An ambitious monograph on Olafur Eliasson’s large-scale projects over the past 20 years, including hitherto unpublished creations as well as spatial experiments that no longer exist. Olafur Eliasson’s work ranges from installations and sculpture to photography, film, pavilions and other built environments, and has been exhibited worldwide in institutions such as MoMA, Tate Modern and the Venice Biennale.
Contributing writers Alex Coles, Lorraine Daston, Carol Diehl, Eric Ellingsen, Timothy Morton, Molly Nesbit & Minik Rosing.
Unspoken Spaces Olafur Eliasson
4
The first major new monograph on Olafur Eliasson in almost a decade, Unspoken Spaces explores the artist’s driving interest in finding visionary shapes to represent abstract ideas. It is a richly illustrated journey through spheres, tunnels, towers, walkways and archways, as well as pavilions and larger buildings realized by Eliasson and his studio since the late 1990s. Binding the spiralling dynamic of these works are essays by renowned writers across a variety of fields – from geologists and historians of art and science to architects, artists and philosophers. The works range from small-scale experiments to large-scale projects in the public realm, among them striking buildings such as The Serpentine Galleries Pavilion 2007 in London (with Kjetil Thorsen), Your rainbow panorama (2006–2011) in Aarhus, Denmark, or the crystalline façade for Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre (2005–11) in Reykjavik. Each work is presented through in-depth project descriptions accompanied by Eliasson’s own words. Produced in close collaboration with the artist and his studio, this elaborate volume will appeal to art lovers, designers, students and collectors alike.

The definitive introduction to one of the most important and influential artists in postwar visual arts, reissued to mark the 30th anniversary of Beuys’s death.

The Essential Joseph Beuys Alain Borer
6
Subject to passionate controversy during his lifetime, the work of Joseph Beuys is now considered one of the most significant and influential contributions to 20th-century art. This book provides a survey of Beuys’s oeuvre, which he viewed as part of a larger, philosophically based practice emphasizing direct democracy, free access to education and the restructuring of society to meet ecological requirements. Arranged in chronological order are 152 works from Beuys’s many fields of activity – drawings and watercolours, prints and multiples, sculpture and objects, spaces and actions – that demonstrate the artist’s formal versatility, creative richness and conceptual depth. The peculiar poetry of the materials Beuys used – felt, grease, honey, wax, copper and sulphur – also emerges along with the gentle melancholy suffusing the work of this agent provocateur. Alain Borer analyses Beuys’s motivation with special reference to the artist’s written and spoken statements.

An authoritative chronology of the iconic work of one of the great figures of 20th-century modernism, Wassily Kandinsky. Philippe Sers is a philosopher, art historian and publisher with a special interest in the work of Wassily Kandinsky. He has written many books and articles, and currently lectures in history and philosophy of art at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris.
335 illustrations 31.0 x 28.0cm 340pp ISBN 978 0 500 093979 January £60.00
Kandinsky The Elements of Art Philippe Sers The richness of Wassily Kandinsky’s life, work and thought make him one of the leading figures of 20th-century art. A founder member of Der Blaue Reiter, his theories influenced many of the major artistic movements of his time, including Dada, the Bauhaus, De Stijl and Russian Constructivism. He also had fruitful relationships with artists and musicians including Marcel Duchamp, Paul Klee, Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas de Hartmann. This book traces the evolution of Kandinsky’s art, drawing on a wealth of documents from the artist’s own workshop, including autobiographical writings, correspondence and theoretical essays, to shed new light on his prolific creative imagination. Kandinsky divided his work into three categories: impressions (observations of the exterior world), improvisations (expressions of inner feeling) and compositions (images on a grander scale that brought inner and outer visions together). His art is also marked by two intersecting axes: the first moving from the figurative to the abstract, the second from the profane to the sacred. This volume coincides with the 150th anniversary of Kandinsky’s birth, uncovering the well of imagery behind his paintings, prints and poetry, and exploring his passionate belief in the spiritual and harmonizing power of art.

Hockney’s Portraits and People
New in paperback
Marco Livingstone and Kay Heymer
6
David Hockney’s continuing belief in the importance of the portrait and his virtuoso skill in creating a sense of close communication between artist, sitter and viewer has resulted in some of the best-loved works of the postwar era. From the 1950s on, Hockney’s most persistent subject matter, in paintings, drawings, collages and photoworks, has been people usually very close to him, as well as of himself. These works are narratives of autobiographical relationships: they reflect the intimate and often intense stories of the artist’s life. They also explore different formal ways of representing the passage of time and at the same time the unavoidable but marvellous stillness of portraits. The works include fascinating sequences as he paints his mother, Henry Geldzahler, Celia Birtwell (on and off for decades), his lovers, great friends and the famous – celebrities, writers and artists who have been part of his life, such as Billy Wilder, Armistead Maupin, W.H. Auden, Henry Moore and Christopher Isherwood. Spanning several decades and showing how Hockney’s style has developed, this is a must-have book for all Hockney fans and lovers of modern art.

