Super rare and bookshop favourite early collection of artworks by ero-guro master Toshio Saeki (1945—2019), published in 1971 by Gakugeishorin. Stunning large-format softcover collection of exquisitely printed saturated full-bleed colour and b/w artworks on warm matte paper stock capturing this legendary underground artist at the height of his powers, housed in original publisher's cardboard slipcase. His third book collection featuring so many of his finest works. Postface by Hiraoka Masaaki in Japanese. A must!

Toshio Saeki (1945—2019) was an illusive Japanese illustrator and painter, and icon of 1970s Tokyo counterculture, known for combining Japanese folklore, Yōkai spirits and elements of Western art with his own sophisticated aesthetics to create a unique, sensational world of eros, dark humour, and horror. Given the title “Erotic Engineer” by Timothy Leary, Saeki's provocative art broke all sexual taboos, questioned Japanese ideology and traditional views on love, desire and gender roles. Saeki’s surgically-precise graphic work is closely related to the Japanese cultural phenomenon ‘Erotic, Grotesque, Nonsense’ (ero, guro, nansensu).

“Toshio Saeki conjures death with a pen”—Shūji Terayama, 1969.

This collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. A large part of the artist’s role in today’s professionalized art system is being present. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Essays on Lutz Bacher, Stanley Brouwn, Christopher D’Arcangelo, Trisha Donnelly, David Hammons, Agnes Martin, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Charlotte Posenenske, and Albert York.

Martin Herbert is a writer and critic living in Berlin. He is associate editor of ArtReview and writes for international art journals. Previous books include The Uncertainty Principle (2014) and Mark Wallinger (2011).

First edition, now out-of-print in all editions, Mike Kelley — Materialist Aesthetics and Memory Illusions is a critical appraisal of Mike Kelley’s politics of culture as expressed in his visual art and writings. An essay by Laura López Paniagua, with an introduction by John Miller.

American artist Mike Kelley (1954–2012) was the mastermind behind some of the most bizarre and instantly recognizable artistic projects of the 1990s. Dedicated as he was to visual art, Kelley was also an insightful theorist who wrote prolifically about his own creations as well as the historical context in which he worked. His writing reveals a matrix of deeply felt theories regarding the aesthetics of the 1980s, ’90s and 2000s, and his concern with victim culture and repressed memory syndrome.

This book presents a new perspective on the life and work of the artist, assessing his personal philosophy via art as well as writing. Art historian Laura López Paniagua places Kelley’s work in conversation with the theories of thinkers such as Georges Bataille, Walter Benjamin, Pierre Bourdieu, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Through Paniagua’s transdisciplinary approach, Kelley’s oeuvre emerges as a stance based in materialist aesthetics.

To love and devour by Tolia Astakhishvili was published on the occasion of the inaugural exhibition at the new site of the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in Venice, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
The book, produced in close collaboration with the Lorenzo Mason Studio, brings together drawings, paintings, and archive images composed directly amid the cracks, wounds, and skin of a building located in the historic center of Venice, which served as the artist's studio for a number of months. Through processes of transformation of the space, addition and subtraction, expansion and contraction, Astakhishvili has created a project shot through with a deep sense of disruption, distortion and fragmentation—a feeling of uncertainty that is reflected in the way in which visitors to the installation are given the freedom to move around, without having to concentrate on a center or to follow a pre-set route. Appropriately, then, the book takes the form of a stream of images, in which the spaces and materials of the building (wood, glass, dust, mold, bricks, concrete, plaster …) enter into a dialog with the drawings, paintings, sculptures, collages, and photographs made by the artist herself and the other invited artists, including Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili, Zurab Astakhishvili, Thea Djordjadze, Heike Gallmeier, Rafik Greiss, Dylan Peirce, James Richards, and Maka Sanadze.

For Tolia Astakhishvili, architecture is the space of projection of ideas, which are developed in that space, generating actions that are separate but conducted simultaneously: alteration of structural elements, pictorial and graphic composition, and creation of perceptive ambiguities—of space, light, and sound. The book compiles the traces of this practice, serving as a sort of diachronic diary in the form of images, constituting a complete encapsulation of the artist's poetics.

