Paul Thek in Italy (1962–1976)
Valérie Da Costa
Published by les presses du réel, Dijon, 2022, 316 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 17 × 24 cm, English / French
Price: €24 (Out of stock)

From 1962 to 1976, Paul Thek traveled to Italy, for multiple extended stays. In Rome, he discovered ancient sculpture, the achievements of the Renaissance, the Baroque churches, but above all the contemporary artistic effervescence of the capital. In Sicily, with his friend the photographer Peter Hujar, he was confronted with the question of death through reliquaries, religious processions or the extraordinary Capuchin catacombs. On the island of Ponza, he immersed himself in an ecstatic Mediterranean lifestyle, in osmosis with nature and the sea in particular.

Ensembles
Anna Oppermann
Published by Neue Galerie-Sammlung Ludwig, Aachen, 1976, 9 sets of cards enclosed in cardboard folder, (b/w ill.), 21.4 × 30.4 cm, German
Price: €38 (Out of stock)

Anna Oppermann (1940–1993) is best known for her “ensembles”—expansive and complex assemblages of drawings, photographs, notes, and found objects that she developed, often over the course of years, in idiosyncratic creative processes. The fruits of an approach that was both intensely visual and tenaciously reflective, her ensembles are explicitly open works.

Pool 5
Nora Turato
Published by MOMA, New York, 2022, unpaginated (colour & b/w ill.), 14.8 × 20 cm, English
Price: €50 (Out of stock)

In Nora Turato’s virtuosic performances, spoken word, graphic design, and bookmaking are intertwined to explore the possibilities of language in a culture oversaturated with information. Turato collects words and phrases from a range of sources: the Internet, media headlines, advertisements, conversations, books, commercial products, and her own thoughts. Pool 5—which takes the form of a performance and a book—assembles and arranges these pools of text into a growing script that Turato memorizes and performs, alternating rhythm and intonation, voices and modes. The publication serves simultaneously as prop, set, exhibition, archive, and artist’s book. Designed by Sabo Day.
