an open eye and mind. His critical appraisals of trends in both Europe and the United States continue to stimulate art lovers around the globe. Spies’s collected writings first appeared in German in 2008, and sold out immediately. Now these 10 volumes, beautifully printed with over 1,400 color illustrations and presented in a slipcase designed by Andreas Gursky, are being made available in English for the first time. The subjects addressed include Picasso, Ernst, Pop and Op Art, Surrealism, and much more. In their wealth of detail, and in their reflection of personal encounters and impressions, Spies’s writings constitute an important resource on modern art. Werner Spies, former director of the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris, has authored catalogues raisonnés of major 20th-century artists and conceived and curated major exhibitions. He has published a number of monographs and has written for decades for leading German newspapers. Andreas Gursky is one of the most acclaimed artists at work today.

ubbed the enfant terrible of fashion ever since his prêt-à-porter collections were first shown in 1976,

Jean Paul Gaultier, whose avant-garde and bold fashions very early on reflected the issues facing contemporary society, is one of the leading designers in recent decades. Published in conjunction with the first-ever retrospective on Gaultier, organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, this stunning monograph explores the ties between the designer and the pop/rock music scene, film, and dance, and sheds light on his sources of inspiration, which are as eclectic as they are impertinent. Packed with rare and unpublished images (archival and fashion-show photographs), this luxurious volume includes many interviews with artists (Dita von Teese, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Catherine Deneuve, Marion Cotillard, Pedro Almodóvar, and others), Gaultier’s close associates (Martin Margiela, the head of Gaultier’s studio, and others), and personalities (Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Inès de la Fressange, Polly Mellen, and others), as well as an essay by one of the fashion world’s most influential figures, fashion editor Suzy Menkes. It also features interviews between Gaultier and each of the exhibition curators, and an expanded and illustrated biography with all his collections. The Fashion Universe of Jean Paul Gaultier is a fitting and much-deserved tribute to a grand couturier, and a reference book on fashion. Nathalie Bondil is the director and chief curator of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Suzy Menkes is a fashion journalist and editor at the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune. Florence Müller, the exhibition’s guest curator, teaches fashion history and contemporary fashion at the Institut français de la mode in Paris. Thierry Loriot is the exhibition curator.

“This is a charming and utterly alluring book that makes you want to cook and knit and have a little chat about the kids. I love Michelle Edwards’s drawings, and the design of the book is an artwork in itself.” —Jane Smiley, author of many novels and knitter of many sweaters

Knitter’s Home Companion is an illustrated collection of stories, patterns, and recipes from beloved

knitter and essayist Michelle Edwards. This heartwarming title will appeal to knitters interested in not only stitches, yarn, and patterns, but also in the lives of other knitters, the lessons that can be learned from their craft, the ways knitting helps knitters cope during difficult times, and the role of knitting in family life. “Let [this book] keep you company when you need another knitter’s voice beside you,” Edwards writes in her introduction. Like a good friend,

“When I read Edwards’s stories, I think about the legacy I am leaving to my daughter by teaching her the craft that I love so much and what a treasure a handmade gift really is.” —Vanna White

A Knitter’s Home Companion will inspire readers to laugh, cry, remember, be thoughtful, cook, and, of course, pick up their needles. Divided into four chapters—Motherhood, Home, Community, and Legacy—stories range from “but She Doesn’t Have Any underpants,” about the challenges of knitting for family to “Home Ec Workshop and the

Fenway has an aura in Boston like the ruins in Rome. The place has a mystery. It has ghosts. It has an interesting set of shadows. The tragedy of the Red Sox constantly failing in the fall gave it a sensibility that attracted an underworld, underground people. Two thousand four in my view is still the greatest sports story ever told. The idea that you would have the Red Sox win their first World Series in 86 years, to do it at the expense of the Yankees, and to do it in something that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done in 140 years in a seven-game series in baseball.

ing Loop-d-Loop series by Teva Durham. In this install-

ment, Durham shatters the idea that lace is old-fashioned by presenting more than 30 cutting-edge knitting designs that are as up-to-the-minute style-wise as they are thoroughly steeped in lace tradition. The projects cover a wide spectrum, from classic shawls and camisoles that utilize traditional laceweight yarns and revered stitch patterns, to ultramodern pullovers and accessories in bold colors and chunky yarns that showcase lace at a larger scale. Projects range from easy to advanced. Detailed swatch photos throughout illuminate the stitchwork, while color fashion photos show off the finished garments with the series’ signature modern, romantic appeal.

book characters Dick and Jane. This time around, though, our straitlaced protagonists are venturing into some rather dark, twisted, and bawdy places. The images are perfectly rendered in warm, nostalgic shades, and the tone of the text is sweet and simple, but the content leans toward sex, drugs, and violence, with healthy doses of innuendo.

Fuller’s development of his Dymaxion Map and Car, and Geodesic geometry, are discussed in detail as is Noguchi’s multifaceted career as sculptor, landscape architect, industrial designer, danceset designer, and artist without borders who challenged the artificial opposition between the fine and applied arts. Sadao’s role as partner to both gives him privileged access to details unavailable to others, resulting in a warm and intimate—and fully illustrated—narrative that documents an exceptional relationship.

Special inserts include actual facsimiles of some of these now-obscure items—talismans from a slower time, when formality, pride, and courtesy prevailed. There are special sections on two major events: the Festival of Britain in 1951, and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. With brief, lively introductions and captions, this is a captivating snapshot of how people lived and played in Britain in those years. Basil Hyman is the author, with Steven Braggs, of The G-Plan Revolution.

Robert Storr, who has had a long working relationship with Richter, explores both the painting and the event itself, through a very personal account of his experience in New York on the day of the attacks. Storr shows, both through words and comparative illustrations, how this painting is part of a current running throughout Richter’s career of responses to traumatic, violent, and controversial events, including works based on the bombing of cities in World War II and the capture of the West German Baader-Meinhof terrorist group. robert Storr is an artist, writer, and exhibition maker, and the dean of the Yale University School of Art.
