Cloudline
A House by Toshiko Mori Published by Hatje Cantz.
Text by Andres Lepik, Toshiko Mori, Colm Tóibín. Photographs by Iwan Baan. Cloudline is a unique building designed by New York-based architect Toshiko Mori in collaboration with gallerists Sean and Mary Kelly, and situated on the slopes of the Hudson River. Works by Joseph Beuys, Jannis Kounellis, Juan Munoz and Ian Hamilton Finlay escort the visitor into a space that, with its aluminum-framed panoramic windows and its plain concrete floors, serves as the perfect minimalist canvas for the art within. Nearly a dozen of the artists whose works are featured in the site have created new works especially for this publication. Also included here is an essay by the novelist Colm Tóibín, in which he describes the collection, meditating on works by artists such as Marina Abramovic, Los Carpinteros, James Casebere, Iran do Espírito Santa, Antony Gormley, Laurent Grasso, Callum Innes, Joseph Kosuth, Wolfgang Laib, Peter Liversidge and Anthony McCall.
