Die Geschichte der modernen Kunst als Graphic Novel: Von Marcel Duchamp bis Marina Abramovic Was macht ein Urinal, eine Dose Suppe, einen eingelegten Hai oder eine an die Wand geklebte Banane zu einem Kunstwerk? Diese Graphic Novel erzählt über einen Zeitraum von etwa 100 Jahren die Geschichte der modernen Kunst als Abfolge genialer Geistesblitze, die die Welt veränderten. Zu den revolutionären Ideengebern gehören Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Yayoi Kusama, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marina Abramovi?, Kara Walker, Maurizio Cattelan und viele andere. Was als rebellischer Akt bei einer Ausstellung im Jahr 1917 begann, entwickelte sich zu einer globalen, milliardenschweren Kunstwelt. Die hier vorgestellten Kunstwerke provozierten und elektrisierten die Gesellschaft derart, dass es immer wieder zu explosiven Momenten kam, in denen Konventionen und Traditionen in die Luft gesprengt wurden. Über Jahrzehnte und Kontinente hinweg – Paris, New York, London, Tokio, São Paulo – inspirierten sich wagemutige Künstler gegenseitig, überschritten Grenzen und lösten aufsehenerregende Zäsuren sowie bahnbrechende Kettenreaktionen aus, die die Kunst für immer veränderten. Egal, wie lange die Menschen brauchen, um den jeweiligen Positionen etwas abzugewinnen – zeitgenössische Kunst widersetzt sich weiterhin den Erwartungen, stört die Gewohnheiten, regt neue Sichtweisen an und beweist, dass der Kreativität keine Grenzen gesetzt sind.

Robert Shore unfolds the multi-dimensional Warhol, dissecting his existence as undisputed art-world hotshot, recreating the amazing circle that surrounded him, and tracing his path to stardom back through his early career and his awkward and unusual youth. After Warhol, nothing would be the same – he changed art forever. Find out how with his remarkable story.
The real world is full of cameras; the virtual world is full of images. Where does all this photographic activity leave the artist-photographer? Post-Photography tries to answer that question by investigating the exciting new language of photographic image-making that is emerging in the digital age of anything-is-possible and everything-has-been-done-before.Found imagery has become increasingly important in post-photographic practice, with the internet serving as a laboratory for a major kind of image-making experimentation. But artists also continue to create entirely original works using avant-garde techniques drawn from both the digital and analogue eras.This book is split into six sections – Something Borrowed, Something New, Layers of Reality, Eye-Spy, Material Visions, Post-Photojournalism and All the World Is Staged – which cover the key strategies adopted by 53 of the most exciting and innovative artist-photographers of the 21st century, drawn from all over the world.
