At the Ludwig Museum in Budapest, in the middle of an installation extending through several rooms, the Georgian-born artist Gia Edzgveradze presented a bed in which a handsome man lay under a blanket with the inscription, "Come and join me, and we could make an art-baby..." The provocations Edzgveradze engineers in his work are always humorous and full of irreverence.

This colorful introduction to Niki de Saint Phalle's art presents her wildly imaginative creations, which invite children to look, touch and explore.

This collection of "cuts," or woodprints, by German figurative painter Paco Knöller explores the possibilities of printing by integrating new materials like dimpled sheets and bit-mapped grids. Large compositions of intensively luminescent surfaces contrast with dull colors, leading to complex combinations and images that juxtapose large shapes with lines.

Even in the usually unflappable art world, Eva and Adele stand out. Their shaven heads, garish costumes, and intense use of make-up have made them identifiable to many. This book promises to spread their hyper-conscious gender play to an even wider audience, and features drawings and photographs of the outlandish twosome in all their campy glory. Their shrill and shimmering packaging in which they present themselves along with their radiant smiles inspire astonished gazes, laughter and genuine enjoyment. Their courageous and radical work evokes both delight and admiration, affirming them in their role as "World Communicative Global Plastic".

Wolfgang Laib's breathtaking and quietly beautiful artwork draws on the ritual life he leads in and with nature and its processes of becoming and forgetting. Laib's installations in Belvedere Castle, painstakingly documented in this book, afford access to one of the most privileged and poetical spaces of classic Weimar. Laib transports the space into the present, lending it both a sculptural and an imagistic dimension--the highlights include four wax ships, laid out on a simple support on the ground floor, that look as though they have been put aside for some later voyage whose destination is as yet uncertain. These magnificent works of art constitute some of the finest examples of Laib's ability to evoke the personal and human as well as the transcendental and the sublime.
