Marxove príšery
Kto bol v skutočnosti autorom desivých prízrakov z depozitára Galérie mesta Bratislavy? Kniha Marxove príšery prináša sondu do života a doposiaľ málo preskúmanej tvorby bratislavského maliara Bélu Marxa (1885 – 1951). Ukazuje, že kým jeho idylické pohľady na Prešporok sú dobre známe, temné, až surreálne diela spájala odborná literatúra s jeho menom neprávom.
Kniha čitateľa sprevádza spoločenským a kultúrnym prostredím mesta po roku 1900. Na pozadí osudov generácie, ktorej životy drvili politické otrasy 20. storočia, ožíva atmosféra trojjazyčného Prešporka. Autorka na základe precízneho archívneho výskumu rekonštruuje Marxovo rodinné zázemie, jeho štúdiá, viedenský a budapeštiansky angažmán, potulky po Slovensku i záverečnú emigráciu do Nemecka. Najväčším objavom knihy je predstavenie „príšer“ – unikátnej kolekcie diel na pomedzí symbolizmu, dekadencie a art brut, ktorých stopa vedie k Bélovmu bratovi Jozefovi. Autorka sa kriticky vyrovnáva s doterajšími biografickými mýtmi a predkladá katalóg diel oboch bratov.

Kahlo: The Bigger Picture
Saturated with color and brimming with insight into Frida Kahlo’s oeuvre, this sumptuous book presents her art in all its intensity, detail, and visual power, with six magnificent fold-outs interspersed throughout the book.
Few artists have fused life and art as completely as Frida Kahlo, whose paintings transform personal experience into images of extraordinary force. Bringing together approximately ninety works, this book traces the full arc of her career—from early self-portraits to paintings shaped by love, politics, physical suffering, and fierce independence.
The often full-page or double-page reproductions and details of the works encourage close looking, allowing readers to move between Kahlo’s commanding compositions and the quieter details that carry emotional and symbolic weight.
Interspersed throughout the volume are six large-format fold-outs devoted to landmark paintings, including Self-Portrait (in a Velvet Dress), Self-Portrait (on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States), The Bride Frightened at Seeing Life Opened, Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, Self-Portrait (Diego on My Mind), and Self-Portrait (Dedicated to Doctor Eloesser).
Reproduced at an expanded scale, these fold-outs reward sustained attention to brushwork, surface, and detailed iconography. The accompanying texts integrate biography with visual analysis, clarifying how Kahlo’s art absorbed the realities of her body, her relationships, and her political beliefs. Featuring a cloth binding and sprayed edges drawn from Kahlo’s imagery, this is a book designed to be lingered over—an absorbing object for devoted admirers and a striking addition to any art library.

Frida: The Making of an Icon
A sweeping new assessment of Frida Kahlo’s place in modern art, from her self-made image to her lasting influence for contemporary artists
Few artists have shaped popular culture as profoundly as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), whose striking self-portraits and deeply personal symbolism have captivated audiences for decades. Remembered, too, for her tumultuous marriage to fellow artist Diego Rivera and her passionate political activism, Kahlo’s legacy transcends her artistic oeuvre. To this day, contemporary artists draw on Kahlo’s life and work for creative inspiration. Showcasing Kahlo’s paintings alongside the work of other artists from around the world and from midcentury to today, Frida: The Making of an Icon investigates the profound and lasting nature of Kahlo’s impact.
With essays by leading researchers, scholars, and curators, Frida: The Making of an Icon is the first major examination of how Kahlo became a global icon and an important artistic influence, especially beginning in the 1970s. In seven sections, addressing themes from Kahlo’s role as a gender-fluid intellectual to her political activism, and including conversations with contemporary artists Magali Lara and Mónica Mayer, this important book celebrates and bridges the complexities of her iconic status and cultural, political, commercial, and artistic legacy.

