Sturtevant: Image Over Image

Edited by Fredrik Liew. Text by Daniel Birnbaum, Bruce Hainley, Fredrik Liew, Paul McCarthy, Stéphanie Moisdon, Beatrix Ruf, Elaine Sturtevant.
Published by JRP|Ringier

This new catalogue on legendary appropriation artist Elaine Sturtevant (born 1930) features 30 works, ranging from her repetitions of works by artists such as Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns and Felix González-Torres, to four of her most recent large video installations.

Elaine Sturtevant: The Razzle Dazzle of Thinking

Edited by Anne Dressen. Text by Bruce Hainley, Fabrice Hergott.
Published by JRP|Ringier

Since the mid-1960s, American conceptualist Elaine Sturtevant (born 1930) has been using her multidisciplinary practice to mercilessly interrogate the commercial and symbolic value of art and the male-driven art world. Working predominantly from memory, she copies iconic works by male artists such as Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys and Frank Stella. Often indistinguishable from the originals, Sturtevant's painting, sculpture, video and photographic facsimiles force thorny issues of replica and simulacra, origin and difference, to a crisis point. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, The Razzle Dazzle of Thinking offers a compilation of Sturtevant's largely unpublished writings, along with a selection of essays on her life and work. Sturtevant and her rigorous, committed conceptual strategy are central to ongoing debates on the concept of originality in contemporary art and beyond.

Elaine Sturtevant: Author of the Quixote

Edited by Udo Kittelmann.
Published by Walther König

Venerable American Conceptualist Elaine Sturtevant has built a 40-year career with her copies of other artists' work. Fittingly, this clothbound artist's book with marbled paper draws upon Jorge Luis Borges' Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote, an account--which indistinguishably blurs fact and fiction--of a translator who "re-creates" Cervantes' classic novel.

Sturtevant: Push And Shove

Artwork by Elaine Sturtevant.
Published by Charta/Perry Rubinstein Gallery

An art-world legend records that somebody once asked Andy Warhol about his process, to which he replied, “I don't know. Ask Elaine.” True or not, one thing is sure--Elaine Sturtevant likes to fake it. Working alongside her contemporaries since the mid-1960s, the artist is best known today for her reproductions of then-radical works by Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Claus Oldenburg, Jasper Johns, Joseph Beuys, and others. Mainly absent from the art scene in the 1970s, Sturtevant reemerged in the 1980s, and has adhered to her rigorous conceptual strategy ever since, even re-creating Paul McCarthy's fabulously grotesque video performance, “The Painter” in 2002. Exploring notions of originality, replication and simulacra, Sturtevant's work has been a meditation on as much as a provocation of such concepts, and has continued to garner attention in her 40 years of practice in the fields of art history and philosophy. Included here are images of her re-installation of Marcel Duchamp's 1,200 coal bags at New York's Perry Rubinstein Gallery and stills from her 1967 film, Nude Descending a Staircase. Also represented is the artist's seven-channel video installation from 2003, The Dark Threat of Absence/Fragmented and Sliced.

Sturtevant

Volume 1: The Brutal Truth Volume 2: Catalogue Raisonné

Edited by Udo Kittelmann, Mario Kramer and Lena Maculan. Essay by Bernard BlistÀne. Interviews with Gerd de Vries and John Waters.
Published by Hatje Cantz Publishers

Since the mid-1960s, Ohio-born artist Elaine Sturtevant has been concerned with one the of the most important themes in Western art--originality. Now living and working in Paris, she reproduces existing paintings by artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Frank Stella--to name just a few. Often indistinguishable from the originals, these works call attention to the crucial issues of origin and difference. Designed and produced in close collaboration with the artist, this opulently illustrated, two-volume publication is both a catalogue of her extensive oeuvre and an artist's book. Supplemented by probing essays and interviews, it offers an unprecedented overview of the unique and unparalleled work of this American artist.

Sturtevant: Shifting Mental Structures

Edited by Alexander Tolnay. Essays by Bernard BlistÀne and Bruce Hainley.
Published by Hatje Cantz Publishers

Since her first New York exhibition in 1965, when she showed copies of Warhol's flowers, John's flags, Oldenburg's soft sculptures, and a Rosenquist drawing, Elaine Sturtevant has made a sophisticated play of originality, authorship, and signature. Conceived by the artist herself, Shifting Mental Structures includes recent works.
