hroughout history, works of art have been left unfinished, for a wide variety of reasons.

Some of these have, over time, become as valuable—or more—than completed works by the same artist. Spanning the 15th to the 20th centuries, The Unfinished Painting looks at 50 such works by old and modern masters, including

from the illness or death of the artist to war, lack of funds for materials, cancelled commissions, or dissatisfaction with the subject or medium. A discussion of the way unfinished works from centuries ago—some crude, some unpolished, some simply abandoned ideas—have influenced modern paintings in styles ranging from Cubism to Abstraction accompanies superb colorplates, revealing the past from an unusual vantage point. Nico van Hout is curator of the department of 17th-century painting at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp.

n the rereleased edition of Trout of the World, fans of James Prosek’s unique painting talent will revel in the addition of 30 new fish paintings and a newly penned preface.

First released in 2003, Trout of the World features original watercolors of trout from

around the world, ranging from the Oxus trout of eastern Afghanistan to the small golden brown trout of British chalk streams. Each unique painting is coupled with a historical profile of the fish, as well as personal reflections from the author. Prosek savors the beauty of various fishing spots, along with the fate of the species, contemplating man’s role in the extinction of animals. Both sensitive and informative, Trout of the World is a must for the library of the recreational fisherman as ichthyologist. James Prosek wrote his first bestselling book, Trout: An Illustrated History, while he was an undergraduate at Yale. Since then he has illustrated and penned 10 more, including The Complete Angler, Early Love, Brook Trout, and Eels. When he’s not chasing trout, Prosek lives in Easton, Connecticut.

he Fashion Insiders’ Guides are carefully curated compendiums of the current hotspots, classic haunts, and hidden gems of

the world’s greatest fashion destinations. A former Parisian living in

New York, French Vogue correspondent Carole Sabas was often approached by friends and colleagues on their way to Paris for Fashion Week, looking for the best place for a quick facial, early morning yoga, or to meet a friend for a drink. So many people asked, in fact, that she produced a small guide filled with advice, which she gave out for free. Requests for more information and other cities came pouring in. Abrams is now making Sabas’ Paris and New York guides available to everyone, with expanded content including chapters such as “Eating and Drinking,” “Beauty,” “Health,” “Shopping,” “Art,” and an eclectic selection of odds and ends called “Might Be Useful One Day.” Written with a light touch and in a friendly tone, each entry includes a description of the recommended spots with hints about when to go, who to ask for, and what to get, as well as location and contact information. The inclusion of additional advice from local fashion celebrities on their favorite places to frequent puts readers confidently in-the-know. Peppered throughout with drawings by a noted and local fashion illustrator, these beautifully designed guides will be the must-have accessories of the season.

Carole Sabas was born in Marseilles, France, and has worked as French Vogue’s New York correspondent for the past five years. She lives in New York.

T hom a s o’Br i e n I n the follow-up to the bestselling American Modern, Aero celebrates 20 years of the famed Aero design studio with an intimate look at its founder Thomas O’Brien’s design philosophy. From O’Brien’s vivid reminiscences

about his early days in art school in Manhattan to the opening and development of his paired studio and

store, Aero covers the history and aesthetic of this Soho, New York, landmark. Aero is where Thomas O’Brien formulated the “warm modern” look that first brought him to prominence, though his style is truly about finding modern and classic form in many things: downtown’s industrial and artistic loft culture, the luxurious elegance of the prewar city uptown, and the essential simplicity of American country antiques and rural living. Showcasing never-before-seen images of the store through the years, O’Brien’s first homes, Soho lofts, and Aero’s signature refurbished vintage furniture, this book gives readers access to the archives of a working design studio and store. Aero: Beginning to Now traces the themes and details that have become keys to Aero’s influential style. It is a rare, rich portrait filled with unvarnished and charming honesty and O’Brien’s personal stories of the New York design world. thomas o’Brien is an interior and home furnishings designer based in Manhattan. He is the founder and president of Aero Studios, one of America’s most respected design firms, and the proprietor of AERO, the influential home boutique located in the studio in Soho.

The definitive Star Wars book is back in stock with a striking new cover featuring a classic image from Return of the Jedi

n 1997, as George lucas worked to complete early drafts for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, he enlisted the talents of some of the

greatest storyboard artists of the modern era to illustrate conceptual storyboards that would inform the development of the final shooting script, as well as the finished film. Working from lucas’s ideas for scenes

and sequences, these artists produced beautiful drawings that helped lay the foundations for the worlds, characters, and shots of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Together, these conceptual storyboards show early takes on favorite scenes; alternate, unused approaches to character designs and environments; and entirely different approaches to key moments. like wordless comic books, they have an energy and rhythm all their own that is fascinating to explore. now, for the first time, lucasfilm has opened its archives to present the best of the conceptual storyboards for Episodes I, II, and III. Star Wars Storyboards: The Prequel Trilogy collects the best storyboards from all three films together in one striking volume, along with relevant

excerpts from the shooting scripts. Throughout this book, readers will he single most comprehensive collection of Star Wars images— hundreds of which have never been seen before—Creating the

t one time or another, every potter gets frustrated at the wheel. whether struggling

to center the clay or attach a handle with precision,

potters of all levels crave advice and answers, and world-renowned ceramicist and youtube sensation simon leach has plenty to give. in Simon Leach’s Pottery Handbook—a book-and-DVD package—he presents clear tutorials and loads of original instruction on all of the core techniques, from studio setup to basic throwing, to applying appendages, trimming, glazing, and firing. For each technique, detailed step-by-step photography captures the subtle, intricate movements that typically fly by too fast to be learned when watching a video lesson; callouts then lead readers to the relevant video on the DVD so they can see the technique demonstrated in real time—an ideal combination that makes learning from the master easy.

