As usual, you will find us in the vendor exhibit hall; we hope you'll have the time to browse a selection of recently published exhibition catalogues and art books at booths 112 and 113 and chat with us about the ways in which Worldwide can assist your library with the challenging task of collection development.
We also hope to see you at the Convocation Ceremony on Wednesday evening, February 28th, during which this year's winners of the Worldwide Books Awards for outstanding new publications and electronic resources will be announced.

Highlights
LUC TUYMANS: CATALOGUE RAISONNE OF THE PAINTINGS, VOLUME ONE.
Eva Meyer-Hermann.
David Zwirner Gallery, New York, 2018.
Distributed by Yale University Press, New Haven.
448 pp. 32 x 25 cm. In English.
ISBN 9780300230284
Hardcover, boxed $200.00x
Publisher's description:
"Credited with a key role in the revival of painting in the 1990s, Belgian artist Luc Tuymans (b. 1958) continues to produce subtle, and at times unsettling, works that engage with history, technology, and everyday life. This first volume in a catalogue raisonne of Tuymans's paintings surveys nearly 200 works that were vital to his artistic development. The years 1978 to 1994 witnessed the maturation of his signature method of painting from preexisting imagery -- such as magazine images, Polaroids, and television footage -- as well as his first solo exhibition. Also dating from this period are many of his seminal canvases, along with ten poignant portraits of the ailing human body and the enigmatic series Superstition that comprised his first works exhibited in the United States. The catalogue features an introductory essay by Eva Meyer-Hermann and an illustrated chronology with archival images and installation shots of the works in this volume. It also includes brilliant new photography of each of the paintings. This publication is a testament to Tuymans's persistent assertion of the relevance and importance of painting -- a conviction that he maintains even in today's digital world, when his work continues to be a touchstone for artists and scholars."
FROM TAPESTRY TO FIBER ART.
Giselle Eberhard Cotton.
Skira editore, Milan, 2017. Distributed in the U.S.A. by Artbook|D.A.P., New York.
224 pp. 26 x 26 cm. In English.
ISBN 9788857234717
Hardcover $60.00x
Publisher's description:
"The historical and artistic development of the Lausanne Biennials illustrated with more than a hundred works and views of rooms, most of them unpublished. At the end of World War II, the art of tapestry experienced a new boom and throughout Europe national workshops and factories lived a renewal. By organizing the International Tapestry Biennials in 1962, the city of Lausanne (Switzerland) became the international showcase of contemporary textile creation. Held in the halls of the Musee cantonal des Beaux-Arts, the Lausanne Biennials gradually became more than just an exhibition. They had become a not-to-be-missed event that bore witness to the extraordinary evolution of an artistic expression that had graduated from the status of a decorative art to that of a truly independent art. And thus, for thirty years, thanks to the Tapestry Biennials, Lausanne came to be recognized as the capital of contemporary textile art and the laboratory of the New Tapestry movement. Illustrated with more than a hundred works and views of rooms, most of them unpublished, it testifies to the impact and vitality of these exhibitions - 16 editions, more than 600 artists from all over the world, 911 works exhibited - and their impact abroad."
