The Great Houses of Cayetana, Duchess of Alba Naty Abascal, Photographs by Ricardo Labougle, Text by Rafael Manzano This publication, which features 220 largeformat photographs, offers us a visual tour of the houses that belong to the Duchess of Alba in Madrid (The Liria Palace), Seville (The Palace of Las Dueñas), Salamanca (The Palace of Monterrey), Ibiza and San Sebastián. Born in 1926, the goddaughter of Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain, the Duchess of Alba holds the world record for the most aristocratic titles. Indeed, her full name is Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva and she is a duchess seven times over, a countess 19 times and a marquesa 23 times. The 86-year-old noble is head of the 530year-old House of Alba, and as such is entitled to ride her horse into Seville Cathedral, and according to protocol does not have to kneel before the Pope. It is said she could walk from the northern tip of Spain to the southernmost point without leaving her native lands. In 1947, the Duchess married Don Pedro Luis Martinez de Irujo y Artacoz, son of the Duke of Sotomayor. The wedding was considered to be the last great feudal wedding in Spain and attracted the attention of the international media. The Duchess has been the subject of much media attention in her native Spain, and is admired for her eccentric and bohemian fashion sense. A famed beauty in her youth, she once famously declared that her style icon was “myself ”.

Designing with Black: Architecture & Interiors Stephen Crafti Daring, dramatic and full of inspirational ideas Stephen Crafti has always been drawn to black houses, irrespective of the materials they are constructed in, be they zinc, timber or simply painted. There is a sense of calm and tranquillity with a black home. Crafti doesn’t live in a black house, but he recently upgraded a 1930’s home: ‘Everything I touched was changed to black, from the timber fences to the timber floorboards’. He even added black curtains and planted black bearded irises in his garden. Using black seemed to unify disparate elements in and around his home. While there are numerous black features in Crafti’s home, his ideal scenario would be to live in a contemporary black house, with black furniture and black walls. And maybe even a garden filled with black plants. This book, showcasing black houses, is the starting point to this goal and will be organized according to the following themes: Black Exteriors; Living in Black; Details of Black; Kitchens & Dining in Black; and In Black And White.

ARCHITECTURE 11
Rural Modern Russell Abraham Modernism crashed into the American consciousness right after the Second World War, although it had existed in the minds and works of American and German-born architects for almost 40 years prior. While it offered a new design paradigm that would transform the urban landscape from New York to New Delhi, modernism was a slow burn for residential architects.
ISBN: 9781864704877 The Images Publishing Group 10 x 10in. 224 pp. 200 col. July 2013 $60.00 Hardcover
The sharp edges and simple geometries were a hard sell for the American design psyche. A group of innovative architects in the USA took Bauhaus modernism and gave it a vernacular face. They borrowed forms from the simple utilitarian buildings found in rural environments and created a new strain of modernism. Russell Abraham dubs this style ‘rural modernism’ - a modern aesthetic with a vernacular palette. The result of several ingenious ideas blended together to create a contemporary, sustainable and highly liveable architecture, these houses respect the past while looking forward to the future. Orienting windows to capture heat in winter and provide sun protection in summer is standard, while other sustainable design features include solar-thermal systems, subterranean heat sinks, geothermal trenches and rainwater collection systems - all of which are incorporated to make the most of the natural resources available in rural settings.

The fourteen gardens presented in this book by landscape architect Ron Herman provide a rich sampling of the work of a man who, in his own words, has been “involved in gardening and plants for most of my life. When I was growing up in Southern California, I worked with my father, who was a nurseryman, horticulturalist, and garden builder.” He later went on to study landscape architecture at UC Berkeley and the University of Kyoto and then began a several decades-long career as one of the most distinguished and celebrated landscape architects in the United States. Heavily influenced by his experiences in Japan, a country he has returned to often, Herman’s gardens are nevertheless an eclectic mix of styles and approaches that reflect his broad view of garden design.

• The first volume to explore the full range of his art, including his work in Europe
• An invaluable resource for museums, collectors and dealers
• Accompanies an exhibition at the Cincinnati Art Museum, Ohio, from June to September 2013
This beautifully illustrated new volume highlights over 80 works by Cincinnati-born American Impressionist Edward Henry Potthast (1857-1927), celebrated for his sunfilled paintings of Americans at leisure. It covers the complete range of his art across different themes and media, from studies to finished works of art, watercolors, pastels, prints, and oil paintings. Together with his famous beach scenes are portrayals of European peasants and agricultural laborers, harbor views, landscapes and portraits, drawn from the Cincinnati Art Museum and other private and public collections. New research, supported by archival photographs and documents, puts Potthast’s paintings in the context of the art and culture of his time, including the rise of middle-class leisure and tourism. In addition an extensive technical study of Potthast’s paintings by chief conservator Per Knutås makes this an invaluable resource for museums, collectors and dealers. Julie Aronson is curator of American Painting, Sculpture and Drawings at Cincinnati Art Museum, and author of Bessie Potter Vonnoh: Sculptor of Women (2008), and Perfect Likeness: European and American Portrait Miniatures from the Cincinnati Art Museum (2006).

