Franz West

Bice Curiger; Robert Fleck; Neal Benezra; Franz West; Neal David Benezra

In 1995 the Austrian Franz West transformed the terraces of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles into a glorious salon, with ranks of metal sofas draped with bright African fabrics: a new kind of public art for weary museum visitors. Drawing respiration from the history of art (reclining icons such as Manet's Olympia), psychoanalysis (Freud's sofa in West's native Vienna) and a socially interactive type of art, his work is at once both personal and public. As one of Europe's best-known sculptors, West is regularly invited to such major surveys as Skulptur. Projekte in Munster and Documenta. He has gained particular recognition for incorporating the bodies of his spectators into his sculpture, producing oddly-hued forms called Passstucke ('adaptives') -- plaster sculptures designed to be worn, and which contort the wearer into bizarre positions.

Sigmar Polke: Works on Paper 1963-1974

Bice Curiger; Margit Rowell; Sigmar Polke; Michael Semff; N.Y.) Museum of Modern Art (New York; Hamburger Kunsthalle

One of the most significant artists of his generation, Sigmar Polke (b. 1941) came of age creatively around 1963 in Dusseldorf. His earliest expressive idiom was crude and humorous, its images outrageous, and its content seemingly trivial, but embedded in these works were subversive and parodic commentaries on consumer society, German postwar politics, and classic artistic conventions. Few of Polke's works demonstrate more vividly his imagination, sardonic wit, and eclectic creative process than the drawings, watercolors, and gouaches of the 1960s and early 1970s. This book accompanies the first American museum exhibition of these drawings. More than 300 works are illustrated, including small sketches in pen, larger watercolors and gouaches, others stamped with a dot-screen process, and pages from about 15 small sketchbooks. Several important and monumental works on paper from the early 1970s are illustrated in color for the first time.

Meret Oppenheim: A Different Retrospective

Bice Curiger; Meret Oppenheim; Christoph Eggenberger; Jaqueline Burckhardt; Ursula Krinzinger; Galerie Krinzinger

Introduction by Christoph Eggenberger. Texts by Bice Curiger, Jaqueline Burckhardt, Isabel Schulz and Werner Hofmann among others. Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim remained for a long time in the shadow of the surrealists who were her friends. When, in 1936, she made the "fur teacup", however, she created an icon of twentieth-century art. The fame she gained for her "fur teacup"as well as Man Ray's photographs of her from the 1930s caused her to become an icon herself. In this beautiful and thorough retrospective of her work, Oppenheim's geometric and organic sculptures, drawings, collages and objects merit attention beyond the confines of surrealism, addressing themes such as the role of women as artists and the individual in relation to Nature.
