Contextualizing Art Markets

Before the tragedy of the Holocaust, many of the leading art and antiques dealers across Europe were Jewish, establishing dynamic cross-Channel, international and transatlantic networks. Aside from a few famous examples, however, we are only at the beginning of exploring the diversity of Jewish dealers' commercial and cultural worlds, and reflecting on the particular conditions that made possible their dramatic expansion within the profession. Adopting a wider geography than any previous study, this book brings together a team of distinguished international contributors to consider Jewish art dealers as an interconnected cohort, tied together by common strategies and a shared vulnerability. After an extended historiographical introduction, the volume presents case studies and trends from 1860-1940, including: Jewish family businesses in Western Europe; the role of Jews as mediators of art from East Asia; the antisemitism and suspicion faced by Jewish dealers; Jews as theorists, exhibition makers and promoters of modern art ; and the geographical mobility and professional reinvention of Jewish dealers in times of economic and political crisis. With a wide variety of illustrations, including paintings, decorative arts, historic photographs and archival material, the volume adopts a mix of methodological approaches to analyse a key chapter in Jewish cultural history and in the history of the international art market. Includes Afterword by Charles Dellheim, author of Belonging and Betrayal: How Jews Made the Art World Modern (2021).

Skira's new series Milestones: At the Heart of Creation, dedicated to today's greatest artists, proudly presents this volume. Skira's new series Milestones is a collection of books devoted to today's greatest artists. More than retrospectives, Milestones are comprehensive excursions into the daily life and work of exceptional contemporary artists and provide a rare backstage glimpse at their art. Each volume of the series presents one or more intimate interviews with the artist by a curator or a fellow artist, an essay by a renowned author, and the artist's biography. The iconography of the book includes images and plates of the key works explained by the artists themselves and an original photoshoot of the artist in his studio by leading photographers (such as Jabulani Dhlamini, David Michalek), as well as a "family album" with previously unpublished shots and personal photos. German painter, printmaker, and sculptor Georg Baselitz (1938-2026) was a pioneering postwar artist who rejected abstraction in favor of recognizable subject matter, deliberately employing a raw style of rendering and a heightened palette in order to convey direct emotion. Embracing the German Expressionism that had been denounced by the Nazis, Baselitz returned the human figure to a central position in painting.

Thinking Literature

A sweeping account of how we are at our most human when we turn away from the pains of the world. Why do we look away from the suffering of others? Why do we cover our faces in shame? Why do we lower our heads in grief? Few gestures are as universal as the averted gaze. Fewer still are as ambivalent and inscrutable. In this incisive study, Benjamin A. Saltzman reveals how the kaleidoscopic appearance of these gestures in art, poetry, and philosophy has turned them into an essential language for our uncomfortable engagements with the world, challenging us to reflect on the ways we fundamentally relate to others. Into the horizon of contemporary discourse, Turning Away sets out from five influential scenes in which figures avert their gaze: Timanthes's Sacrifice of Iphigenia, Plato's Republic, Augustine's Confessions, Christ's Crucifixion, and the Fall and Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The gestures of aversion in these scenes refract across visual media, through philosophy and politics, into modernity and the present day, having been reimagined along the way by thinkers like Hannah Arendt, artists like Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí, poets like Langston Hughes, and many others. Saltzman offers a timely critique of the privilege of turning away and of the too-easy condemnation of our tendencies to do so.

"Parallel Lines. High Modernism in Croatia 1949-1998" documents an exhibition of the same name at Bucharest's National Museum of Contemporary Art in 2025. Organized jointly with the National Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb, the show illuminates with 188 works the unique art scene after 1948's Cominform resolution, which marked Yugoslavia's break from Soviet influence. In the 1960s, Zagreb, with its "New Tendencies," became a hub for artistic experimentation in response to the genre of socialist realist painting. Parallel Lines highlights the coexistence of institutionally supported and alternative art within Yugoslav "socialism with a human face." Through public dialogues and debates, these parallel movements fostered a dynamic cultural landscape.

Parallel Lines: High Modernism in Croatia 1949-1998

To paraphrase Picasso: the good borrow, but the truly great artists steal. The great masters of art earned their reputation for supposedly taking art in entirely new directions – for pioneering new techniques, breaking with tradition and busting norms – but behind almost every famous artwork you can find influence and inspiration artfully ‘stolen’ from elsewhere.Great Artists Steal takes 40 groundbreaking artworks throughout history and shows how in truth they have their roots firmly in the past or in other works. Andy Warhol was famously obsessed with repurposing and repeating famous images from across history, while visual motifs that originated thousands of years ago are still repeated in contemporary art today. Where does ‘stealing’ begin and copying end, and how do ideas, influence and creativity travel across different generations of artists and artworks?From the accidental to the purposeful, the innocent to the malicious, Great Artists Steal looks at all the ways famous artists have begged and borrowed their way to greatness. Whether you’re an art student, enthusiast or novice, this book will provide you with a new perspective on the history of art, and tell some fascinating stories along the way.

A Local and Global History of the Book

Textiles in Manuscripts

The internationally acclaimed Slovakian conceptual artist Roman Ondak (b. 1966) responds to the historical specificities of Central Europe while also reflecting on the functioning of society in today's global world in works that highlight the cyclical nature of processes and the reciprocal mirroring of the past and the present. His distinctive creative traits include the use of ordinary objects and materials as well as everyday situations, which he transfers into the exhibition space. This richly illustrated catalogue with essays by Barbora Ropková and Dieter Roelstraete accompanies the exhibition "The Day After Yesterday" at Kunsthalle Praha and explores Ondak's artistic universe, in which existential and societal themes naturally intertwine with a biography of his own family.

Roman Ondak: The Day After Yesterday

Art that appropriates everyday life interrogates boundaries created by the law. Artists have made legal relationships such as contracts and property the subject of their art, have used them as a medium, and have relied on the law to assert their individual legal and moral rights. However, in this book Pilcher proposes that art puts into question the law's exclusions whilst also inviting us to examine questions of accountability and responsibility for reconfiguring the way legal borders are used to regulate the world. Examining a range of artworks including State Britain by Mark Wallinger, Saydnaya (the missing 19db), After SFX, and Walled Unwalled by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, The Underlying by Ami Clarke, Forensic Architecture's The Killing of Mark Duggan, and Voteauction by UBERMORGEN.COM, Pilcher explores how art has the scope to expose the constraints and contingencies of the regulation of the world by the law.
