Новинки Франческо Бонами

Каждый из нас хотя бы раз в жизни думал, глядя на произведение современного искусства: "Я тоже так могу!" Тем не менее критики уверяют нас, что эти произведения - шедевры, а коллекционеры тратят астрономические суммы на картины, кажущиеся непонятной мазней, и скульптуры, напоминающие груды металлолома. Искусство ли это вообще? Известный куратор и художественный критик Франческо Бонами предлагает нам взглянуть на современное искусство без предрассудков: он объясняет, чем великий художник отличается от посредственного, почему Марсель Дюшан и Энди Уорхол выдержали испытание временем и почему многие работы современных художников крайне…

Young. Low-cost. Witty. Sexy. And again, according to the historic definition given by the British artist Richard Hamilton, mass-produced and a prolific source of business: Pop Art, with its emblematic entertwining of glamour and commodification, represents one of the most valuable expressions of the ebullient postwar America. A fluorescent, mechanical, voyeuristic form of art, which Andy Warhol, a symbol of the unrestrained American dream himself, incarnates as its leading, magnetic figure. From the obsessive reproductions of glazed Hollywood stars to the chicken soup cans, from the skulls turned into lilac and mint green icons to the floral stereotypes, up to the late reinterpretations of Renaissance frescoes, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue gather more than 160 surprising works, coming from the rich Brant Foundation, Connecticut. Warhol retraces the sparkling career of a master of contemporary art: venerated as his Marilyn, controversial as much as his Mao, and as universally famous as Coca-Cola. Published to accompany an exhibition at Palazzo Cipolla, Rome, from the18th of April to the 28th of September 2014. Contents: Andy Warhol, the man who died twice by Francesco Bonami An interview with Peter Brandt by Tony Shafrazi Catalogue of the works, Andy Warhol biography by Chiara Savino.

A groundbreaking work, this catalog accompanies the largest exhibition ever realized on Damien Hirst, surveying the oeuvres of the highly acclaimed British artist. Published on the occasion of Relics, Hirst's first retrospective exhibition in Doha, Qatar, this richly illustrated book offers a different perspective on the work of one of the best-known artists working today. Tracing Hirst's career from his emergence on the art scene in the Young British Artists movement to his present status as one of the most controversial and highly regarded artists of his generation, this volume offers a complete overview on his wide-ranging practice, which includes installation, painting, sculpture, and drawing and challenges the boundaries between art, science, and popular culture. The catalog gathers over one hundred works, combining historic oeuvres with more recent projects: from The Kingdom to The History of Pain, from Pharmacy to For the Love of God, to the spot, spin, and butterfly paintings.With an essay by Francesco Bonami, an interview with the artist by Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate Britain, and essays by the Qatari writer Sophia Al Maria and the Pakistani writer Mohsin Hamid, the volume offers an original point of view on Hirst's oeuvre, whose works have become collective icons of our civilization.
