Hockneys Pictures

David Hockney

The story of David Hockney is one of passion: passion for seeing, passion for telling, passion for images. But to these should be added passion for life. Hockney’s art is a celebration of what it is to be alive. All his pictures—sometimes tender, as when he draws close friends and family; sometimes playful, as in his paintings of lazy, carefree days at the pool; sometimes awe-inspiring, as with his monumental images of the Grand Canyon—convey what it means to be in the world, to see it, to move in it, to love it.

99 Ninety Nines

Amin Kavousi

Written as a cinematic experience, 99 Ninety Nines is a three-act structured non-fiction narrative poetry collection that depicts a personal journey of enlightenment. Seven years, seven continents, seven heavens and seven hells in the making, but completely composed and edited over the past thirty-three months.

The text is synodic in wording, but precise and convincing, raw and real in quotations. With the audience in mind, we fly in, out, through and beyond spheres, layers and worlds, to achieve the impossible by reaching our Creator, becoming one with creation and human anew. In the rebirth, the main character, 'blue budgie' or 'the traveling heart' thrives after a powerful quest in truth-telling, to become 'a knower', and a whole person.

Mocafico Numéro

Guido Mocafico

In 1999, pioneering fashion editor and stylist Babeth Djian founded Numéro, the now famous Paris magazine with an unmistakable aesthetic that boldly combines fashion, contemporary art, music and design. Guido Mocafico has photographed provocative still-lifes for Numéro since its first issue, and this comprehensive six-volume publication contains all this work to date.

Every month Babeth gives Mocafico carte blanche for the closing pages of Numéro, a rare privilege in today’s advertising-driven fashion magazines. In response he creates radical still-lifes (of objects including perfume bottles, shoes, watches and jewelry) that incorporate the genres of architecture, landscape and nude photography, and make comparable work in other magazines look like uninspired product shots. The experimental forum offered to Mocafico by Numéro facilitates his maverick, sometimes critical view of contemporary vanity, and has given birth to some of his larger influential series including “Medusa,” “Movement,” “Serpens” and “Stilleven.”

Specifications - 6 volumes: 1324 pages. Softcover in slipcase. Four-colour process. 23 x 30cm.