Why collect Russian stage designs? Why write about them? Answers may vary, but surely a primary response must be that, quite simply, Russian stage designs are immensely pleasing to the eye. They vibrate, and scintillate with color, texture, and movement. Furthermore, through their daring inventions, Russian artists of the first thirty years of the 20th century transformed, profoundly and permanently, our perception of stage design and hence of the theater. They belonged to an extraordinarily creative generation of impresarios, dancers, actors, patrons, and critics who inspired or at least made a major contribution to the international renaissance of the art of the stage, and in particular areas, e.g. the teaching and performing of ballet, their influence is still present today. Each work presented here is documented as fully as possible, and includes curatorial data, provenance index, and references to relevant published sources, exhibitions; and variants such as copies and preliminary drawings. The catalogue raisonné addresses the issues of attribution, identification of stage production, and date of execution and adduces evidence in the form of bibliographical, archival, and photographic data, expert opinion, and circumstantial evidence in order to support assumptions and conclusions.

William Bouguereau (1825-1905) was a highly important and influential French academic painter, who taught a long succession of gifted students, primarily at the private Académie Julien in Paris. Bouguereau wanted to become a serious history painter and his efforts paid off in 1850 when he won the much coveted Prix de Rome (meaning that the French government paid him to stay in Rome and study art). After his studies in Italy, he established his reputation in Paris as a premier history painter, portraitist, and decorator of churches during the 1850s and 1860s. He was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1876 and remained an important and influential member for 30 years. His large output of Salon paintings was consistently praised by critics, often purchased by the French state, and frequently reproduced in the press. He won numerous awards throughout his career and can be seen as the epitome of the French Academy.

the world’s most famous paintings in the largest and best known museum - they only show feet and shoes With texts in four languages from an outstanding art expert and icon of Mexican literary studies This book won the Printissimo Award 2012 in the category Art, Austria’s award for outstanding print products
In acclaimed photographer Lois Lammerhuber’s pictures, shod feet in the Louvre paintings reveal undreamt-of information about people. The details are not only separate works of art, but also studies on centuries of shoe fashion and an excursion into social history. Almost intimate, the photographs raise the world of feet and footwear to eye level, showing delicate shoes and stout limbs; feet without shoes and shoes without feet. The viewing angle is a special one, not only for art enthusiasts but also for shoe lovers. Raphael, Goya, or Ingres did not produce or design footwear, but they all ‘recorded’ shoes, contributing to a history of footwear and at the same time creating fashion archives of shoes that people stepped out in between 1280 and 1863. In a brilliant discourse, Margo Glantz, an icon of Mexican literary studies, introduces the viewer to original thoughts on painting and footwear design, the history and sociology of shoes. Text in English, German, French & Spanish.

some artistic secret; covered in black silk, with a ribbon recalling lingerie, it reveals on opening a silky burgundy interior, reminiscent of a boudoir, in which the book is softly resting Volume 1 of the Le Louvre Nu/The Louvre Nude series, dealing with the naked body in paintings This book won the Golden Pixel Award, the prestigious Austrian award for groundbreaking print products, in the category coffee-table books
The idea for this book, and its companion volume, was born in the course of a visit through the Louvre, when Catherine Belanger ventured to call the Louvre ‘the biggest brothel in the world’. Jointly with author Jean Galard and photographer Lois Lammerhuber, she selected key paintings spanning five centuries to illustrate the fascinating art of depicting nudity and the artists’ struggle for acceptance of the nude in art and society. Lois Lammerhuber resorts to these ‘models’ to translate them into the language of fashion, nude and advertising photography, reading their body language and interaction in a way reminiscent of artists like Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Horst P. Horst or Herb Ritts - sensual and unexpected. Text in English & French.

In this stunning book, key works illustrate the artistic approach and the representation of the nude in the Western world from 7th century BC to 1897. Lois Lammerhuber detaches the nudity, sensuality and sexuality of the sculptures from the context of their artistic intention, conceiving them as ‘material’ in a fictional photography studio and recreating them in his photographs. The images are accompanied by Jean Galard’s reflections on this approach from an art-historical and philosophical angle. In its design the book is reminiscent of bronze and refers to the haptic character of sculpture. Text in English & French.

