DALÍ AND FASHION
edited by Laura Bartolomé Roviras, Judith Clark and Montse Aguer Teixidor with the collaboration of Bea Crespo and Lucia Moni
Size 24 × 30 cm (9½ × 11¾ in.) 344 pages 365 colour illustrations flexibound ISBN 978-88-572-5599-6 £ 60.00, $ 80.00 PUBLICATION January 2027 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Milan, Palazzo Reale 24 September 2026 31 January 2027
An unprecedented journey into the world of Salvador Dalí through the language of fashion, between Surrealism,identity, and contemporary imagination
Fashion is a distinctive aspect of Salvador Dalí’s multifaceted artistic practice, one of the many fields in which the eclectic creativity of the Catalan artist found expression. The result of a collaboration with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, the leading institution dedicated to the preservation, study, and promotion of Dalí’s work, Dalí and Fashion offers a new perspective on the relationship between Surrealism and material culture. It reveals the complexity of an artist who did not merely influenced fashion but anticipated some of its most pressing contemporary issues: the construction of identity, the spectacularization of the image, the dialogue between art and consumer culture, and the power of creativity to reinvent reality. Dalí and Fashion features over two hundred works, including paintings, drawings, iconic garments, photographs, and archival documents, which illustrate not only the intertwining of Dalí’s artistic practice with fashion, but also his creative and personal relationship with some of the most significant figures in this world: from his personal friendships with Elsa Schiaparelli and Gabrielle Chanel to the projects developed with Christian Dior and Paco Rabanne. These works highlight Dalí’s contribution to redefining the languages of visual communication, performance, and the imagery of contemporary fashion, a creative legacy that continues to serve as a point of reference for the creative directors of leading international fashion houses. Laura Bartolomé Roviras is deputy director of Research and Projects at the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí. Judith Clark is a fashion historian and professor at the University of the Arts London. Montse Aguer Teixidor is director of Dalí Museums. Bea Crespo and Lucia Moni are senior curators at Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí. • A surprising and inspiring side of Salvador Dalí exploring his powerful and lasting relationship with fashion. 6

FRANCIS PICABIA OPEN THE GATES OF NIGHT edited by Anne Berest Picabia
Size 24 × 30 cm (9½ × 11¾ in.) 372 pages 357 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5583-5 £ 60.00, $ 80.00 PUBLICATION February 2027 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Milan, Palazzo Reale 9 October 2026 24 January 2027
An intimate perspective revealing Picabia’s life and work through the metaphor of the night
Francis Picabia (1879–1953) is one of modern art’s most complex and elusive figures – an artist whose work remains, even today, largely uncharted territory. “To have clean ideas you have to change them like shirts”: across a lifetime of restless reinvention, Picabia surged through Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, Dadaism, Surrealism and Abstractionism, before closing his career in dialogue with the Informel. Refusing allegiance to any single movement, he fused styles and themes at will, leaving behind a body of work so stylistically divergent it seems the product of many hands rather than one restless mind. Curated by acclaimed writer Anne Berest (the artist’s great-granddaughter), this landmark publication brings together over 170 works from major international public and private collections. Structured in twelve sections built around the theme of night as a metaphor for life, it offers the most complete portrait yet of Picabia’s career, tracing his eclectic style and inviting readers deep into his world — by day, and above all by night. As Berest writes, “Picabia lived by day and by night, to live twice as long as others.” With incisive essays by leading voices including Bernard Marcadé and Eva Ionesco, alongside paintings, works on paper, drawings, videos and rare archival material, this book pulls back the curtain on Picabia’s intimate, enigmatic universe, revealing the full measure of an artist who never stopped reinventing himself. Anne Berest Picabia, a writer and the artist’s great-granddaughter, is a celebrated French novelist and screenwriter. Author of nine books, she has won the Prix Renaudot des Lycéens (2021), the Grand Prix des Lectrices de ELLE (2022) and the Choix Goncourt USA (2022), and was a Prix Goncourt finalist in 2021. • A visual masterpiece, not just a biography – over 150 works reproduced in stunning detail, making this the most richly illustrated volume ever devoted to Picabia’s universe. 8

SIMON HANTAÏ THE LAST STUDIO edited by Anne Baldassari
Skira / Gagosian Size 28 × 24 cm (11 × 9½ in.) 136 pages 160 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5572-9 £ 50.00, $ 65.00 PUBLICATION January 2027
Hantaï’s last studio: discovering a modern myth
EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Gstaad, Gagosian 9 July 27 September 2026
The book features sixteen of Hantaï’s dernier atelier (“last studio”) paintings of 1982–85, distinguished by vibrantly colored abstract forms derived from a combination of folding and dripping techniques. Simon Hantaï (1922-2008) was the originator of the pliage (folding) technique, in which a canvas is crumpled and knotted, painted over, then spread out to reveal alternations between pigment and reserve. After representing France at the 1982 Biennale di Venezia, he withdrew from public life, declining to exhibit new work until 1998, and it was during this period that the last studio works were produced. Anne Baldassari notes that Hantaï spent the period from 1960 to 1982 “seeking, as Pollock had, to attain a boundlessness of painting via the continuous expansion of its formats.” The origin for this publication was Baldassari’s extensive research into photographic portraits of Hantaï at work, taken by his close friend Édouard Boubat at the artist’s own request. In the context of the last studio, Boubat’s shots function as a guide to Hantaï’s series and sub-series, revealing aspects of their development, chronology, and display. Hantaï did not show the last studio paintings during his lifetime, and their hybrid process and polychromic surfaces reflect the freedom from the restrictions of the art market and museum world. Anne Baldassari is a French art historian, curator, and specialist in modern and contemporary art. Former president of the Musée Picasso in Paris, she curated numerous international exhibitions and authored catalogues and essays on twentieth-century art. In 2022, she curated Hantaï’s retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, which incorporated a spectacular evocation of the artist’s last studio. • Co-published by Gagosian and Skira, the first in-depth study on this long-unseen chapter of Hantaï’s oeuvre, with an extensive portfolio of unpublished photographs by Édouard Boubat. 10

ARCH HADES RETURN / RITORNO
with an introductory essay by Rebecca Anne Proctor
Size 26 × 22 cm (10¼ × 8½ in.) 112 pages 110 colour illustrations accordion binding with slipcase ISBN 978-88-572-5568-2 £ 40.00, $ 55.00 PUBLICATION January 2027 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Venice, Scoletta Battioro e Tiraoro 7 May – 30 October 2026
New large-scale works by artist and poet Arch Hades, on the occasion of her solo exhibition in Venice, running alongside the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia
Featuring site-specific painting, immersive sculpture and an installation soundscape, Return | Ritorno draws us into Hades’ ethereal interior worlds to explore themes of vulnerability, restraint and the human condition. Drawing on Classical, Surrealist and Romantic traditions, Return | Ritorno expands on Hades’ acclaimed London solo show in 2025, where she first experimented with combining spoken word and visual art to create absorbing, synesthetic experiences. The centrepiece, Return (2025), is a monumental 22-panel painting spanning 13 metres. Comprising sixty-three life-size figures, the work pays homage to the power and precision of Greco-Roman sculpture. The painting echoes the structure of an altar triptych and draws inspiration from Gustav Klimt’s Faculty Paintings – Medicine, Philosophy and Jurisprudence (1900–1907). Additional sections explore Sphinx (2026), the immersive sculptural installation rendered in mirrored chrome, simultaneously evoking ancient Egyptian ruins and otherworldly futures, and the ongoing Confessions series, drawing on decades of journaling that began in early childhood. Here, the artist extracts lines from discarded pages of handwritten diaries and enlarges them onto slabs resembling materials such as concrete and marble. Richly illustrated and with an introductory essay by Rebecca Anne Proctor on Arch’s practice, the book documents the precision and emotional depth that define Hades’ work— qualities described as “meticulously composed” by critics—inviting readers into the artist’s exploration of vulnerability, restraint, and the nature of human existence. An independent journalist, editor, cultural advisor, and broadcaster, Rebecca Anne Proctor is a former editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar Art and Harper’s Bazaar Interiors. • In March 2025, Hades was among twenty-nine international artists featured in Christie’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale in London. 12

From Michelangelo to Burri: the beauty of ancient masters’ sculptures and the gestures of the great 20th-century artists captured in Aurelio Amendola’s extraordinary photographs
Sensitive and intense in his gaze, Aurelio Amendola has crossed the history of art with his camera, turning light into narrative. From the immortal sculptures of Michelangelo and Gian Lorenzo Bernini to the powerful contemporary works of Emilio Vedova and Alberto Burri, his images reveal the secret life of artworks and the faces of their creators. Through his shots, Amendola has revealed the most vibrant, mysterious and hidden essence of marble, its substance and tangible matter: the skin of Michelangelo’s David, the absolute energy of Bernini in The Rape of Proserpina, and the compelling sensuality of Canova’s Cupid and Psyche. Equally unique is his ability to narrate the private (or rather, secret) story of the “making of art” of certain giants of the 20th century, from Alberto Burri to Emilio Vedova and Hermann Nitsch. Portraits that have become part of the history of contemporary art, capturing the powerful act of artistic creation. This monograph features eighty photographs by Aurelio Amendola in a photographic journey that brings together different centuries in a single, powerful visual dialogue. • A master’s eye on Renaissance sculpture, able to capture the living essence of marble and revealing textures, emotions, and details. • Iconic portraits of 20th‑century art giants documenting their creative processes with rare intimacy. • A striking visual journey to discover the Duomo of Milan through Amendola’s masterful black-and-white shots. • The book freatures critical essays by some of the most authoritative art historians: Gianluigi Colin, Vincenzo Trione, Maurizio Calvesi, Marco Meneguzzo, Walter Guadagnini, Bruno Corà, Silvio Ceccato, Giuseppe Frangi, Tomaso Montanari, Sergej Androsov, Antonio Natali, Antonio Scurati, Antonio Paolucci. 14

THE PAINTED MALE IN THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MASTERPIECES FROM THE LEINUO ZHANG COLLECTION edited by Carlo Falciani Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) dual-language edition (English-Italian) 136 pages 35 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5554-5 £ 40.00, $ 55.00 PUBLICATION January 2027
The male figure in Italian Renaissance painting through eleven masterpieces from the Leinuo Zhang Collection
During the sixteenth century, the male portrait acquired a central role in Italian painting, becoming a privileged tool for representing power and individual identity. The male portrait is not limited to representing an individual, but proposes a social and cultural model of masculinity, an identity that combines rationality and authority, power and a conscious self-presentation. The Painted Male in the Italian Renaissance presents and explores, through the insights of experts, eleven masterpieces of Italian Renaissance painting from the collection of Leinuo Zhang, a young Chinese collector with a passion for art. The works are absolute masterpieces by the great masters of the Italian Renaissance: Veronese, Moroni, Paris Bordon, Vasari, Ghirlandaio, Palma il Giovane, Allori, Scarsellino, Leandro Bassano, Giulio and Vincenzo Campi. Organised by geographical area and painting schools (Lombardy, Veneto, Romagna, Tuscany), the volume features a historical-critical introduction by the editor Carlo Falciani and an introductory text by Elena Lazzarini. This is followed by technical entries of the works, compiled by the most authoritative scholars of the Italian Renaissance (from Marco Tanzi to Daniele Benati, from Carlo Falciani to Simone Facchinetti and Fabrizio Magani), accompanied by colour illustrations that allow the reader to appreciate the quality and beauty of these masterpieces in detail. Carlo Falciani teaches Art history, iconography, and iconology at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and is an independent curator. A specialist in Renaissance art, he has published on Rosso Fiorentino and Pontormo. Elena Lazzarini is Professor of Modern and contemporary art history at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. • An exploration of male beauty in Italian Renaissance painting, with contributions from some of the most authoritative scholars of Renaissance art. 16

The buildings of the late Pritzker Prize Laureate Frank Gehry have forever changed the field of contemporary museum architecture. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is the last building the architect completed before his death in 2025 and an experiment in innovative twenty-first century museum design. Inspired by the architectural forms of the Gulf region, it offers a new approach to the museum visitor experience, with architecture that directly influences how audiences experience art throughout the building. As a curatorial premise, Dancing the Architecture gives living artists license to approach the architecture of the new museum not merely as a structural container for art but as a living organism that supports, and interacts with, site-responsive artworks and the direct engagement of visitors as they move within the building. The book documents the site-responsive art commissions that distinguish the museum’s contemporary collection. Each of the twenty-one commissions represents a unique expression of the respective artist’s practice, conceived to engage with Gehry’s iconic architecture, the surrounding landscape and environment, and local communities. Through drawings, source materials, photographs, artist interviews, and conservation insights, the book traces commissions from concept to realization exploring the challenges of creating and conserving dynamic artworks shaped by ongoing audience engagement. Stephanie Rosenthal is the Director of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Project 2021-26. • Centered on Frank Gehry’s dynamic museum building and twenty site-specific art commissions, the book traces each project from concept to realization. • Richly illustrated, the book captures how the artworks engage with the building, landscape, and communities, offering an insight into the process of contemporary artistic production. 21

