Published to mark the display of library of exile at the British Museum, this beautifully produced new book reflects on the themes raised by de Waal’s thoughtprovoking work of art. The introduction from Hartwig Fischer, Director of the British Museum, positions the artwork within the wider context of the Museum’s collection, highlighting the dialogue between objects from across time and throughout history and the contemporary. Finally, de Waal concentrates on the work itself, its journey to the British Museum via Venice and Dresden, and its future role in the foundation of the New University Library in Mosul. The library contains 2,000 books written by authors in exile in numerous languages from antiquity to the present day. The exterior walls, washed with porcelain over sheets of gold are inscribed with the names of libraries from history – from Nineveh and Alexandria to those lost more recently including Timbuktu, Aleppo and Mosul. Displayed inside the structure are four vitrines of porcelain vessels inspired by Daniel Bomberg’s Renaissance printing of the Jewish scripture, the Talmud. Visitors are invited to contemplate and respond to the books by writing their name on the ex libris bookplate inserted into each edition.

Reflections: contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa Venetia Porter with Charles Tripp and Natasha Morris
Showcases the British Museum’s extraordinary collection of contemporary works on paper by artists of the Middle East and North Africa.
4
Reflections: contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa brings together an extraordinary collection of work from the British Museum for the first time. The contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa is rich and vibrant. Whether living in their countries of birth or in diaspora, the featured artists are part of the globalised world of art. Here we see artists responding to and making work about their present, histories, traditions and cultures, reflecting on a part of the world that has experienced extraordinary change in living memory. The British Museum has been acquiring the work of Middle Eastern and North African artists since the 1980s, and the collection – principally works on paper – is one of the most extensive in the public sphere. Collected within the context of a museum of history, the works offer insights into the nature of civil societies, the complex politics of the region, and cultural traditions in their broadest sense, from the relationship with Islamic art, to the deep engagement with literature. The introduction to the book by curator Venetia Porter explores the history of the collection and the works included. The essential framework for understanding the politics and context within which the artists are working is provided by Charles Tripp’s essay. The works are grouped into seven chapters, each beginning with a short introduction. The authors explore the selection within themes such as faith, abstraction, and the female gaze.

Living with art The Alexander Walker collection Dr Catherine Daunt
A catalogue of the unique collection of modern and contemporary prints and drawings of film critic and author Alexander Walker
6
In 2004 the British Museum received a bequest of 211 modern and contemporary prints and drawings from the influential film critic Alexander Walker (1930–2003). Undoubtedly one of the most important bequests in recent years, the acquisition of these works has transformed and significantly expanded the Museum’s collection of modern and contemporary Western graphic art. Walker was born in Portadown, Northern Ireland but spent most of his career in London, writing weekly film reviews for the Evening Standard for over 40 years. He also wrote a number of highly successful books about film including the ground-breaking 1969 publication Sex in the Movies, a trilogy of books about the British film industry and numerous biographies of directors and actors. Walker’s collecting began tentatively in the early 1960s but gained in momentum as his confidence grew and his disposable income increased due to the success of his books. He lived with his collection around him, using every inch of space in his modest London apartment. Walker developed a network of art dealers, gallerists and publishers whom he viewed as advisors, mentors and friends. These trusted figures introduced him to the work of many of the artists represented in his collection. As part of the bequest, the British Museum obtained Walker’s complete archive of correspondence and paperwork relating to his prints and drawings collection, which this publication draws on in both the essay and the catalogue. As a result, Walker’s own voice is fully present in this book.

Engineer, Agitator, Constructor The Artist Reinvented, 1918–1939 Edited by Jodi Hauptman and Adrian Sudhalter
Surveys the political engagement, fearless and groundbreaking visual experimentation, and utopian aspirations of artists in the early 20th century
8
‘We regarded ourselves as engineers, we maintained that we were building things’, declared Hannah Höch, describing a radical new approach to artmaking that took shape in the 1920s and 30s, in lockstep with the era’s shifts in industry, technology and labour, and amid the impact of momentous events: World War I, the Russian Revolution, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the rise of fascism. Artists involved with varied avant-gardes – Dada, the Bauhaus, Futurism, Constructivism and de Stijl – reinvented their roles to create a dynamic art for a new world. This experimentation is richly represented in the Merrill C. Berman Collection, one of the most significant private collections of early-20th-century works on paper. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition celebrating MoMA’s acquisition of more than 300 works from the collection, this richly illustrated book includes close readings of drawings, propaganda posters, advertising, architecture, exhibition installations, journals and theatre design. Among the themes it explores are the crucial role of collage and photomontage in the interwar period; the importance of collective authorship; and the impact of political, economic and social change on visual culture.

Luigi Ghirri: Cardboard Landscapes Photographs from 1971–73 Introduction by Sarah Hermanson Meister
The first publication of Luigi Ghirri’s Cardboard Landscapes, a unique photographic work that draws on Pop and conceptual art to create a poignant journey through the Italian landscape
The Museum of Modern Art, New York
Sarah Hermanson Meister is Curator in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992) was a celebrated artist and photographer known for his colour photographs of landscape and architecture.
Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992) coined the term “sentimental geography” to describe a unique artistic approach in which the ordinary was worthy of scrutiny. In March 1975, on a visit to New York, the esteemed art historian Arturo Carlo Quintavalle hand delivered a unique representation of Ghirri’s work to John Szarkowski, director of MoMA’s Department of Photography at the time. Among the items Quintavalle donated to the Museum on behalf of the artist was a handbound album of 111 photographs from the early 1970s titled Paesaggi di cartone, or Cardboard Landscapes. The volume was then deposited in the departmental collection, where it remained, out of sight, for nearly four decades. Of his dozens of publications (many of them issued by the art press he ran with his wife), nearly all are now out of print, and few have been translated into English. Now this luxe facsimile edition makes Ghirri’s singular, all but unknown presentation album available to the public for the first time—at a moment of increasing recognition of Ghirri’s significance in the history of photography.

Robert Frank: Trolley— New Orleans MoMA One on One series Lucy Gallun
The latest books in MoMA’s One on One series will highlight photographs in the Museum’s collection.
10
In the midst of an extended road trip across the United States, Robert Frank pointed his camera lens at a passing trolley in New Orleans, took a single exposure, and then turned back to bustling Canal Street, where crowds of people swarmed the sidewalks. That single click of the shutter produced a picture with enduring clarity: a row of windows framing the street car’s passengers – white passengers in the front, black passengers in the back. Frank captured individual faces gazing from each rectangular frame, from the weary black man in his work shirt, to the young white girl just in front of him, her hand resting on the wooden sign that designated areas segregated by race. In 1958, Frank wrote: “With these photographs, I have attempted to show a cross-section of the American population. My effort was to express it simply and without confusion.” By the time The Americans was published in the United States in 1959 (he managed to publish a French edition the previous year), with this image now appearing on its front cover, New Orleans street cars and buses had been desegregated through a May 30, 1958 court order. But Jim Crow was still in full swing the 1960s Civil Rights struggles still ahead. An essay by curator Lucy Gallun conveys how this image continues to reverberate in new contexts today.

