Abstract expressionism emerged in the 1940s in America, influenced by Arshile Gorky's innovative work. This movement, the first from the Americas to gain global influence, gave rise to two distinct sub-categories: action painting, represented by artists like Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, and color field painting, popularized by Mark Rothko. Abstract expressionists aimed to convey emotions and ideas directly on canvas through color, form, and texture, embracing accident and chance while celebrating the act of painting itself. Featured artists include William Baziotes, Helen Frankenthaler, Adolph Gottlieb, Philip Guston, Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, David Smith, and others. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre Series offers a detailed illustrated introduction, a timeline of significant political, cultural, and social events, and a selection of key works from the era. Each artwork is presented on a 2-page spread with a full-page image, interpretation, and a brief biography of the artist, complemented by approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions.

L'arte nell'era della comunicazione digitale. Gli artisti sono sempre stati pionieri nell'adozione delle nuove tecnologie mediali, dall'uso della stampa da parte di Albrecht Dürer nel XVI secolo agli esperimenti con il video di Nam June Paik negli anni '60. Nel 1994, l'avvento di Internet come mezzo popolare ha catalizzato un movimento artistico globale che ha iniziato a esplorare le possibilità culturali, sociali ed estetiche delle nuove tecnologie di comunicazione, come il Web, le telecamere di sorveglianza, i telefoni wireless, i computer portatili e i dispositivi GPS. Questo libro affronta l'arte dei Nuovi Media come un movimento storico specifico, concentrandosi non solo sulle tecnologie e le forme, ma anche sui contenuti tematici e le strategie concettuali. L'arte dei Nuovi Media spesso implica appropriazione, collaborazione e condivisione libera di idee ed espressioni, affrontando frequentemente le implicazioni politiche della tecnologia su questioni di identità, commercializzazione, privacy e dominio pubblico. Molti artisti dei Nuovi Media sono profondamente consapevoli dei loro antecedenti storici, facendo riferimento a Dada, Pop Art, arte concettuale, arte performativa e Fluxus.

Land of The earth as canvas In the mid-60s, artists in the USA and Europe began planning works for sites outside the narrow boundaries of galleries and museums. It began with ephemeral enhancements or traces left in deserted landscapes, in the deserts of America, or in the moors of Scotland. Following this were spectacular earthen sculptures of gigantic proportions, some of which are still in the process of completion today. One distinguishing feature of Land Art is its critical preoccupation with the tradition of sculpture. Sculpture can now be an earthwork excavation, a field of metal poles, a buried hut, a trace in the grass, or even a book. Another of the movement’s special characteristics is its emphasis on site-specific, outdoor works intended to lastingly alter our perception of places, and to set new parameters in art production and reception. Artists Carl Andre, Alice Aycock, Herbert Bayer, Christo & Jeanne Claude, Walter De Maria, Agnes Denes, Jan Dibbets, Hamish Fulton, Andy Goldsworthy, Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, Peter Hutchinson, Patricia Johanson, Dani Karavan, Richard Long, Mary Miss, Robert Morris, Dennis Oppenheim, Charles Ross, Robert Smithson, Alan Sonfist, James Turrell About the Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre Series

Die Fotografie erfindet sich gerade neu. Mit der digitalen Revolution haben sich nicht nur die Aufnahmeverfahren, sondern auch die Ästhetik und die Inszenierung radikal verändert. Zu den Tafelbildern im Monumentalformat, den Fotografien hinter glatt poliertem Plexiglas oder den fein getonten Schwarzweißabzügen sind eigenwillige Präsentationsformen (räumliche Installationen, Layouts, Websites) hinzugekommen, die der Fotografie eine ganz neue Aura verleihen. In diesem Übersichtsband werden auf je vier Bildseiten 120 junge Künstler und Fotografen vorgestellt, die in den letzten Jahren für Furore gesorgt haben. Umfangreiche Bildstrecken und aussagekräftige Texte internationaler Experten dokumentieren diese nie dagewesene Vielschichtigkeit. Ein ausführliches Glossar der wichtigsten technischen und ästhetischen Begriffe macht die Publikation zu einem richtungsweisenden Standardwerk für interessierte Zeitgenossen, Fotografen, Sammler und Freunde der Fotografie und der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Mit Texten von Paolo Bianchi, Reinhard Braun, David Brittain, Florian Ebner, Erik Eelbode, Roy Exley, Felix Hoffmann, Barbara Hofmann-Johnson, Karen Irvine, Martin Jaeggi, Sarah Lewis, Jan-Erik Lundström, Nadine Olonetzky, Johan Sjöström, Rik Suermondt, Ossian Ward, Grant Watson

Inspired by the development of Cubism, the Futurist movement was founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, along with painters Giacomo Balla. Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, and Gino Severini. The school, which celebrated technology and the mechanical era, was comprised of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, and writers.

