"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."
"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 ..."
"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."

Jock Sturges(1stEdition) द्वारा Jock Sturges, Jean-ChristopheAmmann Hardcover, 207 पन्ने, प्रकाशित 1996 द्वारा Scalo Museum Fur Moderne Kunst アダルト ISBN-13: 978-3-931141-30-1, ISBN: 3-931141-30-6
"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 ..."
"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."
"A recent spate of exhibitions and an upcoming retrospective have drawn increased attention to the Italian Arte Povera pioneer Alighiero Boetti (or, in his identity-suturing guise, Alighiero e ["and"] Boetti) (1940-1994). Perhaps Boetti's best-known works are the textile maps of the world that he commissioned from female weavers in Afghanistan and Pakistan, beginning in 1971. In these maps, every country appears in the color and design o ..."
"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 ..."
"In 2006, The New York Times' art critic Roberta Smith described Art Basel Miami as, " a decentralized sprawling mass of excitement and display, plus lots of disposable wealth. It is the art world's version of Mardi Gras." The Miami fair's more established European partner, Art Basel, has been described as "the Olympics of the art world," and "a modern art mecca" by The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal respectively. Add to thes ..."
"The work of Lucian Freud exemplifies the art-historical distinction between nudity and nakedness--instead of presenting the body as a stylized object for the viewer's consumption, Freud's intensely psychological portraits delve into the existential core of his subjects. Freud has always occupied a unique stance in the field of figurative painting, seeking a perfect realism that has less to do with creating an effective likeness than wit ..."
"This is a catalog of an exhibition organized to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the artist's first one-man show, and contains over 30 black and white and color plates and well as the articles: "Eric Fischl's View: To Whom Does it Belong" by Jean-Christophe Ammann; "Voyeurism, American-Style: Eric Fischl's Vision Of The Perverse" by Donald B.

"The oeuvre of Marlene Dumas is primarily characterized by her watercolors. Suggestive works, they appear to be based mostly on photographs from magazines which Dumas blurs, crops, or distorts. In doing so, the artist explores the sexualized dynamics between the picture, the painter, and the viewer. Her always openly sensual representations of human bodies and faces deal with some of the questions central to life. Wet Dreams features a b ..."