Helen Levitt: New York, 1939
Helen Levitt’s photographs from the 1930s and 1940s of the communities of New York City’s Harlem are startling achievements of street photography. They catch the evanescent configurations of gesture, movement, pose and expression that make visible the street as surreal theatre, and everyday life as art and mystery. The unguarded life of children at play became Levitt’s particular preoccupation. Levitt resisted political readings of her work, and distanced herself from the progressive impulses of social documentary photography. But class, race and gender are everywhere at work in Levitt’s images. The diffidence and deceptive artlessness of the images also hide her devotion to both popular and avant-garde cinema, and attention to the work of other photographers frequenting of New York’s museums and galleries. Shamoon Zamir examines the different registers and contexts of Levitt’s work through a reading of New York, 1939, one of Levitt’s iconic images. Shamoon Zamir is Professor of Literature and Art History at New York University Abu Dhabi. Photography 35 illustrations 22.9 x 18.4cm 48pp paperback ISBN 9781633451209 October £10.95
Cindy Sherman: Untitled #96 MoMA One on One series Gwen Allen
In 1981 Cindy Sherman was commissioned to contribute a special project to Artforum magazine. Given two facing pages, she chose to explore the pornographic centerfold, creating 12 largescale horizontal images of herself appearing as various young women, often reclining, in private, melancholic moments of reverie. As Sherman explained, “I wanted a man opening up the magazine to suddenly look at it in expectation of something lascivious and then feel like the violator that they would be.” Sherman’s Centerfolds were so provocative that they were never published for fear that they would be misunderstood. Art historian Gwen Allen’s essay examines one of the most iconic photographs in the series, Untitled #96 – in which a young woman lies on her back against an orange and yellow vinyl floor, clutching a scrap of newspaper – exploring the production and critical reception of Sherman’s Centerfolds in relationship to the politics of pornography, gender, and representation. Gwen Allen is Professor of Art History and Director of the School of Art at San Francisco State University. Photography 35 illustrations 22.9 x 18.4cm 48pp paperback ISBN 9781633451186 October £10.95

Painted canvases, works on paper, and small-scale sculptures reveal the historical soul of Twombly's abstract compositions. Taking on myths and heroes as personal guides, he created a psychologically complex dialogue with the visual and literary art of antiquity. This sumptuously illustrated publication reproduces a carefully chosen selection of the artist's paintings, drawings, and sculptures alongside works of classical antiquity, including a number from his personal collection. Illuminating essays by leading scholars explore the often enigmatic engagement of Twombly's art with the world of the past.

Juno A Colossal Roman Statue Christine Kondoleon, with Susanne Gänsicke
An illuminating introduction into the creation and history of a colossal Roman sculpture
16
If this monumental second-century Roman statue could speak, she would tell of travels from a theater in ancient Rome to a Christian church to the gardens of an Italian prince’s villa – and then across the Atlantic to a suburban garden, where she endured for a century before finding a home at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Although standing 13 feet tall and weighing some 13,000 pounds, this colossal statue has a long history of hiding in plain sight. Now, stylistic evaluation, historical research, and technical examination have revealed connections with five other “sister” statues, all carved of Carrara marble, that were part of an Augustan renewal of Rome. Despite losing her head (and gaining a new one), and suffering damage and repairs, she has continued to be admired throughout two millennia. As the largest classical sculpture in North America, newly restored and protected from the elements at last, she has just begun to share her secrets.

Streeton Edited by Wayne Tunnicliffe
The most significant retrospective of Australian impressionist artist Arthur Streeton
Art Gallery of New South Wales
Wayne Tunnicliffe is Head Curator of Australian art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and curator of the John Russell exhibition. His previous publications include John Russell: Australia’s French impressionist (2018) and Pop to popsim (2014). He was curatorial advisor and essayist for Australia’s Impressionists (2016) at the National Gallery, London.
Australian artist Arthur Streeton produced remarkable evocations of light and the landscape, and he remains one of the most enduring and popular painters in Australian art. From his early twenties Streeton’s exceptional abilities as a painter were evident, and his skill saw him adapt his mark-making to his purpose as he set solid elements as rocks, land and structures against ephemeral smoke, clouds and rain showers. His sun-drenched impressionist landscapes from the 1880s, joyful depictions of Sydney beaches and harbour in the 1890s, and pastoral paintings from the 1920s and 30s continue to define an image of our unique environment for many Australians. Streeton is the first major book on the artist to date. With essays by authors including Tim Bonyhady, Jane Clark and Roger Benjamin, as well as museum curators, the book features his much-loved paintings as well as works from Streeton’s international career with his paintings of Egypt, Venice, England, Italy and the battlefields of First World War France, covering his practice from 1885 to 1940. A key focus is Streeton’s deep concern about the destruction of our cities, Australia’s forests and the degradation of our waterways, heralding our conservation and climate-change debates today.

Modern World The Art of Richard Hamilton Michael Bracewell
A rare monograph on one of the most influential and prescient artists of the 20th century, dubbed ‘the father of Pop art’, whose seminal and pioneering work explored and crystallized the rapidly changing postwar world of consumer capitalism and popular culture
Art / Books
Michael Bracewell is a British writer, critic and novelist. who writes widely on modern and contemporary art .
Richard Hamilton was the most influential British artist of his generation. Often described as ‘the father of Pop art’, he produced experimental and multilayered work in a range of media that both explored and crystallized the postwar world of consumer capitalism and popular culture in an attempt to ‘get all of living’ into his art. Seminal works such as his collage Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing? from 1956 and his silkscreen and related series based on a news photograph of Mick Jagger Swingering London 67 came to define an era in which new commodities and technologies, mass production, mass media, and celebrity came to the fore, and challenged the hierarchical values of ‘high’ and ‘low’ art. And his importance to fields beyond contemporary art was demonstrated when he was asked to design the cover of the Beatles’ so-called White Album in 1968. In this book, acclaimed cultural commentator and writer Michael Bracewell presents a concise introduction to this deeply complex artist. Written from a personal perspective, it discusses Hamilton’s all-embracing work in relation to the music, film, and popular culture of the day in a rich new interpretation of his art and ideas. The book covers the full scope of Hamilton’s practice, and includes examples from the various media in which he worked, from collage, print and painting to sculpture and photography. With photographs and quotes from Hamilton throughout, this attractive volume will appeal to anyone wanting to understand his iconic and pioneering work and its lasting cultural legacy.

