Football Designing the Beautiful Game James Bird Eleanor Watson

This catalogue – the first of its kind – will explore the design story behind football, unpicking how design has been used to push the game to its technical and emotional limits.

This book – the first of its kind – explores the design story behind football, diving into how design has been used to push the game to its technical and emotional limits. From the master planning of the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium and the innovative materials used in today’s boots, to the graphic design of the Juventus team logo and the grassroots initiatives pushing back against the sport’s commercialisation, this book provides a rare insight into the people and processes that have made football what it is today. More than 200 carefully curated photographs – of FIFA World Cup posters, fan culture from across Europe and South America, and cutting-edge kit and equipment – tell the story of a changing game, from the earliest days of men’s and women’s professional football to today’s era of e-sports and vast TV audiences. Accompanying a Design Museum exhibition of the same title, this book features informed and sometimes provocative contributions from figures across the world of football and design, from analyst Statman Dave and broadcaster Martin Tyler, to architect Jacques Herzog and VP of design at adidas Sam Handy. The diverse perspectives in this catalogue reveal the extraordinary richness of the game’s design legacy, and cast new light on its future.

Surrealism and Design Now From Dali to AI Edited by Kathryn Johnson

One of the few books that explores the enduring impact of Surrealism on contemporary design, from Daniel Roseberry’s spectacular garments for Schiaparelli Haute Couture to the groundbreaking work of Google AI’s Deepdream.

This book is a concise, affordable and visually striking publication, accompanying the Objects of Desire exhibition at the Design Museum in London. It aims to embody the inventiveness and boldness of Surrealism in its design and production. Departing from the restraints of a traditional catalogue, the book focuses on key themes and objects from the exhibition and expands upon them. It also contains the bulk of new objects and exhibits that are specific to the exhibition at the Design Museum. The book is divided into five thematic chapters, each taking a notable object from the exhibition as its starting point. Commissioned essays by renowned writers, including Glenn Adamson and Susanna Brown, introduce each object and theme, followed by a richly illustrated series of plates featuring highlights from the London show. Each chapter concludes with interviews with a diverse range of designers and artists, from the Campana Brothers to Dunne & Raby, showing Surrealism’s enduring legacy and impact on contemporary design. The exciting roster of current practitioners brought together in this edition furthers the Design Museum’s mission to invite designers to ‘think in public’ and to serve the design community.

Never Alone Video Games as Interactive Design Paola Antonelli Anna Burckhardt Paul Galloway

Accompanying a collection display in Autumn 2022 and a recent acquisition of 12 video games to the collection, this publication features video games as examples of interactive design.

Our lives are increasingly lived on screens, and every one of our electronic interactions is mediated by a designed interface, which can be buggy and incomprehensible or inviting and accessible. Like other ubiquitous everyday tools, these interfaces are seldom recognized as objects of design – and even less as objects of interaction design. In video games, however, in which ‘play’ is an essential feature, users are acutely aware of their relationship with the interface, making video games compelling examples of interaction design. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Never Alone: Video Games as Interactive Design explores the impact of interactive design by examining 35 video games created between 1972 and 2018 – from Space Invaders (1978) and PacMan (1980) to The Sims (2000) and Minecraft (2011). An overarching essay by the curator Paola Antonelli presents the pioneering criteria by which MoMA has chosen these video games for its collection, as well as the protocols for their acquisition, display, and conservation. The richly illustrated plate section is divided into three sections that analyse input devices (keyboards, joysticks, buttons), game designers, and players, and each game is accompanied by a short text illuminating its significance in the history of the medium.

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

During the 1920s, Georgia O’Keeffe became widely-known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, and these canvases arguably remain her most iconic today. But she regularly returned to abstraction – the language of her breakthrough drawings from the 1910s. Executed in 1927, Abstraction Blue retains the glowing colour, careful modulation, and zoomed-in view of the artist’s contemporaneous blooms, while foregoing any obligation toward representation. In this volume of the MoMA One on One series, curator Samantha Friedman considers how these and other factors converged in the creation of this composition. Samantha Friedman is Associate Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

The latest book in MoMA’s One on One series highlights Georgia O’Keeffe’s Abstraction Blue (1927). Tarsila do Amaral’s painting The Moon (1928), a highly stylized, desolate nocturne, grew from the artist’s desire to create a new national form of expression for Brazil. In The Moon and other paintings of the late 1920s, do Amaral successfully ‘cannibalized’ modern European painting and Brazilian popular culture and Indigenous lore to transform them into something new. In this volume in the MoMA One on One series, curator Beverly Adams investigates do Amaral’s unique negotiation of her Brazilian identity and the contemporary innovations of Europe, a balancing act on which she built a modern art for her country. Beverly Adams is the Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Cans Starr Figura

This book in MoMA’s One on One series explores Andy Warhol’s ‘Campbell’s Soup Cans’ (1962).

