This book presents the work of Ceija Stojka (1933 –2013), an
Austrian Romni writer, painter, activist, and musician, and
survivor of the Holocaust. Beginning in the 1980s, Stojka created
over a thousand drawings and paintings, whose subjects range from
landscapes and recollections of her happy, prewar existence as part
of a large horse-trading family to the mounting oppression of the
Roma under the Nazi regime. Having survived the three concentration
camps Ravensbrück, Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz as a child, Stojka
left behind an oeuvre depicting her personal experience of arrests,
exterminations, survival, and liberation, which was shared by
millions. This book serves as an extension of the comprehensive
Ceija Stojka exhibition that is hosted by the Austrian Cultural
Forum New York between May and September 2023.

Beauty, terror, majesty, awe: mountain worlds have fascinated
humankind since time immemorial. Stephan Huber ascends the
snow-covered peaks "en miniature". In his sculptures he imitates
the relief of the mountains and creates theatrical-looking,
object-like works. This comprehensive volume reflects in powerful
images the Alpine cosmos which Huber has been investigating for
more than four decades. Stephan Huber’s “Mountains” can be
found everywhere: in museums like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the
Bonner Kunstmuseum and the Messner Mountain Museum, and also as
large-scale installations in the public space. His monumental
contribution to the Venice Biennale in 1999 received international
acclaim. In addition to the famous snow-white sculptures of
mountain peaks, the publication also assembles early book objects,
fictional expeditions, multiples and exhibition views. Essays and
an extensive conversation with Reinhold Messner about the interior
and exterior mountain worlds round out the volume.
