In autumn 2024 the Vitra Design Museum will present the first ever museum exhibition about Nike, the world’s most revered sport brand. The exhibition and this accompanying catalogue mark the milestones in Nike’s six decade history and explores its ascent into a global brand that holds a central role in popular culture. The focus of the exhibition is on Nike’s design practice – from the company’s beginnings in the 1960s and the design of its famous “swoosh” logo to iconic products such as Air Max Air Jordan and Vapor Fly, and current research devoted to future materials and sustainability.
The main source for the exhibition is the Department of Nike Archives, which contains a unique collection of drawings, prototypes and other documentation. The exhibition marks the most comprehensive access ever given to this archive. Among the objects on show are rarities and one-offs from the company’s early days in the 1960s, original design drawings and prototypes of iconic sneaker models, historical documents and films, as well as the results of collaborations with creative figures such as Virgil Abloh and Marc Newson.
Nike:FormFollowsMotiontraces Nike’s design process, which begins with the scientific analysis of the human body in motion and material research and culminates in the finished product and its branding. Along with Nike designers like Bill Bowerman, Diane Katz, Tinker Hatfield and Eric Avar, athletes – from the world’s greatest to the everyday – have played an important role in this design process.

Tim Burton Designing Worlds
Edited by Maria McLintock
The first publication to explore the relationship between Tim Burton’s cinematic creations and the world of design.
TimBurton:DesigningWorldsis the official catalogue for the exhibition ‘The World of Tim Burton’, opening in October 2024 at the Design Museum, London. It is the first publication to explore the relationship between Tim Burton’s cinematic creations and the world of design. The reader is invited into an examination of what is now broadly referred to as the ‘Burtonesque’, intersecting his iconic films with the impact of these unique design aesthetics on broader visual culture. The catalogue unpacks Tim Burton’s distinctive visual language, exploring the intersection of gothic, carnivalesque and fantastical elements that define his cinematic masterpieces. Insightful essays by design experts and film critics offer a deeper understanding of the director’s creative process, making this catalogue a homage to role that design practice plays in the hauntingly beautiful worlds he creates.
Maria McLintock is Curator at the Design Museum.

Do you know what propaganda looks like?
A mural showing Saddam Hussein on horseback.
A colossal cut-out of Benito Mussolini mounted on Milan Cathedral.
A film of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un parading an intercontinental ballistic missile.
A Pakistani newspaper advertisement calling for ‘Jehad’ (sic).
A soldier firing condoms from his gun in a Ugandan AIDS awareness and prevention campaign.
Juxtaposing material from conflicting ideologies, Propagandopolis presents the broadest range of shocking, unusual and visually arresting images, encompassing all regions and eras of the modern age to demonstrate how propaganda has been wielded to evoke emotions, rally support or instil fear – to leave an indelible mark on the collective consciousness.
Extended captions explain the fascinating stories behind this material, contextualising the strategies used by governments, agencies and individuals seeking to influence, deceive and demoralise through the use of propaganda.
Containing many previously unpublished examples and with an enlightening introduction from Robert Peckham, author of Fear:AnAlternativeHistoryofthe World (2023), Propagandopolis is an essential visual guide to the enduring potency of the most pervasive, manipulative and persuading images of our time.

You don’t have to play chess to appreciate ChessPlayers: fromCharlieChaplinto Wu-TangClan, but as Martin Amis asks in his illuminating essay: What are they playing at?’
These evocative photographs transcend the chessboard, spanning 130 years – from a steamship crossing the Atlantic in 1888, to the zero-gravity of space – showcasing the diverse range of individuals who have embraced the game across continents and eras.
Marcel Duchamp’s iconic quote, ‘All chess players are artists,’ resonates through these pages. David Hockney likened the game's strategic thinking to that of making art: ‘Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.’
‘Chess is war over the board’, said Bobby Fischer (grand master and world chess champion) – but here John Lennon and Yoko Ono checkmate this notion, with their all-white, chess ‘peace’ set.
Hollywood stars played chess on and off the screen – Humphrey Bogart deploys a Sicilian Defence against Lauren Bacall, while Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen plot their next gambit in the iconic chess seduction scene from ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ (1968).
With an introduction by Dylan Loeb McClain, former chess columnist for The New York Times, the photographs in ChessPlayers help explain the enduring attraction of this cerebral game, from pawn to king, amateur to grandmaster.

