The world of Stonehenge Duncan Garrow and Neil Wilkin

Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands at the centre of a rich archaeological landscape. Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition at the British Museum, this publication charts the rise and fall of one of the most iconic monuments in the world.

Stonehenge is one of the best known, but most misunderstood, monuments in the world. Contrary to common belief, it was not a static, unchanging structure built by shadowy figures or druids. Rather it represents the cumulative achievements of numerous generations who were woven into a complex and widespread network of cultural interactions, environmental change and belief systems. This publication, which accompanies the first exhibition about Stonehenge ever staged in London, uses the monument as a gateway to explore the communities and civilisations active at the time of its construction and beyond, between 4,000 and 1,000 BCE. Recent archaeological findings regarding the origin of Stonehenge’s striking ‘bluestones’ have reignited interest in this ancient wonder, the people who built it and the beliefs they held. Authors Duncan Garrow and Neil Wilkin examine the dramatic cultural and societal shifts that characterised the world of Stonehenge – including the introduction of farming and development of metalworking – through the 'iconic' structure, spectacular treasures of precious and exotic material and more humble, personal objects. Covering a period of thousands of years, the publication traces the appearance of the first monuments in the landscape of Britain around 4,000 BCE, through the arrival of the bluestones from the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire 1,000 years later, and all the way up to a remarkable era of cross-Channel connectivity and trade between 1,500 and 800 BCE.

Goddesses (title tbc) Belinda Crerar

An exciting, wide-ranging exploration of the power and diversity of the divine woman in world cultures and belief systems, from the ancient world to today.

Divine women – in many guises – have featured in every world faith from deep history until the present day, inspiring people and cultures across the world. In a cross-cultural and global approach, this book discusses Eve alongside Inanna, Radha and Aphrodite in the context of sex and desire, while in the chapter on evil, witches and Hecate are compared with other entities, like Lamashtu and the Cihuateotl, as well as monstrous women such as Taraka, Medusa, Rangda and Lilith. Ideas of justice and defence are explored in the figures of Athena, Sekhmet and Kali, and the final chapter on compassion and salvation uncovers links between Isis, Mary, Tara and Guanyin. The publication concludes with a discussion of contemporary feminism and modern interpretations of goddesses. Until the mid-twentieth century, the disciplines of theology, archaeology and history were heavily dominated by male academics, resulting in the under-representation of women’s experience and fewer studies on female divinity. This timely book, which is packed with fascinating insights into different cultures and beliefs, seeks to redress that balance.

Henri Matisse: The Red Studio Ann Temkin and Dorthe Aagesen

Published to accompany a major exhibition presented at MoMA and the Statens Museum for Kunst in 2022 and 2023, this catalogue tells the “biography” of Henri Matisse’s The Red Studio from 1911.

Henri Matisse’s The Red Studio (1911) has remained among MoMA’s most important and influential works since it was acquired in 1949. The large painting depicts the artist’s work environment in Issy-les-Moulineaux, crowded with his own canvases, sculptures, furniture, and decorative objects. Matisse’s radical decision to saturate the work’s surface with red has continued to fascinate generations of scholars and artists, yet much remains to be explored of the painting’s genesis and history. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition that reunites the artworks shown in The Red Studio for the first time since they left Matisse’s studio, this richly illustrated publication examines the paintings and sculptures depicted in it, from familiar paintings such as Young Sailor II (1906) to lesser-known works and objects whose locations have only recently been discovered. A rich selection of archival materials, including photographs, catalogues, letters, and press clippings—many never before published or exhibited—discloses new information on the painting’s subject, evolution, and reception. An essay devoted to conservation science presents recent discoveries about the process of the painting’s making.

Wolfgang Tillmans: To Look Without Fear Edited by Roxana Marcoci

Conceived in conjunction with a major travelling exhibition, this catalogue is devoted to the wide-ranging practice of Wolfgang Tillmans, encompassing photography, installation, print media, video, and sound and light work.

A visionary creator and intrepid polymath, Wolfgang Tillmans unites formal inventiveness with an ethical orientation that attends to the most pressing issues of life today. While his work transcends the bounds of any single artistic discipline, he is best known for his wide-ranging photographic output. From trenchant documents of social movements to windowsill still lifes, ecstatic images of nightlife to cameraless abstractions, sensitive portraits to architectural studies, astronomical phenomena to intimate nudes, he has explored seemingly every genre of photography imaginable, continually experimenting with how to make new pictures and deepen the viewer’s experience. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition of Tillmans’s work at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, this copiously illustrated volume surveys four decades of the artist’s career. Diverse essays address key threads of his multifaceted practice, and a new text by Tillmans himself elucidates the distinctive methodology behind his system of presenting photographs.

Our Selves: Photographs by Women Artists Roxana Marcoci

This publication highlights the exceptional gift of 108 photographs by women artists from the collection of Helen Kornblum to The Museum of Modern Art.

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

Roxana Marcoci is Senior Curator in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

How have women artists used photography as a tool of resistance? Our Selves reframes restrictive notions of womanhood, exploring the connections between photography, feminism, civil rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and queer liberation. Spanning more than 100 years of photography, the works in this volume range from an early documentary photograph of racially segregated education in turn-of-the-century United States by Frances Benjamin Johnston to a contemporary portrait by Chemehuevi artist Cara Romero that celebrates the specificity of Indigenous art forms. A critical essay by curator Roxana Marcoci asks the question “What is a Feminist Picture?” and weaves together works by photographers such as Claude Cahun, Tina Modotti, Carrie Mae Weems, Catherine Opie, and Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie to question the art historical cannon and activate new readings. A series of twelve focused essays address a range of themes, from dance to ecology to perception.