NUDE ASCENDING: FIGURATION IN TEN GERMAN ARTISTS 1870-PRESENT by Ulf Jensen
From ideal body to human figure: the evolution of figuration in German art from the late 1800s to the present
Size 17 x 24 cm (6¾ × 9½ in.) English and German editions 432 pages 167 colour illustrations paperback ISBN 978-88-572-5619-1 E ISBN 978-88-572-5620-7 D £ 55.00, $ 75.00 PUBLICATION April 2027
This book explores the transformation of the human form in German art over the past 150 years, examining the work of ten artists. It focuses on the female nude as a traditional symbol of beauty. This age-old motif is used as a powerful vehicle for artistic renewal. The ten chapters range from the work of Hans von Marées to that of Markus Lüpertz. Each chapter is dedicated to a single artist. The book reveals a previously overlooked connection: the artists pass the motif down through the generations. Even during the transition to abstraction, the figure remains in focus. Hans von Marées, for example, revitalised the classical figure in light of modern theories of perception. Max Klinger built on this approach, using the naked female body to depict a new image of women. In Wilhelm Lehmbruck’s work, the figures are elongated, while in the work of Otto Freundlich and Ernst Wilhelm Nay, the human form becomes abstract. Nevertheless, it persists in the form of organic shapes and bodily fragments. During the immediate post-war period, Joseph Beuys grappled with the challenge of creating an intact symbolic female figure once again. The next generation of artists, including Georg Baselitz, A. R. Penck, Jörg Immendorff and Markus Lüpertz, ultimately succeeded in re-establishing this symbolic figure in a multifaceted way. Ulf Jensen is a Berlin-based art historian specialising in postwar German art, particularly the work of Joseph Beuys and A. R. Penck. He has contributed to major international exhibitions and publications on artists including Anish Kapoor, A.R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Georg Baselitz, and Joseph Beuys. Since 2016, he has directed the catalogue raisonné project of A.R. Penck’s works. • This book takes readers on a journey through 150 years of German art history, revealing a continuity that is often overlooked amid the ruptures and contrasts of this era. 23

ATELIER 17 AT 100: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON AN INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP OF MODERNIST PRINTMAKING edited by Christina Weyl, Ann Shafer and James Chadwick
A multi-author publication celebrating the centennial of Atelier 17, the avant-garde printmaking studio, and spotlighting its overlooked artists, international networks, and global influence
Size 24 × 30 cm (9½ × 11¾ in.) 224 pages 95 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5521-7 £ 50.00, $ 65.00 PUBLICATION April 2027
Atelier 17 was a revolutionary printmaking workshop that shaped the direction of modernism and the graphic arts across its 61-year history between 1927 and 1988 with studio locations in Paris and New York City. Founded by Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988), the workshop was a vital center of intellectual and artistic exchange for Surrealist artists in interwar Paris and for the exploration of abstraction and other modernist modes after World War II. While icons like Joan Miró, Max Ernst, and Jackson Pollock are synonymous with the studio’s fame, its true impact lay in a radical inclusivity that drew in thousands of artists from across the globe. Together, they transformed printmaking from a reproductive craft into a primary modernist experiment. Published for the centennial of the pioneering printmaking workshop, this volume explores Atelier 17’s pivotal role in shaping and spreading modernism worldwide. Moving beyond the traditional canon, this volume brings together international scholars to uncover the networks, cross-cultural exchanges, and gender dynamics that fueled the studio’s legacy and its major technical innovations. Atelier 17 at 100 is a vital reclamation of the studio’s identity as a collaborative and truly international ecosystem. It redefines printmaking as a mode of intellectual discovery that transformed art history. Christina Weyl is a New York-based independent curator and scholar. Ann Shafer is an independent curator, art historian, and host of the podcast Platemark: Prints and the Printmaking Ecosystem. James Chadwick is an independent researcher and PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam. • Published to mark the centennial of Atelier 17, the book brings overdue attention to underrecognized artists reshaping the narrative of the renowned Studio. 25

A monograph on the most influential contemporary Lebanese sculptor, one of the pioneers of modernist sculpture
A major figure in Lebanese modernist sculpture and an internationally acclaimed artist, Alfred Basbous worked with marble, bronze, and stone. Focused on the aesthetic principles of shape, movement, line and material, his sculptures display a deeply ingrained sincerity and a search for the essence of beauty. Drawing inspiration from Lebanon’s rich cultural heritage while engaging with the major currents of twentieth century modernism, Basbous developed a unique artistic language, based on a delicate balance between purity of form and expressive power. His sculptures celebrate the beauty of the human form, particularly the female figure, and explore universal themes such as family through compositions imbued with tenderness and harmony. Defined by the essential dialogue between mass and void, his works unfold like sculptural architectures, revealing new lines, shifting balances, and fresh perspectives as the viewer moves around them. Fadi Basbous, son of the sculptor, is chairman of the Alfred Basbous Foundation. Sarah Rogers is PhD in Art History and Founding President of the Association for Modern and Contemporary Art in the Arab World. Alessandra Amin is historian of modern art in the Arab world. Saleem al-Bahloly is professor of art history at the American University, Beirut. The book features essays by various art historians: Sarah Rifky, Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, Pieter Brouke, Tiffany Floyd, Nadine Khalil, Rachel Winter, Arthur Debsi. • Richly illustrated, this volume offers an in-depth exploration of the evolution of Basbous’s oeuvre and highlights the significance of his contribution to the history of contemporary sculpture. • Accompanied by critical essays and exceptional imagery, this monograph is an essential reference for collectors, institutions, and all those with a passion for modern and contemporary art. 26

Kishio Suga is one of the defining artists of postwar Japan, whose pioneering explorations of materials, space, and perception have shaped contemporary art for more than five decades. This landmark publication is the first to study the full scope of his practice, revealing the extraordinary breadth of an artist whose ideas continue to resonate worldwide. Drawing on more than a decade of research and unprecedented access to Suga’s photographic archive, this richly illustrated volume brings together artworks, writings, and previously unpublished archival materials to trace his career from the late 1960s to the present.

It also traces Suga’s original approach to reconfiguring works for new sites, revealing a practice that goes beyond the fixed object and embraces continual transformation. Ashley Rawlings is a Paris-based editor, writer, and translator specializing in postwar Japanese and Korean art. He has published extensively on artists including Kishio Suga and Ha Chong-Hyun, contributing to books, exhibition catalogues, and anthologies. His research on Suga and his collaboration with the artist on the remaking of his installations have informed major exhibitions at museums and institutions worldwide, establishing him as one of the leading English-language specialists on Suga’s work. • The first comprehensive English-language monograph on Kishio Suga, one of Japan’s most influential contemporary artists, reassessing his international significance at a time of growing global recognition for Mono-ha. 27

Michele Ciacciofera’s paintings: fragments of memory in the contemporary world
This monograph presents a wide selection of works from the Pathosformel series by Michele Ciacciofera, one of the most original voices on the contemporary art scene. During his career, Ciacciofera has for years been developing a multidisciplinary practice intertwining collective memory, myth, history and political sensibility, through a visual language of great poetic and conceptual intensity. Created from 2020 onwards, Pathosformel reworks Aby Warburg’s idea of “formulas of pathos” through paintings that take details from Renaissance art (Rosso Fioren� tino, Antonello da Messina, Beato Angelico, Foppa, Mantegna) and place them in simple, dreamlike spaces. Separated from their original context, fragments of bodies and gestures become mysterious forms, linking past and present, memory and imagination. In this series, Ciacciofera reflects on how artistic forms last over time and how art can carry the memory of images into the present. The volume is completed by critical essays by the curator Bianca Cerrina Feroni, by Andrea Pinotti, philosopher and professor of Aesthetics at the University of Milan, and by Maxime Georges Métraux, art historian and maître de conférences at the Sorbonne in Paris. Bianca Cerrina Feroni is an art critic, curator and journalist. Her work focuses on the transformations of contemporary visual culture, with particular attention to representations of the body and the relationships between art, the environment and anthropology. Andrea Pinotti teaches Image Theory at the University of Milan. His research focuses on the philosophy of images and media, as well as on visual culture. Maxime Georges Métraux is an art historian and lecturer at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. An exhibition curator, he has contributed to the catalogues of several exhibions and regularly writes for art journals and magazines. • A leading contemporary artist reinterpreting Renaissance masterpieces. 28

A visionary journey through dream and imagination presenting the surrealist sculptures by the contemporary artist
Published on the occasion of her solo exhibition in conjunction with the 2026 Venice Art Biennale, this book presents the surrealist sculptures by the British-French artist Charlotte Colbert, installations suspended between dream and imagination, substance and symbolism, fiction and reality. In Possible Landscapes, the artist engages with the city by creating startling installations conceived specifically for Venice, works that are the tangible results of Charlotte Colbert’s spirited approach to life and positive exuberance. Richly adorned in meaningful gestures, Possible Landscapes is a mystical blend of Nature’s appreciation, beliefs and spiritual awakening, bringing us back to familiar references while pushing the boundaries of the multiple ways of perceiving reality in a context built by contrasts that reflects Venice itself. Fully illustrated, the monograph documents Colbert’s alchemic practice that creates universal worlds of dream and contemplation, action and invention rich in inspiring metaphors and original symbols. Charlotte Colbert is a multimedia artist and multi-award-winning filmmaker, dubbed by the London Standard as “a natural born magician” and described as “the lovechild of Salvador Dalí and Emily Dickinson”. Her work has been shown in public spaces, galleries, art fairs and institutions internationally, including the V&A, Frieze, and Art Basel. Yasmine Helou is an Italian-Lebanese curator and cultural projects manager based in Venice, whose practice centers on cross-cultural dialogue and the shifting production of meaning in contemporary contexts. • Conceived for the Venice Biennale 2026, Possible Landscapes unfolds as a diffused sculptural experience across the city. • Rich in archetypal forms and meaningful gestures, the artworks invite readers to reconsider how imagination shapes reality. 30

The red thread becomes matter
PUBLICATION April 2027
The Crimson unfolds from a red thread. Etwas zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch ein Leben—something runs like a red thread through one’s life, a German idiom for continuity. This thread, present since Annina Roescheisen’s first work, moves across media, gestures, and materials. In The Crimson, it becomes line, axis, seam, pulse, memory, and measure—a tuning fork through which forms resonate toward existential essence without surrendering density. Its simplicity is complexity distilled inward—becoming structure, vibration, depth, and memory. Working performatively with her whole body across the canvas—pouring pigment, walking its surface, folding, cutting, piercing, and stitching—Roescheisen leaves gravity, pressure, rhythm, and duration as Spuren: traces held by matter. An inner journey between the visible and the unseen. In resonance with this process, Roescheisen conceived this book as an object. Each unique cover carries The Crimson’s initial gesture, making every copy a unique artwork. Its raw-canvas cover and sewn binding carry The Crimson’s material language into the publication itself. Annina Roescheisen (b. 1982, Rosenheim, Germany) is a German-Slovenian artist living and working in New York. Painting and drawing form the central axis of her multidisciplinary practice, which extends into performance, photography, video, and installation. Roescheisen’s work focuses on the nature of perception and the shifting thresholds between the visible and the invisible, dream and reality, the audible and the inaudible, matter and the immaterial. • The Crimson gathers forty works in which raw canvas becomes a performative field shaped by bodily movement, gravity, pressure, and duration—from expansive gesture to the red thread’s intimate passage. 31

THE ARAK COLLECTION C O N T E M P O R A RY A F R I C A N A R T I STS
The guiding principle behind the ARAK Collection’s inaugural series of nine artist monographs is that the Collection should not only hold artworks but also be activated as a site of knowledge production. The series commissions writers to engage with artists, artworks and the contexts shaping their practices. The artists span the continent – from Kampala, Nairobi, Johannesburg and Khartoum to Bukavu, Kasama and Masaka – and their practices resist a single account of African art. Through sustained critical writing, each monograph gives substance and weight to practices that might otherwise remain insufficiently documented. Together, the publications expand writing on contemporary African art and further ARAK’s mission to support art writing and emerging scholarship, while remaining distinct from its fellowship and curatorial programmes.

