In 2000, the first edition of the Tate Modern Handbook introduced readers to the startling architecture of the brand-new modern art museum on London’s south bank, now the most visited modern art museum in the world.
This new revised edition, published in response to the first reorganization of the collection, presents the artworks afresh and examines the part Tate Modern now plays in global cultural life. Andrew Marr contributes an essay examining the Tate Modern phenomenon, while an expanded A-Z of works in the collection includes entries on more than 120 artists, plus explanations of key terms in art and museology. More than simply a guide to Tate Modern, this is an ideal introductory survey of 20th- and 21st-century art. |

"I am merely using that which is available to describe that which is experienced."-Julian Opie Perhaps more than any artist of his generation, Julian Opie (b. 1958) has taken his art beyond the gallery walls and out into the mainstream of cultural life, testing his ideas in a multitude of different mediums. This is the first publication to offer a complete and highly illustrated survey of his career and work: from the early figurative painted metal sculptures, through 3-D evocations of European highway travel and urban high-rise buildings, to his recent cool graphic style, which has been seen on billboards and in large-scale site-specific wall paintings. Mary Horlock's text explores the way Opie's unique, trademark visual vocabulary has developed, and her interview with him reveals much about the motivation and vision of this most individual of artists at an important point in his career. |

Product Description:
Rachel Whiteread (b. 1963) uses materials such as plaster, concrete, resin, and rubber to mold not the object itself but the area within or around it, single-handedly expanding the parameters of contemporary sculpture in the process. This book is the first significant survey of her career and includes a new commentary on key works by the artist. Whiteread first gained wide recognition in 1990 with Ghost, a plaster cast of the interior of an ordinary room. She won the Turner Prize in 1993, the same year as her first large-scale public project, House, a concrete cast of a 19th-century London row house. She has since completed additional site-specific projects: Holocaust Memorial in the Judenplatz, Vienna; Water Tower in New York; and Monument, installed on the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, London. |

Good art should elicit a response of Huh? Wow!’ as opposed to Wow! Huh?’”Ed Ruscha American artist Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) is a master of creating art that is at once playful and profound. Ruscha’s inimitable work frequently involves the setting of a single word or phrase against a stained background or monumental landscape. His paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, books, and films were influential in the development of Pop Art, and his stunning artist’s books continue to inspire up-and-coming artists today. In this definitive overview of Ruscha’s career to date, Mary Richards traces the progression of the artist’s work across five decades. The book also focuses on Ruscha’s techniques, particularly his delicate drawings, prints using organic materials, and process of making art as documented in his notebooks. With stunning reproductions and new interview material, this thought-provoking book probes the internal logic of Ruscha’s oeuvre for words, images, and phrases that resurface time and again. |

In May 1994, the Tate Gallery in London announced that it was going to create a huge modern art gallery in London. This book tells the inside story of how the new gallery was built at Bankside power station. It looks at: how and why the architect was chosen; how the design evolved; how well the Tate team - unused for the most part to behaving like developers - guided the design and construction process; how the building was gutted and prepared for the massive amount of new construction; how the decisions were made about what to put in the gallery and where; how the local community was kept happy; and how the landscaping was designed. |

This engaging survey probes the spellbinding life and work of Louise Bourgeois, whose artworks are among the most memorable of the 20th century, and now the 21st. Bourgeois, born in Paris in 1911, has produced a body of work that is as diverse in its use of materials as it is consistent in its themes. While placing her within key art historical traditions, each chapter focuses on the artist’s use of different media and techniques, from painting and assemblage to sculpture, paper ephemera, and beyond. Quotations and interviews with the artist provide insight into her motivations and concerns. As Bourgeois approaches her own centenary, still active and creating new work, this accessible introduction is a fitting tribute to the achievement of an astonishing artist. |

Born in Madrid in 1953, Juan Muñoz is internationally renowned for sculptural installations in which he situates the human figure within elaborate or complex architectural settings. This book documents an installation devised specifically for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. Muñoz creates spaces using elements such as patterned floors, balconies, and furniture. By a highly considered placement of figures, the artist entices the viewer into an engagement with the implied dramas unraveling within. Muñoz's cast of characters includes dwarfs, ventriloquist's dummies, ballerinas, and circus performers. His work makes reference to earlier art, such as the paintings of Velasquez and classical sculpture, as well as to the films of Luis Buñuel. An introduction by Susan May to the work of Juan Muñoz is followed by an anthology of texts and images that have informed Muñoz's thinking in the evolution of the Turbine Hall project. These are in the form of photographs and drawings by the artist, facsimiles of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, and passages from novels--a sketchbook of ideas that convey the process of making art. |

American artist Paul McCarthy (b. 1945) is internationally acclaimed for his inventive installations and video and performance pieces, many of which use iconic imagery taken from childhood and popular culture combined with sexually charged and transgressive elements. In summer 2003, McCarthy is installing two enormous inflatable sculptures, Blockhead and Daddies Bighead, outside Tate Modern, London. Blockhead revisits one of McCarthy's trademark characters, a mutant cartoon character with a Pinocchio nose emerging from its cuboid head. More than 110 feet high, the inflatable sculpture is hollow, allowing public access to a vending machine selling uniquely branded candy. Daddies Bighead, over 50 feet high, consists of a body that is a giant replica of a ketchup bottle and a head that McCarthy describes as "the head of the patriarchal tower, a penis tower bottle." McCarthy sees books as an integral part of his work, and this new volume includes dramatic installation photography, working drawings, and maquettes, as well as a new interview with the artist. |
