In the 1960s, Andy Warhol was at the height of his success. It was during the period from 1962 to 1968 that he produced the pictures which, in a flash, revolutionized contemporary art and paved the way for pop art as the form of pictorial art most typical of the period and which, moreover, has subsequently retained its status as an icon of the consumer society and of the idolization quintessential to the worlds of media and advertizing. This book presents his most famous prints.

Edvard Weie (1879-1943) painted landscapes and figures in a abstract expressionist mode; he was a master of the watercolor medium. His drawings are poetic in nature. He studied with Cezanne in Southern France and one can see the cubistic influence in his work. The author, b. 1938 in Copenhagen, is a reknowned poet and painter.

This is the first time in its 10 year history that the Museum of Contemporary Art is featuring an exhibition dedicated exclusively to comics. The goal here is to highlight recent work from the 1990s, introducing a selection of new, upcoming artists. Contemporary Finnish comic strips portray small-scale scenes from everyday life, often reflecting on themes related to the human condition in the modern world. Today’s comics can be conceived as having a therapeutic role when we open our newspapers in the morning. This, precisely is what makes comics an artform that is accessible to everyone!

This exhibition catalogue shows photographs of installations almost always including a human and drawings of the conceptual artist Erwin Wurm from Vienna, Austria (b.1954). A certain dematerialization can be noted in his work over the last few years. There is a transition from the material sculptures of the early 1980s , in which he used materials from his carpenter shop such as wood or metal, to the instruction-based pieces of the second half of the 1990s. He pushed the envelope in order to expand his notions of sculpture, whilst increasingly bridging the gap between art and everyday life. He evokes the questions: ‘When does an object stop being an object? At what point does it become a performance?’
