The environments of the Central Andean region in Peru, South America, are some of the most geographically rich and diverse in the world. This publication highlights the history, beliefs and cultural achievements of the different peoples who lived in these remarkable landscapes from 1500 BC to the arrival of Europeans in the 1500s, and the importance of their legacy up until today. Over thousands of years, the people of the Andes have approached agriculture, economy, gender, power and belief in fascinating ways. Many archaeological sites in Peru are uniquely preserved, and the book discusses key examples with a thematic and geographical approach. The vibrant and varied material depicted includes ceramics, colourful textiles, golden objects and wooden carvings, drawn from the British Museum and museums and collections in Peru and beyond. When juxtaposed with breathtaking photography of archaeological sites and landscapes, they reveal new narratives about the country’s rich history.

Hokusai: The Great Picture Book of Everything Timothy Clark

Landmark publication of a major new discovery of 103 drawings by foremost Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Acquired by the British Museum in 2020, these previously unpublished drawings had been forgotten for over 70 years.

Art 150 illustrations 21.0 x 22.2cm 176pp ISBN 9780714124896 September £25.00

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is considered by many to be Japan’s greatest artist. During his seventy-year career, he produced a considerable oeuvre of some 3,000 colour prints, illustrations for over 200 books, hundreds of drawings and over 1,000 paintings. These 103 exciting and exquisite small drawings were made for an unpublished book called The Great Picture Book of Everything – featuring wide-ranging subjects from depictions of religious, mythological, historical and literary figures to animals, birds, flowers and other natural phenomena, as well as landscapes. They are dominated by subjects that relate to ancient China and India, and also Southeast and Central Asia. Many subjects found in the collection are not found in previous Hokusai works, including fascinating imaginings of the origin of human culture in ancient China. This beautifully produced book draws on the latest research, illustrating the complete set of drawings, published for the first time.

Automania Edited by Juliet Kinchin; Essays by Andrew Gardner, Paul Galloway, Juliet Kinchin

Drawing on a diverse range of artworks represented in MoMA’s collection, Automania takes an in-depth look at an object that has inspired countless examples of innovation, social transformation, and critical debate among designers and artists working in varied media.

Automania explores the ways in which motor vehicles reshaped how people lived, worked, and enjoyed themselves over the course of the 20th century, and the continuing positive and negative imprint on the design and organization of today’s built environment. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, the catalogue showcases ten vehicles in MoMA’s collection: a Jeep Utility Truck, a Citroën DS 23 Sedan, a Volkswagen Beetle, a Fiat Cinquecento City Car, a Cisitalia 202 GT Car, a Ferrari Formula 1 Racing Car, a Porsche 911 Coupé, an Airstream Bambi Travel Trailer, a Jaguar E-Type Roadster, and a Smart Car Coupé. Presented alongside the vehicles are car parts, architectural models, films, photographs, posters, paintings, and sculptures, including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s 1898 print L’Automobiliste, Lily Reich’s 1930s designs for a tubular-steel car seat, photographs of American car factories (c. 1930–32) by Margaret Bourke-White, Orange Car Crash Fourteen Times (1963) by Andy Warhol, and Jorge Rigamonti’s 1966–70 photocollage illustrating a dystopic view of environmental destruction in Venezuela. Organized into six thematic chapters, Automania includes an introductory essay by curator Juliet Kinchin and examines the car as a modern industrial product, transportation innovator, and style icon, as well as the generator of fatalities, traffic-choked environments, and ecological disaster in the oil age.

Shigeko Kubota: Liquid Reality Edited by Erica Papernik-Shimizu; Essays by Erica Papernik-Shimizu and Gloria Sutton

In conjunction with a major exhibition of Shigeko Kubota’s work at The Museum of Modern Art, this publication will shed new light on an under-recognized visionary artist.

Shigeko Kubota: Liquid Reality sheds new light on an underrecognized visionary artist whose work has been central to The Museum of Modern Art’s collection of time-based media art. A resurgence of interest in Kubota has been quietly brewing since her death in 2015; following several recent group exhibitions that included her work, this survey is the first to revisit her practice in a holistic way. In an important shift away from the narrative of the woman behind the great male artist (Kubota and Nam June Paik met in the late 1960s and married in 1977), this publication serves as a rich and illuminating introduction to Kubota's practice and places her on the map as a major artist in her own right. Essays by curator Erika Papernik-Shimizu and scholar Gloria Sutton provide an in-depth look at Kubota’s key works, which deftly interweave prophetic contemplations of an increasingly interconnected 'pancybernetic' world with ongoing personal examinations of her own life, including transcultural observations made as a Japanese woman artist living in New York, and of her encounters with death. This richly illustrated catalogue contextualizes the artist's ground-breaking video sculptures through sketches, archival material, and nature studies – many of which are reproduced for the first time – to bring into focus Kubota’s observations on what technology can teach us about our own humanity.

Lee Colón is a Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA.

