Cecile Debray: Cahiers d'Art at 100, Gebunden

Klappentext

"'Cahiers d'Art has fostered innovation within the European avant-garde for a century; this retrospective work celebrates its vision and contributions to the world of art.

Founded in Paris in 1926 as a publishing house, gallery, and art journal, Cahiers d'Art quickly established itself as a vital platform for the most influential artists, poets, and critical thinkers of the twentieth century. From the earliest issues of La Revue , the editors championed trailblazing artists such as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Wassily Kandinsky Over time, it expanded to feature Marcel Duchamp, Kazimir Malevich, and members of the Surrealist movement-including Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, and Meret Oppenheim-often accompanied by essays from literary and philosophical luminaries such as Samuel Beckett, Georges Bataille, and Jacques Lacan. Experimental photographers like Dora Maar and Man Ray contributed powerful images,
reinforcing the journal's reputation as a groundbreaking visual and intellectual forum.

Since its relaunch in 2012, Cahiers d'Art has revitalized its seminal journal and gallery exhibitions, bridging historical figures like Alexander Calder with contemporary voices such as Arthur Jafa, Gabriel Orozco, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Rosemarie Trockel. This centenary volume celebrates the significance of modernism and the crucial role Cahiers d'Art played in the dissemination of modern art. With essays by Rem Koolhaas and Effie Rentzou, along with an interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist of Cahiers d'Art publisher Staffan Ahrenberg, curator Daniel Birnbaum, and LUMA founder and president Maja Hoffman, this retrospective tome demonstrates Cahiers d'Art's ongoing commitment to serve as a visual, intellectual, and cultural forum for artists and academics."
