Louise Bonnet
On the joyfully cartoon-like and formally masterful paintings of Louise Bonnet Treading a fine line between beauty and ugliness, the paintings of Swiss-born, Los Angeles-based artist Louise Bonnet (born 1970) feature voluptuous torsos and bulbous extremities, odd-looking noses, nipples and wig-like clusters of mostly blonde hair. With her eclectic approach to the figure, Bonnet challenges ideas of identity and representation.
David Hockney - 40th Anniversary Edition
This special edition traces David Hockney's work over the course of six decades. We follow his stylistic development and experience how he reinvents himself again and again--from his teenage years at art school to the extensive portrait series, iPad drawings, and landscape paintings of recent years. The volume contains illustrations of all his important works, plus drawings, prints, portrait photos, and exhibition views, as well as a chronological text on his life and work, quoting extensively from contemporary reviews and Hockney's own reflections on art. About the series TASCHEN turns 40 this year!

The 40 series presents new editions of some of the stars of our program--now more compact, friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.
I Wish I Were a . . .
The ever perceptive meerkat examines his surroundings at the zoo. To the left of him, he finds the burliest bear of them all. To the right of him, the meerkat observes a hilarious monkey gracefully swinging from rope to rope; and straight ahead is by far the most powerful lion of all the land! If only this meerkat could be just like them! But when a sudden dark shadow creepily emerges over the zoo, the meerkat is the first to alert his fellow companions of the impending danger. Almost immediately after, the animals look up to him for his special skill. From afar, the bear admires his speed. The monkey aspires to have his vigilant eye. And as for the lion, he only wishes he could have the meerkat's swift decision-making skills. Stefanie Jeschke's quirky illustrations compliment Werner Holzwarth's important theme of recognizing one's individual talents. Parents and children of all ages will certainly be entertained by this humorous tale and silly meerkat!

Robert Holyhead
Robert Holyhead's precise application and removal of paint, his colourful abstract form and his complex composition are celebrated in this catalogue. Full page illustrations of each of the eight paintings from 2010 are accompanied by detailed photographs of the edge of the paintings and places where the paint has been wiped away. Holyhead says that he 'looks for a type of familiarity, To create a presence that allows itself to be exposed on the surface.' in his interview with Anthony Spira, director of the Milton Keynes Gallery, Holyhead explains that he is 'pursuing this idea of navigating something spatially within the painting.' Throughout the conversation, The artist discusses his struggle to find a new way of painting, his process and how he became a painter. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Robert Holyhead: Paintings at Kirsten Schubert, London, September - November 2010.
