Susan Rothenberg first gained critical attention in the mid-seventies when she introduced the simple, outlined image of an animal onto the austere canvas of Minimalism. Since then, her exploration of the formal tenets of painting has been manifested through increasingly complex compositions, rendered in a recognizably gestural style. This combination has in part allowed for the consistent interpretation of the artist's work as being both emotionally intense and a serious contribution to the tradition of heroic painting.Since moving to the Southwest from New York City a decade ago, Rothenberg has created a body of work that is at once a continuation and evolution of previous concerns, and an expression of dramatic changes. Susan Rothenberg: Paintings from the Nineties, published on the occasion of a major exhibit of the artist's works from the past decade, brings together twenty of her most significant recent paintings. As these works have never been shown before as

Drawing as much from the techniques of photojournalism and the poetics of the New Novel as from the aesthetics of fine art, the photographs of Sophie Ristelhueber convey a world at once intensely personal and objectively restrained. Her camera embraces the scars of human existence, whether the devastation of a war-torn landscape, the furrows of a suture, or the hidden wounds of remembered childhood, conferring on each a personal resonance that echoes far beyond the events portrayed. Details of the World offers the first comprehensive overview of Ristelhueber's career, presenting a selection from all her major installations as well as previously unpublished recent work. She has also worked closely on the book's design, making it not only the best anthology of her images, but also an art object in and of itself.

MFA Publications

How can one understand what the artist's eye sees? In this volume, the first in an occasional series of monographs, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, confronts the specific vision of a contemporary artist, publishing reproductions of artwork chosen by that artist alongside his own pieces. The celebrated young figurative painter John Currin has here selected some 30 works of portraiture, ancient to modern, from the MFA's permanent collection, evaluating them as one might a friend, enemy, or lover--subjectively, passionately, at times irrationally, but always with a visceral sense of connection and personal insight. Currin pairs these portraits, which in their juxtaposition become a composite self-portrait, with commentary on the works and the ways in which they relate to his own painting.

The Paintings of SYLVIA PLIMACK MANGOLD.

Hudson Hills / Albright Knox

Recognized as an exceptional talent in the early 1990s, when she was just in her early 20s, British painter Jenny Saville (born 1970) has continued to renew and subvert the legacy of such masters as Rembrandt, de Kooning and Freud, with sometimes controversial interpretations of the human figure--primarily the female body--that expertly mingle the textures of paint and flesh. This volume, accompanying the first U.S. survey of the artist, includes already classic early paintings such as "Propped" (1992) alongside studies and more recent paintings and drawings on the theme of the mother and child. Saville's brushwork reveals an increased dynamism and looser gesture. Extended critical commentary by Cheryl Brutvan and Nicholas Cullinan discuss Saville's feminism and treatments of flesh throughout art history. Despite Saville's fame, there have been few opportunities to view her mature work, a lacuna this volume happily corrects.

Museum

Plimack Mangold's work has evolved from early renderings of floors, mirrors, and rooms to landscapes (by day and by night), skyscapes, and "portraits" of individual trees done at her outdoor Hudson River valley studio. She reinvented these traditional subjects by wrestling with the very process by which the artist creates illusion, then letting the viewer in on her secret by bordering the image with illusionary "masking tape" (meticulously recreated with paint and brush) that simultaneously acknowledges and denies the painted surface. This lavishly illustrated, full-color volume is published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition of Plimack Mangold's paintings organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, and traveling to Hartford, Houston, and Boston. Covering more than a quarter-century of work, it includes a monographic essay by Cheryl Brutvan, Curator at the Albright-Knox, as well as full documentation of the artist's career to date: Chronology, Selected Bibliography, and Selected Exhibitions and Reviews. It also reproduces a number of pages from the artist's notebooks, providing a rare, privileged glimpse at the thoughtful intelligence and aesthetic beliefs that underlie these magical canvases, canvases that give expression to the intimate reality of the artist's existence, give form to the intangible.
