"Great Women Painters" is a groundbreaking survey showcasing over 300 women artists from the past five centuries. It highlights both renowned and emerging talents, celebrating a diverse art history with newly appreciated works. This visually rich book continues Phaidon's "The Art Book" series, featuring artists like Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe.

Guy Bourdin (1928–1991) created some of the most challenging and seductive fashion photography of the last century. He worked for French Vogue for over 30 years, from 1955–1987, and his images filled the pages of international fashion magazines during the 1970s and 1980s in groundbreaking campaigns for Charles Jourdan, Bloomingdales and Dior. His high-glamour, yet often surreal work revolutionized the genre of fashion photography, presenting fashion as the luxurious embellishment rather than the subject of his photographs, which foreground dark fantasies of lust, consumption and desire. Bourdin's legacy can still be seen in the work of photographers such as Stephen Meisel and Helmut Newton. This accessible monograph is the perfect introduction to his work.

Le opere della prestigiosa collezione di arte contemporanea di François Pinault, esposte contemporaneamente a Punta della Dogana e a Palazzo Grassi. Il catalogo dell'esposizione inaugurale, curata da Alison Gingeras e Francesco Bonami, che coinvolgerà simultaneamente Punta della Dogana e Palazzo Grassi, presentando le opere in armonia con le caratteristiche e l'atmosfera di ciascuno spazio: un'indagine più intima, privata, da una parte, e uno sguardo rivolto al mondo esterno dall'altra. Insieme le due parti dell'esposizione daranno vita a un dialogo tra artisti di diverse generazioni, offrendo una molteplicità di espressioni e sensibilità. A nomi storici quali Penone, Cattelan, Hirst sono affiancati quelli di giovani artisti come Urs Fischer, Piotr Uklanski e Rudolf Stingel, introdotti da saggi degli stessi Bonami e Gingeras.

The first thorough survey of multimedia artist Jonathan Horowitz Orienting himself firmly in the media-present, New York artist Jonathan Horowitz replays the recent past in the incarnations of our times. This reprisal occurs particularly in video works such as "Maxell," in which the name of the now obsolete videotape company is worn down to a VHS blur, and "The Soul of Tammi Terrell," in which 1960s footage of the eponymous pop star singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is juxtaposed with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon's rendition of the song in the 1998 film Stepmom . Horowitz himself makes no overt political critique, but always ensures that the work's underlying edge is laid plainly before the viewer. Queer and ecological themes also abound, as does sly humor and a Warholian detachment. This is the first thorough survey of Horowitz's work.

Observers of contemporary art associate the name Julian Schnabel with highly evocative, large-scale paintings. At the time of his early exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe in the 80s, the larger-than-life Schnabel was loudly hailed as a new milestone in the development of painting, the savior of an art form declared dead years before. Still painting some of the most massive canvases around, Schnabel is a virtually unrivalled master in the use of "bigness" and a broad range of materials. Fragmentation and overlapping play an important role in his art, in terms of both material and content. If his paintings don't exhibit a consistent style, why should they? Instead, they combine oil painting and collage techniques, classical pictorial elements inspired by historical art, Neo-Expressionist features, as well as figuration and abstraction, gesture and structure. This volume presents a broad selection of Schnabel's paintings in a survey of his diverse oeuvre, with emphasis placed on works from 1990 to the present.
