L'éclairement
Patrick Faigenbaum (born 1954) is a Paris-based portrait photographer. He studied painting and drawing from 1968 until 1973 when he started to explore photography, influenced by the work of Richard Avedon, W. Eugene Smith and Bill Brandt. He began by taking portraits of his friends and family, eventually documenting a wide array of Parisian society and Italian aristocracy. His portraiture of these years features frontal figures arranged to emphasize their relationship to their surroundings, while his portraits of Italian aristocratic families reference more historical painterly portraiture, pointing to the history of these families. More recently, Faigenbaum has also explored still lifes. Patrick Faigenbaum: L'Eclairement contains 90 photographs that represent the core of the photographer's black-and-white work, most of which are previously unpublished.

"Photography is in a phase of change in which an altered conception of the documentary factor is emerging. It is not so much a matter of the portrayal or representation of reality, but rather of an artistically well-grounded idea of the world. ... Thomas Weski ... [distinguishes] between the photgraphic images as pure documentation and photography as a form of testimony." Book jacket.
Spectacular City
Spectacular City presents the work of some 30 leading photographers of the urban landscape, an international group with a particularly strong Dutch representation. Its artists find an almost extraterrestrial beauty in liminal urban spaces, sites in transition. And in recent years their work has offered a whole new way of seeing, among other subjects, ports and industrial zones: like some other Cinderellas featured here, these neighborhoods were once considered ugly but have now acquired such a fresh visual appeal that they have come to serve as inspiration for new public spaces and buildings. The diversity of the assembled work reveals the complexity and versatility of both the urban environ...

From Basel - Herzog & de Meuron
The global success story of the Basel architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron has local roots. This book traces these origins while identifying the essential ideas, professional ethics, and development of their architectural practice, established in 1978. The biographies of both architects and the activities of their practice are intimately bound up with the town of Basel. With this embeddedness in Basel as a point of departure, the authors elucidate central themes of their architectural oeuvre: from habitat to monument. With reference to exemplary buildings, they analyze the motifs, constructive principles, and spatial design of the architectonic works of Herzog & de Meuron. In addition, Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron lead us on tours through Basel and its surroundings: statements by the architects, along with photographs taken especially for this volume by George Dupin, present the locales and buildings that have played key roles for the work of these architects. The book is rounded out by an intensive exchange of ideas between the architects and Jean-François Chevrier.
The Cemetery of Reason
The Cemetery of Reason is the first large monographic museum exhibition devoted to the work of Ed Templeton. Conceived as a mid-career retrospective, the S.M.A.K. exhibition combines and juxtaposes works from the last fifteen years of Templeton?s artistic practice with various new works and series. The exhibition tells the story of a pro skateboarder, a photographer, a drawer, a painter, etc. A story which, although it focuses on his own life and those of the people around him, transcends the autobiographical and exposes social and societal phenomena unhesitatingly but without pointing a finger.
