Peter Zumthor reflects in conversa-tion on time and history’s rever-berations in his work and how this has informed his attempts to emo-tional reconstruction of space

His counterpart Mari Lending is a renowned scholar of history and theory of architecture

Beautifully designed and with photographs by Hélène Binet

While he was working to complete the Almannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in south-ern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, im-pressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, or T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and tem-poralities reverberates across Zumthor’s oeuvre. Looking back, he ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale.This small, beautifully designed book records the conversation between Zumthor and Lending, accompanied by photographs taken by the renowned Swiss architectural photographer Hèlène Binet. The resulting book is a surprisingly revelatory view of one of the most interesting and restlessly creative architects of our era.

Peter Zumthor works with his Atelier of around 30 people in Haldenstein, Switzerland. His best known buildings include the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Therme Vals, Museum Kolumba Köln, and the Steilneset Memorial in Vardø.

Mari Lending is a professor at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Her latest book is Plaster Monuments: Architecture and the Power of Re-production (2017).

Charlotte Perriand is a key figure in twentieth-century design history

This is the first comprehensive monograph on Charlotte Perriand

Lavishly illustrated with a wealth of previously unpublished material

An invaluable source for scholars, dealers, and collectors

Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) is undoubtedly one of the most significant figures in twentieth-century interior design. One of the pioneers in introducing tubular steel as a material for furniture design, she created a number of icons during the 1920s and 1930s in collaboration with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, such as the chaise-longue LC4, the armchair LC2, or the sling chair LC1.Again lavishly illustrated with a wealth of previously unpublished images and docu-ments, the new Volume 3 examines Perriand’s collaboration with Galerie Steph Simon in Paris, an important showcase for interior designs and living concepts in Paris, and features Perriand’s furniture designs of the late 1950s and 1960s. The book also doc-uments extensively her work for Air France, for whom she created a comprehensive brand image as well as designs for a number of the airline’s sales offices around the world. Brought to attention as well is Perriand’s vast, yet largely unrecognized, contri-bution to the renovation and refurbishment of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, the UN’s European headquarters.

Jacques Barsac has directed a number of internationally successful documentary films on historic personalities, such as Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Jean Cocteau, and Winston Churchill. Since 2001 he has been carrying out extensive research on Perriand’s life and work.

The authoritative monograph on Max Bill, available again in a new edition

Essays by experts on Bill’s life and work in context with his contemporaries

Richly illustrated

Swiss artist, architect, designer, typographer, and theorist Max Bill (1908–94) was one of the most important exponents of concrete and constructive art and a key figure in the history of twentieth-century European applied arts and design. Educated by eminent teachers such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Walter Gropius at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Bill immediately displayed a genius for work in fields as diverse as painting, sculpture, architecture, typography, and design from the outset of his career in the 1930s. In the 1950s, he teamed up with Inge Scholl and Otl Aicher to found the legendary Ulm College of Design in Ulm, of which he became the first director. In his work, Max Bill carried on the Bauhaus legacy, both as an artist and a teacher, and made a decisive and lasting contribution to twentieth-century cultural life.The new edition of this authoritative and much sought-after monograph displays Bill’s wide-ranging work and situates him in the context of his cultural milieu by featuring works by his contemporaries, such as Kurt Schwitters, Wassily Kandinsky, and Don-ald Judd. Accompanying essays investigate Bill’s influence on other artists and the lasting importance of his oeuvre nowadays.

Founded 2005 and located in Herford, Germany, Marta Herford is an internationally oriented museum for contemporary art with a special focus on architecture and interior design.