Rural Raymond Depardon
Raymond Depardon’s studies of rural France combine intimate observation with the evocative timelessness of place
Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris
Raymond Depardon holds a unique place in the field of the contemporary image. In 1967, he co-founded the Gamma Agency (Paris), and in 1978, he joined the Magnum Agency (Paris). From his first pictures taken in the early 1960s to his latest trips to Africa and South America, Raymond Depardon’s work is characterised by its fundamentally human approach.
'To photograph and film farmers means entering their private lives and creating relationships of trust over many years.' Raymond Depardon During the 1990s and 2000s, Raymond Depardon crisscrossed agricultural France with his 6 x 9 view camera. From this exploration of the rural world, he made black-and-white photographs that tell the story of the land, the people, manual labour, the isolation and fragility of small farms, but also the beauty of the French countryside. This work is published as a tribute to Raymond Depardon’s roots.

The Final Painting The Last Works of the Great Masters, From Van Eyck to Picasso Patrick de Rynck
Discover the stories behind the last works of the world’s greatest painters, including the likes of Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, Modigliani and Hopper
24
An intense focus on the late and final work of great painters has become a striking trend in recent years. Exhibitions have been devoted to ‘the Late’ Raphael, Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Manet, Gauguin, Monet, Matisse and Pollock and fresh research has been carried out into the work these artists produced in the twilight of their careers. This has led in many cases to surprising discoveries and a renewed appreciation of the late work. The Final Painting collects these fresh insights into 30 of the world’s greatest painters and their last works in a highly readable book, beginning with Jan van Eyck and ending with Pablo Picasso. Besides the painters mentioned already, it includes Bellini, Titian, Caravaggio, El Greco, Rubens, Artemisia Gentileschi, Cézanne, Klimt, Renoir, Modigliani, Munch, Mondrian, Kahlo and Hopper. Persistent myths and clichés are challenged: Van Gogh was not the solitary figure as so often suggested: the story behind Raphael’s celebrated La Fornarina was made up in the 19th century; the elderly Tintoretto did not paint many of his huge late canvases single-handedly; and Manet’s last works are much more than the paintings of a terminal patient.

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) is one of the most important and influential artists of the Northern Renaissance. He was a painter, printmaker and theorist and knew the major Italian artists of his time, such as Raphael, Bellini and da Vinci. His enormous talent and skills as a draughtsman were manifested at a very young age: they can already be seen in the silverpoint Self-Portrait made in 1484 when he was barely thirteen years old. His introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, secured his reputation as the most important figure of German Renaissance. Dürer in Detail reveals the work of the German master as never before, in breathtaking, full-page details. Till-Holger Borchert describes Dürer’s paintings, drawings and graphic masterpieces detail by detail, while offering original insights in clear and accessible language. The book is organized thematically and includes a biography, an annotated list of works and a suggested reading list.

Chinese Photography: Twentieth Century and Beyond Rongrong
A new and in-depth look at Chinese photography given by China’s top curators and thinkers

Photography is generally accepted as an invention dating back to 1839, and within five years, the medium had already been introduced into China. The development of Chinese photography has a long and varied history and this book examines it chronologically over the course of three chapters: "Photography during the Republic of China and War Photography", "Photography after the Founding of the People's Republic of China", and "Chinese Contemporary Photography". From the unique body of work seen in Chinese pictorial photography to the country's war photography, and from revolutionary photography for the workers and soldiers to the diverse exploration of photography since 1976 and the experiments of the 1990s, the works included in this book present the essence of Chinese photography as never before, revealing the rich and varied creations of Chinese photographers and the evolution of their understanding of the medium. With valuable contributions from ten leading scholars, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn about the great diversity and absorbing history of Chinese photography.

All at War Photography by German soldiers 1939–45 Ian Jeffrey
A unique and intimate record of anonymous lives during WWII, through the lens of the German soldiers themselves
In September 1939, thousands of German soldiers were turned loose on Poland. In 1940, they descended on Holland, Belgium and France. In 1941 they went to the Balkans, and then to the USSR. Armed with Leica and Rolleiflex cameras, some of these soldiers were officially commissioned as photographers, while others were asked by their commanders to snap records of events. Among them were trainees who knew about the Bauhaus, and other, older men who could remember Weimar. Some excelled at formal portraiture, others were storytellers, stylists or humanists who wept at what they saw. The style and content of their work changed along with the collective mood after 1942, a change that is discernible in the photographs themselves. Celebrated author and art historian Ian Jeffrey – author of How to Read a Photograph and The Photography Book – has trawled through these albums, picking out the most compelling of these works to create an intimate record of anonymous lives experiencing the unprecedented.

Hilma af Klint is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich. Now, for the first time, af Klint’s works, some 1,600 in all, have been collected in a Catalogue Raisonné. Af Klint’s work should be seen and appreciated in the series of paintings often depicting specific themes and this groundbreaking publication, divided into seven volumes, allows for this. The first three volumes are being published simultaneously. Volume I, Spiritistic Drawings, explains the process of abstraction in her work and how a group of female friends, 'The Five', played a major role. The group were inspired by nature and received messages from a medium to broadcast to humanity through pictures. Volume II, The Paintings for the Temple, presents her paintings in the same order that af Klint herself numbered them; an important aspect that clearly enhances the reader’s understanding and feel for her artistry. Finally, Volume III, The Blue Books, show af Klint’s sketchbooks for The Paintings for the Temple. The artist always travelled with these sketchbooks in order to show the world her creations in a more accessible format. Produced with the permission of the Hilma af Klint Foundation and featuring introductions by Daniel Birnbaum and Kurt Almqvist, a separate slipcased edition containing all seven volumes will be available in autumn 2021.

The international art world has been taken by storm by Hilma af Klint’s art. From the initial success of the show at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm 2013 to the exhibition in New York’s Guggenheim Museum, the Ax:son Johnson Foundation has arranged a number of international seminars, in conjunction with the exhibitions, in order to promote scholarship about Hilma af Klint and set her pioneering work in historical context. Hilma af Klint: Seeing is believing reproduces the last abstract images series made by af Klint in the 1920s, which have never before been published in their entirety. These images are complemented by essays based on lectures delivered during the exhibition Hilma af Klint: Painting the Unseen, at London’s Serpentine Galleries in 2016. Briony Fer, David Lomas, Branden Joseph, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Daniel Birnbaum shed new light on af Klint and her importance for artists today, also addressing the need for a broader conception of art history that her work proposes.

