Lorsqu'en 1914, Amedeo Modigliani rencontre le marchand Paul Guillaume, au coeur d'un Paris cosmopolite, il est à un moment charnière de sa carrière. Il abandonne la sculpture pour se consacrer exclusivement à la peinture. Cet ouvrage se propose d'explorer les liens entre les deux hommes dans le contexte artistique et littéraire parisien des années 1910, leur amour commun pour les arts africains, ainsi que le rôle déterminant de Paul Guillaume dans la diffusion de l'oeuvre de Modigliani sur le marché de l'art en France et aux États-Unis au lendemain de la mort de l'artiste.

In the last two decades, Iranian poster design has achieved widespread admiration and distinction for its innovative explorations of type and typography, which have been notably accelerated by the implementation of new digital technologies. As Iran's early graphic designers emphasized illustration, so today's designers accentuate typography, giving rise to a new national visual language. An understanding of the new Iranian design paradigm also requires some familiarity with traditional Iranian art and culture. The posters presented in this latest installment of Lars Müller Publishers' Poster Collection series have expanded the boundaries of Iranian poster design and showcased the energy, passion and enthusiasm of a new generation of designers.

Alberto Venzago
Scheidegger and Spiess, 2023
This volume explores Wolfgang Beltracchi's unusual painting series, The Greats. In recent years, painter and legendary art forger Wolfgang Beltracchi has opened a new chapter of his career. The core of his latest work is an extensive series of paintings, titled The Greats, which have been put on sale as digital artworks using NFT technology. Its starting point was the Salvator Mundi, a painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and sold in 2017 in an auction at Christie's in New York for 450 million to an unknown buyer. Beltracchi studied the picture meticulously and created several hundred versions of the motif in a variety of styles. The result is a fascinating game of deception with the disputed painting and its symbolism. This large-format book combines photographic insights into Beltracchi's everyday life in the studio by renowned Swiss photographer Alberto Venzago with documentation of The Greats collection. Essays by luminaries such as Stanford University professor emeritus Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, German philosophers Peter Sloterdijk and Markus Gabriel, and others, as well as a conversation between Beltracchi and Swiss writer René Scheu round out this volume that describes and interprets the phenomenon of this extraordinary artist from a range of perspectives.

Marina Abramović, Jeannette Fischer
Scheidegger and Spiess, 2018
In the summer 2015, famous performance artist Marina Abramovic and psychanalyst Jeannette Fischer spent four days together at Abramovic’s house in the Hudson Valley. Associating freely, they took a psychoanalytical perspective for a lengthy exploration of Abramovic’s biography and art and their interrelation. Abramovic went into this discussion in hopes of reaching a better understanding of herself, her personality, and her work. Conversations with artists are widely available, she notes, but a chance to use psychoanalysis to put an artist’s life and work in context is much rarer. The resulting book is neither a therapist’s report nor a Fischer’s analysis of Abramovic. Rather, it is a search for understanding conducted by the pair, looking for the structures and dynamics that underlie Abramovic’s life and art. The dialogues are presented along with Fischer’s comments on them and images of some of Abramovic’s performances that are referred to in the discussion.
