BASELITZ / SCHÖNEBECK: 1962-66
essays by Richard Shiff, Stephanie Biron, foreword by Max Hollein
Size 24 × 28 cm
edited by Cornelius Tittel. Texts by Georg Baselitz, Per Kirkeby, Michael Semff, Reiner Michael Mason, Frode Sandvik
The first comprehensive survey of Baselitz’s printmaking
Celebrating six decades of print making, A Life in Print is the first comprehensive book on an important part of Georg Baselitz’ artistic practice. Considered to be one of the greatest painters alive and credited to have revived Figuration in a time when Abstraction ruled the art world, the German artist started to explore different print techniques beginning in 1964, and never stopped to see them as an integral part of his work. While his contemporaries used new offset and screenprint techniques to create what amounted to reproductions in often high editions, Baselitz rejected the Zeitgeist and explored century old techniques like drypoint etchings, aquatinta, wood– and linocuts, while tirelessly pushing his own artistic limits. A Life in Print brings together more than 245 prints and will introduce the reader to all major themes and motives of Baselitz career, from the so-called Heroes of the mid-60ies to his iconic images of Eagles to the manyfold portraits of his wife Elke. Edited by Cornelius Tittel in close collaboration with the Baselitz Archive in Munich, the book will forcefully make the point that no other artist since Picasso has done more for and in that genre than Baselitz.
• The first book to fully explore six decades of Georg Baselitz’s groundbreaking print work.
• Published in close collaboration with the Baselitz Archive, the volume is both a visual celebration and a scholarly resource.
Cornelius Tittel is the editor of the Berlin based art magazine BLAU international. Frode Sandvik is a curator of modern art at Kode Art Museum in Bergen and a Phd affiliate at the University of Oslo. Per Kirkeby (1938-2018) was a Danish painter, poet, film maker and sculptor.

L’Estampe originale portfolio revisited in landmark Catalogue raisonné
L’Estampe originale graphics portfolio, published in France during the mid 1890s, is widely regarded as one of the greatest collaborations in the history of printmaking. The portfolio features ninety-five works of art by seventy-four influential French, Swiss, Belgian, English and American artists. The visionary Parisian publisher André Marty issued and distributed nine quarterly installments of L’Estampe originale from March 1893 to March 1895 in a limited edition of one hundred. The first eight folios each consisted of ten prints of varying sizes, paper, and media, loose in paper wrappers; the final ninth installment included fourteen prints. In addition to the artist’s pencil or ink signature and an edition number, a unique blind stamp designed by Alexandre Charpentier was embossed on each print. This revised and full color publication of L’Estampe originale. A Catalogue Raisonné highlights the importance of color lithography during the last decade of the nineteenth century. The book includes an enlightening essay based on hundreds of mostly unpublished handwritten original and facsimile letters from the artists and from Marty’s collaborators; these are preserved at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. This vast chorus of voices allows the reader to eavesdrop directly on the past and reveals rich details of the life and working methods of André Marty— an ambitious cultural insider and artist, art historian, critic, editor, prominent and discerning publisher, private dealer and entrepreneur.
• First documentation in full color of this extremely rare portfolio and updated catalogue raisonné for L’Estampe originale, including the latest bibliographical references.
Donna Stein, an art historian and curator, has organized exhibitions in all media, primarily on nineteenth and twentieth century art. Stuart Denenberg is an art dealer, collector, and poet.

An impressive, emotional tribute to humankind by the leading photographer
“A life behind the camera, dedicated to my craft of photography. I live under the notion, ‘If my portraits are not moving you emotionally in some way, a feeling of empathy, confusion, surprise, joy, fear, or just a gut wrenching feeling of awkwardness, then I haven’t done my work as a portrait artist.’
On Earth As It Isn’t In Heaven is my tribute to humankind from birth to death. These portraits are of real people, celebrities, and athletes of every culture, race and gender – all of which are experiencing life as it has been dealt to them. In our journeys from birth to death we will all struggle and will all suffer, and the moments in between may be joy, excitement and even orgasmic. These images are caught at 125th of a second document and provide evidence of one’s journey through life; they are little secrets about a secret. You will find I reveal as much as I don’t reveal and, in the portrait, the more it tells the less you will know. Welcome to a book that I have sunk my heart, soul, blood and tears into. These portraits were not made for me, and they were not made for my sitters, these portraits were created for you, the viewer. To help you feel deeper the joys, the struggles and everything else we feel during that short time we call a life.” –Sandro Miller

A
homage to a pioneering figure in Korean contemporary art
Park Seo-Bo (1931-2023), a Korean painter and a master of Dansaekhwa, is a key figure in the history of Korean contemporary art. He was born in 1931, during a time when Korea was enduring the historical turmoil of imperial rule, and came of age amid the devastation of the Korean War. The prolonged hardships of this era dismantled the nation’s social and cultural foundations and from what felt like awasteland, Park rose—through fierce determination—to become an internationally acclaimed artist.
This book presents two distinct perspectives on his life. One is an unfiltered autobiography drawn from Park’s own meticulous records going back to his birth and up to the late ’70s. The other offers an external view, illuminating the passionate story of the artist’s entire life through a graphic novel, designed to be accessible and engaging to a wide range of readers. Through this two-volume set, readers can gain both deep and enjoyable understanding of Park Seo-Bo’s life and his artistic philosophy.
• Two perspectives on the life of Park Seo-Bo.
• An artistic record for all ranges of readership, encompassing the professional and the general art lovers, and viewers of all ages.
Park Seungho is the second son of Park Seo-Bo and the inspiration behind the Ecriture series. A longtime professor at Ewha Womans University, he has devoted his career to education. As the chairman of PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION, he now preserves and carries on his father’s legacy while supporting the future of Korean contemporary art through various initiatives. Cho Jinho, the author of the graphic novel, has published several graphic novels on scientific themes, earning acclaim from scholars, critics, and readers alike.

A landmark survey of a Pop Surrealist icon, on the occasion of his first museum show in China
Spanning decades of Scharf’s work, Emotional examines the artist’s playful yet meticulous exploration of emotions through a vivid iconography. It features more than 120 multi-disciplinary artworks, including Kenny Scharf’s Beach Club, an installation that transports everyone into the artist’s California beachside utopia. Published on the occasion of Scharf’s largest solo exhibition to date, the book showcases Kenny Scharf’s pioneering street art aesthetic and distinctive visual language. Featuring exaggerated faces and expressive forms, his work connects ancient pictographic languages and modern emoji culture. Long before emojis emerged to fill the emotional gap in digital communication, Scharf developed a visual language that captured the complexities of humanity’s relationship with expression and feeling. As the curator Shai Baitel says, “Kenny Scharf is a giant whose art and influence cannot be overstated. He is one of the most distinctive artists today, having started alongside Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.” The publication features paintings, sculptures and other objects organized into groups of emotions: Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Sadness and Awe.
• An original glimpse into emotional expression through art history, focusing on Scharf’s approach to this part of human nature.
• The most comprehensive book of Kenny Scharf’s career to date offering readers a transportive experience into his artistic world.
• Published in collaboration with Almine Rech Gallery, Opera Gallery and TOTAH Gallery.

The colourful monumental paintings of the CubanAmerican contemporary artist
The publication is an expansive monograph celebrating the remarkable four-decade career of Cuban American artist José Parlá (b. 1973). This first midcareer publication coincides with major milestones, including solo exhibitions in Miami and Tokyo—“Homecoming” at the Pérez Art Museum Miami and “Home Away from Home” at the Pola Museum in Tokyo. The volume traces Parlá’s evolution from his early days of wall markings in Miami to his international acclaim, showcasing his innovative blend of gestural abstraction, calligraphy, and urban textures that have redefined contemporary painting.
Spanning from 1985 to 2025, the richly illustrated book features paintings, murals, rare sketchbooks, and archival materials. It also includes essays by curators Jonathan Rider and Iván de la Nuez, alongside an intimate interview with Rey Parlá, his brother and creative collaborator. Central to the narrative is Parlá’s profound reflection on his near-death experience with COVID-19, which deepens his exploration of home as a mosaic of memories and displacement. Celebrating his role as a cultural bridge, the monograph underscores his connections to a global community of friendships, travels, and collaborations. Parlá emerges as a poetic chronicler of surfaces, textures, and resilience—an artist whose work captures the luminous paths of exploration and belonging.

The first comprehensive book about Chanakya and its journey through art, couture and cultural innovation
This book is the first comprehensive publication on Chanakya, tracing its four-decade legacy of craftsmanship and its enduring collaborations across art and couture. Growing from its own collections, this book situates Chanakya’s pivotal role of how Indian heritage skills have elevated the value of embroidery-based collaborations, prising open critical discourses of textiles, fashion and art. It highlights Chanakya’s role which isn’t limited to just preservation of traditional embroidery, instead engages a critical inquiry into material and methodology, intuitively charting a cross-cultural global discourse. Under the direction of Karishma Swali, Creative Director of Chanakya, the artistic practice is conceived as an archive of cultural ethos, where materials and motifs are reimagined as metaphors, shaping a contemporary and discursive visual language. Not just a cultural preservation and revival but a cultural expansion and evolution into newer collaborative forms of artistic expression, has been the effort of Chanakya which the book will accentuate.
• The books brings together leading scholars and curators in the multiple fields of art and textile history, combining interviews and encounters with the artisans.

The 15-year journey of Fashion4Development, a movement that celebrates the power of fashion to transcend boundaries, bridge cultures, and inspire creativity
This book chronicles the transformative 15-year journey of Fashion4Development (F4D), a pioneering initiative founded by Evie Evangelou that redefined the intersection of fashion, diplomacy, sustainability, and global empowerment. At the heart of this narrative is The First Ladies Luncheon, F4D’s iconic annual event held during the UN General Assembly in New York City, where world leaders, humanitarians, and visionaries converge to celebrate fashion as a force for good. Through exclusive interviews, personal stories, and archival images, Fashion4Development traces the evolution of the organization from a bold concept to a powerful global platform that aligns fashion with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each chapter delves into a different dimension of F4D’s impact from elevating indigenous artisanship and fostering ethical supply chains to creating cross-cultural partnerships that uplift women, preserve culture, our environment and communities across continents.
The book also explores the visionary work of Moda Cares, F4D’s Foundation, spotlighting humanitarian projects and frontline initiatives that blend beauty with purpose. In a world where the fashion industry often oscillates between extravagance and exploitation, this is a story of reclamation of a movement to return fashion to its highest calling: as a language of dignity, progress, and unity.
• With the foreword written by Ban Ki-moon, this book is both a retrospective and a roadmap. It is a celebration of fashion’s potential not only to reflect the world, but to rebuild it.
Stephanie Dillon is an artist, writer, and cultural provocateur. A member of Rolling Stone Culture Council and Forbes Council, she blends activism, art, and storytelling. Writer of Fashion4Development, she explores fashion as diplomacy—where beauty meets purpose, and style becomes a strategy for global change.

The third volume in the series dedicated to the multifaceted figure of Hildegard von Bingen, following the success of A Journey into the Images and In the Heart of God
It is the year 1170 when Hildegard, now elderly, embarks on her final journey to recount what she has seen and heard. It a prophetic time when the written word takes form, resonating in great cathedrals, and the Vision becomes the painted word.
A journey into the images visually narrates the way that leads to the heart of God, in the great sphere of creation. The living fountain of wisdom is imprinted in images and numbers, in shapes, colors, sounds, and in the movement of the stars. It sings the wonder of the divine order, imitating the creative act of composing an image by “first drawing it with a compass and only later painting it with colours”.
The richly illustrated volume combines the original format reproductions of the images of the two Hildegard codices with new images, never seen before, hidden within the miniatures. The work, divided into three parts, shows the story of the journey through the cosmos through the sphere of creation until it reaches the sphere of the soul; in the second part, the process of writing and composing hidden images; in the third part, the sapiential code used for the construction of the work and images thanks to the arts of quadrivium, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy.
• This book invites the reader on a visionary journey inspired by Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century mystic, artist, and prophet.
• In her final years, Hildegard entrusted her spiritual insights not only to written words but to painted images, luminous visions where divine wisdom flows through form, colour, sound, and symbol.
Sara Salvadori, a scholar and musician, has given life to a seminal research approach making the visionary work of Hildegard von Bingen accessible. This volume completes the trilogy begun with the two works already published by Skira, A journey into the images (2019) and In the heart of God (2022).

The first comprehensive international monograph on the renowned Chinese contemporary artist
This first international monograph on Chinese artist Chen Xi accompanies her debut solo exhibition in Europe at MUSEC, Lugano. Structured in nine sections, the publication traces her evolution from the 1990s to today, each chapter reflecting a key solo exhibition in her career.
Known for her deeply personal yet socially engaged work, Chen Xi explores the human condition through painting, installation, and conceptual expression—without aligning explicitly with feminist art discourse.
As Lü Peng writes in his foreword, Chen Xi’s work revolves around memory, vulnerability, and identity in an era of rapid change. Her recurring motif of the rabbit—a figure born from literary influence and psychological reflection—embodies the tension between fragility and resilience. From the expressive canvases of her early years to the installation Lost, a monumental wooden sculpture created after the Covid-19 pandemic, Chen Xi continually interrogates the role of the individual within shifting cultural, historical, and technological landscapes.
Combining academic technique with conceptual depth, her practice reflects the broader transformation of Chinese society since the Reform era. This monograph offers a rare window into Chen Xi’s singular voice and visual language—one that captures, with nuance and intensity, the evolving spirit of contemporary China.
• The first in-depth international monograph on Chen Xi, offering an essential resource for understanding one of China’s most compelling contemporary artists.
• Through detailed essays and rich imagery, the monograph situates Chen Xi’s work within the broader transformation of Chinese society.

Observance is about thirty years of carving monumental sculpture in the landscape. Originally trained as a figure carver in marble, Mark Mennin’s scope grew beyond the figure into the landscape over thirty years ago, carving a large granite wall in the south of France. He became comfortable with the enlarged scale and the more durable material, while always keeping in mind the proportions of the figure in the context of Nature. As with most of Mennin’s titles, Observance has two meanings that include the action of noticing or watching as well as the practice of fulfilling or respecting a ritual. It is a projection of his belief that one needs to know the rules of carving well before breaking them. His approaches to carving a very unforgiving material are both traditional and innovative using hand tools as well as fire, water and machine. His collaborations with the Landscape are often of enormous scale yet respectful of the environs. The physical approach and process demonstrates a sacrifice and reverence toward his contexts that celebrate labor and humanity. The human intervention by the sculptor himself is always present.
• The book features statements by Ursula Von Rydingsvard, Raymond Jungles, Alexis Rockman, Dorothy Spears, Peter Drake, Vincent Desiderio, Benjamin Nickoll, William Tucker, Richard Olcott.
• Mennin’s artistic journey spans continents, from his early work in Italy to exhibitions in Paris and commissions across the U.S., reflecting a rich international influence in his practice.
• His work appears in numerous private and public collections, including Laumeier Sculpture Park, Grounds for Sculpture, and Stanford University Law School, Penn State University.

The first publication of the paintings by the American contemporary artist
The book is the first publication of the contemporary American artist’s paintings. It represents a compendium of the multiple modes of painting the artist utilises, following the numerous paths and approaches he has utilised over the course of the many years of his studio practice. The works depicted in this catalogue are concentrated in the 21st century, though Stillman has been painting privately since the 1980’s. This represents the first publication of any of his paintings, which he did not even agree to show publicly until 2023.
A graduate of MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning, Stillman built a successful career in real estate while painting privately. His art is a combination of ambiguity, exuberance, balance, and harmony all in service to his central, and optimistic, beliefs about the human condition. His paintings are compositions of rich color, often in abstracted grounds and spaces that evoke deep emotional responses. Stillman’s love for painting is pure and abiding. It is driven by a compulsion to create and a desire to offer joy as a counter to suffering, and his reveling in the medium that has a long history of seeking to repair a fractured world. As Stillman himself says, “When I’m doing my best work, it feels like it’s coming through me, instead of from me.”
• First-ever publication on the pictorial work of Abbott Stillman.

The work of the Norwegian contemporary artist, known for blending traditional painting techniques with innovative materials and tools, creating works that explore the intersection of classical art and modern visual culture
The book is the first English monograph dedicated to Steinar Jakobsen (b. 1967), one of Norway’s most prominent artists.
Steinar Jakobsen graduated from the Oslo School of Drawing and Painting (19861988) and the National Academy of Fine Arts (1989-1993). Since his first solo exhibition at Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall in Arendal in 1996, Jakobsen contaminated traditional painting with a wide range of different techniques and materials, like aluminum and Plexiglas. He uses tools like sponges, cotton swabs, spray guns, and projectors to create both impressionistic and photorealistic works.
Jakobsen’s works often merge different genres and visual references, drawing on both fine art and broader visual culture. His motifs are usually based on snapshots he has taken himself, and he is inspired by classical painters like Velázquez and Vermeer, as well as by pop culture and postmodern artists such as Gerhard Richter.
• First English monograph on Steinar Jakobsen, recognized as an important figure in contemporary Norwegian art, with his works resonating internationally.
• His innovative use of materials and blending of traditional and modern techniques places him at the forefront of artistic exploration.
• His works are part of prominent collections and have been exhibited in key galleries, positioning him as a significant voice in both Norwegian and international art scenes.
Arve Rød is one of Norway’s most established contemporary art critics. Mikkel Bogh was the Director of SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark, and he currently is Professor and Head of Center for Practice-based Art Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Catherine Townsend is a journalist, licensed private investigator, and creator and host of the true crime podcasts Hell and Gone and Hell and Gone: Murder Line.

More than five decades of the diverse and distinctive practice of the UK-based South African painter and printmaker
Through over 100 prints, drawings, and paintings, as well as archival material, the publication celebrates Gavin Jantjes (1948) as a significant artist, and critical agent of change, while tracing his development as a painter, printmaker, writer, curator and anti-apartheid activist. Structured into chapters spanning the 1970s to the present, Gavin Jantjes: To be Free! A Retrospective 1970 - 2023 focuses on pivotal phases in the artist’s life, from his formative years in Cape Town, South Africa during the early years of apartheid regime (1948–1994), his transformative role at art institutions in the UK, Germany and Norway, his compelling figurative portrayals of the global Black struggle for freedom, to his recent transition to non-figurative painting. Jantjes’ journey embodies a quest for artistic emancipation, marked by a search for an autonomous form, freed from Eurocentric traditions and the limited expectations of Black creativity.
The book also focuses on Jantjes’ influence on the cultural landscape of London. His anti-apartheid print series A South African Colouring Book was shown at the ICA in 1976, and his role as both exhibiting artist and co-curator in the ground-breaking 1986 Whitechapel Gallery exhibition From Two Worlds cemented his position as a major voice in the UK’s arts scene.
• The book offers a rare overview of Jantjes’ influential career and his leading role in shaping discourse around representation of Africa and its diasporas.
• Organized by the Sharjah Art Foundation in collaboration with The Africa Institute.

