This is the first volume to focus on Tamayo's work during his time in New York City, where he lived from the late 1920s to 1949, at a time of unparalleled transatlantic cross-cultural exchange. Tamayo: The New York Years offers a unique opportunity to trace his artistic development through sixty works-from early woodcuts and bold canvasses, through paintings depicting the modern city, to his final dream-like, celestial-themed compositions. E. Carmen Ramos is the curator of Latino art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.

"Internationally recognized as the father of video art, Korean-born artist Nam June Paik (1932-2006) transformed 20th-century art. His innovative, media-based artwork was grounded in the practices of avant-garde music and performance art, which he used to expand video and television as artistic expressions in contemporary visual culture. Nam June Paik: Global Visionary features key artworks from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection as well as loans from Museum Moderner Kunst in Vienna, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College and the recently acquired Nam June Paik Estate Archive. A wide selection of materials including televisions, radios, antiques, toys, cameras, announcements for exhibitions and performances, and correspondence give an unprecedented view into Paik's artworks and working practice, revealing the influences of Asian and Western philosophy as well as developments in technology and science"-- Publisher's website.
