Hokusai’s Fuji

Katsushika Hokusai

Edited by Kyoko Wada

A wonderfully illustrated exploration of one of Hokusai’s key motifs: Mount Fuji.

• Includes every illustration from Hokusai’s two masterpieces, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji.

• Explores Hokusai’s near obsession with Mount Fuji. Among the prints are three of the artist’s most famous: The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Fine Wind, Clear Morning and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit

• By the time he created his second great tribute to Mount Fuji, three volumes comprising One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, he was using the artist names Gakyo rojin (‘Old Man Crazy to Paint’), and Manji (‘Ten Thousand Things’, or ‘Everything’).

Including all the illustrations from these two masterpieces, this book also features many of Hokusai’s earlier renditions of the mountain, as well as later paintings. In this way, through Mount Fuji, this volume traces a history of Hokusai’s oeuvre overall.

This beautifully illustrated catalogue and its accompanying exhibition at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris demonstrate how Modigliani’s partnership with his gallerist Paul Guillaume influenced his painting. When Amedeo Modigliani arrived in Paris in 1906, the Jewish-Italian artist was a painter. His meeting with sculptor Constantin Brancusi in 1909 was a revelation, and inspired Modigliani to sculpt—almost exclusively—until 1914, when he met art dealer Paul Guillaume. The effects of this meeting were sudden and total. Modigliani would return to painting and never look back. This volume unveils the relationship that prompted this change through analysis of Modigliani’s paintings and Guillaume’s writings.

benandsebastian : Silent Parties

Languages: English, Danish

Edited by benandsebastian

Photographs by David Stjernholm

Ruttkowski;68 – 10 Years

Ruttkowski;68

Silent Parties is benandsebastian’s recently completed public commission for the Court of Aarhus. This artwork focuses on mute, nonhuman participants in legal history, spanning from a 15th century case involving a cock being tried for allegedly laying an egg, to a contemporary case examining whether life-size, singing and dancing robots at an American restaurant chain should be considered live performers.

benandsebastian have collaborated with specialists working within the fields of law, robotics, ethics, anthropology and cognitive science, addressing ways in which nonhumans have been silent, but also revelatory, parties in legal history.

Plastic World

Edited by Martina Weinhart

Reena Saini Kallat: Deep Rivers Run Quiet

Edited by Helen Hirsch

Plastic is everywhere. It permeates our everyday lives, is inexpensive and available worldwide. Thanks to their literally astonishing plasticity, plastics soon began to fascinate artists as well - both as a symptom and a symbol of mass culture. In the brief history of the “Plastic Age” the versatile substance transformed from the epitome of progress, utopian spirit, and democratization of consumerism into a threat. Plastic World offers a broad panorama of the artistic use of plastic and a position towards a matter that matters to us all.

The Great Masters of Art

Life and work of the artist and style icon Frida Kahlo in a compact overview.

Frida Kahlo has become an icon of art with her powerfully expressive work. Her pictures not only reflect a view of herself, her fears, the biography of her illness, her passions and her joie de vivre; they also take up subjects which were regarded by society as taboo. As a pioneer of the feminist movement, this Mexican artist serves women the world over as a figure of identification. Kahlo’s biography had a direct influence on her subjects: her not uncomplicated marriage to the artist Diego Rivera, her tragic accident, and her childlessness, loneliness and grief.

His paintbrush set everything in motion: the landscape of Provence, the colourful still lifes, his portraits and the picturesque coast of southern France. More than any other artist, Paul Cézanne, the “Father of Modernism”, captured the light and the play of colours of the South in his pictures and lent them through his new pictorial language a liveliness and dynamism which continue to fascinate viewers to this day.

In this publication the author Christoph Wagner positions Cézanne as an artistic genius who opened up for future generations a completely new view of the world through his paintings and watercolours.

Lucio Fontana Catalogue Raisonné (Bilingual edition)

Catalogue Raisonné of Ceramic Sculptures

Edited by Luca Massimo Barbero

The work of Grazia Varisco (Milan 1937) is among the most interesting and innovative on the contemporary European art scene, being bound up with research into kinetic, programmed or more generally “exact” art. The combinations of planning and chance, play and process, have produced a range of surprising and always coherent results. This book, edited by Marco Meneguzzo, gives an account of over sixty years of continuous achievement through new critical essays, a broad selection of works and a scholarly apparatus that make it a staple work for understanding the artist.

A Picture of Poetry

The Artist’s Books of Dia al-Azzawi

Edited by Louisa Macmilan

While the incorporation of Arabic text in paintings, sculptures and graphic design is one of the best-known features of the work of the Iraqi artist Dia al-Azzawi (born in 1939), these artist’s books (dafatir, plural of daftar) more directly reflect Azzawi’s love of literature itself and how it informs his overall practice. A deep fascination with poetry, both written and spoken, led him to create over 100 artworks based on a huge range of literature, including poetry from the medieval and modern eras and works by Arab and non-Arab writers.

