John Richardson Livres

Cet ouvrage est intitulé Nicolas de Staël, un automne, un hiver car il présente le dernier ensemble de peintures et d'œuvres sur papier réalisé à Antibes par l'artiste entre octobre 1954 et le 16 mars 1955, date de son suicide. Il a accompagné une exposition organisée dans le musée d'Antibes en 2005 mais a été conçu comme un ouvrage à part entière. Il met en lumière ces quelques mois en documentant le plus possible le séjour de l'artiste à Antibes. Des essais de Daniel Abadie qui propose de " revoir " De Staël aujourd'hui, de Federico Nicolao qui soumet une réévaluation du rapport abstraction/figuration de l'œuvre ultime de l'artiste, la correspondance de Nicolas de Staël, un texte de Valentine Marcadé sur l'œuvre de Nicolas de Staël, inédit en français, et commenté par Jean-Claude Marcadé, un texte de John Richardson inédit en français, quelques pages souvenirs d'Anne de Staël cernent de plus près l'ultime explosion de couleurs que connaît l'art de Nicolas de Staël à la veille de sa mort, en dépit de sa difficulté à se réaliser dans sa peinture. 147 tableaux et de nombreuses œuvres sur papier ont vu ainsi le jour en moins de cinq mois, à Antibes, à deux pas du musée qui lui a consacré cet hommage. La correspondance de Nicolas de Staël à partir de l'été 1954, une biographie et une bibliographie sélective complètent l'ouvrage.

A renowned gallerist and collector, the late Ileana Sonnabend acquired an impressive collection of seminal work directly from the Warhol studio at the time of its making. Sonnabend was an early and fervent supporter of Warhol, and held three important exhibitions of his work at her Paris gallery, including the series Death and Disasters (1964), Flowers (1965), and Thirteen Most Wanted Men (1967). This beautifully illustrated book includes essays by Picasso biographer John Richardson and leading Warhol scholar Brenda Richardson, who was a close friend of Sonnabend’s. Her essay is an insightful portrait of the highly regarded dealer and her relationship with Warhol. The book is illuminated by previously unpublished private letters and includes stand-alone facsimile reproductions of the exhibition catalogues, originally published by Galerie Ileana Sonnabend.
