Features and Themes of the Spring 2010 D.A.P. Catalog

By Thomas Evans

For each season of the D.A.P. catalog, new themes and trends coalesce across the 600-odd titles announced therein, indicating emergent preoccupations and new areas of research in the arts. The Spring 2010 catalogue opens with an exciting and extremely significant culmination to that strain, in the form of The Museum of Modern Art's forthcoming appraisal of the female artists in its collection, Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum of Modern Art.

Sound Art Bookshelf

The term “sound art” arose in the U.S. in the 1980s, to describe the work of a number of artists who had made purely sound-based art alongside other kinds of practices, and has since occupied an ambiguous interzone between the “cultures” of art and music.

FEATURED ARTIST   |   HANS HOFMANN
HansHofmann
"I want to experience the manifestation of the absolute – the manifestation of the unexpected in an extreme and unique relation. I know that only by following my reactive instincts – in an act of creative destruction – will I be able to find it. As a painter, I deny any rule, any method and any theory. I trust and follow only the inner eye in the faculty of empathy." One of the most important figures of the Abstract Expressionist movement, Hans Hofmann was also an influential teacher for generations of artists--both in his native Germany and in the United States. A new collection of works made Circa 1950 is now available from The Rose Art Museum.
