Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art Ann Temkin
Art 300 colour illustrations • 26.7 x 22.9cm • 256pp ISBN 978 0 870 709678 • June
£35.00 Painting and Sculpture provides a fresh look at The Museum of Modern Art’s collection of painting and sculpture as it stands in 2015. The nearly 300 objects represented in this book affirm the convictions of the Museum’s founders in 1929, who believed that modern art rivals in its greatness the art of any previous era. The catalogue opens with an essay by Ann Temkin, which addresses the historical construction of the Museum’s collection and explores the
shifting issues that have guided its acquisitions. The thoughtful selection of the works included in this catalogue highlight the range of artworks and ideas that constitute the evolving foundation of the Museum’s collection, which includes such legendary favourites as Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night (1889), Pablo Picasso’s Girl Before A Mirror (1932) and Andy Warhol’s Gold Marilyn Monroe (1962). The selection also celebrates lesser-known master works that underscore the vast breadth of the collection. With 126 years spanning the distance between the works on the first and last pages of the book, Painting and Sculpture offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in the multitude of artistic approaches encompassed under the banner of modern art. Ann Temkin is The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art.

Photography 280 colour illustrations • 30.5 x 24.1cm • 256pp ISBN 978 0 870 709616 • May
£38.00 Published to accompany the first museum exhibition in the United States of the work of German-born Grete Stern and Argentine Horacio Coppola, From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires explores the individual accomplishments and parallel developments of two of the foremost practitioners of avant-garde photography in Europe and Latin America. The book traces their artistic development from the late 1920s, when Stern established a pioneering commercial studio, ringl + pit, with her friend Ellen (Rosenberg) 4
Auerbach, and Coppola began groundbreaking experimentations with photography in his native Argentina, to their joint studies at the Bauhaus and travels through Europe in the early 1930s, through the mid-1950s, by which time they had firmly established the foundations of modern photography in Buenos Aires. Featuring a selection of newly translated original texts by Stern and Coppola, and essays by curators Roxana Marcoci and Sarah Meister and scholar Jodi Roberts, From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires is the first publication in English to examine the critical intersections that defined the notable careers of these two influential artists. Roxana Marcoci is a Senior Curator, and Sarah Meister a curator, in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Jodi Roberts is a scholar of Latin American art.

Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971 Edited by Klaus Biesenbach and Christophe Cherix
Contemporary Art 250 illustrations • 30.5 x 24.1cm • 240pp ISBN 978 0 870 709661 • May
£38.00 Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971 examines the beginnings of Ono’s extensive career, demonstrating her pioneering role in visual art, performance and music during the 1960s and early 1970s. The exhibition begins in New York in December 1960, where Ono initiated a performance series with La Monte Young in her Chambers Street loft. Over the course of the decade, Ono earned international recognition, staging Cut Piece in Kyoto and Tokyo in 1964,
exhibiting at the Indica Gallery in London in 1966, and launching with John Lennon their global War Is Over! campaign in 1969. Ono returned to New York in the early 1970s and organized an unsanctioned ‘one woman show’ at The Museum of Modern Art. Over forty years after Ono’s unofficial MoMA debut, the Museum will present its first exhibition dedicated exclusively to the artist’s work. The publication evaluates the broader cultural context of Ono’s early work and features five sections reflecting her geographic locations during this period and the corresponding evolution of her artistic practice. Each chapter includes an introduction by a guest scholar, primary documents culled from newspapers, magazines and journals, and a selection by the artist of her texts and drawings. Klaus Biesenbach is the Director of MoMA PS1 and MoMA’s Chief Curator at Large. Christophe Cherix is Chief Curator, Drawings and Prints, at MoMA. 5

In 1941, Jacob Lawrence, then just 23 years old, completed a series of 60 small tempera paintings about the Great Migration. The series has since become a landmark in the history of AfricanAmerican art. This book is published in conjunction with exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art and The Phillips Collection marking the centenary of the Great Migration’s start (1915–16). Essays and commentaries contextualize and explore Lawrence’s art, as well as the social history of the Migration. Ten specially commissioned poems, inspired by Lawrence’s Migration Series, are introduced by the poet Elizabeth Alexander.
Published to coincide with the exhibition on view at The Museum of Modern Art from 3 April to 7 September 2015, this vividly illustrated children’s book about the artist Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000) and his childhood in New York during the 1930s is full of colourful street scenes that evoke the rich African-American culture and community that surrounded Lawrence as he worked on his famous Migration Series.
Leah Dickerman and Elsa Smithgall are curators at, respectively, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C. 6

