Islamic Architecture of Deccan India George Michell & Helen Philon; photography by Antonio Martinelli l
l
ISBN: 9781851498611 ACC Art Books 330 x 247mm. 416pp., 267 col. April 2018 £55.00, Hardback
One of the first in-depth studies on the Deccan: a major survey on unpublished Islamic buildings Stunningly illustrated, featuring high-quality, full-colour photographs of palaces, mosques and tombs, taken by Antonio Martinelli, as well as architectural plans for almost every featured building
The buildings erected in the Deccan region of India belonged to a number of pre-Mughal kingdoms that reigned in the Deccan from the middle of the 14th century onwards. General publications on Indian Islamic architecture usually devote a single chapter to the Deccan. Even specialist monographs can only cover a portion of the region, due to the sheer number of sites. While it is impossible to encompass the full breadth of the subject in a single volume, this book aims to embrace the visual diversity of the Deccan without sacrificing the rigour of academic study. Structures of historical or architectural significance are placed in their context, as the authors discuss building typologies, civic facilities and ornamental techniques, from plaster and carved stone to glazed tiles and mural painting. A chapter is dedicated to each principal Deccan site, interweaving the rise and fall of these cities with a pictorial journey through their ruins, and each building is accompanied by an overhead plan view.

2 ARCHITECTURE
A house of national importance, which has hosted English monarchs and nobility from the Jacobean period to the present day, is making itself publicly accessible for the first time Raynham Hall has been the seat of the politically and culturally significant Townshend family for nearly 400 years, and is one of the earliest examples of neo-Palladian architecture in England, boasting exquisite furniture and interiors redesigned by William Kent
On the eve of its 400th anniversary, Raynham Hall is experiencing a renaissance. The present Marquess and Marchioness Townshend are breathing new life into this ancient family house, which has been passed down through generation after generation, and are sharing its treasures with the public for the first time. As one of the earliest examples of neo-Palladian architecture in England, and with significant William Kent interiors, Raynham Hall is now the focal point of an entire book devoted to its evolution as a splendid country house and as the seat of one of England’s most important families. This book serves as the first comprehensive survey of the house, its history, its evolution, and divulges the history of the Townshend family, whose impact on British politics has been felt since before the sixteen hundreds.
Paris. Île de la Cité 2040 Philippe Bélaval, Dominique Perrault l
An impressive rethinking of the core of Paris by star architect Dominique Perrault
The historic centre of Paris, the Ile de la Cité, is notably home to the Hôtel-Dieu hospital, NotreDame cathedral, Saint-Chapelle, the Palais de justice law court and the flower market. The core of Paris remains, however, largely unknown. In December 2015, Dominique Perrault, architect of the Bibliothèque nationale de France on the François-Mitterrand and the renovation of the Dufour Pavilion at the Château de Versailles, and Philippe Bélaval, president of the Centre des monuments nationaux, presented a reflection on rethinking the Ile de la Cité with a timeline of 2040. How can this UNESCO World Heritage Site, abandoned by Parisians, be modernised and acquire a breath of life and mobility? With its rich collection of archival documents, engravings, maps and photographs, the book highlights the island’s various renovation and redevelopment projects imagined throughout history, while questioning its current role. To integrate this exceptional site into the city of tomorrow, Dominique Perrault and Philippe Bélaval have imagined 35 proposals that give the island back a central place, notably thanks to the promotion of its exceptional heritage, a revamping of the circulation between its different centres of gravity and the development of its substrata and its foundations as well as its riverside paths.

Archigram - The Book
Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, Ron Herron, David Greene and Michael Webb; with essays by Reyner Banham, Martin Pawley and Michael Sorkin l
Contributions from all Archigram members, and essays by critics writing then and now
Archigram comprised Warren Chalk (1927-88), Peter Cook (1936-), Dennis Crompton (1935-), David Greene (1937-), Ron Herron (1930-94), and Michael Webb (1937-). Together, in the 1960s and early 1970s, they envisioned the future of architecture in ways that enthralled a generation. In an era defined by the space race, they developed a ‘high-tech’, lightweight, infra-structural approach that stretched far beyond known technologies or contemporary realities. They devised autonomous dwellings and focused on survival technology; they experimented with mega structures and modular construction systems; they explored mobility through the environment, and the use of portable living capsules: all through the medium of an incredible series of drawings and models. Archigram’s influence has been profound and enduring. They gave the High-tech movement its impetus; they inspired architects such as Renzo Piano and Norman Foster; and they laid the ground for the design of buildings such as the Pompidou Centre. This book catalogues Archigram’s activities over fourteen years, together with commentaries by the architects and critics writing then and now. Edited and designed by Archigram member Dennis Crompton, it has been 40 years in the making.

Demonstrates how key architects across Britain and Ireland are blending contemporary design practices with traditional vernacular buildings Features an array of award-winning and highly commended projects
Climate, landscape and local resources guide House design in Britain and Ireland just as much as the centuries-old traditions that have influenced architectural shape and form. Today’s best-known and emerging architects interpret their briefs with imaginative flair: they are transforming houses for the next generation of families by blending their renewed vigour for a local aesthetic with new materials and trends. Many of the new houses featured in British + Irish Modern reflect the architect’s focus on redefining local expectations for form by beautifully juxtaposing the traditional with contemporary structures, thus forging a new vernacular. Architects across this region are wholeheartedly seeking opportunities to re-use existing structures in myriad ways, resulting in surprising and remarkably unique renditions of old houses and buildings made new. British + Irish Modern reveals a rich array of works that showcase how architecture in Britain and Ireland today has much to teach the world about creative, high-calibre design, innovative application of materials, and cautious but clever reliance on resources.

Country Houses
The Architecture of Mark P. Finlay Edited by Gina Tsarouhas l
Features an autobiographical account of Connecticut-based architect Mark P. Finlay’s heritage and historic overview of his 30-year design practice
What sort of home would you create for yourself if you could build whatever you wanted - if money, as they say, were no object? Over the course of his firm’s 30-year history, American architect Mark P. Finlay has been in the rare, privileged position of helping clients answer that very question. Designing dream homes for some of America’s wealthiest and most sophisticated families - people not only of great means but also of tremendous taste - Finlay creates properties that manage to find intimacy in even the grandest of spaces and grandeur in their intimate moments. Finlay works in the United States’ most storied pastoral locations - coastal New England, Virginia horse country, the Rocky Mountains, the South Carolina lowlands - making homes that lay lightly on the land no matter their size. Whether historic restorations or ground-up constructions, his attention to detail and focus on fine craftsmanship make the buildings look and feel as if they’ve lived on their sites for centuries.

Contemporary Japanese Houses Zhao Xiang l
A reference book designed to showcase the immense variety of modern Japanese architecture
Over forty projects showcase the immense variety among Japanese detached houses constructed over the past three years. Some of these houses are designed around the concept of ‘intermediate space’ featuring courtyards, landscapes, and tearooms. Others take ‘how to respond to the environment’ as the design theme, employing green building techniques and outdoor insulation, etc; while still others are inspired by the question of ‘how to implement one’s lifestyle’, focusing on urban housing, family reconstitution, and variability. Readers will learn about the meaning of and the story behind these designs through project descriptions, experiencing the conciseness, which defines Japanese house design. In addition to this, Professor Zhao Xiang from Fukuoka University discusses the reasons for this diversity. His informative description of architecture and design theory will help the reader understand the methods behind Japanese house creation, and this book also includes useful reference materials, which can be used as a basis for new houses in the Japanese style.

Includes projects divided into key themes, such as green façades, outdoor and indoor green walls, and roof gardens Illustrates more than 45 innovative case studies, which cover a range of topics and technical applications, such as current trends, environmental benefits, classification and planting forms, site analysis, design and planning, installation, and maintenance
In the 21st century the architects and designers of urban spaces face great challenges to integrate nature in order to transform ‘cement forests’ into ‘forest cities’. Perhaps the best solution is to go green with vertical landscapes. More than just a decorative trend, this is a means of bringing life and greenery into metropolitan areas by using different framing systems to create compositions of plant life and adapt them to diverse settings, including offices, factories, parking lots, hotels, and installations within larger parks. Enriched by the reflections of the inventive protagonists of this fertile new aesthetic, Going Green with Vertical Landscapes is organised by theme and canvases early experiments conducted by famous design companies such as Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN), Fytogreen Australia and RYUICHI ASHIZAWA ARCHITECTS & associates. All of these projects combine man-made materials, recent technologies, and diverse types of vegetation to conquer the vertical dimension.

If Architecture is a Language, Then a Building is a Story Eliezer Armon
“The difference between inspirational stories to the ones lacking inspiration often depends on the order the storyteller chooses to place his creation. In this sense, not only does this book represent a series of architect Eli Armon’s architectural achievements, but also provides a statement on his work in retrospect by attempting a story narrative that looks at the tale of creation. Thus, a new creation is formed, designed by choosing the picture angle, by editing the order of the pictures, and by writing words that interlace into a melody of structure and creation. Armon’s lyrical and philosophical points of view add another dimension to his architectural works that have created a texture of inspiration spots and have already turned into Places throughout our country.” Abridged text, from the Introduction. This unique monograph delves into intriguing and beguiling architectural works by Eliezer Armon. Inspired by images from Israel and its landscape, worldwide cultures, and the martial arts, Armon’s multidisciplinary and unconventional professional approach to architecture sees in the architectural planning the materialisation of views, existential concepts, circles of life and faith, as one united and multifaceted work. His work is that of a curious researcher. It sprouts from biblical sources, the Hebrew letters, Jewish tradition and Kabbalah.

Hotel and Resort Design Habita Architects Habita Architects l
Renowned Thai architecture and planning firm focused on modern works that fuse contemporary elements with regional, traditional motifs
Habita Architects is a visionary Thai architectural design firm whose opus of work over several decades has grown into a collective of projects of various sizes and scales. Shown throughout in fullcolour photography, these pages explain Habita’s approach to luxury resort design, which is apparent in the well-integrated architecture and interior designs of the firm’s projects, stretching throughout Thailand and neighbouring countries. Fully illustrated in sumptuous detail, Hotel and Resort Design showcases the combination of the natural and built environments as a delicate entity with its own character, history, and future. Habita details how technology and innovation marry with the site and overall landscape, and how it’s the site’s spatial surroundings that ultimately determines whether the accommodation is perched on the side of a rain-forested valley, suspended above an atoll lagoon, or set back at the rear of a tranquil paddy field. Expertise in both historic Thai architecture and conventional Modernist pedagogy provides work that delivers a guest experience inspired by the natural environment and especially the culture of that place. The synergy of Habita’s work results in a thoughtfulness towards heritage and a consciously considered approach towards innovation.

This practice has recently completed the Russian Orthodox Spiritual and Cultural Center in Paris (France), the headquarters of L Oréal Group in Clichy (France), the headquarters of Unilever group in Rueil-Malmaison (France), the Center for Arts of the International School of Geneva (Switzerland), the Cultural Center of Daejeon (South Korea), the London headquarters of Google and JCDecaux (United Kingdom), the Ferrari Sporting Management Center (Formula 1) in Maranello (Italy), a Convention and Exhibition Center in São Paulo (Brazil), and an ecological park in Baku (Azerbaijan) for the 2015 European Games. In these projects the design always takes into account landscaping, lighting, materials, and finishes, while being respectful of the local and historic context of the site. Showcasing projects throughout the book with rich, full-colour images, detailed plans, and informative texts, this monograph is a musthave for any professional design collection.

Quinnipiac University
Four Decades | Three Campuses | Two Presidents | One Architect Jefferson B. Riley, FAIA l
Set out with an overview of the progressive work across four decades of dedication, with thorough and thought-provoking discussions of master plans, purchase and renovation, design philosophies, budgets, awards, future scope, and other small projects
The year was 1977, and Quinnipiac College was forming a new campus in Hamden, Connecticut. Chance would bring the author and the place together, and for the next forty years Jefferson B. Riley would be Quinnipiac’s architect, designing over a hundred renovations, additions, and new buildings on the three separate campuses that now comprise Quinnipiac University. The University thus became Riley’s devotion, vigorously so after the arrival of Dr. John L. Lahey in 1987 who, as its eighth president, personally put Quinnipiac University on its path to national prominence. Riley’s work has not only helped to give Quinnipiac roots but also wings. Here, then, is a comprehensive architectural account of Quinnipiac from 1977 to 2017. This is a comprehensive and stunning new architecture monograph on Centerbrook’s work on Quinnipiac University. Highly illustrated throughout, the project’s development is charted across four decades.

Explores the strategies employed by innovative architects and designers that make both the residential environment and the community as a whole ‘smart’ Includes several critical and informative essays by noted scholar and academic, Professor Avi Friedman
The term ‘smart’ in reference to homes and communities describes places whose function is related to or affected by information technology. Designers and planners are paying significant attention to the design of dwellings and neighbourhoods and are considering new economic realities. Integration of innovative digital appliances is also helping to foster economic sustainability for future generations. Avi Friedman, Professor of Architecture at McGill University in Montreal, examines these concepts and their applications through several revealing essays, which are illustrated with lavish full-colour photography and more, through a selection of case studies from around the globe. The text investigates several key topics, namely the correlations between the built and the natural environments; issues of mobility and transportation; the mixing of amenities and residences; district heating and other energy efficiencies; planning for green open space while considering the residents’ lifestyle and many more. The principles of heritage conservation are also shown within communities, where social, economic, and environmental issues are all present.

Includes an insightful essay written by scholar and expert, Dr Riichi Miyake Showcases many of Shigeru Ban’s works that are truly unique, such as the Paper Log Houses and the Wall-less House, and the Cardboard Cathedral
This richly illustrated monograph delves into the innovative output of one of the world’s most prolific international design and architecture practitioners, Tokyo-based Shigeru Ban. The book features an array of innovative projects, from commercial and residential innovation strategies to humanitarian works, such as emergency shelters made from paper and modular shelters for earthquake victims. Shigeru Ban’s visionary residential design philosophies encompass timber hybrid structures, including a building constructed from cardboard tubes; the tallest hybrid timber structure in the world for a residential tower in Vancouver; as well as the new home designed for the Aspen Art Museum, which features woven wooden cladding. His innovation extends to the industrial design of an architect’s scale pen used for drawing. This book also helps to relay Shigeru Ban’s contemporary discourse on architectural culture, and how it is moving in new directions. This title is a must-have for any serious aficionado of modern architecture, innovative thinking, and design. ISBN: 9781864707120 The Images Publishing Group 330 x 245mm. 432pp., 500 col.

A selection of 30 architectural and urban development projects by Atelier M Architects + Planners that are literally and figuratively right in the middle of our lives, a philosophy which has been the focal point of Atelier MA+P for over 30 years With clear project descriptions and elaborate imagery and plans
Jan Maenhout was one of the first architects to design buildings as meeting places. He added value to the buildings he designed by combining living quarters with work spaces, by accounting for green spaces and by taking the environment into consideration. He created project after project, starting from his commitment to sustainability and social involvement. Every time his use of very diverse materials and his colour play elevated his designs beyond being just buildings. This book comprises his most important work, at first within the architectural office Jan Maenhout, and later in its contemporary successor Atelier M Architects + Planners.

Common Space Alberto Ulisse
Common Space explores the renewed construction of a relational collective space that is increasingly being defined as a melting-pot of space, events and movement. Melting-pot is the best way to describe public spaces as they increasingly becoming ‘a bowl in which you mix’ a series of events, situations and relationships; defining contemporary public space as a melting-pot of events (as defined by Bernard Tschumi in Architecture and Disjunction and Event-cities) will be the key to highlighting practices that aren’t often associated with a collective place: a void filled with flavours, practices and events.

ILS-Innovative Learning Space is a Summer School organised in 2016 by the Ecourbanlab research facility, founded by Massimo Faiferri within the DADU (Department of Architecture, Design and Urbanism) at the University of Sassari. It was formed as a project activity SPIN-APP: Innovative Learning Spaces (Regional Law No. 7 Promotion of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation in Sardinia) in collaboration with the INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) and with contributions from Sardegna Ricerche through the project Scientific School 2015. The general objective of the Scientific School is as an innovative project for learning environments, which can serve as a reference and model for the new realisation or adaptation of school education. To intervene on the project of school space means to reflect responsibly on the role that space itself covers in the dynamics of learning processes as well as to think about the renewal of the didactic organisation. The prerequisite is the articulation of a modular and multi-functional space suited to the subjective needs of the individual pathways of pupil skills, and which incorporates principles and material linked to good sustainable practices as their constituent elements, which can accept new technological tools as a form of enhancement of real space.

Facies
Urban Architectures Francesco Gulinello
‘Facies’ refers to the ability of architecture to enable, by means of its outward appearance, interaction between the space occupied by the building and the setting within which it is found. Architecture, Gio Ponti argues, is made to be looked at, because through the facades of architecture is a public landscape. The facades are the street walls and a city is made of streets. Restoring the facade to the world of meaning requires shifting the role of the building from object to subject, elevating it beyond the exclusive need to meet a set of requirements. However, architecture, to be recognised as such, shouldn’t represent, signify, or symbolise something other than itself, but provide a process generating form that organises and builds its own assumptions within disciplinary autonomy. The world of forms thus refers to the wealth of architectural knowledge from which it draws nourishment and thanks to which it generates new forms.

Aaron G. Green
Organic Architecture Beyond Frank Lloyd Wright
Randolph C. Henning; edited by Allan Wright Green and Jan Novie l
The complete works of Aaron G. Green with never-before-seen archival images and drawings showing the career of this Frank Lloyd Wright protégé
In the early 1940s, Aaron Green became a member of Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice group, the Taliesin Fellowship. He maintained a close relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright over the next twenty years. At the request of Frank Lloyd Wright, Aaron Green established a San Francisco office in 1951, both for his own practice and as Mr. Wright’s West Coast Representative. Aaron Green participated in over thirty Frank Lloyd Wright projects and was appointed by Frank Lloyd Wright as associated architect for the Marin County Civic Center Project. The highlight of his career occurred in 1999 when he won a national competition to design a visionary open-to-the-world private high school in Greensboro, North Carolina, on a 100-acre wooded site with a 25-acre lake. The project infrastructure includes the largest single loop geothermal system in the world. Shortly before his passing, Aaron Green was awarded the 1st gold medal by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in recognition of his career and accomplishments and dedication to organic architecture. When asked who Aaron Green was, Wright commented, “Aaron Green is my son.”

Represents the first 16 years of Glen Coben’s restaurant design agency
This book represents the first 16 years of Glen Coben’s design agency. Coben has had the distinct pleasure of working with some of the world’s greatest chefs - having had a front-row seat to witness the growth of “farm-to-table” cuisine, “molecular gastronomy,” the burger craze, the Neapolitan pizza craze, the paleo diet, the juice cleanse, and the rapid rise of food bloggers, social media, the ‘foodie,’ and the deification of chefs into rock stars. What has remained consistent is that the challenge of opening a restaurant has not become any easier. Whether the restaurant is a burger restaurant, a dive bar, or a four-star grand Italian destination, the stakes are always high for each restaurateur or chef. They have investors, budgets, schedules and the desire to deliver their own vision of service and cuisine. Each design project is a journey to discover the soul of each project - to tell its story in an appropriate tone of voice that compliments each chef’s vision. Coben’s journey has taken him literally and metaphorically to Mexico, Strasbourg, Paris, Texas, California, the Islands, the Bronx, Queens, London, and all over Italy.

The first in depth study of the life and work of the late Palestinian master Jafar Tukan
Jafar Tukan: Poetry in Stone is the first in depth study of the life and work of the late Palestinian master Jafar Tukan, who was inarguably one of the most influential architects in both his adopted nation of Jordan as well as throughout the Middle East. For the first time, the full impact of his attempt at raising the professional standards of his entire region has been recorded. Through this process he completely altered the design aesthetic of his home territory of Amman over the course of his remarkable career. As a result, the image of his homeland and its capital city has been irrevocably changed. That feat has been accomplished through a wide variety of building types, including mosques, private residences, housing projects, hotels, recreational facilities, museums, commercial complexes, office buildings, embassies, banks, and universities. Jafar Tukan demonstrates an unparalleled skill at maintaining the delicate balance between past, present, and future, tradition and technology, and rationality and passion, to an extent not found in the work of any other Muslim architect of his time.

For Jay Baker’s design contributions to architectural practice, the American Institute of Architects honoured him as a fellow in 2002. Iowa State awarded him the Alpha Rho Chi Medal (1978), identifying the one graduating architecture student who most exemplified leadership, service and merit. He received that school’s Design Achievement Award (1992) for distinguished contributions to the arts
Making Things reviews the collective portfolio of Jay Baker Architects since its establishment in 1991, by presenting twenty projects from across varied design platforms. Sixteen of these projects feature houses, commissioned over a twenty-five year period, and are complemented by and contrasted with an additional four projects that were self-initiated, ranging from the design of a toy to a public park. Uniting these discernably diverse projects is a common denominator. Baker’s work contributes to his belief that in order to make things well, it is necessary to serve the integrity of an idea, ensuring greater incisiveness in response to design challenges. The body of work presented in Making Things extols the virtue of creating fit, particularly when working in multifarious contexts. Opening the book is an appraisal of Baker’s comprised life’s work by esteemed historian, Stephen Fox.

Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture is an exciting advance in the field of architecture offering multiple indigenous perspectives on architecture and design theory and practice. Indigenous authors from Aotearoa New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and the USA explore the making and keeping of places and spaces which are informed by indigenous values and identities. The lack of publications to date offering an indigenous lens on the field of architecture belies the rich expertise found in indigenous communities in all four countries. This expertise is made richer by the fact that this indigenous expertise combines both architecture and design professional practice, that for the most part is informed by Western thought and practice, with a frame of reference that roots this architecture in the indigenous places in which it sits.