In the six decades that followed his landmark photobook TheAmericans (1958), the photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank maintained an extraordinarily multifaceted practice informed by perpetual experimentation and collaborations across various mediums. LifeDancesOn: RobertFrankinDialogue, published in conjunction with the artist’s first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, provides new insights into the interdisciplinary and lesser-known aspects Frank’s expansive career.
Coinciding with the centennial of his birth and taking its name from the artist’s poignant 1980 film, LifeDances On, in which the artist reflects on the individuals who have shaped his outlook, the catalogue explores Frank’s artistic and personal dialogues with other artists and with his communities. The lushly illustrated publication features over 200 objects, including photographs, films, books and archival materials, layered with quotes from Frank on his influences and process.

VitalSigns looks closely at how abstraction is often intimately tied with expansive, fluid ideas of the bodily. Bringing together seemingly unalike categories –masculine/feminine, figurative/abstract, self/other, exotic/banal – into newly fused configurations, the publication shows how artists have often conceived of these categories as inextricably intertwined. With a focus on artists working in the 1960s and 70s who, with a few exceptions, identified as women, the catalogue is divided into three thematic sections.
‘Mirror’ explores the ways artists have honed in on the forms of the face and head as a distorted mirror; ‘Matter’ looks at how artists draw on the metaphorical resonances of the body in ways that suggest mutable morphologies, especially in relation to socially constructed definitions of gender, race and sexuality; and ‘Metamorphosis’ examines how artists have used abstraction as a means to transform the human body into different modes of being: new identities, other animals, and spiritual or cosmological entities.
An introductory essay by Lanka Tattersall maps the historical precedents from a feminist and queer art historical perspective, while a prologue by poet and artist Precious Okoyomon and a short essay by Lambda Literary Award finalist Cyrus Grace Dunham open up new forms of language for questions around gender and abstraction.

Founded in 1929, The Museum of Modern Art owes much of its success to a group of remarkable women who shaped its future during its first decades. Because there were few precedents for a museum devoted to modern art, MoMA was free to invent itself without the requirements – professional experience, competitive salaries – that traditionally limited an art institution’s jobs to men. At MoMA women were able to create and define their roles as founders, patrons, curators and department directors, changing, as they did so, the course of art history. In this volume, readers are transported to the grit and glamour of midtown Manhattan in the 1930s and 40s through profiles of fourteen pioneering figures who made an indelible mark not only on MoMA but on the culture of their time.

The Düsseldorf-based sculptor, draftsman, model maker and sometime architect Thomas Schütte works in scales ranging from the minuscule to the monumental. His art addresses the mechanisms of power, the fall of empire and end-of-world narratives generated by a culture of societal alienation. Over the past five decades, Schütte’s work has continued its powerful critique of the Western world and today takes on renewed urgency.
Published in conjunction with the first museum survey of the artist’s work in the United States in over twenty years, ThomasSchütte presents a holistic overview of his career from 1975 to the present. Taking aesthetics, form and history as its focus, the publication features sculptures, drawings, prints and experiments in architecture, alongside revelatory archival materials that have never been published before. Essays by Paulina Pobocha, Jennifer Allen and André Rottmann provide historical and theoretical pathways into the complexity of Schütte’s oeuvre, and contributions by artists Marlene Dumas and Charles Ray reflect on Schütte’s significance through close readings of his work.

‘Strachan’s work is filled with astonishments and surprise.’
The best art and architecture shows to visit in 2024,
The Guardian
This major monograph will focus on the highly inventive ways in which the Bahamian-born artist Tavares Strachan (b.1979) has engaged with questions of cultural visibility and social inequity, through painting, sculpture and installation. A new interview with Ralph Rugoff and essays by Ekow Eshun and Maggie M. Cao will examine the myriad ways Strachan's work turns upside down conventional models of knowledge and education, discussing the artist’s own role as an explorer as well as works that pay homage to pioneers who navigated unknown ideas and uncharted territories. This lavishly illustrated, hardback volume features work from Strachan’s The Encyclopedia of Invisibility – an ongoing, 2,400-page publication and related sculptures and paintings that spotlight figures forgotten by history – as well as recent pieces that imaginatively remap the lost cultural connections between African diaspora people and traditional African societies. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, the book features an Index of Characters and Exhibition History, as well as a dustjacket with gold foiling.

