Tate: Contemporary Art Decoded

Tate: Contemporary Art Decoded

Autor: Jessica Cerasi

Número de Páginas: 284

What is contemporary art, and how did art come to be what it is today? How can we understand what a work of art means; and can't just about anything be called art these days? Contemporary Art Decoded takes ten key questions about contemporary art and uses them to what you're looking at, how it works, and why it matters. Steering clear of jargon, this book digs deep into the core ideas and concepts behind the art. It features some work you'll recognise, and some you won't, from some of the most exciting artists working today, such as Olafur Eliasson, Anish Kapoor, Yayoi Kusama and Zanele Muholi. This book is guaranteed to make your next trip to a gallery more rewarding. Chapters include: - What is contemporary art? - Where did it come from? - Where do you draw the line? - Does it matter who makes it? - Does it have to mean something? - Can anything be art? - What about art for art's sake? - Has it all been done before? - Does it have to be so serious? - What's next?

Tate Britain

Tate Britain

The 100 artworks illustrated in this guide cover 500 turbulent years of British history, during which the peoples of the British Isles joined together in an uneasy union, created the largest Empire ever known and emerged as the first great capitalist economy on earth. From Hogarth to Turner, from Stanley Spencer to Bridget Riley and Lucien Freud, the vitality and quality of British art across the centuries shines out from the works of the nation's most famous artists. The landscape paintings of Gainsborough and Constable, the meticulous creations of the Pre-Raphaelites and the penetrating figure studies of Bacon and Hockney provide some of the most familiar images in Western art. Among contemporary artists, Gillian Wearing and Jeremy Deller, Chris Ofili and Damien Hirst deploy a dizzying array of media to produce works laced with a typically British black humour and ability to shock.

Treasures of British Art

Autor: Robert Upstone

Número de Páginas: 0

This richly illustrated Tiny Folio(TM) volume surveys British painting, watercolors, and sculpture from the sixteenth century to the present. With masters such as William Blake, William Hogarth, George Stubbs, Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Mallord William Turner, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney, the Tate Gallery offers work to please every taste.

The Tate Guide to Modern Art Terms

The Tate Guide to Modern Art Terms

Autor: Simon Wilson , Jessica Lack

Número de Páginas: 324

"How many times have you read the caption next to a work of art in a gallery, or a review of a contemporary art exhibition in a magazine and found yourself none the wiser? For many, the language in which modern art is described can be even more mystifying than the art itself. Now, a fully updated and expanded edition of the bestselling Tate Guide to Modern Art Terms offers a clear and reliable guide through the confusing terrain, with more than 450 pithy entries on the full range of modern and contemporary art. Drawing on the expertise of the most visited modern art gallery in the world, the book provides a comprehensive, authoritative and completely up-to-date resource for gallery-goers, art students and general readers alike, comprehensive in scope but small enough to fit into a bag or pocket. From Abstract Expressionism and Body Art through to Young British Artists (YBAs) and Group Zero, the book ranges in time from the dawn of Impressionism through to the digital age. Every term -- whether a theme, movement, medium or practice -- is defined with clarity and precision, with new entries on a broad range of subjects including Aesthetics, Afrofuturism, Chance, Ethnography,...

Towards Tate Modern

Towards Tate Modern

Autor: Caroline Donnellan

Número de Páginas: 212

Towards Tate Modern provides a new interdisciplinary account of Tate’s shifting position as a national arts institution. The book examines how earlier government directives impacted on Tate, which saw the organisation refocusing its aims and resulted in it pioneering new models for working across the public and private sectors. The decade prior to the opening of Tate Modern witnessed a changing political, economic, cultural and social landscape. As London was rebuilding its own vision, Tate re-configured its role as a public museum and gallery by engaging with the market. Tate re-imagined what a public museum and gallery can do, what it can look like and where it can be and, in doing so, responded to a new kind of audience with a larger appetite than before. Re-cast as a cultural and social forum, Tate Modern turned itself into a popular public event. This research considers how Tate Modern generated a set of new debates and what this might mean for the future role of the public museum and gallery. Towards Tate Modern will be of particular interest to academics and students, art practitioners and policy makers working in the fields of museum studies, policy studies, cultural...