Features windows and door systems such as Nana, Optimum, Milguard, Bonelli, as well as the use of Western Red Cedar siding, Ipe decking, custom cabinetry in macassar ebony and rift sawn white oak, and furniture from Westelm and Emtek Door Hardware
The book is a portfolio of three Northern California architectural projects: Canyon House, Inverness House and Mocabee House. The houses are very different in style, but the themes that are explored are consistent in the architecture and the interiors. Canyon House is detailed to seamlessly nestle into its steep creek-side landscape. The house follows the contours of the landscape, and is built with attention to carving space out of the canyon. Using the expertise of crafts people and design consultants, Canyon House is an exceptional example of craft and beauty. Inverness House is built on a ridgetop with views of Tomales Bay. The materials used are sourced locally and the home has an organic, simple, cosy well-being feeling in its architecture and presentation. Mocabee House is a modern concept of a farmhouse set on a former four-acre walnut orchard. The house is designed to use the exterior spaces with ease and celebration, and its farm to table lifestyle is clearly reflected in the selection of building materials and interior design.

l
Showcases drawings and images from the WG Clark archives as never seen before
The architecture of WG Clark is inextricably grounded in its place, the Atlantic coastal states of the American South. Over the course of his forty-year career as a modern architect practising in historic contexts, Clark has constructed a small but significant body of work of unparalleled high quality and experiential richness. Clark’s remarkably resolved spatial compositions are formally restrained and contextually appropriate, and while relatively few in number, have nevertheless exerted an outsize influence on architects around the world. Clark’s regional grounding, slow and measured pace of design, and modest publicity has provided him with the time-in-place necessary for thinking and creating at the very highest level. Like the relatively few works of Louis Kahn and Carlo Scarpa, the works of WG Clark have attained canonical status, and his redefinition of architectural design as being grounded in the history of the discipline, as well as in the particularities of its place, has proved to be of everincreasing relevance to contemporary practice.

Highlights both the beautiful architecture of Arthur Erickson and the beautiful home he designed for clients, Gordon and Marion Smith
Over the course of his distinguished career, architect Arthur Erickson (19242009) designed numerous houses, each an exercise in transforming the needs of his clients into tangible form in the context of site and place. Artists Gordon Smith (b.1919) and Marion Smith (1918-2009) of Vancouver were the only Erickson clients to commission him to design two homes. The first (1955) was a straightforward exercise in post-World War II modernism that represented the transplantation of prevailing North American design-thinking to the mountainous rain forests of coastal Vancouver. The second house (1966) Smith House II as it came to be known - was simultaneously a deft reworking of the stylistic and spatial culture of the first house and a remarkable, path-breaking study in cultural transposition, interpretation and adaptation. Emphasising its disavowal of conventional demarcations of space and the movement within and through it, the house translated the material and aesthetic sensibilities of 17th-century Japanese domestic architecture to the circumstances of mid-20th-century North America (and the northerly Pacific coast).
UnderstandingUnderstanding Richard Saul Wurman
This is a book for people to dip into, as they would walk in and out of the room of a dinner party and embrace their interests. Before Information Architecture, before the rules on how to organise information, before you learn grammar, before you work hard at expanding your vocabulary through the exercises of parallel meanings of things using a Thesaurus and in writing papers in class, before any learning one must understand. UnderstandingUnderstanding precedes the whole process of learning, of giving yourself permission to understand the formations of facts, data, stories, pictures, words, and conversations that allow you to understand. This book could be called A Celebration of Conversation or Musings with my Mentors. It is about the fantasy of being the dumbest person in the room and being able to identify all the myriad connections of how others think, talk, explain, and visualise. The following is a collection of many of the most interesting idiosyncratic paths of understanding that lead to creation.

Victorian Summer
The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut Matthew L. Bernard l
At the height of the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest summered in luxury in Newport, Southampton, Tuxedo Park, and Belle Haven. This is the story of Belle Haven Park
At the height of the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families began to build luxurious summer cottages away from the grit and grime of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia in idyllic locales such as, Newport, Southampton, Tuxedo Park, and Lenox. Another place the new American aristocracy settled was in the peninsula of Belle Haven, Connecticut. The New York Times called it, “the flower garden of Greenwich, and, indeed, of the whole Connecticut shore”. Victorian Summer: The Historic Houses of Belle Haven Park, Greenwich, Connecticut focuses on the first great flowering of Belle Haven, from 1884-1929 - a period where the Gilded Age’s most renowned architects designed masterpieces in many styles, all for the movers and shakers of the day. Each chapter tells the story of a house, an architect, and the predominant owner. While some of these houses are, sadly, gone or unrecognisably changed, this book does the job of visually preserving them in their original glory.

Architecture of Nature Diana Agrest and John Angus McPhee
Based on documentation originating in the environmental sciences, history of science, philosophy and art, Architecture of Nature explores the materiality and the effects of the forces at play in the history of the earth through the architect’s modes of seeing and techniques of representation. This book presents research work developed for the past eight years in the Advanced Research graduate studio ‘Architecture of Nature/ Nature of Architecture’, created and directed by Diana Agrest at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of the Cooper Union. Architecture of Nature departs from the traditional approach to nature as a referent for architecture and reframes it as its object of study. The complex processes of generation and transformations of extreme natural phenomena such as glaciers, volcanoes, permafrost, and clouds are explored through unique drawings and models, confronting a scale of space and time that expands and transcends the established boundaries of the architectural discipline.

Fronts
Security and the Developing World Ersela Kripa and Stephen Mueller l
Explores our increasingly polarised view on urban growth, as either an opportunity or a threat, through the lens of architecture
Fronts uncovers a growing geography of co-dependency between the global security complex and the urban morphologies of the developing world which it increasingly incriminates. Military training sites, and the real-world informal environments they replicate, provide a lens through which we can better understand the shape of the city to come. While the world continues to urbanise, military doctrine has recently and dramatically shifted to view the world’s cities as suspect sites of potential aggression. As the majority of new urban life will manifest as informal development, the world is now more than ever explicitly divided in two camps: those who view the informal city as an opportunity, and those who view the informal city as a threat. This paradigmatic shift has set the stage for impending conflict between security and development interests, which take the informal city as their site.

The Informal Stance
Representations of Architectural Design and Informal Settlements Valeria Federighi l
The Informal Stance addresses the issue of informal settlements in relation to architecture, urban planning and design
This book looks to the moment of encounter between architectural design and informal settlements as the most extreme demonstration of an increasingly evident disciplinary fascination for urban informality. It is an enduring fascination, arising from the need to test the boundaries of the discipline in the hope of finding it adaptable to change and willing to adapt. It is also a fascination that feeds off the gap that exists between the search for a renewed relevance of disciplinary tools - and the wider loss of faith in the project as a way to envision societal change. In fact, such fascination is played out within a seemingly structural contradiction: informal settlements originate as the effect of economic and political strategies that are deployed on a global scale; conversely, when dealing with informality, architecture searches for legitimisation at the very small scale of the tactical and ultra local. A relationship of inverse proportion is in place, between the constrained scope of architectural design and the scale of the issues it sets out to address.

The Mechanical and Biological Merger
Systems Behaviors in an Age of Noise Darla Lindberg l
Darla Lindberg is the first woman in the over 100-year history of the Department of Architecture at Pennsylvania State University to be tenured and promoted and then to be promoted to full professor Life’s game is measured in episodes of awareness, i.e. self-awareness, an awareness of the way things work, or that things are not always what they seem. Systems dynamics are full of shocks to the system. Whether we are witnessing the physics of a rational system or the profundity of an irrational system, the shocks come with a sense of, ‘You mean you can do that?’ This book examines systems dynamics from the perspective of the author’s own triangulated model comprised of common environments (those shared environments at risk of over-use or degradation), the institutions we design to manage those commons, and the human behaviour associated with our investment in the triad. The Feedbacks between the three comprise the Policy Arena for collective decision-making and form a backdrop for shaping personal actions. Beautifully illustrated with student case study research covering a range of topics from the past twelve years, the work is written for a wide audience including academics, researchers, designers, and the concerned citizen.

26 ARCHITECTURE
Multi-disciplinary and broad in scope, this volume of essays and artworks converges perspectives on contemporary rurality from different academic and creative fields. It contains contributions from artists, geographers, architects, media scholars and anthropologists
Rurality Re-imagined is divided into four loosely-themed sections: Villagers, Farmers, Wanderers, and Wild Things. Each comprises five or six diverse chapters of varied length. In the Villagers section rural communities are considered as assemblages and spaces of vernacularity, as dark settings for TV dramas, new wave photography, and as sites for community arts projects. The Farmers section critically re-invigorates the historical fascination with peasantry and farming in the arts, through essays, painting, and photography that collectively place the agency of the artist under as much scrutiny as images of agricultural space and people. Stereotypically, the word ‘Wanderers’ conjures images of gypsy caravans, or country ramblers, but in this section the term is stretched to include not only the traditional migrations of reindeer herds, but also that of the motorway driver, and migrations of cultural forms too, such as that of hip-hop from the clubs of New York to the fields of rural Devon. In the essays and images in the Wild Things section the wilderness emerges as a highly contested cultural terrain, far from any state of purity, as it manifests itself in the behaviours of people, flora, and fauna in cultivated and uncultivated landscapes and parks.
Towards a Robotic Architecture Mahesh Daas and Andrew John Wit
The field of robotics is coming of age. Robotics and artificial intelligence represent the next cutting edge technology to transform the fields of architecture and design. The past decade’s surge towards more computationally defined building systems and highly adaptable open-source design software has left the field ripe for the integration of robotics whether through large-scale building fabrication or through more intelligent/adaptive building systems. Through this surge, architecture has not only been greatly influenced by these emerging technologies, but has also begun influencing other disciplines in unexpected ways. The purpose of this book is to provide systems of classification, categorisation, and taxonomies of robotics in architecture so that a more systematic and holistic body of work could take place while addressing the multifarious aspects of possible research and production. As the research in this area is in its infancy, the book will play the role of bringing together scholars, designers, and industry members’ defining their positions along the four frameworks for architectural robotics. The book aspires to be the first scholarly treatment of a broad range of robotics research in architecture and design fields. It will address how architectural robotics can open up unique and innovative possibilities both within architecture and related disciplines.

Towards Openness Li Hu and Huang Wenjing l
A collection of case studies which showcase innovative Chinese design practises, to challenge the preconceived and often prejudiced notion of what Chinese architecture ought to be
Drawn from keen observation of the rapidly changing social economic landscape of China, and using OPEN Architecture’s projects as case studies, Towards Openness is a symphony of design ideas. The details of seven built projects are interwoven with six chapters dedicated to stimulating innovative thought, to offer an in-depth examination of OPEN’s unique practice and the critical thinking that underlies their work. OPEN’s understandings of architecture is summed up in six relatively clear points which, together with their corresponding manifestos, constitute the fundamental attitude and starting point of their practice. The seven built projects can be seen as OPEN’s reaction to the broad issues that they encounter, as well as the actions they take to actively engage in the rapid transformation of Chinese society, with unwavering hope for a better future.

Documents a seminal and internationally recognised re-naturalisation project for a river in Switzerland
South of Geneva, Switzerland, the River Aire runs across a plain that for centuries has been agricultural land. From the late 19th century, the waterway has been embanked for flood protection, also causing the gradual loss of habitat for a large variety of plants and animals. In 2001, decisions were taken to re-naturalise the river. Yet rather than to merely reconstruct its former natural bed, Superpositions, the association of firms commissioned with the project, applied ‘topographic imagination’, a method termed by American landscape designer Elissa Rosenberg. It combines the embanked channel with a newly designed pasture landscape. The channel indicates a work in progress and serves as a reference line that makes ‘before’ and ‘after’ traceable. This new book documents this much recognised, award-winning re-naturalisation project with drawings, images of construction work and of the new waterway. Essays and comments by international contributors Jean-Marc Besse, Lorette Coen, Gerorges Descombes, G. Mathias Kondolf, Elissa Rosenberg, Gilles A. Tiberghien, and Marc Treib demonstrate how the restored River Aire has been upgraded to become again a characteristic feature of this landscape on the fringe of the city.

28 ARCHITECTURE
First monograph on this significant representative of Italy’s post-war modernism
This is the first-ever monograph on Verona-born architect Armando Ronca (1901-70), a significant protagonist of Italy’s post-war Modernism. Following his studies in engineering in Genoa, Torino, and Padova he started working as an architect in Trento before he established his own studio in Bolzano in 1935. Ronca soon became a leading proponent of Modernism in architecture in Northern Italy. In 1944, he opened a second studio in Milano, where the 1948 expansion of the San Siro football stadium in collaboration with the structural engineer Feruccio Calzolari was the largest single project of his entire career. This new book documents Ronca’s life and work, featuring in detail some forty of his designs mainly in the Trentino-Alto Adige and Lombardy regions, richly illustrated with original plans and drawings by Ronca and period photographs. Newly commissioned images by Austrian architecture photographer Werner Feiersinger present all of Ronca’s preserved buildings in their current state. Essays by Andreas Kofler, Massimo Martignoni, Giorgio Mezzalira, Magdalene Schmidt, Luigi Scolari, and Jörg Stabenow, and a complete catalogue of Ronca’s built and unrealised projects and interior designs round out the book.

First book on the work of London-based architects’ collective Assemble
Assemble: How We Build offers a first comprehensive insight into the work and projects of the London-based architecture collective Assemble. How we build, how things are made and materials are assembled, reflects the social, economic and political conditions of a society. Changing the status-quo by community action is a focal point in the work of Assemble, who have developed a signature blend of social activation, poetic spaces and ecological and economic sustainability. Assemble’s 18 members started their collaboration in 2010, following their graduation from Cambridge University. Their portfolio comprises diverse projects such as a temporary cinema at a former petrol station, affordable workspaces for artists, the foundation of social enterprises, the revitalisation of a former working-class neighbourhood, or designing a new art gallery for Goldsmiths, University of London. In 2015, Assemble was awarded with Turner Prize, the first architects to win Europe’s most prestigious distinction for contemporary art. Assemble: How We Build features ten selected projects to demonstrate the collective’s working methods. Further essays provide background information and reflect on Assemble’s objectives and philosophy. The book is published in conjunction with a major exhibition at Architekturzentrum Wien Az W in Summer 2017.

Climate gardens enable the experience of climate change’s consequences at a local or regional level Provides a practical guide to the creation of climate gardens
Global climate change is a frequently and controversially discussed topic. Yet apart from natural disasters, which tend to be interpreted in any number of ways to serve vastly differing interests, it has so far hardly been a tangible phenomenon in our day-to-day lives. The Climate Garden experiment enables the experience of climate change’s consequences first-hand: it shows how the vegetation of a place might change in the future, what we may be eating, and what our gardens might look like. The experiment is conducted based on detailed climate scenarios that can be translated to different locations around the globe. This new book serves as a manual for the implementation of such a public experiment at a local or regional level anywhere in the world. A practical step-by-step guide to creating a climate garden complements contributions by human geographers, art historians, and ecologists. It provides a tool for private and public institutions to tell their own story and in particular to add a personal and emotional dimension to the largely abstract climate scenarios we usually learn about in the media.

Volume I: Project Introduction and Pavilion KSSG Christoph Wieser, Marko Sauer
In 2011, Zurich-based architect Fawad Kazi submitted the winning proposal for the rebuilding and extension of a hospital complex in the Swiss city of St Gallen. Over a period of ten years, a number of existing structures will undergo vast rebuilding and new ones will be added, transforming a park with individual buildings into a single continuous complex. This new, eventually five-part monograph, documents this project in full detail. It highlights the significance of St Gallen’s urban design as well as the specific demands on architectural design and construction and on the hospital’s operations. Volume I features the project’s genesis and the initial new building, a pavilion structure housing a restaurant and, in the basement, an electrical substation.

Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects are among the most highly recognised contemporary firms in Switzerland Explores the architects’ interest in the garden as a topos and its meaning for their work
Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin founded their firm in Zurich in 2005. Their broad scope of work encompasses the design and realisation of building projects, urban planning, exhibitions and publications. Housing is a key interest in their research, teaching, and practice. Beside individual teaching appointments, Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin are teaching as joint visiting professors at ETH Zurich in 2017-18. The garden, a recurring motif in the work of Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects, features prominently in many of their architectural projects as idea, vision, or built space. In their exhibition Garden at Architektur Galerie Berlin in autumn 2016, the architects foregrounded that topos and, in collaboration with Swiss landscape designer Daniel Ganz, transformed the gallery space into a living garden. This eponymous book features this temporary installation and offers an insight into its making through striking photographs. Essays by Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin and Stephen Bates and a conversation with the architects by Martin Steinmann explore the meaning of the garden in a selection of their projects from an historical and theoretical perspective.

Presents latest research on settlement structures that belong neither fully to metropolitan nor to rural spaces
Two contrasting terms are joined to conjugate the traditional idea of metropolis (the centre of a vast territory, hierarchically organised, dense, vertical, produced by polarisation) with horizontality (the idea of a more diffuse, isotropic urban condition, where centre and periphery blur). Around 1990, Terry McGee, an urban researcher at the University of British Columbia, coined the term ‘desakota’, deriving from Indonesian ‘desa’ (village) and ‘kota’ (city). Desakota areas typically occur in Asia, especially South East Asia. The term describes an area situated outside the periurban zone, often sprawling alongside arterial and communication roads, sometimes from one agglomeration to the next. They are characterised by high population density and intensive agricultural use, but differ from densely populated rural areas by more urban-like characteristics. The new book The Horizontal Meteropolis investigates such areas alongside examples in the US, Italy, and Switzerland. The study highlights the advantages of the concept and its relevance in economical, ecological, and social aspects. The concept reflects a vision of global urbanisation that no longer allows for “outside” areas and that will test the urban ecosystem to its limits.
A Glass Labyrinth in Venice Kashef Chowdhury l
Documents Kashef Chowdhury’s fascinating display at the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale
The labyrinth is an age-old space of intrigue, discovery and accident, which has fascinated architects throughout history. For his installation at the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Kashef Chowdhury challenged spatial perceptions by a simple turn: the labyrinth - which hides and blocks - is suddenly made transparent. The installation was conceived not merely as a hyper-maze but rather as an expression of the anxiety that the artist experiences in his work due to a myriad of uncertainties. From design to construction, funding to maintenance, the part of the world where URBANA chiefly works presents itself with challenges at every turn, and it is in this milieu that an architect must operate with firm resolve. Chowdhury’s Glass Labyrinth in Venice seems to explicate the notion that, although an architect has a clear vision of what he wants to do, the path to achieving that in the environment in which he operates, is laden with perplexing barriers. This new book explores and documents Kashef Chowdhury’s intriguing installation in Venice with beautiful photographs by Eric Chenal and an illuminating text by Robert McCarter.

Israel Lessons
Industrial Arcadia. Teaching and Research in Architecture Harry Gugger, Barbara Costa, Salomé Gutscher, Charlotte Truwant l
An urbanist research project on concepts of social space rooted in land domestication and landscape idolatry
The Middle East is the birthplace of the Neolithic revolution that came to humanise and domesticate the planet. It is also considered the cradle of civilisation as it saw some of the very first developments in human social and technological inventions, such as cities, class-based societies, monumental architecture, writing, the wheel, and irrigation. The 2016/17-research campaign of EPFL’s Laboratory Basel (laba) took a critical look at the part of this region that today forms the state of Israel and the role agriculture there played in territorial appropriation and domestication, in structuring the development of urbanisation, in creating a national homeland narrative, and in changing the climate. The research explored the three major types of Israeli agricultural development: the vernacular Palestinian/Bedouin, the socialist utopian Kibbutz/Moshav, and the contemporary high-tech desert farming. Israel Lessons: Industrial Arcadia presents the findings as text as well as visualised in striking images, graphics and maps. It also demonstrates how facts and narratives related to agriculture and the climate crisis are intertwined with geopolitics and sectarian ideals of earthly paradises. Proposals for architectural interventions designed by laba’s students round out the book.

A richly illustrated survey of British post-war architecture
For more than thirty years, British photographer Simon Phipps has been documenting the rebuilding of Britain after the Second World War through the work of architects. His archive documents Britain’s post-war modernism and new brutalism in architecture and recognises the architects’ enormous contribution to the transformation of the political and social landscape of the country in the aftermath of WWII. Significant building on a mass scale was realised and new building techniques were pioneered alongside innovative layouts, resulting in buildings of outstanding quality, displaying radical new forms. The construction ranged from public and private housing, to schools and universities, churches, museums, galleries, commercial and, ultimately, entire new towns. This new book features nearly 200 of Simon Phipps’s photographs of buildings in all parts of England completed between the 1950s until the 1980s. They create a confrontation of buildings and architectural fragments, evoking a distinct atmosphere of brutalism. An essay contextualises brutalism in architecture from a British perspective and considers Phipps’ contribution to its reception. An illustrated catalogue of featured buildings provides full details of each item, making the book also a handy travel guide for architecture lovers and professionals.