Frédéric Bruly Bouabré: World Unbound Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nwezi

This volume presents all 449 panels of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré's Alphabet Bété (1990–91) alongside several related works and a contextualizing essay.

One of the most accomplished African artists of the last century, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré (1923-2014) created an unmistakable and sophisticated body of work as a compendium of the world. Focused initially on writing in the first half of his life, he gathered his work in several handmade notebooks which then served as sketchbooks for his art when he turned to it fully in the late 1970s. Over the course of four decades, Bouabré drew obsessively, pursuant to a wide range of subjects, from his native Bété community in Côte d'Ivoire and the urban milieu of Abidjan to the all-encompassing themes of fraternity, equality, and universality. Published to accompany the first museum survey devoted to the visionary artist and writer, this publication presents Alphabet Béte (1990-1991) in its entirety – 449 ballpoint pen and colored pencil drawings on postcard-sized cardboard that depict everyday scenes of human activities and images of fruits, farming tools, body parts, tadpoles, worms, and musical instruments – alongside a selection of related works and a contextualizing essay.

The Project of Independence: Architectures of Decolonization in South Asia, 1947–1985 Edited by Martino Stierli, Anoma Pieris, and Sean Anderson

Published in conjunction with a major exhibition on the architectural production of South Asia in the postcolonial period, this catalogue examines architecture in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

Martino Stierli is The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Anoma Pieris is Professor of Architecture at the Melbourne School of Design, The University of Melbourne. Sean Anderson is Director of the Bachelor of Architecture Program and Associate Professor at the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

Following the end of British rule in 1947–48, architects in the newly formed nations of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh (East Pakistan until 1971), and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) proposed a novel understanding of modernity, disrupting the colonial hierarchy of center and periphery by challenging modernism’s universalist claims. Architecture offered multiple ways to break with the colonial past. Through the establishment of institutions that embodied the societal aspirations of the period, and the creation of new cities and spaces for political representation, South Asian architects produced a distinct body of work in dialogue with global developments while advancing the theory and practice of low-cost, climatically and socially responsive design. Anchored by a newly commissioned portfolio of images from architectural photographer Randhir Singh, this richly illustrated and meticulously researched catalogue features essays by curators and leading scholars on subjects such as the politics of concrete, institution-building, higher education, housing, infrastructure and industry, landscape, and design, as well as presentations of seventeen transformative projects from around the subcontinent.

50 Great Trees of the National Trust Simon Toomer

This beautifully illustrated book features 50 remarkable trees that grace the gardens, parkland and countryside cared for by the National Trust.

Presented in a beautiful quarter-bound hardback format and aimed at a general audience, this engaging book presents a selection of remarkable trees in the care of the National Trust. Throughout human history, trees have occupied a role that is central to our existence – providing timber to build our homes, fuel to heat them, fruit to sustain us, shelter from a downpour and shade on a sunny day. They impress us with their size, enchant us with their everchanging colours and have provided inspiration for artists down the centuries. This celebration of trees at National Trust places presents a carefully chosen selection of 50 fascinating examples. Alongside ‘named’ witnesses to history, such as the Martyrs’ Sycamore at Tolpuddle and Sir Isaac Newton’s Apple Tree at Woolsthorpe Manor, are fine examples of their type that deserve to be better known, such as the Douglas firs at Cragside and the black mulberry at Chastleton House. Each featured tree is accompanied by a wealth of glorious images and a short, informative, easy-to-read text. The book opens with an illuminating introduction and concludes with a glossary of terms and a gazetteer of National Trust places where particularly notable trees can be found.

Inspirational Women Rediscovering Stories in Art, Science and Social Reform With an Introduction by Malala Yousafzai

Publishing to celebrate Women’s History Month, this book shines a light on the achievements of inspirational women throughout history whose stories may have been overlooked until now.

Publishing during Women’s History Month 2022, this book focuses on the stories of women who were pioneers in a variety of fields but who may have been overlooked historically. This title will shine a light on their stories, achievements and contributions to history and culture both in Britain and, in some cases, internationally. An essay by Lydia Miller provides insight on the selection of sitters, as well as extended captions exploring the stories behind their achievements. It will cover key themes and moments in history, showcasing both the famous and less well-known women in fields including the arts, sciences and technology, social reform and politics and exploration. Some of the sitters include Gwen John, Laura Knight, Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Dorothy Hodgkin, Olive Morris, Doreen Lawrence, Emmeline Pankhurst, Pocahontas and Mary Colvin. This book aims to broaden the research into women in the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection as part of the Reframing Narratives: Women in Portraiture project, in partnership with Chanel.

PASSION, POWER AND POLITICS

The Tudors Passion, Power and Politics Charlotte Bolland

A comprehensive history of the Tudor period including the international impact of the Tudors and their legacies, featuring new research and a range of specialist contributors.

Situating the Tudor dynasty, their court, and the country, in an international context, this book will be highly illustrated and feature contemporary research in an accessible way. It will provide an overview of the ways in which the Tudors engaged with the world and were impacted by broader currents: the internationalism of court culture, religious shifts, trade, naval conflict and the expansion in the Americas. The introductory text will consider the legacies of the Tudors, as the monarchs who reigned during the tumultuous years of the Reformation and the emergence of the transatlantic slave trade and English colonialism. Taking a thematic and biographical approach, the book will feature some of the most famous royal and court figures from the sixteenth century, from Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell, to Elizabeth I and Walter Raleigh, as well as those whose role in Tudor history has often been overlooked. The works shown will be explored from a multitude of perspectives, looking at the sitters’ impact at home and abroad in Europe and the Americas. The international impact of the Tudors will be very evident in the portraits featured, the artists of which came from the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy.