Olga de Amaral
Ann Coxon, María Wills Londoño, Marie Perennès and Lina Gotmeh
Gathering around a hundred works as well as many archive photographs, this book on artist Olga de Amaral retraces the evolution of her practice over time and the major role she played in the revolution of Fiber Art.
Olga de Amaral is an emblematic figure of the Colombian art scene and of Fiber Art. Unclassifiable, her work borrows as much from Modernist principles, as from her cultural heritage and traditional Colombian weaving techniques. A contemporary of Magdalena Abakanowicz and Sheila Hicks, she participated in the revolution of Fiber Art in the 1960s and 1970s.
Amaral’s hand-woven works combine natural fibres, paint, plaster and precious metals, and reflect her interest in architecture and geometry. While her early works featured geometric motifs and bright colours, those of the 1970s marked the start of her research on three-dimensionality, with works that free themselves from the wall to invade space. She then returned to a more human and intimate scale, with colours inspired by Colombian landscapes.
From October 2024 to March 2025, the Fondation Cartier unveils the full richness and power of Amaral’s art in her first major retrospective in Europe. Bringing together historical works never presented outside Colombia, as well as contemporary pieces with vibrant shapes and colours, the exhibition highlights the artist’s career-long experimentation with materials, scale, and three-dimensionality.

When the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (the ‘PRB’) exhibited their first works in 1849 it heralded a revolution in British art. Styling themselves the ‘Young Painters of England’ this group of young men aimed to overturn stale Victorian artistic conventions and challenge the previous generation with their startling colours and compositions.
Think of the images created by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others in their circle, however, and it is not men but palefaced young women with lustrous, tumbling locks that spring to mind, gazing soulfully from the picture frame or in dramatic scenes painted in glowing colours. Who were these women? What is known of their lives and their roles in a movement that, in successive phases, spanned over half a century? For far too long the male protagonists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement have dominated accounts of this revolution in British art. This book redresses the balance in showing just how engaged and central women were to the endeavour – as the subjects of the images themselves, certainly, but also in their production.

Hew Locke
Hew Locke, Isabel Seligman and Indra Khanna
Together with his own artworks, contemporary artist Hew Locke uses the British Museum’s collection as a springboard to explore themes of colonialism and cultural interactions.
Hew Locke is interested in dissecting the messy and complex ways in which museums are implicated in histories of empire. ‘This project has enabled me to engage with the museum’s collections in a much deeper way than ever before, and in a way few artists have had the privilege of doing. I have always been interested in the way objects are interpreted through display in museums. What story has been distilled and is being told or implied about the past? How does it relate to the present? How can this telling be questioned, disrupted, or complicated?’
The British Museum’s history and collections are closely linked to those of the British Empire, which this book addresses alongside a consideration of today’s often contentious and deeply felt debates around cultural heritage. Focusing on Britain’s historic interactions with Africa, India and the Caribbean from around 1600 onwards, all of which had an impact on Guyana (where Locke grew up), Locke creates a personal exploration of the subject, weaving in his own works such as the Souvenir series and a new commission titled The Watchers. Using interventionist techniques to reframe the collection’s historical objects, the artist hopes to leave readers with more questions than answers.

Picasso
Printmaker
Catherine Daunt
Picasso was one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print. This book charts his career as a printmaker, which was characterised by close collaboration with skilled printers, through which extraordinary artworks were produced.
Printmaking was a vitally important activity in the long artistic career of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). His longstanding, if at times episodic, engagement with printmaking, stretched from his early years in Paris until his old age in 1972. This book explores how the technical challenges of working in different print media (etching, aquatint, linocut and lithography) inspired Picasso’s creativity.
Together with a stunning selection of works on paper by Picasso, it also includes sculptures, drawings and prints by other artists and cultures of the kind that inspired Picasso. His prints often demonstrate his keen sense of belonging to an artistic lineage stretching back to antiquity (stemming from his kinship with the Mediterranean world of his birthplace, Málaga), as well as great artists of the past such as Raphael, Rembrandt and Ingres. One section explores the contradictions and controversies relating to Picasso’s relationships with his wives and lovers. The focus on Picasso as a printmaker will argue for the importance of this activity in his long artistic career, and his continued relevance as one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print.

