Designed in collaboration with the Weston family, this publication features over 80 works by the four photographers, leaving the leading role to the founder Edward Weston, with 40 of his pictures. These include almost all of his best known masterpieces: from his textural portraits to his nudes celebrating form, from his sand dunes to his plain objects transformed into sculptures, all the way to his famous close-ups of vegetables and shells, that have marked the history of photography of the last century, taking it from the late 19th- to early 20th-century pictorialist vision to an innovative modernist and surrealist figuration that made Edward Weston one of the absolute masters of world photography. Alongside his works, the book includes a selection of about 20 images by his son Brett, certainly the most determined in seeking a possible interpretation of his father's lesson, which he clearly found in landscape, a subject he studied and captured through geometries evoking abstract art. Cole Weston, represented by two further collections, on the other hand distanced himself from his father through the use of colour. Cara Weston - Edward's granddaughter who is still active today - is a refined black and white photographer, offering her personal contemporary take on classical themes.

Photographing Art presents a selection of photographs taken by the Mexican-German photographer between 1974 and 2018. An unmissable testimony of the world of contemporary art, with its emotions, relations, moments of joy and hard work, the encounters, the connections, and the sense of being part of a community lined with an artist's creative solitude. These are the contents and themes emerging from the pages of this book, a publication that is a testimony to its time, with its artistic expressions and everchanging trends. Photo-moments overlooked by news, media, art catalogues, and history of art, but immortalized by a close observer of the evolutions of contemporary research also thanks to his wife, the curator Adelina Cüberyan von Fürstenberg who can be credited for some of the most significant moments of international art. With his camera Egon witnessed what was going on in the art world but not from an institutional angle, capturing the facade, but immortalizing the spirit that made art and artists thrive. Attentive to every idea, detail or movement, every anticipated or unexpected moment, Franz Egon von Fürstenberg's camera captured the instant, the fleeting moment when a person feels free and natural, not framed or posing as a celebrity. The pictures in the book depict several artists, many of whom are among the most interesting personalities of our time, such as Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys, Marina Abramovic, Jannis Kounellis, Mario and Marisa Merz, Chen Zhen, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. Born in 1939 in Berlin, Franz Egon von Fürstenberg worked as assistant to designer Pierre Cardin in Paris and then to photographer Alain de Ferron in Geneva, where he met and married his lifelong companion Adelina Cüberyan. Over the years he collaborated with many artists and several art spaces around the world and his photos have been published in magazines, papers and art catalogues. His archives are a source of inestimable memories helping us understand the origins of those encounters, exhibitions, connections and developments that have unfolded throughout the generations over the course of four decades, giving rise to our present contemporary art world.

"Road to Repeal: 50 Years of Struggle in Ireland for Contraception and Abortion opens in 1970 when the Irish Women's Liberation Movement burst onto the streets and screens of a society bewildered by women demanding equal status in the home and in the workplace. It tracks the bitter backlash to their successes that culminated in the Eighth Amendment's fixture in the Irish Constitution in 1983. Over five decades, Road to Repeal describes and depicts individual tragedy, referendums, court cases, the actions of a misogynist Church and State. It shines a light on the journey of thousands of women and girls who braved stigma and hardship, often travelling alone and anonymously for medical treatment they were denied in Ireland. Road to Repeal closes with the visually dazzling Together For Yes campaign whose determination and grit finally got rid of the Eighth Amendment, Article 40.3.3 on May 25th, 2018." --