The book also features a new interview with the artist by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Tolia Astakhishvili (born 1974 in Tbilisi, Georgia) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work mainly takes the form of installations.

Rare first 1969 printing of the seminal "Art Povera", the phenomenal and now legendary critical/photographic book by the great Italian art historian, critic and curator Germano Celant (1940—2020) that internationally established the so-called Art Povera / Arte Povera movement (meaning "poor art", coined by Celant in 1967) and published by Studio Vista, London and printed in Italy.

Includes profiles of major artists of the movement, including a short text followed by pages of full-page photographs for each artist. Artists featured: Walter de Maria, Michelangelo Pisteletto, Stephen Kaltenbach, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Beuys, Eva Hesse, Michael Heizer, Ger van Elk, Lawrence Weiner, Luciano Fabro, Bruce Nauman, Joseph Kosuth, Jan Dibbets, Giovanni Anselmo, Robert Barry, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Dennis Oppenheim, Barry Flanagan, Robert Smithson, Giulio Paolini, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Alighiero Boetti, Giuseppe Penone, Franz Erhard Walther, Hans Haacke, Gilberto Zorio, Robert Morris, Marinus Boezem, Carl Andre, Emilio Prini, Richard Serra.

"This book does not aim at being an objective and general analysis of the phenomenon of art or life, but is rather an attempt to flank (both art and life) as accomplices of the changes and attitudes in the development of their daily becoming. This book does not attempt to be objective since the awareness of objectivity is false consciousness. The book, made up of photographs and written documents, bases its critical and editorial assumptions on the knowledge that criticism and iconographic documents give limited vision and partial perception of artistic work. The book, when it reproduces the documents of artistic work, refutes the linguistic mediation of photography. The book, even though it wants to avoid the logic of consumption, is a consumer's item. ... This book produces a collection of already old material. ... In this book there is no need to reflect in order to seek a unitary and reassuring value, immediately refuted by the the authors themselves, rather there is the necessity to look into it for the changes, limits, precariousness and instability of artistic work." — text from Celant's introduction "Stating That."

Revenge publishing - a new genre or as old as writing itself? Isn’t all writing, to some extent, a way to avenge an oversight or rejection, aiming to set the record straight? Many pieces in this collection were commissioned, accepted, and paid for but never published - whether due to common mishaps or more devious reasons. 'Corrected Proofs' seeks to remedy this. Alongside previously unpublished works, this collection includes newly written essays and interviews on figures like Lutz Bacher, Charles Ray, and Arnold J. Kemp. Heroes and villains - John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland, and Steven Parrino - share the stage with familiar names in unexpected contexts: Marcel Duchamp, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol. Rediscovered artists like Bob Smith and Stephen Varble appear alongside Lee Lozano, the January 6 insurrection, and The Fall.

Foreword by Randy Kennedy.

Bob Nickas is a writer and curator based in New York, where he has lived since 1984. He is the author of four collections of essays and interviews, Live Free or Die, The Department of Corrections, Komplaint Dept., and Corrected Proofs: Previously Unpublished, Uncollected, Unwanted, as well as Yesterworld: 2019 Diary.

First 1989 hardcover edition.

Aubrey Beardsley, one of the most fascinating figures of turn-of-the-century European culture, was a prodigious master who continues to defy those who thought his art would remain a prisoner of the 1890s. His acute black and white drawings touched the work of Bakst, Toulouse-Lautrec, Klee, and Picasso, among others, and, a century after his death, he continues to capture the imagination of artists, scholars, and enthusiasts alike.

In Reconsidering Aubrey Beardsley, editor Robert Langenfeld and nine distinguished essayists from England and America — including Brian Reade, lan Fletcher, John Stokes, and Karl Beckson — reevaluate Beardsley's art and writing from a variety of viewpoints, testing new perceptions and qualifying established judgments. Departing from previous studies, Langenfeld and his colleagues offer a broad assessment of this controversial and exciting figure. Topics treated include Beardsley's use of paradox in both art and writing, his influence on modern theatrical style, his attitude toward women, and his view of the artist/illustrator as literary critic. In addi-tion, an annotated secondary bibliography with more than 1500 entries, compiled by Nicholas Salerno, provides for the first time a comprehensive record of the many responses — books, articles, letters — to Beardsley's life and work.

