The fourteenth edition of Erik Kessels' found photography series presents a semi-nude detective story: who chopped the heads off all the sunbathers? This latest series was discovered in the late eighties by the photographer Toon Michiels. Edited & designed by Erik Kessels.

The work of Dutch artist Vanderheyden belongs to a generation of European conceptual artists that revisits specific ideas from the avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century. His oeuvre, both simple as it is enigmatic, displays all sorts of seemingly contradictory tendencies and reveals a great curiosity about the world.

A lifelong dedication to his practice is surveyed in this clearly laid-out and designed publication that contains ample colour reproductions of works, photographs, essay...

Dumas’ first solo show in South Africa after moving to The Netherlands 30 years ago provided occasion for this catalogue. Featured are more than 50 paintings, drawings and prints presented at the exhibition, as well as personal letters, documents and photographs collected by the artist. A selection of the artist’s own writings is included, ranging from her unique commentaries on art to aphoristic writings and poetry that are once insightful, witty and thought-provoking.

"I can resist everything", wrote Oscar Wilde, "except temptation". What is it that makes a painting so attractive, so irresistible? In this collection of essays, Dominic van den Boogerd writes with passion about the exhibitions he has seen, the painters he has spoken with, and the talks by artists that he has organised as the director of De Ateliers in Amsterdam. About the pleasures and pitfalls of painting, forbidden favourites and the flirtation between the art of painting and other muses.

Leen Voet verwerkt elementen uit visuele en literaire bronnen met subtiele humor in schilderijen, installaties en tekeningen, die ze systematisch in reeksen samenbrengt. Vanuit een voyeuristische blik op het leven, de schilderkunst en het kunstenaarschap, reflecteert Voet over stereotypen, het lokale, de autonomie van het individu en over oorsprong en herkomst. Haar stijl balanceert op de grens van het picturale en wordt gekenmerkt door levendige kleuren, afgelijnde kleurvlakken en geometrisc...

Noud and Ruby decided to spruce up their living room in 1965 by refurnishing the fireplace and adding a new sofa, a tufted corner piece in a classy shade of beige velveteen; not a right-angled design, but a soft, sensual curve snaking around the corner of the room. Noud and Ruby’s redecorating set the scene for what would become a sincere and erotic collaboration between the couple that spanned almost ten years and documented both fashion and fantasy. But the pictures were never intended to...

‘Then, Now, and Then’ consists of 16 films that Marijke van Warmerdam made during her stay in Rome in 2017 and subsequent visits to the city. All the films are loops, and most last no longer than a few minutes. They portray life on the street as the artist takes us on a walk through the city. Distance and proximity, visibility and invisibility, movement and rotation alternate as the films show how the dynamism of the Baroque lives on in today’s Rome. With her keen eye for abstract image...
