When the artist village in Beijing where he worked as a sculp-tor's assistant was demolished, he decided to protest. He camouflaged himself in the ruins with acrylic paints and photographed the finished product, marking the first of his Hiding in the City series. Since then, he has "disap-peared" in many different places around the world--from politically fraught areas in China to grocery stores, toy stores, and more. His work protests specific political acts of the Chinese government and offers commentary on consumer culture. This comprehensive book showcases Bolin's most striking photographs and sculptures and explores the techniques he uses to create his unforgettable art. Bolin has also helped other people disappear, including the members of Bon Jovi for the band's recent album cover, as well as the fashion designers Jean Paul Gaultier, Missoni, Valentino, and more, and a selection of these photographs is featured throughout the book.

Hardcover. NY, Abrams, 1st, 1978, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 263 pages. Louis Michel Eilshemius was a born poet-visionary. His paintings reveal a gift for lyrical expression, an ability to impart an unearthly, dreamlike quality to canvas, and an extraordinary originality. The abundant illustrations in this first comprehensive volume on the artist attest to the importance of his contribution to American art at the turn of the century. In his sensitive text, Paul J. Karlstrom illuminates the contradictions that provide the key to understanding Eilshemius's life and art. Thoroughly trained in the academic manner, Eilshemius later became known primarily as the painter of bizarre, 'primitive' nudes. His early paintings, landscapes influenced by the Barbizon school and Camille Corot, differ dramatically from his late works, which are naive and often disturbing fantasies. At his best, Eilshemius was a magician of the canvas, yet his unstable character and unrealistic ambitions prevented him from fully realizing his talent.

Hardcover. NY, Rizzoli, 1st, 2009, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 264 pages. Lucian Freud is widely regarded as one of the greatest living artists, and drawing is fundamental to his development as an artist and to how he sees. Speaking recently about his early years he claimed, "I would have thought I did 200 drawings to every painting in those early days. I very much prided myself on my drawing." Drawing became an important part of Freud's life from the start and a famous sketchbook, The Freud-Schuster Book, has survived dating back to January 1940, when Freud was in Snowdonia with Stephen Spender, as do sketches from Freud's life as a merchant seaman on a cargo vessel in the Atlantic in 1941. His then surreal style lent itself to illustrations and his fascination with animals, birds, and fish was revealed in the famous line drawings he produced for Nicholas Moore's book of poems, The Glass Tower (1944). This volume charts Freud's work on paper, including the etchings, over his entire career. It includes the formative early work, the sketches in preparation for painting his masterpiece, Large Interior W11 (after Watteau) (1983), the sketches of the completed painting in the studio and the astonishing later studies of his mother. The book ends with the etchings of recent years.

There are hardly any artists who are as fascinating in terms of their work and personality as Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968). By declaring an everyday object a work of art and thereby revolutionizing art history as the inventor of the readymade, he became a forerunner for an entire generation of conceptual artists. To this day, the influence of his works and writings holds immense significance for contemporary art. In addition to the significant Duchamp collection at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the publication also addresses the unique archive of the Swiss artist and Duchamp researcher Serge Stauffer. The 100 questions, addressed by Stauffer to Duchamp in 1960 and shown here for the first time along with Duchamp's answers, provide not only essential insights into Duchamp's artistic thinking but also demonstrate Stauffer's extraordinary research work.
