Over four decades of work from an artist whose heavily layered paintings evoke a rich and poetic densityAustrian painter Franz Jenull (1949-2017) created layered, overpainted works centered on the anatomical figure, and which straddle figuration and abstraction. This volume is the first overview of his practice and surveys all major phases of his career since 1980.

At first sight, the childlike figures for which Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara is now famous seem altogether cute and appealing. On closer examination his creations are robust, angry and vulnerable creatures, standing up defiantly to the world of adults--self-confident, stubborn and sometimes violent. Nara's work is influenced by Japanese comic books but he is unique in the contemporary art scene for tapping into horror through the medium of the innocent child--this is particularly poignant in Japan's controlled society of rigid language and social structures, especially considering recent shockingly violent crimes in Japan involving children as the aggressors. Nara's work instills the viewer with a juxtaposition of the innocence of children and the evil nature of humanity, or the fall from grace. Like Kurt Cobain's music, Nara's Pop art, too, aims to lend expression to his generation's concerns, encouraging it to meet the constraints of high achievement. Self-determination, individuality, and freedom are themes that infuse Nara's voice that is clearly heard in Japan and America, where the dividing line between "low" and "high" culture is less stringently drawn than in Europe. In addition to Nara's signature paintings, sculptures, and drawings; (poems and diary entries by the artist); this 204-page book includes texts by the art critic Stephan Trescher and the Japanese cult author Banana Yoshimoto.

Over the past four decades, Richard Artschwager has produced a body of work that could not be more varied in form. Unconventional and unpredictable, it is often difficult to say whether a given work is a painting, sculpture, or furniture, so much so that the American conceptual artist is regarded as the inventor of "furniture sculpture." Presented here are his furniture-like pieces, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations--sometimes these are components of just one of the many works featured. Interspersed with the works is a series of 5 essays. Also included are Artschwager's autochronology, a list of works from the exhibition, and a comprehensive documentation of selected exhibitions (with black and white thumbnails of the pieces), and a selected bibliography.