For nearly a century Aubrey Beardsley has eluded the sharpest descriptive and biographical skills of his critics and admirers. As his centennial approaches, Reconsidering Aubrey Beardsley will provide a well-documented, richly illustrated source of knowledge for those interested in literature, theatre, gender studies, as well as art of the fin de siècle.

Robert Langenfeld received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University and is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Since 1983 he has served as editor of English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920, and in 1988, as co-publisher, he founded ELT Press and its 1880-1920 British Authors Series.

Dr. Langenfeld has published articles on George Moore, Shakespeare, and Hemingway, and co-authored, with David Eakin, George Moorés Correspondence with the Mysterious Countess. His George Moore: An Annotated Secondary Bibliography was published by AMS Press in 1987. He is also a major contributor to the Hardy and Shaw volumes in the Annotated Secondary Bibliography Series from Northern Illinois University Press. Dr. Langenfeld is currently working on George Mooré's Last Works: The Demise of an Iconoclast.

Bodily Extremities: Preoccupations with the Human Body in Early Modern European Culture

First 2003 hardcover edition.

A strong preoccupation with the human body - often manifested in startling ways - is a characteristic shared by early modern Europeans and their present-day counterparts. Whilst modern manifestations of this interest include body piercing, tattoos, plastic surgery and eating disorders, early modern preoccupations encompassed such diverse phenomena as monstrous births and physical deformity, body snatching, public dissection, flagellation, judicial torture and public punishment. This volume explores such extreme manifestations of early modern bodily obsessions and fascinations, and their wider cultural significance.

Agreeing that an interest in physical boundaries, extreme physical manifestations and situations developed and grew stronger during the early modern period, the essays in this volume investigate whether this interest can be traced in a wider range of cultural phenomena, and should therefore be given a prominent place in any future characterization of the early modern period. Taken as a whole, the volume can be read as an attempt to create a new context in which to explore the cultural history of the human body, as well as the metaphors of research and investigation themselves.

Publication on Polish painter Maria Anto (1936–2007), renowned for her metaphysical, dreamlike vision that merges figuration with elements of naïve art and poetic symbolism, published to accompany a major survey which took place in the Zachęta National Gallery of Art between 7 September 2017–4 February 2018, curated by Michał Jachuła with Katarzyna Kołodziej.

Maria Anto’s exhibition at the Zachęta was the first such extensive review of the artist’s paintings since her death in 2007. Focusing on her works in the 1960s and 1970s, it features about 60 paintings (individual and collective portraits, animal presentations, allegorical scenes and landscapes), as well as drawings and selected archival materials.

The artist’s work follows in the footsteps of the tradition of surrealism – metaphorical painting, naïve art, illustrative fantasy and fairy-tale characters – which have always been imbued with mystery and an atmosphere of uncanniness. As a professional painter, as far back as the beginning of her creative career, she consciously drew upon naïve art. She ignored current artistic tendencies as well as the principles of realistic imagery to the same degree, instead devoting herself to figurative art, combining imagination, memories, and everyday life. From today’s perspective, Maria Anto’s art from her most important and mature period seems to form an exceptionally original, separate position in art. Her paintings are an unprecedented presence on the Polish scene, and the artist created a huge collection of works, achieving an undisputed individualism as a painter.

The exhibition and this accompanying publication re-discovers not only Maria Anto’s art, but also present issues in the artistic practice of this woman-painter, who successfully worked in a male-dominated environment for several decades.

Essays by Michał Jachuła, Marcin Lachowski, Magdalena Uma and Karolina Zychowicz analyse the motifs and language of her painting, its reception and contexts, Agnieszka's Sketch. Maria Wasieczko and conversations with Zuzanna Janin, Olga Wolniak, Piotr Nowicki familiarise the figure of the artist and the time in which she created a stir.

