Accompanied the exhibition of the same name which featured contemporary pottery from the collection held at The Newark Museum; Includes pottery from the 1930s through to the twenty-first century from America Europe Asia and Africa; Wonderful photos and extensive annotations. "Despite the enormous interest in the works of contemporary studio potters worldwide surprisingly few books explore the best of these works in a large full-color format. Great Pots: Contemporary Ceramics from Function to Fantasy does exactly that. With a focus on The Newark Museum's collection it is both a feast for the eyes and a testament to the power of the pot. Striking images and fascinating commentary demonstrate how a small pot can be a masterpiece and how even the most outrageous sculptural vessels of the 1990s share fundamental meanings with the craft pots of the 1950s. Two hundred color photographs taken especially for this book invite the reader to explore and relish this collection of truly great pots."--BOOK JACKET. GUILD Publishing hardcover books
réf. 7582Many illus. Unpaginated. 8vo stiff pictorial boards cloth spine. Mexico City: Alias 2013. First edition an uncommon book examining Carrión's De Diefstal van het Jaar "exhibition" at the Drents Museum in 1982. This show entailed Ulises Carrion 1941-89 displaying a large diamond in a small and dark room of the museum without any visible security or restrictions as a social experiment. In the last decade of his life Carrión's practice involved similar investigations of societal norms and the dissemination of information. The previous year the artist had delved into the spread of gossip and rumors through social networks in the performance piece Gossip Scandal and Good Manners in which he concocted rumors about himself to observe how they spread. Pairing new essays presented in Spanish & English by Martha Hellion and Paulo Silveira with Claudio Goulart's original photography documenting the exhibition this work reveals new details about Carrión's intentions and the execution of this daring show. This publication is part of Alias's Antítesis series no. 3. As new. The very rare flyer promoting De Diefstal van het Jaar is reproduced on the cover. unknown books

The titular exchanges in Arguments are indicated only by the names of the participants with no reference to the actual content of their disagreements.
