A Bigger Message Conversations with David Hockney Martin Gayford Martin Gayford is chief art critic for Bloomberg News.

He is the author of many acclaimed books, including The Yellow House and Man with a Blue Scarf.

110 illustrations, 106 in colour 22.9 x 15.2cm 248pp ISBN 978 0 500 238875 October

£18.95

A sure besteller, and destined to become a classic to rank alongside David Sylvester’s Interviews with Francis Bacon David Hockney’s exuberant work is highly praised and widely loved, but he is also something else: an incisive and original thinker on art. In this remarkable book, a record of a decade of private conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, Hockney reveals via reflection, anecdote, passion and humour the fruits of his lifelong meditations on art and the act of creation.

These conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations from both parties on numerous other artists – Van Gogh or Vermeer, Caravaggio, Monet or Picasso – and enlivened by shrewd insights into the contrasting landscapes of California, where Hockney spent so many years, and Yorkshire, the birthplace to which he has returned. Some of the diverse people he has encountered along the way – from Henri Cartier-Bresson to Billy Wilder – make entertaining entries into the dialogue.

A unique and fascinating self-portrait of one of the most celebrated and influential British artists of all time, A Bigger Message is set to become a classic exploration into the nature of creativity.

‘Hockney’s usual brilliant eye for colour is ever-present’ The Times

David Hockney’s Dog Days New in paperback David Hockney’s conversations with Martin Gayford, A Bigger Message, are also published by Thames & Hudson this autumn (see previous page).

David Hockney The perfect gift for Hockney fans and dog lovers everywhere, now available in paperback: an affectionate album devoted to two of his closest companions ‘These two dear little creatures are my friends. They are intelligent, loving, comical, and often bored. They watch me work; I notice the warm shapes they make together, their sadness and their delights’ David Hockney David Hockney’s subject matter has often featured his everyday surroundings and friends, among them his companions Stanley and Boodgie. Born from sharp observation, and affection, the delightful bravura paintings featured on these pages are not only a tribute to two dogs whose tranquil lives, like most, are dominated by food and love, but are also masterful painterly depictions. A text by the artist himself gives a behindthe-scenes glimpse of how to work with models who don’t necessarily want to sit still. Hockney has provided additional drawings made specially on the page, and has been largely involved in the layout of the book, creating a charming and unified whole.

de Kooning: A Retrospective John Elderfield John Elderfield is Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Over 500 colour illustrations 30.5 x 24.0cm 488pp ISBN 978 0 500 093634 November

£48.00

The most comprehensive survey to date of Willem de Kooning’s artistic career Published in conjunction with the large-scale, all-medium, posthumous retrospective of Willem de Kooning’s career at The Museum of Modern Art, this book offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the development of the artist’s work as it unfolds over nearly seven decades. Representing nearly every type of work de Kooning made, in both technique and subject matter, this retrospective includes paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints. Among these are the artist’s most famous, landmark paintings – among them Pink Angels, Excavation and the celebrated third Woman series – plus in-depth presentations of all his most important series, ranging from his figurative paintings of the early 1940s to the black-andwhite compositions of 1948–49, and from the urban abstractions of the mid 1950s to the artist’s return to figuration in the 1960s and the large gestural abstractions of the following decade. Also included is de Kooning’s famous yet largely unseen theatrical backdrop, the 17-foot-square Labyrinth (1946). With lavish, full colour documentation, this volume is the most complete account of de Kooning’s career ever published.

Graffiti and Street Art World of Art Anna Wacławek began researching graffiti and street art in the late 1990s, travelling extensively around the world to conduct first-hand analysis.

She currently works at Concordia University, Montreal, in the Department of Art History.

Anna Wacławek The first complete survey of arguably the defining art movement of the early 21st century – essential reading for all students and lovers of street art The latest title in Thames & Hudson’s renowned World of Art series is set to become the definitive popular guide to graffiti and street art. The traditional letter-based graffiti that appeared on the streets of Philadelphia and New York over forty years ago launched a global art movement that has evolved into two distinct disciplines. While both thrive illegally and challenge the concept of public space, the new wave of street art puts greater emphasis on figures, abstraction, symbols and formal techniques.

This book explains the terms and language of graffiti and street art – from tags and throwies to culture jamming and subvertising – as well as their multiple influences and sub-genres. Organized thematically, it traces the origins and evolution of graffiti and street art, and explores the motivations and practices of the leading exponents; the relationship between these art forms and the urban environment; their interactions with (or rejection of) the market and the world of commercial galleries; and their increasingly important role in visual culture as a whole.

A Critical History Stephen F. Eisenman with Thomas Crow, Brian Lukacher, Linda Nochlin, David Llewellyn Phillips and Frances K. Pohl A new, expanded edition of the most widely adopted and highly regarded art-historical survey of 19th-century art in the field Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History was the first to embrace many aspects of the so-called ‘new’ art history, paying close attention to issues of class and gender, reception and spectatorship, racism and Eurocentrism, popular and élite culture, and the question of the canon, while at the same time recovering the remarkable vitality, salience and subversiveness of the 19th century’s best art.

This edition includes five revised chapters, comprising ‘Old World, New World: The Encounter of Cultures on the American Frontier’, ‘Black and White in America’, ‘Architecture and Design in the Age of Industry’ and ‘Manet and the Impressionists’, together with a substantially expanded chapter on ‘Photography, Modernity and Art’.

Degas and the Nude George T. M. Shackelford and Xavier Rey With contributions

by Lucian Freud, Martin Gayford and Anne Roquebert George T. M. Shackelford is Chair of the Art of Europe at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Xavier Rey is Conservateur Peinture at the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

226 colour illustrations 27.3 x 24.7cm 336pp ISBN 978 0 500 093627 November

£42.00

A celebration of over half a century of virtuoso achievement The nude figure was critical to the art of Edgar Degas throughout his life, and yet his expansive body of work on this subject has been overshadowed by his celebrated portraits and dancers. Degas and the Nude is the first book in a generation to explore the artist’s treatment of the nude from his early years all the way to his last decades, when the theme dominated his artistic production in all media. Essays by leading critics explore how Degas exploited all of the body’s expressive possibilities, how his vision of the nude informed his notion of modernity, and how he abandoned the classical form in favour of a figure seen in her own time and setting – whether engaged in shockingly carnal acts or just stepping out of a bath.

Nearly 230 lushly rendered images present a re-seeing of Degas’s subject in paintings, pastels, drawings, prints and sculpture. Among them are the most important of Degas’s early paintings, Scene of War in the Middle Ages, as well as monotypes of the late 1870s, which illustrate Degas’ most explicitly sexual depictions of women in Parisian brothels; and pictures portraying the daily life of women wherever they resided.