First 1991 softcover edition of this 1989 interdisciplinary study of the debate surrounding crime and madness in France between 1880 and 1914. It argues that psychiatric theories of human behaviour and new sociological interpretations of crime combined to undermine the traditional foundations of the penal system, and helped to shape the new science of criminology.

The book focuses on a range of case-studies, covering many issues of contemporary concern: feminine hysteria and women's sexuality; male alcoholism, and racial degeneration; and crimes of passion, crowd violence, and revolutionary politics. Murders and Madness makes fascinating reading, and is a major contribution to our understanding of fin-de-siècle mentalités.

Ruth Harris is Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at New College, Oxford.

"[a] brilliant dive into the Parisian world of mayhem, murder and madness... her account is outstanding ... remarkably concise and well-written...
Harris' sensitivity to gender issues in these cases is exemplary ... her fine study shows that the "new medical history" is not a narrow specialism, but can be a potent agent of wider historical understanding?
French History

'Harris has written a useful, compendious, suggestive, often sensitive book.'–Times Literary Supplement

"This book represents a major contribution to the history of forensic medicine and the sexual stereotyping of men and women late in the nineteenth century ... the book's painstaking analysis of dozens of cases... gives it an authoritative tone that will not easily be challenged... fine scholarship."–Medical History

"Harris pushes beyond an analysis of existing scholarship to mine a rich vein of relevant but little-used primary source material... a fascinating and valuable book."–Journal of the British Society for the History of Science

Man into Wolf: An Anthropological Interpretation of Sadism, Masochism and Lycanthropy

Rare first 1951 British hardcover edition of Robert Eisler’s ground-breaking commentary on human violence. In Man into Wolf, basing his hypothesis on the writings of Carl Jung, Eisler proposes a prehistoric explanation for the origins of the werewolf and, more broadly, for violence itself. He suggests that primitive man had once been peaceful and vegetarian, until the Ice Age forced humans to kill in order to survive. According to Eisler, the traumatic necessity of eating meat to avoid starvation, coupled with wearing animal hides to avoid freezing, may have left a deep psychological imprint: a buried memory of becoming fur-covered beasts. From this, Eisler attempts to suggest the possibility of a historical—or rather prehistorical—evolutionist derivation of all crimes of violence, from the individual attack on life known as murder or manslaughter to the collective, organized killing we call war.

Eisler argues that evidence from prehistory can be made intelligible through Jung’s theory of archetypes surviving in the collective conscience and revealing themselves across the world in legends, myths, and rites. He also advances the provocative thesis that many contemporary serial killers were a particular breed of psychologically warped individuals who believed themselves to be werewolves. The book includes Eisler’s lecture given to the Royal Society of Medicine, together with extensive notes in which he discusses every possible aspect of the subject, ranging from the perverseness of the Marquis de Sade to the Grecian Bacchantes, from Green Men and agricultural ceremonies to a case study of John George Haigh.

Also included are chapters on Professor Jung’s archetypes and Neo-Lamarckism; the Roman Luperci and the Lupercalia ritual and their contemporary parallels; the flagellation of women in the Dionysian mysteries; a clear case of vampirism in the crimes of John George Haigh; and “Going Beserk.” The volume also contains many pages of Eisler’s notes, as well as appendices and an index. A remarkable and unusual work at the intersection of anthropology, psychology, mythology, and the study of violence, it will be of interest to students of anthropology, gender studies, psychology, and the history of ideas.

With an Introduction by Sir David K. Henderson.

The two story collections that established a master of supernatural horror, combined for the first time in one volume.

Thomas Ligotti's debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti crafted his own brand of existential horror. In decaying cities and lurid dreamscapes tormented by the lunatic pageantry of masks, puppets, and obscure ritual, Ligotti's works lay bare the sickening madness of the human condition. From his dark imagination emerge stories like "The Frolic" and "The Last Feast of Harlequin," waking nightmares that splinter the schemes validating our existence. Ligotti bends reality until it cracks, opening fissures through which he invites us to gaze on the unsettling darkness below.