Hurry Up and Wait Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler Afterword by Sarah Hermanson Meister
Photography 48 colour illustrations • 20.3 x 15.2cm • 64pp ISBN 978 0 870 709593 • April
£9.95 Hurry Up and Wait, the second volume in a new series of collaborations between artist Maira Kalman, author Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket), and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, is a whimsical collection of images that capture people in motion – or not. In snapshots by the likes of Lee Friedlander, Stephen Shore, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Dorothea Lange, Garry Winogrand, Helen Levitt, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, some people stride forth, dash across streets, race on bicycles, and jump over puddles, while others
form snaking lines, daydream on park benches, and linger on sidewalks with friends. So what’s the rush? With 11 new vibrant illustrations by Kalman inspired by photographs in MoMA’s collection, and thought-provoking prose by Handler that ponder the merits of action, Hurry Up and Wait is a spirited reflection on the daily rhythms of life. Maira Kalman is a bestselling and award-winning artist, illustrator, and writer whose books include 13 Words (with Daniel Handler), And the Pursuit of Happiness and The Elements of Style. Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket, is the internationally renowned author of the A Series of Unfortunate Events series, whose books have sold over 60 million copies in 44 languages. Sarah Hermanson Meister is the series editor and Curator in the Department of Photography, MoMA.

Latin America in Construction Architecture 1955–1980 Edited by Barry Bergdoll, Carlos Eduardo Comas and Jorge Francisco Liernur, with Patricio del Real
Architecture 559 colour illustrations • 30.5 x 24.1cm • 320pp ISBN 978 0 870 709630 • March
£40.00 In 1955 The Museum of Modern Art staged ‘Latin American Architecture since 1945’, a landmark survey of modern architecture in Latin America. Published to tie in with an exhibition that revisits the region on the 60th anniversary of that important show, Latin America in Construction offers a complex overview of the positions, debates, and architectural creativity from Mexico and Cuba to the Southern Cone between 1955 and the early 1980s. 8
The publication features a wealth of original materials that have never before been brought together to illustrate a period of self-questioning, exploration and complex political shifts that saw the emergence of the notion of Latin America as a landscape of development. Richly illustrated with architectural drawings, vintage photographs, sketches and newly commissioned photographs, the catalogue presents the work of architects who met the challenges of modernization with innovative formal, urbanistic and programmatic solutions. Today, when Latin America is again providing exciting and challenging architecture and urban responses, Latin America in Construction brings this vital post-war period to light. Barry Bergdoll is a Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Carlos Eduardo Comas is a Professor at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Jorge Francisco Liernur is a Professor and former dean of the architecture school at The Universidad Torcuato di Tella. Patricio del Real is a Curatorial Assistant at MoMA.

Design and Violence Edited by Paola Antonelli and Jamer Hunt with Michelle Fisher
Design 200 colour illustrations • 26.7 x 22.9cm • 232pp ISBN 978 0 870 709685 • June
£29.95 Published to accompany an online experiment launched by The Museum of Modern Art in October 2013, this book brings together controversial, provocative, and compelling design projects with leading voices from a variety of fields, all of whom explore the relationship between design and violence. Each invited author responds to one object chosen by the curators – ranging from an AK-47 to a Euthanasia Rollercoaster, from plastic handcuffs to the Stuxnet digital virus – and invites dialogue,
comments, reflection and active, occasionally fierce, debate. Examples of questions posed include: Can we design a violent act to be more humane? How far can the state go to protect its borders from immigration before it becomes an act of violence? Is violence ‘male’? These experimental and wide-ranging conversations host voices from the fields of art and design, science, law, criminal justice, ethics, finance, journalism, and social justice, making Design and Violence an invaluable resource for lively discussions and classroom curricula. Paola Antonelli is the Director of Research & Development and Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture & Design at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Jamer Hunt is a design critic and the founding director of the MFA program in Transdisciplinary Design at Parsons The New School for Design, New York.

