MOCA Exhibition: R.H. Quaytman Morning Chapter 30 at MOCA October 16, 2016 - February 6, 2017.

For Texte zur Kunst, R. H. Quaytman has created an object that takes up the design of a book cover. Two motifs appear on the outside, one each on the front and the back; a single motif covers the entire inside. The title, “Point de Gaze, Chapter 23,” refers to the group of paintings the artist is currently working on, and designates a form of Belgian needle lace shown on the back cover. The front contains additional references to Belgium: the woman’s strange hat suggests ornate skull reliquaries created by Belgian Beguines in the fifteenth century. This allusion fits with the words “Sister Scholastic,” the name of a medieval mystic. The headdress returns on the inside, now concealing the head of a human being so that only a naked torso is visible. Scars beneath the breast suggest a sex change has been performed. An abstract vertical pattern also sections the figure. Above the photograph, a line of text quotes from the refrain of a song sung by the Edelweißpiraten, an antifascist resistance group in Nazi Germany. The elements of the collage, that is to say, superimpose different ideas about religious, political, and sexual convictions, weaving them into a subtle and highly associative fabric.

Robert Rauschenberg: Combines (hardcover)

By Bennett Simpson
This catalogue accompanied the exhibition Lisa Lapinski: The Fret and its Variants, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, June – August 2008.
Lisa Lapinski’s (b. 1967, Palo Alto, California) installations merge aesthetic vocabularies—Shaker, modern, and Saharan—with a playfully philosophical sensibility. Utilizing wood, found objects, and wallpaper, among other materials, her work adds questions of syntax, pattern, association, and language to sculpture’s traditional spatial and volumetric concerns. Lapinski received her master of fine arts degree from Art Center College of Design in 2000 and has shown in galleries in Los Angeles and Berlin. In 2006, her work was included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.
Hardcover, 60 pages Published by MOCA

Lisa Lapinski: The Fret And Its Variants (moca Focus Series)

Born in Calabria, Italy, in 1942, Anna Maria Maiolino is one of the leading artists of her generation. Her work reflects the major cultural and political realities of postwar Europe and South America as well as issues of patriarchy, feminism, and immigration. This book presents her prints, drawings, sculpture, photography, video, and performance pieces. From her early woodcuts, which spoke directly to the tense political atmosphere of her adopted country of Brazil, to her introspective works on paper—every aspect of Maiolino’s incredibly diverse and accomplished career is presented in exquisite illustrations and with a series of informed and provocative essays.
With contributions from Bryan Barcena, Briony Fer, S é rgio B. Martins, Anne M. Wagner
Hardcover with jacket, 192 pages, 23,5 x 28,5 cm, 200 color illustrations
Published on the occasion of Anna Maria Maiolino at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, August 4 - December 31, 2017.

This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Painting in Tongues, on view at MOCA January 29- April 17, 2006
This survey examines the work of seven international emerging artists who have embraced a novel and challenging approach to painting. By employing a varied mix of painterly styles, modes, sources, and materials, as well as working against a single recognizable “hand,” the featured artists have each crafted a complex and rich practice that offers innumerable avenues for exploration and growth. The artists—Kai Althoff, Gillian Carnegie, Mark Grotjahn, Lucy McKenzie, Rodney McMillian, Ivan Morley, and Anselm Reyle—are guided by a variety of individual motivations and conceptual frameworks rather than the outward appearances of their canvases.

Balloon Dog (Magenta) is a series of limited edition artworks by ©Jeff Koons, referencing his iconic, monumental sculpture of the same name from his highly acclaimed Celebration Series.  In 2015, with the generous support of ©Jeff Koons and Bernardaud, this limited edition plate launched and was exclusively available from MOCA.  All net proceeds benefit MOCA.
Born in 1955 in York, Pennsylvania, ©Jeff Koons is without question one the most important living artists. He is among the few who successfully extract the essentials from avant-gardism, most notably Pop Art.  In his hands even the most familiar, everyday items transcend commonality to become true icons that manifest the essence of American popular culture. " Balloon Dog is a very optimistic piece, its a balloon that a clown would have maybe twist for you at a birthday party.  But at the same time there's the profoundness of an archaic sculpture.  The piece has an interior life while the reflective exterior surface affirms the viewer through their reflection.  The porcelain only accentuates the sexuality of the piece.  For Balloon Dog (Orange), it's been a pleasure working with Bernardaud, who proudly work with only the finest materials, innovative processes, and artisan talent.  Their experience in porcelain dates back 150 years.  Since the creation of Balloon Dog (Red), Balloon Dog (Blue), Balloon Dog (Yellow) and Balloon Dog (Magenta), Balloon Dog (Orange), The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, has been involved in the distribution of the editions so I'm pleased to partner with MOCA to be supportive of their endeavors."  Jeff Koons
