The core values at the heart of the Anderson Collection - one of the most important private art collections in the United States - can be described as the tension between abstraction and figuration and an interest in the artist's hand. This beautiful catalog from the San Francisco MOMA, features masterpieces by Pollock, Stella, Rauschenberg, Giacometti, Diebenkorn, Lichtenstein, Warhol, and many more. There is an informative essay on the history of the collection, plus eleven additional pieces that offer a focused look at specific works such as Nolde's Head of a Woman, Pollock's Lucifer, and Jasper John's Land's End.

History & Criticism

Published on the occasion of the U.S. premiere of Jeremy Blake's new Winchester trilogy, this lush and strikingly designed catalogue presents three of the artist's short films: Winchester, 1906 and Century 21--inspired by the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. The Winchester mansion was built over the course of nearly 20 years by Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester Rifles fortune, who, after the deaths of her daughter and husband, became fascinated with spiritualism and convinced that she was cursed by the ghosts of people killed by Winchester firearms. According to her spiritual advisors, the noise of ongoing construction would help ward off evil ghosts, so she began building what would become a 160-room Victorian, full of bizarre architectural features, which was still unfinished when she died in 1922. Winchester presents a turning point in Blake's work, as the films include not only his well-known digital compositions, but also ink drawings and recognizable footage of the Winchester mansion and its environs. Overlaid, juxtaposed and morphing in and out of one another, these elements combine in an intensely expressionistic and non-narrative manner, evoking Winchester's trouble mind as she tried to rebuild her home. The films call into question traditional cinematic modes of storytelling: cultural mythologies surrounding guns; violence and the American West; and the relationship between physical and simulated reality in the digital age.
