The seminal surrealist: Exploring Dalí's grandiose and grotesque oeuvre Picasso called Dalí "an outboard motor that’s always running." Dalí thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was one of the century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics—and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This publication presents the entire painted oeuvre of Salvador Dalí. After many years of research, Robert Descharnesand Gilles Néret finally located all the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years—in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen.

The story of the American West, captured brilliantly in its art, is one of dreamers, explorers, and settlers. As lively and provocative as the West itself, Western Art Masterpieces offers a stunning collection of forty-eight masterworks, each accompanied by spirited commentary, that celebrate the people and the places of the American West with passion and imagination. A general introduction to the book, a tribute to the splendor of the majestic landscapes and extraordinary people who have given the West its unique identity, places the whole collection in a historical framework.

1969 bezieht der SPIEGEL-Verlag in Hamburg ein neues Domizil; das Verlagshaus erhält eine individuelle Inneneinrichtung: Der Däne Verner Panton (1926-1998) gestaltet das Gebäude. Nur die Kantine bleibt in ihrer ganzen Pracht erhalten, sie wird auf Betreiben einer Bürgerinitiative unter Denkmalschutz gestellt und ist ab 2012 im Hamburger Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe zu sehen. Dort wird jedoch nur der orangefarbene Speisesaal aufgebaut, der rote und der violette Speiseraum sowie die Snackbar wandern ins Depot. Die Publikation dokumentiert das farbenfrohe Ensemble aus Möbeln, Lampen, Vorhängen, Wand- und Deckenbekleidung - ein einzigartiges Gesamtkunstwerk.