The publication is the first book by the Brazilian artist Thalita Hamaoui to bring together works produced over the last decade. Hamaoui began her career in textile printing, studying color and pattern, before dedicating herself entirely to painting in 2013. She initially explored watercolor and later discovered, in oil painting, the full expressive power of her gesture. Her poetics revolve around the creation of fantastic, almost kaleidoscopic landscapes that evoke recognizable organic forms through singular color palettes, projecting a luminosity that emerges from the painting in a fluid flow where figure and ground become indistinguishable. Thalita Hamaoui (São Paulo, 1981) began her career in textile printing, where she studied colors and patterns. The landscapes she creates are fantastic, kaleidoscopic, with hints of organic forms and a unique luminosity. Mariane Beline is a Brazilian curator and researcher in visual arts. • The book traces Thalita Hamaoui’s career through detailed reproductions of her works, highlighting the brushwork and textures of the paintings, alongside panoramic views of her exhibitions. • Her work has been featured in group exhibitions throughout South America, Europe, and the US.

The first comprehensive book on an original voice in contemporary painting Jake Troyli, a former Division I basketball player, interrogates the dynamics of spectacle, performance, and race through the vulnerable lens of self-portraiture. His work is a Trojan horse, masterfully deploying the compositional complexity of Hieronymus Bosch, the technical grace of Northern Renaissance masters, and the irreverent wit of MAD Magazine to lure viewers into a critical examination of hypervisibility, systemic inequity, and the absurdities of contemporary American culture. By Any Stretch presents approximately 50 major paintings and drawings spanning 2018–2026 and featuring both small-scale self-portraits, rife with symbolism and cultural coding (the history of Burberry fashion in hip hop, for instance), and large-scale multifigure works.

STÉPHANE EROUANE DUMAS
foreword by Chantal Colleu-Dumont essays by Colin Lemoine and David de Gourcuff
A leading voice in contemporary landscape painting This monograph offers an insight into the fascinating world of Stéphane Erouane Dumas, the painter of nature, pristine forests and majestic cliffs. Through a selection of major and previously unseen works, it reveals a style of painting in which the landscape becomes a visual experience, oscillating between memory, perception and emotion. Drawing on a range of influences, the artist creates works in which material and colour engage in a sensitive dialogue. Bronze and ceramics give form DUMAS to fragments of landscapes, lending them a tangible presence, whilst oil painting unfolds a palette of shades that reveal nature’s delicate variations. Far removed from any naturalistic representation, Dumas composes immersive spaces that invite the viewer to linger, to lose themselves and to reconstruct the image. His canvases of exceptional pictorial richness, transform nature into a mental landscape, where every detail contributes to a visual experience of rare intensity. STÉPHANE EROUANE

Born in 1935, Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz has developed a distinctive body of work of rare visual intensity, in which the power of colour meets a profound lyricism. Long overlooked in Western Europe, his work is now regarded as one of the most original examples of Eastern European abstraction of the second half of the 20th century. Blending geometric abstraction, tachism, and Lettrist influences, his compositions evoke both fragility and renewal. It also carries a tragic dimension, as much of his early production was destroyed in a flood that struck his Warsaw studio in the late 1980s. Imbued with rhythm, tension and chromatic resonance, his vibrant canvases reveal his constant quest for harmony. Enriched with essays written by art critics and doctors of art history, this monograph brings together the major works of his life, through which Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz has continually invented a dynamic and sensory aesthetic, succeeding in bridging the gap between the canvas and the viewer. Marjolaine Levy is an art critic, lecturer and PhD in contemporary art history. Natalia Gierowska is an art critic. Michel Gauthier is a curator at the Centre Pompidou. • A key reference for rediscovering an artist little known to the general public.

A pioneer in the artistic use of what would later be known as the computer, Manfred Mohr was, in the 1960s, a passionate musician who played the saxophone in jazz clubs alongside his work as a visual artist. His work is based on the development of algorithms capable of producing autonomous forms, giving rise to an aesthetic founded on logic, permutation and transformation. The cube, as a matrix structure, becomes the terrain for the exploration of an art form, where compositions as rigorous as they are unpredictable unfold. Through a selection of iconic works on display at venues including MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, this book highlights the power of an approach that anticipates the contemporary challenges of digital creation. At the crossroads of art, mathematical rigour and computer science, this monograph stands as a reference work, offering a fresh perspective on art history through the lens of technology. Charlotte Kent, PhD, is professor and art critic. Margit Rosen is an exhibition curator and art historian. Jérôme Neutres is PhD in Literature, art curator and museum director. • An essential tool for understanding the influence of generative practices in the field of contemporary art.

Through a meticulous layering of transparent films enriched with pigments and minerals, then calcined or partially destroyed, vibrant surfaces emerge where water, earth, fire, and air intertwine, revealing forms between the inert and the living. For Keller, light is not merely an optical phenomenon but an active force that transforms matter. Her work evokes experience rather than representation, and unfold through the viewer’s relationship with constantly shifting material. Richly illustrated and featuring contributions from academics, art historians, and philosophers, this monograph explores Keller’s creative process, inviting to rethinking the relationship with time, space, and matter.

RASHID AL KHALIFA essay by Charbel Dagher Biography by Yasmin Sharabi
A leading contemporary artist on the Gulf art scene For nearly five decades, Rashid Al Khalifa has established himself as a leading figure on the contemporary art scene in the Gulf. Initially inspired by European Impressionism before moving towards geometric abstraction and sculpture, the Bahraini-born artist has developed a distinctive visual language rooted in the landscapes and culture of his homeland. Deserts, seascapes, traditional architecture and mashrabiya motifs inform a body of work in which memory, modernity and spirituality are in constant dialogue. This book traces the evolution of an artistic practice in perpetual reinvention. From his early paintings to monumental installations, the artist crafts an immersive world where light is a central and shifting element.

An intimate exploration of Ma Kelu’s artistic practice through the artist’s own voice This publication is the first book devoted to Ma Kelu’s Ada series, tracing its emergence, development, and significance within five decades of artistic practice. Begun in 2016, Ada represents the culmination of the artist’s lifelong investigation into painting, distilled to its most essential elements: a single mark, a single colour, and the canvas itself. Rooted in early ink abstractions, calligraphic practice, cross-cultural experience, and sustained engagement with Eastern and Western art histories, the series establishes an independent visual language beyond either tradition. Through Ma Kelu’s writings and a conversation with curator Wang Jiang, alongside a newly commissioned text by art historian and curator Matthieu Poirier, the publication offers multiple perspectives on the artist’s practice.

WILL PAUCAR: UNGAZING RITUALITIES edited by Beatrice Fellegara
Paucar’s exploration of the expressivity of form and his poetics of the human figure Size 18.5 × 25 cm (7¼ × 9¾ in.) 192 pages 130 colour illustrations paperback ISBN 978-88-572-5560-6 £ 35.00, $ 45.00 PUBLICATION March 2027
This monograph offers the first rigorous critical survey of Will Paucar’s production and functions as a choral essay merging scientific contributions from scholars and contemporary art criticism, to investigate the artwork as a mirror to find oneself against today’s loss of identity. The focus maps connections between European painterly roots and transatlantic research, reflecting Paucar’s nomadic identity. Focusing on the series Anima Mundi, Figures, and Ethereal Realms, it examines his erased faces as a radical resistance to hyper-visibility, encouraging introspection through abstraction. The volume also connects his expressive practice to Fellegara’s INTHYMOS research on Collective Intimacies developed through a diverse range of curatorial and scientific projects, resonating with Paucar’s expressionist gesture as a collective ritual and a radical affirmation of existence. Will Paucar is an Italo-Ecuadorian artist whose practice explores the human figure as a liminal, symbolic space, traversed by psychological, spiritual, and existential currents. Beatrice Fellegara is an independent curator and art critic working at the forefront of philosophical inquiry, archival methodologies, and contemporary participatory practices. • First comprehensive overview of Paucar’s artistic practice, blending figuration and abstraction.

To migrate is to cross, but also to be crossed: by fear, by hope, by memory. Crossing Borders is a project that stems from this notion and from openness to the Other. Six contemporary artists employing different artistic approaches – from light installations to oil on canvas, by way of performance – have narrated a timeless journey. The volume features Claire Fontaine’s work I sommersi e i salvati (The Drowned and the Saved), which draws inspiration from Primo Levi’s book and reflects on the themes of memory and migration. This work was followed by IP OP by Yuri Ancarani, the photographic triptych La pietà di Gaza by Paolo Pellegrin, the mosaic Il viaggio di Enea (sunt lacrimae rerum) by Francesco Vezzoli, and the sculpture VICTORY by Loredana Longo – works commissioned by the Ghenie Chapels Foundation and created specifically for the project. These works were joined by The Raft 2, a piece created by Adrian Ghenie in 2019 and inspired by The Raft of the Medusa by the Romantic painter Théodore Géricault. Alessandra Borghese, journalist, writer, curator, cultural entrepreneur. Diego Mantoan is associate professor of Contemporary art history at Palermo University. • A powerful, contemporary reflection on one of the most urgent and universal themes of our time.

Bice Lazzari (1900–1981) was a distinctive figure in 20th-century Italian art. Spanning nearly the entire century, her career reflects both a deeply personal artistic journey and the cultural changes that shaped modern Italy. Working across painting, textiles, and other media, Lazzari developed a coherent and highly individual visual language that united all aspects of her practice. The publication consists of two volumes: the first includes essays by Antonella Soldaini on Bice Lazzari’s entire career, by Emily Braun focussing on her work in the inter-war period, and by Cecilia Alemani on relations with contemporary women artists. The essays are followed by a selection of around 300 colour plates accompanied by statements relating to the artist’s poetics, the sources of which are listed at the end of the volume. The second volume contains the catalogue of works (including the images and the relative records of all the works recognized by the Bice Lazzari Archive and confirmed by the research conducted), the bio-bibliography drawn up by Veronica Locatelli and the apparatuses including Exhibitions, Bibliography and Photo credits. Antonella Soldaini has held leading curatorial roles at the Luigi Pecci Museum, the Prada Foundation, and the Mimmo Rotella Institute. Over the years she has collaborated with various archives for monographs or catalogues raisonné of artists.

The definitive look inside a major contemporary art collection
The book is the first in-depth look at Elie Khouri’s private collection, comprising over 500 works by artists including George Condo, Rashid Johnson, Nicolas Party, George Rouy, Christina Quarles, and Simone Leigh, among many others. In the lead-up to the Elie Khouri Art Foundation’s first physical presence in Dubai, the book serves as a dynamic record of collecting as a form of cultural authorship, and of art as something to be woven into everyday life. Moving beyond conventional collection narratives, the book brings together perspectives from within the art ecosystem, where artists, gallerists and institutional directors offer insight shaped by their engagement with the processes behind art’s creation and circulation. The collection centres on the human figure, often distorted and mythologized, refracted and reimagined. It is deeply concerned with marginalization, identity politics, technology, the environment, and transformation. Rooted in an appreciation for aesthetics and historical lineage, curiosity drives it, both as a mode of reinvention and a lens on the evolving ways in which we communicate. It honours tradition but invites subversion, embracing diverse and marginal voices as part of a multi-layered story of what constitutes great art. Nadine Khalil is a Dubai-based independent art critic and curator from Lebanon. She collaborates with contemporary artists who critically engage with performance, technology, and the non-human world. She has authored monographs on Lebanese artists and curated for film festivals, focusing on critical, cross-cultural narratives in contemporary art. Her writing can be found in Art Agenda, Artnet, Art Review Asia, Artsy, Broadcast, Brooklyn Rail, Financial Times, Frieze, and Ocula among others. • This first comprehensive exploration of Elie Khouri’s collection, examines collecting as a creative and cultural act through contributions from artists, gallerists, and institutional directors. 46

Driskell (1931 to 2020), artist, art historian, collector, curator, and scholar, the Center preserves and advances the heritage of African American visual art and culture. Driskell devoted his life to mentoring Black scholars and artists and to creating spaces where their work could be seen.

