<ul><li>Accompanied an exhibition at the Mauritshuis in 2015, with thirty-six masterpieces from the Frick Collection in New York.</li></ul>
This catalogue of 36 masterpieces from the Frick Collection in New York accompanied a show at the Mauritshuis (the Netherlands) in 2015. Featured here are masterpieces dating from the 13th to the 19th centuries, with paintings by artists such as Cimabue, Memling, Constable, Reynolds and Ingres, but also drawings, sculpture and applied art. 
All the works are beautifully depicted and described in lively texts that offer insight into their meaning and showcase the quality of the collection. An introductory essay describes how the art-loving steel magnate Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919) amassed his fortune, how his collection arose and how the museum managed and expanded his legacy. In a second essay, light is shed on the history of how art collecting came to captivate the wealthiest Americans during the Gilded Age, when spectacular collections were being acquired with fortunes made by America's industrial magnates.

<li>Twenty-seven fascinating self-portraits by 17th century Dutch painters from an exhibition at the Mauritshuis (The Hague) in 2015</li>
<li>Stunning examples of a genre that was immensely popular, more so than in any other country</li>
</ul>
This richly illustrated catalogue for an exhibition at the Mauritshuis in 2015 features 27 outstanding examples of self-portraits created during the Dutch Golden Age. It includes work by Judith Leyster, Jan Steen, Rembrandt, Carel Fabritius and Gerrit Dou, among others. The text explores the role of the self-portrait in 17th century Dutch Art, examining how self-portraits showcase the artist's ability and expertise, why they were so popular in the social and economic milieu of the time, and who they were created for. The large number of self-portraits painted during this period can be linked to the increase in painting production. The competition was fierce, so painters needed to generate a prominent position in the market: the self-portrait gave artists and their work a recognizable identity. The self-portrait was, therefore, not only a portrait of the painter, but also a statement for prospective clients about the particular talents of each artist.

• For the first time in book form, presenting history-pieces by Jan Steen • 17th century paintings from the Dutch Golden Age • Contributions by Ariane van Suchtelen, Wouter Kloek and Mariët Westermann Jan Steen, one of the most popular painters of the Dutch Golden Age, is known for his humorous depictions of dissolute households, tavern interiors, quacksalvers and love-sick young women. He was unrivalled in poking fun at every conceivable human weakness and vice. A lesser known fact is that he also painted history pieces: scenes based on episodes from the Bible, apocryphal writings and mythology - stories full of excitement, drama and passion. As he did in his genre pieces, Steen devoted a great deal of attention in his history paintings to the interaction between the figures, and was keenly aware of the satirical possibilities of every story. In contrast to what his later image suggests, Jan Steen was a versatile and ambitious artist with a profound knowledge of art history and literature: knowledge that comes to the fore in his history pieces. This richly illustrated publication, written by experts on Jan Steen, focuses on this little-known part of the artist's oeuvre. Contents: Introduction followed by three essays on Jan Steen's history pieces, followed by a catalogue that discusses a selection of the most important paintings of biblical and mythological subjects. The book will be published to accompany the eponymous exhibition at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, the Netherlands.

• A history of 400 years of Dutch ceramics, from the famous Delft, past the colourful Maastricht pottery and the flamboyant Art Nouveau, to the latest Dutch design creationsBlue Delft, Maastricht earthenware, Gouda pottery and Dutch Design: for centuries, ceramics from the Netherlands have enjoyed worldwide popularity. Imitation has been one key to success, but inventiveness and sensitivity to consumer demand have been still more important.Initially an imitation of Chinese porcelain, Dutch delftware became in the 17th century a popular export product in its own right. Petrus Regout brought English specialists to Maastricht to help him imitate the popular British creamware with its transfer-printed designs. From the mid-19th century, he was one of the greatest producers, serving a global market.Around 1900, Dutch designers developed their own variant of international art nouveau. Shown at the world's fairs of the period, their innovative 'vernieuwingsaardewerk' attracted lively interest outside the Netherlands.In today's Dutch Design, the marriage of traditional craft skills to the potential of new industrial technology generates inventive and playful designs. Products travel the world, but so do the designers and their conceptual approach. Made in Holland shows how the Netherlands has become a world player in the ceramics field. Text in English and Dutch.

Most people are familiar with the imposing bronze statue in Rotterdam's city center. Known as The Destroyed City, it is considered worldwide to be one of the most impressive monuments to the victims of World War II. It is so well known that, unusually for a statue on a public space, many people even know the name of its creator: Zadkine. But who was Zadkine? And what else did he do? This book provides a comprehensive overview of the work of this Parisian master of modernism, who, with his fellow artists like Picasso, Brancusi, and Lipchitz, transformed the face of Western sculpture forever. Zadkine's capacity for continually reinventing himself and developing new forms and shapes in response to the changing world around him marks him out as one of the greatest artists of his day. The book focuses particularly on Zadkine's bond with the Netherlands, where his collectors and those who commissioned his work often counted as his friends. Text in English and Dutch.

- A study of non-heterosexuality in art over the last five decades- Examines the work of approximately 140 artists from EuropeFifty years ago, in 1969, non-heterosexual residents of Amsterdam and New York took to the streets to campaign for their sexual, social, and legal rights. That year marked the start of the development of gay rights all over the world, which in many countries has now culminated in the introduction of same-sex marriage. Since the 1960s, artists all over the world have regularly taken homosexuality as the subject of their work, in a range of different ways. Queer in Art is the first book to place the development of this art in a broad European context. The book focuses on male homosexuality and queer performances, and offers a chronological look at the past five decades. Text in English and Dutch.