An account of Marina Abramovic’s dialogue with psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer

A unique insight into the relation-ship between Abramovic’s biography and artistic work

Offers an understanding of the underlying structures and dynamics of Abramovic’s extra ordinary performances

In summer 2015, famous performance artist Marina Abramovic and psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer spent four days together at Abramovic’s house in the Hudson Valley. Associating freely, they took a psychoanalytical perspective for a lengthy exploration of Abramovic’s biography and art and their interrelation.Abramovic went into this discussion in hopes of reaching a better understanding of herself, her personality, and her work. Conversations with artists are widely available, she notes, but a chance to use psychoanalysis to put an artist’s life and work in context is much more rare. The resulting book is neither a therapist’s report nor a Fischer’s analysis of Abramovic. Rather, it is a search for understanding conducted by the pair, looking for the structures and dynamics that underlie Abramovic’s life and art. The dialogues are presented along with Fischer’s comments on them and images of some of Abramovic’s performances that are referred to in the discussion.

Marina Abramovic is arguably the world’s most famous and most radical performance artist.

Jeannette Fischer lives and works in Zurich as a psychoanalyst with a focus on forms and dynamics of relationships and their expression in art.

An insightful book on globalized economy, intercontinental trade, gender roles, and pop culture

A close investigation of urban pro-cesses of uniformity and of dis-crepancies between cultural stan-dardization and local diversity

The book’s striking visual and cap-tivating literary narratives form an inseparable entity

City Lust is the name of a fragrance that sociologist and photographer Charlie Kool-haas found in a Dubai perfumery wholesale showroom. It is also the starting point of an expedition that leads Koolhaas to a variety of places in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the US. In Lagos, Guangzhou, Dubai, London, and Huston, she explores the fast change that a globalized economy forces upon these so very different metropolises.During extended stays in each place, Koolhaas has taken a vast number of photo-graphs, many of them of striking intensity. She focuses her view is not just on the increasing uniformity of cities around the world. Her key objective is to demonstrate the discrepancy between cultural standardization and local diversity in the age of glo-balization. The visual language of her new book City Lust is everyday photography, pure documentation and captivating observation. The second narrative is Koolhaas’s equally fascinating and illuminating essay that brings together her own insight into global trade and its protagonists.

Charlie Koolhaas, born 1977 in London, graduated in sociology from New York University and in Interactive Media from Goldsmith’s, University of London. She lives and works as an artist, photographer, and writer in Rotterdam.

A unique insight into the history and richness of Mexican graphic art

Features key examples of Mexican graphic art

Richly illustrated essays offer a comprehensive overview of the history and the artistic, political, and social context of artists and their work

Graphic art has long been one of the principal expressions of popular art in Mexico. Visually striking, with bold lines and intricate details, Mexican graphic art is intensely evocative of the time and place in which it was created. Poverty and wealth, love and cruelty, and the poetry and hardships of everyday life are among the themes that emerge from the woodcut and linocut prints of Diego Rivera, José Guadalupe Posada, Leopoldo Méndez, and their contemporaries.This beautifully illustrated book offers an overview of the development of Mexican graphic art from the late nineteenth century to the 1970s. It features realist prints by Rivera, Posada, Méndez, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, as well as abstract works by Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo. Together, the works evince an engagement with revolutionary ideas and political and sociocultural concerns that saw its fullest expression in works by members of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, a graphic art work-shop established in 1937 by a collective of international artists in Mexico. While many of the images depict the customs and traditions of its indigenous populations, the book also incorporates some of the country’s first forays into abstract art.

Milena Oehy is a scholar of art history and a research assistant at the Swiss Institute for Art Research SIK-ISEA.

Documents forms and tendencies of Pop Art in Switzerland during the 1960s and 1970s

Explores also how pop art has in-fluenced graphic art, in particular advertising and record cover design

When we think of pop art, we think of the vanguard American pop artists: Andy Warhol and his iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans, Roy Lichtenstein’s dotted comic strip style, and Robert Rauschenberg’s “combines” of appropriated materials. Less well known—but well worth discovering—are the Swiss artists who contributed to this international movement of pivotal importance, taking up the trends coming out of the United States and Britain and developing a distinctly Swiss school of pop art.This first comprehensive overview of pop art in Switzerland takes readers through the Swiss pop art scene in the 1960s and early 1970s. It demonstrates how local artists created works that sometimes borrowed strongly from their American inspirations, yet also clearly bore the stamp of a new Swiss movement within pop art. In addition to the striking visual art of the period, the book reveals as well links to Swiss design, photography, film, music, and fashion. It also features an illustrated timeline that places pop art in the broader art-historical context of a period that was as politically, socially, and artistically exceptional in Switzerland as in many other parts of the world.

