Dit boek gaat over het kunstwerk. Een van de meest boeiende methoden om een kunstwerk te bestuderen is de radiografie. Röntgenstralen verschaffen ons informatie van buitengewoon belang over de bewaringstoestand van het werk, over de gebruikte materialen, het creatieve proces en de atelierpraktijk.

Sotogrande is Spain's most luxurious holiday resort. Located on the far south-easterly tip of the country, it offers breathtaking views of Gibraltar and Africa.

Through his photographs of Porto-Novo, Benin's historic capital, Jean-Dominique Burton shows us a city steeped in history but also turned towards the future: it is equally vibrant and at peace, undying but at risk. A city's foundation lies both in its architecture and its memories. Each must be cared for. Constructions can be supported, can be rebuilt and preserved. Memories are kept within families, by story-tellers and through legends.

His unusual motifs, which became unmistakable symbols of the absurdity of existence, influenced both German Expressionists and French Surrealists. This volume shows all the works from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts of Antwerp.
