Sam Taylor-Wood
Peter Doroshenko , and Harland Miller Manufacturer: Steidl/BALTIC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Leather Bound Similar Items:
ASIN: 3865213235 Release Date: 2006-08-15 |
Book Description
As one of the leading artists of her generation, Sam Taylor-Wood is acclaimed for her compelling psychological portraits in photography, film and video. Over the last several years they've included a series of still photographs of male celebrities crying, and a short video observing the English footballer David Beckham as he sleeps. Each piece creates a slightly enigmatic situation replete with latent energy. Taylor-Wood is compulsively examining the contemporary psyche and the place of the individual within the social group, and in order to do so, she is displaying the vulnerability and fragility of the human body and self. Sam Taylor-Wood presents the artist's most iconic pieces alongside previously unpublished images from her own archives, including personal, reportage and documentary work. She asked musicians and writers who have inspired her to contribute text, and Nick Cave, Peter Doroshenko, James Fox, Harland Miller, Rufus Wainwright and Ossian Ward complied. Their writing appears alongside an in-depth interview with the artist by Annushka Shani.

Sam Taylor-Wood: Crying Men
Manufacturer: Steidl/Matthew Marks Gallery ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3865210392 Release Date: 2004-11-02 |
Book Description
Description: Crying Men is a series of photographic portraits of famous film actors: Tim Roth, Gabriel Byrne, Laurence Fishburne, Woody Harrelson, Michael Gambon, Jude Law, Hayden Christiansen, Ryan Gosling, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Newman, Ed Harris, Benicio Del Toro, Willem Dafoe, Kris Kristofferson, and others. Sam Taylor-Wood makes portraits of her subjects as actors; she shoots them in character, asking each to perform and cry for the camera, and demanding their investment in the process. These are no passive sitters. Each of the resulting images is distinct; one actor recalls the hieratic clarity of a Byzantine saint whose tears appear decorative. Other images are of heroic crying, where stoic restraint has broken down. Some display the voluptuous crying of medieval saints, others cathartic crying or quiet tears of regret and grief. Yet while being moved by these intimate revelatory images, we simultaneously know that the emotional display is being play-acted. Sam Taylor-Wood's film and photographic works are distinguished by their subversive creation of enigmatic situations full of latent but explosive energy.

Neal Brown , David Bussel , Paul Fryer , Angela Bulloch , Tracey Emin , Douglas Gordon , Mona Hatoum , Sarah Lucas , Rachel Whiteread , and Abigail Lane Manufacturer: Ingvild Goetz ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3980526739 Release Date: 2001-01-02 |
Book Description
Featuring interviews with and artwork by such hot young British artists as Mona Hatoum, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rachel Whiteread, Willie Doherty, Tracey Emin, Douglas Gordon, Abigail Lane, Angela Bulloch, and Sarah Lucas, Art from the UK documents an exhibition at the Goetz Collection in Munich. The Goetz Collection is one of the most important collections devoted solely to contemporary art, and is housed in its own small private museum, designed by renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The works presented here exemplify the Goetz Collection's dedication to art that is innovative and challenging--from Mona Hatoum's surprising and complex mixture of media, to Rachel Whiteread's inverted spaces, to Sam Taylor-Wood's explorations of the erotic entanglements of people in closed spaces. In addition, the interviews presented in Art from the UK offer a tremendous insight into the changing creative processes and aesthetic philosophies of the new wave of contemporary artists.Customer Reviews:

Just Love Me
Diana Ebster , Thomas Meinecke , Birgit Sonna , Katharina Sykora , Gillian Wearing , Tracey Emin , Matthew Barney , Mike Kelley , Sarah Lucas , Pipilotti Rist , Sue Williams , Andrea Zittel , and Tracey Moffatt Manufacturer: Walther Konig ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 3883757543 Release Date: 2003-11-02 |
Book Description
Description: Just Love Me--with its title taken directly from a late 90s neon sign by Tracey Emin--reveals how complex and differentiated female identity constructions have become today. Classically assigned roles have broken down. Radical feminist positions of the 70s and 80s no longer make sense. But if much has changed since the late 60s, when feminist artists began to make their most prominent moves, many social and structural problems remain. The strategies and perspectives of women artists today--and, presumably, of women today--are here considered through a selection of works by an important group of contemporary (mostly) women artists: Matthew Barney, Rineke Dijkstra, Tracey Emin, Mona Hatoum, Jonathan Horowitz, Sarah Jones, Mike Kelley, Karen Kilimnik, Sarah Lucas, Tracey Moffat, Cady Noland, Catherine Opie, Pipilotti Rist, Daniela Rossell, Cindy Sherman, Ann-Sofi Sidan, Sam Taylor-Wood, Gillian Wearing, Sue Williams, and Andrea Zittel.

