| | |  FEATURED IMAGEThis Sunday, January 29th, please join ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 for the launch of Cabinet's newest special edition, The Last Calendar. This oversized, beautifully produced 2012 wall calendar ignores the familiar holidays in favor of more than 60 significant dates in the history of apocalyptic prophecy. The edition also features stunning artwork by Swedish duo Bigert & Bergström, who illustrate 12 methods of divination—including divination through the observation of oil (Eleomancy), or through that of tea leaves (Tasseography). A reading of these prophesies will commence at 2 PM at MoMA PS1 during the Winter Open House, at a location to be disclosed on the day, using tract-style pamphlets to be handed out to visitors. The Last Calendar will be available for purchase for the Armageddon-like price of $12, tax included.
Featured image, by Bigert & Bergstrom and reproduced from The Last Calendar, is "Eleomancy: Divination through the observation of oil."

| FROM THE SHELVES | Staff Selections | FROM THE SHELVES | BestsellersBestselling Books on Art, Photography, Architecture & Design | FEATURED LIBRARY Pop marks the end of art’s false elevation from entertainment, camp and kitsch. Through the paintings of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein and others, such everyday fodder as comic strips and beer cans offered a subject matter that any citizen of a late capitalist culture could recognize, and through Pop’s embrace of consumer imagery and its ethic of ironized remove, the lofty values of Abstract Expressionism seemed to vaporize almost overnight. continue

I like to have poignant opening lines but what can I do? I don’t have time to wait around for genius, I’m a busy man. Only jerks tell you how busy they are, so I’m a jerk. Oh, and by the way, my painting is about me. I don’t want you to think there’s anything here but self-obsessive banality. This is all I’m capable of, I freely admit it."