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

In 1962, when he painted Campbell’s Soup Cans, Andy Warhol was not yet a household name, and Pop art, the movement with which he is now identified, was still on the cusp of becoming a phenomenon. With the Soup Cans – thirty-two nearly identical canvases, each one featuring a different variety of Campbell’s soup – Warhol hit upon a combination of subject, style, and strategy that he would carry forward as his trademark. In this volume of the MoMA One on One series, curator Starr Figura examines the ways in which the Soup Cans mark a pivotal moment in the artist’s career, and Warhol’s profound impact on art-making. Starr Figura is a Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Art 35 illustrations 23.0 x 18.5 cm 48 pages paperback ISBN 9781633451360 September £14.95

Just Above Midtown: 1974 to the Present Edited by Thomas J. Lax and Lilia Rocio Taboada

Published in conjunction with the first museum exhibition on Just Above Midtown (JAM), this catalogue historicizes the gallery’s importance and underscores its relevance in the present.

Just Above Midtown, or JAM, was an art gallery and self-described laboratory led by Linda Goode Bryant that foregrounded African American artists and artists of colour. Open from 1974 until 1986, it was a place where black art flourished and debate was cultivated. The gallery offered early opportunities for artists now recognized as pivotal figures in late-20th-century art, including David Hammons, Butch Morris, Senga Nengudi, Lorraine O’Grady, and Howardena Pindell. Published in conjunction with the first museum exhibition to focus on this extraordinary gallery, Just Above Midtown: 1974 to the Present showcases rarely seen material from the JAM archive of artworks, ephemera, and unique documentation of administrative and programmatic activities. The richly illustrated catalogue includes a conversation between Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem, and Linda Goode Bryant, a complete exhibition chronology with nearly 50 annotated entries, and excerpts from an oral history of JAM.

Hieroglyphs unlocking ancient Egypt Edited by Ilona Regulski

Accompanying a landmark exhibition at the British Museum, this book tells the story of the pioneers who cracked the code of Egyptian hieroglyphs and the mysteries of ancient Egypt that they unlocked.

Today the history of ancient Egypt is known around the world, recognisable in precious museum collections and countless retellings from popular culture. Yet for hundreds of years, from the late Roman Empire to the 19th century, the wonders of this ancient civilisation were frozen in time, locked in artefacts that could not be understood due to the loss of the ancient Egyptian language. In 1799 the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, a slab inscribed in three scripts, hieroglyphs, demotic and Greek, changed the course of history, unlocking thousands of years of ancient culture and eventually becoming one of the world’s most famous museum artefacts. The British Museum’s exhibition Hieroglyphs: unlocking ancient Egypt tells the story of the Rosetta Stone and of countless other objects that were central to efforts to decode the hieroglyphs dating back to the Islamic Golden Age. Featuring fascinating objects from the British Museum and international lenders, the book shows how the presence of a written language was crucial to understanding life in ancient Egypt, from everyday business affairs to the sacred secrets of the afterlife. Interweaving the story of decipherment with colonial history, the book takes readers up to the present day, revealing what researchers are doing now to tell us more about one of the world’s longest surviving civilisations through the understanding of their writing. Published to coincide with the bicentenary of JeanFrançois Champollion’s breakthrough in decipherment, this beautifully illustrated book shows how an unassuming grey stone was the key to the secrets of ancient Egypt and led to one of the most significant code breaking moments in history.

Lucian Freud IMMA Collection Freud Project Christina Kennedy

A new project and accompanying publication revealing new perspectives on the work of the great realist painter Lucian Freud.

IMMA Collection: Freud Project 2016 - 2021 surrounded a long-term loan of 50 works by one of the greatest realist painters of the 20th century, Lucian Freud (1922-2011). It featured a selection of 30 of the artist’s finest paintings, and 20 works on paper, on loan to the IMMA Collection from a number of private collections. During this unique five-year project IMMA created a space for looking, thinking, and learning with programmes that provoked new reflection on Freud’s work and what it means in the contemporary world. In the first year all 50 works were on display in Dublin, while subsequent exhibitions will also include works and new commissions by other contemporary artists in response to Freud, revealing exciting new perspectives on his work for artists and audiences today. This publication represented the first step in this process, featuring responses from 31 Irish and International artists who were invited to respond to the open question of what Freud means to them today.

Sally Gabori Sally Gabori Texts by Nicholas Evans and Judith Ryan

The first monograph dedicated to Australian Indigenous artist Sally Gabori.

Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain

Sally Gabori (c. 1924–2015) was born on Bentinck Island, northern Australia, where her people, the Kaiadilt, lived a traditional life. Gabori started attending painting workshops around the age of 80, which would finally prove to be an epiphany. She produced a substantial body of work in her short career, which now features in major Australian collections.

