The publication introduces artistic strategies used to explore TV and its specific contents and narrative forms in video, film, painting, sculpture and performance, ranging from the sculptural object of the TV box to the manipulation of the TV image and the use of its structure of lines and pixels in works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTelevision, which is among the most important inventions of the twentieth century, has developed a unique aesthetic and new communication structures worldwide. The early 1960s, the beginning of the development of TV as the first visual mass medium, were also the beginning of an artistic exploration of TV. From artists known for their work in this field such as Nam June Paik and Vostell to current works by younger generations of artists such as Thomas Demand, Tobias Rehberger, Ulrich Polster and Melanie Gilligan, this publication focuses on the analysis, paraphrasing and parody of TV formats and their pictorial nature, amongst other things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432795881708,"sku":"9783777424446","price":90.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777424446.jpg?v=1774556771"},{"product_id":"gerhard-richter-by-stephan-berg-9783777428949","title":"Gerhard Richter","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGerhard Richter (*1932) is an exceptional personality—not because his pictures are world famous, but because he has demonstrated a new approach to painting. His art masterfully moves between abstraction and representation, sensuousness and denial—ambivalent attitudes which he demonstrated even in his early work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGerhard Richter's oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is the tangible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis applies in particular to his door, curtain, and window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central focus of this volume.
