  • New Books and Highlights Spring 2021 Welcome
    New Books and Highlights Spring 2021 Welcome Visions of Heaven: Dante and the Art of Divine Light by Leonardo scholar Martin Kemp is a glorious highlight of our Spring 2021 programme, published to coincide with the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death. It is both a feast for the eyes, lavishly illustrated with masterpieces of Renaissance and Baroque painting, and a hugely original study of the impact of Dante’s vision of divine light on the artists of the Renaissance and Baroque. It is also the trailblazer for a new Lund Humphries programme of illustrated Art History books written by scholars and accessible to non-specialists. Keep an eye out in our newsletters and on our social-media channels for two new Art History series launching in Autumn 2021: Illuminating Women Artists: Renaissance and Baroque, and Northern Lights. A number of books in our Spring list uncover aspects of Design History from the more recent past. The IBM Poster Program tells a fascinating story of mid-century graphic design centred on one of the most important corporations of the 20th century; designer Greta Magnusson Grossman’s previously untold contribution to mid-century modernism is charted in an important new monograph on her work; and Arts and Crafts Pioneers explores the importance of the Victorian Century Guild of Artists and its influential periodical, The Hobby Horse, in the formation of the Arts & Crafts Movement. A growing strand of the Lund Humphries publishing programme is concerned with the interaction between contemporary visual culture and the contemporary world. The New Directions in Contemporary Art series, edited by Marcus Verhagen, launches this Spring with four thought-provoking critical texts.

  • Textbooks in Focus: Women in Architecture Survey 12:00 - 1:30Pm Wednesday, 12Th May, 2021 Category Roundtable
    Textbooks in Focus: Women in Architecture Survey 12:00 - 1:30pm Wednesday, 12th May, 2021 Category Roundtable The first Roundtable of the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group aims to give voice to the discussion illuminating scholarship and teaching materials on women in architecture. A remarkable number of trailblazing studies have manifested this extensive legacy. The textbooks in focus accord with the mission of the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group and highlight the significant yet still scarcely explored professional contributions of women who, to a great extent, shaped the discipline around the world. Our aspiration is to introduce the volumes recently published or in production, and emphasize the names of pioneering women in architecture, who have inspired and built cultural, spiritual, and physical environments across time and place. The novelty of our vision is in presenting not only a collection of readings but in broadening the field by advancing a more incisive overview of the topic as a whole, and by intertwining an approach to the professional standing of women in architecture with the more explicit attention to related themes. By examining architectural practice, and including the craftsmanship of landscape and interior design, architectural theory, artistry and collecting, and academic and social initiatives and criticism, the presented research sets out debates, questions, and projects around women in architecture, and stimulates broader studies and discussions in emerging areas. Furthermore, it becomes a powerful catalyst for future publications on the subject and for academic surveys worldwide envisioned to educate, empower, and craft the future of the profession. The books are introduced by their authors and editors.

  • Lauretta Vinciarelli, Orange Silence, 2000, Three Watercolor-On-Paper Works, Each 22 × 15"
    Lauretta Vinciarelli, Orange Silence, 2000, three watercolor-on-paper works, each 22 × 15". Lauretta Vinciarelli TOTAH Solace. That’s the word that kept coming to mind as I looked at Lauretta Vinciarelli’s exacting watercolor-and-ink studies of light, space, and reflection, after not having seen art in person for six months due to the Covid-19 closures. This exquisite exhibition focused on the artist and architect’s mature production between 1984 and 2002, before her untimely death in 2011 at age sixty-eight. It seemed to pick up right where the last Vinciarelli show—at New York’s Judd Foundation in 2019—left off. That presentation surveyed her output from the years 1976 to 1986, when she was romantically involved with the foundation’s namesake. Unfortunately, the offering, as Ida Panicelli wrote in these pages, left “unaddressed the circuitous path” that Vinciarelli “took to become an extraordinary artist.” Not so here. Vinciarelli was raised in Rome, where her father was an organist at Saint Peter’s Basilica (she later likened the numbering of works in her various series to notes on a musical scale). She studied architecture at Sapienza Università di Roma before emigrating in 1969 to the United States, where she taught for many years at several institutions. In 1987, she commenced her transcendent spatial experiments in watercolor and ink, which were never meant to be plans for actual buildings. “The architectural space I have painted since 1987 does not portray solutions to specific demands of use,” she once noted. Her engagement with luminous watercolor on sturdy sheets of Fabriano paper, typically thirty by twenty-two inches, allowed her to exemplify what it means to “not portray,” to abandon utility in the service of unbridled imagination, as other well- known and mostly male avant-garde architects of the era—such as Walter Pichler and Lebbeus Woods—did.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 5, 2013 MEDIA CONTACTS: Erin Hogan Carl Krause (312) 443-3664 (312) 443-3363 [email protected] [email protected] ART INSTITUTE EXHIBITION EXPLORES COMMON CONCEPTS IN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN ACROSS TIME AND PLACE Sharing Space Opens April 6, 2013 Features Work by Charles and Ray Eames, R. Buckminster Fuller, Hella Jongerius, Rudolf Schindler, and More A new installation drawn from the Art Institute of Chicago’s renowned collection of architecture and design explores the common ground between the two fields throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. On view April 6– August 18, 2013 in Galleries 283–285, Sharing Space: Creative Intersections in Architecture and Design showcases the depth of the collection by presenting works selected with an eye toward mutual creative concepts and strategies rather than the typical categories of media or period. By doing so, the exhibition creates exciting new “conversations” between works that are organized into six creative ideas or themes: color, geometry, structure, hybrid, surface, and technology. The result offers visitors the chance to see new and unexpected relationships among the related areas of architecture, urban planning, visual communications, and industrial design from a global mix of designers and architects spanning over a century of time. Each of the six sections of the exhibition illuminates underlying formal or conceptual concepts in what might first seem to be disparate works. The use of color to camouflage or blur the boundaries of an object, for example, can be seen in architect Douglas Garofalo’s 1991 Camouflage House as well as a vividly hued glass table by Johanna Grawunder (2010).
