“Der Katalog zur Ausstellung »Nur Papier, und doch die ganze Welt« zum 200sten Jubiläum der Graphischen Sammlung der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart zeigt eine Auswahl der Bestände mit Werken der Gotik bis zur Gegenwart – Aquarelle, Druckgrafiken, Mappenwerke, illustrierte Bücher, Plakate, Collagen und Fotografien von Albrecht Dürer bis Patti Smith. Das zu gleicher Zeit stabile und flexible Cover ist mit einem blassblauen Leineneinband bezogen, der in Material und Farbe auf die »Solander-Boxen« Bezug nimmt, in denen die Werke auf Papier aufbewahrt werden. Die Typografie auf Cover und Buchrücken ist in einer goldene Heißfolienprägung gehalten, die Trennerseiten glänzen in einem samtenen Graublau-Metallic. Die Ausstellung »Nur Papier, und doch die ganze Welt« in der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart eröffnete am 15. Juli, zeitgleich erschien der Katalog bei Hatje Cantz.” Mario Lombardo

This summer, for the reopening of the Dior boutique in Shanghai, the house of Dior called up Quentin Shih to produce a series of images, using the last couture collection, that would be displayed in the boutiques windows. Chinese photographer already collaborated with Dior in 2008 for “Dior with Chinese Contemporay Artists” with his series „The Stranger in the Glass Box“ which was assigned by the Hasselblad Masters Award in fine arts. Shih plays with surreal beauty and creates oil painting-style compositions by retouching his subjects, and in this case using one Chinese stereotype and repeating it in a pattern to reinforce the rigor and uniformity of Chinese mass culture.

“…every little bit of that romantic, old-fashioned feel that you might adore about a Moleskine notebook.”
As uncompromising visionary Diana Vreeland already used to say: Be spectacular. Statement and reason enough to be the perfect frame for this blog. Be spectacular shows inspirations and catalyzes personal perspectives on things in my everyday life. Such as eternal design, brandnew stuff, essence of fashion and pure minimalism. Admiration for the beautiful. Visualization of mind blowing, historical and unique moments and images. Be part of it! Be pink! Be spectacular!