A monastery was later built on the spot where the mulberry tree seeds were planted. Versions of this legend can be found in Tibetan and Chinese sources, including an account by Xuanzang who stayed in Khotan.

Silk Roads
Sue Brunning, Yu-ping Luk, Elisabeth R. O’Connell and Tim Williams
A richly illustrated publication that explores the networks of contacts and exchanges spanning Afro-Eurasia from 500 to 1000 ce, highlighting how the movement of people, objects and ideas shaped cultures and histories.
In the ninth century ce, an Arabian ship sank off the coast of Indonesia. The objects found in the wreckage have provided extraordinary evidence of the nature, scale and diversity of trade between Tang China and the Islamic Abbasid dynasty, revealing the extent of a large-scale operation. This is just one example of the sprawling and extensive networks of contacts and exchanges across Afro-Eurasia, from Japan to Britain, in the period 500 to 1000 ce.
This book challenges the concept of the ‘Silk Roads’ as a simple history of trade between East and West. Focusing on a series of overlapping geographic zones, interspersed with case studies of particular peoples who were active along these networks – seafarers in the Indian Ocean, Sogdians, Vikings, Aksumites, and the peoples of al-Andalus – it reveals remarkable human stories, innovations and the transfer of knowledge that emerged from these connections. Each section explores notable examples of contacts, connections and integrations, while emphasising the environmental and historical conditions that shaped them, featuring the latest scientific research.
The dazzling range of objects includes a wooden panel with a painting of the ‘silk princess’ who smuggled the eggs of the silk moth from China; a lion sculpture from Jordan; a miniature wooden pagoda from Japan; gold coins from Yemen; wall paintings from the Hall of Ambassadors in Uzbekistan; a kaftan from the Caucasus region; an ivory cross from Spain; and a gold and garnet scabbard slide from the Sutton Hoo burial in Britain.

Both a visual artist and an electronic music producer, Andrew Pierre Hart has consistently explored the interrelationship between sound and painting, while also incorporating aspects of sculpture, mural-making, installation, language, performance and film. In this accessible publication, an illustrated essay by writer Allie Biswas discusses how Hart materialises these overlapping sensory qualities across recent exhibitions and artworks.
Curator and director Gilane Tawadros introduces Hart’s new commission, which is grounded in Hart’s research into the Whitechapel area and his conversations with those who live and work locally. Extensive illustrations document the resulting installation, which features colourful abstract and figurative paintings, a large-scale collaborative mural, a towering bamboo sculpture and video shot with three dancers in the streets surrounding the Gallery. Extended captions by curator Cameron Foote draw out how these imaginative artworks engage with Whitechapel’s history of anti-racist activism.
A conversation between Hart and artist Larry Achiampong outlines synergies between their work and their shared experiences growing up in rapidly gentrifying parts of east and west London. Hart intervenes in the book with a playful and disruptive artist’s section, fusing journallike snapshots taken in Whitechapel, and on recent trips to Nigeria and Barbados, with concrete poems, reflections and annotations that reveal the motivations surrounding his artwork.

Koudelka Theatre
Photographs by Josef Koudelka Text by Tomáš Pospěch
‘Moving among the actors on set, I was able to take the same scene, multiple times, but differently. It taught me how to get the most out of a given situation, and I have continued to apply this method to my work.’
Josef Koudelka
Josef Koudelka is a CzechFrench photographer. He is a member of Magnum Photos and has won awards such as the Prix Nadar, a Grand Prix National de la Photographie, a Grand Prix Henri CartierBresson, and the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography.

