Trade Paperback. Zustand: New. For almost 40 years, Turner Prize winning British artist Antony Gormley has been creating sculptures that explore the relationship between the body and space. This exhibition catalog documents his spectacular new installation Horizon Field Hamburg, designed for the large Deichtorhalle at Documenta 2012, in which a vast, black, reflective structure floats 25 feet above the floor. The suspended, slightly oscillating platform exploits the structural potential and architectural context of the building. Horizontal Field Hamburg elicits an experience of re orientation and reconnection mediated through vibration, sound, and reflection by functioning as a horizontal painting stretched taut in space. The viewer becomes a figure in an undefined, free floating spatio-temporal matrix. Essays by Iaian Boyd Whyte, Stephen Levinson and Dirk Luckow.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. An evocative, alienated world of maps, memory and imagination pervades the art of Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca, whose work is in the collections of such prestigious institutions as the TATE Modern, the Metropolitan Museum and the Hirschhorn. Kuitca s psychologically and politically charged paintings use architecture, floor plans, baggage carousels and topography to create the paradox of a figure less world in which human beings are constantly present. Some newer paintings adopt as a starting point a heavy, grey brown form, in contrast, the map paintings seem to emerge from pure colors as aimless, wandering, wispy traces of light or air. This comprehensively illustrated exhibition catalog presents an important new body of work from one of the most original and relevant contemporary artists. Brand new copies.
