Prince / Picasso
fundACIón Museo PICAsso MáLAGA
Text and interview by José Lebrero stals.
over the past two years, richard prince (born 1949) has been working on an intensive assimilation of picasso,
producing a succession of collages and canvases that directly dialogue with the modernist master’s
oeuvre. For picasso, as for prince, the theme of the female nude is an abiding motif—“he never lets go of
the body,” as prince observes—and prince’s latest nudes are a typically energetic mixture of appropriation
and wonderfully crude, irreverent interjection in the fashion of Duchamp, deploying such materials as ink
jet printing, oil crayon, pastel, acrylic, graphite and charcoal. the black-and-white photographs of female
nudes are derived from recently published anatomy how-to books, and endow prince’s homages with a
graceful, rhythmic plasticity. this elegantly produced, linen-bound volume (with a bellyband that doubles
as a folded poster), published for a 2012 exhibition at the museo picasso in málaga, presents these works
for the first time. It includes a brief interview with prince and critical commentary by José Lebrero Stals.

Hailed simultaneously as a provocateur, prankster and tragic poet of our times, maurizio Cattelan (born 1960) has created
some of the most unforgettable images in recent contemporary art. Upon the occasion of his 2011 guggenheim retrospective,
All, Cattelan astonished the art world by announcing his retirement from art, declaring that he would instead focus on the production
of his magazine Toilet Paper. For the exhibition, Cattelan hung his entire oeuvre—128 works—from the middle of the
guggenheim’s rotunda, in a sensational gesture of both witty irreverence and summary completion. Maurizio Has Left the
Building is the artist’s documentation of this landmark exhibition. Created by Italian photographer pierpaolo Ferrari, the publication
is composed of several unbound signatures of installation photographs, with drawings by matteo nuti, text by Caroline
Corbetta, under the art direction of Sebastiano mastroeni. this oversize volume conveys the multidimensionality of
Cattelan’s last installation.

Jeff Koons: The Painter and the Sculptor
hATJe CAnTz
Text by vinzenz brinkmann, Isabelle Graw, Joachim Pissarro, Matthias ulrich,
scott rothkopf, et al.
Jeff Koons (born 1955) is probably the most famous artist of the 1980s, and certainly one
of the most notorious and controversial. In the summer of 2012, the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung
and the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt are collaborating on a bold and
unprecedented simultaneous overview of Koons’ sculptural and painterly oeuvre. the
Liebieghaus show, titled Jeff Koons: The Sculptor, creates a dialogue between Koons’
sculptures (both world-renowned and recent works) and the nineteenth-century villa
whose collection spans 5,000 years of sculpture, from ancient egypt to the present. the
artist fell in love with the Liebieghaus after visiting the city on his way to the german
company arnold, which produced his oversize works in polished steel, such as the
Balloon Flower sculptures of the 1990s. the Schirn’s exhibit, Jeff Koons: The Painter,
focuses on the artist’s monumental paintings, whose motifs draw upon the most varied
sources of high and popular culture, from manet to popeye. In recent years, following
the success of his flower and balloon dogs, Koons has revisited his painting practice,
declaring, “I like the sense of warmth that comes from an actual painting and that’s why I
returned to making paintings.” this substantial volume includes 270 color reproductions
of sculptures and paintings from the breadth of Koons’ 30-year career.

hATJe CAnTz
Jeff Koons (born 1955) has remained constantly in the public eye since he first
showed his Equilibrium works—basketballs floating in tanks of water, framed
nike ads and a cast bronze lifeboat—at the influential east village gallery International
with monument in 1985. Since that time, he has continued to scandalize
the art world with such unforgettable works as “michael Jackson and Bubbles”
(1988), a series of life-size, gold-plated porcelain sculptures of the pop star and
his pet chimpanzee; “puppy,” (1992), a 43-foot-tall topiary sculpture of a West
Highland terrier; and “Balloon Flower (magenta)” (1995–2000), which broke all
contemporary art auction records when it sold in 2008 for more than $25,000,000.
this volume, published on the occasion of Koons’ summer 2012 show at the esteemed
Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland, examines three of Koons’ most influential
bodies of work in depth: The New (1980–87), featuring the vacuum cleaner
works in plexiglas cases; Banality (1988), featuring such iconic painted ceramic
and wooden sculptural works as “michael Jackson and Bubbles,” “Winter Bears”
and “Woman in tub”; and Celebration (ongoing since 1994), the legendary series
of sculptures and paintings which includes the stainless steel “Balloon Dog”
sculptures. taken together, these three series represents the most spectacular
and significant phases in Koons’ oeuvre to date.
