ΒΟΟΚ:100 Αrtists Who Epitomize The Contemporary Art Scene,Taschen Publications
The special two-volume edition ”100 Αrtists Who Epitomize The Contemporary Art Scene” by Taschen Publications features 100 of the artists from TASCHEN’s seminal “Art at the Turn of the Millennium” and the “Art Now!” series, gathered in a comprehensive survey of contemporary art at the start of the 21st Century. The selection includes a wide variety of works by pioneering artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marlene Dumas, Damien Hirst, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Albert Oehlen, Richard Prince, Charles Ray, Cindy Sherman, and Christopher Wool – alongside a younger generation including Glenn Brown, Natalie Djurberg, Tom Friedman, Mark Grotjahn and Terence Koh. The artists are listed alphabetically, making the book a quick reference for educators and students. Each of the 100 artists included is introduced by a very brief one paragraph statement, in English, German, and French. All art forms are well represented, from the famous works of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Cicely Brown to the sculptures of Maurizio Cattelan or Jeff Koons. Photography is very well represented by both famous artists, such as Nan Goldin or Rineke Dijkstra.-Efi Michalarou
