Caroline Tisdall is one of the foremost experts on the artist Joseph Beuys, and this book represents both the culmination of thirty years of scholarship -- including fifteen years of close collaboration with the artist himself -- as well as the long awaited follow-up to her acclaimed monograph on Beuys for the 1979 Guggenheim retrospective she curated. The book's title refers to a phrase Beuys used repeatedly in his collaborations with Tisdall, and suggests a way forward through the often daunting complexity of Beuys's philosophy and art. Tisdall's formidable knowledge of her subject leads the reader through such diverse topics as Beuys's relationship to ecology, politics, shamanism, alchemy, botany, literature, economics, philosophy, and psychology. Tisdall's observations on Beuys's art reach a poetic simplicity rarely achieved in art criticism -- all the more remarkable given the multi-layered nature of this art. This book's text is complemented by more than 300 of Tisdall's own photographs, many of them previously unpublished.

In the summer of 1936, Agee and Evans set out on assignment for "Fortune" magazine to explore the daily lives of sharecroppers in the South. Their journey would prove an extraordinary collaboration and a watershed literary event when in 1941. "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" was first published to enormous critical acclaim. This unsparring record of place, of the people who shaped the land, and of the rhythm of their lives today stands as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century.

"Appointment: Sophie Calle & Sigmund Freud" is a unique assembly of Calle's own texts and personal objects juxtaposed with objects from Sigmund Freud's collection, still kept in the house where he lived. Featured here are fragments from the artist's own fascinating life story; these characteristic texts reveal intimate secrets, unraveling some of her childhood memories as well as her adult relationships. Calle's references to certain mementos and the emotionally charged events with which they are associated parallel Freud's own psychoanalytical theories and his passion for collecting. "Appointment" is a compelling and beautifully designed follow-up to Calle's "Double Game," right down to the satin ribbon page marker. 5.5 x 7.5 inches, 80 color illustrations. Author Quote: "...I was invited to create an exhibition entitled "Appointment" in the house at 20 Maresfield Gardens, London, where Dr. Freud lived, and died. After having a vision of my wedding dress laid across Freud's couch, I immediately accepted. I chose to display relics of my own life amongst the interior of Sigmund's home." -Sophie Calle