Michael Schmidt was a German photographer whose subjects of interest were Berlin and "the weight of German identity in modern history". In 1965 Schmidt began photographing the streets, buildings and people of West Berlin in a semi-documentary approach. He went on to make a series of "ambitious projects" there, all in black and white and becoming more impressionistic, until his death in 2014. Each project was exhibited, then published as a book.

The first publication to survey the complete oeuvre of photographer Michael Schmidt
Michael Schmidt occupies a unique position in contemporary German photography. Born in Berlin and with no formal training in photography, in the mid-1960s he discovered the medium as a form of artistic expression. For each of his series, Schmidt developed an individual photographic method of accessing reality. This retrospective presents his life’s work chronologically and is the first survey exhibition of the photographer. Along with the series Waffenruhe (1987), Ein-heit (1996), Lebensmittel (2012) and other original photographs, unpublished working prints, book drafts and archive material illustrate the development of Schmidt’s artistic work, which has been seminal for a younger generation of photographers due to its continual exploration and innovation.

Helen Levitt began to take street pictures in the mid-1930’s and had a solo exhibition at MoMA in 1943. Another MoMA presentation, in 1974, was one of the first major museum exhibitions of serious colour photography. Her pictures appeared in numerous group shows from The Family of Man to Documenta X, and has been the subject of retrospective exhibitions worldwide. James Agee was a writer, film critic, and screenwriter. His major works include Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, and screenplays for The Night of the Hunter and The African Queen.

Helen Levitt: A Way of Seeing Photographs by Helen Levitt; Essay by James Agee
Helen Levitt's classic presentation of New York street photography in a new expanded and revised edition
34
Originally published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1965, A Way of Seeing is considered a classic among photographic books, and during Helen Levitt’s lifetime two revised versions appeared. This new edition returns the book to its original compact size, with all the original images, as well as additional ones made during the same years. John Szarkowski wrote: ‘Around 1940 Helen Levitt made a series of candid black and white photographs on New York streets. These pictures, quickly recognized as extraordinary, established a new documentary genre for American photography: Her photographs were not intended to tell a story or document a social thesis;… most of them show the games of children, the errands and the conversations of the middle-aged, the observant waiting of the old. What is remarkable about these photographs is that these immemorially routine acts of life, practiced everywhere and always, are revealed as being full of grace, drama, humour, pathos and surprise, and also that they are filled with the qualities of art, as though the street were a stage, and its people were all actors and actresses, mimes, orators, and dancers’.

Blinky Palermo The Complete Editions Yilmaz Dziewior, Julia Friedrich, Susanne Küper and Fred Jahn; Edited by Julia Friedrich
36
By combining and colliding the unexpected, the US artist John Baldessari, born 1931, creates conceptual works that raise questions regarding what art is, how art is made, and what art can look like. After concluding in the 1960s that a photographic image or a text were more adequate expressions of his artistic intentions than painting, John Baldessari’s practice took a new direction. Since then, Baldessari has combined subjects from the imagery of popular culture with linguistic examinations, creating works that challenge artistic norms and boundaries. This catalogue, published to accompany the exhibition at Moderna Museet, Stockholm, spans Baldessari’s entire career and shows the breadth of his artistic practice: you will encounter paintings, photographs, the moving images and the traces of performative acts. The book also includes a wide selection of Baldessari’s own writings from 1968–2011. Matilda Olof-Ors is an assistant curator at Moderna Museet, Stockholm.

The German artist Peter Heisterkamp (1943–1977), who named himself after the mafioso Frank "Blinky" Palermo, is known for his objects, installations, and above all for the bright colour fields of his fabric and meta l pictures, which supposedly directly illustrate what they conceptually ques tion: the sensual qualities of contemporary painting. Less well known yet no less clever and stimulating are works he cre ated in editions: screen prints and offset prints, lithographs, objects, and a template for painting. Palermo made these editions throughout almost his entire career. They not only reflect his development from the 1960s to his early death in 1977, but also represent a deliberate expansion of his work. In 2018 a complete set of Palermo’s editions became part of the Museum Ludwig’s collection. Having been subject to an in-depth scholarly research, they will now be presented in an exhibition for the first time. This exhibition catalogue also includes an updated version of Fred Jahn's out-of-print catalogue raisonné from 1983. Yilmaz Dziewior is director of the Museum Ludwig. Julia Friedrich is a curator at Museum Ludwig. Susanne Küper is an art historian and curator. Fred Jahn was a gallerist and publisher.

Gerhard Richter. 92 Zeichnungen 2017-2020
Drawings are rarely present in exhibitions and can sometimes not endure the erosive effects of daylight. The book, however, is the natural ally of drawings; within their pages they are protected and widely available. This unique publication, which features no text, has been designed and perfected through numerous revisions by Gerhard Richter himself. It presents 92 thus far unknown, mostly abstract colour pencil drawings but also crayon and chalk drawings, mediums Richter used for the very first time. All are reproduced in their original size and were produced between 2017 and 2020. Born in Dresden in 1931, Gerhard Richter left the former GDR in 1961 to study in Düsseldorf, later living and working in Cologne. His practice has redefined the medium of painting, combining a rigorous conceptual approach with a sumptuous yet elusive beauty. His mastery of genres spans landscapes, portraiture, still life and abstraction. Art 92 illustrations 27.0 x 26.0cm 164pp ISBN 9783960987888 July £65.00
This is the first complete documentation of Mikhail Larionov's work: paintings, graphic works, stage designs, costume designs, texts as well as his art collection. One of the first Russian avant-garde artists, Larionov left Moscow at the invitation of Sergei Diaghliev for Paris, where he, together with Natalia Goncharova, left his mark on the visual appearance of the legendary Ballet Russes. His work, as typical of its time, is characterised by a great deal of experimentation – his pictogram-like image and text combinations are even more radical than those of his time as the founder of Rayonism. On over 300 pages and illustrated throughout, over 300 major works are shown, many of them from the collections of the Parisian Centre Pompidou and the Moscow Tretyakov Gallery.

