In Leonardo's pictures, it is the changing atmospheric conditions that complement and breathe life into the delicate rendering of the forms and the emotional experiences of the subjects.  Thus the artist created powerfully expressive religious pictures and secular portraits that have a modern and disquieting quality in which the faces are true 'windows of the soul', highlighting a silent psychological dialogue between the painting's subject and the observer. Artistic innovations are sustained by a new sensitivity, as well as by study of the refraction of colour, to which much space is dedicated in the Florentine master's theoretical writings.  The present book offers an exhaustive account of this unique human, artistic, and intellectual adventure through a comprehensive and up-to-date art historical analysis of Leonardo's work accompanied by spectacular illustrations.

The exhibition at La Monnaie in Paris covers the major themes of the artist's oeuvre, including the human body, the female figure and the symbiotic relationship with nature, all of which are recurring motifs.    Kiki Smith's oeuvre resembles a voyage, a quest in search of a union between the body and all other living beings and the cosmos. From microscopic elements to the organs of the body, from the organs to the body in its entirety, then from the body to cosmic systems, the artist explores the relationship between different species and scales, seeking out the harmony that unites us with nature and the universe.

Voluntary and involuntary migration, a profusion of publications distributed and read on both sides of the Atlantic, and landmark exhibitions that brought artistic achievements into dialogue with one another all contributed to a period of innovation that was a creative peak both in the history of photography and in the field of arts and letters. Few, if any, collections of photography capture the imaginative spirit of this moment as convincingly as the Thomas Walther Collection at The Museum of Modern Art.    This volume represents an important chapter in the rich and complex lives of these works, providing ample evidence of the brilliance of the photographers practicing on both sides of the Atlantic in the interwar period.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742109671697,"sku":"NGR9788836648061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50586243825937,"sku":"GOR014006720","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065148211473,"sku":"NIN9788836648061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687099592977,"sku":"NLS9788836648061","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8836648061.jpg?v=1750872294"},{"product_id":"collecting-impressionism-book-silvana-editoriale-9788836647453","title":"Collecting Impressionism","description":"This volume aims to re-examine and reassess the importance of Impressionist collectors in the political, social and economic contexts of their times through the contributions of 16 international specialists.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743121121553,"sku":"NGR9788836647453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50024530608401,"sku":"GOR013839101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51067116880145,"sku":"NIN9788836647453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52532745535761,"sku":"NLS9788836647453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52880154165521,"sku":"CIN8836647456LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8836647456.jpg?v=1751432475"},{"product_id":"christian-dior-book-silvana-editoriale-9788836650354","title":"Christian Dior","description":"60 haute couture designs from the collections of the Mus e des Arts D coratifs offer a panorama of Dior's haute couture creations since 1947, always the epitome of modern elegance.

His solo  exhibition presented at Gropius Bau in Berlin, showcases his  installations and performances from the last three decades: central to  the exhibition is an exploration of art's potential to be a  transformative gift. In Lee Mingwei's works immaterial gifts such as  song, conversation or contemplation are given and received. For many of  his projects the starting point is his personal encounters, which are  then transformed into installations. Seeing such experiences as moments  in which time is gifted, Lee's projects reveal a fascination for the  role of the host.   Accordingly, in autumn 2019, the artist put out  open calls looking for Berlin-based hosts to participate in several of  his projects. In The Living Room hosts are invited to exhibit their unique collections and in The Mending Project  the menders host conversations with visitors whilst repairing their  damaged items of clothing. These processes create a common space where  viewers are given the opportunity to enter into and exchange, and where  rituals of care and healing begin to unfold.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51064041242897,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51064044486929,"sku":"NIN9788836646036","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52688100458769,"sku":"NLS9788836646036","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8836646034.jpg?v=1751319213"},{"product_id":"luigi-pericle-book-silvana-editoriale-9788836643073","title":"Luigi Pericle","description":"This volume celebrates Luigi Pericle, painter, but also thinker, literate, scholar of theosophy and esoteric doctrines, revealing his extraordinary history, made of profound research and great encounters.

