Grayson’s Art Club: The Exhibition Grayson Perry, Swan Films and Manchester Art Gallery

The catalogue to coincide with the exhibition of works selected by artist Grayson Perry during Grayson’s Art Club, the popular Channel 4 TV series made by Swan Films, broadcast during the 2020 lockdown

During lockdown, Grayson Perry, one of Britain's foremost artists, brought the nation together through art, helping them to unleash their creativity as part of his Channel 4 TV series. Every week he hosted the show from his own studio – taking the country with him as he created his own new art works. Grayson and his wife Philippa talked to other famous artists and creatives about how they were spending their time in isolation and invited them to make their own works in response to this unprecedented crisis. Each week a different theme – portraits, animals, fantasy, view from my window, home, Britain – was explored. A key element of the series was Grayson asking members of the public to send him their own artworks which they had been making at home, talking to them via video calls and choosing his favourite artworks. He received nearly 10,000 entries, an overwhelming response to his call out. The variety of entries – using canvas, paper, photography, sculpture and mixed media – showed the imagination, skill and creativity of the nation. These works, alongside those of Grayson Perry, Philippa Perry and the invited artists and celebrities, are collected here to catalogue the exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery.

Nero Thorsten Opper

Reassesses the life of Nero, providing insight into Roman society under his rule, and challenging the preconceptions of a figure often dismissed as tyrannical and ineffectual

One of the best known figures from Roman history, Nero (r. ad 54–68) is often characterised as a tyrannical and ineffectual ruler, who fiddled while Rome burned. This reputation has been shaped by ancient literary sources written by his adversaries and enemies and, in light of new research, can be considered crudely reductive. This publication redresses the balance and provides a more nuanced interpretation of Nero’s reign and Roman society of the time. The period during which Nero ruled was one of profound change. The extent of the empire at the time was vast, having grown significantly through conquest and annexation, and peace and prosperity followed years of bloody war. The role of Nero’s mother Agrippina in his accession to the throne is well documented, but her expectations of great influence once Nero was in post were not met and the role of women, and family, is considered in detail in this book. Nero had to confront the threat of rival powers and the assimilation of newly conquered territories, which provided him with the opportunity to prove himself as a strong military leader. Alongside military campaigns, he adopted ‘populist’ policies and was preoccupied with the beautification of his empire, which was subsequently devastated by fire. Nero’s rule was curtailed by military rebellion in ad 68 and he ultimately committed suicide. His death brought to an end the reign of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, and the subsequent vilification of his memory and the removal and desecration of his image are an enduring, but misleading, legacy.

Thomas Becket: murder and the making of a saint Lloyd de Beer, Naomi Speakman

Marking the 850th anniversary of his dramatic murder, this major exhibition and book presents Becket’s tumultuous journey from a London merchant’s son to Archbishop of Canterbury, and from a revered saint in death to a ‘traitor’ in the eyes of Henry VIII over 350 years later

The British Museum

Lloyd de Beer is Ferguson Curator of Medieval Britain and Europe at the British Museum and co-curator of the exhibition Thomas Becket: murder and the making of a saint. Naomi Speakman is Curator of Late Medieval Europe at the British Museum and co-curator of the exhibition Thomas Becket: murder and the making of a saint.

The assassination of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170 changed the course of history. Becket was one of the most powerful figures of his time, serving as royal Chancellor and later as Archbishop of Canterbury. Initially a close friend of King Henry II, the two men became engaged in a bitter dispute that culminated in Becket’s shocking murder by knights with close ties to the king. Featuring an incredible array of objects associated with Becket, including medieval stained glass, manuscripts, jewellery and sacred reliquaries, Thomas Becket: murder and the making of a saint explores his dramatic life, death and legacy. This unique and fascinating story reveals the political and religious landscape of medieval Europe, demonstrating the power of belief and the formation and endurance of his cult. In death Becket remained a figure of opposition to power and came to be seen as a defender of rights of the Church. An extraordinary number of miracles were recorded in the immediate aftermath of his death, leading to his rapid canonisation and the development of his cult. A dedicated section will delve deeper into the Miracle Windows of stained glass from Canterbury Cathedral. Here, new research examines the creative complexity of the windows, shedding light on the recent discoveries that led to the re- evaluation of some of the panels, which were previously thought to be modern replacements.

Icons and Identities Rab MacGibbon

Drawing on the National Portrait Gallery's exceptional collections, this book explores the variety and complexity of portraiture down the ages

The National Portrait Gallery holds the world’s most extensive collection of portraits: a museum of people, a gallery of stories and ideas, and a home of artistic masterpieces. It celebrates the power and creativity of individuals – artists as well as their sitters. Icons and Identities draws upon the outstanding collections of the National Portrait Gallery to investigate and celebrate the variety and complexity of the genre. It draws together ‘icons’ – the most famous faces from British history from Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Isaac Newton to Audrey Hepburn and The Beatles – alongside less wellknown sitters that provide a fascinating insight into the representation of identity in portraits. It also includes some intriguing surprises to reflect the diversity of the National Portrait Gallery’s collection and to introduce audiences around the world to exceptional portraits of many kinds. This publication will show how artists, working across a range of media including painting, photography and multimedia, have revealed the visually stimulating and intellectually vibrant tradition of portrait making. It is structured around a series of key timeless themes and each section will include a selection of works from a range of periods, allowing audiences to consider how artists and sitters have engaged with themes of power, fame, the self, innovation, identity, memory and loss.

