Robert Longo’s work captures moments oftension in nature, politics and history at theiremotional climax. Presented at a monumental
scale, the size and virtuoso technique of his
photorealistic ­charcoal drawings enhance his
powerful imagery.
Based on photographs and found images, Longo’s
drawings tap into cultural and collective memor­ies. In the translation from the intimate drawing
process to the massive scale of his final works,
his motifs become a powerful presence. Politicalevents and social observations influence his
choice of motifs, which he isolates and reduces toheighten their visual impact. Using the stylistic
devices of magnification and chiaroscuro, his work
can seem equally real and unreal. He emphasises
the spatial depth and plasticity of his subjects,
using the deep blackness of charcoal on paper toabsorb all light. This book presents ninety full­colour images to explore the work of this ground­breaking ­contemporary artist.

Cryptic revelations. Paula Rego’smodern fairy-tale pictures
PAULA REGOPower GamesThe female protagonists of the Portuguese-British
artist Paula Rego either come from real life orderive from the world’s great legends, fairy tales
and myths. As complicated heroines of our timethey have endured illegal abortions or fight against
the limitations of traditional gender roles insteadof dragons.
“My favourite themes are power games andhierarchies”. Rego’s oeuvre is a tour de force of
creativity. Endlessly versatile and inexhaustible,
it is deeply rooted in pictorial worlds and stories
from both past and present. This volume approaches
the remarkable wealth of Rego’s multi-faceted
universe through a range of different perspectives
and tells of the power of history and emotions,
women’s rights and invisible structures of­domination.

The potency of the Gothic andits objects in making modern art
GOTHIC MODERN
From Edvard Munch to Käthe Kollwitz
Gothic Modern illuminates the pivotal discovery
of medieval Gothic art for Edvard Munch, Käthe
Kollwitz and their artist contemporaries. It explores
their deep attraction to the Gothic art of Europe’s
north and German lands via paintings, prints andin other artistic media to imagine a new ‘Gothic
modernity’, unlocking a different energy of modern
art and creative experiment beyond nation-centricstories.
The book sheds light on the profound importanceof medieval Gothic art for Edvard Munch, Käthe
Kollwitz and their contemporaries. It explores theirre-­imagining of Gothic art between the 1870s and1920s to create new visions of the artist, ‘belonging’,
modern society, sexuality, spirituality and identity.
In these ways, a distant Gothic age is recreated astantalisingly close to ‘modernity’, in short, to making
modern art. Dark or radiant, enchanted or uncanny,these sites of ‘Gothic modernity’ inspired Munch’s
and Kollwitz’s generation with urgent imaginaries
for creating worlds.

Colour and emotion – Rembrandt as
inspiration in Dutch painting 1620–1670
REMBRANDT AS INSPIRATION
Teacher. Strategist. Bestseller
More than any other artist, the painter Rembrandt
developed a charisma through the outstanding
quality and originality of his works and through theorganisation of his workshop. His pupils and successors continued his style as the Rembrandt “brand”
with an appeal which has remained unbroken to thisday. We ask: Why did Rembrandt’s art affect contemporary painters as well as continuing to attract
generations of collectors and present-day viewers?
This magnificent volume examines not only the great
master’s remarkable talent for the portrayal ofemotions and passions, his sketch-like openness andfocus on essentials, but also his ability to pass on theparticular features of his painting style while at thesame time encouraging the artistic individuality ofhis pupils. Some 120 paintings, drawings and etchings by Rembrandt and his pupils afford a fascinating
insight into Dutch painting in the 17th century.

