OUT OF STOCK SOON Rupture is proud to present Karl Kolbitz’s new book, « Divine Presence, » A huge thank you to Hatje Cantz publishers. Supported by the Peter Marino Art Foundation. How do you represent the divine and the central miracles of Christianity? Divine Presence explores this question through the captivating world of marble representations in Late Gothic and Early Renaissance art. This groundbreaking study reveals how painters—including Fra Angelico, Bellini, Crivelli and Mantegna—transformed depictions of marble from mere decoration into a powerful theological tool. By blending naturalistic detail with imaginative color and texture, these artists created visual meditations on creation, incarnation, resurrection, and divine presence. Their pioneering use of paint foreshadows much later artistic movements and gestures; their works made the ineffable visible, inviting viewers to glimpse heaven through pigment and stone. The first visual study of this widespread visual phenomenon, Divine Presence offers fresh insights for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, and history buffs. Through stunning imagery, original research, and engaging texts, this book uncovers the spiritual and devotional power of painted marble in the art of the Late Gothic and Early Renaissance. Sophisticated and timeless in design, with luxurious finishes such as fine book cloth, a gilded edge, and high-quality paper, make this volume - printed in Italy - a precious gift and an object to treasure. Karl Kolbitz is an editor and author whose projects, at the intersection of art, architecture, and design, have gained international acclaim. His publications explore subjects hidden in the everyday, bringing the seemingly incidental to the forefront. He gained international recognition with Entryways of Milan (2017), a homage to the city’s modern architecture. In 2021, he followed up with Gio Ponti, the most comprehensive publication on the life and work of the Italian architect and designer.

To the question, “Can we privatize or rent the Rupture Stores in Marseille, Venice, Tangier, and Athens (opening in 2026)?” the answer is “YES.” At Rupture, culture is the new luxury. Our books, records, precious objects, and works of art deserve to be displayed in settings worthy of the Rue de la Paix, and that’s why we gave carte blanche to the artist Pierre Gonalons to design our collection of cultural hubs. We are not booksellers, but rather book galleries; we are not exhibition spaces, but artist residencies, and we can proudly say that our locations are among the most exclusive in the world. Our bookstore-gallery in Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse in Marseille has been listed in the Gestalten ranking as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. After opening on the Giudecca waterfront, Rupture is moving to the historic center of Venice, in Santa Croce district, in the heart of the prestigious «Museum district», just steps from Fondazione Prada In Tangier, stop by the legendary Librairie des Colonnes, a temple of world literature, a haven for the Beat Generation, and once saved by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent. Finally, in our pop-up bookstores, I wanted to bring together, in a kind of cabinet of curiosities, objects, books, records, and souvenirs from our Mediterranean travels.

5 years of an idea, 2 years of process, 1 month of exhibition. So many people have contributed to making this a reality and to whom thank you will never be enough. To Kandis, Meriem, Orian and Tai, thank you for your generosity and trust in sharing your work. To the Swedish Girls, Mira and Josefin, and XAARCHIVE, Sofia and Nayla, for their beautiful designs. To Sebastiano for being able to visually translate to its essence the identity of the Foundation and the project in all its facets. To Louise Trotter and the Bottega Veneta team for supporting this project with respect and through a real and shared partnership. To Eliza for making this possible. And to Chiara and Marta for the care, dedication, hard work and love you have shown in every aspect of its development, a thank you I’ll never stop saying. To my family and our legacy, to be part of it is the greatest honour. All time will forever remain.

