Matisse’s Garden Samantha Friedman Illustrations by Cristina Amodeo Artwork by Henri Matisse
Art | Children’s Illustrated in colour throughout • 48pp • 30.0 x 23.0cm ISBN 978 0 870 709104 • July
£12.95 One day, Henri Matisse (1869–1954) cut a small bird out of a piece of white paper. It was a simple shape, but he liked the way it looked and didn’t want to throw it away, so he pinned it to the wall of his room. But the bird looked lonely all by itself, so he cut out more shapes to join it, and before he knew it, he had transformed his walls into a larger-than-life garden filled with brightly coloured plants and animals and shapes of all sizes. Featuring colourful cut-paper illustrations and Matisse’s own cut-outs, Matisse’s Garden is the
story of how the artist’s never-ending curiosity and continuous process of trying new things helped turn a small experiment into a radical new form of art. Children will see how Matisse used nothing but paper and scissors to create simple shapes like squares, leaves and birds, and experimented with scraps of leftover paper and new colour combinations to create lush gardens on his studio walls. Samantha Friedman is an Assistant Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Cristina Amodeo is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Milan, Italy. Henri Matisse is one of modern art’s towering figures, a painter, draftsman, sculptor and printmaker who turned to paper cut-outs in the 1940s. 5

OBJECT:PHOTO. Modern Photographs 1909–1949 The Thomas Walther Collection at The Museum of Modern Art Edited by Mitra Abbaspour, Lee Ann Daffner and Maria Morris Hambourg
Photography 598 illustrations • 380pp • 30.5 x 24.1cm ISBN 978 0 870 709418 • December
£45.00 This richly illustrated publication culminates a four-year collaborative research endeavor between The Museum of Modern Art’s Departments of Photography and Conservation, and nearly 30 visiting scholars, on the material and aesthetic evolution of avant-garde photography in the early twentieth century. The 341 modernist photographs that constitute The Thomas Walther Collection, a 6
major acquisition made by the Museum in 2001, are presented in their entirety, accompanied by an unprecedented degree of detailed information. The text considers the history of collecting from this era to the present and how deepening knowledge has shifted the perspective on the medium; the material facts of the Walther pictures as a baseline for understanding the development of photographic materials during this period; and how the intellectual formation of writers and the societal and cultural pressures of that historical moment inflected photography’s sense of its own history. Together with object-based case studies of groups of pictures that demonstrate new approaches in specific, divergent examples, these contributions reanimate the dialogue on this formative era in photography. Mitra Abbaspour is Associate Curator and Maria Morris Hamburg is Senior Curator of the Walther Project at The Museum of Modern Art. Lee Ann Daffner is a Conservator of Photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Nicholas Nixon: 40 Years of The Brown Sisters Nicholas Nixon Afterword by Sarah Hermanson Meister
Photography 46 illustrations • 96pp • 23.5 x 28.6cm ISBN 978 0 870 709531 • November
£22.50 In August of 1974, the photographer Nicholas Nixon made a group portrait of his wife, Bebe, and her three sisters, Heather, Mimi and Laurie – the Brown sisters. He did not keep that image, but in 1975 he made another portrait of the four, who then ranged in age from 15 to 25. Working with an 8 x 10-inch view camera, whose large negatives capture a wealth of detail and a luscious continuity of tone, Nixon did the same in 1976, and this second successful photograph prompted him to suggest to the sisters that they assemble
for a portrait every year. The women agreed, and have gathered for an annual portrait ever since. Nicholas Nixon: 40 Years of The Brown Sisters celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the series with luminous tri-tone reproductions of all forty portraits, and a new afterword by curator Sarah Hermanson Meister, which examines the series’ public exhibitions, critical reception and cult following. Like the previous editions of the series, published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1999 and 2008 for the twenty-fifth and thirty-third anniversaries of the series, and both out of print, Nicholas Nixon: 40 Years of The Brown Sisters is an important chapter in an ongoing project that we hope will continue for many years more. Nicholas Nixon is currently a professor of photography at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. Sarah Hermanson Meister is a Curator in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. 7

