B ENTELI’s spring titles pre-view takes the stage with a new layout. This new look is re-presentative of our current reorientation to carry the publishing history of our house into a successful future. We publish careful-ly edited books in the areas of art, culture and photography – BENTELI stands for high quality in content as well as design.As a Swiss publishing house with a long tradition, BENTELI’s program is committed to promoting Swiss topics while still ta-king readers far beyond the country borders. An aim that is re-flected in our list of spring titles: the yearbook of Reporter ohne Grenzen, an internationally active human rights organization, features documentaries by well-known journalists to call atten-tion to the state of press freedom worldwide. It is a worthy addi-tion to our range of political documentary photography. Swiss Press Photo’s annual catalogue meanwhile presents the best shots from press photography in Switzerland or by Swiss pho-tographers. Cornelia Wilhelm’s pictures take us to 1980s New York; her book Shot by both Sides is an impressive historical document. Nothing short of a round-the-world trip can be expe-rienced in the publication Drinking Culture and Iconic Drinks. Palm wine in India or sour milk in Africa – the book focuses on the important role of the every-day activity of drinking in different societies around the world.Outstanding topics and beautiful books that, as we hope, will fascinate and entertain our readers. We would furthermore like to

reach out to our colleagues in booksel-ling and expand our cooperation further by offering increased support for your efforts in selling our books. Are you interested? Our sales representatives Giovanni Ravasio and Hans Frieden are happy to advise you, or you can directly contact Kirstin Meditz at the publishing house.

We wish you an entertaining time with our new releases and look forward to our future cooperation.

Drinking constitutes one of the most basic needs of humankind – but its significance encompasses a lot more than just quenching your thirst. This publication, which complements the exhibition for the reopening of the Ethnographic Museum at the University of Zurich, illustrates the high cultural significance of beverages in cultures across the globe in astonishing and beautiful examples.Preparing, sharing and consuming liquids, the respective vessels and the techniques used, the communal experience of the drin-king circle ... all this is practiced in manifold ways and forms all around the world.Researchers from the Ethnographic Museum at the University of Zurich explain the preparation and significance of Indonesian and African palm wine, Amazonian cassava beer, Tibetan butter and Japanese green tea, Indian rice beer, African sour milk, Swiss milk and Polynesian kava. A wine merchant and a sommelier contri-bute short characterizations of these beverages that our palates are unaccustomed to – an invitation to the readers to enjoy this book with all senses.

“The rice beer is very dense with a complex structure. [...] The substance is grainy and slightly rough at the palate. The rice beer seems semi-dry with high acidity and few tannins, adding to a long, full-bodied finish with nutshells, banana and Madeira.”Yvo Magnusson, wine merchant, and Jan Kübler, sommelier

• ThenostalgiccharmofConeyIsland

Cornelia Wilhelm is only 19 when she packs her bags and leaves for New York to work for a photographer and see the world. She arrives, camera in her bag, in this harsh new metropolitan envi-ronment and immediately feels at home. She is a set assistant for the Pirelli calendar photo shoots by day, and by night she explo-res the many bars and concert venues and takes pictures of her surroundings: the nightlife, the artists, but also everyday life in the Bronx and in Harlem.Her refuge is Coney Island with its worn-down amusement parks lining up along the promenade and its carneys and pitchmen rau-cously advertising the next show, the next big attraction. This is where New York’s working class spends their weekends, looking for those few moments of bliss that Cornelia Wilhelm captures in her pictures.The book is both the portrait of a city from the perspective of a curious young woman eager to see the world, and a documenta-ry collage of normal people in New York far from the Big Apple’s glamour.

• Apublicationasastatementforthefreedomofpressandspeech

In many regions of the world a reporter’s job is a highly dangerous task: in numerous countries freedom of press and speech cannot be taken for granted; censorship and political unrest pose great risks to the journalists’ work. The association Reporter ohne Gren-zen documents violations of the freedom of press and information and fights censorship and restrictive regulations of the media.A volume of Fotos für die Pressefreiheit is published every year, featuring documentaries by internationally renowned photogra-phers and journalists to call attention to the living conditions in conflict zones. Picture essays from countries where journalists often work risking life and limb, paired with captivating features and interviews with local correspondents take us straight to the current hot spots of press freedom. Pictures and texts, which the participants provide gratuitously, spell out the importance of a free press in all countries across the world.The upcoming issue Fotos für die Pressefreiheit 2014 is a special edition for the 20-year anniversary of the association. As with the other issues, all proceeds go towards the support of journalists in danger.

We love beautiful books, which is why prime printing quality is im-portant to us. To perfectly adjust the printing machines, however, a lot of paper is needed that is later on recycled.We decided these printed sheets were far too precious to go into the bin and had an idea: upcycling instead of recycling! The prin-ted sheets that are not used for book production are now made into unique envelopes that will delight both sender and recipient and turn each letter into a small bibliophile gift.

This catalogue raisonné is among the few works of its kind that were able to draw on the artist’s own information and listing. The catalogue is thus based on Klee’s own report on his art produc-tion, meticulously recorded for the time between 1911 until his death in 1940. The paintings, drawings and watercolors offer an exceptional insight into the œuvre of this highly versatile artist and form a comprehensive overview of his seemingly inexhaus-tible creativity. The catalogue presents 9600 drawings, prints, wa-tercolors and oil paintings in chronological order. Nine volumes offer all relevant info and form a reliable reference for collectors, art dealers and libraries, meeting all requirements of a catalogue raisonné.

• ThemiscellaneousartistMaxBillpassedaway20yearsago

• ThreeBill-volumesforaspecialprice

The brilliant artist Max Bill (1908–1994) passed away 20 years ago. His tireless creative explorations did not only encompass architecture and exhibitions, design and graphics, but he also had a lasting impact on the contemporary perception of art as a pain-ter and sculptor. Looking back on this exceptional personality’s life and work, we offer an edition of three Bill books at a special package price.

funktion und funktionalismus is a collection of Max Bill’s key works from the years 1945 to 1988 on product and environment design, e.g. on the “basis and aim of an aesthetic in the age of machinism” or on “the good form in Switzerland”.bill am bauhaus collates texts and images from the archives to review the formative period in the 1920s when Max Bill studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau, receiving defining impulses for his fu-ture work.bill – bill – bill presents Max, Jakob and David Bill – father, son, grandson – three representatives of constructive art – an art move-ment that was founded by Max Bill. Three generations of a Swiss artist family that still shape the Bauhaus legacy up to this day.