How to Tie More THan SixTy ingenious, USefUl, BeaUTifUl, lifesaving, and SecUre KnoTS!

n August 7, 1974, Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between the New York

World Trade Center’s twin towers, where he performed for nearly an hour. During this history-making walk, and many others throughout his celebrated career, knots have always been indispensable components—the guardian angels protecting his life in the sky. After years of hands-on research, Philippe presents Why Knot?, a guide to tying his essential knots. Philippe’s own practical sketches illustrate original methods and clear, clever tying instructions. Photographs in which special knots were used during spectacular high-wire walks, quirky knot trivia, personal anecdotes, helpful tips, magic tricks, and special tying challenges ensure that, if you’re not already nuts for knots, Petit will transform you into a knot aficionado.

Yves Saint Laurent was more than just a stylist: He was a genius designer who reinvented the world of haute-couture. From the beginning, YSL wanted his clothing to be accessible to women all over the world. His “Rive Gauche” collection was the first-ever ready-to-wear collection made by a haute-couture designer.

t’s a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who

all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. But this utopia hides a dark secret. First there is the dead body of a woman found

floating in the crystal-clear water. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. Soon everybody is growing older—every half hour—and there doesn’t seem to be any way out of the cove. Levy’s dramatic storytelling works seamlessly with Peeters’ sinister art to create a profoundly disturbing and fantastical mystery. Pierre oscar levy is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. He lives in France. Frederik Peeters’s previous graphic novels have received multiple nominations for top awards at the Angoulême International Comics Festival. He lives in Switzerland.

storytelling and art at its finest, as we follow Don Quixote on his search for adventure and chivalrous quests—and he will not be defeated by such foes as logic, propriety, or sanity. Miguel de cervantes was a celebrated Spanish Renaissance playwright, poet, and novelist. rob Davis has drawn Judge Dredd and Dr. Who comics and worked as an illustrator for newspapers and children’s publishers. He lives in Dorset, England.

Until a few years ago, biographies of both Turner 9 781849 760850

and critic John Ruskin claimed that in 1858 Ruskin burned bundles of erotic paintings and drawings in a fit of embarrassed Victorian censorship, to protect the artist’s reputation. However, in 2005 Turner scholar Ian Warrell suggested that the alleged burning never took place, and that almost all of the allegedly destroyed drawings are actually in the Tate collection, part of the Turner Bequest. Here Warrell explores this little-known aspect of the

artist’s work in detail, placing the work in the context of Turner’s social and artistic milieu, contemporary preoccupations with art for public and “private” consumption, and the intricacies of the artist’s personal life and canonical works.

Primarily a painter, Lee was widely acclaimed during his lifetime for his virtuoso prints of landscapes, town scenes, and historic buildings, executed in a remarkable variety of sizes and media. From the Colosseum in Rome to the

e XHiB ition scHe DULe Royal Academy of Arts, London, Feb–May 2013

summit of Mount Snowdon in Wales and the windmills of Kent, England, he traveled throughout Britain and Europe in search of subjects both epic and picturesque. A leading authority on printmaking and a committed collector of Lee’s prints, Robert Meyrick identifies the precise locations of these subjects and establishes an accurate chronology of Lee’s printed work. Robert Meyrick is head of the School of Art and keeper of the School of Art Museum and Collections at Aberystwyth University in Wales. In 2001 he was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of PainterPrintmakers in recognition of his services to printmaking in Britain.

he great ballerina Anna Pavlova (1881–1931) began her career with the Imperial Russian Ballet in 1909,

moved to Paris to dance with Vaslav Nijinsky in Sergei

Diaghilev’s famous Ballets Russes, and formed her own dance company in London in 1912. Like celebrities of today, she toured the world, endorsed beauty products and department stores, appeared in fashion magazines, and even made a Hollywood movie. But her passion was always ballet, which she sought to bring to as wide an audience as possible. Many of the works she brought with her from Russia are regarded as the foundation of today’s classic ballet repertoire. Created to celebrate the centenary of the founding of Pavlova’s English dance company, this book offers an intimate look at the legendary ballerina whose name still resonates 80 years after her death. Jane Pritchard is a dance historian. She is curator of dance at the V&A and cocurator of the exhibition “Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes 1909–1929.” Caroline Hamilton is a freelance costume and dance historian with a passion for early 20thcentury ballet.
