FEATURED IMAGE

Lucian Freud

Featured image, Lucian Freud's 1944 ink drawing, "Dead Monkey," is reproduced from Blain|Southern and Aquavella Galleries' exquisite new monograph, Lucian Freud Drawings, which accompanies the exhibition currently on view at Aquavella in New York.
In her May 10 review in The New York Times, Karen Rosenberg writes, "According to many critics, Lucian Freud started making great paintings only after he let go of drawing: abandoning flat, crisply outlined figures for massively fleshy nudes nourished by a full brush. The quietly ravishing Lucian Freud Drawings at Acquavella Galleries, gives Freud’s works on paper a chance to speak for themselves, beginning with his childhood sketches and ending with the last etching plate he touched.
What they tell us is that Freud (1922-2011) kept on drawing, and that, to the last, energy still flowed between his paintings and his works on paper."

William Stout Architectural Books

FEATURED STORE

William Stout Architectural Books

William Stout Architectural Books carries over 20,000 titles on two floors in the fields of architecture, art, urban planning, graphic and industrial design, furniture and interior design and landscape architecture. For over 30 years--20 in the current location--it has been a vital resource for architecture and design books, carrying American and international titles, both in and out of print.
The origins of the bookstore date back to when Bill Stout was a practicing architect and would go to Europe and bring back hard to find European architectural books. His colleagues and friends would ask him to bring them back additional copies and thus the shop was born. About 10 years ago, he started William Stout Publishers, which puts out a few books a year, mainly on architecture and landscape in the Bay Area, but also including books on architectural theory and reprints of important, out of print titles.

A Bauhaus Library

The Bauhaus school of art and design, which operated from 1919 to 1933, gathered a staggering array of talent--some of the twentieth century’s foremost artists, architects and designers--and offered a laboratory in which to completely overhaul the look and feel of modern life, from textiles to typography, from painting to photography, from epic architectural projects right down to the design of a door handle.

"As a curator, I am often asked about the future of art. And because compiling thoughts about the future is to take a snapshot of the contemporary moment, my answer is always that we have to listen to artists."
–Hans Ulrich Obrist, excerpted from the forthcoming volume, The Future Will Be… China Edition: Thoughts on What’s to Come.
