Mick Jagger Edited by Valeria Manferto De Fabianis Text by Billy J. Altman There may have been musical rebels like Elvis Presley before him, but once Mick Jagger first burst on the scene in 1962 as lead singer for England’s convention-defying Rolling Stones, the mold was broken once and for all. Even fifty years later, his singing and performing style is still the benchmark against which all rock ’n’ roll frontmen are measured. And with good reason: Jagger’s distinctive, malleable voice and preening, prancing antics onstage have yet to be duplicated, let alone equaled or surpassed. Remarkably, now seventy years old, Jagger is still going strong on all fronts – and with all his unique cheekiness and take-no-prisoners attitude gloriously intact. The ultimate “Midnight Rambler” rock ’n’ roll rebel.

Tragedies and Mysteries of Rock’n’Roll Text by Michele Primi John Lennon said: “We’re going to live, or we’re going to die. If we’re dead, we’re going to have to deal with that. If we’re alive, we’re going to have to deal with being alive.” Is there a curse on Rock ’n’ Roll? Is talent so powerful that it destroys? The death of one of the purest musical talents in recent years, Amy Winehouse, has reopened this and many other questions. The “Club 27” really does exist, and it includes some of the best musicians of all time, very young adults who created works of art but who were themselves overwhelmed by art. This volume tells their story: from the first, Robert Johnson, who is said to have sold his soul to the devil for the gift of Blues, on to Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain, and passing through the runaway lives of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, the mysterious death of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, and the fatality of “the day the music died” in 1959, when Buddy Holly’s airplane crashed. There is suicide as the only way to affirm oneself; there is transgression taken to extremes; there is mystery and senseless evil, manifesting in the pistol shot that killed John Lennon. There are stories that read like a detective thriller, like those of Bobby Fuller or Jim Morrison, and the touching human story of Freddie Mercury; there are Bob Marley, Keith Moon, and the absurd destiny that binds Tim and Jeff Buckley; but above all there is a lot of great Rock music. Because, as Neil Young sings in Hey Hey My My, “Rock’n’roll is here to stay. It’s better to burn out than to fade away.”

The Milestones of Rock & Roll The Events that Changed the History of Music New Text by Ernesto Assante What would music be like today without the first appearance of the Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964, or if Pete Townshend had not written the revolutionary “My Generation?” Would people still talk about rock if Jimi Hendrix hadn’t set fire to a guitar at the Monterey Pop Festival? Rock music has been created by a series of legends whose lives, although short lived in some cases, had a lasting influence on this musical genre. The plane crash of 1959 which took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, is remembered as ‘the day music died,’ whilst the sudden passing of musical giants like Elvis Presley and John Lennon is still deeply felt today. Rock is also as much about its audience and performances, as it is about its stars. It is Woodstock in 1969, the event that marked the apex of hippie counterculture, but it is also the Live Aid concerts, which began in 1985 to raise funds for Africa. This richly illustrated book presents the great events and lesser known facts that shaped the history of rock and music and, in some cases, changed the world. ERNESTO ASSANTE, is a correspondent for Italy’s “La Repubblica” newspaper, a music critic, author and TV and radio host. Alongside Gino Castaldo he presents “Playlist” on Radio Capital and “Webnotte” on “Repubblica.tv”. He has written several books, including “Legends of Rock” for White Star (2007) and Beatles with Gino Castaldo for Laterza (2014).

More Than Just a Kiss The gratest love movies Text by Robert Marich This book presents a collection of the greatest love movies, etched in the public’s mind for their romantic stories featuring famous actors, framed in epic surroundings, and delivering memorable words. Fifty memorable films, from the black and white era to today, are handsomely presented and analyzed in words and pictures. The book explains their enduring appeal, provides entertaining insight on the talent that made them, and points out little known but fascinating bits of their history. The sophisticated atmosphere of “English Patient”, elegiac style of “Out of Africa”, and pageantry of “Shakespeare in Love”. The book has plenty of star power provided by Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, Richard Gere, Hugh Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and others. And then there are the words that inspire the romance! From “When Harry Met Sally…”, the Meg Ryan character captures the sad plight of wounded hearts on the rebound with “The first date back is always the toughest, Harry.” And a non-sensual phrase from “Casablanca” somehow resonates forever with moviegoers as a romantic/tragic farewell in “Here’s looking at you kid.”