The Cute Documents of Contemporary Art Edited by Sianne Ngai

This singular collection of writings tracks the astonishing impact of one vernacular aesthetic category – the cute – on post-war and contemporary art.

This collection tracks the astonishing impact of a single vernacular aesthetic category on post-war and contemporary art, and on the vast range of cultural practices and discourses on which contemporary artists draw. As opposed to a material, a mood, a structure, an institution, a motif, or a technique, The Cute is concerned with the artistic ramifications of an aesthetic category ‘of’ or ‘about’ minorness – or what is generally perceived to be diminutive, subordinate, trivial, and above all, unthreatening. Artists surveyed include: Peggy Ahwesh, Cosima Von Bonin, Nayland Blake, Adrian Howells, Juliana Huxtable, Ray Johnson, Mike Kelley, Dean Kenning, Wyndham Lewis, Jeff Koons, Sean-Kierre Lyons, Mammalian Diving Reflex, Alake Shilling, Annette Messager, Mariko Mori, Takashi Murakami, David Robbins, Mika Rottenberg, Allen Ruppersberg, Jack Smith, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Yoshitomo Nara. Writers include: Edmund Burke, Roland Barthes, Leigh Claire La Berge, Lauren Berlant, Joshua Dale, Jennifer Doyle, Lee Edelman, Rosalind Galt, E.H. Gombrich, Lewis Gordon, Rosmarie Garland Thompson, Stephen Jay Gould, Wayne Koestenbaum, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, Lori Merish, John Morreall, Juliane Rebentisch, Frances Richard, Carrie Rickey, Friedrich Schiller, Peter Schjeldahl, Kanako Shiokawa, Susan Stewart, Daniel Tiffany, D.W.

Goya Drawings José Manuel Matilla and Manuela Mena

Brings together more than 100 drawings by Goya

Goya Drawings presents the fruits of the research undertaken for the publication of a new catalogue raisonné of Goya’s drawings, a subject to which the Museo del Prado has always devoted particular attention and which is one of the keystones of its collection. Since the publication of Gassier’s catalogue in 1973 the number of drawings attributed to Goya has changed, giving rise to the need for a new catalogue raisonné which updates the enormous body of information accumulated over the course of two centuries of literature on this subject. This book brings together more than 100 drawings by Goya from the Prado’s own collections and from public and private ones around the world. It is presented as a chronological survey of his work that includes drawings from throughout his career, ranging from the Italian Sketchbook to the Bordeaux Albums. It also offers an up-to-date vision of the ideas that recurrently appear in Goya’s work, revealing the ongoing and long-lasting relevance of his thinking.

Grayson’s Art Club: The Exhibition – Volume Two Grayson Perry, Swan Films, Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

The catalogue to accompany the exhibition of works selected by Grayson Perry during season two of the popular TV series, Grayson’s Art Club.

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

Grayson Perry is an English contemporary artist, writer and broadcaster. He is known for his ceramic vases, tapestries as well as his observations of the contemporary arts scene. He has made a number of documentary television programmes, curated exhibitions and published numerous books.

During the pandemic, Grayson Perry helped the nation find comfort and company through art during the hit TV series Grayson’s Art Club by Swan Films for Channel 4. Each week Grayson hosted the show from his studio with his wife, Philippa (and often their cat, Kevin). Using video chat, Grayson spoke to famous artists and creatives about how they were spending their time and invited them to respond creatively to lockdown. Each week had a different theme – family, nature, food, dreams, work, and travel. Members of the public were also invited to share their own artworks and over 17,000 entries were submitted throughout series two in a vast range of mediums – from paintings and photography, to ceramics and textiles. Collectively, the artworks are powerful and very personal responses to the pandemic and form a lasting artistic record of the unprecedented times the nation experienced together. The artworks from season two are collected here to catalogue the exhibition at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery.

Ellen MacArthur Foundation The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an international charity, committed to the creation of a circular economy that tackles some of the biggest challenges of our time, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Driven by design, a circular economy eliminates waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in use, and regenerates natural systems, creating benefits for society, the environment, and the economy. This book is part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Design Programme, which aims to empower and equip the world’s designers and creatives in fashion, food, packaging, and beyond, to embrace the circular economy opportunity. Design 102 illustrations 23 x 16.5cm 224 pages 9781912737086 December £35.00

This book has been written in recognition of fashion’s huge potential to shift towards a circular economy and in homage to its creatives — passionate disruptors that are on the constant search for reinvention.

At heart, this book aims to inspire fearless innovators committed to spearheading the future of fashion. It is for all of us looking to make a positive impact in an industry that we love and care about. It is increasingly acknowledged that the practice of design is not exclusive to designers, nor is it found only in studios. The materials, garments, services, shows, supply chains and stores that make up the fashion industry all work the way they do because of innumerable design decisions, made by creatives all over the world. Circular design goes far beyond rethinking single products or services, it has the potential to redefine how the entire fashion system operates. It’s a chance for anyone in the fashion industry — regardless of job title — to support the shift to a circular economy where, by design, waste and pollution are eliminated, products and materials are circulated, and nature is regenerated. Circular design is a pioneering practice of design. It is the creative opportunity of the coming decade for the creatives, innovators, and pioneers who seek to reshape the fashion industry.