Published in conjunction with an internationally touring retrospective exhibition on the full scope of Meret Oppenheim’s long and diverse career, the first such exhibition in the United States, this publication surveys work from the artist’s precocious debut in 1930s Paris, the period during which her notorious fur-lined Object in MoMA’s collection was made, through her post-World War II artistic development, which included engagements with international Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual art, and up to her death in 1985. Essays by curators from Kunstmuseum Bern, The Menil Collection, and The Museum of Modern Art critically examine the artist’s active role in shaping the narrative of her life and art, providing the context for her pre- and post-World War II oeuvre.

Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen? A Reader Edited by Stuart Comer and Adam Pendleton; Texts by Adrienne Edwards, Mario Gooden, Danielle A. Jackson, Adam Pendleton, Lynne Tillman

The Adam Pendleton: Who Is Queen? reader serves as a primer and handbook to the MoMA exhibition and features an artist intervention of photocopied textual sources. Who Is Queen? brings together texts and imagery that foregrounds the relationship between abstraction and politics.

Adam Pendleton (American, b. 1984) is a conceptual artist who uses historical and aesthetic content from visual culture to explore the ways in which context influences meaning. Drawing from a substantial archive that references both artistic and cultural movements, including Dada, Minimalism, Black Power, and the Civil Rights movement, among others, Pendleton reconfigures words, forms, and images to provoke critical questioning. Published to accompany a multimedia installation at MoMA, this reader serves as a primer and handbook to the exhibition and features an artist intervention of photocopied textual sources, many of which directly relate to the content and programming of the exhibition. The project questions the notion of the museum as repository, and addresses the influence that mass movements, including those of the last decade such as Black Lives Matter and Occupy, can have on the exhibition as form. Drawing on the work of figures as disparate as Michael Hardt, Ruby Sales, and Glenn Gould, Who Is Queen? seeks to explore the nexus of abstraction and politics.

Theaster Gates Edited by Lydia Yee and Cameron Foote

Comprehensive new publication looking at the clay-based works of the groundbreaking African American artist Theaster Gates.

Lydia Yee is Chief Curator at Whitechapel Gallery and most recently curated Radical Figures: Painting in the New Millennium, 2020, Ulla von Brandenburg: Sweet Feast, 2018, and Mary Heilmann: Looking at Pictures, 2016. Cameron Foote is Assistant Curator at Whitechapel Gallery, London.

Published to accompany a major new exhibition of Chicago-based artist Theaster Gates (b.1973), this extensive survey focusses on his clay-based work, collaborative projects and large scale sculptures and installations since 2005. Gates’s interdisciplinary practice draws on his training in both urban planning and pottery, resulting in work which aims to instigate the creation of cultural communities and the recirculation of art-world capital, all the time considering the notion of Black space and ideology. Fully illustrated with examples of pottery, sculptures, installations, films and archive materials, the book also documents a new film by Gates and features essays from leading craft historians and writers. This in-depth exploration of Gates’s work is timely and relevant now in a world where a new generation are raising questions through making, identity and activism.

Magic Documents of Contemporary Art Edited by Jamie Sutcliffe

The first accessible reader on magic’s generative relationship with contemporary art practice.

This volume brings together for the first time writings by artists, magicians, historians and theorists which illuminate the vibrant correspondences between contemporary art and magical consciousness. Dispensing with the simple narratives of re-enchantment, Magic illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous, and shows how magical culture’s tendencies towards secrecy, occlusion and encryption have provided contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that boldly questions socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care. Artists surveyed include Morehshin Allahyari, Sofia Al-Maria, Annie Besant, Elijah Burgher, Ithell Colquhoun, Benedict Drew, David Hammons, Susan Hiller, Travis Jeppesen, Mike Kelley, Mark Leckey, Ana Mendieta, Jeremy Millar, Elizabeth Mputu, Katrina Palmer, Holly Pester, Tabita Rezaire, Austin Osman Spare, Linda Stupart, Jenna Sutela. Writers include Emily LaBarge, Lou Cornum, Erik Davis, Aria Dean, Allan Doyle, Kristen Gallerneaux, Michel Leiris, Esther Leslie, Patricia MacCormack, Alan Moore, Victoria Nelson, Mark Pilkington, Israel Regardie, Jeffrey Sconce, Louis Chude-Sokei, Michael Taussig, Gary Zhexi Zhang, Jackie Wang

Hold Still A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020 HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and Lemn Sissay MBE

Focused on three key themes Hold Still presents a unique portrait of the UK during the 2020 lockdown, through 100 community photographs.

