Powell's Staff: Best Books of 2023: Fiction (0 comment)
2023 was such a great year for fiction! We had the hardest time narrowing down our list of the best fiction books of the year, but after much debate, we settled on these 23 (an appropriate number for 2023, we decided). The books on this list take place in Hawaii, Argentina, the Hamptons, a Palace in the desert, and a land of milk and honey...

Publisher Comments

This new, fully illustrated catalogue on the celebrated progenitor of video art, Nam June Paik (1932andndash;2006), brings together a host of scholars, artists, and Paikandrsquo;s own collaborators to illuminate the work of this innovative artist. An essay by curator Michelle Yun takes readers through Paikandrsquo;s highly original career, providing insight into his radical and witty experiments with technology, especially in relation to the body, which he viewed as vital platforms for the future of art, science, and popular culture. Scholars David Joselit and John Maeda contribute texts examining the artistandrsquo;s interest in new media and popular culture. A roundtable discussion with three of Paikandrsquo;s own artistic collaborators and contemporary artistsandrsquo; statements shed light on the collaborative process and Paikandrsquo;s enduring influence on artistic practice today. Drawing on the newly established Nam June Paik Archive at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this book also features never-before-published primary sources that highlight Paikandrsquo;s prescient attitude towards the integration of increasingly indispensable technologies into modern life.

Review

andquot;A good introduction to the artistandrsquo;s work, and particularly valuable for reproducing a number of the artistandrsquo;s typescript notes and letters. No one is better on Paik than Paik.andquot;andmdash;Andrea Kirsh, The Artblog

Synopsis

This richly-illustrated catalogue on the work of the influential andldquo;father of video artandrdquo; features texts by scholars and by Paikandrsquo;s own contemporaries, his collaborators, and artists he has inspired.

Synopsis

The Chinese-French painter Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013) developed a distinctive abstract style blending the visual poetry of Chinese painting and calligraphy with European pictorial traditions. This stunning volume presents a richly woven narrative of the artist's life and work. Reintroducing Zao's work to a North American audience, the authors make a substantial contribution to scholarship on transnational art movements in the 20th and 21st centuries. Their essays consider the reception of Zao's work in the United States; his engagement with post-war abstraction; and his exploration of various artistic media. Zao Wou-Ki lived and worked at the intersection of two cultures. He blended Chinese calligraphic and ink painting aesthetics with European printmaking and abstract oil painting, becoming one of the earliest trans-cultural painters of the 20th century. His legacy reverberates in the global success of Chinese artists today.
