“Choir of Poems” is the latest proof of Jim Dine’s irrepressible commitment to making art beyond artistic labels. Presenting paintings, drawings, sculptures—as well as compelling hybrid forms—this book shows Dine’s passion for eclectic materiality while exploring his inner landscapes. As much as he is dedicated to the now—the moment of creation, of process—Dine’s work today is often a dialogue with the past. Take for example the three works central to “Choir of Poems,” each a conversation with a different, dear person from Dine’s past, loved ones now gone. Chairs stand before these expansive paintings as integrated sculptural elements, while metal pipes spring from the paint’s relief-like surface (itself rejecting mere two-dimensionality)—creating a new imposing form of painting-sculpture. Confessional texts in Dine’s unmistakable sprawling hand give insight into these works as well as other inventive series like “49 Views on the North Crescent,” based on accident. Here Dine spontaneously drew plants and tools onto aluminum printing plates he had already prepared for lithographs; while a monumental bronze sculpture of a hammer deepens his ongoing fascination with tools: their forms, their materials, and the imagination they unlock within the artist. Seen together, Dine’s choir is a vast self-portrait composed of individual voices, each an expression of his endlessly curious mind, hands and heart.
The exhibition “Choir of Poems” is currently on view at Kunsthaus Göttingen until 28 August 2026.

Jeremiah Dine’s “Anne-Marie” is a visual document of Dine’s relationship with his wife over 40 years. It explores their shared passion for one another, for the world around them, and their distinct visions as fellow artists. What happens to two people who shape their life together over the course of four decades? How does one’s view of a loved one change and deepen over so long a time? “The images in 'Anne-Marie' involve not just one camera, one face and body, one pair of eyes,” writes Francine Prose in her introduction, “but two consciousness merged to make something that didn’t exist before, and that only existed at that one moment in time.” Created using a combination of 35mm and 120mm film, black-and-white and color, digital, Polaroid, iPhone, disposable camera, manipulated and traditional techniques, this book is a kaleidoscopic, compelling statement on how photographing someone is a means to understand yourself. It is both a portrait and a self-portrait of the duality of a long-term relationship.

Alexander Pechmanns illustre und von Paloma Tarrío Alves wunderschön illustrierte »Bibliothek der verlorenen Seelen« ist denjenigen Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftstellern gewidmet, die es wagten, Gespenstergeschichten zur Kunstform zu erheben. Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Ann Radcliffe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Shirley Jackson, H.P. Lovecraft und viele mehr konnten sich dem Reiz des Unheimlichen nicht entziehen und ließen Weltliteratur entstehen. Ihre Spukgestalten stehen in einer langen Tradition: von den Dämonen des Gilgamesch-Epos bis zu Gustav Meyrinks Golem. Doch bei genauem Hinsehen stellen Geister sich oft als Verarbeitung persönlicher Schicksalsschläge oder Begegnungen mit dem Unerklärlichen heraus. Ausgeburten der Fantasie mögen sie sein, doch stellen sie gleichzeitig die immerwährende Frage: Was erwartet uns nach dem Ende des Lebens? Jetzt im Buchhandel und hier: /2mch9h25

“Catalogue Raisonné. Prints 1972–2024” offers a complete survey of 50 years of Richard Serra’s graphic work—including lithographs, screen-prints and etchings—and situates it in the broader context of his artistic practice.
Richard Serra began making prints as early as 1972. For the past five decades he has consistently pursued the myriad possibilities of printmaking and created a graphic œuvre as concentrated as it is rich and diverse. Even if the relationship between Serra’s prints and his sculptural works cannot be denied—the exploration of form, establishing and testing the tension between positive and negative space, the dialogue between two- and three-dimensionality—the prints are an autonomous form of expression with their own themes and creative approaches, such as his innovative use of oil-stick ink to create a surface that both absorbs and reflects light.

»Wilde Häuser« von Colin Barrett
Es ist das wichtigste Wochenende des Jahres. Während sich Ballina im Westen Irlands auf ein großes Fest vorbereitet, verschwindet Doll English nach einem Streit mit seiner Freundin Nicky spurlos von einer Party. Sketch und Gabe Ferdia, Kleinstadt-Gauner mit einem Hang zu roher Gewalt, haben den Jugendlichen entführt. Dessen älterer Bruder, der örtliche Dealer Cillian hat seine Schulden nicht bezahlt. Ihr Cousin Dev scheint den Ferdias der ideale Gastgeber für die Geiselnahme zu sein, denn der sanftmütige Riese führt in ländlicher Abgeschiedenheit ein Leben unter dem Radar. Dev wird zum unfreiwilligen Komplizen, doch ausgerechnet er, die personifizierte Untätigkeit, ist Dolls beste Chance zu überleben. Auch Nicky wird in den Rachefeldzug hineingezogen. Verkatert und voller dunkler Vorahnungen macht sie sich auf die Suche nach ihrem Freund. Wie Dev muss sie, um Doll zu retten, eine Entscheidung treffen.Ein Roman »so beißend, witzig und bittersüß wie das Leben«, so die Jury des Booker-Preises. Übersetzt von @claudiaglenewinkel und Hans-Christian Oeser. Jetzt im Buchhandel und auf steidl.de.

