Die Monografie bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die ungewöhnlichen Fotografien, Skulpturen und Installationen von Sarah Lucas (*1962 in London), die oftmals rau, aggressiv und prägnant wirken. Häufig demaskiert die Künstlerin in ihnen den Chauvinismus der Umgangssprache. So mag es noch tolerierbar erscheinen, eine junge Frau als „Chicken“, also „Hühnchen“ zu bezeichnen; Lucas' provokative Arbeit mit dem Titel Chicken Knickers jedoch deckt verborgene Assoziationen auf und entkleidet den Ausdruck mit trockenem britischem Humor unwiderruflich jeder Niedlichkeit. - Ein weiterer bedeutender Bestandteil von Lucas' Werk sind androgyne Selbstporträts, auf denen die Künstlerin mit herausforderndem Blick und Zigarette im Mundwinkel coole, männlich besetzte Posen von Stars wie Keith Richards einnimmt und sie bisweilen mit weiblich konnotierten Accessoires aufbricht.

In her project Relocating a Structure. German Pavilion 2022, 59th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, Maria Eichhorn examines the eventful history of the German Pavilion. Eichhorn's initial idea to relocate the German Pavilion for the duration of the Biennale and then to faithfully reassemble it on its original site were accompanied by an analysis of the actual physical structure of the pavilion, which principally consists of two buildings: the Bavarian Pavilion built in 1909 and the extensions carried out by the Nazis in 1938, as seen today. The artist had the foundations of the pavilion excavated and layers of plaster removed from its walls to expose the joins between the earlier structure and the remodelled building. This comprehensive publication is one of the components of her contribution.

Der Einfluss Ludwig Mies van der Rohes auf die Architektur der Moderne kann gar nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden. Durch die Verwendung von Glas als Werkstoff für große Flächen, wie beim Hochhaus Friederichstraße 1921, revolutionierte er die Architektur. Dziewior untersucht kunsthistorisch den Zusammenhang der industriellen Fertigungsmöglichkeiten der Glasindustrie und der gestalterischen Dimension bei Mies van der Rohe. Die Verwendung von Glas zieht sich durch Mies' gesamtes Werk. Viele von Dziewiors Entdeckungen sind nicht nur für Fachleute, sondern auch für den an Architektur interessierten Leser ein besonderer Lesetipp.

Bartana's works reflect the relationship between the individual and society while taking into consideration the specific political situation in her homeland, Israel. This publication contains an extensive visual and written presentation of all of the artist's works, as well as a complete videography.

The first definitive account of the editions of the celebrated German postwar abstractionist, from objects to lithographs Beloved German abstractionist Blinky Palermo (1943-77) is famed for his large fabric and metal pictures as well as his objects and installations. Less well-known are the works he created in screen prints and offset prints, lithographs, objects and a template for painting. In their entirety, these works not only reflect Palermo's development from the 1960s to his early death in 1977, but also show how the artist deliberately expanded his work with the possibilities of technical reproduction.Updating a long unavailable catalogue raisonné, this volume, with the artist's work Flipper printed on the cover, collects Palermo's complete editions, including his collaborations with Imi Knoebel and Gerhard Richter, along with detailed information and commentary on those editions by Palermo expert and gallerist, Fred Jahn. Also included is a solo exhibition timeline.

Among the first Chinese artists to turn to performance art, Zhang Huan, a member of the "Beijing East Village" community, focused, in his early work, on submitting his naked body to extreme psychological and physical situations. Of late, theatricality and narrative have played increasing larger roles in his work, as in a 1997 piece in which he commissioned a group of farmworkers to climb into a fish pond near Beijing, thus creating an image representing the flooding of cities by masses from the country.

Reading Ed Ruscha highlights the artist's enduring fascination with books, writing, and reading over five decades. In his work, words and text serve as motifs, symbols, or tangible objects, while the act of reading is examined and manipulated through various artistic approaches. The essays by Douglas Coupland and W. S. Di Piero explore this theme in a literary-poetic style. Beatrice von Bismarck analyzes the book's status as a work, a publishing medium, and an exhibition format, while Yilmaz Dziewior provides an overview of Ruscha's engagement with books and his connection to the written word. Accompanied by large-format illustrations of the exhibited works and exhibition views, this catalogue is complemented by a comprehensive appendix, enriching the exploration of Ruscha's artistic journey.
