During the National Socialist era, Ida Kerkovius (1879–1970) was vilified as a ‘‘degenerate’’ artist for her paintings, yet she continued to work on in seclusion far from prying eyes. After 1945, she became one of the most important women artists of the postwar years in a male-dominated art industry. She transformed the visible world into rhythmically abstract compositions that are a truly sensory experience. The comprehensive catalogue raisonné of this exceptional artist’s work is published in the fall of this year.
Artists, designers, and inventors can and should be role models for us, sources of inspiration for us to draw on, encouraging us in our efforts to keep ourselves from being misguided in challenging situations and to make the world more beautiful and livable.

Looking back on our special success in 2025, we present our upcoming publications: We have received the German Publishing Prize and see this recognition as a commitment to being the publisher for special artistic expressions outside the commercialized art world. Dana Meyer’s Roccella silphidae, which stands out on the cover of our new catalogue, is the perfect symbol for this.
Ensuring that art and books on art, besides providing the sensory gratification that they do, also critically challenge societal developments and even shape them is particularly important to us. Art provides space for developing visions of how our society can and should look in the future. At the present time especially, art, cultural communication, and education can promote understanding of our fellow human beings and the diversity of cultural expression to an exceptional degree.

Over the next six months, our program will once again showcase the diversity of cultural expressions, including handmade textiles, global table culture, the magic of glaze in ceramics, and the narratives of contemporary jewelry art. We remind you that culture is not a luxury; it is our life.
This year, we declare our solidarity with all those struggling against increasing restrictions. We are looking at the situation in the USA and all the other countries and regions of the world where freedom of artistic expression cannot flourish.

The celebrated Norwegian artist Hannah Ryggen (1894–1970) repeatedly took a stand on the social issues of the day through her large-format tapestries. During World War Two she actively campaigned for the victims of fascism and National Socialism and spoke out critically in her art on political matters such as nuclear armament and the Vietnam War, even in her advanced years. We are therefore delighted to present as part of this year’s program the publication Hannah Ryggen: Mater.
Discover more exciting and remarkable books from the fields of fashion, design, photography, garden architecture, ceramics, and jewelry in our new catalogue, which likewise provide touchpoints with the important issues of our day.