Enzo Ferrari began working with automobiles in 1918, first as a tester, then as a driver and eventually as team manager.

Under his guidance and with his inspiration, the Maranello company has produced innumerable masterpieces and his spiritual inheritance was fully carried on by those who succeeded him in leading Ferrari. This is an innovative editorial concept made by a 40-pages little book that retraces the fundamental stages of the evolution of the “Prancing Horse”, and a folded book with 20 sheets bringing together the 40 most representative Ferrari.

The Golden Era of Classic Cars From the early 1900s to the late 1960s New Text by Sebastiano Salvetti There are automobiles that left no trace of their passing; they slipped into anonymity almost as though they had never existed, vanished like snow in the sun, swept away by the succession of models, version and generations. And then, instead, there are vehicles that made history, stirring the souls and thrilling the hearts not just of enthusiasts, but also the wider public. Milestones of automobiles; reference points for design, performance and fascination. Real icons of technology. Immortals. This book is dedicated to these jewels on four wheels, produced from the start of the 1900s up to the ’60s – one of the greatest periods ever from the point of view of creativity and engineering advances. Like stroking the pearls that make up a necklace, thanks to its exciting images, anecdotes, curiosities and detailed technical analysis, this book accompanies the reader through time, looking at the 80 models that were most characteristic of the first 70 years of the 20th century. SEBASTIANO SALVETTI has always been fascinated by apparently very different worlds, those of automobiles and mountains, both of which he turned into a profession thanks to his passion for technology and his research into materials. Having graduated in law and become a professional journalist, he worked with the outdoor sports monthly “Montebianco” and for seven years on the magazine “Automobilismo”, specializing in test drives, tuning and off-road. After a spell as technical director at Ski-alper, the only European magazine specializing in Alpine skiing, he now works with automobiles on the portal Red-live.it, the magazines “Gente Motori”, “Auto&Fuoristrada” and “Gente Motori Classic” as well as the bimonthly “Motori Agricoli” and the websites gazzetta.it and ilgiornale.it.

Dream Cars of the 21st Century Photographs by Ron Kimball Text by Massimo Mambretti It seduces both men and women indifferently, especially when it is powerful and luxurious. Even more when it is unique, or nearly so. The specimen of the high-end luxury car is not only the utmost interpretation on the theme of the automobile, but it is also the inspiring Muse for the creativity and skills of designers and engineers, as well as the dream of all enthusiasts. There never passes a year, nor even a month, without new award-winning supercars coming out. And it matters little whether it is a One-Off, a specimen Just For The Few, For Many But Not For All, or an Instant Classic. Still, it could be the interpretation of concepts destined to exalt its performance – like the lightness of a Featherweight – or to generate (today), with their concept outfitting, automobiles that Will Be Famous. The images and texts in this volume recount the stories of the most important supercars of the last decade. A roundup that entrusts the automobile with what is, perhaps, the best of all roles: that of arousing emotions. RON KIMBALL is an internationally renowned photographer specializing in the automotive industry. A remarkable number of exotic autos have been scrutinized in his studio, from the last concept cars to the classic autos of the 1950s. Through his unwavering gaze, Ron Kimball’s photography makes each snapshot a work of art. For over 30 years, his works have been published worldwide. He has authored publicity campaigns, calendars, product packaging, greeting cards, posters and books. His splendid photos appear frequently on numerous magazines such as “Time”, “Newsweek”, “Business Week”, “Auto Trader Magazine”, “Condé Nast Traveler”, “National Geographic” and “Car and Driver”. MASSIMO MAMBRETTI debuted in the publishing sector as a writer for the “Gazzetta dello Sport”. In 1980, he became a member of the editorial staff of the “Quattroruote” magazine. He then transferred to “Gente Motori” magazine and at the turn of the 1980s was made a special correspondent for the weekly magazine “Auto Oggi”. In 1997, choosing to continue as a freelance professional besides being engaged in editorial activities, he became Press Office Director of the Bologna Motor Show and the Auto Salon of Turin. He subsequently returned to full-time work in the publishing sector and currently collaborates with the newspapers “Il Giornale” and “Sole 24” Ore as well as the magazines “Automobilismo” and “La Mia Auto”.

