Ricola is a Swiss global brand, famous for its herbal candies, based in the town of Laufen, near Basel. Since 1975, the shareholders of the still family-owned business have been building the Ricola Collection systematically with a focus on Swiss art. Open to the public and on display in buildings that celebrated Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron have designed for Ricola since 1983, the collection spans more than half a century and represents the latest trends in contemporary art. This lavishly illustrated English-language book offers a lively insight into the collection, its history and presence in Ricola’s corporate life, and places it within the Swiss art scene. Concise comments on a large selection of individual works round off this volume.

MONET MITCHELL explores the artistic parallels between Joan Mitchell (1925–1992) and Claude Monet (1840–1926), who lived and worked in the same area outside of Paris at different moments in time, responding to a shared landscape. Mitchell achieved recognition in the New York scene in the 1950s before gradually settling in Paris at the end of the decade and establishing her studio in 1968 in Vétheuil—where Monet lived for several years. The book establishes a dialogue between Monet’s late works and Mitchell’s paintings following her move to France and the 24 years she spent living and working around Monet’s former residence. The publication includes numerous works by both artists and brings together two exceptional ensembles—Monet’s Agapanthus triptych and Joan Mitchell’s Grande Vallée, a unique and major cycle of 21 paintings. Essays explore the significance of Mitchell’s work from this key moment in her career and the significance of the later paintings of Monet.

This biography by the art historian Dora Imhof illuminates the manifold activities of the curator, editor, and writer Bice Curiger. For the first time all of Curiger's exhibitions are documented and analyzed in depth-from Frauen sehen Frauen (Zurich, 1975) to the 2011 Venice Biennale to her current projects at the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles. Curiger's trajectory is contextualized within the history of curating, the globalization of the art world, and the institutionalization of contemporary art over the last four decades.

The publication Set and Setting: Kerim Seiler 1997–2022 documents the work and activities of the artist Kerim Seiler from the beginnings of his career to the multifaceted large-scale projects that he has realized in public spaces and thus achieved notoriety beyond Zürich and Switzerland. In addition to its work-documentary character, the focus of the book is on imparting art-historical knowledge, because Seiler's oeuvre can be used to explain discourses and theorems that have had a decisive influence on the development of the visual arts over the past 60 years. From installation and performative work concepts to the situational understanding of art and site-specific art - Seiler's oeuvre deals with these and other art theoretical methods and approaches,