William Kentridge - Milestones: At the Heart of Creation
A new title of Skira's new series Milestones: At the Heart of Creation, dedicated to today's greatest living artists.
Skira's new series Milestones is a collection of books devoted to today's greatest living artists. More than retrospectives, Milestones are comprehensive excursions into the daily life and work of exceptional living artists and provide a rare backstage glimpse at their art. Each volume of the series presents one or more intimate interviews with the artist by a curator or a fellow artist, an essay by a renowned author, and the artist's biography. The iconography of the book includes images and plates of the key works explained by the artists themselves and an original photoshoot of the artist in his studio by leading photographers, as well as a "family album" with previously unpublished shots and personal photos.
Born in Johannesburg in 1955, William Kentridge is internationally renowned for the expressionism of his work in numerous media (charcoal, printmaking, sculpture and film), as well as his acclaimed theatrical and operatic productions. As elusive as it is allusive, Kentridge's art is shaped by apartheid and grounded in the politics of the post-apartheid era, and in science, literature and history.
Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka: Rivals and Networkers
The legendary rivalry between two exceptional artists of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, a rivalry that sparked artistic masterpieces.
This lavishly illustrated publication looks at the relationship of the two towering figures of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele. They were rivals and masterful networkers, and their race for success and recognition opens up a previously untold chapter of modern art.
Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele were rising stars in early twentieth-century Vienna, and their early work laid the foundations for Austrian Expressionism. Their rivalry is as exceptional as their networks and artworks. When Egon Schiele died in 1918 at just twenty-eight years old, his attempt at reconciliation with Kokoschka having failed, the elder artist still had six decades ahead of him, during which he would be celebrated internationally as a major Austrian figure. But he never escaped Schiele's shadow--quite the contrary. With historical documents and art reproductions, this publication shows in detail the feud that these two artists fought.
Andy Warhol - The Complete Textiles and Fashion
This visually stunning volume is the first to document in its entirety Andy Warhol's graphically charged and occasionally whimsical work in textiles and fashion.
Spanning more than three decades, this book highlights a little-known but influential aspect of Warhol's creative output: his inventive use of printed fabrics and wearable design. From roller-printed cottons and border patterns in the 1950s to screen-printed garments in the '70s and '80s, these works reveal the foundations of his Pop aesthetic-serial imagery, commercial motifs, and a playful engagement with surface and form.
His designs appeared on T-shirts, handkerchiefs, silk scarves, laundry bags, underwear, and jackets-everyday items he purchased off the rack and transformed through image and repetition. These early textile creations also mark a crucial step in his artistic development, serving as the origin of the serialization that would define his entire body of work. Because these designs were never intended for galleries or museums, they remained largely overlooked-until now.
Featuring over 200 illustrations, many previously unpublished, the book showcases Warhol's collaborations with manufacturers and designers, including projects with Stephen Sprouse, Halston, and Interview magazine. It also includes promotional pieces, garments made from his textiles, and rare ephemera that place these creations within the broader context of mid-century and postmodern design. Warhol expert Paul Maréchal offers fresh insight into how these works blurred the line between art and commerce, long before artist-brand collaborations became the norm.
His engaging text repositions Warhol not as a conventional fashion figure, but as a visual innovator who reimagined how patterns, products, and popular culture could intersect. Rich in detail and visual flair, this book is essential for Warhol admirers and anyone interested in the crosscurrents of art, clothing, and design.
Václav Kabát
Po několik desetiletí patřil Václav Kabát k výrazným osobnostem české knižní ilustrace. Ilustroval desítky knih a jeho práce provázely generace čtenářů, zejména díky dlouhodobé spolupráci s nakladatelstvím Albatros. Přesto jeho tvorba nikdy nebyla jen doprovodem literatury – Kabát vytvářel svébytný výtvarný svět, ve kterém se potkává humor, fantazie i tichá poezie. Tato první rozsáhlejší retrospektivní publikace představuje Kabátovo dílo v širším kontextu – od knižních ilustrací přes volnou grafiku až po osobité kresby fantaskních strojů, bytostí a imaginárních světů. Vedle reprodukcí výtvarných prací obsahuje také biografickou studii, rozhovor s autorem, vlastní a autobiografické texty a soupis díla. Kabátův výtvarný svět je plný hravosti, jemné ironie i tajemství. V jeho kresbách se setkává tradice české imaginativní ilustrace s osobitou fantazií autora, který dokáže z obyčejných věcí vytvářet podivuhodné a často poetické obrazy. Publikace přináší čtenářům nejen pohled na život a tvorbu výrazného ilustrátora, ale také připomíná důležitou kapitolu české knižní kultury 20. století. Kniha vychází u příležitosti autorových devadesátých čtvrtých narozenin.
Rembrandt. The Paintings. 45th Ed.
He was the most sought-after painter in the prosperous trading city of Amsterdam yet died completely impoverished. Though he never left his homeland, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn's (1606-1669) work extends far beyond the confines of his personal experience, constituting some of the most effective and multifaceted works in art history, forever engraved on the collective memory - The Night Watch, epitomizing the flowering of Dutch urban culture in the 17th century, or Self-Portrait as Zeuxis, which remains enigmatic to this day.As an artist of the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt's interest was in human passions. Bible scenes such as Bathsheba with King David's Letter (1654) also highlight the subjects' vulnerability, going far beyond what had previously been depicted in painting. Rembrandt also left behind a large number of self-portraits - no other artist of the time portrayed himself so frequently, thus documenting his own development from youth to old age.Following our XXL bestseller, TASCHEN is now releasing this abridged, more compact edition featuring Rembrandt's paintings in stunning reproductions - from Belshazzar's Feast (c. 1635) to his furious late work, this is a chance to experience Rembrandt's painterly oeuvre in a whole new way.

