If we look at urban walls with the eyes of Burhan Dogancay, a completely different world opens up: half-ripped posters on rough brickwork, covered in graffiti, scribblings, messages, signs, stickers. From this rich stock of structures, signs and symbols, the artist created his wall fragments, his \u003cem\u003eUrban Walls\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDogancay (1929-2013) was born in Istanbul and settled in New York in 1964, where he moved within the art scene around Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. His subject is the visual perception of texture, place, and memory, which he researches in serial works. For his \u003cem\u003eUrban Walls\u003c\/em\u003e, he records house walls and façades all over the world in a variety of media, using a wide range of materials and techniques such as photography, collage, and painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis works are archives of past decades which capture the spirit of the times. From the 1970s and 1980s, he progresses from these works to develop his \u003cem\u003eRibbons\u003c\/em\u003e—calligraphic paintings of poetic charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430206161132,"sku":"9783777428871","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777428871.jpg?v=1774559398"},{"product_id":"nitsch-spaces-of-colour-by-klaus-albrecht-schroder-9783777432564","title":"Nitsch: Spaces of Colour","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHermann Nitsch produced his first \"poured\" paintings around 1960.
