Bruce Nauman - Presence/Absence

White Cube 2021 ISBN 9781910844465 Acqn 31536
Pb 17x23cm 96pp col ills £31.25

White Cube's second book with Bruce Nauman, Presence / Absence is published to coincide with
Nauman's solo exhibition at White Cube Hong Kong in 2021.

Including a text by independent curator and writer Joan Simon, whose scholarship on Nauman's
work has been widely acknowledged since her 1988 Art in America article, this exhibition
catalogue focuses on five of the artist's films. Making a pair with Nauman's 2012 Inside the White
Cube publication, which centred on films made between 1967 and 1969, this new title brings
together five works ranging in date from 1999 to 2013.

The book foregrounds the artist's continued experimental approach, both in front of and behind
the camera, and considers these more recent films within the wider context of the artist's entire
oeuvre.

Contributors: Joan Simon is an independent curator, writer and editor who has conducted a
number of interviews and written extensively on Bruce Nauman.

Julie Curtiss - Monads And Dyads

White Cube 2021 no ISBN Acqn 31537
Hb 23x30cm 128pp col ills £50

Julie Curtiss' first monograph is published to coincide with the artist's solo exhibition in London,
which opened to the public in May 2021. Titled 'Monads and Dyads' the book offers a
comprehensive overview of Curtiss' work to date, which includes paintings, works on paper and
sculptures.

Curtiss' visual language draws on a history of figuration that includes 18th- and 19th-century
French painting, as well as the Chicago Imagists and the 'pop' imagery of comic books, manga
and illustration. This title, as well offering generous reproductions of her works, brings together a
broad range of imagery that, when considered alongside her works, provides new insights and an
understanding of the many visual sources that inform the work.

An essay by Erika Balsom considers Curtiss' work within a framework of the golden age of
cinema alongside an essay by Simon Baker, which focuses on the role of surrealism in the work
of this young contemporary artist. Finally, an in conversation with Susanna Greeves gives voice
to the artist's own thoughts and inspirations for the work.

Leon Wuidar
White Cube 2021 ISBN 9781910844458 Acqn 31538
Pb 21x25cm 112pp col ills £37.50

Born in 1938 in Liege, Belgium, Leon Wuidar has explored geometric abstraction for over 60
years, refining his own particular approach which is informed by and deeply connected to
architecture and its concerns of light, space, volume and perspective.

The most comprehensive book on Wuidar to be published in recent years, it was produced to
accompany the artist's retrospective at Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich. This was his first
exhibition in Switzerland and featured selected works from his oeuvre, which encompasses not
only paintings but also sketchbooks, art-in-architecture projects and book cover illustrations. All of
these aspects of Wuidar's practice are addressed in this comprehensive overview, generously
illustrated, with an extended essay by museum director Sabine Schaschl, and an in conversation
with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries, London.

Bram Bogart
White Cube 2021 ISBN 9781910844427 Acqn 31539
Hb 24x33cm 92pp col ills £43.75

This is the first book published by White Cube on the work of this important Dutch born, Belgian
artist Bram Bogart (1921-2012). Spanning a lifetime of work, between 1959 and the mid-1990s,
the focus is on the 1960s and 1970s - two key decades in Bogart's career.

Bogart was primarily an abstract painter who immersed himself in the formal concerns of painting.
Foregrounding gesture, colour and the physical materiality of paint itself, his works are
characterised by their rich, almost sculptural accumulations of painted matter. Newly
photographed for this publication, the vivid colours and physical impact of his paintings are
brought to life through generous reproductions accompanied by rarely seen archival photographs
taken at important moments of the artist's life, often intimate and always revealing.

An essay by Dr Flavia Frigeri which brings new insights into the development of the artist's
practice and his broad range of influences is published alongside the artist's own statement.
Serving as an invaluable resource to an understanding of the work, in this extended text originally
published in 1987, Bogart honestly and succinctly articulates the ideas that informed the
development of this unique form of 'sculptural painting'.