This book features highlights from Russian artist Vladimir Arkhipov’s collection of unique artefacts. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, these objects were made out of necessity by ordinary Russians, due to a lack of immediate access to manufactured goods.

A reprinted edition of the highly popular book from 2006, Home Made Russia features over 220 artefacts of Soviet culture, each accompanied by a photograph of the creator, their story of how the object came about, its function and the materials used to create it. The Vladimir Arkhipov collection includes hundreds of objects created with often idiosyncratic functional qualities, made for use both inside and outside the home, such as a tiny bathtub plug carefully fashioned from a boot heel; a back massager made from an old wooden abacus; a road sign used as a street cleaner’s shovel; and a doormat made from beer bottle tops. Home Made Russia presents a unique picture of a critical period of transition, as the Soviet regime crumbled, but was yet to be replaced with a new system. Each of these objects is a window, not only into the life of its creator, but also the situation of the country at this time. Shortages in stores were commonplace, while wages might be paid in goods, or simply not paid at all. These exceptional circumstances lent themselves to a singular type of ingenuity, respectfully documented by the author in intimate detail.

A-Z of Record Shop Bags: 1940s to 1990s Jonny Trunk. Edited by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell. Foreword by Jon Savage.

A visual celebration of the shopping bags produced by British record stores from the 1940s to the 1990s. Illustrated with over 550 examples of this previously unrecorded side of popular culture. Also available 9781916218444

Jonny Trunk and FUEL present A-Z of Record Shop Bags: 1940s to 1990s – a publication celebrating the humble record store bag. This exhaustive collection of the record shop bags provides a unique perspective of record shopping in the UK over the last century, bringing together over 500 incredible bags (some possibly the only surviving examples) to document the fascinating story of British high street record shopping. Bags from famous chains such as NEMS, Our Price and Virgin (the amazingly rare Roger Dean bags), sit alongside designs from local shops run by eccentric enthusiasts. Packed with stories such as the first Jewish ska retailer, the record sellers who started the premier league, famous staff (David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, Morrissey, etc.) and equally infamous owners, these anecdotes of mythical vinyl entrepreneurs will entertain and delight. With vinyl record sales at their highest ever for decades (outselling CDs in the US), this publication acts as an amazing insight into the history, culture and visual language of record collecting. Following Own Label, Wrappers Delight and Auto Erotica – I’ve Got The Music In Me is the next book in the series by Jonny Trunk and FUEL, examining overlooked aspects of our collective past.

Sophie Bramly is a French photographer born in 1959. She moved to New York at age 22 and for two years documented the burgeoning hip-hop scene. Previously working as a fashion photographer, she returned to France in 1984, bringing a number of US hip-hop artists to Europe and then in 1987 she moved to London to host and produce MTV’s first ever hip-hop show, Yo! MTV Raps. She currently lives in Paris and her work is featured extensively at Hip-Hop 360, a six month long exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris, France (December 2021–August 2022).

St, Rahiem (The Furious Five), Arthur Baker, Zephyr, Muhamad (The Magnificent Force), Lady Pink, Mister Freeze (The Rock Steady Crew), Slick Rick, Patti Astor.

Over 250 rarely seen stunning images documenting the rise of hip-hop in the early 1980s

Sophie Bramly lived in New York in the early 1980s and became firmly embedded in the emergent scene. The book features many stunning, intimate images of a star-studded roll call of legendary hip hop figures, all of whom were only just getting known or in their ascendency. These include Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmixer DST, Jazzy Jay, Red Alert, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Lisa Lee, the Fat Boys, Run-DMC, Beastie Boys and many more. Bramly knew that hip hop was becoming a cultural force rather than just a musical fashion, and spent many hours photographing the four essential elements of this new world: the emcees, the deejays, the graffiti artists and the break dancers. So aside from the many stars of hip-hop you will also see legendary graffiti artists captured at work and play, such as Keith Haring, Dondi, Futura, Phase One, Zephyr and Lady Pink, as well as breakdancers including members of Magnificent Force, Dynamic Breakers and the Rock Steady Crew. In 1984, Bramly returned to France where she became deeply involved in bringing Hip-Hop to Europe, continuing to photograph and document this culture. In 1987 Bramly presented and hosted Yo! MTV Raps, the first ever hip-hop show on the channel. “All these photos speak for a time that is so special, is never coming back and changed the world. It’s pretty much this experience that changed everything for ever. What makes it amazing, is that you hear stories about superheroes that changed the world, and that was us.” – Grand Mixer D. St

Sebastião Salgado: From My Land to the Planet Sebastião Salgado

A new paperback edition of Salgado’s long-selling story of his life viewed through the lens of nature.

Sebastião Salgado’s photographs have been shown around the world. In From My Land to the Planet the photographer tells us the story of his most famous reportages: from the black and white portraits of unknown men and women, workers or refugees, to the more recent Genesis project, a portrait of the most incontaminated places of our planet. With a kindness and a disarming simplicity, Salgado rebuilds his path, exposes his beliefs, makes us witnesses of his emotions. In this volume his talent as a storyteller and the authenticity of a man who knows how to combine activism and professionalism, talent and generosity, clearly emerge. The reader will discover fascinating stories of every corner of the world, both near and remote, from Africa to the Americas, and then again the birth of the Instituto Terra, of the Genesis project, of Magnum Photos and Amazonas Images.