Updated and expanded | New in paperback
Conversations with David Hockney Martin Gayford An exhibition of Hockney’s portraits will be shown at the Royal Academy, London from 2 July to 2 October 2016.
‘A remarkable picture of Britain’s greatest living artist’ The Daily Telegraph ‘Elegantly and simply written … full not only of good-quality reproductions of Hockney’s paintings, but characterful photos of the artist at work’ The Observer ‘A rewarding book that turns out to be far more than simply the story of how and why Hockney made his most recent pictures. It offers a series of snappy essays on the complicated act of looking’ The Times Literary Supplement
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 and a half of conversations with art critic Martin Gayford, Hockney reveals via reflection, anecdote, passion and humour the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the problems and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional world on a flat surface. Their conversations are punctuated by wise and witty observations from both parties on other artists, and enlivened by shrewd insights into some of the diverse people Hockney has encountered along the way. This updated and expanded edition follows the preparations for the successful ‘A Bigger Picture’ exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2012, the works done subsequently in Hockney’s native Yorkshire and his return to Los Angeles in 2013. Visiting him there, Gayford depicts both the sitter’s and the artist’s world as he has his own portrait painted by the artist. Indulging the reader throughout by sharing Hockney’s sense of humour, Gayford finishes the book commenting and chatting with Hockney as he paints works depicting people in movement: dancers and jugglers. In his quest for a bigger and better picture of the world, Hockney remains very busy: ‘I don’t have a diary because it’s always full already,’ he tells us.

The first definitive history of the Young British Artists movement, featuring extensive interviews with its key players. Elizabeth Fullerton is an art historian with over 20 years’ experience as a journalist writing on art, culture, news and politics in Europe, the Middle East and Central America. Her articles have appeared in many international publications, including the Financial Times, the Independent, the Washington Post and ARTnews.

Artrage! The Story of the BritArt Revolution Elizabeth Fullerton 10
The Young British Artists (YBAs) stormed onto the British contemporary art scene in 1988 with their attention-grabbing, ironic art, brazenly exploding artworld conventions. Alternately praised for its witty energy and dismissed as trivial gimmickry, their work had a profound impact both on the art scene and on public consciousness that continues to be felt today. Now, almost three decades on, Artrage! tells the story of the YBAs with the benefit of perspective, chronicling the group’s rise to prominence from the landmark show ‘Freeze’, curated by Damien Hirst, through the heyday of the 1990s and the ‘Sensation’ exhibition, to the Momart fire of 2004 that seemed to symbolize the group’s fading from centre stage. Drawing on more than 50 interviews with the key BritArt players and extensive research, Elizabeth Fullerton examines the individual characters, their relationships to one another, crucial events and seminal artworks within the political, economic and artistic context of those years. Nearly 200 images – including all of the well-known works as well as many lesser-known but equally interesting pieces – are reproduced, as are many photos of the group provided by the artists and published here for the first time. Quotations bring out the distinctive personalities and provide fresh insights into the period and the people, among whom are Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Tracey Emin, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Sarah Lucas and Gary Hume. A street map shows where they lived and worked and other places of interest, and the book’s postscript offers an update on the artists’ careers and fortunes in the last decade.

Seeing Ourselves
Revised Edition | New format
Women’s Self-Portraits Frances Borzello 12
This richly diverse exploration of female artists and self-portraits is a brilliant and poignant demonstration of originality in works of haunting variety. Among the earliest self-portraits are those in medieval manuscripts, from whose pages nuns gaze at us across the centuries. In 16th-century Italy, Sofonisba Anguissola paints one of the longest series of self-portraits, spanning adolescence to old age. In 17th-century Holland, Judith Leyster shows herself at the easel as a relaxed, self-assured professional. In the 18th century, artists from Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun to Angelica Kauffman express both passion for their craft and the idea of femininity; and in the 19th the salons and art schools at last open their doors to a host of talented women artists, including Berthe Morisot, ushering in a new and resonant self-confidence. The modern period demolishes taboos: Alice Neel painting herself nude at 80, Frida Kahlo rendering physical pain, Cindy Sherman exploring identity, Marlene Dumas dispensing with all boundaries. The full verve of Frances Borzello’s enthralling text, and the hypnotic intensity of the accompanying self-portraits, is revealed to the full in a completely revised edition of this inspiring book.
‘This splendid book is a tour de force on selfportraiture in the Western world … Its lucid prose, evocative illustrations and handsome production make it a joy to read and savour’ Times Higher Education

‘Anyone interested in the Impressionists must obviously have this book, but it is a significant addition to the garden shelf as well’ The Art Newspaper ‘A luscious landscape of a book’ The Financial Times
In the Gardens of Impressionism explores to the full the fascinating story of the Impressionist love affair with the new thinking about gardens, their flowers and design, in 19th-century France. Clare Willsdon discusses the artists’ complementary roles as painters and as gardeners, and offers exciting new interpretations of their art, informed by source material such as popular gardening manuals of the day. She also looks at the garden, public or private, as a new kind of space with political undertones, and relates it to the Impressionists’ adoption of plein-air techniques. Her analysis of specific works presents their historical and horticultural context, including musings from such literary figures as Baudelaire, Duranty, Daudet and Zola, while she also delves into the artists’ private lives. With superbly reproduced period photographs, engravings, paintings and drawings, this vital contribution to Impressionist scholarship will appeal equally to the scholar, student, art lover or gardening enthusiast.

