Count Basie seems like New York style,
you know?" Alex Katz

Anselm Kiefer
(Prices for this artist)
Anselm Kiefer: The Seven Heavenly Palaces
by Markus Bruderlin
Born in the final weeks of World War II--in what Germans who wished to erase it from
collective memory called Year Zero--Anselm Kiefer has long sought to come to grips with
his country's Nazi past. This monograph traces his development as an artist through four
blocks of work which reflect the most important currents in his complex oeuvre. Moving
chronologically from microcosm to macrocosm, from the intimate spaces of "Attic
Images" in the 70s through the vaster "Stone Halls" of the early 80s and
the archaic-looking clay architectures he created in the 90s, Kiefer's pictorial spaces
climaxed in the endless universes of "Images of the Cosmos and Constellations,"
painted at the close of the century. With the monumental "Sunflower Paintings,"
the progression was complete and he returned to earth. Also included are photographs by
Thomas Flechtner which document the greenhouses, underground corridor systems, and
installations realized by Kiefer at his studio estate in Barjac since 1993. " I think
vertically, and Fascism was one vertical plane. Yet I see all these strata. I tell stories
in my works in order to show what lies behind the story. I make a hole and I go through
it." Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer and
Art After Auschwitz (Cambridge Studies in New Art History and Criticism)
Lisa Saltzman
Anselm Kiefer and Art after Auschwitz examines the legacy of German-Jewish culture in the
aftermath of the Holocaust. Positioning Kiefer as a deeply learned artist who encounters
and represents history in painted, rather than written form, Lisa Saltzman contends that
his work is unique among post-war German artists in his persistent exploration of the
legacy of fascism. Formally, thematically, and philosophically, Kiefer's work probes the
aesthetic and ethical dilemma of representing the unrepresentable, the historical
catastrophe into whose aftermath the arist was born. The Publisher

A Book by Anselm
Kiefer
Theodore E. Stebbins, et al
One of the most important modern German painters, Kiefer is best known for
his brooding forests and somber fields encrusted with debris, for his haunted monuments
reeking of the Nazi past. In contrast, this series of bright, spontaneous watercolors
reveals a wholly different side of the artist. Cahners Business Information, Inc.