Moving Pictures: Photography and Film in Contemporary Art
Tacita Dean , Rudolf Scheutle , Christopher Williams , Doug Aitken , Matthew Barney , Douglas Gordon , Roni Horn , Sharon Lockhart , and Mariko Mori Manufacturer: Hatje Cantz Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3775710507 Release Date: 2001-09-02 |
Book Description
In recent decades, the border areas between photography and film have emerged as an important field of contemporary photographic art. Well-known practitioners include the American artist Cindy Sherman with her "Film Stills," a series of black-and-white self-portraits evoking film stills from the 1940s and 1950s both in form and content, and the Australian Sam Taylor-Wood, whose photographic panoramas-sometimes more than 30 feet long-forge interpersonal dramas from individual pictures, not unlike unrolled scrolls of film. With works by 40 international artists, this book is the first dedicated to a growing artistic fascination. Based on the observation that at the beginning of the 21st century the history of the moving picture is at an end and yielding fast to the reality of accelerated information, the book bridges the gap between the "classical" position of photography and contemporary work using the Internet and other technologies.

Inu-Yasha : A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 4
Manufacturer: VIZ Media LLC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Comic Similar Items:
ASIN: 1569313687 |
Book Description
In Rumiko Takahashi's latest volume of this epic adventure, Inu-Yasha and Kagome - protectors of the powerful "jewel of four souls" - are challenged by army-fighting demons and the ghost of an unforgiving girl.Customer Reviews:
ONE OF THE MOST COOL BOOKS!!.......2002-10-14
Pacifing the angry soul of Mayu gives you a chance to see Kagome's really strength and determination. Guess Inu-Yasha does need her, huh? (And not just as a shard detector) Though you don't see him nearly as much in this little story of the book, he's still a big focus.
This one deserves 5 stars; you can call me bias, don't care.
(By the way, will somebody ever slap Hojo with a stick of knowledge? Because if someone says they slapped him with a stupid stick, I'd disagree. I'd still disagree if they said he was beaten with it. I'd say he had a severe fall down the whole dang tree!!!)
CYAS!
yet another enjoyable addition to the series.......2002-06-28

Blood 'N Guts 'N Sushi! by A 13 year-old in San Diego.......2002-04-17
This was a pretty good book. Its Manga, Main-Gah, a Japanese comic-book, er, "Graphic Novel." This is by the same guy, I meen Girl, as the one who did Ranma 1/2. Her name is Rumiko takahashi... Or some thing like that. She is a really great artist, and does the best art in any manga ever! Now for the plot:
A girl named Kagomi- Kah go mee, I think,- is in present day Japan, but falls down her familie's anchient-Sacred well, trying to get her little brothers cat out. She wakes up in Feudal Japan with a demon centapede after her!
There she meets a strange half dog-Demon boy named Inu-yasha, who beleives her to be the incarnation of Kragomi,a Preistess of the Shikon Jewel, The women he once loved, the woman who killed him once...Or did she? He is on a quest to find the Shikon, for in will make him a full demon. Unfortunatly Kagomi breakes the Jewel, scattering the peices over all Japan. Now the two, A rude young dog-demon boy, and a modern schoolgirl, must team up to recover the jewel shards.
Warning- Japanese manga is very different from U.s comics:
More Blood, less violence.
Plenty of rok'im sok'm fights.
Better artwork, better plot, less dialoge.
Due to Public baths, they have nothing against bare umm...you know. This is kinda embarasing for me, but, I'd advise moms against letting any one under 12 read this, maby 15 for boys. It's not really nasty, just embarrasing. And there is barely any of it in there.
