Bader argues that 1961's \u003cem\u003eLook Mickey\u003c\/em\u003e, Lichtenstein's inaugural pop work, established a template for the tension between embodiment and disembodiment that animates much of his 1960s practice: between an evacuation of sensory experience, on the one hand, and a repeated focus on emphatic bodily acts (squeezing, kissing, crying, etc.) on the other.

These little-discussed works, Bader argues, exemplify Lichtenstein's late-'60s shift of focus to the embodied experience of his own viewers - and thus culminate and conclude his practice of the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e This title has been remainder marked with a 'T' stamp on the lower edge - see final image.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39399003390133,"sku":"BK-MIT-HMRL-001-P","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_8557_59fb3ee6-5b81-4452-b725-0a57877b8270.jpg?v=1756734564"},{"product_id":"imran-qureshi-the-roof-garden-commission","title":"Imran Qureshi (The Roof Garden Commission)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20.12 x 9.53 x 1.04 cm | 64 pp | 54 illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYale University Press | 2013 | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780300197754\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003eThis catalogue accompanied the artist's solo exhibition commissioned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2013.

Yet, examined on its own terms, Lichtenstein's comics-inspired, deadpan artwork remains as truly unsettling to art-world orthodoxies today as when it first gained wide attention in the early 1960s. Lichtenstein (1923-1997), a central figure in Pop, consistently savaged the rules of painting—while remaining committed to the most traditional procedures and goals of the medium. (He once said, “The things that I have apparently parodied I actually admire and I really don't know what the implication of that is.”)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers the most comprehensive collection of writings on Lichtenstein's work to appear in thirty-five years, with early reviews, artist interviews and statements (some never before published), and recent reassessments. The book includes Donald Judd's reviews of Lichtenstein's three solo Pop shows in the early 1960s, an essay on the artist's 1969 Guggenheim retrospective, interviews that touch on topics ranging from the New York art world to Monet and Matisse, the transcript of a 1995 slide presentation in which Lichtenstein surveyed three decades of his work, and an in-depth study of Lichtenstein's first Pop painting, Look Mickey (1961). The texts explore Lichtenstein's career across the boundaries of medium and period, excavating early critical discussions and surveying more recent reexaminations of his artistic practice. The collection will be an indispensable resource for those interested in Lichtenstein, Pop Art, and American culture of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGraham Bader, Yve-Alain Bois, John Coplans, David Deitcher, Hal Foster, John Jones, Donald Judd, Max Kozloff, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Roy Lichtenstein, Michael Lobel\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43336448606466,"sku":"BK-MIT-OFRL-001-E","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_9793_2e182878-6c10-4663-8ead-e74bec9b23c6.jpg?v=1674566755"},{"product_id":"sturtevant-warhol-marilyn","title":"Sturtevant: Warhol Marilyn (One Work)","description":"\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatricia Lee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e14.94 x 0.89 x 21.11 cm | 104 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfterall | 2016 | 9781846381638\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eOne Work\u003c\/em\u003e series is a library of small books, each title focusing on a single artwork that has significantly shaped the way we understand art and its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn illustrated examination of a work - a Warhol that isn't by Warhol - that embodies a shift in attitudes about artistic authorship and originality. \u003cem\u003eWarhol Marilyn\u003c\/em\u003e (1965) is not a work by Andy Warhol but by the artist Elaine Sturtevant (1930-2014). Throughout her career, Sturtevant (as she preferred to be called) remade and exhibited works by other contemporary artists, among them Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. For \u003cem\u003eWarhol Marilyn\u003c\/em\u003e, Sturtevant used one of Warhol's own silkscreens from his series of Marilyn printed multiples.

