This month we’ve uncovered a few beautiful, collectible titles from contemporary art heavy hitters Elizabeth Peyton, Jack Pierson, William Kentridge and Lisa Yuskavage. Elizabeth Peyton, the 2006 Larry Aldrich Award winner, is most known for her portraits of close friends and pop icons. Her work has been presented in over 50 exhibitions including the 2004 Whitney Biennial and "Drawing Now" at the MOMA (curated by our own Laura Hoptman), and is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France, and The Walker Museum, Minneapolis among others. This limited edition title documents over 40 etchings, monotypes, lithographs and Ukiyo-e woodcuts from 1998-2006. Many of the works come from Peyton’s own private inventory, and therefore have never been seen before. Desire/Despair, from Rizzoli, surveys the prolific career of artist Jack Pierson. This stunning 288 page publication, printed on fine paper, presents a variety !
of the reoccurent themes in Pierson’s work: lost love, sexual longing, faded glamour, fleeting moments, and sentimental musings and includes never-before-published celebrity portraits . For those of you who missed painter Lisa Yuskavage’s show this Fall, David Zwirner released a small catalog of her ethereal, unsettling and sexually charged paintings of women. Peter Schjeldahl, of the Village Voice, describes Yuskavage's work as,”…beautiful in the same way that it is dire: hanging fire, always incipient, deliberately never fulfilled.” Touted as the “premier bad-girl artist” by the New York Times, Yuskavage has held solo shows internationally at David Zwirner, Marianne Boesky Gallery, Luhring Augustine, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, the Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva, among others. Videobrasil, Brazil’s premiere video art organization, produced Certain Doubts, a new documentary about William Kentridge. Partially shot in grainy super-8 stock, a referen!
ce to Kentridge’s signature charcoal drawings, this is certainly a mus
t have for any William Kentridge fan or collector.
What’s next? The New Art, from London-based publisher Raschminoff’s, provides an insiteful overview of recent trends in contemporary art, such as the increasing importance of art fairs, the reinstatement of different forms of satire, visual and language intersections in artists’ works, amongst other salient currents. Cartune Xprez will bring you up to date on the world of contemporary computer animation through loops and shorts by Takeshi Murata, Michael Bell -Smith, Paper Rad, Shana Moulton, and many others. The artists on this limited editioned DVD are receiving an increasing amount of attention. Videos by Michael Bell-Smith and Takeshi Murata were recently featured in They Heart A Computer, a night of video and performance at the Kitchen curated by Lauren Cornell for Rhizome's Tenth Anniversary Festival. Michael Bell-South also recently had a solo exhibition at Foxy Production gallery, and had an original gif animation in The Gif Show curated by Rhizome curator Marisa O!
lsen (myspace.com/thegifshow) and at Rx Gallery in San Francisco. Equally colorful and chaotic, Brian Chippendale’s Ninja is an oversized comic book from Picturebox, Inc, who produced the popular Taylor Mckimens Drips comic. This is the first book by Chippendale, whose vibrant, detailed, and frenzied drawings have graced numerous comic books, posters and album covers for many years now.
