Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. This compelling narrative goes behind the scenes with the worlds most important living artists to humanize and demystify contemporary art.The best-selling author of Seven Days in the Art World now tells the story of the artists themselves-how they move through the world, command credibility, and create iconic works.33 Artists in 3 Acts offers unprecedented access to a dazzling range of artists, from international superstars to unheralded art teachers. Sarah Thornton's beautifully paced, fly-on-the-wall narratives include visits with Ai Weiwei before and after his imprisonment and Jeff Koons as he woos new customers in London, Frankfurt, and Abu Dhabi. Thornton meets Yayoi Kusama in her studio around the corner from the Tokyo asylum that she calls home. She snoops in Cindy Shermans closet, hears about Andrea Frasers psychotherapist, and spends quality time with Laurie Simmons, Carroll Dunham, and their daughters Lena and Grace.Through these intimate scenes, 33 Artists in 3 Acts explores what it means to be a real artist in the real world. Divided into three cinematic "acts"-politics, kinship, and craft-it investigates artists' psyches, personas, politics, and social networks. Witnessing their crises and triumphs, Thornton turns a wry, analytical eye on their different answers to the question "What is an artist?"33 Artists in 3 Acts reveals the habits and attributes of successful artists, offering insight into the way these driven and inventive people play their game. In a time when more and more artists oversee the production of their work, rather than make it themselves, Thornton shows how an artists radical vision and personal confidence can create audiences for their work, and examines the elevated role that artists occupy as essential figures in our culture. 44 illustrations, 3 maps.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated. In the face of unparalleled growth and a truly global audience, the popularity of contemporary art has clearly become a double-edged affair. Today, an unprecedented number of museums, galleries, biennial-style exhibitions, and art fairs display new work in all its variety, while art schools continue to inject fresh talent onto the scene at an accelerated rate. In the process, however, contemporary art has become deeply embedded not only in an expanding art industry, but also the larger cultures of fashion and entertainment.Buskirk argues that understanding the dynamics of art itself cannot be separated from the business of presenting art to the public. As strategies of institutional critique have given way to various forms of collaboration or accommodation, both art and museum conventions have been profoundly altered by their ongoing relationship. The escalating market for contemporary art is another driving force. Even as art remains an idealized activity, it is also understood as a profession, and in increasingly obvious ways a business, particularly as practiced by star artists who preside over branded art product lines."The fraught relationship between contemporary art and commerce is a frequent topic of conversation in the art world, but few have addressed it with the lucidity and intelligence that Martha Buskirk has achieved in her new book, Creative Enterprise: Contemporary Art between Museum and Marketplace. With wry humor, Buskirk examines contemporary art's complicated network 'from the biennial circuit to auction.' She places special emphasis on how museums now simultaneously instigate and co-opt what once was thought to be critical discourse as they become ever more aligned with the burgeoning marketplace for culture: the experience economy. This is an eye-opening must read for artists, museum professionals, art students, and members of the museum-going public."--Jane Farver, Consulting Director, Prospect New Orleans"If you are interested in the institutions of art, then Martha Buskirk's intelligent, informative book is a must-read."--Sarah Thornton, author of Seven Days in the Art World"As the director of a museum dedicated fully to contemporary art, I am happy to welcome Martha Buskirk's book as a significant addition to the field of museum studies. Buskirk is a perpetually engaging writer, and her pages overflow with the most provocative, humorous and informative case studies of the often confounding installations and exhibitions that occur in current art practice. She examines the layers of causality in which the creation of institutions dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art have called into being a type of art that would be unthinkable prior to their existence.Buskirk works through individual artists' motivations with clear descriptions of the art works, and while she listens intently to the makers' stated intentions she nonetheless enjoys critically examining the works in the context of similar artistic provocations and pushing on their often overlooked conceptual gaps. This is a great primer for both neophytes and arts professionals trying to clearly see the place of nontraditional artworks in today's museum landscape."--Bill Arning, Director, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston.

Excerpt: Dame Jane Drew, DBE, FRIBA (24 March 1911 ¿ 27 July 1996) was an English modernist architect and town planner. She qualified at the AA School in London, and prior to World War II became one of the leading exponents of the Modern Movement in London. At the time she had her first office, with the idea of employing only female architects, architecture was a male dominated profession. She was active during and after World War II, designing social and public housing in England, West Africa, India and Iran. With her second husband Maxwell Fry she worked in West Africa designing schools and universities, and with Fry and Pierre Jeanneret, on the housing at Chandigarh, the new capital of the Punjab. She designed buildings in Ghana, Nigeria, Iran and Sri Lanka, and she wrote books on what she had learnt about architecture there. In London she did social housing, buildings for the Festival of Britain, and helped to establish the Institute of Contemporary Arts. After retiring from practice she travelled and lectured abroad, receiving several honorary degrees. She was awarded the DBE in the 1996 New Years Honours List, seven months before her death. Drew was born as Iris Estelle Radcliffe Drew in Thornton Heath, Croydon, Surrey, but her name was registered a few days later as Joyce Beverly Drew. Her father, Harry Guy Radcliffe Drew, was a designer of surgical instruments and the founder of the British Institute of Surgical Technicians. He was a humanist who 'despised the profit motive and abhorred cruelty'. Her mother was Emma Spering Jones, a school teacher, who when Jane was only four became lame for the rest of her life as the result of a road accident: but she continued to care well for her two daughters, encouraging them in her two main interests which were observation of nature and appreciation of art, and she had a keen business sense. Jane had an older sister, Dorothy Drew (1909¿1989), who became a physician. Jane Drew was educated at Woodford House School in Croydon th 58 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group formed in 1994. The members consist of Victoria Beckham (née Adams), Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell. They are signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, 'Wannabe' in 1996, which hit number-one in more than 30 countries and helped establish the group as a 'global phenomenon'. Credited for being the pioneers that paved the way for the commercial breakthrough of teen pop in the late 1990s, their debut album, Spice, sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in music history. They have sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling female group of all time. Measures of their success include international record sales, a 2007-2008 reunion tour, merchandising, record-breaking achievements, iconic symbolism such as Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress, representing 'Girl Power,' a box-office film, Spice World, and their internationally recognized nicknames. Under the guidance of their mentor and manager Simon Fuller, the group embraced merchandising and became a regular feature of the British press. In 19. 192 pp. Englisch.
