Review Neil Leifer, Golden Age of American Football: Art Edition a (Unitas) / Taschen:"Neil Leifer, Guts and Glory: The Golden Age of American Football, 1958-1978" presents the most memorable moments since the birth of pro football. It includes the best of sports photographer Neil Leifer's 10,000 rolls of football pictures, including hundreds of previously unpublished images. Presented in a custom slipcase and limited to 100 numbered copies signed by the artist, this Art Edition comes with one of two chromogenic prints. Books 1-100 are accompanied by the chromogenic print "Johnny Unitas," 1964. In 1958, sports photographer Neil Leifer took the picture that remains one of his most famous to this day. The day he got the shot - Alari Ameche's game-winning "Sudden Death" touchdown - was Leifer's 16th birthday. This game, called "The Greatest Ever Played," signaled football's emergence as America's new national pastime; formerly half-empty stadiums welcomed sold-out crowds seemingly overnight while football surpassed pro baseball and college football in national television ratings. Starting then, on any given Sunday Leifer was most likely shooting a football game somewhere in America. His 1961 photo of legendary Giants quarterback Y. A. [+]Tittle dropping back to pass landed Leifer his first cover for "Sports Illustrated" and cemented his close connection to the sport. While best known for his iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali towering over a fallen Sonny Liston, and for the enormous diversity of subjects he covered in and out of the sports world, it is his football pictures Leifer considers his best. This collection represents the best of his best, culled from over 10,000 rolls of film on the sport, including hundreds of previously unpublished pictures. It's impossible to conceive of Peyton Manning hovering over an impromptu wood fire on the sidelines during a blizzard, but Leifer captured Tittle's Giants doing exactly that during the coldest game in his living memory (the 1962 Championship in New York, a game "far colder than the famous Ice Bowl"). From Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers dynasty to the Miami Dolphins' perfect season in 1972 to the Minnesota Vikings' terrifying Front Four - the "Purple People Eaters" - they're all here; and so is Bobby Layne, a holdout from the pre-face mask "leatherhead" days. Following an introduction assembled from the best football columns of the era by famed sports columnist Jim Murray, this collection is divided into four chapters: "On Any Sunday" is Leifer's homage to the game. "The Legends" includes heroes like Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Namath, Dick Butkus, Frank Gifford, and Mean Joe Greene. "The Coaches" delves into the victories on and off the field of immortal coaches Vince Lombardi, John Madden, Tom Landry, Weeb Ewbank, and others. Finally, "The Big Game" traces the major championship games from 1958 through Superbowl XII. The in-depth captions put the images into their historical context, making the book highly accessible and informative.

Review Klee (Portfolio (Taschen)) / Taschen:This study explores diversity as the mainspring of Klee's creative practice. Drawing on Klee's own classifications for his work, along with those of distinguished Klee scholars, the book traces the development of the artist's rich visual language not as a single line of enquiry, but as a series of movements, counter-movements and interconnections. By the time of his death in 1940, Klee was an acknowledged modern master, his fame and influence both as an artist and a teacher recognized throughout the western world. However, his work lost prominence for many years from the early 1960s, only re-emerging into view in much later years. Featuring an essay by Robert Kudielka, Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art at the Universitat der Kunste, Berlin, along with a personal response to Klee's work by renowned British artist Bridget Riley, this book brings to the fore the seminal role Klee had in the development of 20th-century art and signals the ongoing relevance of his work.

Review Michael Triegel: The world in the mirror / Wienand Verlag:In his work, Michael Triegel engages in a dialogue with the painting of previous epochs, particularly with works of the Italian Renaissance, Mannerism and Caravaggesque painting. Using these models as a point of departure, he has developed his own idiosyncratic pictorial language. The monograph provides the first profound survey of the extraordinary work of this young artist and "shows him excelling at all genres-still life, landscape, the nude, portraits" (Chicago Tribune).

Review Improvisation, Hypermedia and the Arts Since 1945 (Performing Arts Studies) / Routledge:In presenting their comprehensive definition of improvisation, the authors consider developments in improvisation in the arts since 1945 by particularly emphasizing process and technique and by featuring artists in all media, from Grotowski and Laurie Anderson to Goldsworthy. Their approach is analytical and theoretical, but it is also relevant to practitioners and their audience. For Smith and Dean, improvisation has been of great importance and value in the contemporary arts because of its potential to develop new forms, often by breaking existing definitions: they see hypermedia and interactive technologies as playing a key role in dissolving the audience/creator separation which exists especially in Western society, though often less in other cultures.
