Book Description
One of the master illusionists of late 20th century art, Pedro Friedeberg is enjoying something of a resurgent moment in the second decade of the 21st century. Ever since the 2009 retrospective of his work at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City coincided one year later with the definitive critical study on him, authored by James Oles, there has been a noticeable uptick in international critical, collector and museum attention toward his unique oeuvre. This recognition, insofar as it includes the U.S. art intelligentsia, is long overdue, as Friedeberg, who celebrated his 80th birthday at the beginning of this year, is one of the most celebrated living artists in Mexico, and his artistic trajectory, considered as a whole, is nothing short of remarkable.This is a catalogue of the exhibition "Praise of Folly" at Ruiz-Healy Art in San Antonio, Texas.

Book Description
Regular readers of Vogue, visitors to The Museum of Modern Art, New York and design collectors who frequent auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's will be delighted to know that there is, at long last, a proper monograph on the iconic German-born, Mexico City-based Pop-Surrealist artist and industrial designer Pedro Friedeberg. This comprehensive, 450-page first monograph brings together more than 500 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures and design objects- including Friedeberg's famous hand chair, which has been in production since 1962 and appears regularly in international style and fashion magazines to this day. (According to The New York Times'style magazine, T, the hand chair has been "an object of desire for boldface design-world names from Arnold Scaasi to Kelly Wearstler. The Surrealist writer and poet Andre Breton was also mesmerized by the chair, as were Yul Brynner, Roman Polanski and Jeanne Moreau.") Published on the occasion of the artist's first major career retrospective, on view from late 2009 through early 2010 at the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, this volume contains essays by the noted art historians James Oles of Wellesley College and Jeffrey Collins of Bard Graduate Center, among others.

Conversations in Mexico
Author: Hans Ulrich Obrist
Publisher: Fundacion Alumnos47cosentino
ISBN: 9780996215619
Category : Art, Mexican
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In 2002 Hans Ulrich Obrist began his conversation with a diverse and influential group of Mexican pioneers during an exhibition at Luis Barragán's house in Mexico City. Over a decade in the making, Conversations in Mexico beautifully captures how the Mexican cultural scene has pivoted several times--perhaps most importantly around the student protests at the 1968 Olympic Games--to cultivate a wholly radical and innovative aesthetic, one that is illuminated in the iconic buildings of Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and Teodoro González de León; the people and landscapes photographed by Graciela Iturbide; the music of Esquivel!; the incredible voyages of Santiago Genovés; the utopian politics and literature of Carlos Fuentes, Margo Glantz and Elena Poniatowska; the singular vision of Alejandro Jodorowsky; and the uncompromising art of Leonora Carrington, Felipe Ehrenberg, Pedro Friedeberg, Juan Soriano and Eduardo Terrazas.

Avocadomania
Author: Déborah Holtz
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 0847871428
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From social media to hipster menus, avocados are trending, and this utterly original cookbook from the avocado’s native Mexico celebrates the fruit that went from Aztec aphrodisiac to twenty-first-century clean-eating superfood. Everything there is to know about avocados is here: ancient origins, amazing health properties, restorative cosmetic uses, and a recipe collection far beyond the tried and true. This book features a fresh visual design aesthetic that reflects the creative sensibility of Mexican contemporary art, graphic design, atmospheric photography, and street style. Recipes cover everything from guacamole in many variations, salads, unusual sides, many permutations of avocado toast—even toastless avocado sandwiches—as well as less well-known and offbeat uses. The book also explores avocado butter and oil; detoxifying smoothies; rejuvenating cosmetic salves and masks, and much more. Practical matters are also addressed: an avocado overview by type; storage tips; preserving the brilliant green flesh from browning; ripening immature fruits; and safety tips for slicing and de-pitting. Avocados are grown in Mediterranean climates globally and dominate social media, hip restaurant menus, and health-based diets, but this is the first book paying tribute to the superfruit’s deep roots as a native, Mexican heritage food.
