This is the catalogue of an exhibition in 1995 at the Whitney Museum, New York, of developments in contemporary American art, film and video. It focuses on the 80 artists in the exhibition, all of whom emphasize metaphor, allegory, and/or symbol in their art.
The stories in this collection take place in the outskirts of the ordinary, where the protection of everyday routine is unavailable. All the stories become occasions that foment the breakdown of language and desire as they pursue meaning.
Inspiring many modern artists and art connoisseurs of the 20th century, the outstanding examples of Native American art included in this volume stand as both the equals of and compliment the masterpieces of any culture. This collection, exhibited at the Aspen Art Museum, brings together over 100 examples of the finest American Indian art ...
I started taking photographs as a teenager, nearly twenty-five years ago. Since then my work has been an meditation around desire, loss, and the role of photography as a vehicle for remembrance. My pictures often function as metaphors for the way the mind works: simultaneously collecting images while letting others go, fading in the way that ...
When Peter Hujar (1934-1987) died at the age of 53, his remarkable oeuvre fell into neglect. Sporadic exhibitions and catalogues failed to give Hujar his critical due, or to make the work widely accessible. Now, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of his first book, Portraits in Life and Death (1976), a concerted effort to exhibit ...
Acclaimed in the art world for his room-size installations of paintings, sculpture, and digital projections, Matthew Ritchie's work investigates architecture and the dynamics of culture.

Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) created several series of drawings over his long career as a pioneer of post-war abstraction, and yet despite his renown as a painter and draftsman, there have been no publications to look at selected groups of his drawings in depth. No other artist of his generation produced drawings so regularly or so superbly, and ...
Terry Winters is one of an international group of artists who have reinvigorated abstract painting over the past 10 years. This volume features more than 100 paintings, prints and drawings, constituting a mid-career survey of Winters' work.
Few artists' names can connote such diverse associations as the Virgin Mary, Rudolph Giuliani and elephant dung. (Put thus, it seems rather an achievement.) Controversy tends to dog the art of Chris Ofili, and former New York Mayor Giuliani's suspension of funding for the Brooklyn Museum upon its exhibition of his 1996 painting "The Holy Virgin ...

German painter Georg Baselitz emerged in the 1960s and quickly distinguishing himself as one of the preeminent artists of the postwar era. Almost 50 years later, we now know his upside-down imagery so well that it is almost superfluous to mention it; yet its function still resonates, allowing us to see the painting beyond its content, in essence, ...