Published to accompany the first retrospective of her work in a US museum since 1973, this book considers Sturtevant as an artist who adopts style as her medium to expose aspects of art making, circulation and canonization. Featuring works drawn from all periods of her career and previously unpublished sketches from the artist’s archive, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the artist’s practice while situating it firmly within postwar American culture.
Published in conjunction with the first large-scale survey of Robert Gober’s career to take place in the United States, this publication presents his works in all mediums, including individual sculptures and immersive sculptural environments, as well as a distinctive selection of drawings, prints, and photographs. An essay by Hilton Als is complemented by an in-depth chronology with extensive input from the artist himself and images from Gober’s archives, including never-beforepublished photographs of works in progress.

Jasper Johns: Regrets Ann Temkin and Christophe Cherix
Contemporary Art 45 colour illustrations • 27.0 x 23.0cm • 76pp ISBN 978 0 870 709586 • August
£16.95 In June 2012, Jasper Johns encountered a photograph of the painter Lucian Freud reproduced in a Christie’s auction catalogue. Inspired not only by the image, but also by the physical qualities of the object itself, Johns took this motif through a succession of cross-medium permutations. He also incorporated into his art the text of a rubber stamp he had had made several years earlier, to allow him to efficiently decline the myriad requests and invitations that come his way: ‘Regrets/Jasper Johns’. But the stamp’s text also calls to mind the more familiar connotations of regret, such as loss, disappointment and remorse,
evoking an enigmatic sense of melancholy. Published in conjunction with an exhibition of this recent series of paintings, drawings, and prints, created over the last year and a half through an intricate combination of techniques, this publication presents each of the new works in full colour. An essay by Ann Temkin, Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, and Christophe Cherix, Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints, MoMA, examine the importance of process and experimentation, the cycle of dead ends and fresh starts, and the incessant interplay of materials, meaning and representation so characteristic of Johns’s career over the last sixty years. Ann Temkin is the The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Christophe Cherix is the Chief Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. 9

Forever Now Painting in the New Millennium Laura Hoptman
Contemporary Art 135 colour illustrations • 30.5 x 24.1cm • 176pp ISBN 978 0 870 709128 • December
£30.00 Forever Now presents the work of seventeen contemporary painters whose works reflect a singular approach that is peculiarly of our time: they are a-temporal, a term coined by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, the originators of the cyberpunk aesthetic. A-temporality or timelessness manifests itself in painting as an ahistoric free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is nowhere to be found, and all eras co-exist. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art that explores the impact of 10
this cultural condition on contemporary painting, this publication features work by an international roster of artists including Joe Bradley, Kerstin Brätsch, Matt Connors, Nicole Eisenman, Mark Grotjahn, Charline von Heyl, Julie Mehretu, Oscar Murillo, Laura Owens and Josh Smith, among others. An overview essay by curator Laura Hoptman is divided into thematic chapters that explore topics such as re-animation and reenactment, recontextualization, ‘Zombie’ painting, and the concomitant ‘Frankenstein approach’, which describes a process of stitching together pieces of the history of painting to create a work of art that would be dead but for its juxtaposed parts, all working in association with one another to propel the work into life Laura Hoptman is a Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

£22.50 Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities is the third iteration in the ‘Issues in Contemporary Architecture’ series. Following the same model as the critically acclaimed Rising Currents: Projects for New York’s Waterfront and Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream, Uneven Growth brings together an international group of scholars, practitioners, and experts of architecture and urbanism in a series of workshops, an exhibition, and a publication to focus on how
emergent forms of tactical urbanism can address the increasing inequality of urban development around the globe. Featuring proposals for six global metropolises – New York, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Hong Kong and Lagos – each developed by a team pairing local practitioners with international researchers, Uneven Growth also documents the brainstorming sessions and workshops. Essays by leading scholars on the issue make the publication a rich resource for students and professionals alike, and a catalyst for worldwide change.