The collection includes works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Joan Brown, Viola Frey, Ana Mendieta, Alice Neel, Louise Nevelson, Christina Ramberg, Betye Saar, Kiki Smith, Nancy Spero, and Beatrice Wood among many others. This accessibly written, fully illustrated publication includes ten new essays on women artists since the 1920s. The chief aim is to document and celebrate this unprecedented gift in PAFA’s history. The book breaks new ground in scholarship on its topics, takes risks with interpretation, and uses the broad themes and wide array of artists represented in the collection as a starting point for reflections on the history of the feminist movement, individual artists, and regional identities. Artists from the collection have a strong voice throughout the publication through interviews, writings, and the incorporation of archival materials. The exhibition is projected to travel to four national venues in 2013 and 2014.

Edward Lear’s Alphabet of Nonsense • Published to mark the 200th birthday of Edward Lear • The illustrations are facsimiles of the original 1860 document recently acquired by the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (UK)
• A perfect gift for lovers of Lear’s Nonsense Verse - adult or child Edward Lear, born in 1812, was a British artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned today primarily for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks. Lear produced the illustrated poetry collection Book of Nonsense (1846) for the Earl of Derby’s grandchildren. Lear seems to have begun making nonsense alphabets in the mid-1850s, usually for children of his friends and acquaintances. The present alphabet was created for Ruth Decie. It is one of the most charming of all Lear’s alphabets, typically drawn on sheets of blue writing paper backed with linen. The alphabet was bequeathed to the Ashmolean by a descendant of Ruth Decie, James Farquharson, who died in December 2011. ISBN: 9781854442710 Ashmolean Museum 7.25 x 11.75in. 60 pp. 26 col.

This beautiful facsimile features a short introduction about Edward Lear, written by the Ashmolean curator, Colin Harrison. Following this is a replica of each page of the original publication featuring the letters of the alphabet with the short poem underneath each drawing. This will be accompanied by each poem again, this time written in a more accessible font so that children may read this too. The Ashmolean have utilized this recent acquisition to recreate a stunning classic.

20 ART REFERENCE Pompeii: The Ages of Pompeii Fabrizio Pesando
• A story told through the most fascinating subjects of Pompeii’s history • Magnificent illustrations that turn this series into a unique opportunity to learn everything about the legendary city of Pompeii from close up
ISBN: 9788866481140 24 ORE Cultura 6.5 x 8.5in. 95 pp. 50 col. January 2013 $28.90 Hardcover
Pompeii is one of the great legends of the modern world. The name immediately brings to mind the day in 79 AD when the eruption of Vesuvius put an end to the city’s life. Tragic skeletons and casts of fleeing inhabitants haunt our image of Pompeii. Pointing out that the city already had a very long history when this occurred is therefore not stating the obvious. A select resort for many leading figures of the Roman elite including Cicero - and described by Seneca as one of the most populous towns of the Campania region, Pompeii had been under the influence of the Etruscans and of the Samnites, before coming into the Roman sphere and finally being conquered by Sulla in 89 BC. The passing of ages left its imprint on the evolution not only of painting - the four Pompeian styles but also of architecture and construction techniques. It is fascinating to pick out the resulting variety in a landscape of ruins that appears uniform only at first sight. In addition to recounting the history of Pompeii, this work is designed for the precise purpose of accompanying the reader in the discovery of this variety and these traces, thus transforming their journey into a series of very interesting surprises.
Pompeii: The Art of Loving Cinzia Dal Maso
• An exploration of Pompeii’s history using simple, accessible language • Features illustrations demonstrating the erotic nature of Pompeii, including paintings, wall writings and sculptures
ISBN: 9788866481157 24 ORE Cultura 6.5 x 8.5in. 95 pp. 50 col. January 2013 $28.90 Hardcover
Does Pompeii really deserve its reputation as a city of vice ‘punished’ by the eruption for its sinful ways? Were there really brothels and prostitutes on every corner of its streets? Or was it rather, like so many other towns, simply protected by Venus, with the temple of the goddess of love near the harbor, lots of inscriptions on the walls, and only one whorehouse openly operating as such? Were the numerous and renowned erotic frescoes and graffiti really licentious or do they only appear so to our prudish eyes and Christian morality? What is certain is that the Romans had a less inhibited attitude towards sex than we do. They talked and joked about it with a naturalness that we have lost. In this respect the Pompeians were no more dissolute than any other citizens of the empire. At the same time, however, there was something very particular and odd about the city. The sheer number and variety of sexual references in Pompeii in 79 AD has no parallel in the known Roman world. The possibility that the city was, at least in that period, something more than a simple sea port like so many others, is an intriguing hypothesis and one that the pages of this book explore and illustrate while seeking to preserve the slender thread that still links us to that ancient and vital slice of humanity.