Spearheaded by The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of the National Portrait Gallery, Hold Still was an ambitious community project to create a unique collective portrait of the UK during lockdown. People of all ages were invited to submit a photographic portrait, taken in a six-week period during May and June 2020, focused on three core themes – Helpers and Heroes, Your New Normal and Acts of Kindness. From these, a panel of judges selected 100 portraits, assessing the images on the emotions and experiences they conveyed. Featured here in this publication, the final 100 images present a unique and highly personal record of this extraordinary period in our history. From virtual birthday parties, handmade rainbows and community clapping to brave NHS staff, resilient keyworkers and people dealing with illness, isolation and loss. The images convey humour and grief, creativity and kindness, tragedy and hope – expressing and exploring both our shared and individual experiences. The book opens with an introduction by The Duchess of Cambridge. Each image is accompanied by the story behind the picture, told through the words of the entrants, and further works show the nationwide outdoor exhibition of Hold Still. It presents a true and moving portrait of our nation in 2020.

Sneakers Unboxed Studio to Street Edited by Alex Powis

The first book to gather leading designers, creators and industry insiders to reflect on sneaker design and its ground-breaking impact on popular culture.

Sneakers are the ultimate product. Initially designed to improve athletic performance, their cultural relevance has evolved allowing wearers to simultaneously express status, identity and belonging with a single pair.

Who are the people involved in a design of a sneaker? How do their roles and approaches differ? How does their individual work contribute to the collective effort of making a sneaker?

These are just a few of the questions posed to forty of the world’s leading designers, creators and industry insiders who are featured in this book. Richly illustrated, Sneakers Unboxed not only showcases iconic sneakers from the 1970s to today, but also never-before-seen drawings, sketches and prototypes for some of the most innovative designs in the world. From the subcultures that elevated various sneaker models to iconic status, to the secretive world of people and processes involved in making a sneaker, this book ends with a glimpse into the potential future of the sneaker industry – told by those who are striving to make that future a sustainable one.

Soviet Seasons Arseniy Kotov; Edited by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell

The follow up to Soviet Cities by acclaimed Russian photographer and Instagram sensation Arseniy Kotov. A photography book featuring four areas of the post-Soviet republics seen over four different seasons. Also available 9781916218413 9780995745551 9780993191107 9780993191183 9780995745568

In Soviet Seasons Kotov’s photographs reveal unfamiliar aspects of the post-Soviet terrain. From snow-blanketed Siberia in winter, to the mountains of the Caucasus in summer, these images show how a once powerful, utopian landscape has been affected by the weight of nature itself. This uniquely broad perspective could only be achieved by a photographer such as Kotov. Singularly dedicated to exploring every corner of his country, Kotov often hitchhikes across vast distances. On these journeys he chronicles not only the architectural achievements of the Soviet empire, but also its overlooked or simply undocumented constructions. Arseniy Kotov: ‘In this book I reveal the beauty and diversity of this vast region, showing both cities and nature at different times of the year. I have travelled widely across Russia and its neighbouring countries, where I captured the landscape of post-Soviet cities and witnessed the seasonal changes.'

During 2016-20 Arseniy Kotov visited all of the postsoviet republics, where he photographed more than two hundred cities.

AEROFLOT – Fly Soviet A Visual History Bruno Vandermueren; Edited by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell

The first book to tell the story of the Soviet airline Aeroflot using never before seen ephemera – advertising, brochures, tickets and promotional items. Also available 9780956896285 9780993191114

Despite the borders of the USSR being closed to majority of its population, Soviet citizens were among the world’s most frequent flyers. Following the 1917 Revolution, Vladimir Lenin made the development of aviation a priority. Assisted by advertising campaigns by artists such as Alexander Rodchenko, Soviet society was mobilised to establish an air fleet – from the very beginning of the USSR through to its demise in 1991, Soviet aviation flew its own unique path. This book unfolds the story of Soviet air travel, from early carriers like Deruluft and Dobrolet, to the enigmatic Aeroflot. Organised like an Air Force, with a vast fleet of aircraft and helicopters, Aeroflot was the world’s biggest air carrier of passengers and cargo, responsible for a wider range of duties than any other airline. In an era when it was still common to smoke on board, the Aeroflot emblem appeared on cigarette packets, matchboxes and many other everyday goods. Aeroflot publicity alerted domestic passengers to new destinations or proudly presented the introduction of faster, more comfortable aircraft, while colourful advertising enticed Western travellers to use Aeroflot’s international services. Aeroflot – Fly Soviet uses this ephemera to illustrate a parallel aviation universe that existed for 70 years. It pays tribute to generations of aircraft engineers, designers, pilots, ticket sellers, flight dispatchers, air traffic controllers, ground handlers and flight attendants, who jointly created this remarkable chapter of Soviet civil aviation history.

Internationally renowned for his revolutionary portraits of Black subjects, Marshall’s work interrogates Western art history – from the Renaissance to 20th-century American Abstraction – challenging and recontextualizing the canon to include themes and depictions that have been historically omitted.

Kerry James Marshall. The Rythm Mastr This Is How It Begins Michele Robecchi

Sheds light on Kerry James Marshall’s ‘Rythm Mastr’, a comic series on which the artist has been working since 1999 until today.