The Color of a Flea’s Eye: The Picture Collection Taryn Simon; Texts by Joshua Chuang and Tim Griffin
Presents Taryn Simon’s photographs of and material sourced from the New York Public Library’s image archive, exquisitely presented as mounted and tipped-in plates
38
Taryn Simon’s The Color of a Flea’s Eye presents a history of the New York Public Library’s Picture Collection – a legendary trove of more than one million prints, photographs, postcards, posters and images from disused books and periodicals. Since its inception in 1915, the Picture Collection has been a vital resource for writers, historians, artists, filmmakers, fashion designers and advertising agencies. Simon sees this extensive archive of images as the precursor to internet search engines. Such an unlikely futurity in the past is at the core of the Picture Collection. The digital is foreshadowed in the analogue, at the same time that history – its classifications, its contents – seems the stuff of projection. Simon spent years sifting through letters, memos and records that reveal an untold story between the library and artists, media, government and a broader public. These documents also divulge the removal and transfer of photographs from the democratically circulating picturecollection folders to the photography collection in the late 1980s when their marketplace value became apparent. Simon’s selection of photographs from these transfers highlights gender, immigration, race and economy in America alongside the technical development of photography. Produced in direct collaboration with the artist, the book contains 57 individually hand tipped–in plates, numerous gatefolds and a variety of unique papers, as well as essays by Joshua Chuang and Tim Griffin.

Frank Gehry: Catalogue Raisonné of the Drawings – Volume One 1954-1978 Jean-Louis Cohen
Inaugurating a landmark publication project on the drawings of one of America's greatest architects
Éditions Cahiers d’Art
Jean-Louis Cohen is an architect, historian and the author of several works on architecture and city planning from the 19th century to today. In 1994, he was appointed Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. He has published numerous books including Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes
This catalogue – the first of eight planned volumes that will critically present the entire oeuvre of Toronto-born, Los Angeles–based architect Frank Gehry (born 1929) using his sketches as the primary graphic material – includes texts and high-quality images of individual works and preparatory drawings. The book explores the beginning of Gehry’s conceptual thinking and his progression from paper architecture to poststructuralism. Pritzker Award–winning architect Frank Gehry is the quintessential “star architect”: he was the subject of a Sydney Pollack documentary, Sketches of Frank Gehry, and Vanity Fair ran a cover story labeling him “the most important architect of our age.” His irreverent buildings, often incorporating swooping walls made of aluminum, titanium or stainless steel, are world-renowned attractions, and his iconic design for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao made both Gehry and the Basque city world-famous. This, the first catalogue raisonné of drawing was written by architecture scholar Jean-Louis Cohen in direct collaboration with Gehry.

Ellsworth Kelly: Windows / Fenêtres Edited by Jean-Pierre Criqui; Foreword by Serge Lasvignes, Bernard Blistène; Text by Staffan Ahrenberg, Yve-Alain Bois and Jean-Pierre Criqui
Lee Ufan: Traces Philippe Vergne, Beck Jee-Sook and Hans Ulrich Obrist
This monograph was co-published by Cahiers d’Art and Centre Pompidou on the occasion of the 2019 exhibition Ellsworth Kelly: Windows, which brought together, for the first time, the six Windows made by Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) in France between 1949 and 1950. Kelly’s years in France were a period of perpetual invention, and are fundamental to an understanding of his work. As he wrote in 1969, “After constructing Window with two canvases and a wood frame, I realized that ... painting as I had known it was finished for me.” This signal moment is evoked through more than 80 works, paintings, drawings, sketches and photographs, along with two beautiful essays by Yve-Alain Bois and Jean-Pierre Criqui. Ellsworth Kelly is one of the most important abstract artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as a key figure in the rebirth of Cahiers d’Art: the publishing house was reopened in 2012 with an exhibition of Kelly’s work in its legendary gallery, and, in collaboration with Yve-Alain Bois and the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation, it published the first volume of Kelly’s Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings, Reliefs, and Sculpture, 1940–1953.

Passionate about prints, Lee Ufan had, for many years, hoped to create an extremely long etching. He wanted to push horizontality to its limits. It was at Michael Woolworth's studio in Paris that he was able to realise this dream. Applying himself, with all his physical strength, to the hardness of the steel plates and the vastness of their length, he created two different works as two ways to explore an infinite trajectory. A hard bound leporello, augmented by a separate text in which the artist explains his unique approach, accompanies the project. Both vigorous and meditative, Lee Ufan's etchings are an invitation to let our gaze drift over the lines and become lost in the voids. Fading in front of his own work, the artist thus traces for us a path to the invisible. Lee Ufan is a Korean minimalist painter, sculptor and academic, honored by the government of Japan for having "contributed to the development of contemporary art in Japan." The art of this artist, who has long been based in Japan, is rooted in an Eastern appreciation of the nature of materials and also in modern European phenomenology.

The Worm Foreword by Richard Danne; Preface by Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth
The Worm showcases over 200 images from NASA’s archives chosen with one simple criteria: each photograph must feature ‘the worm’
44
The original NASA insignia is one of the most powerful symbols in the world. A bold, patriotic red chevron wing piercing a blue sphere, representing a planet, with white stars, and an orbiting spacecraft. Today, we know it as 'the meatball.' However, with 1970’s technology, it was a difficult icon to reproduce, print, and many people considered it a complicated metaphor in what was considered, then, a modern aerospace era. Enter a cleaner, sleeker design created by the firm of Danne & Blackburn in 1975. The world knew it as “the worm” it featured a simple red unique type style of the word NASA. However, in 1992, the 1970s brand was retired except on clothing and other souvenir items - in favour of the original late 1950s graphic. Until today. The worm is back and the unfinished final chapter of the book will showcase it's return and the retro, modern design of the agency’s logo will help capture the excitement of a new, modern era of human spaceflight to the International Space Station, scheduled for May 2020.

Arseniy Kotov; Edited by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell
The first book by Russian photographer and Instagram sensation Arseniy Kotov. The images showcase surviving Soviet Modernist architecture from across the former USSR, much of which has never previously been documented
In recent years Russian cities have visibly changed. The architectural heritage of the Soviet period has not been fully acknowledged. As a result many unique modernist buildings have been destroyed or changed beyond recognition. Russian photographer Arseniy Kotov intends to document these buildings and their surroundings before they are lost forever. He likes to take pictures in winter, during the ‘blue hour’, which occurs immediately after sunset or just before sunrise. At this time, the warm yellow colours inside apartment block windows contrast with the twilight gloom outside. To Kotov, this atmosphere reflects the Soviet period of his imagination. His impression of this time is unashamedly idealistic: he envisages a great civilization, built on a fair society, which hopes to explore nature and conquer space. From the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the desert steppes of Kazakhstan to the grim monolithic high-rise dormitory blocks of inner city Volgograd, Kotov captures the essence of the post-Soviet world. ‘The USSR no longer exists and in these photographs we can see what remains – the most outstanding buildings and constructions, where Soviet people lived and how Soviet cities once looked: no decoration, no bright colours and no luxury, only bare concrete and powerful forms.’

