The Divine: Raphael

2020 marks the 500th anniversary of Raphael's death.

Crowned the “Prince of Painters” by Giorgio Vasari, Raphael (1483–1520) stands as one of the most popular artists of the Italian Renaissance.

Around 1515, Raphael designed a set of tapestries for Leo X, the first Medici pope. Now lost, these spectacular, grand-scale textiles are reconstructed in “Raphael’s Tapestries“ and set among…

New Photobooks | February 2020

Here are books we acquired recently – and we do like. Among them are new publications and special offers. Have a look:

 

 

Wolfgang Tillmans – Titles on stock

“Wolfgang Tillmans is one of today’s most prominent artists. Despite its visual complexity, his pictorial language is immediately recognizable. He captures the explosive energy in social situations and crosses boundaries between different artforms. He is able to use photographic means to create a kind of abstract painting,” Daniel Birnbaum.

Faminsky | Berlin Mai 1945 (Second Edition)

The archive of Valery Faminsky (1914-1993) recently found in Moscow is a unique discovery. Taken in Berlin between April 22nd to May 24th 1945, the photographs show the ruins of the city, and the everyday life of its population and the Russian troops. Recorded without any pathos or propaganda, these photographs have a humanitarian perspective on the longing for peace, and the reality of war. Both the authenticity and the closeness to the events allow the viewer to witness these historic moments intimately.

George Georgiou | Americans Parade (signed)

"Americans Parade is a parade of Americans. One after the other, from one community to the next, building up a picture of Americans in the United States in 2016, the year Donald Trump was elected, a year when Americas division have never been more pronounced. The details become important. A sea of faces, expressions, postures, gestures, a look, a touch, alongside, fashions and social behaviour and interactions. A narrative full of complexities and ambiguities, like a series of modern day tableaux." – George Georgiou