Hannah Villiger: Amaze Me

Edited by Madeleine Schuppli and Yasmin Afschar

George Floyd is an African-American who died during his arrest on May 25, 2020, when a policeman suffocated him by pressing his knee onto Floyd’s neck for nine minutes to immobilize him. After seeing the images of Floyd’s death, Giangiacomo Rocco di Torrepadula shot nine photographs, one for each of those nine minutes, and sent postcards of one of them. The reaction was surprising, with more than 300 responses from well-known cultural figures, artists, and creatives, as well as the general public. Their answers were full of emotions, thoughts, personal reflections, drawings, photographs, and even musical compositions and videos, all published in this book.

Hannah Villiger (1951–1997) was an extraordinary voice in late twentieth-century contemporary art, but her oeuvre came to an abrupt end with her untimely death. This publication traces a path from the sculptures she created in the 1970s and her little-known drawings to the black-and-white photographs and works with the Polaroid camera that Villiger started making in the 1980s. This monograph is part of the series initiated by Muzeum Susch and Skira editore dedicated to the rediscovery of women artists who have been neglected by the main discourses and canons of art history.

Alex Webb: Dislocations

Alex Webb

A contemporary reimagining of Alex Webb’s long out-of-print, limited edition book Dislocations.

• Recognized as a pioneer of colour photography, Alex Webb reimagines his 1998 limited edition artist’s book Dislocations for the 21st century.

• Originally gathering images from disparate locations over Webb’s oeuvre, this revisited mediation on the act of photography as a form of dislocation was spurred by the pandemic, its closed borders and disrupted travel.

• Includes new photographs taken in the 25 years since first publication.

With an essay by Garnette Cadogan, this characteristically exquisite book brings a fresh perspective to Webb’s expansive catalogue, and speaks to the palpable sense of dislocation in our time.

Lee Miller. Man Ray

Fashion - Love - War

Edited by Victoria Noel-Johnson

Model, photographer, muse, the first female war correspondent to report the horrors of the concentration camps liberated by American troops, and 20thcentury icon. Lee Miller was all this and much more.

Through approximately 140 photographs by Lee Miller and Man Ray, some objects d’art, and video documents loaned by Lee Miller Archives and Fondazione Marconi, this book intends to do justice to this woman as beautiful as she was clever and talented, taking her out of Man Ray’s overpowering shadow. It will reveal a deep but complicated relationship more objectively (Man Ray was first her teacher, then lover, and in the end friend), and document the effect they both had on each other and how it inspired their work.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition in Venice, the volume features texts by the curator, Ami Bouhassane (Miller’s grand-daughter), and Anthony Penrose (Miller’s son). It also includes portraits by Man Ray of friends and important protagonists of the period (Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí), as well as surrealist shots of Lee Miller in which she seeks to investigate and reveal her soul and torments.

Her series, in black and white, mixes landscape shots with microscopic photographs of organic elements, both taken in various French forests. In her exploration of the Earth surface, the artist blurs the scale of her images, immersing the viewer into a universe that seems both strange and familiar. This work is extended by a conversation between Clanet and eco-acoustician Jérôme Sueur, a specialist of the “melody of insects”.

Tales of Survival and Loss

Prickett

A long journey through war fields from Irish photographer, Ivor Pickett.

The word which returns in the work of Ivor Prickett is home, ‘house’. From 2006 onwards, in his images that record the turmoil and vicissitudes of the various war fronts that have shocked and still shock Europe, for many people home is a distant mirage, an irreparable loss, a place of memory where the hundreds of displaced persons will perhaps never be able to return, the dream of those who are now forced to make do with collection centres, refugee camps, temporary accommodations that risk becoming tragic and absolute permanence.

Chloe Sherman: Renegades. San Francisco: The 1990s

Japan on a Glass Plate

The Adventure of Photography in Yokohama and Beyond, 1853–1912

Sebastian Dobson

In the 1990s, The Mission District in San Franciso was the center of a queer cultural renaissance, and the feeling of community was palpable. Chloe Sherman was both a member of this community and an ardent visual chronicler. Her documentary photographic work on 35mm film stems from a commitment to capturing the vibrancy, tenderness, individuality, resilience, and joy within this subculture that was derided by mainstream society. Distilling the spirit of the time, her debut monograph is a candid portrait of a vibrant era that connects current and future generations to the pulse of San Francisco at a pivotal chapter in queer history.

The book shares lessons we might learn from the ways of pastoral nomads, such as living lightly on the land and working creatively with and through the sometimes challenging natural environments within which they move and know intimately. Themes under exploration include mobility and self-sufficiency; materialism, consumerism and environmental destruction.

Preben Holst: The Stranger

Edited by Joakim Borda-Pedreira

This book presents The Stranger, a photographic series that spans over nearly two decades. It began when the photographer Preben Holst decided to approach a stranger in a park and asked if he could do a portrait of him. Fascinated by the strength and immediacy of the resulting images, he continued to make portraits of strangers in cities such as Copenhagen, London, and Oslo, where he now lives. The young men captured by Holst’s analogue camera become testimonies of the subtle and gradual changes that urban masculine identity has undergone since the turn of the millennium.