TABO
Gods of Light. The Indo-Tibetan ­Masterpiece – Revisited
Over one thousand years old, the Buddhist monastery complex of
Tabo with its exquisitely preserved works of art ranks among themost fascinating cultural and historical treasures of mankind. The
new edition of this richly illustrated volume shows the beauty ofthese legendary sanctuaries for the first time in the highest digital
resolution and describes in detail the entire gamut of Western
Tibetan artistic styles.
The monastery of Tabo, located in the northern Indian Himalayan
region and founded in 996 AD, is the oldest temple complex in the
Tibetan cultural area that has been preserved in its original state.
Tabo’s main temple, the “Palace of the Highest Teachings”, is a unique
work of art: 1,000-year-old ­sculptures and paintings together form awalk-in, horizontal mandala. Peter van Ham was able to spend
decades photographing the temple halls, which are otherwise
off-limits to cameras. In the book, he also provides detailed background­­information and the latest research findings on the spec­
tacular yet endangered sanctuary.
Peter van Ham is an author and photographer who has been researching Himalayan culture formore than thirty-five years, documenting it in seventeen books to date.

On the 300th anniversary of Kant’s birth, 2024: Fromthe search for knowledge and a new kind of science
to debates about religion, human equality andfreedom of mankind, the demand for civil rights,
mercantilism and cosmopolitanism – many issues
that great thinkers of the Enlightenment dealt withare now fundamental to our society. And we are still
striving for some goals.
The great Enlightenment philosopher ImmanuelKant was born 300 years ago – a perfect occasion
to take a closer look at the “long 18th century”. What
were the most important debates at the time?
What contradictions and ambivalences, conflicts
over concepts and demands can be revealed today?
This comprehensive publication with contributions
by international experts explores the changing ideasof science, equality and tolerance of the past andthe present.

From ultra-Orthodox to secular:
Sexuality in Jewish tradition
SEX
Jewish Positions
Sensuous, bold and topical – this volume with its
varied illustrations presents the entire spectrumof Jewish ideas about sexuality. In doing so it
examines widely-held and contradictory stereotypes, according to which Jewish tradition either
supports sexuality or restricts it through stringent
regulations.
The popular series and dating shows Unorthodox,
Shtisel and Jewish Matchmaking cater to a sur­prising desire for a peek into the intimate life ofJews. Whether their protagonists are ultra-Orthodox,
secular or somewhere in between: Pop culture
simplifies a topic that has been the subject of
profound discourse within the Jewish world eversince the commandment to “be fruitful and multiply.”
Rabbis and religious scholars, sex therapists,scientists and artists grapple with traditional ideas
and contemporary challenges, and explore Jewish
positions on sexuality in all its diversity.

Trailblazing graffiti and strf eet art
before Banksy – the first our decades
ILLEGAL
Street Art Graffiti 1960–1995
Wild, free and ephemeral – street art and graffiti
are a worldwide phenomenon. From Brassaï, who
led graffiti into mainstream art around 1960, via
the Sprayer of Zurich in the 1970s to the first
Banksy works in the UK – ‘Illegal’ tells a prehistoryof street art and graffiti.
Hardly any of the works of this short-lived genre
still exist today. They were also often documented
illegally and under adverse conditions. Illustrated
here are key works and rarities that have neverbeen shown. All were created illegally, i.e. without
permission, directly for an audience on the street –not for museum contexts. “People say graffiti is ugly,
irresponsible and childish. But that’s only if it’s done
properly” [Banksy]. Long-standing picture research
has condensed a selection of works by some
100 artists from over a dozen countries and theirreferences to pop music, avant-garde art andliterature. We discuss why these artists in particularwere significant trendsetters for street art andgraffiti before Banksy.

Provocative and political – with art for
democracy and social change
HANS HAACKE
Hans Haacke is a legend of political conceptual art– and at the same time, his work is highly topicaland of great relevance today. As a founding figureof artistic institutional critique, Haacke redefined
the relationship between art and society andinfluenced following generations of artists. Thislavishly illustrated volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the German-American artist
with works from 1959 to the present day.
Hans Haacke’s oeuvre is provocative and political,
but also humorous and poetical. In his early workin the 1960s he initially reflected on biological andphysical (eco-)systems before turning his attention
to socio-­political structures, which he then subjects
to a sharp, often unsparing analysis. Thus he­examines the abuse of power, historical and political
upheavals, the entanglement of public institutions,politics and the economy, and not least anti­democratic tendencies. He insists on the societal
relevance of art and its transformative potential.