This is the most comprehensive survey on brutalist architecture to date, featuring rich previously unpublished illustrations and material
SOS Brutalism is a distress signal. Since the 1950s, eminent architects around the world have realised buildings expressing an uncompromising attitude. Predominantly, yet not exclusively, they used exposed concrete, or béton brut (hence the term ‘brutalism’), for their construction. Today, many of these always-controversial buildings are in danger of demolition or, at least, of reconstruction that often may change their appearance beyond recognition. In recent years, an initiative to protect and preserve this significant global heritage of 20th-century architecture has gained momentum, mainly through the internet. Using the hashtag #SOSBrutalism, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM, German Museum of Architecture) in Frankfurt on the Main and the Wüstenrot Foundation participate in this campaign, and have developed a vast collaborative research project. The result of this research to date is a global survey of brutalist architecture of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, presented in an exhibition at DAM in Autumn 2017 and a coinciding and uniquely comprehensive book. Some 100 contributors document around 120 key buildings from this period, including many previously unpublished discoveries that are in acute danger of loss through neglect or intended demolition. Moreover, the book features overviews of brutalism in architecture in twelve regions around the world. Case studies of hotspots such as the Macedonian capital Skopje or New Haven, Connecticut, and essays on the history and theory of brutalism round out this lavishly illustrated book. The supplement collects papers of an international symposium on brutalism in architecture held in Berlin in 2012.

Analogous Old-New Architecture Monograph
Miroslav Sik, Eva Willenegger l
A detailed and illustrated monograph on an important architect, pioneer of the compact movement
The terms ‘analogous architecture’ and ‘old-new architecture’ are key aspects of the teaching of Miroslav Sik at the ETH Zurich. During his first period there (1983-1991), Sik worked as Senior Assistant at the Chair of Fabio Reinhart and was in effect the spokesman of an architectural movement that became renowned far beyond the borders of Switzerland and is still influential today. In 1986/1991, the compact movement presented itself to the public with a touring exhibition and an accompanying large-scale ‘Swiss Box’, including chalk perspective drawings of its projects. Miroslav Sik worked as a Full Professor at the ETH Zurich between 1999 and 2018 during his second period there. Since the 1990s, Sik’s theory and teaching have formed an important pillar of Swiss and international architectural history. This extensive volume contains the best 90/120 works respectively by students from both periods of Miroslav Sik’s teaching, including plans, project descriptions and perspective diagrams. Some of the presented students went on to become renowned contemporary Swiss architects. This volume also includes the most important manifesto-like texts by Miroslav Sik and enlightening essays on the movement of analogous and old-new architecture.

An expert insight into the architectural history of Burlington House, home of the Royal Academy of Arts in London since 1868
On Charles II’s restoration to the throne in 1660, four of his supporters were provided with plots of land in a leafy suburb of London, on which to build their extravagant town palaces. The only one to survive - built for the poet and courtier Sir John Denham and now situated in the heart of Piccadilly - was to become the home of the Royal Academy of Arts, its exhibitions and its Schools. This important study charts the history of the estate through its various owners, including the 3rd Earl of Burlington, who gave the house not only its name but also its distinctive and influential architecture. In his day, the house was host to leading scholars and celebrities, who met within Burlington’s cutting-edge creation, which remains an unparalleled examplar of the Palladian style in England. Former Director of Collections at the RA Nicholas Savage examines 350 years of social and architectural history, as well as revealing the next phase in the life of the estate, as the Royal Academy opens up Burlington House as never before in an exciting redevelopment led by Sir David Chipperfield CBE RA to celebrate the institution’s 250th anniversary.
A Feeling of History Peter Zumthor, Mari Lending l
l
In conversation, Peter Zumthor reflects on time and history’s reverberations in his work, and how these factors have informed his attempts to achieve emotional reconstruction of space His counterpart Mari Lending is a renowned scholar of history and theory of architecture
While completing the Almannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, celebrated Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian scholar Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. Departing from the ways in which Zumthor’s pavilions frame the barely visible traces of the industrial exploitation of zinc in the 1890s, the conversation took unexpected turns. In meandering, impressionistic style and drawing on Zumthor’s favourite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Vladimir Nabokov, and T.S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time and temporalities reverberate across the famous architect’s oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his continuous attempts of emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of Los Angeles’ LACMA on a grand urban scale. This small, beautifully designed new book records the conversation between Zumthor and Lending, illustrated with photographs by the renowned Swiss architectural photographer Hélène Binet.

The Gardens of La Gara
An 18th-Century Estate in Geneva with Gardens Designed by Erik Dhont Anette Freytag l
A comprehensive and beautifully designed monograph on the history and restoration of the historic La Gara estate near Geneva and the contemporary re-design of its gardens by Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont
La Gara is an 18th-century country estate in Jussy, a village near Geneva, Switzerland. The buildings have been carefully restored by Swiss architect Verena Best, who also added inspired touches to the interior design. The renowned Belgian landscape designer Erik Dhont reinterpreted and subtly redesigned the gardens and surrounding grounds, completed by a palindrome-like labyrinth designed by Swiss artist Markus Raetz. This new book tells the full story of the La Gara estate and illustrates its beauty. The essays investigate various aspects of its preservation and restoration of buildings and gardens and the contemporary interventions. They highlight features such as the historic watering system for the gardens and the fishponds, and look at the specific Genevan garden tradition and characteristics of the rural landscape around Jussy with its biodiversity. Moreover, they contextualise La Gara with the ‘ferme ornée’, a villa with agricultural and ornamental features following ancient Roman models. The beautiful volume is rounded out with newly commissioned photographs by renowned Swiss photographer Georg Aerni.

Hanoi Streets 1985-2015 In the Years of Forgetting William E. Crawford l
Close to 200 beautiful portraits and landscape photographs documenting Hanoi’s transformation from 1985 to 2015
Documentary photographer William E. Crawford spent three decades documenting Vietnam, and in particular Hanoi, its people and the surrounding countryside. As one of the very first Western photographers to work in post-war North Vietnam, Crawford was drawn back to the country numerous times at regular intervals between 1985 and 2015 to record this fascinating country’s culture, people, and society with beautiful, compelling and intimate photographs, concentrating on colonial and indigenous architecture, urban details, portraits, and landscapes. In 1986, the Vietnam’s Communist leadership began to shift from a Soviet-style central planning model toward free-market economic reforms. As a result, Hanoi has been transformed over the last three decades, becoming an example of how traditional Asian and developing cities have often been torn down or allowed to crumble - only to re-emerge in a ‘modernised’ form. Unlike photo-journalism, which is interested in the theatre of the moment, Crawford’s evocative and powerful photography chronicles life throughout Hanoi and its surrounds over the course of the last three decades. Filled with full-colour photographs and informative essays on his experiences and the people he encountered, Crawford’s work - showcased in this beautifully presented volume - provides a unique visual catalogue of the evolution of a city and its inhabitants, and in particular the complex historical area known as The 36 Streets.

Explores the design innovation developed to create a ‘walkable’ environment in high-density cities - using Shanghai and Shenzhen as examples - showing how to make cities more liveable, healthier and friendlier, by making them walkable and overall more sustainable The first outcome of the Joint Research Lab - an academic encounter between University IUAV of Venice and Tongji University, College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP)
Modern Chinese cities, which have developed at a rapid speed and on a massive scale for about thirty years, are confronted with many challenges to becoming more livable, healthy and sustainable. Among a variety of design principles this book suggests that walkability is the fundamental principle to improving quality of life. A walkable city provides a convenient and comfortable walking and cycling environment for all local residents. This book attempts to explore the design innovation of creating a walkable city and to propose solutions within the high-density cities Shenzhen and Shanghai. Selected cases include an urban village in Shenzhen and the CBD and a workers’ community in Shanghai as different spatial examples to which to apply specific design strategies for a livable, healthy and sustainable city.

Analyses the art of Frida Kahlo and incorporates the most up-to-date research available on the work of the artist Published to accompany an exhibition at the MUDEC in Milan, from February to June 2018
Frida Kahlo, a truly extraordinary woman who captured the public’s imagination with her iconic look, troubled life and exotic air, is first and foremost a great painter. This exhibition and accompanying catalogue aim to free her work from the haze of myth and the frustrating limits of private life in order to grant her the position she deserves within the history of art. Oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, letters and photographs explore the complex historical and cultural context of Kahlo’s work, examining its explicit realism as well as its disturbing ambiguity, its dramatic content as well as its irony, and not least, the exuberant sensuality of her still lifes. Organised by theme in several large chapters, the catalogue analyses the art of Frida Kahlo, revealing its uncompromising political nature, audacious use of the body, macabre, violent aesthetic, and symbolic and symbiotic interaction with the natural environment of Mexico in the early 1900s. The catalogue represents the most up-todate text available on the work of one of the most celebrated and beloved artists of all time.

With around 190 works by the German ceramicist Beate Kuhn (1927-2015) from over five decades and all periods of creativity, the Freiberger Collection provides an outstanding review of the impressive oeuvre of this internationally renowned artist Beate Kuhn’s works are owned by leading museums worldwide, including the GRASSI Museum of Applied Art Leipzig; Hetjens-Museum, Düsseldorf; Musée Ariana, Geneva; Museum Bellerive, Zurich; Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam; National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto; Taipeh Fine Arts Museum; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London
With her unmistakable signature and exuberant imagination, Beate Kuhn (1927-2015) is one of the most significant German ceramicists of the post-war era. She turned to the liberal arts as early as the end of the 1950s. In linking sculptural reasoning with the possibilities of the material and inherent pottery techniques, the internationally renowned artist conquered the frontiers of ceramics and created virtuosic works that went on to form their own contribution to the history of modern sculpture. With around 190 works from all her periods of creativity, the Mannheim architect Klaus Freiberger was able to compile a collection unmatched anywhere else in the world. In honour of its foundation at the Neue Sammlung, the impressive oeuvre of Beate Kuhn is now being presented for the first time in this comprehensive publication.

Caroline Broadhead (b. 1950) is a highly versatile artist who started in jewellery in the late 1970s. Since then she has extended her practice from “wearable objects” and textile works to dance collaborations and installations in historic buildings. Broadhead’s work is concerned with the boundaries of an individual and the interface of inside and outside, public and private, including a sense of territory and personal space, presence and absence and a balance between substance and image. It has explored outer extents of the body as seen through light, shadows, reflections and movement. This comprehensive overview also comprises larger scale and collaborative works that aim to elicit a particular experience or to start a train of thought.

An exciting journey into unknown stories and narrative structure
The Vessantara Jataka is the tale of Buddha’s last life, before he was reborn as the historical Buddha 2,500 years ago. In this earlier existence as Prince Vessantara he demonstrated evidence of the highest virtue that constitutes an enlightened man: generosity. Vessantara gave away everything dear to him - in the climactic scene of the story, even his wife and children. In North-East Thailand the Vessantara tale is celebrated annually as Bun Phra Wet. Pha Phra Wet - ‘Vessantara cloths’ - form the visual framework for this festival; they are hand-painted scrolls, which can reach lengths of up to one hundred metres. Devotion presents, for the very first time, a selection of six full-length Vessantara scrolls and explores a contemporary multimedia celebration of an ancient Buddhist text.

The publication Beneath the Skin provides an overview of the last ten years of work by the Swiss artist Corina Staubli (b. 1959). It shows the altercation in the tension between exterior and interior worlds and the ambivalence of beauty, the beguiling, the sinister and even the unfathomable. With diverse media - be it porcelain, latex, painting or digital collage - the artist directs a dialogue of opposing sides. The question she always poses is ‘how does the clandestine and the unconscious reveal itself in something that is manifest’ - and, vice versa, ‘how does the external view reveal the internal view’? The book itself is sure to arouse intrigue, as it features a nylon sculpture on the cover!

The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg; Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Oxford; National Museum of Wales, Cardiff; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Qinglingsi Temple, Xi’an and Shimada City Museum are among the institutions that have acquired his work
Torsion and tension are characteristic of the vessels created by the exceptional Japanese ceramicist Shozo Michikawa (b. 1953), whose works are reminiscent of rock strata and lava flows. Michikawa is known for his unique technique, for turning edgy, dynamic sculptures on the potter’s wheel. First he cuts and scores a solid block of clay before he carves out the interior hollow through pressing and turning with a rod and his hands. Natural-looking surfaces emerge, just as geological forces formed the earth’s surface - an irrepressible energy from the inside out. With a selection of works from the last fifteen years, Shozo Michikawa introduces the first comprehensive insight into his ceramic production, which has attracted attention across the globe.

Gerhard Munthe
Norwegian Pioneer of Modernism Jan Kokkin l
l
Inspired by antiquity, Norwegian folk art and Japonisme, Norwegian Gerhard Munthe was one of the most ground breaking and innovative artists in the late 1800s, active as a designer in the fields of tapestries, carpets, furniture, stained glass, silver, porcelain, wallpaper, wrought iron, book bindings, fonts and interior decoration Scholarly presentation of Gerhard Munthe’s oeuvre with special emphasis on his interior decoration projects and tapestry
Gerhard Munthe (1849-1929) is one of the most unique and important artists within the art nouveau movement and a significant contributor to its international diversity. His radical, abstract style based partly on old Norwegian folk art is today considered a precursor of twentieth-century modernism. Among Munthe’s greatest achievements are his countless room decorations, of which the Holmenkollen Turisthotell (1896-1898) in Oslo and Håkonshallen (1910-1915) in Bergen are the most significant. A series of illustrations of old Norwegian ballads and fairy tales made in 18921893 became the basis for a renewal of the decorative arts in Scandinavia, notably in the weaving industry. Munthe’s work as a designer covers most fields within the decorative arts: tapestries, carpets, furniture, stained glass, silver, porcelain, wallpaper, wrought iron, book bindings, fonts and ex libris. Published to accompany the exhibition at the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo, 8 June-2 September 2018.

Drawn to Drink is a miscellany of illustrations for advertisements, leaflets, posters, articles and books on drinks. Guinness has attracted so much attention from advertising historians that many other brands, many illustrated by well-known artists and imbued with just as much humour, have been neglected. Drawn to Drink does something towards redressing this, covering some dozen drinks, alcoholic and non-alcohol, from whisky and gin to tea and waters. Amongst the illustrations included are George Him’s illustrations of Schweppshire, Ashley Havinden’s ‘Stick to Beer’ for the Brewer’s Society, and the ‘little man’ for John Jamieson, Ronald Searle’s series of Mr. Lemon Harte for the rum company; and Edward Bawden’s humorous offerings for tea. Other artists’ work covered are David Gentleman’s wood engravings for Harvey’s and Edward Ardizzone’s sketches for both advertising and his own book, along with that of the many artists who contributed to ‘The Compleat Imbibe’ .

Exceptional compendium of the fine arts and crafts of the nineteenth century
l
First publication of the Collection Werner Friedrich Ott
In the Biedermeier period, scenes and idylls of the early works by Carl Spitzweg (1808-1885), odd misfits, soldiers, monks and maids are all featured in the middle-class provincial milieu of the time. Informed by a free painting style, however, the landscapes of his late works anticipate Impressionism. Comprising 430 objects, the Werner Friedrich Ott Collection in the Stadtmuseum Ingolstadt includes, alongside paintings and drawings by the famous artist, an extensive Historicist collection of arts-and-crafts objects. In a time when political, economic and social relations in Europe underwent massive upheaval, the nobility and an increasingly stronger middle class often drew upon the authoritative symbolism used to establish their identity of earlier times. They placed great value on the exquisite handcrafted work and the luxurious materials of their goblets, pitchers, ornamentation and jewellery. Particularly coveted were objects furnished with dedications from prominent personages, such as Empress Elisabeth ‘Sisi’ of Austria.
America’s Cool Modernism O’Keeffe to Hopper
Katherine Bourgignon, with essays by Leo Mazow and Lauren Kroiz l
l
Artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Charles Demuth, e.e. cummings and Charles Sheeler are among the highlights of this incredible selection of 20th-century American art Publication accompanies a major exhibition to be held at the Ashmolean Museum from March until June 2018; many of these works have never been exhibited in the UK
As some American artists began to eliminate people and remove extraneous details from their compositions, they often employed neat, orderly brushwork or close-up, unemotional photography. Artists as diverse as Patrick Henry Bruce, John Covert, Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Strand and Arthur Dove navigated European and American avant-garde circles, picking and choosing new ideas and methods. Inspiration ranged from cubism and machine parts to new technologies, and they found ways to bring order to the modern world through extreme simplification. For them, abstraction involved absence and presence - the evacuation of human beings but also the desire to depict something that would not otherwise be visible or to render visible unseen natural processes like the passage of time, sound waves, or weather patterns. Their artworks provide a new context for the precisionist works in the subsequent sections and point to modern ideas about what art could be. How does a crisp painting technique relate to an aesthetic of absence?

This book includes a number of interactive installation projects, dedicating particular attention to how designers convey their message. Instead of accepting information passively, in an interactive installation the audience is encouraged to communicate directly with the art. This book is divided into three parts: immersive installation (environment), experimental installation (technology), and feedback installation (engagement). Featuring examples drawn from 3D-rendered images, photographs and video projects, this book will explain the relationship between art and technology, and explore some of the ways these fields can be combined. It is a high-quality and practical guidebook, to accompany any interactive installation art exhibition. This book includes a cross-section of projects from outstanding global design agencies such as teamLab, Dem, and Random International. When placed in conjunction with testaments from practising designers, these examples provide a comprehensive introduction to interactive installation art.

New insights into early Christian archaeology and art. Previously unpublished material from the Vatican Library, covering Jewish, pagan and Christian history Never before published details about Roman gold-glass, covering artefacts relating to Jewish and Christian history in Rome
The Wilshere Collection offers a remarkable insight into one Englishman’s enthusiasm for the early Christian church. A wealthy landowner travelling frequently to Italy, Charles Wilshere (1814-1906) saw it as his mission to acquaint the British with the then brand-new subject of early Christian archaeology and art. Newly discovered documentation, including correspondence held at the Vatican Library and the Biblioteca San Luigi, Posilippo, recount Wilshere’s acquisition of a remarkable collection of early Christian, Jewish and pagan gold-glass, sarcophagi and inscriptions, shipped to England for public display. Previously unpublished evidence presents the reader with intriguing new information about the provenance of the collection. In addition to this, recent scientific analysis of the objects, now in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum, allows major new insights, notably into the origin of gold-glass and its use in fourth-century Rome.

The Ashmolean Museum is fortunate in having the most comprehensive British collection of the art of the Indian subcontinent outside London. Especially strong in sculpture, this rich representation of Indian art from prehistory to the twentieth century has come about through the generosity of our benefactors over more than three centuries. The Museum’s first major Indian sculpture acquisition, a stone Pala-style Vishnu image of the eleventh century, was given in 1686 by Sir William Hedges, a governor of the East India Company in Bengal. From the late nineteenth century, a substantial core of the present collection was assembled at the University’s former Indian Institute Museum (1897-1962), precursor of the Department of Eastern Art, which opened within the Ashmolean in 1963. Since that date many more Indian objects of all periods have been acquired by gift, bequest or purchase.

The best 100 posters of the year, chosen from a pool of German companies and Germanspeaking universities Presented in an inspiring and visually captivating volume
Designed to be put up outdoors, posters are part of the public sphere. In the best examples, their visual message does not only serve an advertising purpose, but has artistic merit in itself. Today, given the huge variety of advertising media, ranging from trendy neon signs to large screen displays in cities, posters on hoardings and billboards are few and far between. However, no matter whether produced in large quantities using offset printing or as single copies, posters still have the potential to be relevant to our lives. They share a commonality with books, as a printed medium in a digital world. It is a great honour for Verlag Kettler, as an art book publisher, to be responsible for the publication of 100 Beste Plakate starting in 2017, and to collaborate on the yearbooks, which are an extension of the competition in printed form. What a relief to know that paper still is, and will hopefully remain, a viable medium!
Alabaster Mentalis Sofie Muller
Sofie Muller, Indra Devriendt l
A feature on the moving and emotional alabaster sculptures, by artist Sofie Muller
l
Developed in collaboration with Geukens & De Vil Gallery
The Alabaster Mentalis series by the Ghent artist Sofie Muller (b. 1974) cannot fail to create an emotional impact. Her sculptures of isolated heads show their physical and psychological wounds in a manner that is simultaneously raw and poetic. Craftsmanship and aesthetics engage in a striking dialogue with the irregular alabaster. In these works, Muller subtly depicts the universality of the human condition. This book was developed in collaboration with Geukens & De Vil Gallery.

In an area previously levelled to make way for an opencast mine, Haus Mödrath is a 19th century villa opened in April 2017 as a centre for contemporary art. The classicist mansion and the surrounding park are both part of a project that aims to unite nature and culture. The inaugural exhibition curated by Veit Loers extends across the building’s four floors, boasting a total area of 1000 square metres. It will be on display until November 2018. Instead of putting on a static group exhibition, the curator invited a number of contemporary artists to move in as temporary subtenants, or ‘Aftermieter’ as they used to be called in German. While the usual furnishings have been removed, the pictures and objects that can be found both inside and outside are arranged in a way that offers surprising perspectives on the contemporary art scene.

The Marzona Collection Hamburger Bahnhof - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin l
The first ever overview of the impressive Marzona collection in all its diversity
Beginning in the 1960s, the German-Italian gallerist and publisher Edigio Marzona has created one of the largest and most significant art collections on twentieth-century avant-garde movements that includes works of conceptual art, minimal art and arte povera from America and Europe. It has been housed at Staatliche Museen zu Berlin since 2002. Based on an exhibition series hosted by the Hamburger Bahnhof contemporary art museum in Berlin over a period of two and a half years, the book is the first ever overview of the collection in all its diversity. Its chapters are headed by the letters of the alphabet, and address representative ideas, individual positions, significant historical exhibitions and artistic genres of the 1960s and ‘70s. The first chapter, for instance, offers insights into the Italian ‘Arte Povera’ movement, while chapter ‘Handlung’ (‘action’) discusses the performative aspects of art; and the part of the book entitled ‘Kubus’ (‘cube’) focuses on geometrical forms in minimalism. All chapters are prefixed by short texts, such as the seminal essay Escape Attempts by the American curator and critic Lucy Lippard. With its wealth of material and key works, texts and documents, this book is a new and essential work of reference.

