The first comprehensive, posthumous monograph and retrospective on Bernd and Hilla Becher, best known for their photographs of industrial structures in Europe and North America For more than five decades, Bernd (1931–2007) and Hilla (1934–2015) Becher collaborated on photographs of industrial architecture in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain, and the United States. This sweeping monograph features the Bechers’ quintessential pictures, which present water towers, gas tanks, blast furnaces, and more as sculptural objects. Beyond the Bechers’ iconic Typologies, the book includes Bernd’s early drawings, Hilla’s independent photographs, and excerpts from their notes, sketchbooks, and journals. The book’s authors offer new insights into the development of the artists’ process, their work’s conceptual underpinnings, the photographers’ relationship to deindustrialization, and the artists’ legacy. An essay by award-winning cultural historian Lucy Sante and an interview with Max Becher, the artists’ son, make this volume an unrivaled look into the Bechers’ art, life, and career.

During their 40-year career, Bernd and Hilla Becher created their own architectural typology as they photographed buildings in a unique style. 'Basic Forms' represents the culmination of their career. Although the subject matter is unglamorous—mine shafts, blast furnaces, cooling towers, water towers, silos, and gas tanks—the Bechers’ passion for their work imbues these photographs with beauty and solemnity. The Bechers restricted the conditions of each photograph—taking them early in the morning, on overcast days, so as to eliminate shadow and distribute light evenly. Each image is centered and frontally framed, its parallel lines set on an even plane. There are no human figures, nor are there birds in the sky. The result is a treasury of precisely functional architectural forms, a sublime example of conceptual artistic practices, and a series of “perfect sculptures of a bygone industrial age.”

A South Seas dream and dangerous Other - the Marquesas Islands in the Pacific Ocean captivated such figures as Paul Gauguin and Herman Melville. Tikimania embarks on a unique journey to unravel the fascination, presenting the Tiki works of the Junge Wilde painter Bernd Zimmer alongside the Indigenous Marquesan art from the collection of the Museum Fünf Kontinente in Munich. An entirely new interplay of European art and Oceanic culture arises through the contrasts and harmonies as a result. In addition the catalogue traces European images of these islands, accompanies Karl von den Steinen on an ethnological expedition, and invites the reader to revive Tiki pop culture in America. Text in German. Published to accompany an exhibition at Museum Fünf Kontinente, Munich (DE) from 10 July 2020 to 28 February 2021.

Eleanor Flood knows she's a mess. But today will be different. Today she will shower and put on real clothes. She will attend her yoga class after dropping her son, Timby, off at school. She'll see an old friend for lunch. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action - life happens.For today is the day Timby has decided to pretend to be ill to weasel his way into his mother's company. It's also the day surgeon Joe has chosen to tell his receptionist - but not Eleanor - that he's on vacation.

For a long time the Elbe stood in the shadow of Father Rhine, but now its time has come! It is being discovered more and more as a stream with a river landscape that is as grandiose as it is dynamic, rich in vastness, stillness and beauty. The UNESCO biosphere reserve "Middle Elbe" is like a string of pearls in which places of world importance and UNESCO World Heritage sites are lined up. As the last major river that has so far been spared from canalization, the Elbe can still live out its ups and downs freely and change its face every day. Lined by sandy shores and rustic alluvial forests, inhabited by beavers, eagles and storks, this landscape is considered an ark of diversity, the "silverware" of German unity. The author of the “3in1 travel guide for the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve”, Dr. Ernst Paul Dorfler, is itself a child of the Elbe. He takes his readers into a world of amazement and wonder. Here, on the Elbe in Magdeburg, the first German Emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year. With 7 hiking tours and 15 bike tours, the author cheerfully takes his readers on a journey through the region. It makes them curious about their surroundings and at the same time sharpens their senses for the previously unseen in nature and landscape. the first German emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year.