In his own words, Josef Koudelka was not particularly interested in theatre in his youth. When he arrived in Prague from his Moravian village in the late 1950s, his focus was on his studies. His interests were airplanes, folk music and photography, which he practised as an amateur. A classmate recommended that he meet his uncle, who worked in the editorial staff of the magazine Divadlo (Theatre), then looking for a photographer. It was in this context that Josef Koudelka, soon to become an aeronautical engineer by profession, became a theatre photographer.
In the 1960s, Prague theatres were one of the rare places in Soviet Czechoslovakia where relative freedom of expression continued. Following the Prague Spring (1968), these stages were forced to close, and their animators dissented or left the country.
There is a rich correlation of levels between Koudelka’s theatrical photography and his later way of conceiving his images as a reflection on the theatre of the world. Everything that we know of his practice of the image can be found from his beginnings in the work he did in Prague in the 1960s: his attention to graphic composition, his ease of working in tight spaces among people in movement and in difficult lighting situations, his obsession with returning again and again to the same motif, the same gestures and rituals.

The Decisive Moment is one of the greatest photography books ever published, bringing together photographic material from the first twenty years of Henri CartierBresson’s career.
The book was published in French as Images à la Sauvette in 1952, with an original cover by Matisse. It was the result of a collaboration between the photographer, the famous art critic and publisher Tériade, and the painter, at the peak of his career. The American version, published the same year, was the first to introduce the now-famous expression ‘decisive moment’. The book, which reveals the intrinsic duality of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s work, the combination of intimate interpretation with documentary observation, received tremendous critical acclaim within the art world and is considered a ‘bible for photographers’, in the words of photographer Robert Capa. It remains an essential reference for photographers to this day.
The original book, now out of print, has become a collector’s item. The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson sought to make this classic photography book accessible again, in a smaller and practical format, at an affordable price. This new edition features the same material as the original 1952 edition, and is accompanied by a comprehensive study of the making of the book, its enduring popularity, and the considerations behind its title, written by Clément Chéroux, Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.

First published in 1994 and regularly reissued and expanded since, True Stories returns in a new edition with three new stories. Calle’s projects have frequently drawn on episodes from her own life, but this book – part visual memoir, part meditation on the resonances of photographs and belongings – is as close as she has come to producing an autobiography, albeit one highly poetical and fragmentary, as is characteristic of her work. The tales – never longer than a page – are by turns lighthearted, humorous, serious, dramatic or cruel. Each is accompanied by an image; each offers a fragment of life. Calle herself is the author, narrator and protagonist of her stories and photography. Her words are sombre, chosen precisely and carefully. She offers up her own memories –childhood, marriage, sex and death – with brilliant humour, insight and pleasure. By turns serious, hilarious, dramatic or cruel, these real-life stories represent a form of work in progress recounting fragments of her life.

Twenty years ago, at the Basel Art Fair, Astrid Ullens bought a photograph by Brancusi, more or less on the spur of the moment. This proved to be the first step in the formation of an impressive collection that today comprises more than 5,000 photographs, some by such renowned figures as Lewis Baltz, Lee Friedlander, Helen Levitt and Walker Evans, others by young photographers like Francesco Neri, Georges Senga, Massao Mascaro and Tarrah Krajnak.
This substantial volume provides an excellent introduction to the collection of Ullens’ Fondation A Stichting, with more than 100 photographers plentifully represented in no fewer than 2,000 images. In doing so, it takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the self-reflexive and conceptually-inflected documentary photography of the 20th century, with plenty of surprises alongside the well-known landmarks. It also offers a portrait of a cohort of photographers who still, in one way or another, have sought to give the viewer a better understanding of the world, of nature, mankind, society, and photography itself.
As well as the images and brief entries on each photographer, the book includes several essays by scholars and others, among them curator Urs Stahel, author and journalist Guy Duyplat, and photographers Nicholas Nixon, Judith Joy Ross and Jim Goldberg. An indispensable volume for all lovers of photography, SAGA is to be published to coincide with the exhibition When Images Learn To Speak at Les Rencontres d’Arles in the summer of 2024.