They depict trends such as the growing appreciation of cultural diversity, the changing roles of women, and post-1960s youth culture. Drawing inspiration from the depression-era Farm Security Administration (FSA) photography project, DOCUMERICA photographers created a portrait of America in the early to mid-1970s featuring small Midwestern towns, barrios in the Southwest, and coal mining communities in Appalachia. Their assignments were as varied as African American life in Chicago, urban renewal in Kansas City, commuters in Washington, DC, and migrant farm workers in Colorado.

22 ART REFERENCE Florian Lechner Glass, Light, Space, Sound Klaus Jörg Schönmetzler and Elisabeth von Samsonow, Edited by Peter Schmitt, Foreword by Helmut Ricke
• The first comprehensive documentation of Florian Lechner’s work, through his significant works in an architectural context, free-standing glass sculptures and performances that combine glass, light, movement and sound in a state of flux
ISBN: 9783897903715 Arnoldsche Art Publishers 8.75 x 9.5 in. 208 pp. 150 col., 100 b.&w. January 2013 $85.00 Hardcover
Glass is a threshold material, serving as both a divider and an opening, for one can always see what is behind it. This is a unique phenomenon and it is confounding, as well as being alluring and enhancing, making the space breathe. Florian Lechner has dedicated himself to this unique material. He explores its substance and formal possibilities through architectural works and sculptural objects. He also experiments with it in combination with the media of light, sound and movement. For him it is essential to forge his work single-handedly, because only unrestricted personal creative input and the development of one’s own, often innovative ways of working can ensure an authentic result. However, the concepts behind his works and their spiritual roots are always more important to him than the process of their creation. Intellectual significance defines Florian Lechner as an artist. He takes an intellectual and philosophically motivated approach, but the result is always a sensory experience and never dominated by dry theory. Text in English & German.

Born in 1942, Narcissus Quagliata studied painting and graphics in Rome and completed his studies at the Art Institute of San Francisco. Very early on, he discovered glass as the most suitable material with which to express himself artistically, focusing in particular on the phenomenon of light and its interplay with colored glass. In cooperation with industry, Quagliata experimented at an early stage with the development of new forms and applications of glass. Today Narcissus Quagliata is considered one of the most significant glass artists, drawing worldwide attention through his spectacular works in public spaces, such as the Taiwan Dome of Light, the largest illuminated glass ceiling in the world, which forms the roof of the subway station in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The construction stretches across an approximately 30-meter-wide space. His glass dome in the Santa Maria degli Angeli church, built by Michelangelo within the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, is equally well known. It provides colorful illumination for the famous entry rotunda of the basilica.

They are so popular that even designers like Marc Jacobs have used tattoo designs on scarves and handbags for Louis Vuitton
A short stroll up Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, reveals a veritable walking art gallery with flesh as medium. Hipsters sit on the stoops of brownstones or on the benches outside cafés and restaurants showing off their ink. Others whizz by on their fixed gear bicycles flashing heavily-detailed designs on calves or messages on knuckles. In nearby McCarren Park, young women loll about on the grass in bikinis. Many show off full back pieces, chest pieces, or sleeves - sometimes all three. Their male friends have equally elaborate etchings on arms, legs and torso... This is Generation Ink, the generation of 20-somethings who regard tattoos as a form of self-expression and a memento of personal freedom. Photographed in Williamsburg by Paul Nathan, this collection of black and white studio portraits is an unsentimental snapshot of a moment in time.

Photographer Paul Nathan has documented New York’s best-dressed dogs, their owners, and the couturiers who design their madeto-order outfits. While socializing with the four-legged, Nathan attended ‘pawties’, ‘puptials,’ and ‘barkmitzvahs’. He photographed married dogs who get around in yellow cabs wearing matching outfits and visited the homes of doggie moms and dads with walk-in closets for their ‘fur children’ filled with enough designer outfits to rival any New York fashionista. And finally he chose fifteen of the most fashionable dogs to invite to his studio along with their favorite couture outfits to pose for this book. The result is a giddily glamorous romp through New York’s ‘Doggie World’ where the city’s most fashionable mutts get dressed to the nines even for a walk around the block.

Madame Grès Sculptural Fashion Olivier Saillard
• This is the first monograph of her extraordinary work
• Accompanies an exhibition at the MoMu Fashion Museum, Province of Antwerp from September - February 2013
A remarkable couturier, with a career spanning half a century, Madame Alix Grès (1903-1993) was known for using delicate pleats which turned ordinary fabric into Grecian-style sculptures. Madame Grès launched her design house under the name Grès in Paris in 1942. Formally trained as a sculptress, she produced haute couture designs for an array of fashionable women, including the Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Dolores del Río. Her signature was cut-outs on gowns that made exposed skin part of the design, yet still had a classical, sophisticated feel. She was renowned for being the last of the haute couture houses to establish a ready-to-wear line.

