Review
Art at the Turn of the Millennium is a mega-exhibition--a Documenta or Venice Biennale in book form. There are 137 artists on view here in 1,200 illustrations, a nearly dizzying array of work chosen by a team of seven experts on contemporary art. Each artist gets four pages within which readers will find high-quality color illustrations, a concise commentary about the art maker, and a one- or two-sentence artist's statement. An amusing and helpful glossary, full of tricky terms from the contemporary art world like "body art," "gender surfing," and "structuralism," is thoughtfully placed at the end of the book. Arranged alphabetically, the book functions as an artifact of this particular moment in time--the very late 20th century. In its scope it identifies the transcontinental nature of the art world today. And by selecting artists who are still hard at work, Art at the Turn of the Millennium hopes to indicate some of the discipline's future directions.
Since the book functions like a dictionary of contemporary art, it is impossible to give a representative list of the artists in it. However, a ruffle of the pages turns up Tony Oursler, an L.A. artist whose video installations feature passionately articulate faces projected onto various head-shaped objects. Italian artist Pipilotti Rist makes hilarious and charming video work that is something like metamusic video. Two German photographers are included, Andreas Gursky, eminently capable of capturing the bigness of the world today, and Thomas Demand, who subjects photography to a rigorous reality check by constructing alarmingly realistic miniature sets, often architectural, which he then photographs. This is a smart and fun book that will endure on the shelves and in the hands of art enthusiasts for years to come. --Loren E. Baldwin

Condition: Gut. Umfang/Format: 575 Seiten : zahlreiche Illustrationen , 26 cm Anmerkungen: Text dt. und engl. Einbandart und Originalverkaufspreis: kartoniert : DM 49.95 3-8228-7195-8 kartoniert : DM 49.95 Sachgebiet: Bildende Kunst The art of the 1980s and 90s can seem like an impenetrable tangle of -isms that are alarmingly diverse and mutually contradictory. In the post-postmodern age, anything and everything goes. The new generation of artists has a penchant for venturing into territory not traditionally associated with high art, and designers, architects and film-makers can be found at the cutting edge. This book offers a broad overview of the international art scene at the end of the twentieth century. Four pages are devoted to each of the 137 artists featured, all of whom are listed alphabetically. Their work is introduced with pithy commentaries and displayed in more than 1,200 illustrations, documenting the latest trends in art. As the millennium draws to a close, this guide suggests directions in which the art of the future might be heading. Die Kunst der achtziger und neunziger Jahre stellt sich heute häufig als ein undurchdringliches Geflecht verschiedenster Auffassungen und Ismen dar, vielfältig und widersprüchlich. Im Zeitalter der Post-Postmoderne scheint alles möglich. Immer mehr greift die neue Künstlergeneration auch in Bereiche ein, die ursprünglich nicht zur sogenannten High Art gezählt wurden: Designer, Architekten und Filmemacher sind nur einige Beispiele für dieses Phänomen. Dieser Band gibt einen breiten Überblick über die internationale Kunstszene am Ende des Jahrhunderts. Alphabetisch aufgebaut wie ein Museumsguide, stellt das Buch auf je vier Seiten 137 künstlerische Positionen der achtziger und neunziger Jahre vor, die einen Ausblick auf die Kunst des nächsten Jahrhunderts ermöglichen. Ein kurzer Text führt jeweils in das Werk ein, insgesamt über 1200 Abbildungen dokumentieren die aktuellsten Tendenzen des Kunstbetriebs zur Jahrtausendwende. gutes Exemplar, ordentlich Gern können sie Ihr Buch per Rechnung bestellen.
