Marcel Broodthaers
Published by Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven and Weserbrug Museum, Bremen, 2015, 144 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21.5 × 28 cm, German
Price: €28 (Out of stock)

Documents more than seventy books and works on paper by the Belgian poet and conceptual artist Marcel Broodthaers from the Schmidt collection. With texts by Viola Hildebrandt-Schat and Anne Thurman-Jajes.

Marcel Broodthaers worked primarily as a poet until 1963, when for the last twelve years of his life he made a richly varied, elusive, and influential body of work. The work he created in this albeit too brief time period was enormously influential to future generations of artists. Known for his associations in which he explores the nature and meaning of language, word and image, and rhetoric, his work encompasses poetry, writing, books, film, photography, slides, drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Known primarily for his experimental cinema and pictorial works, Paul Sharits developed an oeuvre that evolved around two central themes: one, closely related to music and the world of abstraction, the other, within the psychological and emotional arena of the figurative. This complete monograph explores the connections between these two practices, and in addition provides a general introduction to a remarkable body of work. Illustrated throughout, the monograph also includes several essays, texts by Sharits and interviews.

Ronald Jones
Published by San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose, 1990, 24 pages (b/w ill.), 18.7 × 26.5 cm, English
Price: €20

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ronald Jones at the San Jose Museum of Art, February 10–April 22, 1990. With texts from I. Michael Danoff and Peter Halley.

Ronald Jones gained prominence in New York during the mid-1980s by using disparate formal and minimal languages to explore history as a medium. Through juxtapositions of historical events, innovations, discoveries, violence and fear, he explores the complex interrelation of events as they define our perception of ourselves and the world often through connecting seemingly unrelated occurrences.

Sherrie Levine
Published by Simon Lee Gallery, London, 2013, 40 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 17 × 24.5 cm, English
Price: €20

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Sherrie Levine at Simone Lee Gallery, London, 28 November, 2012–5 February, 2013.

Sherrie Levine rose to prominence as a member of the Pictures Generation, a group of artists based in New York in the late 1970s and 1980s whose work examined the structures of signification underlying mass-circulated images, and, in many cases, directly appropriated these images in order to imbue them with new, critically inflected meaning. Since then, Levine has created a singular and complex body of work in a variety of media that often explicitly reproduces artworks and motifs from the Western art-historical canon as well as non-Western cultures.
