Anyone on Veeky Forums interested in art books? Taschen is basically the only reason have a physical bookshelf anymore

I want their Yohji book, but I'm not sure how I feel about the pink spine

mostly Florentine Renaissance painters (Botticelli , etc) some general architecture ones, and a few photography and Rick Owens type fashion books

>buying non-theory art books
thats like the most middlebrow thing there is

This is now a

>What Taschen books do you own?

thread.

rec some theory books m8.

pic related, dadaism, minimalism and a-z pf industrial design

>not knowing what the term "art book" means a genre
it's a pity you're never going to buy debord's memoires, because you really deserve that on your shelves.

i'd just throw it through a window anyway

Do they have a book with Romantic art or with Bosch's art?

debord would be proud.

Never mind I see they do.

>they think reading les situationistes et les lettristes in anything but french is gonna give them any insight about what they were saying

oh là là

>he thinks imagist bauhaus and the london psychogeographical society weren't the first people debord invited to alba
must suck to be dumber than a danish

>must suck to be dumber than a danish

i thought asger jorn was pretty smart

how about viennoise then?
tfw no one gets your epic puns even in english

the staple: art since 1900
anything greenberg (avant garde and kitsch is a must)
art history vs aesthetics
against interpretation by sontag
painting as model by yve alain-bois
anything rosalind krauss
relational aesthetics by bourriard
winckelmann, wollflin, panofksy, hauser, tj clark, warburg, didi-huberman etc

>no foster
uwot

yea, should be a given after reading art since 1900. just read anything by the octoberists tbqhwy

>comparing foster to the octoberists
>listing sontag tho
kek

>what is variety

if you were trying for less than a surface understanding of art history, you succeeded, but that is not synonymous with variety.

sure. i'm glad i'm out of grad school, so many fuckers like you, jesus.

you compared hal foster to the octoberists, you deserve to be shat on from a great height. you also thought "art books"="art theory books". i hope it wasn't an art/design/art history grad program, because if it was you should be demanding all your money back and suing your undergrad school too.

>no one gets your epic puns

a pun is not a pun if it isnt shared.

imo, Hatje Cantz is the best publishing house specializing in art books

HAL FUCKING FOSTER
HITO STEYERL

You can easily torrent every Taschen book in existence. I would guess the force majeure behind owning them is to showcase that you pay attention to _______, and trendiness of course.

Where do you reckon? Checked a lot of the normal places.

I got the Phaidon one on Bosch. Picture quality is ok, though in a smaller format then Taschen. Not an expert in the area at all but I enjoyed Laurinda Dixon's write up.

Not him but Rutracker has a 10gb torrent. Only goes up to 2013 though, I don't think it has everything before it either but it's a start.

some of mine

Ya I forgot to check through that.
Also, does anyone know where I can find japanese fashion mags?

Cold war cuba was a cool place.