The Wilhelm-Hack-Museum has put on an exhibition showing early works by Alfred Kubin, alongside outstanding examples of contemporary art Featured works by: Thomas Feuerstein, Alfred Kubin, Henrique Oliveira, Hans Op de Beeck, Markus Schinwald, Stéphane Thidet and others
With his mythical depictions of demons and fabulous creatures, the Austrian graphic artist and illustrator Alfred Kubin (1877-1959) was an early representative of surrealism. Like other followers of this early 20th century movement, he rejected purely rational behaviour and explored the depths of the unconscious instead. In 1909, he published his novel The Other Side, (Die andere Seite) a classic example of the fantastic genre that tells a cryptically absurd story of a dream kingdom in decline, replete with references to metaphysics and gnostic philosophy. Borrowing the novel’s title, the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum has put on an exhibition showing early works by Alfred Kubin alongside outstanding examples of contemporary art. The exhibition is designed in a way that aims to stimulate the imagination, and to highlight hints of surrealism in international contemporary artworks.

Christo (b.1935) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) always compared their work to that of urban planners The very fact that their projects are subject to approval by local authorities makes them seem more like public construction projects than works of art
For the first time, a comprehensive account of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s urban projects is provided in this book. It presents preparatory drawings, collages and models for many little-known works from the artists’ early careers, some of which were never carried out, such as: the planned wrapping of several New York City skyscrapers, as well as the spectacular large-scale projects of later years: as the wrapping of the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris in 1985; the wrapping of the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1995 and the 2005 installation The Gates in New York’s Central Park. In two detailed essays the authors of the book explore Christo’s extraordinary talent for drawing and investigate the artists’ ambivalent perspective on urban space, which oscillates between a powerful critique of the city’s impersonal modernism and a tribute to the liberal, democratic use of urban areas.

Catalogues the works of an interdisciplinary association of artists and architects, who aspired to synthesise the fine and applied arts in socialist Yugoslavia in the 1950s A selection of representative works and collaborative projects, in conjunction with an exhibition, show the interdisciplinary outlook of the EXAT-51 group, exploring their attempt to position their ideals in everyday life under socialist rule
In Autumn 2017, Kunstmuseen Krefeld took a fresh look at the legacy of the Bauhaus in the context of the former Eastern Bloc in the postwar period. With exhibitions in the two villas by Mies van der Rohe and a focus on ‘Ideology, Abstraction and Architecture’, Kunstmuseen Krefeld carried out pioneering work in reappraising a unique artistic movement and raising public awareness. By presenting a selection of representative works and collaborative projects, the exhibition and book show the interdisciplinary outlook of the EXAT-51 group and their attempt to position their ideals in everyday life under socialist rule. They designed pavilions for World’s Fairs as well as trade fairs, furniture, tapestries, magazines, objects, sculptures and animated films. In addition, this volume contains numerous essays, shedding light on the artistic statements in view of the sociopolitical context in Yugoslavia in the 1950s and 1960s, and many primary sources. This is the first time, this movement and its positions have been scientifically researched.

Federico Herrero Sies + Höke l
l
An overview of the work of Federico Herrero, one of Latin America’s most eminent contemporary artists Herrero’s landscape paintings always aim to be down-to-earth; they involve the people who inhabit the areas that inspire him, which are often impoverished
Federico Herrero is one of Latin America’s most eminent contemporary artists. In 2001, at the age of only twenty, he won the award for best young artist at the Venice Biennale curated by Harald Szeemann. His hometown of San José is an important point of reference for him and serves as a kind of laboratory for his explorations of the world. Despite being firmly anchored in the international art scene, he still lives and works in his native environment. Herrero paints abstract and colorful paintings exclusively of landscapes. He sometimes uses canvasses in extremely large formats, but also creates works in the public sphere. Whether painting high-rise façades in São Paulo, bridge piers in Columbia or fishermen’s huts in Basel, he always engages in a productive dialogue with architecture. His paintings are not meant to be elitist but part of everyday life. He aims to get involved, often selecting deprived areas and inviting local young people to take part in his work. His art is not designed to change society, but to provide opportunities for critical perception.

Yang Jiechang, Texts and Works 1982-2016
Martina Koeppel-Yang l
With rare and unpublished photographs, reproductions and texts, this is the new essential Yang Jiechang overview, published on the occasion of the artist’s 60th birthday
Yang Jiechang was born in 1956. He belongs to the so-called second generation of contemporary artists in China, growing up during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The beginning of his artistic career coincided with China’s political opening in the late 1970s and 1980s. Yang’s journey from the cultural periphery to the cultural centre of Western Europe is reflected in his artistic career. For him personally, Yang describes this period as one of retreat into introspection and reinvention of identity. His series Hundred Layers of Ink, large monochrome black ink paintings, reveal this position. In the late 1990s, figurative paintings and videos superseded Yang’s monochrome meditative inks. His works now refers to critical subjects and actual events. With rare and unpublished photographs, reproductions and texts, this is the new essential Yang Jiechang overview, published on the occasion of the artist’s 60th birthday. Printed on textured paper that resembles the artist’s ink paintings, and complete with a separate fan folded booklet with details of his large-sized works, the publication is a unique and visually appealing artist’s book.

At the age of 81, Yvon Lambert is one of the most influential collectors of our time. He was only 14 years old when he used his pocket money to buy his first work of art. In 1966, he opened his own gallery in Paris, which soon became a top venue for contemporary art. It was Lambert who introduced the minimal art, land art and conceptual art movements to a wider European audience at a time when they were still relatively new. Besides his work as an art dealer, Lambert has spent the past fifty years creating one of the most prominent collections of contemporary art. In 2011, he donated more than 600 of his works to the French state, which are now on display in a specially dedicated museum in Avignon. In the context of the art project Skulptur Projekte Münster 2017, the Pablo Picasso Art Museum in Münster brings the Lambert Collection to Germany for the first time. In particular, the exhibition features works of artists who have been part of the Skulptur Projekte programme since its early years. Some of their works include installations that still exist in the city today.
Salwa Aleryani
Intending Probability Künstlerhaus Bethanien l
Part of an on going series collecting the work of young artists on residency in Berlin, from a diverse range of countries from Latin America to the Middle East
The sculptures and installations by Salwa Aleryani, born 1982 in Yemen, prompt a vast range of associations in the viewer. Her works are evocative of arte povera, then again of American minimal art, but defy any categorisation. The artist places strong emphasis on the material that is of fundamental importance to her. In general, she uses basic everyday materials and devices available in any hardware store, thus conjuring up an aura of domestic DIY. Although the shapes she creates remain essentially abstract, they nevertheless trigger memories of streets, buildings, cities - situations we encounter in public places day in, day out. By intentionally giving her works an imperfect, unfinished look, Aleryani refers to the production process and at the same time to the decay of all things. Does the result satisfy expectations, will it last? Even if her works inevitably seem reminiscent of the war-ridden towns of her native country, this is merely suggested; it never becomes specific. Aleryani provides no direct clues and ultimately creates universally valid images.

The KfW Foundation and the cultural centre Künstlerhaus Bethanien are collaborating on a studio programme offering a twelve-month residency in Berlin to young artists from Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Verlag Kettler presents the artistic work of the grant holders in an on-going series. Matheus Rocha Pitta has created a new group of works entitled For the Winners the Potatoes. Rocha Pitta’s performative installations at Künstlerhaus Bethanien and in the underground stations allow him to interact with the public. He presents trophies that are made of plastic bags or concrete instead of gold, silver or bronze, and invites visitors to take along potatoes as victory trophies. His work deconstructs the concept of victory and the hierarchy of winners and losers, creating a dense network of historical references going back to Ancient Greece and asking fundamental questions about the meaning of gestures, the community and its value. Rocha Pitta portrays his trophies with a mocking sense of humor. By connecting glory with mundane, everyday objects, he aims to subvert the hierarchy of winners and losers and invites the spectator to rethink the meaning of victory and defeat.

Developed by women artists born in Arab countries, this exhibition presents the concept of cultural boundaries, and the crossing of those boundaries, from their own perspective, rather than as a westernized distillation Focuses on the diversity of the women’s artistic styles, this catalogue devotes ample space to their particular biographical and national details
Contemporary art production in Arab countries still remains largely unexplored. Often general and trite assumptions are made distinguishing between East and West, Arabic-Islamic and WesternChristian civilization, without addressing each culture’s specific characteristics in appropriate ways. Aware of the fact that the reception of art from these countries calls for a new approach, the museum for contemporary art, Marta in Herford, Germany, has invited nine female artists from Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran and Iraq to share their work. They all came to the West as university students or exiles, and most of them never returned to their homes. This exhibition focuses on their works of art and devotes ample space to the particular biographical and national details in the lives of these women. The diversity of their artistic styles links many different aspects, reflecting on the concept of cultural boundaries, and the crossing of those boundaries, as well as the on-going conflicts and upheaval in their home countries.

An unknown artistic universe showing the fabulous history of Chinese artists who fled to Taiwan
At the end of the 1940s, in the troubled political context of the Chinese civil war and the subsequent seizure of power by Mao Zedong, over a million Chinese left the mainland to seek refuge in Taiwan. In the new world that opened to them, the artists gradually discovered the abstract art of the schools in New York and Paris. Abstraction became a means for them to become part of the international modernist movement, while expressing their deep cultural roots. At the crossroads of the East and West, they created a unique art that led to the regeneration of 20th century Chinese painting.

Filled with anecdotal peculiarities on the social and cultural context in which Rubens lived Includes practical routes that help readers discover for themselves: city walks, car routes, museum visits, etc. The Great Atlas of the Old Flemish Masters will be a three-part compendium presenting the three most globally influential Old Flemish Masters: The Peter Paul Rubens Atlas (2018), The Van Eyck Atlas (2019), The Bruegel Atlas (2019)
This is the first title in a new prestigious cultural tourism project by Lannoo Publishers. The Peter Paul Rubens Atlas illustrates the life of Rubens on a timeline: important dates and periods in the life of the Old Master are indicated and elaborated on in the main part of the book through text, images and maps. One of those maps could for example show Peter Paul Rubens’ stay in Italy or his diplomatic journeys, but it could also take the reader on a city walk through Antwerp, visiting places that are linked to Rubens and his work. The maps are designed to reflect the age in which the artist lived. More than striving for artistic comprehensiveness in terms of art history, these atlases are intended to reflect the context in which the artists lived, worked and flourished.
Zurbarán
Jacob and His Twelve Sons, Paintings from Auckland Castle
Edited by Susan Grace Galassi, Edward Payne, Mark A. Roglán l
This book dives into the details of the impressive series of paintings known as “Jacob and His Twelve Sons” by seventeenth-century master Francisco de Zurbarán
The impressive series of paintings known as “Jacob and His Twelve Sons” portrays thirteen largerthan-life-size figures by Spanish master Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664). Painted between 1640 and 1644, the series depicts chapter 49 of the Book of Genesis and the moment of Jacob’s deathbed blessings to his sons, who would go on to found the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Brought to England in the eighteenth century, the works form part of the Auckland Castle Trust, which today holds one of the most significant public collections of the artist’s work outside Spain. Since 2016, “Jacob and His Twelve Sons” has been on extended loan in order to undergo a thorough technical study. The works are being examined with infrared reflectography, ultra-violet light, and x-radiography, and will undergo medium and pigment analysis to help shed light on the artistic construction of the series. This publication will chronicle the scientific analysis and also provide focused art historical studies of the works. Essays will cover the iconography of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, the history of the canvases, and Zurbarán’s artistic practices and visual sources. With this comprehensive and varied approach, the book will constitute the most extensive contribution to the scholarship on one of the most ambitious series by this Golden Age master.

“Jan Fabre is a monumental artistic personality”
- the New York Times
With Medusa’s Raft (1818) by Théodore Géricault and Art is (Not) Lonely (1986) by Jan Fabre as a starting point, curators Jan Fabre and Joanna De Vos organised an exhibition at different locations in Ostend with established and new paintings by 75 artists. Among them are painters and sculptors such as Luc Tuymans and Michaël Borremans, but also performance artists and theatre producers like Romeo Castellucci and Marina Abramovic. The exhibition is centred around the artists’ expedition and destination, which is also the theme of the Human Condition by Magritte. Two years ago, nearly 100,000 art enthusiasts visited the late Jan Hoet’s exhibition, The Sea, and its sequel, The Raft, aspires to the same success.

André Kneib
The Radiance of Color, the Vibrancy of Ink
Steve Goldberg l
This is the first comprehensive study of the contemporary French painter and calligrapher André Kneib
André Kneib: The Radiance of Color, the Vibrancy of Ink is the first comprehensive introduction to the remarkable calligraphic art of André Kneib (b. 1953), an artist and scholar living in the Alsace region of France. Kneib has gained fame and recognition in China for his highly innovative works in the traditional medium of Chinese calligraphy. This study establishes his place and defining role in the history and development of contemporary Chinese calligraphy. Foremost among his many contributions is the integration of acrylic colour with the traditional medium of brush and ink, forging a synthesis of the painterly and the gestural that has truly revolutionised the practice of Chinese calligraphy. Situating this discussion in the context of the global cultural economy, it frames an understanding of contemporary art, which can no longer be defined simply within the borders of a national cultural provenance.

T’Ang Haywen - Diptychs Various authors l
This is the first comprehensive study of the Diptychs of the contemporary painter T’ang Haywen
T’ang Haywen (1927-1991) belongs to the second generation of Chinese artists who settled in Paris after WWII. With Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013) and Chu Teh-Chun (1920-2014) he is considered as the inventor of a new pictural language between abstraction and figuration, between East and West. But T’ang is known for his detachment from all materialistic concerns leading to his early return to the medium of ink. Indeed in the late 1960s T’ang started to paint in recurring formats and adopted his famous diptych format for which he is now recognised. Indeed, no other painter has systematically used the diptych format as T’ang did it. This format obtained by the juxtaposition of two sheets separated by a line creates a window, a space of freedom for the most direct and immediate expression of his feelings. The diptych. This process is embodied in poetic transpositions worthy of the greatest creators of the 20th century.

Eileen Agar: 1899-1991
Ann Simpson with David Gascoyne and Andrew Lambirth l
The only monograph on this important British surrealist available for under £30
Eileen Agar’s career spanned over seventy years, during which time she continually experimented with a wide range of techniques and subject matter. She is often categorised as a Surrealist, and much to her surprise, she was among those British artists chosen to exhibit alongside Dalí, Ernst and Miró in the International Surrealist Exhibition held in London in 1936. While her association with Surrealism greatly enhanced her reputation, she never saw her work simply in terms of that movement. She drew equally from Cubism and abstraction to form a uniquely individual style with which to express her surrealistic fantasies. Originally published in 1999.

Emil Nolde Colour is Life
Keith Hartley, Sean Rainbird, Christian Weikop, Frances Blythe & Astrid Becker l
Accompanies an exhibition of the same name to be shown at the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin from 14 February to 10 June 2018 and at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, from 14 July to 21 October 2018
Emil Nolde (1867-1956) was one of the greatest colourists of the twentieth century. An artist passionate about his north German home near the Danish border, with its immense skies, flat, windswept landscapes and storm-tossed seas, he was equally fascinated by the demi-monde of Berlin’s cafés and cabarets, the busy to and fro of tugboats in the port of Hamburg and the myriad of peoples and places he saw on his trip to the South Seas in 1914. Nolde felt strongly about what he painted, identifying with his subjects in every brushstroke he made, heightening his colours and simplifying his shapes, so that we, the viewers, can also experience his emotional response to the world about him. This book features five essays and over 100 illustrations drawn from the incomparable collection of the Emil Nolde Foundation in Seebüll (the artist’s former home in north Germany). It covers Nolde’s complete career, from his early atmospheric paintings of his homeland right through to the intensely coloured, so-called ‘unpainted paintings’, works done on small pieces of paper during the Third Reich when Nolde was branded ‘degenerate’ and forbidden to work as an artist.

In a newly commissioned text, award-winning novelist, screenwriter and director Ewan Morrison focuses on these three sculptures to explore the complexity and ambiguity of Coley’s artistic practice. Morrison brings into play different narrative forms and voices to draw attention to the realms of history, art history and politics that Coley’s work inhabits, as well as the deeply personal responses that Coley’s work can generate.
The Monarch of the Glen Christopher Baker l
Explores the fascinating and complicated history of the iconic painting, The Monarch of the Glen, and contributes to the debates it continues to stimulate
The Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) is one of the most celebrated paintings of the nineteenth century. It was acquired by the National Galleries of Scotland in 2017. In this new book, the first to focus in detail on this iconic picture, Christopher Baker explores its complex and fascinating history. He places Landseer’s work in the context of the artist’s meteoric career, considers the circumstances of its high-profile commission and its extraordinary subsequent reputation. When so much Victorian art fell out of fashion, Landseer’s Monarch took on a new role as marketing image, bringing it global recognition. It also inspired the work of many other artists, ranging from Sir Bernard Partridge and Ronald Searle to Sir Peter Blake and Peter Saville. Today the picture has an intriguing status, being seen by some as a splendid celebration of Scotland’s natural wonders and by others as an archaic trophy. This publication will make a significant contribution to the debates that it continues to stimulate. ISBN: 9781911054177 National Galleries of Scotland 190 x 170mm. 64 pp., 30 col.

A New Era
Scottish Modern Art 1900-1950 Alice Strang l
Accompanies an exhibition to be held at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh from 2 December 2017 to 10 June 2018
Revealing an alternative story of modern Scottish art, A New Era examines the most experimental work of Scottish artists during the first half of the 20th century. It challenges the accepted view of the dominance of the Scottish Colourists and uncovers the hitherto little-known progressive Scottish art world. Through these works, we can see the commitment of Scottish artists to the progress of art through their engagement and interpretation of the great movements of European modern art, from Fauvism and Expressionism, to Cubism, Art Deco, abstraction and Surrealism, among others. Looking at the most advanced work of high-profile artists such as William Gillies and Stanley Cursiter, and lesser-known talents, like Tom Pow and Edwin G. Lucas, A New Era takes its name from the group established in Edinburgh in 1939 to show surreal and abstract work by its members.

ISBN: 9781911054146 National Galleries of Scotland 215 x 165mm. 48 pp., 20 col. Available £7.95, Hardback
A new look at work by Caravaggio, one of the most famous and fascinating artists of all time
Caravaggio’s astonishingly naturalistic and provocative Cupid Victorious hung in the palace of a famous family at the heart of seventeenth-century Rome. Helen Langdon explores how the artist, famed for his originality, created a balance between a suggestion of his own world - a world of lively and rowdy street life - and a complex and ambiguous response to both ancient and Renaissance art and literature. Langdon also looks at the challenge the painting threw out to contemporary painters, whose world was characterised by extreme and bitter rivalries; often they reject his irony, sometimes embellish the painting’s sexuality, and at other times convey an opposing sense of the harmony of the arts.

Random Imaginations
A Collection of Illustrated Musings Eddie Chau l
A collection of thousands of tiny freehand sketches drawn from imagination reproduced from a single sketchbook
This book is a reproduction of thousands of graphic images from a single sketchbook, drawn over the course of twenty-seven years. As a way to challenge the approach of drawing what is in front of the artist, these freehand sketches are a collection of images from imagination and memory. What started as an exercise to break out of a design block, these images began on a single sheet and then became a visual journey and exploration of landscapes, everyday items, architecture, abstracts and compositions. Like the original sketchbook, Random Imaginations is a visual catalogue of countless subjects and visions, to be used as discovery, inspiration, or just casual viewing. The idea was to publish a reproduction of a sketchbook of drawings that can be used as a visual resource and inspiration - a companion book rather than being a ‘how to’ or instructional book. It is like a photo album of freehand drawn images and is meant to be an enjoyable book to have by your side.

Drawing as a Way to See Frank Harmon l
l
Frank Harmon is recognised as a purveyor of good design by his students, peers and clients. In 2013, he received the F. Carter Williams Gold Medal from the North Carolina chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIANC), the highest honour bestowed upon a North Carolina architect. Harmon’s firm, Frank Harmon Architect, has been named in Architect magazine’s ‘Top 50’ list three times
Native Places is a collection of sixty-four watercolour sketches that are paired with mini-essays about architecture, landscape, everyday objects and nature. The sketches relate the delight found in ordinary places. The short essays, rather than repeat what is visible in the sketch, illustrate ideas and thoughts sparked by that image and offer a fresh interpretation of ordinary things. The goal of Native Places is, in part, to transform the way we see. Through its pages, barns become a guidebook to crops and weather; a country church is redolent of the struggle for civil rights and human dignity; a highway rest-stop offers a glimpse of egalitarian society. This book also explores the belief that hand drawing and writing are not obsolete skills. Both disciplines offer us as citizens, the opportunity to develop a natural grace in the way we view the world and take part in it.

The book presents half a century’s worth of Japanese-style fish and shellfish prints in full colour, by artist, scientist, and all-around fish-enthusiast Chris Dewees. We follow his evolution, from being exposed to the fascinating gyotaku style as a graduate student, to his current status as an internationally recognised master in the field. He documents his journey and growth by sharing fifty years of experiences and adventures. In recent years Dewees has done more writing, and these stories and poems are linked to his art.

