It looks like a thick, juicy romance novel, but it's actually a collection of brushy, ephemeral, fin-de-siecle-esque paintings by the young German artist Sophie von Hellermann, currently based in London and recently exhibited at Greene Naftali Gallery in New York and Mark Foxx gallery, Los Angeles.

A catalogue of the exhibition at Gallery Langhans in Prague which presents works by the Dusseldorf photo artist, Hans-Peter Feldmann.
This sixth volume in Hans-Peter Feldmann's (born 1941) ongoing, much-loved and now-classic artist's book series offers a chaotic compendium of movie stills, photojournalism, ads, amateur photos, pornography, art, scientific imagery, archival imagery, found photographs and much else, dipping into the iconographic whirlpool of our times and bringing up a world both familiar and incongruous. From the very first page (there is no title page), Feldmann's carefully composed sequencing and design invites the reader to interpret the black-and-white photographs as a narrative--something that is only intermittently possible, but compelling and almost inevitable--like a photo book in comic-book form. Most of the images include faces, and occasionally, familiar figures such as Mohammed Ali, Isabella Rossellini or Henry Miller loom out from the image continuum, among those whose anonymity endows the book with a sense of vast scale and reach, as if traversing the entire history of photography.
The objective of this publication is to trace and describe the artistic and institutional decisions that have influenced the work of Camera Austria, which has been made visible through numerous exhibitions and symposiums on photography and, since 1980, by the magazine Camera Austria International. Operating through a comprehensive network of photographers, academics, and art critics from all over the world, the?laboratory? Camera Austria has shaped the photographic culture both internationally and regionally. At the centre of the book are positions of artists that Camera Austria has worked with for exhibitions, who have presented their work at the symposiums and contributed to the magazine.
