Published to coincide with an exhibition at The Henry Moore Institute, selected by three artists - Tobias Rehberger, Joelle Tuerlinckx and Keith Wilson - based in Frankfurt, Brussels and London respectively.
In asking three contemporary artists (born between 1958 and 1966) “what is sculpture now?”, they found themselves returning to works from this period; works which had affected the way they understood the meaning of sculpture, and which continue to affect them now.

Who can forget the triumphant advance of Young British Art that provoked the art scene in the nineties?
With works from more than 100 artists, this publication traces the epoch-making art movements of an entire century, beginning and ending with a decided break with the traditional. As early as 1914, a group of young British artists, the Vorticists, in their magazine Blast! propagated a style which blended influences from French Cubism and Italian Futurism into an independent British Modernism. In turn, mavericks such as Henry Moore and Francis Bacon are unthinkable without the British Primitivists and Surrealists of the twenties and thirties. The specifically British strand of pop art began with the legendary exhibitions of the Independent Group in the fifties. In the eighties, New British Sculpture emerged, represented by important exponents such as Tony Cragg and Antony Gormley. The Young British Artists and the show Freeze, jointly organized by Damien Hirst and friends in the London Docklands in 1988, finally bring the historical survey to a close.
The artists: Francis Bacon, Peter Blake, Tony Cragg, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Lucian Freud, Gilbert & George, Antony Gormley, Richard Hamilton, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Gary Hume, Allen Jones, R. B. Kitaj, Richard Long, Henry Moore, Julian Opie, Bridget Riley, and others

TRESPASSING: Houses x Artists documents the work of the contemporary artists Kevin Appel, Barbara Bloom, Chris Burden, Jim Isermann, T. Kelly Mason, Julian Opie, Renée Petropoulos, David Reed, and Jessica Stockholder. In collaboration with architecture collaborative OpenOffice, each artist radically reinvents how domestic space is conceptualized and inhabited. The resulting works are open-ended, representing a rigorous new approach to visualizing form rather than a final product or conceptual destination.
From Jessica Stockholder's subversive meditation on the suburban home, to Chris Burden's quasi-legal Small Skyscraper, to Barbara Bloom's dislocating architecture (unfeasible, save through future technologies) to Kevin Appel's ambivalent homage to modernism, TRESPASSING breaks the conceptual boundaries that have historically divided art and architecture to describe new strategies of conceiving private space. Realized in an architectural language by architecture collaborative OpenOffice, the book describes each artists' project and includes critical essays to contextualize their works.

Modern icons and iconographers – artists, photographers, fashion designers, models – have increasingly been crossing boundaries to create new and seductive images for a sophisticated audience.
From Helmut Newton’s controversial photography and Jenny Holzer’s radical statements, through Elisa Jimenez’s edgy performances and yBas’ recent collaborations with Kate Moss for Vogue, to mutilated magazine images and re-worked catwalk footage, this crossover is fertile ground for the creative and the original.
Whether describing an art installation in a SoHo boutique, Tracey Emin as Vivienne Westwood model, Duggie Fields’s headless debutantes or a vastly oversized Beverly Semmes dress, author Chris Townsend shows how the alluring, illusory faces of art and fashion are fused in the new mix.
Raising questions about identity, style, culture, commerce and beauty, this book reveals the ambivalent relationship between art and fashion, and shows the spectacular visual results as artists both succumb to fashion’s powerful lure and at the same time recoil from it.
