Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. The myths and realities of the swinging sixties provide the backdrop to this unique and beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies an exhibition at Tate Britain. In an age when Britain was undergoing rapid social and cultural change, aesthetics were also being transformed, resulting in new departures in the form and content of British art. Unlike previous books on the subject, 'Art and the 60's: This Was Tomorrow explores the blurring boundaries within art of the time and its evolving relationships with other cultural forms. The work of artists David Hockney, Bridget Riley, Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, David Bailey, Colin Self, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Allan Jones, among others, is examined alongside developments in the media, photography, popular culture, architecture, and advertising. 'Art and the 60's is both a history of British art in the 1960s and a portrait of an era. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book comprises the selected writings of the eminent art historian, critic and museum director, Sir Alan Bowness (1928-2021). In the 1950s and early 1960s he was a regular and acute critic of contemporary art for Art News and Review, The Observer, The Spectator, Times Literary Review and the New York-based magazine Arts, among others. His reviews were often among the first substantial articles on the post-war generation of British artists, many of whom became his friends, and the first significant writings published in Britain on leading contemporary European and American artists. Many of these important but long out of print articles and essays are re-published here, as are others on the subject Bowness taught at the Courtauld Institute of Art from 1957 to 1980: nineteenth century French painting. Bowness left the Courtauld in 1980 to take up the post of director of the Tate Gallery. Under his leadership, the museum expanded its collection, deepened its commitment to scholarship, established itself as a major patron of contemporary art, not least through the Turner Prize which he initiated, and embarked on an expansion programme that led to the opening of Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives and a new wing of what is now Tate Britain. His writings on museums (he also set up the Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives, and was involved with The Hepworth, Wakefield) and his reflections on criticism and reputation, also published here, remain especially relevant for the present era of mega-museums and art hype. Selected criticism, essays and lectures by Sir Alan Bowness, critic, art historian and former director of the Tate Gallery. With a foreword by Dawn Ades.

Paperback. Condition: New. Explores the pivotal role of Studio Prints, London, in the resurgence of printmaking during the 1970s and 1980sDorothea Wight (1944-2013) founded Studio Prints in Kentish Town, London, in 1968. Marc Balakjian (1940-2017), an artist and printmaker of Armenian origins, joined it in 1974. They married in 1977 and, for over forty years, pursued their own artistic careers while also pulling prints for other artists. Thanks to their exceptional skills as master printmakers and to the sensibility with which they interpreted other artists' ideas and intentions, Dorothea and Marc emerged as leading printers for prominent artists like Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, Paula Rego, Celia Paul, Kitaj, Stephen Conroy, Ken Kiff and many others, establishing close friendships and mutual relationships of trust and esteem. Using previously unpublished archival records and a substantial corpus of works by the above-mentioned artists, a group of distinguished contributors to the book provide insights into a thriving and pioneering season of artistic production in London and reveal a relatively unrecognised but hugely influential hub of artistic production.Exhibition Schedule The Courtauld Gallery, London 6 June-13 September 2026 Published by Paul Holberton Publishing/Distributed by Yale University Press.
