Résumé:
Argentinian artist Mirtha Dermisache wrote dozens of books, hundreds of letters and postcards, and countless texts. Not a single one was legible, yet, in their promixity to language, they all resonate with a mysterious potential for meaning. Using ink on paper, Dermisache invented an array of graphic languages, each with its own unique lexical and syntactic structure, laden with poetic and sometimes visceral suggestion. Some writings feel like nets or knots or transcriptions of seismic waves; some are scrawled with seeming abandon while others are meticulously inked in a refined, almost musical script.

Résumé:
Parallèlement à la réalisation de peintures murales et de vitraux, Jean-Pierre Kaiser (Lausanne, 1915-2001) est l'auteur d'un oeuvre gravé de près de 500 estampes, créées entre les années 1940 et 1990. Infatigable travailleur, appréciant une forme de discrétion, l'artiste vaudois s'est consacré sans relâche à la matérialisation dans l'acier de visions imaginaires, ouvrant sur des villes minérales arrêtées dans le temps, décrivant des météores flottant au-dessus de paysages figés et dépeignant des hommes-machines. Cette publication, richement illustrée et documentée, traverse plus de cinquante années de production. Elle la replace dans son contexte artistique en s'appuyant sur des études iconographiques, historiques et techniques, tout en portant sur elle un regard contemporain.

Résumé:
Dès son premier long métrage, "À bout de souffle" (1960), Jean-Luc Godard se montre attentif à la bande dessinée, au roman-photo et à la publicité. Il s’empare de ces images populaires pour construire certaines séquences cinématographiques, y fait des allusions ou les cite dans ses films, mais surtout — de façon plus originale et plus méconnue — s’en empare hors écran.(...)

Dès son premier long métrage, "À bout de souffle" (1960), Jean-Luc Godard se montre attentif à la bande dessinée, au roman-photo et à la publicité. Il s’empare de ces images populaires pour construire certaines séquences cinématographiques, y fait des allusions ou les cite dans ses films, mais surtout — de façon plus originale et plus méconnue — s’en empare hors écran. C’est ainsi qu’entre 1960 et 1968, Godard fait accompagner ses films, dans la presse, d’un important appareil promotionnel qui puise aux registres de la BD et du roman-photo.

Résumé:
Swiss artist Barbara Davi works primarily in media installations and photo-collages, deploying architectural and geometric shapes and elements. Using wooden slats or a table, lines or a circular shape, light beams or shadows, Davi creates quasi-drawings in space and photo collages of a magical, almost three-dimensional depth. This, the first book to focus on Davi, covers her innovative work of the past decade. Nearly one hundred images in color and black-and-white are supplemented by essays on Davi’s methods of working and her approach to her art. The result is a clear and compelling portrait of one of today’s most interesting and creative artists.

Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality.

Résumé:
Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is the tangible. This applies in particular to his door, curtain and window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central focus of this volume. They stage a playful examination of the illusory nature of art, which always questions what painting shows or conceals. In this lavishly appointed volume they encounter central works from the artist’s last 15 years.

Résumé:
Few pieces elicit such immediate joy as the artworks created by Rebecca Louise Law. She has spent much of her artistic life recreating the fields of flowers that delighted her as a child. Her massive, installations—described as “deconstructed gardens” and “floral magic”—include cascades of multicolored wildflowers and lines of monochromatic roses, all hand dried and hand tied. Her art has appeared everywhere from Times Square to Windsor Castle and companies such as Hermès, Tiffany, and Jo Malone, have commissioned her to decorate their stores. "Life in Death" is the most comprehensive collection to date of Law’s work. It documents the evolution of Law’s unique artistic practice, and explains why she chose to use preserved flowers as sculptural material. It offers a journey through her earliest experiments to her best known immersive installations, via a series of beautifully documented photographs. It also provides a unique insight into Law’s life and influences, including an introduction written by the artist herself.

Résumé:
A leading light of contemporary Japanese art, one of Ohtake’s most successful and endearing installations is his design for a public bathhouse in Naoshima, offering traditional ‘Yu’ hot baths. Ohtake’s art and ephemera covers the building, while entrance fees are low to encourage its use. Bathers step into Ohtake’s bright fantasy world, where giant model elephants walk mezzanine floors, the tiling is a nightmare version of Delftware, and stained glass windows light tranquil corners. This book takes the form of a concertina of vivid cards, packed with images of the bathhouse and its influences from popular culture.