After the end of his artistic studies, he relocated to Nagasaki and became a part of the so-called Ikebukuro Montparnasse, the area where many aspiring artists created their oeuvres. In 1943, the artist was drafted into the Second Sino-Japanese War and became a prisoner of war. Released only three years later, Furusawa went through a traumatic experience that would become an additional ground for his remarkable paintings. After the war, Furusawa made himself the first promoter of surrealism in Japan. The female nude (often the representation of nature in art) became a central figure in his works. One of the most remarkable works combining "Eros and Thanatos" is Nagasaki. In the image, we see a crucified nude wearing bloody thorns with a mushroom cloud in the background. The abbreviation AB2 signifies that this is the second atomic bombing (the first happened over Hiroshima). To some extent, we can compare these Japanese cities to the figure of Christ, regarding bombings as a disastrous atonement for the war crimes of the Japanese forces. The crucified nude may symbolize suffering nature itself. Furusawa was also a book illustrator and prominent printmaker who produced over 300 woodcut prints. He became enormously popular in Japan for his erotic prints. In 1960, he began to transfer his drawings from the 1940s using printmaking techniques. For more than thirty years he worked on the Shuragaki cycle (The bloody meeting with the hungry demon in hell), which he completed in 1993. Subjects like death, hunger, rape, looting and the landscape of China define his most powerful etchings and show the horrors of war. Goya's The Disasters Of War (1810s) was a significant influence on his print-making.

Original 1969 deluxe slipcase edition of Tomi Ungerer's controversial classic from 1969, Fornicon, a provocative portfolio of Ungerer's stunning line drawings of mechanophilia — machine sex. The ingenious and diverse pleasure devices seem to symbolize the absurdity of human desire, caricaturing love and lust mechanized by industrial society. One of the most celebrated works of erotic illustration of the 20th Century, and a masterpiece of 1960s counterculture, Fornicon ruffled so many feathers when first published by Ungerer and Richard Kasak that the award-winning French illustrator had to flee New York.

Heavy back slipcase w. gold-foiling contains the complete 64 sheets (62 illustrated plates, 1 double-sided title/colophon page, 1 double-sided text introduction by American poet and literary critic John Hollander).

"Black Power/White Power, with its Kama Sutra suggestion of simultaneous fellatio, has an undeniable sexual undercurrent, but Ungerer also addressed the sexual revolution head-on, assimilating the fluid line and stark patterning of Aubrey Beardsley in wildly phallocratic drawings of baroque pleasure devices and mechanical means of penetration. Published as an expensive folio, The Fornicon, these sprightly images—a literal, if perverse, expression of the desire to make love rather than war—provoked a strong negative reaction, effectively suspending Ungerer’s career as a children’s book artist (his works, he says, were banned from libraries) and precipitating his departure from New York..."—NY Books

Tomi Ungerer (b. 1931) is an award winning French illustrator and a writer in three languages. He has published over 140 books ranging from much loved children's books to controversial adult work; from the fantastic to the autobiographical. He is known for sharp social satire and witty aphorisms. He is renowned for his iconic Advertising campaigns and political posters against the Vietnam War and Racial Injustice which were representative of the burgeoning political consciousness in New York in the 1960’s when he was based at the time. His political engagement has continued to this day in campaigns against Racism and Fascism, for Nuclear disarmament, Ecology and numerous Humanitarian causes.

Good copy with wear to the edges/corners of the slipcase, some discolouration to the gold foil, and several plates have some light foxing and light corner creasing, but majority of contains Very Good. Contents are complete.

Lovely copy of Les Merveilles de la Nature, the 1971 slipcased, clothbound volume of erotic drawings by Argentine artist Leonor Fini (1918-1996), published in a limited edition of 1000 by Jean-Jacques Pauvert, Paris in 1971. Gold gilt–lettered red clothbound hardcover housed in red cloth covered card slipcase, pink laid endpapers, featuring some of Fini's most provocative drawings reproduced in black, red, and sepia on medium matte wove paper with accompanying poems by Cuban poet, author, and playwright Severo Sarduy.

Leonor Fini (1907–1996), an Argentine painter, designer, illustrator, and author, known for her depictions of powerful women, is considered one of the most important women artists of the twentieth century and also one of the most misunderstood.