Andy Goldsworthy Newly available again after some years out of print, this is a poignantly beautiful collection of photographs of Andy Goldsworthy’s creative engagement with stone This visually spectacular book brings together work made by Andy Goldsworthy in Britain, France, the United States, Australia and Japan between 1990 and 1993. It includes works that involved not only stone of various kinds – slate, limestone, sandstone, river boulders – but also leaves, flowers, sand, clay and scrap steel. A riverside slab of rock in St Louis, Missouri, glows with the colours of autumn leaves, and is cradled in a nest of branches; in a forest in the Lake District, a wall snakes its way through the trees; sandstone arches progress across the floor of a Dumfriesshire quarry; a dead tree in the Australian outback is miraculously clothed in rust-red stone…

Stone: Andy Goldsworthy offers a special opportunity to appreciate the breadth of the artist’s output and to understand more about this exceptionally talented sculptor whose work is accorded worldwide recognition.

Gerhard Richter – Atlas Available again Helmut Friedel is the author of The Blue Rider, Franz Marc: The Retrospective and Kandinsky: Complete Prints.

Publication coincides with the major exhibition ‘Panorama’, which opens at Tate Modern in October 2011 before going to the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in 2012.

Illustrated in colour throughout 21.5 x 16.5cm 864pp ISBN 978 0 500 238905 October

£28.00 12 Art

Introduction by Helmut Friedel Maps the ideas, processes, life and times of one of the most important painters at work in the world today From pictures of family and friends to images from the mass media, Gerhard Richter’s photographs – sometimes found, sometimes his own work – have provided the basis for many of his paintings. These images re-emerge in a luminous, monochrome palette falling ambiguously between documentary and history painting.

Gerhard Richter – Atlas, now available again to coincide with this autumn’s major exhibition at Tate Modern, juxtaposes key paintings from defining moments of his career alongside their inspiration and source, thereby revealing the mind of an artist sifting through his material – selecting, marking and altering images then transferring them onto canvas.

Over 5,000 photographs, drawings and diagrams offer an extraordinary insight into Richter’s working process. The encyclopaedic range of Atlas can also be seen as a reflection of recent German history, from the ‘unpaintable’ photographs of the concentration camps to images of the Baader Meinhof group to a commission to inaugurate a new Reichstag for a united Germany.

A monograph on the collaborative artist couple whose work in bronze, Powerless Structures, Fig 101, will adorn the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2012 Throughout their career, Elmgreen & Dragset have redefined the ways in which art is presented and experienced. In 2006, their ‘Welfare Show’ at the Serpentine Gallery invited viewers to consider societal power structures, including economic disparity, health care, immigration, travel, prostitution, the police state and the role art plays in society. The duo were awarded Special Mention at the 2009 Venice Biennale for ‘The Collectors’, their highly elaborate and widely acclaimed exhibition for the Danish and Nordic Pavilions, while their 2011 work ‘Celebrity: The One and the Many’ addresses rumour-mongering, life in the public eye, the machinations of the media and its formation of myths.

These projects are documented here in scores of colour illustrations, showing how the artists’ sculptures and installations reconfigure the familiar with characteristic wit and subversive humour. The book also includes interviews with the duo and with French philosopher Paul Virilio.

The first comprehensive monograph on the work of leading British artist Mark Wallinger This profusely illustrated book surveys the complete career of Mark Wallinger (b.1959), whose subtle intelligence and deft humour have brought him international acclaim. One of the key artists of his generation, Wallinger has produced paintings, photographs, sculptures, videos and installations variously engaged with issues of class, politics, history, religion and identity.

Organized chronologically, this richly illustrated study charts Wallinger’s work over the last thirty years, giving vital insights into his practice, thinking and working methods. Drawing on extensive interviews with the artist, it moves from Wallinger’s early work, with its witty response to social and institutional structures such as sport and royalty, to his most recent pieces exploring mortality, ethics and belief. Alongside a biography, full exhibition history and further reading section are a selection of Wallinger’s published and unpublished writings and his unrealized projects, many of them never before seen.

Executive Editor Jo Vickery

A comprehensive survey of Russian contemporary art from the 1970s onwards Russia has undergone an amazing cultural and political transformation over the past forty years. How has its rapidly changing social landscape shaped its art? And how does art effect social and cultural change within Russia?

This generously illustrated volume explores these questions by presenting a broad but balanced selection of work by eighty Russian artists working from the 1970s to the present day. It features many newcomers, including Alexei Kallima, Kerim Ragimov and Olga Chernysheva alongside such well-established names as Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Eric Bulatov, Boris Mikhailov and AES+F. Before Perestroika, artistic practice was either ‘official’ or ‘unofficial’; Frozen Dreams focuses on the ‘unofficial’ art of the Communist era, many of whose creators fled to the West.

With more than 600 colour illustrations, perceptive interviews, in-depth profiles and three essays by leading scholars and collectors, Frozen Dreams will be an essential guide to a hitherto neglected area and an up-to-theminute cultural portrait of an exciting artistic arena.

£39.95 18 Art

‘Without photography, much of Rauschenberg’s oeuvre would not exist’ Walter Hopps Robert Rauschenberg’s engagement with photography began in the late 1940s during his time at Black Mountain College in North Carolina; for a while, in fact, he was unsure whether to pursue painting or photography as a career. Instead he chose both. He found ways to fold photography into his renowned ‘Combines’ series, and maintained a practice of photographing friends and family, documenting the evolution of works and occasionally dramatizing them by inserting himself into the picture frame.

This volume gathers and surveys Rauschenberg’s uses of photography for the first time. It includes portraits of friends such as Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Merce Cunningham and John Cage, studio shots, photographs used in the ‘Combines’, silkscreens, photographs of lost works and works in process, allowing us to re-imagine almost the entirety of the artist’s work in light of his always inventive uses of photography, while also supplying previously unseen glimpses into his social nexus of the 1950s and ‘60s.

Josef Koudelka

Text by Will Guy

Josef Koudelka’s classic and highly sought-after book, available again with new photos and an updated essay This book is a revised and enlarged version of the original maquette for Josef Koudelka’s book Cikáni (Czech for Gypsies), prepared by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kopriva in 1968, and intended for publication in Prague in 1970. However, Koudelka left Czechoslovakia in 1970, and the book was never published in that original form.

This extended version consists of 109 photographs taken between 1962 and 1971 in what was Czechoslovakia (Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia), Romania, Hungary, France and Spain. Koudelka’s stark images depict the poverty and clannishness of Gypsy life, but he does not present their situation as a social problem that should somehow be fixed. Instead, he shows the Gypsies as perpetual outsiders, and their lives as a primal mix of glee and wonder, sorrow and mystery.

