Gael Stack

By: Gael Stack,Raphael Rubinstein,Alison de Lima Greene

An artist whose work evokes both memory and the "gaps, sinkholes, and other chasms" found in our experiences, Gael Stack is one of the most accomplished American painters working today. Her large canvases and smaller drawings use fragments of words and images, often layered over one another like a palimpsest, to create a visual language that explores the past's implacable hold on the present, with what is unknown and unspoken occasionally poking through. Serendipitous elements of graciousness and optimism also distinguish her recent work. Gael Stack is the first retrospective monograph on the artist's career, which has spanned four decades. It features a catalog of some one hundred works reproduced in full-color, full-page plates. Accompanying the images are essays by Raphael Rubinstein and Alison de Lima Greene, who discuss Stack's work in the context of world art. Rubinstein likens her paintings to Freud's "mystic writing-pad," a surface layer that can be endlessly written upon, erased, and refilled, while the underlying tablet retains traces of all that has been written—an apt metaphor for the workings of perception and memory. Greene also reflects on the theme of memory in Stack's art, particularly the ways in which memory can evolve into forgetfulness and cognizance can become ignorance. Lists of selected exhibitions and public collections in which her work has been featured and a bibliography complete this authoritative survey of Stack's career.

Isamu Noguchi

A Sculpture for Sculpture : the Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden

By: Alison de Lima Greene

Created by the renowned modernist artist and landscape architect Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), the Cullen Sculpture Garden at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has grown into one of the most important sculpture parks in America. For the past two decades the garden has offered a perfect setting to feature sculptures from the museum's outstanding collection and for masterworks on loan. This handsome book maps the sense of discovery and rediscovery that the Cullen Sculpture Garden instills in every visitor. Two essays by leading experts on Noguchi and landscape architecture illuminate the history of the garden and its creator, and scholarly catalogue entries shed light on all twenty-three of the sculptures exhibited within this remarkable one-acre site.

Texas

150 Works from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

By: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston,Alison de Lima Greene

This fascinating book provides the first assessment of the artists who have shaped the rich history of art in Texas, from its 19th-century origins to the diversity of the present scene. Published to accompany an exhibition of selected works from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this lavishly illustrated volume reveals the complexity of America's most fabled state as seen through the eyes of its leading artists. The artists highlighted here include figures of national prominence like Robert Wilson; emerging artists such as Helen Altman and Jesse Amado; and artists who have made a significant impact on the evolution of American art, from the Texas-born Robert Rauschenberg to artists who have worked in Texas for extended periods like Rackstraw Downes and Donald Judd. Exploring and exploding the cliches that have defined the Lone Star state and its art, this is an important contribution both to regional history and contemporary art.

James Turrell

A Retrospective

By: Michael Govan,Christine Y. Kim

Published in conjunction with the artist's major retrospective exhibition, this comprehensive volume traces James Turrell's artistic practice from his years at the Mendota studio in Santa Monica, California, to his monumental work-in-progress at Roden Crater, an extinct volcano that he has been transforming into a naked-eye observatory since 1975. Whether he's projecting three-dimensional shapes into the corner of a gallery space or creating immersive environments that allow viewers to better understand their own perception, Turrell invites us to "go inside and greet the light", evoking the meditative practices of his Quaker upbringing. A critical figure emerging from Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s, Turrell draws from aviation, psychology, and astronomy in his art. Through ten chapters that survey his various bodies of work, enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's oeuvre to date-from his early geometric projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent holographie works. It also features an in-depth look at the Roden Crater Project through models, plans, photographs, and drawings, which reveal the power and beauty of his magnum opus and its surrounding landscape. This publication also features extraordinary images by Florian Holzherr-many of which were specially commissioned and are published here for the first time.

Philip Guston Now

By: Harry Cooper,Mark Benjamin Godfrey,Kate Nesin,Alison de Lima Greene

The first American retrospective of artist Philip Guston's (1913-1980) career in over 15 years. Scholarly essays trace the influences, interests, and evolution of this singular force in modern and contemporary art--including a close look at the 1960s and 1970s, when Guston abandoned abstraction, returning to the figure and to current history but with a personal voice, by turns comic and apocalyptic, that resonates today more than ever"--.
