Amidst the chaos, five women and one legendary artist weave together a dangerous plot that could bring peace, or get them all killed.Among the authors and artists featured are Yuko Hasegawa, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Nadim Abbas, Wolfgang Tillmans, Douglas Fogle, Gianni Jetzer, Jane & Louise Wilson, Klaus Biesenbach, Joan Jonas and Hans Ulrich Obrist., Following the success of Art Basel Year 44, Art Basel Year 45 retraces and documents the dynamic experience of 2014's Art Basel three fairs in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong.Designed by Gavillet & Rust (Geneva), the Art Basel yearbook has an A-to-Z format that maps the world of Art Basel with a comprehensive look at the shows of 2014.Discussing works by artists such as Kim Beom, Martin Creed, Tom Friedman, Bruno Jakob, Sherrie Levine, Karin Sander and Sara Sizer, this book shows that debate and conflict around the monochrome is very much alive in contemporary visual culture.In 1797 Friedrich Schlegel wrote ''philosophy of art usually lacks one of two things: either the philosophy, or the art.'' This collection of essays contains both the philosophy and the art.Perversely, these older women act as accomplices-along with the extended family and the Roman Catholic Church-in the sordid age-old traffic in women.He also demonstrates how the apparatus we associate with a modern economy--stock markets, lines of credit, complex financial products, and international trade--were repeatedly developed, forgotten, and reinvented over the course of human history.Exploring the critical role of finance over the millennia, and around the world, Goetzmann details how wondrous financial technologies and institutions--money, bonds, banks, corporations, and more--have helped urban centers to expand and cultures to flourish.Interpretations of International Constructivism are by now familiar, either through their liberal or leftist interpretations, but in most cases the technophile avant-garde is represented as a severe, Leninist force, obsessed with Taylorism and Fordism, their innovations hence eventually serving a form of industrial domination - in this case, Stalinism.The book will provide a new reading of this stressing the centrality of physical comedy in the development of ideas about defamiliarisation, technical reproducibility and socialist art; this was an era when, to use Adorno's phrase, artists with communist sympathies tried to 'play a Chaplin trick' on the new processes of scientific management and the production line.
