在美第奇家族“伟大的洛伦佐”洛伦佐·德·美第奇（Lorenzo de' Medici）势力影响下的佛罗伦萨，是意大利文艺复兴的重镇，这也是该城市历史上最为辉煌的时期之一。由于洛伦佐本人对艺术的热爱和支持，文化影响力渗透到社会政治、经济领域，也布满了佛罗伦萨的大街小巷：艺术家们在宫廷、教堂和贵族私宅中留下诸多令人惊叹的艺术创作；然而在繁荣的另一面，当地教会与罗马教廷的角力、银行家与商贾大家族的争端、以及国家地区间的同盟选择，均伴生着复杂的权谋和残酷的暴力。这个时期有一位艺术家的经历和作品，比其他任何人都更能投射出一个非凡时代的风起云涌，他就是桑德罗·波提切利（Sandro Botticelli，本名Alessandro Filipepi）。
波提切利在美第奇家族掌权期间，受到政治、经济和文化地位上庇佑，他那些富于宗教人文主义思想、世俗精神的创作应运而生，创作题材与视野也非常广泛，两幅美第奇家族的委约作品《春》和《维纳斯的诞生》是最能代表他绘画风格的杰作。然而随着洛伦佐的去世，佛罗伦萨发生政治巨变，美第奇家族被倡导宗教极端主义的萨伏那洛拉取代。赞助人发生了变化，波提切利亲手把属于上一个时代的艺术品在臭名昭著的“虚荣的篝火”（Girolamo Savonarola）中付之一炬，在此后的画作中，曲线和柔软形状让位给破碎的线条和激烈的色彩对比（如《神秘的诞生》《哀悼死去的基督》）。后半生他声名下滑，死后300年寂寂无闻，直至19世纪被罗斯金和拉斐尔前派重新发现。
纪录片将在特邀解说斯蒂芬·曼根（Stephen Mangan）的带领下，重回美第奇的佛罗伦萨，我们可以通过波提切利的眼睛观察它、理解它，而对波提切利的狂热则一直持续到今天，遍及绘画、摄影、设计等各个领域，从安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）到杰夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）和Lady Gaga，我们都可以找到他的影响，旧日画作中的图形和线条通过解读和再创造，成了今天的文化和时尚符号，进入新的集体想象。

A fresh, insightful and surprising look at one of the world’s most versatile and popular architectural building materials, Brick explores the beauty of brick through 169 structures dating from 2,100 BC to the present day.
Showcasing extraordinary early structures, such as the strange remains of the Ziggurat of Ur (2,100 BC) and the vast Baths of Caracalla in Rome (216 AD), Brick also features works by some of the most celebrated architects of the twentieth century, such as Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Equally striking and memorable projects are featured by innovators working in the twenty-first century, such as Frank Gehry, Peter Zumthor, Kazuyo Sejima, and many lesser-known newcomers.
Arranged to promote comparison and discussion, the selected projects take you on a global tour of intriguing and inspiring structures: an American arts centre sits next to an English castle, a French war memorial is shown alongside a Russian cathedral, and a Uruguayan church next to a school in Burkina Faso.
Illustrated with extraordinary photographs, each project includes an extended caption providing a commentary on the building, while an essay by the historian and BBC television presenter Dan Cruickshank sketches the fascinating history of this enduring building material.
Following the popularity and format of Concrete (William Hall, 2012), Brick is a beautiful and informative visual exploration of a material that is often overlooked, and sometimes considered limiting, but is actually full of spectacular potential.

Toba Khedoori’s exquisitely crafted and tantalizingly ambiguous drawings and paintings are the subject of this exciting monograph, which accompanies Khedoori’s first retrospective in 15 years. This book documents the artistic development of Toba Khedoori, a MacArthur "Genius" Award recipient who skillfully combines precise draftsmanship with a meditative quality, and who manages to invite viewers inside her works, despite their two-dimensionality. Whether drawing on sheets of paper primed with wax and stapled directly onto the wall or using canvas as physical support, Khedoori creates delicate compositions that are at once intimate and expansive. Over the past decade, she has shifted toward smaller-scale works while continuing to engage elements of drawing, painting, and installation.

Weegee's legendary camera recorded an unmatched pictorial chronicle of a legendary time. Weegee's New York is the New York of the thirties and forties, a city marked by the Great Depression, by unemployment and poverty, by mob violence and prostitution. He was the first news photographer allowed a police radio in his car. Racing through Manhattans streets after midnight, he often beat the cops to the scene of the crime to shoot the pictures which would scream from the pages of the Daily News and the Daily Mirror next morning. They still jump from the page with a restless immediacy and intense nervousness that has never been surpassed. The 335 photographs collected in this new softcover reprint tell the astonishing story of New York during one of its most violent and exciting periods.