30 DESIGN Cycle The Art and Science of Building a Bicycle Peter Holmes à Court
• Explores the science of bicycle design: why weight and geometry matter, why certain materials are used, and why bikes have been built in virtually the same way for more than a hundred years
In 2011 an Australian businessman took a sabbatical to show Europe to his children. Along the way he stumbled on a 50-year-old factory that creates custom fitted cycles for elite riders and aspiring amateurs. For four months Peter Holmes à Court photographed every stage of the design and fabrication process. He finished with a sleek racing bike, 22,000 photos, and most importantly, a powerful story about dedicated artisans at work. In Cycle, Holmes à Court celebrates craftsmanship through stunning photography that captures each step of the custom bike-building process. He shows how these skilled craftspeople work within millimeters and milligrams, using steel and high tech materials, to create highly functional machines that are also objects of beauty, all the while maintaining the traditional values of personal care and attention to detail.

Furniture by Architects Where Form Meets Function Edited by Beth Browne Furniture by Architects features an eclectic range of extraordinary and eyecatching furniture designs by leading contemporary architects. Following the tradition of great masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, these top architects and designers have extended their talents to create beautiful and unusual furniture pieces and collections. The furniture pieces showcased in this book include tables, chairs, sofas, benches, cabinets, shelving and lighting fixtures as well as some unique oneoff pieces. The featured styles range from futuristic to classical, and geometric to organic, covering the full spectrum of contemporary furniture design. Materials used range from state-of-the-art plastics and the best quality timber to found objects and recycled metals. The book explores why, historically, so many iconic furniture pieces have been designed by architects. Essentially, the same fundamental principles used for designing extraordinary buildings can be applied at a much smaller scale to create outstanding pieces of furniture, which embrace form and function to become highly collectable objects of art. Furniture by Architects will appeal to collectors and creators of designer and custom furniture, as well as architects, interior designers and everyone with an interest in high-quality design.

• An informative guide to Russian Decorative Arts and their historical provenances • Covers a wide range of crafts including Fabergé, jewelry, woodwork, hardstone, glass and porcelain, as well as imperial awards
ISBN: 9781851497225 Antique Collectors’ Club 9.25 x 11.75in. 304 pp. 300 col. April 2013 $89.50 Hardcover
Russia’s last great Imperial celebration took place at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg with the lavish ball of 1913 celebrating 300 years of Romanov rule. The finest gowns, jewels, snuff boxes, porcelain and silver tableware of the Tsarist era were ostentatiously displayed then for the last time. The outbreak of World War I in 1914 and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 brought such flamboyance to an end. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia’s nouveau riche have been desperate to track down and buy back their lost heritage. Works by jewelers and silversmiths to the Tsars are particularly sought after today as status symbols, with the market for pre-revolutionary decorative arts touching a wide audience - from the curators at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, to the pre-dawn bargain hunters at the Paris flea markets. Russian Decorative Arts offers an introductory guide to porcelain, glass, silver, Tula work and other base metals, orders and decorations, jewelry, objects of virtue, Fabergé, lapidary, woodwork and walrus ivory. Each topic is covered in an illustrated chapter introducing the techniques, its specific Russian characteristics and an overview of the principle makers.

The first volume in the series on Twentieth-Century Decorative and Applied Arts is dedicated to what is known in Italy as ‘Stile Liberty’, or Liberty style. Flowers, ribbons, garlands, dragonflies, butterflies and graceful young women dancing, followed by a host of curvilinear, sinuous and spiralling forms: this was Liberty, the new style that at the dawn of the twentieth century, by creating a rupture with traditional artistic forms, spread throughout Europe. Although the movement was short-lived, the First International Exposition of Modern Decorative Arts held in Turin in 1902 showed that it numbered excellent interpreters in every single field. Chini’s ceramic works, furniture designed by Quarti and Basile, Mazzucotelli’s wrought iron objects, glass-work by Buffa and Cambellotti: pieces that are now much sought after by private collectors and museums.

Nurtured by the aesthetic-social critique undertaken by the British Arts and Crafts Movement, Art Nouveau contrasted the heaviness of mechanical production with the ingenious elegance of forms inspired by pure and alluring lines, based on plant forms. Enlivened by nostalgic fin de siècle decadence, the movement’s unique style was built upon the transposition of industrial materials and techniques into the pristine elegance of the vernacular handicraft tradition. The wealth of images in this book illustrate the artists’ approach, and the objects themselves, as well as the birth and evolution of Art Nouveau in the countries that contributed most to the success of this new aesthetic France, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, United States, etc.

