Recording conceptual art : early interviews with Barry, Huebler, Kaltenbach, LeWitt, Morris, Oppenheim, Siegelaub, Smithson, and Weiner by Patricia Norvell
Recording Conceptual Art features a highly provocative series of previously unpublished interviews conducted in early 1969 with some of the most dynamic, daring, and innovative artists of the tumultuous 1960s. The nine individuals--eight artists and one art dealer--are now known as major contributors to Conceptual art. These fascinating dialogues, conducted by Patricia Norvell, provide tantalizing moments of spontaneous philosophizing and brilliant insights, as well as moments of unabashed self-importance, with highly imaginative and colorful individuals.

Beauty Knows No Pain
During the past decade, a number of texts by authors such as Arthur Danto, Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Dave Hickey, Elaine Scarry, Peter Schjeldahl, and Wendy Steiner have sought to return our attention to the subject of beauty and in particular to the experience of the beautiful in contemporary art. The central questions raised by these authors, the questions they all in one way or another seem to need to address, are: Whatever happened to beauty? Why and how has it been disparaged? Who denigrated it? And why do so many art critics and historians no longer consider the judgment of beauty to be a valid exercise?

Lygia Pape
A founding member of Brazil's Neoconcrete movement, Lygia Pape (1927-2004) pioneered a unique approach to abstraction and valued art that favored the primacy of viewers' sensorial experiences. This catalog, published on the occasion of Lygia Pape's solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth New York in fall 2018, brings together a variety of works from the artist's rich oeuvre, from sculptures, prints and paintings to installations and films. It focuses particularly on the series 'Tecelares' (1952?59), 'Ttâeias' (2003) and 'Amazoninos' (1989-2003). Designed by Damien Saatdjian, the publication includes a 2009 conversation between Pape's daughter Paula Pape, curator Paulo Herkenhoff and poet Ferreira Gullar; as well as a newly commissioned text by art historian Alexander Alberro that explores multisensorial art with a focus on the works surveyed here.00Exhibition: Hauser & Wirth, New York, USA (06.09-20.10.2018).
BOOK
Specters of provenance - national loans, the Königsplatz, and Maria Eichhorn's 'Politics of Restitutiion'
Discusses Maria Eichhorn's exhibition 'Politics of Restitution' at the Kunstbau in Munich (2004), which featured 16 paintings from the Lenbachhaus museum that had been confiscated by the Nazis during World War II. The author states that Eichhorn included reprints of legal proceedings and a lecture series in her exhibition, chronicles Munich's historical connection with art stolen by the Nazis, and notes that paintings displayed included works by Ludwig Eibl, Robert Schleich, and Theodor Leopold Weller. He explains how the works appealed to the Nazi interest in bucolic German art, focuses on the ownership history of the exhibited painting 'Trotting Race in Ruhleben' (1921; illus.) by Max Slevogt, and relates Eichhorn's exhibition to the Freudian notion of the heimlich.
