"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 ..."

""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 ..."

"In 1958, on a visit to Iceland, Dieter Roth met the Swiss goldsmith Hans Langenbacher, and the two soon agreed to collaborate. Roth came up with the brilliant idea of devising rings with exchangeable parts--a variety of brightly-colored corkscrew-like attachments to the ring's main body--which Roth then housed in containers such as old pipes or wooden boxes. This gem of a volume reproduces Roth's rings alongside sketches, photos and a l ..."
"The Swiss artist Manon has been a pioneer of female body and performance art since the 1970s. From the beginning of her career, her work addressed the construction of sexual, gender, and identity stereotypes long before it became widely accepted or fashionable to do so. ManonâA Person is the first comprehensive study of this groundbreaking contemporary artist, featuring the entire range of her work, from the first fetish images and in ..."

The book highlights masterworks from the Whitney's Permanent Col ..."

"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 ..."

"Now in paperback, this volume presents an overview of the legendary Canadian collective. Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that “freed it from the tyranny of individual genius.” Their intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a transgressive, often parodic take on art and society. Paintings, installations, sculptures, photographs, videos, magazines and ..."