Reine Sammut Mediterranean Cuisine Text by Anne Garabedian, Photographs by Jean-Philippe Garabedian An authentic Provençal cooking class, as if you were really there! Twelve cooking classes, using twelve fresh products, creating menus with asparagus, cuttlefish, octopus & squid, purple artichoke, mussels, spices, zucchini, tomatoes, sardines, potatoes, cooking in foil, stuffings, and a menu for a special occasion. Reine Sammut takes us into her kitchen and her living space, introduces us to her favorite products and suppliers. For each recipe she shows us the main steps, the tips and techniques. Reine Sammut arrived in Provence when she was 14. She really started loving and preparing Provençal food when she met her husband and his family and started to discover the rest of the Mediterranean: Tunisia, Malta, Sicily. She started to work at the Fenière de Lourmarin alongside Claudette, her husband’s mother. Little by little she acquired the knowledge and techniques to be able to cook fish, couscous, lasagna, pastries... Claudette can pass the restaurant to her daughter-in-law. Every Thursday Reine opens her kitchen and gives cooking lessons at the Cour de la Ferme. Apparently her cooking classes are a powerful anti-depressant! Anne Garabedian was born in the kitchen (figuratively speaking!). Her grandfather was a pastry-chef and when she was 10 she was already discovering and copying out her great grandmother’s recipes. Very early on, she tried all sorts of sweet recipes and tested them out on her family, with some successful and some less so. Much later she learned how to make taramasalata, sweet bread, ravioli: they were her first cooking lessons and her first reportage. Jean-Philippe Garabedian is a photographer and a cook. During the cooking classes he manages to overcome his desire to take up a whisk or a ladle and hold onto his camera lens instead...

Finally, the guide describes the wines, which are evaluated by the celebrated method of Bicchieri, or glasses, ranging from one to a maximum of Tre Bicchieri.

autobiography Angela’s Ashes continues to sell incredibly well since its publication in 1996 The first printing of Through Irish Eyes was in 1998 The only photography book to document the world of Limerick, Ireland, as lived by families during the time of the McCourts
Angela’s Ashes is one of the greatest memoirs of our age, as author Frank McCourt recounts a childhood of poverty and pain in Limerick, Ireland during the 1930s and 40s. Since its release in 1996, readers have longed to know this world better, and it is with the publication of Through Irish Eyes, that they can see first-hand just how the other half lived. Through a beautifully curated collection of archival photographs presented alongside detailed captions and literary quotes, Through Irish Eyes shows us a world that few who did not live it have ever known. Here we see the beautiful and rugged landscape of the countryside juxtaposed with the darkness of urban poverty in the city’s underside. We are shown a way of life that no longer exists, but is forever captured in these unsentimental images of the Irish way, its people and their struggles, and their small and hard-wrought joys. Malachy McCourt, born 1931, is an IrishAmerican actor, writer, and politician. The author of A Monk Swimming and Bringing Him My Song, he is the younger brother of Frank McCourt.

This new volume, and its accompanying microsite, is the first scholarly publication of the Schöner Sammelband, a collection of maps and notes made by the Nuremberg astronomer and mathematician Johannes Schöner (d. 1543), including the original World Maps made by Martin Waldseemüller, a star chart by Dürer, and a set of celestial globe gores of Schöner’s design. The survival of Schöner’s notebooks and annotations is unique in the history of cartography; not only do they show his thinking about theoretical and practical geography, but they also reveal the art of mapmaking during his lifetime. Author John Hessler discusses Schöner’s opinions on the then canonical geography of Ptolemy, and his reaction to the new discoveries of Columbus and Vespucci. The notebooks offer an unprecedented insight into an age when accepted scientific and geographic principles fell away.

The reader can then follow the interaction between the fictional character, the little pig Joanna, and the artist. A train and its numerous passengers become the setting for this beautifully illustrated narrative. As the story unfolds, Joanna has many requests to make to her creator: from her clothing (that she would prefer to be stripey), to catching up with another train to see who could possibly be inside it. By the end of this delightful story where the author even teases Joanna - drawing a big bad wolf and a huge monster! - Joanna is finally content when she gets the right companion to spend the rest of the trip with. Born in Basel in 1969, Kathrin Schärer has studied as an art teacher at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Basel, Switzerland. In 2012 she was shortlisted for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

For Those About to Power Abdul Vas ISBN: 9788415253525 The first monograph by Abdul Vas, For Those About to Power, surveys most of the work that the artist has created during his dedication to AC/DC, the Australian rock group. The paintings, drawings, collages, and murals that Vas has produced over a decade are the result of his submersion into a subculture whose nonlinear, hallucinatory aesthetic seems an attempt to mimic AC/DC’s entirely subjective and frenzied universe of contemporary mythology characterized by rebellion, pleasure, and power.

