Salvo 7 – VincentomaniaSalvo 2015 ISBN 9789082122329 Acqn 25182Pb 18x25cm 156pp 80ills 70col £27

The myth surrounding Vincent van Gogh has resulted in an enormous interest in everything hetouched, wrote, made, or observed. Needless to say, it is sometimes hard to distinguish fact fromfiction when it comes to this prodigy of modern art. In April 2015, ‘Salvo’ resided for a month inZundert, the village where Van Gogh grew up, and assimilated all kinds of stories that still livethere. In the process, new stories were created; new facts were discovered. Published as aslipcase with five booklets, the results form a varied and objective analysis of drab brick houses,‘Starry Night’ colour samples, untimely collaboration, pencil reproduction, and fascination with

potatoes.

Serge PoliakoffTimothy Taylor Gallery 2015 ISBN 9780992930936 Acqn 25332Hb 21x27cm 44pp 24ills 22col £15

Important late works are juxtaposed with a small selection of works from 1950 and 1951, in orderto illustrate the circular nature of Poliakoff’s practice. By pairing certain works together whatbecomes apparent is a distinct return to form. Poliakoff made a decisive departure into pureabstraction following a period of study in London in the mid-1930s. From 1950, his paintings

explored simple forms, floating in harmonious compositions and made from pure colour, whichthe artist returned to and explored further at the very end of his career. These latter paintings,often referred to as ‘silent paintings’, exemplify a language of abstraction in which colour isparamount. Speaking of these works, Poliakoff stated: “It is not necessary to explain thesepaintings, nor to write about them – it is right to remain silent, your works should speak forthemselves”.Serge Poliakoff is considered one of the most important members of the School of Paris. Havingfled the Russian Revolution in 1917, Poliakoff first travelled to Constantinople before arriving inParis in 1923, where he spent most of his life. He began studying painting while earning a livingas a musician, enrolling at the Académie Forchot and Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris1929. Poliakoff studied at the Slade School of Art after relocating to London in 1935, and it washere that the artist discovered abstract painting, as well as the importance of layering colour.

Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh And Hesam RahmanianLes Presses Du Reel 2015 ISBN 9788867491353 Acqn 25373Hb 20x28cm 112pp 145ills 110col £31

This is the first monograph of the collaborative practice of Iranian artists Ramin Haerizadeh,Rokni Haerizadeh & Hesam Rahmanian, an irreverently curated introduction to their art, (political)thinking, and humour. Their art takes multiple forms – films, installations, artworks, exhibitions –and often evolves around an array of friends, other artists, or people met by chance. These

individuals bring with them a reality that interrupts the trio’s universe and language, and channelsour attention toward unexpected territories. In this way, a great deal can be learned about howcontemporary Iranian artists have absorbed modernity; a fusion of Persian culture and Westerninfluences.

A book about a fictional architecture office in a modernist social housing complex in Brussels,where real architects and locals worked together to make scale models: a reflection on scalemodels as spaces of negotiation, on maquettes as places where the desire of the architect isvisible without the compromises of reality.

Asked to make a work of art in a modernist social housing complex called Cité Modèle (ModelDistrict) in Brussels, the artist and scenographer Jozef Wouters founded a temporary architecture

office in one of the apartments. Over time, Bureau Des Architectes became a place whereprofessional architects, artists and local residents gathered to solve problems, express desires orpropose discussions. Restricting all participants only to work with scale models in order not to bedistracted by reality, the project accumulated in an exhibition that questions the problem-solvingnature of architecture by means of 46 scale models for possible and impossible desires.

Sculptures Also DieCura.books 2015 ISBN 9788897889212 Acqn 25456Pb 17x24cm 120pp 92ills 50col £17.50

In this book, twelve international artists forge a reflection on the meaning, potential, and newexperimental approaches in sculpture. Artists today tend to use new forms and materials toaddress a broader time span in an ongoing dialogue between past and future, yet they are also

rediscovering materials like bronze, stone, and ceramic, which had become relegated to thepurely academic sphere. Using the materials in a conceptual manner, they reflect on themes suchas the monument, fragment, and temporality. Published on the occasion of an eponymousexhibition in Florence, with works by Francesco Arena, Nina Beier, Katinka Bock, Oliver Laric,Mark Manders, and more.

Frank & Robbert have created a 400-strong armoury of harmless weapons made of wood. Indealing with killing hardware and all its social, political, economic, cultural, and sexualramifications, the project is unambiguous. It is distinctly about the global omnipresence of guns –in the media, film industry, and our direct environment – yet reflects upon a broad set of issues,from the production and distribution of firearms, to their presence in our everyday lives and social

imaginations. Moreover, it touches upon the emerging possibilities of DIY manufacturing of guns,such as 3D printing. Included is an essay by Charlotte Van Buylaere, translated into the sixofficial languages of the UN.

Sol Lewitt - Artist's BooksCorraini Editore 2010 ISBN 9788875702731 Acqn 25461Pb 16x19cm 144pp col ills £24

In 1967, Sol LeWitt enclosed to the autumn issue of the historical magazine Aspen his “SerialProject #1”, 12 pages book in the format 20x20 cm which was designed and realized during theforegoing year. The subject is represented by the succession of serial geometrical compositions;or better, the subject is made up precisely by the differences among these compositions: “ ifsome parts remain constant it is to punctuate the changes”. In the 1971, the colour makes itsappearance in Sol Lewitt’s artist books with “Four basic colours and their combinations”. Then, in1977 the American artist used bw photography in “Brick wall” to catalogue many wall surfacesand, in the same year, he used colour photography in “PhotoGrids”, collection of physical grillesof the real world. From the beginning in 1967 until 2002, Sol LeWitt’s artist books are collected inthis volume. In his works the systematic rationalism, in its extreme consequences, is translated ina sort of immaterial mysticism. Accompanied by the artist’s words, Sol LeWitt’s works in form ofbooks create with his exhibitions relations of planning and poetic affinity, rather than formal. Inother words, the book is not a mere copy of the painting, but a mirror and a different point of viewfrom where observing the same idea. The volume includes contributions by Giorgio Maffei,

Emanuele De Donno, Didi Bozzini, Cecilia Metelli, and Marilena Bonomo; it also includes ananthology of critical texts and an essential bibliography about the American artist’s editorial work.Sol LeWitt (Hartford, 1928 - New York, 2007) has been linked to the movement of conceptual artand minimalism, and he has particularly explored the theme of the bond between an idea and thework that it produces. In Italy he lived for a long time in Spoleto. Giorgio Maffei and Emanuele DeDonno are experts in artists’ books. With Corraini, Giorgio Maffei has already published “Lookingtelling thinking collecting” ( 2004, edited by Anne Moeglin-Delcroix), “The book as a work of art”(2006, with Maura Picciau), “Children’s Corner” (2007, with Valerio Dehò, Barbara Nesticò and

Annie Pissard), “Arte Povera. Books and Documents” (2007), and “Munari’s Books” (2008).