‘An out-and-out masterpiece... will undoubtedly come to be looked on as one of the greatest books ever written on Indian art’ William Dalrymple, The Guardian
B. N. Goswamy is Professor Emeritus of art history at the Panjab University. He has been a guest curator of major exhibitions of Indian art all over the world, most recently of the pathbreaking ‘Masters of Indian Painting’ at the Museum Rietberg, Zürich, and at the Metropolitan Museum, New York. Prof. Goswamy’s many publications include Essence of Indian Art, Wonders of a Golden Age, Pahari Masters, Domains of Wonder and Nainsukh of Guler.

The Spirit of Indian Painting Close Encounters with 101 Great Works 1100–1900 B. N. Goswamy ‘No one knows more about Indian painting than B.N. Goswamy and in The Spirit of Indian Painting he shares a lifetime of knowledge and insights.’ Glenn Lowry ‘The best possible introduction to the richly varied traditions of painting in India.’ Milo Beach
‘Wonderful … a book to make both layman and connoisseur alike realize why premodern Indian painting is one of the great arts of the world’ Neil MacGregor ‘Professor Goswamy’s book meets a long-felt need. In all the years I have been involved with Indian art I have repeatedly been asked to recommend a book which covers the whole subject. This is it. This is it. This is it.’ Sir Howard Hodgkin
Through close encounters with 101 carefully handpicked works, spanning nearly a thousand years, and ranging from Jain manuscripts and Pahari and Mughal miniatures to Company School paintings, B. N. Goswamy unlocks the many treasures that lie within them. As he narrates the stories behind each work, and deciphers the visual vocabulary and language of the painters, he also brings to life the cultural, social and political milieu in which they were created. An illuminating introductory essay elucidates the themes and contexts of this fascinating topic. Lavishly illustrated, and combining deep erudition with great storytelling, this is a book of enduring value that will delight all readers and teach them new ways of seeing and appreciating art.

Art in the Making Artists and their Materials from the Studio to Crowdsourcing Glenn Adamson and Julia Bryan-Wilson From painting to digital technologies to crowdsourcing, over the last few decades the means of making artworks have become more extraordinary and diverse. Yet we rarely consider the implications of how art is made. In this wide-ranging exploration of methods and media in art since the 1950s Glenn Adamson and Julia Bryan-Wilson take the reader behind the scenes of the studio, the factory, and other sites where art is created. They show how the materials and processes used by artists are vital to considerations of authorship, and to understanding the economic and social contexts from which art emerges. Art in the Making focuses on the intersection of thinking and making through nine chapters, each focusing on a particular process: painting, woodworking, building, performing, tooling up, cashing in, fabricating, digitizing and crowdsourcing. Discussions of broader themes are woven together with detailed examples and visuals, revealing the logic involved in the choice of techniques and materials. Artists featured include Alice Aycock, Judy Chicago, Isa Genzken, Los Carpinteros, Paul Pfeiffer, Doris Salcedo, Santiago Sierra and Rachel Whiteread.

Make Your Mark introduces the work of 45 artists who are extraordinarily diverse but united by one basic principle: their art is completely fresh, original and the epitome of creativity. They adopt a wide range of practices, including not only street art and new interpretations of the form but also studio-based work that has an ‘urban’ edge. The names – 44flavours from Germany, Bault from France, Morcky from Italy, Ricardo Cavolo from Spain, Zio Ziegler from the USA, Fuco Ueda from Japan, Raymond Lemstra from the Netherlands, João Ruas from Brazil and many others – all show exceptional talent, distinctiveness and courage in their approach to their work. Divided into three thematic chapters – ‘Draw’, ‘Paint’ and ‘Make’ – this book focuses not only on the handmade and the hand-drawn but also the unusual techniques and unconventional approaches to the media used. The work is experimental and multifaceted – involving painting, illustration, sculpture, installation, mural art, tattoo art, cartoons, animation, textile art, and sometimes all of these things in one go – and many of the artists could be equally at home in any one of these categories. Make Your Mark is an inspirational guide for practitioners, students and fans as well as anyone in commercial branding and communications not frightened by integrity.

