Here is the first major book on the life and work of the dean of Native American sculptors Born on a small farm in Oklahoma more than seventy years ago Houser his Indian name is Haozous written as Haozous is today an internationally celebrated artist As a gifted interpreter of the changing tribal world he knows so well he has created a unique sculptural legacy The direct emotional appeal of his work is universal It is represented in such diverse collections as those of the US Mission to the United Nations Princess Anne of Great Britain the Duke and Duchess of Bedford Robert Redford the Dahlem Museum West Berlin and many other individualsmuseumsinstitutions and corporations in the United States and abroad Seeing the sophisticated sculptural art of Allan Houser which ranges in style from almost purely representational genre pieces to totally abstract works in steel bronze and stone it is hard to realize that he was born only a short time after his people were released from twentyseven years of captivity by the US Government His father Sam Haozous was one of the small band of Apaches captured with Geronimo in 1886 From his father Houser acquired a deep understanding and appreciation of his tribal heritagewhich had been carried into almost all of his work directly or indirectly The text of this book skillfully interweaves Housers life as an artist and his personal background fully discussing the work in terms of their origins aesthetic characteristics and relation to the history of sculpture while revealing the artists philosophy and view of the world The author shows that Houser has always been alert to the directions of his contemporaries such as Noguchi Moore and Hepworth but has been steadfast in finding his own Way Illustrated are nearly 300 works 132 of them in full color as well as many rare and fascinating photographs documenting the story of Allan Houser and his people

These paintings from Allan Kaprow never had been seenAllan Kaprow 19272006 is internationally renowned mainly as an action artist Not only did he coin the term Happeninghe gave distinction to this art form in New York in the late 1950s Also his environmentshuge changeable installations made from material such as car tires drums and ice blocks are regarded as milestones in recent art history Allan Kaprow did however began his artistic career as a painter not least in connection with his studies under Hans Hofmann in addition he studied art history under Meyer Shapiro and composition with John Cage He was therefore not only open to theory at an early stage but also to various artistic and interpretative approaches He always moved between the tensionfilled areas of intuition open form and time reference on the one hand and the reflexive practice as a theoretician and art historian on the other The exhibition at Villa Merkel in Esslingen was for the first time exclusively dedicated to his early paintings from the time between 1946 and 1957 and reveals the role models the young artist chose to follow and work on and in particular his interest in questions on space as well as his endeavor to somehow contextualize the achievements of Jackson Pollock and John Cage This extends to the works created during the mid1950s which he called action collages and in which he gradually incorporated everyday materials and objects The current book presents a large number of previously unseen paintings by Allan Kaprow nbspExhibition Villa Merkel Esslingen 1932852017

An examination of an experiential and experimental art form that despite its evanescence has shaped participatory art into the presentHappenings have pop connotations that conjure up 1960s youth culture and hippies in public joyful rebellion Scholars meanwhile locate happenings in a genealogy of avantgarde performance that descends from futurism surrealism and Dada through the action painting of the 1950s In Radical Prototypes Judith Rodenbeck argues for a more complex etiology Allan Kaprow coined the term in 1958 to name a new collage form of performance calling happenings radical prototypes of performance art Rodenbeck offers a rigorous art historical reading of Kaprows project and related artworks She finds that these experiential and experimental works offered not a happy communalism but a strong and canny critique of contemporary sociality Happenings she argues were far more ambivalent negative and even creepy than they have been portrayed either in contemporaneous accounts or in more recent efforts to connect them to contemporary arts participatory strategiesIn Radical Prototypes Rodenbeck recovers the critical force of happenings addressing them both as theoretical objects and as artworks investigating broader epistemological and formal concerns as well as their material and performative aspects She links happenings to scores by John Cage especially 433 avantgarde theater and photography and offers new readings of projects ranging from Kaprows 18 Happenings in 6 Parts 1959 to Gerhard Richters Leben mit Pop 1963Rodenbeck casts happenings as a form of participatory art that simultaneously delivers a radical critique of that very participationa view that revises our understanding of contemporary constructions of the participatory as well as of 1960s projects from Fluxus to conceptual art

Since the beginning The Imp of the Perverse has haunted his life and art Now Edgar Allan Poe relentlessly shadowed by this destructive force finds himself on the brink of extinction Comatose in a Baltimore hospital he creates the fiction of his own demise which seeks to reclaim every soul ever quickened by his imagination The Raven compels all inexorably toward implosion a unified culmination of the creators mind an enactment of the cataclysm told in Eureka Poes vision of the great cosmic collapse There is one who resists the dark and lovely Lenore With her lover Danton Reynolds she finds herself fleeing not only from the shackles of slavery but also from the powerful will of the master who would have her once again by his side his darling his darling his life and his bride Unlikely allies aide the desperate fugitives in their flight C Auguste Dupin the famous detective created as the rational avatar of Poes own mind is on a mission to find and save his creator from imminent dissolution and thereby save himself Through decoding a series of encrypted messages left by Poe to guide and at the same time deceive the detective Dupin has found himself always one step behind the elusive master Also swept up in this cosmic drama is the distraught and lonely servant resurrected from the dead and given the overwhelming task of restoring moral balance to the soul of the great writer It is these two who convince Lenore and Danton that the only hope for salvation lies in the medium of the lovers own legend If they are not to be subsumed as characters in Poes tale they must absorb him into theirs The stage is set for the Armageddon but it takes the dark evil and perverse thing which has been pursuing all of them since they left Richmond to force the ultimate showdown A terrifying finale is played out in the maelstrom of Poes imagination from it can emerge only one survivor in this the last narrative of Edgar Allan Poe
