In this multi-voiced book, starting from the Orobie Alpine range, the mountainside becomes an epistemological lens through which to interpret contemporaneity and address issues such as multi-species migrations, our relationship with geological time and intergenerational inheritance, and the rethinking of collective memories and rituals.
For years now, the Die Vier von der Tankstelle (Four from the Gas Station) have been roaming across an area stretching out to the south of the Baltic Sea. They prowl their way through sparsely populated areas, wantonly terrorizing the inhabitants. The 2026 calendar by Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys bears witness to their presence.
The first monograph dedicated to Lorenza Longhi, published with the Kunst Museum Winterthur, adopts a format associated with prototypes, manuals, or working documents. Its irregularities reflect Longhi’s ongoing examination of value, functionality, and the aesthetics of the everyday.
This publication is an extensive monograph devoted to the work of Carlos Bunga, published in conjunction with his eponymous show at CAM – Gulbenkian. In addition to a number of essays, which offer an in-depth look at his multifaceted practice, the book contains previously unpublished photos that reveal his working process.
The paintings and drawings by Jake Grewal draw the viewer in through stillness and ambiguity: they invite reflection on how we inhabit places—physically and emotionally—and how our inner landscapes mirror the physical world. This is the Grewal’s first book, published to accompany the artist’s exhibition at Studio Voltaire.
The transformation of the notion of monuments and the way cultural institutions choose to deal with it find in Maurizio Cattelan an interpreter capable of manipulating historical memory and shared symbols, to the point of turning them into a terrain of doubt and play. Lisa Parola and Lorenzo Giusti investigate the potential of contemporary art within the public sphere.

This fully illustrated monograph marks the occasion of the first European survey of Nicola L. (1932–2018). Often discussed in the context of Pop Art, activism, feminism, and design, this is the first in-depth exploration of the multi-layered and expansive nature of her extraordinary practice, which also encompassed cosmology, environmental concerns, spirituality, political protest, and sexuality.
With new scholarly essays translated into English, French, Italian, and German, and supplementary texts on major bodies of work, Nicola L. I Am The Last Woman Object offers novel perspectives on the artist’s practice from some of the exhibitions’ curators: Gina Buenfeld-Murley, Martin Clark, Géraldine Gourbe, and Leonie Radine. Together, they reflect on her life in Paris, Ibiza, Beirut, and New York, situating her within the politics and the social movements of her time. They also bring her work fully into the present by placing it in the context of the social, political, and ecological challenges facing the world today, thus enabling the resonance of her extraordinary practice to continue more than half a century after she began working. Taken together, the texts reveal Nicola L.’s remarkable and lifelong commitment to art, creativity, and radical subversion, presenting a long-overdue appraisal of a practice that straddled many movements and styles in twentieth-century art but resolutely defied categorization.
