Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. From Lina Bo Bardi to Elizabeth Diller: how women have reshaped the disciplineIn the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of one man at the helm to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time.In the exemplary cases and stories presented and illustrated in this volume, reflecting not only the quality of the architecture but also the great variety of contexts and professional configurations, we find the most important names of the recent past (Zaha Hadid, Cini Boeri, Lina Bo Bardi) and the present (Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, Grafton Architects): women at the head of large firms, who may work alone or who collaborate with other women or a partner, or who are members of collectives.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Awarded the Deloitte Photo Grant 2025, this imagined photo archive transmutes grief into a reflection on memory, absence and identityWhen the Ghanaian photographer and filmmaker Carlos Idun-Tawiah's (born 1997) father died, he was left with few photos of him and his father together. Photography was not widely accessible in Ghana during the time of his childhood, so Idun-Tawiah lacked a photo archive through which he could process his grief. He created Hero, Father, Friend in order to fill this disheartening gap. Featuring reconstructed scenes, both real and imagined, from Idun-Tawiah's memory of his father, the photobook bears testimony to a cherished familial bond. Idun-Tawiah's photographs depict piano lessons with his grandfather, days on the beach with his uncle and games of soccer with his cousins--a family network united to fill the complex role of paternity. Denis Curti and Alessio Fusi contribute essays that provide a critical counterpoint to Idun-Tawiah's visual narration by analyzing how its emotional and aesthetic attributes interrelate.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A svelte showcase of KAWS' monumental installation that connects Fra Angelico's Annunciation (1443) with the immediacy of contemporary lifePublished with Palazzo Strozzi. This special publication documents a site-specific installation created by American artist KAWS (born 1974) for the Renaissance courtyard of the Palazzo Strozzi, Florence.

In his work, aptly titled The Message, the mobile phone figures as the central element of the scene.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A tribute to 33 women who merged science and spirituality to healing ends, as commemorated through Kiefer's monumental painting seriesPublished with Palazzo Reale. This volume examines the gestation and realization of one of the German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer's most conceptually innovative projects to date.

His art incorporates global religious traditions and occult teachings, while also reckoning with the legacy of the Third Reich.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Rediscovering Cocteau's artistic output, from perfume boxes to sketches of Peggy GuggenheimThe multifaceted and surprising artist Jean Cocteau was undoubtedly one of the major figures of the Paris cultural scene in the years between the World Wars. In addition to his literary works, Cocteau was a brilliant visual artist: draftsman, filmmaker and muralist and fashion, jewelry and textile designer. The Juggler's Revenge embraces the versatility for which the artist was often criticized by his contemporaries, retracing the development of his aesthetics and the key moments of his tumultuous life through works created by a variety of techniques and mediums.Attention is paid to his ambivalent relationship with Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism, as well as his central role in the "new classicism" of Europe between the wars. A selection of surprising drawings highlights the centrality of desire and sensuality in Cocteau's practice. His little-studied fashion and jewelry designs show the artist's incorporation of "high" and "low" culture. This volume corresponds with an exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, an appropriate setting through which to explore his work. Cocteau had close ties with Guggenheim, who in 1938 opened her first gallery with an exhibition of his drawings. He also had a great love for the city itself, traveling there for the first time at the age of 15 and returning regularly for the Film Festival in the years following World War II.Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was an author, artist, film director and a key member of French avant-garde culture. Cocteau preferred to be called a poet and referred to his various works as different forms of poetry. He collaborated with dozens of artists throughout his career, including Erik Satie, Guillaume Apollinaire and Pablo Picasso.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The result of extensive recent research, Migrating Objects reveals Peggy Guggenheims two-decade period of collecting beyond the European and North American art with which she is usually associatedIn the 1950s and 60s, Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) began to turn her attentions as a collector toward the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Migrating Objects focuses on this lesser-known but crucial episode in her life and activities. In these years, Guggenheim acquired works created by artists from cultures worldwide, including early 20th-century sculpture from Mali, the Ivory Coast and New Guinea, and ancient examples from Mexico and Peru.Migrating Objects emerges from an extended period of research and discussion on this largely ignored area of Guggenheims collection by a curatorial advisory committee, which has yielded exciting results, including the reattribution of individual works, among them the Nigerian headdress (Ago Egungun) produced by the workshop of Oniyide Adugbologeillustrated here alongside other pieces that will greatly expand understanding of Guggenheims collecting.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On the 1950s lyrical abstractions of a little-known protagonist of Italian artA member of the Movimento Spaziale group founded by Lucio Fontana after World War II, Italian painter Edmondo Bacci (191378) began exhibiting internationally in 1956, and was one of the few artists on the Italian art scene to process the latest developments in abstraction.This catalog looks at the more lyrical side of Bacci, when his career reached international success. In the early 1950s, Peggy Guggenheim and various art historians admired his art and celebrated the generative force of his color, his disruption of spatial planes and the circular rhythms of his brushwork. This book also explores the evolution of Baccis idiom of color and light by examining his seminal works of the 1950s, which were acquired by US collectors through the advocacy of both Guggenheim and Alfred H. Barr, Jr. Edmondo Bacci: Energy and Light presents an artist who has been unjustly neglected in the annals of English-language art history.