£25.00 The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative at the Guggenheim Museum, launched in early 2013, strives to advance the achievements of contemporary Chinese artists by commissioning major pieces that will be exhibited in the museum and enter its permanent collection. Selected for the first commission, Beijing-based artist Wang Jianwei is recognized throughout Asia and Europe for his bold experiments in new media, video, performance, conceptual and installation art. His 12
highly innovative works consider space and time in elaborate ways, working from the notion that the production of artwork can be a continuous rehearsal. The exhibition comprises a multifaceted space that includes painting, installation, sculpture, film and a theatrical production. The accompanying catalogue includes three texts in English and Chinese: a curatorial essay on Wang’s artistic practice; a look at the artist’s recent work by Gao Shiming; and a text by the artist on contemporary Chinese art. In addition, this volume includes a chronology of the artist’s oeuvre to date. Thomas J. Berghuis is Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Curator of Chinese Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.

ZERO: Countdown to Tomorrow, 1950s–60s By Valerie Hillings with contributions by Daniel Birnbaum, Johan Pas, Dirk Pörschmann and Margriet Schavemaker
Art 240 colour illustrations • 28.0 x 25.4cm • 248pp ISBN 978 0 892 075140 • October
£39.95 ZERO: Countdown to Tomorrow, 1950s–60s is the first large-scale historical survey in the United States dedicated to the German artist group Zero (1957–66). Founded by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, joined by Günther Uecker in 1961, the group expanded to include ZERO, an international network of like-minded artists who shared the group’s aspiration to redefine art in the aftermath of World War II. The catalogue explores the experimental practices developed by this extensive
network of artists whose work anticipated aspects of Land art, Minimalism and Conceptual art. The book is organized around the points of intersection, exchange and collaboration that defined these artists’ shared history. Among its themes are the establishment of new definitions of painting; the introduction of movement and light as both formal and idea-based aspects of art; the use of space as subject and material; the interrogation of the relationship between nature, technology and humankind; and the production of live actions or demonstrations. At once a snapshot of a specific group and a portrait of a generation, this title celebrates the pioneering nature of both the art and the transnational vision advanced by the ZERO network.

This retrospective presents a full range of Jamie Wyeth’s work from his earliest, virtuoso portraits to his most current, mysteriously symbolic, seascapes. By exploring the themes and subjects central to Wyeth’s vision, the authors place him in the context of his own distinguished artistic heritage as well as the long tradition of American realist painting and its contemporary revival. The more than 100 paintings, works on paper and multimedia assemblages lavishly reproduced in this book invite us to explore the world of a prodigiously gifted, adamantly individualist American artist.
This book features over 100 adornments and personal accessories from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which houses the finest collection of Nubian jewelry outside Khartoum. The first comprehensive introduction to the sophisticated jewels of this great empire, it reveals how Nubian artisans employed techniques that would not be reinvented in Europe for another thousand years. Exquisite photography and an authoritative history written by leading experts make this book essential for both jewelry aficionados and anyone interested in the great cultures of the ancient world.

£40.00 Francisco Goya has been widely celebrated as the most important Spanish artist of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the last of the Old Masters and the first of the Moderns, and an astute observer of the human condition in all its complexity. The many-layered and shifting meanings of his imagery have made him one of the most studied artists in the world. Few, however, have made the ambitious attempt to explore his work as a painter, printmaker and draftsman
across media and the timeline of his life. This book does just that, presenting a comprehensive and integrated view of Goya through the themes that continually challenged or preoccupied him, and revealing how he strove relentlessly to understand and describe human behaviour and emotions even at their most orderly or disorderly extremes. Derived from the research for the largest Goya exhibition in North America in a quarter century, this book takes a fresh look at one of the greatest artists in history by examining the fertile territory between the two poles that defined the range of his boundlessly creative personality. Stephanie Loeb Stepanek is Curator of Prints and Drawings, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Frederick Ilchman is Mrs. Russell W. Baker Curator of Paintings, Art of Europe, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Janis A. Tomlinson is the author of six books on Goya and on Spanish painting and is currently Director, University Museums, University of Delaware.

its main watchwords: daring, curiosity and commitment to artists. The first book, released in May, attests to the uniqueness of this exhibition space.