The Bloomsbury Group Frances Spalding

Frances Spalding presents twenty biographies of the iconoclasts at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group, illustrated with paintings and intimate photographs created by its members

National Portrait Gallery

Frances Spalding is a leading authority on Bloomsbury, and has written biographies of Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. For ten years, she edited The Charleston Magazine and has lectured widely on aspects of Bloomsbury. She is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Art, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Emeritus Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge.

The most constructive and creative influence on English taste between the two wars, ‘The Bloomsbury Group’ was a union of friends who transformed British culture with their approach to art, design and society. The Group began the twentieth century with a desire to rebel and challenge what they felt were the religious, artistic, social and sexual taboos of Victorian England. Together they created a revolution in British style that resonates with contemporary painters, writers, actors, designers, fashion editors and publishers. This book explores the impact of Bloomsbury personalities on each other, as well as their legacy to the twenty-first century. Author Frances Spalding demonstrates how this network of artists, lovers and patrons recorded one another obsessively in both words and images. She presents twenty fascinating biographies, all of which are illustrated with paintings and intimate photographs created by members of the Group. Highlighted in her revealing account are: Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Vanessa and Clive Bell, Duncan Grant, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Roger Fry, J.M. Keynes, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington.

Charlotte Perriand Edited by Justin McGuirk

A long-awaited survey on Charlotte Perriand, pioneer of European modernism and one of the most influential designers and architects of the twentieth century

Charlotte Perriand was one of great designers of the twentieth century. A pioneer of modernism, her work was often overshadowed by her more famous male collaborators, who included Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Jean Prouvé. However, in recent years her reputation as a furniture designer and architect has matched the stature of her peers – her furniture in particular has become highly prized by collectors. From the 1920s onwards, Perriand was instrumental in bringing the modernist aesthetic to interiors. But she also believed in the synthesis of the arts and was friends with visual artists such as Pablo Picasso and Fernand Léger. This book will explore Perriand’s journey from the machine aesthetic to her adoption of natural forms, and from modular furniture systems to major architectural projects such as Les Arcs ski resort. Featuring some of her most famous interiors, as well as her original furniture, her photography and her personal notebooks, this book sheds new light on Perriand’s creative process and her place in design history. It will accompany the forthcoming Design Museum exhibition of the same title, which will coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Perriand’s last significant presentation in London, held at the Design Museum in 1996.

Cézanne: The Drawings Edited with text by Jodi Hauptman and Samantha Friedman; Text by Kiko Aebi, Annemarie Iker, Laura Neufeld

The first major exhibition and publication to present drawings from across Cézanne’s entire career, tracing the development of his practice on paper rather than focusing on single genres or specific themes

Although he is most often celebrated as a painter, Paul Cézanne’s extraordinary vision was fuelled by his experiments on paper. In pencil and watercolour, on individual sheets and across the pages of sketchbooks, the artist described form through multiple probing lines; realized compositions through repetitions and transformations; and conjured kaleidoscopic colour through laborious layering of watercolour. It is in these material realities of drawing where we see Cézanne at his most modern: embracing the unfinished, making process visible, and actively inviting the viewer to participate in the act of perception. To date, exhibitions devoted to Cézanne have tended to focus on a single genre, a specific theme, or an isolated moment within the artist’s oeuvre. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this is the first major effort to unite drawings from across Cézanne’s entire career, tracing the development of his practice on paper, exploring working methods that transcend subject, and devoting research to conservation as well as curatorial fronts.

Charlotte Healy is Research Assistant in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Over the course of her almost three-decade-long career, Sophie Taeuber-Arp worked as a designer of textiles, beadwork, costumes, furniture, and interiors, as well as an applied arts professor, dancer, puppet maker, architect, painter, sculptor, illustrator, and magazine editor. Through her exceptionally diverse artistic output and various professional alliances, Taeuber-Arp consistently challenged the historically constructed boundaries separating art, craft, and design. Published in conjunction with the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arp’s work in the United States in nearly forty years, and the first-ever retrospective in the United Kingdom, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction is the most comprehensive survey of this multifaceted abstract artist’s innovative and wide-ranging body of work. The catalogue explores the artist’s interdisciplinary and cross-pollinating approach to abstraction through some 400 works, including textiles, beadwork, polychrome marionettes, architectural and interior designs, stained glass windows, works on paper, paintings, and relief sculptures. Essays by curators and scholars examine the full sweep of Taeuber-Arp’s career, outlining the scope of her creative production at different points in time. A comprehensive illustrated chronology, the first essay published on Taeuber-Arp’s materials and techniques, and a scholarly exhibition checklist based on new research and analysis detail the expansive nature of Taeuber-Arp’s production.

Alexander Calder: Modern from the Start By Cara Manes, with reprinted texts by Alexander Calder

A focused look at one of the most well-known and beloved artists of the 20th century through the lens of his relationship with MoMA

One of the most beloved American artists of the last century, Alexander Calder reimagined sculpture as an experiment in space and motion. He upended centuriesold notions that sculpture should be static, grounded, and dense by making artworks that often move freely, interacting with their surroundings. Calder’s everchanging artworks invite a viewer’s sustained attention; over the course of many decades, The Museum of Modern Art provided a setting for this productive exchange. Alexander Calder: Modern from the Start looks at Calder’s work through the lens of his connection with MoMA, taking as a point of departure the idea that Calder assumed the unofficial role of the Museum’s “house artist” during its formative years. His work was first exhibited at MoMA in 1930, months after the institution opened its doors, and he was among only a handful of artists selected by the Museum’s founding director, Alfred H. Barr Jr., for inclusion in his two landmark 1936 exhibitions, Cubism and Abstract Art and Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism. He was called upon to produce several commissioned works – including Lobster Trap and Fish Tail, a multi-coloured mobile that hangs in the same stairwell for which it was made in 1939 – and his sculptures have been a mainstay of the Museum’s galleries and Sculpture Garden ever since. Following a loose chronology, the catalogue presents examples from the full scope of Calder’s work, from the earliest wire sculptures of the 1920s through the largescale mono- and polychrome stabiles and standing mobiles of his later years.

Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704) was an English journalist and pamphleteer from the seventeenth century. Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was an American artist best known for his mobile and wire sculptures and colourful paintings.

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

Alexander Calder is known predominantly for his wire sculptures and mobiles, but his practice also included blackand-white line illustrations. Fables of Aesop showcases Calder’s playful engagement with the texts of the famous storyteller. Originally published in 1931 by Monroe Wheeler and Barbara Harrison in a limited edition of just 665 copies, the publication features over 200 of Sir Roger L’Estrange’s retelling of the traditional fables, dated 1692, paired with 50 lively drawings by Calder. Readers will recognize such classics as “A Hare and a Tortoise,” “A Young Man and a Swallow,” and “City Mouse and Country Mouse.” Both parents and children will delight in this beautiful facsimile of the original edition of Fables of Aesop.

Although best known for his kinetic sculptures and mobiles, Alexander Calder also executed a range of black andwhite illustrations throughout his career. Using the same simplicity and playfulness of his sculptures, Calder created 85 drawings for Three Young Rats and Other Rhymes, a collection of children’s rhymes and tales selected by curator James Johnson Sweeney, who introduces the publication with a brief history of children’s tales and folklore. Cheekily cautioned to be “for adult readers only,” Three Young Rats and Other Rhymes was originally published in 1944 and is among the most delightful illustrated books of the twentieth century. This facsimile brings back into a print a smaller format edition to coincide with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art that illuminates Calder’s enduring relationship with the institution. James Johnson Sweeney (1900-1986) was a curator at The Museum of Modern Art from 1935 to 1946.

Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography and the FotoCine Clube Bandeirante, 1946-1964 Edited with text by Sarah Hermanson Meister

Introduces Brazilian modernist photography to an international audience, presenting unknown yet unforgettable work within a complex context of race, gender, geography, and the status of the amateur

Now more than 175 years after photography’s invention, it is rare to discover a significant chapter of its history that is essentially unknown to European and North American audiences. São Paulo’s Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB) is widely heralded in Brazil, but almost invisible to photography enthusiasts elsewhere. Historically their achievements were well known to the international circuit of salons in which they participated, including Otto Steinert and his fellow “Subjective” photographers in Germany and the Société Française de la Photographie in Paris. Nonetheless, to date not a single American institution owns vintage photographs by anyone other than Geraldo de Barros. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this publication assembles a robust selection of photographs to introduce the FCCB’s ground-breaking photographic experiments to a wider audience. Six thematic chapters highlight individual achievements as well as the breadth of the club’s membership, transforming the history of photography as we know it and connecting with contemporary Brazilian painting and São Paulo’s then-newly-formed museums of modern art. This is the first non-Portuguese language publication to grapple with these photographs.

An exploration of architecture, urbanism, Blackness and anti–Black racism in the United States that reimagines how individuals and communities have mobilized Black cultural spaces, forms, and practices as sites of imagination, liberation, resistance, and refusal

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

Sean Anderson is Associate Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Mabel O. Wilson is the Nancy and George Rupp Professor in Architecture at Columbia University. Robin D. G. Kelley is Professor, Department of African American Studies, Distinguished Professor of History & Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in United States History at the University of California, Los Angeles.

During The Museum of Modern Art’s 90-year history, African American architects and designers have had little to no purchase in its permanent collection and exhibition histories, reflective of larger trends in museum and architectural discourses at large. The exclusion of Black architects and designers from the academic imagination have largely been waylaid in favour of dominant formalist and stylistic concerns. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at MoMA, this publication examines how contemporary architecture may address the systemic anti-Black racism that has fostered violent histories of discrimination and injustice in the United States. The contributors reimagine the legacies of race-based dispossession in ten American cities – Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Nashville, TN; New Orleans, LA; Brooklyn, NY; Oakland, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; Kinloch, MO; and Syracuse, NY – and how individuals and communities across the US have mobilized Black cultural spaces, forms, and practices as sites of imagination, liberation, resistance, care, and refusal. Meant to serve as a “field guide” to the exhibition, the catalogue also includes scholarly essays by the curators, members of the advisory committee, and invited scholars, as well as a portfolio of new photographs by artist David Hartt.

Damien Hirst's new series of paintings, published here for the very first time to accompany their exhibition at the Fondation Carter pour l'art contemporain, Paris

In Spring 2021, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain will open an exhibition dedicated to Damien Hirst and his latest painting series, Cherry Blossoms. The series is a continuation of Hirst’s career-long exploration into the power of painting and the relationship between artist and the canvas, demonstrated in the Spot Paintings (1986–2011), Visual Candy (1993–1995), Colour Space Paintings (2016), and Veil Paintings (2017). Both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this new series marks the return of the artist in his own studio. Using a conceptual approach, Damien Hirst explores in Cherry Blossoms the questions of beauty, colour and excess in painting. Includes texts by Emanuele Coccia (Italian philosopher), Philippe Costamagna (French art historian), Michio Hayashi (Japanese art historian), Gilda Williams (American art historian), and an anthology of literary texts brought together by Alberto Manguel (Argentinian writer).

