This impressive collection encompasses over two hundred rare pieces, dating from the 14th to the 20th century, some of which are exclusively found in museum collections. Many of these objects have been exhibited in leading museums in recent years, including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

About the authors

Karun Thakar is one of the world's most respected textile collectors and researchers. His impressive collection advocates for the preservation of intangible heritage and highlighting underrepresented cultures. Through textiles, Thakar aims to shed new light on postcolonial histories and forgotten crafts. He collaborates with international museums and established the Karun Thakar Fund at the V&A Museum in 2021 to support young talent worldwide in researching Asian and African textiles.

Avalon Fotheringham, the editor of this book, is curator of South Asian textiles and dress at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Together with other renowned experts such as John Guy (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Sylvia Houghteling (Bryn Mawr College), and Ebeltje Hartkamp-Jonxis (Rijksmuseum), she ensures a scientifically and culturally substantiated publication that is both informative and visually stunning.

"Curves make up the entire Universe," Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil's star architect, once said. Photographer and director Olaf Heine met the legendary architect shortly before his death. Since 2010, the renowned portrait and fashion photographer has been tracing the soul of Brazil, showcasing its sensual joy of life with a keen sense of forms and textures.

In his newly revised photo book "Brazil," Heine contrasts the Brazilian landscape and architecture with the curves of its people – surfers, dancers, and beautiful women. He deliberately avoids stereotypical colors, offering an unusual black-and-white perspective on Brazil. But Heine is not only interested in the richness of curves in architecture and bodies but also in their continuation in life: Everything is flexible and in constant motion. From the intensity of desire to the lightness of forms, Olaf Heine shows us a fascinating country in all its diversity, beauty, and melancholy.

In his works, Heine depicts the longed-for place that the first generation of Brazilian modernists created in architecture, literature, and music in the mid-20th century as an aesthetic expression of a social, political, and urban society undergoing positive changes. A wishful thinking and supposed utopia that many people look back on with nostalgia, especially in the current context.

The coffee-table book "Brazil" is the epitome of Brazilian "saudade," the longing and yearning for the tropical beauty of nature, vibrant cities, and unique people. For all Brazil enthusiasts, this illustrated book is a wonderful gift to repeatedly immerse themselves in the country and its optimistic lifestyle, free from clichés.

With texts by Oscar Niemeyer, Ruy Castro, Marcelo Camelo, and Matthias Harder.
