9 783858 816504 Matisse—Metamorphoses

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) is revered worldwide as a revolutionary painter and loved for his collages, or papiers découpés, the icons of his late work. His paintings and drawings for a long time overshadowed his achievements as a sculptor. Yet his Back Series, four bas-reliefs showing a nude, created between 1908 and 1930, are widely recognized as a milestone in modern sculpture. Starting out from the naturalistic depiction, Matisse gradually transformed it to reach a radically abstracted figure. Each of the four original plaster casts represents a decisive moment of this artistic process. This transformative process has parallels in Matisse’s painting and drawing. Pub- lished in conjunction with major exhibitions at Kunsthaus Zürich and Musée Matisse in Nice, marking the artist’s 150th anniversary, this is the first book to explore the relation between metamorphosis and feedback in both main fields of the artist’s work. Documents of his diverse sources of inspiration for his sculptures—photographs of nudes, examples from African and ancient art—as well as images featuring Matisse at work as sculptor, round out this volume. It is a welcome addition to any art library, highlighting the lesser known side of this modern master.

Kunsthaus Zürich is one of Europe’s leading art museums. Its permanent collection comprises masterpieces from medieval to contemporary art with a focus on French impressionism, post-impressionism, and classical modernism.

Joel Shapiro Sculpture and Works on Paper 1969–2019

Born in New York in 1941, Joel Shapiro is one of the most significant artists of his generation. Since the first public showing of his work in 1969 as part of the landmark Anti-Illusion: Procedures/Materials exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, he has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. Shapiro is most renowned for the distinctive language of dynamic sculpture, blurring the lines between abstraction and figuration, that he developed in the 1980s and 90s. Yet he first gained wide recognition through his earliest New York shows in the 1970s for introducing common forms of often diminutive size. Since then he has continued to push the material and conceptual boundaries of sculpture by working in a number of materials and employing various working methods. Joel Shapiro: Sculpture and Works on Paper 1969–2019 is the first book in over twenty years to survey the artist’s entire working career. In an extensive essay, art historian Richard Shiff provides a fresh and incisive examination of Shapiro’s oeuvre and working process. With more than two hundred striking full-color illustrations, this is a long-anticipated and much-needed survey of this vital and essential American artist.

Richard Shiff is the Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art and the director of the Center for the Study of Modernism at the University of Texas at Austin.

René Burri—Explosions of Sight Explosion of the View

Swiss photographer René Burri (1933–2014) has been wherever history happened. A member of Magnum Photos cooperative as of 1955, he photographed in the Middle East and South-East Asia, recording the Six-Day (1967) and Yom Kippur (1973) Wars, as well as the Vietnam War during the 1960s. His many travels took him to Japan and China, across Europe and the Americas to report many of 20th century’s major events. His extraordinary sense for people, their personality and circumstances let him create portraits of celebrities and capture ordinary men and women alike. His iconic picture of Che Guevara with cigar, shot in 1963, is one of the world’s most famous and widely reproduced photographic portraits ever. Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée hosts the Fondation René Burri, established in 2013 for the conservation of Burri’s archive. Published in conjunction with an exhibition in spring 2020, the book draws on this unique source. It brings together for the first time Burri’s entire body of work, photographic and non-photographic. Photographs feature alongside previously unpublished documents, book designs, exhibition projects, travel diaries, collages, watercolors, and other objects he collected. It offers a new, multifaceted and uniquely intimate view of one of the world’s greatest photo reporters.

Tatyana Franck is director of Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée since 2015. Prior to this she has directed the Archives Claude Picasso in Geneva as well as a number of important photography collections, and has curated various exhibitions.

Jan Groover, Photographer Laboratory of Forms

This book offers a discovery: for the first time, a comprehensive monograph explores the entire œuvre of photographic artist Jan Groover (1943–2012). Generously illustrated, it traces Groover’s career from the beginnings as a self-taught painter and draughtswoman in America to her late years in western France. Essays on her life and work, her significance as an artist, alongside a very personal contribution by her husband, French artist and critic Bruce Boice, complement the images. Groover obtained her formal education as an artist at New York’s Pratt Institute and Ohio State University. In the 1970s she turned to photography, without ever giving up painting and drawing entirely. She developed a distinct artistic attitude that let her amalgamate both disciplines. Especially for her carefully composed still-lifes she earned much recognition. Experiments with older photographic techniques, such as platinum print and early 20th-century large-format cameras, are characteristic for the late work.

