Review Paul Klee Catalogue Raisoneé Volume I: 1883-1912 / Thames & Hudson:

Paul Klee (1879_1940) is one of the most significant and best-loved artists of the twentieth century. For the nine volumes of this landmark in Paul Klee scholarship, the Berne-based Paul Klee Foundation has researched intensively the artist's 9,600 drawings, prints, watercolors, and oil paintings, allowing the artist's complete works to be assembled and published for the first time. Presenting Klee's oeuvre in chronological order, each volume contains an introduction in German and English, an explanation of the catalogue system, a German-English glossary, a bibliography, and indexes. All the entries are illustrated and include catalogue numbers, technical descriptions, measurements, references to related works, details of provenance and location, relevant literature, and a list of exhibitions and auctions in which works have appeared. Klee's own entries from the catalogue he wrote from 1911 onwards are also included, and the most important works of his career are illustrated in color. Volume III follows Klee from 1919 through 1922, when he taught at the Bauhaus and became particularly involved with Bauhaus theater. Many of his works from this period-masks, clowns, acrobats, ballet dancers-reflect the influence of drama, ballet, the circus, and cabaret performances. This monumental publication is an essential reference work for libraries, art resources, and lovers of Klee's poetic, imaginative, and wholly original work.

Review Men's Lives: The Surfmen And Baymen of the South Fork / Channel Photographics:

Men’s Lives is the powerful and moving portrait of the waning, three-hundred-year-old culture of the commercial fisherman of the eastern end of Long Island, their ordinary lives rendered extraordinary "and universal "by circumstance and by the spare, fluid prose of one-time fellow crewman Peter Matthiessen, whom the New York Times Book Review has called "a unique and masterful visionary artist". Doug Kuntz, a local fisherman-photographer, also wished to leave a record of this handful of men and women who still live from the sea. He, along with Dan Budnick, Martine Franck, Jean Gaumy, Evelyn Hofer, Lynn Johnson, Danny Lyon, "and Gilles Peress, observed and photographed this seafaring community between 1981 and 1985, in the distinguished documentary tradition pioneered by Matthew Brady and the Farm Security Administration. Their work, together with photographs culled from private collections and archives, has resulted in an unforgettable portrait, in pictures and prose, of an unforgettable, and unforgetting, breed of men. This deluxe two-volume set, housed in a clamshell box with a signed limited edition silver gelatin print by Lynn Johnson, is a marvel of modern day bookmaking and is here reissued in a numbered edition of only 500 copies. Each copy is signed by author Peter Matthiessen. Photographs by Dan Budnick, Martine Franck, Jean Gaumy, Evelyn Hofer, Lynn Johnson, Danny Lyon and Gilles Peress. It’s not fish ye’re buying, it’s men’s lives. - Sir Walter Scott.

Review Baumschlager & Eberle / Springer:

Among contemporary Austrian architects, the work of Baumschlager & Eberle has become synonymous with highly intelligent, economical, and ecological solutions. The transition from the small housing projects of the early years to large urban designs, school buildings, administrative and industrial buildings, and numerous special projects, such as the Vienna airport, has been followed closely in the international press. This volume illustrates why their work is some of the finest being built anywhere today.
