Editorial


Dear Schirmer/Moselites!

 

Our new Fall list centers firmly on American painter Cy Twombly who turned 80 this year. We are celebrating his great contribution to contemporary art with three imaginative books: the 5th volume of his Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings; a comprehensive overview of his drawings entitled 50 Years of Works on Paper; and the great and truly astonishing book on his Photographs, an area the artist has only recently added to his oeuvre. Next spring, the Art Institute of Chicago will be honoring Twombly with a major US retrospective, something the Tate Modern London is already doing in Europe this summer.

Another highlight in our art books section is Caroline Tisdall's publication on Joseph Beuys. It documents and describes the artist's most famous performance: "Coyote. I Like America and America Likes Me" that took place in a Manhattan gallery in 1974 where, for an entire week, Beuys performed with a wild coyote. A book destined to fit the legend, and now for the first time available in the US in an English language edition.
Not quite as wild is French actress Emmanuelle Béart, who in a hotel room in Havana gave a beautiful performance of nudes for her friend, photographer Sylvie Lancrenon. We are proud to publish these extraordinay photographs in a volume entitled Cuba Libre.
Gerrit Engel has focused on architecture from Berlin's 700-year-plus history, creating eye-catching color photographs of the most famous of the city's buildings, those that have survived from 1270 through to the latest additions in 2007.
A magnificent account of change in architectural forms across seven centuries.
Photography books by Wim Wenders and Simone Sassen take you to the American West or whisk you away much further north - to the Arctic world of Spitsbergen.

I very much hope you will enjoy both travelling down these new paths and all the other Schirmer/Mosel books this summer, fall and winter.

Best regards,

Lothar Schirmer
