Susanne Kriemann (born 1972) organizes her research projects as artist's books and installations, which she rearranges and reinterprets for each exhibition. She combines her own photos with historical texts and visual material found in archives in both her native Germany and abroad. This volume offers the first overview of her work.

Julius Popp's large sculptures, industrial in scale and content, engage the human processing of information in the digital age. This slim landscape monograph looks at drawings and installations that use water, light and motion to explore underlying structures in the information age.

This book documents the spatial interventions of Austrian artist Marianne Lang (born 1979), who blends natural elements with manmade structures and objects--leaves eaten by caterpillars with wood inlays, climbing vines revealing old masonry or thousands of woodlice forming a carpet pattern.

Herbert Hamak (born 1952) has evolved a somewhat alchemical approach to painting: he mixes pigments with a binding agent of artificial resin and wax. Before the substance solidifies, he emerges his stretched canvas into a mold, while the image remains invisible. This publication presents Hamak's latest series developed specifically for Mies van der Rohe's Museum Haus Lange.

German artist Heinz Mack (born 1931) is one of the founders of the early 1960s avant-garde group Zero, whose other members included Otto Piene, Lucio Fontana and Hans Haacke. Mack's experiments in light--his luminous reliefs, steles and rotors--fabricated at the height of his affiliation with Zero, are the focus of this volume.

Until now, Hungarian artist Szilard Huszank (born 1980) has been known primarily for his representational paintings of nudes, interiors and elaborately arranged still lifes. This catalogue, however, records the artist's current shift towards less detailed and more abstracted picture planes, in a series of "imaginary landscapes" produced during a stay in Marseilles.

This volume presents the work of Jerusalem-born artist Steve Sabella (born 1975) and Berlin artist Rebecca Raue (born1976) alongside ancient chess pieces and Persian mirrors from the Bumiller Collection, plus essays and poetic contributions by contemporary thinkers, art historians and curators.

For a decade, Eva Schwab (born 1966) has been examining her own childhood through painting. She revisits archetypal scenes from her family album, which she then transfers to wax-coated canvas, expanding and dissecting the image in an overt effort to recuperate the past. Kerber's handsomely bound monograph surveys work of the past five years.

Swiss sculptor Carlo Borer (born 1961) creates objects in steel or aluminum, which he designs and constructs on a 3D-CAD system.This volume gathers his sculptures, statues and installations (which he playfully calls "transformers," "clouds" and "spaceships"), which appear to belong to some future civilization.

Artist Martin Walde (born 1957) uses a wide variety of media in conceptual works that examine the phenomenon of mythologized science. Facts From Fiction traces the extinct genus Hallucigenia--the primitive worm--through the highs and lows of varying interpretations, exploring the blurring of science and mythology.

Political-poetic interventions by Brazilian artist Ayrson Heráclito and US-based Portugese artist Rigo 23 are juxtaposed with the collection of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt. In installations, films, photos and performances, the artists address the power of historical events from the era of slavery and colonial rule over the indigenous minorities of South America.

German artist Caroline Kober (born 1962) allows forms to emerge intuitively in her process of painting on paper, creating visual landscapes in beautifully modulating tones--pinks, blues and grays--that seduce the viewer into an imaginary sphere. She then introduces delicate line-drawn figures as quiet bearers of emotion to guide the viewer on the journey.

Abstraction and representation dovetail in the works of Berlin-based painter Dénesh Ghyczy (born 1970); in many, the individuals depicted are closing their eyes, searching for contact with something beyond the image. Between Lines presents a representative selection of Ghyczy's works from the past 17 years.

Painter of large Pop-ish abstractions, German artist Jochen Stenschke (born 1959) bombards his canvas with colorful organic forms afloat in pictorial space. Linking diverse artistic traditions ranging from Islamic ornamentalism to European abstraction, Stenschke recruits their motifs for his energetic imagery.

Commissioned to produce an installation for Mies van der Rohe's Museum Haus Lange, John Baldessari decided to "rub the building up the wrong way" with humorous interventions.

Sylvie Boisseau and Frank Westermeyer's video installation "Chinese an Advantage" takes place in a Chinese-language school in Stuttgart, and explores students' goals in life and attitudes towards China. Viewers follow these subjects in projections based on dialogues that express personal views of China among historical, social and literary references.

For his paper collages, Björn Braun (born 1979) carefully cuts out photographs from old illustrated books and reassembles them in fresh ways: a mountain range might grow out of the shingles of a church roof. Braun's sculptural works follow a similar logic--nothing can be destroyed unless something new is created from it.