Shaping Brands
Offering a research-based framework that goes beyond exclusivity and loyalty to focus on visibility, recognition and accessibility as key drivers of brand success, this book explores the true value of brand design.In his new book, the award-winning author examines the value of brands and the crucial role of brand design. He conveys a scientifically sound understanding of the underlying methods, modes of action, processes and objectives. His approach represents a shift in perspective: it is not about charging a brand with exclusive meanings, but the primary goal should be to reach as many people as possible and increase their willingness to buy a brand's productGood design makes a significant contribution to the success of a brand by making it perceptible, recognizable and memorable, and thereby facilitating the purchasing process. The question of impact is, to a large extent, a question of form – the physical reality of the design and the way it is communicated. Christoph Zielke presents the overall context in a compact way and provides well-founded insights for the development of effective design strategies that sustainably increase brand value.

Keith Haring in 3D
A fresh perspective on the work of Keith Haring - one of the world’s most beloved contemporary artists - with a special focus on his three-dimensional work
From the moment he landed in NYC in 1978, Keith Haring took three-dimensional objects - whether discards on the street, household appliances, or subway walls - as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies inspired creative connections beyond the boundaries of the art world: Haring collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an now-famous session during which he made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. Although his career was brief, Keith Haring’s sculpture practice was a significant and integral facet of his extensive oeuvre, with his three-dimensional artworks found in museums and art collections worldwide.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Keith Haring in 3Dilluminates this rarely explored dimension of Haring’s work, and its role in his enduring legacy. The book’s generous format and engaging design, including more than 350 illustrations, invites readers to immerse themselves in the world Haring created. Featuring archival photographs of Haring at work, stunning reproductions of his art in three dimensions, and a trove of essays by respected curators, scholars, and collectors, Keith Haring in 3D celebrates in stunning detail the buoyant, brilliant work of one of the world’s most iconic artists.
Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint painted as though she was channeling the universe. Fascinated from childhood by botany and mathematics, she began her career painting landscapes and portraits, but other preoccupations stirred within her: questions of spirit, unseen energies, patterns too vast for the eye alone.
Her art was inseparable from her spiritual practice. With a circle of female artists called The Five, she held séances, heard voices from "High Masters," and was inspired by the Theosophical Society and Rudolf Steiner’s theories. Working tirelessly to map life’s hidden dimensions, she would paint to the point of physical collapse.
By 1906, her canvases featured radiant geometries of spirals and orbs, impregnated with symbols, letters, and words, anticipating the later embrace of abstraction by Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, and others. Her vast painted cycles?like her works for the Temple and The Ten Largest?often depicted dualities: inside and out, the earthly and the esoteric, man and woman, good and evil.
Living as a vegetarian, questioning the fixity of gender, af Klint was clearly before her time, yet very much of it too, and pretty much uncelebrated in her day. Her prodigious output lay unseen for decades, locked away by her own instruction. Only in the 1980s did the world begin to recognize her as a true pioneer of abstract art.
This book invites you into her visionary world, via a luminous selection of her works and a detailed essay distilling their complexity. Her once-secret universe is revealed to us anew.
Marcel Duchamp
As the most comprehensive publication on Marcel Duchamp to date, this lavishly illustrated volume spans six decades of his creative output, offering a sumptuous visual introduction for newcomers and serving as an indispensable resource for artists and scholars.
More than any other modern artist, Marcel Duchamp challenged and transformed the very definition of art. Published to accompany the first North American retrospective of his work in more than fifty years, organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Philadelphia Art Museum, the exhibition and catalogue leverage two of the most important collections of Duchamp’s art in the world to bring together legendary works for the first time in decades. Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 works spanning six decades?including painting, sculpture, readymades, film, photography, and ephemera?and featuring a deeply researched chronology interwoven with archival and documentary material, Marcel Duchamp offers a new generation the first opportunity to experience the breadth of Duchamp’s revolutionary work.
An expansive introduction by curators Ann Temkin, Michelle Kuo, and Matthew Affron explores Duchamp’s radical rethinking of art and the museum, transformation of authorship, innovative exhibition and installation displays, and a lifelong dedication to changing the relationship between art and life. Revealing new dimensions of his conceptual brilliance, subversive wit, and lasting impact on generations of artists, Marcel Duchamp is a rich visual compendium and an essential scholarly resource for anyone seeking to understand an artist who changed the course of modern art.
