This large-format book first appeared in 2001, and then again in 2004. More than fifteen years later, on the occasion of his passing, this third edition once again plunges us into the surreal, imaginative work of Henri Van Herwegen (1940–2019), the Belgian sculptor known by his pseudonym: Panamarenko. Most recognised for his assemblage work, the sculptor had a penchant for aeronautics, and variations on this theme were endlessly revisited throughout his career. None of his whimsical contrap...

Aan de hand van beelden van vrouwen en mannen uit de hoogtijdagen van de Japanse prentkunst (1765–1865) gaat dit boek dieper in op de subtiele iconografie en de complexe symbolen die eigen zijn aan deze traditie. De intrigerende elementen verwijzen naar de Japanse geschiedenis, literatuur, mythologie, mode, folklore en roddels uit de Edo-periode en zijn soms moeilijk te onderscheiden, laat staan te vatten, zonder de juiste kennis.

Precies vijfhonderd jaar geleden kwam er een einde aan de legendarische reis (1520−1521) die Albrecht Dürer door de Nederlanden maakte.

In het verslag noteerde Dürer niet alleen nauwkeurig alle kosten en uitgaven maar ook de talrijke geschenken hij ontving. Tijdens zijn verblijf was Antwerpen zijn uitvalsbasis. Vanuit de Scheldestad bezocht de Neurenberger verschillende andere steden...

Henry van de Velde (1863–1957) is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture, but is much less well-known for his work as a draughtsman and painter. Besides that, he was also a talented visual artist. Ten years after completing his education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Van de Velde traded painting for applied arts and architecture. But it was only after his death that interest in his creations as a painter took hold. This catalogue comprises roughly 60 paintings an...

Like the hotel, these hand-painted polymer resin multiples were intended to highlight the living conditions of the Palestinian people. The miniatures were created by Banksy, who supervised decorations carried out by Palestinian artists – copies of the iconic graffiti he has painted on t...