Presents 100 comments, re-interpretations, and appropriations on and of works by Mies Features work by celebrated artists, designers, film directors, photographers, cartoonists, and architects
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) is undoubtedly one of the most significant and influential architects ever. To the present day, his designs and realised buildings, as well as his thinking and writings, continue to initiate many controversial debates on the achievements and failures of modern architecture. Yet not only architects and urban designers have been inspired or appalled by Mies. This new book demonstrates that his influence reaches far beyond the boundaries of professional architecture. Almost Nothing collects work by 100 painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, designers, cartoonists, and architects who comment on the buildings, designs, and statements by, or images of, the legendary architect. The works also form a 100-fold re-interpretation of Mies van der Rohe’s life and oeuvre. New York-based architect and writer Christian Bjone in his accompanying text provides rich background information on the individual artists and the depicted art works. The book’s title refers to a statement by Mies himself on one of his celebrated masterpieces, Crown Hall on IIT campus in Chicago, which ingeniously combines simplicity with complexity.

l
A vital guide for anyone with an interest in this contemporary artist
This book explains Giacometti’s purpose: to exorcise an existential void through his artistic return to the human figure. The question that dominated his work was how to restore in art the sense of the presence of the being in space. Giacometti sought tirelessly to establish the contingent volume of his figures, which became increasingly slender and threadlike, and to place the finiteness of the humanoid frame in reality. He began to develop heads and nudes modelled in the void. During that experience of nothingness, which opposed his quest for the absolute, he discovered a metaphor for the human condition.

Alberto Giacometti A Retrospective
Veronique Wiesinger l
l
The long essay Veronique Wiesinger has devoted to analysing Giacometti’s work is one of the deepest contributions to recent historiography The Swiss-born sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) is best known for his bronzes depicting ghostly and attenuated figures, which made him a key figure of twentieth-century sculpture
This impressive monograph is a compilation of the in-depth studies produced over the course of a decade by Véronique Wiesinger, director of the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti in Paris. In contrast with the scholars who focus their analysis on the crisis of the Second World War, Ms.Wiesinger believes the real break is one of a philosophical, and not historical, nature: it is permanent and integral to the work. There is a deep unity in Giacometti’s approach to art, one that Michael Brenson underscored when he devoted his 1974 doctoral thesis to Giacometti’s prewar works, which he first identified as the key to understanding the rest of the artist’s production. Indeed, these crises could more fruitfully be considered as oscillations, twists and turns, pendular movements or moments of epiphany. They were also plateaus for the artist to adjust and integrate his successive discoveries on the perception of reality. In these eight short illustrated essays, supported by biographical information, the book surveys the whole of Giacometti’s career, from his relationship with his father to the importance of time and space in his work.

The Authorship, Authentication and Falsification of Artworks Lluís Peñuelas l
A key tool for analysing the concept of authorship in the internet age
Determining the authorship and originality of artistic works is essential for fully enjoying art, and for the correct functioning of the market and many cultural centres. It is one of the tasks falling not only to institutions but also to artists’ foundations, museums, public administrations, academics, gallery owners and art collectors. All those involved with this part of the artistic world encounter problems. This book, derived from an international seminar organised by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation shares the knowledge, experience and opinions of some of the most prestigious experts on these subjects. Furthermore, it provides some new angles, proposals and linguistic elements that can help to understand the difficulties presented by the topic and to improve its legal regulation.

Within these paintings and drawings, Paul McCarthy expertly weaves the history of painting with contemporary motifs in dramatic scenes that expose latent desire and exploit the uncomfortable space where childhood innocence meets adult knowledge
Paul McCarthy (b. Salt Lake City, 1945) is one of the most provocative and influential living voices in contemporary art. This over-sized book - between a monograph and an artist book - was conceived by the artist himself, and collects McCarthy’s paintings that represent the latest iteration of two major on-going projects within his multi-disciplinary practice: White Snow and Coach Stage Stage Coach. White Snow, usually a paragon of feminine virtue, is depicted as a garishly made-up, despoiled protagonist. Beginning as a suite of drawings in 2009, the series has since evolved into a multiplatform narrative of McCarthy’s own making. Coach Stage Stage Coach is McCarthy’s second long-term project, based on the film of the same name, a 1939 American Western by John Ford. A repeated castration theme is conveyed through textual references scrawled across the paintings like a mantra: ‘CUT OFF THE HEAD / CUT OFF THE PENIS’. Together, the CSSC paintings function as unscripted storyboards in which McCarthy reverberates between the central Stage Coach motif and male icons of the film industry in a series of sexual dreamscapes which form a starting point for a future Coach Stage Stage Coach performance and film.

From Michelangelo’s marbles to photographers’ self-portraits, artists have always been fascinated by their creative encounters with the human body. Often a key part of their early training, drawing and sculpting from life go on to inform their later work in unexpected and inspiring ways. This illuminating publication brings together interviews with 19 artists from all disciplines, including painters, sculptors and conceptual artists, working in a variety of different media. Through in-depth conversations with them, the authors explore the many ways artists work ‘from life’: from Jeremy Deller’s open life class with Iggy Pop as model, to Jonathan Yeo’s innovative use of 3D scanners and virtual reality. An introductory essay provides the historical context for a practice deeply rooted in artistic tradition. Generously illustrated with reproductions of the artists’ work and photography of their working methods, this book overturns many of our prior assumptions about working from life.

The internationally renowned British artist Grayson Perry, winner of the Turner Prize in 2003, is a vivid chronicler of contemporary life. His work abounds with autobiographical references, which can be read in tandem with issues relating to class, taste and the status of artists and artisans. Packed with vivid images, and a number of gatefold pages, this book provides an overview of Perry’s fascinating career focusing on his work in a variety of media ranging from ceramic and tapestry to embroidery and print. The acclaimed art historian and biographer Jenny Uglow provides a personal insight into Perry’s work, and an interview between Perry and Tim Marlow, the RA’s Artistic Director, reveals the many sides of Perry’s personality. This book accompanies the exhibition ‘Making Meaning’, curated by Erin Manns and the first exhibition in a three-year collaboration between The Gallery at Windsor and the Royal Academy.
John Constable The Leaping Horse Richard Humphreys l
An engaging examination of one of the Royal Academy’s most important treasures, the painting described by Lucian Freud as ‘the greatest painting in the world’
Each year between 1819 and 1825, John Constable submitted a monumental canvas to the Royal Academy of Arts in London for display in the annual Exhibition. These so-called ‘six-footers’ vividly captured the life of the River Stour in Suffolk, where Constable grew up and where he returned to paint each year. The Leaping Horse, the last of these, is now a major work in the Academy’s collection, and is the subject of this fascinating new book, the latest in the Royal Academy’s studies of its masterworks. The art historian Richard Humphreys explores Constable’s often avant-garde working methods, as well as his struggle to gain full acceptance within the art establishment of the early nineteenth century. With reproductions of the artist’s full-scale preliminary sketches as well as brand new photography of the painting itself, this book is the ideal companion for art lovers who seek a deeper appreciation of Constable’s iconic depictions of the English countryside.

The Great Spectacle
200 Years of the Summer Exhibition Mark Hallett and Sarah Victoria Turner l
l
A fascinating study of the longest-running annual exhibition of contemporary art, the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, illustrated with works by many of the great names of British art including Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, J. M. W. Turner, John Constable, David Hockney, Grayson Perry and Tracey Emin Accompanies an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts from 12 June to 19 August 2018
The Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition is the world’s longest running annual display of contemporary art, and one of its largest. Ever since 1769 the Academy’s exhibition rooms have been crowded for some two months each year with thousands of paintings and sculptures by many of Britain’s leading artists. These spectacular displays have provided artists with crucial competition, inspiration and publicity, and captured the interest of millions of visitors. The Great Spectacle takes the reader on a fascinating journey to tell the story of these exhibitions. Many treasured works of British art were first shown on the walls of the RA: portraits by Reynolds and Gainsborough, the mighty landscapes of Turner and Constable, and the Pre-Raphaelites, who caused such a critical and cultural furore. The chapter on the twentieth century will reveal the RA’s relationship with British modernism, right up to the 2018 Summer Exhibition, which will be coordinated by Grayson Perry CBE RA.

The Miserable Lives of Fabulous Artists Chris Orr l
l
Celebrate the lives of the fabulously artistic, as they come up against Chris Orr’s irreverent wit To coincide with a show of the works at the Royal Academy of Arts, London
The talented printmaker and Royal Academician Chris Orr turns his humorous gaze on some of the most famous - and fabulous - artists of the past. With over 30 new works, accompanied by Orr’s captions, artists from Edward Hopper to Pablo Picasso find themselves in weird and wonderful situations. Edvard Munch holidays at the seaside, John Constable RA is disturbed at his easel by frolicking nudists and an unfortunate incident occurs in Barbara Hepworth’s studio... No one can escape Orr’s imagination: Walter Sickert is distracted from a spread-eagled model by a fly in his soup, Dame Laura Knight RA is caught shoplifting, and Frida Kahlo enjoys a fry-up. Each image is packed with detail to pore over, and the book concludes with notes from the artist, ‘Notes from the Cages’, accompanied by preparatory drawings for the finished work. This new collection, published to coincide with an exhibition of Orr’s works at the Royal Academy, is a delightful fantasy, which affectionately pokes fun at well-loved artists.

Dangerous Women presents works from the rich holdings of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art that explore different artists’ responses to the women of the Bible Evokes a politically charged theme celebrating the strength of women and their ability to take back power in adverse circumstances Features contributions from leading scholars of feminist and Renaissance art
The Old and New Testaments are full of compelling female characters: good wives and bad, courageous heroines, and deceptive - sometimes deadly - femmes fatales. Dangerous Women presents works from the rich holdings of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art that explore different artists’ responses to the women of the Bible. Paintings by Pietro da Cortona, Francesco Cairo, and Fede Galizia and others stand as a reminder of how dangerous biblical women have continued to loom large in the modern imagination. These stories in this volume show how narratives of power are constructed, interpreted, and continue to evolve over the course of time. While some women saved their people, were paragons of virtue, or repented, others were purveyors of sin, harlots, and seductresses. Even if it was through their misbehaviour, all of these women - from Mary Magdalene, to Judith and Esther, to Salome and Potiphar’s Wife - shaped biblical history.
Frans Hals Museum Director’s Choice Ann Demeester l
Celebrates the coming together in early 2018 of two of Haarlem’s premier galleries, the Frans Hals Museum and De Hallen Haarlem
The Frans Hals Museum has attracted interest since it opened in 1913. Its collection of Haarlem Old Masters of the Golden Age, including the world’s largest collection of paintings by Frans Hals, is unique. The collection reflects the radical changes that painting underwent in the early seventeenth century, with Haarlem providing fertile soil for a new expression of art to flourish. In the same way De Hallen Haarlem provides a platform for innovations in modern and contemporary art, positioning itself unequivocally as the champion of a living culture. In early 2018 the Frans Hals Museum and De Hallen Haarlem, which already operate as a single organisation behind the scenes, will become one museum under the name Frans Hals Museum. Each location will offer a new and distinctive programme of exhibitions in which traditional and contemporary art are shown side by side. The latest title in Scala’s Director’s Choice series celebrates the coming together of these two art institutions, with a selection of works which speak personally to the Director and reflect the synergy between the two collections.

Futurelics
Robert Mars Past is Present DTR Modern Art Galleries l
The first publication of contemporary pop artist Robert Mars’ collage art, intertwines notions of legacy and identity in his Futurelics Popforms
Futurelics: Past is Present is the first publication of the work of contemporary artist Robert Mars that earned comparisons with Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Diebenkorn, James Rosenquist, and other Pop Art masters. Taking inspiration from the golden age of American popular culture and the iconography of the 1950s and 60s, Mars employs a rich colour palette in collage art. Often tongue-in-cheek, his signature neon Futurelics Popforms pay homage to the power of iconic branding, gripping beauty, and whimsical imagery cultivated by the urgent pressures that evolved from post-WWII to the present. Mars’ optimism recalls a time when instant digital celebrity was inconceivable - when people lived with the myth of uniquely untouchable icons - the Futurelics - Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Elvis Presley, and many others. Futurelics are what have lasting impact - what births a legacy, larger than life, larger than lifestyle. That is Futurelics.

Ground-breaking new research offers a contribution to the field of perception in contemporary art
Featuring sculptural, sound-based, and language-based artworks, this fascinating volume explores the experiential, psychological, and metaphorical implications of blindness and invisibility in recent American art. New research addresses the paradox of why and how numerous sighted and unsighted artists, normally considered to be ‘visual artists’ such as William Anastasi, Robert Morris, Joseph Grigely and Lorna Simpson, have challenged the primacy of vision as a bearer of perceptual authority. Their work explores what resides on the other side of the visual field, prompting audiences to reflect upon the significance of what we cannot see, whether by choice, habit or physiological limitations, in the world around us. In so doing, they point to ways of knowing beyond what can be observed with the eyes, as well as to the invisible forces (societal, political, cultural) that govern our own frameworks of experience.

First and definitive book on the career of influential artist Toni Dove Debuts latest work The Dress That Eats Souls, which exists at the forefront of computer and robotic technology
This uniquely designed book presents the first survey of contemporary artist Toni Dove’s pioneering work at the crossroads of performance, cinema, and virtual reality. Credited as one of the innovators of “interactive cinema,” since the early 1990s, Toni Dove has created an oeuvre of “speculative technology” blending computer driven interactivity, live-mix performance and installation in projects, which examine histories of consumer culture through evolving technologies. Dove’s collaborative practice brings together visual artists, filmmakers, fashion designers, robotics engineers, computer programmers, musicians, actors, and writers-each at the vanguard of his or her own métier. Accompanying a major exhibition at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, this distinctively designed volume presents four of Dove’s most notable works, including the debut of her newest work The Dress That Eats Souls, which exists at the forefront of computer and robotic technology.

Glimpses of Eternity
Watercolours of Westminster Abbey Alexander Creswell l
A stunning new collection of watercolours of Westminster Abbey, published for the first time
Westminster Abbey has many identities - as a place of worship, theatre of state, resting place of kings and memorial to statesmen and poets. Internationally acclaimed artist Alexander Creswell captures its many facets in these stunning watercolours. The tranquillity and shifting light of the Abbey’s cloisters, chapels and library are captured here, along with the famous monuments of Poet’s Corner and spectacular views from the triforium, soon to become the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries. We also see moments in the life of the Abbey - from the celebration of the Eucharist, to the warmth and intimacy of the Carol service, to the magnificent wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. This book represents the culmination of a project that began in 2011, with the artist’s commission to paint the Royal Wedding. Some of his sketches are shown alongside the finished works, affording a fascinating glimpse into the artistic process. This beautiful book perfectly captures the spirit of the Abbey and will be a treasured memento for anyone who has been to admire it. Published to accompany an exhibition opening in spring 2018.

Barbara Davi - Train of Thought Nadine Olonetzky, Eveline Suter l
First monograph on Swiss artist Barbara Davi
Swiss artist Barbara Davi, born 1971, primarily works with the medias of installation and photocollage. Following her artistic education at Zurich’s School of Art and Design (today Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK) and Lucerne School of Art, Davi has developed her original style, working in threedimensional space as well as on two-dimensional surfaces, using architectural and geometric shapes and elements. Using wooden slats or a table, lines or a circular shape, light beams or a shadow, Davi creates quasi-drawings in space and photo-collages of a magical, almost three-dimensional depth. Her motifs emerge from a sequence of deliberations, from her ‘train of thought’. This first monograph on Barbara Davi features her striking work from the past ten years. Around 100 plates in colour and black and white are complemented by essays on Davi’s way of working in her preferred media.

The authoritative monograph on Max Bill, available again in a new edition (previous ISBN: 9783858812148) Essays by experts on Bill’s life and work
Swiss artist, architect, designer, typographer, and theorist Max Bill (1908-94) was one of the most important exponents of concrete and constructive art and a key figure in the history of 20thcentury European applied arts and design. Educated by such eminent teachers as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Walter Gropius at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Bill immediately displayed a genius for work in fields as diverse as painting, sculpture, architecture, typography and design from the outset of his career in the 1930s. In the 1950s, he teamed up with Inge Scholl and Otl Aicher to found the legendary Ulm College of Design in Ulm, of which he became the first director. In his work, Max Bill carried on the Bauhaus legacy, both as an artist and a teacher, and made a decisive and lasting contribution to 20th-century cultural life. The new edition of this authoritative and much sought-after monograph displays Bill’s wide-ranging work and sets him in the context of his cultural milieu by featuring works by his contemporaries, such as Kurt Schwitters, Wassily Kandinsky, and Donald Judd. Accompanying essays investigate Bill’s influence on other artists and the lasting importance of his oeuvre in the present.

Psychoanalyst Meets Marina Abramovic
Artist meets Jeannette Fischer Jeannette Fischer, Marina Abramovic l
An account of Marina Abramovic’s dialogue with psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer
l
A unique insight into the relationship between Abramovic’s biography and artistic work
In summer 2015, performance artist Marina Abramovic and psychoanalyst Jeannette Fischer spent four days together at Abramovic’s house in the Hudson Valley. Associating freely, they explored from a psychoanalytical perspective - Abramovic’s biography and art and what connects them. A better understanding of herself, her personality and her work, was Abramovic’s objective. She claims that conversations with artists abound, with one curator saying this and another saying that. Yet there is no book in which psychoanalysis puts her life and artistic work in context. This new book aims to fill this gap. Yet it is not a therapist’s report, nor a record of Fischer’s analysis of Abramovic. It records the dialogue between artist and analyst attempting an interpretation of Abramovic’s extraordinary violent performances that sometimes reach the brink of faint, even death. The book is arranged in a sequence of dialogues, separated by Fischer’s comments on and images of four of Abramovic’s performances to which the psychoanalyst refers.

Media activism in the analogue age: a unique testimonial of the video movement of the 1970s and 1980s in Switzerland and the UK, and its lasting effects
During the 1970s and 1980s, the independent community media and various youth movements across Europe inspired and abetted each other. The young activists discovered the videotape as a medium and as a means to express their protesting mood and concerns. The easily produced moving images in videos soon also became a weapon in the political and communication fights for the autonomous culture spaces the movement demanded in many countries. This appropriation of video technology as a means of two-way communication between sender and recipient also proved a key step towards the digital age. The young activist-directors of the 1970s and 1980s went beyond dreaming of such a development. They explored it and experimented within small networks. Rebel Video portrays protagonists of this activist movement in London, Basel, Berne, Lausanne, and Zurich. It documents which topics and concerns these creative rowdies picked up and the lasting effect their work has had up to today. Richly illustrated and completed with brief essays by expert authors on specific aspects of film documentary and video art, the book demonstrates and illuminates the significance and manifold facets of the community media movement.

Een Ontmoeting Tussen Woord en Beeld Katrin Dekoninck & Steven Van Der Heyden
Katrin Dekoninck is an all-round artist, showing mankind in raw honesty and lonely separation. Though the focus of this book is on her life-sized sculptures in clay, she is also skilled in drawing, painting and traditional (non-computer generated) animation. Her technical strength makes her images breathe. Serenely and with simplicity, she shapes her universe of searching people. Themes such as ‘identity’ and ‘aging’ link her oeuvre to the poetry of Steven Van Der Heyden. With words, he tries to find a way to make connections, to start a dialogue. His poems were written in interaction with Katrin’s sculptures. Together they make an organic unity of words and images. A fascinating encounter artfully captured through the lens of photographer Stef De Belder.

The Picture of Dorya Glenn Julie O’yang & Filip Naudts
A photographer stalks a writer after severely transforming and altering her portrait. Like a paparazzo he spies on her and observes her closely and intimately. He captures every single detail of her daily life through his lens while she writes the sci-fi story that is published in this book. However, he especially wants to find out how image manipulation affects her and her psyche, with fatal consequences. Next to the photographer, Dorya Glenn is the main protagonist in the sci-fi story. But who is she? The Picture of Dorya Glenn is a collaboration between photographer Filip Naudts and the Dutch-Chinese writer/visual artist Julie O’yang. It is a photographic romance noir, a dark surrealistic sci-fi photo novel in which the authors play the main characters: Julie in the shape of the extra-terrestrial Dorya Glenn, and Filip as himself.

Hilde Van de Walle & Patricia De Corte Hilde Van de Walle (b.1957) is a multi-disciplinary artist. In a period of 30 years she created a vast and highly appreciated oeuvre consisting of graphic art, paintings, ceramics and monumental bronzes. She often explores the mystery behind the human facade. As an artist she wants to achieve maximum expression with a minimal number of visual clues. Her images are actions frozen in time. It is the task of the spectator to fill in the preceding action or imagine the continuation of the movement. Her imagery is wilful; the artist dislocates normal anatomy and forces it into a new shape. Parts of the body are deliberately eliminated to come to the purest expression. The subdued charisma of the figures stimulates a dialogue with the environment and the spectator. The residual space between the images is no blank space, but acts as a sound box that amplifies the expression. Capturing the intangible in an image remains Hilde’s passionate ambition.

