BASQUIAT: The Modena Paintings
Hasler, Iris (ed); JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT Hasler, Iris (ed). BASQUIAT: The Modena Paintings. 126 pages, including 38 color plates. Folio, cloth. Berlin, Hatje Cantz, 2023. This catalog focuses on eight paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat made in the summer of 1982, when he traveled to Modena, Italy, for one of his first solo exhibitions in Europe at the gallery of Emilio Mazzoli. Within the span of just a few days, Basquiat painted a group of large-format paintings that surpassed his previous work in both scale and method. The conception and occasion of the exhibition ultimately proved fraught, and instead of conceding to pressure and expectations, Basquiat canceled the show. The paintings-including masterpieces that today are considered pivotal and among the most outstanding of his oeuvre-have never been shown together. This catalog revisits this crucial moment of Basquiat's career and reunites them for the first time.- $60

Gauguin: The Master, the Monster, the Myth
Friborg, Flemming; PAUL GAUGUIN Friborg, Flemming. Gauguin: The Master, the Monster, the Myth. 316 pages, including 170 color and 50 b&w plates. Folio, cloth. Copenhagen, Strandberg Publishing, 2023. Hailed as a pivotal figure of early modernist art yet also long denounced for his personal conduct, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) remains an ambiguous figure. Danish art historian and curator Flemming Friborg reveals the fascinating story of the artist's life and times in and around the circle of Impressionists and Symbolists, as well as his travels in France, Denmark and Tahiti, by analyzing hitherto neglected material and themes. This handsomely designed volume visually maps Gauguin's intricate web of influences, linking painterly, musical and literary traces throughout his artistic output and writings. It is an attempt to approach the artist and his work from new angles, in order to align the seemingly disparate traits in Gauguin and to present an image which accommodates both the Master and the Monster.- $65

Prince, Richard; RICHARD PRINCE Prince, Richard. RICHARD PRINCE: The Entertainers 1982-1983. 152 pages, including 135 color plates. Folio, cloth. New York, Fulton Ryder, 2023. This new artist's book by Richard Prince (born 1949) revisits a seldom seen body of work made during his "Time Life" years spent around the theaters, grind houses, bars and restaurants of New York's 42nd Street and Times Square. In artworks that include some of his earliest portraits, Prince captures the ephemeral, photographic celebrity of publicity headshots, gossip columns, nightclub advertisements and pornographic films, alongside finely rendered drawings such as "Montgomery Clift as Sigmund Freud" and "George Reeves as Himself."- $85

DORIS SALCEDO
Hesse, Fiona (ed); DORIS SALCEDO Hesse, Fiona (ed). DORIS SALCEDO. 248 pages, including 160 color plates. Folio, cloth. Berlin, Hatje Cantz, 2023. Using commonplace and domestic objects such as wooden furniture, clothing, concrete, grass, hair and rose petals, Salcedo subtly transforms them by charging them with meaning and highlighting the painfully absent. Coedited by the artist herself and featuring more than 100 key works from different phases of her career between 1992 and 2021, this catalog is an unrivaled study of Salcedo's work of the past three decades.- $85

JEFF WALL: Catalogue Raisonne 2005-2021
Dufour, Gary; JEFF WALL Dufour, Gary. JEFF WALL: Catalogue Raisonné 2005-2021. 352 pages, including 85 color plates. cloth. New Haven, Yale University Press, 2022. A catalogue raisonné. Best known for his large-scale photographs, carefully constructed "near documentaries" created in collaboration with the subjects, Jeff Wall (b. 1946) is one of the most influential photographers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Often displayed as backlit color transparencies, Wall's works have helped define the use of color and painterly sensibilities in contemporary art photography. This volume collects over fifteen years' worth of new work from Jeff Wall in a lavish presentation that includes multiple gatefolds to better convey the scale of Wall's work. As a collection of Wall's most recent work, this volume will include numerous pieces that are as-yet unfamiliar to many of his fans. Chevrier's essay deftly summarizes the varied directions of Wall's recent work and contextualizes them within the body of work that precedes this volume; de Duve's and Campany's wide-ranging conversations with the artist cover the role of performance and the effects of spontaneity and scale, respectively.- $200

LOUISE NEVELSON’s Sculpture
Bryan-Wilson, Julia; LOUISE NEVELSON Bryan-Wilson, Julia. LOUISE NEVELSON's Sculpture. 352 pages, including 105 color and 24 b&w plates. Folio, wraps. New Haven, Yale University Press, 2023. In this radical rethinking of the art of Louise Nevelson, Julia Bryan-Wilson provides a long-overdue critical account of a signature figure in postwar sculpture. A Ukraine-born Jewish immigrant, Nevelson persevered in the male-dominated New York art world. Nonetheless, her careful procedures of construction - in which she assembled found pieces of wood into elaborate structures, usually painted black - have been little studied.- $70