In 1999 American artist Kerry James Marshall began working on his comics series Rythm Mastr in response to what he perceived as the historic absence of black characters and authors in the comics industry. Initially serialized in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for eight weeks, Rythm Mastr was eventually presented as an installation on the occasion of the 1999/2000 Carnegie International, where the newspaper pages would cover the vitrines of the Carnegie Museum Treasure Room. In contrast with characters such as the Black Panther or the Falcon, Rythm Mastr focuses on the daily struggle of black people, elevating events like gang crimes and public houses demolition to epic proportion while following the adventures of the two protagonists, Rythm Mastr, and his young protégé, Farell. Over the course of the past two decades, Rythm Mastr has been presented in various incarnations, including light boxes, paintings and drawings. Thing came full circle when, almost twenty years later, Rythm Mastr was exhibited again in an updated form at the 2018 Carnegie international. This book is the most comprehensive discussion of Rythm Mastr to date, chronicling its genesis and developments, as well as offering a deep analysis of Marshall’s motivations and aspirations when he started the series.

The Final Painting

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 40 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. Patrick De Rynck is a classicist and translator and author of several books, including How to Read a Painting and How to Read Bible Stories and Myths in Art.

Magritte in 400 images offers a selection of the most iconic paintings from the master Surrealist, along with a multitude of perhaps less well-known jewels from his expansive oeuvre. 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. 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. Julie Waseige has evolved as an independent scholar on several projects dedicated to René Magritte. She is currently working on a documentary and several books, lectures, and international exhibitions and is in charge of the digitalisation of Magritte’s catalogue raisonné.

The Extreme Self Age of You Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland, Hans Ulrich Obrist

If you’re wondering why the inside of your head feels so strange these days, this book has the answers.

The Extreme Self is a new kind of graphic novel that shows how you’ve been morphing into something else. It’s about the re-making of your interior world as the exterior world becomes more unfamiliar and uncertain. The sudden arrival of the pandemic pushed the world faster and further into the 21st century. Now, life is dictated by two forces you can’t see: data and the virus. Are you really built for so much change so quickly? Basar/Coupland/Obrist’s prequel, The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present, became an instant cult classic. It’s been described as, 'a mediation on the madness of our media' and 'an abstract representation of how we feel about our digital world.' Like that book, The Extreme Self collapses comedy and calamity at the speed of swipe. Dazzling images are sourced from over 70 of the world’s foremost artists, photographers, technologists and musicians, while Daly & Lyon’s kinetic design elevates the language of memes into a manifesto. Over fourteen timely chapters, The Extreme Self tours through fame and intimacy, post-work and new crowds, identity crisis and eternity. This is an eye-opening, provocative portrait of what’s really happening to YOU.

Also available 9783960987543 9783863358228

For almost thirty years, Wolfgang Tillmans has been creating new pictorial worlds of abstract photography with his Silver works, which sound out and compellingly expand the boundaries and representability of photographic processes. Brought together for the first time in one opulent artist’s book, Tillmans describes the pictures as ‘stained, impure, bright, unstable, exhausted, fugitive, smear, shimmer, as solid colours’. In addition, Tillmans also shows images of the Silver works in exhibition settings: as elements of installations, at K21 in Düsseldorf in 2013 or as pure Silver installations at Tate Britain in 2003, the Venice Biennial in 2009 or, most recently in 2020, at WIELS in Brussels. An essay by art theorist Tom Holert discusses the philosophical, aesthetic, and material questions that Tillmans’s Silver pose on the one hand, while on the other hand the thought-provoking pictorial process itself sets in the room. A conversation between the artist and photo engineer Klaus Pollmeier delves into the innumerable phototechnical details, observations, and intentional as well as unintentional accidents that are at work in the photographs.

Can the Subaltern Speak? Vol.1 Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Estenfanía Peñafiel Loaiza ISBN 9783960989004

The Two Works series engages with the visual artwork’s potential for productive encounter with text, and its participation in regimes of thought and communication beyond the visual

In 1985 Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s seminal essay, Can the Subaltern Speak transformed the analysis of colonialism. In a deeply divided world Spivak’s text interrogated the historical and ideological factors that, by obstructing the potential for certain subjects to be heard, maintained the degraded status of those subjects on the world’s peripheries. The text remains, in the third decade of the twenty-first century, as compelling as ever, and affirms the continuing relevance of Marxism to contemporary decolonial thought. In this volume, the essay is given new life in dialogue with especially commissioned artwork by Ecuadorian artist Estefanía Peñafiel Loaiza. Loaiza’s preoccupation with questions of visibility and occlusion, the need for and absence of the image, has guide the creation of a mesmerising set of works. These form a visual vocabulary that echoes and refracts Spivak’s central terms, bringing new inflections to an enduringly important text. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is a scholar, literary theorist and feminist critic, regarded as one of the most important figureheads of postcolonial studies. She is a professor at Columbia University and a founding member of the establishment’s Institute for Comparative Literature and Society. In 2012 she was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy, and in 2013 she received the Padma Bhushan. Estefanía Peñafiel Loaiza lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, she has been awarded the Prix Ardoin and the Mariano Aguilera Prize for Contemporary Art.

