Pop Impressions Europe/USA: Prints and Multiples from the Museum of Modern Art

N.Y.) Museum of Modern Art (New York; Wendy Weitman

From the early 1960s through the early 1970s, Pop art swept the industrialized world. Iconoclastic, rebellious, and immediately popular, the new movement found its roots in an unprecedentedly prosperous consumer society. Encouraged by galleries and publishers who catered to a new collectors' market, many Pop artists were drawn to the creation of editions on paper and in multiples. The Prints and Illustrated Books Collection at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, is a rich repository of this work. Here, 60 vibrant examples by such American icons as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and by such Europeans as Richard Hamilton, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gerhard Richter, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Sigmar Polke, are organized by mass media consumer culture, politics, erotica, and other themes. Wendy Weitman's introductory essay emphasizes the intense interchange among young artists that led to a ricochet of Pop imagery and ideology back and forth across the Atlantic.

Sigmar Polke: Works on Paper 1963-1974

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

Fernand Leger

N.Y.) Museum of Modern Art (New York; Fernand Leger; Carolyn Lanchner; Kristen Erickson; Matthew Affron; Jodi Hauptman; Carolyn Lancher; Beth Handler

Fernand Leger (1881-1955) is the only modern artist to choose modernity itself as his subject. From his early series Contrastes de formes (1913-14), the first fully abstract works to emerge from Cubism, through his last realistic paintings of construction workers from the early 1950s, Leger's lifelong subject was the pulse and dynamism of contemporary life. This book accompanies a major retrospective exhibition that opens at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, on February 15, 1998 -- the first comprehensive, in-depth survey of Leger's work in the United States since the artist's death. Of all the major painters of his generation, Leger was the most adroit negotiator in the century's long quarrel between abstraction and representation. Here, superb reproductions of both paintings and drawings span all aspects of his work. The texts include a notable account of Leger's experiences in the United States during his several visits and wartime residency and a look at the conceptual links between his art and American culture.

In Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, the third issue in the Studies in Modern Art series, William Rubin traces the themes of sex and mortality in Picasso's work, examines the distillation of these ideas from the personal to the universal, follows the changes in style and composition as Picasso reworked the painting, and finally, analyzes the reception of this work down to the present day.