MADE IN SITU NOÉ DUCHAUFOUR-LAWRANCE foreword and texts by Hugues Jacquet essay by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance
A previously unpublished monograph on a leading designer
Size 25.5 x 29 cm (10 × 11½ in.) dual-language edition (English-French) 268 pages 300 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-2-37074-321-3 £ 60.00, $ 80.00 PUBLICATION April 2027 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Made in Situ. Terrains sensibles Paris, Mobilier National October 2026
For Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, design emerges as a language in which materials and craftsmanship resonate together. At the heart of his work lies what he calls “situated design”, understood as a creation rooted in a specific region, craft tradition and material. Each piece is born of a balance between sculptural rigour and organic sensibility. Focusing on the intrinsic qualities and aesthetic purity of materials, his creations seek to reveal their essence rather than constrain them. Brought together in collections of furniture, lighting and limited editions, his pieces form a coherent universe in which wood, bronze, ceramics and cork interact in understated and precise compositions. Designed in collaboration with artisans, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance’s creations build on a tradition of craftsmanship where every detail contributes to a carefully considered balance that respects both the resources and the techniques used to transform them. This richly illustrated monograph traces the evolution of a unique approach in which craftsmanship, design and ecology intertwine. The book offers an immersion into the design of Made in Situ projects, conceived as the meeting point between contemporary creation, the memory of traditional techniques and an understanding of materials. Hugues Jacquet is an art historian and sociologist, specialist in craftsmanship and sustainable development. • A selection of exceptional objects and furniture created by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. • The book includes an essay by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance on his concept of situated design. • The monograph is published to mark his exhibition Made in Situ.

PERSIAN MODERN A CULINARY ART VISION
culinary creations, recipes & presentation by Ramona Amini creative direction, photography & editorial concept by Dadi Akhavan
Size 24 × 32 cm (9½ × 12½ in.) 300 pages 280 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5612-2 £ 65.00, $ 85.00 PUBLICATION April 2027
What happens when one of the world’s richest and most sophisticated culinary traditions is viewed through the lens of contemporary art and design?
Bringing together the culinary creations by Ramona Amini with the photographic artistry of Dadi Akhavan, Persian Modern: A Culinary Art Vision presents Persian cuisine from a fresh and unexpected perspective. Authentic Persian recipes remain at the heart of every creation, yet each is interpreted through a contemporary artistic vision, transforming familiar dishes into sculptural compositions of remarkable beauty. More than striking culinary imagery, Persian Modern is an immersive visual experience intended for contemplation and creative inspiration. In addition, five evocative ingredient portraits shift the gaze from finished creations to the ingredients themselves, treating each as a subject for artistic contemplation. The Foreword sets out the book’s artistic philosophy, reflecting on cuisine as creative expression and the dialogue between culinary tradition and contemporary art. Created for readers who appreciate artistic beauty, creative gastronomy, and thoughtful design, Persian Modern celebrates Persian cuisine as enduring cultural heritage and contemporary artistic expression—an object to display, return to, and share. Trained as a jewelry designer and certified gemologist at the Gemological Institute of America, Ramona Amini refined her artistic sensibility during her time at Bulgari, the iconic Italian luxury house. Drawing on the culinary traditions of her Persian heritage, she brings that same meticulous eye to food, interpreting classic recipes through an unexpected contemporary artistic language. Dadi Akhavan is an entrepreneur with a longstanding passion for photography and creative direction. In Persian Modern, these interests converge in a visual exploration of the relationship between art, design, culture, and cuisine. • Conceived as an image-led art book, Persian Modern offers a visual experience intended as much for contemplation and creative inspiration as for discovering the cuisine itself. 56

Discovering Abu Dhabi through the language of its facade
PUBLICATION June 2027
Abu Dhabi is often understood through its monumental skyline and rapid transformation, yet its urban identity is equally shaped by the quieter rhythm of its residential blocks, commercial strips and everyday architecture. In this new volume, photographer and visual researcher Hussain AlMoosawi turns his lens toward the Emirati capital through Facade to Facade, an ongoing long-term study of the UAE’s built environment. Structured around the city’s major streets and roads, the book unfolds as a visual journey through Abu Dhabi’s diverse architectural fabric — from low-rise neighbourhood buildings and medium-rise typologies to the high-rise towers more commonly associated with the city. Moving between broad urban observations and detailed architectural encounters, the photographs reveal how repetition, adaptation, ornamentation and everyday interventions collectively shape the visual language of the city. Hussain AlMoosawi is an Emirati photographer and visual researcher whose practice examines the relationship between architecture, urban identity and cultural memory across the UAE. His work operates between documentation and interpretation, combining the observational qualities of photography with a research-driven approach to visual storytelling. • Rather than documenting landmarks alone, the book examines the architecture that frames everyday life. Through a rigorous yet accessible photographic approach, the book offers a layered portrait of a city whose character emerges not from singular icons, but from the accumulation of facades that define its streets and neighbourhoods. • An immersive visual exploration of Abu Dhabi’s architectural diversity.

Stefano Righi’s project Patriots esplores contemporary nightlife culture. Through high-contrast noir imagery, the photographer captures the raw theatricality of clubbing and the vulnerable intimacy of dawn, transforming instinctive emotions into an elegant and restrained visual style. The people portrayed in the book’s pages are not abstract symbols, but real, concrete stories: authentic lives, often invisible, always complex. The convergence of underground aesthetics and editorial quality elevates clubbing to a solid cultural heritage, transforming its value from a lifestyle phenomenon into a precious artistic document. All the photographs in the book were taken over the last decade in Milan’s most alternative clubs, from Plastic to Magazzini Generali, from Botox to Just Cavalli and Don’t Tell Mama. Stefano Righi (born in Johannesburg in 1980, raised in Milan) is a photographer whose work examines intimacy and complicity within underground subcultures in order to reveal how collective identity is constructed, sustained, and transformed across time. • A raw, firsthand exploration of contemporary club culture, documenting Milan’s most alternative venues over the past decade.
ELIZABETH WATERMAN: PROPULSION edited by Michael Grecco
A striking photographic series examining eroticism, movement, and marine kinship—shot on analog film Size 28 × 30 cm (11 × 11¾ in.) 128 pages 120 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5575-0 £ 35.00, $ 45.00 PUBLICATION June 2027 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE London, National Hall, Olympia 14–17 May 2026
The book features Propulsion, Elizabeth Waterman’s photographic series shot on analog film with special processing that presents a visual dialogue between erotic pole dancers and jellyfish, juxtaposing human and marine bodies. Waterman examines the shared principles of propulsion, suspension, and control, kinship between pole artistry and the ancient, rhythmic movement of jellyfish. The series challenges conventions around erotic performance. By placing dancers alongside jellyfish, Propulsion invites viewers to reconsider how value is assigned to bodies and why certain performances are celebrated while others are marginalized. The physical constraints of film, the absence of digital intervention, and reliance on timing mirror the precision of dancers and ancient marine subjects. Elizabeth Waterman is a Los Angeles-based photographer known for her female-centered approach to sexuality, eroticism, and sex work. Her recent books include Candyland (2024) and Moneygame (2021). Michael Grecco is an award-winning internationally renowned director and photographer of celebrity portraits, advertising and editorial commissions, private collections and fine art. • Each image is captured on analog 35mm film through a proprietary process developed over time.

A legendary automobile, the Jaguar XK120, unlocks a fifty‑year journey of memory, art, and desire A creator, designer, and insatiable observer of the contemporary world, Hubert de Malherbe has been exploring the realms of style, movement, and desire for over fifty years. With Dandy Crush, he offers a personal narrative in which the automobile becomes an object of memory, blending personal experience with the collective imagination. At the heart of this story lies a legendary car: the Jaguar XK120, a legendary model produced between 1948 and 1954, which was in its day the fastest car in the world, and which, seventy years earlier, had belonged to a young American named Harlowe Rowe. From the 1950s to the present, the book spans the decades, retracing the story of a young man through a succession of visual and narrative tableaux. Photographs, drawings, calligrams and memories compose a nostalgic landscape in which the Jaguar appears as a talisman. It is the symbol of an era when speed, sensuality and elegance formed a modern mythology.

The multifaceted research of the Parisian artist through the lens of performance and photography
This monograph explores the work of French artist Sophie Calle (1953) through her central and complex relationship with photography. Presence and absence, physical proximity and emotional distance, the search for closeness and the pain of separation, the tension between desire and unfulfilled longing: Calle’s work has always engaged with the fundamental dynamics of every relationship. Through the theme of absence – of a person, of love, of sight, of the image – the catalogue accompanying the exhibition in Rome offers an overview of her research spanning over forty years, capturing the complexity of a practice founded on the intertwining of the personal and relational dimensions, reality and narrative, writing and photography. From her earliest works, Sophie Calle disrupted the traditional assumptions of representation, entrusting photography (in constant dialogue with text) with the task of bearing witness to or evoking what is absent, lost or inaccessible. Simona Antonacci, an art historian, is Head of the Photography Collection at MAXXI Museum of Contemporary Architecture and Design in Rome. Pippo Ciorra, architect, critic, lecturer and Senior Curator at MAXXI Architecture, is a member of CICA (the International Committee of Architecture Critics) and contributes to newspapers, periodicals and architecture magazines. • The book examines the themes of loss, distance and absence that have defined Sophie Calle’s work for over four decades. • Through photographs and critical essays, the book provides a powerful exploration of Calle’s personal perspective. 62
GORDON MATTA-CLARK NOT THE WORK... THE WORKER edited by Jessamyn Fiore and Francesco Stocchi
Matta-Clark’s interdisciplinary work and its contemporary legacy Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, this book traces the creative career of Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978), a key figure in international contemporary art, a multifaceted artist, trained architect, performer, photographer and cultural activist. Playful and radically anarchic, his work – spanning art, architecture and social intervention – revolutionised the concept of architectural space through extreme and visionary interventions, such as his famous “building cuts”, which transform abandoned structures into temporary artworks. Starting with his experimental years at the self-managed space at 112 Greene Street in New York (the hub of the alternative art scene in the early 1970s), the monograph reconstructs the context of collective and interdisciplinary research in which Matta-Clark engaged in dialogue with artists, performers and musicians, contributing to the emergence of new forms of expression linked to the body, space and community.

THE GEOPOLITICS OF ARCHITECTURE FRONTIERS OF DESIGN edited by Pippo Ciorra and Dario Fabbri
Contemporary architecture in the era of global instability The volume explores the link between current global geopolitical instability (marked by conflicts, climate crises, migration and economic imbalances) and the way in which this situation redefines the role of architecture in shaping the world. In this context, designing means grappling with complex and ever-changing scenarios, in which the spatial dimension is intertwined with political, social and ecological issues. Through maps, installations and full-scale interventions, The Geopolitics of Architecture explores how architects are responding to new scenarios of crisis and transformation, highlighting operational strategies ranging from reuse and research into sustainable materials to experimentation with new forms of living. The result is an international overview in which architecture emerges as a critical and operational tool, capable of interpreting the tensions of the present and imagining possible alternative futures.

The book reconstructs a lost altarpiece by Guercino and showcases fifteen Baroque masterpieces from the Bob Jones Collection
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, called Guercino (1591–1666), was notable as an early modern artist who helped shape the nascent art market, keeping a precise record of his artistic production called the Libro dei Conti. In that account book, he recorded in 1658 payment for an altarpiece of the Virgin and Child appearing to St. Anthony of Padua for the Capuchin church in Verona. Although that monumental painting was lost, scholars have determined that the Bob Jones Guercino is a fragment of the 1658 painting and that another painting of the Virgin and Child in a private collection is the upper half of the altarpiece. Thanks to recent scholarship and conservation technical analysis, the full lost altarpiece can now be reconstructed. Also included in Guercino Rediscovered is an early example by the painter, his c. 1625 Jacob Mourning over Joseph’s Coat, together with thirteen additional works that trace the impact of Bolognese painting. Guercino Rediscovered features fifteen paintings drawn from one of the most significant collections of Old Master paintings in the United States, the Bob Jones Collection, including works by Guido Reni, Giovanni Lanfranco, Domenichino, Giovanni Baglione, Sassoferrato, Baciccio, and Carlo Maratta. Richard P. Townsend is President of Townsend Art Advisory LLC and a veteran museum director and independent curator and art historian.