Vol. 2 Angela Y. Davis, Tschabalala Self ISBN 9783960989011

Walther & Franz König

Art on the Frontline: Mandate for a People’s Culture

In her stirring essay Art on the Frontline, scholar and activist Angela Davis asked, ‘How do we collectively acknowledge our popular cultural legacy and communicate it to the masses of people, most of whom have been denied access to the social spaces reserved for arts and culture?’ Looking to the cultural forms born of Afro-American struggles, Davis insists that we attempt to understand, reclaim and glean insight from these in preparing a political offensive against the racial oppression inherent to capitalism. Working from a site of racial uprising some thirtyfive years later, artist Tschabalala Self responds to Davis’s words with a new series of characteristically vibrant, challenging and provocative works on paper. Her series of three individual subjects emerge collectively as something greater than their parts, suggesting in the ebbs and flows in joy and disdain a kind of shared social consciousness. Angela Davis is a political activist, scholar, author and speaker. She is an outspoken advocate for the oppressed and exploited, writing on Black liberation, prison abolition, the intersections of race, gender and class and international solidarity with Palestine. She is the author of several books and is the subject of the acclaimed documentary Free Angela. Tschabalala Self is a painter based in New Haven. She received her BA from Bard College and her MFA from the Yale School of Art. She has recently held solo exhibitions at Pilar Corrias Gallery, London; Art Omi Ghent, New York; The Yuz Museum, Shanghai; The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles and many more.

‘The character of the everyday has always been repetitive and veiled by obsession and fear’, wrote Henri Lefebvre in 1987. Drawing on his mid-twentieth century ‘critique of everyday life’, a monumental contribution to social thought, The Everyday and Everydayness takes seriously the everyday as a structure imposed upon all of life in the context of the ‘modern’. At a moment of enforced reflection on the everyday, revered contemporary artist Julie Mehretu re-examines and responds to Lefebvre’s text, bringing to bear on it her own longstanding fascination with questions of time, space and place. Mehretu’s mastery in interrogating these concepts collides with Lefebvre’s work in surprising ways that vindicate and invigorate this radical, rich and prescient text in the present.

The Everyday and Everydayness Vol. 3 Julie Mehretu, Henri Lefebvre

Julie Mehretu is an American contemporary visual artist, known for her multi-layered paintings of abstracted landscapes on a large scale. Her paintings, drawings, and prints depict the cumulative effects of urban socio-political changes. Henri Lefebvre was a French Marxist philosopher and sociologist, best known for pioneering the critique of everyday life, for introducing the concepts of the right to the city and the production of social space, and for his work on dialectics, alienation, and criticism of Stalinism, existentialism, and structuralism

The Urban Fact A Reference book on Aldo Rossi Edited by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac; Photographs by Stefano Graziani

An extensive monograph on the extraordinary theoretical and practical contribution of an “unusual architect”.

The Urban Fact examines Aldo Rossi’s formulation of a theory of the city, developed over the period of roughly ten years, from Architecture of the City published in 1966, to Analogous City exhibited in 1976. Rossi’s theory is not taken as an abstract argument, but is seen through his work from that period. A careful selection of twenty-three projects is presented here at face value. These projects, bound by the reality of their setting, but also charged with cultural and civic ambition, illustrate the intricacy of an architectural project as a complex 'whole'. They also demonstrate how architecture could contribute to the changing urban context of the field, hinting at an oeuvre painfully aware of its limitations and stubborn in its intentions.

Muller Van Severen Works 2011-21 Edited by Jan Boelen; Texts by Jan Boelen, Beatrice Galilee, Arno Brandlhuber, Sam Chermayeff; Photography by Fred Muller, Frederik Vercruysse.

A comprehensive overview of the Belgian duo Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen furniture collection.

Muller Van Severen is a joint design project of the photographer Fien Muller and artist Hannes Van Severen. Their work straddles the border of art and design: they favour functional furniture with refined shapes and contours, but at the same time the pieces also have something fragile and frivolous about them. Muller and Van Severen have been working together for a decade and during this time, the combination of their family roots, work process, and the use of simple industrial materials in combination with a rich colour palette have created an influential body of work – elementary forms shape functional sculptures that grow into vibrant spaces. Through conversations and visual references, this book unveils the origins, the complexity, and the references embedded in the DNA of Muller Van Severen's work. Curator Jan Boelen leads an exploration of the designers' universe, through interviews with Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen, curator and critic Beatrice Galilee, and architects Arno Brandhuber and Sam Chermayeff.

The Architecture of Health Hospital Design and the Construction of Dignity Michael P. Murphy Jr. with Jeffrey Mansfield and MASS Design Group

Buildings can shape our lives, improve our health, and transform society. Academic histories of architecture and medicine overlook the importance of hospital design. This book shows how hospitals embody the social hierarchies of their time.