Designing Peace Building a Better Future Now Cynthia E. Smith

The first book of its kind to explore through a design lens the work being done on peace around the world, on multiple scales.

Designing Peace asks, how might we collectively put our creative forces together to envision a future we want to live in and take action to create it now? This book is an intersectional snapshot of the actions – culturally diverse and wide-ranging in scale – that are currently in play around the world. Offering perspectives on peace through essays, interviews, critical maps, project profiles, data visualizations, and art, this book conveys the momentum that design can gain in effecting a peace-filled future. From activists, scholars, and architects to policymakers, graphic, game, and landscape designers, Designing Peace flips the conversation: peace is not simply a passive state signifying the absence of war, it is a dynamic concept that requires effort, expertise, and multi-dimensional solutions to address its complexity. Designers engage with individuals, communities, and organizations to create a more sustainable peace – from creative confrontations that challenge existing structures, to designs that demand embracing justice and truth in a search for reconciliation. This publication aims to expand the discourse on what is possible if society were to design for peace.

Plastic has shaped our daily lives like no other material. Originally associated with convenience, progress, even revolution, today plastic seems to have lost its utopian appeal. Plastic is everywhere, yet most conspicuous as waste and as a key factor in the global environmental crisis. This book examines the success story of plastic in the twentieth century and at the same time presents the different discourses on how we should manage the waste the material produces and also find solutions that take into account its entire life cycle in the future. Mark Miodownik, Susan Freinkel, and Nanjala Nyabola each contribute an essay that sheds light on the history of plastics from 1850 to today. A material-rich visual chronology illustrates how consumers’ perception of plastics has changed over the decades. Brief descriptions of a selection of 50 objects examine the importance of plastics for material culture. Reprints of fundamental texts about the history of plastics – for example by Alexander Parkes and Roland Barthes – provide a context from the history of ideas. The book juxtaposes the current discourse and state of research on plastic with numerous individual interviews and panel discussions that were held with designers, representatives from industry, researchers, and environmental activists. Underpinning these conversations are comprehensive data visualizations on plastic production, consumption, and the spread of plastic around the world.

Baranger Motion Displays 55 Moving Scenes of Love, Courtship and Surrender Edited by Rolf Fehlbaum and Fifo Stricker

The first in-depth history of the Baranger Motion Displays.

Motion Displays were conceived as eye-catching and novel moving objects, which – primarily in the US – were used in jewellers’ shop-window displays to attract customers. The Baranger Motion Displays were produced by Baranger Studios in Pasadena, CA between 1937 and 1957 and were lent to thousands of jewellers’ shops over the years. With large-scale illustrations of the different Motion Displays and an atmospheric photo essay featuring blackand-white details of the objects, the book provides an unprecedented and in-depth view into this collection. In an accompanying essay, Bill Shaffer traces the success story of the displays and sheds light on the significance of the red cases in which they were delivered to the jewellers.

The Meaning of the Earth Wolf Jahn and Gilbert & George

Places the art of Gilbert & George within the context of 20th-century art, showing how they have revolutionized our view of Christianity and the human soul.

The Meaning of the Earth describes an almost unknown revolution that took place in London the 1970s. A revolution where a bloody power struggle raged for many years before its decisive battle ended with a tremendous sacrifice. But no lives were lost in this revolution, just as it was unmarked by rebellious pathos and public calls to violence. Nor did it intervene in contemporary society. Instead it toppled a regime internalised in western individuals. It led to the death of the decrepit and irretrievably dialectically animated spirit that had set the historical revolutions in motion, inspired them and drove them on. It ended too the Christian-influenced and increasingly secular salvation history, and opened a new evolutionary chapter. Its two revolutionaries, Gilbert & George, emerge not unscathed but nonetheless victorious from this inner power struggle. Wolf Jahn’s text tells of their world revolution of the soul in the twentieth century and its fruitful results in the form of a new creation and anthropogenesis.

Shin Hanga The New Prints of Japan 1900-1950 Chris Uhlenbeck, Jim Dwinger and Philo Ouweleen

Sheds light on twentiethcentury Japanese printmaking, offering fresh insights and a unique selection of prints.

This book offers a unique selection with which to explore twentieth-century Japanese printmaking. Twentieth-century Japanese printmaking has come in for relatively little attention. Classic Hokusai and Hiroshige landscapes and Utamaro’s beautiful images of women remain the dominant form. All the same, since the 1990s museums and private collectors have shown a growing interest in shin hanga (‘new prints’): balanced designs printed on luxurious paper, with the finest pigments and in smaller editions. It is not so much in their subject matter as their visual language that shin hanga prints set themselves apart from their traditional precursors. Where the classically depicted women were stylized and idealized, their more recent counterparts are based on real models, individually recognizable and full of emotion. The modern landscapes, meanwhile, are impressionistic rather than figurative, using a range of colour nuances to achieve highly atmospheric results.

Yoshitoshi One Hundred Aspects of the Moon Edited by Bas Verberk and Cis van Heertum. Foreword by Adele Schlombs

A retrospective of the key series of Yoshitoshi, the last great ukiyo-e woodblock print master. Accompanies an exhibition at Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst in Cologne from 2021-2022.

Walther & Franz König

Bas Verberk is the Japan curator of the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne. Adele Schlombs is the author of Hiroshige (Taschen 2007).