From 3 July to 6 November 2022, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain will present the first exhibition of the work of Australian Indigenous artist Sally Gabori. Sally Gabori started painting around the age of 80 and produced some 3,000 paintings over the course of her 10year career. Through a selection of 90 paintings, including remarkable large format works that punctuated her artistic output, this monograph explores the singular and colourful work of this extraordinary painter, who is one of the leading Australian artists of the last decade. Gabori’s work is deeply rooted in the history of her people, the Kaiadilt, and attests to an extraordinary pictorial modernity. Contributions by Nicholas Evans, specialist of the Kaiadilt culture and close to Sally Gabori’s family, as well as Judith Ryan and Bruce McLean, experienced curators of Indigenous art, put in perspective traditions and artistic practices to tell the story of Sally Gabori, the strength of her art, and her substantial cultural legacy.

Whitechapel Gallery

Following two previous displays at Whitechapel Gallery in 2021 of works selected by artists Ida Ekblad and Paulina Olowska from Norway’s Christen Sveaas Art Foundation, the third display will be selected and curated by British artist Hurvin Anderson. Anderson’s work touches on his Jamaican heritage, using repeating visual themes that pay homage to this own cultural history to explore identity and memory.

Emma Talbot: The Age/L’Eta Max Mara Art Prize for Women Edited by Laura Smith and Wells Fray-Smith

Documents the brand new commission by the winner of the 8th Max Mara Art Prize for Women, Emma Talbot.

Whitechapel Gallery

Laura Smith is Curator at Whitechapel Gallery. Wells Fray-Smith is Assistant Curator: Special Projects at Whitechapel Gallery.

Emma Talbot’s work combines painting, drawing, animation and three-dimensional making to create visual worlds exploring themes of feminist storytelling, ecopolitics, and our shifting concepts of communication. For her winning proposal for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, she questions rooted positions of power, governance, attitudes to nature and representations of women through an acutely personal lens. Taking as a starting point Gustav Klimt’s painting Three Ages of Woman (1905), which features a naked elderly woman standing in apparent shame, Talbot intends to animate the figure of the older woman as someone with agency, who overcomes a series of trials similar to The Twelve Labours of Hercules. Through her modern-day trials, Talbot will invest the woman with the potential to reconstruct contemporary society, countering prevalent negative attitudes to ageing and weaving in theories around permaculture and sustainability. The catalogue will feature complete installation photography of Talbot’s new commission, plus a new interview.

Anthology 21.0 x 14.5cm 240 pages paperback ISBN 9780854882991 October £18.95

Speculation Documents of Contemporary Art A wide-ranging investigation of what speculation can mean in contemporary art, and what is at stake for artistic, curatorial, critical and institutional practices in relating to their own speculative character.

Engaging with the question of speculation in ways that encompass the artistic, the economic and the philosophical, with excursions into the literary and the scientific, this collection approaches the theme as a powerful logic of contemporary life, whose key instantiations are art and finance. Artistic autonomy, and the self-legislation of the space of art, was once and often still is seen as the freedom to speculate wildly on material and social possibilities, with the artist as a speculative subject seen as the paragon of creativity – the complete opposite of the bean-counter obsessed with balance sheets and value-added. However once social reality becomes speculative and opaque in its own right, risky and algorithmic, overhauled by networked markets in everything, what becomes of the distinction between not just art and finance, but art and life? This new anthology surveys material and social inventiveness from the ground up: with constructs of the family, with technologies, speculating with gender, with systems of logistics and co-ordination. Artists surveyed include Bertolt Brecht, Jerzy Ludwiński, Cameron Rowland, Salvage Art Institute, Andy Warhol, Mi You, PiraMMMida, Sam Lewitt. Writers Include Lisa Adkins, Ramon Amaro, Brenna Bhandar, Octavia Butler, Cédric Durand, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Sophie Lewis, Dougal Dixon, Stanislaw Lem, Isabelle Stengers and Phillip Pignarre, Steven Shaviro, Can Xue, Daniel Spaulding.

Poetics and Politics in Motion Edited by Lydia Yee and Grace Storey

A bold examination of contemporary moving image works, exploring the poetics and politics of bodies in motion.

