Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. 'Up Close & Personal is more than just a stunning collection of photographs of some of the best-known actors, singers arid other entertainers of our own time; it is, quite deliberately, an exploration in portraiture of the ephemeral and intangible qualities of fame and celebrity. Photographer Jeff Dunas is concerned not so much with who his sitters are as with how they have risen to a position of representing us in our fantasies, why we as the audience can so easily identify with this group of individuals, arid whether as a group they have certain qualities that others of us would not seem to possess. Common sense would indicate that the stars depicted--among them the actresses Angelina Jolie, Nastassja Kinski and Gillian Anderson, the actors Martin Sheen, Nick Note and the singers Neil Diamond, B.B. King and James Brown--are all 'normal' people, yet there is something about them that draws us in, entertains us, and allows us to utilize them as substitutes for ourselves in our inner lives. When we, as members of the public, confront these famous individuals in real life, it is not unusual for us to react as though we have stepped across the dimensions into a realm where our mirror image separates itself from us--quite air unnerving experience. Dunas's rich arid engaging photographs have much the same effect. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.

Produced to coincide with the exhibition "The Romanovs Collect: European Art From The Hermitage" held at the University Of Michigan Museum Of Art from September 21 to November 23, 2003 as part of the festival "Celebrating St. Petersburg: 300 Years Of Cultural Brilliance". art history. world history. biography. art collecting. tsarist russia. napoleonic wars. ~ The Collections of the Romanovs celebrates the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg by exploring the role of the Romanov dynasty as collectors of fine and decorative arts. The book investigates in particular the historic role of St. Petersburg as Russia's window to the West, and features the great masterworks of Western European art collected and prized by Romanov tsars, from Peter the Great (who ruled from 1721~25) to the last of the dynasty, Nicholas II (who ruled from 1874~1918). Included are masterpieces of painting, drawing, printmaking, porcelain, silver, and tapestry~over one hundred works in all, drawn exclusively from the extraordinary collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The works are presented clearly by genre, and allow the reader to see and understand the role of successive Russian rulers, the evolution of taste, and changing values as applied to Western art practice. The interaction between East and West~including Russian cultural consumption of Western European tastes~emerges as a major theme. The Collections of the Romanovs also advances our knowledge of the history of taste and patronage in Russia. Sumptuously illustrated, scholarly yet accessible, this book is required reading for anyone interested in Russia's imperial past.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Like New. Richard Wilson is one of the foremost exponents of installation art working in the world today. His seminal work 20:50, a sea of reflective sump oil permanently installed in the Saatchi Collection, London, has been described as 'one of the masterpieces of the twentieth century.' More recent pieces that have generated universal critical acclaim include Slice of Reality, a 70-foot high vertical cross-section of a 600-ton dredger located in the Thames next to the Millennium Dome in London, and Set North for Japan, a full-scale steel framework replica of the artist's own house, displaced and inverted in the Japanese countryside. This, the first monograph on the artist, examines the full spectrum of his work, moving from models, drawings, and his many gallery-based projects to collaborations with architects and engineers to realize such major architectural interventions as Over Easy, a 25-foot, imperceptibly rotating, disc-shaped section of a building's facade that challenges our collective expectation and experience of how space and materials should behave. Richard Wilson includes more than fifty pieces made over the past twenty years, as well as a comprehensive checklist that also includes earlier projects from the 1970s, offering a long overdue survey of the work of one of the most important artists of modern times. Book has minor shelf wear. Slight scuffing along edge of cover.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Good. Architects increasingly operate on a global scene, and just as numerous British architects have proved highly successful at winning projects abroad, so architects from Europe, the United States and the Far East are making their mark in Britain. One thinks, for example, of Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum and Tadao Ando's new square and pavilion project, both in Manchester, or of Frank Gehry's Cancer Care Centre in Dundee. Well-known British practices such as Future Systems, Alsop Architects and Nicholas Grimshaw &Partners also inevitably feature prominently in the exciting international story of the country's recent architectural renaissance, but so too do newer, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital. This book engagingly describes and illustrates over 100 outstanding projects, both large and small, floor around Britain--none completed earlier than 2001, and some still under construction or at planning stage. Covering every conceivable building type, from houses, offices and department stores to theatres, heritage sites and museums, this book makes a forceful contribution to the continuing debate about the role of architecture in forging a new environment and underpinning the growth of a healthy society. Wrapped in Brodart dust jacket protector. Slight scratching/scuffing on dust jacket. Book has minor shelf wear.

Specially commissioned artists' statements and a historical overview offer an intriguing insight into the art of today. Book has minor shelf wear.

83 colour illustrations reproduced on various paper stocks; grey cloth, spine titled in white, pictorial dust-jacket. A fine copy. John Piper was one of the leading modernist artists of the twentieth century whose work was not only at the forefront of artistic developments but also appealed very directly to a wide public. Marking the centenary of Piper's birth in 1903, this book dramatically uncovers the various shifts in his early career while working largely on the south coast of England, from a lyrical painterly style and lively use of collage, inspired by Picasso and Braque, into pure abstraction, in keeping with international modernism. The second half of the 1930s saw the order and harmony of Piper's work unsettled by the onset of war, and with it a return to representation in an attempt to find a contemporary idiom with which to express his romantic love of the past. The tension between abstraction and realism in Piper's work of the period is engagingly told and stunningly illustrated, in this, the first in-depth exploration of the artist's formative years.