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892) was the last great woodblock print master of the Ukiyo-e tradition. With his distinctive style of dramatic lines and use of gorgeous colours, Yoshitoshi was soon recognised by his contemporaries as the most outstanding woodblock artist of his time. One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is regarded as his greatest achievement. The series brings to life the history and mythology of ancient Japan. In all 100 prints the moon figures prominently, either clearly visible in the design itself, or else referred to in the beautiful poem in the text cartouche. The subjects of the prints range from historical figures such as the novelist and court lady Murasaki Shikibu from the Heian period (794–1185) and samurai warlords like Takeda Shingen (1521–1573) to mythological creatures and scenes related to the Japanese theatre forms kabuki, no and kyogen. The series not only strongly refers to Japanese literature and culture, it also includes many references to the literary traditions of China, which were of major influence on the cultural developments of classical Japan.

Irma Boom. Book Manifest Irma Boom

An extensive, richly illustrated manifesto on book design and creation from the Queen of bookmaking.

World renowned Dutch designer Irma Boom is known for her bold experimental approach to her projects, often challenging the convention of traditional books in both physical design and printed content. In Book Manifest – the third book in the series – Irma Boom presents her vision on the essence, meaning and relevance of the book. The basis for this book is formed by the in-depth research that Irma Boom carried out into the development of the book in the library of the Vatican. The knowledge she gained about this, and the inspiration it gave her, is shared with a selection of more than 350 books she designed, in which she extensively discusses the context and relationship with the old book. With this 1000-page, richly illustrated book, Irma Boom aims to inspire and encourage the new generation of designers to experiment, in order to ensure the book's position for the future.

Martin Margiela at Lafayette Anticipations Edited by Martin Margiela, Guillaume Houze and Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel. Text by Chris Dercon, Balthazar Laury, Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel, Martin Margiela, Friedrich Meschede and Francois Quintin.

The first solo exhibition of Martin Margiela as a visual artist.

Walther & Franz König

Martin Margiela is a Belgian fashion designer and founder of the French fashion house Maison Margiela. He presented a distinct, radical vision for fashion along with his peers in the avant-garde fashion collective, the Antwerp Six. He lives and works between Paris and Belgium.

For his first solo show, Lafayette Anticipations invites Martin Margiela to take possession of and transform every one of its spaces. The show presents, for the first time in public, over forty works: installations, sculptures, collages, paintings and films. It also puts forward a hypothesis: that Martin Margiela has always been an artist. Internationally renowned in the fashion world since the late 1980s, throughout his career as a designer, he deliberately upended the conventions of fashion one by one, through runway shows, materials and forms that became conceptual and aesthetic revolutions. The works on show, most of which were made in the Foundation’s studio, return to the artist’s obsessions. The body is very much in evidence: anatomies inspired by the academic tradition; hair and skin in almost abstract form, signs of the passing of time. The catalogue has been designed by Irma Boom in close collaboration with Martin Margiela. It is conceived as a “making of” of the show and presents both final and “in progress” pictures of the works.

A new collection of Helen Frankenthaler’s work that brilliantly showcases her major contributions to postwar American painting.

Helen Frankenthaler is one of the great abstract expressionist artists of the 20th century. Frankenthaler lived and worked in the epicentre of the New York School and created her groundbreaking abstract soak-stain pictures in the early 1950s, following on from Jackson Pollock's Drip Paintings. This work is considered a bridge between Action Painting and Color Field painting. The focus of this new publication is on Frankenthaler’s painterly constellations on both canvas and paper. Over 70 works on paper – from the late 1940s to the early 2000s – are juxtaposed with an exclusive selection of paintings from the individual phases of Frankenthaler's artistic oeuvre.

It features an interview with the pair and spotlights Toroni’s works produced in situ for the Lambert Collection. For more than fifty years, Toroni has developed a subversive and radical vision of the pictorial act, with the view that painting has no underlying message to convey; what matters is what you see. Niele Toroni is a Swiss artist based in Paris. Changing viewers’ perceptions is Toroni’s great ambition; for him, painting means “learning to see again”.

The Elevator Resides in 501 Sophie Calle and Jean-Paul Demoule

Both a fascinating objet d’art and investigative notebook: Sophie Calle returns to the Hotel du Palais d’Orsay, bringing a forgotten past back to life.

Between 1978 and 1981, Sophie Calle went on a clandestine exploration of the then abandoned Hôtel du Palais d'Orsay. She selected room 501 as her home and without any pre-established method, set about photographing the abandoned hotel over five years. As she explored, she picked up items she found: room numbers, customer reception cards, old telephones, diaries, messages addressed to a certain “Oddo” and more besides. What happened to room 501? More than forty years later it had disappeared and an elevator has taken its place. At the invitation of Donatien Grau, the Musée d’Orsay curator, Sophie Calle returned, equipped with a flashlight, to explore the site again during the lockdown period. She hunted down the ghosts of the Palais d’Orsay, now connected to the present by the visitors that had also deserted the museum. The work reconstructs the artist’s archive of photography, letters, invoices and other daily items which bring a forgotten past back to life. To provide commentary on her discoveries, Sophie Calle called upon the archaeologist Jean-Paul Demoule, who writes a series of texts combining fact and fiction. All this evidence has been assembled together to create an objet d’art which resembles an investigator’s notebook.