The second book, out in October, invites the reader to delve into a history full of diversity and eclecticism. Bringing together unpublished documents and contributions of major artists, thinkers and authors to the institution, this publication tells a story of encounters, with regards to both the Fondation Cartier’s program as well as the long lasting relationships that were built there.

£25.00 Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890) is one of art history’s greatest colourists. The first years of his career in Holland, however, were influenced by the painters of the Barbizon and Hague schools, whose grey and gloomy palettes he emulated. It was only when he moved to Paris in early 1886 that his work began to gradually change. In February 1888 Van Gogh set out for Arles, where
he lived until early May 1889. He was fascinated by the light of the south and the intensity of colour he observed there, and went on to combine all the sources of inspiration he had drew upon in Paris to create a very personal and expressive modern style. Colours of the North, Colours of the South follows Van Gogh’s palettes from his early years in the Netherlands, through his exploration of theories of colour, especially that of Eugène Delacroix, then the influence of the old masters, but also of the impressionists and the late nineteenth-century avant-garde, up until his discovery of the light of the South and the intensity of the colours it brings out. It is published to mark the opening of the Van Gogh Foundation in Arles. Sjraar Van Heugten, formerly director of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is now an independent art historian. He specializes in late 19th-century western art and especially the work of Vincent Van Gogh.

Tattoo Edited by Anne & Julien
Decorative Arts 220 colour illustrations • 25.5 x 19.6cm • 304pp ISBN 978 2 330 032463 • paperback • August
£54.00 The practice of tattooing is not a recent invention. In 3000 bc, Ötzi covered his body in fifty-seven tattoos. Tattooing has an extensive primitive history in the eastern, African and insular worlds, where it had a social, religious and mystical roles. In the west, meanwhile, it became a mark of infamy, criminality and the circus life, before becoming a mark of identity of urban tribes and a political statement. During the first part of the 20th century, tattooing developed among marginal groups, becoming a clandestine symbol of belonging until overexploitation by the media.
18
Scholarly studies usually look at the ethnological or anthropological values of tattooing, before exploring its sociological angle and different psychological meanings. This work leaves aside academic observations to focus on the artistic nature of the practice, and to celebrate its living, creative, changing essence. The artists featured in the book are world recognized and highly respected by their peers for their contribution to the art. A series of photos presents the most recent trends in modern tattooing, creating a treasure trove of aesthetic graphics firmly rooted in the third millennium. Anne and Julien are founders of HEY!, the modern art & pop culture magazine. They are also performers, journalists, authors and directors.

£35.00 Pop art celebrated the abundance of post WWII consumer goods and the power of mass-media imagery, while simultaneously revealing the darker sides of desire, celebrity, consumerism and politics. From its emergence in the 1950s through to its reinvented forms in the 1980s, this book explores the dynamic engagement of the style with popular culture. Drawn from major public and private collections around the world, it includes over
180 works by 77 artists, including pivotal pieces by such key artists as Lichtenstein, Warhol, Richter and Hockney. It begins with the birth of pop art in the United Kingdom, Europe and America; proceeds through the key years of high pop in the 1960s and early 1970s, examining in particular the place of Australian art and artists; and finishes with the new generation of artists who began exhibiting in the late 1970s with works dating up to 1986.

