Sherrie Levine
Published by FRAC, de Pays de la Loire, 1996, 64 pages (duotone ill.), 17 × 24 cm, French
Price: €15 (Temporarily out of stock)

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.

「箱の中へ…」4 あとのまつりの為に
Tatsuo Ikeda
Published by Galerie Tokyo Humanité, Tokyo, 1996, 6 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 22 cm, Japanese
Price: €38

Working in proximity to US military compounds and naval bases in Japan during and following World War II, Tatsuo Ikeda composed a visual vocabulary that escaped order and realism. Primarily drawing and painting on paper, Ikeda creates surreal scenes where mutated bodies morph with nearly unrecognisable architecture set on backgrounds of swirling line drawings or empty gradients. Ikeda lived for almost a century and shaped his art career around the tumults that he experienced as a result of US and Japanese political affairs.