Sociologist Will Guy, author of the text that accompanied the first publication of Gypsies, has contributed an updated essay, tracing the migration of the Roma from their original homeland in northern India, to their current status – one that continues to be contested internationally.

Powerful, meditative, psychologically intense: a compelling survey of photographs taken in the wake of dramatic events Afterwards presents work from leading contemporary photographers, with each body of work in a self-contained sequence of images, analogous to the rooms of an exhibition. It features over 30 photographers, including Robert Polidori, Suzanne Opton, Raphaël Dallaporta and Taryn Simon, inviting the viewer to contemplate the aftermath of events that have taken place over sixty years of modern history – the Srebrenica massacre, human trafficking and slave labour, the Hiroshima bombing, the Holocaust, 9/11 and various natural disasters – and get a sense of the physical and emotional scars they left behind.

Accompanied by essays on cognitive responses to photographs, the ability to see and empathize, the nature of trauma and the meaning of ‘stigmata’, Afterwards shows the possibility for contemporary photography to question what happens in the world, its potential to connect us with our fellow humans, and to provide us with an opportunity, in time, to begin to understand and find answers.

Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren A huge cult success in hardback, the book that proved that street photography is back, and which was championed by practitioners around the world Get up close and personal with the world’s best street photographers as they capture the drama of everyday life at ¼125 of a second. Prowl pavements and back alleys, encountering comic absurdities, small acts of kindness and scenes of unexpected beauty; let your eye be caught by a witty billboard, a woman dressed as an angel, a businessman sprinting through the crowd: the human carnival is in town and the streets are alive.

The photography book of 2011 Few photography books can lay claim to being truly groundbreaking. This is one of them. Presenting a remarkable selection of contact sheets and ancillary material, it reveals for the first time how Magnum photographers capture and edit the very best shots. It addresses key questions of photographic practice: was the final image a set-up, or a serendipitous encounter? Did the photographer work diligently to extract the potential from a situation, or was the fabled ‘decisive moment’ at play? The answers reveal the creative methods, strategies and editing processes behind some of the world’s most iconic images.

139 contact sheets, representing 69 photographers, are featured, as well as details, press cards, notebooks and magazine spreads. Further insight into each sheet is provided by texts written by the photographers themselves or by experts chosen by members’ estates. This landmark book, published just as the shift to digital photography threatens to destroy the indefinable and lasting magic of the contact sheet, is a fascinating way of accompanying great photographers as they work towards, and capture, the most enduring images of our time.

The Unseen Eye Photographs from the Unconscious W. M. Hunt Introduction by William A. Ewing W. M. Hunt is a renowned photography collector and dealer. He is based in New York, where he also teaches at the School of Visual Arts.

William A. Ewing is Director of the Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne, Switzerland.

£36.00

A haunting collection of photographs assembled around an original and compelling theme This unusual collection of photographs has a common theme: the gaze of the subject is averted, the face obscured or the eyes firmly closed. They range from André Breton’s self-portrait to Ruth Snyder in the electric chair in 1928, from Weegee’s multi-image portrait of Andy Warhol in sunglasses to Robert Mapplethorpe’s photograph of the artist Alice Neel.

W. M. Hunt’s selection includes many works by famous practitioners, among them Nadar, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Philip Jones Griffiths, Annie Leibovitz and Martin Parr, and also photographs taken by anonymous figures from the mid-19th century to the present day. Running through the book is Hunt’s commentary, in which he offers his own intense and perceptive responses to the images, as well as insights into the psychology of collecting. This book not only gives us a new perspective on the work of many of the greatest names in photography, but it is also an original and revealing picture of humanity, with all the associated nuances of memory, wit, eroticism, fear, grief and horror.

Perfect bedtime reading: a beautifully illustrated, entertaining caper that introduces the wonder of words and the magic of storytelling to children aged 4 and over ‘Welcome to a very secret world. Not many people know this, but inside a special, little red postbox in London, close to Big Ben, there exists a top secret department. It is so top secret that only the Queen of England, her Prime Minister, Spies and Cats know about it. And now you…’

This book introduces us to ‘The Ministry of Letters’ – the place where all the letters and all the words in the world are created – by recounting the legendary tale of ‘Operation Alphabet’. The star of the story is five-year-old Charlie Foxtrot, who has just started school and is finding it hard to master the alphabet. The members of the Ministry’s ‘Special Alphabet Service’ (SAS) set off to Scotland to find Charlie and teach him, by song and rhyme, the alphabet and the joy to be found in letters and words. They succeed – he goes to school the next day and gets full marks in a test. The world lives happily ever after. And you can’t say better than that.

Tantric Wall Paintings from Tibet Ian A. Baker Photographs by Thomas Laird Introduction by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet The mesmerising Lukhang Temple murals are beautifully reproduced in this landmark volume, which is now available in paperback On a willow-covered island behind Tibet’s Potala Palace is a small pagodaroofed Khang, or temple, a place reserved exclusively for the Dalai Lamas as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat. During the brief reign of the Sixth Dalai Lama, who built the Lukhang Temple in the 18th century for his most private activities, unknown artists created a series of mysterious paintings on its chapel walls; comparable in quality and ambition to the Sistine Chapel in Rome, these masterpieces of Tibetan art are superbly reproduced here in this extraordinary publication, which is now available in paperback.

The vivid detail, rich colour and awe-inspiring impact of this treasure of Tibetan Buddhist spirituality can now be experienced outside the Lukhang Temple by one and all.

An inspiring compendium of seventy essays that trace the global development of medical knowledge and practice Great Discoveries in Medicine provides an unrivalled account of the evolution of medical knowledge and practice from ancient Egypt, India and China to today’s latest technology, from letting blood to keyhole surgery, from the theory of humours to the genetic revolution, from the stethoscope to the MRI scanner. An international team of distinguished experts explains medicine’s turning points and conceptual changes in a refreshingly accessible way and answers some key questions. How has the plague influenced the course of human history? What effect did the pill have on the lives of women, and on society as a whole? How exactly are diseased hearts and worn-out hips replaced? And how did an audacious self-experiment lead to a cure for stomach ulcers and a Nobel Prize? The book is magnificently illustrated throughout with a unique array of pictures and photographs, from Islamic manuscripts and Renaissance anatomical drawings to the very latest computer-generated images of viruses.

This timely volume is the best guide ever published to medicine’s achievements and its prospects for the 21st century.

Pasta by Design George L. Legendre George L. Legendre is a partner at IJP Architects in London.

George, whose design was shortlisted for the MoMA PS1 pavilion competition 2011, is currently guest-editing a special issue of AD Magazine on ‘The Mathematics of Sensible Things’.

