For over three decades, Caroline Christie-Coxon has been captivated by a geometric form rich in symbolic meaning and cultural resonance: the circle.
Through her explorations of this form duality, process and fluidity, she speaks to the cyclical nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all things. Her approach engages global concerns, envisioning a sustainable and unified future.
Her practice encompasses painting, site-responsive interventions with both permanent and ephemeral aspects, public art, sculpture, photography and performance elements.

"Circle Culture" is deep dive into her work and philosophy: don't miss you chance to grab a signed copy in our boutiques in Milan and Paris!

Yesterday, Italy lost one of his most famous artists: Arnaldo Pomodoro, worldwide reknown for his sculptures, died right before celebrating his 99th birthday.

Born in 1926, he dreamt of becoming an architect but chose not to, wanting to start working earlier and help his family.
He and his brother Giò took part together to the 1956’ Venice Biennale, and opened a studio together during the following year. And that was just the beginning of a sparkling career.

Skira worked with the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation on several books, from the artist’s Catalogue Raisonnè to the important publication about the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome, published in partnership with Fendi.

Born today in 1890 in Tulln, Austria, Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele is famous for the intensity and the raw sexuality of his artworks. His exploration of the n**e also involved several self-portraits. The almost twisted body shapes and the highly expressive lines that characterize Egon Schiele's paintings allow us to identify the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.

Rediscover Cleopatra, the last ruler of Egypt and one of the most popular female figures in history.
This new catalogue accompanying the exhibition summarises the latest research on this historical figure and the legend associated with her.
Combining historical and contemporary approaches, it sets out to compare representations of Cleopatra with the reality of archaeological, historiographical and numismatic sources, and deciphers the development of her image over the centuries, from Horace's fatale monstrum to Mankiewicz's glamorous icon, via the tragic heroine of illuminations and Romanticism to the beauty queen of advertising.
Richly illustrated - from ancient coins to contemporary art, archaeology, old masters, theatre, the 7th art, fashion, comics and artificial intelligence - this catalogue analyses the construction of an imaginary surrounding an omnipresent icon, now a symbol of resistance movements and feminism around the world.

-

Redécouvrez Cléopâtre, dernière souveraine d’Égypte et l’une des figures féminines les plus populaires de l’Histoire.
Ce catalogue inédit accompagnant l’exposition offre une synthèse des dernières recherches sur ce personnage historique et la légende qui lui est associée.
Alliant approches historique et contemporaine, il ambitionne d’abord de confronter les représentations de Cléopâtre à la réalité des sources archéologiques – historiographiques et numismatiques – décrypte l’élaboration de son image au cours des siècles, du fatale monstrum d’Horace à l’icône glamour de Mankiewicz, en passant par l’héroïne tragique des enluminures ou du romantisme ou la reine de beauté des publicités.
Richement illustré – des monnaies antiques à l’art contemporain, en passant par l’archéologie, les maîtres anciens, le théâtre, le 7e art, la mode, la bande dessinée et l’intelligence artificielle –, ce catalogue analyse la construction d’un imaginaire entourant une icône omniprésente, symbole aujourd’hui des mouvements de résistance et du féminisme dans le monde.

The result of over fourteen years of research by the Archivio Schifano, the catalogue raisonné of the pictorial work of Mario Schifano (1934-1998) is the first and only scientific publication authorized by S.I.A.E. (Italian Society of Authors and Publishers) and recognized by the Heirs and the Archive that serves as the general catalogue of the Master’s works. This first volume presents the artist’s works from 1960 to 1969 and includes more than 1,600 images and photographs, mostly unpublished, from Mario Schifano’s private archive as well as from all the most authoritative archives related to those years.

Besides being a catalogue raisonné scientifically compiled according to the strictest archival standards, the publication (especially in tome I, presented here in this carousel) traces not only the artist’s work, but also his life, and the international atmosphere around him in Rome.

Find out more at skira-arte.com, and discover the Catalogue Raisonné online, in our Milan boutique and in bookstores.

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.