Labyrinth A Journey Through London’s Underground by Mark Wallinger Edited by Louise Coysh
Contemporary Art 400 colour illustrations • 25.0 x 25.0cm • 320pp ISBN 978 1 908 970169 • October
£24.99 For many Londoners the Underground is the very essence of the city, its arteries carrying the pulse of urban life from the heart of the metropolis out to its farthest extremities. How to capture that breadth in one work of art? How to celebrate a single system while also reflecting the millions of lives that it has transported over the past century and a half? That was the challenge facing Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger. His response was to create a vast, permanent work of public 24
art across the entire network, layered with rich cultural and historical references. In each of the Underground’s 270 stations, he placed a uniquely designed labyrinth, an ancient symbol representing spiritual and imaginative voyages and analogous with the countless circuitous journeys made on the Tube every day. Labyrinth is a compelling record of this extraordinary project. But more than that, it is also a vivid celebration of the London Underground itself. Striking photographs of all the different labyrinths in situ reveal the diverse face and fabric of the network, while facts about each station and the views of its users bring surprising perspectives to the familiar backdrop of the daily commute. Mark Wallinger is one of the UK’s leading contemporary artists. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2007 for his work State Britain.

Public Art (Now) Out of Time, Out of Place Edited by Claire Doherty
Art 300 colour illustrations • 26.5 x 22.0cm • 256pp ISBN 978 1 908 970176 • October
£29.99 The face of public art is changing. For decades, art in the public realm has been characterized by the landmark sculpture or spectacular outdoor event. But in recent years, a new wave of international artists and producers has rejected the monumental scale and mass appeal of such iconic and permanent works. Instead, these individuals and groups favour unconventional forms that unsettle rather than authenticate a site’s sense of identity. Performative
interactions, collective activities and small-scale subversive acts are just some of the unorthodox approaches these artists take. Public Art (Now) is the first highly illustrated survey of the most influential new forms of the past decade that are redefining the practice of public art today. Some forty key projects from around the world are highlighted, with detailed descriptions and dozens of installation and process shots. Interviews and quotes from practitioners, commissioners and commentators reveal the impetus and context for each project, while a comprehensive introduction sets out the conceptual, practical and ethical issues raised by the work. This dynamic combination of projects, places and people is both a must-have reference book for art-world specialists and an accessible introduction to newcomers to the subject. Claire Doherty is an award-winning curator and writer, and the director of Situations, an internationally renowned commissioner and producer of public art.

£60.00 For more than forty years John Gollings has been the photographer of choice – the go-to guy for scores of architects. A Gollings photograph reveals a great deal about the aspirations, aims and beliefs, and the Zeitgeist of a building and its architect’s intentions.

Beautiful Ugly takes a look – in words, pictures and recollections – at the art of Gollings’s 30
photography as he has made his remarkable journey around Australia’s architectural landscape. The images, personally selected by Gollings for this book, open a door into the art of architectural photography as interpreted through the lens and eye of one of Australia’s greatest architectural photographers, a true maker of pictures.

Markham Roberts Decorating The Way I See It Markham Roberts
Interior Design 300 colour illustrations • 30.5 x 25.4 cm • 256pp ISBN 978 0 865 653122 • September
£40.00 Markham Roberts is known for his ability to work in any design vernacular, bringing a fresh approach to traditional and cutting-edge contemporary styles alike. And that refreshing spirit informs every page of this book. Instead of the ordinary project-by-project or room-by-room organization, he has structured the book as he would a project, taking the reader step-by-step through the design process, beginning with the basic interior elements – floor plan and furniture layout, colour palette and fabric schemes, furniture selection and
incorporation of accessories and artwork – and going on to the interface between interior design and architecture/landscaping. Finally, he puts all of the pieces together in a chapter devoted to his own country home. The key to Markham Roberts’s success, as can be seen in every one of the specially commissioned photographs by principal photographer Nelson Hancock, and others, is that he enjoys making his clients happy in their surroundings, and his finished projects are a heightened reflection of their tastes and desires. No matter where his clients are located, Markham Roberts infuses their homes with his personal, and exceptionally personable, touch. Markham Roberts opened his interior design firm in 1997. His work has been published in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, House & Garden, Town & Country and the New York Times. 31