189 illustrations, 93 in colour 23.0 x 19.0cm 208pp inc 8pp gatefold ISBN 978 0 500 515808 September

A cult food and design book on the world’s most popular food This is not a cookbook; this is an entirely fresh and idiosyncratic look at that most ubiquitous of foodstuffs, pasta. Architect George L. Legendre has profiled 92 different kinds of pasta, classifying them into types using the science of ‘phylogeny’ (the study of relatedness among natural forms).

Opening the book is a pasta family tree that reveals unexpected relationships between pasta shapes. Each subsequent spread is devoted to a single pasta, and features a short text that explains the food’s geographical origin, its process of manufacture as well as its etymology – alongside suggestions for minute-perfect preparation. Next the pasta shape is rendered as both a mathematical equation and a line diagram that displays every distinctive scrunch, ridge and crimp with loving precision.

Photographs by Stefano Graziani complement these meticulous renderings.

Finally, a gatefold features a ‘Pasta Family Reunion’ diagram, reassembling the pasta types and grouping them by their mathematical and geometric properties.

You may think you know pasta; but you have never seen pasta like this.

A new book from a writer hailed by the Observer as ‘stunningly well-informed and compulsively allusive’ ‘Peter Conrad is the writer who has helped me most to understand the nature of opera’ John Mortimer Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner, the two greatest operatic composers of their time, had everything and nothing in common. Their achievements were comparable, but their personalities, their approaches to music and drama, and their complex legacies made them incompatible. Verdi thought of art as a comfort to mankind; it pleased Wagner to believe that the nervous intensity of his operas might drive listeners mad. Is it impossible – as Peter Conrad asks in this book, the first to investigate their affinities and explain their mutual mistrust – to love them both?

These equally matched Titans offer us a choice between two kinds of art, two ways of life, two opposed philosophies of existence. During their lifetimes Verdi and Wagner helped to define the identity of their emerging nations; their music still dramatizes the light and dark sides of every human being’s character and consciousness.

Memoirs of a Russian Lady before the Revolution Mariamna Davydoff Selected and edited by Olga Davydoff Dax A unique memoir of rural Russia before the Revolution Mariamna Davydoff, the Russian lady who wrote and illustrated this memoir, was born in 1871. It was after she fled Russia for France in 1919 that she set down her detailed recollections and painted the accompanying watercolours. She did this mainly to enlighten one of her granddaughters about the family’s life in the last decades of Tsarist Russia.

The result is a first-hand account of a way of life that we’ve known mainly through the writings of Chekhov and Turgenev. Here are the country estates, the large families indulging in sports and pastimes, the Easter and Christmas holidays, the heat of summer and the frost of winter. Mariamna Davydoff had studied painting and made something of a reputation as a caricaturist, but when she fled from Russia she had to leave behind all her watercolours and drawings. These were destroyed by the Bolsheviks, but the portfolios she created in France are fortunately intact. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in 19th-century Russian history, art or literature, or simply in the deeply human story of our recent but irretrievable past.

Virginia Woolf Alexandra Harris Alexandra Harris was educated at the University of Oxford and the Courtauld Institute, London, and is currently Lecturer in English at the University of Liverpool.

46 illustrations 21.5 x 13.5cm 192pp ISBN 978 0 500 515921 October

£14.95

The second book by a young cultural historian who is fluent, original and wonderfully engaging Alexandra Harris’s hugely acclaimed Romantic Moderns, winner of the 2010 Guardian First Book Award, overturned our picture of modernist culture during the interwar years. Now, in her second book, she brings her attention to one of the towering figures of literary modernism.

In this gripping new account of the life and work of Virginia Woolf, Alexandra Harris uses vivid flashes of detail to evoke Woolf’s changing preoccupations. We move from the close-packed rhythms of a Victorian childhood to the experiments of ‘Bloomsbury’. We see her ‘drawn on and on’ to tackle ever more challenging forms of writing. Harris considers each of the novels in context, traces the course of Woolf’s ‘afterlife’, and shows why, seventy years after her death, she continues to haunt and inspire us.

In 1907, aged twenty-five, Virginia Stephen felt herself to be at a crossroads: ‘I shall be miserable, or happy; a wordy sentimental creature, or a writer of such English as shall one day burn the pages.’ Virginia Woolf’s prose is still blazing, as this superbly written introduction will encourage a new generation to discover for themselves.

The Last Colonial Curious Adventures & Stories from a Vanishing World Christopher Ondaatje Introduction by Michael Holroyd Illustrations by Ana Maria Pacheco Christopher Ondaatje is the author of nine books, including the bestselling Burton biographies Sindh Revisited and Journey to the Source of the Nile. He was knighted in 2003.

An autobiography in essays that conjures up a truly unique portrait of a world that is fast disappearing Christopher Ondaatje is a true child of the British Empire. Born in Ceylon in 1933 and brought up on a tea plantation, he was sent as a teenager to boarding school in England. But soon after Ceylon was granted its independence in 1948, his family found themselves destitute, and the young Ondaatje left school and got a job. From these beginnings there followed a series of commercial triumphs until 1988 when he abruptly abandoned high finance at the peak of his career and reinvented himself as an explorer and an author, focusing mainly on the colonial period.

It is the curious encounters behind these often precarious adventures that make up this book. The stories tell of Ondaatje’s childhood days, his early life in Canada, his fascination with inexplicable events and local superstitions, and his sometimes perilous travels researching his acclaimed biographies. Illustrated throughout with original images by Ana Maria Pacheco, The Last Colonial lives up to the romance of its tantalizing title.

An engaging, informed and superbly illustrated compendium of 94 notable men and women who shaped and experienced one of the most creative and inventive periods in human civilization Like every era, the Renaissance brims with stories. In this book, Robert Davis and Beth Lindsmith highlight dozens of notable lives from between 1400 and 1600. Some names are famous – Leonardo, Luther, Medici and Machiavelli all feature – but many others will be new to general readers.

They include the aristocratic matriarch Alessandra Strozzi, who sneaked around Florence to spy on potential brides for her sons, and the notorious criminal Catena, who wasn’t satisfied with murdering his enemy, but also hamstrung his victim’s goats. The Inquisition’s Heinrich Kramer even insisted that witches could remove men’s penises and hide them in birds’ nests.

Introductory passages explore the question of what the Renaissance was, and outline the drama of unfolding events, offering readers a contextualizing backdrop for the individual stories. These brief biographies remind us that history is more than dates and abstract concepts: it also arises from the lives of countless individual men and women.

The Cold War Michael F. Hopkins Michael F. Hopkins is a lecturer in the School of History at the University of Liverpool and a leading authority on the Cold War.

