Overtrump
A portrait of the most powerful man in the world through his own words.0To overtrump oneself or others does not necessarily have negative connotations. It also means to get the maximum out of oneself, to constantly better ones standing, and to learn from what has come before. With this collection of quotations, Sven Lindhorst-Emme wants to show a broad sampling of Donald Trump?s verbalizations, and thus, of how he thinks, and ultimately leave it to the reader to create their own picture. The quotations that make up this publication are often contradictory: they impress, shock, surprise, amaze, amuse, provoke anger, sadden, or leave one incredulous and confused. From interviews to television appearances to speeches and a number of social media channels ? Donald Trump is everywhere.
Thingstätten
The legacy of Nazi Germany's architectural relics Between 1933 and 1936, dozens of Thingstätte, or amphitheaters, were erected as propagandistic open-air theaters and meeting places by the Nazi regime. While many of these amphitheaters are barely known today, they can still be found throughout Germany, Poland and Russia. Here, scholars and artists assess the relevance of these architectural specimens for the future.
Foto-Objekte
Fotografien sind nicht nur Bilder, sondern auch dreidimensionale Objekte. Sie werden in die Hand genommen, gewendet, bearbeitet, gerahmt, verschickt, ins Internet gestellt, weggeworfen oder gelöscht. Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert sammeln Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler Fotografien und legen umfangreiche Bildarchive an, die auch heute, im digitalen Zeitalter, nichts von ihrer Relevanz und Brisanz verloren haben. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge über die Arbeit an und mit Foto-Objekten aus vier Fotoarchiven in Berlin und Florenz. Ergänzt wird diese Zusammenstellung durch die Perspektiven verschiedener Künstlerinnen und Künstler.
Christine Ödlund
Sounds transposed into forms through plant pigment Swedish artist Christine Ödlund's (born 1963) practice is rooted in natural science, music and philosophy and spans painting, sculpture, video and music. Her first monograph presents recent works on paper in which she uses plant pigments to create soft colors and botanical motifs.
Mernet Larsen
A handsome introduction to the acclaimed American painter's humorous and uncanny visual universe American artist Mernet Larsen (born 1940) refers to her paintings not as "representations" but as "analogs," which alludes to the manual technique she uses to plan them, arranging physical pieces on the canvas before committing to the composition. This term also acknowledges that the scenes in her paintings are constructed in her imagination rather than based on observation. Larsen's paintings are both humorous and uncanny, depicting organic forms like the human figure in hard-edged geometric shapes. Though her paintings feature recognizable scenarios--office employees in a boardroom meeting, a couple reading in bed--her manipulation of the perspective transforms these banal moments into psychological dramas, hinting at the organized chaos that underlies everyday life. This monograph features work from the last 60 years of Larsen's career, as well as an interview with the artist by Hans Ulrich Obrist and essays by the curators Susan Thompson and Veronica Roberts.
Being and Image
"For more than 20 years, Andr� Butzer (b. 1973), has been one of the most outstanding and internationally influential painters in Germany.Starting with an expressive figuration between cartoon and high culture in his early work, bit by bit he annihilated all superficial motival representation. Since 2010, he converges onto an absolute and non-objective, albeit existential understanding of painting.For the first time, this book gives a coherent survey of Andr� Butzer's oeuvre and shows the insistent consequence from its beginning in 1994 until today's so-called N-Paintings by which he questions the elementary relation between painting and our existence."
Habitat
The work of photographer Tom Hegen (b. 1991) deals with human interventions in natural habitats.His photographs document the strong impact human beings' have on our environment and show how we have altered our landscape through our actions.Including many impressive aerial photos, this photo book invites viewers to discover their environment from a new perspective, to comprehend the scale of human interventions on our earth's surface, and, ultimately, to assume responsibility.English and German text.

The Opéra
THE OPÉRA is inventing itself anew?at least to some extent. After eight successful editions with alternating art direction, the editor, Matthias Straub has entrusted the design legend Mirko Borsche (ZEIT magazine, SZ magazine, and many more) with the creative re-launch of the ninth edition: A refreshing new approach to the pictures and typography will bring THE OPÉRA into its next decade. The proven structure and the artistic gaze in the selection of photographers and pictures are also central in Volume IX: THE OPÉRA embodies contemporary nude photography and stands for an unconditional commitment to art and the body.
Russian Fairytales
Photographer Frank Herfort has spent over a decade in Russia, tracing the mystery and myth of the world’s largest country. Following his acclaimed Imperial Pomp: Post-Soviet High-Rise, his latest book alternates between poignant realism and absurd fancies. His photographs of the wondrously surreal post-Soviet world are mesmerizing, cool, and thought provoking but most of all, they are strikingly human. In every image the people, everyday situations, architectures, and events tell their own individual stories. Yet seen together, they weave a fascinating fairy tale with a very contemporary twist.
