Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The art of Jackie Giles is a bridge between Aboriginal cosmology and the modern world. His paintings reveal the profundity of Dreamtime and the wisdom possessed by traditional healers. Text in English and French.For a large part of his life, Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles Tjapaltjarri (ca 1935-2010) led a nomadic existence, traveling across large tracts of and later spending time in small communities in Australia's vast Western Desert region. Jackie Giles was renowned as a man of great erudition and a powerful healer, Maparnjarra in his native Ngaanyatjarra language. The powers of these traditional healers include the gift of seeing into the bodies and even the spirits of others. In the 1990s, Jackie Giles started painting with acrylic on canvas. Mr Giles, as he was often called, combined an intimate knowledge of his land with his own oneiric visions to build what became a significant personal oeuvre. These paintings celebrate the Tjukurpa (Dreaming), which pervades the land and is a cornerstone of its identity. Built around labyrinthine patterns and monumental shapes, these dynamic, rhythmical compositions allude to the esoteric, sacred subject matter of the Dreaming. The intense, striking works that make up this awe-inspiring oeuvre manage to link two dimensions: Ngaanyatjarra cosmology and the rapidly changing modern world. Text in English and French.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Everything Flows: A tribute to water's ceaseless movement, shaping stories in stone. Laura Veschi's photographs capture this flow, echoing the creative process of sculptor Filippo Tincolini. Tradition meets innovation, as ancient skills merge with contemporary art. Text in English, French and Italian.Everythingflows is a book of photographs by Laura Veschi in which the image forms the narrative and emotional core of the work. Guided by the author's black-and-white photographs, we explore the world of marble in Carrara, beginning in the mountains the Apuan Alps which, for Fosco Maraini orientalist, writer, mountaineer, and anthropologist evoke 'the creation of the world'. In these places, in these mountains, if you say marble, you immediately think of water: marble was in fact formed from water millions of years ago, from deposits of shells and coral; it is water that smooths and shapes it, and water remains the key element in the working of this stone. Water, a symbol of perpetual movement, runs through Laura Veschi's photographs as a subtle, underlying presence, accompanying the creative process and the transformation of matter. This reference to the element is an integral part of Veschi's poetics. For the Carrara-based photographer, the 'sound' of water becomes the very voice of photography, an echo that follows the processes of creation and transformation of marble. Structured like a symphony in four movements, the book guides the reader along a path that moves from the mountain to the studio, from the raw block to the finished form, restoring the sacred, physical, and temporal dimension of marble. Along this journey, Laura introduces us to the sculptor Filippo Tincolini, following the continuous flow of his thought and gesture from the original idea to the completed sculpture. Laura, a deep connoisseur of the world of marble, captures the tension between what has settled over time and what is still being shaped, between the memory of the stone and the creative impulse that transforms it. Her images do not fix marble in a static idea, but reveal it in its flow, as though sculpture itself were part of an uninterrupted process in which the past is never entirely past and the future is already in the making. Art, like the river of Heraclitus, passes and at the same time remains; it changes form but does not lose its essence. And so, in marble, in its working, and in the photography that tells its story everything flows. Text in English, French and Italian. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This new monograph examines Italian artist Loris Cecchini's career, exploring his use of innovative materials to blur the lines between nature and artifice. Text in English and French.This monograph edited by Ilaria Bernardi is the first comprehensive examination of the oeuvre of the Italian artist Loris Cecchini, from his debut in the mid-1990s to the present. The publication coincides with the 30th anniversary of the artist's first inclusion in an exhibition: in three group shows in 1995. The book reviews Cecchini's solo and group exhibitions, providing information on awards, residencies and lectures, as well as extensive commentary on his most distinctive works. Alternating between photography, sculpture, drawing, digital processing and environmental installations, Cecchini's aim is to shape real space by means of innovative materials, focusing on how matter holds together and the aesthetic, architectural, organic, and structural processes associated with it. He has a particular interest in industrial materials such as rubber, resin and steel. His work explores the sense of the real, in a perspective suspended between the natural and the man-made that challenges the viewer's perception. This book reconstructs the trajectory of Cecchini's personal and creative life by interweaving biographical information, historical background and an ample selection of works, thus providing a unique contribution to the literature devoted to the artist.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The new headquarters of BFF symbolizes transparency and sustainability, reshaping the Milan skyline and providing a cultural centre for the whole city. Text in English and ItalianAn elegant photographic book highlights BFF's new headquarters. Viale Scarampo, in Milan, saw the inauguration in 2025 of the BFF Banking Group's new headquarters, a building whose transparent airiness and environmental and social sustainability ensure it provides an entirely original contribution to the city's skyline.

The book is organized in a series of alternating photographs and text, drawing attention not only to the architectural features and the building's functional characteristics, but also to the aim of creating a working environment that is intimately linked to its surroundings, in contrast to the traditional view of corporate architecture. Casa BFF is not only the headquarters of a B2B bank, it is also a building that embraces the neighborhood and the city as a whole, starting with the museum it houses, which is accessible to all and contains the BFF Collection of post-war Italian art. Here the visitor will find works by Valerio Adami, Franco Angeli, Enrico Baj, Alberto Burri, Lucio Del Pezzo, Lucio Fontana, Gianfranco Pardi, Mario Schifano, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Giò Pomodoro and Emilio Tadini.

The book does full justice to the exhibition spaces, as well as to the works that hang on the building's walls. Text in English and Italian.…