You thought you knew  everything about Matisse's work? This exhibition reveals the mystery of  the first 20 years of his career and the awakening of a genius moving  from shadow to light. It honours his early works from the revelation of  painting, and his academic training until the end of his academic  studies in Paris, where he taught until 1911.   This decisive and  defining period of his identity helps us to understand how he grew into a  painter on his Hauts-de-France lands. It dissects the creative process  of the man copying the ancients, drawing inspiration from the greatest  masters of the past and his contemporaries, to shake the codes with  'luxury, calm and voluptuousness' and impose himself on the rank of  those he has contemplated.

Lenci was characterised over the years by the creative contribution of important artists such as Sandro Vacchetti, Elena Konig Scavini, Marcello Dudovich, Gigi Chessa, Mario Sturani, and Abele Jacopi, who made the  ceramic production unique and inimitable.   In 1934 Sandro Vacchetti, former artistic director of Lenci manufactory, founded the successful Essevi ceramics, which follows in the footsteps of Lenci and constitutes a continuation of their style.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51066953498897,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51066956415249,"sku":"NIN9788836639205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52670513709329,"sku":"NLS9788836639205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8836639208.jpg?v=1750905100"},{"product_id":"angenieux-and-cinema-book-silvana-editoriale-9788836638598","title":"Angenieux and Cinema","description":"This book presents the history and current challenges of the Angenieux brand, a must in the world of cinema.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51066971193617,"sku":"NIN9788836638598","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8836638597.jpg?v=1751160874"},{"product_id":"art-mill-museum-2030-book-silvana-editoriale-9788836653102","title":"Art Mill Museum 2030","description":"Published on the occasion of the first presentation of the future Art Mill Museum, due to open in 2030 in Doha, Qatar.

Utilising an austere, minimal language of abstract geometries in strong dialogue with architecture, his work investigates existential themes such as the identity of man in the age of technology and his relationship with the sublime.   Through a practice that is self-described as monastic, austere and concrete, Balliano’s meticulous paintings appear, upon first glance, clean and precise. However, closer inspection reveals scrapes and scratches that uncover the organic wooden surface underneath the layers of paint, as a decaying façade of abandoned modernistic intentions.   In addition to painting, Davide Balliano is also known for his sculptural work, which translates the visual vocabulary found in his paintings into solid objects, often in stainless steel or ceramic.   The volume, which offers a wide selection of works that offer a complete overview of his production, contains a conversation between Osman Can Yerebakane and the artist, and a critical text by Michele Robecchi.

The exhibition, hosted at PAC in Milan, traces over 60 years of career, with important international loans from the most prestigious museums, including MoMA and Guggenheim, New York; MoMA, San Francisco; MCA, Chicago; MOCA, Los Angeles; Tate Modern, London.   Established as a conceptual and minimalist artist as well as a performer on the New York art scene of the late 1960s, Piper raises often uncomfortable questions about politics, racial and gender identity, and asks people to confront truths about themselves and the society in which they live. The concept of permanent struggle against racism, xenophobia, social injustice and hatred is the core of her philosophical, artistic and activist practice. As a woman artist and philosopher, Piper’s work also often questions her experiences of sexism and misogyny. In this sense, her research has inspired entire generations of contemporary artists.

As a composer, singer, and founder of numerous initiatives that have laid the foundation for the development of Saudi music, he is credited with being the architect of modern Saudi song and the driving force behind its illustrious golden age. Abdulhakim’s collaborations with other Saudi and Arab musicians helped transform the genre from simple traditional melodies to a more sophisticated form with an integrated modern sensibility. Drawing on his wealth of experience, he created a modern song structure that could compete with the evolving music scene in the Arab world.   In his honour, the Ministry of Culture has established a cultural centre that bears his name, aptly named the “Tariq Abdulhakim Center.” This centre serves as a tribute to his remarkable legacy, offering visitors a comprehensive view of his life, personal possessions, artistic achievements, contributions to the evolution of military music, and his deep passion for both heritage and contemporary songs. It also houses a music research centre boasting an extensive collection of music archives from the late musician.

Placed exactly at the centre of the exhibition, this installation lies at the heart of a linear but non-chronological trajectory whereby a number of unexpected juxtapositions echo the complexity through which the artist (Beirut, Lebanon, 1952) has managed to challenge, and at times disturb, our experience of the ordinary.  The choice of the notion of turbulence as a conceptual framework for the exhibition is derived from the thematic and formal dichotomies inherent within the artist's work.

