BLAU INTERNATIONAL No. 12, Guglielmo Castelli cover

In No. 12, Guglielmo Castelli bares his baroque heart. Robert Ryman, the late master of late modernism, is remembered by eight close companions. Paying tribute to Marie Vassilieff, Paloma Picasso pulls the curtain up on her puppet collection. Dan Nadel visits Vincent Fecteau, a sculptor most discreetly working at the top of his game. Medardo Rosso, the man who modeled light, is honored by Brandt Junceau. François Halard photographs the home and studio of Enzo Cucchi. Preparing for a major show, Lotus L. Kang sits with Qianfan Gu for a poetic portrait. And Hans-Joachim Müller reflects on Rembrandt’s invention of the “I”.

Then, Tobias Spichtig’s paintings keep it together. Mark Luckasavage and Marie Chaix make you believe. Marika Thunder executes a stealthy debut. Ingvild Goetz talks about her far-reaching path to becoming a mega-collector. Andrew Winer looks at our lost destiny through the eyes of Hadrian. Collector Peter Pakesch salutes Franz West. And Frank Auerbach scholar and sitter Catherine Lampert farewells Berlin’s lost son.
