East Side Stories: Gang Life in East LA

Distributed Art Pub; Joseph Rodriguez; Luis J. Rodriguez; Ruben Martinez; Powerhouse Books

The Myth of the urban gangster today is a powerful and widely misunderstood pop culture icon. photographer Joseph Rodriguez spent three years living, documenting and hanging out with East Side Chicano gangs and South-Central African-American gangs. The result is a striking and intimate scrapbook of 'la vida loca' in the barrio and in the 'hood, where gang-banging violence mixes head-on with classic Rockwellian portraits of family. In his revealing interview, Luis J. Rodriquez draws on his own experience as an ex-gang-member and current leading figure in the gang peace movement.

Made in L.A.: The Prints of Cirrus Editions

Distributed Art Pub; Bruce Davis

Made in L.A.: The Prints of Cirrus Editions is a catalogue raisonne of all the work produced by the celebrated printmaking shop founded in 1970 by Jean Milant. Over the last twenty-five years Milant has encouraged and enabled some of our best-known contemporary artists - including Peter Alexander, John Baldessari, Karen Carson, Vija Celmins, Ed Moses, Bruce Nauman, Joan Nelson, Lari Pittman, and Edward Ruscha - to realize their visions in what was for many of them a relatively untried medium. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art acquired the Cirrus Editions Archive in 1986; works have been added to the Archive each year since. Bruce Davis, the museum's distinguished curator of prints and drawings, has painstakingly documented the collection's holdings and in this volume provides detailed information about each work, including year produced, method of printing, dimensions, type of paper or support, inscriptions, edition size, and delineation and number of the various proofs. Dr. Davis's two essays - one a brief history of Cirrus, the other an examination of the prints of Cirrus in the context of Los Angeles art since 1970 - offer insightful and comprehensive analysis of a significant current of twentieth-century art. This volume also contains brief biographies of the sixty artists who have produced work for Cirrus and references to all pertinent bibliographical material.

Early Glass of the Ancient World: 1600 B.C.-A. D. 50

Distributed Art Pub; E. M. Stern; Marianne Stern; Birgit Schlick-Nolte

Precious Egyptian glass of the Pharaonic period, luxury wares of Hellenistic times, and brilliant mosaic glass inlays from the Ptolemaic period and the early years of the Roman Empire - products of almost all the significant glass centers of the ancient world - are here presented for the first time. This splendid array was gathered in a few decennia by Ernesto Wolf who, recognizing the importance of preserving as much as possible of the archaeological context of ancient glass, acquired groups of finds in their entirety, among them an important hoard of Hellenistic luxury glass. The product of a discerning collector with a keen eye for beauty, these 155 vessels and objects range from the beginnings of glassworking in the sixteenth century B.C. to the first century A.D. when the novel technique of glassblowing spread through the Roman Empire. Of particular value is a systematic analysis - the first to date - of the history of ancient glass technology. Presented in easy-to-understand language and accompanied by numerous comparative photographs and drawings, step-by-step descriptions of studio experiments reconstruct the techniques of the ancient artisans. The descriptive catalogue of this comprehensive collection is illustrated with full-color photographs by Peter Frankenstein and Hendrik Zwietasch who have captured the magic of ancient glass, enabling the reader to behold many small objects as through a magnifying glass. E. Marianne Stern and Birgit Schlick-Nolte meticulously researched and documented Ernesto Wolf's collection to create an essential handbook of early ancient glass.
