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