Power Up: Female Pop Art $45 Despite the frequent mockery by Pop artists of the Abstract Expressionists’ machismo and swagger, the best–known artists of the Pop era (as art history has defined it) were men. Power Up explores a generation of female artists working in the Pop art milieu, whose concerns offered a more overt critique of consumerism and gender issues than did those of their male counterparts. The works of Evelyne Axell, Christa Dichgans, Rosalyn Drexler, Jann Haworth, Dorothy Iannone, Sister Corita Kent, Kiki Kogelnik, Marisol, and Niki de Saint Phalle share with their male contemporaries a brashness of color, cartoonish figuration, and consumerist imagery, but set aside the Duchampian strategies of irony found in Johns or Warhol, in favor of a more animated, life–embracing , combative zest, political critique, and direct expressions of sexuality and lust. Before feminism had coalesced into a coherent movement, these women dismantled consumerist exploitation of female imagery, critiqued capitalism, and celebrated their desires, working among (if not alongside) their male contemporaries, across media, and continents. Today, their art seems more prescient and adventurous than ever. This volume casts fresh light on the artists of this generation, some of whom attained fame individually, while others were less well served by art history. Throwing down the gauntlet to the historians, Power Up tracks this neglected chapter of Pop art in a blaze of color and defiant sensuality. Author — Edited by Angela Stief. Flexi–cover. 288 pages. 7½" × 10½" (19 cm × 27 cm) . |

The 3D Art Book $35 This book presents work by a group of the world’s most esteemed young contemporary artists and designers in a medium they’ve previously not explored — retro 3D. Since he was a kid, artist, designer, and vinyl toy impresario, Tristan Eaton has been obsessed with the nostalgic look of 3D imagery. In The 3D Art Book , he parlays this fascination into a carefully curated selection of more than 100 works by established and up-and-coming contemporary artists, expertly rendered as 3D images that can be viewed with red and blue glasses (included in the book). Many of the pieces, by artists respected within the designer toy, street art, Pop Surrealist, graffiti, graphic design, and street wear communities, were created specifically for this project. The included works range from other-worldly paintings by Eric White, Ron English, and James Jean; to graffiti pieces by Dr. Revolt, Claw Money, and HAZE; intricate designs by Tokidoki, 10Deep, and Mishka NYC; cartoonish characters by Jon Burgerman, Miss Van, and Gary Baseman. Pieces by heavyweights D*Face, Todd Schorr, and Shepard Fairey are also included. Each image jumps to life when viewed using 3D glasses. Eaton’s introduction documents his personal history as an appreciator and creator of 3D art, while an essay by cultural critic Carlo McCormick focuses on stereoscopic 3D’s rise to pop prominence in 1950s America. Tristan Eaton is founder and creative director of Thunderdog Studios, a Brooklyn-based creative agency and vinyl toy brand. The designer of the now-iconic Dunny and Munny toy forms for Kidrobot, he is also a leading figure in the world of advertising and commercial art. His works can be seen at the Cooper Hewitt Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Carlo McCormick is a New York-based popular culture critic, curator, and senior editor at Paper magazine. Author — Tristan Eaton. Forward written by Carlo McCormick. Paperback. 224 pages with 100 3D illustrations. 11" × 9¼" (28 cm × 23 cm). |
