- DENT DE LEONE, 2014
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: “I have something for you, I’ll send it over. You know for four years now I have been trying to propagate shiso and it hasn’t grown. I tried everything: freezing and thawing the seeds, leaving them in the dark for a year, different temperatures and humidity… The seeds Taro sent me in February came up no problem, just in fine soil with a sheet of paper over the pot outside, no special equipment or lights. Crazy. The kitchen garden at home is now being taken over by green shiso plants with huge leaves everywhere. We have a glut, as the English call it. Fearful of it not reseeding and growing ... continua a leggere

- NORA-SHA, TOKYO, 1975
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: A superb documentary-style book about the lowest class of Geisha in Japan. Onsen Geisha are those who make a living in one of the numerous hot springs in Japan, having fallen out of favour in one way or another, (or who were never quite up there in the first place). Often elderly or a little bit less than attractive they entertain guests in the hot springs of Besso Onsen (Nagano Pref.) never to form any binding relationships, or if they do, to suffer the consequences. The stark black and white images chillingly convey the sadness of their existence, made all the more peculiar by the veneer ... continua a leggere

- GREGORY R. MILLER & CO., NEW YORK, 2014
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: Gerhard Richter (born 1932) is predominantly known for his paintings and drawings, which strike a playful balance between photo-realism and abstraction, while at once delving into often controversial political commentary. His works have explored a multitude of media, from photo-based, monochrome and brightly colored paintings to ink-doused papers and thin, multicolored strips of pure pattern. Beyond his artistic works, and particularly in recent years, Richter has published extensively on his vision of art and artistic values: in letters, interviews, public statements, excerpts and articles... continua a leggere

- ROLLO PRESS, ZüRICH, 2014
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: Hotel Nacional in Rio with its trademark cylindrical tower, constructed between 1968-1972, is one of the highlights of architect Oscar Niemeyer’s later work, yet has been abandoned and left to deteriorate for some time. German artist and photographer Olaf Nicolai visited the site in September 2011 to exhaustively document its state of disrepair through hundreds of images. From elevator shafts plunging into darkness, stairways covered in guano and empty swimming pools, to rotting ceilings and wide interior spaces stripped bare, the collection of photos of this once shining jewel of architect... continua a leggere

- YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS, NEW HAVEN, 2014
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: Carl Andre (b. 1935) redefined the parameters of abstract sculpture in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a highly influential voice in the American minimalist movement, recognized for his ordered linear and grid formats. In the early 1960s, Andre’s creative focus shifted to writing poetry when he took a job as a freight brakeman and conductor for the Pennsylvania Railroad. His poems echoed and extended the themes in his sculptural work, and his experience with the railroad significantly influenced his choice of materials in later years. In this stunning catalogue, which accompanies the fir... continua a leggere

- NUNO FERREIRA DE CARVALHO, 2005
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: The idea behind this artist book is to bring together a series of gouache drawings that have been exhibited previously but which are now spread across various public and private collections. Their reproduction in a single book emphasises their serial quality and allows them to be seen together, as the artist always intended. The drawings were all produced in 2004 for the Fiasco project, for which João Maria Gusmão utilised various media (drawing, sculpture, 16 mm film, etc.). The project was partially shown at Galeria Ara, Lisbon, in 2004.João Maria Gusmão was born in 1979 and lives and wor... continua a leggere

- FW UITGEVERS, AMSTERDAM, 2014
- Libreria: Libreria a+mbookstore (Italia)
- Note Bibliografiche: For the creation of 'Entre Entree', Stephan Keppel spent one year in Paris and it's suburbs. By reproducing the endless variations of the city's surfaces --with his set of printers, camera's and partly found paper-stocks-- Keppel creates a new urban and visual structure. This experimental approach gives a unique perspective on a city that is over the years so often visually celebrated. 'Entre Entree' is a very dense, attractive, but at the same time uncanny publication, which is a highlight in Keppel's ongoing research on public space, urban structures and reproduction. — F.to: 21x29; pagg.... continua a leggere
