FOLK TREASURES OF MEXICO: THE NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER COLLECTION is a comprehensive volume documenting more than 150 pieces from one of the most exceptional collections of Mexican folk art in the U.S. It accompanies the exhibit on view at the Tacoma Art Museum until February 19th. Along with text by author Marion Oettinger, Jr., director of the San Antonio Museum of Art, there are detailed descriptions and colour photographs of the rare objects from the 18th-20th centuries and an account of Rockefeller’s life-long fascination with Mexican culture.
FRED HERZOG: PHOTOGRAPHS prefaced with an excellent biography by Claudia Gochmann and featuring essays by Jeff Wall, Sarah Milroy and Douglas Coupland, this large-format volume showcases the extensive work of German-born Herzog who began photographing Vancouver with Kodachrome slide film in 1953. The highly pictorial and evocative images are often filled with irony, contradictions and alienation.
LUIS CAMNITZER was published for the recent major exhibitions of his work in Zurich, New York and Vancouver. Camnitzer, born in Germany, spent his early years in Uruguay before moving to New York. A prominent conceptual artist for over 50 years, he has created a body of work rooted in the American Conceptualist and Minimalist movements of the 1960s and 1970s.The large hardcover book presents his installations, drawings, prints and photographs, and provides an extensive exhibition history as well as three scholarly articles about his work.
ISSAC LAYMAN: PARADISE was published in conjunction with the recent Frye Art Museum exhibition of Layman’s psychologically charged photographic images based on fabricated visions of objects and spaces found in his Seattle home. Museum Director, Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker, surveys the artist’s complex themes of escapism, discontent and an imagined perfection in the context of dreams of utopia in suburbia, secession from the city, nostalgia for paradise, and the work of fellow artists including the late Gordon Matta-Clark. Included are 37 colour illustrations and an essay by the exceptional Seattle poet and author, Doug Nufer.
KARLHEINZ WEINBERGER: JEANS is an unusually tall, hardcover book of black and white portraits of men wearing jeans. Gay, straight, tall, short, young, old, casual or formal, friendly, erotic or defiant, their portraits were taken by Swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006). A self-taught photographer, Weinberger began creating his thematic portfolios of Swiss and Italian culture in the late 1950s. The black and white images, many printed in privacy, are brilliant documentations of an era.
SHORE, FOREST AND BEYOND: ART FROM THE AUDAIN COLLECTION illustrates work by 100 acclaimed North American artists with an emphasis on traditional and contemporary First Nations art. The diverse collection includes paintings by Emily Carr and E.J. Hughes, Mexican modernists and contemporary artists, Roy Arden, Attila Richard Lukacs and Angela Grossmann. Incorporating essays by Ian Thom and Grant Arnold, the book was published for the Vancouver Art Gallery’s 2011 exhibit.
BILL REID AND THE HAIDA CANOE editor Martine J. Reid shares an appreciation for the most powerful and fundamental form of Northwest Coast art: the dugout cedar canoe. Published as a companion guide to the exhibit at the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art in Vancouver, BC, the comprehensive book is filled with historical and illustrative photographs showing the physical, mythical and metaphoric role of the canoe in Haida life, numerous on-site photos, and samples of Reid’s writing and drawings.
GEORGE NELSON: ARCHITECT, WRITER, DESIGNER, TEACHER celebrates the work of the seminal mid-20th century designer, George Nelson (1908-1986) whose 100th-birthday anniversary was marked by a major retrospective organized by the Vitra Design Museum in Germany. The retrospective is currently showing at the Bellevue Arts Museum until February 12th. This extensively illustrated publication includes eight essays by leading design historians and many previously unpublished images of Nelson’s Modernist works.
CHRIS CHARLEBOIS, RECENT WORKS is a small hardcover catalogue of paintings by Quebec-born artist Chris Charlebois, represented by Kurbatoff Gallery, Vancouver. He has described his portraits of obscure wilderness as depicting “broken and battered branches and their struggle to survive.” Densely knit foliage and underbrush is rife with traces of impasto left by the artist’s palette knives, plastic forks and other homemade tools. The book introduces a selection of more than 80 colour reproductions of outstanding paintings created during the past three years.
ÉCHOS D'UN AUTRE MONDE: JANINE CARREAU ET PIERRE GAUVREAU features paintings by recently-deceased Quebec artist Pierre Gauvreau (1922-2011) and his third wife Janine Carreau, a painter, photographer and Gauvreau’s agent in recent years. The 47 brightly coloured pieces in the 2011 exhibit were described as “exuberant” and a “celebration of life and of freedom from the strict cleric culture of mid-century Quebec.” The impressive hardcover catalogue contains large colour plates and essays by Ray Ellenwood, Gilles LaPointe and Charles Binamé.
