The current tensions between productionand information, regionalism and globalism, reality andvirtuality are leading to radical environmental changesthat cannot be ignored. New tasks in building call forpersonalities with an ability to focus diverse influencesinto clear concepts and to create exciting new functionalspaces. The need is for architects with innovativesolutions to these new challenges and the ability torealise them. The publication presents works by studentsfrom a studio at the TU Berlin, and introduces positionsand projects by architects from the studio’s wider circle.These involve a close interplay between the sensual andthe rational. In interconnection with other fields ofknowledge, the limits of the profession are consciouslyquestioned – architecture faces up to the 21st century.English & German textISBN 3936314454£ 19.99SCHWEGER ASSOZIIERTE ARCHITEKTENBuildings and Projects 1999–2005Jovis VerlagEdited by Falk Jaeger240pp. 250 colour illustrationsHardback - 23.5 x 32 cmThe architect Peter P. Schweger is probably one of the mostoutstanding and successful exponents of his art in contemporaryGermany. His work indicates the sovereignty and conviction withwhich modernist architecture is still capable of contending againstmore fashionable architectural trends – especially when it iscompetent and informed; when it is developed with a deepunderstanding of the materials and constructive contexts involved, asensitivity to real needs, and knowledge of a building’s location andhistorical context. This large-format volume – impressivelyillustrated and including numerous plans – presents designs fromthe offices of Peter P. Schweger and his partners and associates inHam-burg, Berlin and Hanover. The projects are all inspired by theirlocations and manifest a fascinating perfection in the use ofmaterials and detail. In addition, they often represent a symbioticbackground environment for works by high-class internationalartists.English & German textISBN 393631442X£ 49.999

His work relating to fundamental aspects of human life-eroticism, sexuality anddeath-created a scandal in Vienna in the early years of the twentieth century, and the artist was denounced by critics andgovernment authorities alike. In addition to his starkly realistic nudes, he also did profoundly sensitive portraits in whichhe explored the inner essence of his subjects. In this volume, Jane Kallir offers a fascinating survey of the artist’s life andwork featuring paintings, coloured drawings, and photographs. The majority of the works presented hare are fromoutstanding collection of the Albertina in Vienna.Exhibition scheduleVan Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 25 th March – 19 th JuneEnglish textISBN 3775715282£ 19.9911

Contemporary ArtEMIL NOLDEMeeting gazes-early portraitsHatje CantzEdited by Brigitte ReinhardtTexts by Manfred Reuther, Brigitte Reinhardt & Tilman Osterworld176pp. 60 colour & 10 b/w illustrationsHardback. 25 x 29 cmEmil Nolde is regarded as one of the most noteworthy Expressionist painters. Portraits play a prominent role in the artist’soeuvre, particularly during his early creative period. During those years in which Nolde’s art developed to maturity, hispainting was enriched by an innovative power that inspired later artists well into the twentieth century. Some sixty of theunparalleled portraits completed by Nolde between 1903 and 1918 are presented and described in this book. These worksinclude the masterful self-portraits of 1916-1917, the famous double portrait Brother and Sister of 1918, and his portraitstyle images of people Nolde encountered while travelling in New Guinea in 1913-1914. The autonomy and immediacy ofEmil Nolde’s painting is particularly evident in his portraits. Fascinated by the obscure inner stirrings of human identity, theartist was challenged to develop an unusual, gestural mode of expression in his portraits. His painting style appears highlyinformal, as if emancipated from the object. Faces and human images have the look of original creationsEnglish & German textISBN 3775715460£ 29.9912

In the early Meßkasten (1970) and Räume berühren sich in Spiegeln (1974/75) the human body is the measure ofspatial perception. In the installation entitled Das gegenläufige Konzert (1987), the artist worked in a building with a dubiouspolitical background, the “Zwinger,” where countless people were tortured during the Nazi regime, exploring its history andcreating a place of remembrance. In Moon Mirror (2003), a work installed in Pollença, the artist created a column of airbetween a fountain constructed with mirrors and an eddy of light beneath the dome of the Stifts church. At the point atwhich the Orient and the Occident meet, the moon is captured as a “vehicle of human vision and expression.” The viewerdescends into the depths of the fountain and transcends his own horizon in order to survey the heavens anew.English textISBN 3775791876£ 39.9913