Photofile brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an attractive format and at an affordable price. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full page reproductions, a critical introduction and a full bibliography. The series was awarded the first annual prize for distinguished photographic books by the International Center of Photography, New York. This new book in the series focuses on Magnum member Marc Riboud, who has travelled the world over the course of a highly distinguished career, from Europe to the Middle East and from Vietnam to the United States. Repelled by violence, indifferent to the pursuit of ‘events’, yet irresistibly drawn by the desire to see, he is a reporter under the spell of life itself. Whether covering the Cultural Revolution or the Soviet Union before perestroika, he waits for the inner truth to ‘rise to the surface of things’. These photographs reveal his intense awareness of the innate power of each image.

Yokainoshima: Island of Monsters Japanese Folk Rituals Charles Fréger In rural Japan the passage of the year is marked by festivals and rituals that have changed little for centuries. Elaborate outfits, crafted from textiles as well as branches, straw and elements sourced from the natural environment, are donned in agricultural and fishing communities throughout Japan to celebrate seasonal rites of fertility and abundance. Yokainoshima (literally ‘island of monsters’) explores the extraordinary range of masks, costumes and characters that reappear with each returning season. Charles Fréger’s photographs combine acute documentary attentiveness with individual portraiture in an entirely fresh and distinctive style. Toshiharu Ito and Akihiro Hatanaka, both specialists in Japanese folk culture and anthropology, analyse Fréger’s photographs, setting the huge variety of eclectic clothing in ethnographic context and describing the local festivals, dances and rituals. A final illustrated reference section describes individual costumes and masks. This compelling sequence of new portraits will enthral followers of folk traditions, but more especially marks an exciting new departure by this internationally acclaimed photographer.

The Altering Eye Photographs from the National Gallery of Art Sarah Greenough et al In 1949 Georgia O’Keeffe chose the National Gallery of Art as the custodian of more than 1,600 photographs by Alfred Stieglitz – the Key Set, as it has become known. With the formation in 1990 of the Gallery’s department of photographs under Sarah Greenough, the collection has grown to nearly 15,000 works of art, an assemblage that both charts the development of the medium and reveals the beauty and dynamic versatility of photography over more than 175 years. The Altering Eye presents some of the most significant and compelling photographs acquired over the years, ranging from experimental photographs made in the earliest years of the medium’s history to contemporary pieces that reset the ways in which photography shapes our experience of the modern world. To guide the reader on this walk through the history of the medium are members of the curatorial team that established the National Gallery’s international reputation for photography exhibitions and publications over the past 25 years, ever advancing the recognition of photography as a fine art.

It’s no surprise that some of the world’s finest photographers have worked in and around a bicycle race at some point in their careers. Cycling provides the perfect subject for reportage, social documentary and street photography because it happens in real time and real life. It isn’t a traditional stadium or circuit sport: the action happens on the street outside your house, in city centres where people live or in the mountains where people go to escape. The accessibility of cycling and photography means they share interesting parallels, culturally and historically. The Magnum archive contains work that is exceptional on both counts. This book is grouped into thematic chapters, each featuring one ‘story’ of an iconic moment, event or scene: the Tour de France, track racing in the velodrome, winter training and the revelry of the fans and crowds. Images are by a variety of iconic photographers, including Henri CartierBresson, Robert Capa, Guy Le Querrec and Harry Gruyaert. This publication is a celebration of the great artists who have captured those most fugitive of moments in cycling: the personalities, emotions and human endurance.

Rethinking the Modular Edited by Burkhard Meltzer and Tido von Oppeln
32
The modular did not have to be invented: it can be found everywhere. We divide surfaces into grids, spaces into parts, time into rhythmic units. Modular structures are also increasingly being recognized as a way of communicating, where the aim is not to construct a universal principle but to facilitate interplay between different systems. Building on the visionary design system that architect Fritz Haller and engineer Paul Schärer developed in 1965 for Swiss furniture company USM, Rethinking the Modular brings together specially commissioned essays and interviews with leading designers, architects and thinkers to present the wide-ranging importance and influence of modular design produced over the past fifty years. In revealing the broad possibilities created by balancing structure with flexibility, the timely publication redefines the place of modularity in modern design history, and offers a rich resource for designers today.

Under the Edge The Architecture of Peter Stutchbury Edited by Ewan McEoin 36
Peter Stutchbury’s award-winning architecture has stimulated an increasing awareness of the potential for designing with the Australian landscape and its environment. He has also enjoyed international acclaim through his success in the 2008 International Living Steel Competition for extreme climate housing in Cherepovets, Russia, and for his ‘Wall House’ in Japan for fashion designer Issey Miyake. Stutchbury carries forward the mantle of great Australian masters with whom he has worked, including Glenn Murcutt and Richard Leplastrier. Under the Edge brings his work to a wider global audience. It includes critical essays by Leplastrier and Brit Andresen, and by Ingerid Helsing Almaas, editor of Arkitektur N, the Norwegian Architectural Review. Stutchbury explains the underpinnings of his philosophy and practice in his own words. An overview of the seminal works of his early practice leads to the detailed presentation of 14 recent projects shown through texts, sketches, plans and new photography. They include his Invisible House in the Blue Mountains, which won 2014 House of the Year. The book concludes with an illustrated chronology of his entire corpus, with a section on his studio.
Includes texts by Lindsay Johnston, Brit Andresen, Richard Leplastrier, Ingerid Helsing Almaas and Peter Stutchbury.