Luiz Zerbini: Botanica, Monotypes 2016-2020 Texts by Luiz Zerbini, Emanuele Coccia, Stefano Mancuso

300 monotypes by Luiz Zerbini celebrate the beauty, architecture and diversity of tropical flora as well as rare species of plants and flowers

Since 2016, the Brazilian artist Luiz Zerbini has devoted his time to the creation of monotypes. First from within the Instituto Inhotim in Minas Gerais, then the Estúdio Baren in Rio de Janeiro, the artist created unique prints obtained by a non-reproductible process. Leaves, flowers and branches, selected and collected for their contours, shapes and textures, are placed on a previously inked metal plate. A large sheet of paper covers the whole, the last necessary element for the realization of a monotype. While passing through the press the composition imagined by the artist is transferred to the sheet of paper, thus revealing amazing shapes and colors, between figuration and abstraction. Over four years, Luiz Zerbini created more than 300 monotypes, an exceptional series that the Fondation Cartier sought to bring together in a large format book. This exceptional plant repertoire is a reference for all nature lovers and fans of Luiz Zerbini’s work. Includes texts by Emanuele Coccia (Italian philosopher) and Stefano Mancuso (Italian biologist).

Sarah Sze, De nuit en jour / Night into Day Texts by Bruno Latour and Leanne Sacramone; Conversation between Sarah Sze and Jean Nouvel

A richly illustrated catalogue showcasing the sculptures American artist Sarah Sze has conceived for the Fondation Cartier, offering a deeper understanding of her creative process

Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, Paris

Born in 1969 in Boston, Sarah Sze gleans objects and images from worlds both physical and digital, collaging them into complex multimedia works that shift scale between microscopic observation and macroscopic perspective on the infinite. Including proliferating media such as sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, video, and installation, her body of work grapples with matters of entropy and temporality and addresses the precarious nature of materiality. Sze has held numerous solo exhibitions worldwide and represented the United States at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.

Twenty years after her first solo show at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, American artist Sarah Sze will present from October 24, 2020 to March 7, 2021 two new sculptural installations in the exhibition spaces of Jean Nouvel’s iconic building. Commissioned by the Fondation Cartier, these works will explore how the proliferation of images – printed in magazines, gleaned from the Web, intercepted from outer space – fundamentally changes our relation to physical objects, memories, and time. On the occasion of the exhibition, the Fondation Cartier will publish a richly illustrated catalogue designed in close collaboration with the artist, retracing the creation and presentation of these sculptures. An essay by philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour, a conversation between Sarah Sze and Jean Nouvel, and a text by the curator of the exhibition will offer a deeper understanding of these two works as well as of the creative process of the artist and of the references that are omnipresent in her work.

Fabric of a Nation American Quilt Stories Pamela A. Parmal, Jennifer M. Swope, Lauren D. Whitley; Preface by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

The diverse and sometimes hidden stories of the American experience told by quilts and bedcovers from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Pamela A. Parmal is the former Chair, and David and Roberta Logie Curator of Textile and Fashion Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Jennifer M. Swope is Assistant Curator of Textile and Fashion Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Lauren D. Whitley is the former Senior Curator of Textile and Fashion Arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

A mother stitches a few lines of prayer into a bedcover for her son serving in the Union army during the Civil War. A formerly enslaved African American woman creates a quilt populated by Biblical figures alongside celestial events. A quilted Lady Liberty, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln mark the resignation of Richard Nixon. These are just a few of the diverse and sometimes hidden stories of the American experience told by quilts and bedcovers from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Spanning more than four hundred years, the fiftyeight works of textile art in this book express the personal narratives of their makers and owners and connect to broader stories of global trade, immigration, industry, marginalization, and territorial and cultural expansion. Made by Americans of European, African, Native, and Hispanic heritage, these engaging works of art range from family heirlooms to acts of political protest, each with its own story to tell.

MFA Highlights: European Painting and Sculpture before 1800 Frederick Ilchman, Ronni Baer, Marietta Cambareri

Presents the best of the collection of early European painting and sculpture held by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Frederick Ilchman is Chair, and Mrs. Russell W. Baker Curator of Paintings for the Art of Europe at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Ronni Baer is Allen R. Adler, Class of 1967, Distinguished Curator and Lecturer at the Princeton University Art Museum. Marietta Cambareri is Senior Curator of European Sculpture, and Jetskalina H. Phillips Curator of Judaica at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The tremendous political, religious, and cultural changes that swept across Europe in the years from 1000 to 1800 fundamentally transformed the practices and purposes of painting and sculpture – from elaborately carved and gilded medieval Christian altars to Renaissance selfportraits touting the skill of the artist to eighteenth-century penetrating portraits in marble of the era’s leading thinkers. The one hundred highlights from the impressive European art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gathered here offer an accessible introduction to the story of art from the medieval period to the Enlightenment. Modern notions of art and artists, the art market, as well as the births of art history and the art museum as an institution, all trace their origins to Europe in these centuries, which produced work of fascinating variety and enduring beauty.