CD-Rom - 28 x 28 cmNew York artist Alex Katz is best known for his eyecatching,large-scale portraits, figures, and landscapes,but in the mid-1950s he painted intimate works,originating the style that would become the hallmark ofhis mature work. By the early 1960s, he established aprocedure of making small sketches using oil paint onMasonite board, which he would enlarge and modify,then make into paper cartoons to transfer to the canvas.He produces one or more small sketches for every largepainting. The subject of Alex Katz and Maine is a good, ifsly, one because it makes a viewer do a double take, andface some of the indirect and ambiguous strands of hisart. Maine has been an elemental part of the painter’slife half a century now, yet the role it plays in his workmay be as much psychological, and hidden, as it is theclear-cut and visceral one we might expect.English & Italian textISBN 8881585081£ 29.9914

This publication is the fruit of his weeklong stay in the area of Corvara (Dolomites) in thesummer of 2004, during which he went on 7 hikes. Hisart takes its form as walks in the landscape. In the pasttwenty years, he has covered more than 12,000 miles onfive continents. The photographs and text he exhibits ingalleries and museums are simply objects, intended tobring his own experience within nature to viewers of hisart. Fulton’s philosophy is “no walk, no work.” Thus, eachobject is based directly on a specific journey. During awalk, Fulton takes photographs to convey the essence ofhis journey. Since the walk for him is a spiritualexperience, and taking pictures intrudes on the intimaterelationship that exists between himself and nature, hedoes not take numerous photographs. Rather, hecarefully chooses images he feels will capture mostsuccessfully his own experience of the walk.Exhibition ScheduleMUSEION; Bolzano - 18 th February – 8 th MayEnglish, German & Italian textISBN 8881585162£ 18.50CARO NIEDERERHatje CantzEdited by Roland WapseText by Roland Wapse & Jonathan Watkins160pp. 80 colour illustrationsHardback. 22.5 x 27 cmCaro Niederer is one of the most exciting painters of hergeneration. She first gained attention with small, vividlycoloured, figurative oil paintings done from postcards. Since1994, the artist has produced a series of photographs of interiorsdocumenting the context in which their buyers hanged herworks. Using her own source materials, such as an adaptationof Ingres’s Baigneuse de Valpinçon of 1808, she had tapestriesmade in China; her large photograph of the room in which theynow hang inundates the viewer with virtual cascades ofmeaning. Caro Niederer turned to larger formats in 1997, largelyeliminating colour from her painting, and creating works in deeptones of sepia. Her most recent series of works features softfocuscolour photos of idyllic holiday settings-from seashore andmountain scenes to exotic pagoda motifs.

Most of theempty, austere interiors shown in the paintings of Matthias Weischerseem confining to the point of claustrophobia, and time appears to havecome to a standstill in them as well. Weischer, who was born in 1973 inElte, Westphalia, and now lives and works in Leipzig, has receivedinternational recognition with his paintings. He employs a number ofdifferent visual means to achieve these unsettling effects in his views ofprototypical living spaces. This first comprehensive publication on hisoeuvre traces his use of shifting, colliding perspectives, the motif of apainting within the painting, views into depth, and flat, decorative, highlyornamental elements that appear as if superimposed on the surface-amattress, for example, or a carpet resembling a puzzle-which give apainting the look of an abstract composition. In some places, theextremely thick impasto rises almost sculpturally from the pictorialplane, heightening the impression of objects represented in a state offrozen stillness.English & German textISBN 3775714952£ 19.99THE ART OF ADIMOOLAMMapinText by Gayatri Sinha104pp., 25 b&w and 83 colour illustrationsHardback w/ slipcase - 22.2 x 29.9 cmK. M. Adimoolam’s art resists easy categorization. He brings tohis work a genuine spirit of enquiry, and a continuallyrejuvenating wonder at the generative cosmic possibilities ofart. He makes profoundly aesthetic choices, bringing to hisabstract painting and apparently realistic drawing sheer,unambiguous artistic skills. Adimoolam is primarilyoptimistic; his paintings resonate with a pleasure in thesensuality of the medium of oil, its dexterity and movement,and its ability to translate emotion into colour. What all theworks have in common is his preoccupation with presencesand fields outside his immediate perception, and agraded move towards the ideal space of pure abstraction. Thisfor Adimoolam is the vivid, magnetic other, the field ofconsciousness—energy or cit-sakti—one that is notpersonalized in any way, but which hints at the possibility ofthe deepest realization.English textISBN 1890206822£ 28.5018

