Essays by Dan Cameron, Achille Bonito Oliva, Jean Hubert Martin, Cornelia Lauf, Irina Karasik, Olesya Turkina and Nena Dimitrijevic.The Sarajevo-born artist Braco Dimitrijev'c has forged a strongly personal and original artistic path through the great movements of the postwar period, from kinetic and op art to conceptual and performance art. Throughout his work, he has returned to questions of fame and fate: what is it that catapults certain people into the historical limelight, and what causes others to be mere "casual passersby"? Dimitrijevic gained international attention in the 1970s for his supersized portraits of unknown subjects hung in large public spaces, and ever since his work has been focused on questions of "post-history," a set of ideas he formulated in 1976. This monograph provides a comprehensive look at his arresting theory in action.

Essays by Jan Avgikos, Bridget Alsdorf, Daniel Abadie, Ivy Barsky, Jennifer Blessing, Marek Bartelik, Tracey Bashkoff, Susan Cross, Matthew Drutt, Cornelia Lauf, Ingrid Schaffner, Fiona J. Ragheb, Nancy Spector, Joan Young, et al.From Picasso to Pollock highlights the history of the aesthetic vanguard from early Modernism through Abstract Expressionism. With distinctive focus yet remarkable comprehensiveness, From Picasso to Pollock unites the major artists and developments of the first half of the twentieth century through significant examples of non-objective, Cubist, Surrealist, Expressionist and Abstract Expressionist painting and sculpture. A deep and broad assembly of masterpieces has been chosen from the Guggenheim's formative collection, and through it the viewer may perceive the era of Modern art emerging in all its diversity and complexity. Included here are reproductions of and short texts on seminal works by Brancusi, Braque, Chagall, de Kooning, Delaunay, Ernst, Fontana, Kandinsky, Klee, Léger, Malevich, Matisse, Miró, Modigliani, Mondrian, Popova and Schiele. Narrative biographies on a number of these artists are included, as well as a short, illustrated history of the collection by Lisa Dennison. From Picasso to Pollock is the second in a trilogy from the Guggenheim which highlights the greatest strengths of the museum's collection. The first title, Moving Pictures, showcased contemporary photography and video, and the third, Primary Forms, considered Minimalism, Conceptualism and their more contemporary progeny.

Edited by Alessandra Capodiferro and Cornelia Lauf. Essays by Milton Gendel, Marella Caracciolo, Elizabeth Minchilli and Carolina Vincenti.Georgina Masson is the literary pseudonym of Marion Johnson (1912-1980), “Babs” to her friends. An English citizen, Johnson was born in the Far East and lived and traveled in her youth throughout Africa, Europe and Asia. She settled in Rome in the early 1940s and remained in Italy until her return to England in 1978. A photographer and historian of architecture from ancient Rome to medieval Sicily, Masson was a profound and passionate connoisseur of Rome. Her celebrated Companion Guide to Rome, first published in 1965, and numerous photographic guides reveal her indefatigable curiosity and lively interests. The author of many studies and biographies, she devoted much effort to a study of Rome and Italian architecture, with particular attention to villas and gardens. As an expert on this subject matter, she published her own photographs in major publications such as Italian Villas and Palaces and Italian Villas and Gardens, published in 1959 and 1961 respectively. In Rome, she assiduously frequented the American Academy, to which she bequeathed her legacy of a lifetime of negatives. A veritable treasure trove, the photographs stem from the 1950s through the 70s--a selection of them is reproduced here.

Essays by Volker Harlan, Cornelia Lauf, Gisela Maul, Sebastiano Maffetone and Johannes Stuttgen.Katharina Sieverding, known for her merciless reexamination of Germany's historic past in Fassbinder-esque videos, here delves into the scientific collection of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Sieverding's contribution to the already vast literature on Goethe and his scientific vision compares the delicacy of eighteenth-century botanical studies with the dramatic past of the Weimar Republic.

Essays by Cornelia Lauf, Ludovico Pratesi.Up-and-coming designer Konstantin Grcic works with everyday objects--everyday objects that just happen to have belonged to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. These apparently banal objects--which lost their importance and were forgotten after Goethe's death over 150 years ago--are now reinterpreted by Grcic, the artist whom Achille Castiglioni considers his ''spiritual heir.'' Among the objects is a pair of the great writer's boots, one of his belts, several buttons, a glove and various precious stones. Grcic juxtaposes these objects with his own creations: ashtrays, washbasins, pens and hangers. Grcic is also responsible for the graphic design of this volume, making it a truly unique document.

Essays by Cornelia Lauf, Ludovico Pratesi,Katharina Sieverding is internationally recognized for her videos that recall the suggestive atmosphere and subtle mix of the comic and tragic of a Fassbinder film. Like Fassbinder, her approach to German culture and society is relentlessly critical and revealing in her merciless reexamination of German history. In this book of her equally sharp photographic work, Sieverding studies the scientific collection of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, comparing the precision of his scientific undertakings with the dramatic past of the Weimar. She has also designed the publication herself, making it a kind of artist's book and allowing her control over her endlessly clever artistic vision. Born in Prague in 1944, Sieverding studied under Joseph Beuys at the State Academy of Art in Dsseldorf, and currently lives and works in both Dsseldorf and Berlin. Her work has been exhibited all over the world, including the Venice, Paris and Sydney Biennials, and she was awarded the German Critics' Prize in 1994.