Madeleine Schuppli is director of Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland, since 2007. Prior to this appointment, she has been a curator at Kunsthalle Basel 1996–2000 and director of Kunstmuseum Thun, Switzerland, 2000–2007.

A unique record of the 2016 US general election

This new book is the result of the media project Day After Reading, conceived by Swiss graphic designer and editor Ludovic Balland. His focus was on how people remember and perceive information in the daily media while uncovering personal memories and reading habits. On his 13,000-mile road trip across the country during the final weeks of the 2016 US election campaign and its immediate aftermath, calling at twenty cities and attending major events such as the presidential inauguration or the Women’s March in Washington DC the day after, Balland has conducted dozens of interviews and took hundreds of photographs. He has captured the expectations of, and the immediate effects on, people surrounding this major political event, resulting in an exceptional portrait of the American media consumer.With printed media struggling to survive in the age of real-time digital news channels and social media, newspapers are forced to find new ways of storytelling. American Readers at Home features also new, personalized ways of recording and receiving news, highlighting their relation to personal experience and the context of readers’ individual lives.

Ludovic Balland, born 1973 in Geneva, lives and works in Basel as a graphic designer specializing in entire editorial projects. He also teaches regularly at various art schools and universities in Switzerland, Europe, and the US.

An exquisite book on the historic La Gara estate and its gardens near Geneva

Documents the collaboration between Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont and Swiss artist Markus Raetz

Lavishly illustrated with newly commissioned photography by renowned Swiss architectural photographer Georg Aerni

La Gara is an eighteenth-century country estate in Jussy, a village near Geneva, Switzerland. The buildings have been carefully restored by Swiss architect Verena Best, who also added coherent interventions to the interior design. Renowned Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont reinterpreted and subtly redesigned the gardens and surrounding grounds, completed by a palindrome-like labyrinth designed by Swiss artist Markus Raetz.This new book tells the full story of the La Gara estate and illustrates its beauty. The essays investigate various aspects of its preservation and restoration of buildings and gardens and the contemporary interventions that have been made. They highlight as well the specific Genevan garden tradition and characteristics of the rural landscape around Jussy with its remarkable biodiversity. Moreover, the book contextualizes La Gara with the “ferme ornée,” a villa with agricultural and ornamental features following ancient Roman models. The beautiful volume is rounded out with newly commissioned photographs by renowned Swiss photographer Georg Aerni.

Accompanies an exhibition at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne in spring 2018

Over the course of four decades, Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla have put together a collection of photographs that is widely recognized as among the World’s most important private ones. Spanning the entire history of the medium, it lacks hardly any of the names that forged this history. It comprises some of the most fa-mous masterpieces by artists such as Eugène Atget, Robert Adams, Walker Evans, or Robert Mapplethorpe as well as works by contemporary photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, or Thomas Struth.The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne is one of the world’s leading museums entirely dedicated to photography. A highlight in the museum’s 2018 exhibition program is the show The Beauty of the Lines, featuring some 120 works from the Gilman Gonzales-Falla collection. The coinciding book presents the selected images in visual confrontations rather than just chronologically, offering a key to their physical quality and inviting the reader to question his or her own individual experience of sensitive relationship to the photographic image. Published alongside the images are an essay exploring the range and significance of the collection and a conversation with Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla.

