"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."
"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 ..."
"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."
"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."
"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."
""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 ..."

"This second part of the cataloge of the work of Boetti, an artist who, to begin with, associated himself with the Arte Povera movement, looks at the crucial period when his work took the form of conceptual poetry."
"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 ..."
"Ellen Auerbach is a remarkable New York artist, honored in 1998 (at the age of 92) with an important exhibit of her photographs at Berlin's prestigious Academie der Kunst. Ellen Auerbach: Berlin, Tel Aviv, London, New York, the exhibition catalog, traces her trajectory through the century with photos she took between 1929 and 1965. Some of her early images (created with studio partner Grete Stern) have a surrealist tinge. In 1933, Aub ..."

"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 ..."
"Buch mit Leinen-EinbandIhre Fotos kennt man, ohne es zu wissen. Sie erscheinen weltweit auf den Titelseiten von Tageszeitungen und Zeitschriften und prägen tagtäglich unser Bild von Krisen und Kriegen. Mit eindringlicher Schonungslosigkeit dokumentiert Anja Niedringhaus (*1965 in Höxter, Westfalen) seit über 20 Jahren das Leid und Elend - unter anderem in Kroatien, Serbien, Irak, Afghanistan, Libyen oder Israel. Als eine der wenigen Fra ..."
"The young Leipzig painter Matthias Weischer, born in 1973, depicts suburban interiors that can appear at once pleasantly furnished and ominously vacated. Abstract patterns in wallpaper or carpet suggest households that have been lovingly attended to, but Weischer invests this decor with an oddly noisy insistence, so that its sheer "effect" invades any space a human presence might occupy. Often an entire ceiling or a part of a wall is om ..."
"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."

As Olbricht writes in the epilogue, 'Collecting art, for me, is an elixir of l ..."
"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 ..."
