This second volume of Gehry's catalogue raisonné of drawings gives us a comprehensive view of the work that defines one of the most expressive architects of our time. In an industry where the final product is reliant on many hands and machines, Gehry¿s drawings are an intimate peek into his creative process. Pritzker Prize winner Frank Gehry is widely considered to be one of the world¿s most important living architects. Much of Gehry¿s genius can be found in his drawings, works of art in their own right, whose progressions from paper architecture to built poststructuralist reality have changed our own visual landscape forever. This is the second volume of the collection the drawings of Frank Gehry, documenting the sketches and studies of one of our foremost artists and designers alongside photographs of the completed maquettes and realized structures.

The Brazilian painter Maxwell Alexandre, 32, has soared rapidly in the art world, with solo exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MAC Lyon, the David Zwirner Gallery in London, and recently the Shed, New York, and La Casa Encencida in Madrid. Formerly a professional roller-skater from Rochina, a favela of Rio de Janeiro, Alexandre includes references to the local culture, from scenes of confrontation with the police to symbols of football or church. Popular culture, in the form of logos, brands, and iconic personalities, also populates his work. ¿It was not a political choice. It was a self-portrait. I¿m Black, I¿m painting Black people. The first four paintings I did on pardo [Pardo é Papel series] were self-portraits before I realized the meaning of pardo. I never wanted to be a banner of the identity of Black people in the favela, but it was my own identity,¿ he explains.In this book, Maxwell Alexandre presents his new series, ¿Delivery¿. In this new body of work, he moves away from the brown kraft paper that has been the signature support for his ¿Pardo é Papel¿ series, to painting directly onto doors. As the name suggests, at the center of this series are the (mostly) men and women who assure the food delivery services that have become ubiquitous worldwide. Maxwell Alexandre¿s work is in the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, the Museu de arte de São Paulo (MASP) and the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) collections. The artist was in residency at the Delfina Foundation (London, 2018), then later at the MAC Lyon (2019). He is represented by the gallery A Gentil Carioca (Rio).

Through conversations between Irini Pari and Dimitris Daskalopoulos, we discover the driving force, the challenges, and the subjects that moved the collector to assemble this extraordinary collection.

Cahiers d¿Art presents a new collaboration with German artist Thomas Schütte. The book features his series Old Friends Revisited, composed of 27 ceramic heads, each created in three unique casts, with different colors and glazes. The series is presented in its entirety and recounts the genesis of this masterly ensemble. As the art historian Éric de Chassey writes in the book: ¿They each portray old men, whose features, although deeply individualized in the decrepitude of the flesh, are not meant to depict specific human beings. In 1994, Schütte stated that these `criminal faces¿ are not realistic, but they really exist¿. They conjure the characters of Beckett's last play, What Where, shrouded so that they appear `as floating faces dissolving in and out of the TV screen,¿ mask-like, dramatically lit so that the marks and wrinkles on their faces are prominent. Though expressionless, the four protagonists flatly utter repetitive sentences that hint that they have been both torturers and tortured, pathetic and tragic figures at the same time. Just like Schütte¿s Old Friends, revisited, bound by their turpitudes and final destiny, mixing cruelty, humor, frailty, grandiloquence, and decorativeness, as the most fitting way to address our current situation.

Chess Knightmares is a cycle of nearly four dozen unbridled drawings by Calder of wild chess scenarios. Bawdy female knights, conspiring bishops, and misbehaving queens engage clueless rooks, lewd pawns, and mating kings. Chess Knightmares, the cycle of nearly four dozen frequently savage and sometimes downright salacious drawings that Alexander Calder dedicated to the game in 1944. They unleash an otherwise regulated game into frenzied conflicts of immorality, with executions and sexual mishaps Calder's King, Queen, Knights, Bishops, Rooks, and Pawns don't give a damn about the rules. They've kicked off all constraints. They move any way they like. They pose, preen, and prance across the chess board, giddily engaging in gossip, backstabbing, sex acts, mayhem, even murder. Marcel Duchamp, who was passionate about the game, added alternate titles to many of Calder drawings.