Contemporary ArtAGNES MARTINWritingsHatje CantzEdited by Dieter Schwarz160pp. 80 colour illustrationsHardback. 29 x 30 cmThe uniquely individualistic qualities of Agnes Martin’s work attractedsignificant attention at the fifth Documenta in Kassel in 1972. Her abstractpieces adhere to no catalogue of rules but appear instead as contemplative,intuitive signs. Her “floating abstractions”, in which lines and free bands ofcolour emerge almost imperceptibly can be reproduced only with difficulty.Her writings, on the other hand - although certainly not intended asprogrammatical statements - offer valuable insights into Agnes Martin’sthoughts on art. In combination with the illustrations of Agnes Martin’sworks, the texts, including lectures, stories recorded by the art critic AnnWilson, passages ostensibly arranged in associative sequences and“fragmentary ideas”, form an eloquent and poetic artist’s statement by thiscreator of “silent paintings”.

Sironi’s imaginationhas its roots in the tradition of the satire and the great history of art, inhistory and in political events—even simple ones—told by “Il Popolod’Italia”. The most opposing politicians are Luigi Albertini and his“Corriere della Sera”, Giovanni Amendola, the socialists Filippo Turatiand Claudio Treves, and the Catholics don Luigi Sturzo and Alcide DeGasperi. But the prevailing element is Sironi’s deep vision, capable ofcross-hatching a true political bestiary of absolute fantasy and aportrait—not banal at all—of a poor Italy, at times unhopeful, at timesbright, and capable of titanic challenges but also of simple everydayfatigues. More than three hundred works on paper constitute a kind offigurative diary, the synthesis of a difficult period in the Italian historytold—day by day—by one of the best artists of the Twentieth Century,an artist whose talent to surprise people remains intact even with thepassing of time.Italian textISBN 8881585030£ 32.0019

Hisdye-suffused paintings on meticulously serrated paperreflect his Vajrayana Tantric Buddhist philosophicalbeliefs. Dr. Robert Thurman, professor of Easternreligions at Columbia University and director of TibetHouse, says, “If words were colors, Qadri’s art would notbe as essentially necessary as it is.” The artist’s bindu(dot) is a powerful yet deceptively simple symbol, as hispoems suggest. On the one hand it is the symbol of theself in all its relevance in the cosmic scheme of things.On the other hand the dot / the self is “in the seed in thewomb of the mother”. Sohan’s entire task is to achieveaesthetic concretization of the doctrine of Sunyata.English textISBN 1890206725£ 30.0023

Since the 1930s, Rama, has beenexploring the darkest aspects of sexuality and danger in delicatelypainted images. In her early surreal, erotic painting we find torsos ofmutilated women besieged by symbols of masculinity. The"Appassionata" appears as an "auratic" figure of suffering, helplesslyexposed in a sickbed or wheelchair. Everyday objects such as highheelshoes and false teeth assume the quality of fetishes in theirisolation. After the Second World War, Carol Rama turned her attentionto Arte concreta. She also integrated poems by her lifelong friendEdoardo Sanguineti into her delicate material constructions composedof bicycle-tire tubes, glass eyes, animal claws and other suchelements. She began working with sexual themes again in the early1980s.Exhibition SchedulesGalerie im Taxipalais, Innsbruck, 4th December - 6th FebruaryBaltic Gallery, Newcastle, 22nd January - 24th AprilEnglish & German textISBN 3775714782£ 14.9924

The combinationof which resulted in a tendency to place Mickey Mouse at the centreof his paintings, earning him the misguided criticismof beinglabelled “insolent”. This has not deterred him from paying homageto Teatro India in Rome, aplace that inspired him to produce worksof enigmatic charm: “I have sought to give back what it has given tome... the profound energy, the silent Gothic beauty, the calm andreassuring black of the masonry... to jolt the imagination blocked byrational thought.”Exhibition scheduleTeatro India, Rome - 31 st August – 25 th September 2004English & Italian textISBN 8881585065£ 24.99MIRESIBerlinCharta64pp. 19 colour & 6 b/w illustrationsPaperback. 21 x 27 cmThe image of the city is always very appealing to an artist, andBerlin, radically changed after the fall of its Wall, represents an idealchallenge. The new constructions have altered entire city centreneighbourhoods, many buildings have been renovated and manymore have been totally rebuilt. New symbols have risen that givenew reference points to tourists and a part of their own identity tothe inhabitants. Miresi, an Italian painter who travels back and forthbetween this German city and Milan, was seduced by theReichstag’s transparent vault, the work of Sir Norman Foster, byDaniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum, which aroused the attention ofthe entire world evenwhen it was being built; and by the PotsdamerPlatz, the city’s pulsating centre with its skyscrapers. Through herpainting Miresi transforms these structures into expressions of afeeling of life, of energy, of the dynamics she strongly perceives inthe city’s spirit and atmosphere. Miresi, with her vertical lines, boldcolors, sharp con-tours, has banished Man and Nature so as toemphasize the solitary power of architecture.Exhibition scheduleBerlin, Italian Cultural Institute - 12 th October – 31 st October 2004English, German & Italian textISBN 8881585049£ 18.5027

