•The ultimate guide to the life and work of the last Mexican surrealist, creator of the infamous 'Hand Chair'•Never-before-seen hypnotic and dazzling images•World renowned cultural authorities, like Leonora Carrington and Fernando del Paso, grace the pages of this unique bookPedro Friedeberg, one of the most outstanding contemporary Mexican artists, is virtually impossible to pinpoint. Whether because of the almost baroque density of his images, his multiple mediums of expression (painting, sculpting, serigraphy, furniture making), his vast range of favored genres (landscapes, still life, pure abstraction, architectural drawing) or his production styles (art nouveau, surrealism, and pop art), he is a challenge for any one book to represent. This new publication endeavors to do him justice though, relishing in the complexities of his oeuvre. A key part of understanding the man behind the art comes from his own personal encyclopedia, which travels through the Cabala, the work of architect Francesco Borromini, heraldry, religious motifs, and insect art - to name but a few.Friedeberg has displayed his art at over 100 solo exhibitions and close to 120 collective expos, in the top museums and galleries of Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, United States, Japan, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Spain and former Yugoslavia. Known for his surrealist work, his most recognizable piece is the Hand-Chair: a sculpture/chair designed for people to sit on the palm, using the fingers as back and arm rests. Friedeberg began studying as an architect, but did not complete his studies as he began to draw designs that disturbed the conventional forms of the 1950s - from the mildly ludicrous to the completely implausible, such as houses with artichoke roofs. However, his work caught the attention of artist Mathias Goeritz who encouraged him to change to a profession where his imagination and unique worldview could by fully realized. Friedeberg became part of a group of surrealist artists in Mexico, which included Leonora Carrington and Alice Rahon: irreverent men and women who rejected the dominant hegemony of sociopolitical art. If Friedeberg's most infamous statement is true, and art is dead because nothing new is being produced, then his startling work must be a resurrection.Text in English and Spanish.

"What came to mind when looking at Christophe von Hohenberg's book was... loved the scrapbook format and thought it was by far the best way to show photographs and the life of the photographer." Etheleen Staley - Staley-Wise Gallery
The 1970s and 80s in New York were a dazzling age. Since the 1920s in Paris, the world had not seen such a cultural movement. Von Hohenberg lived and photographed this period, when the giants of fashion, art and society rubbed elbows with drag queens and addicts in clubs like the legendary Studio 54. This historic "time capsule" contains portraits of personalities like Allen Ginsberg, Julian Schnabel and Cornelia Guest, Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Britney Spears, to name just a few. Some are no longer with us, and some reign as icons of the century. With texts and handwritten letters from acclaimed American writers like Jay McInerney, Candace Bushnell, Anthony Haden-Guest, Michael Gross, and Bob Colacello

 "The unrestrained ostentation of a young culture that comes from a social class that is also the repository of the fears, prejudices and frustrations of the middle and upper classes." Leticia Saucedo They wear white Converse sneakers and brilliantly-hued Hawaiian shirts printed with religious images (mainly, the Virgin of Guadalupe and San Judas Tadeo); their accessories, handkerchiefs, caps, and scapulars hanging around their necks to distinguish where they belong and who they are, which is their message to the world. Amanda Watkins collection of portraits from the community of Cholombians in Monterrey is more than the evidence of the growing violence that has stricken the country in recent years and the many ways youth is responding to it. It s about cultural migration on the border cities: how it can be so rich and colorful in contrast with the poverty, marginalisation, and disenchantment of an urban concrete environment. With brief descriptions that take us to a hot night in downtown Monterrey with cumbia music softly playing on a far away radio station, these "photo albums" demand to be seen and recognized, as Cholombians themselves, too. Text in English and Spanish. Mas de 150 fotos, entrevistas y ensMas de 150 fotos, entrevistas y ensayos para conocer a una cultura propia dentro de Monterrey, caracterizada por su forma de vestir y sus gustos musicales, por su marginalidad y estilo. Desde finales de los sesenta, Monterrey se ha ido convertido en el recipiente de sonidos provenientes de diversos ritmos de Colombia, principalmente cumbia y vallenato. De ahi surgio una cultura urbana derivada de la rica tradicion sonidera en Monterrey: la colombia. Ser colombia es una identidad que ostentan principalmente los jovenes de los barrios populares de la ciudad. Los regio-colombianos, cholombianos o colombias son una combinacion de los clasicos cholos mexicanos con gustos musicales por la cumbia colombiana. Ellos definen su estilo como punk tropical. Sus atuendos son tenis Converse blancos, camisas tipo hawaiano de colores intensos con estampados de flores y palmeras. Usan tambien imagenes religiosas (el escapulario, la Virgen de Guadalupe y San Judas Tadeo) y algunas veces sus atuendos hacen referencia a la violencia creciente que se vive en todo el pais desde hace anos. Se cuelgan tambien letreros hechos a mano o tejidos con sus sobrenombres, barrios y a veces imagenes.