An essential publication on Haegue Yang’s work
Over the past three decades, Haegue Yang (born 1971, Seoul, South Korea) has developed a prolific and hybrid body of work that folds quotidian objects and folk traditions into the canon of modern and contemporary sculpture-making. Informed by in-depth exploration into vernacular techniques and related customs and rituals, along with her continual movement through disparate cultures, Yang’s work is both homage to and critique of the modernist project toward singular Western domination. Lost Lands and Sunken Fields documents Yang’s 2025 solo exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center, which occupied two levels of the museum’s galleries and gardens and debuted two new bodies of work that represent a significant turn in the artist’s sculptural production. This catalogue includes extensive photo documentation of the exhibition, along with essays by Nasher curator, Leigh Arnold, and scholars and curators Tom McDonough and Yasmil Raymond. Also included within Lost Lands and Sunken Fields is a floorplan of the exhibition and an illustrated list of exhibited works.
• An insightful analysis into Yang’s sculptural language and global influences.
• An essential resource for curators, researchers and contemporary art lovers, the book documents Haegue Yang’s 2025 solo exhibition, showcasing the evolution of her sculptural practice.
Leigh Arnold is Curator at the Nasher Sculpture Center. A scholar of Land art, Minimal and Post-Minimal sculpture, Arnold’s curatorial focus at the Nasher expands to contemporary art and tends to foreground artists whose practice subverts or broadens traditional understandings of sculpture. Tom McDonough, author and editor of several books on postwar art, is Professor of Art History at Binghamton University, State University of New York. Yasmil Raymond is curator and co-curator of several retrospectives.

Xavier Mascaró: where timeless legends meet modern sculpture
This monograph devoted to Xavier Mascaró (1965) presents the work of this Spanish artist fascinated by myths and legends. He draws on archaic iconography –heads, masks, boats, human and animal forms – to give substance to the contradictions of the human soul. His work resonates with the heritage of pre-Columbian art, which he reinvents with power and poetry.
Xavier Mascaró sublimates iron, an ancestral material to which he breathes new energy. Since 2004, he has extended his work to glass, wood, pewter, stone and ceramics.
Over the last ten years, his installations of monumental works of art have become emblematic and are regularly exhibited in public spaces and galleries around the world, from the Santo Domingo convent in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, to the Warehouse421 in Abu Dhabi, and even the Paseo del Prado in Madrid and the Palais Royal in Paris.
His work has also been the subject of more than 50 solo exhibitions in galleries in New York, Mexico City, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Paris, London, Düsseldorf, Beirut and Dubai. He has taken part in more than 150 group exhibitions as well.
• This monograph explores how Xavier Mascaró blends ancient mythologies and modern artistic vision, using archaic symbols like masks, boats, and totemic forms to reflect the complexities of the human condition.
• Mascaró redefines traditional media through poetic and innovative approaches.
• Mascaró has exhibited widely across the world, with over 50 solo shows and participation in more than 150 group exhibitions.

Jean Mus, Mediterranean landscape gardener, poet of plants and lover of nature, has designed more than 15.000 gardens around the world, from Provence to California. A spiritual heir to Le Nôtre, Ferdinand Bac and Russell Page, he combines rigour, sensuality and naturalness. A patient surveyor, he creates landscapes that respect the genius of the place, the light, the wind and the local species. His gardens combine curving lines, water features, endemic vegetation and harmony of the five senses. Both rooted in tradition and subtly modern, they offer a breath of fresh air in the face of urbanisation.
Each creation celebrates life, beauty, freshness and shade, while telling a story. Mus does not seek to impose his hand, but to reveal nature. For him, a garden is a refuge, a place to share and to marvel. His style, discreet and sensual, enchants and connects man to the earth, with a thoughtful and poetic simplicity.
This book, which retraces the last ten years of the landscape artist’s creative work, is a celebration of the beauty of the world and the joy of living.
• This book offers a rare and intimate look at Jean Mus’ most recent ten years of work.
• More than a design book, this is a celebration of Mus’ philosophy.

Dan Murray Basen (1939-1970) was a captivating and largely overlooked artist of the 1960s downtown Manhattan scene. Though long neglected by art history, he left a lasting impression on those who knew him, friends, lovers, and fellow artists alike. He helped introduce Allan Kaprow’s Happenings to Baltimore, blurred the line between Pop art and Nouveau Réalisme, and exhibited alongside icons like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. Yet he resisted easy classification, critiquing commercial Pop, dabbling in folk art, surrealist film, performance, and assemblage.
This monograph is the first academic art historical treatment of Dan Basen, the result of two years of research drawing on letters, diaries, archival footage, interviews, and long-lost ephemera. From gallery shows to philosophical musings, from queer eroticism to Dadaesque provocations, Basen’s work reveals a complex artist who bridged genres with visionary intensity and often, self-destruction. Dan Basen’s refusal to conform may explain his marginalization. Yet his art was collected by major figures like the Rockefellers and displayed in key institutions. With renewed scholarly interest in outsider and folk traditions, Basen’s legacy, marked by raw experimentation and fierce independence, deserves a rightful place in the broader narrative of postwar American art.

The first complete monograph on the Italian artist and her original and visionary realism
This book is the first indepth publication devoted to the work of Francesca Tulli (1956-2024). Francesca Tulli’s paintings and sculptures have developed as parallel practices, linked by her personal interpretation of a complex and perceptive realism, balanced between the naturalistic and the surreal. Her paintings, in black-andwhite or in bold colour, often depict lush domestic interiors which are seemingly comfortable, yet due to their tilted perspectives and unusual viewpoints, become strangely unsettling. Her final canvases show patterned rugs which appear to be moved by subterranean forces or mysteriously sucked into vortexes. In her sculptures, the artist’s sinuous figures are posed in dynamic equilibrium, sometimes existing as athletes or “mutated” creatures. Made from bronze, terracotta or plaster, her figures shift between classical and futuristic, integrated with different materials including rusty steel, photographs, sand, glass spheres and led-lights. Tulli’s figures are beings which are simultaneously familiar and other-worldly.
• Tulli’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including at the Italian Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale (2011) and Casa Italia during the Beijing Olympic Games (2008).
• The book documents Tulli’s intertwined bodies of work (painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video and installation), offering insight into her evolving themes of transformation, identity and the human condition.
Working as a curator and art critic for more than 35 years, Jonathan Turner has organized almost 400 solo shows, group exhibitions and biennale events in museums and art galleries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America, publishing numerous catalogues, books and monographs. Working with Francesca Tulli since the mid-1990s, Turner conceived and edited this unconventional monograph in close collaboration with the artist before her death in 2024.

The catalogue of the first permanent museum on oil provides a narration of the history of oil in human life
Since its discovery and commercial exploitation in the late 1850s, oil has been the commodity that has received the most attention worldwide. This is primarily due to its key role in economic, political, and social development, thereby shaping numerous societies and states’ destinies, structures, and interrelations. Its chemical properties, technical and economic implications, versatility, and easy transportation and storage have all made it an integral part of people’s lives and a key component of energy balances since the beginning of the 20th century. Various aspects of life are all innovations of the Age of Oil. Owing to its uses and the intricate web of connections it establishes between producers and consumers, in times of peace and war, stability and unrest, oil has been labeled a “strategic commodity” and called “black gold.” Published to celebrate the inauguration of the Black Gold Museum in Riyadh, the catalogue tells the story of the unique relationship that was formed between man and oil through an innovative artistic journey to review the formations of oil from its crude state to all its amazing branches and dimensions.

The Art of Oil in the works of BP group for the Black Gold Museum’s inaugural
exhibition
For its inaugural exhibition, the Black Gold Museum has partnered with curator Christian Janicot in an experiential exhibition on the material nature of petroleum through selected works of the French artist collective BP. Over the last four decades, BP has associated the fetishizing of modern art with the worship of commercial gods in response to the tutelary power of oil. The shifting nature of the dialogue between past and future continues to provide Renaud Layrac – who has continued the collective’s legacy since 2008 – with ever-shifting approaches and reactions to petroleum products and industry. This catalogue conceptualizes and contextualizes discourses on the shifting nature of this vital and world-changing material. Founded in the early 1980s, BP is a French artist collective formed by Renaud Layrac, Frédéric Pohl, and Richard Bellon. The group emerged spontaneously after discovering British Petroleum stickers, which they adopted as their signature. Since then, BP has focused exclusively on the petroleum world, creating installations using industrial objects such as barrels, gas pumps, and automotive materials. Their work explores themes of appropriation, reuse, and environmental critique, often incorporating used oil as a medium. BP’s distinctive practice challenges the aesthetics and ethics of fossil fuel culture through subversive, site-specific interventions rooted in material transformation.
• The catalogue for the inaugural exhibition of the first museum dedicated to the Black Gold.
• Exploring the intersection of petroleum, society, and art, the exhibition catalogue critically examines the essential yet complex role of oil in contemporary life.

The catalogue of the renewed Al Ain Museum and of its rich and vital collection
Al Ain Museum stands as a profound testament to the rich cultural heritage and historical identity of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates, serving as both a guardian and storyteller of the region’s ancient past. Situated in the verdant oasis city of Al Ain, within the emirate of Abu Dhabi, this museum occupies a unique place in the urban fabric of the UAE – a country that has witnessed rapid modernisation and urban growth while remaining deeply rooted in its traditions. The oldest in the UAE, Al Ain Museum was founded in 1969 under the guidance of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Father of the Nation, out of a visionary desire to preserve, protect and celebrate the Emirates’ heritage and the deep-rooted history of the region. As an archaeological and ethnographic museum, Al Ain Museum uniquely showcases artifacts from various periods – including the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Islamic eras – providing invaluable insights into the daily lives, trade, craftsmanship and beliefs of the region’s early inhabitants. Its collections emphasize the connection between human settlement, natural environment and cultural evolution, highlighting the oasis’ vital role in sustaining life in an otherwise harsh desert landscape.
This publication aims to guide readers through the stories and significance of the collection of the Al Ain Museum, inviting all to appreciate the rich tapestry of heritage that Al Ain represents within Abu Dhabi and the UAE at large.
• The book presents the Museum’s collection (Ceramics; Metals; Organic; Mixed materials) spanning thousands of years, from the Neolithic period (circa 8000 BCE) through to the Iron Age and into the pre-Islamic era.
• Established in 1969, the Al Ain Museum is the oldest museum in the UAE and a cornerstone of the country’s cultural heritage.

The Al Ain Museum in context, tracing heritage, architecture and renewal within the UNESCO World Heritage landscape
This publication presents an account of the Al Ain Museum within its broader cultural and archaeological context. Structured in three chapters, it explores the museum’s significance within the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Al Ain, its architectural and historical evolution, and its recent rehabilitation.
The first chapter situates the museum within the cultural landscape of Al Ain, offering archaeological and historical insights into the region. Contributions by Peter Sheehan and Michel De Vreeze provide foundational context, while Abdul Rahman Al Nuaimi discusses the World Heritage designation. Cartographic inserts and a foldout timeline enhance spatial and temporal understanding. The second chapter focuses on built heritage, particularly Haret Al Hosn and the museum’s historical development. It includes archaeological analyses and conservation perspectives from Peter Sheehan and Amel Chabi. The last chapter addresses the museum’s rehabilitation, emphasising archaeological investigations conducted during construction and before it, as well as the architectural vision by Dabbagh Architects. A foldout floor plan illustrates curatorial zoning and interpretive strategies.
• While grounded in rigorous archaeological and conservation scholarship, the publication is designed for a general audience. Its accessible language and visually engaging layout aim to foster broader public understanding of Al Ain’s cultural heritage and the museum’s role within it.
• The book also serves as a valuable reference for heritage professionals, archaeologists, and conservationists committed to the sustainable stewardship of cultural assets.
Peter Sheehan is an archaeologist who has been working in and around historic buildings and urban landscapes in Egypt and the Middle East for the last 30 years.

text by Jonathan Gornall; edited by Mo Gannon
The book documents a remarkable experimental archaeology project by Zayed National Museum, in partnership with Zayed University and New York University Abu Dhabi: the recreation of a Bronze Age boat that in 2024 successfully sailed off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, once part of an ancient region known as Magan. Guided by archaeological evidence found across the region, including on Abu Dhabi’s Umm an-Nar Island, a team of scholars and traditional boatbuilders recreated the boat to gain knowledge of how Magan connected with its trading partners and to shed light on the UAE’s maritime heritage. Using only hand tools, the team employed techniques and materials based on clues found in ancient evidence, with reed bundles for the hull, black bitumen for the waterproofing and goat hair for the sail. The boat has a home in Zayed National Museum at the heart of Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District.
Through a fascinating narrative and beautiful design, the book takes a deep dive into the archaeological evidence of Bronze Age boats, the building of the museum’s Magan Boat and two days of sea trials around the islands of Abu Dhabi.
• With rich visuals and compelling storytelling, the book offers a unique insights into ancient boatbuilding and the Arabian Gulf’s role as a key trading centre in the past.
• An original project that blends rigorous scholarship with the hands-on knowledge of traditional boatbuilders, bringing Bronze Age techniques and materials vividly to life.
Jonathan Gornall is a journalist, formerly with The Times of London, who has lived and worked in the United Arab Emirates. He is also a sailor and a very amateur boatbuilder. Mo Gannon, the senior English editor at Zayed National Museum, has worked as a journalist in the Arabian Gulf region since 2008. She spent her childhood sailing along Canada’s West Coast.

The
art of the Iranian painter, musician and performance artist
Reza Derakshani
Edited by Necmi Sönmez, this monograph features the works of Reza Derakshani, showcasing his unique art perspective.
Reza Derakshani is a passionate painter. A hallmark of his paintings is their poetic surface; his subjects are figurative but nevertheless not easly deciphered. To understand the historical relevance of Reza Derakshani, his work must be conceived of as the result of a cross between transnational artistic avant-garde, music pratice, and political activity. It operates in synchrony with contemporary avant-garde language and, in profundity, is deeply rooted in Irans Post-Revolution cultural and social context. Since the mid 1980s, Reza Derakshani has been working on his pictorial vocabulary, which is marked by emotional narration, illusive leitmotives and fluent migration references. Derakshani’s work is characterized by a unique lighter scraping technique, greater exposed areas of unprimed canvas, a precarious imaginary, and the introduction of textual traces. His ongoinig series complement this output with mythic, often cryptic, archetypes and allegories. Derakshani’s world of poetic and music quotations is a gateway to a different fluent universe opened up by a multitude of references and ciphers that can be traversed emotively in a Situationist “dérive”.
• Derakshani has been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the globe.
• Derakshani’s work has been widely recognized in publications and in several international television programs and radio shows.
Dr. Necmi Sönmez is an independent curator who has led international cooperation and worked with different museums. Alistair Hicks is a writer and curator. Olivia Sand, a contributor to Asian Art Newspaper since its launch in 1997, has been among the first journalists to focus on contemporary Asian and Islamic art.

Milton Avery, the poet of colour
“Why talk when you can paint?” the reticent Milton Avery, grand colourist of modern American art, is reported to have once said. As an aphorism it seems to encapsulate the silent world of this prodigious artist whose method of communication was his canvas. Avery was revered by those who saw in him a master of colour, as his works graduated from early Impressionist landscapes, to the flattened forms of colour that critics say paved the way for the Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s. Avery remains an influential painter for today’s generation of contemporary artists.
• The book is published on the occasion of the most comprehensive European survey of Milton Avery’s work to date.
• It includes contributions and works by leading contemporary artists — including March Avery, Henni Alftan, Jonas Wood, and Nicolas Party — responding to Avery’s legacy and use of colour.
Edith Devaney is the artistic director at MICAS. For twenty years she was a senior curator at the Royal Academy of Arts where she was responsible for originating and curating exhibitions.

Throughout the 20th century, Maltese art evolved from traditional academic styles toward modernism, with its artists frequently training in European centres, engaging with global themes while maintaining connections to the island's unique cultural heritage.
The book features the works – including paintings, sculpture, video and sound-based work – of six Maltese artists of different generations, with almost all establishing far-reaching reputations: Caesar Attard, Vince Briffa, Austin Camilleri, Joyce Camilleri, Anton Grech and Pierre Portelli. Arranged around the theme of space – both real and imagined – each of the six artists has responded in different ways, with some evoking a sense of a landscape and others taking a more conceptual view on the idea of space, and by extension, place.
• A celebration of Maltese contemporary art through the works of six renowned Maltese artists offering a distinct perspective on the evolving concept of space.
• The book, and the exhibition, underlines Malta’s rising global presence in contemporary art.

“A halo can be visible or invisible, yet it is always a manifestation of the inner nature of things.” –Shay Frisch
In Halo Shay Frisch reimagines the traditional notions of the halo for a contemporary audience. By drawing on historical, spiritual, and technological themes, the artist invites viewers to engage with energy as both a physical phenomenon and a metaphor for infinite possibility. Halo highlights the artist’s large-scale, site-specific installations where light becomes a visible manifestation of electricity. Frisch’s work connects sacred and secular realms and explores the enduring power of circular motifs to evoke connection, balance, and transcendence. Using circuits, bespoke electrical components, and industrial materials, the artist arranges these elements into geometric forms that emit light, transforming inert objects into dynamic fields of energy.
• Shay Frisch’s works have been shown in various museums and foundations all around the world.
Shai Baitel, exhibition curator and writer, is the artistic director of The Modern Art Museum (MAM) in Shanghai.

This monograph traces the career of Clémence van Lunen, a sculptor who trained in Belgium with Michel Smolders and then at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. Although she first explored materials such as wood and metal latticework, it was in ceramics that she found her true artistic fulfilment. Her commitment to this medium was affirmed through a series of important residencies: first in Spain and France and above all in China, at Jingdezhen, where she has worked regularly since 2004 in a converted former state factory. Passionate about teaching, Clémence van Lunen teaches drawing and sculpture at a number of institutions, including the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art et de Design of Nancy. She was also the Director of the Ateliers Beauxarts of Paris. This publication highlights a dense and coherent career, in which ceramics becomes the vehicle for a personal and demanding sculptural language.

essays by Cyrille Sciamma and Pierre Wat. Foreword by Olivier Kaeppelin
Born in 1958, Guy de Malherbe lives and works between Paris and his studio in Poncé-sur-Loir, Sarthe. His still-lifes are often inspired by memories of shared, convivial moments. With great humor, they combine gastronomy and painting to maliciously illustrate a French art de vivre. Witness to happiness as well as the ephemeral, they are a philosophical reminder of the brevity of life. At the same time, his still-lifes are also an exploration of an artistic heritage: the oyster self-portraits are sometimes pop in the manner of Andy Warhol, sometimes classical in the tradition of Jean Siméon Chardin, sometimes almost surreal, recalling the enigmatic landscapes of Giorgio de Chirico. These pictorial allusions are complemented by a play on self-reference: oysters, shores and rocks are part of a series of paintings that respond to each other over the years.
• A comprehensive portrait of a singular artistic voice.
• The book traces the evolution of Guy de Malherbe’s richly personal and multifaceted work.
Cyrille Sciamma is director of the Musée des impressionnismes in Giverny. Pierre Wat is a French art historian, art critic and university professor. Olivier Kaeppelin is a French curator, art critic and author.
A monograph on one of the most famous Indian artists of his generation
Born in 1974 in Mumbai, Jitish Kallat is one of the most profound and insightful Indian artists of his generation. He uses artistic media as varied as painting, collage, sculpture, video, photography and installations to establish a philosophical and poetic dialogue between the cosmos and everyday life. Tender, concerned and ironic, his works are inspired by current Indian politics as well as by sociology, biology, astronomy and archaeology. In 2015, the video The Eternal Gradient featured 365 round Indian buns - rotis - imitating each phase of an annual moon cycle, combining the beauty of the stars with that of everyday life. In 2017, after a five-year break, he returned to painting with Palindrome/Anagram Painting, a mysterious herbarium in which oversized fossils stand alongside delicate vegetation. Time, ritual and nature also drive his latest installation: in early 2023, in front of Somerset House in London, Whorled (Here After Here After Here) unrolls 168 metres of concentric spirals made of biodegradable mesh and printed on one side, like road signs, with the names of worldwide locations threatened by rising waters or already destroyed.
• The book explores the profound artistic journey of Jitish Kallat, one of India’s most influential contemporary artists, represented by Galerie Templon in France and Belgium.