Features many previously unpub-lished works

Includes a complete catalog of Lynn Shaler’s prints to date

Shaler’s work is represented in important public collections, in-cluding the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Paris), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Library of Congress (Washington D.C.), and the Victoria & Albert Museum (London).

Lynn Shaler is an American artist known for her color aquatint etchings. Many of them are inspired by locations in Paris, where she has been living for over thirty years. Shaler’s work has evolved in both subject matter and technique since her early depic-tions of objects such as doorknobs, clocks, theater exits, stacks of plates, or shoes. Today, many of her etchings, for which she usually prepares and prints four plates, show complex interiors: an intimate library, an open doorway leading to a courtyard, a balcony, or a beautifully lit staircase. Every single sheet Shaler prints meticulously and then embellishes it with hand coloring, using watercolor, gouache or pastel.This first monograph on Lynn Shaler’s prints features some 240 of her works in full color images. Published alongside are essays by master printer Kathy Caraccio, New York art dealer Alfred González, scholar Nancy Mowll Mathews, and Gérard Sourd, Honorary Head Curator at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France’s Department of Prints and Photography, and Diana Stork.

During his lifetime, Alberto Giacometti declined numerous requests to display his work at the Swiss Pavilion of the Venice Biennale. For the 57th edition of the biennale’s art exhibition, the Swiss Pavilion recognized the enigmatic artist with the display Women of Venice. The show, referring to Giacometti’s group of sculptures titled Femme de venise, features work by the Swiss-American artist-duo Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler and American sculptor Carol Bove. The accompanying book presents the 2017 exhibit, explores Giacometti’s legacy, and reflects on the history of Switzerland’s past contributions from a contemporary perspective.

Juxtaposes nineteenth-century painting with twenty-first-century photography

The essays investigate the topic of observation and the aptitude to see

Features previously unpublished photographs by Tobias Madörin

Kunstmuseum Luzern is one of Switzerland’s leading art museums with a special focus on contempo-rary art and on Swiss artists.

Swiss painter Robert Zünd (1827–1909) is revered for his light-flooded paintings of bucolic landscapes. Swiss photographer Tobias Madörin (born 1965) has gained international recog-nition for his tableau-like images that document the interaction between the inhabitants and their surrounding environment. This new book features works by both artists, inviting the reader to look more closely at the art. Rather than merely celebrating the beauty of Zünd’s sun-lit paradise and the wealth of detail achieved in Madörin’s analogue photography, this book is about observation, the gaze, the aptitude to see.

A lavishly illustrated compendium of color printmaking

Features works by significant artist such as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Gauguin, Odilon Redon, Paul Signac, Édouard Vuillard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Includes a vast number of rare works, some of them previously unpublished or not publicly displayed for decades

Laurence Schmidlin is curator of prints and drawings and deputy director of Musée Jenisch Vevey, Switzerland.

The introduction of color in French printmaking in the nineteenth century was a major factor in the market success of lithography, more than a century after its invention, as well as of other techniques. This new book is a compendium of the art of color printmaking, using works by eminent artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Gauguin, Odilon Redon, Paul Signac, Édouard Vuillard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec as examples for all aspects of the trade. Introductory and thematic essays reveal the effects of polychromy and the technical processes, explaining in detail how color engravings are made and how they differ from a color print, and investigating the aesthetic purpose of using color.

Bilbao today is one of Europe’s most-visited cities

Features Bilbao’s exemplary transformation from an industrial to a service-oriented center and cultural hotspot

First publication of Roger Wehrli’s long-term documentary project

In the 1980s, Biblao was considered Spain’s most polluted city and its mining and iron indus-tries were in decline. In 1993, seven years after the country had joined the European Union, a radical transformation was initiated moving away from heavy industry to become a ser-vice-industry center and, a key element of the process, a contemporary culture hub. Frank O. Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum has become the icon of this development and one of Europe’s most-visited museums. Yet the city’s industrial past is visible and adds to its particular charm. Swiss photographer Roger Wehrli has documented Bilbao’s transformation and his black-and-white images tell the compelling story of decline and reinvention of a city.

