“He’s been behind the camera forever. A friend of the light. Does he have a pact with the heavens? Do they tell him secrets? The language of light? He somehow travels on the same frequency. Respectfully engaging with the source.” — Samantha Morton“Most portraitists kill their subjects. He keeps them alive. He doesn’t want to freeze you in time. He’s made portraiture sexy again, but not stupid.

Ovid's Metamorphoses and its lasting impact on visual artThe Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses is among the most important works of Classical Antiquity, described in the seventeenth century as a ‘Bible for artists’. The compelling epic intertwines tales of chaos and the cosmos, encounters between gods, humans and nature, and the countless transformations to which they gave rise.For centuries, artists have drawn inspiration from these highly imaginative accounts of passion, jealousy, cunning and deceit on the part of deities, heroes and ordinary mortals. The stories have been interpreted in marble and paint, and more recently in moving pictures. This book shows the immense influence that Ovid has exerted on the visual arts – from Antiquity to the present day. It presents sculptures by Cellini, Bernini, Rodin and Bourgeois alongside paintings by Titian, Correggio, Caravaggio, Arcimboldo and Rubens.Ovid’s myths address universal human feelings, allowing them to speak as powerfully as ever to our imagination. This richly illustrated book, featuring essays by Francesca Cappelletti, Claudia Cieri Via, Bart Ramakers, Frits Scholten and Lucia Simonato, is the living proof.This publication accompanies the exhibitions at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (6 February-25 May 2026) and the Galleria Borghese, Rome (22 June-20 September 2026).

For almost 50 years, the theme of fashion has been a constant in the work of US artist Cindy Sherman. Cindy Sherman – Anti-Fashion is the first to focus on this close engagement with fashion and approaches her photographic oeuvre from a new perspective. In so doing, it sheds light on the interplay between art and fashion. For Sherman uses her numerous commissions from magazines and her collaborations with renowned designers as a constant source of artistic inspiration. This book reveals the subject of fashion as the starting point for the artist’s critical investigation of gender, stereotypes, and our attitude to aging. The wide range of Sherman’s assumed characters highlights the artificiality and changeability of identity, which – now more than ever – is shown to be selectable, (self-)constructed, and fluid.Text in English and Dutch.

In A Sense of Place, artist Harry Gruyaert makes cities pulse through the colors and light of his images, from Tokyo to New York, passing through Paris and Moscow.Artist Harry Gruyaert invites us on a sweeping journey through the city, freed from the usual geographic markers that structure travel. His gaze moves freely through the streets of New York, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, Antwerp, Mumbai and Zanzibar—ultimately, the destination matters little. What unites his photographs is not their subject but the way the world presents itself to him: the vibrant intensity of color, the sharp cuts of shadow, urban geometries that punctuate space like a phrase of jazz.Yet this movement—echoing the works gathered under the title A Sense of Place, reveals another dimension of his oeuvre: a chronicle of urban life. The city becomes a stage where social interactions shape identities, where each person negotiates, in a single movement, both individuality and belonging to a collective. While his compositions and mastery of colour have often been celebrated, less attention has been paid to the place his passage through the city gives to the anonymous city dweller.In a café, on a street corner, leaning against a wall, his figures are captured in the apparent insignificance of everyday life. Nothing extraordinary drives his gaze except a curiosity free of any social hierarchy. The visual power then arises from the reconfiguration of reality through color and composition. Social rituals, architecture and muted light, caught in the moment, become strange, tender or subtly ironic. The ordinary becomes theatrical. And his immersion in familiar territories—Belgium, France—further sharpens his vision.The body of work can thus be read as a vast inquiry into modern life, conducted over more than fifty years across the globe. In doing so, it captures what unfolds within the image, while also revealing a vital energy that extends beyond the frame fixed by the photographer’s eye.

Unique publication accompanying the astonishing exhibition on nature in the works of Arcimboldo, Bruegel, and BassanoHow did people in the Renaissance perceive nature and time? How were these relationships visualised in art? And what role did the fascinating cycles of seasons and months – expressed in ever-new and diverse forms – play in this context?These are some of the central questions explored in this volume. Masterpieces by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Jacopo and Leandro Bassano, and many others are examined not only from an art historical perspective but also in terms of their content and original purpose for the patrons who commissioned them.In addition to paintings, sculptures, and tapestries, the book presents clocks, globes, scientific instruments, and calendars, along with manuscripts and printed works related to the theme. Together, these objects illustrate how humanity oriented itself in the world and sought to find its place within it.

A visually stunning exploration of Bruges as a global crossroads: where art, trade, and culture shaped a world city. Connected Worlds of Bruges (900-1550) reveals the city’s long-standing place at the crossroads of global history. Far from being an isolated medieval town, Bruges has always thrived within a vast network of trade routes, cultural exchange, and political ties that stretched far beyond its borders.Through a carefully curated selection of remarkable objects, each a testament to historical encounters across continents, this book tells a rich, mosaic-like story of interconnectedness. It invites readers to explore Bruges from fresh and unexpected angles, shedding light on how local and global dynamics have shaped the city’s evolving identity as a world city.Published to mark the festive opening of the new BRUSK museum in Bruges (Belgium) from 8 May to 6 September 2026.

Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954–2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine. The core of Wolf’s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and Hong Kong Whispers is no exception.This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf’s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpaïs Du Bois (°1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf’s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois’ stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2004), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.

This book recounts the fascinating history of Titian's unfinished portrait, A Lady and her Daughter (possibly his mistress Milia and their daughter), which dates from the early 1550s. After Titian's death in 1576, it was repainted in his studio with a more saleable image of Tobias and the Angel. Often presented as Titian's work but in a style which made the attribution suspect, the painting has had a succession of owners. It belonged to Tsar Nicholas I for a short time, and ultimately to the art dealer René Gimpel, who hid it with other artwork in a warehouse in London during World War II, where it miraculously survived the Blitz. It was not until the mid-20th century that an x-ray examination uncovered the beautiful painting underneath, an undisputed work by the great master himself. The painstaking restoration process, begun in 1983, took 20 years. Notable art historians and conservators have contributed essays that offer an in-depth examination of this exceptional and mysterious painting.

This beautifully illustrated book, with numerous essays by an international roster of leading art historians, examines Jacopo Tintoretto's masterpiece Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria,painted between 1560 and 1570 for the Church of San Geminiano in Venice. It was displayed in this location for some 250 years until the church was demolished in 1807, and in 1818 the painting was sold into private hands. It was, famously, the centrepiece of the late rock star David Bowie's collection, being one of the first artworks he acquired. He had it for nearly 30 years, and named his record label after the artist (the Jones/Tintoretto Entertainment Company LLC). In 2016 it was purchased at auction by a private collector and donated to the Rubens House in Antwerp, where it is on long-term loan. This book accompanies the display of the painting, back in Venice for the first time in 200 years as part of an exhibition at Palazzo Ducale.