The Architecture of Health is a story about the design and life of hospitals – about how they are born and evolve, about the forces that give them shape, and the shifts that conspire to render them inadequate. This book encounters brilliant and visionary designers who were hospital architects but also systems designers, driven by the aim of social change. They faced the contradictions of health care in their time and found innovative ways to solve for specific medical dilemmas. Less-known designers like Filarete, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Albert Schweitzer, John Dawe Tetlow, Gordon Friesen, Thomas Wheeler, and Eberhard Zeidler are studied here, while the medical spaces of more widely-known architects l ike Isambard Brunel, Aalvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, and Paul Rudolph also help inform this history. All these characters were polymaths and provocateurs, but none quite summarizes this history more succinctly than Florence Nightingale, who in laying out her guidelines for ward design in 1859, shows how the design of a medical facility can influence an entire political and social order. The Architecture of Health, richly illustrated with images and never-before-published renderings and drawings from the MASS Design Group, charts historical epidemics alongside modern and contemporary architectural transformations in service of medicine, health and habitation; it explores how infrastructure facilitates healing and architecture’s greater role in constructing our societies.

Matisse: Life & spirit Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou, Paris Edited by Aurélie Verdier; essays by Roger Benjamin, Patrice Deparpe, Justin Paton, Alastair Wright

Presents an extraordinary immersion in the range and depth of the art of Henri Matisse, one of the world’s most beloved, innovative and influential artists.

Spanning six decades and featuring over 100 of the artist’s works, Matisse: Life & spirit reaches from his early adventures in colour as a Fauvist through to the serene and distilled designs for his chapel in Vence in the south of France. Through paintings, drawings, sculptures and his triumphant cut-outs, it reveals how Matisse renewed his vision time and again over his long career, seeking new ways of celebrating the seen world and expressing the energy he felt in it. Highlights include the important early work Le Luxe I, 1907; the mid-career masterpiece Decorative figure on an ornamental ground, 1925; and the majestic self-portrait, The sorrow of the king, 1952, one of the largest of the famous cut-outs that the artist created in his late career. Filled with brilliant colour, dynamic energy, visual joy and emotional power, Matisse: Life & spirit offers an inspirational journey through the life and art of this ceaselessly inventive and life-affirming painter.

Julia Voss is a scholar in history of science, art, and picture theory, and Hilma af Klint biographer.

Hilma af Klint: The secret paintings will be published in association with a major survey of the remarkable work of this visionary Swedish-born artist (1862–1944), drawn from the Hilma af Klint Foundation in Sweden. Af Klint is now widely regarded as one of the world’s pioneers of 20th-century abstract art. Hidden from view for decades, as stipulated in her will, the startling re-discovery of af Klint’s work has captured the imagination of contemporary audiences. No one had created paintings like hers before – so monumental in scale, with such radiant colour combinations, enigmatic symbols and other-worldly shapes. In an era of limited creative freedom for women, af Klint’s secret paintings became an outlet for her prodigious intelligence, spiritual quest and groundbreaking artistic vision. The book will include over 170 artworks ranging from her large canvasses to small watercolours and pages from her beautifully detailed notebooks, as well as a selection of photographs and other images.

Hilma af Klint’s works carry within them a message and a philosophy of life, and according to Erik af Klint (1901–81), who was the sole heir to af Klint’s oeuvre, and founder of The Hilma af Klint Foundation, ‘Everything should be done to bring this hidden message to light.’ Hilma af Klint left behind 1,600 works of different kinds, 124 of which were notebooks and diaries with a total of 26,000 pages. Now, for the first time, all these diaries and notebooks have now been examined in the quest for the answer to what message, mission and philosophy of life the work contains, and what, as Erik af Klint writes, ‘Hilma af Klint’s spiritual masters intended with them.’ Hilma af Klint called the notebooks ‘educational material’, and they are the key to understanding her paintings. The Mission and Message of Hilma af Klint, among other things, brings up ideas from Spiritualism, Theosophy and Anthroposophy, and also thoughts from Rosicrucianism, that af Klint called ‘mystery knowledge’, and which influenced her message, mission and philosophy of life.

Hilma af Klint Catalogue Raisonné Volume V:

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 ground-breaking publication, divided into seven volumes, allows for this. Throughout her life af Klint used research-oriented methods trying to understand the spiritual contexts of the world. She investigated plants and other objects in their geometrical form. Nature was perfect; we humans just needed to look at it more closely. This concept is investigated in Volume V.

Published to accompany the exhibition at the National Museum in Copenhagen, Setting Sail: The Vikings Are Coming presents the latest research into the Viking Age by leading scholars. Opening with the story of the Viking raids and expeditions during the ninth century, Setting Sail takes the reader through the development of the Viking ships and sail making, the large migrations after the collapse of the Roman Empire, religious beliefs in an age of transition between Odin and the Christian god and scientific analyses of DNA and strontium isotopes that bring us closer to the Vikings than ever. We also hear about the development of language, about everyday life, with a focus on trade and royal power, and about weapons and slave trading, large silver hoards, swords and gold. And we hear about large and lengthy expeditions to Paris and the Mediterranean, the great pagan army and the Vikings’ fortified refuges.

