The Orange County Museum of Art presents the largest exhibition of di Suvero s sculpture ever assembled on the West Coast. The clarity, size, and pure abstraction of the pieces demonstrate an affinity with Abstract Expressionism. Mark di Suvero: Orange County includes seven major works of sculpture created during the 1990 s, each of which reveals the artist s masterful technical ability and his profoundly expressive nature. Published in 1998 by The Orange County Museum of Art.

Hess finds, and presents in his paintings, universal meanings in common activities and in the exchanges that occur between people in the most ordinary of situations. His characters hurt, help, ignore, and desire on another, and we recognize their longing, anxiety, awkwardness, and grace because it is true to our own life experience. Featuring an essay by Richard Vine and commentary by the artist. Published in 2001 by The Orange County Museum of Art. Comes in a hardcover slipcase.

History & Criticism

Imagine a girls' night out with Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Elina Brotherus, Dorit Cypis, Rineke Dijkstra, Katy Grannan, Sarah Jones, Kelly Nipper, Daniela Rossell, Shirana Shahbazi, and Salla Tykka. Imagine a very particular kind of girl talk, one that crisscrosses generations and nations, that openly and fluidly recognizes gender differences and sexual necessities, that delves deeply into psychology and lyricism. A conversation that's moved beyond challenging or critiquing feminist archetypes--but knows how it got to that point, thank you early feminism. The women artists represented in this catalogue create works that possess a quasi-documentary feel and a directness of approach, that engage such classical representational subjects as landscape, portraiture, and self-portraiture. They acknowledge their predecessors, the feminist photography, film, and performance artists of the 70s and 80s, but have moved on to confidently explore feminist identity, especially in the adolescent girl, and produce imagery that is compellingly, and resoundingly, uncertain and contradictory.

Villa America: American Moderns, 1900-1950

Armstrong, Elizabeth

Villa America: American Moderns, 1900-1950 documents for the first time one of the world's most celebrated private collections of early twentieth-century American art. Curtis Galleries, Inc. founder Myron Kunin has spent much of his life slowly amassing major paintings by key American modernists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Romare Bearden, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Philip Guston, Marsden Hartley and Alice Neel--artists who reshaped America's understanding of itself at the beginning of the twentieth century. Villa America, which takes its title from a 1922 Gerald Murphy painting, presents 75 canvases from 48 of the most important artists of the era. Its powerful illustrations range from members the Stieglitz Circle to the painters of the American Scene. Much of the work shown has rarely been seen before. Kunin's taste is distinctive, and the work's appeal is universal.
