The intimately melancholic drawings of Chilean-born, Düsseldorf-based artist Sandra Vásquez de la Horra (born 1967) are saturated in "artifactness," in the atmospheric fragility of fugitive ephemera. They are also saturated in a more literal sense, in a melted beeswax that, when hardened, embalms them in a yellow-brown laminate that further heightens their artifact feel. De la Horra's pencil drawing-documents usually consist of a single figure, often a hybrid creature of some kind, and a semi-explanatory motto or commentary; among her repertoire of themes are native religions, persecution, superstition, fairy tales and recollections of the Pinochet regime under which she was raised. Reminiscent of works by Munch, Louise Bourgeois and Herbert Pfostl, de la Horra's drawings can be found in important collections such as the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, the Morgan Library in New York and the Museum Kunst Palast in Düsseldorf. This is the first monograph on her work.

The complex oeuvre of the American artist Cy Twombly (1928–2011) comprises a time period of around six decades, during which it never lost any of its expressive power. Twombly was one of the most productive artists in the history of more recent art. Acclaimed as one of the most important painters of the second half of the twentieth century, he fused the legacy of American Abstract Expressionism with European and Mediterranean culture. 
The book focuses to a degree never before seen on his major cycles: Nine Discourses on Commodus (1963), Fifty Days at Iliam (1978), and Coronation of Sesostris (2000). The artist's development as a whole is traced based on nearly 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photographs. This thus provides unique insights into the overall intellectual and sensual richness of the oeuvre. From his early works at the beginning of the nineteen-fifties, which are characterized by the use of text, to his compositions of the nineteen-sixties, his reaction to the minimal art and conceptual art of the nineteen-seventies to his final paintings, the overview of the oeuvre underscores the significance of the series and cycles in which Cy Twombly invented history painting anew. 
With its polyphonic conception, the monograph offers numerous approaches with essays that shed light on the various aspects and phases of Twombly's path as an artist. It comprises et al. the reflections and personal impressions of other artists as well as the memories of his assistant Nicola Del Roscio. These diverse testimonies make it possible to discover Cy Twombly not only as an the artist, but also as an individual.