On Kawara – Silence Jeffrey Weiss and Anne Wheeler with Daniel Buren, Whitney Davis, Maria Gough, Ben Highmore, Tom McCarthy & Susan Stewart
Contemporary Art 430 colour illustrations • 32.4 x 24.8cm • 264pp ISBN 978 0 892 075195 • February
£40.00 On Kawara – Silence is published in conjunction with a major exhibition of On Kawara’s post1964 work at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The book, whose structure was devised in close collaboration with the artist, contains essays by leading scholars and critics in various fields, including art history, literary studies and cultural anthropology. It also includes substantial, authoritative descriptions of every category of his production – the first time such comprehensive 10
information has appeared in print. Richly illustrated, On Kawara – Silence reproduces many examples of the Date Paintings (Today), calendars (One Hundred Years and One Million Years), postcards (I Got Up), telegrams (I Am Still Alive), news cuttings (I Read), maps (I Went), and lists (I Met) that comprised the artist’s practice beginning in the mid-1960s. Among other groups of works, the book includes images of the ninety-seven Date Paintings (accompanied by their newspaper-lined storage boxes) that Kawara produced during a three-month run of daily painting in 1970. The catalogue also contains reproductions of paintings and drawings produced in Paris and New York in the years that precede the works for which Kawara is best known, as well as rare images of materials related to his working process. Jeffrey Weiss is a senior curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Anne Wheeler is an assistant curator at the same institution.
Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris
Bruce Nauman Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain
Contemporary Art Illustrated in colour throughout • 18.0 x 14.0cm • 128pp ISBN 978 2 869 251175 • April
£25.00 A highly acclaimed and extremely prolific artist, Bruce Nauman (b. 1941) has been active since the early 1970s. Working in mediums such as sculpture, video, film, installation, performance, and printmaking, he shies away from developing a single characteristic style. His work toys with text and fragmented images of the human body. Often provocative in nature, he connects physical realities of violence, sex, and death with visceral, spiritual messages, like an early neon sign proclaiming, ‘the true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.’
On top of many achievements in his career, Nauman recently represented the United States at the 2009 Venice Biennale and was awarded the Golden Lion prize for best national pavilion. This book accompanies Nauman’s major exhibition at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, showing in Paris from 15 March to 14 June 2015. This will be the most significant exhibition of his work in France since the retrospective organized by the Centre Pompidou in 1997. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition will bring together eight works hitherto unseen in France, some of which are his latest projects.

In the Wake Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11 Anne Nishimura Morse and Anne E. Havinga With contributions by Michio Hayashi, Marilyn Ivy and Tomoko Nagakura
Photography 150 colour illustrations • 31.7 x 22.2cm • 240pp ISBN 978 0 878 468270 • April
£40.00 The catastrophic events of March 11, 2011 – the earthquake, tsunami, and ensuing nuclear meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant – have been called the triple disaster in Japan. Among the first artists to respond to these experiences were photographers. Some attempted to document the devastation, drawing on a long history of depicting natural disasters in Japanese art. Others took up the challenges of depicting an
12
invisible threat that calls up the collective memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The resulting images are by turns poignant, searing, disturbing and often strangely beautiful. With interpretive essays from leading American and Japanese scholars and statements from the artists themselves, this book presents the unfolding process of how photography can address destruction, social change, anxiety and memory, through images that express emotions beyond words. Artists include: Takashi Arai, Nobuyoshi Araki, Ishu Han, Naoya Hatakeyama, Takashi Homma, Kikuji Kawada, Rinko Kawauchi, Keizo Kitajima, Kozo Miyoshi, Masato Seto, Lieko Shiga, Shimpei Takeda, Masaru Tatsuki, Daisuke Yokota and Tomoko Yoneda.