Chernobyl: A Stalkers' Guide Darmon Richter; Edited by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell
Written in a travelogue style, this photography-led book reveals the story of Chernobyl today. With unprecedented access, the book reveals the secrets of the Zone, taking the reader into previously undocumented areas, to examine and explain our enduring fascination with Chernobyl
48
Since the first atomic bomb was dropped, humankind has been haunted by the idea of nuclear apocalypse. That nightmare almost became reality in 1986, when an accident at the USSR’s Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant triggered the world’s worst radiological crisis. The events of that night are well documented – but history didn’t stop there. Chernobyl, as a place, remains very much alive today. In Chernobyl: A Stalkers’ Guide, researcher Darmon Richter journeys into the contemporary Exclusion Zone, venturing deeper than any previously published account. While thousands of foreign visitors congregate around a handful of curated sites, beyond the tourist hotspots lies a wild and mysterious land the size of a small country. In the forests of Chernobyl, historic village settlements and Soviet-era utopianism have lain abandoned since the time of the disaster – overshadowed by vast, unearthly megastructures designed to win the Cold War. Richter combines photographs of discoveries made during his numerous visits to the Zone with the voices of those who witnessed history – engineers, scientists, police and evacuees. He explores evacuated regions in both Ukraine and Belarus, finding forgotten ghost towns and Soviet monuments lost deep in irradiated forests. He gains exclusive access inside the most secure areas of the power plant itself, and joins the ‘stalkers’ of Chernobyl as he sets out on a high-stakes illegal hike to the heart of the Exclusion Zone.

LONDON Patrick Keiller
A photography book of film stills and script from the critically acclaimed, psychogeographic film London, written and directed by Patrick Keiller, released in 1994
50
London is Patrick Keiller’s highly imaginative psychogeographic journey through (and history of) London, as undertaken by an unnamed narrator and his companion, Robinson. The unseen pair complete a series of excursions around the city, in an attempt to investigate what Robinson calls ‘the problem of London’; in so doing, the palimpsest of the city is revealed. London is a unique take on the essay-film format, with scathing reflections on the recent past, enlivened by offbeat humour and wide-ranging literary anecdotes. The amazing locations reveal the familiar London of the near past: Concorde almost touches suburban houses as it takes off; Union Jacks fly from Wembley Stadium’s Twin Towers and pigeons flock around tourists in Trafalgar Square. These images, in combination with the script, allow us to see beyond the London presented on the page. It is both a fascinating reflection on the diverse histories of Britain’s capital and an illuminating record of 1992, the year of John Major's re-election, IRA bombs and the first crack in the House of Windsor. The book is the first time the film has been fully reproduced in print and contains an introduction from the director.

A definitive and essential book about Cuban record cover art and design Also available 9780955481765
Cuba: Music and Revolution is the first ever book about Cuban record sleeve design and features hundreds of rarely ever seen vinyl records that were produced in Cuba from the start of the Cuban Revolution at the beginning of the 1960s up until 1991 when Cuba’s Special Period, brought about by the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The withdrawal of Russia’s financial support for the Cuban government led to many economic hardships including the demise of vinyl record manufacturing in Cuba. The artwork featured here stunningly reflects both the cultural and musical depth of Cuba. The political influence of revolutionary communism on the island manifests itself both in the music created and the artwork of the record designs included here. Generously illustrated with hundreds of colour images, Cuba: Music and Revolution presents the history of Cuban record cover art, including many examples previously unseen outside the island itself. From the extremes of preRevolution Cuba’s vibrant imagery to the covers of 1980s salsa and jazz albums, via the socialist realist and geometric abstract designs of the 1960s and the folkloric Afro-Cuban roots styles of the 1970s, this volume of Cuban record cover art traces a musical form in an almost constant state of revolution. The book is compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker who together compiled two more large format record design books: Freedom, Rhythm and Sound - Revolutionary Jazz Cover Art and, Bossa Nova and the Rise of Brazilian Music - Original Cover Art.

After years at the tippy-top of the fashion world – modelling haute couture and starring in ad campaigns for the most exclusive fashion houses – GingerNutz, the naïve Bornean orangutan turned fashion’s darling, is itching for a new adventure. In GingerNutz in Full Bloom: From Supermodel Orangutan to Style Icon and Beyond, our fashionable heroine segues from being the Vogue cover girl to the one who decides what the cover girl will wear and how she will wear it. As Vogue’s first orangutan fashion stylist, she selects from the most delectable garments and travels the world to direct the edgiest fashion shoots with top photographers. But this jet-set lifestyle, even with luxuries like suites at the Ritz and room service banana-beetle smoothies, begins to wear on her. GingerNutz decides that she absolutely must find a suitable country cottage to which she can retire and pursue proper English pastimes like gardening and tending to a menagerie of farm animals (with whom she feels quite at home). Before she settles into obscurity, though, she will enjoy one last flourish of the royal treatment…

The Little Mermaid
Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Little Mermaid (1839), a story about a girl from the sea who followed her dreams and suffered a disastrous fate on land, is known all over the world (particularly in its animated incarnation). But the familiar story is brought to new life in this gorgeous edition, a collaboration between the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and artist Yayoi Kusama. Paired with Hans Christian Andersen’s original text, the densely patterned, undulating line drawings of Kusama’s Love Forever series (2004–7) conjure up storms in the roiling waves of the ocean, the Little Mermaid’s vast underwater kingdom and her longing to live in the human world. Kusama’s fertile, endlessly repeating forms are an ideal match for the poetic and disturbing universe evoked in the fairy tale; the result is a true collaboration. Kusama’s drawings both illustrate and interpret Andersen’s story, bringing it to terrifying life, and Andersen’s words lend narrative content to Kusama’s landscapes of unblinking eyes, curling tendrils and disembodied profiles.
A Fairy Tale of Infinity and Love Forever
Yayoi Kusama's oeuvre, now spanning more than 50 years, includes painting, performance, installations and environments, sculpture, film, fashion, design and literary work. She was named the world’s most popular artist, based on annual figures for global museum attendance.

Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies
Lafayette Park, a middle-class residential area in downtown Detroit, is home to the largest collection of buildings designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the world. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, it remained one of Detroit's most racially integrated and economically stable neighbourhoods, although it was surrounded by evidence of a city in financial distress. Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies was originally published in 2012, two years before the city of Detroit entered into the largest municipal bankruptcy in the country. The 2019 edition of Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies includes a revised introduction and two new texts by Lafayette Park residents, and authors, Marsha Music and Matthew Piper. Music and Piper reflect on the changes the neighbourhood underwent between 2012 and 2018, when the city went through and emerged from bankruptcy and entered into a new phase, as a desirable place for real estate investment.

