With lip art worthy of a museum, this collection showcases the magic Vlada Haggerty creates with lipstick. As Kylie Jenner put it, “Check out this inspiring photograph from . . . @vladamua!” From opulent to optical illusion, Haggerty’s art is a blend of makeup and magic that transforms her lips into canvases. Makeup artist royalty, her work is washed across the Internet, lips dripping and bedazzled, transformed by talent and a vision that’s helped shape the beauty industry. Featuring over 200 photographs of Haggerty’s work, Art of the Lip is a sumptuous tome to flip through and marvel at the minute painted details on her lips in each photo. Gloss, lipstick, sequins, and jewels transform Haggerty’s skin in hundreds of different images, with looks inspired by nature, jewelry, pop culture, and more. Much more than just lipstick, Haggerty’s art is a showcase of makeup’s power and an artist’s innovation.

Mund, Lippen, Zunge und Zähne – Sprache, Schmerz und Schrei – Essen, Schlingen, Speien und Spucken – Lust und Leidenschaft: Die Mundhöhle ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes eine äußerst reizvolle Körperzone. Ihrer Erkundung haben sich dabei nicht nur Wissenschaft und Medizin gewidmet, Gleiches gilt auch für die Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte – von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Diesen breit gefächerten motivgeschichtlichen Pfad verfolgt das Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg im Herbst 2020 erstmals in einer umfassenden Ausstellung rund um den Mund. Der begleitende Bildband bietet mit seinen anschaulichen Essays nicht nur inhaltliche Vertiefungsebenen an, sondern reicht weit über die Ausstellung hinaus. Hier wird der Mund mit seinen Fähigkeiten auch im Bereich der Filmgeschichte, Ethnologie, Literaturwissenschaften und Architektur unter die Lupe genommen.

Denim Rider and Other Stories is a collection of autobiographical comics and single panel diary cartoons produced by Kansas City artist Jason Lips from 2015 through early 2021. Lips uses the comics medium to document the joys and struggles of family life, teaching, and creative pursuits, as well as to process traumas such as the tragic death of his father, and the stresses of the Trump years and COVID-19 pandemic. Denim Rider and Other Stories toggles freely between joyfully lighthearted, crushingly painful, and strangely surreal approaches, weaving together a graphic meditation on family, loss, and the nature of creativity.
