Ich bin Ich / I Am Me
A pioneering artist who subverted conventions in her depictions of the nude, self-portraits, and still-lives. An iconoclast in her own time, Modersohn-Becker is today considered an icon of modernity. Throughout her career, Paula Modersohn-Becker boldly experimented with styles while steadfastly pursuing the truth of everyday life and her own female experience. This monograph looks at the entire spectrum of her work—figure drawings, still-lifes, self-portraiture, landscape, nudes, and portraits of young girls and old women—to illustrate the evolution of an artist reacting to seismic cultural change at the turn of the nineteenth century. Whether she was embracing or subverting the principles of realism, naturalism, impressionism, symbolism, or expressionism, Modersohn-Becker remained interested in issues of identity, peeling away outer layers to uncover what she understood as the true essence of life. This book features numerous examples of Modersohn-Becker’s striking and relatively unknown drawings of men, women, and children facing poverty, as well as her highly original figure paintings and nudes—including her unprecedented nude self-portraits. Accompanying the first museum exhibition of Modersohn-Becker’s work in the United States, it reveals the deeply personal and authentic work of an artist who resolutely forged her own path.

An overarching theme throughout Roni Horn’s diverse practice of photography, sculpture, drawings and books is without doubt identity—of the self and others—as seen through gender, the body, experience, time and the landscape. The Detour of Identity, conceived by Jerry Gorovoy, curator of a major exhibition of the same name at the Louisiana Museum of Art, Humlebæk, Denmark, creates a dialogue between great movie classics and Horn’s work to consider the shifting facets of identity. Stills and dialogue from films inspirational to Horn, from Carl Theodor Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc to Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Ingmar Bergman’s Persona, appear alongside her work to reveal a wealth of connections—how Horn uses cinematic approaches like cutting and splicing in her drawings, and close-ups in her photographs; or how the play of mirrors and the duality of characters (lost, mistaken, stolen identities) in films reflect the visual pairings of her art and conceptual pairings such as place/displacement, sameness/difference, desire/fear. Fascinatingly, Horn herself does not make films. Rather, it is the transformation of filmic structures and sensibilities within her vision that makes the artist’s exploration of identity even more paradoxical, complex and compelling. Co-published with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk

Endlessly Drawing
Fifty years after Picasso’s death, this magnificent collection of drawings offers a career-spanning tour of the artist’s brilliant and dynamic use of line and a window into the heart and soul of the most prolific aspect of his oeuvre. From his early studies to his final works, drawing was, for Picasso, an ever-renewing exploration of the powers of the line. Comprising over three hundred reproductions from his massive oeuvre, this collection features both well-received and rarely seen works, as well as images from his extraordinary notebooks. It features fifty penetrating essays that examine the themes, symbols and techniques that echo throughout Picasso’s career—from monsters, crucifixions, and self-portraits to crayon, crosshatching, and ink. It includes book illustrations and plans for sculptures; color and figure studies; collage and journal entries. Stunning full-color reproductions allow readers to appreciate the enormous inventiveness and diversity of Picasso’s work, from serpentine lines to hatched drawing, from the delicate nuances of pastel to the deep blacks of ink. Accompanying the largest-ever exhibition of Picasso’s drawings and engravings, this gorgeous volume is a must-have for students and fans of one of the greatest artists of the modern era.

Zaha Hadid (1950–2016) betrieb ihr Architekturbüro in London schon über zehn Jahre lang, bevor ihr erstes Projekt tatsächlich gebaut wurde: die Feuerwehrzentrale des Vitra-Werks in Weil am Rhein. Berühmt war die umstrittene Architektin dennoch schon zuvor. Sie gehörte zu jener neuen Kaste von Künstlerarchitekten, die erst gar keinen ihrer Entwürfe realisieren mussten, um bereits umjubelt und mit Preisen ausgezeichnet zu werden. Ihre Vorstellungen von zeitgenössischer Architektur erschienen lange Zeit als unbaubar, sie waren zu futuristisch, zu gewagt und nahmen zu wenig Rücksicht auf Funktionalität. Waren Hadids frühe Projekte noch spitzwinklige, dekonstruktivistische Angelegenheiten, eine modernistisch-kubistische Splitterarchitektur, wandelten sich in den Nullerjahren die harten Konturen ihrer Entwürfe immer mehr ins Fließende, Gewölbte, Organische. Hadid baute auf der ganzen Welt, auch, und das brachte ihr Kritik ein, in Diktaturen und Ländern, in denen katastrophale Arbeitsbedingungen herrschen – wie etwa in Katar. Zu ihren bekanntesten Werken gehören das Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, das die New York Times als „wichtigstes neues Gebäude in Amerika seit dem Kalten Krieg“ bezeichnete, das Museum MAXXI in Rom, das Guangzhou-Opernhaus in China, das Kulturzentrum in Baku, Aserbeidschan, das Science Center phaeno in Wolfsburg, das für Reinhold Messner entworfene Bergmuseum in Südtirol oder das Wassersportzentrum für die Olympischen Sommerspiele von 2012 in London. Zum Zeitpunkt ihres unerwarteten Todes 2016 war Hadid in der Männerdomäne der Weltarchitektur eine fest etablierte Größe. Sie war die erste Frau, die sowohl den Pritzker-Preis für Architektur als auch die RIBA Royal Gold Medal erhielt, eine Landmark-Architektin, die einige der spektakulärsten Bauten des 21. Jahrhunderts realisiert hat, Gebäude von skulpturaler Einmaligkeit. Vom spitzwinkligen Dekonstruktivismus ihrer frühen Gebäude bis zu ihren späteren fließend-organischen Formen, bei denen Böden, Decken, Wände und Mobiliar Teil des Gesamtentwurfs wurden, präsentiert dieser Band Schlüsselbeispiele aus Hadids Karriere.