The latest architecture in and out of the capital

They include smart transformations of cottages, barns and GDR-bungalows into highly contemporary housing, a factory made of shipping containers, circular interior fittings for the Impact Hub Berlin, and eye-catching new mobility projects such as the Holstenfleet in the North German city of Kiel.

In the world of typography, it is not uncommon to see combinations of serif and sans serif typefaces in the same design. However, it takes skill to combine them in order to avoid tension and clashes, and ensure maximum readability of the text in the design.

From font weights to classifications, each font has its own distinct personality, and should be carefully paired to convey the right tone and mood of the design. Featuring a selection of type specimens, their design applications, and the thoughts that go behind the craft, Sans in Use / Serif in Use collates the best combinations of the two typeface categories and serves as a reference point for inspiration-seeking designers and typographers alike.

Givenchy Catwalk

The Complete Collections

The Catwalk Series

The first and only comprehensive overview of Givenchy’s collections, presented through catwalk photography and published in collaboration with the celebrated fashion house.

Founded by the dashing Hubert de Givenchy in 1952, the house would go on to symbolize the height of effortless elegance, as embodied by Givenchy’s muse (and close friend) Audrey Hepburn. After its founder’s retirement in 1995, John Galliano first took the reins of the house, before being succeeded by a young Alexander McQueen, who created his first (and only) haute couture collections for Givenchy. More recently, Italian designer Riccardo Tisci took the brand into a resolutely contemporary direction following his appointment in 2005 (dressing icons such as Beyoncé), followed by Clare Waight Keller and American designer Matthew M. Williams.

This definitive publication – the only monograph in print on the house of Givenchy – opens with a concise history of the fashion house before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Givenchy’s history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.

Yves Saint Laurent Inside Out

Carlos Muñoz Yagüe

Introduction by Philippe Garner

An intimate exploration of Yves Saint Laurent’s creative world, captured by photographer – and son of the couturier’s right-hand woman, AnneMarie Muñoz – Carlos Muñoz-Yagüe.

The book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted exploration of the life of an haute couture house: from informal, atmospheric portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, drawing and creating, to the behind-thescenes work of the ‘petites mains’ in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented. The house’s world-famous models also feature, captured during pre-collection fittings in the house’s grandiose salons and in electric backstage moments before the shows.

A moving and visually stunning tribute to the iconic Yves Saint Laurent house as you’ve never seen it before, this will be a must-have for fashion and photography fans.

Yves Saint Laurent: Form and Fashion

Serena Bucalo-Mussely

A fashion revolutionary, Yves Saint Laurent and his creations were resolutely modern. His ongoing exploration of shape and form incessantly pushed the boundaries of his creativity, and lead to his most groundbreaking and iconic designs. His works were influenced by the artistic trends of the time—from simple and geometric abstraction to constructivism and concrete art.

This volume accompanies an exhibition at Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris from June 9, 2023 to January 14, 2024.

Ornament is Not a Crime

Contemporary interiors with a postmodern twist

Rebecca Gross

An escape from minimalism, celebrating bold colour, curves, patterns and the unconventional in contemporary interiors.

Today a new wave of interior designers are once again turning to postmodernism for inspiration. These contemporary rebels are challenging the Modernist gospel of ‘ornament is crime’. Breaking free of the minimalism of mid-century modern and the neutrals of Scandinavian design to inject homes with pop and personality.

These twenty-one homes from around the world transform the ordinary and everyday with joyful colours and patterns, the celebration of surfaces and the juxtaposition of materials. There are twists and plays on shape, scale and form, and expressive and symbolic references, as well as a healthy dose of wit and whimsy. Whether you’re a design enthusiast or simply looking to infuse your home with some fresh inspiration, this book is sure to spark your imagination.

The Slavic Myths

Noah Charney and Svetlana Slapšak

A Pulitzer-nominated author and one of the great public intellectuals of Slavic culture bring to life the unfamiliar myths and legends of the Slavic world.

Though less familiar to us than the legends of ancient Egypt, Greece and Scandinavia, in the world of Slavic mythology we find much that we can recognize: petulant deities, demons and faeries; witches, the sinister vestica, whose magic may harm or heal; a supreme god who can summon storms and hurl thunderbolts. The vampire – usually the only Serbo-Croatian word in any foreign-language dictionary – and the werewolf emerge from the shallow graves of Slavic belief.

Solve intriguing and challenging puzzles based on the worldrenowned British Museum collection.

The Rosetta Stone, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Assyrian reliefs, the Lewis Chessmen: many mysteries of the past are found within the walls of the British Museum, home to some of the most magnificent treasures in the world. Now you can learn more about its famous artefacts as you work your way through this beautifully designed, generously illustrated puzzle book.

The Enemies of Rome

From Hannibal to Attila the Hun

Philip Matyszak

This engrossing book looks at the growth and eventual demise of Rome from the viewpoint of those vanquished by Rome. They varied from the highly cultivated Greeks and Egyptians to wild and rebellious Britons and Germans, to the Asiatic empires of the Persians and Parthians. Their leaders were driven by ambition, vindictive hatred, fear, political calculation, or naked greed. Some fought to preserve their heritage, some for personal survival, and others from a warrior’s love of battle.
