"The work of New York-based artist Don Dudley (born 1930) represents a dialogue between the Minimalist practices of the American East and West Coasts in the 1960s and '70s, while simultaneously speaking to a new generation of artists who are re-examining perfectionist surfaces and Minimalist practices. As "The New York Times" critic Ken Johnson wrote: "As if made for a Euclidean mystery cult, [Dudley's work] is classically modern and mod ..."
"The most comprehensive publication of Helen Levitt’s photographs from the New York subway, many of which are published here for the first time. Helen Levitt’s pictures haunt like an intimate ghost – ever present, never forceful, curious, and receptive. In 1938 Levitt accompanied Walker Evans on a number of trips when he photographed passengers on the New York subway and soon she was taking her own shots. More empathetic and informal wi ..."

Schles's focus is on the relentless shifting of social structures and spaces that mark the urban landscape of today.

"Broschiertes BuchThe publication juxtaposes works by painters Günter Umberg and James White, inviting a dialogue between their ostensibly disparate practices. Umberg defines painting as "painted colour". He has radically reduced the means of painting to its essentials. The sheer presence of colour in his works produces an uncanny effect of depth and the physical presence of the paintings comes to the fore. James White's black and white ..."

"People -- Menschen. Das ist das Thema, dem sich Tom Wood seit den siebziger Jahren widmet. Doch sind es nicht irgendwelche Menschen, die er vor die Linse nimmt: Es sind Menschen aus den Straßen Liverpools. Und diese Menschen haben es in sich. Liverpool ist eine Arbeiterstadt. Seine Bewohner/innen jagen nicht den neuesten Trends hinterher -- sie haben genug mit sich selbst zu tun. Genau das fängt Wood mit seiner Kamera ein. Seine Bilder ..."
