The Swiss National Museum's permanent collection reflects Switzerland's history from pre-historic times until the present day. Each object also represents the location where it was found or made; the people who made or used it; a trade or profession; a personal or regional identity. Published to coincide with the opening of the new extension of the Landesmuseum in Zurich, Swiss National Museum's oldest and largest site, 26 Things features as many highlights from its collection, one from each of Switzerland's cantons. The selection ranges from a Celtic gold bowl from ca. 1500 BC (Zurich) to a miniature electro motor that propelled NASA's Mars rover Spirit in 2004 (Obwalden). It includes Switzerland's first snow gun of 1978 (Grisons) as well as a medieval Madonna sculpture (Valais) or a clock made in 1796 that once belonged to Napoleon (Neuchatel). The beautifully designed small book offers a varied Swiss panorama, taking the reader all around the country's twenty-six cantons, each with its own history and cultural identity.

Portraits of Kaunas and Vilnius Jewish Ghetto Survivors, published to accompany the exhibition Antanas Sutkus: In Memoriam. This is one of the artist's last significant works dedicated to the Lithuanian people, poignantly culminating his life-long survey, People of Lithuania, which began in 1976. Rooted in the classical European documentary tradition of humanist photography (Cartier-Bresson, Kertesz, Izis, Brassai), that project's black and white portraits of ordinary people in their everyday life stood in opposition to the model citizens and workers imagery then promoted by Soviet propaganda, and Sutkus is said to have also drawn inspiration from writers such as Kafka, Sartre and Faulkner, and filmmakers such as Fellini and Bunuel. In 1988 the artist began to photograph the Kaunas Jews who had escaped death in concentration camps. He learned about the mass killing of Jews by Nazis during WWII from his grandparents and felt deeply moved by the humiliation, tragic fate and mass destruction of human life in his homeland. Gradually personal relationships were formed between the photographer and his portrait subjects, mixed with feelings of shame and guilt for what happened behind the Vilijampole ghetto gates and the 9th fort - then known as "Enterprise 1.005B" - between 1941 and 1944. As far back as the time of Lithuania's Grand Duke Gediminas (1275-1341), who invited traders and artisans to come to Lithuania from various European states, the Jews were promised protection and support. During the following six hundred years the Jews took root in Lithuanian soil through their works and prayers, printing shops and synagogues, libraries and gymnasiums, songs and legend. That vibrant branch of Lithuania's history and culture was abruptly ended when 200,000 men, women and children were shot dead and thrown into pits at forest edges, into quarries and death camps.

Le lettere de Le notti fiorentine sono la versione francese di lettere che tra il giugno e il luglio del 1922 la Cvetaeva scrisse ad Abram Grigor’evic Visniak, proprietario della casa editrice Gelikon editore delle raccolte cvetaviane Separazione e Mestiere. Più di dieci anni dopo la Cvetaeva ritornò a quelle lettere dapprima trascrivendole su un suo quaderno, aggiungendovi note e appunti a margine, in seguito le tradusse in francese e scrisse ex novo la Postfazione (ovvero postuma faccia delle cose).

Up to his untimely death in 2006 at 41, Jason Rhoades carried out a continuous assault on aesthetic conventions and the rules governing the art world wryly subverting those very conditions by using them as materials for his work. In 2002, Rhoades introduced the world to his PeaRoeFoam, a brand new product and revolutionary new material created from whole green peas, fish-bait style salmon eggs, and white virgin-beaded foam. When combined with non-toxic glue, they transform into a versatile, fast-drying, and ultimately hard material that he intended for both utilitarian as well as artistic uses his detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied do it yourself kits complete with everything needed to make PeaRoeFoam. This seminal publication is the first to examine and situate the PeaRoeFoam project within Rhoadess career and to acknowledge it's importance within the framework of his practice. Much like the exhibition it accompanies, which presents many of the individual components for the first time since their original installations, the book discusses and reproduces those initial presentations in depth, and includes an abundance of archival documents and photographs, installation views of all three shows, as well as the artists diagrams and drawings related to their creation. The publication also features a personal and revealing essay by David Zwirner, who began showing Rhoadess work in the early 1990s, new scholarship by Julien Bismuth, and selected interviews from the Jason Rhoades Oral History project, conceived by Lucas Zwirner and Dylan Kenny, who have interviewed over fifty artists, curators, friends, collaborators, art historians, and others who intimately knew the artist including curator and art historian Linda Norden.

The art of the Japanese tattoo has fascinated people across the world for decades, but in Japan they are taboo since traditional full body tattoos are associated with the Japanese mafia - the Yakuza. Few organizations are as feared as the legendary Yakuza. They have an impact well beyond Japan, in real life as well as in popular fiction. Yakuza Tattoo offers a unique insight into the dragons, fish and gods that form the visual identity of the Yakuza. While the motifs are inspired by the structure of the organization, Japanese history and mythology, younger members tend to add a contemporary touch to their body art. Andreas Johansson is an academic and one of a small number of persons that have been allowed to photograph and interview members of one of the world's most secretive organizations. The book includes detailed images of widely different Yakuza tattoos. Right in the middle of a gang war, Johansson frequented the shady nightclubs, bars, restaurants and back streets of Yokohama in the company of a Yakuza boss. He also visited the homes of members of the Yakuza, documenting Yakuza symbols and body art.