The first comprehensive monograph on the acclaimed artist
Ruth Pastine (b. 1964) is known for her minimalist colour field paintings and multi-panel installations that extend the sensibilities of the 1960s Southern California Light and Space movement. For more than forty years, Pastine has pursued a phenomenological investigation of visual perception, which she explores through the materiality of paint and the elusive and relative qualities of colour, radiance, and depth. This fully illustrated monograph situates the artist’s work in the context of 20th- and 21-century painting, abstraction, minimalism, and perceptual art in relation to Light and Space through an examination of the tensions that drive her practice: materiality and immateriality, the known and the unknown, the finite and the limitless.
• The book contributes new scholarship from practitioners who demonstrate a longstanding commitment to contemporary painting, Light and Space, post-war abstraction, and minimalism, and to the growing swell of critical interest in women artists who have been historically influential but underrepresented and less known internationally.
Nancy Zastudil has been advocating for artists’ voices for nearly two decades. She has edited numerous exhibition catalogues and monographs.

In Mexico, a country that daily faces the brutal reality of femicide, forced migration, institutional violence and social marginalization, Margolles’ work acquires an urgent relevance. Her artistic approach, which delves into the raw and tangible materiality of trauma, enables the public to directly confront realities that are usually invisible or silenced. The strength of her proposals lies precisely in this ability to transfer structural violence to the space of aesthetic contemplation, forcing the viewer to confront the ethical and emotional complexity of contemporary violence.
The book features works dating from 2004 until today. These range from large installation, including sound installation, mixed media works, a collaborative work with embroidered fabric, and performative works.
• Two decades of powerful work by Teresa Margolles, one of the most important conceptual artists working on themes of violence, death, and social injustice in Latin America.

The first publication entirely devoted to the groundbreaking work of Brazilian artist
Spanning his most significant works from 2017 to 2025, this first monographic publication dedicated to the work of the Brazilian artist Adriano Amaral (b. 1982) features newly commissioned essays by Germano Dushá, Margot Norton, and Tamar Clarke-Brown, alongside an in-depth interview conducted by Sarah Johanna Theurer. More than a retrospective survey, the book is conceived as an extension of Amaral’s artistic method—an object that carries the same atmospheric charge and energetic density as his installations. Beyond documentation, it seeks to synthesize the core pursuits, concepts, and visualities that have defined the artist’s practice over the past 15 years.
• Featuring insightful contributions from leading curators and critics, the book offers an in-depth look at Amaral’s evolving practice.
Germano Dushá is a curator, writer, and cultural agent. In the intersection of aesthetics, critical thinking and esoteric traditions, his practice assumes multiple forms—as curatorial, literature, and hypermedia experiments—to investigate social imaginaries, and dwell on the energy fluxes connected to radical subjective experiences and transmutation processes. With Skira he recently published Paulo Monteiro (2024).

Contemporary art and its central role in the global geopolitical landscape
Contemporary art, positioned at the intersection of market forces and cultural trends, has become a crucial marker of national influence and identity. Contrary to the widespread belief that contemporary art possesses a unique capacity to resolve conflicts and promote cross-cultural understanding, this book argues that such assumptions are increasingly misplaced. In a context marked by the resurgence of nationalism and geopolitical tensions, contemporary art functions less as a force for reconciliation and more as a strategic tool within international power dynamics. The first part of the book undertakes a critical examination of contemporary art’s interactions with diverse societal domains, including religion, violence, tourism, globalization, and the art market. The second part offers a series of monographic analyses that trace the growing centrality of contemporary art across twenty-five nation-states.
• Written by the renowned curator, a unique geopolitical lens covering 25 countries.
Enrico Mascelloni is an art critic with an interest in geopolitics. His analysis of the relationship between contemporary art and geopolitics has focused on some of the most daring movements of the Western avant-garde, on the visual renewal of Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

A comprehensive retrospective of a unique Franco-Moroccan voice
Najia Mehadji, Franco-Moroccan painter and draughtswoman, explores abstraction, gesture, and spirituality, creating works that span more than forty years of practice. An expressive and contemplative artist, she draws on both Western avant-garde movements and Mediterranean and Sufi traditions. Her paintings and drawings combine fluid movement, intricate arabesques, and a profound sense of rhythm and space. Each piece is an exploration of the invisible, a dialogue between movement, color, and light. Mehadji’s work is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. It balances intensity and serenity, spontaneity and discipline, inviting viewers to contemplate the inner and outer worlds.

The Amazônia catalogue presents the contemporary nature of Amazonian worlds across time and space, revealing singular historical and aesthetic concepts.
Despite its fame, this part of the world remains paradoxically little-known. Beyond the virgin forest fantasised by the West, this publication presents the Amazon as a complex ecosystem, through the eyes of the indigenous peoples living in the region. Diverse and plural, they are both ancient and contemporary. With over 200 illustrations – contemporary art, ephemeral or immaterial art (languages, songs, body art), works from the collections of the Musée du Quai Branly, among others – this book invites readers to discover the Amazon as a place of knowledge, creation, and protest deeply rooted in the present.
• The catalogue centers the voices and visions of indigenous Amazonian peoples, offering a rare and authentic look at their cultures.

This is the first comprehensive book dedicated to Egyptian artist Wassef Boutros-Ghali, tracing his artistic evolution across Cairo, Paris, and New York. Working privately and exhibiting selectively, he left behind a body of work that until now has remained largely unexamined. This catalogue brings coherence to that dispersed legacy, presenting a definitive timeline of his artistic evolution. Wassef Boutros-Ghali (1924–2023) was an Egyptian painter and architect whose late-blooming artistic career spanned decades and continents. Though trained in architecture, he painted throughout his life, developing a unique visual language; rooted in abstraction, his bold, geometric works blend vibrant color with architectural precision, reflecting a lifelong pursuit of harmony—what he described as a “visual equilibrium of geometric shapes and colors.” His practice evolved over decades into increasingly lyrical and expressive works.
• Since Boutros-Ghali’s passing in 2023, his work has seen growing curatorial and institutional attention.
• The publication also reflects extensive archival research, brought to life through commissioned texts by a distinguished group of contributors.
Lesley Campoy oversees the art collection of Egyptian painter and architect Wassef Boutros-Ghali—her father-in-law—as its Collection Director. Sultan Sooud Al-Qassemi is a prominent Emirati commentator, cultural advocate, and founder of the Barjeel Art Foundation, known for promoting modern Arab art. Barbara A.

A new lens on African Art in the book accompanying the launch of the Gabonese art museum
While the arts of Gabon and sub-Saharan Africa are often presented in terms of ethnic classifications, this book takes a different approach, highlighting the contacts, borrowings and, more broadly, the porosity between cultures, based on around a hundred works from the Comilog Foundation for Gabonese Art and Culture.
Comilog, a subsidiary of the French group Eramet, is a mining company and the world’s leading producer of manganese, based in Moanda in south-east Gabon. In 2023, it is launching a project to create a museum for Gabonese art and culture, bringing together works of contemporary art (sculpture, painting, photography). This book, which accompanies the opening of the museum, brings together authors from different disciplines: philosophers, ethnologists and art historians, mainly from Gabon and its cultural area. It highlights the continuum between Gabonese cultures, which is apparent in both tangible and intangible production, without erasing their specificities and identities.
• Challenging conventional ethnic classifications, the book offers a dynamic perspective on Gabonese and sub-Saharan African art.
• The publication marks the opening of a major new museum in Moanda, dedicated to both traditional and contemporary Gabonese art.
Christel Bories is Chairman and CEO of Eramet-Comilog. Léod-Paul Batolo is Director and CEO of Comilog SA. Safi Virginius is Project Manager and Director of Human Resources at Comilog SA.

Five centuries of great European painting in the revised edition of the catalogue of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisboa
In April 1899, Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian acquired his first painting. Between then and 1953, the year in which he added the last canvas to his Collection, over half a century elapsed. The range of works contained in this section of the Collection spans almost five hundred years of art history and reveals a particularly eclectic taste, something that in fact extends to the great diversity of works exhibited at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
A dominant theme of the set of two hundred and twenty-nine paintings acquired and kept by the Collector, of which more than half are in storage, reflects the special interest that he had for portrait and landscape painting. Indeed, these genres are given particular preponderance in the exhibition open to the public at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon since October 2nd, 1969. The one hundred and twelve paintings on permanent exhibition in the museum’s galleries, which are published in full here, also confirm this preference.
• The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisboa presents a group of over 100 paintings dating from the 15th to the late 19th century: from Venetian masters like Ghirlandaio and Carpaccio to the golden age of Dutch painting, from 18th-century French painting to the great French masters Manet, Monet, Renoir and Degas.
• The book offers a sort of visual visit in which each painting is reproduced in its entirety and in close-ups of smaller details.
• An introductory essay provides depth and background to one ofEurope’s most distinct and important collection of classic and modem art.
Luísa Sampaio is curator of the European Painting and Sculpture collections at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum (since 1999). She has assisted in the organisation of a number of exhibits and collaborated in the publication of various catalogues.

The first book revealing the full history of the islands
This book is a heartfelt tribute to the Brioni Islands, a place where lush Mediterranean landscapes meet the enduring legacy of Roman villas, Austro-Hungarian elegance, and Tito’s bold socialist experiments. More than a celebration of breathtaking beauty, it explores Brioni as a cultural and ecological landmark—alive with stories, contrasts, and possibility.
Through vivid storytelling and striking imagery, the authors invite readers to rediscover the islands not only as a historical treasure but as a living laboratory for dialogue, sustainability, and the reimagining of our shared future. Once a stage for diplomacy and utopian ideals, Brioni may yet inspire a new era of nonalignedthought – where nature and culture speak in harmony.
• The first comprehensive history of the Brioni Islands, from ancient Roman splendor to Tito’s unique socialist vision.
• With captivating imagery and evocative essays, the book brings the islands to life, inviting readers on a sensory and intellectual journey.
• Endpaper created by Julian Schnabel. Photographs by Tom Wagner.
Reiner Opoku is a Berlin based art consultant and international art agent. He has curated numerous international art exhibitions since the early 1980s, and is representing a variety of renowned contemporary artists. With Skira he recently published Jiri Georg Dokoupil. Venetian Bubbles (2024).

The caftan, embroidery and belts are an integral part of Morocco’s heritage, embodying its identity and expressing its uniqueness and permanence throughout history.
The caftan, an emblematic ceremonial garment worn by Moroccan women, represents refinement and authenticity. Made from sumptuous fabrics and embellished with silks and brocades, it is adorned with a profusion of original embroidery, which each region has personalised according to its own style and technique.
The richness and diversity of the caftan, embroidery, belts and Moroccan costume in general have never failed to arouse the admiration of travellers, Western ambassadors from the 16th to the 18th century and Orientalist painters of the 19th century, attesting to their timeless aesthetics. Moroccan costume provides a concrete insight into the art of living and way of life of the inhabitants, revealing the ingenuity and talent of the artisans and their ability to open up to the outside world without ever denying their roots.
This box set comprising three books will reveal for the first time the richness of an exceptional collection. A vibrant tribute to Moroccan craftsmanship and art de vivre.
• Three exclusive books in a luxurious box set, revealing the most important collection of Moroccan textile art.
• The first comprehensive presentation of an exceptional private collection, capturing the depth and diversity of traditional Moroccan garments.
• Each volume pays tribute to the refinement, ingenuity and authenticity of Moroccan artisans.
Rachida Alaoui, art historian, specialised in Arab-Muslim costume history, author of various publications on the subject. She is also an exhibition curator and in 2008 organised the exhibition “A Moroccan Passion: Caftans, Embroidery, Jewellery” at the Yves Saint Laurent Foundation in Paris.

This publication aims to deepen awareness of Henri Moissan’s legacy and the jewelry inspired by his work
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, Henri Moissan discovered a new mineral—silicon carbide—while studying meteorites from Diablo Canyon, Arizona. This mineral, later named moissanite, is extremely rare in nature, composed of pre-solar grains. Moissan also developed the electric arc furnace, enabling the synthesis of artificial diamonds.
This book highlights the devastating environmental impact of traditional diamond mining. In contrast, lab-created Moissan diamonds offer an eco-friendly, conflict-free solution—appealing to environmentally conscious consumers without compromising beauty or heritage. The editor Denise Wendel-Poray outlines the vision behind the Moissan Company, founded by Jos Sacre and Ernesto Ibarra, rooted in ecological, artistic, and entrepreneurial values. Olivier Lafont reveals Moissan as not just a scientific genius, but also a passionate art collector—combining the minds of a scientist and artist. Mwape Chama critiques traditional diamond mining’s environmental toll: deforestation, biodiversity loss, toxic waste and massive landscape damage, while Moissan diamonds—lab-created and eco-friendly—offer a sustainable alternative, challenging the romanticized view of natural diamonds. Jewelry historian Bianca Cappello explores moissanite’s role in design from the early 20th century onward, including iconic pieces like the Tennis Bracelet and other classic forms such as Cuban Link Chains and engagement rings. • Science, history, ethics and art in a compelling case for sustainable luxury.
Denise Wendel-Poray is a Canadian writer, editor and curator. Mwape Chama is a legal researcher and policy advocate based in Peterborough, UK. Olivier Lafont, a leading chemist and historian of pharmacy, is renowned for his work on Henri Moissan and medicinal chemistry. Bianca Cappello is an art and jewellery historian, curator and author specializing in 18th–20th century jewellery.

What is the future of architecture? Turin-based architect Benedetto Camerana explores this question by reflecting on over two decades of work, blending past projects with a contemporary vision of cities and landscapes.
The book is structured into four key sections, covering his perspectives on architecture, urban spaces, interiors, and landscape. Landmark projects such as EnviPark (1998–2000) and the Torino 2006 Olympic Village showcase his environmentally driven design approach and use of innovative technologies.
Turin has represented the main testing ground for Benedetto Camerana, with restoration and redesign operations on historical heritage works, such as the Church of Maria Madre dei Giovani (2008-2012), as well as contemporary cultural centers like the Juventus Museum (2009-2012) and Camera – Italian Center for Photography (2014-2015) and a series of significant buildings for the workplace. Camerana’s work for iconic Italian automotive brands, such as the complete redesign of the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese (2014-2015) and Ferrari Museum in Maranello (2018), emphasizes beauty, emotion and speed.
The volume ends with broad overview of the international scene, featuring projects for several Chinese metropolises, the Port of Hamburg and some major Italian cities, reaffirming the centrality of contemporary design and the search for new forms of environmental sustainability for our future.
• Integration between architecture and landscape in the projects designed and built in over twenty years by Benedetto Camerana and his studio.
A curator, critic and historian of architecture, Luca Molinari is a full professor of Theory and Architectural Design at the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli.” He is the editorial director of the magazine Platform Architecture and Design and works as an independent author with Italian and international newspapers and magazines.

Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso) illustrated with 30 original etchings by Pablo Picasso, 1931
The facsimile of Ovid’s Métamorphoses, the first volume published by Skira in 1931, illustrated by the extraordinary etchings of Pablo Picasso
In 1931, thanks to the help of Jacqueline Apollinaire, a young Albert Skira, upon the suggestion of Pierre Matisse, convinced Pablo Picasso to illustrate Ovid’s Métamorphoses with 30 etchings. The exceptional edition, in only 145 copies, was the first publication of the newborn Skira. It was soon followed by the Poems of Mallarmé (29 original etchings by Henri Matisse) and Les Chants de Maldoror illustrated by Salvador Dalí (42 etchings).
For the 90th anniversary of the publishing house, Skira issued an anastatic copy of the work, slightly different in format and in agreement with the Picasso Estate. The volume boasts 412 pages including the etchings (15) both in and outside the text (15). The facsimile is perfect. The work is contained in a box that, with the Métamorphoses, also bears an illustrated brochure narrating the birth and history of this legendary volume. Picasso’s etchings out of the text, on 15 myths, are of rare uniformity, in a style with clean edges and discrete eroticism. Instead, the etchings found at the start of the chapters do not relate to the text and portray faces, nudes and the female body.
The book was printed on Picasso’s 50th birthday and was described by Christian Zervos as being “of almost Doric beauty”.

Skira’s new series Milestones is a collection of books devoted to today’s greatest living artists. More than retrospectives, Milestones are comprehensive excursions into the daily life and work of exceptional living artists and provide a rare backstage glimpse at their art. Each volume of the series presents one or more intimate interviews with the artist by a curator or a fellow artist, an essay by a renowned author, and the artist’s biography. The iconography of the book includes images and plates of the key works explained by the artists themselves and an original photoshoot of the artist in his studio by leading photographers, as well as a “family album” with previously unpublished shots and personal photos. Born in Johannesburg in 1955, William Kentridge is internationally renowned for the expressionism of his work in numerous media (charcoal, printmaking, sculpture and film), as well as his acclaimed theatrical and operatic productions. As elusive as it is allusive, Kentridge’s art is shaped by apartheid and grounded in the politics of the post-apartheid era, and in science, literature and history.

Vezzoli’s exploration of visual history, spanning from the glamour of Italian cinema’s golden age to the sacred motifs of religious iconography
Francesco Vezzoli’s work revels in the power of nostalgia, fame, and sorrow, threading cinema, embroidery, and art history into a singular, melancholic vision. His bejeweled tears—stitched onto the faces of film and fashion’s great icons—transform heartbreak into ornament, elevating sorrow to spectacle. This book traces Vezzoli’s engagement with visual history, from the golden age of Italian cinema to the devotional traditions of religious iconography. Through film, needlework, and performance, he reframes longing and loss as a conceptual thread linking cultural memory with contemporary image-making.
Francesco Vezzoli: Diva? is a study in beauty, artifice, and catharsis.
“While Vezzoli went on to embrace film as an essential medium within his multidisciplinary work, his early adoption of embroidery as a signature channel of expression gave him the unique form with which to convey the pathos he discovered on the screen.”—Nancy Spector
• Drawing from different disciplines (cinema, embroidery, art history), Vezzoli’s exploration of cultural memory links the golden age of Italian cinema with religious iconography, creating a rich tapestry that redefines nostalgia and loss in the contemporary context.
• The book features an interview to Francesco Vezzoli by Hans Ulrich Obrist, a conversation between Sophia Loren and Francesco Vezzoli and the essays by Nancy Spector and Donatien Grau.
Shai Baitel, exhibition curator and writer, is the artistic director of The Modern Art Museum (MAM) in Shanghai. With Skira he recently published Marina Abramovic´. Transforming Energy (2024) and David Hockney. Paper Trails (2024).

