MARY HEILMANN
Seeing Things, Visions, Waves and Roads
In tandem with new shows and increased interest in American painter Mary Heilmann comes this artist’s book. Mary Heilmann, a West Coast artist who relocated to New York in the 1990s, paints bright, abstract canvases that have been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe. Next year, she is part of a group exhibition looking at artists working in the 1980s, which begins at MCA Chicago and travels to the Walker and ICA Boston. Heilmann’s works can be found in major American museum collections, such as SF MOMA, New Museum, the Whitney and AIC. This small, intensely readable book brings together Heilmann’s ideas, influences, sources and interpretations; it is the latest in the annual Kienbaum Artists Book series, a joint venture of Cologne-based industrialist Jochen Kienbaum and Snoeck publishers.

HIRYCZUK / VAN OEVELEN
Landfall
The idea began with two islands: the reclaimed marshland called Zuidas in central Amsterdam, and the youngest island in the world, Surtsey, off the coast of Iceland. Although similar in size, they couldn’t be more different. Zuidas is a glossy, dense, modern business district; Surtsey an inaccessible, uninhabited volcanic environment accessible only for research. This beautifully conceived book documents a temporary art project dreamed up by the artist team of Elodie Hiryczuk and Sjoerd van Oevelen, installing billboard-size panoramic photos of Surtsey on the streets of Zuidas. The book’s full-color photos illustrate the project’s brilliant mash-up of art, geography, history, geology, urban planning and architecture. With wide-ranging texts, including a reprint of Gilles Deleuze’s 1953 ‘L’île déserte. The website for this project won a Red Dot Award for design – (www.landfall-project.info)