Communes is a photographic essay by Raymond Depardon exploring the villages of France’s Mediterranean inland region. Its 80 black-and-white photographs were taken by Depardon in the summer of 2020, after France’s first lockdown, and cover the departments of Aveyron, Lozère, Gard and Hérault. These villages are timeless havens of peace, where tranquility and cool prevail. Witnesses to history, they were threatened by the ‘Nant concession’, a shale gas extraction project, but the inhabitants protested and the project was abandoned in 2015. The villages, with their cobbled streets, old houses with jagged facades and rustic construction, are once again thriving. The photographs are accompanied by a text by Salomé Berlioux, president of the association Chemins d’Avenirs, an association that accompanies and promotes thousands of young people from isolated areas. Berlioux is also the author of Les Invisibles de la République. Comment sauver la jeunesse de la France périphérique? (Robert Laffont, 2019) and Nos campagnes suspendes. La France périphérique face à la crise (Editions de l'Observatoire, 2020).

‘What do you hold close? Where is your secret place of belonging? If you had to leave everything behind and begin again, who would you be?’ In a series of richly-imagined portraits, the artist duo Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer explore the idea of Utopia in the age of a new diaspora, where young women whose lives have been influenced by forced migration, are photographed like goddesses inside lustrous sets. These vivid portraits are a judicious and of-the-moment examination of our historical memory and possibility. Cooper & Gorfer intertwine photographic portraiture with beautifully executed collage techniques and hand-drawn textures, blending photography and painting in their series, Between These Folded Walls, Utopia. This book lets us delve into a colourful utopian theatre, celebrating female power and inviting us to partake in the emotional dance of hardship, hope and transformation.

Gunnar Smoliansky 1933–2019 Gerry Badger, Hans Henrik Brummer, Claes Bäckström, Lars Forsberg, Marie Lundquist, Carl-Johan Malmberg and David Neuman

This 1200-page book in 2 volumes republishes the nine-book collaboration between art director Henrik Nygren and the late Swedish photographer Gunnar Smoliansky.

Swedish photographer Gunnar Smoliansky devoted himself to the medium from the 1950s to his death in 2019, originally working as a photographer’s assistant and attending courses under Christer Strömholm. Between 1956 and 1965 he worked as an industrial photographer, but became an independent artist thereafter. Smoliansky worked exclusively in black-and-white, developing his photographs by hand in the darkroom. Stockholm was the focus of Smoliansky’s photographic world, particularly the areas of Södermalm and Saltsjö-Boo where he lived and worked for most of his life. This book explores Smoliansky’s photographic oeuvre, focusing on nine publications originally created by Smoliansky in co-operation with art director Henrik Nygren between 2002 and 2008. These include both slim volumes and an imposing monograph. With one exception, all were originally published in Swedish, but all have been translated to English for this publication. A newly written tenth chapter brings this essential artistic career up to the present day.

‘Despite the range of themes and material, the intention throughout has been the same: to try to shine a light on a man of integrity, an artist whose life work was as unique as it was consistent’ Henrik Nygren

Memoria Tales of a different History Edited by Nadine Hounkpatin, Edited by Céline Seror

A myriad of stories, histories, questions and experiences scattered in our individual, personal, intimate memories, which renews our gaze on contemporary creation from Africa and its diasporas.

Memoria: Tales of a different History is the idea of a collective memory made up of a myriad of stories, stories, questions and experiences scattered in our individual and personal memories. Revealed here, through the works of artists whose work refers to the (re)construction of a common whole, a universal whole, which renews our look at contemporary creation from Africa and its diasporas. The book features fourteen artists whose works stand out for their desire to move the boundaries of art, to 'bring together elsewhere' and to show the diversity of our common individual and ultimately collective histories. The works explore painting, textiles, sculpture, video and even performance. They make up a journey that echoes on the one hand a demystified reading of parts of history and commonly disclosed beliefs about the African continent, and on the other hand the way in which the devices of imaginary stories are still in the making. Through this multiplicity of mediums, the works deliver their essence and show us artists with engaged practice, strong in their narrative power, anchored in their fluctuating geographies and in their time. By questioning our thought mechanisms, Memoria: Tales of a different History intends to open a discussion on our ability to renew our knowledge, to listen to different stories and to (re) question stereotypes and received ideas.

Borders Photographs by Jean-Michel André, Text by Wilfried N’Sondé

Jean-Michel André photographs places to reveal their shadow and their inherent sense of passage, building fragile borders between the real and imaginary, memory and the present.