Fini had no formal artistic training. Born in Buenos Aires, she travelled extensively from a young age, living in Milan and then moving to Paris in 1931-32 where she was considered part of a pre-war generation of Parisian artists, becoming acquainted with Carlo Carrà and Giorgio de Chirico, who inspired much of her work, and also Paul Éluard, Max Ernst, Georges Bataille, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and André Pieyre de Mandiargues. She had her first one person show in Paris when she was twenty-five at a gallery directed by Christian Dior. Her work caught on fast and was included in the pivotal and groundbreaking Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism exhibition at the MOMA in 1936 while at the same time she had her first New York exhibition at the avant-garde Julien Levy Galley. Surrealist artists in France came to know her as important in the movement. She is mentioned in most comprehensive works about surrealism, although she did not consider herself a surrealist, nor a part of any particular artistic movement. Fini preferred to stake her own claim on modernism with a vision that owes more to the farthest shores of her imagination than to any affiliation with art trends, schools or movements. The originality of her art as well as her intelligence, famous wit and charisma accorded her celebrity status in the Paris art world and beyond beginning in the late thirties. Her panache and glamour, once they found a place in the collective imagination of the time, turned her into a much-publicized fashion and feminist icon. Always controversial, with as many detractors as admirers, she lived and painted consummately on her own terms.

In Paris in 1939 she curated the inaugural exhibition of her friend Leo Castelli’s first gallery (of surrealist furniture) and shortly thereafter, just before the German occupation, she traveled with André and a new lover to Arcachon in the southwest of France to begin waiting out the war. She remained there for almost a year with Salvador and Gala Dali before moving to Monte Carlo where she met the young Italian diplomat, Stanislao Lepri who became one of the great and enduring loves of her life. As the war intensified she moved with Stanislao to Rome where she lived, worked and formed close friendships with Anna Magnani, Luchino Visconti and other leading figures of world of art and letters. After the Liberation of Paris in 1946 she returned there to live and work for the remainder of her life, exhibiting extensively around the world.

The predominant themes in Leonor Fini’s art are sexual tensions, mysteries and games. One of her favored subjects is the interplay between the dominant female and the passive male, and in many of her most powerful works the female takes the form of the sphinx to which she felt a strong identification. She was also a renowned portraitist, and among her subjects were such friends as writers André Pieyre de Mandiargues, Jean Genet, Klaus Mann (son of Thomas), such actresses as Anna Magnani and Suzanne Flon, ballerina Margot Fonteyn, film director Luchino Visconti and artists Meret Oppenheim and Leonora Carrington.

Her genius for stage and screen design is evident in her numerous ground breaking theater decors with their elaborate conception, costumes and phantasmagorical masks. She designed for the Paris Opera, George Balanchine’s ballet Palais de Crystal, and choreographer Roland Petit’s company Ballets de Paris, for Maria Callas at the La Scala theater in Milan, as well as over seventy productions at theaters in Paris between 1946 and 1969. She had a unique talent for film design and created costumes for Fellini's 8 ½ as well as for Renato Castellani's Romeo and Juliet and John Huston’s A Walk with Love and Death.

In the 1970s, she wrote three novels, Rogomelec, Moumour, Contes pour enfants velu and Oneiropompe. Her friends included Jean Cocteau, Giorgio de Chirico, and Alberto Moravia, Fabrizio Clerici and most of the other artists and writers inhabiting or visiting Paris. She illustrated many works by the great authors and poets, including Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire and Shakespeare, as well as texts by new writers. She was very generous with her illustrations and donated many drawings to writers to help them get published. She is, perhaps, best known for her graphic illustrations for Histoire d'O.

The provocative and much-publicized life of Leonor Fini was pure theater. Her story is that of a hard-won struggle to forge her life as a woman artist in a man’s world and to invent herself on her own terms. It is the story of a woman possessing exceptional independence, a highly original vision and great personal magnetism who lived passionately through her art and friendships and in the process became a feminist role model.