A Rubens mystery: inside the old master’s studio through the works from the Bob Jones Collection
PUBLICATION April 2027
Famed painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was enormously prolific, and his paintings often contend with questions concerning the participation of his studio. The Lost Rubens draws on a group of Flemish paintings by Rubens’ studio (including Anthony van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens, and Jan Boeckhorst among others) to demonstrate the Flemish master’s studio practice, influence and context. The focal point is a painting by Rubens, which reveals its mysterious transformation from a New Testament story of The Beheading of St. John the Baptist, to an Old Testament composition now entitled The Dead Abel. Through art-historical research, archival sources, and modern conservation science, the book reconstructs the extraordinary transformation of the work. Using visual comparisons, historical documentation, and technical analysis such as X-rays, infrared reflectography, and pigment analysis, The Lost Rubens reveals how the painting was altered over the centuries. In doing so, it sheds light on Rubens’s studio practice, the collaborative nature of Flemish Baroque workshops, and the role of later interventions in shaping the artworks we see today. The Lost Rubens comprises a concise group of fifteen Flemish Baroque paintings drawn from the Bob Jones Collection, including works by Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jan Boeckhorst, Frans Francken the Elder and the Younger, Abraham Janssens, Jacob Jordaens, Simon de Vos, Frans Wouters and others. Richard P. Townsend see opposite. Nils Büttner is Professor at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Stuttgart and Chairman of the Centrum Rubenianum, Antwerp, and editor-in-chief of the Corpus Rubenianum, the catalogue raisonné of Peter Paul Rubens. • A scholarly yet engaging book that investigates the mystery surrounding a single painting long attributed to Peter Paul Rubens. 65

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”. • The facsimile of the legendary Métamorphoses published in 1931 and illustrated with 30 original etchings by Pablo Picasso. • The book was printed on Picasso’s 50th birthday and was described by Christian Zervos as being “of almost Doric beauty”. • A true encyclopaedia of classical mythology.

PICASSO AND THE PROGRESSIVE PROOF LINOCUT PRINTS FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION by Richard P. Townsend

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. ATELIER PICASSO

DORA MAAR, PICASSO AND THE MASTERS DRAWINGS FROM THE PICASSO YEARS IN THE SANDRA HINDMAN COLLECTION
by Richard P. Townsend; with an essay by Mary Ann Caws
Discover, for the first time ever, the unpublished drawings that marked Dora Maar’s return to painting during her Picasso years
Size 24 × 29 cm (9½ × 11½ in.) 288 pages 220 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5508-8 £ 50.00, $ 65.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
A group of seventy-five drawings which the artist, Dora Maar, called “études” or “studies” are published here for the very first time anywhere. The drawings document the period after Maar’s lover Pablo Picasso completed his masterpiece Guernica (1937), the creation of which the renowned Surrealist photographer documented and at which time Maar decided to leave photography and resume the career of a painter. The Études depict this moment, through Maar’s restless interpretations of famous works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, Dürer, Vermeer, Poussin, Delacroix, and Matisse. But it is the group of drawings after Spanish masters such as El Greco, Velázquez and Picasso that stand out, reflecting her love for Spanish culture and language. The Études are joined by works by Picasso and others that provide context, as do essays on Dora Maar and the training of women artists in France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and on the tempestuous relationship of Picasso and Dora Maar. This extensively illustrated publication includes an introductory essay by Mary Ann Caws, renowned writer, intellect, and Maar biographer. An essay by Richard P. Townsend investigates these drawings as documents of this decisive moment in her career and relationship with Picasso and contextualizes her within the French academic system in which she was trained. A second, short essay explores the iconography of the chair in Picasso and Maar’s work. Full catalogue entries and a checklist of the entire Sandra Hindman Collection of Dora Maar and Picasso material complete the volume. • A major new body of work by one of Surrealism’s most iconic names.

The catalogue of the Austrian artist’s solo exhibition on the occasion of the Venice Biennale
Considered the most important living Austrian sculptor, who was previously chosen to represent his country at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017, over the course of his long and prolific career Erwin Wurm (1954) has radically expanded the concept of sculpture, challenging notions of time, mass and surface, and abstraction and representation, and for many decades has used clothing to address sculptural issues. Published to mark Wurm’s major solo show, held in conjunction with the Biennale Arte 2026, the volume, produced in collaboration with Élise Mougin-Wurm, relates the works of this leading contemporary artist – who explores the idea of the human body as a sculpture – to the spirit of such a magical place as the Museo Fortuny, where the dialogue centres on the body, clothing, sculpture, spatial vision and painting. Through the essays by Elisabetta Barisoni and Cristina Da Roit and compelling imagery, the book retraces the artist’s solo exhibition, establishing fruitful comparisons between his contemporary works and Fortuny’s rich legacy of textiles, light, theatre, and experimentation. It delves into themes of clothing, presence, and absence, presenting sculptural “garments” and enclosures that evoke the human body through the interplay of form and void. The book features installation views and a selection of Erwin’s most recent works, alongside iconic and seminal works from across his career, such as the One Minute Sculptures series, which has made Wurm famous since the 1990s. • The book documents the Museo Fortuny exhibition, exploring the interplay between contemporary sculpture and Fortuny’s heritage of textiles.

MORTEN VISKUM WORKS 1993-2026 edited by Demetrio Paparoni
The new updated monograph devoted to Morten Viskum, one of the most controversial contemporary artists in the Nordic countries
Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) 448 pages 660 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5534-7 £ 65.00, $ 80.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
This new monograph on Morten Viskum (Helsingør, 1965) presents the artist’s complete body of work, from his early beginnings to the present day. Through a series of controversial projects, Morten Viskum has frequently been at the center of public debates in Norway, polarizing the attention of a broad segment of public opinion. By employing unconventional tools—including medical equipment, dead animals, and cancer cells—Viskum has been featured in numerous national and international exhibitions with his installations, performances, photography, and paintings. Particularly well known are the paintings created during his famous performances in which he used the hands of deceased individuals as brushes. Through his art, Viskum challenged both the relationship between science and ethics. Viskum gained international recognition in 1995 with his “Rat/olive project”. Over the course of two days, he replaced the contents of 20 olives jars with newborn laboratory mice in 20 grocery stores in the five largest cities in Norway. The dispute that followed established him as one of the most controversial contemporary artists in the Nordic countries. • This monograph offers a comprehensive exploration of Morten Viskum’s controversial career, from its beginnings to the present, providing insight into his provocative works that blur the boundaries between art, science, and ethics. • Through critical essays, the monograph situates Viskum’s art within a broader cultural context, exploring how his work addresses themes of mortality and society’s discomfort with the ephemeral and the strange. Art critic, curator, and essayist, Demetrio Paparoni is one of the most authoritative voices in Italian art criticism. His books and monographs have been translated into many countries around the world. 83

Jimmie Durham: fifty years of art, activism, and critical imagination
Artist, poet, performer, essayist and activist, Jimmie Durham (1940-2021) is a unique figure in the international art history of the last half century. Edited by Kathryn Weir, this first major publication since his death in late 2021 features more than ten newly commissioned essays as well as extensive documentary materials that have never previously been published. It also includes an unpublished poem that Durham wrote in 2020 and that was presented to the public in a retrospective that Weir curated at the Madre museum of contemporary art in Naples in 2022, the first exhibition to consider all of Durham’s oeuvre. Across a career spanning more than fifty years, Durham dedicated his practice to the critical decoding of the naturalised images and symbols that underpin dominant cultural systems. His works, marked by a strong vein of humour, range from sculptures to videos, poems, performances, installations, paintings, drawings, collages, prints and essays. This book is a tribute to an artist whose protean, multi-layered work is fundamental to the understanding of contemporary art and its possible futures. Its title, taken from a print by Durham, underlines his project to relativise as culturally specific the universalising and teleological notions of the human characteristic of European modernity. • Rich visual and conceptual presentation of Durham’s oeuvre across twelve thematic sections and an illustrated chronology, with extensive previously unpublished documentation materials. • Each section is illustrated with reproductions of works and rich documentation, as well as installation views. A number of Jimmie Durham’s poems are also included. • The book features essays by Paula Antonielli, Bart de Baere, Sylvia Federici, Yrjö Haila, Hou Hanru, Richard Hill, Roselin Rodríguez, Paul Smith, Dirk Snauwaert, Kathryn Weir.

The Musée d’art et d’histoire (MAH), under the direction of Marc-Olivier Wahler, cultivates dialogue between cultural heritage and contemporary art. Since 2021, with its Carte blanche exhibitions it has offered artists an opportunity to engage with the museum’s objects and propose new interpretations of its collection. In 2026, John M Armleder presents Observatoires, a thematic exhibition exploring animals, abstract painting, musical instruments, and light fixtures. Born in Geneva in 1948, John M Armleder is a major Swiss artist whose five-decade career has reflected many movements in contemporary art. As a co-founder of the Ecart Group, his work is marked by the influence of Fluxus and John Cage, injecting humour and conceptual challenges and drawing from various movements such as Dada and Abstract Expressionism. With over 500 of his works in the museum’s collection (including his famous Furniture Sculptures), Armleder is the ideal curator for this unique dialogue between cultural heritage and contemporary art. Armleder’s own works interact with old and modern masterpieces, from the flowers by Jan Brueghel the Elder, to graphic works of artists such as Sol LeWitt, Joseph Beuys, Robert Smithson, Salvador Dalí, and Sylvie Fleury portraits and self-portraits by Ferdinand Hodler, Cuno Amiet, Giovanni Giacometti, Henriette Rath to artists’ books, including important pieces by Ed Ruscha, Yoko Ono, Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, Sonia Delaunay, and Andy Warhol. • By breaking with the traditional approach, Observatoires creates new connections between cultural heritage and contemporary art, suggesting thematic affinities rather than chronological classifications. • Observatoires is divided into thirteen thematic rooms, as many chapters to explore: abstract, floral, animal painting, self-portraits, debris, lighting and others. Each space shows one or more of my works from the collections, playing the role of “announcement” or symbolic threshold. 85

The first comprehensive study of one of the most influential artist collectives in Africa
Founded in 1985 by El Anatsui and Obiora Udechukwu, the Aka Circle of Exhibiting Artists brought together fifteen artists based in Eastern Nigeria who shared a commitment to artistic experimentation and intellectual exchange. Their inaugural exhibition took place in Enugu and Lagos, Nigeria in 1986, and over the next two decades, the group played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of contemporary art in Nigeria and Africa. Kindred Spirits explores the formation, evolution, and legacy of the Aka Circle, situating its members within the broader currents of global contemporary art. It examines how the group provided a platform for radical formal and material experimentation, enabling artists to challenge prevailing Western art orthodoxies and articulate new visual languages entrenched in African histories, philosophies, and socio-political realities. Far from being isolated, the Aka artists were deeply engaged with global debates around modernity, identity, and the role of the artist in society. Their work anticipated many of the critical concerns that would come to define 21st-century contemporary art in Africa: the politics of representation, form and materiality, the negotiation of tradition in a globalized world, and the artist’s responsibility to community and culture. • By positioning the Aka Circle as a key node within the global network of artist collectives emerged in the 20th century, the book contributes to the argument for a polycentric understanding of modernism that recognizes the multiple intersecting trajectories of artistic innovation across the world. Iheanyi Onwuegbucha is an art historian and independent curator. Assistant Professor of African and Caribbean modern and contemporary art at the University of Cambridge, he has organized major exhibitions in Nigeria, France, Germany, and the United States. His critical essays have appeared in leading journals and magazines. 86

An exhaustive publication on the leading Sudanese contemporary painter
EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Dubai, Art Jameel from October 2026
Salah Elmur’s (b. 1966, Khartoum, Sudan) artistic journey is deeply entwined with Sudanese cultural heritage, resonating with the pioneering spirit of the Khartoum School and modernist movements within African and Arab diasporas. Inspired by his upbringing near the Blue Nile in Khartoum, Elmur’s work reflects the rich history of Sudanese culture. His fascination with photography, nurtured in his father’s studio, infuses his paintings with the nostalgia of 1960s Sudanese portrait photography. His compositions blend figurative abstraction, and familial themes, reflecting the multiplicities within Sudanese life. Salah Elmur is a painter of people emerging from his own history and childhood. Through recurring figures of peasants, fishermen, and laborers inhabiting a pastoral world, he creates a portrait that is simultaneously autobiographical and collective, while exceeding national boundaries, depicting a community both real and imagined. • Salah Elmur is a leading Sudanese painter whose work bridges the country’s modernist legacy and contemporary experience. Melissa Gronlund is a writer on contemporary art and cultural heritage. Her work appears across newspapers, magazines, academic publications.