North Korea Photographs by Stéphan Gladieu; Text by Patrick Maurus
A unique photographic portrait of the people of North Korea
54
After half a century of existence, North Korea is one of the most hated countries in the world, but also one of the most overlooked. Obviously, the radicality of this paradox hides a reality more complex than what we are given to see: war, famine, dissidents, the nuclear program, and military parades... Monitored, supervised, accompanied step by step; throughout his stay in North Korea, Stéphan Gladieu invents a space of freedom within the framework that is imposed on him. The existence of this photographic series depends intimately on the relationship that the photographer has managed to establish with his hosts. By choosing the portrait-mirror, often framed with a foot, which requires a frontal pose and a direct look, Stéphan Gladieu got closer to the propaganda image and made his approach, if not familiar, at least understandable to North Koreans. This series will no doubt partially send us back our representation, but it may also allow us to see the North Koreans through their own eyes.

American Solitudes Photographs and text by JeanLuc Bertini; Foreward by Richard Ford; Afterword by Gilles Mora
French photographer Jean-Luc Bertini encounters America with a humanist approach inspired by the French tradition, and offers a fresh vision of the American expanses
For 10 years, Jean-Luc Bertini traveled the length and breadth of the United States and, when the desire seized him, took photographs. Due to the profusion of photographic studies of America, his work might seem to have little to add to the subject, but with American Solitudes, he photographed the country and it’s inhabitants as he thought he saw them, and as Walker Evans said, “the secret of photography lies in the fact that the camera takes on the character and personality of the one who handles it”, which questions his own vision of America and its people. In his preface, Richard Ford focuses on the physiognomies of solitude in the country. “Looking at his work, we build up an idea of the unique character of American solitudes, in non-binary terms, in which what is ours does not only belong to us.”

Robert Ryman was one of the main figures of minimalist painting. He taught himself to paint. In 1953, he took up employment as a museum guard at the Museum of Modern Art, like other artists of his generation – Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Dan Flavin, and the art critic Lucy Lippard – all driven by a deep desire to revolutionise art. In the rooms of the MoMA, he immersed himself in the beautiful, radical works of the great modernists: Malevitch, Rothko, Mondrian, and Matisse above all. In a career spanning 60 years, Robert Ryman relentlessly sought out the very essence of painting and the emotion he felt in contact with it.

A new structure within the context of the 2020 Venice Biennale’s theme ‘How will we live together?’, the Majlis brings together an international array of individuals, cultural influences and artisanal skills
Before opening its seasonal Art Village in the Qatari Desert, the Caravane Foundation brings the first of its eight principal structures, the Majlis, to the re-designed wild-flower garden of the Abbazia di San Giorgio Maggiore at the 2020 Venice Biennale. Inspired by nomadic architecture, the Majlis is made from the most renewable building material on earth – bamboo – and shrouded in textiles handwoven in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Traditionally, a majlis is the place where people come together to deepen their connection with each other. In this case, it will help to reflect on the Biennale theme: How will we live together? In recognition of its cultural significance in the Arabian Peninsula, the majlis is inscribed on UNESCO’s ‘Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’. This intervention explores the careful sourcing of materials, ethical processes of production and the legacy of the Majlis. The Foundation, with its international array of individuals and in dialogue with the Benedictine community, aims to restore a collective awareness of the sacred interconnectivity between humans, culture and nature through craftsmanship, art, innovation, agriculture and education.

Architect and writer Grigory Barkhin (1880-1969) was one of the most significant figures in Soviet architecture. With Roman Klein he designed the Neoclassical interiors for the Puskhin Museum in Moscow, but it is for his contribution to modernist architecture that he is best known, in particular the iconic Constructivist Izvestia building in Moscow. In the early 1920s he published two key books on residential architecture for workers. Before the war he worked on the General Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow (1933-37) and later helped to formulate the design for the reconstruction of Sevastopol (1944-47).

In the 1930s Grigory Barkhin became particularly interested in theatre architecture, and this culminated in the publication in 1947 of a two-volume work, Architecture of the Theatre. This was the most comprehensive and deeply researched study of theatre architecture of the time. The first volume follows a historical timeline, from early classical theatres to some of Europe's national treasures – La Scala, Opéra Garnier, Vienna State Opera – and the development of theatre architecture in the Russian Empire. The second half of the book is devoted entirely to Soviet theatre architecture of the pre-war period, in particular the five-star design of the Red Army theatre in Moscow, and competition projects for theatres in Rostov-on-Don, Sverdlovsk and Minsk, which Barkhin himself designed with his son Mikhail. These projects can be seen as the cornerstone of the development of Soviet architecture of the time. In this remarkable book, published here in English for the first time, Barkhin sets out a blueprint for architecture that combines an understanding of the subject with a bold and uncompromising vision.

Russian Made Clear The Essential Course for Beginners Vera Adian and Frank Althaus
A new Russian textbook for beginners. Proven effective over several years, now completely redesigned and updated, Russian Made Clear aims to become the dominant Russian course for beginners
Russian Made Clear is a new book for beginners. It introduces practical language in a strictly logical order. Explanations are clear and concise, based on the principle that grammar should be treated as a means towards accurate and effective communication, not as a theoretical discipline. Russian Made Clear has been developed over many years of successful practice with individual and group students at the Russian Language Centre, the UK’s leading centre for adult Russian studies. Audio recordings of all texts and dialogues are available to download from the Russian Language Centre’s website, along with a library of supplementary interactive exercises. Russian Made Clear takes students comfortably beyond CEFR Level A1 (TRKI Elementary Level). Although written with adults in mind, the book works equally well with older school and university students. Throughout the book, academic rigour is combined with wit and a sense of humour, and each lesson ends with a chapter from the story of the hapless icon expert Peter Munroe, as he becomes unwittingly caught up in a tale of romance, men in suits and forged artworks. Russian Made Clear is practical, enjoyable and easy to use. Most importantly – it works.

Elin Berge: Awakening Elin Berge
Awakening is an intimate documentation of a loosely compound, leaderless, and separatist spiritual awakening movement taking shape. Elin Berge has taken part in different kinds of spiritual women’s circles in Sweden, to capture their people and rituals firsthand. The women she photographs believe in the return of “the original Goddess”, a divine feminine essence that is calling women from inside their own bodies. This global movement believes the awakened divine feminine is going to make women rise all over the world to lead humanity into a new paradigm with a sustainable future and a peaceful, balanced world. The photographs show women giving in to their spirituality in rituals, seeking comfort with each other in sisterhood and making efforts to own their bodies and sexualities. The work opens up a dialogue about religion and belief in secular Sweden. Furthermore, it deals with questions on gender equality and the sisterhood rising all over the world at the moment, most recently the #metoo movement on social media.

