Peter Fischli and David Weiss are Swiss artists who first began working together in the late 1970s.

The mood of their work ranges from the humorous – a pair of clay figures, for example, titled Mick Jagger and Brian Jones go home satisfied after composig ‘I Can’t Get No Satisfaction’ – to the banal – a photographic series devoted to Airports – and even the apparently invisible – their Untitled installation simulating, through minutely detailed polyurethane sculptures, an unfinished exhibition site.
Peter Fraser has been at the forefront of contemporary photography since the early 1980s. Much of his work involves an almost obsessive focus on the stuff of the world, the matter and materials that he finds in the everyday.
A catalogue from exhibition of a series of paintings titled ” Aftermath” at Peter Miller Gallery, NYC, by artist Peter Sacks from 12 September – 1 November 2014 Peter Sacks, a South African expatriate, has a biography that is as rich and varied as the art he practises. Having left his native country at a young age and gone on to become a recognised poet with tenure at Harvard, five books of poetry and a study of the English elegy to his name, Sacks stopped writing in the early 2000s and turned to painting instead.
The shifting confluences of poetry and painting elements of narrative, music, metaphor or symbol, as well as those of envisioning and evoking rather than depicting arrive at visual concerns at once bodily, topographical and architectural throughout the work of Peter Sacks.
This catalogue accompanied the exhibition that ran at Wits Art Museum, Johannesburg, in 2015, entitled Peter Schütz: An Eye On The World, celebrating the late artist’s legacy.

Anyone who uses Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for image management, editing, and workflow knows it is great software, and it has only gotten better with each new version. But there comes a time in every Lightroom user’s life when they want to do something…and they just can’t do it. While Lightroom covers the vast majority of a photographer’s needs–many say it covers roughly 80% of a professional imaging workflow–it just can’t do everything a shooter needs to put the final touches on a great image.

Dora Maar, born Henriette Theodora Markovitch in 1907, was a talented artist in her own right. While studying painting, she soon found a passion and gift for photography, and became a prominent member of the Surrealist movement. This catalogue traces her relationship with Picasso, from the time of their first meeting in late 1935 through 1937. Picasso expert Anne Baldassari demonstrates how those years were critical for both artists, and how their interaction provided mutual inspiration through the mid-1940s.