The Architecture of Jacques Ferrier Alexander Tzonis and Kenneth Powell Jacques Ferrier’s French pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 was, along with Thomas Heatherwick’s ‘Seed Cathedral’, the most lauded and visited structure at the fair. It also encapsulated the key characteristics of Ferrier’s work: a deep interest in technology; the encouragement of social interaction through the use of courtyards, walkways and loggias; and the use of an external perforated ‘second skin’ that provides a filter for direct sunlight and an informal zone for social gathering while softening the transition from the building’s internal space and the outside world. This complete study of Ferrier’s work to date in Europe and Asia includes cultural buildings, ‘showcase’ headquarters (including those for Hachette Livres and Piper-Heidsieck Champagne), public buildings, offices, colleges, research centres and flagship stores. It also explores the idea of the ‘Sensual City’ that is central to Ferrier’s philosophy: that all buildings should thoroughly engage with the cities they inhabit. The Architecture of Jacques Ferrier is a major contribution to the debate about the nature and responsibility of architecture in an age of globalization.

David Adjaye | Edited by Peter Allison

The African continent contains some of the world’s most vibrant culture and creativity, and yet its buildings – vernacular, colonial or contemporary – have rarely engaged the interest of Western architects. David Adjaye, the first black architect to establish a truly global reputation in his field, has found endless sources of inspiration for his designs in the rich – and chequered – heritage of Africa’s teeming metropolises. His life’s dream was to return to the continent as an architect to document Africa’s built environment. Over a long decade, he tirelessly documented these dynamic, colourful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites and places, and letting each building speak for itself in telling contrast to a design world obsessed with photorealistic slickness. The resulting seven-volume work is one of the most original, ambitious and important architectural publications of our time, and has become an essential resource for all those interested in the burgeoning continent. This compact edition will make the fruits of this once-in-a-generation record available to a much wider audience, and will be a must-read for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of a unique architectural heritage overlooked for too long.

‘The moving record of one person’s effort to stay loyal to her homeland, at a time of great suffering and personal distress. It tells a painful and tragic story. But it is also the expression of a beautiful soul, who comes to us out of a confused and dreadful battle with a message of hope’ Roger Scruton
The Battle for Home Memoir of a Syrian Architect Marwa al-Sabouni | Foreword by Roger Scruton ’Everyone in Syria has lived this war. Every day people have fought for their lives, every day has brought a bid for survival, but it is not only bodies that suffer; souls, too, go through these battles, dying a thousand times in anticipation, only to rise up wearily to face another day.’ So begins the eyewitness account of Marwa al-Sabouni, a young architect based in war-torn Homs, on the country’s bitter conflict. Seen through the revealing lens of architecture and depicted with clarity, conviction and deep intelligence, she shares her personal experience of how the built environment directly affects the community that inhabits it, how the stage for civil war has long been set in her country, and how architecture might play a role in reversing the damage. The Battle for Home reveals uncomfortable truths and asks important questions, but ultimately offers hope, for rebuilding both a proud country and a much-needed sense of identity.

Now available in paperback, Drawing for Landscape Architecture reintroduces the importance of learning to ‘see by hand’, to visualize large-scale design schemes and explain them through drawing, before using the digital tools that are so crucial to efficient building solutions. It combines traditional drawing techniques with those from CAD rendering, guiding readers 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 entire process and final result. Just as hand-drawing has once again become central to design courses around the world, this publication celebrates the best aspects of traditional techniques while incorporating them into today’s digital design methods.

Lumitecture Illuminating Interiors for Designers and Architects Anna Yudina Light makes an architectural space livable, shapes it and guides us within it. The role of light reaches well beyond practical needs to create environments, emotions and spatial illusions. Today, as our homes and buildings have become increasingly interactive and connected to the ‘Internet of things’, the creative possibilities are growing exponentially. This timely publication captures the most imaginative ideas at the dawn of an exciting new era. Some 200 projects are organized into three sections, which consider the central effect produced in each case: lighting that transforms space; lighting that alters the experience of time; and lighting that evokes emotion or psychological change. Projects range from design solutions – practical applications and techniques for improving the ambience and function of our spaces for living and working – to highly experimental or immersive experiences that induce physiological responses or use entirely new sources of light, such as bioluminescence or rarefied gasses. The glow from every page of this dense visual and design resource will provide endless inspiration for the next generation of designers and space-makers.

