"Robert Frank: The Americans" by Robert Frank
Previously published in 1959, Frank's most famous and influential photography book contained a series of deceptively simple photos that he took on a trip through America in 1955 and 1956. These pictures of everyday people still speak to us today, 40 years and several generations later.

"Yves Peintures / Yves Paintings", Yves Klein
In May 1954, in Madrid, Yves Klein published a very few copies of the "Yves Peintures (Yves Paintings)". This collection of monochrome plates, today so rare that it becomes mythical, is carried out and printed by the engraving workshop of Fernando de Sarabia in Madrid. The preface, signed by Pascal Claude, is made of black lines instead of the text. The 10 plates in colour are made of self-coloured rectangles cut up in paper, coming with the dimensions in millimeters. Each plate shows a different place of creation, Madrid, Nice, Tokyo, Paris.

"Frank Lloyd Wright" by Daniel Treiber
Frank Lloyd Wright(1867-1959) exercised a shaping influence on architectural history throughout the world as only very few other architects beside him have done. His structures - developed from landscape, program, material, and construction - are highly individual and independent of the stylistic developments of modern architecture. His constant attempts to invent new things gave rise to the idiosyncratic forms and constructions that are typical of his work.

"Au treizième coup de minuit", with one original engraving signed by Desmond Morris
English surrealist poetry desserves our best attention for its febrility and authenticity. Haunted by the preparations for the Second World War, and then by the war itself, it is a survivor of hard times. With its attitude to question again and again and to challenge the consistency of things, works and events, with its acceptance of the unique and the evanescent, it shows, as from 1936, the persistence of the "surrealist spirit".

"El Greco to Velazquez" by Ronni Baer
Philip III (1578-1621), so often dismissed in favor of Philip II and Philip IV, actually presided over an era of crucial artistic development in Spain. His reign was a time of cultural and political vitality for the Spanish monarchy, as the king and his court, having successfully maintained a peaceful foreign policy in Europe (the "Pax Hispanica"), ushered in a style of grandeur where fabulous gala celebrations, building campaigns, picture collecting, recreation and travel were the order of the day.