Joakim Kocjancic: Europea Joakim Kocjancic
In the beginning, humans migrated from Africa to the landmass we now call Europe. However, it would take a further 37,000 years for the first European borders to take shape. Photographer Joakim Kojancic has a hard time accepting theses borders and has for the last two decades been travelling across the continent searching for an identity that is not limited by these borders. He sees the people that he depicts as a part of himself, of his identity, and feels that we’re all a part of each other. His extensive travels have made these cities blend together into one metropolis, dissolving borders and shifting the focus onto the human condition. With his black-and-white images he tries to arrange and create a balance in the fast-paced urban life – and at the same time creates an inner reality in the borderland between dreams and reality. Europea is a homage to people and to the unusual in the everyday. Joakim Kocjancic was born in Milan with a Swedish mother and Italian father. His surname is of Slovenian origin and he has lived in a number of European cities and speaks several European languages. He shares a studio with Swedish photographer Anders Petersen and has had a number of exhibitions in Berlin, Paris, Milan and Stockholm.

Night Pharmacy D’Innocenzo Brothers
Imaging Failure The Abandoned Lives of the Italian South Photographs by Steven Seidenberg; Edited by Carolyn L. White
Contrasto
Night Pharmacy is the first photo book by Fabio and Damiano D’Innocenzo. The book is a beautiful, fun and surreal conversation on photography, which illustrates their hunger to see, and their need to express themselves through any language. Night Pharmacy retraces childhood memories, events or distant experiences, as if the twin brothers had already taken notes, in the form of an extremely ironic and spontaneous dialogue. Leafing through the pages of the book, the conversation reveals their concept of photography, while they tell their life stories, underlining the differences between the brothers. Fabio and Damiano D’Innocenzo are twin brothers. They are directors of the debut film La Terra dell’abbastanza, winners of the Nastro D’Argento award in 2018, and winners of the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay, in competition at the 2020 Berlinale Festival. They published the collection of poems My mother is a weapon. Photography 80 illustrations 23.0 x 17.0cm 96pp ISBN 9788869658136 July £22.00
During reconstruction of the Italian economy following World War II, the newly established Italian republic and its American allies implemented a program of land reform, the Riforma Fondiaria, which ran from 1950 to 1972. The Italian state attempted to inhibit the popularity of the communist party by appropriating some of their policies. Two extensive reform laws initiated a redistribution of land that had profound effects across Italy. Nearly fifty years later, what became a spectacular disaster for the people and a bonanza for the state has left its physical evidence scattered across the countryside. In 2017, Steven Seidenberg and Carolyn White began a project to document the contemporary remains of the Riforma. Seidenberg’s richly detailed photographs capture the houses, the outbuildings, the interiors, and the exteriors in a hauntingly beautiful manner, drawing attention to the lives that were strung along through the reform process – places where people moved to live better lives; where the place was so intolerable that it had to be abandoned again. Steven Seidenberg is an artist and writer. Carolyn L. White is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Secret Places The architect’s guide to distinctive buildings in and around Copenhagen Marie-Louise Høstbo
Copenhagen is home to a wealth of marvellous, yet oft-overlooked buildings. With her book Secret Places, architect Marie-Louise Høstbo wishes to expand the readers’ horizons, inspiring them to go and explore fifty special buildings in and around the Danish capital. All of them are distinctive places that are sure to surprise, engage and challenge visitors. The book features examples of Danish architecture ranging from Arne Jacobsen’s pavilion in Enghaveparken, to the Tårnby City Hall, and onwards to Kindt-Larsen’s delightful summer residence at Hornbæk. Selected details and points of view call forth connections that cut across time, style and place, opening new vistas for lovers of architecture and changing how they see the city. Because architecture must be sensed. It must be seen and touched. Through words and pictures, the book guides international travellers and native Copenhageners to the hidden treasures of the city – including trips outside the capital itself. Marie-Louise Høstbo is an architect, MAA, and for many years has worked as an aesthetic and creative adviser in photography, design and architecture.

Face to Face Thorvaldsen and Portraiture Edited by Kristine Bøggild Johannsen and Jane Fejfer
66
Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844) was one of Europe’s most popular portrait artists. Over the course of his lifetime, he created approximately 160 portraits, ranging from members of Europe’s royal houses to leading cultural figures to ordinary Danes. Thorvaldsen’s portraits thus make up the biggest single category of artworks in his oeuvre. In former times, such sculptural portraits were a common phenomenon. So what happened? Why did they go out of fashion? These are some of the questions that this book seeks to illuminate. The book contains essays and articles by 42 authors, amongst them Whitney Davis, Malcolm Baker, Grant Parker, Ulrich Pfisterer, Rolf Schneider, Peter Fibiger Bang, Tim Flohr Sørensen, and Jane Fejfer. Jane Fejfer is a classical archaeologist and associate professor in the Archaeology Department of the Saxo Institute at the University of Copenhagen. Kristine Bøggild Johannsen is a classical archaeologist and museum curator at Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen. Art 160 illustrations 32.0 x 24.0cm 304pp ISBN 9788792596826 July £40.00

Lisbon Sketchbook
For a long while, Lisbon was a sleeping beauty. From its heyday in the 15th and 16th centuries, rooted in the Age of Discovery, to the end of Salazar’s dictatorial regime in 1974, the city lived at a slower pace than the rest of Europe. With its nomination as European Cultural Capital in 1994, it suddenly found itself in the spotlight. Thanks to fortunes amassed during the Age of Discovery, and in spite of the terrible earthquake of 1755, the Portuguese capital has a rich and varied architectural heritage. Every hilltop bears a castle or church, its slopes criss-crossed with networks of steep alleyways bordered with small colourful houses, while the slightest expanse of flat ground allows Baroque and Classical edifices to prosper. Even the banks of the Tagus are now home to world class contemporary architecture. At a time when Lisbon’s population and socioeconomic fabric is undergoing major transformations, Gonçalo Tavares and Fabrice Moireau have captured the city’s atmosphere and essence, restoring its timeless magic, its unfailing charm and its unrestrained modernity. Fabrice Moireau sketchbookss are authentic records of his frequent travels. Gonçalo Manuel Tavares is a Portuguese writer. Travel 120 Illustrations 24.4 x 28.0cm 92pp ISBN 9789814610827 July £24.95
