paperback. Condition: Very Good. DETAILS: sewn PAPERBACK, attractive copy, very good with light wear to corners and covers slightly curled, binding and text strong and bright. GUERCIO, GABRIELE. Art as existence: the artist's monograph and its project. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 2009, later printing number line ending in 2 of the stated first paperback edition, xiii, 378pp., . "The narrative of the artist's life and work is one of the oldest models in the Western literature of the visual arts. In Art as Existence, Gabriele Guercio investigates the metamorphosis of the artist's monograph, tracing its formal and conceptual trajectories from Vasari's sixteenth-century Lives of the Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (which provided the model and source for the genre) through its apogee in the nineteenth century and decline in the twentieth. He looks at the legacy of the life-and-work model and considers its prospects in an intellectual universe of deconstructionism, psychoanalysis, feminism, and postcolonialism. Since Vasari, the monograph has been notable for its fluidity and variety; it can be scrupulous and exact, probing and revelatory, poetic and imaginative, or any combination of these. In the nineteenth century, the monograph combined art-historical, biographical, and critical methods, and even added elements of fiction. Guercio explores some significant books that illustrate key phases in the model's evolution, including works by Gustav Friedrich Waagen, A.C. Quatremere de Quincy, Johann David Passavant, Bernard Berenson, and others. The hidden project of the artist's monograph, Guercio claims, comes from a utopian impulse; by commuting biography into art and art into biography, the life-and-work model equates art and existence, construing otherwise distinct works of an artist as chapters of a life story. Guercio calls for a contemporary reconsideration of the life-and-work model, arguing that the ultimate legacy of the artist's monograph does not lie in its established modes of writing but in its greater project and in the intimate portrait that we gain of the nature of creativity." - CONTENTS: Introduction : the artist's monograph as a project -- 1.

Brossura. Condition: new. Milano, 2015; br., pp. 128, ill., cm 24x12. (Saggi d'Arte. 17). Priva di radici accertabili, sganciata dalla sequenzialità di un prima e un dopo, l'opera d'arte abbatte le barriere del tempo e ci proietta in uno spazio estraneo al progresso. Che l'arte non evolva, cioè non proceda per via di un lineare sviluppo temporale ma sia invece capace di introdurre novità di cui non c'era sentore in precedenza, è la tesi di questo saggio sulla poetica dell'immortalità in Gino De Dominicis. Un'indagine su un enigma - quello della creazione ex nihilo - e una meditazione sull'origine di tutte le cose. Guercio prende le mosse dal lavoro più emblematico e controverso dell'artista, la Seconda soluzione d'immortalità (l'universo è immobile), esposto nel 1972 alla Biennale di Venezia in una sala che è la summa delle riflessioni di De Dominicis e che viene subito chiusa al pubblico per lo scalpore che desta. Motivo dello scandalo è la presenza di un giovane veneziano affetto dalla sindrome di Down. Posto davanti a tre oggetti sul pavimento - una pietra, una palla di gomma e il perimetro di un quadrato bianco - Paolo Rosa non rappresenta una mera provocazione come pensano i più reazionari (di destra e di sinistra), ma è il fulcro attorno al quale si dispongono gli altri elementi, la chiave di tutto l'insieme. Grazie alle molteplici dinamiche che questa figura innesca, l'artista conferisce all'opera una facoltà senza precedenti: aprire una breccia nell'eternità. Libro.…
