Book Description
Rachel Whiteread is one of the most acclaimed British artists of her generation. Yet, despite the fact that she has been the subject of consistent press coverage since being awarded the prestigious Turner Prize in 1993 -- & that her work openly articulates emotional themes -- there has been limited public exposure of the personality behind the work, & her sources of inspiration as an artist. Rachel's Book is far more than a conventional monograph, offering Whiteread the opportunity to present her work in published form for the first time. It is an artwork in its own right. Continuing in the spirit of the celebrated 'anti-monograph' he produced with Damien Hirst, publisher Edward Booth-Clibborn has given Whiteread free rein to expand the idea of how an artistic vision may be 'captured' on the printed page. As the theme for Rachel's Book, the artist has chosen 'home'. But Whiteread is less interested in describing what home means, more in how it feels. Using innovative production effects, the book articulates her personal response through images, textures, colours, smells, sounds & emotional references, which the artist has sourced over the course of several years. Rachel's Book is an emotive & evocative extension of Whiteread's celebrated series of pieces on a domestic theme. These 'spatial negative' sculptures -- unique casts of forgotten spaces under furniture, & most memorably, the entire space inside a derelict house in London's East End -- are the artworks that first brought her to international attention. Designed by North.

Scrawl
Author: Caren Strauss-Schulson
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 0847865290
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Sketches, drawings, and scribbles from the private letters and notebooks of some of the greatest names in history--notable figures in art and literature, fashion and film--revealing that even the most influential minds have doodled their time away! From the first ever sketch of the Red Cross logo by its founder Clara Barton to a cartoon scrawled on a love letter from Charles Bukowski, the objects in this fascinating collection are a perfect reflection of the eclectic and storied cast of characters from whose archives they've been collected over the years. Organized alphabetically, with a range of influential names, from William Burroughs to Mark Twain, the book is a voyeur's treasure trove of the ephemeral, in which cultural icons reveal their own preoccupations, passions, plans, and distractions in the marginalia of their daily correspondence. A satirical sketch by Marc Chagall sits beside a quick self-portrait by Charlie Chaplin; a throwaway drawing on a dollar bill by Joan Miro follows the first ever idle iteration of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren; and a hasty drawing by Andy Warhol precedes a sketch of Falstaff on a hotel notepad by Orson Welles. A treat for lovers of the analog in the digital age, and reproduced beautifully on uncoated paper to come as close as possible to the texture of the originals, Scrawl connects high and low, art and science, history and literature, youth and age, with the universal truth of doodling.
