Published to mark the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s historic visit to Berlin in June 1963, Kennedy in Berlin captures the event in a series of hitherto unpublished photographs by Ulrich Mack. Technically superb, Mack’s photographs feature both the great set pieces of the visit, and candid, unscripted and personal moments in stunning close-up.

Bernhard Hoetger’s sculptures for the Plane Tree Grove on the Mathildenhöhe were the artistic highlight of the last exhibition of the Darmstadt artists’ colony in 1914: over 40 sculptural works across the entire garden area of the Mathildenhöhe, constituting an emphatic artistic synthesis of the circle of life. This volume discusses the 40 sculptures within the context of the Art Nouveau movement in Germany.

Thematically, the fantastical art of Wolfgang Schulze (known as Wols) creates a miniature world bridging Surrealismus, Art Informel and Tachism (these last tow are known in America as Abstract Expressionism), which dominated European art in the 1950s. This volume rediscovers the wide spectrum of this very versatile artist's work and its significance for late 20h century painting.
