Più che un libro, un diario personale in cui la fotografa raccoglie notazioni, fotografie prese negli studi, nelle case e nei club, lettere, documentazioni di eventi legati alla sua esperienza newyorkese negli anni Ottanta, arricchite da alcune testimonianze di artisti rilasciate oggi sul periodo. Un percorso certamente non filologico ma minimale e intimo, teso a trasmettere il sentimento di un momento a chi non l'ha vissuto.

À Bordeaux focuses on 11 monumental new sculptures by the artist installed in Bordeaux, France, seven of which have never before been reproduced. These include "Paula" (2013), a cast-iron sculpture standing over 23 feet tall, and "Marianna & Awilda" (2013), a work in stainless steel composed of figures seated facing one another in a dialogue.

In spring 1624, the Flemish Baroque painter Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) traveled from his home base of Genoa to live in Palermo, Sicily. There, Van Dyck found a network of Flemish artists and Genoese merchants that provided him with important connections for his career. Published for an exhibition at London's Dulwich Picture gallery, this volume takes a close look at Van Dyck's late Renaissance Sicilian years. Its first section focuses on the famous portrait of Emanuel Filibert, reuniting the work with the actual armor worn by the Italian viceroy in the painting, and examining other portraits of the Sicilian period, as well as devotional works. Shortly after Van Dyck's arrival in Sicily, the plague struck Palermo, and the second portion of the book addresses its effects on both the city and on motifs in Van Dyck's art, such as his paintings of Saint Rosalia interceding for Palermo's safety.

Il volume presenta opere d'arte africana provenienti da collezioni private italiane, per la maggior parte mai esposte prima, unitamente agli interventi dei più importanti specialisti del settore. Maschere, figure d'altare, feticci, oggetti rituali e di uso quotidiano creano quindi l'occasione per scoprire un patrimonio misconosciuto a partire dall'esperienza di chi ha saputo mettere insieme queste strepitose raccolte. Come avvicinarsi alle opere d'arte africane? Da dove vengono, quale vita hanno alle spalle e come sono arrivate fin qui? Cosa vediamo quando le guardiamo? L'Africa, e in tempi più recenti le arti africane, è stata oggetto della nostra meraviglia, invitandoci al viaggio, reale o immaginario. Per tentare di restituire o evocare l'esperienza estetica, sensoriale e simbolica degli africani che le hanno create e che ne hanno fatto uso, bisogna però farsi carico del fatto, così banale e ovvio da diventare invisibile, che questi oggetti si trovano molto spesso in Occidente e non in Africa. È questa la prima cosa di cui dovremmo meravigliarci. Non partiremo dunque dai villaggi africani, ma dalle case dei collezionisti, luoghi di dimora abituali di molte opere d'arte africane, per cercare così di comprendere come la cultura e il mondo in cui viviamo orientino il nostro sguardo, consentendoci di vedere certe cose e non altre: una certa Africa.