Tracciando le questioni e le preoccupazioni della prima generazione di artisti coinvolti nella fondazione del movimento, questa guida all'arte concettuale include un saggio che esplora le basi storiche dell'arte concettuale e la sua relazione con le estetiche dominanti degli anni '60, in particolare la teoria modernista di Clement Greenberg e dei suoi discepoli.

"International Art Galleries is the first book to examine the modern gallery phenomenon, offering over seventy-five portraits of art galleries from around the world. The galleries profiled have represented the finest artists of the last sixty years and have played a key role in defining the artistic zeitgeist. Organized decade-by-decade, each chapter is introduced by a brief historical sketch summarizing the social background of the decade in question. The galleries, which are assigned to the eras in which they enjoyed their greatest influence with the public, are introduced by a factual section detailing their foundation, proprietor, address and the artists represented, followed by a lively illustrated essay." "Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs of artists, dealers and art world luminaries, this comprehensive history of the modern gallery system offers an intriguing and engaging new slant on the development of art since 1945"--Jacket.

Der Kubismus, der u. a. von Picasso und Braque begründet wurde, gilt manchen als erste Avantgarde-Bewegung der Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert. Von afrikanischer und indianischer Kunst inspiriert, dekonstruierten seine Anhänger die europäischen Konventionen von Form und Perspektive und schufen zweidimensionale, fragmentierte und revolutionäre Bilder. Picassos berühmtes Gemälde Les Demoiselle d’Avignon mit seiner radikalen Fragmentierung von Gegenständen und Figuren, die unterschiedliche Blickwinkel wiedergeben, gilt als das ursprüngliche kubistische Werk schlechthin. Danach bildete der Kubismus zwei unterschiedliche Richtungen aus: den Analytischen Kubismus, der weiterhin perspektivische Ebenen in den Farben Schwarz, Grau und Ocker miteinander verwob, und den späteren Synthetischen Kubismus, der von einfacheren Formen, strahlenderen Farben und Collage-Elementen wie Zeitungsfetzen geprägt war. Dieses Buch stellt Werke der Hauptvertreter des Kubismus vor, darunter Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes und Robert Delaunay.

Founded as a backlash against abstract expressionism, minimalism was characterized by simplified, stripped-down forms and materials used to express ideas in a direct and impersonal manner. By presenting objects as simple objects, minimal artists sought to communicate without referring to expressive or historical themes. This critical movement, which began in the 1960s and branched out into land art, performance art, and conceptual art, is still a major influence today. Featured artists: Carl Andre, Stephen Antonakos, Jo Baer, Larry Bell, Ronald Bladen, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Robert Grosvenor, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Gary Kuehn, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, John McCracken, Robert Morris, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, Richard Serra, Tony Smith, Robert Smithson, Anne Truitt.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE MOST TALENTED WOMEN ARTISTS WORKING TODAY.

Packed into a pocket-sized book is a concise selection of art from the last two decades of the 20th century, culled from the Taschen title 'Art at the Turn of the Millennium'. Two pages, with illustrations and biographical/bibliographical information, are devoted to each artist.

The art of the 1980s and 90s can seem like an impenetrable tangle of isms that are alarmingly diverse and mutually contradictory. In the post-postmodern age, anything and everything goes. The new generation of artists has a penchant for venturing into territory not traditionally associated with high art, and designers, architects and film-makers can be found at the cutting edge. This book offers a broad overview of the international art scene at the end of the twentieth century. Four pages are devoted to each of the 137 artists featured, all of whom are listed alphabetically. Their work is introduced with pithy commentaries and displayed in more than 1,200 illustrations, documenting the latest trends in art. As the millennium draws to a close, this guide suggests directions in which the art of the future might be heading.

This is a collection of photographs examining contemporary Japanese society. The photographer, Paul Graham, identifies a collective amnesia in Japan which, 50 years after the end of World War II, obscures the memory of total defeat and unconditional surrender. Simultaneously, the book recognizes the cloud of benevolence masking the true source of political power.