Emmanuelle Dirix What defined the way women dressed in the 1930s? When did haute couture become off-the-peg? How did economic highs and lows influence style in the 1980s? High Fashion answers these questions and more by exploring fashion design in the 20th century, one decade at a time. Each chapter looks at the significant stylistic changes that occurred in one decade and places them in a wider cultural and socioeconomic context. The designers whose work best represents their era are profiled and their key looks deconstructed, from the vertical silhouette of the 1900s to minimalism in the 1990s. High Fashion combines thoughtful analysis with a carefully curated selection of archive images to create an invaluable resource for fashion students and a fascinating journey through 20th-century style for fashionistas. It reveals how styles have changed, what those changes tell us about individuals and society at that time, and how our current relationship with fashion was formed.

A Life in Fashion The Wardrobe of Cecil Beaton Benjamin Wild | Foreword by Tim Walker 50
When Cecil Beaton died in 1980, it was not surprising that one of his tailors was telephoned with the news before Buckingham Palace, despite his close association with the Royal Family. From the moment he arrived at Cambridge University in 1922 wearing an evening jacket, red shoes, black-and-white trousers and a large cravat, to his first meeting with Greta Garbo ten years later in a ‘pristine white kid coat, sharkskin, and new white shoes and socks’, and his appearance nearly 40 years later at Truman Capote’s 1970 Black and White Ball, Beaton expressed a flamboyant sartorial nonchalance. He had accounts with many Savile Row tailors; he bought his hats from Herbert Johnson and Lock & Co, his shirts from Excello in New York; and the clothes he bought from Lanz of Salzburg are now, along with other elements of his wardrobe, in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and the V&A, London. His wardrobe went through many changes, beautifully documented and illustrated in this virtuoso study, which will delight and inform the big new audience for men’s clothes that are distinctive, supremely well made, and carry authority with style.

The Floral Patterns of India Henry Wilson Following the critical and commercial success of Pattern and Ornament in the Arts of India, Henry Wilson has turned, for this companion volume, to a single theme. But what a theme: the variety of floral motifs in the exquisitely wrought details of India’s architectural wonders is boundless, and one can only marvel at the way in which the basic elements of wood, stone and plaster have been transformed into masterworks of decorative art. From the illustrious Mughal Empire during its greatest period of monument-building and artistic creativity to the time of British rule, which brought with it an unprecedented period of peace that allowed great wealth to be concentrated on the arts, the richness of India’s architecture is overwhelming. Henry Wilson’s fine photographs reveals the skill, patience and imagination of the many thousands of craftsmen who have turned to floral motifs and rendered them with precision and life-enriching creativity. Juxtaposed with the photographs are Wilson’s own detailed drawings, all created by hand but with a stencil-like clarity that helps us understand the original historical patterns. The result is an invaluable sourcebook that will appeal not only to those interested in one of the world’s oldest civilizations and greatest cultures, but also to anyone seeking inspiration for their own graphic creations.

The Brother Haggadah A Medieval Sephardi Masterpiece in Facsimile Marc Michael Epstein, Raphael Loewe and Jeremy Schonfield With Eliezer Laine and Ilana Tahan The Haggadot commissioned by wealthy patrons in the Middle Ages are among the most beautifully decorated Hebrew manuscripts, and the Brother Haggadah – so-called because of its close relationship to the Rylands Haggadah in the collection of the John Rylands Library, Manchester – is one of the finest to have survived. Created by Sephardi – or Iberian – artists and scribes in Catalonia in the second quarter of the 14th century, it sets out the liturgy and sequence of the Passover Seder, a ritual feast by which Jewish families give thanks for the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt as described in the Book of Exodus. The manuscript prescribes all eight days of the associated feast, and includes liturgical poems, most of the morning liturgy, biblical readings and a previously untranslated commentary on the Haggadah. This finely produced facsimile edition includes an introduction by Marc Michael Epstein, who sets out the background to the Passover and provides an analysis of the manuscript’s iconographic scheme. Jeremy Schonfield focuses both on the texts and on how the manuscript was used as a physical object. Following are essays on the provenance of the Brother Haggadah by Ilana Tahan, and on the Shaltiel family, former owners of the manuscript, by Eliezer Laine. The book also contains a translation of the poems and commentary in the manuscript by the late Raphael Loewe.

In Search of the Irish Dreamtime Archaeology and Early Irish Literature J. P. Mallory 62
J. P. Mallory returns to the subject of the origins of the Irish to interrogate what he calls the ‘Irish Dreamtime’: the native Irish retelling of their own provenance, as related by medieval manuscripts. He attempts to explore the reality of this version of the earliest history of Ireland, which places apparently mythological events on a concrete timeline of invasions, colonizations and royal reigns that extends even further back in time than the history of Classical Greece. By comparing the world depicted in the earliest Irish literary tradition with the archaeological evidence available on the ground, Mallory explores Ireland’s rich mythological tradition and tests its claims to represent reality.

