Michael Petry's thought-provoking introduction begins with Jan van Eyck's famous Arnolfini portrait (1434), one of the first paintings to feature a significant mirror. Petry refers to important works by the great masters, from Diego Vel\u00e1zquez's The Rokeby Venus (1647-1651) to \u00c9douard Manet's complex painting A Bar at the Folies-Berg\u00e8re (1882) to Claude Cahun's Reflected Image in Mirror, Checked Jacket (1928), a groundbreaking picture for those who often turn their gaze on themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary practitioners are no less intrigued, revisiting historical concerns and approaches for contemporary conditions, and often working with modern technologies and materials. Petry presents the balloon sculptures of Jeff Koons, the stainless steel life-size trees of Subodh Gupta and the mirror architecture of Not Vital, and documents works that use real mirrors, including works by Gavin Turk and Alicja Kwade, and the large-scale, spectacular installations of Doug Aitken, Teresita Fern\u00e1ndez, Olafur Eliasson and Sarah Sze. There is a special focus on selfies and how the cell phone now functions as a modern mirror for the self.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nTitle: MirrorMirror: The Reflective Surface in Contemporary Art<br \/>\nAuthor: Michael Pentry<br \/>\nPublisher: <a href=\"\/en\/brands\/thames-hudson-books\">Thames &amp; Hudson<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 282 x 237 x 30<br \/>\nSize: 288 pages<br \/>\nWeight: 1710 grams<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nMaterial: Hardcover<br \/>\nISBN: 9780500026205<br \/>\nPublished: February 2025<\/p>\n<p><em>View our extensive range of luxury\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koffietafelboeken.nl\/en\/art-books\">art books<\/a>\u00a0of the world's most famous old and new masters; from Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Vermeer, Warhol, KAWS, Hockney, Basquiat and many others.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Van de kunst van Cindy Sherman tot Anish Kapoor, van Yayoi Kusama tot Tracey Emin, het koffietafelboek &#8216;MirrorMirror&#8217; van Michael Pentry presenteert een intrigerend en prachtig ge\u00efllustreerd wereldwijd overzicht van \u201creflecterend\u201d werk van meer dan 150 kunstenaars uit verschillende media, nationaliteiten, geslachten en locaties.
