Résumé:
As suggested by the work of Yves Klein, this book is not about colour rules or colour theory; instead it takes pleasure in the oscillation between the aesthetic and the conceptual, materiality and immateriality, the object and the void, purification and mystification, and between erasure and colouring in.

Résumé:
As suggested by the work of Yves Klein, this book is not about colour rules or colour theory; instead it takes pleasure in the oscillation between the aesthetic and the conceptual, materiality and immateriality, the object and the void, purification and mystification, and between erasure and colouring in. Colour is celebrated for its immanence, its quality of being in the world, but also the potential it has to open up a psychic space, a world of lost feeling; with literally the power to take us over, colour us in. "Colour after Klein" explores the significance of colour as it emerges in the work of 20 of some influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including Yves Klein, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman, Louise Bourgeois, Andy Warhol and James Turrell. Featuring an introduction by curator Jane Alison, an essay that explores the place of colour in the work of Yves Klein by art historian Nuit Banai, and profiles of each of the contributing artists, this book provides a new perspective on key works of Modern and contemporary art. Also included in the book are artists' writings on the subject of colour, with pieces by Klein, Judd and Hélio Oiticica. This book accompanies the exhibition "Colour after Klein" at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, 27 May to 11 September 2005.

Résumé:
For millennia, architects and builders have attempted to rationalize cities into well-functioning and liveable places. While many aspects of a city evolve naturally, other facets result from human interventions and radical imagination. "Future city" celebrates the visionary urban schemes that have preoccupied architects trying to create a better world from the 1950s to the present. This publication assembles several generations of utopian architecture in a single volume. With the city serving as the context and catalyst for the works, the book provides resource for contemporary architectural and urban development and innovation in the third millennium. It features hundreds of seminal works by some sixty architects, ranging from the groundbreaking experiments of Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, Daniel Libeskind and Coop Himmelb(l)au, alongside a new generation of rising stars, including Asymptote, NOX, UN Studio and Greg Lynn.