ISBN: 9781873830123
Professor Kenneth McConkey
Atelier Books 9 x 11in. 240 pp. 300 col. February 2013 $75.00 Hardcover
In telling the story of Clausen’s life and career, McConkey unveils an artist of unusual integrity and singleness of purpose. At no time in his career of sixty years did Clausen settle into a formula and produce what he knew to be popular. The famous naturalist paintings of the early years, individual and distinctive despite their indebtedness to Millet and Bastien-Lepage, later become more colorful and the forms are diffused by light. Clausen emerges as an artist of real and substantial achievement.

Folinsbee Considered Kirsten M. Jensen
ISBN: 9781555953904
John Fulton Folinsbee was a very successful artist virtually from the time he started painting, fresh out of school, in 1915. By the 1930s he was considered one of the leading artists of his generation along with names such as Leon Kroll and Thomas Hart Benton. By the 1950s however, Folinsbee’s career was in commercial decline and his work has been overlooked by art critics and historians through most of the rest of the 20th Century. It is an a regional (New Hope) Impressionist that he is still best known, though his transition to an Expressionist style is perhaps the most intriguing and least explored of the large body of work he created right up to his death in 1972.

The fresco The School of Athens in the Vatican stages a scene with 58 characters, among whom the ancient world’s most famous thinkers can be identified. This book presents the assorted theories of who’s who in the fresco and examines the secrets of the great work.
The title of the masterwork painted by Titian, Sacred and Profane Love, is of little help in solving the mystery surrounding the painting. It is unquestionably a celebration of love, but what is the relationship between the woman dressed in white and the woman who is naked?

Van Eyck: The Arnolfini Portrait
Veronese: The Wedding at Cana
Stefano Zuffi
Marco Carminati
What makes The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck one of the best-known works of art in the world? What mystery do we happen upon when we tiptoe into the bridal chamber? Within the modest dimensions of an “intimate” scene, the artist manages to invite us almost physically into the room.
Paolo Veronese’s dazzling painting The Wedding at Cana was commissioned to be hung in the refectory of the Benedictine monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Veronese transforms a religious scene into a wordly event, veering from realism to the fantastical, in a virtuoso display of his own vision of art and life.

ISBN: 9781907804212 GILES 8.5 x 8.5in. 176 pp 200 col. March 2013 $24.95 Paperback
Period and one of the signature paintings in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s renowned collection This new volume offers a highly focused examination of La Vie, accompanied by a more expansive reading of its meaning in a broad cultural context Published on the occasion of the exhibition Picasso La Vie and the Mysteries of Life held at the Cleveland Museum of Art, December 2012 - April 2013, and Picasso Musume, Barcelona, October 10, 2013 to January 19, 2014
Few artistic moments are as instantly recognizable as Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period, and from it La Vie (Life) has emerged as the culminating masterpiece. This book not only examines La Vie’s history and physical structure in unprecedented detail but also uses the painting as the touchstone for exploring a broad array of issues vital to modernist culture of the 19th and 20th centuries. Picasso and the Mysteries of Life uses new scientific studies of La Vie to examine the artist’s working method and the painting’s enigmatic subject. Author William H. Robinson reconstructs the relationship between the painting’s complex symbolism and the process of its creation, and in so doing breaks new ground in understanding the sources of Picasso’s fertile imagination and his relationship to contemporary artists.

ISBN: 9783716517437
Photographer Luca Zanier casts a look behind the curtains of the energy industry. His images open the doors to hidden universes, usually inaccessible to the public, highly protected as they are against accidents and terrorism. Abandoned worlds of concrete and steel reveal themselves to us, cathedrals of the modern age, temples of an energy-devouring society that radiate a cold logic. His images of imposing halls, endless corridors, massive floodgates and cryptic signs are as intimidating as they are fascinating.

GARDENS | DESIGN 73
Gertrude Jekyll: Her Art Restored at Upton Grey Rosamund Wallinger Gertrude Jekyll was perhaps the most important British garden designer of the 20th century. She famously argued that gardening ought to be considered a Fine Art, highlighting that it becomes a point of honor to be always striving for the best. This volume examines Jekyll’s work at Manor House, Upton Grey in Hampshire, offering an insight into her eclectic, imaginative, and inspiring art. Designed between 1908 and 1909, and once maintained by as many as nine gardeners, the garden fell into disrepair by the second half of the twentieth century, before a full and accurate restoration was carried out in the early 1980s.