EVA BERESIN
edited by Denise Wendel-Poray texts by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Gert Korentschnig, Angela Stief, Emanuele Trevi
This first comprehensive monograph devoted to the work of Eva Beresin traces her practice unfolded over decades across painting and shifting currents of history
Size 22 × 28 cm (8½ × 11 in.) 304 pages 150 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5499-9 £ 55.00, $ 75.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
Rooted in memory, biography, and historical rupture, Beresin’s work develops as a form of figurative narration marked by grotesque comedy, emotional exposure, and a persistent undertow of melancholy. Her paintings convey a fundamental ambivalence: their motifs often appear humorous or disarmingly light at first glance, only to reveal—on closer inspection—a melancholic absurdity, an intuited abyss. Blending grotesque humor with melancholy, her work balances lightness and trauma, revealing layered reflections on identity, corporeality, and history. A pivotal moment came in the 2010s, when she confronted her mother’s postAuschwitz diary, leading to powerful works in which female figures embody resilience, desire, and pain. Now based in Vienna, Beresin is recognized for her raw immediacy and psychological depth. This volume is the first comprehensive publication dedicated to her work. • The first comprehensive book on Beresin’s practice, an artist shaped by history and memory. • Eva Beresin has been represented by Charim Galerie, Vienna, Austria, since 2015. Denise Wendel-Poray, a Canadian/French writer, editor and curator, is author of books and essays on the relationship between art, theater and music.

LOCATING GIRLHOOD. PLACE AND IDENTITY IN EARLY AMERICAN "SCHOOLGIRL" ART
edited by Emelie Gevalt and Caroline Culp; foreword by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich; afterword by Andrea Pappas; with essays contributed by Caroline Culp, Elizabeth Bacon Eager, Emelie Gevalt and William Huntting Howell Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) 240 pages 145 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5517-0 £ 45.00, $ 60.00 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE New York, American Folk Art Museum 9 October 2026 28 February 2027
The cultural power of early American “schoolgirl” art
Featuring spectacular examples of needlework and other ornamental arts made by American girls in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art sheds new light on a rich but understudied genre, offering one of the most significant presentations on the subject in recent memory. Published on the occasion of the major exhibition at the American Folk Art Museum, the publication presents nearly 100 exceptional objects from over 35 museums and private collections nationwide, uniting celebrated masterpieces with remarkable lesser-known gems. Locating Girlhood explores girlhood artworks from an explicitly art historical perspective, reframing these objects through the lens of place. Though the story of landscape art in the United States has traditionally centered on male academic painters, American girls and young women were laboring over a variety of landscape scenes long before the Hudson River School. From the eighteenth century onwards, representations of landscape were a common visual thread in samplers, needlework pictures, watercolors, and other artworks commonly united under the umbrella term “schoolgirl art,” extending from country scenes and cityscapes to maps and other cartographic compositions. By considering these works as deeply resonant expressions of place, Locating Girlhood expands the story of the American landscape and situates women at its heart. • Timed to coincide with the US’s semiquincentennial, Locating Girlhood both celebrates the creativity of early American girls and women and critically examines the colonial and early federal ideologies that structured their worldview.

The work of the British pioneer of contemporary Arabic calligraphy
PUBLICATION November 2026 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE London, Leighton House Museum — Centenary Commission 31 July – 4 October 2026 Houston, Museum of Fine Arts – Eternally Present Opening 19 December 2026
This volume draws together leading voices from the field of Islamic art, art history and calligraphy to respond to the work of Soraya Syed, considered a British pioneer of Arabic contemporary calligraphy. Fully illustrated and centred on key works, Soraya Syed: The Living Script offers a unique opportunity to hear from an artist as she reflects on a personal journey in multimedia practice and the state of the craft today. The contributing essays come from scholars, curators and fellow calligraphers, several of whom share teachers within Soraya’s own lineage or have worked closely with her over many years. Together they consider Arabic calligraphy, its historical significance, rich cultural contributions and spiritual vitality as drawing a consilience towards a living art. In so doing, the normative lines between “art” and the “artist” are blurred. Calligraphy becomes an embodiment of aesthetic values, one that “lives” through and within the craftsperson. Soraya Syed: The Living Script ultimately gathers ideas, history and tradition with a visual presentation of Syed’s outstanding repertoire. It aims to reach and inspire a new generation, addressing both specialist readers and a wider international audience. • In 2005, Soraya Syed became the first Briton to be awarded the coveted ijazah, or authoritative license to practice the art of calligraphy from the celebrated Turkish masters Hasan Çelebi and Efdaluddin Kılıç. Soraya Syed (London, 1976) is a classically trained calligrapher and artist dedicated to bringing the ancient art of Arabic calligraphy into the 21st century, reimagining the written word as embodied movement and a form of visual devotion that speaks beyond language and belief. Nur Sobers-Khan is a researcher and curator of Islamic manuscripts and visual culture.

The first major book devoted to the leading Chinese contemporary artist
PUBLICATION December 2026
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. Courtenay Finn is the Chief Curator & Director of Programs at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) and one half of Frank, a small publishing imprint for artist projects.

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.

Patrick Roger is an exceptional artisan whose reputation was initially built around chocolate. Voted Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France), he has established himself as one of the most creative chocolatiers of his generation, thanks to his technical expertise and instantly recognisable visual style. Alongside his work as a chocolatier, he has developed a prolific sculpting practice. His workshops are the birthplace of monumental works, first modelled in chocolate (his favourite material) then cast in bronze, resin or aluminium. His pieces oscillate between hyperrealism and stylisation, playing on the tension between the raw power of the materials and the delicacy of the modelling. Displayed in his shops, galleries and public spaces, his sculptures demonstrate a desire to transcend the boundaries between craftsmanship, design and monumental art. This book, part of a series on Patrick Roger’s sculptural work, offers a unique insight into a major figure in French chocolate making, focusing in particular on his drawings, which are meticulously crafted projects in their own right. From the first pencil stroke to the final creation, this in-depth exploration allows us to understand Patrick Roger’s creative process step by step. • A in-depth look at Roger's creations, from the original drawing to the final sculpture. Pierre Hermé is a pastry chef and chocolatier.

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.

MARK MENNIN OBSERVANCE
introduction by Dani Shapiro essay and interview by Hilary Lewis
Three decades of carving monumental sculpture in the landscape: Mark Mennin’s sculptural journey from figurative to large-scale forms
Size 28 × 30 cm (11 × 12 in.) 352 pages 335 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5401-2 £ 65.00, $ 85.00
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 Dore Ashton, Tristan Cassamajor, Vincent Desiderio, Peter Drake, Cheryl Effron, Stephanie Ingrassia, Raymond Jungles, Doriano Navarra, Ben Nickoll, Richard Olcott, Suzanne Ramljak, Alexis Rockman, Susan Sayre Batton, Dorothy Spears, William Tucker. • 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.

Rediscovering the forgotten visionary of 1960s Manhattan scene
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 academic art historical treatment of Dan Basen. • Published with Galerie Gmurzynska. Krystyna Gmurzynska and Mathias Rastorfer are co-owners of the gallery Gmurzynska in Zurich. Jonathan D. Katz is an art historian, educator and writer.

MANOLO VALDÉS MONUMENTAL SCULPTURES
edited by Javier Molins with an interview to Manolo Valdés by Rachel Campbell-Johnston
Size 27 × 30 cm (10½ × 11¾ in.) 240 pages 122 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5364-0 £ 45.00, $ 55.00
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. Contemporary art curator, writer and advisor, Javier Molins has curated exhibitions in leading venues across the globe and worked with some of the 20th and 21st centuries most esteemed artists.

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. From 2020 to 2023, it finalized the publication of several editorial projects, already embarked on by Celant, including The Story of (my) Exhibitions (2021), Anselm Kiefer. Paesaggi Celesti (2022) and the creation of the exhibition New York 1962-1964 (Jewish Museum, New York, 2022).

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.

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´.

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.

THE EGYPTIAN AVANT-GARDE ARTISTS, POETS, AND REBELS 1936-1973 by Fatenn Mostafa-Kanafani
Reclaiming the Narrative. The Egyptian avant-garde: Western derivatives or independent pioneers?

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. 111

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 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.

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 official catalogue of the first museum dedicated to the Black Gold.

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. Christian Janicot, curator, works as an art consultant for exhibitions and museums, as a curator, and artistic director. Arnauld Pierre is Professor of Art History at Sorbonne University. 121

Published on the occasion of 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.

The role of architecture in preserving a country’s heritage and culture At the heart of Historic Jeddah stands Al-Manoufy House (Bayt Al-Manoufy), a silent witness to a city shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and layered histories. Time, however, called for renewal; not as preservation alone, but as reawakening. Through careful restoration, the house is reborn as the Tariq Abdulhakim Museum.

Paulo Monteiro (São Paulo, 1961) began his artistic journey at sixteen, drawn to comic strips. In 1982, he co-founded Casa 7, a group that sought to revitalize Brazilian painting while embracing outside influences. Following the dissolution of Casa 7, Monteiro explored new techniques and formal solutions, deepening his investigation into the boundaries between drawing, painting, and sculpture, in dialogue with the legacy of the Neo-Concrete movement. Exploring the limits of form, Monteiro investigates the line as both choreographic trace and dividing boundary. 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).

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. 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).

REZA DERAKSHANI
edited by Necmi Sönmez texts by Necmi Sönmez, Alistair Hicks and Olivia Sand
The art of the Iranian painter, musician and performance artist 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.

Focusing on John Beadle (1964–2024) and Lavar Munroe (b. 1982), this publication explores how both artists draw on the Bahamian Junkanoo masquerade tradition to address commemoration, collaboration, and overlooked communities. Beadle, who died in 2024, incorporated discarded costume materials into his studio practice, while Munroe transforms remnants of Junkanoo into elaborate contemporary sculptures. Beadle and Munroe share a focus on the hidden, the discarded, the thrown away, the undervalued, “the minor notes,” in society—the migrant, the day laborer, the homeless. Central to the volume is the idea of “posthumous collaboration,” honoring Beadle through the material traces of his work. • The book showcases the powerful intersection of Junkanoo and contemporary art through the work of John Beadle and Lavar Munroe, offering a rare, in-depth view of Bahamian visual culture within the broader African diaspora. Krista Thompson, art historian, is the Mary Jane Crowe Professor of Art History at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. Her writings and curatorial projects focus on modern and contemporary art and visual culture of the Africa diaspora and the Caribbean.
EXPERIMENTS IN LOVE AND REVOLUTION NO NEED TO SPARKLE edited by Margerita Pulè
The catalogue of the Malta Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2026 Size 15 × 21 cm (6 × 8¼ in.) 144 pages 60 colour illustrations paperback ISBN 978-88-572-5519-4 £ 20.00, $ 30.00 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Venice, Artiglierie, Arsenale 9 May – 22 November 2026
The 2026 Malta Pavilion features the work of a trio of multidisciplinary artists with complementary perspectives: Adrian MM Abela, Charlie Cauchi and Raphael Vella. The project responds to our fractured, contemporary times through three film-based installations and a layering of fictions, myths, and histories. Following Aristotle’s philosophy of “doubting well”, it attempts to counter the certainty of political rhetoric and the extremes in which the world finds itself. Abela explores founding texts and myths through digital technologies, sculptural elements, and hand-drawn pieces. Cauchi’s Dolce decodes Roman mythology alongside contemporary consumerist culture through a pastiche of two seminal cinematic works. Vella draws from 20th century archival footage of protests and revolutions to create his experimental stop-motion animation. • The book features writings by contributors including sociologist Michael Briguglio, philosophers Federico Campagna and Vid Simoniti, writer Ryan Falzon, cultural theorist Valeria Graziano and political scientist Michelle Pace. Margerita Pulè is a curator, researcher and educator. She is founder-director of Unfinished Art Space, an independent and nomadic space showing contemporary art in Malta.

DING YI COSMOTECHNICS
edited by Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalera
Ding Yi’s work between abstraction, space, and philosophy The book is the publication accompanying the solo exhibition of the Chinese artist Ding Yi at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, opening concurrently with the Venice Biennale in 2026. The volume focuses on the artist’s long-standing Appearance of Crosses series, approaching the cross motif as a generative system through which abstraction, perception, and spatial experience converge. The book documents twelve newly produced paintings on basswood panels, conceived in close dialogue with Carlo Scarpa’s architectural language and installed as a contemplative “forest.” A curated selection of historical works traces the evolution of Ding Yi’s practice from the late 1980s to the present, situating the new paintings within a broader temporal and material continuum.

