Solo art book: Takanori Iwase, Japan – Silver the Creek
We are pleased to announce the solo art and gift book of our artist friend Takanori Iwase from Japan. The book is based on the solo winner exhibition held for Takanori Iwase in Cologne. His wood engravings are technical masterpieces. Through his delicate representation of light Takanori Iwases images convey a wonderfully lyrical mood.
‘Enter into Art’ text service – about our professional text concept
In our publications we abstain from the usual CV with listings of exhibitions and biographical data. These can be read on your website. On request, we add to our aesthetic consideration of your works a short vita in the form of an elevator pitch. If necessary, the vita can be incorporated into the consideration of art in a way that is both concise and entertaining. (The consideration of a sophisticated vita-text is however an extra service.) Undoubtedly, the interplay of poems, gifts and refined statements raises the value of your pictures. It is above all the poetic context that sets our art books apart from others.

The traveling exhibition ‘Fascination of Worldwide Art and Color’ shows small-format artworks from all over the world whose composition emphasizes meditative aspects. The artworks are arranged in ‘color zones’ for attentive viewing and relaxation, giving the idea of intercultural exchange space to flow in. Very different artistic techniques and styles are presented and combined with smaller sculptures, poetry, and sound. The exhibition gives viewers access to a broad spectrum of high-quality art and we would like to thank all artists and contributors for their commitment!

Books always lead to success. You can read them at any age and in any place. They are popular because they bring mental enjoyment and relaxation. They are a happy and comforting refuge, a daily highlight in times of hardship, treasures of education and liberal thought. Full of excitement, they will spend the nights with us. Above all, however, they rouse our curiosity, and many of us find the most thrilling company in the world of books.

Art Gift Book – 16 times ART – 16 mal KUNST
The art and gift book „16 times art“ introduces eighteen artists from sixteen countries by presenting four small works per artist. The group exhibition under the same title was held from 25 June – 21 August 2018 in the light-flooded foyer of Weißenthurm’s townhall on the left bank of the Rhine. In addition to the visual artworks shown at the exhibition the book also features several haiku poems from Germany and the Netherlands. As two of the poets are also visual artists, their work is presented under the heading: “art and poetry”. During the exhibition, three artists received an “honorable mention” and are featured more prominently on the cover, title page, and back of the book.
Art Book ART RETREAT – KUNSTRETREAT 2018

In addition to 219 images and the winning pictures in the larger format, the art book contains chapters on the topics “Living with pictures”, “Collecting art”, “Art, wine, poetry” (wine meditation), “Exhibition concept” and a detailed guide for mindful and enjoyable viewing of art and colors. In addition, there are 35 haiku poems, images with art objects, photos of the exhibitions and illustrations included.

In response to artists’ inquiries, we feel encouraged to publish an article about the effectiveness of and the way in which PR works, so that artists can better understand the value of our work. Indeed, PR evokes the appearance of a mystery whose meaning is not clear to everyone. PR has an indirect and long-term effect, which in the end generates more financial returns than the sale of an artwork. And publishing your pictures in art books is also extremely important to your reputation!

Art contemplations on your pictures: blog posts in German and English
Our German blog journal is a powerful public relations tool, which also disseminates professional articles, competition results and awards and our Online-Show. In this way, readers – particularly in German-speaking regions – can become more familiar with works of art to better understand them and the creative spirit of the artists concerned. Interested readers can view images and meditate with them. If they are interested in any of the artworks, they can get in contact with the relevant artist. Of course, the posts can also be published in English.

Solo art book: Chiemi Itoi, Japan – Cat Love
It is perhaps no coincidence that artists and writers often lose their hearts to cats. Moreover, they tend to view their freedom-loving, four-legged friends with a degree of envy and respect. According to Mark Twain, “Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the leash. That one is the cat.”. Although the work of famous artists and writers plays no part in this book, the Japanese artist Chiemi Itoi and the German haiku poet Gabriele Walter have been inspired by their shared love of cats. In collaboration with graphic artist and designer Kurt Ries, they have created an imaginative and stylish gift book.
Online events for art lovers in the German blog journal “Bernsteinrose”
We would like to use the second Prelude exhibition in the period 2018-19 as an opportunity to explain the background of our PR topics a little more. It is our goal to provide participating artists with a local and highly attractive presentation, which is also sustained on the Internet. Our online events, which are combined with an homage, serve this purpose.

Why are miniprints (+ mixed media) the ideal form of publicity for an artist in the international arena?
Small pictures not only focus the view, miniprints can reproduce and ship to all countries. With their concentrated beauty, miniprints or small format mixed media resemble precious stones or blooms. In a mindful way, they are comparable to the experience of sipping fine wine on the occasion of a vernissage. That’s why we designed the catalog for our small-scale events “ART RETREAT – KUNSTRETREAT” as an entertaining gift and meditation book. The book not only includes a guide to art meditation, it also deals with other entertaining subjects, such as collecting and living with art. The ‘Enter into Art’ events were the first worldwide miniprint and mixed media exhibitions in Germany. In the future, however, we will publish the book as part of a competition.
