The window as motif in the drawings and paintings of Ellsworth Kelly This monograph was copublished by Cahiers d'Art and Centre Pompidou on the occasion of the 2019 exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: Windows, which brought together, for the first time, the six Windows made by Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) in France between 1949 and 1950. Kelly's years in France were a period of perpetual invention, and are fundamental to an understanding of his work. As he wrote in 1969, "After constructing Window with two canvases and a wood frame, I realized that ... painting as I had known it was finished for me." This signal moment is evoked through more than 80 works, paintings, drawings, sketches and photographs, along with two beautiful essays by Yve-Alain Bois and Jean-Pierre Criqui. Ellsworth Kelly is one of the most important abstract artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as a key figure in the rebirth of Cahiers d'Art: the publishing house was reopened in 2012 with an exhibition of Kelly's work in its legendary gallery, and, in collaboration with Yve-Alain Bois and the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, it published the first volume of Kelly's Catalogue Raisonn of Paintings, Reliefs, and Sculpture, 1940-1953.

Wolfgang Tillmans is celebrated for his innovative and ethically driven photographic art, which spans a vast array of genres, including social movements, still lifes, portraits, and abstract works. His continual experimentation invites viewers to engage deeply with his images. This richly illustrated volume accompanies a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and features essays from various writers, alongside a new piece by Tillmans that reveals his unique approach to presenting his photography, reflecting on four decades of his influential career.

Essays and reminiscences by one of the preeminent art historians of our time, spanning more than four decades. An Oblique Autobiography assembles a new collection of essays and reminiscences by one of the preeminent art historians of our time. Spanning more than four decades of Yve-Alain Bois's work as a scholar, journal editor, and occasional curator, this volume traces a deeply personal itinerary through an important era of art history, in which the discipline—in part occasioned by Bois's own journey from France to the United States—was significantly reformulated by new methodologies. Detailing Bois’s early relationships with figures such as Roland Barthes, Hubert Damisch, Lygia Clark, and Jacques Derrida, as well as his extended engagements with Rosalind Krauss, Ellsworth Kelly, and Martin Barré, these essays track Bois's intellectual commitments against the backdrop of an evolving academic field. With texts that range from academic journal articles to obituaries, written from 1976 to 2021, An Oblique Autobiography reveals the range of Bois’s authorial voice and offers a remarkable self-portrait of one of art history’s primary protagonists.

Nejúplnější kritické dějiny umění dvacátého a počátku jednadvacátého století. Umění po roce 1900, kniha průkopnická svým obsahem i jeho podáním, udává tón na mnoho let dopředu. V přístupném faktografickém uspořádání, které sleduje chronologii, předkládají autoři více než stovku přehledných statí, zaměřených vždy na jednu rozhodující událost – na vytvoření zásadního díla, vydání důležitého textu, zahájení významné výstavy – a vyprávějí nesčetné příběhy umění od roku 1900 do současnosti. Zabývají se do hloubky všemi rozhodujícími a průlomovými okamžiky modernismu a postmodernismu, četnými antimodernistickými reakcemi, které navrhovaly alternativní pohled na umění a svět. Kromě úvodů do teoretického přístupu autoři také předkládají dvě diskuse – první umístěnou do poloviny století, druhou na konci knihy – v nich uvažují o některých otázkách, které vytyčila předchozí desetiletí, a zaměřují se na umění budoucnosti.Umění po roce 1900, koncipované jako základní pojednání tématu, je nezbytnou četbou pro každého, kdo chce porozumět složitým problémům umění v moderní době.

"Despite the reknown of the Matisse holdings at the Barnes Foundation, these works have long remained uncatalogued and elusive to many, given the Foundation's restrictions on loans and color photography. Generations of scholars have lamented the black-and-white slides of Le Bonheur de vivre that anticlimactically accompanied lectures on the riot of Fauvre color. Matisse in the Barnes Foundation [...] grew out research on the collection initiated in the 1990s [...]. Goals for the Matisse project included gathering comprehensive information on the works, from external sources, the tremendously rich and recently catalogued Barnes Foundation Archives, and the insights of curators and conservators, and creating for each work an internally consistent record in the Foundation's database, part of which could eventually migrate to the Foundation's website"--Foreword (pages 21-22).