Hokusai Sarah E. Thompson With an essay by Joan Wright and Philip Meredith
Art 135 colour illustrations • 25.4 x 19.1cm • 176pp ISBN 978 0 878 468256 • April
£20.00 Over a century and a half after his death, Katsushika Hokusai is still one of Japan’s most popular and influential artists. This handy volume presents the wide range of Hokusai’s artistic production in terms of one of his most remarkable characteristics: his intellectual ingenuity. It attempts to answer the question of how the self-styled ‘Man Mad about Drawing’ approached his subjects – how he depicted human bodies in motion, combined figures and landscape, represented three-dimensional objects on a two-
dimensional surface, and used tech¬niques of illusionism or adjusted reality for greater visual or emotional effect. Including some fifty stunning and unusual paintings, prints, and drawings from the peerless Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this book is a treasure trove that introduces readers to a witty, wide-ranging and inimitably ingenious Hokusai. Sarah E. Thompson is Assistant Curator for Japanese Prints at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

A compelling story of archaeology and art history told as the biography of one exceptional work of art, this book recounts the story of the mysterious sculpture known worldwide as the Boston Green Head. The story of this remarkable sculpture is also the story of the West’s evolving understanding of Egyptian art – from initial assertions that it was too refined to be the product of a lesser civilization, to recognition of the sophistication of the culture that produced it.
This generously illustrated volume gathers works by leading figures in African-American art from the 19th century to the present – Henry Ossawa Tanner, Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Lois Mailou Jones, Gordon Parks, Wifredo Lam, Kara Walker, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall – alongside many others who deserve to be better known. Arranged thematically and accompanied by authoritative texts that provide historical and interpretive context, this book invites readers to share in a rich outpouring of art that meets shared challenges with individual creative responses.

Decorative Arts 126 colour illustrations • 22.9 x 17.8cm • 224pp ISBN 978 0 878 468225 • paperback • January
£15.00 The world-renowned collection of European decorative arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is full of sumptuous surprises. Some delicate and some divine, the objects range from an opulent automaton to a richly wrought crozier, and vary in scale from a salt cellar in the form of a crustacean to the fine wood panelling of an entire dining room. Their dates of manufacture span more than a thousand years – the earliest made shortly after the fall of the Roman Empire and the most recent in the computer age. They reach across space as well as time, bearing
evidence not only of cultural exchange among European countries, such as England and France, but also of the revival of ancient motifs and of contemporary trade with India and China. Presented here with an introduction to the topic and individual texts on each piece, these diverse works are organized chronologically and by stylistic movements to highlight their hidden histories. Thomas Michie is Russell B. and Andrée Beauchamp Stearns Senior Curator of Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Jan Schoonhoven Antoon Melissen
Art 130 colour illustrations • 25.4 x 20.3cm • 126pp ISBN 978 1 941 701041 • April
£32.00 Born in Delft in 1914 and regarded as one of the most important Dutch artists of the twentieth century, Jan Schoonhoven was an active and influential player in the course of major European post-war developments in art, particularly related to monochromatic, serialized abstraction. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the first significant presentation of Schoonhoven’s work in New York in many years. Serving as an important contribution to literature on the artist published in English, this extensive exhibition catalogue is
16
anchored by richly detailed plates of the sculptural reliefs and works on paper featured in the show, all of which were made between the mid-1950s and early 1970s. During that period, Schoonhoven focused on the production of white, monochrome reliefs and black ink drawings whose integration of meticulous control and automatic gesture exemplify the artist’s ability to balance rigorous order with the expressiveness of the hand. Featuring new scholarship by Antoon Melissen, one of the foremost authorities on Schoonhoven’s work, as well as documentary photographs and an illustrated chronology, this publication offers an invaluable introduction to the work of this pioneering champion of the proto-Minimalist tendencies that sprang up in Europe and the United States in the early 1960s. Antoon Melissen is an Amsterdam and Berlin-based writer, art historian, and independent scholar specializing in art of the 1950s through the 1970s.

No Problem: Cologne/New York 1984–1989 Introduction by David Zwirner Diedrich Diederichsen and Bob Nickas
Contemporary Art c. 200 colour illustrations • 27.9 x 22.9cm • 224pp ISBN 978 1 941 701027 • April
£40.00 This seminal publication examines the latter half of the 1980s through the lens of international art scenes based at the time in Cologne and New York. The 1980s marked a period during which art being produced in and around Cologne gained international attention. A burgeoning art scene supported the emerging work of Cologne-based artists, which was exhibited in the new galleries there along with the latest contemporary art from the US. Conversely, the work of German artists was presented in breakout exhibitions at a new
generation of galleries and art spaces in New York. Big, bold and vibrant, this Pentagram-designed publication revives the conversation, reproducing in full colour every one of the over 100 immensely varied artworks by 22 international artists included in the massive exhibition shown at both David Zwirner’s spaces in New York. Beyond its stunning visual component, the book features crucial new scholarship by Diedrich Diederichsen and Bob Nickas; and an illustrated timeline for both cities. It also includes an arsenal of compelling archival material, from documentary photographs from the period and reproductions of Cologne’s historic Spex Magazine, to reviews of exhibitions from the period that demonstrate the development of critical reception. Taken as a whole, this ambitious exhibition catalogue encapsulates the energy and heart embodied by this fascinating and fecund moment in global art history. Diedrich Diederichsen is a professor of the Contemporary Art Theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Bob Nickas has worked as a critic and curator in New York since 1984. 17