The fabled art of Italian caricature, across centuries and mediumsCompiling nearly 100 caricature drawings, engravings, etchings, watercolors and printed books from Milan, Bologna and Venice, De visi mostruosi documents the Northern Italian caricature tradition, tracing its evolution. Established by Leonardo, this regional style of caricature was further developed by his followers (Giovanni Agostino da Lodi, Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo, Ambrogio Figino, Giuseppe Arcimboldi), became intertwined with the naturalism of the Carracci (Annibale and Agostino) and then experienced a triumphant resurgence among the Venetian painters of the first half of the 18th century (Marco Ricci, Giovan Battista Tiepolo, Anton Maria Zanetti, Carlo Lasinio). A disquieting triptych by Francis Bacon closes the catalog, illuminating the thematic thrust of the book: the disfiguration of physical features as an investigation of the human psyche.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Enshrining the legacy of one of Op art's few female protagonists, whose scintillating spirals are some of the most recognizable images of the movement Marina Apollonio (born 1940) was one of the main exponents of the international Op art and kinetic art movements. Her dizzying, scintillating works, almost always rendered in black and white, were made in several scales: from hanging canvases to expansive installations painted directly onto floors. Peggy Guggenheim met the artist in 1968 and bought one of her works, making Apollonio the last artist to enter this historic collection. Restoring Apollonio's name to the pantheon of Op art pioneers, Beyond the Circle traces her career up to the present day. It highlights the rigor of her visual research, pursued with an elegance of execution and a wide range of variation: moving between painting, sculpture and drawing, between static, moving and environmental works, between black and white, chromatic research and experimentation with techniques and materials.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Bourgeois' deeply personal Cell works placed in a timeless dialogue with the masterpieces of the Galleria BorgheseThis volume follows an exhibition at the Galleria Borghese in Rome of works by Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Casted Memory revolves around the Cells: architectural spaces that Bourgeois first created in 1991 and continued to expand upon over the following decades, combining monumental dimensions with a profound and intense exploration of her individual microcosm. The Cells consist of large metal cages housing objects and sculptures from her own personal life, alongside specifically created works. Thus, the Cells become devices of an individual and collective memory through the union of private and social spheres. Bourgeois' works are displayed alongside pieces from the collection at the Galleria Borghese in a fruitful juxtaposition between ancient and contemporary art. The catalog, edited by Philip Larratt-Smith, Geraldine Leardi and Cloe Perrone, is enriched by critical contributions by the curators themselves, by Anastasia Diaz and by the scholars Emilie Bouvard and Ester Coen, as well as by an interview with Jerry Gorovoy by Carolina Sprovieri.