RUTH PASTINE. LIMITLESS
edited by Nancy Zastudil texts by Shana Nys Dambrot, Andrea Gyorody, Dorothy Kosinski and Julie Perlin Lee
The first comprehensive monograph on the acclaimed artist Size 27 × 30 cm (10½ × 11¾ in.) 196 pages 120 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5437-1 £ 50.00, $ 70.00 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Malibu, CA Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art May 2026
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.
TERESA MARGOLLES. HOW DO WE GET OUT? edited by Denise Wendel-Poray texts by Imma Prieto, Zairong Xiang and Udo Kittelmann
Contemporary Mexican artist Teresa Margolles and the aesthetics of violence Size 22 × 28 cm (8½ × 11 in.) dual-language edition (English-Spanish) 304 pages 150 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5439-5 £ 55.00, $ 75.00 PUBLICATION December 2026 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Monterrey, Mexico Museo de Arte Contemporáneo MARCO 13 November 2025 22 March 2026
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. Denise Wendel-Poray is a Canadian/French writer, editor and curator. Imma Prieto is a Spanish curator, writer, and researcher. Zairong Xiang is a scholar, curator, and writer.

MILTON AVERY COLOUR FORM & COMPOSITION edited by Edith Devaney
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 FINE ARMS. GEOPOLITICS OF CONTEMPORARY ART by Enrico Mascelloni
Contemporary art and its central role in the global geopolitical landscape Contemporary art, at the centre of market and fashion attention, defines the effective power of a country and participates in its formation. Unlike the litanies handed down, it has no special ability to mitigate conflicts and spur brotherhood among peoples, at a time when it has become an important factor in geopolitical valorisation and when knives are being sharpened in the spirit of renewed nationalism. This book, declaring the category of soft power obsolete, analyses in Part I the relationship of contemporary art with various spheres (religion, violence, tourism, globalization, market...) and in Part II, in monographic chapters, it examines its growing centrality in 25 countries. It addresses, in special inserts, some particularly hot topics and the relationship between some neo-imperial conflicts and the spread of contemporary art is also analysed.

JITISH KALLAT 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.

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. • 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.
GLORY OF THE WORLD COLOR FIELD PAINTING (EARLY 1950S TO 1983) by Bonnie Clearwater
A New Look at mid-twentieth century Color Field painting Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) 168 pages 85 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5221-6 £ 40.00, $ 50.00
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 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, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Frank Stella, Alma Thomas to create abstraction anew. 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. Bonnie Clearwater is Director and Chief Curator, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale. Formerly she was curator of The Mark Rothko Foundation, New York, and has organized major exhibitions of Frankenthaler, Lichtenstein, Rothko, and Stella.

DORAZIO. CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ OF PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES edited by Francesco Tedeschi research and scientific supervision by Stefano Setti
Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) dual-language edition (Italian-English) 3 volumes, 24 × 28 cm, 1800 pages 5000 colour and b/w hardcover in slipcase ISBN 978-88-572-4701-4 £ 410.00, $ 520.00 PUBLICATION November 2026 NO RIGHTS OF RETURN
The Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings and Sculptures by Piero Dorazio is the first publication bringing together the artist’s entire oeuvre
The three-volume Catalogue documents more than 5,000 works by Piero Dorazio (1927-2005), presented chronologically and organized into typological series to highlight the coherence of his vast production. Compiled from the photography collection of the Archivio Piero Dorazio, archival research, and exhibition records, it includes critical essays, biographical and bibliographical materials, and detailed entries for each work, spanning from the 1940s to 2005. The Catalogue features an essay by Francesco Tedeschi, which situates Dorazio within a complex network of artistic, critical and activist connections in both the Italian and international contexts. The introductory texts to each section outline the key features of every creative phase, whilst the introductions to the specific groups of works are accompanied by an anthological selection of Dorazio’s writings on poetics that best reflect the aims and nature of his pictorial research. Each section includes a selection of extracts from the most significant critical texts for understanding the various periods of the artist’s work. The catalogue also features an essay on the collections of the Archivio Piero Dorazio, edited by Valentina Sonzogni, director of the Archive. Dorazio’s works are reproduced in photographs and plates that make the delicate textures, harmonies and contrasts of the work of a master who studied and explored the possibilities of colour and light more readable. Francesco Tedeschi is professor of History of Contemporary Art at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. His work centres on late 19th-century sculpture, historic avant-garde movements, and post-war Italian art. He curated the general catalogues on Gianni Bertini and Enrico Della Torre. • The definitive, most comprehensive reference on Piero Dorazio’s oeuvre. 176

SANGREGORIO CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ OF SCULPTURES edited by Elena Pontiggia
The most comprehensive and up-to-date publication on the sculpture of Giancarlo Sangregorio
Size 24 x 28 cm (9½ x 11 in.) dual-language edition (Italian-English) 560 pages, 1457 colour and b/w hardcover with slipcase ISBN 978-88-572-4197-5 £ 220.00, $ 300.00 PUBLICATION November 2026 NO RIGHTS OF RETURN
The Catalogue offers a comprehensive survey of Giancarlo Sangregorio’s sculptural oeuvre (1925–2013), featuring over 1,400 images of works created from the 1940s up to 2013. The volume opens with an extensive essay by Elena Pontiggia, which examines Sangregorio’s creative development and highlights the international dimension of his work, bringing renewed attention to the sculptor and his role within the Italian and European sculptural landscape. Organised chronologically, the volume traces the various phases of Sangregorio’s artistic production, beginning with the figurative works of the 1940s and 1950s, marked by a significant turning point towards the end of the 1950s. The survey continues through the decades, reaching the 1960s with the large stone and wood sculptures, that inaugurated a new anti-figurative monumentality, later developed into a titanic and mythical dimension from the 1980s onwards. Alongside the artist’s most celebrated works, the catalogue also includes numerous sculptures published here for the first time. The volume is complemented by an extensive biography, compiled by Lorella Giudici, which, for the first time, traces the artist’s creative phases, exhibitions and personal experiences, examining his works within their artistic and historical contexts. The publication concludes with a comprehensive bibliography. Elena Pontiggia, art historian, is Professor of Contemporary Art History at the Politecnico di Milano. Curator of numerous exhibitions and catalogues, she is widely regarded as one of the leading experts on 20th-century Italian art. Lorella Giudici, art historian, is a professor of Contemporary Art History at Brera Academy, Milan. • This most comprehensive and authoritative publication on Sangregorio’s oeuvre is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers, as well as for art enthusiasts and collectors, seeking to document the location of works in museums, private collections, and public spaces. 177

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. In addition, the “narrative” captions in the volume analyse the execution details, the artistic intents, and the stories behind the works and photos. • The first and only authorized and recognized scientific publication on the artist’s work. Monica De Bei Schifano, the artist’s wife, is President of Archivio Mario Schifano. Marco Meneguzzo, historian and critic of contemporary art, exhibition curator, is specialized in Italian art from the post-World War II period. 178

The first complete catalogue of the ceramic works by the great 20th-century artist
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.

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. 180

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.

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.

WASSEF BOUTROS-GHALI: CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ edited by Lesley Campoy; texts by Sultan Sooud Al-Qassemi, Barbara MacAdam, Glenn Adamson, Sumayya Vally and Donna Honarpisheh
The first complete catalogue raisonné of the Egyptian artist Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) 496 pages 710 colour illustrations hardcover with slipcase ISBN 978-88-572-5366-4 £ 180.00, $ 230.00 EXHIBITION SCHEDULE New York, Albertz Benda Gallery and Leila Heller Gallery January 2026
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 gained increased 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. MacAdam is an esteemed American art critic, editor, and writer. Glenn Adamson, curator, writer and historian, is the Artistic Director for Design Doha and curator at large for the Vitra Design Museum. Sumayya Vally, South African architect, co-curated the 2023 Islamic Arts Biennale and designed the 2021 Serpentine Pavilion.

PAINTING IN THE CALOUSTE GULBENKIAN MUSEUM by Luísa Sampaio
Five centuries of great European painting in the revised edition of the catalogue of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisboa Calouste Gulbenkian acquired his first painting in 1899 and continued building his collection until 1953. 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 reflects the special interest that he had for portrait and landscape painting. The one hundred and twelve paintings on permanent exhibition in the museum’s galleries, which are published in full here, also confirm this preference.

A new lens on African Art in the book accompanying the launch of the Gabonese art museum Rather than presenting the arts of Gabon and sub-Saharan Africa through ethnic classifications, this book explores the exchanges, borrowings and cultural connections that link them, drawing on around a hundred works from the Comilog Foundation for Gabonese Art and Culture. 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.

rial use of colour.
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 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 picto-

TRIBUTE TO LIFE. THE LEFLAIVE ESTATE foreword by Brice de La Morandière texts by Guillaume Rebière and Thierry Thevenin recipes by Hugo Bourny
A unique approach to the world of wine In bookshops saturated with wine guides, technical accounts and family histories, this book offers a new approach: a unique, sensitive work that is resolutely “outside the box”. Here, Domaine Leflaive is presented neither as a monograph nor as a traditional chronicle, but as a living experience, where emotion is cultivated as much as the vines.In Puligny-Montrachet, in the Hautes Côtes as in the Mâconnais, the estate draws its inspiration from an exceptional natural environment, patiently respected thanks to biodynamic methods. Two years of meticulous work, attention to detail, and human and artisanal alliances give rise to wines capable of leaving a lasting impression. This book reveals the intimate fabric of this alchemy: the heritage of the Leflaive family, the biodiversity that shapes the landscape, and the discreet gestures of those who work at the estate.

JEAN MUS. THE JOY OF LIVING
preface by Marina Picasso; text by Dane McDowell photographs by Matteo Carassale
A groundbreaking book retracing the gardens created by the famous landscape artist over the last ten years Jean Mus, Mediterranean landscape gardener, poet of plants and lover of nature, has designed more than 1500 gardens around the world – from Provence to California – combining 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. 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.

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.

THE BEAUTY OF ITALIAN LIVING PORTRAIT MILANO
text by Luca Masia and Davide Rampello, photographs by Gabriele D’Agostino
A new destination for the monumental 16th-century palace in Milan Size 24 × 30 cm (9½ × 12 in.) 260 pages 170 colour illustrations hardcover with slipcase ISBN 978-88-572-5376-3 £ 60.00, $ 75.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
A masterpiece of Lombard Baroque, the former Archiepiscopal Seminary was one of the oldest seminaries in Europe and the world. Today, thanks to the careful renovation by Lungarno Collection, designed by architects Michele De Lucchi and Michele Bonan, the former Seminary reopens to the city as an inspiring place: Portrait Milano. Rooted in an Italian family vision of living, shaped by craft, beauty, and instinctive style, this project continues a story where hospitality becomes part of a wider cultural way of life. And so, with the right measure of humilitas, a 16th-century seminary has been transformed into an urban destination for the third millennium. • Stunning photographs highlight 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. Davide Rampello, curator, artistic director, creative consultant, is a lecturer at the University of Padua, IULM, and the Politecnico di Milano.

DAVID WOJNAROWICZ ARTHUR RIMBAUD IN NEW YORK edited by Antonio Sergio Bessa
One of David Wojnarowicz’s few incursions into photography During his first trip to France in 1978, David Wojnarowicz immersed himself in the Parisian environs where, a century earlier, the poet Arthur Rimbaud had lived as a runaway teenager in the hope of becoming a poet. Upon his return to the United States, Wojnarowicz put in historical perspective New York’s economic decline and urban decay. He intuitively made a parallel between the situation that New York was going through and the state of anarchy that took over Paris in the early 1870s. Considered in this context, the series of photo-performances that Wojnarowicz produced in collaboration with some 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.

NEW YORK 1962–1964
conceived, curated and edited by Germano Celant co-published by the Jewish Museum, New York
The book explores a pivotal moment in art and culture in New York 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.

