Cy Twombly (1928-2011) hat neben seinen Zeichnungen, Gemälden, Skulpturen und Photographien, für die er mittlerweile weltberühmt ist, auch ein stattliches druckgraphisches Werk hinterlassen. Bereits 1984 hat der Berliner Kunstschriftsteller und Twombly-Spezialist Heiner Bastian einen Catalogue Raisonné der Druckgraphik des Künstlers erarbeitet. Diese neue Ausgabe ist nun um die bis zu Twomblys Tod entstandenen Arbeiten ergänzt und wurde auf den neuesten Erkenntnisstand gebracht. Das graphische Werk von Cy Twombly zeichnet sich durch eine besondere Vielfalt der angewandten graphischen Techniken aus. Neben Monotypien, Radierungen, Lithographien und Siebdrucken erprobte der Künstler seine Meisterschaft auch an Offset-Lithographien und der Kombination verschiedener Druck- und Reproduktionstechniken. Der in englischer Sprache abgefasste wissenschaftliche Katalogteil umfasst 96 Werke, das erste aus dem Jahr 1952 und das letzte aus dem Jahr 2008. Sämtliche Werke sind in Farbe abgebildet. Sie machen das Verzeichnis zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für Sammler, Museen, Kunsthändler und Twombly-Fans. Ein Essay in deutscher und englischer Sprachversion von Heiner Bastian über das Werk Cy Twomblys leitet das Verzeichnis ein. Der von großer Sachkenntnis getragene Band erscheint mit einer Förderung der Cy Twombly Foundation, New York.

Andrea Caffi: The New York Essays gathers, for the first time in one volume, the remarkable essays that the Russian-born Italian socialist Andrea Caffi (1887-1955) published in New York between 1945 and 1948. Written in the shadow of fascism, world war, and the emerging Cold War, these essays offer a powerful and original critique of violence, mass politics, nationalism, and totalitarianism.Appearing in influential journals such as politics, possibilities, and Instead, Caffi's work engages directly with leading figures of the New York intellectual milieu, including Dwight Macdonald and Nicola Chiaromonte. Across topics ranging from revolutionary war and mass culture to mythology, Marxism, and the fate of Europe, Caffi articulates a vision of socialism rooted not in state power or organized violence, but in sociability, morality, and the renewal of civic life.At once philosophical, historical, and urgently political, Caffi's essays challenge both liberal and Marxist orthodoxies. They speak to enduring questions about the relationship between means and ends, the dangers of ideological conformity, and the possibility of freedom in an age of mass society.With a substantial introduction by Mike Tyldesley and an afterword by Alberto Castelli situating Caffi's thought within twentieth-century antifascism and the critique of political violence, this volume restores to contemporary readers one of Europe's most subtle and neglected radical thinkers.
