2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the ruthless arena of King Henry VIIIa??s court, only one man dares to gamble his life to win the kinga??s favor and ascend to the heights of political powerEngland in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years, and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. The quest for the kinga??s freedom destroys his adviser, the brilliant Cardinal Wolsey, and leaves a power vacuum. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell is a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people and a demon of energy: he is also a consummate politician, hardened by his personal losses, implacable in his ambition.

In inimitable style, Hilary Mantel presents a picture… [detailed...]

Description: England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years, and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe oppose him. The quest for the petulant king`s freedom destroys his advisor, the brilliant Cardinal Wolsey, and leaves a power vacuum and a deadlock. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell. Son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a bully and a charmer, Cromwell has broken all the rules of a rigid society in his rise to power, and is prepared to break some more. Rising from the ashes of personal disaster - the loss of his young family and of Wolsey, his beloved patron - he picks his way deftly through a court where `man is wolf to man.` Pitting himself against parliament, the political establishment and the papacy, he is prepared to reshape England to his own and Henrv`s desires. From one of our finest living writers,… [detailed...]

Wolf Kahn

1998 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the 1950s and 1960s a group of young artists forged a fresh, representational art that made use of the Abstract Expressionists` spontaneous brushwork and brilliant colour to document the world. One of the leaders of this group, Wolf Kahn, specialized in landscape painting, which he has developed over the last 40 years. This book aims to demonstrate how his use of colour has placed him at the forefront of American representational art. The text presents an overview of Kahn`s life and career - his childhood in Germany, his study at the Hans Hofman school, his early success as a latter-day Expressionist, and his ten years as a painter of austere, tonalist canvases, before he turned to the luminous landscapes that established his reputation. There is also an analytical essay by the painter and critic Louis Finkelstein which discusses the origins and value of Kahn`s fusion of abstraction and representation. [detailed...]

A remarkable story of heroism and adventure, of a boy who had to become a man too soon, of a family and a tribe who had to learn to win to survive. A man without a tribe was at great risk, so the young boy abandoned with his siblings on the harsh Mongolian plains had to struggle to avoid death. He survived both starvation and hostile attacks by learning remarkable leadership skills and gathering a group of outsiders like himself. Hunted and alone, he dreamed of uniting the tribes into one house, one nation. He became a great warrior. He would become father to his people. He would be Genghis Khan. [detailed...]

Description: Alongside portraits, Tillmans has expanded his subject to include architecture, landscape and still life, and he has produced installations of his work reminiscent of Raymond Pettibon and the collage techniques of the 1960s conceptual artists. From lifestyle magazines spreads Tillmans has moved to room-sized installations, for example of faraway views the concorde flying overhead (Chisenhale Gallery, London, 1997) as well as a series of found photographs of soldiers from newspapers (British Art Show, 1999). In such installations of his unframed photos stuck to the wall with tape like images cut-out of magazines, he references his own non-art origins and his continuing pursuit of breaking down the old-fashioned divisions between art, fashion and photography.

Wolfgang Tillmans: Lighter

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since winning the Turner Prize in 2000 for his 1990s oeuvre of portraits and snapshots, German-born photographer Wolfgang Tillmans has increasingly gravitated towards the abstract and material-specific properties of his medium. Following Blushes, the Freischwimmer series and the monochromatic Silver series, his most recent abstract works--of which the creased and folded Lighter series is perhaps the most significant--treat the photograph, and especially photographic paper itself, no longer as a reproductive medium, but as a material object. In Tillmans` `paper drop` photographs, the paper`s physical folds and curves are photographed to produce geometric, tactile compositions. Other works oscillate more elusively between photograph and object, always thriving in the interplay. `For me, the abstract picture is already objective because it`s a concrete object and represents itself,` Tillmans observes, `the paper on which the picture is printed is for me an object, there is no separating… [detailed...]

Wolfgang Tillmans

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Few artists have changed the manner in which photographic images are made, read, and received over the past two decades as dramatically as German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968). One of the most important and distinctive artists to emerge in the 1990s, Tillmans’s work is internationally recognized for its powerful reflections on the often overlooked objects and moments in everyday life. With images culled from the entirety of Tillmans’s career, this generously illustrated book accompanies the artist’s first retrospective exhibition in the United States and features the potent effects of his portraits, abstractions, and structural and sculptural motifs. Essays by leading scholars examine the context of the German art and pop cultural scene in which Tillmans first began working in the late 1980s, his use of magazines as both venue and source materials, his unique approach to portraiture, his ability to create a sense of intimacy between the viewer and… [detailed...]

Wolfgang Tillmans

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Wolfgang Tillmans is one of the most significant artists to have emerged in Europe in the 1990s. Working almost exclusively with the photographic image, the visual language and sensibility he has created have had a profound influence on both photography-based art practice and commercial photography. Tillmans first came to prominence in the early 1990s with the photo-spreads and fashion shoots he did for cult magazines such as `I-D`, `Index` and `Interview`. Blurring the distinctions between fine art and photography, fashion shoot and reportage, his apparently spontaneous images of gay pride activists, clubbers and eco-warriers led to him being hailed as a chronicler of his generation, a tag he insistently rejected. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at Tate Britain, Summer 2003, this book includes many previously unpublished images and presents an artist constantly developing his vision to encompass new aspects of the world that surrounds us.
