more new books!

Well, i’ve spent the last day or two cataloguing more new books for the Art Library. Highlights include:

The Futurism catalogue from the latest Tate Modern exhibition on this contorversial Italian art movement (the exhibition closes on 20th september i think)

Autumn Flowers, a catalogue on Nina Saunders‘ exhibition at Pallant House Gallery

We’ve also got copies of Endless Supply, an exciting new artists’ zine indepentantly published in Birmingham.

If you’re an artist producing any sort of publication, from photocopied zines to leatherbound gold embossed editions, please contact us artlibrary@walsall.gov.uk.

New Books in the Art Library

The catalogue for 53rd Venice Biennale Making Worlds has just arrived in the Art Library. It’s a beautiful 2 volume catalogue, which echos the structure of this year’s Bienniale. Definitely worth a look for those of you who can’t make it over (or couldn’t face lugging it around and paying an extra baggage charge!).

Other new arrivals include Unmonumental: The Object in the 21st Century, a survey of contmporary artists including John Bock, Rachel Harrison and Martin Boyce, and a collection of critical essays on sculpture; and Younger than Jesus: Artist Directory, another survey, but this time of a ‘new generation’ of artists, designed to look and feel like a yellow pages.