Stephen Willats Languages of Dissent

A new encounter Born in London in 1943, Stephen Willats is a pioneer of conceptual art and has, over with Stephen the course of more than five decades, created a multi-faceted body of work. This new book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich’s Migros Museum Willats, pioneer für Gegenwartskunst in summer 2019, focuses on two key aspects of Willats’ art. of conceptual art Cybernetics, the control of dynamic systems, in which he has taken a keen interest, serves him as method, aesthetic vocabulary, as well as a formal model. Subcultures that promote non-conformism and self-determination constitute another focal point in his wide-ranging work. The book offers a new approach to Willats’ art from multiple different perspectives. A comprehensive selection of both earlier and more recent works, some of them published here for the first time, is complemented by essays. The authors investigate that particular creative sphere in between cybernetics, architecture, and subculture within which Willats questions normative, regulating power structures and aims to discover personal freedom and alternative thought patterns.

A global survey of The appearance of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the Acquired Immune four decades’ art Deficiency Syndrome (HIV / AIDS) in the early 1980s and its subsequent rapid spread around the world has left deep marks in society. The illness and its effects on society and activism have also caused manifold responses by artists and activists in many countries. in response to United by AIDS, published in conjunction with a group show on the topic of loss, HIV / AIDS remembrance, activism and art in response to HIV / AIDS in summer 2019 at Zurich’s Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, sheds light on the multifaceted and complex interrelation between art and HIV / AIDS from the 1980s to the present. It exam- ines the blurred boundaries between art production and HIV / AIDS activism and showcases artists who played—and still play leading roles in this discourse. Alongside images of artworks and brief texts on the represented artists, the book features voices from the past and present. Essays by Douglas Crimp, Alexander García Düttmann, Raphael Gygax, Elsa Himmer, Theodore (Ted) Kerr, Elisabeth Lebovici, and Nurja Ritter broaden the view of the international discourse on HIV/AIDS and society’s confrontation with the disease.

Charlotte Perriand Complete Works. Volume 4: 1969–1999

The concluding fourth volume of this most comprehensive monograph ever on Char- lotte Perriand (1903–1999) covers the last three decades of her long career. At the core is the Les Arcs skiing resort in the French Alps, where Perriand played a key role in all aspects of the project. A pioneer of bioclimatic architecture, she oversaw the urban and architectural design of Arc 1600 and Arc 1800 and created the interiors and entire outfitting down to cutlery and china for the more than 4,500 apartments. Les Arcs, an extraordinary undertaking both in sheer size and the extent of Perriand’s contribution, marks the culmination of her research on alpine housing in unison with nature. The book also features number of projects—housing and art spaces—between Paris and Tokyo, in which Perriand aimed once more to push the borders of a specific modern, cultivated way of living. Moreover, it offers a comprehensive appraisal of seventy years’ work that manifests the creative force and vision of this extraordinary woman, one of the most eminent protagonists of modern architecture and design. a preface by Michelle Perrot, French historian and pioneer of gender studies. The books’ preface is contributed by French historian and pioneer of gender studies Michelle Perrot.

Jacques Barsac has directed a number of internationally successful docu- mentary films on historic personalities, such as Charlotte Perriand, Le Cor- busier, Jean Cocteau, and Winston Churchill. Since 2001 he has been carry- ing out extensive research on Perriand’s life and work.

Soviet Design From Constructivism to Modernism. 1920–1980

The former Soviet Union has left a vast heritage in interior design that is largely un- know in the West. For the first time ever, this book offers a comprehensive survey of the country’s interior design culture between revolutionary Avant-Garde and late socialist Modernism. Drawing on archives that were inaccessible until recently and featuring a wealth of previously unpublished material, it documents the achievements of seven decades in the former socialist empire. Soviet design is often discredited as massive, non-ergonomic, and monotonous. Yet a remarkable variety of original styles have emerged behind the iron curtain. The 1920s were marked by Constructivism, Rationalism, and Suprematism. Early in Stalin’s reign, a distinct variety of Neo-Classicism appeared alongside what became known as Agitational Furniture, inspired by the regime’s propaganda. The 1930s brought Soviet Art Deco and eventually Stalinist Empire with some of the Soviet Union’s most iconic buildings. Mass-produced modernist and functional furniture prevailed in the 1950s before the Golden Age of Soviet interior design during the 1960s, when clearly visible influences by early Avant-Garde and the Bauhaus returned. The country’s stagnation and eventual decline in the 1970s and 1980s lead to the visionary work of a new generation of designers remaining largely unrealized.

Kristina Krasnyanskaya is an art historian founder of Heritage Gallery in Moscow. She has been curator of the 2015 exhibition Soviet Design: From Constructivism to Modernism: 1920s – 1960s in collaboration with Mos- cow’s Shchusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow.