Marcos Martín Blanco and Elena Rueda began to acquire artworks in 1979. Over the years, the MER Foundation has gathered more than 800 works and includes important pieces from the best contemporary artists. The collection specialises in European and American figuration since 1980. This attention to figuration as distinct from painting and photography, has led Marcos and Elena to seek the masterpieces of artists such as Eric Fischl, Francesco Clemente, David Salle, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruff, Marlen Dumas, Lisa Yuscavage, Merilyn Minter, Luis Gordillo and Cecily Brown. The collection includes more than 180 artists: Miquel Barceló, José María Sicilia, Antoni Tàpies, Mompó, Palazuelo, Gordillo, Zóbel or Soledad Sevilla, among the Spanish artists, and Warhol, LeWitt, Oelen, Basquiat, David Sala or Julian Schnabel, among the international ones. In 2004 it was awarded the Collecting Prize by the ARCO art fair.

Contributions by Ariane van Suchtelen, Wouter Kloek and Mariët Westermann
Jan Steen, one of the most popular painters of the Dutch Golden Age, is known for his humorous depictions of dissolute households, tavern interiors, quacksalvers and lovesick young women. He was unrivalled in poking fun at every conceivable human weakness and vice. A lesser-known fact is that he also painted history scenes: pieces based on episodes from the Bible, apocryphal writings and mythology - stories full of excitement, drama and passion. As with his genre pieces, Steen devoted a great deal of attention in his history paintings to the interaction between the figures, and was keenly aware of the satirical possibilities in every story. In contrast with his later image, Jan Steen was a versatile and ambitious artist with a profound knowledge of art history and literature: knowledge that comes to the fore in his history pieces. This richly illustrated publication, written by experts on Jan Steen, focuses on a little-known part of the artist’s oeuvre. The book will be published to accompany the eponymous exhibition at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, the Netherlands.

The Art of Laughter
Humour in Dutch Paintings of the Golden Age
Anna Tummers, Elmer Kolfin and Jasper Hillegers. With contributions by Angela Jager, Noël Schiller, Eric Jan Sluijter and Mariët Westermann l
l
The Art of Laughter: Humour in Dutch Paintings of the Golden Age presents the first ever overview of humour in seventeenth-century painting Contains 60 masterpieces from painters such as Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Gerrit van Honthorst and Judith Leyster
Frans Hals is often called ‘the master of the laugh’. More than any other painter in the Golden Age he was able to bring a vitality to his portraits that made it appear as if his models could just step out of the past into the present. Hals was one of the few painters in the seventeenth century who dared portray his figures - often common folk - with a hearty laugh and bared teeth. Merriment and jokes are prominent features in his genre paintings; artists in the Golden Age frequently used it in their work. Now - centuries later - the visual jokes are harder to fathom. A great deal of new research into the field has been carried out, particularly in the last twenty years, and we are beginning to get an idea of the full extent of seventeenth-century humour. Published to accompany an exhibition at Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem, which runs until 18 March 2018.

New research concerning Rembrandt’s rivals: Ferdinand Bol and Govert Flinck Sixteen essays exploring the work of two of 17th-century Amsterdam’s most ambitious painters, Govert Flinck and Ferdinand Bol
This book presents sixteen essays exploring the work of two of 17th-century Amsterdam’s most ambitious painters, Govert Flinck and Ferdinand Bol. Museum curators, academic art historians, and conservation scientists from six different countries come together to investigate form, content, and context from a variety of perspectives. Eric Jan Slujter examines how changing patterns of patronage contributed to both artists’ stylistic evolution. Hilbert Lootsma traces the rise and fall of their critical fortunes from their own time until today. Ann Jensen Adams situates their work in the shifting market for portraiture. Jasper Hillegers explores the origins of Flinck’s career in the Leeuwarden studio of Lambert Jacobsz. Other authors present contextual and technical analyses of individual paintings. Portrait identities are revealed, painterly tricks uncovered, and both artists are shown to be influential teachers and members of an intellectual community in which art and theatre were closely linked. Many of these essays originated at an international conference held in preparation for the exhibition, Govert Flinck and Ferdinand Bol. Together, they shed new light on the methods and motivations of two artists who began as Rembrandt’s acolytes but soon became his rivals.

Learn how to ‘coach’ those around you, from employees to children, partners and friends
Often, managing and coaching employees is made out to be much more complex than it actually is. You don’t need difficult words, whether in sport or in business, to motivate people to do better and to enjoy what they do. Just apply a few simple principles from daily life and you’ll find that you can accomplish wonders. The authors have compiled a key selection of coaching principles in this book, sharing their own perspectives and experience. Former CEO of Atlas Copco Ronnie Leten, and sports coach Paul Van Den Bosch understand that there is a huge similarity between coaching skills in sport and in business. This isn’t strange - pressures in the business world and in our society in general are continually increasing. More than ever, we are expected to be flexible, to demonstrate resilience and to stay focused, even when confronted with problems and stress. Talent must have the chance to shine; we must build more trust; we must communicate more and communicate better. An experienced sports coach and a manager each have these key skills, and between them they cover all bases.

Find out who you really are; define what motivates you and what you stand for
“I think, therefore I am” Descartes wrote in the seventeenth century. As a result of all that thinking, our society has changed spectacularly. But in our success in designing space shuttles and robots, and in living our lives with ever increasing efficiency, we have somehow started to overlook the fact that people are made up of much more than just their minds. The unexpected downside of society’s frantic progress and its focus on reason is that many people are left feeling stressed and empty. Both at work and at home, they are confronted with huge levels of expectation that they simply cannot meet. The time has come to rediscover one’s true self. By asking the right questions, this book will help you find out who you really are, to define what motivates you and what you stand for. It will allow you to develop the necessary resilience to direct the story of your life, even during difficult times. After all, it is only when our being and our actions match perfectly that we can be true to ourselves and successful at the same time, both professionally and personally.

Cars, Trucks, Buses and Trains: The Legendary Vehicles of the Eastern Bloc Klaus Schameitat l
A rich varierty of vehicles, developed in the Eastern Bloc
The former Eastern Bloc is often perceived as a grey region with prefabricated buildings, and its four-wheeled products are usually compared to shoe boxes. Klaus Schameitat decided to abolish these prejudices by presenting us with the exceptional variety of vehicles developed behind the Iron Curtain, some of which still exist today. To achieve this, he not only travelled to the former GDR, but he also visited almost all the countries of the Eastern Bloc for more than 40 years. Big, American-looking sedans come across rear-engined air-cooled curiosities, monstrous transport vehicles dream of a better life on a scrapyard, and a Wartburg races against a Zuk van - but not on the road: both vehicles were converted into draisines. In this beautiful photo book, the East is represented as an unusual, colourful, elegant, and sometimes simply astonishing region. The highlights in this book include more than 800 documentary photos, mostly of everyday cars, concise model descriptions, a wide variety of cars, trucks, buses and trains of all kinds from more than 60 manufacturers, photographed in 20 Eastern European countries, classified by country, with informative maps and introductory texts. Appendices include abbreviations and the main products of the manufacturers.

Fourteen Essays on Architecture and Urbanization Lars Lerup l
l
Lars Lerup ranks among the most significant teachers and researchers in the theory of urbanism field The book offers fourteen previously unpublished essays on identity and monumentality, and the relationship of nature and culture in today’s ‘continuous city’
Swedish-American architect Lars Lerup’s writings suggest a mindful collector as their author, rather than a scholar or a theoretician. Lerup sharply observes and analyses his urban environment and its properties, before adding his findings to his own theory of the modern city. Lerup wrote the fourteen essays in this new book as self-contained pieces, yet together they still form a coherent entity. The fourteen essays in The Continuous City offer a survey of Lerup’s thinking on identity and monumentality are the relationship between nature and culture. His interest and reflections focus, among other things, on Roberto Burle Marx, a founder of modern landscape design; the ‘dancing floors’ of Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Central Library; Herzog & de Meuron’s 1111 Lincoln Road project in Miami Beach; and the character of urban icons like Coop Himmelb(l)au’s Dalian International Conference Center. Lars Lerup invites his readers to join him on his journey and to be enriched, rather than instructed, en route.

Baku
Oil and Urbanism Eve Blau, Ivan Rupnik l
Baku is a textbook-case of the interdependence of energy extraction and urban design
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan and formerly part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, is a city built on and with oil. Its first oil boom in the late 19th century was driven by the Russian branch of the Nobel family modernising the exploitation of oil fields around Baku, and local oil barons pouring their new wealth into building a cosmopolitan city centre. During the Soviet period, Baku became the site of an urban experiment: the shaping an oil city of socialist man. This first off-shore rig in the world became the emblem of Baku’s second oil boom. Today, Baku is experiencing its third oil boom. This new book investigates how oil stimulated urban development in Baku, and explores in detail the more complex and important question of how the disparate spatial logics, knowledge bases, and practices of oil production and urban production intersected, impacted and transformed one another. Based on a vast research project and drawing on rich and previously unpublished material, Baku - Oil and Urbanism is organised into three broadly conceived historical periods defined by the political, economic, technological conditions in which the interwoven evolution of oil and urban production unfolded. The book also features a new photo essay by celebrated photographer Iwan Baan.

An insightful book on globalised economy, intercontinental trade, gender roles and pop culture A close investigation of urban processes of uniformity and of discrepancies between cultural standardisation and local diversity The book’s striking visual and captivating literary narratives form an inseparable entity
‘City Lust’ is the name of a fragrance that sociologist and photographer Charlie Koolhaas found in a Dubai perfumery wholesale showroom. It is also the starting point of an expedition that leads Koolhaas to a variety of places in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the US. In Lagos, Guangzhou, Dubai, London, and Huston, she explores the fast change that a globalised economy has forced upon these so-very-different metropolises. During extended stays in each place, Koolhaas took a vast number of photographs, many of them of striking intensity. She focuses her view not just on the increasing uniformity of cities around the world. Her key objective is to demonstrate the discrepancy between cultural standardisation and local diversity in the age of globalisation. The visual language of her new book City Lust is everyday photography, pure documentation and captivating observation. The second narrative is Koolhaas’s equally fascinating and illuminating essay that brings together her own insight into global trade and its protagonists.

An exceptional documentation of today’s use of media and reading habits and of the individual perception of news A unique record of the 2016 US general election
This new book is the result of the media project ‘Day After Reading’, conceived by Swiss graphic designer and editor Ludovic Balland. His focus was on how people remember and perceive information in the daily media while uncovering personal memories and reading habits. On his 13,000-mile road trip across the country during the final weeks of the 2016 US election campaign and its immediate aftermath, calling at twenty cities and attending major events such as the presidential inauguration or the Women’s March in Washington DC the day after, Balland has conducted dozens of interviews and took hundreds of photographs. He has captured the expectations of, and the immediate effects on, people surrounding this major political event, resulting in an exceptional portrait of the American media consumer. With printed media struggling to survive in the age of real-time digital news channels and social media, newspapers are forced to find new ways of storytelling. American Readers at Home also features new, personalised ways of recording and receiving news, highlighting their relation to personal experience and the context of readers’ individual lives.
Kiribati
Alice Piciocchi, Andrea Angeli l
l
A journey to the end of the world, documenting a vanishing culture threatened by climate change Presented through maps, infographics, and a glossary, all masterfully illustrated
Kiribati is an island nation in the vast blue of the Pacific Ocean. Composed of thirty-two atolls and three groups of islands, Kiribati lies halfway between Hawaii and Australia. The largest and bestknown of the many coral islands is Kiritimati, where James Cook landed on December 24, 1777, which is why he called it ‘Christmas Island’. In recent years the island world of Kiribati has achieved fame for the wrong reason: climate scientists have calculated that many of these atolls and the outer zones of the coral islands will sink into the ocean when sea levels rise as expected. When Alice Piciocchi and Andrea Angeli heard this, their desire to visit grew. Yet, instead of meeting desperate inhabitants sitting on their packed suitcases, they found people who had no intention of leaving. This book is a special kind of travel journal and a masterpiece of bibliophilism. The authors have succeeded in bringing us closer to the everyday culture and ideas of Kiribati’s people, testifying to their deep connection to the ocean and the universe itself.

Contains a diverse selection of photographs from the artists, depicting their studios and work, and making this book eye-candy for any applied arts aficionado
Artisans of Israel is a very special book on crafts. Author Lynn Holstein is in search of a national identity in the artisanry of the still young country - and she finds it in the unifying pursuit for innovation. Forty artists, including Jews, Muslims and Christians, tell their stories and show in five different trades how emancipation can be promoted through creativity. Working with one’s hands stands unfailingly at the centre of this reflection. From the hybrid of cultural and religious backgrounds emerges a unique compilation that brings together the fields of metalwork and jewellery, ceramics, textiles, paper and wood. This compilation portrays a sensitive and inspiring portrait of Israel and its inhabitants. This book accompanies an exhibition at The Open Museum, Tefen (IL), in January 2018.

114 gemstone animals by master engravers Gerd and Patrick Dreher - mostly made from a single gemstone Profound essays on techniques and materials by renowned authors New and detailed photographs allow never before seen aspects of the beautiful gemstone carvings
Engravers Gerd and Patrick Dreher are famous the world over for their masterly animal figures, each of which is cut from a single gemstone. In the early twentieth century, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather all cut gemstones for Fabergé - mostly agate but also ruby, obsidian, aquamarine, citrine and rock crystal. Today, creations are still being meticulously made by hand using traditional techniques. The realistic miniature forms of mice, snails, toads, monkeys and hippos are designed by the two artists in multi-layered and coloured gemstones so that, for example, the faces, palms of the hand or soles of the feet shine in an iridescent red-brown agate while the bodies are worked in the glossy deep black part of the stone. These unique engravings are today some of the rarest examples of the highest quality in craftsmanship, and represent fascination of the highest cultural degree in a world of increasing globalisation.
Emil Milan: Midcentury Master
Craig Edelbrock with Norm Sartorius, Phil Jurus, Barry Gordon. Foreword by Albert LeCoff l
The first publication dedicated to the artist Emil Milan, illustrated with his finest artistic creations
l
Previously unseen documents and photographs
Artist Emil Milan (American, 1922-1985) was a major contributor to the studio craft movement in the 1950s and 60s. He was an innovator in woodworking tools and techniques, and a pioneer in using power tools to boost production. After training to be a sculptor at the Art Students League of New York, he developed and produced a distinctive line of ‘functional sculpture’ - wooden bowls, trays, and serving ware - that captured the essence of Midcentury Modern Design. He stood with now legendary artists and designers like Wharton Esherick, Sam Maloof, Wendell Castle, Charles Eames, George Nakashima, and Bob Stocksdale (among others) in the most important exhibitions of fine craft in America. His wares were tailored for and sold in high-end retailers such as Hammacher Schlemmer, Saks Fifth Avenue and the original Pottery Barn store in Manhattan. After moving to rural Pennsylvania in 1961, he re-emerged as a teacher, mentor, and role model for dozens of successful artists and woodworkers who found inspiration in his teaching, his methods, and his self-sufficient lifestyle close to nature. After fading into obscurity following his death, this book rekindles awareness and appreciation of this remarkable American artist.

Making Beauty
The Ginori Porcelain Manufactory and its Progeny of Statues Edited by Tomaso Montanari and Dimitrios Zikos l
Richly illustrated, this book provides the history of the Doccia porcelain manufactory, founded near Florence, Italy, in 1735
The porcelain of Doccia made its mark on the history of artistic manufactory with its refined production inspired by antique masterpieces. Rich with illustrations, the catalogue was published to accompany the exhibition staged by the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, providing useful tools for visitors and readers, enabling them to reconstruct and examine the development of the artefacts of this particular production technique, in general, and specifically to trace the history of the Doccia manufactory’s success. The essays included are divided into two parts: the first reconstructs the history of the manufactory opened by the Marquis Ginori in 1735 and the art produced in studios of porcelain. The second provides a series of case studies dedicated to the more interesting themes regarding the reproduction in porcelain of great ancient sculptures, as well as some more significant works realised by the manufactory, like the Tempietto of Cortona or the great Fireplace. The book concludes with a series of entries elaborating on the 17 works that were featured in the exhibition.

This publication commemorates the public unveiling of the Sherwin and Shirley Glass Glass Collection at the Flint Institute of Arts in its new wing, dedicated to contemporary craft. Amassed during a ten-year period by Atlanta-based collectors Sherwin and Shirley Glass, this contemporary glass collection represents the greatest achievements by a large and diverse group of important international artists. With glass masterworks by more than 85 artists representing 19 countries around the world, this collection shows an explosion of creativity in the medium of glass from the late 20th through the early 21st century. In this catalogue, FIA Executive Director John Henry demonstrates why Flint, Michigan, is an ideal location for a contemporary craft wing; Habatat Galleries founder Ferd Hampson discusses how the Glasses’ collecting interests represented a ‘quest for the best’, and Patricia Grieve Watkinson contextualises the Glass Glass Collection within international and American glass movements.

An essential reference work for all connoisseurs of Murano glass
A creative exchange with artists such as the painter Guido Cadorin or the ceramicist and sculptor Hans Stoltenberg-Lerche brought the second generation Toso Brothers to the forefront of Murano glass manufactories at the beginning of the twentieth century. After the Second World War Ermanno Toso and Pollio Perelda were among the most famous designers and continued the production of lavish series in glass, complemented from the 1950s onwards with high-quality one-offs executed mainly in the celebrated millefiori technique. This decoration consists of a multitude of tiny coloured discs, known as murrini, which are produced by melting, cooling and cutting bundled canes of glass to form a cross-section pattern. Together with Caterina Toso, renowned Murano expert Marc Heiremans looks back on and reviews the complex history of the famous glass manufactory. Wellinformed texts, hitherto unpublished sketches and archive photos make Fratelli Toso Murano an essential reference work for all connoisseurs of glass.
Bulgari
Treasures of Rome Vincent Meylan l
Compiled with full access to Bulgari’s archives
A piece of jewellery is more than an arrangement of precious stones - it is a story. This is the principle on which Vincent Meylan, has written his latest book. Now, with unparalleled access to the Bulgari archives, Meylan guides us on an intimate journey through the lives of the clients, both famous and infamous, who have given this pre-eminent Mediterranean jeweller their patronage. Their client roster reflects their prestige. Nobility and celebrity intermingle; the Countess di Frasso shopped at Bulgari with her Hollywood superstar-beau, Gary Cooper, as did the Infanta Beatriz of Spain and Princess Maria José of Belgium. Richard Burton wooed Elizabeth Taylor with glittering Bulgari jewels, while the decadent marriage of Tyrone Power and Linda Christian featured Bulgari wedding rings. But these jewels tell tales of many genres, not just romance: from exiled Iranian Shahs to Count Cini of Monselice, held for ransom by the SS and released in exchange for Bulgari jewels. Each story is retold with Vincent Meylan’s characteristic verve, embellished with original pictures from the archives. Chapters are dedicated to wealthy customers, but also to the stones themselves, tracing the evolution of this iconic Roman company through history, and the development of their jewellery from mine, to workshop, to model.

Did you know that jewellery predates clothes? The oldest known piece is a set of 100, 000-year-old beads, made from Nassarius shells. Liza Urla advises us not to look at the eyes when meeting a new person, but instead to look at their jewellery. She describes it as the ultimate means of self-expression, essential to our identification as humans. “Jewellery is our armour,” she says, “and precious stones our amulets”. In this book, she journeys from continent to continent, chronicling the pieces that capture her imagination and her heart. Although many of the pictures are from the street, defining the wearer’s style on the day they were taken, Urla has been lucky enough to access people’s personal jewellery boxes. As she says, the best pieces are always in private collections. Urla’s favourite finds are presented alongside her own jewellery styling, in collaboration with various designers from the jungles of Brazil, the beaches of Mexico, or the streets of London, NYC, Paris or Moscow.

Balances gorgeous photographs against technical insight into the jewellery making process
Traditional Indian Jewellery - The Golden Smile of India is a vast and detailed publication covering the rich heritage of Indian jewellery and its significance in past and present Indian society. Jewellery plays an important part in the everyday lives, important moments, festivals and religious aspects of Indian culture. It is not only girls and women who wear jewellery, but also boys, men, temple statues and even animals. The book excels in its detailed descriptions, which accompany the sumptuous array of images. We discover why enamel is used in the north of India, the origin and significance of gold, the significance of setting gems in a certain order, and jewellery’s spiritual importance. The book covers in detail the meaning of the use of flowers and birds in Hindu influenced jewellery, looking through the eyes of 17th century European travellers who visited the rich Mogul courts. This publication is the result of 35 years of research - travelling, studying, and talking to many people across the entire subcontinent of India, as well as having had unprecedented access to goldsmiths and enamellers; being shown techniques known only to one family, which have been transferred from generation to generation; and being granted access to beautiful and never before seen Royal collections.

Never-before-shown photos from private archives convey a new and personal picture of the renowned art jeweller Ebbe Weiss-Weingart A comprehensive book on the goldsmith showing her most important pieces and series in lavish illustrations
Ebbe Weiss-Weingart (b. 1923) is one of the pioneers of international studio jewellery. For over seventy years she has enriched the contemporary jewellery scene with her diverse works. Her inception in the 1950s and 1960s with structured surfaces and galvanised sculptured pieces will never be forgotten. Alongside figurative motifs - in particular, her portrayals of humans and animals - she also created pieces with an ironic and quirky touch. In her last phase of creativity, which began in the 1990s, she had a penchant for working with jewellery made from Chinese jade reliefs. Around 200 illustrations of these jewellery objects documents her award-winning work, and along with previously unpublished photographic material, expands on her hitherto unknown accomplishments.

The consummate Susan Grant Lewin Collection - recently donated to Cooper Hewitt - captures the diversity and achievements of contemporary art jewellery with nearly 150 significant works from the last 15 years by designers from the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. The brooches, necklaces and rings reveal how these contemporary jewellers have revolutionised the medium in transforming jewellery conventions as expressions of our time. Descriptions of specific works demonstrate that while the mastery of materials and techniques is critical to the creative process, it is not an end in itself, but only the means to accomplish an aesthetic vision. Process statements from each designer and a full gallery of the jewellery accompany the narrative sequence of extraordinary, stirring, unique pieces.

