Famous at the age of 23 for her fur-covered teacup, Meret Oppenheim numbered Man Ray, Alberto Giacometti, Max Ernst and Andre Breton among her friends and admirers. In subsequent years she suffered from critical neglect, and her subversive work has only recently begun to receive the acclaim it deserves.

This landmark volume examines the life and work of the extraordinary Swiss Surrealist Meret Oppenheim. Although she became famous at the age of 23 for her fur-covered teacup, she subsequently suffered years of critical neglect, and her subversive work has only recently begun to receive the acclaim it deserves. This beautiful catalogue covers the full range of her art, embracing sculpture, painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, photography, fashion and jewelry design, and a selection of Oppenheim's poems. Now available to the trade in a paperback edition.

In 1996 Mateja Vehovar and Stefan Jauslin formed their own architectural office in Zurich after studying at the Columbia University New York and the ETH in Zurich respectively. Clearly marked by an interdisciplinary approach, their work revolves around landscape architecture, exhibition design, room installations, as well as architectural projects. In their work space is used as a medium to bring about specific experiences and feelings in the users. In 1999, Vehovar & Jauslin were awarded the Swiss Federal Prize for art. This publication documents 16 selected works, placing them in the context of experimental design.

Shirana Shahbazi frequented the Conference and Education Center of a Swiss Re Insurance building over a period of 12 months. The resulting montage of photography and classical painting genres cultivates an associative trip through portrait, landscape, still life and history painting. What emerges depends partly on your eye's liability.

Shirana Shahbazi: Risk Is Our Business

Walther König, Köln

This publication presents an overview of the work of the Swiss artist duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann (L/B), who have been collaborating since 1993 and have regularly exhibited in biennials, museums and art venues around the world. Their work can be described as riding on the edge of art, architecture and design. Designed by the Zurich-based design firm Norm, this volume divides L/B's work into seven thematic groups by chapter: Mobile (containing movable objects, among them the one-room hotel "Everland"), Comfort (inflatable objects), Perfect (modular objects), Surface (sharp-edged paintings), Flat (wall paintings), Space (stage objects) and Field (interventions in the real world). Each thematic chapter is introduced by a noted writer; they include, in order, Marc-Olivier Wahler, Philip Ursprung, Giovanni Carmine, Jacqueline Burckhardt, Diedrich Diederichsen, Gianni Jetzer and Rein Wolfs.