Hokuei:MasterpiecesofJapaneseActorPrints profiles one of the most intriguing artists ever in kabuki-actor design: Shunbaisai Hokuei (active 1828–1836). A culminating figure in Osaka printmaking, Hokuei produced more masterworks than any other artist of his day. The prints, all shown in colour, are largely drawn from the most extensive collection of Hokuei’s works to be found anywhere. The book presents two chapters on the artist’s life and work, situating his oeuvre within the demimonde of pleasure and entertainment known as the Floating World (Ukiyo). The world of kabuki comes alive in fascinating detail, while assessments of design and technical attributes bring into focus the achievements of Hokuei and printmaking artisans of his age. Of particular importance for scholars and collectors, there is a fully illustrated and annotated catalogue raisonné of 270 prints—the artist’s entire known print oeuvre—including designs not to be found anywhere else. As an added bonus, all Japanese inscriptions are translated into English. Well-illustrated appendices cover essential tabulations of Hokuei’s prints and their formats, his students, his artist signatures and seals, publishers, carvers, printers, theaters, a glossary, an index, and a bibliography. All-told, the range of comprehensive information featured in this publication make it a singular reference not only for admirers of Hokuei, but also for those interested in the world of actors on stage.

This slim but powerful text is required reading for anyone interested in the history of 20th century art. The book, which Kandinsky claimed had been gestating for nearly a decade, elucidates his artistic theories and his valuing of expression and spirituality over naturalistic representation. With reference to and analysis of earlier masters such as Picasso and Matisse, Kandinsky calls for a spiritual revolution in painting in which artists to express their lives in abstract terms. The treatise also delves deeper into the psychology of colours, the language of form and the responsibilities of the artist.

Perhaps more than any other text, ALittleHistoryof Photography by the German-Jewish thinker Walter Benjamin has shaped the way in which we understand early photography and the photographic act. One of the first theoretical studies of visual culture, this essay laid the foundation for modern cultural criticism. Instead of regarding the artwork as a unique object, Benjamin emphasized the political and artistic potential of a new technology based on endless reproduction. ALittleHistory ofPhotography was originally published in the German literary journal DieLiterarischeWelt in 1931 as three short essays reviewing several books dedicated to early photography. In this text, Benjamin introduced concepts that remain central to critical theory of the medium: the aura, optical unconscious, reproducibility, among other topics. It constitutes a remarkably prescient description of the limits and potentials of photography which remains thought-provoking today.

Dan Flavin: Dedications in Lights
Josef Helfenstein and Olga Osadtschy
This catalogue dedicated to the pioneer of Minimal Art accompanies the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Basel.
Dan Flavin began work with fluorescent light tubes from the early 1960s on; arranged in so-called ‘situations’, he would then further develop them into series and large-scale installations. The colours and dimensions of the materials he used were prescribed by industrial production. Flooded in light, viewers themselves become part of the works; the space, along with the objects within it, are set in relation to each other and thus become immersive experiences of art triggering sensual, almost spiritual experiences. Flavin liberated colour from the two-dimensionality of painting.
DanFlavin:DedicationsinLightsis a lavishly illustrated catalogue, in which longer research essays are complemented by more focused introductions to selected core loans and topics. It places emphasis on looking at Flavin’s oeuvre in a less familiar setting; his pieces, although initially without clearly recognisable signature, frequently make reference in their titles to concrete events, such as wartime atrocities or police violence, or are dedicated to other artists – as in the work ‘untitled’.

Radical!WomenArtistsandModernisms1910–1950 questions the concept of modern art as a linear development primarily driven by men. Instead, it brings artists from a wide range of backgrounds into a dialogue and thus opens up new perspectives on the diversity and crossborder dimension of modernism. The works featured here can be considered as not only bearing witness to rapidly advancing industrialisation, urbanisation and technological development but also reflecting the complexity and contradictions that came with emancipation and evolving gender roles. Regardless of their artistic expression or origin, these artists were united by the search for a new visual vocabulary in order to understand the rapidly changing world and respond to the pressing questions of their time. Their works became an act of rebellion against patriarchy, capitalism, fascism and colonialism. Featured artists include Gertrud Arndt, Louise Bourgeois, Claude Cahun, Benedetta Cappa, Elizabeth Catlett, Sonia Delaunay, Maya Deren, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Alexandra Exter, Leonor Fini, Trude Fleischmann, Erika Giovanna-Klien, Natalia Goncharova, Hannah Höch, Käthe Kollwitz, Lotte Laserstein, Tamara de Lempicka, Alice Lex- Nerlinger, Jeanne Mammen, Marlow Moss, Hanna Nagel, Alice Neel, Anton Prinner, Gazbia Sirry, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Dorothea Tanning, Charley Toorop, Toyen, Madiha Umar and Fahr-El-Nissa Zeid.

The Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is known and loved around the world for his sophisticated chairs – but few people are familiar with his masterly watercolours.
Throughout his career, his workshop drawings were often finished as watercolours. On one hand, his artisanal background linked him to tradition, while on the other hand his artistic temperament sought new and boundarybreaking paths in the search for the perfect chair.
This book showcases his watercolours in thematic chapters and delves into the artistic dimension of selected chairs by one of the 20th century’s greatest furniture designers.

Calligraphy means ‘the art of writing beautifully’. Driven by its use in the Koran, artfully executed Arabic script became a key religious and political marker at a very early stage; since then calligraphy has played a central role in the Islamic world.
In addition to appearing on paper, artful writing can be found on everything, from coins, weapons, dishes, lamps and textiles to the façades and interiors of buildings. The many types of texts offer rich and varied insights into Islamic art, culture and societies.
BeyondWords presents 128 objects featuring calligraphy, most notably from The David Collection. In addition, the book contains articles on such subjects as the Arabic alphabet, classical scripts, the calligraphers and the different types of texts. The publication also explores the use of Arabic lettering in earlier European art and in modern-day Arabic graffiti.

In the spring of 2024, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art presents Scandinavia’s first solo exhibition of one of Britain’s most renowned artists. In his monumental and spectacular installations, Anish Kapoor explores the tension between mass and emptiness, between what can be seen and what cannot. This is evident when he invites viewers to let their gaze disappear into his ‘black holes’ – the paradoxical manifestation of invisibility that fundamentally challenges the experience of the spectator. Kapoor’s works evoke both awe and a sense of disquiet; they are often executed on a very large scale and are extremely physical and present.
The richly illustrated exhibition catalogue delves into Anish Kapoor’s work through selected pieces and texts, opening up a wide range of philosophical, poetic, physical and existential questions.

Tal R Painting
Pernille Albrethsen
The first comprehensive book on Danish artist Tal R’s multi-faceted painting practice from the 1990s to the present
Inuuteq Storch
Louise Wolthers
The Danish representative at the Venice Biennale 2024
For more than 25 years, Tal R (b. 1967) has been an unmissable figure on the Danish art scene. TalRPainting is the first comprehensive presentation of his multifaceted painting practice from the 1990s to the present, for which he has been internationally recognised as an innovative force in figurative painting.
The book is based on a series of conversations between the artist and the author, Pernille Albrethsen, structured around so-called ‘families’, a term used by Tal R to describe his series of painterly concepts. The book’s nine chapters follow nine such families. In addition, there is an introductory essay on Tal R’s painting in an arthistorical context, especially focusing on how it emerged from the 1990s Copenhagen art scene.
Pernille Albrethsen is an art critic and writer for Kunstkrittik, the leading Nordic journal of contemporary art.

Greenland’s history has been narrated for decades through images captured by outsiders. This is something artist and photographer Inuuteq Storch aims to change. Since childhood, he has documented his homeland and the lives of Greenlanders, using found photographic materials such as family photos and historical records, which gain new relevance in combination with Storch’s contemporary photos of everyday life in Greenland. In 2024, Storch, as the first artist from the North Atlantic part of the Danish Realm, will represent Denmark at one of the world’s most prestigious art exhibitions, the Venice Biennale.

Catz
Kural
An in-depth exploration of the iconic St. Catherine’s College in Oxford by Arne Jacobsen.
Arne Jacobsen has designed numerous buildings of worldclass calibre, but in his later years, the architect revealed that if he had to choose just one of his works, it would be St. Catherine’s College. Completed in 1964, it stands as Oxford’s youngest college. Commonly referred to as St. Catz – or simply Catz.
The architecture at that time led a rejuvenation process that, in the following years, influenced the entire United Kingdom stylistically, morally, and economically. The book delves into the architecture and the surrounding park, recounting the stories of the students who have lived and continue to live there today. The masterpiece Catz is illuminated through untold, forgotten, or overlooked narratives, drawings, and photos as a supplement to architect photographer Rasmus Hjortshøj’s comprehensive documentation – inside, outside, night, day, with and without people.