In Borders, Jean-Michel André questions the notion of border, a question which takes the form of a wandering, whose starting point is in the Jungle of Calais on the eve of the evacuation of the slum in 2016. André pursued the project over three years in France, Italy, Spain and Tunisia – anywhere there were refugees in search of shelter, anywhere there were men, women and children brought together by the same hope of crossing one final stretch of water. With these images of the Jungle, he mixes various fragments of landscapes to form a visual palimpsest. These silent places never cease to signify partition, rupture and desolation and exhale the vertigo of emptiness. Desires from elsewhere become dust and smoke in these spaces where the human figure, photographed isolated and from behind, is located on a threshold, between reality and imagination, memory and present. With an accompanying text by writer Wilfried N’Sondé, whose novels follow similar themes, together André and N’Sondé combine their disciplines to create Borders which is neither a linear series nor narrative – rather a collection of works.

The Beatles: Get Back The Beatles; Foreword by Peter Jackson; Introduction by Hanif Kureishi; Edited by John Harris; Photographs by Ethan A. Russell, Linda McCartney

The most anticipated book in more than a decade by the legendary band, The Beatles: Get Back is the official account of the creation of their final album, Let It Be, told in The Beatles’ own words, illustrated with hundreds of previously unpublished images, including photos by Ethan A. Russell and Linda McCartney. Half a century after the 1970 Let It Be album and film, this milestone book coincides with the global release of Peter Jackson’s documentary feature film, The Beatles: Get Back.

The book opens in January 1969, the beginning of The Beatles’ last year as a band. The BEATLES (The White Album) is at number one in the charts and the foursome gather in London for a new project. Over 21 days, first at Twickenham Film Studios and then at their own brandnew Apple Studios, with cameras and tape recorders documenting every day’s work and conversations, the band rehearse a huge number of songs, culminating in their final concert, which famously takes place on the rooftop of their own office building, bringing central London to a halt. The Beatles: Get Back tells the story of those sessions through transcripts of the band’s candid conversations. Drawing on over 120 hours of sound recordings, leading music writer John Harris edits the richly captivating text to give us a fly-on-the-wall experience of being there in the studios. These sessions come vividly to life through hundreds of unpublished, extraordinary images by two photographers who had special access to their sessions— Ethan A. Russell and Linda Eastman (who married Paul McCartney two months later). Also included are many unseen high-resolution film-frames, selected from the 55 hours of restored footage from which Peter Jackson’s documentary is also drawn. Legend has it that these sessions were a grim time for a band falling apart. However, as acclaimed novelist Hanif Kureishi writes in his introduction, 'In fact this was a productive time for them, when they created some of their best work. And it is here that we have the privilege of witnessing their early drafts, the mistakes, the drift and digressions, the boredom, the excitement, joyous jamming and sudden breakthroughs that led to the work we now know and admire.' Half a century after their final performance, this book completes the story of the creative genius, timeless music, and inspiring legacy of The Beatles.

Like Trying to Catch Lightning in a Bottle 40 Years of Making Music at Eastcote Studios Martin Terefe

A new publication telling the story of one of London’s greatest recording studios, Eastcote. Forty chapters capture the 40 years since the studio opened in 1980, accompanied by new interviews and hundreds of illustrations, many never published before.

In 1980 a young musician and engineer, recently graduated from Cambridge with a degree in architecture, decided to start a music studio. That person was Philip Bagenal and the studio he started was Eastcote Studios. Situated north of Ladbroke Grove, Eastcote would go on to become one of the most important and influential of London music studios. It is where Massive Attack recorded their seminal first album, Blue Lines, where Neneh Cherry recorded as well as Tricky and Seal in the 1980s and early 90s, and where Mute Records recorded many of their artists, including Depeche Mode. Then in the late 90s it became a central part of the Britpop scene with Placebo, Elastica and Suede, and more recently where a new generation of musicians, from Adele to the Arctic Monkeys, the Kaiser Chiefs to Mumford & Sons, created some of their greatest albums. But this book tells the story of so much more: of why it became so successful, about the bands you may never have heard of, the sessions that collapsed into chaos and the triumphs on the other side. And about the antiauthoritarian sound magician that was Philip Bagenal.

Grayson's Art Club: The Exhibition Grayson Perry, Swan Films, 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

With over 300 illustrations and numerous examples from the fields of design – fashion, furniture, graphics, automobile, industrial, and interiors – German Design 1949–1989 shows how design featured in daily life on both sides of the Wall, the important part it played in the reconstruction process and how it served as a propaganda tool during the Cold War. Key objects and protagonists – from Dieter Rams or Otl Aicher in the West to Rudolf Horn or Renate Müller in the East – are presented alongside formative factors such as the Bauhaus legacy and important institutions such as the Ulm School of Design (HfG). The exceptional case of the division of Germany allows a unique comparative perspective on the role design played in promoting socialism and capitalism. While in the Federal Republic to the West, it became a generator of the export economy and the 'Made in Germany' brand, in the East it was intended to fuel the socialist planned economy and affordability for broad sections of the population was key.

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. 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.
