Stimulating and sensory abstract paintings showcase Jones's ongoing interest in the mouth as a central motif in her workRachel Jones (born 1991) is a London-based artist whose vivid palette and hatched-like lines created with oil pastels and oil sticks bring colors to their full intensity. Her approach to abstraction is centered around an investigation of readings of the Black body throughout history. Jones uses the abstracted forms of mouths or teeth as an indication of the body or of personhood.

Recent material experimentations from an acclaimed master of Neo-Expressionist figurative paintingPublished to accompany his 2023 exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris, this stunning clothbound catalog gathers five recent series of paintings by the acclaimed German artist Georg Baselitz (born 1938), best known for his Neo-Expressionist works that were hugely influential in redefining 20th-century figurative art. Realized between 2020 and 2021, the paintings are characterized by the artist's novel use of materials, including a new transfer method as well as the unprecedented integration of fabric into his works, both marking significant developments in Baselitz's technique. Building upon his legacy as an iconic and pioneering figure in early Neo-Expressionism, these new works create, both conceptually and materially, a distinctive universe where the logic of collage coalesces with painting. The inventive and materially rich works on canvas are accompanied by a group of ink drawings.

Longo's "historical constructions" of the Abstract Expressionist canonRobert Longo's (born 1953) newest series of monumental charcoal drawings pay homage to the European pioneers of postwar art. Following his 2014 series of drawings based on American Abstract Expressionism, in this volume and its accompanying exhibition Longo explores the work of Karel Appel, Jean Dubuffet, Arshile Gorky, Asger Jorn, Yves Klein, Willem de Kooning, Maria Lassnig, Piero Manzoni, Joan Mitchell, Pierre Soulages, Wols and Zao Wou-Ki. By revisiting their work in a contemporary context, Longo offers this new body of work as a "historical construction," highlighting the continued influence of these artists and finding a present-day resonance in their ability to transcend through their work the fraught circumstances of a radically changing world. The book features color reproductions, close-up details and essays.

New oil paintings and charcoal drawings fusing autobiographical reverie and histories of traumaRomanian-born, Berlin-based painter Adrian Ghenie (born 1977) merges art historical and contemporary cultural references--the art of Otto Dix and Philip Guston fused with the hybrid, monstrous aliens in the animated series Rick and Morty, for example. The Fear of Now follows this method, interrogating the intrusive influence of technology on everyday life while experimenting with technical processes that evoke both the heavily lined figures of Egon Schiele as well as the sensuality of the Baroque greats.This catalog presents this new body of oil paintings alongside their corresponding charcoal preparatory drawings. Contorted, amorphous self-portraits rendered in dusky pink, taupe, gray and blue share space with six large-scale paintings of Marilyn Monroe that reconceive Warhol's iconic silkscreen prints. An interview between the artist and curator Nicholas Cullinan also features.

Antony Gormley's latest works: abstract aluminum sculptures reflecting on the human bodyThis publication presents the latest works by British sculptor Antony Gormley (born 1950) at Galerie Thaddeus Ropac in 2020. Gormley's square aluminum tubing running the gallery's perimeter suggests the internal volumes of the human body.

Franco-Chinese painter Pei-Ming audaciously brings together paintings of popes, female nudes, and erotic scenes. These juxtapositions refer to a "date" between power, women, and painting. By bringing together these subjects, Pei-Ming reflects how image hierarchies have been abolished in our current age.

This catalog provides new scholarship on Italian sculptor Medardo Rosso (1858-1928) by focusing on his encounters with London and his legacy in contemporary sculpture.

British artist Oliver Beer (born 1985) explores the relationship between sound and space.This volume presents his exhibition at Galerie Thaddeus Ropac London, featuring his latest sculptural and performance work including The Resonance Project.

Focusing on American conceptual and minimal art in the Marzona Collection--one of the most significant collections in the world--Minimal Art presents key works from the collection by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Lee Lozano, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback and Richard Tuttle.

Best known for painting and recipient of the Venice Biennale's Grand Prize in 1960, Vedova also designed costumes and moving light sets for the opera and made large-scale glass engravings and light collages. This collection documents a selection of his work from the 1950s to today.

Asked about his use of the term "Spread," Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) responded that it meant "as far as I can make it stretch, and land (like a farmer's 'spread'), and also the stuff you put on toast." Prompted by an imminent retrospective of his work in 1976, Rauschenberg sourced motifs from his own past--tires, bedding, electric lights, bird wings, umbrellas and parachutes--and recombined them with textiles and printed media images in large-scale, quasi-architectural works. This fully illustrated catalog is the first devoted to Robert Rauschenberg's Spreads series (1975-83). It includes full-page reproductions of the artist's paintings and works on paper. In her essay, Elisa Schaar states: "Rather than a retrospective exercise, the Spreads is a series with visual and historical specificity in its own right, incorporating not only elements from Rauschenberg's earlier work, but also reflecting changes in his life, his practice and in contemporary art at the time."

Spanning 1983-1989, this second catalogue raisonnZ on iconic German neo-expressionist painter Baselitz's graphic work complements the out-of-print two-volume set released in 1983 featuring the artist's woodcuts, linocuts, and etchings from 1963 to 1982.1982.

Rauschenberg's luminously palimpsestic "metal paintings" evocatively combine the material processes of photography and artThis publication is entirely dedicated to Robert Rauschenberg's (1925-2008) Phantoms and Night Shades, made in 1991 and widely considered to be the artist's most experimental series. In the Night Shades, photographs by the artist are silkscreened onto aluminum panels that have been treated with a corrosive varnish, revealing and concealing evanescent images. In the Phantoms, photographs are silkscreened onto a mirrored surface. In these ethereal works, Rauschenberg alludes to his artistic past by conjuring the palimpsestic actions of memory. This publication includes an essay by the American painter David Salle. The plates are accompanied by source images by the artist.

On the master abstractionist's debut show at Thaddeus RopacThis book documents Thaddeus Ropac gallery's first exhibition of Sean Scully (born 1945), which includes his most recent works, notably the Mirroring series.
