David Hockney (born 1937 in Bradford) is one of the most influential and technically versatile
artists living today. This new publication gathers some of his most defining work from the 1960s
to the present, including major works in the Tate collection. From early graphic cycles, double
portraits and iconic pool paintings through to his photo collages, plein air landscapes, iPad
drawings, and multimedia installations, the volume documents central themes and genres in
Hockney's oeuvre, as well as his constant experimentation.
Original essays by renowned critics and commentators illuminate the artist's search for new forms
of expression, the topographical and biographical reference points of his work, the technical
innovation of his painting and printmaking, as well as his approach to new media.

Martin Noel - The Retrospective

DCV 2022 ISBN 9783969120637 Acqn 32130
The German painter, draftsman, and graphic artist Martin Noel (b. Berlin, 1956; d. Bonn, 2010)
played a leading role in reviving the linocut and the woodcut, two techniques that had long been
eclipsed by other media. In his large-format works on paper, he staked out a widely regarded and
distinctive position in contemporary art. Noel was especially interested in the compositional
relationship between line and surface. Released on occasion of the retrospective of his oeuvre at
the Albertina, Vienna, this book presents an overview of the most important periods in the artist's
creative evolution, with an emphasis on the woodcut carved into the printing plate and the
woodblock's subsequent emancipation as an art object in its own right. Particular attention is paid
to the application of ink to the surface and its painterly structure as well as the picture's migration
from object to canvas. The resulting paintings are exemplary of Noel's late oeuvre.

Emmanuel Bornstein – Wildwechsel

DCV 2022 ISBN 9783969120804 Acqn 32131
Pb 23x25cm 96pp col ills £21.50
Like the deer that tests our vigilance by suddenly crossing the road, Emmanuel Bornstein's (b.
Toulouse, 1986; lives and works in Berlin) art, which is rarely winsome and often disturbing,
forces us to grapple with reality. In his earlier work, the German-French artist often focused on
the Holocaust and the Second World War, creating pictures profoundly informed by his own
family's story. Exploring Berlin, the epicenter of that dark history, inspired searching meditations
in series that turned the spotlight on traces of what had happened. More recently, Bornstein has
sought to disentangle his art from subjective experience, shifting his focus to the analysis and
reconstruction of contemporary events. Wildwechsel retraces the evolution of his oeuvre as
reflected in his biography, which exemplifies the cultural exchange between Germany and
France.

Chunqing Huang - Painter's Portrait II

DCV 2022 ISBN 9783969120811 Acqn 32191
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £15.50
The artist Chunqing Huang's (b. Heze, China, 1974) Painters' Portraits are anything but
conventional likenesses. The portraits of artists including Louise Bourgeois, Anselm Kiefer, Martin
Kippenberger and Imi Knoebel are acts of gestural-expressive abstraction and probing visual
studies of the artist's own recollections. Chunqing Huang paints meditations on art itself,
systematically working through the vocabulary of abstract painting from Germany to the United
States. The series Painter's Portrait II features Chunqing Huang's thirty most recent works from a
series the artist has been transferring to canvases measuring 40 x 30 cm since 2016.
Painter's Portrait II represents Chunqing Huang's personal reflections on her influences, from
Impressionism to expressive tendencies in abstract painting, which now make its debut in book
form. On 80 color plates, the catalogue showcases the portraits, each of which is distinguished by
its own gestural quality and individual palette.

Mihai Olos
DCV 20222 ISBN 9783969120736 Acqn 32215
Mihai Olos (b. Arinis, Romania, 1940; d. Endingen am Kaiserstuhl, 2015) ranks among the most
fascinating artists of the second half of the twentieth century. His adaptations of the formal
vocabulary pioneered by Constantin Brancusi are unrivaled in their creative originality. His works
evince an utterly novel approach to the combination of materials from the culture of rural Romania
with the visual strategies of modernism. His formidable oeuvre engages with conceptual and
minimal art and comprises paintings, drawings, and sculptures, sometimes in the dimensions of
land-art projects, as well as performances and poetry. Despite the constraints imposed by the
communist system, his art and travels-during which he also met his kindred spirit Joseph Beuys-
were dedicated to the unerring pursuit of his vision of social sculpture and radical utopian
architecture.
