An in-depth analysis of the photography of the acclaimed Saudi artist and an glimpse into her innermost feelings.

Reem Al Faisal is a pioneering Saudi documentary photographer whose home is Jeddah, yet whose true studio is the world. Through her lens, she captures moments that transcend geography, revealing profound spirituality, human connection and the divine presence woven into both nature and daily life.
Her career has been defined by a series of historic firsts: she was the first female photographer to document the entire Hajj, the first Saudi photographer to conduct extensive work on the Muslim community in America, the first Saudi to exhibit in Palestine, and the first Arab photographer to exhibit in China. She has also documented life in China, Japan, Korea and Iran. Her work explores the intersection of Islamic philosophy and photography and the influence of Arabic poetry.
With each project, Reem Al Faisal continues to expand the boundaries of Saudi art, blending culture, spirituality and innovation into a visual language that resonates with audiences worldwide.

In the year 1170 Hildegard, now elderly, makes her last journey to recount what she has seen and heard. It is a time when the written word takes shape, resonating in the great cathedrals, and it is in this prophetic time that the saint entrusts her entire work to the painted word. A journey in images that narrates the path along the roads until the return to the heart of God, in the great sphere within three spheres of creation. Hildegard allows the living source of God's wisdom to flow into the construction of images where numbers, shapes, colours, sounds and the movement of the stars sing the wonder of the divine order, imitating its creative action, which first draws an image with a compass and only then paints it with colours.
The richly illustrated volume accompanies the original reproductions of the images from the two Hildegardian codices with new, never-before-seen images hidden within the miniatures. The work is divided into three parts: the first recounts the journey through the cosmos, from the sphere of creation to the sphere of the soul; the second describes the process of writing and composing the hidden images; and the third explains the wisdom code used to construct the work and the images thanks to the arts of the quadrivium, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy.

Following the success of her highly acclaimed first work, Modern Art in Egypt: Identity and Independence (1850-1936), Fatenn Mostafa-Kanafani’s new book, The Egyptian Avant-Garde: Artists, Poets, and Rebels 1936-1973, reclaims Egypt’s revolutionary art movements, positioning them as independent models within the global art historical canon.
Navigating the complex intersection of art, politics, and society, Kanafani demonstrates how Egypt’s two most critical artist collectives - the Art & Liberty Group and the Contemporary Art Group - were at the forefront of a radical reimagining of Egypt, challenging Western-centric predefined frameworks that either label the former as a derivative of international Surrealism or view the latter through the lens of Islam. The Egyptian Avant-Garde offers the first in-depth comparative study of these progressive cultural forces, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of their ideological and visual disruptions during Egypt’s fight for independence from colonial rule and in the aftermath of the 1952 Revolution.

Frank O. Gehry, architect and master in his field, died today at 96.

His most famous works included the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, Miami’s New World Center and the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.

He was also one of the first to embrace the potential of computer design, and pioneered a distinctively exuberant style that soon became a brand on its own.

Francesco Vezzoli’s work revels in the power of nostalgia, fame, and sorrow, threading cinema, embroidery, and art history into a singular, melancholic vision. His bejeweled tears—stitched onto the faces of film and fashion’s great icons—transform heartbreak into ornament, elevating sorrow to spectacle. Edited by Shai Baitel, the book traces Vezzoli’s engagement with visual history, from the golden age of Italian cinema to the devotional traditions of religious iconography. Through film, needlework, and performance, he reframes longing and loss as a conceptual thread linking cultural memory with contemporary image-making. Francesco Vezzoli: Diva? is a study in beauty, artifice, and catharsis.

Skira editore

Losanna 1928: Un giovane svizzero innamorato dell’arte Alberto Schira, che ha francesizzato il suo nome in Albert Skira, fonda una minuscola casa editrice. Nessuno può immaginare che questa sigla farà la storia dell’editoria d’arte nel mondo.

Parigi, anni ’30: Al 25 di rue de la Boétie c’è la sede parigina della casa editrice Skira. La frequentano Pablo Picasso e Henri Matisse, cui si devono i primi due straordinari libri della giovane casa editrice: le Metamorfosi di Ovidio con 30 acqueforti originali di Picasso e le Poésies di Mallarmé, per le quali Matisse ha creato 29 incisioni.

Ginevra, 1948: Per festeggiare i vent’anni della Skira, che ha trasferito la sede svizzera da Losanna a Ginevra e conserva a Parigi quella francese, Henri Matisse disegna di suo pugno la copertina del catalogo: un volto di donna che diverrà il simbolo della casa editrice, affiancato al celebre marchio con le maiuscole allungate. Negli anni che seguiranno quel marchio farà il giro del mondo, contrassegnando libri e collane mitiche.

Oggi la sede della holding del gruppo è ancora a Ginevra, ma il quartier generale si trova ora a Milano, in un grande palazzo del Cinquecento. Skira pubblica oltre 300 novità all’anno con tre programmi principali, in italiano, inglese e francese e due più ridotti, in tedesco e in spagnolo. La qualità editoriale e quella visiva restano i caratteri distintivi fondamentali della casa editrice, che ha allargato il proprio orizzonte dalle arti visuali all’architettura, al design, alle arti applicate, sino alla moda e al cinema. Skira è il maggior editore europeo di cataloghi di mostre ed è anche produttore e organizzatore di grandi eventi artistici.
