Il volume Pittas III dimostra come la collezione Pittas vanti di attraversare tutta la storia dell'arte, dalla scultura greca a Louis Jean-François Lagrenée a Giorgio de Chirico. Le 100 opere raccolte nel volume, ciascuna con la relativa scheda di approfondimento e con le proprie immagini a confronto, tradiscono tuttavia uno spiccato interesse del collezionista verso la mitologia greca e romana, probabilmente imputabile alle sue origini nel Mediterraneo orientale. Le opere sono disposte pertanto secondo un ordine tematico ruotante intorno alla divinità a cui di volta in volta si ispirano o riferiscono: ogni divinità costituisce un capitolo a sé, offrendo in questo modo al lettore la facoltà di ricavare un percorso armonioso e coerente per ogni esempio riportato.Il volume, a cura di Anthi Andronikou e Peter Humfrey, non intende fornire un modello enciclopedico, bensì accertare il valore artistico di ciascuna opera.

Through the brilliant photography of Richard Schulman and an insightful introduction by New Yorker critic Paul Goldberger, Portraits of the New Architecture celebrates the 50 architects who have reinvented architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries. From Philip Johnson and I.M. Pei to Richard Meier and Daniel Liebeskind, Portraits emphasizes the magnetism of the architects as well as their creations. With highly personalized representations of the architects themselves and images and design plans of their best work, the book explores the architect-as-superstar phenomenon: what does it mean that architecture today has become a style statement?

It has been said that the Austrian Cultural Forum, designed by Austrian architect and theorist Raimund Abraham (1933-2010), is the most spectacular modern structure built in New York since the Seagram Building and the Guggenheim Museum. Despite or because of the exceedingly restrictive conditions of the location, Abraham succeeded in producing extraordinary stylistic elements while meeting utilitarian criteria. This publication features contributions on a range of political, historical and aesthetic issues related to the building and its creator.

A new theory of culture presented with a new method achieved by comparing closely the art and science in 20th century Austria and Hungary. Major achievements that have influenced the world like psychoanalysis, abstract art, quantum physics, Gestalt psychology, formal languages, vision theories, and the game theory etc. originated from these countries, and influence the world still today as a result of exile nurtured in the US. A source book with numerous photographs, images and diagrams, it opens up a nearly infinite horizon of knowledge that helps one to understand what is going on in today’s worlds of art and science.