Magritte in 400 images Julie Waseige

An original, accessible and comprehensive guide to the ever-popular master Surrealist, René Magritte

Magritte in 400 images offers a selection of the most iconic paintings from the master Surrealist, René Magritte, along with a multitude of perhaps less well-known, but no less exciting jewels from his expansive oeuvre. The novel choice of works will surprise and delight the reader as they continue to uncover even more facets of the celebrated painter, from his gouaches to his painted bottles and much more. Spanning seven chapters, this book brings together the myriad aspects of Magritte’s pictorial vision. Beginning with his first forays into abstract painting in the 1920s, navigating his search for solace in his Sunlit Period, as well as his brittle période vache and moving on to his Surrealist masterpieces of the 1950s and 1960s, it gently guides the reader through Magritte’s world. Each chapter opens with a summary of the artistic stakes at play during that period and Magritte’s place in them, immersing the reader in the contemporary artistic milieu. The 400 reproductions of Magritte’s work are complemented by a unique selection of historical photographs. Alive with images and information, this compact gem is a must-have for all art enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

Chinese Photography Twentieth Century and Beyond Rongrong

A new and in-depth look at Chinese photography 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.

The Experimental Self: The Photography of Edvard Munch Patricia G. Berman, Tom Gunning and MaryClaire Pappas; Edited by Heidi Bale Amundsen

Discover Edvard Munch’s investigative and poetic photographic self portraits

I have an old camera with which I have taken countless photographs of myself. It often produces astonishing effects, Edvard Munch states in a 1930 interview. Someday when I am old and have nothing better to do than work on an autobiography, all my photographic self-portraits will see the light of day again. The autobiography was never realised, but the self-portraits have found their way to the pages of The Experimental Self. The Photography of Edvard Munch, which demonstrates the fundamentally experimental nature of the artist’s photographic practice. As a photographer, Munch embraced the freedom provided by the amateur position, and the unpredictable aspects of analogue photographic technology. By playfully approaching his own image in picture after picture, Munch extends his explorations of selfhood in other media through photography. The resulting photographs provide unique access to Munch’s radical artistic vision, which this book studies through essays by the eminent Patricia G. Berman, Tom Gunning and MaryClaire Pappas.

Between the Lines Critical Writings on Sean Scully – The Early Years Edited by Faye Fleming and Oscar Humphries. Introduction by Martin Gayford

A lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced collection of writings on one of today’s most important and best-loved abstract painters, covering the first three decades of his career

Sean Scully is one of the most important and celebrated painters of our age. For half a century, he has explored with unwavering determination the possibilities of the stripe, band, and block as abstract forms. With seemingly limitless invention, he has reconciled the aesthetic of pure minimalism with a more human and expressive approach in a quest to make meaning and content the central preoccupation of painting. In his words, he makes ‘abstract painting metaphorical, physical, sensual, emotional, and, above all, relational’. From the very beginning his work has received the attention of commentators who have been drawn by its seductive sensuality and constant inventiveness. This book collates the writings of some fifty international critics, curators, philosophers, and historians who have sought, from their own vantage points, to chart the unique and single-minded course that Scully followed in the first three decades of his career. Reflecting the astonishing variety of his compositions, each one identifies novel and different aspects in the work and discovers something new and fresh to say as it develops in unexpected and intriguing ways. Lavishly illustrated with all of Scully’s major paintings from the late 1960s to 1999, and with dozens of installation views, behind-the-scenes studio shots, and portraits of the artist, many published here for the first time, this collection provides a concise and accessible account of the early career of an artist as he set out to finally reconcile emotion and intellect in abstract painting.

Love Me or Leave Me Alone

Artists Heather and Ivan Morison and their studio have established an ambitious collaborative practice that transcends traditional divisions between art, architecture, theatre and activism. Their work is often performance-based and site-specific, existing as one-off events, social projects or large-scale installations and buildings in public spaces. In particular, they are known for their architectural structures that relate to ideas of escape, play, shelter and refuge, the transformation of the modern city, and the function of civic communities. Love Me or Leave Me Alone presents the past decade of Studio Morison’s practice, with an emphasis on their pavilions, escape vehicles and public art works. It shows how the artists engage with materials, histories, sites and processes, thought and commerce, to directly address the major societal questions of our time. Texts by curators Claire Doherty and Gavin Wade, detailed project descriptions, and contributions from their collaborators are accompanied by the duo’s own reflections on each work. Claire Doherty is the director of Arnolfini in Bristol, UK. Gavin Wade is an artist and curator and director of artist-run gallery space Eastside Projects in Birmingham, UK.

For more than eight decades, the British Council has sent British art abroad as ambitious acts of cultural dialogue with over a hundred countries, from Afghanistan to Zambia. Along the way it has amassed a distinctive and unique national art collection, comprising over 8500 pieces, ranging from painting, print and sculpture to film works, photography and craft by some of the most significant artistic talents of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It continues to acquire new art by emerging practitioners and to operate in new geographical territories using innovative methods of cultural engagement. Its works are on display in over 100 countries worldwide, and its exhibitions are seen by millions of people per year. Art without Frontiers follows the expectations made of visual arts in the work of the British Council since 1935 and explores key moments in its visual arts programme, and the development and use of the Collection, to examine what art can do for cultural relations in an ever-changing world.

