Meret Oppenheim, Mein Album, My Album
Lisa Wenger, Martina Corgnati
Scheidegger & Spiess, 2022
The complex, enigmatic work of Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) has lost nothing of its fascination to the present day. Much has been written about her career and her art. Yet very little is known about the real person Meret Oppenheim, who always remained secretive about herself and banned publication of any personal documents until 20 years after her death. In 1958, Oppenheim put together an album that she titled Von der Kindheit bis 1943 (From Childhood to 1943). It has a dual identity of a diary and a work of art in itself. It assembles photos, objects, notes and brief texts, as well as ideas and concepts for art works, and offers very personal insights into Oppenheim's private life and thought. This book features the entire album in true-size colour reproductions and, for the first time ever, with the full text translated into English. This is supplemented with a previously unpublished autobiographical text by Oppenheim, which she wrote in 1957-58 on the request of the French scholar Yves Poupard-Lieussou for his never completed project of a bio-bibliographical history of Dada and Surrealism. An introduction by the editors Lisa Wenger and Martina Corgnati rounds out this beautiful book that offers entirely new perspectives on one of the most distinguished woman artists.

Thomas Huber
Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain MAMCO, 2012
Qu'est-ce qu'un tableau ? Qu'est-ce que le tableau ? Ce sont des questions infernales, parce que inépuisables, que Thomas Huber pose depuis le début des années 1980 en peignant des tableaux, quelquefois même des tableaux dans le tableau, et en prononçant devant ses images peintes des conférences sur les tableaux. Ainsi son oeuvre revendique-t-elle l'existence d'un rapport indissoluble entre le visible et le dicible, entre ce qui est donné à voir et ce qui est donné à entendre et à lire, entre le théâtre dans la peinture et la parole prononcée, c'est-à-dire théâtralisée. Cette anthologie propose des textes de Thomas Huber uniques en leur genre écrits entre 1982 et 2010, dont la plupart sont disponibles pour la première fois en français. On y découvrira des récits fictionnels, des épisodes autobiographiques, des rêves éveillés, des considérations philosophiques, des réflexions sur le rôle de l'art et de l'artiste dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, des histoires humoristiques et des remarques ironiques, tout cela proposé par un artiste dont l'oeuvre visible et lisible s'apparie à une imagination souveraine.

Metalwork from the Arab World and the Mediterranean
Doris Behrens-Abouseif
Thames & Hudson, 2021
A remarkable collection of metalwork from the Mediterranean, Iraq, Iran, and the Indian subcontinent, published here for the first time. This volume, the latest in the series on the treasures of The Al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, presents metalwork made in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Yemen from the early Islamic period through the end of the Ottoman era in the nineteenth century. The pieces include exquisite platters, serving vessels, candlesticks, and pen boxes produced for royal courts, but also many beautifully decorated bronze domestic items, such as bowls, lunch boxes, door knockers, buckets, and lamps.
Rooted in earlier artistic traditions from the Mediterranean, Iraq, Iran, and the Indian subcontinent, the metalwork traditions in this book reflect the complex history of the Arab world following the advent of Islam. This beautifully illustrated volume features many important unpublished pieces and is essential reading for specialists, but it will fascinate and inform anyone with an interest in Islamic culture and history, metalwork, and the decorative arts of the Arab world.