In recent years, music videos, celebrity dance contests and TikTok challenges have shaped the way we experience choreography and dance culture. During the Covid-19 pandemic when live performance events were cancelled, people confined to their homes turned to making and viewing short dance videos created on mobile phones, designed to be easily replicable and shared on social media platforms. Dance has long had a relationship to film and the screen, from early films of Loie Fuller’s Serpentine Dance (c. 1890s) which highlighted the medium’s ability to capture movement and light, to the multi-screen presentations of the choreography of Merce Cunningham transposed into video by Charles Atlas. Visual artists today are inventively reformatting dance and choreographed movement for not only film and the screen but also specifically for the gallery setting, with its repeatable presentation and spatialised viewing conditions. Between Poetics and Politics presents about twelve short films by contemporary artists and choreographers that explore the intersection of dance, movement and moving image. These pieces focus on performing bodies, and unfold both as individual works but also as collective storytelling that explore such timely topics as gender politics, desire, bodily memory, resistance, personal healing, indigeneity and collective identities. The works are contextualised by three new essays. Image credit: Alberta Whittle, RESET, 2020. Courtesy of the artist.

Zadie Xa Edited by Tarini Malik

The first monograph published on the contemporary KoreanCanadian artist Zadie Xa, documenting her brand new commissioned work for Whitechapel Gallery.

Zadie Xa (b.1983) is a Korean-Canadian artist whose work investigates issues of belonging and identity, drawing influence from both the fantasy and the lived experience within the Korean diaspora through film and performance, sculptural installation, textiles and painting. Xa’s brand new commission for Whitechapel Gallery will be an immersive experience informed by her ongoing engagement with indigenous histories and oral histories of the spirit world, and particularly those of local East London legends of apparitions and spectres. The accompanying catalogue will feature complete new photography of Xa’s installation, and will be the first monograph published on this intensely creative contemporary artist.

Edvard Munch – Infinite Edited by Tor Eystein Øverås

A weighty volume shedding new light on both well-known and obscure works from Munch’s oeuvre.

One sole truth about Edvard Munch’s art does not exist. The answers depend on the questions we pose. Twentyone Munch experts have written 150 texts about wellknown and lesser-known works from Munchmuseet’s collection. Through these multiple ways of seeing, Munch’s lifework emerges as infinite. And this book, as an exercise in the art of seeing. With contributions by: Hans Arentz, Mieke Bal, Patricia G. Berman, Kari J.

MUNCH

Lars Toft-Eriksen is Senior Curator at MUNCH.

Edvard Munch is often associated with Symbolism, a movement in literature and the visual arts that emerged in the 1880s. Influenced by the contemporary interest in spirituality and psychology, and in protest against naturalistic depictions of the real world, Symbolist artists turned their attention towards spirituality and the unconscious. Some decades later, in 1924, the French poet André Breton wrote his Manifesto of Surrealism, in which he argued that art should transform society by uniting the worlds of dreams and reality. In order to succeed, wrote Breton, artists must free themselves from rational and moral concerns, and seek to tap into the revolutionary power of the unconscious mind. This would open the way to a new understanding of personal experience and identity. In 1930, Edvard Munch was affected by an eye problem that temporarily blinded him in one eye. During this period, he made a series of abstract and symbolic works inspired by the images the disease produced on his retina. In The Savage Eye, these works form a bridge between two radical art movements, Symbolism and Surrealism, both of which explored the idea of the unconscious.

Anita Klein: Out of the Ordinary Forty Years of Printmaking A charming and intimate visual journal of the artist and her family’s daily life.

Anita Klein is an artist of the everyday and the personal. For more than forty years, she has produced thousands of paintings, prints and drawings depicting her immediate family. She captures these seemingly unremarkable domestic scenes with such humour, sensitivity and beauty to create an intimate visual journal with which everyone can identify. As the Guardian wrote, ‘no British artist has more thoroughly explored the female experience of family in the past 30 years than Anita Klein’. This book is a selection of around five hundred of the artist’s best-loved prints going back to her students days. It presents a charming chronological record of the family’s day-to-day life through the decades, seen from the artist-mother’s perspective, as they grow and change in their respective roles within the household. One can also follow Klein’s development as a printmaker through that time, from the simple monochrome drypoints in the 1980s, a consequence of the practical and financial demands of being a young parent, through to the more colourful and elaborate prints of more recent years. An introductory text is accompanied by short commentaries from the artist herself about both the work and her memories of the occasions depicted. Post-pandemic and post-lockdown, this delightful diaristic archive of life’s small and familiar moments takes on added significance for it is a timely reminder of what daily existence is really about.

The Flemish Masters From Van Eyck to Bruegel Matthias Depoorter

Surveys of the most important and influential painters of the Low Countries between 1430 and 1569 and all the genres of painting that were developed or renewed in the region.

Ludion

Matthias Depoorter is a writer and an art historian, and art and heritage expert for Tourism Flanders.

The lavishly illustrated art book takes in almost a century and a half of painting, from around 1430 until the death of Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1569. In the course of those years, painting in the Low Countries (modern day Belgium and parts of the Netherlands and northern France) reached unprecedented heights. These painters were thoroughly acquainted with each other’s work. They frequently borrowed elements from a colleague and did something new with it; artistic cross-fertilization was fundamental. This study explores what made these paintings so new and special. This approach is both genre-based and thematic, revealing something about the different artistic styles, formats, functions and strands, as well as the artistic and societal context in which they arose.

