● A handsomely illustrated study of one of the world’s greatest contemporary artists ● Includes Johns’s most iconic paintings, sculptures, works on paper and collages
Jasper Johns (b. 1930) is regarded as one of the most influential American artists of the last sixty years. When he broke onto the New York art scene in the 1950s, Johns and his lover Robert Rauschenberg established a decisive new direction in an art world that had been dominated by the Abstract Expressionists. Johns’s striking use of popular iconography, such as flags, numbers and maps, rendered with a distinctive textural, painterly surface, made a colossal impact. In this handsomelyillustratedstudy,theleading authorities on Johns’s work examine his pioneering œuvre and offer a detailed overview of the career and international significance of this subtlest of craftsmen.

Dalí/Duchamp examines the oftenoverlooked relationship between two of the twentieth century’s most famous artists. Though polar opposites at first glance – Duchamp, the father of conceptual art who rejected painting in 1918, and showmanlike Dalí, the exceptional painter of fantastical landscapes – the two men were united by a combination of humour and scepticism that led both to challenge conventional views of art and life. After meeting in the 1930s through mutual contacts within the Surrealist group, they maintained a firm friendship over the following decades, spending
time together in Paris, New York and Catalonia, where Duchamp purchased a summer house in Cadaqués, close to Dalí’s home in Port Lligat. Throughout the book, expert contributors explore common abiding themes, chief among them eroticism and identity, and both men’s surprising engagement with science, optics, religion and myth. Each section is sumptuously illustrated with intriguing pieces from both artists’ bodies of work and features previously unpublished photographs, letters and ephemera that demonstrate the enduring warmth of their friendship. Dawn Ades is Professor Emeritus of Art History at the University of Essex and Professor at the Royal Academy of Arts. Montse Aguer is the Director of the Centre for Dalinian Studies at the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation. Cécile Debray-Amar is Curator of Modern Collections at the Centre Gerorges Pompidou, Paris.

The Disappearing Architecture of Post–War Britain
Rebuilding Britain after World War II and through the post-austerity decades of the 1960s and 1970s allowed architecture to embody a vision of a better future – both social and technological. The work of such practitioners as Ernő Goldfinger, James Stirling, Alison and Peter Smithson, Team 4, Ahrends, Burton & Koralek and Lyons, Israel & Ellis, on many types of building across the country, was captured by equally radical photographers, providing a record of a time when a belief in progress underlay innovation in design. This book documents thirty-five buildings dating from 1945 to 1979, all of them significant architecturally and through the ideas they represented. Most have been either demolished or radically altered; the rest face imminent demolition or alteration. Owen Hopkins examines the complex social, economic, political and cultural contexts in which they were built and in which their eventual destruction could be seen as inevitable and even welcome.