I fell in love with Thomas Lelu’s work. An extraordinary artist who has a keen sense of the times, wit, and a wild imagination. We are fortunate to receive his first signed and numbered screen prints this week in Venice. Feel free to pre-order them via private message. Thomas Lélu is a contemporary artist, photographer and author of fiction. His visual work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world and has published 5 novels including Le Parisien (Flammarion) but also essays such as “The Manual of the Failed Photo” (Léo Scheer) and “After” ( Sternberg Press). Trained at Ensad (National School of Decorative Arts), he first worked as a graphic designer for many years before pursuing his career in the fashion press and advertising. In 2020 he opened a first gallery in Paris, La Cité, which he directs and since 2022 he has been curator of the Hôtels Amour residences in Paris and Nice. “An artist with a nomadic practice, deliberately flirting with that of the amateur to better blur the lines and desecrate the status of the Contemporary Visual Artist, Thomas Lélu nevertheless adopts work protocols based on research, selection, extraction, the organization of images and words which constitute the material of his work, before diversion and transposition. This approach of quest, archiving and putting into perspective makes Thomas Lélu one of our archaeologists of the present time.” Sérigraphie signée et numérotée 25x32,5 cm Sur papier Velin d’Arches 270g Sérigraphie par Atelier Arcay Édition de 50 Price 180 euros @thomaslelu @atelier.arcay @librairierupturelecorbusier @rupture_arts_and_books @libreriarupturevenezia

« A GALLERY OF BOOKS, NOT A BOOKSTORE » Rupture in Venice challenges the expectations of traditional bookstore. Alexandre Sap’s Rupture Arts & Books store in Venice is part of a network that encourages the exchange of culture, conversation and community in a creative international cultural space. After opening on the Giudecca waterfront, Rupture is moving to the historic center of Venice, in Santa Croce district, in the heart of the prestigious «Museum district», just steps from the Mocenigo Museum, the Prada Foundation, the Natural History Museum, the Valmont Foundation, the Ama Foundation, the Ca’ d’Oro Palace, the Berggruen Foundation, Ca’Pesaro, the Casa del Cinema, the Museum of Oriental Art. Rupture is a new cultural engine for Venice: an experimental bookstore that rethinks what a contemporary reading space can be. Positioned between tradition and transformation, Rupture acts as a platform for independent publishing, a laboratory for new ideas, and a bridge between Venice and the world. Rupture reopens in the Santa Croce neighborhood in Venice, to expand its offerings, its space, its catalog, and to launch its publishing house, its record label, and its podcast production studio. Our mission is to celebrate books not as fixed objects, but as living encounters between cultures, disciplines, generations, and creative practices. Located a stone’s throw from the Grand Canal at the San Stae Vaporetto station, on the street adjacent to the immense architectural masterpiece of the San Stae church, Rupture has decided to set up the shop in the heart of the museum and foundation district.

RUPTURE VENICE REOPENS ITS DOORS APRIL 29 After opening on the Giudecca, Rupture is moving to the historic center of Venice, in Santa Croce district, in the heart of the prestigious «Museum district», just steps from Fondazione Prada. Rupture is a new cultural engine for Venice: an experimental bookstore that rethinks what a contemporary reading space can be. Positioned between tradition and transformation, Rupture acts as a platform for independent publishing, a laboratory for new ideas, and a bridge between Venice and the world. Rupture reopens in the Santa Croce neighborhood in Venice, to expand its offerings, its space, its catalog, and to launch its publishing house, its record label, and its podcast production studio. Our mission is to celebrate books not as fixed objects, but as living encounters between cultures, disciplines, generations, and creative practices. Located a stone’s throw from the Grand Canal at the San Stae Vaporetto station, on the street adjacent to the immense architectural masterpiece of the San Stae church, Rupture has decided to set up the shop in the heart of the museum and foundation district. No fewer than 10 museums and institutions are concentrated along the Grand Canal in the Santa Croce district: the Mocenigo Museum, the Prada Foundation, the Natural History Museum, the Valmont Foundation, the Ama Foundation, the Ca’ d’Oro Palace, the Berggruen Foundation, Ca’Pesaro, the Casa del Cinema, the Museum of Oriental Art, and yet, no art bookstore in the vicinity. This is a real need in the area, and we will synthesize everything that is missing from the bookstores of these museums and provide a solution through a carefully curated and refined selection that complements the existing offerings of museum bookstores. We see ourselves more as a partner to museums and will organize various events, including author meet-and-greets, special events, partnerships on new exhibitions, and sales of their catalogs, all in accordance with their cultural calendars. We will also explore co-publishing projects with certain museums Rupture’s program is built on three pillars: global independence, local relevance, and curatorial experimentation.