Why the Bear Has No Tail And other Russian Fairy-Tales, Retold and Illustrated by Elena Polenova
£12.00
the accompanying translation are in a private collection that has only recently come to light. This publication, supported by the Polenovo museum-estate, draws on this hitherto untold chapter in Polenova’s life, combining the creative talents of the Russian artist and English journalist. This beautifully crafted book is published to coincide with an exhibition in the UK of the artist’s work in November 2014.
In the 1880s, the artist, designer and illustrator Elena Polenova (1850–98) began illustrating fairy-tales that she noted down during her travels around Russian villages. Ten years later, shortly before her death, Polenova became acquainted with an English journalist called Netta Peacock, who translated several of the tales into English. The original illustrations Polenova created for this English edition – which was never published – and
Elena Polenova, sister of the landscape artist Vasily Polenov, was a leading figure in the Russian craft revival which began at the estate of Abramtsevo, just north of Moscow, in the 1890s. She took traditional folk patterns and developed them into fashionable designs for handmade wooden furniture which was produced by rural people and sold in Moscow boutiques. She was also a talented watercolourist, textile designer and illustrator of children’s fairy-tales. She died in 1898 aged 48 of a brain tumour. Netta Peacock, an English journalist, got to know Polenova shortly before her death and translated several of the fairy-tales.

Soviet Space Dogs Olesya Turkina Concept, edit and design by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell
Culture 350 colour illustrations • 20.0 x 12.0cm • 240pp ISBN 978 0 956 896285 • September
£19.95 This book is dedicated to the Soviet Space Dogs, who played a crucial part in the Soviet space programme. These homeless dogs, plucked from the streets of Moscow, were selected because they fitted the programme’s criteria: weighing no more than 7kg, measuring no more than 35cm in length, robust, photogenic, and with a calm temperament. These characteristics enabled the dogs to withstand the extensive training that was needed to prepare them for suborbital, then for orbital space fights.
On 3 November 1957, the dog Laika was the first Earth-born creature to enter space, making her instantly famous around the world. She did not return. Her death, a few hours after launching, transformed her into a legendary symbol of sacrifice. Two further strays, Belka and Strelka, were the first beings to make it back from space, and were swiftly immortalised in children’s books and cartoons. Images of the Space Dogs proliferated, reproduced on everyday goods across the Soviet Union: cigarette packets, tins of sweets, badges, stamps, and postcards all bore their likeness. This book uses these unique items to illustrate the story (in fact and fiction) of how they became fairy-tale heroines. Monuments now commemorate their pioneering role in conquering the ‘final frontier’: their heroism will never be forgotten. Olesya Turkina is a Senior Research fellow at the State Russian Museum, St Petersburg. She is also a member of the Russian Federal Space Agency. 33

90 Degrees of Shade Image and Identity in the West Indies: 100 Years of Photography in the Caribbean Introduction by Paul Gilroy • Edited by Stuart Baker
Photography 200 illustrations, 150 in colour • 30.0 x 30.0cm • 208pp ISBN 978 0 957 260030 • October
£30.00 A century of photographing the Caribbean is captured in this deluxe, large-format book. The West Indies are both exotic idyll and historical site of conflict and complex identity. Spanning one hundred years of Caribbean history, culture, industry and more, this is a revelatory look at the image and identity of the region – from Calypso to voodoo, reggae music to colonialism. Its beautiful tropicality, off-set by communism, the Slave Trade and revolution, all underpinned by the tourist
industry, feature in the many ways in which the region has been portrayed by the camera’s eye. As well as the islands themselves, the photographs also present the subsequent diaspora of its people – to Britain (starting with West Indian troops in World War II, and the arrival of the Windrush generation), as well as to America and elsewhere. The pathbreaking writer Paul Gilroy contributes an extensive introduction to this fascinating collection. Paul Gilroy is the author of The Black Atlantic (1993), There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack (1987), Black Britain – A Photographic History (2004) and more. Stuart Baker is the editor of a number of photography books, all of which deal with culture and identity. They include Punk 45 (with Jon Savage), Dancehall, Kanaval (with Leah Gordon), Voguing (with Chantal Regnault) and, with Gilles Peterson, Bossa Nova and Freedom, Rhythm and Sound. 39

