Copublished with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for the major touring retrospective and concurrent exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this comprehensive volume illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell's incredibly diverse and exciting body of work--from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether he's projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light"--evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date--from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr.

Drawing on the avant-garde movements of both Expressionism and Surrealism, the women of Abstract Expressionism redefined artistic practice as an immersive arena for action, process and consciousness. Their paintings were regarded not as images but as events. Although the movement officially began in mid-century USA, it quickly - through myriad means - spread around the world and became a catalyst for redefining ideas around aesthetics, poetry, philosophy and politics.

This new publication, accompanying a major European touring exhibition, will include works by 40 artists from across the globe, from well-known practitioners such as Carmen Herrera, Etel Adnan, Sandra Blow and Helen Frankenthaler, to lesser-known names from countries such as Australia, China, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Mozambique, Romania and Venezuela: women who took up the ideas and methodologies of the movement but endowed them with specific cultural and subjective dimensions.

The catalaogue will include essays by Christian Levett, Joan Marter, Agustin Perez Rubio and Elizabeth Smith, as well as full colour illustrations of all the works.

"Ognuno sprofonda nel proprio universo pittorico, con modalità che acquistano spessore e durata con il passare degli anni. Quel dipingere che anima le loro vite come un imperativo a cui non potersi sottrarre. Dipingere è la sola intima necessità per entrambi: forse l'unico vero segreto del loro legame indissolubile."

"Attraversare Genova" propone un excursus nell'arte e nella cultura degli anni Sessanta e Settanta del Novecento, due decenni di avvenimenti che hanno visto Genova protagonista e culla sperimentale di esperienze nell'ambito delle arti visive, dell'architettura, del cinema, del teatro, della musica, della grafica e del fumetto. Curato da Sandra Solimano, il volume - che accompagna l'esposizione allestita al Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Villa Croce - propone una riflessione su quegli anni per riscoprire il fermento culturale cui hanno contribuito artisti genovesi, italiani e stranieri che hanno vissuto e lavorato in città; un viaggio metaforico che ci porta ad "attraversare" Genova e rivivere l'atmosfera che permeava la città in un periodo storico intenso.