Lee describes the cognitive dissonance a viewer might feel on learning the identity of Warhol Marilyn's author, and explains that mistaken identity is part of Sturtevant's intention for the operation of the work. She discusses the ways that Sturtevant's methodology went against the grain of a certain interpretation of modernism, and addresses the cultural significance of both Warhol and Monroe as celebrity figures. She considers Dorothy Podber's shooting a bullet through a stack of Warhol's Marilyns (thereafter known as The Shot Marilyns) at the Factory in 1964 and its possible influence on Sturtevant's decision to remake the work. Lee writes that Sturtevant's critical reception has been informed by some fictional forebears: the made-up artist Hank Herron (whose nonexistent work duplicating paintings by Frank Stella was reviewed by a fictional critic), and (suggested by Sturtevant herself) Pierre Menard, the title character of Jorge Luis Borges's \u003cem\u003ePierre Menard, Author of the Quixote\u003c\/em\u003e, who recreates a section of Cervantes's masterpiece line by line.

For half a century, he has explored with unwavering determination the possibilities of the stripe, band, and block as abstract forms. With seemingly limitless invention, he has reconciled the aesthetic of pure minimalism with a more human and expressive approach in a quest to make meaning and content the central preoccupation of painting. In his words, he makes ‘abstract painting metaphorical, physical, sensual, emotional, and, above all, relational’. In the process, he has revealed how something so simple – a mark on a surface – can communicate so much feeling and lived experience. As Scully himself has remarked, the stripe is particularly receptive to interpretation, and from the very beginning his work has received the attention of commentators who have been drawn by its seductive sensuality and constant inventiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book collates the writings of some fifty international critics, curators, philosophers, and historians who have sought, from their own vantage points, to chart the unique and single-minded course that Scully followed in the first three decades of his career. Reflecting the astonishing variety of his compositions, each one identifies novel and different aspects in the work and discovers something new and fresh to say as it develops in unexpected and intriguing ways. Lavishly illustrated with all of Scully’s major paintings from the late 1960s to 1999, and with dozens of installation views, behind-the-scenes studio shots, and portraits of the artist, many published here for the first time, this collection provides a concise and accessible account of the work of a painter who more than any other has demonstrated the poetic qualities of abstraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Art\/Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43422872895746,"sku":"BK-AB-BTL-001-D","price":17.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_8393.jpg?v=1669208782"},{"product_id":"gainsborough-world-of-art","title":"Gainsborough (World of Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam Vaughan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14.99 x 1.78 x 21.08 cm | 224 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThames \u0026amp; Hudson | 2002 | 9780500203583\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWilliam Vaughan puts Gainsborough's work into the context of contemporaneous social and political developments in Britain, and in particular the celebration of original genius in a time of burgeoning entrepreneurial commercialism. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVaughan explores Gainsborough's life and work - his childhood in Suffolk; his 'apprenticeship' in London; his marriage and the birth of his daughters; his move back to Suffolk and the birth of his career; his move to Bath and his incredible success as a society portrait painter; his move to London in 1774 where he reached the peak of his career, despite falling out with the Royal Academy and not being appointed official painter to the King; and his death in 1778.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43447753605378,"sku":"BK-TAH-GAI-001-O","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_3142_af6351c5-e6ca-4562-8621-532fa4486572.jpg?v=1700656589"},{"product_id":"beauty-reigns-a-baroque-sensibility-in-recent-painting","title":"Beauty Reigns: A Baroque Sensibility in Recent Painting","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"202\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003eStephen Westfall\u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"147\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003eLilly Wei\u003cspan\u003e \u0026amp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"220\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003eRene Paul Barilleaux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"220\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003eHardcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21.84 x 2.03 x 30.23 cm | 144 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"220\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEast of Borneo | 2014 | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780615864518\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"220\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eBeauty Reigns\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on exoticism, exuberance and optimism in contemporary painting through\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"220\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e the work of 13 emerging and mid-career abstract painters.

Over the course of six decades, Davis produced artworks that drew inspiration from the European modernists but were deeply rooted in the popular culture of the United States. Jazz music and hipster talk, vaudeville stages, city streetscapes, New England fishing villages, gasoline stations, store fronts, and commercial packaging and advertising images were among the sources that infused his art with energy, bringing crisp edges, radiant colour, and syncopated rhythms to a vast body of paintings, watercolours, and drawings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDocumenting the life’s work of this prolific and highly influential artist―who affected almost every development in American art from second-generation Ashcan realism around 1912 to colour field and geometric painting in the 1960s―is a monumental achievement.
