Lucio Fontana.
1971, (21,5 x 30 cm), 270 pp. German text, 285 ills., including 44 doublesided colour plates., hardcover and dustwrappers.
¶ German edition of this is the first monograph of the work of Argentinean artist Lucio Fontana, published 2 years after his death- which is especially surprising considering his work is celebrated worldwide, and continuously influencing younger generations of artists. Initially working with abstract and Expressionist painters, Fontana began to break away towards a unique style of his own creation, spurring his several manifestos, including his own movement, Spatialism. These works varied from pioneering sculpture and light installations, to the instantly recognizable slash (Tagli) and holes (Buchi) pieces. Alongside these works, Fontana constantly worked on varying styles of tactile clay sculptures and graphic works. Condition good.

Michelangelo. Divine Draftsman and Designer.
November 2017, (24,1 x 30 cm), 392 pp. English text, 370 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ A comprehensive and breathtakingly illustrated presentation of the genius of Michelangelo by the world's leading expert on the artist. The Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) was especially celebrated for his disegno, a term that embraces both drawing and conceptual design. Featuring more than 200 drawings as well as paintings, sculpture, and architectural plans and views, this authoritative examines Michelangelo as 'the divine draftsman and designer' whose work, according to Giorgio Vasari, embodied the unity of the arts. Carmen C. Bambach delivers a thorough and engaging narrative of the artist's long career, beginning with his training under Ghirlandaio and Bertoldo and ending with his 17-year appointment as chief architect of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. In each thematic chapter, related drawings and other works are illustrated and discussed together, many for the first time, to provide new insights into Michelangelo's creative process. In addition to St. Peter's, other featured projects include the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the Tomb of Pope Julius II, and the architecture of the Campidoglio in Rome. Michelangelo's theories of art are also explored, and new consideration is given to his personal life and affections and their effect on his creative output. Magnificent in every way, this book will be the foremost publication about this remarkable artist for many years.

Babylon Babies. Marie-Jo Lafontaine. (Signed and numbered).
2013, (23 x 26,5 cm), 248 pp., Dutch, English, French text, numerous ills., hardcover.
¶ Amid her current explorations of multilayered topics such as identity, the city, cultural spaces in urban areas, and youth culture, Belgian artist Marie-Jo Lafontaine presents her newest series, Babylon Babies. Comprised of large-format portrait photographs of teenagers superimposed on brightly colored monochromatic backgrounds, Babylon Babies performs an iconography of youth that goes beyond the usual clichas, confronting the viewer with independent young people whose photographic representations refuse any context and are therefore open for projection. In her multicultural cast of head shots, Lafontaine goes far beyond the United Colors of Benetton, presenting a familiar, beautiful array of youths, but never on the suspicious level of the ber youth. All 2000 copies of this trade edition are signed by the artist. This is nr. 1564.

Jean-Jacques Lequeu: Bastisseur de Fantasmes.
11 2018, (28,5 x 22,5 cm), 176 pp. FRench text, 200 colour ills,, hardcover
¶ Six months before he died in poverty and forgotten, Jean-Jacques Lequeu (1757-1826) donated one of the most singular and fascinating graphic oeuvres of his time to the French National Library. The set of several hundred drawings presented here in its entirety for the first time, is a testimonial to the solitary and obsessive downward spiral of an exceptional artist that goes well beyond the first steps of an architectural career. Using the precise technical tool represented by the geometric working drawing made in wash, which he filled with handwritten notes, Lequeu scrupulously described the monuments and imaginary factories that filled his imaginary landscapes, rather than carrying out projects. But this initiatory journey, which he made without leaving his studio and enriched with figures and narratives from his library, this pathway that led him from temple to bush, from artificial grotto to palace, from kiosk to subterranean labyrinth, resolved itself as a quest to find himself. To see everything and describe it all, systematically, from the animal to the organic, from fantasy and raw sex to the self portrait, became the mission he assigned to himself. As a typical representative of the artisanal class that tried, with the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, to rise socially and break free of the world of trades, but quickly became disenchanted when the new order and new hierarchies were built, Lequeu, the child of his century, the century of licentiousness and Anglo-Chinese gardens, nevertheless pursued an entirely free and singular path. Reduced to employment in a subordinate office, ignored by those in place, now far from his roots, but freed of social or academic pressure, he stalked his dreams with the obstinacy of a builder and without compromise.

