Molecule 05
Escentric Molecules
"Molecule 05, cashmeran, is dry, radiant, warm and woody with an unexpected touch of pine resin”, says Geza Schoen. “That gave me the idea of creating a different kind of summer fragrance for Escentric 05. I wanted to evoke what it was like to be by the sea, but not by using the usual marine notes, which I find too artificial. ??Instead, I wanted to recreate the experience of being on an island in the Mediterranean, like the one where I have spent so many summers. What you notice as you walk up the path from the sea is how the heat changes plants and trees, they turn dry, resinous and aromatic.

Contemporary Art Brazil
Thames & Hudson
Brazil is arguably the most fascinating emerging economy in the world today. As a result of its recent exponential growth, the country is experiencing an exciting blossoming of culture across many areas. Contemporary Art Brazil brings together 120 of the most important Brazilians who are currently active in the realm of the fine arts, including artists, gallerists, heads of institutions, critical thinkers and collectors.
Extensively illustrated and based on the most up-to-date research, Contemporary Art Brazil provides an invaluable survey of current trends and key players, placing them in the context of Tropicalismo and NeoConcretism, the two movements that first brought the Brazilian art scene to international attention in the 1960s. Although they are regularly challenged, both remain major sources of reference for artists today.
The book presents profiles of internationally recognised figures such as the artists Cildo Meireles, Beatriz Milhazes, Ernesto Neto and Tunga, and the collector Bernardo Paz (owner of the world-famous Inhotim sculpture park), as well as other personalities, including the iconic curators Aracy Amaral and Walter Zanini, older-generation artists Antonio Dias and Nelson Leirner, and younger-generation practitioners Jonathas de Andrade, Rodrigo Bivar and Cinthia Marcelle.

Ali Banisadr
Ali Banisadr
Ali Banisadr's first major monograph delves into the Iranian painter's influences and practice.
Preeminent Iranian-American artist Ali Banisadr's canvases depict a complex swirl of action and abstracted figuration across a stagelike picture plane. Varied histories inform these paintings, ranging from the artist's synesthesia, to Persian miniatures, to the multi-figure works of Brueghel and Bosch, and the gestural imaginations of Willem de Kooning and Max Ernst.
Born in Tehran in 1976, Ali Banisadr grew up during the Islamic revolution and the eight-year Iran-Iraq War. In 1988, he and his family emigrated to Turkey and then to California. In 2000, he moved to New York City where he currently lives and works.