The multiform sculptural works by one of the leading figures of the contemporary international art scene
Edited by Javier Molins, the book features some of the most iconic and impressive monumental works by the Spanish artist from the beginnings to the present. Manolo Valdés (1942) is renowned for his monumental sculptures that blend classical influences with contemporary aesthetics. In 2024, his large-scale works have been displayed in several prestigious locations worldwide, including Venice, where his twelve Reina Mariana and a monumental Infanta Margarita were placed in Piazzetta San Marco. His sculptures also graced the City of Arts and Science in Valencia, the Botanical Garden in New York, the Orchard Road and Botanical Garden in Singapore, and the iconic Dubai, where they created a striking contrast with the modern skyline. In Paris, Valdés’s monumental pieces have been showcased in Paris at Place Vendôme and Palais Royal, adding a new dimension to these historic landmarks. Impassioned by artists of the past ranging from Zurbarán to Velázquez, Matisse to Lichtenstein, Valdés finds more than just inspiration in their paintings; he uses their work “as a pretext” to create an entirely new aesthetic object (a painting or sculpture that while clearly sourced from a known composition is a uniquely brilliant work of art in itself.
• The book offers a fascinating insight into how Manolo Valdés reinterprets classical and modern art to forge his own unique creative universe.
• The publication also documents how the Spanish artist transforms historic sites into dynamic art spaces, with pieces in some of the world’s most prestigious locations.

foreword by Laurent Le Bon and Xavier Rey
A book devoted to the renowned artist, psychoanalyst and philosopher, a pioneer of the concept of matrix space
Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger is a Franco-Israeli artist, writer, psychoanalyst and philosopher based in France. Born in Mandate Palestine on 23 March 1948, she lives and works in Paris.
Her work, deeply marked by the personal history of her parents, survivors of the Shoah, is part of a century in which modern painting developed in response to individual and collective tragedies. Drawing on both her family heritage and the history of art, she explores notions of generational transmission, trauma, collective memory and amnesia.
The originator of the concept of matrix space, she was exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in 2024. Several of her works have been included in the permanent collections. This catalogue brings together all the works in the exhibition, views of installations, and photographs from her personal notebooks, providing a comprehensive overview of Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger’s various projects with the Centre Pompidou over nearly forty years.
• Ettinger’s work opens up a profound dialogue between the psychological and the aesthetic, offering a unique lens through which to view human experience and creativity.
• The inclusion of Ettinger’s work in the 2024 exhibition at the prestigious Centre Pompidou solidifies her place in contemporary art history.
Laurent Le Bon is the president of the Centre Pompidou. Xavier Rey is the director of the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Following the success of her highly acclaimed first work, Modern Art in Egypt: Identity and Independence (1850-1936), Fatenn Mostafa-Kanafani’s new book, The Egyptian Avant-Garde: Artists, Poets, and Rebels 1936-1973, reclaims Egypt’s revolutionary art movements, positioning them as independent models within the global art historical canon. Navigating the complex intersection of art, politics, and society, Kanafani demonstrates how Egypt’s two most critical artist collectives—the Art & Liberty Group and the Contemporary Art Group—were at the forefront of a radical reimagining of Egypt, challenging Western-centric predefined frameworks that either label the former as a derivative of international Surrealism or view the latter through the lens of Islam.
The Egyptian Avant-Garde offers the first in-depth comparative study of these progressive cultural forces, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of their ideological and visual disruptions during Egypt’s fight for independence from colonial rule and in the aftermath of the 1952 Revolution.
• The book redefines Egypt’s radical art movements, presenting them as unique and influential models in the global art history.
• The first in-depth exploration of how Egyptian avant-garde movements directly engaged with the political landscape, reshaping both cultural identity and the global understanding of revolutionary art.
Fatenn Mostafa-Kanafani is an art historian and scholar, specializing in modern Egyptian art and the intersections of politics and culture, making her one of the leading figures in the study of Egyptian modernism. Her work has significantly contributed to the understanding of Egyptian cultural movements, and she continues to spearhead a deeper appreciation for Egypt’s role in the global art narrative.

This landmark volume celebrates the extraordinary artistry of Takehiko Sugawara, offering a profound insight into his career and creative evolution
Richly illustrated and with a compelling narrative, this monograph introduces Sugawara’s evocative work to a global audience, cementing his reputation as a leading figure in contemporary Japanese art.
Born in Tokyo in 1962, Sugawara studied Japanese painting at Tama Art University. His artistic trajectory transformed in 1996 upon encountering Jindaizakura, an ancient cherry tree in Yamanashi Prefecture. This moment sparked his lifelong dedication to depicting nature’s grandeur. His subjects include iconic cherry blossoms and natural landmarks such as Usuzumizakura in Gifu, Miharu Takizakura in Fukushima, and the majestic Kirifuri no Taki waterfall in Tochigi. As a pivotal figure in 21st-century art, Sugawara bridges tradition and innovation, embodying the enduring legacy of Japanese aesthetics. He captures the vitality of nature through a fusion of techniques, employing traditional methods, such as back coloring on Echizen washi paper, alongside innovative practices like allowing burnt pine ink to crack naturally. The result is a body of work that reimagines Japanese painting, marrying age-old craftsmanship with contemporary expression.
• This monograph honors Sugawara’s ability to revitalize traditional art forms while offering a modern perspective, affirming his status as a masterful interpreter of Japan’s natural and artistic heritage.
Nobuo Tsuji is an art historian and professor emeritus at both the University of Tokyo and Tama Art University. He is the author of several influential works, including Lineage of Eccentrics: Matabei to Kuniyoshi (1970) and Playfulness in Japanese Art (1986), and of several other publications on Japanese art. Koichiro Noji is a prominent Japanese author and art historian specializing in modern Japanese art. He is currently the director of the Tokyo Branch of the Sen-Oku Hakukokan Museum.

Liu Wei (b. 1972, Beijing, China; lives and works in Beijing, China) explores 21st-century socio-political concepts such as the contradictions of contemporary society and the transformation of developing cities and the urban landscape. In many of his sculptural and installation works, he uses found materials that are re-contextualized to draw new meanings out of the materials from which they are made. Liu Wei frequently uses geometric and architectural forms in his work as a reference to his urban surroundings.
This book will cover the artist’s overall practice and history, highlighting major moments, but focusing on the period from 2019 to 2025, which includes a major presentation at the 2019 Venice Biennale curated by the Hayward’s Ralph Rugoff and the 2019-2020 two part institutional show at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, titled Invisible Cities, which was the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States. It will also feature his most recent work that will be showcased in an upcoming solo exhibition in New York.
• Liu Wei has not had a major book published not tied exclusively to an institutional show. The last large scale publication for his work was in 2012, Trilogy, tied to his solo show at the Minsheng Art Museum.
• Bringing together scholars from the United States, Europe, and China, the book will serve as a critical tool to expanding the artist’s profile globally.
• Liu Wei’s work is included in numerous collections worldwide.

The fully illustrated monograph Aaron Parazette offers an in-depth exploration of the artist’s practice over the past 30 years. Parazette (b. 1960, California) grew up by the beach and in the ocean; his temperament and aesthetics are deeply influenced by “West Coast cool” and surfing culture. His concerns have spanned beauty, originality, form, space, and color, oscillating between critique and reverence. At times ironic and at other times deeply sincere, Parazette has created a rich and compelling oeuvre grounded in abstraction, yet with a keen interest in how painting engages with the world. Featuring commissioned texts and over 100 full-color images, this volume highlights Parazette’s conceptual wit, use of color, geometry, and letterforms, and his engagement with materials and meaning.
• This fully illustrated monograph showcases the evolution of Parazette’s practice and the diverse themes he has engaged with.
• Featuring over 100 images, it captures the depth and range of Parazette’s oeuvre, providing both art lovers and scholars with an in-depth understanding of his impact on contemporary painting.

The work by the awardwinning, emerging South African artist
Chris Soal’s studio-based work is sculptural in its output, working with objects and materials in ways that show a conceptual engagement with the contexts and histories of the objects but that also re-enforce the body as a site for knowledge reception and production. Through his use of discarded and mundane ephemera, such as toothpicks and bottle caps, along with concrete, rebar, electric fencing cable, sandpaper, and other industrial materials, the artist intuitively develops the familiar to the point of the uncanny. Soal’s works can be considered social abstractions influenced by a reinterpreted Arte Povera that is deeply rooted in and reflective of his upbringing in Johannesburg, South Africa. Working symbiotically with his materials, Soal utilises the inherent physical characteristics of the objects to transform them through processes of aggregation, combination, and erosion. He seeks to interrogate views of nature and culture as a binary concept, foregrounding pressing ecological concerns by repositioning the viewer as an active agent within the contemporary environment. Despite the artificiality of his materials, Soal’s process allows them to take on biomorphic qualities or evoke natural phenomena, expressing his interest in their phenomenological quality.
• Soal was selected as one of ten contemporary artists to participate in redesigning three handbags as part of the 5th edition of the Dior Lady Art project.

Che Lovelace (b. 1969, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago) lives and works in his lifelong home of Trinidad. He holds a degree from l’École Régionale des BeauxArts de la Martinique and currently lectures at the University of the West Indies Creative Arts Campus. Rooted in the rural outskirts of Port of Spain, Lovelace considers Trinidad his ultimate subject. The flora, fauna and figures of island life are ever-present in his tropical vistas, painted on board panels split into quadrants. Lovelace’s vibrant, energetic compositions present a nuanced exploration of postcolonial identity, grounded in a deep commitment to the Caribbean landscape and its community. Lovelace’s art is a metaphorical journey through themes of resistance, freedom, mythology, and nature, intertwined with his personal sense of place and politics. His latest solo exhibitions include Day Always Comes at Corvi Mora (2023), Bathers at Nicola Vassell Gallery, New York (2023), and Nighscapes with Palms and Egrets at Various Small Fires, Dallas (2023), among others. His work is in prestigious collections worldwide and his paintings are unapologetically Caribbean, capturing the island’s rich iconography with energy and complexity, while exploring the intersection of culture, community, and identity.
• The book offers a rich exploration of Caribbean culture, identity, and postcolonial issues, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the region’s history and culture.
• Lovelace’s work captures the essence of Trinidad’s natural beauty.

A monograph on Marina Abramovic´’s work with crystals, a part of her practice that is still underexplored
Marina Abramovic´ (1946) believes in the power of crystals to store the whole history of the earth and carry and transmit their energy. Thus, crystals are mainly linked to the Transitory Objects, a series of objects that the artist created to embody energy and trigger physical and mental experiences in the public through direct interaction, several installations, and exhibitions.
Inspired by one of Abramovic´’s most iconic performances, her walk across the Great Wall in China with German artist Ulay in 1988, and published on the occasion of the comprehensive exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) Shanghai, the book includes unseen images of Abramovic’s walk in Great Wall, along with a series of captivating new artworks especially created for the survey. Edited by Shai Baitel, the Artistic Director of MAM Shanghai, in close collaboration with the artist, the book tells the story of how Marina Abramovic´’s discovered and explored the power of stones and crystals, at first, during her performance across the Great Wall with Ulay, and later by visiting mines around Brazil.
• The book offers a unique and vital opportunity to experience the evolution of Marina Abramović’s artistic journey.
• The book is addressed to wider public, as both the healing power of crystals and Marina Abramovic´ are trending topics.
Shai Baitel, exhibition curator and writer, is the artistic director of The Modern Art Museum (MAM) in Shanghai. He conceived the exhibitions Bob Dylan: Retrospectrum in 2019 and Zaha Hadid Architects-Close Up in 2021.

An updated and comprehensive monograph devoted to a leading figure of Italian contemporary art
Among the most relevant artists of the contemporary Italian scene, since the 1970s Remo Salvadori (Cerreto Guidi, 1947) has been carrying out research that, based on the interaction between elements such as water, colour, and metals, proposes a renewed formulation of the work defined by alchemical mutations and streams of knowledge, capable of offering the observer a new awareness of the self and the world.
This monograph – the first to have this approach within the artist’s bibliography – traces in an articulate and in-depth way Salvadori’s life and activity from 1947 to 2024 through a rich chronology, resulting two-years research into the artist’s archive. The publication is accompanied by approximately 700 images of solo and group exhibitions, works, events, and documents, many of them previously unpublished, and introduced by the essays by Antonella Soldaini, Davide Bondì, Filippo Bosco, and Sharon Hecker that, through different viewpoints, contribute to broaden the critical analysis of the artist’s work.
• In his long career, Remo Salvadori has exhibited in major Italian and European museums and participated in important international exhibitions.
Studio Celant was established in June 2020 to conceive and produce editorial and exhibition projects, in continuity with Germano Celant’s work methodology.

The publication explores the history and impact of the iconic exhibition “these, antithese, synthese” featuring essays and a facsimile of the original 1935 catalogue
The publication These, Antithese, Synthese – reconstructed presents, for the first time since the legendary exhibition of 1935, all the works that were shown in the Kunstmuseum Luzern against the backdrop of an increasingly totalitarian Europe. The fantastic project aimed to define a new, abstract, non-elitist art that was for everyone. In 1935, most of the works came directly from the artists’ studios; today, they hang in highly regarded collections across the world. Some were destroyed, others are missing. What were the conditions that led to that exhibition? Who selected the artists? Why were female artists not among them? And what has remained of modernism’s promises for a better life?
This publication brings together historical images, reviews of the time, and the prov-enance of the artworks. It also analyses the historical context of the Kunstmuseum Luzern. The facsimile of the exhibition catalogue designed by Jan Tschichold conveys the visionary graphic design of 1935: Tschichold established new means of expression that continue to inspire today.
• First scientific analysis of the influential 1935 group show “these, antithese, synthese”.
• The book documents the 21st century re-enactment of a trailblazing exhibition.

The book explores the relationship between the human body and the built environment through sculptures and drawings
by Antony Gormley
Published on the occasion of Antony Gormley’s solo exhibition in Beijing in Spring 2025, Body Buildings interrogates our species’ relationship to the built environment, an increasingly high-rise world we rarely escape. In a significant group of recent sculptures and drawings, Gormley uses clay and iron, two ubiquitous materials of the built world, “to think and feel the body in this condition”. This publication illustrates the work in the exhibition through extensive installation photography, guiding readers from Gormley’s new installation Resting Place II (2024) to a series of sculptures investigating the relation of body to building and finally to a group of drawings published here for the first time. It also features new scholarship from Hou Hanru and Stephen Greenblatt who trace the development of this new body of work as well as Gormley’s 30-year engagement with China and the surrounding region in significant works such as Asian Field (2003), Event Horizon (2007) and Host (2016). A photo essay by the artist also tracks his ongoing dialogue with the region through a series of never-before-seen archival photographs of his first research trip to China in 1995 which took him from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the Terracotta Army in Xi’an.
• Antony Gormley is acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship between the human body and space.
• An essential resource for anyone interested in Gormley and his work.
• Gormley’s work has been widely exhibited internationally.

The work by the Brazilian visual artist
Paulo Monteiro (São Paulo, 1961) began his artistic journey at sixteen, drawn to comic strips. In 1982, he and some schoolmates formed a collective studio that would later be known as Casa 7. The group sought to reinvigorate Brazilian painting while embracing external influences. Following the dissolution of Casa 7, Monteiro experimented with various techniques, taking concepts he had been exploring to new processes and formal solutions. In response to the lasting effects of the Neo-Concrete movement, this period was marked by a deep investigation into the boundaries between drawing, painting, and sculpture – an exploration that would continue to inform his practice. His work on paper and canvas expanded to include objects and installations made from found materials such as iron, rubber, and wood, as well as sculptures cast in iron and lead. Continuously exploring the margins and limits of form, Monteiro delves into the possibilities of the line that acts as both the trace of choreography and a boundary that demarcates different zones. The palette of his paintings oscillates between predominantly cool tones and strong, warm hues, at times, creating a strident contrast. Meanwhile, his sculptures displace handfuls of matter to create novel shapes that swell and crumble, resembling ever-transforming life forms.
• Monteiro’s work is part of permanent museum collections aroun the world.
• Paulo Monteiro was included in two editions of the São Paulo Biennial, in 1985 and 1994, in the Habana Biennial (1986), and the Cuenca Biennial (1997).

This volume marks the inaugural entry in a series dedicated to the new generation of Chinese contemporary artists, meticulously selected and curated by the esteemed critic and art historian Lü Peng
As the first contribution to the “Chinese New Art” series on the latest generation of Chinese artists, edited by the renowned art historian Lü Peng, this book focuses on the rising star Zhang Zhaoying (b. 1988), whose work blends influences from the Renaissance, European modern art and the avant-garde movements. Drawing on the evolution of Chinese painting since the 1980s, his art spans Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and Pop Art, yet breaks away from traditional frameworks to create a distinctive methodology marked by both free technique and controlled execution. His diverse visual language reflects China’s rapid transformation and captures the contradictions of modern life, offering a complex, multifaceted narrative that transcends personal storytelling.
• This book launches an innovative series dedicated to contemporary Chinese artists, curated by Lü Peng, a leading authority in Chinese art. Lü Peng has authored the only comprehensive histories of modern and contemporary Chinese art in multiple languages and has curated major exhibitions both in China and internationally.
• Represented by the prestigious Yibo Gallery in China, Zhang Zhaoying’s works have garnered the attention of prominent collectors, including luminaries such as Wang Guangyi and Zeng Fanzhi, and are housed in esteemed institutions such as the MART Museum of Trento and Rovereto.
Lü Peng is a leading Chinese art curator, critic, and historian. Currently, he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art History and Theory at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, as well as at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, and the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts. Since 2017, he has served as President of L-Art University.

A comprehensive insight into the Iranian artist’s work
The work of Mehdi Farhadian (b. 1980) emerges from the fusion of personal visual memories of nature and collective memories preserved in old photographs. The former is deeply individual, while the latter taps into a shared reservoir of collective memory. His paintings are a deliberate effort to activate overlooked histories (forgotten places, neglected public events and monuments erased by time in Iran) portraying the intersection of reality and fiction. Through these images, Farhadian explores the dichotomies of public versus private, past versus present and the forgotten allure of historical images contrasted with the recreation of those memories. Despite incorporating archival images, his artistic pursuits are not solely driven by these materials; they are equally fuelled by the emotional bonds and effective responses he shares with them. This book, comprising scholarly essays accompanied by over 150 colour images, provides a comprehensive insight into Farhadian’s oeuvre. It reveals how he approaches history with a dual perspective – an intellectual appreciation coupled with a profound reverence. For him, a site’s history transcends its physical or archival origin; it also encompasses an emotional projection onto that space.
• Farhadian’s original style of painting combines a great respect for details with a powerful handling of contrasting visual effects, achieved by pouring and dripping paint and wax resist (batik). The use of magical and fantastical imagery in his works evokes both a nostalgic longing for the past and yet also hints at a vision of a futuristic utopia.