Niki de Saint Phalle Edited by Caroline Ugelstad; Texts by Kimberly Lamm, Bjarne Melgaard, Camille Morineau, Martine Hoff Jensen; Foreword by Tone Hansen

A retrospective exhibition catalogue devoted to one of the 20th century's most pioneering artists

Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002) made a name for herself on the international art scene during the late 1950s and early 1960s and was a key figure in the new generation of young artists who, at the beginning of the 1960s, were redefining the boundaries of what an artwork could be. Saint Phalle had a clear sociopolitical agenda and feminist commitment throughout her career, and to an increasing degree, she worked in close dialogue with society and her audience, inviting them into monumental architectonic constructions in public settings. This catalogue, published to accompany the exhibition at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Norway, explores the different facets of this pioneering artist’s practices; her feminist commitment, her public art, her role as a muse for the fashion giant Dior, and her interest in film and theatre.

Dream Fourteen: Print portfolio by Julian Simmons and Sarah Lucas Julian Simmons

A specially commissioned and designed artist's book of 14 prints by Julian Simmons and Sarah Lucas, based on Lucas’ works first shown at the 2015 Venice Art Biennale

Dream Fourteen is the second collaboration of prints by Julian Simmons and Sarah Lucas to be exhibited at the Paul Stolper Gallery. The first body of work, HOOLIAN 2015, consisted primarily of Simmons' prints of Lucas’ sculptures, charting their genesis to the finished work. Dream Fourteen develops their collaborative experience, whereby Simmons photographed in situ, Lucas’ Muses, the set of portrait sculptures which she exhibited in the British Pavilion, 56th Venice International Art Biennale, Venice (2015). Simmons crops and re-composes the space surrounding the sculptures, filling the space with colour, a yellowy colour that references real things, custard, ice-cream, eggs, banana, sunshine, the same colour Lucas painted the interior Pavilion walls. As such the prints act as the photographic counterpoint to Lucas’ practice. There are 14 prints in the series, and each has a typically honest, descriptive Sarah Lucas title; for example Yoko Smoking Through Her Belly-Button (Low), A Very Stately Pauline and My Bum on the Bar Stool.

Grigory Barkhin (1880-1969) was born in Perm and trained as an architect at the Academy in St Petersburg. He designed residential and public buildings, as well as farms, villages and urban centres. But his overriding interest was in theatre architecture. Theatre projects included designs for Rostov-on-Don, Sverdlovsk and Minsk and in 1947 he published his authoritative work The Architecture of the Theatre. Before the war he worked on the General Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow (1933-37) and after the war helped to formulate the design for the reconstruction of Sevastopol (1944-47).

Volume 2 describes in detail the designs for Soviet theatres that were prepared for competitions all over the country, some of which were implemented but many of which are little known. Projects by the Vesnin brothers, Barkhin himself (with his son Mikhail), Moisei Ginzburg, and other architects, are shown through the eyes of the architect-author, himself immersed in the task of re-designing and building theatres in the aftermath of the war.

Ensamble Studio is a cross-functional team founded in 2000, led by architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa. Balancing imagination and reality, art and science, their work innovates typologies, technologies and methodologies to address issues as diverse as the construction of the landscape or the prefabrication of the house. From their early works: SGAE Headquarters, Hemeroscopium House or The Truffle in Spain, to their most recent: Ensamble Fábrica in Madrid and Ca’n Terra in Menorca, Spain, every project makes space for experimentation aiming to advance their field. Currently, through their start-up WoHo, they are invested in increasing the quality of architecture while making it more affordable by integrating offsite technologies. Their new research and fabrication facility in Madrid, Ensamble Fábrica, has been built to support this endeavour. Together they are committed to sharing ideas and cultivating synergies between professional and academic worlds through teaching lecturing and research: she is Ventulett Chair in Architectural Design at Georgia Tech and he is a Professor at MIT, where they co-founded the POPlab – Prototypes of Prefabrication Laboratory– in 2012.

For the first time, Hilma af Klint’s works have been collected in a Catalogue Raisonné, comprising seven volumes. This volume, the fourth, focuses on her two series, Parsifal and the Atom, and how Klint interpreted the messages she had previously received. In Parsifal she explored humanity’s different levels of experience through a boy and girl’s journey to maturity and their similar progress. Klint was symbolically illustrating man’s development of consciousness. In the Atom series, af Klint explored the foundation of reality beyond the immediate impressions of the mind.

A reprint of the original publication first published in 1989 in collaboration with The Hilma af Klint Foundation which also served as the exhibition catalogue for the exhibition at Moderna Museet, Stockholm

Today, Hilma af Klint is regarded as one of the pioneers of Abstract Art. Klint painted more than 1,200 works before her death in 1944, but they were never displayed outside her anthropological and occult circles. After twenty years of artistry she developed a distinct abstract style and devoted the rest of her life to a grand painterly mission. The spiritual aspect was the most important starting point for Hilma af Klint, just as it was for her contemporaries Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian. These early modernists were influenced by the then contemporary occult writers like Madame Blavatsky, Annie Besant, C.W. Leadbeater and, of course, af Klint’s spiritual leader Rudolf Steiner.

Axel Törneman A Pioneer of Modernism Anita Theorell

The definitive monograph on one of the most important pioneers of Swedish art, Axel Törneman

Axel Törneman (1880–1925) was one of Sweden's earliest modernist painters. He grew to work in several modernist styles, was one of the first Swedish expressionist artists, and became a part of the international avant-garde in art after embracing more abstract art styles in Germany and France that were evolving there during the early 1900s. He created his most famous paintings, Night Café I and II, and Trait, in France in 1905. These night café paintings, made from studies in the Place Pigalle, and in other nightclubs popular with artists of the time are seen as two of Swedish modernism's most important works, and are considered breakthrough works. He went on to paint murals and decorations in public buildings around Stockholm, most notably his large frescos in Stockholm City Hall. Nonetheless, few people today have heard of him. He pursued his own path, consciously choosing not to belong to any artistic group or coterie. This may also explain his relative anonymity. This, the first monograph on Törneman, includes a large number of his lesser known paintings as well as previously unpublished material, including photographs and drawings. It celebrates an intense, bold, headstrong artist whose life was far too short, but steeped in creativity and drama.

