Among the most provocative artists of the late 19th century, Gabriel von Max (18401915)
challenged his audience with images of anatomical dissection, young women crucified, mystics
and seers, and monkeys assuming the roles of art critics, musicians and painters. Balancing art,
science, and spiritualism, the celebrated Munich painter-prince enjoyed a broad European and
American audience.

Insomnia shifts in sleeping habits go together with major changes in our ways of living. Today we
are witnessing a corresponding shift, in which the possibility of direct communication at any
geographical distance shatters the 24-hour rhythm of the time zones. We have the possibility of
doing everything regardless of what time of the day it is. Insomnia aims to draw a map of the
sleepless state that this accessibility creates. With contributions from Siri Hustvedt, Sara
Arrhenius, Carsten Holler, Rafael Rozendaal and others.

Lawrence D. Butch Morris (19472013) was an American jazz cornetist, composer and
conductor, internationally considered one of the great musical innovators of our times. His
interests in ensemble musicfrom avant-garde jazz to contemporary classicalcrystallized into
a unique method of real-time orchestral composition, which he called Conduction, designed to
enable conductors to direct an ensemble. Morris toured the world, introducing Conduction to a
varied community of musicians, and his influence extended into art, dance, poetry and cinema.
The Art of Conduction is a theoretical introduction and practical guide to Conduction. During the
last 10 years of his life, Morris worked to document his method in this book form; his untimely
death left it near finished. Finally Daniela Veronesi, a linguist and long-time collaborator, brings
his manuscript to completion.

Vicua makes art of gathered materials from the ocean, the river and the street.
Beginning and ending at the edge of the ocean, Chileanborn artist and poet Cecilia Vicua's
(born 1948) artist's book serves as both a lament and love letter to the sea. Vicua collects the
detritus that washes up on shore and assembles out of the refuse tiny precarios and basuritas
little sculptures held together with nothing more than string and wire.
About to Happen, which accompanies an exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center New
Orleans, traces a decades-long practice that has refused categorical distinctions and thrived
within the confluences of conceptual art, land art, feminist art, performance and poetry. In an era
of increasing climate change and economic disparity, Vicuas nuanced visual poeticsoperating
fluidly between concept and craft, text and textiletransforms the discarded into the elemental,
paying acute attention to the displaced, the marginalized and the forgotten.

While Carol Rama (19182015) has been largely overlooked in contemporary art discourses, her
work has proven prescient and influential for many artists working today, attaining cult status and
attracting renewed interest.
Ramas exhibition at the New Museum brings together over 150 of her paintings, objects and
works on paper, highlighting her consistent fascination with the representation of the body. This
book celebrates the independence and eccentricity of this legendary artist whose work spanned
half a century of contemporary art history and anticipated debates on sexuality, gender and
representation. Encompassing her entire career, it traces the development from her early erotic,
harrowing depictions of bodies without organs through later works that invoke innards, fluids
and limbs. This catalogue accompanying her New Museum exhibition features an interview with
the artist by Lea Vergine, a new text by writer Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, and a contribution by artist
Danh Vo.

Encompassing drawing, painting, sculpture and video, Kaari Upsons (born 1972) works track
open-ended, circuitous narratives that weave elements of fantasy, physical and psychological
trauma, and the often-fraught pursuit of an American ideal.
For The Larry Project (2005ongoing), she unearthed a well of projected histories, images and
artefacts inspired by forgotten fragments from the abandoned personal archive of a man whom
she had never met. Upson has continued this forensic approach in subsequent projects. This
catalogue accompanying her New Museum exhibition features an interview with the artist by Paul
McCarthy, a new essay by curator Margot Norton and a text by artist Jim Shaw. It also debuts her
newest series, centring on a family living in a Las Vegas tract house.

The lush oil paintings of London-based Lynette Yiadom-Boakye (born 1977) embrace many of the
conventions of historical European portraiture, but expand on that tradition by engaging fictional
subjects who often serve as protagonists of the artists short stories as well.
These imagined figures are almost always black, an attribute Yiadom-Boakye sees as both
political and autobiographical, given her own West African heritage. Her elegant characters come
to life through the artists bold brushwork, appearing both cavalier and nonchalant. This catalogue
accompanying her New Museum exhibition features an interview with the artist by Natalie Bell
and Massimiliano Gioni, new reflections on Yiadom-Boakyes work by artist Chris Ofili, and art
historians Elena Fillipovic and Robert Storr.

