The exhibition aims to show different aspects of this art form. It will begin with the very traditional and anonymous work of the Soninke women of Mauritania. This is followed by the paintings in dots of clay on a red ground by the Thai artist Sakarin Krue-On. In the Olive Tree Patio there will be a vertical ivy garden designed by Jeronimo Hagerman, which will also be visible from inside the temporary exhibition area, where it will share the space with examples of street art: the graffiti by UTRcrew, from Bosnia-Herzegovina, and by Operation Art Core, from Singapore. The show continues with the work of artists who generally intervene in public places, such as the German muralist Lothar Gotz and the Spanish duo Eltono and Nuria. These serve as a transition towards other examples of present-day mural art, such as the works by Brian Rea, Ludovica Gioscia and Paul Morrison. Artists include: Cooperative Feminine de Djajibine Gandega Djida (Mauritan), Lothar Gotz (Germany), Scope One (Singapore), UTR Crew (Bugs36 i Dream83) (Bosnia Erzegobina), Jeronimo Hagerman (Mexico), Sakarin Krue-On (Thiland), Brian Rea (USA), Nuria + eltono (Spain and France), Paul Morrison (UK), Ludovica Gioscia (Italy), and Jacob Dahlgren (Sweden).

Known primarily as a great painter, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682) was also one of the best draftsmen of the 17th century. Although his devotional paintings seem to have been created effortlessly, they are the result of careful thought and study, a process that comes alive in the preparatory drawings. Murillo used a variety of techniques, favoring pen and ink and brown wash and red-and-black chalk. Like painters schooled in Italian Renaissance practice, the Spaniard developed his paintings in stages, starting with sketches of the full composition and then focusing on details that posed specific problems. Occasionally, Murillo used drawings as a medium for original compositions; these are highly finished pieces, usually enhanced by the use of wash and unmistakably stamped with the artist's personality.

This sumptuous book is a thoroughly revised edition of the 1976 publication Murillo & His Drawings. Twenty sheets have been added to the catalogue of authentic works, the bibliography has been brought up to date, and the entries have been revised.

The rediscovery of one of the most important painters of the Russian avant-garde, in the first comprehensive presentation.

Russian avant-garde artist Natalia Goncharova (1881–1962) left behind an extensive, diverse body of work. Starting out as a painter inspired by the folklore and art of her country, she produced colorful, strongly ornamental paintings. Her religious paintings based on icons were highly controversial. During her Moscow period, she began to work with cubism, giving the Russian avant-garde a significant push toward linking the traditional and the modern. Reading her letters and notes, one becomes aware of this non-conformist’s frequently biting, ironic tone.

In 1917 she settled in Paris permanently. There, she designed costumes and sets for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. In exile, however, the artist fell on hard times.

This publication illuminates the details of Goncharova’s life and work, and finally acknowledges the importance of this unconventional artist’s oeuvre, which, to this day, has not yet been properly recognized in her own country

A priceless record of a unique and increasingly fragile way of life, one threatened by conflict, climate change and tourism

The lower valley of the Omo, at the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, remains one of the wildest places in Africa. Over the course of numerous voyages to this forgotten land, Hans Silvester became fascinated by the beauty of the Surma and Mursi tribes, who share a taste for body painting and extravagant decorations borrowed from nature.

In this region of East Africa, the rivers that run through the dry savannahs are home to abundant flowers, papyrus and wild fruit trees, and this luxuriance becomes an invitation to creativity and spectacle. Within hand’s reach, a multitude of plants inspire fanciful and ephemeral self-decoration, and the Omo tribes react spontaneously: a leaf, root, seed pod or flower is quickly transformed into an accessory.

People create caps from tufts of grass or they ornament themselves with banana leaves or a stem laden with flowers. These decorations are embellished with butterfly wings, buffalo horns, boar’s teeth, colourful feathers and the like, and are further enhanced by body painting with pigments made from powdered stone, plants, berries and river mud.

Among the ranks of today’s contemporary painters in Germany, Neo Rauch has attained a unique position: his oeuvre has achieved wide recognition around the world, and the most important museums and collectors endeavor to acquire his paintings. To celebrate Rauch’s fiftieth birthday, an extensive retrospective will be shown in Leipzig and Munich simultaneously, each one featuring works dating from 1982 to early 2010.

The accompanying monograph is also unique. In it, long-time colleagues and companions provide highly individual descriptions of their experiences with Rauch’s paintings. They include fellow artists Luc Tuymans, Jonathan Meese, and Michaël Borremans. Art critics and historians such as Rudij Bergmann and Werner Hofmann, and museum directors, such as Markus Brüderlin and many others, interpret selected works of their choice in brief essays. An erudite text by Bernhart Schwenk provides an art-historical perspective on the artist’s entire body of work, while Uwe Tellkamp’s exclusive essay and a series of photos of Neo Rauch's studio by Timm Rautert complete this comprehensive publication.

The fourth book in the Art of the Twentieth Century series, this volume explores the changes in art during the last decades of the 20th century. The events of 1968-1969 paved the way for profound social transformations and created a new feeling towards individuals behaviour and the relations between them, with a new consciousness of the body and of social and political dynamics. Artists experimented with languages that were as far as possible away from any tradition of painting, sculpture and assemblage that had reached the sixties, seeking new means of expression.

These substantial volumes on art periods vividly portray the most important achievements from the areas of European architecture, sculpture, and painting. The impressive photographs of works from all visual arts movements are at the center of these richly illustrated volumes. The books successfully provide an overview of the artistic diversity of the individual periods, and they couldn't have been written and illustrated any more clearly. The informative and interesting texts have been written by renowned authors from the fields of history, architecture and art history, providing a multifaceted view of each period. These books are a real pleasure for anyone with an interest in art.

Illustrated with some 900 color photographs and reproductions, this volume explores the complexities of Neoclassicism and Romanticism in architecture and art through in-depth articles by eleven scholars, and reveals how these seemingly antithetical styles are in fact closely related. The book looks at Europe from the renewed interest in the art and architecture of classical antiquity in the mid-18th century (following the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii and the arrival of new architectural theories) through the effusions of the mid-19th century, and presents the work of such artists as Johann Heinrich Füssli, Eugène Delacroix, J.M.W. Turner, William Blake, and Francisco de Goya.
