Enclosure order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 125.00 each
Hardback
Author: Andy Goldsworthy & James Putnam (Intro.)
In Stock: 3
In the early 1990s Andy Goldsworthy was invited to propose a project for Cumbria, a region of outstanding natural beauty where the landscape has been moulded for centuries by agriculture and in particular by sheep-farming. His response was to repair or rebuild a swathe of Cumbrian sheepfolds – with the intention that, wherever possible the folds would still be accessible to sheep.

Among the sculptures are slate works and balanced stones embedded in walls and a series of sixteen folds each containing a massive boulder rolled down from the nearby hillside. By 2006 over forty structures had been completed: it is this extraordinary project that forms the core of Enclosure.

This impressive volume is testament to Goldsworthy's lifelong interest in the land, its history and its inhabitants.

Paperback
Author: Robert E Kowalski

Robert Kowalski's personal story is legendary. A medical journalist by profession, Kowalski suffered a heart attack and two coronary bypass surgeries by the age of forty-one.

After the traditional dietary approach to reducing cholesterol proved only minimally effective, and faced with the unpleasant alternatives of drugs or severe dietary modification, he created a program that has proved astonishingly effective not only for himself but for the many others worldwide who have used it.
To this day, Kowalski has beaten heart disease by practicing what he preaches. He requires no prescription drugs, lives an unlimited and vigorous lifestyle, enjoys such foods as steak and eggs, and has been given a clean bill of health by his physician.
With this new book you can learn how to lower blood pressure without drugs to prevent heart attack and stroke.

10,000 Years of Art order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 29.99 each
Paperback
Author: eds.
In Stock: 2
Following on from The Art Book (1994), 10,000 Years of Art provides an original and accessible way of looking at art. On its publication in 2007, "The Daily Telegraph" described it as 'a bold new publishing event that promises to redefine the parameters of art history'. In this mini format edition of the book, 500 great works of art from all periods and regions in the world have been carefully selected from the original book and are again arranged in chronological order, breaking through the usual geographical and cultural boundaries of art history to celebrate the vast range of human artistry across time and space. The book presents art in a way different from other art history compendia, revealing the diversity, or in many cases similarity, of man's artistic achievements through time and around the globe. Ordered chronologically, the resulting timeline of works leads to compelling browsing: surprising juxtapositions ... more

Saying What You See : How to Talk and Write About Art. (NCEA 2 & 3) order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: Alison Annals & Abby Cunnane & Sam Cunnane
In Stock: 2
Artworks are a form of communication. The communications of an artist, like all other forms of communication, are often mysterious and complex, but each artist’s works are the best way he or she knows to say those things. If it could be easily expressed in words, the artist would do it that way with much less effort. It is not surprising, then, that when we come to talk or write about art, we often find ourselves talking about things that are difficult to express.
Luckily, responding to art is analogous to reading written works. The more of it you do, the better at it you get. Saying What You See is for anyone who has to – or wants to – reflect on, respond to, and evaluate artworks, their own and others’. It will be particularly useful for students working at NCEA Level 2 and above in the areas of Art History, Design, Graphics, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture and Visual Art.

Abstract Expressionism: Big Art order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 39.99 each
Hardback
Author: Barbara Hess (rd.)
In Stock: 1
Abstract expressionism refers to the non-representational use of form and color as a means of expression that emerged in America in the 1940s. These artists had striven to express pure emotion directly on canvas, via color and texture.

This title is a Taschen 25 - Special edition!
The language of paint, Abstract Expressionism refers to the non-representational use of form and color as a means of expression that emerged in America in the 1940s, largely thanks to the innovative work of Arshile Gorky. Interestingly, abstract expressionism is considered to be the first art movement originating in America to have a worldwide influence. Two very different sub-categories of the movement developed: 'action painting' (exemplified notably by Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock) and 'color field painting', made most famous by Mark Rothko. Abstract expressionists strove to express pure emotion directly on canvas, via color ... more

Andy Warhol by Andy Warhol order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 99.00 each
Paperback
Author: Gunnar B. Kvaran & Hanne Beate Ueland & Grete Arbu (eds.)
In Stock: 1
This is a catalogue that tries to reveal Warhol's personal view on different themes and refines our concept of not only the artist, but of the times in which he lived as well. In appreciating Andy Warhol's body of work, one is constantly awed by its sheer volume there is always something new to see. This catalogue comes a step closer to defining the prodigious pop artist's legacy. It illuminates Warhol's personal connection and engagement with themes such as icons, consumer society, politics, religion, and the self, trying to reveal the autobiographical aspect, the artist in first person behind the pictorial plane, the subjectivity behind the machine.

Art of Nature order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 59.99 each
Hardback
Author: Judith Magee
In Stock: 1
Three centuries of natural history art from around the world.

Art of Nature is an astonishing visual record of the exploration of parts of the natural world that had never previously been documented. It features many of the greatest natural history artists of the last 300 years - Merian, Bartram, Ehret, the Bauer brothers, Audubon and Gould.
Some were seeking fame as scientists or artists, others sought financial gain or at least the prospect of earning a living in what they loved doing. For some it also provided the opportunity to present their view of nature to a wider community.
Continent by continent, Judith Magee draws on the unrivalled collections of the Library of the Natural History Museum to illustrate the development of natural history art through the centuries and its crucial role in furthering people's appreciation of nature all around the world.

Conceptual Art order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author: Tony Godfrey
In Stock: 1
Covering the entire 20th century, this text traces the roots of conceptual art to movements such as Dada, explaining its importance in the 1960s and 1970s and showing that it is still alive today.
In 1917 Marcel Duchamp signed the name R. Mutt on a urinal and placed it in a gallery. Even the most strident modernists refused to accept this object as a work of art, however, Duchamp stuck to his guns, claiming that he had chosen the urinal as an art object so it must be art.
Such arguments over the nature of art still continue today.
Tony Godfrey sees the archetypal work of Conceptual Art as a question and a proposition joined together: "What is Art? This could be Art."
This text seeks to demystify the subject by placing the art in its social and political context.

Cubism: Big Art ( Taschen 25 - Special Edition) order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 45.00 each
Hardback
Author: Anne Gantefuhrer-Trier
In Stock: 1
This title presents Picasso and peers. Pioneered by Picasso and Braque, Cubism was the first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. Heavily influenced by the stark power of African and Native American art and sculpture, it deconstructed conventions of viewpoint and perspective, revolutionizing painting and western art in general. With its flattened, geometric shapes, overlapping, simplified forms and fragmented spatial planes, Cubism was one of the most influential movements in 20th-century art.

Paperback
Author: Stan Lauryssens

Art dealer Stan Lauryssens made millions in modern art, but he only sold one name: Salvador Dali.