The first comprehensive and lavishly illustrated monograph in English on the breathtaking oeuvre in wood by the Norwegian jewellery artist Liv Blåvarp Featuring around 55 works from 2002 to 2017
Maple, birch, walnut, lemonwood and palisander are just a few of the woods from which Liv Blåvarp (b. 1956) creates exceptional one-off jewellery pieces. The rigidity or softness of the wood plays just as much of an important role in the selection process as its structure or texture. The works are comprised of numerous single elements, which fuse together to become sculptural volumes tactile creations that come alive when touched. Yet at the same time Blåvarp’s expressive and colourful pieces remain flexible and wearable. Their forms are not clearly defined; associations to organic growth, animals and plants, light and shade, water and waves all come to mind. With around 55 works from 2002 to 2017 Liv Blåvarp presents the first comprehensive review of her creative output.

Madame Tricot Delicatessen
Dominique Kaehler Schweizer l
l
A textile art book brimming with wit and humour Many double-page photos illustrate the immense effort that is dedicated to each of Madame Tricot’s installations
With her unique artistic installations, Madame Tricot - real name Dominique Kaehler Schweizer displaces the viewer into an illusory world of knitted delicacies. Her smokehouses, refrigerators, counters of sausage and cheese, and platters of vegetables and desserts are full of wit and irony. The knitted human heads and anthropomorphic specimens, on the other hand, confront the viewer with the breaking of taboos and surreal allusions. The installation-like staging represents a balancing act of fine art and virtuosic craftsmanship, and draws on the Eat Art movement of the 1960s. The work of the Swiss artist thus repeatedly awakens associations with the work of Daniel Spoerri, Dieter Roth and Fischli/Weiss.

A significant collection of textile works from a prolific yet often-overlooked designer, whose influence is felt to this day
Dr Christopher Dresser is best remembered for his pioneering advances in design and associated technology. In the new industrial world of the nineteenth century, Dresser was the first designer to understand that machinery was a good servant but a poor master; he made it his business to understand how machines worked. His success gained him credibility. Dresser became a sought-after consultant to several textile manufacturers, most notably Barlow & Jones, Tootal, Warner & Sons, Turnbull & Stockdale, and Wardle, which allowed him to establish the largest design practice in Britain by 1870. Equally, it was his success in promoting textiles at affordable prices that attracted his popular following in the press. Unlike his contemporaries, he was interested in making designs available to everyone. Despite being the first Victorian to address the decorative needs of all the population, there is a severe lack of appreciation for Dresser’s work - whose influence can be found in many textiles that we take for granted today. This book redresses that balance, giving Dresser the monograph he deserves.

From Palaces to Pre-fabs
Pioneering British Women Interior Decorators and Designers Ruth Artmonsky & Stella Harpley l
Although how we furnished our homes in the latter part of the 20th century was largely influenced by two men - Terence Conran of Habitat and Ingvar Kamprad of IKEA - a number of women attempted, in their various ways, to influence our taste when it came to how we lived
Early on were the Victorian/Edwardian women, often associated with the Suffragette movement who both designed and sold furniture. These were followed, after WWI, by others also breaking social rank - the society hostesses - totally untrained but full of confidence, and having their own ‘interiors’ admired, saw a way of supplementing their incomes by imposing their tastes on others. Meanwhile a few women were proselytising their concerns for well-crafted and designed products, through retail outlets from small financially precarious shops, to running part of the prestigious store, Heals. Wartime threw up an altogether more professional group - the ‘doers’ - those empowered to ‘do it themselves’ . Additionally there were a handful of professional furniture designers and another small groups looking to the design needs of the masses rather than the comfortably off. From Palaces to Pre-fabs sets out to restore the reputation of such women working in what was the largely male-dominated world of interior design.

Embroidery and Lace
The Unknown Wiener Werkstätte
Angela Völker; Foreword by Christoph Thun-Hohenstein l

The publication offers an overview of the design and production of lace and embroidery made by the Wiener Werkstätte between 1906 and 1930, together with a rich inventory of previously unpublished documents from the WW archives With works by Carl Otto Czeschka, Josef Hoffmann, Dagobert Peche, Maria Likarz-Strauss, Mathilde Flögl, Hilde Jesser-Schmid, Felice Rix-Ueno, Vally Wieselthier and Fritzi Löw-Lazar
A rich inventory of previously unpublished documents boasting great artistic sophistication can be found in the Wiener Werkstätte archive in the MAK - Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art on the design and production of lace and embroidery produced there between 1906 and 1930. Together with the objects kept in the museum, they convey an authentic picture of the department’s extraordinary production. Around forty designers are known by name. The earliest pieces of embroidery, from 1906, derive from furniture upholstery belonging to the Wittgenstein family, while lace production did not begin until 1915 and consisted of braids and covers, also inserts for curtains and counterpanes. The book provides a great deal of new information on this hitherto little-known Wiener Werkstätte department, including artists’ sketches and designs, blueprints, bobbin lace patterns, sample portfolios in WW design, and historical black-and-white photographs of the original objects.

The Ideas and the Matter
What Will We Be Made Of and What Will the World Be Made Of? Marinella Ferrara & Giulio Ceppi
Science and technology are extending into design fields, modifying materials and everything that surrounds us, even our bodies, redefining on a perceptive level the boundary between things and us. To identify the actual evolution of the relationship between sciences, knowledge and design, in 2014 the Madec (Material Design Culture Research Centre) of Politecnico di Milano, initiated a wide debate with a series of contributions on innovation trajectories by well-known scholars across many disciplines, researchers, professionals and companies. This public debate, entitled ‘Ideas and the Matter’ has opened up new initiatives for design today, new ideas, and the definition of design approaches, contributing to the development of a new methodology of creativity-driven material innovation that, in a world full of opportunities but also problems to be solved, helps design to play a role in ‘giving new meanings’, through designing materials and objects with a critical approach. This is a mission from which designers cannot abdicate, following the success of “Design Thinking”, which was an opening up to social innovation challenges and achieving creative solutions beyond the reach of conventional structure and method. At the same time, “Open Innovation” is a go-to process stimulating ways of creating positive change in production. This book is the compendium of Madec’s one-year research. The contributors to the book come from many and diverse disciplines (medicine, biotechnology, engineering, art, anthropology, architecture and design), by which design thoughts are fed.

Ross Lovegrove: Convergence Ross Lovegrove, Marie-Ange Brayer l
This is the most recent publication from the celebrated designer, Ross Lovegrove
l
An inspiring monograph, which highlights how innovative vitality can be achieved sustainably
Ross Lovegrove is an internationally renowned designer and visionary, whose works are celebrated as the new aesthetic expression of the twenty-first century. His industrial design is inspired by the logic and beauty of nature. It connects technology and innovative production methods with new materials and an intelligent, organic vocabulary of forms, in an inimitable way. By carefully selecting, combining, and composing these elements he succeeds in inventing a completely unique language of his own. A very human vision and a sustainable, inventive approach form the basis for all of his work. His philosophy is rooted in elegant functionalism. Despite all of the imaginativeness and pleasure in experimentation revealed in his body of work, he considers himself a thinker whose interest is not in the pretentious, but in the development of sensible, useful things. At the heart of this monograph, therefore, is a lasting combination of high standards and creativity, design and nature, and the latest technologies from the fields of physics, biology, anthropology, and ecology.

Starck, Secret Drawings 4,000 Sketches Unveiled Edited by Turner Publicaciones l
The core of Philippe Starck’s creativity process, a journey through the subconscious of a great designer of our era
Since the establishment of his studio, Ubik, in 1979, Philippe Starck has conceived more than 10,000 projects, and every single one of them has had the same principle: they must be at the disposal of the users. The object has to be “fair” and “to provide a service” - as functional as emotional. Starck embodies a democratic way of designing by asking himself: Why does this object deserve to be? He’s a committed creator that belongs to an ever-changing contemporary world. That is why, for example, he has been a long-time defender of an ecological creative process. This catalogue, which follows the exhibition held at the Centre Pompidou Málaga, brings us right to the core of Starck’s creative process - drawings, sketches, researches, and, of course, his most iconic objects.

Wordsworth’s Gardens and Flowers The Spirit of Paradise
Peter Dale and Brandon C. Yen l
The first book to explore both Wordsworth’s gardens and the poet’s literary use of flowers
l
Includes rare botanical prints reproduced for the first time in several decades
l
Draws extensively on hitherto unpublished manuscripts and artworks
l
Reproduces illustrations from early editions of Wordsworth
A book that debunks the popular myth that William Wordsworth was, first and foremost, a poet of daffodils, Wordsworth’s Gardens and Flowers: The Spirit of Paradise provides a vivid account of Wordsworth as a gardening poet who not only wrote about gardens and flowers but also designed - and physically worked in - his gardens. Wordsworth’s Gardens and Flowers: The Spirit of Paradise is a book of two halves. The first section focuses on the gardens that Wordsworth made at Grasmere and Rydal in the English Lake District, and also in Leicestershire, at Coleorton. In the second half of the book, the reader learns more of Wordsworth’s use of flowers in his poetry, exploring the vital importance of British flowers and other ‘unassuming things’ to his work, as well as their wider cultural, religious and political meaning. Throughout, the engaging, accessible text is woven around illustrations that bring Wordsworth’s gardens and flowers to life, including rare botanical prints, many reproduced here for the first time in several decades.

Ikebana:
Inspired by Emotions
Edited by Katrien Van Moerbeke Just as painters create immortal pieces with their brushes, ikebana artists use nature’s palette to express themselves. Ikebana Inspired by Emotions demonstrates the eloquence of ikebana and its power to capture and transfer emotions. Ikebana is sometimes accused of being hermetic; difficult to understand or appreciate for outsiders. It is claimed that it is an art which merely involves applying strict, imposed rules and that a lack of spontaneity and frivolity makes it a style of flower arranging that is difficult to enjoy. This beautiful new book demonstrates the opposite. Eight carefully selected black and white photos of strong, universal emotions are the source of inspiration for this publication. Many international artists interpret these visuals and translate them into designs that stir the senses and touch the heart. Ikebana: Inspired by Emotions shows how ikebana arrangements can pull at the heartstrings and evoke emotions that are recognisable to everyone.

The Eternal Flower Koji Arai Koji Arai
Koji Arai is one of those people who accidentally found their great ambition and passion in life. When he started working in a flower shop in São Paulo the main goal was to earn a living and improve his command of Portuguese. He could barely tell a rose from a tulip, let alone make a bouquet. As the shop did not spoon-feed him any instructions Arai learnt the art by stealing with his eyes. Ever since that first experience he has been obsessed with plants and the possibilities of flower design. After returning to Japan, he joined Dai-ichi Engei as floral designer and product developer. The collection of designs in this book, however, stands apart from his professional work. The Eternal Flower is his ode to flowers. In this book he wants to give a voice to the beauty of their colours, their enthralling eccentric shapes, their life, their death, their fragility and elegance and at the same time treasure them for eternity. Koji Arai puts his talent at the service of flowers, hoping to help disclose the fascinating aspects of flowers and plants that we often remain unaware of. This he does with great skill and bravura.

The Pan’Ino
Maria Teresa Di Marco and Alessandro Frassica l
A real taste of Italy! Alessandro Frassica’s pan’ini feature the best of Italian ingredients and raw foods from the best possible producers
What could be more simple than a pan’ino? Take some bread and butter, slice it through the middle and fill it. Seen in this way, the sandwich is almost an ‘anti-cuisine’, a nomadic shortcut that allows for speed and little thought. But when Alessandro Frassica thinks about his pan’ino, he considers it in a different way, not as a shortcut, but as an instrument for telling stories, creating layers of tales right there between the bread and its butter. Because even if the sandwich is simple, it is not necessarily so easy to create. Alessandro searches for ingredients, and in the raw foods he finds people: producers of pecorino cheese from Benevento, anchovies from Cetara, ‘nduja spicy salami from Calabria. Then he studies the combinations, the consistencies and the temperature, because a pan’ino is not just a random object; savoury must be complemented by sweet; tapenade softens and provides moisture; bread should be warmed but not dried; thus the sandwich becomes a simple way of saying many excellent things, including finding a complexity of flavours that can thrill in just one bite.

All the little tips that make the subtle differences - the basics for beginners as well as for advanced cooks The essentials in a nutshell, with recipes and directions
cook. better should be understood as a promise, because this first-rate, perfectly designed cookbook tells you everything worth knowing about cooking. There are answers to questions every one of us has wondered about: Why does lasagna always taste different, even though we use the same recipe? Those beans had real crunch, but mine are always too soft; why? Why does a simple green salad with a plain dressing taste so good? Finally, answers to these questions and more. Just like in sports, though, the authors don’t send us straight out to the field. Rather, they start us off with a few stretching exercises and some jumping jacks. So we don’t leap right into mixing and stirring, but first gain some good basic knowledge while getting into shape for the stove. It’s not until we’ve absorbed the fundamental knowledge of cooking that we can enjoy experimentation and our own creativity. Our imaginations are set free. And the best thing about cooking is still gathering with friends and family around a table to savour these delicacies.

The Banat of Timisoara A European Melting Pot Professor Victor Neumann l
Contains the latest research on the history of a complex and fascinating region of Europe
l
Published in anticipation of Timisoara’s designation as European Capital of Culture for 2021
The Banat is a uniquely fascinating example of a European cross-border region, incorporating parts of western Romania, north-eastern Serbia and a small area of south-eastern Hungary. The team of historians, headed by Professor Victor Neumann of the West University in Timisoara, who have contributed to this volume are drawn from across the three modern nations of the region. They analyse the history and culture of the Banat from the earliest times, focusing on the 300 years since it was captured from the Ottoman Turks by Prince Eugene of Savoy. Today this ethnically diverse region has a distinct character of its own, and its Romanian seat, the city of Timisoara, exudes a character quite different from Transylvania and the rest of Romania. This new English edition of the book (originally published in Romanian in 2016 under the title Istoria Banatului) has been expanded and is published to support Timisoara’s designation as European Capital of Culture in 2021.

A richly illustrated guide to Buckingham Palace, and its role as a symbol, a royal residence, a working palace and an exceptional art collection
Buckingham Palace is instantly recognisable as a symbol of the monarchy, of London and of Britain itself. But what goes on behind the famous façade? Buckingham Palace is much more than a stone backdrop to pomp and pageantry. Since Queen Victoria’s time it has been the official London residence for the ruling monarch and it houses a superb collection of works of art, part of the Royal Collection, but this is no rarefied museum. The headquarters of the British monarchy, Buckingham Palace is that rare thing - a working palace. Its state rooms form a magnificent setting for the official and ceremonial duties carried out by Her Majesty The Queen as Head of State of the United Kingdom and Head of the Commonwealth. This souvenir guide takes you inside the Palace and highlights the multiple roles Buckingham Palace plays - as a symbol, a royal residence, a working palace and an exceptional art collection while offering a glimpse into one of the most famous buildings in the world.

A ‘sunny, cheerful, happy house’, Clarence House has served as the private London residence for members of the Royal Family since it was built in 1827, and it retains the welcoming feel of a muchloved family home. Its distinctive atmosphere owes much to the late Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who lived at Clarence House for 50 years. The works of art she collected throughout her life remain on display in the ground-floor rooms that are open to the public. Now the official London residence of TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, Clarence House continues to provide an intimate setting for family occasions. But this is also very much a working house. Each year TRH welcome guests from visiting heads of State to school children, and host a wide variety of receptions and meetings in support of charities and other organisations.

Durham is a World Heritage Site
Durham Cathedral is one of the great buildings of Europe. Set grandly on a rocky promontory next to Durham Castle, with the medieval city huddled below and the river sweeping around, the profile of this World Heritage Site is instantly recognisable. Started in 1093 and dedicated to Cuthbert, a Saxon saint, the cathedral was a pioneering building - which makes the 40 or so years it took to complete an astonishing achievement. The cathedral was a fitting symbol of the power of the Norman prince bishops, who were charged by the king to defend the realm from the constant threat of invasion. Perched on its rocky peninsula next to a great Norman fortification, the cathedral therefore spoke of human as well as divine power. This beautifully illustrated guide introduces the reader to the glories of Durham, and features the newly opened ‘Open Treasure’ exhibition.

A beautifully illustrated guide to Westminster Abbey’s three gardens, written from the uniquely informed and personal perspective of their Head Gardener First publication on the subject
When Thorney Island on the north bank of the Thames was chosen, in the tenth century, as the site of a Benedictine monastery, it was not only for the proximity to water for fish and transport, but also for its fertile land. Benedictine monks were gardeners and the infirmarer’s garden, now College Garden, is believed to be the oldest in England. Following the dissolution, the various abbey gardens no longer retained their individual roles, but they were still used and enjoyed by the resident clergy and the pupils of Westminster School. This personal guide to the gardens, by Head Gardener Jan Pancheri, focuses on those gardens that the visitor will see as they walk towards and through the cloisters, recounts their history, and discusses her planting philosophy, the challenges of the different garden spaces, and her favourite shrubs and flowers. The guide is beautifully illustrated with Jan’s own artwork and a selection of exquisite photographs.

A tribute to and exploration of one of England’s finest medieval buildings
l
A new synthesis of on-going research by author Dr Jonathan Foyle
l
Specially commissioned photography
Peterborough Cathedral is one of England’s finest Norman buildings and, with the addition of its uniquely arranged west front, also among the most individual. Architectural historian Dr Jonathan Foyle combines the wealth of his specialist knowledge with the recent findings of other historians in this study and elucidation of a truly impressive building. He shows how its liminal position between land and water reflects the mediating role of the medieval Church between the terrestrial and the celestial realms. It is fundamental to the Saxon abbey’s dedication to St Peter, bearer of the key to heaven, and is reflected in the construction, decoration and symbolic language of the twelfthcentury building. Engagingly written and beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned photography and the author’s own architectural drawings, Peterborough Cathedral: A Glimpse of Heaven offers a superb tribute to one of England’s most beautiful and enigmatic medieval buildings.

Gunnersbury Park Val Bott and James Wisdom l
l
Based on years of original historical research, encompassing local archives, objects held by the Museum, archaeological findings, oral history sources, and more Richly illustrated, including maps and a fold-out cover
Exploring this much-loved public park reveals its story. In the Middle Ages, Gunnersbury belonged to the powerful mistress of a medieval king. Prosperous Tudor merchants and City aldermen followed; its first transformation saw the building of a huge Palladian mansion with formal gardens around 1660. After years of neglect it was reborn as a centre of Georgian society; a merchant politician and art collector and then a Hanoverian princess each softened the landscape and built follies. In 1800 the mansion was demolished and development plots sold off; two neighbouring villas emerged which still survive. From 1835 one was home to the banking family who eventually reunited the estate, and this building is now the Gunnersbury Park Museum. Gunnersbury was opened as a public park in 1926. This book marks the completion of the recent and extensive conservation programme - its 21st century transformation - in the lead-up to the Park centenary. Published to coincide with the Gunnersbury Park Museum’s reopening in spring/summer 2018. Gunnersbury Park receives 30,000-40,000 visitors per year, and this is expected to rise to as many as 1 million visitors per year after the renovation and conservation programme is completed.

Entrance to the space, never before opened to the public, will be through a new tower outside Poets’ Corner, opposite the Palace of Westminster. This will be the most significant addition to the Abbey since Nicholas Hawksmoor’s iconic towers were completed in 1745. The treasures displayed will reflect the Abbey’s rich thousand-year history. The Galleries will also grant magnificent views to Parliament Square and the Palace of Westminster, as well as wonderful vistas across the Abbey, which Betjeman described as “the finest view in Europe”. The Galleries mark the final phase of the Abbey’s “2020 Vision”, which aimed to improve facilities for the Abbey’s two million worshippers and visitors. This richly illustrated guide, written by Abbey staff, discusses both the overall themes explored in the exhibition, and a selection of the individual exhibits.
Stowe House
Saving an Architectural Masterpiece Nick Morris l
l
The inside story of one of the greatest ever rescues of a country house, which transformed a family seat into a renowned school and National Trust site Published to mark the bicentenary of the elevation of the estate’s founder, Lord Cobham, to the Viscountcy in 1818
The restoration of Stowe House and development of the surrounding estate by Stowe School, allied to work in the landscape gardens by the National Trust, is one of the greatest rescues of a country house ever achieved. The ancestral home of the Temple-Grenvilles came close to demolition in 1920, when the entire site was put up for sale. The formation of Stowe School in 1923 secured a future use that maintained the traditions of the Enlightenment with its unrelenting quest for knowledge and understanding. The past 94 years have seen innovation in land management with the gifting of the gardens to the National Trust and a renovation programme of truly monumental proportions. This major new work details the architectural history of the site, tells the story of the restoration through the words of those most closely involved and demonstrates how the School has continued to build in a sympathetic and harmonious manner that preserves the identity and character of the estate as a whole.