Lives behind the wheel the Great Formula 1 drivers New Text by Roberto Gurian The history of Formula 1 is replete with events linked to drivers who, more than the races themselves, have contributed to make the sport popular and fascinating. This book features 43 personalities from the racing world: from the champions of the 1930s to the talents of today. It describes their lives and successes through revealing anecdotes and, in many cases, recounts their tragic deaths. The lives and the careers of these champions are fascinating not only for their achievements, but also for their stories that sometimes verge on the unbelievable. From Tazio Nuvolari, known as ‘Il Mantovano Volante’ (The Flying Mantuan), who conquered hearts with his incredible feats, to Juan Manuel Fangio, five-time world champion, considered by many to be the greatest racing car driver of all times; from Niki Lauda, who in 1976, survived a horrific accident, to Gilles Villeneuve who personified courage and the ability to dare the impossible; to the more recent, from Prost and Senna to Schumacher and Vettel. What these personalities have in common is that they are all legendary motorcar racing drivers. ROBERTO GURIAN, has worked as a professional journalist since the 1980s, working with various specialized motoring newspapers before continuing his career as a freelancer. Currently he collaborates with Corriere della Sera Auto, AM and RSI, the Swiss-Italian television network, reporting on car tests and Formula 1 Grand Prix races.

Legendary Sailboats Beken of Cowes Foreword by Kenneth Beken Text by Bruno Cianci The history of sailing photography, since its earliest beginnings, has been linked to the Beken family. Alfred Edward Beken and his son Frank started taking photos of yachts in 1888, when they moved to Cowes on the Isle of White, renowned even then for racing. They developed a refined technique that, in just a few years, would make them renowned in the sailing world. More than a century later the Beken archive, a truly unique collection, consists of more than 200,000 photographs of incalculable value, from precious, historical black and white plates to high-quality and technically perfect contemporary digital photos. Through an amazing selection of historic images from the Beken collection, ranging from the late 19th century to the 1930s, this volume brings together some of the most intense and beautiful portraits of vintage yachts ever to have sailed in the Solent. Accompanied by a detailed and informative commentary by Bruno Cianci, these legendary images take the reader on a journey through time, to discover the fascinating world of sailing and marine photography in times past. The BEKENS began their love affair with marine photography in 1888, when Alfred Edward (1855-1915) moved from Canterbury (Kent) to the Isle of Wight with his son Frank (1880-1970). He purchased a pharmacy in Birmingham Road in the seaport of Cowes, a town that was already famous for international yacht racing and for the world’s oldest regular regatta, the renowned Cowes Week. Alfred and young Frank started shooting photographs to capture sailing yachts at their best and racing yachts in action, a real challenge at that time. These beautiful photographs started being sold in the pharmacy as souvenirs, and in the space of a few years they caught the attention of the world of yacht racing and sailing aficionados, earning the Beken family followers across the globe. Queen Victoria, King George V, and most recently the Duke of Edinburgh awarded the company a Royal Warrant for excellence.

The first successor to Peter coming from the ranks of the Jesuit Order, he has always condemned unjust distribution of wealth, economic inequality and poverty as true human rights violations, like a “social sin” that robs many brothers and sisters all over the world of the chance to enjoy a full life. In this volume, which gathers the pope’s most authentic message, you will find an appeal to not slip away from the true mission of the Church, called to be the bearer of the announcement at the foundation of the Christian faith: the salvific love of God and salvation through Jesus Christ. GIUSEPPE COSTA, a Salesian priest and journalist, specialized in