In 2014 guest curators Alain de Botton and John Armstrong conceived an exhibition at the
Rijksmuseum, entitled Art is Therapy, which posed the question of what art can mean to visitors.
Rather than taking a strictly (art) historical approach, they chose to focus on the therapeutic
effects artworks can have, provoking the visitor into rethinking some crucial assumptions about
what visiting a museum means and by extension, the purpose of art itself. This catalogue
recounts the highly original and unexpected commentary on 150 artworks, from the Middle Ages
through to the 20th century, even offering a large section of blank pages for personal notes and
creative exploration.

Swedish artist Lotta Antonssons recent work recalls her fascination with the late 1960s and 70s,
in a style where documentary and fiction blur in a merging of social and sexual revolutions,
according to the essay by Patrik Andersson. From a process that utilizes techniques of collage
and montage emerges a very personal way of looking at the ephemeral nature of things, whether
printed matter (magazines, books) or natural objects (shells, minerals, driftwood). Antonssons
analogue cuts and repetitions seize upon the allegorical potential of image fragments, freeing
fashion and erotic photography in an exploration into the gendered side of this clichd history.

The Dutch sculptor Adriaen de Vries created a sequence of masterpieces in the period from 1620
to his death in 1626. They each bear full witness to the artist's unique, loose modeling style and
his dynamic approach to composition qualities that placed him well ahead of his time. The
absolute pinnacle among these later works is the recently discovered 'Bacchant', which attracted
the attention of the world's media in 2014 when the Rijksmuseum acquired it at an auction for a

Published on the occasion of a retrospective exhibition of work by Piero Gilardi at MAXXI, curated
by Hou Hanru, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, and Marco Scotini, this catalogue highlights the artists
skilled legacy and his long history of civil commitment. Since the outset of his career in the 1960s,
Gilardi has remained closely connected to the issues of inequality, injustice, and the disasters of
our civilisation, and continuously engaged in seeking expressions that are an alternative to the
mainstream, in order to promote ties between artistic practice and socio-political reality. His
Nature-Carpets not only recall the beauty of vanishing nature, but also offer comfort in the
Anthropocene.

As a national museum, the MAXXI is ostensibly responsible for recording how Italian
contemporary culture has been evolving since its inception, but also for expanding the definition
of this national art into a constant negotiation with the processes of globalisation, thereby
transforming the definitions of nation, state, boundaries, and Europe itself. According to artistic
director Hou Hanru, the museum focuses on fostering a strategy to found a collection based on
institutional memory, rather than one that offers an all-embracing picture of the history of our
times. Numerous artists and works from the collection are featured here, alongside topical
themes and essays by experts in the field.

The painting known as the 'Basler Totentanz', which was destroyed in 1805, holds the position of
an icon in the European tradition. Gerda Steiner and Jrg Lenzlinger have engaged with the motif
and significance of the danse macabre in their unusual work. The artist-duo invited artists from
different fields to work together with them on a total installation in the form of a market. This

Australian Aboriginal artist Gordon Hookey has a distinctive figurative painting style that is
urgently political, calling both politicians and constituents to account for the past and continuing
oppression of his people. His style is often darkly humorous, layered with visual puns and
linguistic mischievousness. MURRILAND! is a cycle of monumental paintings that re-envisions
the history of Queensland. Begun in 2015, it surveys pre-colonisation to the present day,
unravelling history and confronting non-indigenous narratives. This publication compiles materials
and interviews surrounding the first canvas in the series, and coincides with its presentation at

The combination of painting and graphics is Paul Coxs signature style and in this case the
French artist remains true to form: in a mix of design, games and scenic art, Cox creates a mini
theatre with 42 cut-out objects and characters, ready to take the stage and perform a different
story each time. But thats not all: this little theatre is also alphabetic: each character represents
its initial letter, multiplying expressive possibilities in a game of references between drawings and
letters and between meaning and significance.

One can sense an alternation between direct experience and a more distant analysis in the work
of Irene Kopelman. She is deeply fascinated by natural phenomena and their acute impact on the
senses, and equally intrigued by the methods and tools we use to understand them. This book
focuses on glaciers, alpine forests, and mountain landscapes sculpted by avalanches, especially
their texture, morphology, and readability. It includes drawings and field notes made during
multiple trips to the Swiss Alps, as well as paintings produced later in the studio. Contributions by
various experts with whom she worked offer insight into glaciology, ecology, and art history.
