| Dear Schirmer/Moselites!
 In
times when global crisis requires international cooperation in economics and politics, artists often act as spearheads bridging
continents and artforms. Schirmer/Mosel's fall 2010 program gives vivid proof of it.
In his forthcoming publication, Dutch director and photographer Anton
Corbijn documents the making of his suspense thriller
The American starring
Hollywood actor George Glooney. German photographer Candida Höfer, known for her stunning pictures of public interiors,
introduces her first all-American projects, historic institutions in
Philadelphia.
Cy Twombly, wandering between the two worlds of Lexington, Virginia, and
Italy since the 1950s, presents his long-awaited first volume of his fabulous
Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings and
Sketchbooks. Vol I featuring his early work. As a kind of cameo, he adds a little book with his enthralling seris
of tulip photographs.
Bernd and Hilla Becher explore architectural similarities and differences in
Coal Mines and Steel Mills
across Europe and the US.
Thirty years after his legendary and much-disputed solo exhibition at the
New York Guggenheim and almost 25 years after his death, the complex interrelations of Joseph Beuys' creative practice,
teachings, and ecologic activism are explored in a huge retrospective volume
Parallel processes.
I invite you to joyfully join our journey across continents and the world of
art with our beautiful and mind-stretching Schirmer/Mosel books.
Best regards,
Lothar Schirmer