The (non-) colours of black, white and gray have always played an importantrole in Richter’s art. The broad, fascinating spectrum of these colorless paintings ranges from representational worksbased on black-and-white photographs to entirely abstract paintings and spans a period of four decades from the early1960s to the present. The leading painter of our time needs no more than a palette of grays to create impressive works inthe traditional genres of history painting, portraiture, landscape, and still life. He explores the fundamental aspects ofpainting in images composed of streaks of gray, “overpainting”, monochrome gray color fields and mirror mirrors. Theoutcome is a cross-section that incorporates everything painting can mean today—while focusing on the innermostessence of painting through the paradoxical renunciation of colour.Exhibition scheduleMuseum Franz Gertsch, Burgdorf, 4 th February –8 th May 2005English & German textISBN 3775715835£ 24.9928

Fine ArtCARAVAGGIOTHE FINAL YEARS 1606-1610ElectaText by Ferdinando Bologna, Vincenzo Abbate, et al..192pp. 100 colour & b/w illustrationsPaperback - 25 x 28 cmThe first significant exhibition on Caravaggio (1571-1610), the most original and influential Italian painter of the 17thcentury, and a modern icon is to be held at the National gallery, London. The exhibition will trace the final four years ofCaravaggio’s career and will include 15 major paintings by the artist. These works, which are far less known than those ofhis Roman years will allow Caravaggio’s profound late style to be fully appreciated for the first time. The exhibition willbegin with the National Gallery’s Supper at Emmaus, painted in 1601, which will be shown alongside the hauntingrendition of the same subject from the Brera Gallery, Milan, made in 1606, just after the artist fled Rome. This comparisonwill forcefully demonstrate how Caravaggio’s bold, youthful theatricality was transformed into the more sober, hushed, andemotionally expressive mood of his later work. Following his escape from Rome, his art quickly matured and becamemore introspective as he probed the emotional and psychological dimensions of his subjects more profoundly and withgreater sympathy than ever beforeExhibition scheduleNational Gallery, London. 23 rd February – 22 nd May 2005English textISBN 8851002649£ 28.0035

Esler158 pp. 8 colour and b/w illustrationsHardback - 22 x 30.5 cmIn Visuality and Biblical Text: Interpreting Velázquez’ Christ with Marthaand Mary as a Test Case, the artist Jane Boyd and biblical critic Philip Eslerprovide an entirely fresh set of answers. By uniquely pooling theirrespective areas of expertise, they develop in relation to this challengingwork a new methodology that is readily applicable to other paintings onbiblical themes. The core of their approach is to fix upon the three contextsrelevant to interpretation, that of the ancient biblical text, the artist’senvironment and today’s viewer. This focus brings out persistent if varyingsocial patterns linking gender and space with honour and shame. Theyintegrate with this a close consideration of compositional development andpainting processes demonstrated by the artist in this work. Their solutionexplains both the enigmatic fact that Jesus is raising his left hand in breachof Spanish custom and the hauntingly disconsolate expression onthe face of the young woman in the foreground.“After more than three centuries of speculation, researchers have at lastunlocked the secrets of one of the world’s most mysterious paintings.”The Independent on sunday online - 18th February 2005English textISBN 8822253698£ 52.00AROUND JEWISH ARTA dictionary of Painters, Sculptors, andphotographersCarnot PublishingText by Adrian Darmon544pp. 400 colour & duotone illustrationsHardback w/ dust jacket – 21.5 x 28 cmSpanning the history of Jewish Art from the earliest timeto the present, Around Jewish Art: A dictionary ofPainters, Sculptors, and Photographers not only servesas the most comprehensive source of information in itsfield but illustrates the importance of Judaic matters inart, regardless of the faith of the artist.

