KATRIN SIGURDARDOTTIR: FOUNDATION
Art from the North: the Icelandic Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale. In her work, Katrin Sigurdardottir examines distance and memory and their embodiments in architecture, urbanism, cartography, and traditional landscape representations. When she refers to distant places from the past, she relies on modeling and shows how things become smaller from a distance and fade away into memory.
LATE TITIAN AND THE SENSUALITY OF PAINTING
Scholars have long debated the mystery of Titian's later works. His palette, so extraordinarily expressive, makes one ask whether his paintings are to be looked at as a visionary achievement or simply as unfinished works.

MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO: THE THIRD PARADISE
A new infinity sign to symbolize the birth of the Third Paradise. What is the Third Paradise according to the author's concept? It's the fertile coupling of the first and second paradise.

NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE
The full range of Saint Phalle's oeuvre is paid glorious tribute in this retrospective volume, which also features new images and an extended biography. Niki de Saint Phalle was an eclectic artist whose entire oeuvre strives to communicate the message that art is not a linear course of growth and perfecting, but a continuous quest for sensations.
