Drawings
Lee Lozano
Published by Hauser & Wirth Zurich, 2006, 194 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 23.9 × 29.5 cm, English
Price: €35

Produced over the course of little more than a decade, Lee Lozano’s art is striking for its breadth and vigour. As well as paintings characterized by energy, daring physicality, and tireless investigation of the body and gender, Lozano’s oeuvre also includes conceptual works and drawings, the latter of which are the focus of this publication. A selection of the artist’s early narrative and figurative drawings from 1960 to 1964—all of which were previously unpublished—are presented alongside texts by Barry Rosen and Jaap van Liere, as well as extracts from the artist’s own diaries that capture the wit, intelligence, and anger that animated her brief yet profoundly influential career.

Bigger, Higher, Leader!
Willem Oorebeek
Published by MER. Paper Kunsthalle, Ghent, 2006, 64 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 27 cm, English/Dutch
Price: €25

Produced on the occasion of Willem Oorebeek’s exhibition Bigger, Higher, Leader!, at S.M.A.K., Ghent, 6 May–30 July, 2006.

Willem Oorebeek’s work presents a reflection on the status of the image and more especially on what technical reproduction does to an image or a message. Over the last few years he has been working on his BLACKOUT series, in which he prints on existing printed matter by hand, using black ink. The images he uses are of various origins, but he appropriates them and by making them illegible also pays tribute to them. In a certain sense, Oorebeek’s work is akin to certain aspects of Pop Art, though his is more radical. [publisher’s text]

Color, Power & Style
Wade Guyton
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2006, 128 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 19.5 × 26.5 cm, English

Wade Guyton rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with a landmark series of abstract paintings composed of simple forms and letters printed on canvas. Running the canvas through a commercial inkjet printer, Guyton stretched the device beyond its capacity to the point of failure, embedding the limits of a digital future onto the surfaces of his paintings.

“George Washington” at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1979 and 2005
Michael Asher
Published by Yale University Press, New Haven, 2006, 96 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 17.5 × 24 cm, English
Price: €29 (Out of stock)

In a 1979 exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, American conceptual artist Michael Asher, known for his site-specific work that investigates the relationship between a piece of art and its place of display, relocated a 20th-century bronze cast of Jean-Antoine Houdon’s famous marble George Washington (1785–91) from the museum’s front steps to an interior gallery. In placing the work in a new context, Asher sought to make the viewer aware of usually invisible institutional practices–the categorisation of works of art, methods of installation, and the criteria for assigning aesthetic value.
