Résumé : Renée Levi is one of Switzerland’s most prominent contemporary artists working with painting and installation. Since the late 1990s she has examined the limits of painting, expanding her explorations in three-dimensional installations and interventions. This leads to surprising dialogues between architecture and her artwork in these three-dimensional works. Form and color take on immense dimensions, without losing any of their fragility. Besides essays on Levi’s oeuvre, this publication offers a comprehensive survey of her multi-layered work from the past decade, while also documenting the new works in Baden and Geneva.Renée Levi (* 1960 in Istanbul, lives in Basel) studied architecture and fine art in Basel and Zurich. She has been a professor of painting at the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst in Basel since 2001. Her works have been exhibited around the globe for more than twenty years. In 2018 the artist was awarded the Société des Arts de Genève prize for art.

Résumé : This catalogue, the second volume in a proposed series of five, chronicles Sean Scully’s paintings of the 1980s. Beginning with major breakthrough works early in the decade, it profiles the development of Scully’s mature style as well as his growing success in America and internationally.Scully, a native of Ireland, was educated in England and moved to the United States in 1975. By the early 1980s, he was established in New York and making works that would influence his work years to come. In works both small (Solomon) and large (Heart of Darkness), Scully developed a powerful style of richly painted stripes and shapes with a masterly control of color and strongly built canvases. In an era of low regard for abstract painting, Scully invigorated and reinvented the form to include rich evocations of places, literature and other art forms, and emotions. By the end of the decade, he was universally regarded as one of the most important artists of the second half of the twentieth century.

The works and essays demonstrate Puryear’s powerful, original and influential engagement with art history and social history on both a personal level, as an African American artist, and universally. With a definitive illustrated chronology of the artist’s career over the last fifty years, 'Martin Puryear: Liberty / Libertà' is an essential look at one of the most important artists today, who continues to work at the height of his powers.
