Bacon, En Toutes Lettres - Catalogue De L'Exposition

Centre Georges Pompidou 2019 ISBN 9782844268549 Acqn 29885
Hb 23x30cm 242pp col ills £43
Text in French

The Centre Pompidou continues its re-examination of key 20th century works by devoting a major
exhibition to Francis Bacon. The last major French exhibition of this artist's work was held in 1996
at the Centre Pompidou. More than twenty years later, Bacon: Books and Painting presents
paintings dating from 1971, the year of the retrospective event at the national galleries of the
Grand Palais, to his final works in 1992. The exhibition at the Centre Pompidou focuses on works
produced by Bacon in the last two decades of his career. It consists of sixty paintings (including
12 triptychs, in addition to a series of portraits and self-portraits) from major private and public
collections. From 1971 to 1992 (the year of the artist's death), his painting style was marked by its
simplification and intensification. His colours acquired new depth, drawn from a unique chromatic
register of yellow, pink and saturated orange. The catalogue deals especially with the strong bond
between Bacon's works and literature. Furthermore, the triptychs are presented in the form of
leaflets, in order to see their visual impact and their kinship from an unexpected literary angle.

Damien Hirst – Mandalas

White Cube 2019 ISBN 9781910844380 Acqn 29914
Hb 25x33cm 192pp 95col ills £50

White Cube is pleased to present 'Mandalas', an exhibition of new work by Damien Hirst at
Mason's Yard. His first major show in London for seven years, it features large-scale works from
the recent concentric paintings.

Returning to one of his most well-known motifs - the butterfly - Hirst's new paintings take their
inspiration from the mandala: highly patterned religious images that represent the cosmos or
universe in Hindu, Buddhist, Jain or Shinto traditions. Predominantly circular, they feature
exquisitely colourful butterfly wings placed into intricate concentric patterns on household gloss
paint. Complex and restless, their compositions resolve at the centre with a single butterfly, a
point of visual and mental focus; a spiritual or energy nexus.

Sonja Ferlov Mancoba

Centre Georges Pompidou 2019 ISBN 9782844268518 Acqn 29825
Hb 19x24cm 160pp col ills £32.95
Text in French

The Galerie d'Art Graphique serves as the backdrop to a unique exhibition devoted to the Danish
modernist sculptor Sonja Ferlov Mancoba (1911-1984), with over fifty sculptures and sixty
drawings. Discover a major modernist sculptor, who has also left us an original and intimate body
of work on paper. Some of her sculptures are presented here in two versions, the original in
plaster and another in bronze, in order to demonstrate what matter can provide in terms of
expression, while revealing the creative process of this transfer. In the artist's view, art, and more
particularly sculpture, is rooted in human expression. For her, the creation of the same figure in
various matters provides a different note to this expression.

F.R.DAVID Summer 2019 - Recto Verso

Uh Books 2019 ISBN 9780995713390 Acqn 29867
Pb 12x19cm 210pp ills £11.50

The eighteenth issue of 'F.R. DAVID' is edited by Will Holder and had its beginnings in prosody,
the measure of language, geometry, and a notion of imagist transcription. A two-dimensional
exercise, it turns out, on paper. Words were tuned out in favour of the volume of values our
bodies exchanged. This issue's diverse contents centre around the non-verbal, the insinuated,
the reverse-side of the image, the backside, and perhaps even the next page. With contributions
by Simone Weil, Marcel Proust, Will Holder, Anna Daucikova, Yvonne Rainer, Jesse Birch, Paola
Grassi, David Lang, Peter Dobai, John Yau, Clare Noonan, and others.