Bonsai Photographs by Fabio Petroni Text by Anna Maria Botticelli Preface by Luigi and Susanna Crespi These spectacular images will transport you to a garden filled with the finest miniature plants. Fabio Petroni’s vivid photographs capture 30 specially chosen bonsai close up and in surprising detail as they change with each season. You’ll see as never before the grace of their outlines, the strong buds preparing to open, the delicacy of the flowers, and the perfection of every leaf. - For this volume, Gruppo Crespi Bonsai exclusively offered Petroni and Botticcelli the opportunity to work where hundreds of extremely rare bonsais are grown. - Gruppo Crespi Bonsai is world-famous for housing the largest and most complete collection of bonsai trees outside Japan. These priceless works of art created by famous masters (some no longer alive), can rarely be admired elsewhere– even in the country where this art originated. FABIO PETRONI specializes in portraits and still lifes. He has photographed leading Italian celebrities, and works with top advertising agencies where he handles important Italian brands. His books with White Star include “Horses: Master Portraits”, “Mutt’s Life!”, “Cocktails”, and “Supercats!”. He lives in Milan. ANNA MARIA BOTTICELLI is a microbiologist who has worked with various Italian publishers. For “Gardenia”, Italy’s most important monthly magazine on gardening, she oversaw the production of several monographs, and published “Ritratti di Orchidee” (Idealibri). With Clementina Cagnola, she wrote “La salute foglia per foglia” (A. Mondadori) and in collaboration with the IBC (International Flower Bulb Centre), she edited “Giardini in vaso” (A. Mondadori). LUIGI CRESPI was the first Italian to design Japanese gardens, and founded Crespi Bonsai, the Crespi Bonsai Museum, and the Bonsai University. He has written numerous books on bonsai, and was an international consultant to the World Bonsai Friendship Federation (WBFF). He received the European Suiseki Association (ESA) Recognition and the WBFF Recognition awards for his commitment to promoting bonsai. He is an honorary member of Nippon Bonsai Sakka Kyookai and received the prestigious Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays honor from the Japanese government.

Orchids Photographs by Fabio Petroni Text by Anna Maria Botticelli Bewitching, sensual, disturbing: orchids, whose natural species number over 25,000, have forever sparked overwhelming love. Cartier took inspiration from the exquisite blossoms of the Phalaenopsis to create a precious collection of jewels. The volcanic British stylist Vivienne Westwood mixes them extravagantly, in the living room of her home, with paintings and books. One of the most prestigious fashion houses in France, Van Cleef & Arpels, chose one, the Vanilla fragrans, for its very famous and unmistakable perfume. Illustrious personages, artists, and adventurers, dressed in the garb of enterprising plant hunters, have gone round the world in search of them, bringing them back to the West. Important entrepreneurs have become fanatic collectors of them... It is not unusual, then, for even a master photographer like Fabio Petroni to be so deeply struck: he decided to portray them in still-lifes, to present us with close-ups, macros, and details of great charm and appeal. 208 pages • 25.5 x 34.5 cm Hardcover with jacket 978 88 544 0765 7
Roses Photographs by Fabio Petroni Text by Natalia Fedeli “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” wrote William Shakespeare. And many other poets and writers have dedicated lines to these beautiful flowers that have always adorned and embellished gardens and houses. Wonderful petals, a thorny stem, warm but at the same time delicate colours and an enchanting and intoxicating fragrance. These are the secrets of the rose, of which, however, the true essence remains elusive. A master of still life photography, Fabio Petroni, has turned his attention to roses in all their infinite manifestations. Through his lens, he has endeavoured to capture those aspects and details that make this flower, the symbol of love, grace, and the most intimate secrets, unique. Spectacular pictures, an elegant editorial format, wonderful close-ups and a final section that features the history and characteristics of the varieties of roses photographed. These are the secrets of this large-format publication, in which roses are the absolute protagonists and in which the pages merge with the petals.

The Last Supper Leonardo Da Vinci The Masterpiece revealed through High Technology Edited by Haltadefinizione Preface by Franco Giulio Brambilla Text by Domenico Sguaitamatti
208 pages • 29.5 x 36.5 cm 140 color photographs Hardcover with jacket 978 88 544 0762 6
When Leonardo da Vinci began laying the first brushstrokes, in 1494, he probably had no idea he was about to create one of the greatest artistic masterpieces of all time. Adopting the innovative dry painting technique, the Renaissance genius could not foresee that he would have condemned his work to a particular fragility, and put its conservation at risk in the following centuries. This same technique, however, was what allowed an improved chromatic unity, a rendering of transparencies and light effects, and an extreme precision in details, visible only from close range. Today, thanks to the exclusive magnification published in this volume, even the smallest details of the Last Supper, invisible to the naked eye, can be observed in all their expressive splendor. As you leaf through this book you can admire from up close, as never before possible, the realistic expressions on the faces of the individual Apostles, the movements and positions of their hands, and the smallest details of the outfitted table, thus entering practically into direct contact with Leonardo’s genius at work. FRANCO GIULIO BRAMBILLA is a member of the CEI Episcopal Committee for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Catechism.

