Urinals, vacuum cleaners, basketballs, glass sheets... livestock? This study of key moments in the history of ready-made and object-based art features Damien Hirst (London), Gerhard Merz (Munich), Jeff Koons (New York) and their shared historical point of reference, Marcel Duchamp (Paris and New York, 1887-1968). Recently a poll of 500 British critics called Duchamp's 1917 Fountain the most influential Modern artwork ever created. Even more recently, a man assaulted it with a hammer at the Centre Pompidou, confirming that, nearly a century later, emotions are still running high. Object-based art, which grew into a major twentieth-century trend and continues today, took its cue from the ready-made, and Re-Object explores the continuation and transformation of both lines in contemporary artistic practice, via large-format photographs and analytical essays on the artists.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 23 x 30 cm, 188 Seiten/pages - Featuring Gerhard Merz, Damien Hirst, and Jeff Koons, "Re-Object" presents a number of current positions that are characterized by a strategy of expression for which the object is both starting-point and focus. Historically, this approach is rooted in the work of Marcel Duchamp, who will also be represented in the show with several pieces. In "Mythos", which constitutes a contrary and at the same time related position, works by Douglas Gordon, Matthew Barney, and Cy Twombly will be shown in conjunction with those of Joseph Beuys. Each catalogue contains two essays introducing the subject, one treating it from a historical perspective, the other examining it from the point of view of contemporary developments in the arts. In addition, various noted authorities will contribute essays on each of the four artists. Each of these books, richly illustrated with photos of the artists' work as well as large-format images of many of the installations at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, documents how the selected artists fall under the themes of "object" or "myth." Biographies and lists of exhibitions and bibliographies round off this survey of two major trends in twentieth-century art. Seller Inventory # ABE-1617108106463