Roger Wehrli, born 1965, lives and works as a freelance photographer in Switzerland. His reportages, documentaries, and portraits are regularly published in Swiss news-papers and magazines.

Ibon Zubiaur, born 1971 in Gexto near Bilbao, Spain, lives and works as a writer and translator in Berlin.

Roland Iselin, born 1958, is a graduate of Zurich’s School of Design in Zurich (now Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK) and New York’s School of Visual Arts. He lives and works as a freelance photographer in Zurich.

Features Walter Mittelholzer’s outstanding photography from expeditions to foreign countries

Looks at a lesser-known part of Swiss media and photography history

Revaluates Mittelholzer’s media activity from today’s perspective

Walter Mittelholzer (1894–1937), Swiss aviation pioneer, is revered also as an accomplished aerial photographer. His spectacular views of the Swiss Alps have been very popular ever since he began publishing them in the 1920s. His 1926–27 trans-Africa journey on a seaplane made his name internationally both as aviator and photographer. Much lesser known today is his prowess as a marketer of the pictures taken during such expeditions through self-authored books, movies, and to the press. This new book features some 200 of Mittelholzer’s outstand-ing photographs and revaluates his media activity from today’s perspective, looking also at the patronizing view on Africa and its people the aviator-photographer maintained.

Kaspar Surber is a scholar of history and an editor with Zurich- based weekly newspaper Wochen-zeitung WOZ.

This is the first comprehensive monograph on Vogt, demonstrat-ing the entire range of his work

Features his own conceptual work alongside a selection of commis-sions

Swiss photographic artist Christian Vogt has been working with photography for nearly fifty years. His ongoing dialogue with the medium has repeatedly given rise to a new image lan-guage, often putting him ahead of his time. His work can be seen as an exploration of vision: for him, an image is always a projection screen, as each observer reacts differently to what is shown. This first monograph to cover the entire range of Vogt’s oeuvre features his conceptual work, explores his philosophical inquiries, and demonstrates the artist’s capacity to visualize the “things behind things.”

Christian Vogt, born 1946, lives and works as a freelance photo-graphic artist in Basel. His work has been featured in numerous national and international exhibi-tions and books.

A personal view at one of the world’s largest metropolises

Kashef Chowdhury is one of the most highly recognized architects from South Asia

Features previously unpublished material

Dhaka, one of the largest settlements in the world, is a theatre of oddities. Once a city full of gardens, its growth has outpaced any notion of order or sustainability. In the wake of this rapid and scarcely planned development, records of what it was and who lived here were lost. Tall buildings and big cars throw a mirage but underneath it all are little moments and un-known lives. Kashef Chowdhury’s photographs are sketches made in the city’s dark alleys and inaccessible riversides, from a rickshaw or from rooftops, in the dead of night or drenched in monsoon. They are also questions into social shifts and cultural flux.

Kashef Chowdhury founded his Dhaka-based firm URBANA in 1995. He has twice been finalist for the Aga Khan Award for Archi-tecture and has won various other prizes for his work, including the Architectural Review’s 2012 Emerging Architecture Award.

Features essays by expert authors on artistic, historical, and technical aspects of film documentary and video

During the 1970s and 1980s, the independent community media and various youth movements across Europe inspired and abetted each other. The activists discovered video as a medium and as means to express their protest spirit and social concerns. The easily produced moving images soon also became a weapon in the political and communication battles for the autonomous culture spaces that activists called for in many countries. Videos were participative produc-tions, done almost in real time and fast. Rebel Video portrays protagonists of this movement in London, Bern, Lausanne, Basel, and Zurich, documenting the topics and concerns of these artist-activists and the lasting impact of their work.

Heinz Nigg is an ethnologist en-gaged in the cultural sector. He is a pioneer of the community arts and media movement of the 1970s and 1980s in London and Switzerland, and a co-founder of the London Community Video Archive LCVA.

