“UNESCO, the quintessential soft power organization of the United Nations and my professional home for 15 years, possesses one of the most exquisite and diverse art collections of the entire United Nations at its headquarters in Paris. Almost 300 works, just a part of the entire collection, are captured in this splendid artistic book by Austrian star photographer Lois Lammerhuber. Unencumbered by any thematic constraints includes all kinds of styles and forms of expressions, ‘Art for Peace’ was neither planned nor curated by anyone. It came about through gifts from artists, member states and personalities who wanted to support the UNESCO mandate of building the defences of peace in the minds of men.” Hans - Retired diplomat and art collector, Paris, France.

“I'm holding Michael Mahalchicks brand new book Body Work. It is 320 pages of awesomeness. Page after page of color photographs documenting his performance art, sculpture and dance, plus writing by friends and collaborators and an oral history narrated by Michael was so funny it brought tears to my eyes.” Anke - Artist, Brooklyn, New York.

“History puts everything in its place. The ‘Last Summer of Lithuania’ marks the last days before the disaster, or, as Ignas Šeinius would say, before the ‘red flood.’ It was interesting to look at this period from a different angle. And maybe even learn about my ‘relative’ Zenonas Ivinskis, quoted several times in the book. Should I look in the archives for a possible connection to him?” Martynas – Entrepreneur-Artist, Vilnius, Lithuania.

“This book is like magic! In 1976, an Italian journalist living in Hong Kong was warned by a fortune teller not to fly in 1993. This book documents his year-long journey as he continues to work and travel throughout Asia by land and by sea. It is rich in history, colorful stories from the locals and continued visits to shamans and fortune tellers wherever he goes. It's a wonderful adventure and a fun read!” Autumn – Massage Therapist and an Interior Designer, Manhattan, New York.
