Art Books worth buying, by hitme on Jun 11, 2008 20:33:12 GMT 1, Is there anything in "Existencilism" that is not in "Wall and Piece" ?? I always wondered if there were any unique parts to the individual black books that were not in Wall and Piece.

Art Books worth buying, by lee3 on Jun 11, 2008 21:30:24 GMT 1, The Ultimate Picasso
Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne (3 books including all paintings and sculptures and amazing tidbits and photos from '61-'69 so far). Unfortunately, it's rather expensive, and a chaper alternative is the book "Giant Size".
I bought Andy Warhol (Richard Polsky) for a hilarious read on various artists, collectors, and dealers in the market.
Pop Art: A Continuing History (marco livingstone). The most complete and informative read on the last major movement covering both sides of the pond.

The Faith of Graffiti
You might be able to pick up a copy from Amazon but it will be pretty expensive.

Art Books worth buying, by Blind Angle on Jun 12, 2008 11:15:56 GMT 1, I'll add:
Stencil Graffiti Capital Melbourne (Smallman & Nyman)
1000 Stencils, Argentina Graffiti (Guido Indij)
Icepick, Icelandic Street Art (Thordis Claessen)
Street Art Chile (Rod Palmer)
Paris Underground (Archer & Parre)......not quite about street art as such, but about all the paintings etc in the 177 miles of tunnels under Paris, including work by f.ex. Mesnager. A beautifully illustrated and very interesting read!
......and one o my favourites which is mentioned above is Tristan Manco "Street Sketchbook"
Good Thread!

Art Books worth buying, by Pattycakes on Jun 12, 2008 12:12:18 GMT 1, I'd say two of the most usefull books I own are Contemporary Art in Print II and III these are published by Charles Booth-Clibborn and the Paragon Press, and are a complete catalogue of the editions he's published, great if you are into Hirst, Chapmans, Doig, Quinn to name a few.

Art Books worth buying, by scavos on Jun 13, 2008 23:20:42 GMT 1, A kind forum member bought me the Micallef book which is fookin' ace! Thank you kind sir.
Taschen pubished a remarkable little tome (sic) on erotic art that indeed carried said title. In which Jeff Koons demonstrates how he has produced some very interesting work in his time; none more so than with his then wife, Cicciolina.
Seriously, it's also (literally) fookin' ace!

Check it out on Amazon - it's beautiful and superbly written.
Also buy the Cy Twombly monograph.
Victor Pasmore - the Norbert Lynton book - if you like British abstract ary - part of the Euston Road school.
Armsrock - All My Friends Are Made Of Paper - beautiful little book.
They'll keep you going and all stunning.

Does anyone have any further suggestions of good art books - I'm looking for more books on how the art world works etc rather than books about specific artists.
Cheers