John Kasmin, known to all simply as Kasmin, was the most important dealer in contemporary art in Britain in the 1960s. At the eponymous Kasmin Gallery on New Bond Street, he worked with many of the leading British and American artists of the day, notably Barnett Newman, Helen Frankenthaler, Frank Stella, Robyn Denny, Gillian Ayres, Howard Hodgkin and David Hockney. In the process, he transformed the London art world and became almost as recognized as his gallery artists. Less well known is that Kasmin was also a trained photographer, having started his working life as an assistant to the celebrated portrait photographer Ida Kar. Throughout his life he has always carried his camera with him, constantly photographing – and being photographed with – his bohemian artist and writer friends and family members. This remarkable book is the first time he has shown a collection of intimate and private photographs. We see Newman, Frankenthaler and others in their studio; we join Hockney as he travels, works and holidays with Kasmin and their shared circle. We follow Kasmin as he and his close friend the travel writer Bruce Chatwin voyage to Africa and the Caribbean. Each image, whether a posed portrait or a hastily grabbed snapshot, reveals something new, something private about some of the best known names in postwar art and the world in which they lived and worked. Art historian and curator Chris Stephens writes about Kasmin’s circle of artists and friends in the 1960s and 1970s, while his long-time friend Judith Goldman writes a more personal account of Kasmin and his life.

SANAA in Sydney
New architecture for the Art Gallery of New South Wales
Edited by Michael Brand Foreword by Juhani Pallasmaa
Celebrating SANAA’s new building for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, with photography by Iwan Baan.
From its origins as an abbey and a place of religious sanctuary founded in 1128, to its role in the infamous murder of David Rizzio in the bedchamber of Mary, Queen of Scots, the early history of the palace and its grounds covers uncharted territory as well as shedding light on well-known stories. James V’s lost Renaissance palace is reimagined using specially commissioned archaeological plans. Almost completely rebuilt in the 1670s, the sumptuous baroque interiors were designed to represent the monarch in Scotland and emphasise Edinburgh’s royal and government role. The unlikely residence of a Jacobite court, a Russian Princess, and even a few lions, the Palace later served as a family home to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on their regular visits to Balmoral.
Deborah Clarke is an independent curator and author. She was previously Senior Curator at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Royal Collection Trust.

This important new book celebrates the design of SANAA’s new building for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney led by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa.
The building is the culmination of a decade-long vision – the Sydney Modern Project – to transform a 152-year-old public institution into an art museum campus with a seamless connection between art, architecture and landscape. It is Australia’s newest and most significant cultural landmark of the 21st century.
Richly illustrated, SANAAinSydney takes readers behind the scenes of this ambitious project – from the international architecture competition, through the design and construction process, to the building’s opening – and offers reflections on its built form and engagement with art, people and the environment.
Michael Brand is the director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, where he has led the transformation and expansion of the institution through the Sydney Modern Project.
Juhani Pallasmaa is a distinguished architect and professor emeritus based in Helsinki.

TheMagicRing is a traditional folk tale that was rewritten by the writer Boris Shergin in the 1930s. Translator Sian Valvis has translated and adapted the text, written in Pomor, a northern Russian dialect that survived despite attempts to suppress it during the Soviet period. Creating her own version by mixing northern English dialect with ingenious neologisms and rhyme, Sian retains the strongly regional flavour of the original and its madcap, anarchic feel while making it accessible and entertaining for children and adult readers alike.
A peasant boy, Vanya, comes across a magic ring which grants him wishes. To marry the tsar’s daughter he must build a bridge connecting the palace with his village, and this he does with the help of the ring. The princess tricks him into sharing the secret of the ring, and uses it to transport herself to Paris and her lover. Through the initiative of Snowy the dog and Mashka the cat, the ring is retrieved and all ends well.
