Bøker av Hans Ulrich (Artistic Director Obrist

The Hockney Interviews brings together expansive conversations held between art world icon David Hockney, who is best known for his large scale, vivid paintings, and pre-eminent curator, Hans Ulrich Obrist. Friends since 2006, when Obrist first visited Hockney in his London studio, the conversations span a 16-year period to the present day. Exploring Hockney's dedicated and prolific practice, his relationship with fellow artists Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon, fervent preoccupation with painting nature, ruminations on new technologies and his love of smoking - Hockney's musings are as bold and varied as his work. The Hockney Interviews is a hardback reading book and intimate portrait of David Hockney, one of the world's most distinguished living artists. Fully illustrated with rarely seen portraits in conjunction with artworks spanning the breadth of Hockney's artistic career.

HENI Publishing is delighted to present INVADER: In Conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, a book that offers unique insight into the enigmatic French street artist, renowned for his iconic ceramic tile mosaics inspired by the pixelated 8-bit video game art of the 1970s and 80s. INVADER features an expansive, in-depth interview conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, which guides readers through the artist's recent Paris exhibition, Invader Space Station (17 February - 5 May 2024), in the first section and through his studio in the second, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Invader's technical and creative processes, and the global impact of his work. The first section of the book traces the route of the exhibition - held at the former offices of the newspaper Libération- with sub-chapters corresponding to the 'levels' of the show, reflecting on the conceptual and spatial dimensions of Invader's work and his position as a 'hacker' of public spaces. The second section takes place in the artist's studio where the conversation continues on a more personal note, offering an intimate look into Invader's creative world. Richly illustrated, the book maps Invader's numerous artistic encounters, from the graphic novels of Enki Bilal to legendary street artists like Leonard Hilton McGurr (aka Futura 2000) and Tsang Tsou-choi (the 'King of Kowloon'), as well as his relationships with contemporaries including the provocative British artist Damien Hirst, American artist and activist Shepard Fairey and New York graffiti artist Revs.

Revelations in stained glass from the medium's undisputed master, Brian ClarkeAcross his five-decade career, British artist Brian Clarke (born 1953) has consistently pushed the boundaries of stained glass as a medium, incorporating new technologies to unlock its visual potential. A Great Light crystallizes Clarke's vision for stained glass as fundamentally architectural; his works are the result of a dedicated respect for the buildings they inhabit and the surrounding contexts of his practice. The book offers a view of the profound interaction between space and artwork, with over 130 beautifully reproduced images of 68 different stained glass artworks filling its pages and extending into the gatefolds. A Great Light is a striking catalog that serves as a testament to Clarke's widely regarded status as the most important artist working in stained glass today.