John McCracken (1934–2011) occupies a singular position within the recent history of American art, as his work melds the restrained formal qualities of Minimalist sculpture with a distinctly West Coast sensibility expressed through colour, form and finish. This catalogue charts the evolution of McCracken’s diverse oeuvre, encompassing both well-known and lesser-seen examples of the artist’s production from the early 1960s up through his death in 2011, presenting a range of sculptures, paintings and sketches.
Throughout his career, James Bishop has engaged European and American traditions of post-War abstraction while developing a subtle, poetic, and highly unique visual language of his own. This book, published to accompany the recent exhibition at David Zwirner in New York, features works spanning the artist’s prolific career, including several large paintings on canvas from the 1960s to the early 1980s, as well as small-scale paintings on paper, to which Bishop turned exclusively in 1986 and continues to produce today.

Bridget Riley: The Stripe Paintings 1961–2014 Robert Kudielka, Paul Moorhouse and Richard Shiff Interview by Robert Kudielka
Contemporary Art 99 illustrations, 92 in colour • 30.5 x 25.4cm 180pp inc 2 gatefolds • ISBN 978 0 989 980975 • January
£35.00 Published on the occasion of Bridget Riley’s recent major exhibition at David Zwirner in London, this illustrated catalogue offers intimate explorations of paintings and works on paper produced by the artist over the past 50 years, focusing specifically on her recurrent use of the stripe motif. Riley has devoted her practice to engaging viewers through elementary shapes such as lines, circles, curves and squares, creating visual experiences that at times trigger optical sensations of vibration and movement.
Created in close collaboration with the artist, the publication’s beautifully produced colour plates offer a selection of the iconic works from the exhibition. These include the artist’s first stripe works in colour from the 1960s, a series of vertical compositions from the 1980s that demonstrate her so-called ‘Egyptian’ palette – a ‘narrow chromatic range that recalled natural phenomena’ – and an array of her modestly scaled studies, executed with gouache on graph paper and rarely before seen. A range of texts about Riley’s original and enduring practice grounds and contextualizes the images, while little-seen archival imagery shows Riley at work over the years. Robert Kudielka is former Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art at the University of the Arts, Berlin. Paul Moorhouse is 20th-Century Curator at the National Portrait Gallery.

This extensively illustrated catalogue – the first comprehensive Reinhardt overview in 13 years – reproduces the artist’s signature ‘black’ paintings (his 60 x 60 inch canvases of the 1960s, which he considered to be his ‘ultimate’ aesthetic expression, and ‘the last paintings that anyone can paint’), as well as his cartoons and photographic slide presentations. Published to document a critically lauded exhibition at David Zwirner in New York in 2013, the monograph includes new scholarship by curator Robert Storr, in addition to an extensive illustrated chronology of the artist’s life.
Originally published in 2010 on the occasion of Against the Wall, Dumas’s first solo presentation at David Zwirner in New York, this much sought-after exhibition catalogue – which sold out shortly after publication – has been reprinted in 2014 to coincide with the artist’s European retrospective exhibition ‘The Image as Burden’, organized by Tate Modern, London, in collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Fondation Beyeler, Basel, travelling throughout 2015.

