Yves Klein By Himself

Edited by Klaus Ottmann

"When Yves Klein arrived in New York to show his blue monochromes at Leo Castelli’s gallery in 1961, the New York art world objected not so much to his work than to his style. For years to come, American reviewers continued to focus on Klein’s appearance, dismissing him as an 'entertainer and idea man.' American Pop art, as Roland Barthes observed so keenly, was anti-style; it was about neutralizing identity:
'Pop art is well aware that the fundamental expression of the person is style. As Buffon said (a celebrated remark, once known to every French schoolboy): 'Style is the man.' Take away style and there is no longer any (individual) man. The notion of style, in all the arts, has therefore been linked, historically, to a humanism of the person... There is, as I see it, a certain relation between pop art and what is called 'script,' that anonymous writing style sometimes taught to dysgraphic children because it is inspired by the neutral and, so to speak, elementary features of typography. Further, we must realize that if pop art depersonalizes, it does not make anonymous: nothing is more identifiable than Marilyn...; they are in fact nothing but that: ...teaching us that identity is not the person: the future world risks being a world of identities... but not of persons.'"

WORDS ON PICTURES

Stanley Greene: Black Passport

"Probably every man fantasizes about being a hero. But what is a real hero? What makes one? In my long association with the World Press Photo contest, I have noticed that during the awards ceremony, war photographers always look different. Heroic, even. The arts, nature, and sports photographers were invariably smartly dressed when they went to collect their prizes. But war photographers are something else, done up in some sort of half-soldier costume. Just who are these guys, I wondered. This book became a way of finding out…I was intrigued by how Stanley presented himself--often larger than life--and by what made war photography so tempting to him. Just what was the character of a war photographer?...He is a defender of people who have no voice, a warrior against injustice…Stanley believes that a soldier is a sort of a slave, not an individual, always subservient to the group. A war photographer is in a way part of this group, but is always independent."

Teun van der Heijden, excerpted from his text to Black Passport.

FEATURED IMAGE | LEE LOZANO

artbook.com

In her 1999 obituary for the influential American artist Lee Lozano, Roberta Smith of The New York Times called Lozano, "an eccentric artist who pursued Conceptual Art and painting in the 1960s and then left the New York art world for self-imposed exile that included an embargo on contact with other women… Ms. Lozano was a quixotic, confounding rebel whose decade-long New York career seemed always to involve pushing one limit or another." Featured image is reproduced from Hatje Cantz's monograph, published on the occasion of Lozano's posthumous retrospective Stockholm's Moderna Museet.

FEATURED ARTIST

Nalini Malani

"Malani's work is not about trauma and its effects per se. Rather it seeks a visual language capable of encompassing eruptions of the irrational and the repressed, and the ways they made the world and processes of history…"
