The art of Jeff Koons imagined anew, alongside more than 200 works from the acclaimed Pinault collection This new volume brings together the work of one of the most iconic living artists with over 200 pieces from the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean in Marseille, France. Although his art encompasses a wide range of satirical sculptural work as well as digital collages and paintings, American sculptor Jeff Koons (born 1955) is best known for his unmistakable large-scale recreations of familiar objects in stainless steel. These famous mirror-finish works and other pieces from his oeuvre are placed in conversation with a series of selections from the Mucem archives, the result of a meticulous curatorial effort by the artist himself. The publication takes advantage of the richness of the Mucem’s collections, with everyday objects, traditional art, documents and photographs, encouraging readers to compare and contrast the artworks on levels both formal and symbolic.

Four decades of Taylor’s pursuit of Black representational truth through expressive, politically engaged two- and three-dimensional formsPublished with Musée Picasso.This volume encompasses the entire four-decade career of Los Angeles–based artist Henry Taylor (born 1958). Uniting around 100 works—including paintings, sculptures and installations—the monograph evinces Taylor’s lifelong dedication to depicting the human condition in all its diversity. Taylor is best known for his depiction of Black American life, and each of his works is a holistic visual biography. Interweaving personal experiences, collective memories and reinterpretations of iconic works of art—notably those by David Hammons, Philip Guston and Pablo Picasso—Taylor’s kinetic, loose brushwork animates and preserves moments in time, both pivotal and quotidian.In addition to high-quality reproductions, this eponymous monograph features an overarching essay on the artist’s career by curator Joanne Snrech; an interview by Cécile Debray; a critical essay on the representation of American history in the artist’s oeuvre by art historian Elvan Zabunyan; a reprint of a text by curator Laura Hoptman published in 2012 for MoMA; and a chronology by curator François Dareau.

Across sculpture, film and print, Pape consistently places the audience at the center of her immersive practice rooted in social realitiesA sculptor, engraver and filmmaker, Brazilian artist Lygia Pape (1927–2004) began her career within the Grupo Frente movement in Rio de Janeiro, influenced by her training with Fayga Ostrower at the Rio Museum of Modern Art school. She conceived the idea of “weaving space” as a form of perception that becomes a living interaction. Thus, her luminous installations, square reliefs and experimental films, as presented at the Bourse de Commerce, are staged not as finished objects but as immersive experiences.