German artist Constantin Jaxy (born 1957) creates drawings, prints, paintings, objects, sculptures, room constructions, as well as light, sound and shadow installations, all of which engage with the technical and the architectural. His first comprehensive monograph, this volume presents Jaxy's 30-year oeuvre chronologically.

German artist Kitty Kraus (born 1976) applies a Minimalist formal vocabulary to humble, elegiac materials that suggest an active engagement with alchemical transformations. Utilizing household glass, light bulbs, cloth and ice, Krauss explores a trajectory of dissolution in contemporary materials, finding a melancholic beauty in the literal and symbolic failure of form.

Angela Glajcar creates expansive sculptures from torn paper and plastic, which may float freely in space or form solid blocks of matter on the ground. This catalogue covers Angela Glajcar's works dating from 2007 to 2009, including her large paper installations in Kunstverein Ludwigshafen, in Wiesbaden and Frankfurt am Main and her exhibitions in the Roman church ruins at Abbaye d´Alspach, Kaysersberg and the Kunstverein Siegen.

Norbert Tadeusz (born 1940) remains one of the most important figurative painters in Germany. Dark Companions explores the role of the shadow in his oeuvre, focusing on three types: the harsh, graphic shadows of architectonic elements; the amorphous silhouettes of mythical beings; and the shadow of the artist himself, who appears in his paintings as both observer and creator.

In the acrylic-glass works of Berlin artist Michael Laube (born 1955), colorful structures interact in sequences of stripes or rings. Space Reloaded provides insights into Laube's work of the last five years.

To construct his room-filling installations, German artist Martin Pfeifle employs mundane materials such as drywall and unfinished planks, folded paper and bare neon tubes. For this catalogue--more of an artist's book than a traditional monograph--several projects are documented in photographs the artist took himself, providing unconventional views of the works and visitors as they interact with them.

Inspired by her Philippine origins, multimedia artist Lizza May David (born 1975) explores topics relating to memory, knowledge and loss in archives and nature in the Philippines. The Canvas and the Monkey offers insight into her painting of the last decade.

Estonian painter Paul Pretzer (born 1981) depicts scenes of fabulous creatures engrossed in absurd acts and surreal still lifes. All the Pleasure and All the Pain is the first comprehensive volume on Pretzer's work.

German painter Erwin Gross (born 1953) approaches diverse art-historical references such as German Romanticism with an almost sculptural handling of paint, which is more rubbed in than applied with a brush. This volume gathers Gross' recent works, in which landscape and abstraction merge.

Paolo Chiasera addresses the complex relationships that exist between young people and their role models and traditions. Chiasera's paintings and installations communicate both intellectual involvement and conceptual detachment, pathos and grand gesture. This catalogue documents Chiasera's solo exhibition at MARTa Herford, which saw him create two large installations around the topic of landscape.

Between 1929 and 1943, an outstanding new lifestyle magazine called Die Neue Linie ("The New Line") was published by Beyer Press in Leipzig. No other publication in this period was so consistent in bringing avant-garde typographic ideas to a mass audience, as leading graphic designers from the Bauhaus, including László Moholy-Nagy, Umbo and Herbert Bayer, steered the look of the magazine, whose contents combined fashion, literature, graphic design and art. Unembellished fonts, dynamic diagonals and dramatic use of photomontage were key to the journal's striking appearance. Its authors included Walter Gropius, Aldous Huxley, Gottfried Benn and Thomas Mann; even the advertising pages, designed by Bauhaus veterans Herbert Bayer and Kurt Kranz, were always attractively composed. Despite widespread media conformity during the Nazi era, strangely Die Neue Linie was largely spared the regime's sanctions. The Bauhaus at the Newsstand illustrates the turbulent times in which the magazine appeared, reproducing spreads, statements, articles, a visual checklist of every issue and analyses of the magazine's delicate balancing act between modernism and conformity. The Bauhaus at the Newsstand is published as an abridged, revised and bilingual edition of the bestselling edition of 2007.

Berlin artist Susanne Pomrehn collects photographs on specific themes, taking them from personal and public archives and the Internet as well as producing her own. Modifying these images via cropping, rotation and folding, she uses the results to construct delicate photographic paper objects, which in turn become installations, accumulating fresh associations in their dimensionality.

The paintings and sculptures of Berlin-based Marlon Wobst (born 1980) celebrate physical interaction in all its shyness, awkwardness, desire, humor and curiosity. Extra presents a group of his ceramic sculptures, each an abstract encounter between naked bodies.