Surveys the origins, development, resolution and ongoing legacies of the Cold War The Cold War was the dominant feature of international relations in the second half of the 20th century. A geopolitical contest between the United States and its allies on one side, and the Soviet Union, China and their associates on the other, it was about power and military competition, but it was also an ideological struggle between two political and economic systems. Nuclear weapons meant that this rivalry could not escalate to general war without the risk of global oblivion. Crises arose and proxy conflicts occurred, sometimes resulting – as in Korea and Vietnam – in large-scale death tolls. In the main, however, confrontation took the form of a battle for hearts and minds both between and within societies.

Coinciding with a new era of mass communications, the war was conducted through propaganda campaigns in books, newspapers, radio, newsreels, cinema and, later, television.

Charting the rise and fall of almost fifty years of global confrontation, this highly visual book highlights the impact of the conflict on the culture of the times, bringing home the reality of life in the shadow of the Bomb.

Charts the era that saw the Earth mapped, parcelled up, looted and re-imagined In the three decades between 1492 and 1522, European merchants and explorers progressed from relative ignorance about the shape of the globe to knowledge of an atlas that was almost complete. They did so in search of spices, gold, silver and slaves, but with rudimentary technology, huge courage and boundless confidence in themselves and their calculations.

The resulting exchange of flora, fauna, diet, disease and culture changed the world within a few generations. The final touches to the world map of oceans and continents (barring Antarctica) came two-and-a-half centuries later with the voyages of James Cook.

David Boyle describes these crucial years of European maritime exploration through the stories of the dramatic encounters between civilizations that characterized the journeys. At most of these strange meetings, neither side possessed enough knowledge of the world to understand the other, and many involved brutality; some of them resulted in genocide, but – just occasionally – there were glimmerings of hope for the future.

The Empire of Death A Cultural History of Ossuaries and Charnel Houses Paul Koudounaris Paul Koudounaris has a doctorate in Art History from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has written widely on ossuaries and charnel houses, and visited and photographed over seventy sites in nearly twenty countries in the course of writing this book.

A shocking yet deeply moving memento mori for the modern age Beginning in the early modern period and continuing to the 19th century, an astonishing range of elaborately decorated charnels, tombs and chapels was constructed with a focus of human bone. The morbid elegance of these sites is puzzling to modern eyes; pushed into the footnotes of history, these sacred collections of human remains were once part of a dialogue with death that has long since fallen silent.

Paul Koudounaris revives this ancient dialogue as he takes the reader on an unprecedented international tour of these macabre devotional masterpieces. The sites range from the crypts of the Capuchin monasteries in Italy and the skull-encrusted columns of the ossuary in Évora in Portugal, to the virtually unknown tomb of a 1960s wealthy Peruvian nobleman, decorated with the exhumed skeletons of his Spanish ancestors.

Koudounaris’s arresting photographs, together with a commentary researched from a multitude of sources, challenge our modern perception of death as something to be feared. Instead, the accumulated bones of generations past offer an opportunity to affirm life.

Popular military history at its best: twenty tales of ingenious tactics, dogged determination and extraordinary courage What is it that compels people to fight, endure and perhaps emerge victorious, though all the odds may be against them? This book illustrates the characteristics of success through twenty examples, revealing both the common themes and the exceptional aspects of those achievements.

Outnumbered, Outgunned, Undeterred ranges across the globe, from George Washington’s rebuilding of the Patriot army in the American War of Independence to the defence of the Philippines in 1941–42, and from Simón Bolívar’s liberation of South America to Finland’s defiance of the Soviet Union in 1939–40. The Battle of Debecka Pass in Iraq in 2003 and the Battle of Wanat in Afghanistan in 2008 show that some themes from these singular historic achievements are still played out in warfare today.

Rob Johnson analyses each of the examples and shows, through vivid narratives and specially commissioned battle plans, how they provided inspiration both at the time and since – proof that whatever the odds, fortune favours the brave.

Revealing the Mysteries of Turkey’s Ancient ‘Town’ Ian Hodder New in paperback, a brilliantly argued, first-hand account of the author’s major discovieres at the renowned archaeological site The Neolithic mound of Çatalhöyük, in central Turkey, shot to international fame in the 1960s with the excavation of an ancient ‘town’ there – at 9,000 years old one of the earliest in the world – along with wonderful wall paintings and sculptures, often featuring images of leopards. In the early 1990s, Ian Hodder initiated a new and ongoing campaign of research at the site; this book tells the story of the incredible advances made so far.

The reader is led gradually into the elaborate social and symbolic world of the Çatalhöyük people. Hodder peels back layers of history to reveal how they lived and died, engaged with one another and their environment and with the spirit world. The leopard comes to be seen as a powerful supernatural component in the town’s intricate human interactions, such as hunting, feasting and prowess displays. Çatalhöyük: The Leopard’s Tale is a tour de force of archaeological writing, a dynamic first-hand account full of insights, and superbly illustrated with images of the art, the artifacts and the excavations at this world-famous dig.

A brand-new approach to looking at Maya art – indispensable for anyone interested in the fast-moving field of Maya studies The art of the ancient Maya may be considered their most singular cultural achievement. Decorated objects, ranging from painted vases and carved jade and shell ornaments to towering stone monuments and building façades, bear the traces of a symbol system that, while fascinating, can make an understanding of these images elusive to the uninitiated.

Presented here for the first time is a compendium of one hundred hieroglyphs that are also building blocks of ancient Maya painting and sculpture. Organized thematically, the symbols touch on many facets of the Maya world, from the natural environment to the mental landscape of gods, myths and rituals. Using hundreds of line drawings and photographs, the authors show how to identify these signs, understand their meaning, and appreciate the ways they appear in art. As well as providing a basic introduction, the authors offer many new and exciting interpretations.

This groundbreaking guide will prove an invaluable tool for those wishing to see Maya art through the eyes of ancient scribes and artists.

Among his other books is Exploring the World of the Celts, also published by Thames & Hudson.

£18.95

A groundbreaking study that integrates military theory with historical account to explore the formidable Roman military Today Rome’s military is admired as guardian of a brilliant civilization, or reviled as a brutal instrument of imperialism. The story of Rome and the sword seems a familiar one; yet it is a modern myth obscuring a very different reality. As this gripping history demonstrates, Rome’s military was no ‘war machine’ made up of mindless cogs. There was not even a term for ‘the Roman Army’; rather, Romans spoke of ‘soldiers’ – of men, not institutions.

Rome & the Sword provides a striking new ‘bottom-up’ perspective on Roman history, focusing on soldiers and their actions. This powerful narrative sweeps from the birth of Rome to the dawn of the Middle Ages.