Celebrating the centenary of her birth, this definitive monograph of the enormously influential South Korean artist Chun Kyung-Ja (1924-2015) presents her artwork alongside selections of her much-loved essays and writings to give personal insight into the life and times of this renegade and idiosyncratic artist. Trained in traditional Asian painting, she developed an innovative style with vivid colors, strong expression, and powerful themes. Her life and art made her a cultural icon, a beacon of individuality in a time of strong conformity.
Published in collaboration with the Chun Kyung-Ja Foundation, founded by the artist’s daughter Sumita Kim, this volume includes essays by Eleanor Heartney, Kim Hong-Hee, and Barbara MacAdam.
• The first monograph on the artist in English and Korean languages.
• Chun Kyung-Ja has often been described by critics as an artist who explored deep human emotions. She is also known by the nickname of “the magician of colors” for her bold and sophisticated color use.
• Chun Kyung-Ja’s paintings captivated the Korean people throughout her long career of seven decades, and even after her death, many regard her as kukmin hwaga, a “people’s artist.”

The work of the Swiss artist Hans Josephsohn (1920-2012), one of the great masters of sculpture of the second half of the 20th century
Born in 1920 in Eastern Prussia from Jewish parents, Hans Josephsohn left Germany in 1937 and settled in Florence with the aim of studying art. Forced to leave due to fascist racial laws, he moved to Switzerland, which became his adoptive country. Josephsohn’s oeuvre has been defined as “existential sculpture”: in a time that was strongly characterised by the physical and moral devastation left by World War II, Hans Josephsohn developed a language capable to talk about the fragile relationship of mankind with the surrounding world. He was concerned with representing the human being as a figure in space throughout his life. His sculptures are characterised by an ambivalence of the almost abstract figure whose individuality is secured by its form, material and surface.
• The book is published on the occasion of the biggest Josephsohn exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, curated by the german painter Albert Oehlen. It aims to show why Josephsohn, though being little known during his lifetime, is recognized as “the most important sculptor since Giacometti” (Jackie Wullschlager).
• Designed by the acclaimed art director Mike Meiré, the book includes a foreword by Fabrice Hergott, an introduction by the exhibition curator, the artist Albert Oehlen, essays by Thomas Houseago, Danièle Cohn and a photo essay François Halard.
Cornelius Tittel is editor-in-chief of Blau International, a large-format art magazine whose contributors include the French interiors photographer François Halard, the French fashion stylist Marie Chaix and the German astrologer Alexander von Schlieffen.

This book casts new light on mid-twentieth century Color Field painting from the perspective of the artists’ ambitions for the future of abstract painting. Color Field became a convenient, albeit imperfect term to describe paintings in which vast areas of color appear as the dominant force. Color Field was not an art movement, rather it was a cohort of likeminded artists. While the American Abstract Expressionists cleared a path for this postwar generation to forge ahead with abstract painting, their achievements also challenged artists such as Frank Bowling, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Frank Stella and Alma Thomas, to create abstraction anew. Experimenting with non-traditional painting mediums and methods, as well as these artists’ probing of the conventions of painting led to unprecedented works. The book’s title Glory of the World takes its cue from the writings of Frank Stella on the influential artist and teacher Hans Hofmann whose glorious and exalted abstract paintings, produced solely through the straightforward manipulation of pigment, set a high bar for this generation’s aspirations.
• The selection of paintings focuses primarily on the earlier years of Color Field beginning in the 1950s with Frankenthaler’s large stain paintings and ends 1983 when post-modern and imagist painters began to dominate the art scene.
• The book includes reprints of text by Frank Bowling, Clement Greenberg, Alex Greenberger, William Rubin, and Frank Stella.

A comprehensive
monograph
which traces the
artist’s
evolution for the entirety of his career
From revolutionizing portraiture to redefining the nude, Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) is rightly known among the foremost American figurative painters of the late 20th century. Yet his six-decade artistic oeuvre encompasses not only large-scale canvases of distinctively dressed (or undressed) individuals, but also includes evocative landscapes, hard-edged geometric abstractions, lush watercolours on paper, and singular photographs informed by his studies with Walker Evans. This definitive volume spans all aspects of the artist’s practice––probing his photographic experimentation as a forbear to contemporary street photography; celebrating his great sensitivity as a colourist whose unique expertise seamlessly combines oil-based and water-based pigments to evoke time and place; highlighting the observational genuineness in his provocative and personal interpretations of women, of unapologetically visible queer identities, and of his own beloved black communities across the African Diaspora.
Socially urgent and aesthetically powerful, Barkley L. Hendricks: solid! is lavishly illustrated by dozens of previously unpublished works and accompanied by original essays by scholars and curators. Like Hendricks himself, this deeply researched catalogue is multifaceted, insightful, and surprising.
• After the four first booklets (Works on Paper; Landscape Paintings; Basketball Paintings; Photography), the complete monograph on the artist.
• Skira and Jack Shainman Gallery have partnered to conceive, develop, and produce this significant project dedicated to the artist.

This monograph celebrates William Rubin (1927-2006) and his impact on the world of modern art. Renowned as the Director of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art from 1967 to 1988, Rubin is remembered for his unprecedented acquisitions for MoMA’s collection and the ground-breaking exhibitions that showcased them, accompanied by monographs that have become essential readings to art students and historians.
In contrast to previous volumes, this publication focuses on Rubin’s private collection, providing rare introspections on how he lived, what he wrote, and the objects with which he surrounded himself. The 400-page book accompanies a traveling international exhibition of the collection, and is sumptuously illustrated with full-page plates and details. Portrayals of his personal relationships written by artists Frank Stella and Richard Serra, art historians Francis Naumann, Fred Lamp, Bernard de Grunne, and Ulf Küster, writer Adam Gopnik, and fellow collector Ronald Lauder all contribute to our understanding of Rubin’s vision. Phyllis Hattis Rubin, art historian and wife of Rubin, contributes the principal essay: “Living with Bill: an Artful and Art-filled Life.”
• Masterpieces of modern and tribal art from Rubin’s private collection.
• This monograph overlaps with a traveling international exhibition of the collection.

A wide-ranging monograph of over 100 prints by Hockney
David Hockney (b. 1937) is renowned for his distinctive paintings, mostly portraiture and landscape, but also for his approach to works on paper and printmaking, mirroring the vibrancy and diligent indexing seen in his broader body of work. Hockney’s prints often showcase a dynamic interplay of color, form, and perspective, reflecting his keen eye for visual storytelling of intimate elements of his own life.
Throughout his career he has experimented with various printmaking techniques, including etching, lithography, screen printing, and more recently iPads, each method revealing his diligence in manipulating the medium. His visual experiments, always surprising in their outcomes, suggest a rich interior and exterior life, captured in telling bits and fragments, suggesting a montage of quotidian scenes.
Like much of his oeuvre, Hockney’s prints draw from extensive art historical study of the optical devices of Old Master paintings. Recently, his iPad-based art shows an interest in the changing seasons from his own perch in the English countryside, among other vantage points and geographies of interest. Whether depicting landscapes, portraits of friends, or banal scenes, Hockney’s prints exhibit a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and his own distinct playfulness and insight to daily life.
• The works speak to Hockney’s ongoing dedication to capturing and indexing his life and the intimate poetics of the word through intimate portraiture and snapshots from daily life.

This comprehensive monograph of San Francisco Bay Area-based artist offers a unique insight into the vast array of his influences and sources.
Ala Ebtekar (b.1978) is a contemporary visual artist whose work frequently orchestrates various orbits and cadences of time, bringing forth sculptural and photographic possibilities of the universe, and time, gazing back at us. This extensive research and making process borrows and physically reworks thousand year old image/object-making traditions up to the latest technological advances in production. His investigations create experiences extending beyond human timelines, exploring the phenomenology of light. Considering light itself as both a concept and medium, and its healing possibilities, Ebtekar uses UV-light emitted from the sun and night exposures produced by moonlight and starlight in his practice. His photographic works, which take an entire night to expose, continue his durational projects viewed as in collaboration with celestial bodies.
• Raised in Iran and the United States, Ala Ebtekar draws from the tradition of Persian miniature painting, and combines imagery from antiquity with that of the present and imagined future, in his mixed-media prints and installation work.

An in-depth survey of the over twenty-year career of the abstract painter
This richly illustrated volume presents the most in-depth exploration to date of French American painter Paul Pagk’s singular contribution to contemporary abstract painting. Known for his graphic, freehand geometries inscribed in luminous fields of colour, Pagk has cultivated a quietly cosmopolitan sensibility shaped by a transnational upbringing in England, Austria, and France. Since settling in New York in 1988, he has steadily forged a visual language defined by spatial tension, formal and material clarity, and meditative restraint.
Leading voices in art criticism and philosophy – Raphael Rubinstein, Molly Warnock, and Mériam Korichi – examine Pagk’s work from diverse and revealing perspectives. In a text imbued with wit and insight, Adrian Dannatt offers “marginalia” on the artist’s elusive persona and intellectual curiosity.
Together, these contributions form a multifaceted portrait of an artist whose vibrant and contemplative practice continues to challenge and deepen our understanding of the medium of painting.
• First monograph of a major contemporary painter.
• Paul Pagk’s work has been exhibited in several public and private institutions in countries such as France, the United States and South Korea.

New paintings by Katya Muromtseva: monumental watercolour triptychs that connect to the multifaceted narratives and histories of women immigrants
Katya Muromtseva explores new forms of existence within society’s hierarchical social and cultural systems. Her interest lies at the intersection of scholarly and artistic imagination. She employs social empathy, expressing it through the mediums of painting and sculpture. Encompassing large-scale paintings, videos, and shadow installations, her practice is rooted in historical contradictions. The starting points for most of her works are the interviews she conducts with representatives of various social groups.
Based on the exhibition Over the Slopes of Speech at NIKA Project Space, Dubai (February-May 2024), the catalogue includes works inspired by conversations the artist had with immigrants, both in the USA and the UAE. These profoundly personal stories form the basis for her watercolor compositions, which capture the resilience of these women and delve into themes of home, borders, refugees, and human destinies.
• Katya Muromtseva is known for her socially engaged practice and large-scale paintings, videos, and installations that refer to personal and collective memory.
• Her exhibitions and individual works were covered by ArtForum, The Economist, The New York Times, The World, TokyoArtBeat among others.

Gisela Colón is a Puerto Rican-American contemporary artist whose organic, totemic, light-activated sculptures and monumental environmental installations explore human perception challenging viewers to experience transformation in real time and space. Through an artistic process that employs high-tech materials like optical acrylics and carbon fiber, as well as matter harvested from sites of the artist’s own life, Colón is known for pioneering a language of “organic minimalism” that recalls the energy of the earth, ancestral biological memories, and concepts of time, gravity, and universal forces of nature. Colón’s monoliths invoke bullets, projectiles, and missiles, consequently recalling the fraught history of militarized colonialism in the Caribbean generally, and the artist’s complicated personal experiences with gun violence more particularly.
• Colón has exhibited internationally throughout the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America. Standout exhibitions include the Land Art Biennial, Desert X AlUla (Saudi Arabia, 2020), Quantum Shift, Frieze Sculpture (London, 2021) and Forever is Now (Egypt, 2021), presenting a site-specific monument at the Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO landmark dating back 4,500 years.

The work of the young artist with an international career who employs collaging and traditional painting techniques
Born in 1989 in Lagos, Nigeria, Marcellina Oseghale Akpojotor engaged in drawing, design, stencil work, and calligraphy at an early age under her father’s guidance. Later, she pursued formal education in Art and Industrial Design at the Lagos State Polytechnic, further honing her skills and broadening her artistic horizons.
Akpojotor’s art fascinates audiences worldwide through its thought-provoking narratives and unique media, creating an aesthetic that mixes politics and intimacy around culture, identity, and feminism.
Employing a captivating blend of collaging and traditional painting techniques, Akpojotor’s creations are marked by rich textures, layered compositions, and compelling, colourful visual imagery, delving into themes such as femininity, personal and societal identity, and women’s empowerment. She transforms primarily discarded pieces of Ankara fabric, sourced from local fashion houses, into powerful canvases akin to “intriguing tapestries of twitchy and alluring tactile surfaces”, as Professor Frank Ugiomoh writes in his essay.
• Marcellina Akpojotor’s works have been shown in prestigious exhibitions globally.
• The book also includes a conversation between Renée Uba and the artist.

One of the key figures in Japan’s pivotal Mono-ha phenomenon of the late 1960s and early 1970s, artist Kishio Suga has realized a visionary practice of ephemeral, site-specific installations and performative interventions into the everyday environment. Throughout Suga’s career, writing has been an important element in his artistic process, as he uses his texts to interrogate the institution of art and anthropocentric conceptions of the world.
This volume collects Suga’s writings from the period 1980-89, when the Japanese art scene was transformed by a museum-building boom triggered by the country’s rise to unprecedented economic heights. Having challenged conventional definitions of art through his formulations of the “[thing]” and “being left” a decade prior, Suga shifts his focus in the 1980s toward working with the collective logic of the world.
• The groundbreaking translations featured in the volume make the full scope of Suga’s thinking accessible to English readers for the first time; translator Andrew Maerkle contextualizes each text through commentary and notes.
• Included here are the aphoristic fragments that Suga compiled for his retrospective monograph Kishio Suga, 1988–1968, short statements composed for exhibition catalogues, and long-form essays published in art journals and other magazines during the period, many of which appear in English for the first time.
Andrew Maerkle is a writer, editor, and translator based in Tokyo. Ashley Rawlings is a writer specialized in postwar Japanese and Korean art, in particular the Mono-ha and Dansaekhwa movements. Sen Uesaki is an archivist and lecturer at the Keio University Art Center.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Impressionist movement, a selection of masterpieces traces the life and work of the two masters of 19th and 20th century art
This book delves into the lives and works of two painters instrumental in shaping the Impressionist movement, Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who went on to leave an indelible mark on the artists who came after them. Each developing their own particular style – Cézanne with an emphasis on rigour and geometry, Renoir a focus on harmony and softness – the two masters were pivotal figures of their time, from the last quarter of the nineteenth century into the early twentieth, from the inception of Impressionism to its peak. The two painters met in Paris in the 1960s and forged a lasting friendship based on mutual admiration, exploring questions about their art and cultivating shared interests in genres ranging from still life to landscape, portrait, and the nude. This book showcases masterpieces collected by art dealer Paul Guillaume, who recognized Cézanne and Renoir as pioneers of a style that was both classical and modern. After Guillaume passed away, his widow Domenica Walter continued to build the collection, which is today housed at the prestigious Musée de l’Orangerie and Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
• The book presents fifty masterpieces by Cézanne and Renoir (together with three modern paintings by Picasso and Kees Van Dongen) offering an exhaustive survey of the work of the two artists, from the first canvases of the 1870s to the mature works of the early 20th century.
Cécile Girardeau is conservator and curator at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris. Stefano Zuffi, an Italian art historian and exhibition curator, has published numerous books on art from the Renaissance to the 18th century.

A survey of the two decades between the mid 1880s and 1905
The term “Post-Impressionism” was coined in 1910 by Roger Fry, an English art critic who was trying to find an expression that could describe Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gauguin’s painting as well as Seurat, Sérusier, Denis or Redon’s. Post-Impressionism focuses on the two bubbling decades between the mid 1880s and the mid 1900s, from the last collective exhibition of the Impressionists in 1886 to the Autumn Salon of 1905 marked by the “Fauves” scandal: Derain, Matisse and Vlaminck, with their explosive colors. The book shows the full span of pictorial reactions to Impressionism with masterpieces from the musée d’Orsay, by insisting on the richness and complexity of the Post-Impressionist constellation. Taking a monographic and a group approach, the book seeks to highlight the intrinsic qualities of each painter’s work, and the interactions between these artists, who are part of the Impressionist legacy and will inspire avant-garde artists like Braque or Picasso. Rich in images and essays, the book delves into the art of this fascinating and pivotal double decade, during which plastic expression gradually moved away from the representation of reality towards the expression of the psychic, emotional and spiritual worlds of the artists.
• Organized by the musée d’Orsay at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, it follows the great exhibition “Impressionism: Pathways to Modernity” (2022-2023).

On the 50th anniversary of Picasso’s death, a book devoted to the progressive proofs by the leading Spanish master
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), this book explores in depth an aspect of the Spanish master’s late graphic output: the linoleum block or linocut. Published prints and their related proofs drawn from a notable private collection are examined in the context of themes Picasso developed over his entire career.
Starting with the illuminating set of eight progressive proofs made by Picasso and his printer Hidalgo Arnéra for the artist’s first published linocut, the socalled Cranach II (1958), the volume takes on a decade of work in linocut printmaking inspired by the South of France, where the artist had increasingly spent time since the 1940s. Speaking to the artist’s love affair with the region, he begins a series of linocuts depicting the bullfight. Eight proofs for the Pique II (1959) included in the book attest to this. Likewise, a proof for one of the Bacchanal series demonstrates his love of both the Côte d’Azur as well as for Classical Antiquity.
• Relatively little studied, published and exhibited, these prints provide an extraordinary opportunity to better understand the artistic process of Pablo Picasso, one of the world’s greatest artistic geniuses, and to examine one of printmaking’s most fascinating and demanding mediums, the linogravure.
Independent art historian, former museum director and president of Townsend Art Advisory LLC, Richard P. Townsend has guided the acquisition of major works of art for over thirty years. His experience ranges from old master and 19th-century paintings and drawings to modern and contemporary art, architecture and design. He has advised public and private collections around the US.

The graphic novel Atelier Picasso is the true and timeless story of the Spanish artist’s tailor Michele Sapone, whose life was entwined with that of the great master and many other celebrated artists.
Born in Italy in Bellona, near Caserta, Michele had an innate feeling for art. He became a tailor and moved to Turin in the 1930s; after the war, he settled with his family in Nice, France, where he discovered a fascinating world. He enjoyed a fraternal relationship with Picasso, Giacometti and Hartung, trading tailor-made clothes for artworks. As Sapone himself proudly declared: “I never accepted a penny from a painter”.
His daughter Aika inherited her father’s interests and grew up among his artist friends. She and her husband Antonio opened a gallery that was like a second home to the painters and sculptors who were part of the family. The first solo exhibition was devoted to Picasso himself, but he died just before it opened on 8 April 1973.
• A story of the close friendship between the artist and his tailor remains fresh and unexpected, especially if offered in the form of a graphic novel.
• Relatively new in Italy and France; almost totally unknown in other countries.