Neo Rauch: At the Well Norman Rosenthal
Contemporary Art 62 colour illustrations • 31.8 x 25.4cm • 80pp ISBN 978 1 941 701119 • April
£32.00 At the Well, produced to coincide with an exhibition of Neo Rauch’s new works at David Zwirner in New York, brings together both small and large format paintings that expand the artist’s unique iconography of eccentric figures, animals and hybrids within vaguely familiar but imaginary settings. This oversized catalogue – designed in close collaboration with the artist – is anchored by sixteen stunning plates and numerous 1:1 details that bring to life, and gives viewers intimate access to, these compelling compositions. Themes of rebirth and new beginnings abound: Rauch
consistently creates characters who appear to be in the process of transformation, literally on the brink of renaissance. In addition, At the Well features an illuminating essay by art historian and curator Sir Norman Rosenthal, who presents a careful reading of Rauch’s new work, including its relationship to fairy tales; the influence of the German Democratic Republic on his development as an artist in the 1980s; and the overarching sense of alienation that is present within his narratives.

Who Is Sleeping On My Pillow: Mamma Andersson & Jockum Nordström Paolo Colombo, Anders Krüger and Stig Claessen Interview by Marcel Dzama
Contemporary Art 262 illustrations, 200 in colour • 29.2 x 24.1cm • 247pp ISBN 978 1 935 202264 • April
£45.00 The Swedish artist couple Mamma Andersson (born 1962) and Jockum Nordström (born 1963) have been at the forefront of contemporary figurative painting since the late 1980s. Updating Vuillard for a post-Hitchcock age, Andersson paints beguilingly eerie interiors and landscapes. Nordström’s detailed collages and drawings occupy a more folkloric realm peopled by historical and contemporary 22
characters enacting sexual and social roles across broad narrative panoramas. Having been unavailable for nearly four years, the catalogue of their exhibition that showed at David Zwirner in New York in 2010 is now, finally, being reprinted. Who Is Sleeping on My Pillow showcases Andersson and Nordström’s work from the late 1980s to 2010 in over 200 full-colour plates. Alongside these, it also includes family snapshots and source materials, texts by Paolo Colombo and Anders Krüger, a poem by Stig Claesson and an interview with Nordström by Marcel Dzama. New separations have been made specifically for this edition, which has been printed by EBS in Verona. Paolo Colombo is currently Art Advisor at the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. Anders Krüger is an art historian. Stig Claesson was a writer, visual artist and illustrator. Marcel Dzama is an artist based in New York.

Kerry James Marshall: Look See Robert Storr and Hamza Walker Interview by Angela Choon
Contemporary Art 80 colour illustrations • 30.5 x 23.5cm • 108pp ISBN 978 1 941 701089 • May
£42.00 With a career spanning almost three decades, Kerry James Marshall is well known for his complex and multilayered portrayals of youths, interiors, nudes, housing estate gardens, land- and seascapes, all of which synthesize different traditions and genres while seeking to counter stereotypical representations of black people in society. Working across various mediums, the artist conflates actual and imagined events from African-American history, integrating a range of stylistic influences to address
the limited historiography of black art. Produced on the occasion of Marshall’s first exhibition at David Zwirner in London and designed by JNL Design in Chicago, Look See features beautiful reproductions of every painting on view in the show – all of them brand-new compositions – as well as numerous details and preparatory drawings, installation photographs and new scholarship by Robert Storr and Hamza Walker. As suggested by the show’s title, these portraits use the etymological differences between looking and seeing as their point of departure, featuring subjects whose dissociated stares seem as defiant as they are mystifying. Look See is a vibrant and comprehensive portrait of Marshall’s original and ever-evolving practice. Robert Storr is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Dean of the Yale School of Art. Hamza Walker is Director of Education and Associate Curator for the Renaissance Society, the non-collecting museum of contemporary art at the University of Chicago. Angela Choon is Senior Partner at David Zwirner, London. 23