Each chapter brings together artists from the same movement and  highlights their affinity with Tachism, kinetic art, Pop Art, conceptual  art, or performance.

Seeing such experiences as moments  in which time is gifted, Lee's projects reveal a fascination for the  role of the host.

The 'field' could be a landscape, but also a colour field, or the field of vision. It is an in-between place, a traditional subject in painting, which allows the artist to hover between figuration and abstraction, to investigate the formal aspects of her medium.  Investigating the concept of landscape and how the human figure interacts with its surroundings, Unwin uses painting to construct a delicate alternation of horizons, whose varying distances elicit different paces of observation. The layered, porous surface of her works and hazy depiction of her subjects also generate a dynamic kind of vision within each painting, and an intimate link between the works.  Through a process that moves from abstraction to figuration, where matter becomes sign and figures swim up out of colour, Unwin creates images that seem to float within an indeterminate space and time. Her paintings are visual places whose possibilities are infinite; the intrinsic story of the works is neither defined nor definitive and new versions of it are constantly revealed, emerging through the viewer's active gaze.

Salvador Dalí imagined a fantastical bestiary revisiting ancient mythology, medieval representations, and those of artists such as Breughel and Bosch.   Transgressing scientific classifications of the animal world, this bestiary is unique because it is linked to Dalí’s theory of the irrational and the psyche of human beings, primarily that of the artist himself. Fantasies, dreams, phobias, metamorphoses, hallucinations, and chain symbolisations become symptoms for analysts and fuel an imaginary world of chimeras, supernatural and divine creatures.   This accompanying exhibition catalogue offers an immersion in the Dalí universe and its extraordinary bestiary through more than 90 works rarely shown to the public, whose diversity (paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, photographs, films, etc.) is a reflection of Dalí's polymorphous talent.

The photographs, dating back to the mid-nineteenth century and collected over a period of 20 years by Linda Fregni Nagler, are accompanied by some works by the artist herself who rephotographed the original albums, printing them in the darkroom and colouring them by hand with a technique similar to that of the period (1860-1910).   This intervention gives new meaning to the images, illustrating the history of a specific way of looking at exoticism and otherness.   The floral and vegetal theme finds further declination in the precious kesa fabrics of the MAO collection, in the Kimonos, in the lacquers and in the woodcuts presented in these pages.

Ceramics also allowed him to reconnect with ancient and popular traditions, as well as with the iconography and myths of the Mediterranean.   After some experimentation at the beginning of the century, Picasso only devoted himself to ceramics from 1947 onward, in the Madoura studio in Vallauris. The artist then authorised Suzanne and Georges Ramié to create limited-edition reproductions of some of his ceramics, covering his entire production between 1947 and 1971. These editions, which represent a continuation of his output, helped popularise his work.   This catalogue provides some keys to better understanding Picasso’s creative process, his motivations, as well as the creative processes behind his ceramic edition series.

It was a rural village, home to a local bourgeoisie and already enjoying a certain prosperity and attractiveness. Unknowingly, this population would coexist with a painter who had arrived there for health reasons. For a year, one of the most important pages in the history of art would be written, without the population being truly aware of it.   The “mad artist” would, however, make Saint-Rémy-de-Provence famous, and his works would later be exhibited around the world. How would the city gradually become aware of this unintentional legacy? How would it promote it, draw inspiration from it to develop artistic, cultural, economic, and tourism projects?   This is one of the first books to focus exclusively on Van Gogh’s very prolific period in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. One of the chosen angles, unprecedented in the literature devoted to the artist, is to recount the ties that the commune and its residents may have had with him, during his lifetime or posthumously. The book includes testimonies from Saint-Rémy families whose members met or worked with the painter, owned works, or were closely linked to his work after his death.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53193253224721,"sku":"NGR9788836660230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53496493342993,"sku":"NLS9788836660230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788836660230.jpg?v=1772493865"},{"product_id":"charles-zublena-book-silvana-editoriale-9788836662319","title":"Charles Zublena","description":"Charles Zublena (1910-1979), of Italian origin, began his training as a cabinetmaker at a very young age, which he supplemented with courses in drawing and furniture history. He emigrated to France in 1930 and opened his first studio in Paris, where he designed, conceived, and created his own creations, which he exhibited around 1950 at the Musée Galliera. In the 1960s, he was invited by leading designers (Maxime Old and Joseph André Motte) to join the Société des Artistes Décorateurs (SAD) and its steering committee.   He presented his creations at numerous international exhibitions in Paris, Brussels, and Turin. Starting with a wooden chaise longue, noted for its design by ministers André Malraux and Eugène Claudius-Petit, he created the famous Eurolax 1 plastic chair, which would become a staple on many beaches in France and abroad. In the late sixties, he was invited by the Boule School and the School of Applied Arts to give classes to future cabinetmakers and designers. Alongside his creative work, he won the title of “Meilleur ouvrier de France” in 1976 and 1979 and was made a Knight of the National Order of Merit.