Jeddah, Red Sea Museum from Fall 2025
in collaboration with the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture
The Red Sea Museum catalogue embarks the reader on a cross-cultural journey along the Red Sea, exploring its dazzling beauty and rich diversity through time, stories, and coastline cities
The catalogue is inspired by the unique collection of the Red Sea Museum established by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture in Jeddah, the city that served as the Red Sea’s main port and whose identity was shaped by it. The museum is housed in the iconic Bab Al-Bunt heritage building, which used to be Jeddah’s customs house until the 1950s and has historically symbolized a junction point between dwellers of the Red Sea coast and the world, as Jeddah was a major gateway for pilgrims, merchants, explorers, and global travelers for centuries. Through a rare collection of manuscripts, photographs, maps, and ancient and contemporary artifacts and artworks, the Red Sea Museum and its catalogue recount the stories of the Red Sea and the paths of its dwellers.
The richly illustrated volume echoes the museum’s structure and the exceptional diversity of its collections through four sections: “Living Sea” uncovers the blooming biodiversity of the Red Sea; “Sea of Civilizations” looks at the role played by the Red Sea as a crossroads between East and West connecting various civilizations and geographies through trade, travel, and navigation; “Sea of Faith” allows the readers to travel through time to experience the journeys of the millions of pilgrims who came from all parts of the Islamic world and turned Jeddah into the Gateway to Mecca; “Sea of Inspiration” highlights the vision of modern and contemporary artists and writers on the Red Sea.
• The Red Sea Museum is a cultural and historical window that provides an extraordinary insight into the aesthetic, heritage, and civilizational values of the Red Sea as well as the history of human interactions and cross-cultural encounters that has shaped its identity.

Jeddah, Red Sea Museum from Fall 2025
Curated by writer Philippe Cardinal, Red Sea Museum’s inaugural exhibition The Gate of Gates showcases a unique collection of photographs by renowned Saudi artist Moath Alofi that revives the soul of Bab al-Bunt, in the heart of Jeddah. Located in al-Balad, for decades, Bab al-Bunt represented the main gateway through the Red Sea for millions of Muslim believers from around the world who traveled to Holy Mecca to perform their pilgrimage. Commissioned by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture to photograph Bab al-Bunt prior to its renovation and repurposing as a museum, Moath Alofi not only captures the rich architectural details of the place; he also encapsulates the sense of mystery behind the items he found abandoned in the building, objects of the past that recall another era and stand witness to the vitality of the place for hundreds of years.
The sober yet powerful photographs convey a striking impression of serenity and purity; a serenity that probably evokes the quietude of the millions of pilgrims who landed in Jeddah after a long and perilous journey across the Red Sea, awaiting to reach their final destination in the holy city.
• Through this unique corpus of photographs, Moath Alofi uncovers the genius of the place called Bab Al-Bunt, an architectural and historical jewel in the heart of Arabia.
Moath Alofi is a Saudi Arabian artist, researcher, photographer, and explorer. He is the founder of Almthba, an interdisciplinary studio promoting art and assisting researchers in the region of Medina. Philippe Cardinal is a writer and journalist, and former Cairo correspondent for Libération. Exhibition curator, he is also a researcher in Islamology.

An exceptional immersive journey across time and space to unravel the soul of this iconic building
Located in Al-Balad, Jeddah’s historic old town recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014, Bab Al-Bunt is a magnificent heritage building with a unique aesthetic, architectural, cultural, and historical significance. Serving as Jeddah’s customhouse until the 1950s, the building was an indispensable access point for traders whose dreams of opulence drove them to venture into the Red Sea and enter Arabia through Jeddah. But the over 100-year-old building was also a place where Muslim pilgrims from all over the world gathered before heading to Mecca. Bab Al-Bunt today hosts the Red Sea Museum established by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture to celebrate the aesthetic and heritage values of the Red Sea coastal cities.
Genius of a Place: Al-Bunt book series is an invitation to travel across time and space to unravel the soul of this iconic building. At the invitation of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture, five renown photographers and five international writers and poets from Saudi Arabia, the Arab region, and Europe have mobilized their talent to capture the essence and spirit of Al-Bunt. The result is an astonishing collection of rare images accompanied by a compelling narrative, that take the reader on a visual and historic voyage uncovering the “genius of the place” called Al-Bunt.
• Making sense of a “sense of place,” Genius of a Place: Al-Bunt offers a glimpse into an architectural and cultural trove in the heart of Arabia, giving the reader an opportunity to discover its unique charm.

The essence and memory of Saggaf Palace in Makkah
In the Genius of a Place: Saggaf Palace series, the Ministry of Culture showcases the historical and aesthetic significance of one of Saudi Arabia’s most iconic palaces – a site that has witnessed key moments in the nation’s history and remains deeply embedded in its collective memory.
Originally, the Saggaf Palace served as the headquarters of the Sharif of Makkah al-Mukarramah before passing into the ownership of the Saggaf family. It was later sold to King Abdulaziz bin Saud, before ultimately being chosen as the headquarters of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
To preserve the essence and spirit of this historic site for future generations, the Ministry of Culture commissioned photographers, writers, and poets from Saudi Arabia, the Arab region, and beyond to document the palace’s architectural and aesthetic significance. The initiative culminated in a unique collection of photographs and creative writings that bring the palace’s story to life, immersing readers in a rich visual and intellectual experience.

The art and science of chromaticism, featuring masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou Collection
Colours!, which relies on the Centre Pompidou’s collections, was designed from a surprising observation: as obvious as such a subject may seem, there are very few works devoted to the modern artistic use of colour. Through an original itinerary evoking the chromatic disks that fascinated artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Colours! also explores, through immersive rooms, the notion of synesthesia, that mysterious dialogue between sound, smell and visual perception. About one hundred masterpieces – from the early 20th century to the present day –punctuate this journey, raising the question of the “decorative”, inherent in the pictorial use of colour.
• Enriched by 13 essays written by researchers, historians, art historians, musicologists, art critics and Maison Fragonard’s nose, it rigorously explores the iconographic, symbolic and cultural reasons for modern chromaticism, relying on analyses by these specialists.
• Full-page reproductions of each of the works on display, created by Matisse, Magritte, Dalí, Dubuffet, Kooning, Delaunay or Picasso, foster a sensitive experience of colour.

The images of the decade-long performance based photographic project
The book is a landmark publication of photographs by American artist Linda Cummings. The book showcases over 60 high-quality duotone images spanning the decade from 1992 to 2003 and the last vestiges of analog photography. Cummings’ compositions toss expectation to the wind, transposing gender dynamics with a sleight of hand. The images convey Cummings’ innovative approach to photographic narrative through actions performed and photographed by the artist on-site, in locations as varied as steel mills, coal mines, churches, hospitals and stadiums, many long since disappeared. The photographs express the artist’s defiance, exuberance and anxiety amidst the upheavals of a declining industrial age and dawning of the digital era.
• All the photographs were taken on-site with an analog 35-mm manual film camera and printed by hand in a darkroom, with no manipulation post-capture.

In 5-Minute Bedtime Stories Maria Gvardeitseva has reimagined centuries of fairy tales and folklore from a feminist position. In her 21st-century iteration, female characters are no longer helpless princesses without agency; they are incarnations of women reborn with self-love and actualization. Using interviews with real women about their experiences of divorce, Gvardeitseva transforms these into magical tales of reinvention and rediscovery. Images of the author’s artworks are interspersed among the tales. Based on her research into the institution of marriage across several cultures, these artworks are by turns ghoulish and beautiful, creating the perfect visual companions to her ingenious texts. –Kathy Battista
• The book includes critical essays by prominent authors, archival materials, quotes from socio-philosophical and literary reviews of fairytales, and author’s illustrations.
Maria Gvardeitseva is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in London. Her work deals with memory and grief sublimation. She was a finalist in the national selection to create the exhibition for the Belarusian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022.

The computer as a new medium of expression for the artist
The book focuses on how the pioneers of yesterday and the emerging figures of today are depicting a meaningful history of the evolution of the homo digitalis. It aims to demonstrate that digital technology is a true medium of art opening infinite visual possibilities, rather than an experimental school or a fad art movement. Art Must Be Artificial highlights some of the specificities of this new art medium: how it has placed the viewer at the heart of the artistic experience and how it presents the dream of an unlimited artwork, close to an organic creation.
• The book presents the historical and current art practices of leading international and Saudi artists using computer technology, spanning from the 1960s until today.
Jérôme Neutres, leading expert in the field who theorized the concept of “Computing Art” has been Director of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux-Grand Palais and President of the Musée du Luxembourg.
From Henri Moore to Joan Miró and Giò Pomodoro: the extraordinary modern and contemporary sculptures belonging to the Fondazione Henraux
The Fondazione Henraux collection is dedicated to modern and contemporary art, featuring works by international artists such as Henry Moore, Jean Arp, Isamu Noguchi, Joan Miró, Pablo Serrano, Pietro Cascella and Giò Pomodoro. The original core of works was created in the 1950s and 1960s, when Henraux decided to focus on non-figurative statuary. In that process, it forged a close collaboration with the English sculptor Henry Moore, which gave rise to a highly-respected center for contemporary sculpture. The collection was comprised of a number of large and medium format works some of which were taken over by the Banca Commerciale Italiana, owner of the company. Since 2011, with the establishment of the Foundation, the collection has been enriched by new acquisitions, activities associated with the Premio Henraux, and initiatives to support artists and institutions.
• An opportunity to reflect on the marble sculpture of the great masters of the 20th century.

An essential resource for readers seeking to discover the brightest young talents from South Korea’s rich and dynamic art scene
This generously illustrated volume surveys the most talented artists to emerge from South Korea’s burgeoning art scene in the past decade. The 25 artists introduced in this book collectively foreground the facets of contemporary Korean culture that have enabled the country’s cultural exports to resonate so strongly worldwide. Comprising a representative cross-section of artists at the forefront of a generational shift in Korean art, this book brings readers up to speed on one of the most exciting and least understood segments of the art market today.
Encompassing fields of painting, sculpture, installation, video and photography, this book spotlights the diversity of contemporary Korean art practices while offering manifold points of access for readers. Inside, expansive full-color presentations of each artist’s oeuvre are accompanied by concise and approachable texts situating their artworks amid the global contemporary art conversation. Two newly commissioned essays offer deeper analysis of the social and cultural changes experienced by these artists during their formative years.
• Artists include: Hejum Bä, Jungki Beak, Haneyl Choi, Yun Choi, Heemin Chung, Soyoung Chung, Jongwan Jang, Hyunsun Jeon, Sojung Jun, Suki Seokyeong Kang, Ayoung Kim, Dew Kim, Heecheon Kim, Kyoungtae Kim, Seeun Kim, Sylbee Kim, Eunsae Lee, Eunsil Lee, Heejoon Lee, Kang Seung Lee, Woosung Lee, GaHee Park, Gwangsoo Park, Min Jung Song and Hyangro Yoon.
Andy St. Louis is a Seoul-based writer, editor, curator and consultant with more than a decade of experience in the field of contemporary Korean art.

NO RIGHTS OF RETURN
by Monica De Bei Schifano and Marco Meneguzzo
The first volume of the catalogue raisonné dedicated to Mario Schifano’s pictorial work explores the artist’s 1960s-production
The result of an over 14-year research conducted by Archivio Mario Schifano, the catalogue raisonné of the pictorial work of Mario Schifano (1934-1998) is the first and only scientific publication authorized by S.I.A.E. (Italian Society of Authors and Publishers) and recognized by the Heirs and the Archive that serves as the general catalogue of the Master’s works. This volume presents the artist’s works from 1960 to 1969 and includes more than 1,600 images and photographs, mostly unpublished, from Mario Schifano’s private archive as well as from all the most authoritative archives related to those years.
Besides being a catalogue raisonné scientifically compiled according to the strictest archival standards, the publication traces not only the artist’s work, but also his life, and the international atmosphere around him in Rome. Studio photographs, images of action and performance, alongside private photos with people he met and frequented during those years – such as the poet Frank O’Hara, Andy Warhol, Rolling Stones, Anita Pallenberg, Marianne Faithfull, Alberto Moravia, Dacia Maraini, Sandro Penna – contribute to make the excursus through the decade complete, rich and engaging. This is the period when Schifano created the series of so-called Monocromi, Esso and Coca Cola, Paesaggi anemici, Futurismo rivisitato, Vero amore, Tuttestelle, Oasi, Compagni Compagni.

Finally on the way, the Catalogue Raisonné of Ceramic Sculptures is the most complete and updated publication exploring this fundamental ambit of Lucio Fontana’s research and production. The result of a project shared with Enrico Crispolti, curator of the entire Catalogue Raisonné collection of Fontana’s work, this impressive publication is edited by Luca Massimo Barbero – eminent scholar specializing in Fontana’s oeuvre and curator of the Catalogue Raisonné of Works on Paper – in collaboration with Silvia Ardemagni and Maria Villa.
An essential and updated research tool, the volume is the result of the painstakingly accurate archiving and cataloguing activities carried out by Fondazione Lucio Fontana over more than 50 years, presenting a selection of about 2,000 ceramic works made between 1929-30 and 1966. Organized in chronological and thematic order, within the two formal “hemispheres” explored by Fontana’s extraordinary earthenware production – the Figurative and the Spatial –, works are accompanied by entries offering a precise listing of bibliographical and exhibition references.
• After the Catalogue Raisonné and the Catalogue Raisonné of Works on Paper, the complete catalogue of ceramic sculptures by Lucio Fontana.
Luca Massimo Barbero, curator and art historian, is Director of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini Istituto di Storia dell’Arte and Scientific Advisor for Fondazione Lucio Fontana. He has extensively studied post-war Italian and international art and curated numerous exhibitions and publications for major international museums.

edited by by Maria Cristina Mundici with Raffaella Roddolo and Maria Grazia Messina
The first catalogue raisonné of the work of the provocative artist, awarded a Leone d’Oro alla Carriera in 2003
Edited by Maria Cristina Mundici, with Raffaella Roddolo and Maria Grazia Messina, the catalogue raisonné of the works of Carol Rama analyzes fully, for the first time, the artist’s 70-year career, from 1936 to 2005.
A central and unique figure in the context of Italian art history, Carol Rama (Turin, 1918–2015) spanned the 20th century in a quest for experimentalism in both subject-matter and materials. Since the 2000s she began to be appreciated beyond Italy’s borders and her fame grew after 2015 also thanks to important retrospectives in Europe and the United States.
The catalogue would not have been possible without the vital support of the Fondazione Sardi per l’Arte. The first volume is devoted wholly to historical and critical writings by important scholars of the artist (Fabio Belloni, Maria Cristina Mundici, Raffaella Roddolo, Federica Rovati and Elena Volpato), who analyze her production with new ways of seeing. It is completed by a collection of 200 full-page colour images. The second volume consists in a complete set of illustrated technical and historical descriptions of the works, compiled by Raffaella Roddolo, as well as the accompanying reference sections (appendices, biography, exhibitions, bibliography).
• The most comprehensive catalogue of the artist’s work.
Maria Cristina Mundici, art historian, independent curator and author, is Scientific Director of the Archivio Carol Rama. From 1985–92 she was Head Curator at the Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea. Art historians, Raffaella Roddolo and Maria Grazia Messina are both members of the scientific committee of the Archivio Carol Rama.

Volume III of Enrico Castellani’s Catalogue Raisonné follows the two volumes published in 2012 documenting his production from 1955 to 2005 and completing the cataloguing of the production of the artist, who passed away in 2017. Organized in multiple sections, this volume collects works on canvas, sculptures, high reliefs, and installations registered at the Fondazione Enrico Castellani Archives, and not included in the first two volumes of the Catalogue Raisonné (Skira, 2012). Promoted by Fondazione Enrico Castellani and edited by Lorenzo Wirz Castellani and Federico Sardella with an interview with Enrico Castellani by Hans Ulrich Obrist, this publication, along with the two previous ones, represents the most comprehensive monograph dedicated to the artist’s work and, besides being an essential tool for the identification of his pieces, fully reflects the spirit and the practice of Enrico Castellani, whose final 10 years of work were particularly prolific.
• This third volume completes the cataloguing related to the works of the artist, who died in 2017.
Established in 2013 in compliance with the artist’s testamentary directions, Fondazione Enrico Castellani conducts study, expertise, and research activities to ensure the protection and preservation of Enrico Castellani’s artistic heritage. Chaired by Lorenzo Wirz Castellani and directed by Federico Sardella, the foundation partners with scholars, institutions, and museums in organizing exhibitions in Italy and abroad and in the realization of books about the artist.

foreword by Pico Iyer, with a text by Haely Chang and an interview between Michael Kenna and Édouard de Saint-Ours
This book explores Michael Kenna’s minimalist photography and its deep connections to Asian art and philosophy
Photographer Michael Kenna, internationally renowned as one of the contemporary masters of minimalist photography, has a deep attachment to Asia. Since his first visit to Japan in 1987, he has returned time and time again to capture the continent’s landscapes, examining them with his own distinctive, recognisable eye. What’s more, these numerous trips to Asia have had a significant impact on Michael Kenna’s photography.
This book provides a thematic retrospective of Michael Kenna’s work in Asia over the last 40 years. It explores the connection between his aesthetic and Asian art through formal dialogues between his photographs and works from the Chinese, Korean and Japanese collections of the Musée Guimet. More specifically, this book observes the influence of Asian arts in the photographer’s work, which is first and foremost stylistic: the choice of monochrome, the economy of means, the use of emptiness and the desire to suggest rather than describe evoke the ink paintings of Chinese scholars and Japanese Zen monks. It is also philosophical, with the same acceptance of slowness, the quest for perfection, the repetition of motifs, the asceticism of work and the spiritual dimension.
• A thematic retrospective of Michael Kenna’s 40-year journey through Asia.
• It explores the cultural and philosophical connections between Asian art and Kenna’s photography.
Édouard de Saint-Ours is curator of photographic collections at the Musée Guimet in Paris and curator of the exhibition. Haely Chang is curator of Asian art at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth.

A retrospective of Kenna’ s fifty-year career
For more than fifty years, Michael Kenna has tirelessly travelled the globe to capture its fragile beauty in strikingly intense black-and-white photographs. From England to France, Japan to the United States, the 122 photographs in this book constitute a perceptive and poetic constellation of his work.
Born to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Michael Kenna’s artistic career, Constellation features a curated selection of geographical subjects spanning the years from 1973 to 2024, a collection of photographic gems drawn from the artist’s extensive oeuvre, which has taken him across the globe over the course of his career.
• During Kenna’s fifty year career, his photographic prints have been shown in almost five hundred one-person exhibitions and over four hundred group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the world.
• Kenna’s photographs are also included in well over a hundred permanent institutional collections.
• The book is the catalogue of the fifty-year retrospective curated by Sabine Troncin-Denis in Nice.
Stéphane Tallon is the Director of the Musée de la Photographie Charles Nègre. Matthieu Rivalin is Head of the Photography Department at the Médiathèque du Patrimoine et de la Photographie (MPP). Sabine Troncin-Denis is Michael Kenna’s European agent.