Contemporary Art 100 colour illustrations • 35.6 x 24.1cm • 100pp ISBN 978 1 941 701065 • paperback • May
£35.00 Over the past decade, Jordan Wolfson has gained a reputation for his surprising, thought-provoking works in a wide range of media, including video, sculpture, installation, photography, and performance. This illustrated artist’s book is the product of close collaboration between Wolfson and the book designer Joseph Logan. Initially conceived to document the artist’s 2014 exhibition at David Zwirner in New York – his first with the gallery, debuting new sculptural work, a critically acclaimed video, and his much-discussed animatronic sculpture (Female figure) 2014 – the book ultimately exists 24
as a hybrid between an exhibition catalogue and a stand-alone expression of Wolfson’s vision. Featuring large colour plates, it is anchored by extensive photo documentation of (Female figure) 2014, which combines film, installation and performance in the figure of a curvaceous, scantily clad woman covered in dirt marks and wearing a witch mask. The majority of these photographs were taken by Andreas Laszlo Konrath. While the book focuses primarily on the animatronic sculpture, it also includes detailed reproductions of Wolfson’s recent series of wallmounted sculptures. A short text by the artist provides context and background for all visual material, fleshing out this original document on an intriguing figure of contemporary art. Jordan Wolfson was born in New York in 1980, and he is currently based between New York and Los Angeles.

Jason Rhoades: PeaRoeFoam David Zwirner and Julien Bismuth Contributions by Lucas Zwirner and Dylan Kenny Interview with Linda Norden
Contemporary Art 150 colour illustrations • 31.1 x 21.6cm • 144pp ISBN 978 1 941 701072 • May
£32.00 Up to his untimely death in 2006 at 41, Jason Rhoades carried out a continuous assault on aesthetic conventions and the rules governing the art world. In 2002, Rhoades introduced the world to his PeaRoeFoam, a ‘brand new product and revolutionary new material’ created from whole green peas, fish-bait style salmon eggs and white virgin-beaded foam. When combined with non-toxic glue, they transform into a versatile, fast-drying and ultimately hard material that he
intended for both utilitarian as well as artistic uses – his detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied do-it-yourself kits complete with everything needed to make PeaRoeFoam. This seminal publication is the first to examine and situate the PeaRoeFoam project within Rhoades’s career and to acknowledge its importance within the framework of his practice. Presenting many of the individual components for the first time since their original installations, this book discusses and reproduces those initial presentations in depth. It also features an introduction by David Zwirner, new scholarship by Julien Bismuth, and interviews from the Jason Rhoades Oral History project, conceived by Lucas Zwirner and Dylan Kenny, who have interviewed over fifty people who knew the artist well – including curator and art historian Linda Norden. David Zwirner is a leading contemporary art dealer. Julien Bismuth is an artist and writer.

With these watercolours, Schütte has not only given us an extraordinary and moving selection of his own artwork, but he has paid tribute to Walser, who is one of his heroes. The book is published in the original German with new English translations of each Walser poem and with an introduction by Dr. Reto Sorg, director of the Robert Walser Archives. Robert Walser (1878–1956, Switzerland) was a poet. Thomas Schütte is an artist (b. 1954, Germany). Reto Sorg is the director of the Robert Walser Archives.

£16.00 Yves Saint Laurent was a key artist of the 20th century. Today his name evokes the reefer jacket, the trench-coat, the Mondrian dress, the smoking jacket and trouser suits for women. He is remembered as the man who gave the safari jacket a new lease of life and as the man who stood out from the rest with his famous transparent dresses. He was the first fashion designer to parade Asian and African models on the catwalk, and the first leading couturier to lend his name to a pret-à-porter range, Rive Gauche, while maintaining his haute couture activities.
But what do we really know about the man beyond his fame? Here, Jérômine Savignon opens up the door to Yves Saint Laurent’s studio and invites us into the great creator’s nerve centre, where everything took place, where the work and artist became one. We see how Saint Laurent set about his creations, and find out the secrets behind his approach. This is a voyage of discovery in which the master alchemist reveals and shares his secret formulae. Jérômine Savignon is a noted fashion historian. He has writtten various articles and a number of works, including Faiseur de rêves, in collaboration with Gilles de Bure (Assouline, 2003), Azzaro (Assouline, 2011), Saint Laurent, Rive Gauche: La révolution de la mode (La Martinière, 2011) and Michael Jackson par Arno Bani (Le Chêne, 2010).