Reading the Maya Glyphs Michael D. Coe and Mark Van Stone
‘The best single introduction to Maya writing, one of the most beautiful but difficult scripts in the world. … If the reader wants to understand Maya writing – and begin a fascinating conversation with the past – then this is the book to buy’ Professor Stephen Houston, Brown University
In the recent past, a working knowledge of the Maya script has been confined to epigraphers, art historians and other specialists. Its very unfamiliarity to the general public, and the daunting aspect of its approximately 800 signs, have made the system appear more complex and arcane than it really is. Reading the Maya Glyphs is a handy guide to reading and understanding commonly encountered Classic Maya texts. Topics covered include the nature of the script, the intricate Maya calendar, dynastic and political texts, and every aspect of the natural and supernatural world in which the Maya lived. Written by the world’s leading authority in Maya studies, Michael D. Coe, and illustrated by the drawings of Mark Van Stone, one of America’s outstanding calligraphers, the book presupposes no previous training in Maya epigraphy or archaeology. Whether in the hands of visitors to the great Maya sites of Mexico and Central America or consulted by museum-goers, this guide should enhance their appreciation of some of the world’s greatest works of art and architecture.

The BP exhibition
Sunken Cities Egypt’s Lost Worlds
Edited by Franck Goddio and Aurelia Masson-Berghoff Beneath the waters of Abukir Bay, at the edge of the Nile Delta, lie the submerged remains of ancient Egyptian cities that sank over 1,000 years ago but were dramatically rediscovered in the late 20th century. Pioneering underwater excavations since the 1990s have yielded a wealth of ancient buildings and artifacts, including temples and monumental statuary, harbour installations, and no fewer than 69 shipwrecks. Some of the greatest of these treasures are to be exhibited in Britain for the first time in 2016. Through these outstanding finds, this book tells the story of how two iconic ancient civilizations, Egypt and Greece, interacted in the late first millennium BC, from the founding of Thonis-Heracleion, Naukratis and Canopus as trading and religious centres to the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great, through the ensuing centuries of Ptolemaic (Hellenistic) rule, to the suicide of Cleopatra, the last active pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt, and the ultimate dominance of Rome. Throughout, Greeks and Egyptians lived alongside one another in these lively cities, sharing their politics, religious ideas, languages, scripts and customs. Greek kings adopted the regalia of the pharaoh; ordinary Greek citizens worshipped in Hellenic sanctuaries next to Egyptian temples; and their ancient gods and mythologies became ever more closely intertwined. This book showcases a spectacular collection of artifacts, coupled with a retelling of the history and rediscovery of these lost cities by worldrenowned experts (including the sites’ long-term excavator), bringing the reader face-to-face with this vibrant and multi-cultural ancient society.

For over 4,000 years the Mediterranean was the centre of Western civilization. Geographically, it is a whole world in miniature, an inland sea whose shores encompass every type of terrain and climate. Historically, it has been the meeting-place of the cultures of Europe, Asia and Africa, the battleground of races and nations and the focus of three great religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. David Abulafia, doyen of Mediterranean scholars, has brought together a team of leading specialists from many countries to tell this enthralling and complex story as a connected narrative: from the physical setting, the prehistoric traders and the struggle between Phoenicians, Greeks and Etruscans ending in Roman victory, to the post-Roman nations, the Christian and Islamic powers, domination by England and France, and finally the 20th century, divided between war and mass tourism. This study covers all of recorded history, incorporating recent research and tools ranging from linguistics to underwater archaeology, accompanied by spectacular illustrations. Here is the only complete and up-to-date overview of one of the great themes of world history.

A Traveller’s Guide from Mount Olympus to Troy David Stuttard | Illustrations by Lis Watkins The Greek myths have a universal appeal, reaching far beyond the time and physical place in which they were created. But many are firmly rooted in specific settings: Thebes dominates the tragedy of Oedipus; Mycenae broods over the fates of Agamemnon and Electra; Knossos boasts the scene of Theseus’ slaying of the Minotaur; Tiryns evokes Heracles, who set out from its citadel on each of his twelve labours. This unique approach to Greek mythology takes the reader on a tour of 22 destinations in Greece and Turkey, recounting the classic tales and the history associated with each and highlighting features that visitors can still see today. It provides an account of all the major gods and stories from ancient Greek mythology, with the myths presented in the sequence in which most Greek writers imagined them, beginning with creation and the coming of the gods and ending with the return of Odysseus from Troy – and his visit to Hades. Drawing on a wide range of Classical sources and illustrated with specially commissioned drawings of landscapes, statues and vase paintings, this book is both a useful companion for modern visitors to the famous sites connected with Greek mythology and an enthralling imaginative journey for the armchair traveller.