The magic of Venice through the stunning images by the great photographer
Discover Venice anew through the lens of Michael Kenna. This stunning book offers an in-depth exploration of the British virtuoso’s black-and-white masterpieces, most of which are reproduced with the same format as the original prints. Kenna’s practice is characterised by long exposure times, which can last up to several hours, thus revealing unseen details within the Venetian landscape. His lens captures a wide array of subjects: mist-shrouded chapels and attics, falling stars above bell towers, palace arches, laundry threads, gondola prows, bridges, garden statues, twisted poles emerging from the black lagoon and reminiscent of ancient figures. Michael Kenna’s photographs skilfully play with light, shadow, and reflection to show the poetic intensity of Venice.
From solo exhibitions in prestigious museums to retrospectives that span continents, this compilation of Venetian imagery adds a new chapter to Kenna’s illustrious career. It stands as a testament to his unparalleled ability to capture the timeless allure of Venice, offering viewers a unique and immersive experience through the lens of an exacting master.
• First compilation of Michael Kenna’s photographs of Venice.

The book American Nature is the culmination of a twenty-year odyssey by one of America’s leading photographers. It represents both a political portrait of the nation during this pivotal time and an existential warning about a potentially cataclysmic future. Even though the threat of climate change is very real and it affects us daily, the causes and consequences are often hard to articulate, much less represent.
Mitch Epstein’s monumental achievement in his overarching work of the past two decades has been to communicate the intangible networks of production and power that threaten our environment and to listen to and record the visions of people in protest, as well as the gentle thrum of the enduring forest. American Nature features key selections from his three most recent projects: American Power (2003–09), Property Rights (2017–20), and Old Growth (2020–24). In each of these ambitious, multiyear series, Epstein’s goal was to describe the conflicts between American society and wilderness in the context of global climate change. In addition to these three major photographic projects, there are two new multimedia works: the monumental installation Forest Waves, devoted to the virgin forest of Massachusetts, and Clear Cut, a compilation of still images by early-twentieth-century photographer Darius Kinsey on the deforestation in the American Northwest.
• Epstein’s photographs are in major museum collections all over the world.

One
of David Wojnarowicz’s few incursions into photography is a testimony of urban, social and political change in New York in the late 1970s
During his first trip to France in 1978, David Wojnarowicz was keen to immerse himself in the Parisian environs where a century earlier the poet Arthur Rimbaud had tried to live as a runaway teenager in the hope of becoming a poet. Rimbaud’s short and peripatetic youth was memorialized in two volumes of poetry which, in addition to propelling French literature into modernity, have become obligatory reading to young poets across the globe, who, like him, find in poetry a path to transcend the ordinary. Rimbaud was an early model for Wojnarowicz, both for his experiments with poetic form and for his courage in defying the mores of his epoch. Upon his return to the United States, Wojnarowicz was able to put in historical perspective the situation of decay and economic depression that had spread aver the greater New York City starting in the mid-1960s, bringing the city to the brink of collapse. He could intuitively make a parallel between the situation that New York was going through and the state of anarchy that took over Paris during the years of the Commune in the early 1870s. This parallel also allowed him to understand his own predicament as the child of a disrupted household in the streets of New York at a very young age. Considered in this context, the series of photo-performances that Wojnarowicz produced in collaboration with a small coterie of friends between 1978 and 1979 stands as an important document of the era that not only gives us entry into the artist's state of mind at a turning point in his life-as he was making a transition from writing onto the visual arts-but also documents areas of New York City that have been radically transformed.
• A profound exploration of Wojnarowicz’s transition from writer to visual artist.
Antonio Sergio Bessa is chief curator emeritus at The Bronx Museum, New York, where he has organized several exhibitions, including Darrel Ellis: Regeneration (2023, in collaboration with Leslie Cozzi) and Jamel Shabazz: Eyes on the Street (2022).

Born in Jeddah in 1968, Reem Al Faisal is a documentary photographer who lives in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the entire world is her workspace, capturing the moments to be reflected in her artwork.
Her distinctive style is reflected in her photos expressing the spirituality and divine presence in nature and people’s life. Reem has a very strong visual culture that she developed with the bravery of a woman living in a conservative, closed, male-dominant society, one that she has penetrated with her educational intellect and her sense of community. She succeeds by using her lens as a means to express and record her memories of day-to-day life, previously only residing in her imagination. She documents them in the form of photographs stemming from the heart of people’s lives, and presents them to local, Arab and Western societies as a record full of life’s struggles on a global scale.
Featuring a wide selection of Reem Al-Faisal’s b/w photographs, the book highlights the diversity in the subjects of her photographs as she attempts to highlight human feelings in most of her images, along with the historical, artistic architecture of Arab and Islamic culture.
• Reem was the first female photographer to document the entire Hajj, the first Saudi photographer to do extensive work on the Muslim community of America, the first Saudi photographer to exhibit in Palestine, the first Arab photographer to exhibit in China and one of a few that photographed daily life in Iran.
• Her work has been exhibited in many countries around the world.

preface by Simon Baker, texts by Laurence Benaïm, Vince Aletti; with an interview with Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn by photographer David Seidner
A compelling insight into the life of one of the most iconic models in the world of 20th-century fashion
Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn (1911-1992) was a dancer, photographer, stylist and sculptor, but above all one of the most emblematic models of the 20th-century fashion world. She worked with the greatest fashion photographers of her time from 1935 to 1955: Richard Avedon, Erwin Blumenfeld, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Fernand Fonssagrives, Toni Frissel, Horst P. Horst, whose favourite model she was, George Hoyningen-Huene, Frances Mclaughlin-Gill, Irving Penn, Georges Platt-Lynes and John Rawlings. She was the first model to feature on the cover of Time magazine in September 1949. Wife of Irving Penn from 1950 until her death in 1992, she was, according to Alexander Liberman, artistic director of Vogue magazine, the subject of his greatest photographs.
The book features around 150 original vintage prints from her personal collection. Some of these images were published in Vogue France, Vogue US or Harper’s Bazaar, and many are previously unpublished, including a large number of photographs of Fernand Fonssagrives, her first husband, and more private portraits taken by Irving Penn.
• An intimate and astonishing collection of mostly unpublished photographs.
• Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, a name inseparable from fashion photography. With her timeless elegance, she is the embodiment and apotheosis of fashion, immortalised between the 1930s and 1950s by the world’s greatest fashion photographers.
Simon Baker is Director of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. Laurence Benaïm is journalist and writer, fashion specialist. Vince Aletti is curator, writer and art photography critic, notably for The New Yorker.

Carmen Dell’Orefice began her career at the tender age of fourteen when she appeared in Vogue. When she was fifteen, Salvador Dalí painted a portrait of her. Carmen has been a force in fashion ever since, working for the greatest photographers of all time, including Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Lilian Bassman, Norman Parkinson, and Francesco Scavullo.
Born in New York City on June 3, 1931, she was discovered by photographer Irving Penn, becoming a prominent figure in the fashion industry. Known for her striking beauty and timeless elegance, Carmen has graced the covers of major magazines, including Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She is often regarded as one of the longest-serving models in fashion history, having worked continuously for more than 70 years. Despite her age, Dell’Orefice has remained a symbol of grace and sophistication, challenging conventional notions of beauty in the modeling world. Throughout her career, she has represented brands, walked in runway shows, and remained an inspiration for many generations of models.
• A magazine-inspired book devoted to the iconic American model.
• A simple, modern, and yet elegant edition, iconic as the woman it is celebrating.
Fadil Berisha, photographer and long-time collaborator of Carmen Dell’Orefice, will guide the reader through this testament to their creative collaboration, focusing on Carmen from her 60s to her 90s and their prolific professional collaborations. Fadil is the former official cameraman for Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Rolex, and in his career, he has captured some of the world’s most breathtaking women and actresses, such as Halle Berry, and Sharon Stone, but none of them has ever beaten Carmen as his muse and model.

The magnificent Italian gardens and water features of the famous 16th-century villa in a spectacular photo book
Villa d’Este in Tivoli is the ultimate expression of an antiquarian garden in the Renaissance, the result of the genius of artists and intellectuals who conceived and realised monumental fountains, extraordinary grottoes, nymphaeums, basins, and luxuriant decorations.
The residence of Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, designed by Pirro Ligorio, was built from 1550 onwards on the foundations of an earlier Roman abode. The complex owes its majesty and importance to the presence of the Aniene River, whose flow has allowed human genius to explore the infinite artistic potential of water with marvellous visual and acoustic effects set in a unique context. All these characteristics have made the site of Villa d’Este, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001, the most famous of the “Gardens of Wonders”.
With the text by Andrea Bruciati, this spectacular photo-book presents stuning photographs documenting in detail this unique masterpiece of the Italian Garden as well as the interiors of the Villa, spread over two levels with grand rooms with unique designs, considered one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance.
• A stunning coffee-table book on an Italian masterpiece, its history and magnificent Italian gardens.
Andrea Bruciati is an art historian and director of Villa d’Este

The book explores a pivotal moment in art and culture in New York City
The radical changes that occurred in the three years between January 1962 and December 1964 had a profound effect on creative life in New York and around the world, altering not only the fine arts but everything from performance to music to design. Together with these creative innovations, the period from 1962 through 1964 saw a shift in the centre of artistic gravity from Europe to the United States and the rise of a new leadership in the arts, centred on a number of New York-based curators, gallerists, and other impresarios. Inspired by the scale and format of widely read magazines of the time such as Life and Look, this lavishly illustrated oversize paperback traces a detailed itinerary of artists and curators, experimental exhibitions and groundbreaking happenings, as well as historical and political events that transformed society during this explosive moment.
• The volume was conceived by the lead curator of the accompanying exhibition, Germano Celant, Artistic and Scientific Superintendent of the Prada Foundation, Milan. The book features interviews by Celant with Christo and Jim Dine with tributes by Claudia Gould and Michael Rock.
Germano Celant (1940-2020), widely influential Italian art historian, critic, and curator who coined the term Arte Povera, wrote more than one hundred publications, including both books and catalogues and curated hundreds of exhibitions in the most prominent international museums and institutions worldwide.

The fourth chapter of the celebrated series The Day May Break
The book is the fourth chapter of The Day May Break, Nick Brandt’s global series portraying people and animals impacted by climate change and environmental degradation. The series was photographed in Jordan, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. It features rural Syrian refugee families currently living there, whose lives have been seriously impacted by droughts intensified by climate change. The photographs show the families’ connection and strength in the face of adversity, that when all else is lost you still have each other. The boxes on which the families gather aim skyward, pedestals for those that in our society are typically unseen and unheard.
• As part of Nick Brandt’s The Day May Break series, this volume powerfully documents the human cost of environmental degradation.
Nick Brandt has had solo museum and gallery exhibitions around the world, including New York, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Paris and Los Angeles. Syrian novelist Samar Yazbek is the author of Where the Wind Calls Home and Planet of Clay Arianna Rinaldo is a photography curator and editor. Nadine Barth has been the editor for over 100 books on fashion, art, architecture, and photography.

The entire career of the American photographer
Devoted to Joel Meyerowitz (New York, 1938), one of the protagonists of contemporary photography, and produced in collaboration with the Joel Meyerowitz Photography Archive in New York, the book presents over ninety images organised in thematic sections and includes many of the photographs that have contributed to the redefinition of the concept of street photography, a genre in which Joel Meyerowitz introduces the use of colour to interpret and capture the complexity of the modern world. In the 1960s Meyerowitz emerged as one of the most interesting young avant-garde photographers in New York. The book also features Meyerowitz’s 1980s work, when he gradually shifted his gaze from the street to nature, or his evocative Still lives, or the photos he took in 2001 in the days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, up to the selfshots taken during the 2020 lockdown.
• An authoritative resource for both photography enthusiasts and scholars.
Artistic director of Stanze della fotografia, Denis Curti for more than fifteen years was the photographic critic for Corriere della Sera and he currently runs Black Camera on the Rolling Stone Italia digital platform.

A masterpiece of Lombard Baroque, begun in 1565, the ancient former Archiepiscopal Seminary was one of the oldest seminaries in Europe and the world. Today, thanks to a careful renovation project promoted by Lungarno Collection and designed by architects Michele de Lucchi and Michele Bönan, the former Seminary reopens to the city through the Portrait Milano project: an exclusive hotel and an authentic way to experience the heart of the city, with outstanding shopping, gastronomic offerings, and events. This refined photographic volume presents Portrait Milan, a new symbol of elegance and sophistication, discreet yet bold luxury, contemporary yet “timeless.”
• Stunning photography highlights the harmonious balance between historical architecture and contemporary interventions.
Luca Masia, an advertising creative and writer, works in fiction, television, theater dramaturgy, and corporate communication. He collaborated for nearly ten years with the Triennale di Milano and has written texts and books on art, design, and architecture.

The book explores the influence of Islamic art on the production of jewellery and precious objects by Cartier, from the early 20th century to the present day. Jewellery and objects from the Cartier collection, masterpieces of Islamic art, drawings, books, photographs and archival documents trace the diversity of sources that inspired the forms and motifs used in Cartier creations. Sometimes easily identifiable, at other times decomposed and recomposed to the point of rendering their source untraceable, motifs and forms from Islamic art and architecture have integrated the stylistic language of designers to the point of constituting part of Cartier’s repertoire to this day, illustrated by contemporary jewellery pieces that complete this journey. The mandorlas, palmettes, fleurons, rinceaux, sequins of Cartier jewellery are inspired in turn by motifs found in book bindings, oriental architecture and antique and contemporary jewellery purchased by Jacques Cartier during his expeditions to India.
A true immersion in Cartier’s creative process, this book documents the renewal of the iconic jewellery house’s forms and manufacturing techniques.
• A survey of the ways Islamic art has inspired Maison Cartier from the early 20th century to today.
Judith Henon-Raynaud is Chief Curator and Deputy Director of the Department of Islamic Art at the Musée du Louvre, Paris. Évelyne Possémé is Former Chief Curator of the Ancient and Modern Jewellery Department at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.

A selection of the most extraordinary diamonds of Golconda
The first publication to be exclusively dedicated to the diamonds of Golconda, this book presents a captivating, in-depth study combining history, geography, gemmology and mythology. The precious stones yielded over the centuries by India’s legendary Golconda mines have fascinated and intrigued the entire world. They are certainly among the most coveted gems by collectors today. This work reviews in detail Golconda’s most famous diamonds, including the Koh-iNoor, the Hope and the Sancy, exploring the stories and secrets of each. Through meticulous research and exciting stories, Capucine Juncker takes us on a unique and dazzling journey that begins in ancient India, continues to the European courts and ends with a magnificent panorama of contemporary creations.
• Despite the uniqueness of Golconda diamonds, due to their ancient cut, they have never been fully studied. This book fills that editorial gap.
• It also focuses on the region’s most famous gems, those in major public and private collections, as well as on pieces that have disappeared.

Murano glass production at the prestigious Venetian event from the 1910s to the 1930s
Size 28 × 30 cm (11 × 12 in.)

ISBN 978-88-572-5204-9 £ 65.00, $ 80.00
The presence of Murano glass at the Venice Biennale dates back to the early twentieth century when these precious, fragile artefacts were occasionally exhibited at the event. It was only from the 1910s onwards that glass works were exhibited on a regular basis as objects in their own right, appearing in the rooms of the central pavilion from 1912 to 1930. It was not until 1932 that glass and the decorative arts were given their own dedicated space in the Giardini with the construction of the Venezia pavilion.
This volume examines this significant period which saw Murano glass gradually finding its place at the Venice Biennale, first through the artists choosing to use this material for their works, and later through the glassworks, sometimes drawing upon the creativity of painters and sculptors.
This catalogue, which is the result of extensive bibliographic and documentary research in the Biennale historical archive, as well as in public and private archives, features period photographs, drawings, and documents, many previously unpublished, showcasing the works exhibited in the various Biennales. This glass production is exemplified through a careful selection of over 130 works by artists and glassmakers who played a leading role in a historical moment marking the entry of a so-called minor art into the realm of major arts.
• From the series “Le Stanze del Vetro”, a new must title for glass lovers.
Born into one of the oldest families of Murano glass masters, Marino Barovier is considered one of the greatest connoisseurs of 20th and 21st-century glass. Carla Sonego, an expert on the history of 20th-century Murano glass, collaborates on exhibitions, books and catalogues on the subject.

in innovation
Today the word “pullman” has come to mean “a railroad passenger car with especially comfortable furnishings for day or night travel.” But before the word entered the mainstream, it was a name, that of George Mortimer Pullman (1831–1897), a serial entrepreneur, an extraordinary innovator, and one of the cleverest businessmen of America’s Gilded Age. Pullman gave his name first to a coach, then to a train, and finally to a notion, that of luxury travel.
This book retraces the history of Pullman, from the genius innovation of overnight travel, dining wagons, and sleeper beds to a globally recognized brand synonymous with pioneer engineering, premium mobility, and lavish “hotels on wheels.” Pullman’s history is closely tied with the history of 20th-century United States, yet it extended its influence across the world.
• The history of an iconic brand for traveling in style and comfort.
• Pullman became synonymous with the golden age of US railroad travel in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
• The 19th-century definition of luxury long-distance travel.

Having exhibited the most iconic works by famous designers – from Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Ettore Sottsass to Ron Arad, Isamu Noguchi, and Choï Byung –, Laffanour Galerie Downtown Paris has imposed itself locally and internationally as a major reference in design. Focusing on showing a selection of the best objects and pieces of furniture ever designed, this book also testifies to the high-level quality of the gallery’s curatorial work. With exhibitions recreating entire spaces of living, smart staging allows a wonderful immersive experience through the most refined interiors. As the gallery participates in the most renowned art fairs, pictures of its booths are also displayed in the book.
• A book recounting 40 years of activity of the leading design gallery and gathering works by the most famous and iconic designers.
• Laffanour Galerie Downtown Paris is specialized in the work of 20th-century European and American masters of architecture and design. Since its opening in the early 1980s, the gallery has been organizing thematic and monographic exhibitions on designers such as Le Corbusier, Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, Pierre Jeanneret, and Jeanne Royère.
Anne Bony is a French art historian specialized in design. François Laffanour is the founder of Laffanour Gallery Downtown Paris.

Celebrated in the 1930s, controversial and forgotten during the postwar period, and finally rediscovered today, Piero Portaluppi was an undisputed protagonist of 20th-century Italian architecture. An eclectic protagonist who steered clear of specific styles and schools, a master of hydroelectric architecture, and a great town planner whose projects changed the face of Milan.
Produced in collaboration with the Fondazione Piero Portaluppi, this new exhaustive monograph comprises a large photo album with new colour images of Portaluppi’s architectural projects and interiors, taken by the well-known photographer Ciro Frank Schiappa; three previously unpublished essays, illustrated with vintage photos by Antonio Paoletti; views and models of Portaluppi’s projects; items documenting his personal interests (cartoons, diagrams, sundials, postcards, newspaper cuttings). The volume also features an interview with Portaluppi’s nephew, architect Piero Castellini, by the famous film director Luca Guadagnino; an unpublished essay by architect Paolo Portoghesi; a biography of Piero Portaluppi by Jacopo Ghilardotti; a list of works and a bibliography compiled by Ferruccio Lupi, conservator at Fondazione Piero Portaluppi.
• This monograph, produced in collaboration with Fondazione Portaluppi, features a new photographic campaign and previously unpublished essays.
Piero Maranghi, great-grandson of Piero Portaluppi, is Director of the Fondazione Portaluppi. Ciro Frank Schiappa (Dublin, 1971) is an Italian photographer. His works have been displayed in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide.