库尔特（汤姆·希林 饰）的姨妈由于被认定精神不正常而被关进了集中营，并最终因纳粹医生卡尔（塞巴斯蒂安·科赫 饰）的核准被送入了毒气室。成年后的库尔特进入了美术学院深造，一次偶然，库尔特邂逅了名为艾利（葆拉·贝尔 饰）的女孩，美丽活泼的艾利渐渐的治愈了库尔特内心的伤痕，当两人鼓起勇气想要将关系再推进一步时，却遭到了艾利父亲的强烈反对……毕业后的库尔特当了一名东德的专业画家，并幸运地在柏林墙建成之前与妻子艾利一同逃往了西德。之后，库尔特进入了杜塞尔多夫美术学院就读，家庭生活的压抑和在创作上迟迟无法突破的苦闷，最终让库尔特寻找到了只属于自己的艺术之路。

刘小东2020项目“你的朋友”同名纪录片。将纪录片、日记等形式纳入自己的作品呈现中一直是刘小东的一大创作特色，借由这种方式，他为绘画增加了一层“现场”，甚至让人联想到行为艺术作品通常伴随的影像记录形式。展览中，一排展示柜里陈列着他的手写日记。他在里面抄下了歌曲《你的朋友》的歌词，这首歌也出现在纪录片的尾声：“你的城，你的山水，你的朋友；天改得蓝一点，墙改得黑一点，柱子改得粗一点，事儿改得对一点。”
在这部时长90多分钟的影片中，能够看到《宁岱同学亲自笑了》以及其他在王小帅工作室露台上创作的作品背后的故事。也正是在那里，刘小东为喻红画下了一幅站立肖像，有着北方特质的瘦削树枝旁，喻红身穿一身黑衣，手中拿着用途不明的工具；在影片中，它与另一段镜头交替出现：那是1994年王小帅执导的电影《冬春的日子》，刘小东和喻红扮演了画家冬与春，“表演”着画与被画的人。“时间在我的生命里是不可复制，也不可逾越的，我把三十多年的时间呈现给大家。”

女子带着一批不为人知的杰作走进一家纽约画廊，由此开始了一个关于艺术圈的贪婪与恣意，以及一场惊天骗局的故事。

This collection of pictures by an acknowledged master of photography, now updated to include 11 new images, forms a document of the spiritual and physical state of exile. The sense of private mystery that fills these photographs - mostly taken during Koudelka's many years of wandering through Europe and the United States since leaving his native Czechoslovakia - speaks of passion and reserve, of his "rage to see". The images here interrogate and penetrate, and reflect the nature of alienation. The accompanying essay by Robert Delpire invokes the soul of man in search of a spiritual homeland. Josef Koudelka's photographs of the Warsaw Pact armies' intervention in Prague won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal in 1969. In 1970 he left Czechoslovakia for asylum in England and became a member of Magnum Photos.

Robert Frank’s The Americans was first published on May 15, 1958 by Robert Delpire in Paris. It featured 83 of Frank’s photographs taken in America in 1955 and 1956, accompanied by writings in French about American political and social history selected by Alain Bosquet. Delpire’s Les Américains formed part of the Encyclopédie essentielle series, which presented foreign countries to a French audience. Each of Frank’s photographs in this edition is placed on a right-hand page, with the texts on the left-hand pages.
The first English edition of The Americans was published in 1959 by Grove Press in New York. It presented the same photographs as the Delpire edition, however a text by Jack Kerouac replaced the French writings. The book begins with Kerouac’s introduction, followed by Frank’s photographs in the same sequence as the Delpire edition. On the left-hand pages are short captions from Frank, which describe the location.
Since 1959 The Americans has been reprinted by different publishers, in multiple languages and formats. Frank has had varying influence on these editions; some were printed without his input, approval or knowledge. In July 2007 the Steidl edition of The Americans was printed. Frank was involved in every step of its design and production. The 83 photographs were scanned in tritone at Steidl’s digital darkroom from vintage prints in Frank’s collection, which revealed that many images in past editions were actually crops of the originals. For the Steidl book Frank studied and revised these crops and in many cases included the full photographs; in only a few cases the Delpire and Grove Press compositions remain.
The Steidl edition also reproduces two photographs printed from negatives different to those used for all previous editions. These photographs depict the same two subjects as in other editions (Metropolitan Life Insurance Building–New York City and Assembly Line–Detroit), but from a slightly different perspective.
Kerouac’s text and Frank’s captions remain unaltered from the Grove Press edition, the typography however was redesigned. As well as revising the book’s design, Frank also chose the paper, endpaper and book linen. He opted for a thread-stitched book, and conceived a new dust jacket made from the same paper as in the book (Xantur 170 g from Scheufelen, Germany), sealing it with a simple varnish. Frank personally oversaw printing on July 18, 2007, inspecting and approving each sheet at Steidl’s press in Göttingen.
In January 2009 the National Gallery of Art, Washington, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of "The Americans" with an exhibition that will examine both the construction of the book and the photographs themselves. All 83 photographs published in "The Americans" will be presented in the order established in the book, providing a detailed examination of the book's roots in Frank's early work and the impact on his later art.

