Gerhard Richter - Colour Charts

Dominique Levy Gallery 2015 ISBN 9781944379018 Acqn 26726
Hb 23x31cm 140pp 106ills 91col 54
In 1966, German artist Gerhard Richter (born 1932) embarked on a series of paintings: uniform
grids of coloured rectangles or squares in a chart configuration against a white background,
inspired by industrially produced paint chips. With the exception of only one other painting, this
marked the artists first use of colour and a turning point in his career.
This comprehensive catalogue is the first publication dedicated to the original Colour Charts, both
those created in 1966 and those made in the 70s after a five-year hiatus. Featuring new essays
by Dietmar Elger, head of the Gerhard Richter Archive; Hubertus Butin, curator and author of
several key texts on Richter; and Jaleh Mansoor, professor at the University of British Columbia,
whose research concentrates on modern abstraction and its socio-economic implications, this is a
handsome tribute to one of Richters most groundbreaking bodies of work.

Alexander Calder - Multum in Parvo

Dominique Levy Gallery 2015 ISBN 9780986060656 Acqn 26718
Hb 25x34cm 164pp 80ills 62col 54
Multum in Parvo highlights the complex relationship between scale and size in the oeuvre of
Alexander Calder (18981976) over a period of more than 30 years.
As its title--translating to much in little--implies, the volume features over 40 rare small-scale
sculptures, ranging from the size of a thumb to 30 inches tall, all of which feature the same
physical qualities as Calders largest mobiles in the most miniature of detail.
In addition to archival material, installation photography of the sculptures in the environment
designed for them by architects Santiago and Gabriel Calatrava, and original architectural
sketches, the book also includes commissioned essays by Jed Perl, art historian and author
currently at work on the first full-length biography of Alexander Calder, and Paul Goldberger,
Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic, as well as poems by Karl Shapiro and John Updike.

Pb 22x34cm 168pp 128ills 102col 45
In the intricate wire sculptures of the German-born Venezuelan artist Gego (191294), lines are

sculpture of the 70s to the works on paper created at the end of her long career.

and Design in Basel, Switzerland; art historian Kaira Cabaas; and Gegos grandson, Daniel
Crespin; as well as previously unpublished archival material. The book also includes GEGO, a
new poem by poet, artist and composer Anne Tardos, performing a linguistic intervention in

Senga Nengudi
Dominique Levy Gallery 2015 ISBN 9781944379025 Acqn 26728
Pb 20x32cm 92pp 43ills 24col 27
In the 1970s, Colorado-based artist Senga Nengudi (born 1943) worked in Los Angeles as part of
an emerging community of African American artists that engaged with multiple radical political
movements underway in the US and around the globe, including the Black Power and feminist
movements. Using quotidian materials to create installations, sculptures, performances and
videos, these artists were key participants in the emergence of a postminimal aesthetic. This
volume features Nengudis recent nylon mesh pantyhose and sand sculptures that respond
directly to her performative, biomorphic series Rpondez sil vous plat (RSVP) (197577).
Engaging in a dialogue with both postminimalism and second-wave feminism, the stretched,
twisted and knotted fabric of the RSVP works and more recent Reverie sculptures recall
contorted flesh. Nengudis corporeal sculptures, which often suggest genitalia and breasts, take
on feminist associations as part-objects (to use psychoanalyst Melanie Kleins term) in the
absence of adjoining bodies.

Robert Motherwell - Elegy to the Spanish Republic

Dominique Levy Gallery 2015 ISBN 9781944379001 Acqn 26727
Hb 25x32cm 120pp 63ills 40col 49.50
Robert Motherwell (191591) came to abstraction not through painting, but through philosophy,
poetry and art history. While studying at Stanford, he was introduced to modernism and
symbolism; Mallarms dictum, To paint, not the thing, but the effect it provides, would prove
essential in Motherwells work. Elegy to the Spanish Republic is perhaps the most literal example
of this influence. Begun in 1948, the series, comprising some 150 canvases, was the artists
funeral song for something once cared about in abstract pictorial form.
Exploring the inextricable links between poetry, politics, writing and painting revealed in the
history of the series, this volume includes Harold Rosenbergs A Bird for Every Bird, Federico
Garca Lorcas Llanto por Ignacio Snchez Mejas, notes and writings by Motherwell on the
Spanish Civil War, scholarly essays and rare archival material.