140 HERITAGE AND HISTORY
The story of the trade network and the lively exchange of goods and ideas, diplomatic missions and knowledge in Europe during the period from 300 to 1000 AD
Despite the numerous conflicts, the period from 300 to 1000 AD was also one of growth, continuity and peaceful coexistence. From the late eighteenth century a romantic view of the Middle Ages arose, resulting in the Gothic Revival and the art of the Pre-Raphaelites. A runic graffito in the Hagia Sophia, a gilt Byzantine helmet in the grave of a Frankish nobleman, a treasure hidden from the Vikings in the Low Countries containing an Arab dirham: these are just a few examples of the telling early-medieval finds in this book. Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages are often viewed as a time of decline, chaos, invasions and war. But there is another side to this period as well. There was a rich diversity of cultures in Europe - from Longobards and Merovingians to Byzantines and Avars - and a lively exchange of goods and ideas, sometimes over great distances. The Vikings set up a trade network that reached to Baghdad; the Silk Road brought commodities to Europe, but also diplomatic missions, knowledge and ideas. This is illustrated by the interludes in this book, the stories of ten travellers: pilgrims, scholars, diplomats, and an elephant.

The prevalence of a sharing economy generates different consuming patterns. As business begins to operate around a peer-to-peer model, so too does it become possible to share working space. This book collects some of the latest projects that explore the benefits of co-working space. Compared with traditional offices, which are simple and relatively uniform, the projects in this book tend towards the stylish and innovative. They pay more attention to the design of social space, rather than the individual cubicle. Meanwhile, this book provides inspiring design ideas about space division, identity designing, accessories, decoration and lighting.

Written to inspire, this book contains detailed studies of a vast array of loft conversions, showing the breadth of design experimentation in this field Contains the latest in stylish loft-conversion projects, from a selection of interior designers A quality guidebook not only for designers who fit out loft-style residences for clients, but also for creative types who are looking to redevelop their own home

A discarded factory or warehouse is converted into a tall and spacious living area, often highly personalised in design. Over the years, loft residences have developed their own unique style. This book is divided into two parts: ‘Hard Loft’ - converted factories or warehouses - and ‘Soft Loft’ - new residence space designed in the loft style. In addition, several popular contemporary design styles are featured, such as industrial, Scandinavian, modern and minimalist. Combining different styles within a loft setting means that there are infinite possibilities to explore. ISBN: 9789881998279 Artpower International Publishing 290 x 235mm. 300pp., 400 col.

Making America Modern Interior Design in the 1930s Marilyn F. Friedman l
The 200 photographs and renderings in this book illustrate how designers working in the United States in the 1930s forged a quintessentially American modern interior design, using both traditional and innovative materials while incorporating influences as varied as art deco, the Bauhaus, the Viennese Secession, Shintoism, and streamlining
The trajectory of American modern design during the 1930s was far from linear; it zigged and zagged with detours into stylised variants given catchy names by hopeful marketeers, including Classic Modern, Chinese Modern, Swedish Modern, and Enduring Modern. Yet the designers covered in this book rejected the revivalism that had defined American design, forging something new - an American movement, defined by simplicity, practicality, and comfort, that embraced experimentation and variation in materials and style. With images and detailed descriptions, design historian Marilyn F. Friedman presents more than 100 interiors by 50 designers and architects, including Donald Deskey, Paul T. Frankl, Percival Goodman, Frederick Kiesler, William Lescaze, William Muschenheim, Tommi Parzinger, Gilbert Rohde, Eugene Schoen, and Kem Weber; set designers Cedric Gibbons and Joseph Urban; and industrial designers Raymond Loewy, Walter Dorwin Teague, and Russel Wright. The book also highlights the work of women modernists who are practically unknown today, including Virginia Conner, Freda Diamond, Eleanor Le Maire, and Madame Majeska. This lively and important examination of the development of modernism comprehensively details, year-by-year, individual projects and their impact on modern interior design in America today.

146 INTERIOR DESIGN
A monograph on a pivotal fifties interior designer, considered one of the most talented and inspired designers of his generation, whose work generated an unrivalled atmosphere in the grand classical style
Geffroy’s loyal client list featured a ‘who’s who’ of the great names of the time, for whom he created interior designs of supreme refinement. He complemented his decorative schemes with objets and furniture from his favourite period, the late eighteenth century, selected with a famously unerring eye from the most distinguished antique dealers of the time, and draped them with silks chosen with his unique flair for colour. Declaring his unbounded admiration for the work of Christian Bérard, Geffroy designed celebrated interiors for Christian Dior, as well as for the great beauties of the age, goddesses of elegance such as Daisy Fellowes and Gloria Guinness, and icons of taste including Charles de Beistegui, Alexis de Redé at the Hôtel Lambert, and Arturo Lopez in his Neuilly mansion and on his legendary yacht. At the end of his life he crowned his career with his exceptional designs for the great art patron and collector Antenor Patino, a final project that allowed him to showcase his remarkable gifts once more. This book reconstructs Georges Geffroy’s interior design projects with the greatest possible accuracy, thanks notably to previously unpublished archive documents and to the valuable contribution of Hubert de Givenchy, one of his most fervent admirers.

Illustrated descriptions of 35 eclectic coffee shops from all over the world, mostly completed after 2015 A rich source of inspiration for architects, professional designers and photographers, this book will also be of interest to coffee shop owners, who are deciding what design features would best fit their dream café
Third wave coffee shops dominate the mainstream, as the fourth wave, heavily reliant on e-commerce, is still being defined. The reason that physical stores do not become retail déjà vu is attributed largely to consumers’ notion that coffee shops are not only a place to savour a hot beverage, but a space to socialise and bond. Café Plus is a chic book-of-the-moment that collects coffee shop interiors by excellent designers from around the world. The projects featured in this book serve more than coffee; they are multi-functional venues that interpret the global concept of a ‘café’ to suit their needs. Interspersed with illustrations and detailed descriptions of design concepts, the featured projects are all from the past three years, showcasing the latest trends in café interior design. This beautifully packaged book will appeal to coffee shop owners, architects, interior designers, and photographers.

Published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of ‘The Summer of Love’
In 1967, a photojournalist named Baron Wolman met Jann Wenner and Ralph Gleason at a music conference. Wenner and Gleason told Wolman about a new publication they were starting. It would be about contemporary music and the musicians who made it. That magazine, Rolling Stone, would go on to become one of the most iconic magazines ever published and Baron Wolman was the first chief photographer. Happy Daze: The Summers of Love is a book celebrating Baron Wolman’s incredible archive of photographs from three incredible years in cultural history. From festivals such as Woodstock and Altamont, musicians including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead and moments including the Human Be-In and Death of Hippie marches, Wolman was on the visual front lines of an important period in the history of American society. “At that moment it all came together for me as a photographer. I was invited to witness what was happening, ‘going down,’ culturally and socially, and I was taking photos along the way... who would have guessed that fully five decades down the line, we would be here still talking about what an incredible time it was”.

The first trade edition of Jerry Schatzberg’s collection of famous, as well as rarely seen, photos of Bob Dylan, including studio portraits, on-stage performances, recording studio outtakes and more Includes reprints of seminal interviews, including “A Night with Bob Dylan” by Al Aronowitz, originally published in the New York Herald Tribune in 1965
In 1965, Jerry Schatzberg, already well established through his work with magazines, got a call from Sara Lownds. Lownds was wondering if Jerry would be available to come down to a recording studio because, “Bobby wants you to photograph him.” Bobby turned out to be Bob Dylan and Lownds would go on to marry the musician later in 1965. When Schatzberg arrived at Studio A at Columbia Records, Dylan was in middle of recording one of the most seminal records of the twentieth century, ‘Highway 61 Revisited.’ One of the songs on that record, ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, would go on to be ranked #1 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Schatzberg and Dylan worked well together that day, and the photographer was asked back on numerous occasions to document the next few years in Dylan’s life in New York. From seminal portraits to on-stage performances, candid moments at a party to getting the call from Albert Grossman to work on an album cover, ‘Blonde on Blonde’, Schatzberg’s images not only stand the test of time, but also have become visually synonymous with one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Dylan by Schatzberg is a thorough record of those moments, in photos and memories.
Tom Waits
Photographs by Ed Caraeff, Introduction by Barney Hoskyns l
Rare, previously unpublished photographs of Tom Waits on the verge of stardom
l
Introduction by celebrated music journalist Barney Hoskyns
He was a young man with a distinctive voice. He had a throat that knew its way around whisky and cigarettes. And could write poetry and prose that rivalled any poet. When Tom Waits took to the recording studio to sing his lyrics and play his songs, a new icon in American music was born. Few artists match their image with what they create. But to listen to Tom Waits, especially in his ground-breaking debut Closing Time, the images that were presented to the press and used on the album cover would do just that. The photos matched the artist. Ed Caraeff, a noted photographer who also captured Jimi Hendrix on stage at Monterey, was enlisted by the record label to work with this new artist in 1972 for publicity shots as well as the cover image for his debut. Caraeff would work with Waits and produce a series of iconic images many never published before. In Tom Waits, all of Ed Caraeff’s images are reproduced, along with notes and commentary from Caraeff and an introduction by Barney Hoskyns. Hoskyns is a celebrated journalist, music critic and the editorial director of Rock’s Backpages. He is the author of several books, including Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits (Faber and Faber, 2008), which won critical praise.

Led Zeppelin Live Iconic Images l
l
Includes many rare and unseen photos of the band on and off stage Extensive commentary throughout from top photographers: Terry O’Neill, Michael Brennan and Baron Wolman
Four men took the stage for the very first time. Their first gig was in a basement below a record shop, but at the peak of their success, they played to over 50,000. An early manager commented that the band would go down like ‘a lead balloon’. The ‘a’ was dropped and ‘zeppelin’ substituted, and out of an insult, Led Zeppelin was born. Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant were all experienced and respected musicians in their own right. When they formed a band, they transformed the way we listen to rock. But it wasn’t just their music that would shake the world. Their performances left millions with the memories of a lifetime. In partnership with ACC Editions, Iconic Images has created a book that celebrates the live performances that defined a generation. Photographers, including the world-famous Terry O’Neill, Michael Brennan and Baron Wolman have opened up their archives to present Led Zeppelin: Live. With more than 200 million records sold world-wide, including eight consecutive number one albums in the UK alone, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in 2005. Rolling Stone magazine named Led Zeppelin one of the greatest acts of all time. The three surviving members are recipients of Kennedy Center Honors, and some of the most well-known faces in the history of modern music.

Appeals to popular culture book buyers and collectors, especially those dealing in biographies and memoirs, popular music history, punk culture, or the Clash Published to follow the Clash’s 40th anniversary in 2016, this is a testament to the man who both facilitated the band’s formation and held it together
From the growth of punk and beyond, this visually rich collection of art, fashion and ephemera, accompanied by essays, draws from the archives and philosophy of one of the ‘prime instigators’ of UK punk - Bernard Rhodes. Wake Up! To the World of Bernard Rhodes is a first-hand account of the punk movement. Bernard Rhodes shares his title of ‘prime instigator of UK punk’ with Malcolm McLaren. Been there, seen it, done it hardly does Rhodes’ story justice. Inspired by the avant-garde Situationist movement, and the designer of radical t-shirts for McLaren and the Vivienne Westwood Kings Road shop, it was Rhodes who introduced John Lydon to the Sex Pistols before engineering the formation of the Clash. With him as their manager, and the co-creator of their super-committed style, the Clash became and remains one of the biggest bands of the era, and a symbol of punk as a positive force. Alongside his two stints with them, Rhodes also nurtured the Specials and Dexy’s Midnight Runners to huge success.
Cowboys Don’t Do Lunch The Photographs of Herb Cohen Suzanne D. Johnson l
l
Arriving from New York just before gentrification began to eradicate the longstanding romance of the true West, Herb Cohen, with his camera in hand, captured Arizona history in his portraits of the cowboys and Native Americans he befriended Herb Cohen’s camera captured skilfully detailed photographs of the cowboys and Native Americans who settled regions in Arizona and had, through the 1970s, remained relatively unchanged in their mannerisms and way of life This book features skilfully detailed photographs of the last of the real cowboys of Cave Creek, Arizona taken at the time the area was in transition, moving from being a full-time cattle ranching community to becoming an incorporated town. Despite the rapid modernisation of life in the twentiethcentury, through the 1970s the inhabitants of this community remained relatively unchanged in their mannerisms and way of life. Herb Cohen was invited by the cowboys he photographed to be a participant in their lives. In addition, he was equally welcomed into families on the Navajo Reservation. Based on these connections Cohen captured images few had access to at the time. His photographs reveal the historical and cultural significance of the people who settled these regions.

The Humbert Collection, containing approximately 140 vintage photographs collected between 1863/64 in Japan, is an invaluable account of the Edo-to-Meiji period transition, which shaped the West’s image of this insular nation Contains some of the earliest photographs by Felice Beato and Shimooka Renjô Infrared photographs - a new form of research undertaken by Tokyo University - allow us to read hitherto hidden metadata on the back of the prints
Photographs taken in Japan between the late Edo period and early Meiji periods found their way overseas, and played a major role in forming Westerners’ image of Japan. Among these collections, the pictures gathered by the Swiss diplomat Aimé Humbert (1819-1900) in the 1860s were crucial in building lasting representations of the island nation: many of these, mainly collected in 1863/64 during a sojourn in Yokohama and Edo, were used as sources for the well-known and largely distributed engravings of his famous book Le Japon illustré, published in Paris in 1870. Belonging to the collection of the MEN, these beautiful and well-preserved photographs are published here for the first time. Presented by Japanese and Swiss scholars before the narrative backdrop of their acquisition and application by foreigners, they offer a striking view of a lost world.

The first art-photography study of the painted towns of Shekhawati, India The book documents a unique and extraordinary vernacular architecture that is fast disappearing from the world due to neglect and urban development The book’s introduction is written by the foremost conservation architect in India, who addresses the importance of preserving the historic Shekhawati buildings
This book tells the story of the painted towns of Shekhawati in rural Rajasthan, India. For centuries the painted buildings served the towns as trading houses, pleasure palaces, temples, caravansaries and private homes. Following independence, the descendants of the merchant families left Shekhawati for India’s burgeoning cities, abandoning their opulent structures. Some were left in the charge of caretakers; squatters took up residence in many; most simply remain vacant. The buildings have slowly deteriorated over time, ravaged by climate and neglect, and now lie scattered among the desert settlements as an elegiac collection of beautiful living ruins - a crumbling open-air gallery set amid the ordinary affairs of small town life. This book portrays the fascinating ruinous beauty of the painted towns, and, along the way, provides an intimate look at life and landscape on the arid fringes of Rajasthan. This world, too, is fading, and so the book’s photographs, in the end, are a visual study of both place and society at the edge of time.

One of the few western photographers allowed access to the capital of North Korea, Eddo Hartmann captures the surreal character of North Korean ambition
In Setting the Stage: North Korea photographer Eddo Hartmann shows the North Korean regime’s ambitions to build the ultimate socialist city and to mould the people living in that city to their ideals. Hartmann is one of very few Western photographers who has been allowed almost full access to the country. This publication is the result of many years of research and four visits to Pyongyang. After the total destruction of Pyongyang during the Korean War (1950-53), the government took its chance to rebuild the capital from scratch and to turn it into the perfect setting for their propaganda. Pyongyang was to become the city in which every North Korean could experience true modern socialism. The buildings were to be the utopian background against which the inhabitants could live their daily lives. Pyongyang was to immortalise the socialist revolution. Eddo Hartmann had the exceptional opportunity to photograph this architecture of artificiality. In a series of evocative images, he captures the forced and almost surreal character of North Korean ambition. In a very personal and original style, Hartmann focuses on the individual.

Photographs by Hugo Alcol l
First prize in the ‘Dummy Award’ at the International Photography Festival 2017
Hugo Alcol spent a long time on the music scene before being commissioned to photograph exclusive events and parties. His photos capture more than just the ‘look’ - they capture the mental state of his subjects, and the atmosphere of the party.
“This enigmatic book is both a puzzle and a delight at the same time. As the photos show anything from a Spanish social event, to a weird woman with a rabbit and a dead rat floating upside down in a green pool. Although difficult to quite see what is going on, we are constantly drawn back in to try and understand the narrative and we are wanting to come back for another view. It gets under our skin, and that is a rare attribute.”

This is the first book to offer a broad cultural and geographical typology of shelter spaces in Israel The fantastic photographs seek to straddle the distinct worlds of fine art and reportage exploring ideas of modern Israeli identity
From its foundation in 1948, the state of Israel has felt isolated and under threat from enemies. This collective siege mentality manifests itself with over 1 million public and private shelters. The Israelis have integrated these ‘Doomsday spaces’ into their everyday life and transformed them into spaces that look like normal dance studios, bars or temples. For many people in Israel who live with a personal history of exile and persecution, these shelters are the architecture of an existential threat both real and perceived. Adam Reynolds shot the images in this book over the course of three years, from 2013 to 2015. The photographs offer a broad cultural and geographical typology of the shelter spaces by documenting them on either side of the Green Line, throughout Israel and the Occupied Territories, in an effort to offer the broadest survey possible. They straddle the distinct worlds of fine art and reportage. “Working in a country like Israel, it is difficult, if not impossible, to separate art from social reality,” says Adam Reynolds.

Paris - like you have never seen it before - through the eyes of one of the greatest photographers of our time William Albert Allard, long-time contributor to National Geographic magazine and master of colour imagery, has taken his unique perspective to the City of Light
For 31 years William Albert Allard has returned again and again to the City of Light in the true spirit of the flâneur, to wander the streets aimlessly, yet ever alert to moments he might capture in his camera. With superb colour perception, this masterful portraitist and long-time contributor to National Geographic magazine has returned from his strolls with images ranging from fashion models backstage, to a beautiful young café patron lost in thought, to bikini-clad sunbathers in a grassy park in the Marais or lying on the sand of man-made beaches along the Seine. As does a flâneur, Allard has often walked about Paris in pursuit of nothing specific but everything in general. He is known for his meticulous framing of the moment, all the many pieces of a visual puzzle falling gracefully into place. Allard claims he misses far more than he gets, but those he does capture are truly memorable pictures one can cherish, from a city that never stops offering more.

Many cities can boast beautifully designed buildings, but New York’s architecture is different. This photo book of New York tells the city’s story of impressive buildings and streets filled with inspiring people. New York is a city that worships those who work hard, yet shows no mercy to those who slip through the cracks. And yet, its tenacious residents, who hail from all corners of the globe, are proud to call it home. Unified by its diversity, the city inspires belief in the idea that individual happiness is self-made, as its streets and buildings seem to suggest that everyone can strive to be the best version of themselves. In a world that struggles to deal with ever-changing demographics, the Big Apple sets a shining example

An entertaining panorama of back-stage spaces the protagonists of show business encounter in metropolitan and provincial Switzerland A performing artist’s view of the places of ultimate preparation before curtain
All across Switzerland, in smaller towns like Schaffhausen or Biel as well as in larger villages such as Altdorf or Buchs, there are local public theatres, restaurants with a stage, or multi-purpose halls. This part of the country is second home to Beat Schlatter, actor-comedian, playwright, and the person behind one of Switzerland’s most famous faces. For some thirty years, he has travelled Switzerland in every direction to perform his own programmes and to appear in shows, and he has rested, changed, and made-up his face in hundreds of these places that offer some form of a back-stage. When on tour, Schlatter takes photographs of these usually dull transitional spaces where A, B, and C celebrities and local stars and starlets await their appearance. This new book, featuring around 300 of Schlatter’s images, is a testimonial to the moderate tristesse and the well-intended fruit bowl inherent to all these spaces, no matter how conventional or hilariously extravagant they may seem.

Spanning the entire history of the medium, it lacks hardly any of the names that forged this history. It comprises some of the most famous masterpieces by artists such as Eugène Atget, Robert Adams, Walker Evans, and Robert Mapplethorpe as well as works by contemporary photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Thomas Struth. The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne is one of the world’s leading museums entirely dedicated to photography. A highlight in the museum’s 2018 exhibition program is the show The Beauty of the Lines, featuring some 120 works from the Gilman Gonzalez-Falla collection. The coinciding book presents the selected images in visual confrontations rather than just chronologically, offering a key to their physical quality and inviting the reader to question his or her own individual experience of sensitive relationship to the photographic image. Published alongside the images are an essay exploring the range and significance of the collection and a conversation with Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla.

After capturing the culinary hotspots and fashionable places to be and to be seen in Paris, London and Amsterdam, photographer Henk van Cauwenbergh turns his lens to one of Belgium’s most beautiful cities. Antwerp is a city that does not follow trends, but sets them - according to the photographer. In addition to the illustrious places to wine and dine, there are undoubtedly new and hidden places to discover. Combined with images of the rich historical heritage and other popular attractions such as MAS, the zoo, Central Station, the cathedral and the Port of Antwerp, this book becomes an impressive photographic anthology of a treasured city. Wonderful Antwerp is also a visual homage to George van Cauwenbergh, the photographer’s late father, esteemed city guide and professional Antwerpian who taught so many to look fondly at the city and to love her with all their heart.

Discover surf spots, as well as authentic beach restaurants, hidden hotels, architectural gems, secret camper sites and the most idyllic road and surf trips Drone footage of the surf coasts of Spain and Portugal like you’ve never seen before
Lifestyle journalist Veerle Helsen went “out-of-office” for six months, bought an old camper and travelled by herself along the Spanish and Portuguese coastline. Ever true to her motto “surf, see, sleep & eat”, she combines three of her passions in this book: surfing, travelling and discovering hidden gems. She searched and found camper spots so quiet she could stay there for days without seeing another soul, secret beaches that aren’t indicated on the map where one can sit back and watch the waves.

While she drove, her drone was beside her on the passenger seat and her surf board was on the roof. Locations include: the coastal regions of Algarve, Alentejo, Lisbon, Beira, Minho, Douro, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and Pais Vasco.