Her videos are carefullyconsidered in formal terms and spare in expression, yet containingproperties easily associated with narrative – humour and eroticism– at times even simultaneously. This impressive monograph, with amajor new essay by Andrea Schlieker, accompanies A K Dolven’sFestival Exhibition 2004 at Bergen Konstall and documents her mostrecent body of work including her 35 mm film installations andpaintings. The video “Between the morning and the handbag” wasrecently shot in Norway on 35-mm film at five a.m. It wasphotographed in real time and it has not been edited. The videoconsists of two projections. In one of them a nude, bald woman sitsat the water’s edge, while the other shows her handbag, a kind ofsymbol of Western woman. The film records the passing of time:ripples on the surface of the water and the woman’s minor,unintentional movements. She is in some way absurd, like a hybridof a human being and a piece of sculpture by Arp. The handbag isboth a type and a rejected individual. It is difficult to define theemotional mood of the video: it is simultaneously tranquil and lyricalwhile also absurd and amusing.

Hismateriality is concerned with “…issues that lie below thematerial, with the fact that the materials are there to makesomething else possible…the non physical things, theintellectual things, the possibilities that are available through thematerial.” This publication presents Anish Kapoor’s most recentbody of work, where he furthers his exploration of the“illusional”, materials and surfaces. It includes an in depthanalysis of his renowned “dialogue between form and void,dynamic and static.”Exhibition CatalogueBarbara Gladstone Gallery, New York 2004English textISBN 8881584875£ 24.9952

His work has been the focus ofconsiderable critical and public interest for many years.The icy gaze of his angora cats, the disconcertinglasciviousness of his nude models, the disturbingexpansiveness of his room-sized installations—the manydifferent moods evoked by Eder’s visual language mustbe approached with caution. Eder is neither a charlatannor a pornographer. His works and installations revolvearound the chimeras of his imagination, and he oftenblurs the boundaries between personal and mediaexperience, between horror and the erotic.

The artist givesan unexpected interpretation of the familiar classicism of the‘portrait’. This publication emphasises on his most recentworks: Sara Gets Undressed is more of an experiment wherethe artist uses LED (light emitting diode) technology morecommonly associated with digital clocks or motorwaymessaging, to form a life-size panel of Sara dancing topless.In another work Opie imposes Sara’s figure onto a lenticularpanel - from one angle we see Sara clothed and from theother she is ‘magically’ naked. Bryan playing the guitar, Opiepays homage to Warhol’s Double Elvis, using multipleimaging to capture the essence of Bryan Adams. These worksevolved from collaboration with the musician, who hasrecorded a special piece of music, which will ‘emanate’ fromthe paintings. The use of multiple images suggests movementand gives the viewer the impression of having ‘read’ thesubject from three dimensions. This is Monique is perhapsthe most ‘romantic’ and intimate study in the exhibition.Inspired by the romanticism of Monet and Gainsborough’sregal ‘society’ portraits of the late 18 th century aristocracy, hecelebrates the poise and style of Monique from variousperspectives.English textISBN 0947830308£ 24.9954

Many of his paintings were directly inspired by thegardens that played such an important role in his life – thegarden at his house in Sèvres in the 1860s and those at his twohomes in Argenteuil in the 1870s, followed by a garden at hisestate in Vétheuil. Yet the most famous of Monet’s gardens wasthe expansive park in Giverny, which inspired his masterfulhandling of light and color for more than thirty years andprovided motifs for hundreds of the single paintings and seriesthat remain so very popular today – among them themasterpieces of his Water Lilies series.This magnificent volume of full-page color plates is devoted tothis central theme in the work of the French artist.

However, there wereseveral trends within this movement, each with their ownthemes, artists and historical context. Indeed, dependingon whether the artists are relating to events under theFrench Empire or to the end of the 19 th century, theperception of the Orient differs. We can admire the eulogyto Napoleon’s feast as well as works about the East; fromthe exaltation of the colonial conquest to the dazzledrepresentation of cultures on the wane. Whilst presentingfamous and lesser-known paintings by Gros, Girodet,Delacroix, Ingres, Chasseriau or Corot, StephaneGuegand successfully shows the eclecticism of the visionof the mythical Orient.