Printed to be ready for the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, the new issue addresses the tension between the digital and material reality.   In the era of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and virtual reality, the magazine focuses on res extensa, the extension of the body, the physical nature of experience, the genuine connection with the world. It features contributions by: philosopher Massimo Cacciari, who confirms how intelligence does not intend to dematerialise; choreographer Antony Hamilton, on the body as a map of space; director Massimo D’Anolfi on the pilgrimage to Fàtima as a physical act of faith; the science fiction author Bruce Sterling, on cyberpunk as a bridge between technology and pop culture; paralympic champion Daniele Cassioli, on the role of technology as an extension of the human being; poet Hugo Mujica, who calls for moving beyond the opposition between matter and spirit; the heart surgeon Gino Gerosa in a conversation with Vincenzo Milanesi on the body enhanced by science; artist Alberto Biasi on his artistic research between movement and expansion.   The cover is designed by artist Mari Katayama with the work on the way home #005 (2016), while the back cover features leave-taking #013 (2021), also by Mari Katayama, who participated in the Biennale Arte 2019. Conceived and produced exclusively as a printed edition, the Magazine features a rich iconographic apparatus that draws largely from the Historical Archive of La Biennale and from national and international photographic research. Published quarterly, each issue will have a monographic focus, establishing a dialogue between the disciplines that characterise La Biennale di Venezia – the visual arts, architecture, dance, music, theatre, cinema – as well as incursions into the fields of the sciences and literature.   The Magazine contains articles, testimonies, interviews, dialogues and original and exclusive contributions by artists, scholars, and leading figures in the cultural landscape and civil society from Italy and abroad. Every page is characterised by the multiplicity of languages and freedom of expression, with ample space for graphic experimentation and the cross-fertilisation between different forms and codes.   This issue is also illustrated with photographs from: Archives of the Teatro Stabile di Torino; Fototeca Cinema; Fototeca Teatro; Flowers Gallery; Studio Ancarani, ZERO…, Isabella Bortolozzi Galerie. There are also photographs by Ela Bialkowska - OKNO Studio, Massimo D’Anolfi, Davide Ferrante, Pieter Hugo, Nadav Kander, Michele Palazzi, Pamela Randon, Italo Rondinella, Martin Usborne, Michael Wolf.

In 1999, invited to exhibit at the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw, Douglas Gordon chose to present his entire body of video work created up to that point. The exhibition was titled Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now’ish…. To be seen on monitors, some with headphones, others run silently and all simultaneously, it was conceived as an exploration of the concept of the archive: a composite device in which heterogeneous works are connected in a visual and conceptual continuum.   This gave rise to the installation of the same name, which has since been reproduced in many exhibition contexts, renewed and expanded, with the addition of more recent works. Douglas Gordon’s works come to life through the reinterpretation and manipulation of heterogeneous visual materials, including famous and forgotten films, historical and scientific documentaries, television series, and amateur videos. Through these fragments of contemporary visual culture, the artist evokes a profound sense of alienation, moving between repetition, identity and that uncanny familiarity that Freud defined as disturbing.   Through strategies such as sampling, repetition, slowing down, division, mirroring and desynchronisation, the artist dismantles the viewer’s expectations and then recomposes them in a new, often ambiguous and destabilising dimension. Imagination, knowledge and common sense are thus shattered and relocated in a visual universe pervaded by subtle tensions and emotional resonances, capable of questioning and fascinating audiences everywhere.
