Recommended Art Books, by kfroms on Oct 8, 2024 15:02:55 GMT 1, Went to a few previews at Sothebyโs and Christieโs this week and was reminded how wonderful some of the auction catalogues can be. I kept a few over the years - they are a not only a good source to learn about art and artists , there are also a nice reminder what a massive elitist bubble the art market is. Anyway, here one of my favourites. Post war and Contemporary Evening Sale Christieโs New York, November 2012 A heavy thing, 380 pages long and filled with 60+ lots of the most amazing art. This is catalogue version with the Warhol 3D cover of the main lot โStatue of Libertyโ       How do you do to get some ? You are going there or you are ordering them on their site. As you said, they ts wonderful!
Otherwise the most amazing book store ever - Strand Books - has a massive amount of these on sale ( from the 60โs / 70โs up to recent stuff )
And as always: ebay is your friend.
The main auction ones ( May and November) in 2011 and 2012 are particularly great. Here two more:

A mix - I have previously worked for a NY based company and went there several times a year and it luckily always collided with auctions season so I went to the previews.

Might give them another week. I know Waterstones aren't exactly a small family business, but it's a shame if giants like Amazon are shutting out other options.

Went to Abu Dhabi for work a few years back and sneaked in a visit to this amazing exhibition:
R S T W from the private collection of Larry Gagosian
Pretty impressive selection from Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Serra, Twombly, Warhol and Wool.
Went to Hatchards today - there is quite a selection of signed Michael Craig-Martin books, guess around 9 or 10 different ones. If signed books are your thing you can knock yourself out.
There were also a few signed copies of the great โAll that glittersโ by Orlando Whitfield left. The book was mentioned here a few times and is really worth reading.
Happy weekend everyone.

Appreciate the post kfroms.
I was only looking for a signed edition of the Orlando Whitfield book the other day without much success.
Just tried the Hatchard's website, and cant see them on line? Would you have a link to them?
Failing that, if anyone visiting Hatchard's, and can pick one up for me, would be really appreciated.
Will of course cover any costs etc.

I will regret the place and the park ( I lived close to it before )
The book is not expensive at all. They will ship overseas but not at the moment. Only for France. Maybe better to wait. And in all good bookstores too .
long times ago they were after Meudo. La Forรชt in a gigantic park , with Moore statues everywhere. Yes itโs a very classy museum.
i heard that it will be Novel ( not sure ) that will build the new one.

Nice book though.
Will ask my wife regarding the slippers, John. She always knows where mine are so I sure she also knows where yours are.
Happy weekend.
