The recent work of Belgian abstract artist Yves Zurstrassen is explored in depth in this handsome volume, designed in close collaboration with the artist himselfThe decade of work produced between 2010 and 2019 by Belgian abstract painter Yves Zurstrassen (b. 1956) is the focus of this beautifully designed and illustrated book. Although he originally studied graphic art, Zurstrassen was inspired by Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning to pursue painting. The book’s essays delve into the artist’s process and offer a critical analysis of the work. Also included are a detailed biography and insightful, informal conversations with the artist. Featuring full-page illustrations of Zurstrassen’s recent work, the book situates the artist both within abstract art and the broader context of contemporary painting.Distributed for MercatorfondsExhibition Schedule:Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels(September 1–December 31, 2019)

This book, published ahead of an exhibition, is devoted to the birth of new conceptions, of a new approach to the evolution of abstraction in painting. Since the late 1970s, abstraction has no longer consisted of the repetition of gestures viewed as “avant-garde” or embodying the history of the “newness” of the present age. With its new proposals, abstraction has, since the discovery of the Chauvet cave and its primitive murals in 1994, become an element enriching our pictorial heritage. Abstract painting re-reads, re-examines, composes and decomposes, transforms and reinvents using the figures on which its art is founded. The book comprises 8 chapters, featuring text by curators, writers, and art historians. + interviews, documents, and archives from 1975 to 2022. The artists presented include, among others: Günther Förg, Lawrence Carrol, Etel Adnan, Shirley Jaffe, Julie Mehretu, Philip Taaffe, Beatriz Milhazes, Eugène Leroy, Katherina Grosse, Liu Shangying, Jonathan Jasker, Lee Bae, Pierrette Bloch, Bernard Piffaretti, Marthe Wéry, Yves Zurstrassen and David Tremlett.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude are renowned above all for their ephemeral yet monumental interventions in landscapes and cities. Fabric is a defining feature of their projects; they use it to wrap, conceal and otherwise manipulate our visual perception of the world. They have created numerous oil barrel sculptures and installations since the beginning of their careers, though these are less well known. This book is dedicated to these barrel creations, a niche portion of two great artists' ouevre.In the late 1950s, Christo started to wrap used oil drums which he had found on scrapyards or bought cheaply at recycling sites. Later, he began piling the untreated oil drums to form ever larger structures. The largest project of this kind to date is a giant sculpture made up of 410,000 oil barrels in the desert of the United Arab Emirates. The project has been developing since 1977; ever since the death of Jeanne-Claude in 2009, Christo has continued it on his own.This book, published to accompany a large exhibition at Fondation Maeght in the south of France, shows many photos as well as images of drawings and collages, some of which have never been published before. They offer a comprehensive insight into Christo and Jeanne-Claude's oil barrel projects. Significantly, it contains a detailed documentation of a sculpture specially created by Christo for the famous Giacometti courtyard at Fondation Maeght. Exhibition: 4 June - 27 November 2016, Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France.
