This catalogue for an exhibition of work by Marlene Dumas at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens features over 40 paintings and works on paper. It offers a cross-section of the artist’s challenging representations of the human body. The works were gathered from different phases of the artist’s life, in order to make combinations that would make sense to be shown together with works from the museum’s collection, and are grouped into four categories: the family portrait, erotic figure, fragmented body, and portraits of sculptures. In this way her artworks enter into an anachronistic dialogue with the abstracted human forms of Cycladic figurines crafted by unknown artists several millennia ago.

Summary:
This volume tells the story of La Nouvelle Maison, the fourth and final home of the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde, which he designed for himself and his family in Tervuren, Belgium. Built in 1928 and recently restored to exacting standards, the residence embodies van de Velde’s mature vision of rational, human-centered design. Drawing on archival materials, newly commissioned photography, and the insights of leading experts, the book reveals the building’s architectural significance as a paragon of European modernism. It also discusses the challenges of returning the home to its original form, including sourcing historically accurate materials, conserving original joinery and finishes, and adapting the building to meet modern standards without compromising van de Velde’s holistic vision.

Summary:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by(...)

Summary:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by documenting his experiences building a timber frame home from the wood growing on his family farm, practicing “worst first” forestry. Through the stories of the trees he used (sugar maple, black cherry, black birch, and hemlock), and some he didn’t (white pine and red oak), the book also explores the history of Americans’ relationship with their forests.

Summary:
The extravagant villas designed between the 1960s and 1980s by Italian architect Mario Galvagni (1928-2020) for prosperous Lombard families. Suspended shell structures, underground living rooms and luminous domes. On the Lombard plain between the Ticino valley and the industrial outskirts of Milan, ensconced amid fields of crops, lies Inveruno, home to the architecture of Mario Galvagni, designed between the 1960s and 1980s for local industrial families. These villas would host large dinner parties and masked balls, as captured in the photographs unearthed from Gianni Saracchi's archive. Each house is unique while still sharing something with the others: each is a temple where the industrious Lombard lives with his family and hosts fruitful business meetings.

His works include single-family residences such as his "House" series (1968–75) and cultural structures such as the Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio (1989), and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin (2005). Both his writings and his buildings have integrated architecture with philosophy in a manner that is playful and evocative. This volume brings together a distinguished group of architects and historians, teachers and students, and friends and colleagues to frame and explore Eisenman’s many extraordinary contributions to the architectural discourse and to consider his legacy.

Summary:
For most of modern history, to be an artist and a mother was to embody a contradiction in terms. This "awful dichotomy," as painter Alice Neel put it, pitted artmaking against caretaking and argued that the best art was made at the expense of family and futurity. But in San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s, a group of artists gathered around Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) began(...)

But in San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s, a group of artists gathered around Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) began to reject this dominant narrative. In Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury, Jordan Troeller analyzes this remarkable moment. Insisting that their labor as mothers fueled their labor as artists, these women redefined key aesthetic concerns of their era, including autonomy, medium specificity, and originality.