Earth-Shattering Events Earthquakes, Nations and Civilization Andrew Robinson
‘A truly welcome, and refreshing, study that puts earthquake impact on history into a proper perspective’ Amos Nur, author of Apocalypse: Earthquakes, Archaeology, and the Wrath of God
From antiquity until the present day, on every continent, human beings have made a Faustian bargain with the risk of periodic devastation by earthquake. Today around half of the world’s largest cities – as many as 60 – lie in areas of major seismic activity. This book seeks to understand exactly how human agency and great earthquakes have interacted, not only in the short term but also in the long perspective of history. For over the long term, the impact of a great earthquake depends not only on the chance factors of its epicentre, magnitude and timing, but also on human factors: the political, economic, social, intellectual, religious and cultural resources specific to a region’s history. While physical devastation has in some times and places led to permanent decline and collapse, elsewhere earthquakes have presented opportunities for renewal, the cities they destroy proving to be extraordinarily resilient. After its wholesale destruction by an earthquake and fire in 1906, San Francisco went on to flourish, giving birth in the 1950s to the high-tech industrial area on the San Andreas fault now known as Silicon Valley. Each earthquake-struck society offers its own particular lesson; and yet, taken together, such earth-shattering events have important shared consequences for the world.

The Anatomical Venus Joanna Ebenstein
70
Beneath the original Venetian glass and rosewood case at La Specola in Florence lies Clemente Susini’s Anatomical Venus (c. 1790), a perfect object whose luxuriously bizarre existence challenges belief. It – or, better, she – was conceived as a means to teach human anatomy without the need for constant dissection, which was messy, ethically fraught and subject to quick decay. This life-sized wax woman is adorned with glass eyes and human hair and can be dismembered into dozens of parts revealing, at the final remove, a tranquil foetus curled in her womb. Sister models soon appeared throughout Europe, where they not only instructed the specialist students, but also delighted the general public. The Anatomical Venus is a celebration of these female wax models and reveals their evolution from wax effigy to fetish figure and the embodiment of the uncanny. Since their creation in late-18th-century Florence, these enigmatic sculptures have seduced, intrigued and amazed. Today, they also confound, troubling the edges of our neat categorical divides between life and death, science and religion, body and soul, effigy and ecstasy, spectacle and education, kitsch and fine art. Skilfully written by a curator of the macabre, the beautiful and the spiritual, this is a meticulously illustrated survey of these anatomical odalisques and the cultural and artistic intersection they inhabit.

Paul Smith’s Cycling Scrapbook Paul Smith with Richard Williams
72
Had it not been for a serious crash in his teens, the fashion designer and style icon Paul Smith might have pursued a career as a racing cyclist. His sporting ambitions cut short, after a six-month spell in hospital he opened a small boutique in Nottingham in 1970. Today Sir Paul Smith is one of the UK’s leading designers, but he has never forgotten his love of cycling and has maintained a passion for the sport. In 2013 he was invited to design the legendary maglia rosa – the pink jersey worn by the leader of the Giro d’Italia – which was blessed by Pope Francis I and presented to the winner. This scrapbook showcases Paul’s favourite people, races and places in the cycling world through the images and personalities that inspired him. From his collection of cycling jerseys and his extensive library of cycling publications of the 1950s and 1960s to the inspiration he found in early heroes such as Fausto Coppi and Jacques Anquetil, his collaborations with bike-makers (Mercian, Condor, Gary Fisher and Pinarello) and his friendships with contemporary stars of the road and track, including David Millar, Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, this is a personal and highly visual journey that connects Smith’s love of cycling with his love of design. Ultimately, this is not merely a book about one man’s enthusiasm for a sport, but an insight into how the people, stories and imagery that have profoundly influenced one of the most successful personalities in the design world.

He illustrated scores of books and exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, the Leicester Galleries and, from 1968, at The Fine Art Society.

London A to Z John Metcalf | Decorated by Edward Bawden With a new introduction by Peyton Skipwith First published in 1953, the year that saw thousands descend on London to watch the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, London A to Z is a lexicon of the city’s curiosities, from the Achilles statue in Hyde Park ‘erected by the women of England to honour (if not to resemble) the Duke of Wellington’, via greyhound racing, lost property offices and umbrellas, to zebra crossings (relative newcomers to London in 1953). Adorned throughout with Edward Bawden’s beautiful and distinctive illustrations, this charmingly idiosyncratic guide brings to life with a dry humour the London and Londoners of the day. More than 60 years have passed since it was first published and while many sights are now lost to time, this vintage guide continues to capture London in all its uniqueness. Now with a new introduction by Peyton Skipwith, a longstanding friend of Edward Bawden, here is essential reading for every metropolitan explorer!

An ingenious take on the Rorschach Inkblot Test – a book packed full of blots that readers can transform into whatever they like. What is Hirameki? In Japanese, it means a flash of inspiration, which is just what artists Peng & Hu had when they saw a cow with a splotch that looked just like a famous filmstar – and realized that even the splodgiest blot could be easily turned into something amazing. Since then, their passion for collecting blots and dots has taken over their lives. Hirameki is set to be the creative phenomenon of 2016. Illustrated throughout 21.0 x 16.0cm 192pp paperback ISBN 978 0 500 292488 March £9.95