Features the new Wind Tunnel Laboratory at Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK

Artist-scientist Florian Dombois and his fellow researchers propose new forms of interaction between various artistic disciplines as well as between the arts and sciences. The wind tunnel laboratory with its empty test platform is a compelling example of architecture that turns its back on its occupants, forming an invisible, yet disturbingly concrete, secondary model. The

Wind Tunnel Model features essays by Dombois and his collaborators, reflecting on this new transdisciplinary way of working. They also advocate for an exchange between verbal and non-verbal thinking modeled on the man engine, a nineteenth-century mechanism used in mines to assist miners’ journeys between working levels.

Presents contributions to a trans-disciplinary discussion on scaling

Discusses the use of cameras in intellectual and imaginative pro-cesses

Features essays by international artists, designers, engineers, and scholars

The twenty-first century wouldn’t be what it is without its history of unrestricted scaling in al-most any area of life. Mankind’s ability to imagine anything at a larger or smaller scale, higher or slower speed, or to virtually apply more or less energy to it is a key driver of technological progress. This new book collects essays by fourteen artists, designers, engineers, and scholars, discussing the significance of scaling for their respective discipline and field of research. Start-ing point of their excursions is the camera, which with its lens, film speed, and fast and slow motion already combines three dimensions of scaling. The possibility of copying images adds replication as a fourth variable, and the camera can also be considered as means to actively produce our thoughts and imagination.

An entertaining panorama of back-stage spaces that show business protagonists encounter in metro-politan and provincial Switzerland

A performing artist’s view of the places of ultimate preparation be-fore curtain

Nearly every town or village across Switzerland has a public theatre, a restaurant with a stage, or a multi-purpose hall. These are second home to Beat Schlatter, actor-comedian, playwright, and persona behind one of Switzerland’s most famous faces. For three decades he has traveled the country to perform, and he has waited, changed, and put on make-up in many of these places that offer more or less of a backstage. When on tour, Schlatter has taken to photo-graphing these transitional spaces. This new book features some 300 of his images and is a testimonial to the moderate tristesse and the well-intentioned fruit bowl inherent to all these spaces, the conventional and the hilariously extravagant ones alike.

Stella Glitter, born 1949, is a Swiss artist living and working in Zurich and La Motte.

Alain Kupper, born 1962, lives and works in Zurich as a musician, graphic designer, and artist.

It sets the early years of Dada firmly in the city’s historical and cultural context and reveals the intellectual and social background that were crucial to the fermenting artistic ideas that culminated in Dada. It goes on to trace the explosion of Dada into a world-wide phenomenon that took in such artists and intellectuals as Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Jean Cocteau, and Man Ray.

Dadaglobe was to be the definitive anthology of the Dada movement. Had it been published in 1921, as intended by the Romanian poet and cofounder of Dada Tristan Tzara, it would have featured around one hundred artworks by some thirty artists from seven countries, showing Dada to be an artistic and literary movement with truly global reach. Yet it remained unpub-lished, leaving a notable void in the literature on the movement.Dadaglobe Reconstructed restores this fascinating literary artifact with reproductions of the artworks received by Tzara for the original book.

Although he is best known for his signature bronze sculptures, Alberto Giacometti (1901–66) worked in a variety of other media such as marble, plaster, and wood. Plaster was of particu-larly great importance to Giacometti’s work and often regarded by him as a primary medium. Many of his works in fact exist only in plaster.With more than two hundred illustrations, this book features masterpieces from every stage of Giacometti’s career. Apart from its main focus—the place of plaster in the artist’s oeuvre—it also includes works in marble, bronze, and wood. It demonstrates how Giacometti approached the material properties of the different media and offers a unique insight into the creative process of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists.

Kunsthaus Zürich is home to one of the most important art collec-tions in Europe, which comprises a vast number of key works by Alberto Giacometti.