The young artists of the Brücke –rebels and influencers of their time
GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM
The Artist Group Brücke andthe Dawning of Modernism
In a time like our own, where a young generation
feels a great need to change our way of living,
thinking and organizing ourselves, the publicationon the artist group Brücke feels particularly
relevant. These young artists also wanted to renew
art and life in the German Empire and have eversince inspired younger generations of artists.
In bright paintings with simplified forms and large
fields of colour they expressed rather their feelings
than an external reality. They were interested in
topics like man and nature, the naked body, portraits,
self-portraits, the merging of life and art and life in
the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. The catalogue
discusses among other topics how we today perceiveand can take on challenging themes like inspirationfrom African and Oceanian colonial cultural objects
and very young female models.

In a world that is increasingly dominated by technology, the examination of one’s own consciousness

Claude Monet and Paris – two
French stars come together
MONET
AND THE IMPRESSIONIST CITYSCAPE
In 1867, Monet (1840–1925) turned his back on
tradition when he focused on the bustling lifeof Paris from the balcony of the Louvre. He was
fascinated by the present in the growing French
capital rather than the old masters. In a series ofthree paintings he created a new pictorial topic.
The important works from Berlin, Den Haag and
Oberlin come together in exhibitions and this­lavishly illustrated book.
Monet’s cityscapes of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois,
the Jardin de l’Infante and the Quai du Louvre areconsidered to be the earliest Impressionist city
views. In them he casts a completely new artistic
eye over the modern metropolis being rebuilt byHaussmann. By doing so he also inspired artists
like Caillebotte and Pissarro to create their own
cityscapes. A new subject was born which the
publication reveals in all its beauty through theexample of Monet’s three principal works as wellas others by famous Impressionist and Pos­t­
impressionist artists.

The first publication on Calatrava’s
artistic work in its entirety
SANTIAGO CALATRAVAArt
Santiago Calatrava is primarily known for his
spectacular architectural feats that span the globe.
Yet he has never limited himself to architecturealone; rather, he sees himself as an artist. Withhis painting, sketching, drawing, sculpture, inter­
vention on ceramic, installations and architecture,art represents for Calatrava the purest path forconveying emotion. This comprehensive publicationis completely devoted to Calatrava’s art, revealing
his unmistakable style and profound creativity.
In Santiago Calatrava’s mind, there has never been aseparation between architecture and art. Both havebeen a source of nourishment and a laboratory of
expression, with the ultimate goal of finding apersonal language. With large reproductions and awide selection of works, this book details an oeuvrethat has been silently growing throughout Calatrava’s
life in a multitude of mediums. His artworks have attimes been shown in tandem with his architecturein the world’s top museums, but this publication
presents for the first time his artistic work in its
entirety.

In collaboration with Nick Mafi, an independent journalist and author, who writes forArchitectural Digest, Esquire, GQ, Slate and Vanity Fair.

Nickol captures vital moments in time – and inlife – with an almost tangible warmth and energy.
She often focuses on exploring the relationships
between people and their environments. She isinterested in families as they come together to shareexperiences and in individuals, as they navigate theirspace alone. Through more than 150 colour andblack-and-white images, Nickols showcases her
portraits of young women, demonstrating a sincerityin her approach that breaks down barriers andallows her to connect deeply with her subjects.

A global journey and portrait of humanity
through breathtaking duotone photographs
DAVID KATZENSTEIN
Distant Journeys
The photographs collected here represent David
Katzenstein’s lifelong artistic journey as a visualchronicler of humanity. Travelling to many partsof the world, he experienced other cultures andpeoples first-hand. The photographs presented
here were drawn from a much larger body ofwork, with the hope of creating a journey throughjourneys for the viewer.
Katzenstein’s travels took him to thirty-sevencountries over forty-nine years. What started asa way to combine his two passions – photography
and travel – has grown into a visual chronicle ofhumanity. Steeped in the tradition of documentary
photography, Katzenstein imbues his work withimmediacy, emotional engagement and a deep
respect for his subjects. He takes the viewer withhim on his journeys, sharing public and private
moments at first hand.
David Katzenstein is a New York–based photographer. He is the authorof Ritual, also published by Hirmer.
