Within the history of the German Informel the art of Gerhard Hoehme (1920-1989) occupies a very special position: although initially inspired by the French Tachisme Hoehme soon left the traditional flat canvas behind in order to protrude into space. Later he also incorporated language and history in his canvases that took on an increasingly spatial character. As one of a only a few artists of the Informel Hoehme also dealt with history, reflected the atrocities of World War II and the Nazi regime and also processed Paul Celan’s epochal work. In 1998 Hatje Cantz published Hoehme’s catalogue raisonné, a massive tome edited by Margarete Hoehme that with Gottfried Boehm’s texts also offers a very poetic account of the artist’s artistic development. Boehm chronologically follows Hoehme’s artistic development, fathoms his roots in French Tachisme and shows how the intense discussion of history and literature over time resulted in a unique oeuvre within German postwar art. By using everyday materials, scribbled lines and installative components on his shaped canvases Hoehme constantly reflected society, himself as a person and his own art, a modus operandi that also emphasized the in-between-ness of his art.
The present oeuvre catalogue is a beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated book that meticulously documents every work and every stage of Gerhard Hoehme's career that through Gottfried Boehm's emphatic writing rightly deserves the title of a reference work.

The iconic black-and-white photographs of Hamburg-born photographer Frank Habicht (born 1938) reflect the spirit of the Swinging Sixties in London. In the 1960s, the conservative postwar years in England gave way to a period of upheaval, with a younger generation dreaming of an unconstrained life, one full of free love, peace and harmony. On the streets of the British capital, Habicht began photographing the profound social and political changes that were underway.

From 1956 until 1970 Hatje Cantz published three volumes of "Neue Deutsche Architektur", publications showcasing notable contemporary architecture in Germany. The present third volume was compiled by Wolfgang Pehnt, one of Germany's preeminent architectural historians and critics. The particular value of the book lies in the wonderful contemporary photographs that show the buildings in their original state as well as the extensive plan material included. Covered are buildings by well-known architects like Egon Eiermann, Paul Schneider-Esleben or Gottfried Böhm but also lesser known protagonists like Hermann Blomeier and Manfred Lehmbruck, a range that makes the book significantly more insightful than retrospective compilations that primarily focus on the big names.

Night is an element of love; like fog. It liberates space, lets freshness cross it. Its magic elevates the body, brings to the surface the mystery of just being alive, being. With or without stars and galaxies, the sky becomes a private territory—the imagination’s own scope. These are moments when one reaches all there is between the moon and oneself.
Etel Adnan, Etel Adnan: on Love and the Cost We Are Not Willing to Pay Today (Hatje Cantz Verlag GmbH & Co KG, 2011) (via The Vale of Soul Making)