Gertrude Jekyll: Her Art Restored at Upton Grey presents a visual record of the garden’s plants and layout, with original plans and photographs, as well as beautiful images of the garden taken since its restoration. There is also a fascinating chapter about Miss Jekyll’s discovery, admiration and use of Mediterranean plants. The book succeeds in illustrating exactly why Jekyll was so admired in her lifetime and why she continues to inspire and influence gardeners today.
Arts and Crafts Book Covers Malcolm Haslam Before the age of the paper book jacket, publishers issued their books in cloth-covered boards, which were stamped with designs in golf leaf and color. From around 1860, artists of the Arts and Crafts movement supplied many of the best designs. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris and Walter Crane led the way, and they were followed in the 1890s by Laurence Housman, Charles Ricketts and Selwyn Image, among others. Prominent Arts and Crafts architects, such as Philip Webb and C.F.A. Voysey, also designed book covers.

Malcolm Haslam explores this uncharted territory, investigating not only the designs and designers, but the publishers and binders as well. He introduces some artists, little known today, whose designs filled the bookshops and bookshelves of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, and he shows how designers in Europe and America were influenced by British book covers decorated in the Arts and Crafts style. Ninety-nine of the best covers are illustrated and described, and details are given of over fifty Arts and Crafts designers who worked in commercial book production, and their marks and monograms are shown.

• 1980s fashion and culture, as seen on the deeply influential pages of BLITZ, the pioneering ‘80s style magazine
In London at the start of the 1980s, three new style magazines emerged to define an era. It was a time of change: after Punk, before the digital age, and at the dawn of a hedonistic club scene that saw the birth of the New Romantics. On the pages of BLITZ, The Face and i-D, a new breed of young iconoclasts hoped to inspire revolution. As BLITZ magazine’s fashion editor from 1982-87, Iain R. Webb was at the center of this world.

Fashion is “fashionable”. This magnificent book shows the development that the big fashion brands such as Chanel and Luis Vuitton have undergone over the last 30 years. Since the eighties of the past century, every fashion house has had its own art director. This has shifted focus from pure clothing towards a ‘Total Look’: a clear visual style that reflects the image of the fashion brand. This development has made fashion accessible for a much larger audience. Graphic design, architecture, shop design, websites and movies create the total image of a brand. Fashion is everywhere, making Couture Graphique a magnificent visual book. The layout and the design of this book has been done by Paul Boudens, an art director who works together with designers such as Martin Margiela and Walter van Beirendonck.

Van Gansbeke enjoys the diversity of the seasons and celebrates every moment of the year by bringing a part of nature into the home decor.

She’ll hand you ideas for every room in your home. With an emphasis on found or garden-grown materials, simplicity and re-use rather than expensive shop-bought materials or timeconsuming, difficult arrangements. Plants and fresh flowers always add a unique touch of natural beauty and color to the home, but there’s a special satisfaction in creating a lovely arrangement with flowers and plants that you’ve grown yourself. Even if you are not the most handy or craft-minded people, you won’t be able to resist trying your hand at some of these projects. They are simply too beautiful and too clever.

Caste and Kinship in a Modern Hindu Society Mark Pickett ISBN: 9789745241367 This study examines the anthropology of caste and of Hindu society more generally. Specifically, it sets out to examine the relationship of caste to both kinship and kingship in the society of the Newars of the Kathmandu Valley, in the hope that it will shed light on both Newar society in particular and South Asian societies in general. The author chose a littleknown caste of artisans in the Kathmandu Valley as the focus of his study of modern Hindu kinship and kingship and how caste results from the tensions between these two social forces. This title is an important contribution for academic and lay readers with focus on Hindu social structures.

The houses in The Natural Home are all inhabited by people with a big love for their natural surroundings and it also treats the own character of different kinds of “fair trade” building materials and interior elements, such as wood, stone, glass or recycled materials.

A collection of independent stories, this book also outlines the unique progression between the different movements, exciting and enlightening the reader about the most magnificent period of art the world has ever known.

STOP PRESS 109 Smoking Kids
ISBN: 9789460581113
Frieke Janssens Two years ago, Belgian photographer Frieke Janssens came across a video of a two-year-old Indonesian child chain smoking, totaling, on average, two packs a day. Recognizing the many socio-cultural differences between the East and the West, the artist’s plan to confront the Western viewer with such conflicting, surreal images grew and she departed on her new artistic mission. Smoking Kids is the title of Frieke Janssens’ photographic project. Fifteen children aged between four and nine pose in a startling adult way in front of the camera, each seemingly smoking a cigarette, cigar or pipe (which in reality has been skilfully Photoshopped into place).