Mawson: The Art and Craft of Garden Making Tomas H. Mawson

A facsimile edition of master landscape designer Thomas Mawson's classic book on English gardens

In 1901, Thomas Mawson (1861–1933) published The Art and Craft of Garden Making, now regarded as the foundation of modern landscape architecture. It featured topics such as The Practice of Garden Design, The Choice of a Site and Its Treatment, Terraces and Terrace Gardens and Flower Gardens, Beds, and Borders. It also revealed Mawson's inspiration, and gave a name to the style of work achieved by Edwin Lutyens & Gertrude Jekyll. Mawson was a prolific and influential designer who became the first president of the Institute of Landscape Architects (now Landscape Institute) in 1929. His design practice, based in the Lake District's Windermere, prospered owing both to a wealthy clientele – brought to the area by the railway network – and to his obvious design talent, which blended architecture and horticulture. Thomas’s reputation grew with numerous commissions throughout Britain, including Graythwaite Hall, Langdale Chase, Holehird, Brockhole, Holker Hall and at Rydal Hall. HIs overseas projects included the ‘Palace of Peace’ gardens at the Hague (1908), and the development of the Smokey Mountains National Park, America.

Machines de ville François Delaroziere, Philippe Dossal; Preface by David Mangin

A magnificent showcase of François Delarozière's marvellous machines

For many years now the company La Machine has been creating shows featuring fascinating giant machines, which delight huge audiences of young and old alike in the cities of France and around the world. Gradually, these performing machines have become permanent installations in cities around France, an integral and integrated feature of urban development. Through four emblematic projects in Nantes, La Roche-sur-Yon, Toulouse and Calais, François Delarozière demonstrates how the elegant dynamics of this mechanical bestiary relates to space and to human performers. He speaks of the machines’ creation and charts the daily lives of the company, its members, artists, technicians and artisans, and how they undertake such visionary projects of mechanical urban architecture working in tandem with local authorities. Machines de ville highlights the machines which have slipped into people’s daily lives, churning out dreams, sparking discussion, stirring emotions and reflecting back to us our own humanity by their mere presence in the city.

Quick guide to design thinking Ida Engholm

The first book in the Danish Design Series is an authoritative overview of the current debate in design thinking

'Design thinking' is an increasingly widespread approach. In recent years it has been launched as a method that enables even the most conservative company to adopt an agile, innovative and entrepreneurial mindset and to think outside the box. But what is design thinking? How did it emerge, and what does it do? In Quick guide to design thinking, Ida Engholm highlights the concept of design thinking from a Danish research perspective. She outlines the research behind the theory and provides an overview of the many different professions, theories and methods that have contributed to developing and defining design thinking as a research and practice field. Furthermore, she offers an introduction to current debates about design thinking and issues a call for design activism as a path to a sustainable future.

A magnificent work that explores depictions of and myths about the Islamic knights and their fascinating arsenal of weapons

Does Islam have a special approach to warfare and arms and armour? Do weapons from the Islamic world have particular characteristics? Publishing in conjunction with an exhibition at The David Collection in Copenhagen from 24 February to 15 August 2021, Fighting, Hunting, Impressing discusses the central issues relating to Islamic arms and armour: the types and the different contexts in which they were used in warfare, in hunting, and as symbols of social position. Other aspects include the roles of arms and armour in the Quran; their collection history from trophies to museum objects; their inscriptions; and furusiyya-literature – the manuals for the chivalrous Islamic warrior. The publication showcases 151 items of arms and armour from the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires, in addition to miniature paintings that illustrate how the objects were used in their historical contexts, and supporting essays.

The Joining of the Arts

When Danish artists in the 1880s expanded their practice to include all kinds of artistic media and materials, they laid down the foundations for modern Danish applied arts. By injecting new life into form and decoration while raising the general level of craftsmanship, architects and artists offered an alternative, Danish twist on contemporary international trends and the growing mass production of commodities. The movement was very much motivated by a national artistic commitment that, together with the aim of improving the aesthetics of people’s surroundings, stirred industry and crafts to active involvement. Danish art quickly became known in the wider world – a fact that is reflected in the acquisitions of foreign museums and collectors from the 1890s. A number of these hitherto unpublished works are featured in this book. Mirjam Gelfer-Jørgensen spent 25 years as head librarian and assistant director at Design museum Danmark, prior to which she was an associate professor of Art History at the University of Copenhagen. She has published numerous books on design and applied arts. Art c.350 illustrations 27.3 x 24.5cm 532pp ISBN 9788793604698 January £70.00

Unity of Knowledge: Scrapbook from the Niels Bohr Institute explores life in research and science at this world-famous physics institution. Sculptor Rikke Raben has been part of the Institute’s daily life for a decade. Drawing on her background in portrait sculpture, she has merged selected historical black and white pictures, collages and quotes from the Niels Bohr Archive with new colour photos by Anne Prytz Schaldemose, who has been photographing life at the institute for five years. Peter Høeg has written an essay to accompany the images. This book reflects the meeting between these three artists and the Niels Bohr Institute. Serving as an unchronological historical document, its combinations and sequence of images creates a visual portrait that illustrates the curiosity and openness towards the unknown that has characterized the Institute since its establishment in 1921. Rikke Raben is a Danish (portrait) sculptor. Anne Prytz Schaldemose is a Danish photographer. Peter Høeg is a Danish author.

