Review Jim Dine: Entrada Drive-Special Edition / Steidl:Of this exquisite limited-edition book of his photographs, artist Jim Dine says, "The winter in L. A. that year was kind of a 'grey July. ' Diana and I lived at 234 Entrada Drive in January and February of 2001. These photographs are a memoir of what our eyes saw in our garden and when we walked to the Pacific Ocean. We also climbed into the Santa Monica Mountains on our bicycles, crossing Sunset Boulevard just where it goes into Pacific Palisades. We did this every day, winding our way through more L. A. suburbia till we reached the fire trail into the mountains (where wilder animals than us live). We hardly ever saw a neighbor to make up stories about. [+]Our landlady was called Denise de Graf. She was ever-vigilant about our comings and goings. I also think we lived just to the north of the late Christopher Isherwood's house but maybe I dreamt that. That winter all we thought about was our work and getting back to Paris. " This first edition comes with a stone lithograph in a handmade slipcase. All 100 copies are signed and numbered by the artist.

Review Lucio Fontana: Catalogue Raisonné / Skira:This authoritative catalogué raisonné covers over four decades of creative output that comprise Fontana's career. His intuitive rendering of the intrinsic dynamism of contemporary life into images is represented across the early sculptures to the most recent "ambienti": works designed to be neither painting nor sculpture but "forms, color, sound through spaces". In the 1930s Fontana was a leading exponent of a generation of Expressionists. In the 40's and 50's, he was the protagonist of "informal" Spatialism. In the 60's, Fontana became a point of reference for new pictorial and plastic expression. This historical and critical profile brings a huge body of intense, expressive work into focus. This catalog was carried out in collaboration with the Lucio Fontana Foundation, making it the definitive publication on the artist.

Review Attracted to Light / powerHouse Books:Perhaps Nabokov prefigured Attracted to Light in his fictional four-volume set called, "The Butterflies and Moths of the Russian Empire" in "Father's Butterflies": "The illustrations are still more perfect texture, the blurry translucence of various families of moths are rendered so delicately you would be afraid to run your finger across the paper. " A sumptuously oversized and exquisitely produced book, Attracted to Light showcases the Starns' extensive conceptual portrait series of the nocturnal moths' mysterious journey and the seeming gravitational force that light has over them, "captured" in photographs and filmic video footage. "Light necessitates darkness, the shadow created by anything physical. But black is not only the lack of light. The void and reservoir of what we want, what we need; light is power, it is knowledge. When we look into the deep, velvety black eyes of moths we see both emptiness and (the absorption of) light. No one understands why moths are attracted to light. [+]It's neither to mate nor to eat: many moths don't eat at all; some don't even have mouths. Like butterflies, moths are almost as light as air, but they're the poor stupid cousins. Choosing to live their lives at night, flying from nowhere towards the end of their lives orbit a lamp, fly into a flame, or self-immolate like a Buddhist monk. ".

Review Richard Prince: Paintings-Photographs / Hatje Cantz Publishers:Silk Cut smokes, high-end pens and watches, jewelry dangling into cleavage, the Marlboro Man, the very young Brooke Shields in that movie still, bare-chested blondes on bikes-this is the stuff of Richard Prince's photographs. Sexist jokes, Playboy magazine cartoons, and grafittied doodles are the stuff of his paintings. Or rather, all of these icons of mass culture are the materials that Prince recycles and processes in order to make his own artworks. Re-photographed, fragmented, layered, and copied down, their original format irreversibly if subtly altered, they are transformed into works of high art. By appropriating a reality artificially staged by the media, Prince assesses and catalogues everyday life in America through the cool gaze of an archivist. At the same time, he returns a piece of life to these much abused types: the Marlboro Man rides across the prairie free of consumerist underpinnings. Conceived of and designed by the artist himself, this large-format, two volume publication is the most ambitious presentation of Prince's work to date. One book is devoted to paintings, the other to photographs, and an accompanying booklet offers a radical essay by Bruce Hainley as well as a complete biography and selected bibliography.