I love Pasta An italian love story in 100 recipes Edited by Academia Barilla
272 pages • 20 x 26.5 cm Hardcover with slipcase 978 88 544 0784 8
With pasta, it is love at first sight… or perhaps we should say love at first bite. It is a love that continues due to pasta’s infinite variety of shapes, colors, scents and flavors. There are countless stories, styles, techniques and condiments. From spaghetti with tomato sauce, the epitome of simplicity and elegance, to delicious oven-baked cannelloni, pasta breaks all world records for taste and creativity, both in Italy, where it is a national monument, and abroad, where it has conquered tables and lifestyles across the board. As any pasta lover knows, to reach the height of pleasure, each pasta shape – and the Italian cuisine boasts countless varieties – must find its “twin sauce” in order to enhance it to the fullest. This recipe book stems from the desire to relate how the personality of each shape, made up of weight, structure, thickness and surface, makes it best suited to the sauce that, in the annals of history, has shown greater gastronomic affinity with its nature. One hundred recipes recount as many successful love affairs. Each was born in Italy, and adapted to any place endowed with suitable ingredients and conviviality. And each, from egg tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce to bucatini Amatriciana, and from orecchiette with turnip greens to Genoese minestrone with ditalini rigati, is just waiting to be devoured. For BARILLA, it’s not just about being a world leader in pasta production. It’s about producing culture. To fulfill its mission to spread authentic Italian cuisine, of which pasta is the undisputed queen, throughout the world, in 2004 Barilla created the international ACADEMIA BARILLA center, equipped with technologically advanced teaching and practical training environments and a rich gastronomic library featuring a unique collection of its kind.

Along the walk it is possible to meet fellow travelers whose memory will accompany us for the rest of our lives. Or else we might meet ourselves. The book is presented as a practical guide for those who wish to undertake what has been one of the busiest pilgrimages from the Middle Ages up to the present day. Following the traditional “French Way”, on foot or by bicycle, this guide will accompany the traveler from both the practical and spiritual point of view. Pocket-sized and easy to consult, it allows stepby-step route planning in both directions: it contains all the practical tips needed to make the most of this unforgettable experience. Each stage is accompanied by a detailed map, technical indications, a description of the sites and historic and artistic details about the different areas the Way passes through. Specifically it includes distances, altimetry, places to rest and sleep, alternative routes and places to visit, for a journey that includes cultural and natural elements. The various stages are also accompanied by phrases and points for reflection that help to complete a journey that is not merely geographic. A special space – the pilgrim’s notebook – is provided for pilgrims’ own thoughts and impressions, in such a way that it might become a unique personal guide, “one’s own” guide to the Way of St. James, a book to treasure and remember.

Horses Breeds, cultures, traditions New edition Text by Susanna Cottica and Luca Paparelli Ranging from the ancient traditions of the Palio di Siena to the magnificent displays of the Cadre Noir, from the agile and graceful Arab steeds to docile ponies and wild Przevalski’s horses, through the most important international equestrian events, this book explores the world of horses, in a sincere and sympathetic homage to one of Man’s most loyal friends. The most enthusiastic among the photographers, who are specialized in this field, drawing on their sensitivity and experience, guide the reader to penetrate the very heart of equinitas and to understand, through photographic images, the authentic and unmistakable character of the different breeds; fifty breeds have been selected, representing various continents and natural environments and, for each one of them, a number of particularly characteristic examples are portrayed. The book also features some of the most renowned equestrian schools from around the world, as well as the most famous sporting events, ranging from the horse riding competitions that have made the history of equitation to new competitions which have recently become popular, in other parts of the world, far away from those places that are more traditionally associated with equitation, a sign that this noble sporting activity has also put down roots elsewhere. In addition, there are some of the most evocative folkloristic events, which have always, the world over, drawn on the local equestrian heritage to render the celebration of various occasions, both holy and secular, more moving and spectacular. SUSANNA COTTICA is an equestrian journalist for the magazines “Cavalli & Cavallieri” and “Il Mio Cavallo” and the editor of the Italian translation of Carnet de Champion by French Olympic rider Michel Robert. She is a third level F.I.S.E. (Italian Equestrian Federation) instructor and a rider specializing in show jumping. LUCA PAPARELLI has nearly twenty years’ professional journalism experience in the field of equestrian sports and horse breeding, covering related news for “Cavalli & Cavalieri” and “Il Mio Cavallo” magazines. As one of the world’s leading experts, he is a frequent speaker at major breeders’ events.