QSL? (Do You Confirm Receipt of My Transmission?) A Visual Language of Two-way Radio Communication

Roger Bova and Marc DaCosta

A unique visual history of QSL cards from 1960 to 1990.

Communications between amateur radio (AKA ham radio) operators and citizen band stations have been crowding the world’s electromagnetic spectrum since its invention in the early 20th century. Millions of operators formed what could be almost be described as an early internet – projecting their voices, ideas, and humanity around the world using various techniques and frequencies to bounce their waves around the earth’s surface, off of the ionosphere, and even the moon. Any communication network needs a way of identifying individuals. A QSL card is a written confirmation of prior communication between two amateur radio or citizens band stations – postcard-sized and mailed between users. Just like today’s internet avatars, operators had their own style and often projected their personality using their QSL cards. Collecting cards was popular, and a source of pride to operators. Do You Confirm Receipt of My Transmission? is a visual history of these cards, spanning from approximately 1960 to 1990. It includes over 190 cards, front and back, with high resolution details. The collection forms a visual history of early global communication – something we now take for granted but was once a marvel.

Hello, Robot Design between Human and Machine Mateo Kries Amelie Klein

An investigation into robotics and how it is increasingly part of our everyday lives.

Hello, Robot: Design between Human and Machine investigates how robotics has become an integral part of our everyday lives. As these intelligent machines emerge from their hidey-holes in washing machines, cars, and ATMs, we are getting used to encountering them almost everywhere: in industry, in the military, and in everyday settings; at nurseries and retirement homes; in our bodies and in the cloud; when shopping and when having sex; in video games and, of course, in films and in literature. The book also shows that design in its traditional function as a mediator is indispensable for robots to participate in our day-to-day activities. In a series of in-depth essays and interviews, experts including science-fiction author Bruce Sterling and the design duo Dunne & Raby explore what an increasingly digital environment means for us humans. They highlight our often ambivalent relationship to new technologies and discuss the opportunities and challenges they pose for us as individuals and as a society. Hello, Robot broadens the scope of debate to include the ethical and political questions arising from technological advances in robotics today and confronts us with the contradictions that often underpin the answers to these questions. This second, updated edition of the book (first published in 2017) includes a number of new projects as well as an introductory text presenting important recent developments in robotics and digitisation.

This 350+ page flexibound book is a revelatory guide to hundreds and hundreds of original 7” record cover sleeve designs – visual artefacts found at the heart of the most radical and anarchistic musical movement of the 20th century. The revolutionary do-it-yourself ethic of punk was applied to the aesthetic of design as much as it was to music, and record sleeves acted as lo-fi signifiers of anarchy, style, fashion, politics and more with an urban and suburban invective courtesy of the thousands of new bands - punk, post-punk, pre-punk, nearly-punk and more that emerged at the end of the 1970s. This book is an exhaustive, thorough and exciting celebration of the stunning artwork of punk music – everything from the most celebrated and iconic designs through to the stark beauty of the cheapest do-it-yourself lo-fi obscurities.

Of Our Spiritual Strivings Two Works Series Vol. 4 Christina Quarles

Christina Quarles illustrates W.E.B. du Bois's classic polemic.

Gay Betrayals Two Works Series Vol. 5 Leo Bersani

Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings illustrate Leo Bersani's classic work of queer theory.

In 1903 W.E.B. Du Bois’s text The Souls of Black Folk made history as a work of sociological thought, and would go on to become a cornerstone of African American literature. In it, Du Bois combined music, history and memoir to advance a vital message of resistance in the uniquely dehumanising context of the so-called ‘Jim Crow’ era. Du Bois passionately and creatively makes the case for the rights of Black people of the South to be treated with equality and justice. Over a century later, artist Christina Quarles brings new energy to Du Bois’s unfinished project, speaking to his melodious text with her own distinctive vibrancies of colour and line, testing and inverting the ‘double consciousness’ idea. Quarles, whose work is informed by her own daily experience with ambiguity, engages with the world from a position that is multiply situated. Christina Quarles (b.1985) is a contemporary American artist whose work confronts themes of racial and sexual identities.