The story of the sword – both as supreme, bloodstained exemplar of technology, and metaphor of imperial power – reveals the violent reality of Rome’s rule. Simon James brings thirty years of study of Roman history and ancient military technology, and a vivid storytelling style, to this compelling new account of the ways in which warriors and weapons both forged the Roman empire and sowed the seeds of its destruction.

A masterpiece of scholarship and deduction, the book is organized around eight thematic chapters dealing with the characteristics of Insular art, the ‘Pictishness’ of Pictish art, Pictish metalwork, themes and programmes in Pictish art, the form and function of the sculpture and a discussion of the impact of losses, illustrated with over 300 photographs, six maps and specially commissioned line drawings.

In its acute analysis of Insular art, and its relentless questioning of the function and meaning of Pictish art, this book will be of great value to art historians, archaeologists, those interested in the history of the early Church, and medievalists of all disciplines.

Pattern and Ornament in the Arts of India Henry Wilson Henry Wilson is known for his photographs of India, which have appeared in magazines and books, including Benares and India Contemporary, both published by Thames & Hudson. His drawings of Indian motifs inspired Osborne & Little to commission the Sariskar Collection of wallpapers from him.

223 colour photographs and 89 drawings 29.7 x 20.0cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 515822 November

An outstanding sourcebook of images that will appeal to lovers of India, lovers of design, and practising artists and designers The visual exploration of India’s decorative genius presented here focuses on architecture – forts, palaces, havelis or mansions, tombs, temples and mosques. It concentrates on north-west India, which has an exceptionally rich seam of ornamented architecture – the great Buddhist stupa at Sanchi, forts and palaces of Mughal and Rajput princes, mansions of Gujarati merchants, and much more. The decoration is in a variety of different materials: stone, from carved sandstone to colourfully inlaid marble; wood; plaster; and glass, notably in the famous shish mahals or mirrored rooms.

Given the scale and the richness of the architecture of India, details of ornament can easily be missed: now they are celebrated in Henry Wilson’s remarkable photographs and drawings.

The stencil-like drawings, which in a magically abstract form copy the decoration illustrated or perform variations on it, help one to understand and enjoy the originals even more; they can inspire designers to find patterns in existing decoration and produce original results.

A major illustrated celebration of the architecture and urban fabric at the heart of one of the world’s great cities From its beginnings 2000 years ago as a Roman settlement, the City of London has evolved and thrived so that today it is one of the world’s great financial centres. Concentrated into its square mile is a rich mixture of buildings and public spaces that reflects the area’s extraordinary history.

This book, edited by Nicholas Kenyon with contributions from four distinguished architectural historians, guides both the newcomer and those familiar with the City through the amazing variety of buildings that range from the Norman Tower of London to Jean Nouvel’s One New Change.

Dividing the City into eight districts and featuring specific locations in each, the authors write about structures as varied as the Bank of England and Guildhall, the glorious Wren churches, the city livery halls and the Thames’ bridges. Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs and historical images, The City of London captures the magic and mystery of the ancient and modern urban environment that make the Square Mile so fascinating.

A unique survey of forty architect–engineers who have been pioneers in both aesthetic design and technological innovation Whether they are imposing, inspiring, subtle or spectacular, the structures that surround us have always been designed to influence the way we see, think and move. Taking a closer look at this variety of architectural forms, The Great Builders celebrates the careers of forty towering figures whose engineering skills have been crucial to their success. In a series of concise but penetrating biographies, an international team of distinguished historians, writers and practising architects examines the lives and motivations of some the world’s most pioneering designers. Here is Brunelleschi, who built the ‘unbuildable’ dome of Florence Cathedral; Sinan, a Christian engineer who became chief architect to the Ottoman court; Joseph Paxton, scribbling down a design for the Crystal Palace, London, on a piece of blotting paper; and James Bogardus, an early American evangelist of the opportunities offered by cast-iron architecture.

The Great Builders brings these remarkable characters and their work to life, revealing the technical ingenuity and aesthetic flair that define some of the world’s most iconic structures.

Le Corbusier & Lucien Hervé The Architect & the Photographer – A Dialogue Jacques Sbriglio With introductions by Quentin Bajac and Béatrice Andrieux, and a preface by Michel Richard Jacques Sbriglio is a working architect and professor of architectural theory and projects at the École National Superieure d’Architecture de Marseille-Luminy.

The story of the creative collaboration between two groundbreaking modernists Lucien Hervé was chosen by Le Corbusier to be his official photographer in 1949, when the architect realized that he had finally found a photographer with an ‘architect’s soul’. Their seminal collaboration is extensively documented in Hervé’s contact prints, now housed at the Fondation Le Corbusier in Paris, which form an extraordinary archive of modernist architecture and photography. A selection of these precious and unique albums is being published in this volume for the first time.

In their introductory essays, Quentin Bajac and Béatrice Andrieux describe the two men’s collaborative process and the dynamic of their relationship; in the book’s main section, Jacques Sbriglio presents sixteen of Le Corbusier’s most iconic buildings, using Hervé’s contact sheets as visual references. The viewer’s eye, moving across the sheets, gradually discovers forms, defined spaces, and the play of light and shadow – the cinematic dimension inherent in Le Corbusier’s architecture.

‘Witold Rybczynski has an eye for the telling detail and an ear for the felicitous phrase’ New York Times Book Review

The Biography of a Building How Robert Sainsbury and Norman Foster Built a Great Museum Witold Rybczynski With a tribute by Norman Foster Witold Rybczynski is the Martin and Margy Meyerson Professor of Urbanism at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of scores of books and articles on architecture, including the award-winning A Clearing in the Distance.

50 illustrations 22.9 x 15.2cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 500 342763 August

£19.95

A richly perceptive narrative that will enthral anyone interested in art, architecture or the role of the museum in cultural life, and delight all readers who relish consummate writing Witold Rybczynski, one of the world’s most fluent and avidly followed writers on architecture, is the perfect guide to the remarkable inside story of the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia, which was created for Sir Robert and Lady Sainsbury’s private art collection and opened to a fanfare of critical approval in 1978.

Rybczynski’s absorbing account draws in all the threads of the building’s history; the selection of Norman Foster as the architect, the identification of the site, the design of the building, its construction and the installation of the collection are traced in fascinating detail, enlivened with generous quotations from the main players in the drama. But this is not only a history of the Sainsbury Centre: as the story unfolds, the author meditates on the nature of collecting and collections, the function of the art museum, the relationship between architect, client and sponsor, and the evolution and roots of late 20th-century architecture.

