A Way of Living: The Art of Willem de Kooning

Back in print, the essential exploration of the design, history, and culture of the motorcycle – an icon of the machine age

Motorcycles are ubiquitous in the world’s streets and cities, evolving over decades in engineering and design to meet individual transportation needs. With the coming demise of the internal combustion engine and the rise of electricpowered vehicles, motorcycle design is being revolutionized by new technologies, the demands of climate change, and global social transformation. The Motorcycle: Design, Art, Desire traces the exciting evolution of this automotive icon – and the culture of desire, freedom, and rebellion that surrounds it. Charles M Falco is professor of optical sciences and of physics at the University of Arizona. Alongside his lifelong passion for motorcycles, his work has seen him collaborate with artist David Hockney on a research project into the historic use of optical aids in painting. Ultan Guilfoyle is an award-winning producer, director, and writer, whose films include Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006) and Making Space, Five Women Architects (2015).

Published January 2023 Praise for The Motorcycle:

‘90 years of motorcycle history in one beautiful coffee table book.’ – GQ

‘... the spirit of the hand that twists open the throttle on the crackling engines of big bikes and rides them on racetracks or through traffic or, on occasion, into oblivion.’ – Danny Lyon, The Bikeriders

Also available: Praise for the 1998 Guggenheim exhibition The Art of the Motorcycle, curated by Falco and Guilfoyle:

‘… less about the unpretentious joys of vernacular sculpture than the way in which subculture eventually morphs into super-culture, master narrative rising from lowly premise. [...] rife with giddy pleasures.’ – Frieze