Memories of an art collector

Memories of an art collector

Autor: Jorge Helft , Magalí Saleme

Número de Páginas: 103

Memories of an Art Collector arises from the need to gather, organise and disseminate the experience, memories and reflections of Jorge Helft as a collector of contemporary art, manager and promoter of cultural activities, and as a privileged witness of the national art scene since the late 1940s. Different aspects of his rich background are revealed in the intergenerational dialogue he establishes with the co-author, in which he reviews his main collections, his interest in and support for fundamental Argentine artists —such as Grete Stern, Antonio Berni, Líbero Badii, Clorindo Testa, Alberto Heredia, Edgardo A. Vigo, Jorge de la Vega, Alberto Greco, Juan Carlos Distéfano, Víctor Grippo, Pablo Suárez, Liliana Porter, Graciela Sacco and Guillermo Kuitca— and his close ties with other collectors, managers, key players and personalities from the international art scene over the course of four decades. The book is aimed at anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes of art management and art collecting in the last century. The reader will find here a fluid, personal and entertaining narrative that weaves anecdotes, memories and thoughts into a valuable testimony.

When Turner died in 1851, the general view of an artist's late work was one of decline. Indeed, Turner's own painting from 1845 onwards was described as indulgent, eccentric and 'repulsive', and even his devoted champion John Ruskin commented on its 'wholly inferior value'. However, from the early 1900s there was a major reassessment of Turner's later paintings and sketches. Commentators hailed his study of light as a visionary precursor to the ideas of the Impression­ists. This continued into the twentieth century, with curato­rial choices in some museums presenting Turner's late and unfinished work as distinctly modern. Through a number of key themes and studies into his subject matter, technique and personal activities, this new analysis challenges the historical conceptions of Turner's late style. The idea that as an elderly artist Turner was seen as intro­verted and detached by the Victorian art world is set against the fact that his paintings from 1835 were some of the most popular, accessible and intellectual that he created. Mean­while, questioning the notion that Turner's late work articu­lated a conclusive, radical vision that was heedless of public reaction, the...

Privatizar la cultura

Privatizar la cultura

Autor: Chin-tao Wu

Número de Páginas: 378

La esponsorización y la implicación empresarial en el ámbito de las artes visuales se han convertido en rasgos cada vez más frecuentes de nuestra vida cultural. De las exposiciones auspiciadas por Absolut Vodka al uso del autorretrato de Van Gogh por parte de ABN-AMOR para publicitar sus tarjetas de crédito, hemos sido testigos de un nuevo tipo de patronazgo en el que la unión del talento individual y el marketing multinacional está comenzando a difuminar las viejas y cómodas distinciones entre lo público y lo privado. El presente libro constituye un ambicioso intento de detallar las vías por las que los valores mercantiles y el ethos del libre mercado han permeado la esfera de las artes visuales desde la década de 1980. Al hilo de la cartografía de los diversos deslizamientos en la política pública que facilitaron por primera vez la entrada de grandes corporaciones en el ámbito cultural, Chin-tao Wu analiza el papel de los gobiernos a la hora de inocular los principios del libre mercado en las instituciones públicas encargadas de la gestión del mundo del arte, en particular el Arts Council en Gran Bretaña y el National Endowment for the Arts en Estados Unidos....

La neoinquisición

La neoinquisición

Autor: Axel Kaiser

Número de Páginas: 305

Una obra lúcida y vigorosa cuya lectura no dejará a nadie indiferente. Su autor, Axel Kaiser, explica lo que a su juicio está sucediendo en las sociedades occidentales y que terminará por quebrar la sana convivencia. Axel Kaiser centra ahora su reflexión en la corrección política desmesurada —que intentan imponer ciertas ideologías— y que está provocando el colapso de la esfera pública como espacio de diálogo y debate de ideas. Esta práctica ha desencadenado verdaderas “cacerías de brujas” hacia quienes digan o piensen lo contrario a lo socialmente aceptado. Así, la falta de libertad de expresión, acompañada de una irracionalidad fanática, nos llevaría a un tipo de pensamiento único, que es el que suele imperar en épocas oscuras de la historia. Un ensayo profundo, con la claridad argumentativa propia de su autor, que encenderá grandes polémicas, y que sin duda enriquecerá la conversación sobre el destino de nuestras sociedades.