In 1997, during a symposium at Centre Pompidou, Leo Bersani presented a prescient critique of the assimilative tendencies that made ‘gays melt into the very culture they like to think of themselves as undermining.’ Building on extensive artistic research into the politics of queer spaces and culture some 20 years later, artist duo Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings revisit Bersani’s polemic with a response in three acts. Through a kaleidoscopic array of drawings, preparatory sketches and egg tempera paintings, a narrative of everyday (homo) sociality comes into view. A series of statuesque figures are caught as they feel the outlines of existing power structures, try out new strategies of inclusivity and, ultimately, wrestle with the blurred lineaments of identity and community. Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings (b. 1991) work across drawing, installation, and performance, addressing discriminatory practices around the LGBTQ+ community. Leo Bersani (b. 1931) was an American academic focusing on queer theory. Art

Alfred Kubin Confessions of a Tortured Soul Hans-Peter Wipplinger

The first publication to explore Kubin’s oneiric worlds in terms of their relation to the unconscious and the deep dimensions of the psyche.

Walther & Franz König

Hans-Peter Wipplinger is a curator, author and museum director.

The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel The Other Side, Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. Kubin’s biography is characterised by traumatic setbacks and depression, but he found relief when he began to study art. Through a variety of impressions and artistic positions, but especially from his own empirical and emotional worlds and unbridled imagination, Kubin created his unparalleled, mysterious-fantastical oeuvre. In this publication, the psychiatrist August Ruhs will study works selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger with a view to understanding the role of the unconscious in Kubin’s oeuvre, and presenting him as an artist bridging the spheres of Surrealism and Symbolism.

Yale: History of an Art School Design by Irma Boom Edited by Angie Keefer Texts by Marta Kuzma, Linda Nochlin and Angela Y. Davis

A fascinating exploration of the legendary art school at Yale and its complicated legacy of integrating women artists, designed by Irma Boom.

The first women students to attend Yale University were members of its School of Art, at its inauguration in 1869. Despite these auspicious beginnings it would be another 121 years before the School awarded tenure to a female professor, and 147 years until the School of Art welcomed its first woman dean. Assembled from hundreds of hours of interviews with notable women and non-binary graduates, this is the first oral history of a fabled, if frequently misunderstood institution. Once a bastion of 20th-century modernist master narratives, the voices of these women graduates add a layer of complexity to an already complicated legacy. They speak plainly of the long and ongoing struggle for female integration and representation in the arts. This sweeping narrative traces its way through the incendiary politics of the radical sixties; the birth of cultural studies, identity politics, and intersectionality in the seventies; the AIDS crisis, the culture wars, and the neoliberal escalation of the eighties; and finally to our fully globalized, hyper-capitalized present.

Emma Enderby is Curator-atLarge of the Particular Matter(s) exhibition at The Shed, New York.

Through floating sculptures, interactive installations, and an artistic process that centres collaboration, often with spiders and their webs, Tomás Saraceno proposes a conversation between human and nonhuman lifeforms. These beings have been disregarded by humans in our current era, characterized by the destructive effects of capitalism on the environment. In a call for environmental justice, Saraceno also collaborates with human communities that have been impacted by these negative effects to renew relationships with Earth, the air, and the cosmos. Published to accompany a major exhibition by the artist, Tomás Saraceno: Particular Matter(s) celebrates the complexity of our collective existence while looking for ways to live together differently. Particular Matter(s) includes an essay from exhibition curator Emma Enderby and a detailed section from Studio Tomás Saraceno about the newly commissioned artwork Free the Air: How to hear the universe in a spider/web. Other contributions include essays by Vinciane Despret, Alessandra Gómez, Andreas Malm, Michael Marder, Filipa Ramos, and Harriet A. Washington, as well as a photo essay by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Headed by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes and Igor Urdampilleta, the Barcelona-based Arquitectura-G was founded in the midst of the economic crisis, when the market had stalled and government funding was frozen. However, in the last few years they have gathered momentum, and have begun to create a different kind of building, such as the Luz House, for which they received the Mies van der Rohe Award for Emerging Architecture in 2015. Their works reference the local architecture of the 1970s and 80s plus a newer, more hedonistic type of Mediterranean aesthetic. In addition to the works around Barcelona, they have also built four stores for the fashion brand Acne (Nagoya, Stockholm, New York and Paris) and are currently working on a residential project in Portugal.

Nonetheless, among the documents that he left to the Museum of Architecture in Stockholm, we also find photographs of his trips around his native country, in which he focuses his camera on objects of his interest for his mature stage as an architect, such as popular architecture, traditional construction, church interiors, landscapes and cemeteries, keys to understanding the post-classical stage of his career.

100 Years of Danish Modern Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects Christian Bundegaard

An impressive monograph portraying a vital founder of Danish Modern architecture and his legacy: Vilhelm Lauritzen.

Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) is one of the most significant architects in the history of Denmark and the trail-blazing figurehead of the Danish Modern movement. A number of his buildings – Nørrebro Theatre (1931–32), Daells Varehus department store (1928–35), Radiohuset (1936-41) and the first airport built in Kastrup (1937–39) – represented the concentrated essence of contemporary life. Other significant buildings to stem from Lauritzen’s drawing board include Folkets Hus (1953–56) better known today as the Vega concert venue, the Shellhuset (1950–51) building and the Danish embassy in Washington (1958–60). In particular the Radiohuset building and the earliest version of Kastrup Airport – both listed today – are considered peerless monuments to European modernism. This book allies the story of the Danish welfare state and its modernistic architecture to the story of Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects. Written by Christian Bundegaard, author of the successful Finn Juhl – Life, Work, World, it will be essential reading for anyone interested in the history of 20th-century architecture.

The Shadow’s Wandering Per Bak Jensen

The world that Per Bak Jensen invites us into is eye-opening and original.

In The Shadow’s Wandering Per Bak Jensen has collected 59 of his new photographs from his wanderings in a world where “everything seems to be slowly disappearing while at the same time in the process of being reborn”, as he states in one of the short texts accompanying the images in the book. The editor of the book Johannes Riis, former publisher at Gyldendal, states: ‘At first the world in which Per Bak invites us is rigorous and relentless, but at second glance a diverse richness unfolds. The sternness inhabits its own unfathomable beauty. It is not beauty that appears magically by the lightest touch. Rather, it takes a certain view of the world, a perception that is ridden of the conventional, the banal. It detests shortcuts and procrastination. It arises from an ability to select, focus, and concentrate. The photos do not present a key to understand every single frame. Rather, it invites us into the eye-opening and original world of Per Bak Jensen.’

To him, drawing was a way of collecting his thoughts, a method that made him understand his work deeply. As a young man, he broke with the Danish tradition of creating architecture, a method that was the accepted norm at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He was more interested in finding a way of creating more freely–and of thinking more freely as well. This book presents a selection of his drawings and portrays how he developed both professionally and personally from the young, dreaming, and curious architect to a committed and open-minded leader of a large architectural practice. The drawings tell the story of the personal journey of an architect and about working with architecture before everything became digitalised.

Bertha Wegmann Edited by Gertrud Oelsner and Lene Bøgh Rønberg

A new monograph seeking to bring the work of Danish artist Bertha Wegmann to a modern audience.

Bertha Wegmann (1846–1926) is one of Danish Art’s best kept secrets. Much lauded during her lifetime, she obtained great success through large exhibitions both in and out of Denmark and received special recognition at the Salon in Paris. At home in Copenhagen she was in high demand as a portrait painter, and was the first woman ever selected to be a part of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ plenary session. Despite this, Wegmann has almost disappeared from the collective memory of Danish art. This book seeks to reverse this situation and reinstate the artist into the history of Danish art. Bertha Wegmann is the first research-based book on the artist and is richly illustrated with both well-known and recently discovered paintings, photographs and archived material. The book was published in connection with the first grand exhibition on Bertha Wegmann at The Hirschsprung Collection in February 2022.

Gauguin: The Master, the Monster, and the Myth Flemming Friborg

A fascinating and timely study of the inextricable links between art and artist.

Strandberg Publishing

Flemming Friborg is one of Europe’s leading experts on impressionism, and was Director of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek from 2002 to 2016.

Celebrated as one of early Modernism’s most important figures, but at the same time condemned for his work and character, Gauguin’s legacy remains ambiguous. The discussion about his art and character has become even more relevant with #MeToo drawing attention to his relationship with under-age girls as well as his share in colonialism in French Polynesia. Nevertheless, Gauguin’s status as an artistic genius has remained mostly undisputed. It is high time to consider the master and the monster inseparable. Through this book the author Flemming Friborg’s fascinating view of Gauguin’s method is presented as inextricably linked with his moral through a personal and meticulously cared for brand.

In True Russia, Ukrainian-born photographer Alexander Petrosyan takes us on a journey through the lives of the inhabitants of St Petersburg.

Archivum Vintage Joy Division Prints by Kevin Cummins Kevin Cummins

Special edition book featuring over 50 vintage prints of the band Joy Division by photographer Kevin Cummins.

Archivum shows for the first time in book form over 50 black-and-white prints by leading photographer Kevin Cummins of the band Joy Division. Cummins, as a young, aspiring photographer from Manchester, had unique access to the band in their very early days, from when they were known as Warsaw to when they later became New Order, after Ian Curtis’ death. Many of these photographs were reproduced by NME and other music magazines in the late 1970s and they helped cement Cummins’ reputation as the greatest music photographer of his generation – subsequently he was made NME’s chief photographer for over ten years. The photographic prints (all 10 x 8 inches black-andwhites) are reproduced full size, both front and back, with the photograph’s notes and marks as well as stamps from the music magazines. This is a unique record of an important archive collection of original photographs of one of the world’s most iconic bands.

Khamsa khamsa khamsa Julia Gat

A photo-autobiography by Julia Gat that relates her childhood free from the constraints of traditional schooling.

