The Early Dürer
Edited by Daniel Hess and Thomas Eser
Literature about Du¨rer fills library shelves.
Does this mean everything has already been
said about the artist? Far from it, according to
the scholars at the Germanisches
Nationalmuseum and their international
partners in the Early Dürer Project. This book
deals with the core phenomena of Dürer's early
work, ranging from the artist's biography and
surroundings to the question of Du¨rer's role
as the archetype of the modern artist.

Gerhard Richter
Patterns
This publication documents Gerhard Richter's
experiment of taking an image of an original
abstract painting and dividing it vertically into
two. Each divided part is divided again,
mirrored and repeated, producing ever
narrower strips, which results in patterns. A
total of 238 selected patterns are presented
here.

THAMES & HUDSON
The Naked Nude
Frances Borzello
The representation of the nude in art remained
for many centuries a victory of fiction over
fact. Beautiful, handsome, flawless - its great
success was to distance the unclothed body
from any uncomfortably explicit taint of
sexuality, eroticism or imperfection. In this
fluent and engaging new study, Borzello
contrasts the civilized, sanitized, perfected
artistic nude of Kenneth Clark's classic, The
Nude: A Study in Ideal Form ('56), with today's
depictions: raw, uncomfortable, both disturbing
and intriguing
