Toulouse-Lautrec i l'esperit de Montmartre (Toulouse-Lautrec and the Spirit of Montmartre) is the catalogue, containing over 300 illustrations, that accompanies the exhibition of the same name organised by Obra Social "la Caixa". This multidisciplinary show reveals the fundamental role the Montmartre spirit played in the development of modern art. It looks at the way Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries influenced evolution of an ephemeral artistic production, shaped by Bohemia and the avant-garde, which challenged established mores. In posters, illustrations, prints and designs they disseminated the Bohemian spirit and their artistic creations to new audiences in late nineteenth-century Paris.

L'hôtel Mezzara d'Hector Guimard (Hector Guimard's Hôtel Mezzara) narrates the history - its images leading us inside - of this mansion, a masterpiece of the great master of French Art Nouveau, Hector Guimard. Albeit not so renowned as the famous Paris metro entrances, this is one of the architect's most interesting buildings. Built for the textile industrialist, Paul Mezzara, in 1910-1911, its elegance is striking while it perfectly fulfilled the function for which it was built.
With this publication, Le Cercle Guimard initiates a monograph series on Guimard's buildings, the result of intensive research into the architect's work by this association.

Joan Cardona. El glamour de la Belle Époque (Joan Cardona: The Glamour of the Belle Époque) is the catalogue to the exhibition of the same name that was presented at the Galeria d'Art Gothsland in Barcelona from November 2017 to January 2018.

The exhibition's catalogue "Clarence H. White and His World" begins with White's early work in Ohio, which shares with the Arts & Crafts movement the advocacy of hand production, closeness to nature and the simple life. White's involvement with the Photo-Secession and his move to New York in 1906 mark a shift in his production, as it grew to encompass commercial portraiture and an increasing commitment to teaching, leading him to establish the first institutions in America to combine instruction in both technical and aesthetic aspects of photography. The book incorporates new formal and scientific analysis of White's work and techniques, and many unpublished illustrations of the moody outdoor scenes and quiet images of domestic life for which he was revered.
