Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. Retrospective Monograph. One of the most beautiful books on the art of Noe Katz. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Monograph is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Noe Katz: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Art by Noe Katz. Essay by Luis Martin Lozano in both the Spanish original and felicitous English translation. The piece is one of the most illuminating Introductions to Noe Katz's recognizable-yet-unclassifiable art. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Mexico to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a lovely collectible format, "Noe Katz: Paintings". A virtuoso multi-media artist who works in sculpture, installation, and prints, one of the most brilliant Mexican artists of our time. Still, Noe (pronounced as two syllables, "No-e") Katz is best-known and celebrated for his exquisitely rendered paintings, which remain his foundational achievement. Katz studied at the School of Design Mexico City before pursuing further studies at the legendary Academy of Fine Arts Florence. He is often inevitably compared to the artists of Latin-American Modernism in that his work is multi-disciplinary and representative of two- and three-dimensional art forms. His body of work, which now spans painting, drawing, print-making, sculpture, and murals, are blendings of figures with objects and landscapes. The lapidary finesse (indeed, perfection) of Katz's paintings looks beyond Modernism towards Post-Modernism. What is especially fascinating is that his Cubist-inspired (but not Cubist) , geometrically precise renderings of human beings as humanoid figures do not allude to the future, as they normally do in other artists' works and in science-fiction films, but rather to the present, in the most eerily beautiful way, and insistently so. "A personal imagery that reveals itself very slowly, with tints of mystery and irony. It is about a hidden discourse - not from the subconscious - that comes from the reasoning of a different logic, sublime messages that spring from everyday events and have nothing to do with belated surrealisms. Anticlerical, political, critical, and anarchistic all at once" (Luis Martin Lozano) . His works are in the Museo de Arte Moderno Mexico City, the Museum of Latin-American Art Long Beach, California, and the Tokoro Museum of Modern Art Japan, among other major venues. An absolute "must-have" title for Noe Katz collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, placed, dated (in the month and year of publication) , and inscribed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the artist: "To Andy Bluhm, With my best regards, Noe Katz 13/VIII/98 Mexico". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, is the well-known American art figure. This title is a contemporary art monograph classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the Retrospective Monograph available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

In a timely Introduction, Christopher de Hamel, curator of Western and Oriental manuscripts at Sotheby's, illuminates the world of medieval manuscripts and writes of the enormous veneration of these books, both then and now. De Hamel highlights the evolution of the commercial value of books and of the passion for book collecting, exemplified today by the thrill of a rare-book auction..

ISBN 9781912554751. This volume honors Maryan W. Ainsworth, curator emerita at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and former adjunct professor at Barnard College, whose work as a scholar, curator, and teacher has profoundly impacted the study of early northern European painting. Contributions by leading specialists from museums and academia, including former interns and fellows, reflect Ainsworth?s emphasis on the centrality of the object and on the interdisciplinary methods of technical art history, while also paying homage to the variety of Ainsworth?s research interests as a whole. The essays explore topics such as the working methods of individual artists, workshop practice, artistic collaboration, and patronage across a range of media?mainly painting, but also manuscript illumination, drawing, tapestry, sculpture, and stained glass.

Does color have an effect on our feelings? The phenomenon of color is examined in extraordinary new ways in John Gage's latest book. His pioneering study is informed by the conviction that color is a contingent, historical occurrence whose meaning, like language, lies in the particular contexts in which it is experienced and interpreted.Gage covers topics as diverse as the optical mixing techniques implicit in mosaic; medieval color-symbolism; the equipment of the manuscript illuminator's workshop, the color languages and color practices of Latin America at the time of the Spanish Conquest; the earliest history of the prism; and the color ideas of Goethe and Runge, Blake and Turner, Seurat and Matisse.From the perspective of the history of science, Gage considers the bearing of Newton's optical discoveries on painting, the chemist Chevreul's contact with painters and the growing interest of experimental psychologists in the topic of color in the late nineteenth century, particularly in relation to synaesthesia. He includes an invaluable overview of the twentieth-century literature that bears on the historical interpretation of color in art. Gage's explorations further extend the concepts he addressed in his prize-winning book, Color and Culture, University Of California Press, 1999-06, 5, Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2017. Cloth, xiii, 272 pages, illustrations (some colour); 25 cm. SIGNED. Boldly signed by Martin Kemp on the half-title page, no dedication. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "For the world's greatest cultural icon still has secrets to reveal--not the silly secrets that the 'Leonardo loonies' continue to advance, but previously unknown facts about the lives of Leonardo, his father, Lisa Gherardini, the subject of the portrait, and her husband Francesco del Giocondo. From this factual beginning we see how the painting metamorphosed into a 'universal picture' that became the prime vehicle for Leonardo's prodigious knowledge of the human and natural worlds. We learn about the new money of the ambitious merchant who married into the old gentry of Lisa's family. We discover Lisa's life as a wife and mother, her association with sexual scandals, and her later life in a convent. We meet, for the first time, the illegitimate Leonardo's real mother and find out where he was really born. The tiny hill town of Vinci is placed before us, with its widespread poverty. We find out about the career and possessions of his father, a notable lawyer in Florence. The meaning of the portrait that resulted from these human circumstances is vividly illuminated though Renaissance love poetry and verses specifically dedicated to Leonardo. We come to understand how Leonardo's sciences of optics, psychology, anatomy and geology are embraced in his poetic science of art. Recent scientific examinations of the painting disclose how it evolved to assume its present appearance in Leonardo's experimental hands. Above all, we cut though the suppositions and the myths to show that the portrait is a product of real people in a real place at a real time. This is the book that brings back a sense of reality into the creation of the portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. And the actual Mona Lisa, it turns out, is even more astonishing and transcendent than the Mona Lisa of legend." - Publisher.
