Anselm Kiefer The Heavenly Palaces: Merkabah Edited by Peter Nisbet With contributions by Klaus Gallwitz, Laura Muir, and Lisa Saltzman While most major museums in the United States and abroad hold examples of the German artist Anselm Kiefer’s work, the nature and extent of his achievement are the subject of intense debate. This volume reproduces in full The Heavenly Palaces: Merkabah, an important large-scale artist’s book created by Kiefer in 1990. Featuring highly evocative images beautifully reproduced here in full color, this work is accompanied by three penetrating essays by experts who approach the book from various perspectives, explicating its many layers of meaning to an unprecedented degree. 2003 56 pp. 5 b/w + 15 color illus.

Paper ISBN 09897-9 $18.95/$15.16 Deborah Martin Kao This remarkable book is the first to examine Schneider’s innovative portrait work. Deborah Martin Kao discusses Schneider’s re-presentation of nineteenthcentury studio portraits, his handprint photograms, and his fragmented face portraits—all of which reveal as much about the language of photography as they do about the subjects being depicted. She shows how Schneider portrays the collaboration between artist and subject, seen in his use of a light pen to sculpt or trace his subjects over long exposures, and in his prints that display traces of movement in time. Kao also discusses Schneider’s work with scientists to create negatives from which he makes strikingly beautiful images of blood, DNA, and strands of hair, and how these represent a fascinating evolution in traditional thinking about the nature of photographic portraiture. 2004 136 pp. 30 b/w + 100 color illus. + 3 gatefolds Flexibound ISBN 10054-x $24.95 Book announcements via email Go to yalebooks.com to sign up for email announcements of new releases in your favorite subjects.