Design from the Alps 1920–2020 Tyrol South Tyrol Trentino

Over centuries, the transnational Alpine region Tyrol—South Tyrol—Trentino (Alto Adige) has developed along ancient trade routes between Germany and Austria on one and northern Italy on the other side of the Alps. Similar to the region’s modern and contemporary architecture, its product design in many cases is rooted in a rich local tradition of craftsmanship. Yet since the 1920s, this multilingual region has also proven its remarkable openness to European modernism’s most progressive movements and become an unexpected laboratory for technical and formal exploration in the middle of the continent. Design from the Alps, published to coincide with an exhibition at Merano Arte in autumn 2019, tells the story of a century of product design from Tyrol—South Tyrol— Trentino. Featured artists include, among others, Fortunato Depero (1892–1960), whose experiments were inspired by the Secondo Futurismo, Gino Pollini (1903–91), a pioneer of the interwar period, as well as the celebrated architects and designers Lois Welzen- bacher (1889–1955), Clemens Holzmeister (1886–1983), and Ettore Sottsas (1917–2007). Lavishly illustrated, the book follows the many protagonists of this at the same time heterogenous and collectively strong scene and offers an insightful tour d’horizon of the manifaceted original design culture of western Austria and northern Italy.

Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, globalized trade, media, and materials used. For many years, Congolese artists have been exploring colonialism, pros- and reflecting upon the effects of globalized trade, colonialism, proselytization, and elytization, and virtual boundaries. For the first time, this book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich’s virtual boundaries Museum Rietberg, features art works and photographs collected by German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo in 1938–39. They bear witness of the period’s extraordinary creativity and innovativeness as well as of the collector’s own idea of Congo. They are juxtaposed with works by contemporary Congolese artists and complemented by essays that investigate the fiction of Congo both as an African and Western World imagination. Thus, the book links the past with the utopia of contemporary artistic production in central Africa.

(both too numerous to count), the selection aims at decisions made by Feuerman that, in this friend’s opinion, are revealing of her committed, deliberate and self-confident way of thinking. Few artists are so closely identified with their own works as this courageous modern sculptor.

1. In November 1975, Feuerman received a coveted commission to design a cover for National Lampoon magazine

Famous for its attention-grabbing covers, the avant-garde Lampoon knew Feuerman’s designs for record covers and rock concert publicity, including the Rolling Stones. Since the theme was “Work,” she illustrated the saying, “Keep your nose to the grindstone.” But rather than a painting in her usual style, she changed her technique entirely. The Lampoon cover is a close-up photograph of her first ever life- cast of a model’s face, realistically painted with spurts of blood. The graphic impact is exciting, even terrifying. Her willingness to take such a risk was typical of her fearlessness. Keep your nose to the grindstone Carole painting 2. The story of Catalina began on a beach in 1977 Grande Catalina, 1981

When Carole Feuerman turned to sculpture in 1978, she took Hyperrealism in a new direction: she got personal. Photorealism, the term used for paintings, had made its debut in the 1960s as an off-shoot of Pop Art. Richard Estes’ paintings of subway cars and Duane Hanson’s sculpture of a supermarket housewife in curlers were overt satires of junk-food culture. There was an implicit irony in the idea of a handmade art vaunting the objectivity of photographs. Born in 1945, Feuerman was a full generation behind Duane Hanson (1925–1996) and a few years younger than John De Andrea (born 1941), the two sculptors with whom she ultimately came to comprise the leading trio of American Hyperrealists. Al- though Hanson and De Andrea were important 1960s precedents for her realism, Feuerman’s sculptures reflected her deeper affinity with the sympathetic narratives of the monochromatic statues by George Segal (1924–2000). She chose the name of Catalina, because islands represent isolation from other lands. “When a swimmer submerges into the water they escape the stresses of the outside world, and they emerge cleansed and invigorated.” The water beads up on the swimmer’s glowing arms and shoulders, yet Catalina is not about the

Carole A. Feuerman: a pioneer of Hyperrealism in sculpture

Fifty Years of Looking Good

John T. Spike

In August of 1977, a young, talented illustrator sat down on Jones Beach, Long Island, to do some thinking. At thirty-two years old, Carole Feuerman was ten years into an award-winning career as a commercial artist in New York City. Married and divorced, with three children, she was working day and night to keep all the pieces together. Now she was also contemplating a major change. Could she leave illustration behind and begin a new career in the arts, as an independent sculptor of her own ideas? Sitting on the beach, she saw a swimmer emerging from the sea, water- drops streaming down her face. “She looked proud, like she had just accomplished something great. With goggles, hair slicked back, I saw her step out of herself and come into a new reality. Then I figured out how to do it. That woman gave me the idea to make my first swimmer sculpture, Snorkel.” Three years later, she made a second swimmer, this time sparing the snorkeling props, and focusing her attention on the young woman’s radiant, glistening face. She gave the sculpture the name of an island, Catalina. Fifty Years of Looking Good is the fourth substantial book about Feuer- man’s career, which has been on a continuous upward trajectory for decades now, as these copious pages will attest. Her childhood propensity towards art, family history, schooling, success as an illustrator, and first two decades in sculpture were admirably described in an essay by Eleanor Munro in her first book, Feuerman Sculptures, 1999 (2nd rev. ed., 2010). Through the years, Feuerman’s work has also received attentive interpretations by leading critics such as Robert Kuspit, John Yau, Peter Frank, David S. Rubin, Stephen C. Foster, Edward Rubin, not to mention the present writer. After fifty years it seems right to single out a few “defining moments” in the career of this important living artist. These moments mostly take place over years: indeed the last, no. 7 in this list, is still underway. Rather than exhibitions or sales

