The New York artist and musician Steven Parrino (1958-2005) was enormously influential for the 1990s art scene in America. In homage to Parrino, his network of friends and his love of Harley Davidsons, this volume gathers artists from his circle, including among others, Jutta Koether, Cady Noland, Sylvie Fleury, Thom Merrick, Amy Granat, Drew Heitzler and Roman Signer.

Pipilotti Rist burst onto the international art scene in the 1990s with her vibrant large-scale video works and multimedia installations.Taking up themes of female sexuality and mass media culture through her playful and provocative remixes of fantasy and the everyday, Rist has become one of the most important video artists working today.This beautifully presented, comprehensive mid-career survey is published to coincide with a major exhibition at London's Hayward Gallery, and to complement the subsequent European tour of the show.With essays by Chrissie Iles, Elisabeth Bronfen, Stephanie Rosenthal, Stefanie Mueller and Konrad Bitterli, and featuring a visual essay created specifically for the book by Rist herself, this lavishly-illustrated, casebound book charts the fascinating career of one of the world's best-loved artists.Published alongside the exhibition Pipilotti Rist: Eyeball Massage at the Hayward Gallery, London, 28 September 2011 – 8 January 2012.

Karin Sander's Patina Paintings are created at--and by--the site of their exhibition. Sander transports blank canvases to the exhibition venue and leaves them outside, unprotected, to accumulate the patina of their location as chance and the whims of nature determine. The results are delicate abstractions resembling the mark-making of John Cage or Cy Twombly. This handsome monograph records the series.

"Ferdinand Hodler und Alberto Giacometti sind die beiden bedeutendsten Schweizer Maler der Moderne. In jungen Jahren war Giacometti noch stark von Hodlers Malerei geprägt, vermittelt vor allem durch seinen Vater Giovanni, ein Freund des Berners. Dass es auch im reifen Schaffen erstaunliche Parallelen und Verwandtschaften gibt, zeigt die Ausstellung. So finden sich bei beiden ein ähnlich suchender Strich der Zeichnung, die Thematisierung des eigenen Ichs im Selbstporträt bzw. im Alter Ego des Bruders. Beide befragen die menschliche Existenz in der Einzelfigur wie in Gruppendarstellungen, wobei auch der Tod allgegenwärtig ist." (Source : éditeur).