Drawing from multiple disciplines, architect Peter Lynch describes a distinct approach to design and composition—what he terms “holding together”
Fragments and Coherence presents writings and works by Peter Lynch, an architect and researcher based in Stockholm. It is both a monograph of original projects and a gentle manifesto on complexity and coherence in architecture. The author draws examples from music, poetry, painting, and landscape architecture to develop his notion of “holding together,” a compositional approach that derives the structure of a work from the character of its heterogeneous parts. Beethoven’s Late Quartets, T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land,” Marcel Duchamp’s assemblage “The Large Glass,” Hadrian’s Villa, the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, Eileen Gray’s Villa E-1027, John Hejduk’s “Victims” projects, and Peter Lynch’s own Timescape Garden are some of the examples explored in depth. The book proposes a relationship between this way of making things and philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s notion of singularity. Works made up of disjunct elements, reconciled with each other according to their natures, are often singular: examples of themselves alone, not encompassed by any category or rule.
Former head of the graduate department of architecture at Cranbrook Academy of Art and guest professor at Penn State University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Peter Lynch has taught at Harvard, Columbia, Rhode Island School of Design, City College of New York, and Parsons School of Design.
• This collection of projects and critical essays draws on Peter Lynch’s thirty years’ experience in architecture research, teaching, and practice.
Sergio Martín Blas is a PhD architect, professor and researcher at the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Madrid. Yael Hameiri Sainsaux, architect, educator, and scholar, is the creator and curator of “Conceiving the Plan” exhibition and publication first on view at the Italian Pavilion of the 17th Venice architectural Biennale.

“A building with movement at its heart.”– Financial Times “A museum of migration celebrates people on the move.”– The New York Times
Fenix overlooks the docks of Rotterdam, connecting Europe with the world. The once-largest warehouse ever built, dating back to 1923, has been transformed into a museum with a double-helix staircase that spirals skywards to a viewing platform above the roof.
MAD designed the Tornado, with its swirling form, appearing to be in motion – echoing the movements and stories of the quays below, where the lives of millions took a new turn.
• The official book of FENIX, a major new museum inspired by stories of global migration.
• A museum whose design is in dialogue with the existing building and its surroundings and with a past of stories of migration, memories and uncertainty.
• “FENIX’s story is Rotterdam’s. And its story is the world’s: one of arrivals and departures, and of constant change to face the future. In its landmark new home, FENIX will inspire a profound new curiosity about the world we live in.”
– Anne Kremser, Director
Anne Kremers is the Director of FENIX Museum of Migration in Rotterdam.

The transformative influence of three pioneering women on the development of the postmodern city
The book focuses on the impact of women on the postmodern city. To do so, it focuses on the personal and professional trajectories of three protagonists who, each in their own way, shaped the intellectual and physical environment of their city: American journalist and architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable and Canadian and Italian architects Phyllis Lambert and Gae Aulenti. All three share an ambivalent relationship with the concrete-and-steel architecture of the post-World War II modern movement, which was widely criticized in the 1960s for being alienating, standardized and anhistorical. Ada Louise Huxtable, through her articles in the New York Times architecture column; Gae Aulenti, with her conversion of the Gare d’Orsay into a museum and the Piazzale Cadorna in Milan; and Phyllis Lambert, with her philanthropic work and the founding of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in 1979. Architecture is no longer seen through the prism of aesthetics, but through that of the cultural and environmental enhancement of public spaces. Through documentary and archival images, this catalogue documents this turning point in architectural history, when modernity returned to the architectural values of the past and the existing built environment. It also takes a more individual and biographical approach, crossing the paths of three women who played a major role in the construction of the post-modern city.
• Through the personal and professional journeys of Ada Louise Huxtable, Phyllis Lambert and Gae Aulenti, the book sheds light on how these women shaped the environments of their respective cities, challenging and redefining architectural norms.
Catherine Bédard is an art historian, curator and art critic, and a specialist in contemporary Canadian art. Léa-Catherine Szacka is associate professor in architectural studies at the University of Manchester.

A monograph on Sarfati’s entire architectural output
Alain Sarfati is one of the leading figures in modern-day architecture. He excels in working imaginatively within strict constraints – the secret of his success. He breaks new ground, dazzling us with his dexterity again and again. He exalts diversity, never allows himself to be confined to any one trend. His freedom of expression catches us off guard, his style is bursting with creativity, and his architectural designs flow from deep reflection, are eclectic, observing no formal limits. His vision is all-encompassing: he is as interested in places as in landscapes or buildings; nevertheless, his self-discipline still leaves room for fantasy.
• Sarfati’s work is a celebration of diversity and freedom, never bound by a single architectural trend.
• His architectural philosophy goes beyond buildings to embrace landscapes and places.
Francis Rambert is a French architecture critic. Jean-Claude Ribaut is an architect. Thierry Grillet is the Director of Cultural Affairs at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Christophe Leray is the founder of Chroniques d’Architecture

More than fifty years of work by the American artist and architect
The book presents more than five decades of visionary work in art, design, environment, and education by James Wines— artist, architect, and founder of SITE, an environmental arts organization established in New York City in 1970. Featuring rarely seen archival photography, drawings, and essays, this richly illustrated book invites readers to explore Wines’ and SITE iconoclastic critiques and creative redefinitions of art, architecture, and urbanism. More than a retrospective monograph, What Else Could It Mean? is a forward-thinking call to action to address the challenges of our time with wit and imagination. Wines’ work spans visual art, architecture, landscape, and public space design, all rooted in a creative response to their surrounding contexts.
• The book offers an in-depth look at over five decades of James Wines’ groundbreaking work in art, architecture, and environmental design with his practice – SITE.
Phillip Denny is an architectural historian and editor; his writing on architecture and design has been featured in Volume, Metropolis, Harvard Design Magazine, The New York Times, Architectural Digest, and other publications.

The connection between Leonardo da Vinci’s visionary designs, Renaissance engineering, and modern biomimicry, highlighting how nature has inspired technological innovation across centuries
The book explores the concept of biomimicry by establishing a dialogue between the work of Leonardo da Vinci and Renaissance engineers on the one hand, and contemporary researchers on the other. It shows the way in which the living can be a source of inspiration for our technological future, and the extent to which the Renaissance, with its innovative vision and deep connection to nature, understood this. Biomimicry brings together original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, models of machines based on the artist’s drawings – an ornithopter, a mechanical dragonfly, a flying sphere, a bat’s wing, an aerial screw – Renaissance manuscripts, biomimetic robots. In this way, it highlights the extraordinary modernity of Leonardo da Vinci’s work on materials, animal anatomy, bird and fish behaviour, physics and fluid dynamics, and locomotion techniques. It brings together history, art, technology and current scientific developments in a crossdisciplinary approach.
• This book connects the groundbreaking work of Renaissance masters like Leonardo da Vinci with contemporary research in biomimicry, offering a unique perspective on how nature can inspire modern technology.
• The book presents essays by curators, historians, engineers, biologists and architects.
Pascal Brioist is Professor of Modern History at the University of Tours. Andrea Bernardoni is historian of technology at the Museo Galileo in Florence.

Leonardo da Vinci ’s works, the Renaissance and its perfumes
This exhibition catalogue is a journey into the perfumes of the Renaissance, through the daily life of Leonardo da Vinci and the legacy of his mother Caterina, who came from the shores of the Black Sea where she was sold as a slave. The book delves, among other things, into the scents of this brilliant era: the spices, incense and musks of Constantinople, the perfumed costumes of Venice, Florence, Milan and the court of Francis I of France. The book highlitghts the plants of the Tuscan master’s childhood, such as olive, jasmine, juniper, lemon and orange tree, as well as the smells of the workshop, walnut and linseed oils, rabbitskin glue, resins, waxes and fats. Leonardo himself concocted fragrant recipes, from the most delicate to the most intense, using enfleurage and distillation techniques.
• A dialogue between perfumes, paintings, costumes, statues and reconstitutions of objects designed by Leonardo, such as an alambic or the famous amber necklace from The Lady with an Ermine
• The book includes texts by seventeen contributors who are art historians, historians and 3D-reconstruction experts.

Leonardo anatomist and relevance of his great Renaissance mind
This publication on Leonardo da Vinci the anatomist highlights the mystery of a thought that was both anchored in its time and, combined with a totally new practice (dissection), leading to a new understanding of the nature of life.
Da Vinci was not content with a passive description of the human body; he sought to penetrate the secrets of its functioning by first studying the mechanics of humans (bones, muscles, tendons), then the logic of the senses, and finally all the bodily functions, which led him to use qualitative reasoning. Contrary to popular belief, Leonardo did not carry out his dissections in secret, but in complete agreement with the political and religious authorities, until his materialistic ideas came into conflict with the pontifical authorities, particularly with regard to embryology. The originality of the book is to show how Leonardo’s work as an anatomist and his work as a painter are inseparable.
• The book features originals or copies of Leonardo’s sheets with objects (anatomical waxes, facsimiles of dissecting instruments), books studied by the artist and 3D reconstructions.
Dominique Le Nen is professor at the University of Nantes and orthopaedic surgeon. Pascal Brioist, historian, is professor at the University of Tours.

The ukiyo-e masters brought together in a volume that illustrates Japan’s “floating world” between the 17th and 19th century
The so-called Edo period (1603–1868) was extremely productive for Japan from a historical and artistic standpoint; later its influence would extend beyond the archipelago, as far as the West, where it gave rise to a real passion for Japanese aesthetics and culture. The term ukiyo-e, which translates as “pictures of a floating world,” refers to the woodblock colour prints that were first created in the Edo period by combining the talents of painters like Utamaro, Hokusai, and Hiroshige with the absolute mastery of block carvers and printers. These prints are the highest aesthetic expression of what could be called a “culture of pleasure,” pervaded by the awareness that the beauties of life must be enjoyed to the full because they are bound to end. The book offers a chance to discover the world of Japanese ukiyo-e prints through over 300 works by some of the most important artists, and the themes that characterize them: from elegant female beauties to delicate flowers and birds, famous kabuki actors, valiant samurai, and even erotic subjects with their insouciant celebration of love.
• From nature to theatre, from samurai to geisha and erotic subjects, a detailed survey of famous ukiyo-e artists along with over 300 masterpieces.

The book reveals the next chapter in the evolution of the collection of the Arab world’s first universal museum
The title Birth of a Collection was conceived as a follow-up volume to Birth of a Museum (published 2013) and provides insight into the development of the Louvre Abu Dhabi collection over the past decade. Featuring the most exceptional recent acquisitions, the book is divided into four chronological chapters which follow the order of the museum’s permanent galleries: The Ancient World; The Medieval World; The Early Modern World; The Modern and Contemporary World. It explores topics such as the birth of the figure in art, the crossroads of civilisations and cultural exchanges, objects and representations of power, and emerging art scenes. This 300-page book presents over 200 artworks and objects with scholarly essays and descriptions from approximately 35 different authors – all specialists in their respective fields as art historians, archaeologists, curators and museum professionals. Showcasing 10 years of meticulously curated acquisitions that reinforce Louvre Abu Dhabi’s universal narrative, this beautifully illustrated volume offers a new way to engage and connect with the artworks, providing a deeper understanding of the collection.
• A unique exploration of Louvre Abu Dhabi’s innovative presentation of human creativity from the dawn of time to the present day.
• An in-depth presentation of how masterpieces from around the globe are brought together in dialogue, rather than separated by geography.
• The publication is a co-edition between Louvre Abu Dhabi and Skira.
Guilhem André is a curator of Asian art and serves as Scientific, Curatorial and Collection Management Director of Louvre Abu Dhabi. He previously worked as a curator at the Musée national des arts Asiatiques in Paris. André holds a PhD in Philosophy from the Sorbonne and studied at the Universities of Peking and Sichuan.

Located at the crossroads of continents, AlUla has been a fantastic meeting point for civilizations who left behind an abundant heritage. For centuries, its oasis has been a crossing point for caravans on the Incense trade route connected Asia, Africa and Europe, transiting spices, myrrh, cotton, ebony and silk.
The oasis city, once named Dedan, has successively been ruled by Ancient North Arabian Kingdoms, then by the Nabataeans, an ancient civilization of Arabian merchants, founded the ancient city of Hegra – sibling of Petra – whose flagship site Madain Saleh, listed as Unesco world heritage since 2008, houses 138 rocky tombs, sanctuaries, wells, decorated frontages, etc.
Then the Roman Empire annexed the Kingdom and marked AlUla Valley with Greek and Latin influence, before Muhammad’s arrival in 630 A.D. during his campaign against the Byzantine army.
Carrying the memory of their predecessors, in the 13th century Muslims reused the stones of the Dedanite and Lihyanite ruins to build what we call today the Old Town of AlUla. All these civilizations stamped the region with their unique culture, leaving exceptional archaeological sites for posterity.

The power and role of fashion from the 18th century to the present
The book explores the multiple roles which fashion plays in establishing, reinforcing, and challenging power dynamics within society. Published in tandem with The Museum at FIT exhibition of the same title, Power Mode: The Force of Fashion is divided thematically into five chapters that focus on the impact of military uniforms, suits, status dressing, resistance, and sex on the power of fashion. It takes an object-based approach to investigate how certain garments have come to be culturally associated with power, as well as how their meanings have evolved over time. It also examines how fashion designers have interpreted these stylistic archetypes – both to convey and to subvert power. Texts by exhibition curator Emma McClendon are joined by object-based essays from renowned fashion scholars Valerie Steele, Christopher Breward, Jennifer Craik, and Peter McNeil, as well as Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Robin Givhan. The book also includes an essay by Kimberly M. Jenkins on the intersection of race, fashion, and power. This collection of texts offers readers a variety of perspectives to help form a theoretical framework for considering the power dynamics inherent in fashion objects.
• Founded in 1969 by the Fashion Institute of Technology, The Museum at FIT is a specialized fashion museum famous for its innovative and award-winning exhibitions.
• MFIT is one of the few university museums to receive accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.
Emma McClendon is Associate Curator of Costume at MFIT.

The book describes how Campari’s passion for art and its creativity are closely bound up with its need and desire to communicate and innovate. From the outset, the brand’s predilection for the cinema has constituted the engine of its experimental approach, which has seen it come up with ever-changing, unexpected projects. The essays in the book encapsulate Campari’s cinematic experiences from a wide-ranging perspective that pans out to take in the history of film.
• From Fellini to Sorrentino: Campari and the world of Cinema.
Gianni Canova, film critic, television author, art director and writer, is Full Professor of Film History and Filmology and Rector of IULM University in Milan.

The book is a fascinating journey through the portrait of this famous filmmaker, the master of suspense and thrillers. It explores the psychology of the characters, the most memorable scenes and Alfred Hitchcock’s personality. What emerges is the portrait of an extraordinary filmmaker who was able to tackle gloomy topics and manage our fears without forgetting irony, a fundamental component to his entire existence.
• An analysis in search of the person who was able to create some of the most important iconic moments in film history.

A book on film narrated through the visual magic of graphic design or a graphic design book told through the evocative magic of cinema. The goal of Minimal Film lies in representing the emotion of cinema through extreme synthesis and simplicity of forms. Shortology is a direct language that can narrate anything through pictograms. This has allowed the author to see cinema from a different perspective, reinterpreting and reviewing it up to isolating its very essence.
• A small “gem” for all film lovers.
Matteo Civaschi, art director and graphic designer, created Shortology, with sixteen books published across the world.
edited by Carlo Pellegatti and Umberto Zapelloni
The book traces the history of the leading Italian soccer team AC Milan, from its beginnings to the present. Always Milan!, a team of joys and emotions, victories and triumphs on pitches around the world, a club of players who have brought honour to the shirt, an infinite number of champions who have given us so much entertainment and enjoyment, for that is the story told in these pages that overflow with love for our colours, for the red and black of AC Milan!
Carlo Pellegatti is a sports journalist and commentator. Umberto Zapelloni, sports journalist, has been deputy director of La Gazzetta dello Sport
FC Barcelona is a club like no other. A club with 120 years of history that has become the reference sports center in the world. Barça has some signs of identity that have lasted over time and have become strong through successes and adversities.
Through the book’s pages and images, the reader will delve into the victories obtained by its most emblematic players and coaches, and will discover the evolution and social impact of a club that has managed to transcend the sports field and become a global phenomenon. Endowed with a great visual content and luxuriously produced, the volume portrays in a different and innovative way the complete history of FC Barcelona, from its origins to our days.
edited by Javier Zanetti and Nicolas Ballario

Italy and its art explained by a European 18th-century traveller
• For kids from 8 years old.
Did you know that from the 1700s onwards travelling to Italy was an important stage in the cultural and human development of young Europeans? The Italian cities – Rome in particular, but also Venice, Florence, and Sicily – were destinations for all those who wanted to complete their education through direct contact with art and classical culture. This travel was called the Grand Tour and we want to introduce it again to our younger readers through this book with captivating illustrations, interesting activities, and unexpected discoveries.
Stefano Zuffi is an art historian, exhibition curator, and writer. He has curated over a hundred books and several cultural series for the general public, especially focusing on the artists and works of both the Renaissance and the Baroque ages. A feature writer in specialized magazines and a guest on radio shows, he has curated numerous exhibitions of modern and ancient art.

A children’s picture book that tells the adventures of Naham in the Red Sea. A child like many others, Naham is nine years old and lives in Jeddah, a city on the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. Together with his fisherman uncle, they spend hours at sea.
While Naham spends most of his time by the Red Sea, he doesn’t know the magic it entails. Until one night, amazed by the magical bioluminescent fish, he falls into the water, gets sucked into the depths, and brought before the Genius Loci who guides him to discover the wonders of the sea.
His adventures include going to school with other fish, cheering at a Marlyn speed race, and even attending a magnificent party!
But more importantly, Naham learns to respect and care for this underwater world so close to us yet still unknown.
• A children’s book to discover the magic underwater world of the Red Sea.
Raja Alem, Saudi journalist, novelist and author of children’s books, is considered one of the most important Arabic-language writers of her generation and was awarded several prizes, including the Arabic Women’s Creative Writing Prize on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of UNESCO in 2005, the Lebanese Literary Club Prize, in Paris in 2008 and the prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF) in 2011. Giulia Masia, illustrator, has been nominated for some important illustration awards, such as the Annual Illustratori Italiani, 3x3 Annual (USA) and CQ Journal awards. She was among the 50 award-winning illustrators at the Golden Pinwheel Young Illustrators Competition. With Skira she published the graphic novel Atelier Picasso.
