“We are delighted by the depth and sensitivity of LÖWEL’s feature on ANIMALIA. Through its perceptive readings of Melanie Thöni’s Fake Fur and Yan Pei-Ming’s Tigres et Vautours, the editorial team vividly captures the exhibition’s central question: how humans reshape nature while ultimately remaining part of—and subject to—it.”
— Pia Sääf, Communications Director, The Team of the Heidi Horten Collection
SEPTEMBER 2026 - Vol. 1, No. 4:
The Democratization of Couture
GET READY FOR OUR MOST AMBITIOUS EDITION YET — Get ready to see Rosalía and Björk taking center stage in the art world, filled with stories of saints and connections to masters like Bosch. Furthermore, we keep our signature core, where we analyze how art reflects the democratization of fashion, and subsequently, the rise—and vilification—of fast-fashion empires, through works like Klimt’s The Death and the Maiden, Zurbarán’s Agnus Dei, and Vermeer’s The Milkmaid.
