MINIMALIA

Italian Art from the Second Avant-Garde

Minimalia: Italian Art from the Second Avant-Garde is dedicated to Italian artists working from the 1960s to early 1980s who fostered the development of the art movements ZERO, Gruppo T, Gruppo N, Pittura Analitica and Arte Povera. Though in dialogue with the North American Minimal art movement, the artists in these groups represented a uniquely Italian vision that exerted a powerful influence on the international avant-garde and are now recognized as important contributors to the history of twentieth-century abstraction. Minimalia includes works by Enrico Castellani, Salvatore Scarpitta, Mario Merz, Alberto Biasi, Grazia Varisco and Giorgio Griffa, among many others. Photographs of the items on auction are accompanied by essays on the individual artists and an in-depth interview with internationally renowned curator and critic Achille Bonito Oliva, who organized the 1999 exhibition Minimalia: An Italian Vision in 20th-Century Art at MoMA PS1, NY, by Wright’s own Elisabeth Del Prete.

THE MIRROR OF NARCISSUS

From Mythological Demigod to Mass Phenomenon

Beate Ermacora & Maren Welsch (Eds.)

Taking as its starting point the myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and pined away because he couldn’t possess his beloved, this catalog for an international group exhibition includes a smart curatorial mix of international artists. Featured are Barbara Bloom, Felix Burger, Luis Camnitzer, Niklas Goldbach, Conny Habbel, Katja Hammerle, Ely Kim, Jürgen Klauke, Urs Lüthi, Bjørn Melhus, John Miller, Olaf Nicolai, Helmut Schober, Johanna Smiatek, Wainer Vaccari and historical works by Gyula Benczúr, Felix Nussbaum, Johann Heinrich Schönfeld plus more. The diverse selection of art works is not concerned merely with self-experience and self-recognition, with clichés and male behavioral models, but also with the social changes regarding the blurring of gender roles and the acceptance of the glorification of the masculine physique, thus illuminating our current social circumstances. Texts by Julia Brennacher, Lotte Dinse, Beate Ermacora, Jürgen Tabor and others.

HAROON MIRZA

HRM199 LTD

Roland Wetzel (Ed.)

London-based UK artist Haroon Mirza’s atmospheric large-scale installations combine sound, light, film and video with found objects—audio equipment, LEDs and solar panels—and work by other artists to create an immersive experience that confounds and challenges authorship and spatial orientation. The artist’s work to date, currently at the Museum Tinguely, Basel, is presented in this substantial catalog designed in the rhizome-like structure of Mirza’s creative and practical interactions. Organized both along process-oriented chronological lines and cartographically, the catalog offers a sort of road map of the networked interactions that are a part of each project. Incorporating work by numerous artists such as Mattia Bosco, Alexander Calder, Jeremy Deller, Gaia Fugazza, Gary Hill, Anish Kapoor, Richard Sides and Jean Tinguely, Mirza’s projects question perceptual distinctions and challenge the categorization of cultural forms.

MIKI MOCHIZUKA

Sun Day

Yoko Mori (Ed.)

The deceptively simple painterly compositions of Japanese artist Miki Mochizuka are, in fact, an analog for the process of perception and representation of memories, thoughts, and ideas in the visual landscape. Heavy layers of paint take on a collage-like appearance, revealing and obscuring crystalline geometric patterns and lushly rendered flora and fauna like sedimented layers of memory and time. This catalog, accompanying an exhibition at the Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum in Shizuoka, Japan, serves as the first collected survey of the work of Mochizuka who, until this point, has only been visible throughout Japan, international art fairs and a recent feature in Contemporary Art Daily. Included in this handsome publication are color reproductions of 52 oil paintings, both a selection of older works and the artist’s most recent series.

MOHAU MODISAKENG

Selected Works

Karin Pernegger (Ed.)

Stunning performances, large-format photographs, videos and sculptures by young South African artist Mohau Modisakeng (b. 1986) address the culture and politics of post-colonial and post-apartheid Africa by contrasting its history of violence with its present moment through depictions of the body. Modisakeng grew up in Soweto near Johannesburg under the shadow of repeated rioting in the townships. His powerful images, somewhat reminiscent of Joseph Beuys’s and Matthew Barney’s very personal performances, freeze this contrast into timeless language. Without making violence a primary focus, Modisakeng converts injustice into a poetic vocabulary conveying African history to the observer without placing blame. This first-time monograph and European solo exhibition feature 70 large-scale color photographs along with the noted video work Inzlo (Mourning), featured at the 56th Venice Biennale. As Modisakeng observes, “Although we might recognize history as our past, the body is indifferent to social changes, so it remembers.”