Carole A. Feuerman Fifty Years of Looking Good

Carole A. Feuerman is celebrated as a pioneer and one of America’s major exponents of Hyperrealism in sculpture, alongside Duane Hanson and John De Andrea. Born 1945 and educated in New York and Philadelphia, she began as an illustrator before turning to sculpture in the 1970s, soon gaining much recognition and early success. Her work has been displayed in many group shows and solo exhibitions at private galleries and public museums, as well as at major art fairs, in America, Europe, and Asia. Over five decades, Feuerman has created visual manifestations of stories telling of strength, survival, and balance. Her subject matter is the human figure, most often a woman in an introspective moment of exuberant self-consciousness shaded by erotic lassitude. Feuerman’s works represent a female state of mind rather that an alluring body meant to attract the male gaze. They suggest that women look at themselves differently from men looking at them, that a woman is more innately creative than a man. This book is the most comprehensive survey of Feuerman’s œuvre to date. Lavishly illustrated in color throughout, it demonstrates the variety of materials and media she uses and highlights the specific qualities of her figures.

Leonor Fini Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings

Entirely her own: Leonor Fini (1907–1996) is widely considered one of the most significant female art- th Leonor Fini ists and artistic personalities of the 20 century. Her work came to prominence in the seminal 1936 Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism exhibition at New York’s MoMA. Fini’s paintings present a uniquely female approach to Surrealism. Never joining the Surrealist movement, she was entirely on her own—self-taught, self-created, known for her fierce independence, provocative panache, and elegance. A prolific painter, she also worked extensively in book illustration, printmaking, writing, as well as creating designs for plays, ballets, operas, and film. This new book is the definitive catalogue raisonné of Leonor Fini’s more than 1,100 oil paintings. Lavishly illustrated in color throughout, it offers essays on the artist’s oeuvre by Fini-authorities Richard Overstreet and Neil Zukerman along with a concise updated biography by British art historian Peter Webb.

Pavillon Le Corbusier Zurich The Restoration of an Architectural Jewel

Restoring Situated on the shore of the Lake Zurich, Le Corbusier’s exhibition pavilion is his last Le Corbusier’s realized design. Based on his Modulor proportional system and at the scale of a single- family home, it demonstrates the potential of prefabricated elements to form a perfect last design space for art and design. Commissioned in 1960 by Heidi Weber, Zurich-based gallery owner and patron of Le Corbusier the visual artist, this structure in steel and glass represents pivotal aspects of his architectural philosophy and also points to the future. Architects Silvio Schmed and Arthur Rüegg have carefully restored the Pavillon Le Corbusier to its original state, including the reconstruction of missing pieces of furniture and luminaires. This book documents their research and the restored building, featuring previously unpublished historic photographs and documents alongside newly commissioned images by Georg Aerni.

Silvio Schmed is a Zurich-based architect and interior designer and has realized numerous restorations and reconstructions of historic and modern architectural monuments in Switzerland.

Arthur Rüegg is a Zurich-based architect, professor emeritus of architecture and construction at ETH Zurich, and an expert on Le Corbusier. He frequently collaborates with Silvio Schmed on restorations and reconstructions of Swiss architectural monuments.

Architecture of Infinity The Magic of Sacred Spaces. A Film by Christoph Schaub

A sensual and Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on one’s sensing journey outlook, may transcend to infinity. How can this be imagined? What goes beyond it? Swiss filmmaker Christoph Schaub sets out for a personal journey through time and through sacred space. He starts in his childhood, when his fascination with sacred buildings began, spaces beyond our and also his wondering about beginnings and ends. In dialogue with architects Peter built world Zumthor, Peter Märkli, and Álvaro Siza Vieira, artists James Turrell and Cristina Iglesias, and musician Jojo Mayer, Schaub explores the magic of sacred spaces, a term that for him represents much more than just churches. Architecture of Infinity traces spirituality in architecture and fine arts as well as in nature, and even over and above the limits of thought. The lightly floating camera immerses the viewer in somnambulistic images, taking him on a sensual and sensing journey through vast spaces, guiding his eye towards the star-spangled sky’s infinity and the depths of the ocean. Past and present, primeval times and light years, it is all there.

Christoph Schaub, born 1958 in Zurich, is one of Switzerland’s most distinguished film directors. Besides of documentaries on various subjects he has also realized many dramas and comedies.