‘I wanted to create such beautiful portraits that the girls and their fathers themselves would be proud of, while a viewer from another culture can interpret the exact same photographs in a completely different way, depending on their cultural background’ David Magnusson
Purity David Magnusson, Ayperi Karabuda Ecer and Patric Leo
Photography 30 colour illustrations • 34.0 x 29.0cm • 72pp ISBN 978 9 171 262929 • August
£30.00 David Magnusson’s captivating portraits offer a glimpse into the growing American phenomenon of the Purity Ball, a ceremony where young girls pledge before God to live pure lives and remain virgins until marriage. In return, their fathers sign a pledge to protect their daughters’ chastity – but also to live impeccably as role models. With a large-format camera David Magnusson took portraits of fathers and daughters who have participated in Purity Ball ceremonies in Louisiana, Texas, Colorado and Arizona. They are 40
photographed and interviewed near their homes, in the clothes they wore during the ceremony. The result is a frank and startling portrayal of fathers and daughters in a religious America beyond simplifications and clichés. Magnusson’s multi award-winning Purity project is about how the culture that surrounds us affects our values. By raising questions rather than providing answers he puts our own – and our perceptions of others’ standards – at its apex. David Magnusson has received awards and honours from The Swedish Arts Committee, Picture of the Year International, Picture of the Year Sweden as well as being selected for the World Press Photo Masterclass.

A computer science graduate, theorist, critic, historian and professor, Catalan photographer Joan Fontcuberta challenges all forms of selfproclaimed truth. Using the possibilities offered by photographic imagery and its manipulative capabilities, he takes the viewer into a form of reality both convincing and bizarre. This collection of his work focuses on the idea of camouflage: that of the artist, of photography, of reality, and of truth.
This book reproduces Luisi’s marine landscapes. As Françoise Gaillard says in her introduction: “Barbara Luisi takes up the challenge that the sea throws down to painting. But hers is not the diurnal, luminous sea that allowed Monet, Renoir, Manet and many others to play with shades of blue, grey and green. Hers is a nocturnal, shadowy, sombre sea, now black, now blue – a blue so dark it borders on blackness. And only what the poet so aptly dubbed ‘the dark light that falls from the stars’ punctures this dark surface with its cold light. And it matters little that the stunning chiaroscuro that results owes more to moon than the stars!”.
Joan Fontcuberta has been a visiting professor in numerous international institutions, including Harvard University. He founded the magazine Photovision in 1980 and was its editor-in-chief for twenty years.
Barbara Luisi has exhibited her photographs internationally.

£28.00 William Klein is noted for his ironic approach both to media and his extensive use of unusual photographic techniques in the context of photojournalism and fashion photography. Trained as a painter, he studied under Fernand Léger and found early success with exhibitions of his work. However, he soon moved on to photography and achieved widespread fame as a fashion photographer for Vogue and for his photo essays on various cities. Despite having no training as a photographer, Klein won the Prix Nadar in 1957 for his photographs of New York, taken during a

brief return to his hometown in 1954. Klein’s work was considered revolutionary for its “ambivalent and ironic approach to the world of fashion”, its “uncompromising rejection of the then prevailing rules of photography” and for his extensive use of wide-angle and telephoto lenses, natural lighting and motion blur. Last summer the photographer came back to New York – sixty years after his seminal work, Life is Good and Good For You in New York – and documented Brooklyn, a city he refers to as ‘the America of tomorrow’. This elegant book reproduces Klein’s amazing, colour digital photographs of the borough. A trailer to the exclusive behind-the-scenes film, ‘Brooklyn, By William Klein’, can be seen at the following link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqHx3c7gNDk. William Klein (b1928) is a legendary photographer.