For forty years, life in Afghanistan has been shaped by wars, the destruction of heritage, terrorist attacks, everyday fears and hopes, and migrations. In 2001, the Taliban government was overthrown by an international coalition bringing hopes of stability and reconstruction. The intervention did not however bring total peace. In this period of optimism, a number of international creation programs were set up as young Afghan artists returned from exile. Artists in the country - either selftaught having grown up under a Taliban regime that banned images, or trained during their exile - had no heritage to take on and no classical rules to break: anything seemed possible. The works stand as an often humorous testimony to the peace that was promised but never delivered and the bitter illusions this fostered. All express a spirit of revolt against the most oppressive traditional forces that repress women and homosexuals as well as the Hazara ethnic group. Through their artistic practices, the artists show how salvation, however slight, is achievable. Guilda Chahverdi is a Franco-Iranian director and actor. She curated the exhibition ‘Kharmohra, Art Under Fire in Afghanistan’ at the MuCEM in Marseille and works to mobilise exiled Afghan artists.

Graciela Iturbide, Heliotropo 37 Graciela Iturbide. Interview by: Fabienne Bradu. Text by : Eduardo Halfon

An artbook celebrating the unprecedented retrospective dedicated to Graciela Iturbide at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris, from February to May 2022.

From February to May 2022, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain will present a major exhibition of Graciela Iturbide, one of Latin America’s most emblematic photographers. Working mainly in black-and-white in her native country, Mexico, Graciela Iturbide is interested in the cohabitation between ancestral traditions and Catholic rites, as well as in man’s relationship with death. She also dedicates an important part of her work to women and their roles within their social environment. In recent years, her photographs have turned empty of all human presence, revealing the strong bond that unites her with things, nature, and animals. The book accompanying this “portrait” exhibition offers an exploration of Graciela Iturbide’s work and personal universe. It brings together all the works presented at the Fondation Cartier, as well as an interview with the photographer by French essayist Fabienne Bradu, an original short story by Guatemalan writer Eduardo Halfon, and a photo-reportage of Iturbide’s home and studio by Mexican photographer Pablo López Luz.

Shipwreck The Gibson family of Scilly Photographs by the Gibson family of Scilly. Authors: Carl Douglas and Björn Hagberg

Probably the most magnificent book on shipwrecks ever published, showcasing the extraordinary photography of the Gibson family of the Isles of Scilly. Also available 9789171265371

In the days of sailing ships, the waters off Britain’s southwestern coast were among the most treacherous in the world with tidal currents, submerged rocks, storms and murky depths. Thousands of ships were lost there over the centuries. From Cornwall and the remote Isles of Scilly, five generations of the Gibson family documented these shipwrecks in photographs, creating a unique archive of an era when seafaring meant risking one’s life. This magnificent book is the largest ever created on the outstanding collection of pictures of the Gibson Family, with more than 100 exceptional images presented as never before. The result is a work that conveys mankind’s struggle against the elements – and the extraordinary efforts to save lives. This book is published in co-operation with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, that holds the unique Gibson collection. Also available Collector’s edition: numbered edition of 1000 copies 39.0 x 54.5cm 9789171265685

Undertow Conceived and photographed by Lisen Stibeck

Lisen Stibeck returns to the roots of photography in her new book Undertow, working with the collodion wet plate process, where every exposure requires extensive effort with unpredictable results.

The very idea of photography is to imitate its motifs as precisely as possible. Today’s digital images have the precision of millions of pixels. But in photography’s infancy the act of photographing was a significantly more organic and time consuming process. Lisen Stibeck has returned to the roots of photography in her new book Undertow, working with the collodion wet plate process, where every exposure requires extensive effort with unpredictable results. Parallel to this ancient process Stibeck has developed her own technique where she allows the emulsion of polaroid photography to live and evolve past the finished exposure. Undertow explores the world of dreams, memory, alternate realities, and parallel lives. These pictures were born somewhere beyond the reach of the Artist's conscious self; images that she has then attempted to translate into photography, drawing inspiration from the places that have always inspired her in her work – Sweden, Morocco, France, Mexico, and Iceland. The result is a series of suggestive art images that are both comely and fateful. At its first exhibition, Undertow was a huge success with all prints sold out in record time.

Aili Markelius is one of Sweden's most promising young art photographers. Her pictures have been exhibited in a number of galleries, including Fotografiska in Stockholm.

In this deeply personal book, photographer Aili Markelius explores the innermost corners of the human psyche. With her camera as a tool, she approaches her fellow human beings as much as she seeks herself. The images hover in the borderland between reality and dream - and sometimes they approach true nightmares. This is an exquisite book, printed as a limited edition of 444 signed and numbered copies.

So Long Photographs by Kirk Crippens. Foreword by Rene de Guzman.

Kirk Crippens's collection of photographs showing San Francisco throughout the pandemic of 2020-21.

So Long is a meditation influenced by the pandemic, not purely about it. Kirk Crippens began creating photographs for this project on 17 March 2020, the day the San Francisco Bay – where he lives – went into quarantine. The last photograph was taken on 22 May 2021. A lot had changed. The quiet and thoughtful photography in the book reveal the photographer’s patience and resonate with the social, cultural and political world of 2020-2021. The photographs of a painted portrait of George Floyd, a Black Lives Matter poster and a mural honouring Amanda Gorman’s 2021 Presidential Inauguration poem place light on American racism. Dried oranges carefully placed on an office table by a worker who thought they would be out of the office for a few weeks but wound up not returning for months, represent businesses that are no longer robust. Empty seats, often restricted with forbidding tape, stand in for those who will never join us again. Vibrant messages on theatre marquees and signs like “Quarantine is Temporary/Wu Tang is Forever” provide us with a sense of hope, humor, and irony.

Personal Ties Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn Photographs by Amy Touchette. Foreword by Larry Fink. Afterword by C. Joi Sanchez

Street portraits made by Amy Touchette in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, with a Rolleiflex film camera.

