Yves Saint Laurent,Marguerite Duras
Schirmer/Mosel Verlag Gmbh, 2010
Yves Saint Laurent Icons of Fashion Design, acclaimed by the critics as an intoxicating book remains the most attractive homage to the uncrowned king of haute couture. Pictures taken by the world's leading fashion photographers trace the success of Saint Laurent's designs, which, since conquering the fashion world five decades ago, have caused sensation after sensation each year. The book also constitutes a high-quality review of fashion photography over a period of forty years, collecting 135 YSL dresses in images created by fashion photography's greatest 20th century heroes. Yves Saint Laurent was equipped with an infallible instinct for reading the aesthetic signs of the times, and this enabled him to have a profound effect on fashion in the second half of the 20th century.

Born in South Africa in 1972, Zanele Muholi came to prominence in the early 2000s with photographs that sought to envision black lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and intersex lives beyond deviance or victimhood. Muholi’s work challenges hetero-patriarchal ideologies and representations, presenting the participants in their photographs as confident and beautiful individuals bravely existing in the face of prejudice, intolerance, and, frequently, violence. While Muholi’s intimate photographs of others launched their international career, their intense self-portraits solidified it. The illustrations include images from the key series Muholi has produced over the past 20 years, as well as never-before-published and recent works. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, present the full breadth of Muholi’s photographic and activist practice.

Zanele Muholi
Aperture, 2018
Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness is the long-awaited monograph from one of the most powerful visual activists of our time. The book features over ninety of Muholi's evocative self-portraits, each image drafted from material props in Muholi's immediate environment. A powerfully arresting collection of work, Muholi's radical statements of identity, race, and resistance are a direct response to contemporary and historical racisms. As Muholi states, "I am producing this photographic document to encourage individuals in my community to be brave enough to occupy spaces--brave enough to create without fear of being vilified. To teach people about our history, to rethink what history is all about, to reclaim it for ourselves--to encourage people to use artistic tools such as cameras as weapons to fight back."

Dès son arrivée à Paris en 1948, Zao Wou-ki (1920-2013) s'est entouré d'oeuvres d'art, reflets de ses goûts, de ses rencontres et de ses amitiés. Des bronzes chinois antiques aux dessins des grands maîtres Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso ou Max Ernst, des oeuvres des artistes installés à Paris après-guerre à celles des peintres de l'Ecole de New York dont il a été proche, cette collection exceptionnelle est l'illustration du compagnonnage intellectuel et amical de Zao Wou-ki et de ceux qui ont fait partie de sa famille artistique pendant près de cinquante ans. Les donations faites par son épouse au musée de l'Hospice Saint-Roch à Issoudun et au musée Cernuschi à Paris sont l'occasion de pénétrer dans son intimité et de montrer pour la première fois dans leur intégralité les oeuvres échangées avec ses amis ou acquises par Zao Wou-Ki, en regard d'oeuvres majeures de l'artiste reproduites dans cet ouvrage.