Ghost Ships of the Baltic Sea Carl Douglas; Photographs by Jonas Dahm

This magnificent large format book transports you down to the most spectacular wrecks in the Baltic Sea

The Baltic sea holds close to 100,000 wrecks – many of them surprisingly well kept. The cold water and the historic lack of shipworms has preserved the ships better than anywhere else in the world – thus the Baltic Sea provides an enthralling treasure chest for divers. There are warships from the 17th century, magnificent wooden ships from the 18th century, cargo ships from the 19th century and warships from the Second World War. On board these sunken ships, time has frozen – it often feels as if the crew has only just left the vessel. The wrecks have become like time capsules, a spooky mixture of serene beauty and haunting reminders of a brutal drama.

Unperson Portraits of North Korean Defectors Photographs by Tim Franco; Foreword by Sébastien Falletti

A collection of North Korean Defectors and their incredible stories, retracing their steps to freedom

In George Orwell’s 1984, an 'unperson' is someone who has been vaporized, whose record has been erased. Similarly, the North Korean defectors that Tim Franco chose to portray have decided to disappear, fleeing sometimes for ideological reasons and often out of despair. The road to South Korea is dangerous and can take years, across the many different borders with Mongolia, Laos, Thailand and China. The travels of the ones that do are filled with the fear of being arrested and sent back to labour camps. Having arrived in South Korea, they often struggle to find a new identity, lost between their North Korean past and South Korean future. Here, Tim Franco presents the stories of fifteen such 'unpersons'. Each portrait goes side by side with the story of how and why the subjects came to their radical decision to flee. In order to retrace their steps, Franco travelled to their crossing points, capturing the diversity of landscape that is the background of North Korean defection.

Imaging Failure The Abandoned Lives of the Italian South Steven Seidenberg, Carolyn L. White

An extraordinary historical and anthropological study of Italy, told in striking and fascinating photographs

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. With funding from the Marshall Plan, the Italian state attempted to inhibit the popularity of the communist party and other left-wing movements by appropriating some of their policies. Two extensive reform laws initiated a redistribution of land that had profound effects across Italy, albeit predominantly in the south. 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 an interdisciplinary 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. Some of the photographs depict the houses themselves, documenting the cast concrete structures posed on the landscape. As Seidenberg turns his lens toward this rural landscape, he captures the tensions between permanence and temporary, between occupied and abandoned, and where the edge of tolerability exists – places where people moved to live better and where the place was so intolerable that it had to be abandoned again.

Provence Style Decorating with French Country Flair Shauna Varvel with Alexandra Black

An intimate tour of the dream Provençal home, providing inspiration from some of the most evocative homes of south-eastern France

Thirty years after the publication of Peter Mayle’s bestselling memoir A Year in Provence, the sun-drenched southern French region continues to excite home decorators with its combination of rustic charm, elegant details and historical influences. Provence Style showcases the best of the region, with Shauna Varvel’s quintessential 18th-century Rhône valley farmhouse – Le Mas des Poiriers – as its centrepiece. Named for the working pear orchard on the grounds, the property was re-imagined by noted local architect Alexandre Lafourcade, who transformed a rough structure into a luxurious expression of the Provençal aesthetic, referencing historical influences, rural traditions and Parisian taste. Set amidst a garden of allées, arbors and terraces designed by the architect’s mother, renowned landscaper Dominique Lafourcade, this exemplar of Provençal style is the starting point for exploring the region’s characteristic interior details and exterior features. The book continues with chapters on the public spaces of the home, from entrances to living rooms, the private realm of bedrooms and bathrooms, and outdoor areas including patios and kitchen gardens, transporting the reader on a captivating stylistic journey.

Menorca Sketchbook Paintings by Graham Byfield; Written by Marcus Binney

The newest title in the highly successful ‘Sketchbook’ series features beautiful watercolours of Menorca

Menorca Sketchbook offers a remarkable new vision of the island through watercolour and pencil sketches from Graham Byfield, long-term resident of Es Migjorn, which are supported by a highly informative text from Marcus Binney, a regular visitor to the island. Menorca is full of hidden secrets, and the book illustrates not only the main buildings and sites of obvious importance, but also many quirky aspects of Menorcan life and its glorious countryside and heritage, making it a surprise and delight to both visitors and residents alike. Unlike many of its neighbours, Menorca has been spared much of the recent ravages of development, and now supports a strong ecological ethic, with safeguards in place to avoid uncontrolled exploitation. A strong volunteering spirit exists, which supports the local authorities to ensure the beaches are kept clean, and many old buildings are saved from collapse and ruin, most notably the Naval Hospital on the Isla del Rey and several old windmills. Menorca is truly a hidden gem and this book aims to reveal some of these secrets which makes the island so special.

Chernobyl: A Stalkers' Guide Darmon Richter; Edited by Damon Murray, Stephen Sorrell

The story of Chernobyl today, taking the reader into previously undocumented areas

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. 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. Darmon Richter is a British researcher with a particular fascination for the ideological art and architecture of communist regimes.
