Robert Indiana (1928-2018) was an American artist associated with the Pop Art movement. The American dream, the promise of freedom, happiness and material affluence is the basis of his creative work. Indiana’s eye-catching sign paintings are among the most radical expressions of Pop Art and take up the aesthetics of advertising and consumerism, building bold icons from numbers, letters and forms. This publication presents Indiana’s classic work in its full breadth on the basis of selected examples and provides evidence of the shining significance and enormous presence of his most famous work, ‘Love’, in his oeuvre.

America in black and white
'America in black and white' is the stunning early work of John G. Zimmerman, a true icon of American photography. His massive oeuvre gives a unique panorama of American life and culture in the second half of the twentieth century. This publication presents a selection of black-and-white pictures, shot between 1950 and 1978, which show the rough and uncut visual ingenuity of Zimmerman. Zimmerman was a man of many facets and his pictures cover a diversity of subjects, ranging from sports, fashion, arts and architecture to politics and the Jim Crow South of the 1950s. From producing whimsical ads to covering exclusive stories for mainstream magazines such as Life, Time, Sports Illustrated and Paris Match, from photographing the Beatles to shooting the disastrous fire at a General Motors plant. Zimmerman could do it all and did it ? always pushing the boundaries of the photographic medium. In his endless search for a new visual language and the essence of movement, he created whatever he needed to make the seemingly impossible possible. John G. Zimmerman was a refined chronicler, who wanted to depict every sphere of society, but above all wanted to see, to see more, to see it all.kunst

Architect – Structural Engineer
Rob Nijsse describes in his book 'Architect - Structural Engineer' 27 projects, like the Educatorium in Utrecht, the University Library of Utrecht and the Dutch Pavilion of the World Exhibition in Hannover. It contains sketches, both of the architects in question and of Rob Nijsse. They illustrate the 'birth' of projects. Added to these sketches is a description of each project as seen through the eyes of a structural engineer. 'Architect - Structural Engineer' is meant for everyone who is interested in the process of designing a building. It starts with describing the state of affairs in the building process nowadays. The last chapter is called 'The Ideal Building Process' and includes the condensed memories of Rob Nijsse on the art of building, based on his experiences in 40 years of building special buildings all over the world.kunst
The Grand Atelier
Long before its emergence as a political entity, Europe was distinguished by its intense traffic in goods and people. We too often forget that the trade routes and other navigable highways were trafficked at a very early stage by artists, works of art and rich patrons desirous of satisfying their appetite for beauty. Well-known and lesser known works offer an insight into this "European space for art and ideas" which already existed at the dawn of the Middle Ages. With its remarkable and often spectacular works, 'The Grand Atelier' illustrates various facets and many forms of this artistic interaction. The work covers a long period in the history of art, from the fifth century – the fall of the Roman Empire in the west – to the eighteenth century – the birth of the first great museums; calling on 350 works from well over a hundred European collections. The texts in the catalogue stem from the pens of several European luminaries in the history of art.kunst