Horses Master portraits Photographs by Fabio Petroni, Foreword by Oliviero Toscani Preface by Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum The history of horses is tightly interwoven with that of humanity, which owes its equine friends a great deal, from fieldwork to transport, from traveling and discovering to sports. This volume is a tribute to mankind’s tireless companion. Clever use of light, which comes from Petroni’s long experience as a still life and portrait photographer, has enabled him to create original images, with a style that is spectacularly enhanced thanks to the book’s large format. Here, in front of the camera, horses are smart, timid, aggressive, proud, indolent, protective, curious, and gentle horses, in an explosion of emotions. 176 pages • Large format 34 x 41.5 cm 140 color photographs • Hardcover with jacket 978 88 544 0561 5 also available in reduced format 28.5 x 34.9 cm
Wild horses Text by paolo manili This magnificent volume portrays our beloved equine friends in the rarely seen and increasingly endangered setting of the wild. The aesthetically stunning photographs provide the increasingly rare opportunity to glimpse them in the ever more endangered setting of untrammeled nature. The book is the product of the patient work of a small band of dedicated photographers who tracked wild horses in the farthest reaches of the world, from Iceland to Namibia, from the steppes of Mongolia to the American plains. A breathtaking contrast to the domesticated variety and that used for equestrian sports, the equines featured here include the Mustang, the Steppe Horse, the Brumby, the Crioulo, the Iceland Pony, the Namibian Horse, and the Maremmano Horse. 240 pages • 24.2 x 33.3 cm 206 color photographs • Hardcover with Jacket 978 88 544 0480 9
Horses Photographs by Gabriele Boiselle, Text by Agnès Galletier Gabrielle Boiselle nurtures a passionate love for horses, which she photographs with unrelieved ardor. Her pictures are never trite, but capture the very soul of these extraordinarily sensitive creatures that exude a powerful and untamed energy and unrivaled grace and nobility. The author-photographer has captured on film the poetry and beauty that horses radiate, as well as the deep emotions they convey. 300 pages • 23.5 x 25.1 cm 280 color photographs • Hardcover with Jacket 978 88 544 0725 1

Lingerie
The Evolution of Seduction Edited by Valeria Manferto De Fabianis Text by Anna Folli From the corset to the G-string you can choose to conceal or to reveal, the important thing is to be liked and to like yourself. In this book, the history of lingerie is seen both for its elegance and from an ironic angle. Starting from the first bodices and corsets which were true instruments of constriction hidden under layers of crinolines, we come to the glittering and theatrical display of lingerie on the catwalks of the most recent fashion shows. 256 pages • 22.2 x 28.8 cm • 165 color photographs Flexibound with flaps and jacket 978 88 544 0477 9
Masterpieces of Italian Design Text by Design.doc Since the 1930s, the “Made in Italy” label has been synonymous with design excellence, the very definition of style, beauty, sensuality, and whimsicality. This volume is a museum galley of Italy’s greatest designs of products for the home, including typewriters, lamps, sofas and chairs, kitchen appliances, salt and pepper services, ashtrays, and more. Over 200 photographs of classic objects by the nation’s top designers are featured with texts that describe the context of their origins and influences from around the world. 272 pages • 22.2 x 28.8 cm • 165 color photographs Flexibound with flaps and jacket 978 88 544 0584 4
Pop Art Text by Martina Angelotti, with Valentina Ciuffi and Veronica Lenza This compact overview of Pop Art gathers nearly 200 full-color reproductions of its masterpieces with texts that trace the history of the iconoclastic movement from its origins in the U.K. through its explosion in the U.S. and subsequent European incarnations. Featuring a special introductory chapter on Andy Warhol and brief biographies of each artist represented, the book shows how Pop Art objectified mass-produced imagery from advertising, Hollywood movies, television, comic strips, deftly and often hilariously breaching the gulf between high and low art. 272 pages • 22.2 x 28.8 cm • 147 color photographs Flexibound with flaps and jacket 978 88 544 0579 0
