Alongside contemporaries such as Carl Andre and Donald Judd, Robert Ryman''s radical painting has fundamentally shifted the definitions and boundaries of art. Spanning four decades, this book charts the gradual evolution of consensus about the meaning of his painting. The most significant essays and exhibition reviews have been collated into one volume, including texts written by some of the most influential art historians and critics. . Some essays appear here in English for the first time. With an introductory essay by Vittorio Colaizzi." -- publisher''s statement.

Paperback. Condition: New. The image of a tortured genius working in near isolation has long dominated our conceptions of the artist's studio. Examples are abound: think Jackson Pollock dripping resin on a cicada carcass in his shed in the Hamptons. But times have changed; ever since Andy Warhol declared his art space a 'factory', artists have begun to envision themselves as the leaders of production teams, and their sense of what it means to be in the studio has altered just as dramatically as their practices. "The Studio Reader" pulls back the curtain from the art world to reveal the real activities behind artistic production. What does it mean to be in the studio? What is the space of the studio in the artist's practice? How do studios help artists envision their agency and, beyond that, their own lives? This forward-thinking anthology features an all-star array of contributors, ranging from Svetlana Alpers, Bruce Nauman, and Robert Storr to Daniel Buren, Carolee Schneemann, and Buzz Spector, each of whom locates the studio both spatially and conceptually - at the center of an art world that careens across institutions, markets, and disciplines.A companion for anyone engaged with the spectacular sites of art at its making, "The Studio Reader" reconsiders this crucial space as an actual way of being that illuminates our understanding of both artists and the world they inhabit.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 190, [2] pages. Oversized volume, measuring 12 inches by 9-1/4 inches. Profusely illustration with color photographs. Includes a Foreword by Billie Jean King. Also includes a Preface and an Introduction. This book features one hundred female athletes at the best: passionate, determined, and strong. Each of these extraordinary women, beautifully photographed by Jodi Buren, offers in her own words stories of triumph, excellence, and courage--allowing us a glimpse of the personality and spirit behind the long lists of athletic achievements. Included in this collection are Olympic medalists and hopefuls, X Gamers, and competitors in the Special Olympics and Paralympics. This book is a powerful tribute to the importance of the work of the Women's Sports Foundation, founded by Billie Jean King. Jodi Buren is a portrait photographer whose work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, and Life. While on assignment for Sports Illustrated, Jodi was moved by the spirit and energy of a team of women basketball players and their fans. Inspired by this passion for women in sport, Ms. Buren began shooting SuperWomen. In honor of its thirtieth anniversary, the Women's Sports Foundation celebrates the accomplishments of one hundred female sports superstars, including Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Picabo Street, Bonnie Blair, Chris Evert, Sarah Hughes, and other less-famous athletes including marathoner Loretta Claiborne, golfer Michelle Wie, and Paralympic champion Aimee Mullins. From Publisher's Weekly: Combining sweeping photographic spreads with first-person reflections, this book pays tribute to the female sports figures-both current competitors and silver-haired veterans-who have risen to the top of their game. Buren, a portrait photographer for Sports Illustrated, offers 100 varied, sensitive photographs of athletes-some poised for action, some in repose, some with a look of steely resolve. Each athlete s own words accompany her image, as she recounts the obstacles, the inspirations and the milestones along the way to success. The athletes aren't always deeply eloquent about their sports-and anyway, there isn't much space for eloquence in a volume dedicated to portraits-but their passion is palpable. From adventure racing to polo to snowboarding to wrestling, women athletes have made their mark, Buren demonstrates. An inspirational book, especially for young girls, it offers poignant memories (as in Billie Jean King s foreword) and powerful advice. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Jodi Buren (Photographer) and Ronnie Smith (Photog (illustrator).…

May 18, 2014 and May 25 ? August 3. "Other Primary Structures revisited the premise of and built upon the Museum''s seminal 1966 exhibition Primary Structures: Younger American and British Sculptors, the first American museum exhibition to survey the style now known as Minimalism. Primary Structures introduced the public to such artists as Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Walter De Maria, Robert Morris, and others--figures unknown at the time but soon to become synonymous with a radically new approach to sculpture. Nearly 50 years later, Other Primary Structures revisits this formative moment in art history while also reexamining the period from today''s far more global perspective. "Presented in two parts, the first part of the exhibition titled Others 1, examined work created between 1960 and 1967, while Others 2, on view from May 25 ? August 3, presented work created between 1967 and 1970, some of which was directly influenced by the 1966 Primary Structures exhibition at the Jewish Museum." -- publisher''s statement.