Khamsa, the number five in Arabic, a reference to the five fingers of the hand, is repeated three times as a protective mantra. This work is a visual autobiography in the form of a family archive. To begin with Julia Gat tells the stories of childhood and teenage years growing up with her four brothers and sisters, schooled outside any education system via alternative teaching methods. Through images of what is essentially a family album, the artist developed her own distinct photographic approach. As she observes the faces of friends and family around her, their changing bodies and the beautiful Mediterranean landscapes, Julia Gat tells her story. Julia Gat’s first work is a tribute to a different form of education based on experimentation and the importance of allowing early artistic expression to flourish. The artist’s work is a candid portrait of her upbringing and reveals a talent openly embracing the freedom to tell her own story.

Homo detritus Stéphan Gladieu

A series of portraits centering Congolese art collective ‘Ndaku ya la vie est belle’, which uses upcycled waste to reinvent traditional clothing and stand against industrial pollution.

Actes Sud

Introduction by multi awardwinning novelist Wilfried N’Sondé. Photographs by photojournalist Stéphan Gladieu, author of the North Korea series (Actes Sud, 2020).

Today, global waste management – especially plastic – is more worrying than ever. The Democratic Republic of Congo stands among countries most affected by the lack of accountability of manufacturers relocating and outsourcing huge landfills on its soil. Ranked as the 8th poorest population in the world despite their country’s immense mineral wealth, the Congolese people are overrun by garbage left by goods produced with their own resources and labor but yet designed for others. A folk-art movement was born from the junkyards of Kinshasa. Dressed in masks and costumes made from rubbish, a generation of street children and artists from Kinshasa’s Academy of Fine Arts have come together to create “Ndaku ya la vie est belle”. Founded in 2015 by visual artist Eddy Ekete, this art collective brings together 25 creators who draw their inspiration from ancestral clothing arts to stand against the ecological disaster their country suffers. To amplify their struggle and celebrate their craft, Stéphan Gladieu creates a series of totemic portraits merging documentary photography with artistic practice. In a live studio set up on the streets of Kinshasa, he highlights the militant artists’ surrealist silhouettes and vibrant creations. Introduced by novelist Wilfried N’sondé, these portraits tell a story of creative talent passed on despite the attacks of consumerism.

Hilma af Klint: The Five’s Sketchbooks, Nos. S2, S6 and S13 From 5 October 1896 to 10 January 1906 Hilma af Klint, Anna Cassel and Sigrid Hedman

A reproduction edition of three sketchbooks which were used to document messages written by Hilma af Klint and The Five during seances.

Hilma af Klint was part of a group of female friends who called themselves ‘The Five’, which was active between 1896 and 1908. Together with Anna Cassel, Cornelia Cederberg, Sigrid Hedman, and Mathilda Nilsson, af Klint had been a member of the ‘Edelweiss Society’ – a group that combined Christian ideas, Theosophy, and Spiritualism. The Five received messages from higher spirits that they called the High Masters, and during their seances they documented the messages in trance-like states with automatic writing and drawing. There are 15 sketchbooks from this period, and three of these (S2, S6 and S13) are now available in a facsimile edition, brought together in a slipcase.

‘Consciousness is a scientific problem that is unlike any other. Our own consciousness, as Descartes noted, is the most indubitable feature of our existence. It is the most precious one, as well: consciousness is life itself, and for most people having their bodies kept alive in a vegetative state is no better than dying.’ Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University

The Meaning of History Henry Kissinger

Henry Kissinger’s thesis explores three distinct but important thinkers in the canon of Western philosophical and historical thought.

Stolpe

This study, published for the first time more than 70 years after it was written, wrestles with some of the first-order dilemmas of Western political, philosophical, and moral thought. Unpacking the theories of the great thinkers Oswald Spengler, Arnold Toynbee, and Immanuel Kant, its scope ranges from the Enlightenment through to the midpoint of the twentieth century – an era scourged by two world wars and the advent of the nuclear age. Equally important, it provides great insight into the conceptual perspective of its author, Henry Kissinger, who was to become the most influential American scholar statesman of the post 1945 period. Henry Kissinger served as National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State under Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and has advised many other American presidents on foreign policy. He received the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize and the Medal of Liberty, among other awards. General History 24.0 x 17.0cm 320 pages ISBN 9789189425866 October £30.00

It has been claimed that around 14,500 wars have been fought since 3,500 BC. Humanity has only experienced 300 years of peace on Earth. During the twentieth century more people in total were killed in wars than in any previous century. Relatively though, we kill each other less often now. Are we gradually becoming more peaceful? Regardless of the number of people killed, and the technology used to do it, we can rest assured that wars will continue to be fought. Can the causes of war be found in society or in biology, in a competition for economic or sexual resources, in historical circumstances – or in a universal violent instinct?

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.
