"Swiss painter Johannes Hüppi (born 1965) depicts young girls in a variety of circumstances and genres--as nudes, as Pieta-style icons, as modern citizens bathed in the glow of the computer screen or bathing nude in the sea. This volume surveys his works of the past 25 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 ..."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This volume takes Franz Gertsch's new Four Seasons cycle, completed in 2011, as an occasion to look back on his paintings, prints and drawings of the past 30 years. One of Switzerland's leading contemporary artists, Gertsch is a virtuoso of hyperrealism, as his newest series demonstrates."
"In her new series Jessica Backhaus sets out a quest for traces of time and meaning—things that once were, still are, and will stay forever. Some photographs date from her last year in New York, where she had lived for fourteen years, others tell of her radical break with the past and her return to her homeland in Europe. The personal and cultural changes caused her to contemplate the fragility of our emotions and existence—thoughts the ..."
""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."
"This exhibition of works by the Italian artist made between 1965 and 1990 comes from a single-owner's collection. Featuring sixty works, the show charts Boetti's diverse practice that traversed various art movements from Arte Povera to Conceptualism and employed numerous media from embroidery to work carving. "

"Strik's book is a fluent stream of images and words in a strong connection to each other where the look inside and the outside happens simultaneously. The images continue within a long historic artistic line of visionary artists who probe the thresholds of human essence. Strik's intense, poetic practice explores the possibilities of metamorphosis and the process of (artistic) creation. In conversation with aspects from El Greco, Goya, D ..."