A resident of New York City since 1997, Amy Touchette started photographing people in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, soon after moving to the neighbourhood in 2015. Perhaps best known for being the childhood home of rapper Jay-Z and the setting of Spike Lee’s film Do the Right Thing, what struck Touchette most about Bed-Stuy was its strong sense of community and the relationships that underpin it. Using a Rolleiflex film camera, friends, family members, and couples often caught her eye. Knowing she was a stranger appealing for their time, Touchette tried to make the encounters as quick and easy as possible, making just two frames of each subject. Whether photographing in Hawaii, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, the American South, or in her own adopted neighbourhood in Bed-Stuy, Touchette has always used photography to shine the light on others, a strong believer that eye contact is the gateway to empathy and the realization that we are all in this together. Although all of her projects stem from a personal endearment, these photographs, set in the streets she calls home, are especially personal.

It wasn’t so long ago that a notion gained currency suggesting we had reached ‘the end of history’ – that humanity’s socio-cultural evolution had advanced to a point beyond which it could not develop much further. A quarter of a century later this optimism seems to have vanished. Instead, we are witnessing the return of geopolitics. In this volume, leading scholars chart how we arrived where we are today – and where we might be going next.

In these essays the writers consider how different kinds of identity are tied to different kinds of communities. How does a nation emerge? How is unity achieved in an empire with a diverse population?

History, the collective experience of Mankind, teaches us about the present and the future. How do we look at events of the past? Do they help to solve our present political or economical conditions and conflicts? Perhaps it is only through applied history that we can find our way forward. The essays in this anthology derive from the Engelsberg Seminar in 2019 that dealt with these questions, from perspectives as varied as the History of Ideas, Evolutionary Psychology and Ideologies.

The belief in a governing, universal, celestial principle has followed us through human history. More than 80 per cent of the world’s population has a religious affiliation and even in secular states, religion continues to play an important role. Politics and international relations today cannot be understood without accounting for the element of religion in cultural contexts. These essays explore religion as a phenomenon in relation to the human condition and how it manifests itself as an individual experience.

Hilma af Klint is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich. Now, for the first time, af Klint’s works, some 1,600 in all, have been collected in a Catalogue Raisonné. Af Klint’s work should be seen and appreciated in the series of paintings often depicting specific themes and this ground-breaking publication, divided into seven volumes, allows for this. This final volume presents Hilma af Klint’s splendour as a painter of landscapes, portraits and botanical works.

The Sounding Cosmos A Study in the Spiritualism of Kandinsky and the Genesis of Abstract Painting Sixten Ringbom

A new edition of Sixten Ringbom’s classic work on the importance of theosophy and esoteric teachings in the development of abstract art.

For a long time, few people knew about spiritualism’s impact on the birth of abstract art. But when the Swedish art historian Sixten Ringbom’s book The Sounding Cosmos was published in 1970, the writing of history changed forever. Through his research on Wassily Kandinsky, one of the pivotal figures in modern art, Ringbom could show, among other things, how theosophy and esoteric teachings were absolutely essential to the development of non-figurative painting. This discovery generated great debate, and the book was both celebrated and controversial. To this day, it is an art history classic that continues to be discussed, especially since people’s views of both art and religion are continuously changing. In recent years, the attention given to Hilma af Klint has increased interest in the significance of the spiritual and in turn has focused new light on Kandinsky and others in the first generation of abstract painters. The Sounding Cosmos is now being published for the first time in a new edition. The richly illustrated original text has been supplemented with a new foreword by Daniel Birnbaum and Julia Voss.

Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945) might be best known for her marriage to the Danish composer Carl Nielsen – but she was also an artist in her own right. Her work was greatly admired in her time, and she paved the way for many other female artists. She was the first woman to undertake two of the most prestigious projects in the world of professional sculpture: an equestrian statue of a king (Christian IX of Denmark) and bronze doors for a cathedral (Ribe Cathedral). Paradoxically, while her extensive, tireless work in plaster and bronze made Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen an inspiring role model for generations of Danish sculptors, she remains under-appreciated in the annals of art history. This book remedies that omission.

Sytin House was built in Moscow in 1803 by Brigadier Andrei Sytin to be his city residence. Built from wood but disguised to look like stone, a peculiarity of the Russian building tradition, it was a typical house for a member of the gentry class, built according to standardised designs and decorated with classical motifs. The otherwise modest house has a portico with four columns and a pediment, all from wood. The Sytin family moved in just a few years before the fire of Moscow in 1812 that devastated most of the city, but, amazingly, not this house, that is to this day an extraordinary survivor, one of only a handful of such houses left in Moscow. Nestled between two of Moscow’s main streets, it has recently been triumphantly restored, and is today a witness of over 200 years of the city’s architectural history. This account provides a fascinating and original insight into the cultural, political and social landscape of Russia, as well as its architectural history.

Vendome

Newport, Rhode Island, is one of the last bastions of American high society. The grand Gilded Age houses that top its oceanside cliffs and line storied Bellevue Avenue are largely untouched by contemporary renovation and taste, and family heirlooms are passed down from generation to generation with Yankee thrift. Indeed, Newport has an understated elegance that sets it apart from other resort towns. Life behind the facades of these elaborate mansions is rarely revealed, but now, photographer Nick Mele and author Ruthie Sommers, both lifelong Newport residents, share their entrée into the parties, lawn tennis matches, beach clambakes, and family gatherings that make up the glorious days of a Newport summer.