‘David Adjaye is committed to showing the world the contribution, historical importance, and influence of architecture from the African continent to contemporary discourse. This book captures the magic, relevance and significance of that contribution’ Baroness Valerie Amos

Adjaye • Africa • Architecture David Adjaye

Edited by Peter Allison

One of the most original and important architectural publications of our time: a beautifully produced, 7-volume slipcased survey of Africa’s architecture At just over forty, David Adjaye is one of the world’s most exciting and accomplished architects, and has built many highly acclaimed houses and public buildings in the UK and USA. Over a ten-year period, the Tanzanian-born, London-based architect visited 53 major African cities and photographed thousands of buildings, sites and places that few of us will ever be able to visit. This 7-volume slipcased edition documents Adjaye’s tribute to African metropolitan architecture. The individual volumes present cities according to the terrain in which they are situated – the Maghreb, Desert, The Sahel, Savannah and Grassland, Mountain and Highveld, and Forest. Each city is shown in a concise urban history, fact file, maps and satellite imagery, along with Adjaye’s personal travel notes and dozens of photographs of the city’s civic, commercial and residential architecture. All six ‘terrain’ volumes feature an introductory essay by Adjaye, and a separate volume is dedicated to essays by leading academics and commentators on Africa.

An important survey of 25 architectural projects from the frontlines of disaster prevention and recovery around the world Questions about the role of architects in disaster recovery have been circulating since the Indian Ocean tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in 2004. In the last decade, 200 million people have been affected by natural disasters and hazards. 98% of these victims are in the developing world, where billions of dollars in aid are absorbed annually by climatic and geologic crises.

Beyond Shelter is a call to action. It features 25 generously illustrated reports from the field, written by the founders of some of the world’s most provocative architecture and engineering firms and studios, non-profit companies, research centres and aid organizations. The projects are from locales as diverse as Manila, New Orleans, Gujarat, São Paulo, rural Vietnam, Kashmir, the Gola Forest in Sierra Leone, Greensburg, Kansas and the village of Soba, outside Khartoum. Together they illustrate the reality that evolving risk requires new ways of thinking, and that architects have a leading role to play.

Brimming with creative and intelligent ideas, this is a book that every workplace designer needs to own Architects and interior designers face fresh challenges when designing contemporary workplaces. Employers still want to provide offices that will inspire staff and impress clients, but the design brief must now take into account environmental requirements, constraints on resources and changes in how, where and when we work.

This international survey of workplace design is the ultimate resource for anyone creating the workplace of today and tomorrow. The book is organized into three colour-coded sections featuring small, medium and large projects, each one fully illustrated with photographs, drawings and plans. Full details of the design team, budget and specification for each project appear in an extensive listings section.

From Selgas Cano’s semi-subterranean, tubular office in a forest near Madrid, to the ‘living skin’ of Harmonia 57 in São Paolo, each of the fifty projects proves that our workplaces needn’t be boring, expensive or harmful to the environment.

An invigorating promenade along the world’s coasts through photographs of over 30 dream houses From the Baltic through the balmy Mediterranean to the tropical shores of the South Pacific, there are many ways of spending one’s life by the sea.

This book showcases over thirty exceptional houses from around the world in a variety of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Each house has its own ambience and its own particular relationship with the environment, whether it is perched on top of a cliff, nestled in a rocky hollow, or built on the sand. Sometimes the emphasis is on ecological concerns; other houses may have been designed to survive the elements, or to make the most of limited spaces or resources.

This profusely illustrated and captivating book features houses built along the cold seas of Canada, Scandinavia and the European Atlantic coast; houses on temperate seas like the Mediterranean and Africa’s Atlantic shoreline; and homes found along the warm seacoasts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and in the Caribbean. Both inside and out, and in every locale, the design approaches range from simple rustic style to the ultimate in luxurious elegance.

New in the bestselling ‘Way We Live’ series, the ultimate guide to rural living: beautiful, regional and quirkily individual This book is a celebration of the many ways in which we choose to live in the country. From the groves and vineyards of Provence to the dry hills of California, the farms of Australia and the forests of Canada, Gilles de Chabaneix’s stunning photographs capture the distinctive rural architecture, homely decorative schemes, awe-inspiring landscapes and rustic details that make country living universally desirable.

In this comprehensive exploration of the pleasures of country living, traditional and contemporary elements are treated with the same sympathetic eye: an airy, minimalist sitting room looks out on an ancient piazza; bunches of herbs and antique tools hang from rough-hewn beams beside a roaring fire; a stone floor, worn smooth with age, shines through the sleek glass top of a modern dining table, where a bowl of fruit from the local market awaits a guest. At the heart of the experience is the landscape itself – the great outdoors that draws the town- or city-dweller to experience the joys of the countryside.

Brings to life all the services and excitement that shopping emporia from Harrods to Barneys to Galeries Lafayette have offered to millions of visitors for more than a century Born in the Gilded Age in France, the department store grew up thanks to the Industrial Revolution, the rise of the middle class, and the invention of steel-frame architecture and the elevator. Spectacular entrances led to marble staircases and floor after floor of merchandise and amenities.

These emporia also inspired a whole new way of merchandising: shopping became an entertainment rather than a laborious grind; posters and advertisements were created by the great artists of the time; and elaborate shop windows attracted thousands of people during the holidays. The department store quickly spread through Europe and Asia and then the New World, and leading architects were commissioned to build these temples of consumerism, where dreams were created and then fulfilled.

This volume goes behind the fabulous window displays, eye-catching shopping bags and promotional extravaganzas to reveal and celebrate the department store in marvellous richness and detail.

An exploration of the enduring allure of Orientalist style In the 18th and 19th centuries, the ‘Oriental’ became a byword for spectacle and sensuality, and the result was a wave of creative expression that encompassed everything from the smallest objets d’art to entire buildings. Craft techniques such as Japanese lacquerwork were embraced, traditional motifs were appropriated and reinterpreted to suit Western tastes, and walls were adorned with painted scenes of Eastern life by artists such as François Boucher and Jean Pillement, which owed as much to literature and fantasy as to reality.

Many of these extravagant creations have been lovingly preserved and are captured here in lavish full-page illustrations. Readers can travel from the splendour of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton to the Mughal-style villa of Monserrate in Portugal, via the Chinese pavilions and Turkish salons of the Russian imperial residences and the Arabian-inspired home of French writer and collector Pierre Loti. This book is a sumptuous exploration of the enduring allure of these opulent interiors, which still possess the power to transport us to another time and place.

A profusely illustrated exploration of the ways in which Martha Schwartz is breathing new life into cities around the world One of the most important questions facing urban centres today is how to keep people attracted to live in, invest in, and participate in the city.

