Joya

Drawings

Written by Jose Joya himself, this book focuses on the artist’s drawings, particularly nudes and landscapes. Though more known for his abstract expressionist paintings, “he has an unabashed feeling for human life and a frank curiosity for the contents of this world. His technique betrays the full compass and stridency of the contemporary artist; his tone and sweep have the majestic trappings and excitement of the Renaissance.”

At Home with Filipino Art and Artists

BEAUTIFUL COFFEE TABLE BOOK

At Home with Filipino Art and Artists opens the doors to the homes and ateliers of twenty-one artists and art lovers–all wonderfully personal and idiosyncratic! Enter into the private worlds of renowned Filipino artists, sculptors, and collectors, where it is difficult to tell where art ends and real life begins. Writer and artist Alfred R. Roces set the tone with an intimate description of his bushland home in Sydney, Australia. Homes of artists and art patrons — from Abueva to Orlina, from Luz to Elizalde Navarro, from Silvana Diaz to Jaime Laya–allow us to travel beyond the static world of museums and to experience the art in their lives, revealing a deep relationship between the art object and its owner: Delight in rooms that continue to grow and mature with the creative spirits behind them. This is a book about homes with a raw edge–very honest and appealing to the senses where the artists’ and the art collectors’ creative, independent and flexible spirit reflect their basic beliefs–where seemingly mundane details coexist with the art. Discover the Filipino artists’ and art collectors’ abode–homes that have nothing to do with being pretty–homes that work for the artist and collector–not for some design diva. Take an engaging tour of their personal vignettes, celebrate the sensitivity of their private spaces and collections that elevate the senses to a continuous passion. Whether a serious collector, seasoned designer, or simply a neophyte, At Home with Filipino Art and Artists is your ultimate experience in living with art.

Picasso and Portraiture

The Museum of Modern Art

The first 100 years of modern art witnessed the popularization of photography, the decline of traditional patronage, and an increasing emphasis on abstraction in painting, all of which threatened the survival of portraiture as a genre. It continued to flourish because modern painters – Picasso foremost amongst them – sought and found meaningful new ways to portray the human face. This book focuses on this part of the artist’s oeuvre, reproducing works in oil, gouache, pastel, charcoal, and other media to illustrate the solutions Picasso invented to solve the “problem” of the modernist portrait. Published to accompany an exhibition to be shown at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1996, the book contains eight essays examining different periods and aspects of Picasso’s career. The personal relationships between Picasso and his subjects are clarified. Contributions come from Anne Baldassari, Pierre Daix, Michael Fitzgerald, Brigitte Leal, Marilyn McCully, Robert Rosenblum, William Rubin, Helene Seckel, and Kirk Varnedoe.

The Value of Art

by: Michael Findlay

What is art worth? How can a work by Warhol be sold for more than $100,000,000? This critically acclaimed book, newly revised, updated, and generously illustrated throughout, explains the market for art—and art’s value for all of us.
In The Value of Art, internationally renowned art dealer and market expert Michael Findlay offers a lively and authoritative tour of the art world informed by almost a half-century in the business and a passion for great art. With style and wry wit, Findlay explores how art acquires value—both commercial and social—and how these values circulate among the artists, dealers, and collectors that comprise today’s complex and constantly evolving art world. In the process, he demystifies how art is bought and sold while also constantly looking beyond sales figures to emphasize the primacy of art’s essential, noncommercial worth. Coloring his account with wise advice, insider anecdotes involving scoundrels and scams, stories of celebrity collectors, and remarkable discoveries, Findlay has distilled a lifetime’s experience in this indispensable guide for today’s art lover.
