Guggenheim Museum collection : A to Z
Revised, updated and completely redesigned, the fourth edition of the Guggenheim Museum?s popular guide to its New York collection is a beautifully produced volume, not only a handy overview of the museum?s holdings but also a concise, engaging primer on the art of the late 19th through the early 21st centuries.0Organized alphabetically, the book consists of entries on more than 170 of the most important paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, site-specific installations and other works in the collection by artists from Marina Abramovic to Maurizio Cattelan to Julie Mehretu to Gilberto Zorio. Also included are definitions of key terms and concepts of modern art, from ?Appropriation? to ?Nonobjective? to ?Postcolonial? and beyond.0The Guggenheim Museum collection is beloved for this wealth of masterpieces by leading modern artists, such as Marc Chagall, Vasily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso. Reflecting the recent growth in the collection, this edition of the guide includes new entries on Romare Bearden, Tacita Dean, Cao Fei, David Hammons, Catherine Opie and Adrian Piper, among scores of others. The text is by the museum?s curators as well as prominent authors and scholars, including Homi Bhabha, Thomas Crow, Nikki Greene and Jeffrey Schnapp.

Maurizio Cattelan : all
The Guggenheim Museum's sold-out publication 'Maurizio Cattelan: All' is returning to print. Hailed as a provocateur, prankster and tragic poet of our times, Maurizio Cattelan (born 1960) has created some of the most unforgettable images in contemporary art--most notoriously \"The Ninth Hour\" (1999), a sculpture of Pope John Paul II struck by a meteorite. Derived from popular culture, history and organized religion, Cattelan's subjects range widely, and his work, while bold and irreverent, is deadly serious in its scathing cultural critiques. The second edition of 'All' updates the catalogue that accompanied the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's 2011-2012 retrospective survey of the artist. For this exhibition, Cattelan sidestepped the totalizing effect of a retrospective by devising a site-specific installation in which his entire oeuvre was suspended from the oculus of the museum's iconic rotunda. This book offers an equally unique response to the conventions of the catalogue. It is a faux-leather bound hardcover with gold stamping and thin paper that is designed to resemble an old textbook or bible. The volume details almost every work of Cattelan's from the late '80s to the present within a double-column page format, featuring full-color reproductions and accompanying entries. The revised edition describes the artist's return to art making after a five-year \"retirement\" with a special, ongoing project opening at the Guggenheim in May 2016. It also features a redesigned cover and installation images of the exhibition 'All'. Nancy Spector has augmented her critical overview of Cattelan--which documents not only his artistic output but also his ongoing activities as a curator, editor and publisher--with a new coda. Since its original publication, 'All' has become the Cattelan bible, and this revised edition exploring the latest chapter of the artist's influential career ensures it will remain the definitive source on his work for years to come.