Edited by Eva Birkenstock.
Texts by Rhea Anastas, Annie Ochmanek, and Kristian Vistrup Madsen; an interview with the artist by Bruce Hainley; and an introduction by Michelle Cotton and Eva Birkenstock.

Since the early 1990s Richard Hawkins has developed a singular practice based on the dynamics of desire and the intense pleasure of looking. Published on the occasion of a major survey organised by Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna and Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover, Richard Hawkins: Potentialities documents painting, collage, sculpture and video produced between 2000 and 2025 – including series inspired by Forrest Bess, Tatsumi Hijikata, Antonin Artaud – favorites of Hawkins – but also Pierre Bonnard!

The title Potentialities refers to the capacity for something—anything—to be or become otherwise: the possibilities of being and becoming are limitless. In Hawkins’s work, this idea operates as both concept and method. Across paintings, collages, and videos, images and subjects remain in flux, cut, layered, and recombined into open-ended constellations.

In short, desire and fandom emerge not as fixed themes but as an ongoing, non-teleological field—excessive and in constant formation—in which meaning is continuously produced through relations rather than fixed references. Collage, understood as the bringing together of disparate elements, structures Hawkins’s “promiscuously referential” works. It operates as a mode of “cruising” through imagery from popular culture, literature, and the annals of art history, driven by juxtaposition, chance, and intuitive association.

The book includes writings by Hawkins about his work and research, essays by Rhea Anastas, Annie Ochmanek, and Kristian Vistrup Madsen, as well as an interview with the artist by Bruce Hainley.

Richard Hawkins (b. 1961, lives in Los Angeles, USA) has had solo exhibitions at institutions including Kunsthalle Wien (2025/26); LOEWE’s FW24 Men’s Show, Paris (2024); Tate Liverpool (2014); Le Consortium, Dijon (2013); the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (both 2010); de Appel, Amsterdam (2007); and Kunstverein Heilbronn (2003). He has also participated in numerous international group exhibitions, including Artists Space, New York (2023); Bonner Kunstverein (2019); Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam (2014); and the 2012 Whitney Biennial, New York. His work is held in major international collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Kistefos Museum, Norway; LOEWE Foundation, Madrid; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Nevada Museum of Art; Palm Springs Art Museum; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Walker Art Center; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Hawkins is a Professor of painting at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena.

Edited with text by Susanne Pfeffer. Text by Valeria Gordeev, Quinn Latimer, Christoph Menke, Cord Riechelmann, Ann-Charlotte Gunzel.

From “knitting pictures” to upside down palm trees and mannequin heads in glass boxes, Trockel’s caustic oeuvre defies classification.

Finally here, the enormous MMK catalogue! German multimedia artist Rosemarie Trockel rose to fame in the 1980s with her “knitting pictures” made with industrial weaving machines. In 1999 she was the first woman to exhibit at the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The brutality and absurdity of normative regimes emerge openly in the work of Rosemarie Trockel. Definitions, restrictions, paternalism, and violence due to gender become visible and transparent. Her advance is a risky, courageous, combative, and humorous one. In all media—drawing and painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and film—Trockel’s sociological gaze is as much directed at social regimes and political structures as it is at nature. Her observations and studies of processionary caterpillars, starlings, chickens, or lice, while scientifically sound and precise, always include her own critical gaze as a vital component. She appropriates the ambivalences in her work, capturing them decidedly.

The comprehensive exhibition and catalogue displays works from all periods of Rosemarie Trockel’s oeuvre, from the 1970s to the new works created especially for the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt.

This anthology tells the story of the influential Berlin exhibition space MD72 between 2007 and 2018, featuring more than 70 exhibitions. Over 190 contemporary artists, designers, curators, and writers are featured in this anthology. MD72 was founded by the gallerist and collector Alexander Schröder; its events reflected the repercussions of contextual art and post-institutional critique, as well as the cultural conditions of post-reunification Berlin shaped by post-feminism, postcolonial thought, and queer strategies. In addition to extensive visual documentation of exhibitions and artworks, the book offers a compendium of eyewitness accounts, essays, exhibition notes, interviews, excerpts, and commentaries from a wide range of authors.