“Cy Twombly“
Horst P. Horst (1906–99) possessed a deep understanding of architecture, having studied it in Hamburg and apprenticed with Le Corbusier in Paris. Horst later designed his own house on Long Island, and from the 1960s to the ’80s he photographed the luxurious homes of style icons throughout the world. One of the most striking of these shoots took place in 1966 at the Roman palazzo of seminal artist Cy Twombly. The home that Twombly and his wife Tatiana Franchetti created on Via di Monserrato was a seamless blend of art and life, and Horst deftly captured its atmosphere of raw elegance: some rooms appear starkly empty, while others are inhabited by antique furniture and classical sculpture, the figures from the myths that inspired Twombly.
The generous proportions of the palazzo suited the large scale of Twombly’s paintings, which he liked to move from one lofty room to another. Horst also photographed Twombly’s dandyish manner of dress: the velour hats, the handwoven tweeds and the World War I greatcoat worn while posing by his gleaming 1928 Alfa Romeo. Including many previously unseen photographs from Horst’s archive, “Cy Twombly“ offers an intimate insight into the home of a largely private artist, and will appeal to fans of Twombly and interior design aficionados alike.

Politische Philosophie des Gemeinsinns Band 4:
Das Erbe des Marxismus: Revolutionäre Theorie, Legitimationswissenschaft, Krise und Erneuerung
Oskar Negts Beschäftigung mit Karl Marx und dem Marxismus reicht weit in seine Studienzeit in Frankfurt zurück. In den 1950er Jahren ging es darum, die durch den Nationalsozialismus zerstörte marxistische Tradition aus dem geschichtlichen Schutt zu bergen und sie zugleich aus jenen weltanschaulichen Fesseln zu lösen, die, wie Negt es später klassisch formulieren wird, eine kritische Theorie in eine Legitimationswissenschaft verkehrten. Neben Material aus zwei Vorlesungsreihen vom Ende der 1970er Jahre bietet der Band unveröffentlichte Manuskripte sowie einige klassische, aber verstreut publizierte Schriften von Negt zum Themenfeld »Marx und Marxismus«. Mit einem Nachwort von Hendrik Wallat. Jetzt im Buchhandel und auf steidl.de.

»Mensch, was haben wir alles hinter uns«, schrieb Erich Loest im November 1983 an seinen Schriftstellerkollegen Bernd Jentzsch. Als Schriftsteller und in seinen Briefen war Loest stets Chronist seiner unruhigen Zeit: Kriegsdienst und die Nachkriegswirren, seine Arbeit als Journalist, der 17. Juni 1953, die mehrjährige Haft im Stasi-Zuchthaus Bautzen II, der Neubeginn als Schriftsteller in der DDR, seine Ausreise in die Bundesrepublik 1981 und die Friedliche Revolution, die von seiner Heimatstadt Leipzig ausging und in die Loest 1998 zurückkehrte. Anlässlich des 100. Geburtstags von Erich Loest ist jetzt der Briefwechsel »›Mensch, was haben wir alles hinter uns‹. Briefe 1953–2013« erschienen, der rund 500 Briefe von und an den Schriftsteller aus seinem Nachlass sowie ergänzende Texte und Kommentierungen versammelt und Einblick in Loests einzigartigen Lebensweg durch das 20. Jahrhundert bietet. Erstmals publiziert wird hier auch eine Auswahl der Briefe, die Erich Loest während der siebenjährigen Haft im Stasi-Zuchthaus Bautzen II an seine Familie geschrieben hat. Herausgegeben von Thomas Mayer. Jetzt im Buchhandel und auf steidl.de.

“Free Air. Robert Frank – Hands at Work” by Clark Winter
Since 1973 Robert Frank’s Bleecker Street studio and home was the crucible of his creativity. Yet just as important (and for even longer) was the weather-beaten fisherman’s cottage he bought in 1969 with his wife, artist June Leaf, in Mabou, Nova Scotia. Here they spent much of the year for the following half-century: working, reflecting and quietly integrating with the local community. Frank the photographer is revered for his eyes’ ability to explore and record the world with unprecedented understanding, compassion and empathy. Less known is the remarkable work he made with his hands—in many ways Frank was a sculptor using found objects, old photographs and the camera as just some of his tools.
In the first part of this book, “Land,” Clark Winter captures the energy of the Cape Breton landscape and documents Frank’s hands as they consider possibilities: contemplating a contact sheet, magnifying glass in hand, warmed by the wood-fired cast-iron stove. The second series “Tables” shows found objects dancing and mingling on tabletops. Finally, “Boxes” takes us to the boxes containing Frank’s photographs and films at Bleecker Street. Seen together, Winter’s photographs reveal yet unknown facets of a creative mind ever fearlessly at work.
