Amor Mundi: The Collection of Marguerite Steed Hoffman delves deep
into this remarkable singular collection. Over two volumes, Amor
Mundi presents an edited selection of over 400 works of modern and
contemporary art from the Collection of Marguerite Steed Hoffman,
from the pieces brought together by Marguerite Steed and her late
husband Robert Hoffman (1947-2006) to more recent outstanding
acquisitions. Over 30 authors - artists and art historians -
explore this fascinating collection, addressing specific artworks
as well as the motivations behind the collection's creation and
ongoing evolution. Created over the course of a two-year period,
great care has been taken to reflect the collection's key artists,
canonical works, and the issues and debates that have helped shape
its direction for more than a quarter of a century. By highlighting
the art and artists as well as the ideological principles
underlying the collection, it is hoped that Amor Mundi will shed
some light on how to interpret this extraordinary collection of
modern and contemporary art as well as communicating something
about the personality of the woman who assembled it. Texts by

Cecily Brown (b.1969, London) is one of the most acclaimed painters
working today. Her inimitable style shifts effortlessly between
abstraction and figuration, confounding our understanding of these
painterly modes and conventions. Published on the occasion of an
exhibition at Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, Naples, this
lavishly illustrated catalogue is an in-depth look at one of her
most conceptually rich and expressive paintings. Cecily Brown: The
Triumph of Death delves deep into this gigantic, multi-panel work,
which features the figure of Death riding roughshod over a town and
its residents. Inspired by a 1446 Italian fresco housed in the
Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo, Italy, Brown's The Triumph of Death
is the culmination of a fascination with death that has permeated
her work for several decades. With an introduction by Sylvain
Bellenger and newly commissioned texts by Gavin Delahunty,
Catherine Foulkrod and Sergio Risaliti, as well as featuring a set
of related, previously unseen drawings, the book provides
unparalleled analysis of this extraordinary work. Text in English
and Italian.
Offering historical, social, and artistic context for some of the
most influential artists and filmmakers from the 1960s to the
present day, this timely book looks at three filmic
techniques-appropriation, documentary film, and montage-and how
they confront the viewer with pieces of reality within a particular
"frame." Including previously unpublished material, Truth features
a selection of interviews with and essays about twenty-four artists
and filmmakers, among them Bruce Conner, Chick Strand, Jean-Marie
Straub and Daniele Huillet, Pratibha Parmar, and Dara Birnbaum,
whose work incorporates one or more of these techniques. Rather
than proposing similarities among these artists' practices, the
book explores the varied ways that their work examines truth,
meaning, and form as a way of coming to terms with reality.