Working on the premise that ‘places that resonate with people are sustainable places’, Martha Schwartz creates spaces that aim to make people feel emotionally connected, engaged and invested in their longterm viability. This expanded notion of sustainability is the basis of the firm’s public work, and is illustrated here by a selection of the firm’s recent design projects, including Grand Canal Square in Dublin, Exchange Square in Manchester and the Central Park Monte Laa in Vienna, many published in this book for the first time. Readers will be able to explore some of the issues raised through the projects through essays on such topics as: the role of the urban landscape in the sustained health of the world’s cities; landscape as urban infrastructure; the aesthetics of sustainability; why people choose to live in cities; and the qualities that make them attractive.

An all-in-one introduction to combining traditional drawing techniques with computer-aided design Across the design disciplines, drawing by hand has largely become a lost art. Attitudes are changing, however; spurred by creative boredom and by a sense of being disconnected from their briefs, today’s designers seek a greater and more immediate connection with their projects.

Aimed at landscape- and garden-design students and professionals, this essential book reintroduces the importance of learning to impart spatial ideas by hand, to visualize large-scale design plans and explain them through drawing, and demonstrates how doing so supplements digital drawings throughout the design process. It guides practitioners from their very first impression of a site, through concept and schematic design and client presentation to construction and site drawings, concluding with two case studies that show the final result. Just as hand-drawing returns to design courses around the world, this welcome publication celebrates the best aspects of traditional techniques while incorporating them into today’s digital design methods.

£29.95 100 Textiles

A worldwide history for anyone with a passion for textiles and textile arts, whether creative, professional or educational There are few aspects of our lives in which thread and fabrics do not play a notable part; this book reminds us memorably and movingly of the powerful significance of fabric throughout human history.

Beverly Gordon bridges past and present, from the Stone Age – when humans first learned to make cordage or thread – to 21st-century ‘smart fabrics’, which can regulate body temperature or measure the wearer’s pulse. Her discussion integrates craft, art, science, history and anthropology, and she draws on examples from around the globe. She covers topics such as the universality of textiles in human language and experience; their role in bonding families and communities, from sewing bees to guerilla knitting; the importance of textiles in world trade; the many spiritual and sacred aspects of fibre and textiles; and the work of artists who use textiles as their medium. A refreshingly original array of illustrations includes paintings and photographs of both historic and contemporary textiles and a broad collection of textiles being created, worn and lived with.

A visual odyssey through ideas of beauty, fetish and seduction Lavishly illustrated with a vivid selection of images from such key contemporary photographers such as Guy Bourdin, Juergen Teller, Karl Lagerfeld, Bettina Rheims, Marilyn Minter, Tim Walker, Steven Klein, David LaChapelle and Vanessa Beecroft, this book explores the confluence of art, fashion and fetish in the cult of high heels stalking down fashion show runways and along city streets everywhere.

Hundreds of compelling and extremely frank photographs are punctuated by essays and, most notably, interviews with two deities of shoe design, Manolo Blahník and Nicholas Kirkwood. The introductory text

by Ivan Vartanian – in conversation with James Crump – discusses the image of the fetishized high heel as a vehicle for discussing a fetish for photography in general. Among the other topics explored are ideas of aesthetics and the industry forces behind high heel design; the recent technological developments responsible for shoes’ creatively extreme forms; and high heels, gender and representation in film.

Chanel: The Vocabulary of Style Jérôme Gautier Jérôme Gautier is a journalist and expert on fashion photography and the history of fashion. He lives and works in Paris.

209 illustrations in colour and black and white 32.0 x 24.0cm 304pp ISBN 978 0 500 515815 October

£65.00

The creative brilliance of Chanel – from Coco Chanel herself to Karl Lagerfeld – as seen by the greatest photographers of their times Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel was, without doubt, the most influential designer of the 20th century. This book honours her influence by celebrating the key elements that defined and still define her style through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary photographs.

Juxtaposing fashion plates from Chanel’s own time with the most recent creations by Karl Lagerfeld, the resonance between archive and contemporary photographs becomes sharp, vibrant and telling. The vocabulary of Chanel’s style – the little black dress, baroque inspirations, androgynous chic – is revealed in eleven chapters that compare original forms in the 1920s with the full range of their later expressions through every fashion era.

Chanel’s legendary fashion house continues to captivate a huge audience with an insatiable appetite for one of fashion’s undisputed style perennials.

Three Centuries of Thoroughbred Style James Sherwood Forewords by the Duke of Devonshire and Amanda Wakeley Three hundred years of high fashion and high society Royal Ascot is the jewel in the crown of the British social season, with HM The Queen attending all five days of the royal meeting; the Royal Ascot Authority box is arguably the only place in the world where the Duke of Devonshire clinks champagne glasses with Dame Vivienne Westwood, Joan Collins, Grace Jones and maestro milliner Philip Treacy.

For the first time in its history, Ascot has released its formidable archive to author James Sherwood, who has drawn on twenty years in the fashion industry to present a history of elegance as seen through the prism of this unique and prestigious event. Additional picture sections exploring elements of the flair and refinement synonymous with Ascot – such as millinery and morning dress – chart the unique importance of fashion at the races. Illustrated throughout with rare archival imagery alongside contemporary photography, this is the ultimate record of the styles and the personalities that have defined Ascot as the most elegant of sporting occasions.

Introduction by François Hébel Published to coincide with the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition in May 2011 The retrospective of portraits of Mick Jagger, one of the world’s most photographed performers, was a highlight of the 2010 Arles photography festival. This book gathers together all the photographs from that retrospective to present a narrative of Jagger’s entire career, from Mankowitz’s portraits of the young artist in the 1960s and Cecil Beaton’s on-set shots from Performance to Anton Corbijn’s shoot for Rolling Stone in 2005. It also includes an introduction by the Festival’s director, François Hébel, who writes ‘In order to consider the rock portrait, we have chosen to focus on different unities: unity of face, in the form of Mick Jagger, and unity of genre the posed portrait, as opposed to stage photography or candid shots.’

Just what was it that made sixties’ London so different, so appealing?

Powered by the three key elements of youth, affluence and the mass media, the city was the hub of pop culture, with its bold and creative spirit attracting an international roster of artists and luminaries in all fields, from pop music and fashion to literature and the visual arts.

While a new aristocracy of rock stars and trendsetters ruled the roost, Pop Art took a witty and detached view of contemporary consumerism, and architecture looked towards a utopian future.

This vibrant book paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of sixties’ London.

It features a stellar cast of characters from every cultural arena, including David Hockney, Francis Bacon, David Bailey, Alan Aldridge, The Beatles, Peter Blake, Mary Quant, Diana Rigg, Bridget Riley and many more, all presented in context and showing how they contributed to a city at the epicentre of a cultural boom that was heard around the world and whose echoes still resonate today.
