When you look around at the world, it’s almost enough to silence any laughter. But in the end, even evil can only be borne with humour; and these sometimes ironic, sometimes misanthropic, yet always brilliantly absurd drawings show us the perspectives of two exceptional artists.

This extravagantly designed, exclusive art volume presents approx. 330 illustrations, paintings and collages, many of them previously unpublished. 

Angry and ironic, tender and wonderful: Tomi Ungerer’s America in pictures and texts.

When Tomi Ungerer moved from the Alsace to New York in the mid-1950s and began to work as a graphic designer and illustrator, a crazy new world opened itself up to him, which the talented artist transformed into what are perhaps the most remarkable and powerful works of his career. Expressive and universal pictures which present the land of opportunities in a unique manner.

When Picasso meets hairdresser Eugenio Arias in 1947, they develop a deep relationship.
It is principally their communist conviction that unites the two Spaniards in exile in the South of France, but they also share a great love of bullfighting and a mischievous sense of humour. Picasso’s Hairdresser not only depicts the intense friendship between these two extraordinary men but also offers a fresh look on the world-famous painter as a generous and loyal companion.

With her humorous artwork, Ulrike Wachsmuth-Kiessling will conquer your heart. For (almost) every letter of the alphabet, in her delicate strokes and whip-smart tautograms, the artist reflects on human relationships and big societal themes, sometimes with a critical eye, sometimes with a wink. Her mischievous monkeys, brown bears and chauvinistic chow-chows are destined to become classics, as well as being amusing and thought-provoking.

As ›Harry the Cloud‹, Harald Naegeli has been writing to ›Friends of the Cloud‹ at irregular intervals since 2013. In his rebellious and philosophical dispatches, he shares updates about his latest graffiti and drawings, but also about encounters with man and mammal, about the reading that inspires him, about his indestructible belief in utopia and his perspective of art - not only in the public sphere. Lines filled with absurdity, thoughtfulness and affection, all complemented by photos of his works: women and flamingoes, lightning bolts and fish, eyes and bugs - the universe of a unique artist.

»Everything is a play on something, and a direct hit, to the eye, to nothingness, to the heart! With love, your Cloud.«
Harald Naegeli

Every single year! Even if there used to be more tinsel, Christmas is still at its most beautiful with Loriot. Alongside the legendary Advent story, this volume collects together more than 100 illustrations about industrious party preparations, presents that are guaranteed to delight and contemplative moments on Christmas Eve.

Please note: A calm Christmas is the result of a lack of imagination. A deafening racket is proof that Christmas isn’t just an empty word for you.

Home sweet home: A cosy, stylish home is the best guarantee of relaxation and mental peace. The road to that peace can be rocky at times, though. Loriot shares the traps of buying a house, the pitfalls of renovation and the trials of moving home in over 100 pictures and cartoons. But also the joys of interior design: our home shall be a mirror of our inner life.

The modern individual is constantly travelling, be it in their professional life or on vacation. In over 100 pictures and cartoons, Loriot illustrates how not to lose one’s head on car, train, sea or air trips, and how to demonstrate one’s worldliness on the beach, in a tent, at a hotel and in exotic locations.

We all need to eat. What matters is the what and the how of it. In 100 pictures and cartoons, Loriot introduces us to the secrets of German cuisine, teaches us table manners, correct behaviour in a restaurant and responsible dealings with alcohol and other enjoyable substances.

Loriot’s legendary television sketches in an opulent four-colour printing luxury volume. Loriot’s sketches wrote television history. Millions of Germans know entire dialogues by heart, quotes such as »my duck will not share the bathwater with you« have become common parlance. When Loriot gave his collected sketches the title Dramatic Works, he had no idea that he really would become one of the most-performed German dramatists of his time. Now this essential volume is finally available in an expanded edition with a modern layout and colour stills from the television sketches and animated films.

Discover a new side to Germany's most famous comedian and caricaturist. ›Spätlese‹ collects previously unknown gems from his estate: early picture stories, sketches for friends and acquaintances and the surprising ›nightshades‹ which Loriot created in the sleepless hours of his final years. A feast for all lovers of fine humour. The first Loriot book with unpublished drawings to be released in 30 years!

Who isn't familiar with it, that irksome obligation of immortalising oneself in guest books when visiting people? Loriot's guests had an easier run of it. The master of the house would photograph them instead, always against the same backdrop, and in a variety of poses. Friends, relatives, colleagues and fellow artists posed for Vicco von Bülow, alongside a pillar and in front of a curtain. Over the years, an extensive photo gallery came into being. Loriot's ›Guestbook‹ is a personal document, an amusing panorama of society and a condensed chronicle of changing fashions.
