Emmanuelle de l’Ecotais
Thames and Hudson, 2023
An experimenter and innovator, Erwin Blumenfeld (1897–1969) produced an extensive body of work including portraits and nudes, celebrity portraiture, and advertising campaigns—but it is his fashion photography for which he is best known. Having fled Paris during World War II, Blumenfeld forged a stellar path in New York, where he worked for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Helena Rubinstein, L’Oréal, and Elizabeth Arden among others. This compact volume reproduces Blumenfeld’s influential work through more than sixty full-page images in Thames & Hudson’s Photofile series. The curator Emmanuelle de l’Ecotais contributes an introduction.

Textuel, 2023
Dans le contexte des tensions et des soulèvements des dernières semaines qui ont suivi la mort de Mahsa Amini, ce livre rassemble avec une intense vitalité les travaux d’une vingtaine de femmes photographes iraniennes, dont l’expression est régulièrement muselée et les productions sous surveillance. L’intime, les rapports de l’individu à la famille, au couple ou à la société au sens large, la place de la femme dans celle-ci ainsi que les liens complexes de ces femmes artistes à l’histoire de leur pays, à leur mémoire souvent confisquée, aux guerres successives qui ont vu disparaître tant de proches, sont les thèmes qui sous-tendent et hantent leurs images. Un livre impérieux en forme de porte-voix.

Esther Brinkmann
Arnoldsche, 2022
The work of Esther Brinkmann is characterised by the meaning she bestows on the ring, its relationship to the hand and, perhaps most surprisingly, to its case. The Swiss artist prefers processed and textured materials, which now also include new component forms, techniques, and substances since her time living in China and India.
She established a further education training program in jewellery design - a unique undertaking in Switzerland - at the Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design (HEAD) in Geneva. Here, her knowledge and autonomy in her work have already shaped several other artistic careers.
This publication presents Esther Brinkman's oeuvre from the past 30 years and highlights for the first time the remarkable strength and the freedom that distinguish the artist's rich career.

Kaelen Wilson-Goldie
Lund Humphries Publishers, 2018
Etel Adnan (1925-2021) was a Lebanese-American poet, essayist and visual artist. This is the first book to present a full account of Adnan’s fascinating life and work, using the drama of her biography, the complexity of her identity, and the cosmopolitan nature of her experience to illuminate the many layers and dimensions of her paintings and their progress over several crucial decades.
Adnan came relatively late to painting - her first images were created in the late-1950s in response to the Californian landscape. Her vocabulary of lines, shapes and colours changed little over time, and yet there are huge variations in mood, texture, composition and material. Similarly, there is a balance between understanding her paintings as pure abstractions, emulating the shape of thought, and seeing them for the actual landscapes of the many places Adnan loved, embraced and responded to.
Tackling the complexities of her subject with skill and insight, Kaelen Wilson-Goldie unpacks Adnan's multi-layered career to capture the full scope of her artistic endeavours and impressive achievements.
