"Lo(s) Cinetico(s)," published by Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, 2007, 280 pages, large softcover in thick wraps, 10.75" by 8.25". Text in Spanish, with English translation in rear, printed on mint green pages. Exemplary book on 20th-century kinetic and minimal art, produced for a major exhibition at the Reina Sofia in Madrid. The book locates the genesis of Kinetic art in the early 20th-century avant-garde experiments and photograms of Man Ray, Duchamp, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, followed by extensive coverage of the movement's post-World War II heyday. Very handsomely designed and printed, with over 150 color plates and period photos of work in painting, sculpture, installation art, and videography. Features an international roster of artists: Jean Tinguely, Bridget Riley, Keiji Kawashima, Gianni Colombo, Julio Le Parc, Antonio Asis, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Nicolas Schoffer, Pol Bury, and Lygia Clark, among others. Also includes two pamphlets reprinting a Vasarely manifesto originally published by one of the movement's key galleries, Denise Rene in Paris - one in French, the other printed in Spanish. Great book, most highly recommended. Long out of print and rare. In MINT condition, still sealed.
