The latest publication in Strandberg Publishing's series of scaled-down design classics > Finn Juhl - Life, Work, World tells Finn Juhl's story (1912-1989) and places his works into the context of their times - from the break-through of modernism around 1930 through the heights of cabinet-maker's furniture in the 1940s and 1950s, and up until the re-emergence of near-forgotten masterpieces in the 1990s, their sublime execution admired afresh.

Die renommierte britische Künstlerin Jenny Saville setzt sich in ihrem malerisch-grafischen Oeuvre mit der jahrhundertealten Tradition von Körperbildern auseinander. Ihre Figurendarstellungen oszillieren zwischen der Idealisierung der Form und deren Dekonstruktion. Saville lässt sich von der Kunstgeschichte - von alten Meistern wie Leonardo und Raffael bis hin zu Egon Schiele, Picasso, Francis Bacon und Lucian Freud - zu einer Malerei inspirieren, die von Körperlichkeit, Fleischlichkeit, dem Zusammenspiel von neuen und alten Techniken geprägt ist. Ob sie die Geschichte, die Körper anderer oder sich selbst darstellt, ihr Werk zeichnet sich immer dadurch aus, dass es sich über konventionelle Vorstellungen von Schönheit und Hässlichkeit hinwegsetzt.Als Mitglied der Young British Artists (YBAs) erneut Jenny Saville (*1970 in Cambridge) erneuerte sie die zeitgenössische figurative Malerei: oszillierend zwischen Figuration und Abstraktion thematisiert sie die Repräsentation und Wahrnehmung des Körpers.

The third in a series of books investigating the future of the museum, following on "The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues" (2020) and "Imagining the Future of the Museum: 21 Dialogues With Architects" (2022). Rounding out the previous volumes, which examined the "software" and the "hardware" of the museum, the 40 dialogues in the third installment of the trilogy survey the social, cultural, economic, institutional, and technological conditions of the wider ecology in which museums operate. The conversations include leading figures from around the world, engaging voices not heard in the prior volumes: artists, curators, collectors, members of the art trade, sociologists, entrepreneurs, and others. Together, they offer a portrait of an art world seeking to adapt to a rapidly changing society.ANDRÁS SZÁNTÓ (*1964, Budapest), PhD, advises museums, cultural institutions, and leading brands on cultural strategy. An author and editor, his writings have appeared in the New York Times, Artforum, the Art Newspaper, and many other publications. He has overseen the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University and the Global Museum Leaders Colloquium at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Szántó, who lives in Brooklyn, has been conducting conversations with art-world leaders since the early 1990s, including as a frequent moderator of the Art Basel Conversations series.

This book focuses solely on the Shonandai cultural centre, the first major public project of Itsuko Hasegawa. It is the unlikely successor to the previous books we made on the works of Aldo and Hannie Van Eyck and Giancarlo de Carlo. Shonandai belongs to a different time -1980s- and a different place -Japan- but it shares the desire of the earlier generations to 'overcome' modernism. Hasegawa achieves this most outlandish way, possible perhaps only in Japan in the 1980s. This is where the 1960s techno-avant-garde comes full circle. The building is presented with photographs by Stefano Graziani, as well as technical drawings. This book is part of the Everything without Content series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis. Are you participating again?Photograph: Stefano Graziani.

Accompanies an exhibition at the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Spring 2025. This book demonstrates how Japanese art aesthetically permeates and comments on the changes and uncertainties of existence in a variety of ways. It deals with weathered wooden sculptures, Hokusai's "Great Wave" as well as tea ceramics, some of which have been skilfully repaired with gold lacquer. Also on display are images depicting human life with and on the water, cherry blossom festivals and courtly butterfly dances. With Ueda Rikuo, Hide Nasu, Shiriagari Kotobuki, Peter Granser and Mari Kashiwagi, surprising positions in contemporary art, tea culture and poetry have their say, reflecting in different ways the panta rhei attitude to life that has always characterised Japan.

The rediscovery of a still underappreciated artist who, along with Auguste Rodin, revolutionised sculpture in the 19th century.Artist and artisan, art theorist and proto-installation artist, master of high publicity performances and rival of Auguste Rodin - Medardo Ross was one of the great pioneers of Modernism. The catalogue presents a comprehensive retrospective of the artist with more than fifty sculptures and a large selection of photographs, photocollages, and drawings. It follows the relational thinking of Medardo Rosso, who frequently exhibited his output with comparable works, and contextualizes his oeuvre with selected works by about fifty artists - among them Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, Phyllida Barlow, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brancüi, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti, David Hammons, Eva Hesse, Robert Morris, and Andy Warhol - who resonate directly or indirectly with Rosso.Text: Georges Didi-Huberman, Heike Eipeldauer, Elena Filipovic, Ines Gebetsroither, Francesco Guzzetti, Karola Kraus, Lisa LeFeuvre , Megan R.

An enlightening introduction to the life and work of Louise Bourgeois, whose abstract sculptures and unconventional art offer profound insight into both her personal life and the larger social issues of her age, solidifying her as one of the most important feminist artists of the twentieth century. Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) is best known for her monumental sculptures: towering, dark and warped structures that are often isolated, evoking a myriad of emotions from hope and fear to anguish and anxiety. But she also worked prolifically with fabric, weaving together her personal life with her art to tell powerful stories of her traumatic memories and experiences. This book is an enlightening introduction to the life and work of Bourgeois. Bringing together her extensive and beguiling body of work, from her early paintings and ink drawings to her large-scale sculptural installations incorporating textiles and tapestries, it reveals the profound personal and social insight of an extraordinary artist who transformed violence and vulnerability into art, solidifying her as one of the most important feminist artists of the twentieth century.
