Review Philip Guston: Paintings 1947-1979 / Hatje Cantz Publishers:

Essays by Michael Auping, Martin Hentschel, and Christoph Schreier. Philip Guston belongs to the generation of American postwar artists who were the first to free themselves from the great example of European art. But unlike his Abstract Expressionist colleagues, Guston did not remain faithful to just one style, but developed a variety of different forms of expression. In the 1930s he began under the banner of socially committed surrealism, and by the end of the 40s he had arrived at abstraction. From that time on, he created the large-format, powerful color paintings that established his international reputation. But in the mid-60s, Guston returned to a kind of symbolic realism with disturbing power. His late works are dominated by mysterious imagery of great intensity, and have had a major influence on younger artists. In this book, well-known experts focus not only on his early works, but also on the late, realistic Guston, revealing his artistic development from the late 40s to the end of the 70s.

Review Jake Chapman: The Marriage of Reason & Squalor / FUEL Publishing:

In his first work of fiction, artist Jake Chapman slashes the romantic novel down to bare bone and constructs his own disfigured version from the slaughtered remains. Chlamydia Love is gifted her very own tropical island by her fiance, where she develops a grudging adoration for its real owner, the enigmatic bestselling author, Helmut Mandragorass. A battle between her fiance and Helmut ensues, for ownership of the island and ultimately for the love of Chlamydia. This mercilessly subversive tale is illustrated by Chlamydia's watercolours entitled Visions of Morass, images inspired by the island as she struggles with her feelings of agony and ecstasy. Already available as a paperback, this volume can now be had in a signed and numbered slipcased edition of 250 or in a highly collectable signed and numbered boxed edition of 100 that includes a hand-colored etching by Chapman.
