During the summer of 1981 in New York, pop artist Andy Warhol and photographer Christopher Makos visited an elegant wig shop on 57th Street and purchased seven of them. Their goal was to make a project they called "Altered Image", a long series of portraits in which Andy Warhol is the model and the transgressive genre of the 1980s clashes with the spirit of Man Ray's project titled "Rrose Sélavy" in which he photographed Marcel Duchamp dressed as a Parisian lady in the 1920s. Lady Warhol offers over 100 black-and-white photographs, more than 100 portraits that cover various poses, focuses and shots (detailed, "American", half body and side, as in a Roman bust). The Pop Art icon's body and subtle gestures condition a series characterised by the model's extensive body language, which highlights his evident need to express himself in public.

In a year when Spanish curators directed the Venice Biennale for the first time, Antoni Muntadas, representing Spain in the Spanish pavilion, told a reporter that the Biennale takes its ideas from international fairs. It connotes the theme park. There was exoticism, invention, the new... but by now it is an obsolete structure. Muntadas's On Translation: I Giardini, the latest in a series of often site-specific On Translation projects completed over the last 10 years, is here documented from its inception. Translation is a metaphor, as Muntadas states, I am not talking about translation in a literal sense, but in a cultural sense--how the world we live in is a totally translated world, everything is always filtered by some social, political, cultural and economic factor... by the media, of course, by context and by history. Accordingly, I Giardini looks into the context and history of the Biennale's Giardini del Castello, delving into the transformations and translations it has undergone over time, and investigating Venice's status and the space that frames the Biennale. Muntadas notes, for instance, that a new Italian pavilion built on Mussolini's orders was replaced again after the war.

Madrid's annual PHotoEspaña is a visual deluge of some 60 thematically curated photography exhibitions featuring works by an international array of historical, established and emerging artists such as Dorothea Lange, Gerhard Richter and Walid Raad. This is the catalogue for 2009.

Joan Hernández Pijuan's contribution to the Matador Artist's Portfolio series is comprised of 17 beautiful watercolors superbly reproduced on heavy, folded card stock in a large format (11.5 x 15.75 inches). Executed with a broad brush in crimson and black on beige paper, Pijuan's delicate paintings evoke the sensual simplicity of Raoul de Keyser and the angularities of Al Taylor.
