Gimmick!

Devotional and tranquil, the art of Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) celebrates the virtues of patience, serenity and modesty. Many of Morandi’s still lifes, landscapes and flowers are based on earlier compositions that he continually revisited, often across media (painting, watercolor, etching). This handsome overview beautifully elucidates the artist’s humble repertoire of themes, showing (when possible) where they originated, and how they were reprised across the course of his career. The careful selection of works, derived from some of Europe’s most prestigious institutions, museums and private collections and including some rarely or never-before seen works, are augmented by Jean-Michel Folon’s little-seen series of photographs from Morandi’s studio taken in 1977; texts by legendary poet Yves Bonnefoy, Joost Zwagerman and Francesco Galluzzi; and a section on Morandi’s influence. The artist’s heroic questing for purity have won him many fans: in film, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Robert Aldrich and Luca Guadagnino; in literature, Paul Auster, Don DeLillo and Siri Hustvedt; and in contemporary art, Lawrence Carroll, Tacita Dean and Luc Tuymans. Works by all of these Morandi admirers are included here. The book is edited by Morandi specialist Maria Cristina Bandera, head of the Fondazione Roberto Longhi in Florence.

Architecture and perspective are the common denominators in the oeuvre of Hans Vandekerckhove. Gimme Shelter illustrates 90 of his paintings. Both at home and abroad, Hans Vandekerckhove has been a big name in the art world for quite some time. He has had (solo) expositions in the SMAK museum in Ghent, and the Mu.Zee museum in Ostend, as well as in Amsterdam, Madrid and Frankfurt. In Gimme Shelter, Hans has compiled all of his work, which originated from his passion for architecture, ranging from the archetypes from his youth, when he had a studio in his uncle's greenhouse, modern architecture by Mies van de Rohe, and the buildings by Peter Zumthor, to the need of a 'home', as a breeding ground for inspiration. Text in English and Dutch.