CHANEL, RUPTURE, SAINT LAURENT. Sean Rose, journaliste à Livres Hebdo dévoile son enquête sur les liens discrets, voire secrets entre le luxe et l’édition. Depuis l’emblématique Librairie 7L créée par karl lagerfeld, le luxe n’a cessé de s’intéresser au livre. Saint Laurent vient d’ouvrir un concept store rive gauche, mêlant ouvrages imprimés, vinyles, photographie... Les boutiques Rupture liées aux éditions de maisons de couture entendent réinventer la librairie en hybridant vente de livres et d’œuvres d’art à Marseille, Venise, Tanger. « Le livre devient-il le nouvel accessoire du luxe ? Rendez-vous littéraires Chanel, Exposition de livres au Bon Marché, galeries de livres à Saint Laurent Babylone ou chez Rupture, de Venise à Tanger en passant par Marseille. Est-ce une lubie ? Pourquoi le luxe continue-t-il de s’accrocher à l’édition, marché a priori si peu rentable ? Alexandre Sap a repris la librairie des Colonnes à Tanger et celle de la Cité radieuse à Marseille, librairie au tropisme « architecture et urbanisme », installée au sein de l’exceptionnelle unité d’habitation signée Le Corbusier @chanelofficial @saintlaurentbabylone @ysl @librairie7l @colette @lebonmarcherivegauche @livreshebdo @librairierupturelecorbusier @libreriarupturevenezia @karllagerfeld @anthonyvaccarello @sarahandelman

Est ce que la Beauté sauve ? Quel est votre avis ? Mon livre… est à nouveau reimprimé… plus de 5000 exemplaires vendus … Je ne me rend pas bien compte. Mais ma grande joie est de le découvrir bientôt traduit en anglais… et en Italien ! Extraits …. « Jacques Séguéla avait encore raison. Je lui ai fait lire les premières épreuves de mon livre. Il me les a renvoyées en me disant que ce n’était pas moi, que ce que j’écrivais ne me ressemblait pas et que d’une certaine manière je me mentais à moi-même. « Qu’est-ce qu’on se fout de ton rapport à la nature, de ton syndrome de Stendhal, de la beauté qui sauve, dans un style littéraire qui ne te correspond pas ? Raconte ton histoire avec tes tripes, avec des larmes de sang. » Rupture, c’est une excuse. Un prétexte. C’est le nom de mon label, de mon agence, de mes librairies, mais c’est une putain d’excuse avant tout. Le logo claque, la sémantique tient la route, je détourne les codes et je me sens en pleine puissance publicitaire. Mais je mens. C’est une mauvaise habitude, une sale habitude même. J’en ai fait un commerce florissant. Mais aujourd’hui j’ai décidé d’arrêter de trouver des excuses à tout et d’essayer de vous expliquer comment la musique, l’art et la beauté ont marqué mon existence. Et, d’une certaine manière, comment la beauté - comme le disait Stendhal - peut être la promesse du bonheur. Quand j’étais môme, je restais des heures allongé sur mon lit à écouter mon père ivre de fatigue gueuler sur ma mère. Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, John Coltrane, puis Michael Jackson: ces mecs-là m’ont sauvé la vie. Quelques années plus tard, me voilà dans la « com » et le « music business », et je parle à d’autres mômes. Pour eux, c’est Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Justice, LCD Soundsystem ou PNL. Chaque génération est pleine de gamins perdus ou laissés pour compte qui ont besoin d’entendre qu’ils ne sont pas seuls et qu’on les écoute. Ils l’entendent au travers des disques qu’on fait, des messages qu’on véhicule et de l’esthétique que l’on essaie de transmettre. Ces mômes sont complètement prêts à changer de putain de chaîne. Ils ont besoin d’une voix. Et cette voix, c’est Rupture. »