RENATE GRAF RESTLESS
edited by Denise Wendel-Poray with an essay by Emanuele Trevi
Size 25 × 31.5 cm (8¾ × 12½ in.) 304 pages 260 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5447-0 £ 55.00, $ 75.00 PUBLICATION November 2026
The first comprehensive monograph devoted to the work of Renate Graf, tracing her photographic journey across countries and continents
Rooted in travel, literature, and lived experience, Renate Graf’s practice unfolds as a form of poetic documentation, marked by the extreme nuance of her predominantly black-and-white images and by a deliberate refusal of technological mediation. In his essay, Emanuele Trevi sounds the depths of her work, revealing an audacious, unstoppable artist for whom photography is inseparable from life itself. Austrian photographer Renate Graf has drawn wide acclaim and respect for her powerful body of work, which could be described as a form of poetic documentation where image wavers on the edge of language. Inspired by writers such as Fernando Pessoa, Rainer Maria Rilke, Tagore, T. S. Eliot, Edmond Jabès, Paul Valéry, and Hermann Broch, Renate Graf turns literary vision into images. The camera began to accompany the artist on far-flung travels, as a witness to her nomadic journeys to South India, Morocco, China, Alaska, Russia, Yemen, Cambodia, Italy, and Germany—her own writing and numerous literary references melding with the images. • Today, the photography of Renate Graf is recognized for its distinctive chimerical quality combined with the formal austerity of the pictorial composition, which characterizes her works. Denise Wendel-Poray is a Canadian/French writer, editor and curator; she is author of books and essays on the relationship between art, theater and music. With Skira she published Painting the Stage (2019), The Last Days of the Opera (2023). She also directs Skira’s Milestones series on today’s greatest living artists. One of Italy’s leading writers and literary critics, Emanuele Trevi has written numerous critical essays on literary figures. His book Qualcosa di scritto (Something Written) won the European Union Prize for Literature in 2012, while Due vite (Two Lives) received the prestigious Strega Prize in 2021. 192

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 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 Is Not 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 • Sandro Miller’s photography captures the raw essence of the human condition—spanning cultures, identities and emotions. • A powerful photographic storytelling through light, expression and form. Sandro Miller is a Chicago-based photographic and video artist with an especial sensitivity to people and cultures. Known for his mastery of light and emotional depth, Sandro Miller’s work spans the globe and explores truth, identity and the human condition. With Skira he published Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich.

MITCH EPSTEIN AMERICAN NATURE edited by Brian Wallis
Twenty years of images by the acclaimed American photographer, pioneer of 1970s fine-art colour photography
GALLERIE D’ITALIA | SKIRA Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) 176 pages 120 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5312-1 £ 40.00, $ 50.00
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. Brian Wallis, former Chief curator and director of exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York, is executive director of The Center for Photography at Woodstock. 197

Much more than a photography book, Vision is a sensory experience, an invitation to relearn how to see. In this publication, Justine Tjallinks (1984) presents a body of work in which each image is born from an inner gesture, carefully considered long before any encounter with the model. Photography becomes a space for rigorous composition, nourished by pictorial inspiration inherited from the Flemish masters, where light, posture and texture interact with silent precision. On the border between reality and imagination, her portraits are constructed layer by layer, revealing a restrained, profound, almost meditative presence. Vision is powerful and necessary book that transforms the act of looking into an act of consciousness. • The book is co-published with the Sophie Scheidecker Gallery. • Drawing from the legacy of the Flemish masters, Justine Tjallinks constructs her portraits with rigorous precision. • The book presents an inclusive vision that challenges traditional beauty standards. Sophie Agon is director of the Sophie Scheidecker Gallery, Paris. Aurora Larocca is gallery collaborator.

BRUCE GILDEN. A CLOSER LOOK edited by Denis Curti
Bruce Gilden’s entire artistic journey, from his early black-and-white work to his recent colour photography A pioneer of street photography, and a full member of the Magnum Photos agency, Bruce Gilden (b. 1946) is one of the undisputed protagonists of the international photography scene. His practice, defined by himself as in-your-face photography, is distinguished by a direct and radical language, able to capture the soul of his subjects and their relationship with their context. The book features a selection of approximately ninety images and centres on Faces (2013-2024), collecting portraits made as a figurative chronicle of cities around the world. Alongside these, a series of black-and-white photographs of his beginnings, taken in Japan, Haiti, Europe, but above all in his hometown, New York. The book also features two new and unpublished reinterpretations of two Raphael’s paintings, through which Gilden reinterprets the concept of “grace” expressed by the great Renaissance master.

MOISSAN. DIAMONDS FROM THE STARS edited by Denise Wendel-Poray prologue by Montserrat Oliver Grimau texts by Jos Sacre and Ernesto Ibarra, Olivier Lafont, Bianca Cappello, Sarah Gore Reeves and Mwape Chama
Size 24 × 28 cm (9½ × 11 in.) 160 pages 110 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-5430-2 £ 45.00, $ 60.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
This publication aims to deepen awareness of Henri Moissan’s legacy and the jewelry inspired by his work
The Moissan Company is a singular enterprise, uniting refined jewelry design with ecological responsibility and entrepreneurial innovation. This book traces the story of its founders, Jos Sacré and Ernesto Ibarra, whose collaboration with entrepreneur Montserrat Oliver Grimau drew inspiration from the groundbreaking work of French chemist Henri Moissan. Awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for isolating fluorine, Moissan also discovered silicon carbide—later named moissanite—while studying meteorites from Diablo Canyon, Arizona. Exceptionally rare in nature, the mineral became scientifically significant when Moissan succeeded in synthesizing it through his pioneering electric arc furnace. Three essays by leading scholars explore the intellectual and material foundations of The Moissan Company. Chemist Olivier Lafont offers a vivid portrait of Moissan as both innovator and collector. Jewelry historian Bianca Cappello examines the role of moissanite in modern design, from the emergence of the tennis bracelet to Cuban link chains and engagement rings. Climate activist Mwape Chama addresses the environmental toll of traditional diamond mining—deforestation, biodiversity loss, toxic waste, and large‑scale landscape damage—while presenting lab‑grown stones as a sustainable alternative. Sarah Gore Reeves redefines jewelry as a tool for contrast, freedom, and ethical beauty rather than traditional luxury matching. Bringing together art, craftsmanship, history, and science, this book presents a compelling vision of sustainable luxury. The Moissan Company stands at the crossroads of ecological awareness and artistic innovation, demonstrating how lab‑created moissanite can offer a conflict‑free and environmentally responsible option. • Science, history, ethics and art in a compelling case for sustainable luxury.

Luxury 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.

CARTIER ISLAMIC INSPIRATION AND MODERN DESIGN edited by Judith Henon-Raynaud and Évelyne Possémé
Size 21.5 × 27.5 cm (8½ × 10¾ in.) 248 pages 320 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-2-37074-235-3 £ 38.00, $ 50.00
Jewellery and Islamic art, the interweaving of masterpieces
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.

MURANO GLASS AND THE VENICE BIENNALE 1912–1930 edited by Marino Barovier and Carla Sonego
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.

PIERO PORTALUPPI
edited by Piero Maranghi photographs by Ciro Frank Schiappa
An exhaustive monograph on the eminent architect, emblematic of Milanese, and also Italian, 20th-century architectural and figurative culture
Size 26 × 34 cm (10¼ × 13¼ in.) dual-language edition (English-Italian) 400 pages 350 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-88-572-4746-5 £ 80.00, $ 95.00
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.

BENEDETTO CAMERANA. PROJECTS AND VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF ARCHITECTURE edited by Luca Molinari
Size 21.5 x 28 cm (8½ x 11 in.) dual-language edition (English-Italian) 320 pages 580 colour illustrations paperback ISBN 978-88-572-4172-2 £ 50.00, $ 69.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
Over twenty years of work by the Turin-based architect: a narrative between the past and the future and an opportunity to reflect on the role of the architect in the transformation of the city, public space and the landscape
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. 222

CROSSED HISTORIES GAE AULENTI, ADA LOUISE HUXTABLE,PHYLLIS LAMBERT ON ARCHITECTURE AND THE CITY texts by Catherine Bédard and Léa-Cathérine Szacka
The transformative influence of three pioneering women on the development of the postmodern city
Size 17 × 24 cm (6½ × 9¾ in.) dual-language edition (English-French) 144 pages 50 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-2-37074-253-7 £ 30.00, $ 35.00
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. 223

ALAIN SARFATI ARCHITECTURE
texts by Thierry Grillet, Christophe Leray and Jean-Claude Ribaut with an interview by Francis Rambert
A monograph on Sarfati’s entire architectural output Size 24 × 29 cm (9½ × 11½ in.) dual-language edition (English-French) 368 pages 300 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-2-37074-286-5 £ 60.00
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.

HILDEGARD VON BINGEN THE FOUNTAIN OF WISDOM ARITHMETIC, GEOMETRY, MUSIC, ASTRONOMY by Sara Salvadori
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.

Leonardo da Vinci and water, between art and engineering
A universal genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) never ceased to observe, analyze, and glorify water, which he regarded as the vital force of nature and the hidden engine of the world. Rivers, whirlpools, rain, floods, underground flows: for Leonardo, water is at once a natural phenomenon, a scientific subject, a pictorial material, and a major technical challenge. Through his drawings, notes, and engineering projects, he emerges as a true “master of water,” anticipating by several centuries the sciences of hydraulics, geology, and even environmental studies. This book offers a fascinating immersion into Leonardo’s thoughts, bringing together autograph drawings, manuscripts, scientific studies, sketches of hydraulic machines, and works of art to show how water permeates his entire oeuvre, from painting to engineering. Dams, canals, flood-regulation systems, studies of currents and vortices testify to the striking modernity of his vision, in which observation of nature fuels technical innovation. At the crossroads of art history, science, and contemporary issues related to water and the environment, this richly illustrated book is accompanied by essays written by specialists. This reference book offers a renewed reading of the Florentine master’s oeuvre and invites readers to rediscover a visionary way of thinking—more relevant than ever at a time when the management and preservation of water constitute a major challenge for our future. • A renewed reading of the master’s oeuvre and an immersive view into his creative process. • The book features essays by contributors, specialists in art history and history of the period. François Saint Bris is President of the Château du Clos Lucé company. Pascal Brioist is an historian specialized in Leonardo da Vinci and in sciences and technologies of the early modern period.Andrea Bernardoni is an historian of technology at the Museo Galileo in Florence.

LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE PERFUMES OF THE RENAISSANCE edited by Pascal Brioist and Carlo Vecce; texts by 17 specialists
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.

LEONARDO DA VINCI AND ANATOMY THE MECHANICS OF LIFE
edited by Dominique Le Nen and Pascal Brioist; texts by 16 specialists
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 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. Francesco Paolo Campione teaches Cultural Anthropology at the University of Insubria (Como, Italy, since 2001) and he is the Director of the Museo delle Culture (Lugano, Switzerland, since 2005). Marco Fagioli, art historian and critic, has edited many books and essays on Chinese and Japanese painting, shunga, and Post-Impressionist artists. Moira Luraschi, anthropologist, is curator of the Oriental Collections of the Museo delle Culture in Lugano, for which she has edited several publications on Japanese art.

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. • Discovery of a spectacular archaeological site, first Saoudi site to join the UNESCO in 2008.

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. Jesal Thacker, artist by training, engages with research on modern and contemporary Indian art. Uthra Rajgopal is a curator with expertise in South Asian textiles. Glenn Adamson, curator, writer and historian, is currently Curator at Large for the Vitra Design Museum, Germany, Isabella Rosner is the Curator of the Royal School of Needlework and Research Associate at Witney Antiques. Amin Jaffer is Director of The Al Thani Collection. Mayank Mansingh Kaul is a researcher and curator with a focus on post-independence histories of textiles in India.

A MOROCCAN PASSION MOROCCAN EMBROIDERY, CAFTANS, BELTS FROM THE SEFRIOUI FAMILY COLLECTION text by Rachida Alaoui
Caftans, embroidery and belts: three timeless pillars of Moroccan heritage
Size 25 × 32 cm (9¾ × 12½ in.) dual-language edition (English-French) 3 volumes in a box 912 pages 600 colour illustrations hardcover with slipcase ISBN 978-2-37074-298-8 £ 90.00, $ 120.00 PUBLICATION December 2026
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. 237

A celebration of Elsa Schiaparelli’s enduring legacy through the works of British artists
A multi-disciplinary and multi-generational group of British artists, photographers,illustrators, and performers have enthusiastically supported and contributed to the arrival of Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli. Inspired and influenced by his unique perspective and creativity, they are embracing this collaborative conversation between artists in the tradition of Elsa Schiaparelli. Bringing together close to fifty British artists from different eras, including historic photographers such as Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson, established artists like Nick Knight, Tim Walker, and David Downton as well as Nadine Ijewere, Campbell Addy, Felix Cooper, Nadia Lee Cohen, Jack Davison, Tom Craig, Charlotte Wales, and Harley Weir among others, this book celebrates diversity, pluralistic beauty, the wit of some and the technical mastery of others. Daniel Roseberry’s unconventional approach allows each of us to immerse ourselves in the bustling energy of both street and popular culture, and into the dreamy world created by the exquisite haute couture craftmanship he has injected in the fashion house. Rather than dwelling on the past, Roseberry has propelled Schiaparelli into the future. • A very important book for the contemporary history of Fashion Photography. Thierry-Maxime Loriot is a Canadian writer, curator, and creative director who has overseen the curation of several fashion exhibitions all over the world.

FASHION4DEVELOPMENT. AN EMPOWERING JOURNEY by Stephanie Dillon
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.

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.

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.
