    Shark Infested Waters

    Shark Infested Waters

    Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    Charles Saatchi's collection of young British artists is one of the most celebrated collections of contemporary art in the world. 'But is it art?' was a frequent cry during the mid-90s, when he exhibited the works of artists such as Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, Gavin Turk and Marcus Harvey. Artists such as these soon fulfilled their promise and consolidated their reputations, vindicating Saatchi's enthusiasm and their inclusion in this eclectic group. The book explores the ideas, aspirations and attitudes that inform each artist and the way that they are manifested in the end product. This publication, long out of print, remains an essential record of 35 artists that were collected by Charles Saatchi during the 1990s and is being reprinted to celebrate the opening of the new Saatchi Gallery later this year.

    'Art today makes approaches towards the unknowable... artists reflect something both psychological and social off that gaze, something that may hint at the face the future will present. In this activity artist and critic are linked in an intimate collaboration. The artist makes unverifiable hypotheses or intuitive proposals about the unknown, and the critic drives out into the verbal open their networks of implications.' Thomas McEvilley, 'Father the void' in 'Tyne International: a new necessity' 1990, p.133.
    The name of this book is derived from Damien Hirst's extraordinary sculpture, 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, ' 1992, a fourteen-foot tiger shark suspended in a tank of formaldehyde. It is appropriate that Hirst should introduce this anthology, since he was responsible for making visible many of the artists included in these pages and, in many people's minds, has come to epitomize the wild boy whose shock tactics and cool media manner give art a high profile and a bad name. His presence emphatically colours the 20water.
    In 1988 while still a student at Goldsmiths', Hirst organized 'Freeze, ' an exhibition that included sixteen of his fellow students. This marked the beginning of a vital period of optimism and enthusiasm. The recession provided a plentiful supply of empty factories, warehouses and offices and young artists seized the initiative, raised funds and mounted further shows such as 'Modern Medicine' and 'Gambler' in these dramatic spaces.
    Charles Saatchi had been collecting their work and bought Hirst's first major piece, 'A Thousand Years, ' with its rotting cow's head and flies. Support of this kind is of incalculable value; it sustains energy and optimism. Whereas struggling in a vacuum is soul-destroying, the prospect of having one's work enter a major collection provides both a goal and a context; it generates hope. Damien Hirst's shark swam into view in the first show of Young British Artists mounted at the Saatchi Gallery in 1992 and attracted unprecedented media attention.
    At first sight there seem to be few links between the thirty-five artists represented in this book. What possible preoccupations could be shared by a minimalist painter and a pickler of sharks? In writing about them, the author was determined not to impose artificial groupings. Despite their work being lumped together under the rubric of 'conceptualism, ' often by those hostile to it, these artists do not form a group or a school. Many of them studied at Goldsmiths' and some are friends, but others have never met or even heard of one another. Kerry Stewart graduated only recently, Jenny Saville lives in Scotland, Carina Weidle has returned to Brazil and, although most of the others live in London, it is a big city. There is no cafe society or artists' meeting place and these people do not form a cosy coterie.

    Gebonden met stofomslag (met rechtsboven een scheurtje van ongeveer 1 cm.), in zeer goede staat

    Confessions of a connoisseur: Insiders' tips on how the design art market really works "Art is about life, the art market is about money." --Damien Hirst

    Whether you're an art fan, aficionado, or collector, this completely unique book should be on your required reading list. Like a textbook for a class given by all of the world's leading experts, Collecting Contemporary Art is the one and only book to teach you everything you ever wanted to know about the contemporary art market. The introduction explains the ABCs of buying art on the primary and secondary markets, at auction, and at art fairs and gives an overview of the world art scene and its social circles. The main body of the book brings together tell-all interviews with the biggest players in the global art market: the Critic (Rimanelli), the Dealer (Boesky, Brunnet/Hackert, Coles, Deitch, Fortes, Gagosian, Gladstone, Glimcher, Hetzler, Lybke, Perrotin, Rosen, Shave, Wirth), the Consultant (Cortez, Fletcher, Heller, Segalot, Westreich), the Collector (Brant, Broad, Habsburg, Joannou, Lambert, Lehmann, Lopez, Paz, Pinault, Rothschild Foundation, Saatchi), the Auction House Expert (Cappellazzo, de Pury, Meyer), and the Museum Curator/Director (Dennison, Eccles, Heiss, Lowry, Peyton-Jones).

    Rounding up the book are chapters on the year in art collecting--giving a timeline of the most important annual auctions, exhibitions, fairs, etc. around the world--as well as a glossary of terms every art savvy player should know. The text is illustrated by the work of the hottest artists in today's market, including Matthew Barney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Lisa Yuskavage, and many more.

    All in all, these elements add up to the equivalent of an invaluable and privileged real-world collector's education--all between the covers of one book.

    Van Gogh en Japan

    Van Gogh en Japan

    Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    Nadat hij tijdens zijn verblijf in Antwerpen kennis had gemaakt met de Japanse ukiyo-e prenten, raakte Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) al snel in de ban van de Japanse kunst en cultuur. Toen Vincent en zijn broer, Theo, zich samen in Parijs vestigden, begonnen ze enthousiast Japanse prenten te verzamelen en zelfs te verhandelen. Hun beeldtaal en hun stijl oefenden echter ook een grote invloed uit op Vincents eigen werk. Deze prachtige publicatie werpt een nieuw licht op de inspiratie die Van Gogh uit de Japanse prentkunst putte.00Via essays van 's werelds toonaangevende Van Gogh-deskundigen beschrijft dit boek de diverse manieren waarop de kunstenaar zijn inzicht in de Japanse esthetiek ontwikkelde en dat in zijn eigen visie en kunstpraktijk verwerkte. Het boek wordt rijkelijk geïllustreerd met olieverfschilderijen, schetsen en prenten van Van Gogh zelf, naast een selectie van de Japanse werken die zo tot zijn verbeelding spraken. De omvang, de aard en het belang van Van Goghs eigen collectie Japanse prenten komt gedetailleerd aan bod, net als de impact die zijn nabootsingen van prenten op zijn hele artistieke loopbaan hadden.00Exhibition: Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Sapporo, Japan (26.08.-15.10.2017) / Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan (24.10.2017-08.01.2018) / National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan (20.01.-04.03.2018) / Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (23.03.-24.06.2018).
