Ende der 1940er-Jahre beschäftigten sich berühmte Künstler der New York School - Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella und Barnett Newman - intensiv mit der Farbe Schwarz. Es entstand eine erstaunliche Anzahl von nahezu monochromen schwarzen Bildserien, die heute zu den Glanzstücken international bedeutender Sammlungen wie dem Whitney Museum in New York zählen und in Black Paintings erstmals vereint gezeigt werden. Die Publikation mit einem fundierten Essay von Stephanie Rosenthal beleuchtet Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der im New York der Nachkriegszeit entstandenen Werke und verfolgt die Frage, welche Bedeutung sie im gesamten Schaffen der Künstler einnehmen. Einen der Ausgangspunkte des Buches bildet dabei die These, dass die schwarzen Gemälde für Durchbrüche und Übergänge im OEuvre der Maler stehen.

Danish photographers Trine Søndergaard (born 1972) and Nicolai Howalt (born 1970) joined annual fall and winter hunts in Denmark to create their series How to Hunt. Portraying the age-old practice in its contemporary incarnation as a sport, the duo investigates hunting's transformation from a necessity of survival to a symbol of cultural privilege.

Adrian Ghenie

At least since his spectacular exhibition in the Romanian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015, Adrian Ghenie (*1977 in Baia Mare, Romania) has been known to the broad public as one of the most interesting and unconventional painters of his generation. His works--painted in oils that have been scratched, applied with a palette knife, or thrown onto the canvas--have already gained entry into the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and have achieved one auction record after another in the art market. Yet neither Ghenie's subjects nor his technique cater to the taste of the public: the history of the 'century of humiliation' --which is how Ghenie refers to the twentieth century--its perpetrators and victims are the most important sources for his collage-like compositions. These subjects are joined by his positive heroes alike, such as Van Gogh and Darwin, and time after time, his self portrait

Female View puts the focus on women fashion photography. Although this medium has been shaped by female photographers for decades, a large number of publications or exhibitions have focused primarily on the male gaze of the female body. Numerous female fashion photographers worked for influential magazines such as Harper's Bazaar or Vogue, thus shaping the style of their time. Using exemplary positions, this book traces the transformation of the photographic image from the 1930s to the present day: from the fashion magazine to the showroom and the coffee table book to videos and digital self-staging in social media today. On display will be works by: Lillian Bassman, Sibylle Bergemann, Petra F. Collins, Corinne Day, Cass Bird, Madame d'Ora, Charlotte March, Ute Mahler, Sarah Moon, Amber Pinkerton, Regina Relang, Alice Springs (June Newton), Bettina Rheims, Ellen von Unwerth, and Yva.

"An in-depth look at the disturbing and abject sides of the American photo artist's oeuvre. Throughout her career, Cindy Sherman (*1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey) has been interested in the derailed and deviant sides of human nature, noticeable both in her selection of subject matter (fairytales, disasters, sex, horror, and surrealism) and in her disquieting interpretations of well-established photographic genres, such as film stills, fashion photography, and society portraiture. This richly illustrated publication seeks to highlight and acknowledge these aspects of her work based on selected examples and accompanied by texts by well-known authors, filmmakers, and artists who likewise deal with the grotesque, the uncanny, and the extraordinary in their artistic practice."--Publisher's website.

In his project Migropolis, Wolfgang Scheppe dealt with Venice as a prototype for the escalation of the globalized city. Now, in this visual study, the German philosopher, who lives and teaches in Venice, has turned to this city yet again for an investigation into the means and scale of representation for the purpose of discovering how its image archives can enable understanding its social character. In this conceptual work, entitled Done.Book, he relates two obsessive attempts at archiving Venice: John Ruskin's notebooks and the never-before-seen collection of photographs taken by a resident of the city's working-class district adjacent to the Biennale's Giardini. Both evince the conviction that the cognitive quality of the image is a means of acquiring insight, and both also stem from a self-imposed ethical commitment to provide a comprehensive representation of the details of an urban network whose truth can be glimpsed in the minutiae, the hidden details.