This new edition of MoMA Highlights presents 375 works from the Museum of Modern Art's unparalleled collection of modern and contemporary art. Featuring 170 new selections―a greater representation of women, artists of color and artists from around the world―this updated volume reflects the inclusionary ethos of the newly expanded museum.
MoMA Highlights presents a rich chronological overview of the art of the past 150 years, beginning with a photograph made around 1867 and concluding in 2017, with an Oscar-nominated documentary film. In between, readers will encounter some of the most beloved artworks in the museum’s collection―iconic works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol, among many others―and discover lesser-known but equally fascinating and significant objects of art, architecture and design from around the world.
Each work is represented by a vibrant image and a short, lively and informative text, many of which have been newly written or significantly revised for this edition. Published to accompany the opening of the museum’s new and expanded collection galleries in 2019, MoMA Highlights is an indispensable survey of one of the world’s premier collections of “the art of our time.”

Every Picture Tells a Story is a lively, informative look at the secrets behind eight masterpieces. Works by da Vinci, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Giorgione, Caravaggio, and van Eyck take on new and deeper meanings in this engaging eight-part series. Bonus features include a 20-page viewer's guide and exclusive extras that take the educational experience beyond the screen. With his characteristic wit, noted U.K. art critic Waldemar Januszczak turns his educated eye to eight masterpieces of European painting, unraveling the secrets behind each. What did Gainsborough intend for the conspicuous void in Mr and Mrs Andrews? Why did Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa capture the world's imagination? How did Manet shock French society with his Le d‚jeuner sur l'herbe (Luncheon on the Grass)? From New York City to Paris to Rome, Januszczak searches out the art experts, literary and artistic allusions, and historical records - not to mention juicy gossip - to expose long-held secrets within the gilded frames.

Closely based on Haring’s own concept for the monograph he wanted to publish before his untimely death, this volume represents more than a decade of research and contains a wealth of unpublished photographic and written material including drawings, studio photographs, and journal entries. From chalk drawings deep in the New York City subways to murals in Pisa and Berlin; collaborations with William Burroughs and the famous body painting of Grace Jones, this book follows the incredible trajectory of Keith Haring’s artistic career: how a young man from a small town in rural Pennsylvania came to revolutionize the art world—and the course of art history—within little more than a decade. An incredibly prolific artist, Keith Haring created countless bold, provocative, endearing, and unforgettable images that continue to inspire artists—and delight children—worldwide. Tracing the arc from his early subway "tags" to his poignant work on social issues as diverse as AIDS, illiteracy and apartheid, this visually stunning book is the definitive work on Keith Haring.

After studying architecture at Cornell University, Matta-Clark developed more interest in buildings about to be destroyed than in the ones about to be built, as most architects would. He first forced his way into abandoned apartment buildings in the Bronx , and using a chain saw, would act as an architecture pirate, cutting pieces of walls and floors, only to leave behind the remains of what once was architecture. From pieces of walls his work shifted, in 1974, to the scale of a whole suburban house. "Splitting", probably his most popular work, was made by cutting a vertical line through the entire width of the house, and transforming the cut into a yawn, after lowering the foundations on both sides of the house. Erasing the boundaries between architecture, sculpture, and even drawing (his cuts have often been refered to as drawings in space); his building-cuts can also be understood as a social critique of the standardized suburban architecture that flourished during the postwar decades. The book opens with Thomas Crow's survey text on the artist (24,000 words). Divided into 4 chapters plus an epilogue, this richly illustrated essay provides insight into the career of the artist, from his childhood spent between New York and Paris, to his premature death in 1978 at the age of 35. These essays span the multi-faceted practice of Gordon Matta-Clark, with a particular emphasis on his building-cuts, the group of works he is most renowned for and that compose the most important part of his career. This book also includes a "Documents" section, composed of original interviews, articles, and documents compiled by editor Corinne Diserens. Several interviews, some of them never published before, allow the reader to understand more fully, and through Matta-Clark's own voice, the more pragmatic, technical, and physical dimensions related to the creation of his building-cuts. Some articles and essays of reference, most of them published in the 1970s and today out of print, are also republished and offer a unique critical background and context to his work.