Mary Frances Stevens was the daughter of Silas O. Smith of Rochester, and the mother of the novelist Augusta de Grasse Stevens (1852-1894) and of Marie de Grasse, Lady Evans (d.1920), wife of the English Liberal politician Sir Francis Henry Evans (1840-1907). After her husband's death in 1854 she married John Fowler Butterworth. The seven letters in this collection are closely and neatly written; those to her father in brown ink and those to her mother in blue. All seven in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Mrs Stevens writes in a vivacious and intelligent style, and the seven letters contain a mass of personal and family information. The extracts given below concentrate on public matters, including her description of the dinner party for Daniel Webster (Letter Two), and her meeting with former president Martin Van Buren (Letter Three). Letter One (to her mother): 27 August 1842. Addressed to 'Silas O. Smith. | Rochester. | N.Y. | For Mrs Smith.' 4pp., 4to. Signed 'Mary F: Stevens'. 'Mother you cannot tell how much I have to do and think of - in the course of the week we are to have a large dinner party - all the great men.' Letter Two (to her mother): 2 September 1844. Addressed to 'Mrs Smith | Care of Mr Silas O. Smith | Rochester | N.Y.' 3pp., 4to. Unsigned. 'When I wrote you last we were expecting the Hon Mr Webster, he arrived at noon on Monday and when I found myself to receive him, knowing that his comfort & enjoyment for the few coming days rested greatly upon me, thinking of his style of living, of the many luxuries that constantly surround him, and then of the great statesman, the man that I have ever respected for his wonderful mental capacities [.] He was quite ill when he arrived with influenza, which seized him at Springfield, his eyes were inflamed and swollen, and his whole appearance indicated a sad state [.] He went to his room immediately and took a light refreshment and did not leave his bed until our dinner was ready at six [.] a party of eight, and from that number they increased to twenty before they left the table. [.] While in the dining room a crowd gathered about our door (immense - not a spot within hearing distance that was not covered) and demanded with loud cheers the great man. He granted their request and made a short but powerful speech from our steps - he was then followed by Mr Stevens, who spoke with great effect [.] The speeches were followed by Whig songs and loud and repeated cheers for Webster and Stevens. I cannot express my feeling of pride. [.] This was the all eventful day - we were thronged with visitors from seven in the morning until eleven, when the procession formed and came up to escort Mr Webster to the place of meeting. Mr Stevens was president of the day and with Judge Berrian of Georgia and Mr Curtis joined the procession with music and emblematic banners from our door [.] Mr Webster held the crowd in silence for two hours, and then returned home much exhausted, and retired to his quite room'. Letter Three (to her mother): 19 September 1844. 4pp., 4to. Unsigned. 'We returned from Saratoga a week to day, our stay was pleasant but too gay for me there were six hundred at the house all the while we were there and there was food for the mind in studying the different persons and characters brought together in one mass. We found few friends and few acquaintances, still there was enough to engage my time. I found Judge Betts [Samuel Rossiter Betts (1786-1868)] of M.G. a very pleasant man. Also Dudley Field of N.Y. Do you know him? I have his name associated with you or Grand Pa very strongly in my mind. Chancellor Walworth was kind & attentive - Mr Van Beuren [sic, i.e. Martin Van Buren (1782-1862)] - the ex-President honored me by many attentions, but he preffered [sic] some one whose sentiments harmonized better with his own. There was a very gay party from the South [.] We heard the famous Borghese sing. I look upon it as a species of torture. May I be spared from any similar inflictions. Ole Bull played but Alas! Mr Stevens endured so much in listening to Italian singing I could not induce him to go'. Letter Four (to her mother): 24 September 1844. Addressed as Letter Two. 3pp., 4to. Signed 'Mary Frances.' 'We expect Mr Webster early Monday morning - And in addition to that responsibility, (enough in itself) we are to have a dinner party of fourteen in the evening of Monday. Tuesday we will be occupied with his political engagements. At evening, we are to have a large party unless he will consent to stay over Wednesday - in case he does we shall have dinner company every day and party Wednesday evening. Do you not pity me? And yet I shall greatly enjoy it if I can succeed in making it go off well, that is my portion of the responsibility. Oh! if you were only here. Letter Five (to her father): 24 January 1846. 4pp., 4to. Signed 'Mary F. Stevens.' She reports that her husband goes on the following Saturday to Washington, 'to argue a cause of very great importance, a patent case that he was engaged fourteen days upon in opposition to Mr Staples of New York, and gained. Now he has Mr Webster, Gov Seward, R. Johnson & several other opposing counsel, and he stands by himself and firm in expectations of success.' Letter Six (to her mother): 24 September 1848.