Attlee, James; HIROSHI SUGIMOTO Attlee, James. HIROSHI SUGIMOTO: Time Machine. 216 pages, including 130 b&w plates. Folio, cloth. Berlin, Hatje Cantz, 2023. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine is a comprehensive survey of work produced over the past five decades, featuring selections from all of Sugimoto's major series, as well as lesser-known works that illuminate his innovative, conceptually driven approach to making pictures. The texts highlight his work's philosophical yet playful inquiry into the nature of representation and art, our understanding of time and memory, and the paradoxical character of photography as a medium so well suited to both documenting and invention.- $65

How far should an artist push herself in pursuit of her work? What role does the audience play in creating a performance? How can performance art outlive the moment in which it takes place?- $60

Manet / Degas
Dunn, Ashley; Wolohijian, Stephan; EDGAR DEGAS; ED Dunn, Ashley. Manet / Degas. 352 pages, including 250 color plates. Folio, cloth. New Haven, Yale University Press, 2023. Friends, rivals, and at times antagonists, Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas maintained a pictorial dialogue throughout their lives as they both worked to define the painting of modern urban life. Manet/Degas, the first book to consider their careers in parallel, investigates how their objectives overlapped, diverged, and shaped each other's artistic choices. Enlivened by archival correspondence and records of firsthand accounts, essays by American and French scholars take a fresh look at the artists' family relationships, literary friendships, and interconnected social and intellectual circles in Paris; explore their complex depictions of race and class; discuss their political views in the context of wars in France and the United States; compare their artistic practices; and examine how Degas built his personal collection of works by Manet after his friend's premature death. An illustrated biographical chronology charts their intersecting lives and careers. This lavishly illustrated, in-depth study offers an opportunity to reevaluate some of the most canonical French artworks of the nineteenth century.- $75

The essential account of Albers' enormously influential proto-Minimalist series, featuring studies and archival materials.

Featuring studies on paper, archival materials and essays by Albers aficionados Margit Rowell and Donald Judd, among others, this richly illustrated publication sheds light on the various inspirations that influenced Albers early on in Europe and later in America, and illustrates the lasting impact of his art and thinking.- $95

MONET’s Minutes
Dombrowski, Andre; CLAUDE MONET Dombrowski, Andre. MONET's Minutes. 264 pages, including 91 color and 41 b&w plates. Folio, cloth. New Haven, Yale University Press, 2023. Monet's Minutes is a revelatory account charting the relationship between the works of Claude Monet (1840-1926)-founder of French Impressionism and one of the world's best-known painters-and the modern experience of time. André Dombrowski illuminates Monet's celebration of instantaneity in the context of the late nineteenth-century time technologies that underwrote it. Grounded in exceptional research and analyses, this book offers new interpretations of key paintings by Monet and a fresh perspective on late nineteenth-century art, society, and modern temporality.- $75

ADRIAN GHENIE: The Fear of Now
Gurnos-Davies, Kitty; ADRIAN GHENIE Gurnos-Davies, Kitty. ADRIAN GHENIE: The Fear of Now. 96 pages, including 45 color plates. Folio, cloth. Paris, Thaddaeus Ropac, 2023. Romanian-born, Berlin-based painter Adrian Ghenie (born 1977) merges art historical and contemporary cultural references-the art of Otto Dix and Philip Guston fused with the hybrid, monstrous aliens in the animated series Rick and Morty, for example. The Fear of Now follows this method, interrogating the intrusive influence of technology on everyday life while experimenting with technical processes that evoke both the heavily lined figures of Egon Schiele as well as the sensuality of the Baroque greats. This catalog presents this new body of oil paintings alongside their corresponding charcoal preparatory drawings.- $55

GIORGIO MORANDI: Works from the Antonio and Matilde Catanese Collection
Gnani, Mariella; GIORGIO MORANDI Gnani, Mariella. GIORGIO MORANDI: Works from the Antonio and Matilde Catanese Collection. 240 pages, including 215 color plates. Folio, cloth. Milan, Silvana Editoriale, 2023. Antonio and Matilde Catanese were avid collectors of Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964). Acquiring his works in the 1930s, the Milanese couple became among the first to contribute to his fame. The Catanese collection, presented in this monograph, functions as a microcosm of the artist's oeuvre, thanks to its quantity and chronological spread covering almost all the years of the artist's activity as well as the breadth of techniques and themes represented in its holdings. The collection includes 15 paintings made between 1914 and 1959, and three watercolors representing the abiding themes of Morandi's work, as indicated by titles such as Still Life, Landscape and Flowers. Also included is a Self-Portrait of 1914. Another integral part of the collection is its almost complete series of etchings. All of the works have been the subjects of scientific investigations, preliminary to restoration and conservation, conducted by the University of Urbino, the results of which are presented here.- $60
