Raoul de Keyser
"Often understated, the emotional force of Raoul De Keyser's cryptic and highly lyrical paintings is undeniable. Composed of very basic geometric shapes that hover between abstraction and figuration, many of De Keyser's works seem to hint at forms just out of focus, spaces impossible to inhabit. Their power lies in their ability to suggest through simple gestures, and to compel intense contemplation. Since his death in 2012, De Keyser's stature as a painter has only continued to grow, as has his influence on a younger generation of European painters. Raoul De Keyser: Drift is published on the occasion of the eponymous show at David Zwirner, first presented at the London gallery in November 2...

Tuymans
Luc Tuymans is a Belgian artists who emerged in the late 1980s. His work fuses the traditions of Old Master Flemish and Spanish genre painting with a late 20th century sensibility. Ulrich Loock uses Tuymans' installation of exhibitions as a way of mapping key themes. Juan Vicente Aliaga reveals sources and motivations through his dialogue with the artist, whilst curator and critic Nancy Spector explores the narrative possibilities of one painting, Pillows. Tuymans selects Chevengur, a primitivist, magical tale by Russian author Andrei Platonov, and gives a fascinating account of his work in the essay 'Disenchantment'.
Raoul De Keyser
This publication presents 59 watercolours which Raoul De Keyser made between 2000 and 2008. Watercolours are one part of this eminent painter's Œuvre that has to date remained virtually unknown to the wider public. As Ulrich Loock argues in his essay, his paintings are triggered usually by a specific observation, location, or situation, by a painterly precedent or an object belonging to his close environment which is then embraced and consumed by the particular work or group of works on their way to gain a sort of self-sufficiency. While the watercolours are one part of Raoul De Keyser's Œuvre and share the concerns he is engaged with in his painted work, they belong at the same time to a field of experimentation which presents clues for his paintings. English and Portuguese text.

Günther Förg: Works from the Friedrichs Collection
Presenting one of the most important private collections of Günther Förg (1952-2013), this book presents the full range of the artist's oeuvre, from his concise yet spontaneous abstract paintings to his rough sculptures that take painting into three dimensions, and his architectural photographs.
Gregor Schneider
Gregor Schneider (b. Rheydt, Germany, 1969; lives in Rheydt) is an influential and controversial artist whose work critics like to misunderstand. Disavowing the art object, he thinks by constructing spaces. In the mid1980s, he sought to pinpoint the idle state of action. He altered spaces by inserting duplicates, demolishing an economic way of thinking. Over the past fifteen years, he has gradually moved toward the field of politics and the public sphere. Schneider's works cross Germany's more recent history with the nonplaces of personal existence; he stages encounters between cultural moments that are alien to one another--for example, he wanted to build a black cube in the dimensions of t...
Intersections Intersected
For more than 50 years Goldblatt has produced comprehensive series of photographs dealing with poignant issues of life in South Africa. 'Intersections Intersected' features approximately 30 pairs of images, each set composed of one black and white and one colour image, taken before and after 1994. The series of photographs, many presented here for the first time, were taken in the same place that was visited during the Apartheid regime and then later, after its fall. The choice of pairs was made by the artist who has also contributed extended documentary captions relating to each one of the images. In addition, the publication is also accompanied by essays from Ivor Platt and Ulrich Loock.
