This publication, the fourth volume of an important catalogue raisonné of the work of Francis Picabia (1879-1953), includes paintings and selected drawings dating from 1940 into 1952.

Notorious even in his lifetime, most of these works are now known to have adapte...

The Art of Being Dangerous offers many different images of women, some humorous, some challenging, some well-known, some forgotten, but all unique. In a dazzling variety of creative forms, artists and writers of diverse identities explo...

The book X Years in Art celebrates the ten year anniversary of the Antwerp based Nadya Kotova Gallery. Studying economics in the early 1990s in St. Petersburg—during the shift from a planned market economy to a free market economy in Russia—she initially didn’t think of becoming a gallerist or an art dealer.

Creativiteit wordt geprezen als de drijvende kracht en de belangrijkste vaardigheid van de eenentwintigste eeuw. Het debat over de oorsprong en het potentieel van creativiteit speelt zich voornamelijk af binnen het domein van de natuur- en sociale wetenschappen, en weinig in de humaniora. Gebruikmakend van inzichten uit deze velden, puttend uit ideeën van Parmenides, Spinoza, Goethe, Emerson, Nietzsche, Freud, Benjamin, Bergson, Deleuze, Spivak en vele anderen, stelt Jeroen Lutters dat creat...