The Hungry Eye. Eating, drinking and European Culture from Rome to the Renaissance.
09 2021, (21 x 27,5 cm), 328 pp. English, 210 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Eating and drinking can be aesthetic experiences as well as sensory ones. The Hungry Eye takes readers from antiquity to the Renaissance to explore the central role of food and drink in literature, art, philosophy, religion, and statecraft. In this beautifully illustrated book, Leonard Barkan provides an illuminating meditation on how culture finds expression in what we eat and drink. Plato's Symposium is a timeless philosophical text, one that also describes a drinking party. Salome performed her dance at a banquet where the head of John the Baptist was presented on a platter. Barkan looks at ancient mosaics, Dutch still life, and Venetian Last Suppers. He describes how ancient Rome was a paradise of culinary obsessives, and explains what it meant for the Israelites to dine on manna. He discusses the surprising relationship between Renaissance perspective and dinner parties, and sheds new light on the moment when the risen Christ appears to his disciples hungry for a piece of broiled fish. Readers will browse the pages of the Deipnosophistae - an ancient Greek work in sixteen volumes about a single meal, complete with menus - and gain epicurean insights into such figures as Rabelais and Shakespeare, Leonardo and Vermeer. A book for anyone who relishes the pleasures of the table, The Hungry Eye is an erudite and uniquely personal look at all the glorious ways that food and drink have transfigured Western arts and high culture.

Mythen van het atelier (Breitner cover).
2010, (23,8 x 27,9 cm), 240 pp. Dutch text, 200 ills., hardcover.
¶ Het atelier van de 19de-eeuwse kunstenaar was een werkplaats, maar ook een ontmoetings- en marktplaats. Werkkamer en atelierpraktijk werden gebruikt om het imago van de kunstenaar vorm te geven en droegen bij aan de totstandkoming van het romantische beeld van de kunstenaar. In de 19de eeuw verandert de schilder van een eenvoudige handwerksman in een 'pictor doctus', een kunstenaar die met zijn hoofd werkt. De kunstenaar wordt steeds meer een genie en profileert zich ook als zodanig. Tegelijk kent de eeuw tal van technische ontwikkelingen. Voor de schilderkunst was misschien wel de belangrijkste de uitvinding van de verftube rond 1840. Daardoor werd het schilderen in de buitenlucht een stuk eenvoudiger. Mythen van het atelier is een fascinerend, toegankelijk, rijk geïllustreerd boek over een belangrijk aspect van de 19de-eeuwse schilderpraktijk. Het boek, met bijdragen van tal van specialisten, biedt inzicht in de atelierpraktijken van grote meesters als Breitner, Israels, Toorop, Koekkoek, Tadema en vele anderen. [romantiek] [haagse school]

Pieter Soutman Life and oeuvre.
2012, (22,5 x 29,5 cm),, xxii, 383 pp. English text, 204 ills. (22 ills. full colour), hardcover.
¶ (OCULI: Studies in the Arts of the Low Countries, 12). While often cited for his relationship to Pieter Paul Rubens's studio and his work for the courts of Sigismund III of Poland and the Orange court of Frederick Hendrik and Amalia van Solms, Pieter Soutman has never received critical study. Pieter Soutman: Life and Ïuvre is the first comprehensive consideration of this understudied painter, draftsman, and printmaker. It comprises eight chapters that frame Soutman's training, his movements through the cities and courts of Antwerp, Warsaw, Haarlem, and The Hague, and his unusual production as a Dutch artist working in a style associated with Flemish art, followed by a fully researched catalogue raisonné of Soutman's paintings, drawings, and prints. ith only six signed paintings known, the catalogue offers an important discussion of the additional 44 pictures associated with Soutman, nine rejected works, and three copies; of the 38 accepted drawings, 42 lost drawings, and 21 rejected works; and concludes with catalogue of Soutman's 193 prints that includes an inclusive list of states and copies. Careful research of Soutman's production additionally sheds new light on artists and patrons associated with his work. Soutman's connection to Rubens's workshop and print production results in reattribution of paintings and drawings associated with Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. Recently discovered letters from Soutman to Constantijn Huygens offer a better understanding of Soutman's work for the Orange court and his potential connection to Rembrandt van Rijn. And by repositioning Soutman within the context of the Haarlem art market and its Catholic collectors, a better understanding of competition, taste, and networks of patronage is gained.

Charlotte Perriand. Complete Works Volume 4: 1969-1999.
10 2019, (23 x 30,5 cm), 528 pp English, 446 colour & 204 b/w ills., hardcover.
¶ The concluding fourth volume of this definitive monograph on Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) covers the last three decades of her long career. At the core is the Les Arcs skiing resort in the French Alps, where Perriand played a key role in the project development. A pioneer of bioclimatic architecture, she oversaw the architectural and urban design of Arc 1600 and Arc 1800 and created the interiors and entire outfitting down to cutlery and china for the more than 4,500 apartments. Les Arcs, an extraordinary undertaking both in sheer size and the extent of Perriand's contribution, marks the culmination of her research on alpine housing in unison with nature. The book also features a number of projects - housing and art spaces - between Paris and Tokyo, in which she aimed once more to push the borders of a specific modern, cultivated way of living. It also offers a comprehensive appraisal of seven decades' work that manifests the creative force and vision of this extraordinary woman, one of the most eminent protagonists of modern architecture and design.
