"Polish artist Justine Otto (born 1974) depicts in oils a simultaneously seductive and disturbing world of girls and women. Her characters, wearing knowing expressions, engage in mysterious activities, operating machinery or lounging in interiors upon which the natural world of plants and animals seems to encroach. This catalogue collects works from the past four years."
"What was once, still is, and will forever remain is Jessica Backhaus's infallible instinct for pictorial composition, a deftness she continues to take to new heights. Her views of ostensibly prosaic scenes open up to us a cosmos of unforeseen meanings while evoking a mood of affectionate familiarity.Backhaus is regarded as one of the most distinguished voices in contemporary photography today. Her work is exhibited internationally and i ..."
"The ceramic figurines of Berlin artist Caro Suerkemper (born 1964) update seventeenth- and eighteenth-century porcelain art with their imagery of women in various states of undress. This volume records her installation of her figurines at the Historic Villa Metzler at the Frankfurt Museum for Applied Art."
"Since the early 1970s, Luigi Ontani (born 1943) has been building a corpus of works exploring ideas of the sacred and the profane, Occidental and Oriental, kitsch and high art. This volume provides an overview of his diverse activities, including his photographic portraits in which he impersonates Leonardo, Dante, Pinocchio or San Sebastian, ceramic and papier-mâché sculptures, paintings and video works."
"Swiss photographer Balthasar Burkhard (born 1944) makes large-format pictures that bring out the general contours of a repertoire of subjects--primarily bodies and landscapes (both urban and rural)--which are presented in dramatically stark black-and-white contrast to create an effect of extreme formal reduction and breathtaking scale. In his well-known portraits of the Alps, for example, he elicits both delicate detail and epic monumen ..."
"Justine Otto's [pictorial] world is populated with girls, women and animals. […] The metallic gleam that characterises her paintings turns the protagonists into beings for whom nothing, truly nothing, is unknown."
"Featuring established and emerging photographers including Thomas Ruff, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Beat Streuli, Thomas Struth, Nobuyoshi Araki, Anna and Bernhard Blume, Baltasar Burkhard, Günter Förg, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Martin Liebscher, Inge Rambow, and Jörg Sasse, "XL-Photography" presents the photography collection of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, assembled by Jean-Christophe Amman, Director of the Museum ..."
N.E. Thing Co. Companies Act (Volume 1) (BRICK PRESS) द्वारा Jean-ChristopheAmmann Paperback, 365 पन्ने, प्रकाशित 2020 द्वारा Distributed Art Pub Inc ISBN-13: 978-0-9948386-0-5, ISBN: 0-9948386-0-3
"Due to N.E. Thing Co.'s small runs, this work is particularly scarce. Originally published in an edition of 500, this facsimile second edition makes Companies Act accessible for the first time in over 40 years."
"German artist Cornelia Schleime’s (born 1953) most frequent subject is the female form, merging or coexisting with the kinds of animals one might expect to find in the European countryside--rabbits, deer, turtles and fish. Infused with a subtle eroticism, her paintings, drawings and watercolors exert a fascination that is amply conveyed in this monograph."
"Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist Anja Niedringhaus (born 1965) has spent more than 20 years documenting combat in locations around the world from the Balkans to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Israel. As one of the few women working in her field, she labors under extreme conditions with tremendous courage. At War shows a selection of Niedringhaus' most moving images."
""Phenomena in Space" documents the small-format watercolors of German painter Anke Röhrscheid (born 1965), whose semi-abstract images of gray, spectral, tendril-like forms suspended against black backgrounds connote both dreamy, erotic intimacy and powerful existential isolation."
""To make art, artists are like thieves, watching for a door left open. At the beginning of the 1960s, I painted a chair on a chair. I painted a chest of drawers on a chest of drawers. A hopeless entanglement of painting and sculpture. Is that what I was looking for? Minimal Art, Pop Art . . . artists learn from other artists but desperately want their art to be unique . . . But the categories happen. The sense that there is such a thing ..."
"The Italian-born painter Francesco Clemente came to prominence in the mid-1970s when intensely subjective yet universal themes filtered into his skewed self-portraiture, witty wordplay and gestural figuration. This volume compiles a decade's worth of works on paper from those early days, many of which were inspired by Italy's political crisis at the time or fellow artists Alighiero Boetti and Luigi Ontani. The Italian artists of the 197 ..."
"Being a young photographer, Sandra Mann decided to portray her own generation, or rather her generation’s nightlife. She captures the nightly scenes in clubs and discotheques not only through the lens of her camera, but as a member of the scene itself. The viewer is provided with intimate, sometimes erotic sights of artists, dancers, musicians, and well-known DJs/VJs. Apart from international underground celebrities, Mann also portrays ..."

In over fifty short essays, this compendium offers advice to a new generation of curators from veterans of contemporary art exhibitions who, over the past 25 years, have played a crucial role i ..."

"This is the first comprehensive publication on American photographer Jock Sturges (b.1947) compiled by the artist himself. It is nothing less than an ode to beauty. For more than 20 years, he has been taking photographs of girls growing up, both in his native California and at a nudist resort on the Atlantic coast of France. Nudity in Sturges' work has never been a cheap or tawdry gimmick, rather it is shown as human being's natural sta ..."
"Since the 1960's, the artist Sol LeWitt has been elaborating and extending the
notion of the Modernist grid in his ... in the significance of the artist's thought
process, rather than the artwork's physical appearance, as the basis for meaning.
