Regarded as the greatest British artist of his generation and represented in museum collections all over the world, Anthony Caro revolutionized sculpture in the 1960s, by taking the radical step of removing the plinth and placing his work directly on the ground not only changed our relationship with the artwork, but the direction of sculpture itself.This beautifully designed book includes a comprehensive survey of Caro''s work over a period of more than half a century ranging from his time as Henry Moore''s assistant in the early 1950s right up until his death in 2013.More than fifty of his masterworks are each examined in detail through never before published archival installation images and comments by the artist from the time of production or exhibition. Furthermore, a collection of specially commissioned new documentary photographs by Toby Glanville capture the processes behind the sculptors work, from conception to production to installation and exhibition in major exhibitions and installations.A collection of short texts by leading contemporary artists, including Anish Kapoor, Richard Deacon, Rachel Whiteread and Antony Gormley demonstrate the influence of Caro''s work, and a series of key essays by renowned critics and art historians, such as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried, provide an unparalleled overview of his career and complete this intimate celebration of the artist.

Hans Eijkelboom: People of the Twenty-First Century is an enormous and completely fascinating collection of ''anti-sartorial'' photographs of street life by the Dutch conceptual artist/street photographer. From Amsterdam to New York and Paris to Shanghai, these photographs, taken over a period of more than twenty years, provide a cumulative portrait of the people of the twenty-first century. A magnetic panoply of images, this cult object has a place in the library of every photography book collector as well as anyone interested in contemporary culture. Democratic, apolitical and unique, the archive of thousands of images offers an engrossing and engaging cross-section of society.Over the course of the last two decades, the Dutch photographer worked methodically on his monumental Photo Notes project: First he would select a busy pedestrian area his favourite spots were often near shopping centres where he would stay for 30 minutes up to a few hours. He then spent time observing passers-by before recognizing a common type, normally based on a garment, sometimes a behaviour: people in band T-shirts, fur caps or beige trench coats; young couples walking arm-in-arm; women in suit dresses; men with gelled hair or pushing shopping trolleys He snapped them with a camera hung around his neck, attached to a trigger in his pocket. Back in the studio, the images were laid into grids called Photo Notes. Their simplicity of form and presentation belies their complex anthropological, social and artistic commentary.

Architecture, power, space, gender, surveillance and authority are the issues that have animated Monica Bonvicini''s work for the past two decades. Her installations, sculptures, drawings, and films often rise questions about how the built environment shapes, conditions, and controls viewers as subjects and, in the process, dictates our phenomenological, sexual, and psycho-social relationship to space.The book provides an overview of Bonvicini''s artistic production reconsidering her past work, tracing its current trajectories, and creating a geography that charts the terrain of the artist''s attempts to embody and negotiate the very same architecture of history it challenges.

Esta investigación sobre J. Pinazo Martínez, es la primera monografía que aborda en su totalidad la vida y la obra de este artista valenciano que trabaja a caballo entre Valencia y Madrid, y a su vez tambien disfruta de un importante exito internacional. Los temas valencianos, andaluces y madrileños llenan su trayectoria, pero a partir de los años 20 inicia una depuracion formal, despojando a su obra de todo decorativismo ornamental. A traves de esta depuracion, sus personajes ya no son arquetipos folkloricos que sugieren una imagen superficial de la realidad, sino unos personajes atemporales, clasicos, al margen de toda moda. Por otra parte su actitud personal, de hombre elegante, bien educado, un poco estirado, que esta por encima del bien y del mal, coincide con la actitud de los ''noucentistas''.

"Investigar en torno a la vida y la obra de Gastón Castelló ha permitido valorar una serie de obras de arte inéditas, no sólo desde el punto de vista artístico sino también desde la perspectiva histórica de la que nunca pueden ser desgajadas. Algunas de ellas son casos que cuentan con cierto valor añadido, ya que por distintas circunstancias han dejado de existir o se hallan en vias de desaparicion. Al mismo tiempo, se ha tratado de analizar su variada produccion.