Contemporary Art | Memoir c. 60 illustrations, c. 40 in colour • 23.0 x 15.2cm • 304pp ISBN 978 1 908 970183 • April
£22.50 Few living artists can claim to have had the influence of Michael Craig-Martin. Celebrated around the world for his own distinctive work, he has also helped nurture generations of younger artists, among them Julian Opie, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Liam Gillick and Gary Hume. Often described as the godfather of the YBAs, he taught by combining personal example and individual guidance, offering students encouragement, practical advice and insights gained from his own professional highs and lows. This powerful combination gave them the self-knowledge,
confidence and motivation to flourish as some of the most successful figures in contemporary art. Now Craig-Martin shares the same benefit of his experiences with yet another generation. Part memoir and part instructional guide, On Being An Artist is a remarkable mix of reminiscence, personal philosophy, anecdote, self-examination, and advice for the budding artist. In a series of short episodes, he reflects with both wit and candour on the many ideas, events and people that have inspired and shaped him throughout his life, from his childhood in the United States through his time as an art student at Yale in the 1960s and subsequent work as a teacher, to his international success in later years. More than the life of one of the most creative minds of our age, On Being An Artist provides lesson after valuable lesson to anyone wishing to know what it means and what it takes to be an artist today. Michael Craig-Martin CBE, RA, is an artist. 31

Published to coincide with Technicolor’s centennial in 2015, The Dawn of Technicolor recounts the beginnings of one of the most widely recognized names in the American film industry. The authors chart the making of pivotal films in the process, from Ben-Hur (1925) and The Mysterious Island (1926–29), to Walt Disney’s Flowers and Trees (1932) and La Cucaracha (1934). The book spotlights the engineers and filmmakers associated with Technicolor and the remarkable technical innovations changed the film industry forever.
Tools, the catalogue for Cooper Hewitt’s reopening exhibition, showcases objects from ten of the Smithsonian Institution’s museums to explore how diverse cultures, time periods and activities provide a means of realizing design’s critical role in understanding our world, and to examine how tools offer insights into scientific, technological, and cultural changes in societies. It shows the interconnectedness of scientist, designer, historian, anthropologist, engineer and artist through designthinking and problem-solving while also revealing distinct perspectives and methodologies.

£19.95 We’re often in a hurry to throw away, exchange or rebuild. But the details that create a personal feel don’t have to be new and expensive. An inherited vase in a glass cabinet. An old tap on the hand basin. A pink plastic mug with memories – you’re not about to throw that away: it’s an old friend! In search of fun and different items, the authors of this book embarked on a tour of Sweden. They visited uniquely personal homes from north to south, peeking into room after room, and discovering that almost anything could be a fascinating detail. 34
The profusion of pictures in this delightful book show how handsome superficially simple interior decorations can be. Things that have been in the same place for a long time settle in and get comfortable with their surroundings. So give time to details – they might turn out to be the most beautiful things you own.

£50.00 The Vinyl Factory presents 3D and the art of Massive Attack, the first book of visual work by the artist Robert del Naja extensively for his band Massive Attack who havewho have sold over 11 milliion records worldwide. Compiled and designed by the artist – aka 3D – it features hundreds of iconic and never-before-seen Massive Attack artwork images, all taken from 3D’s personal archive and scanned from original artefacts. They range from Del Naja’s influential graffiti and stencil art in the Wild Bunch-era of the 80s, to Massive Attack cover designs and paste-ups and paintings.
Also included is work made in collaboration with Nick Knight, Tom Hingston, Judy Blame and Michael Nash Associates, as well as unseen photographs documenting Del Naja’s ongoing collaboration with United Visual Artists and his recent work with filmmaker Adam Curtis. It also features an in-depth interview with the artist, in which he describes the development of the band’s artwork and record sleeve designs, as well as offering insight into his processes and inspirations. 3D aka Robert Del Naja’s artwork has come to define the iconic style of Massive Attack. 3D’s background as a graffiti artist has shaped his evolving aesthetic, as well as a strong ethos of ‘do it yourself’ creativity. His instincts as an artist were forged in an atmosphere of spontaneity and innovation – from making flyers to throwing warehouse parties – and this way of working informed the first record sleeves he created as 3D. Inspired by magazine culture and comics, 3D drew on wide-ranging influences, from New York’s hip-hop scene and Japanese graphics, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s cultural juxtapositions to Warhol’s pop imagery, politics and punk. 35

£20.00 London is the royal capital of the world. Nowhere else is steeped in such regal riches. Royalty can be read about in history books, watched in colourful ceremonies and wondered at in lively gossip columns. But most of all, the royal city can be seen and understood in its wonderful, diverse architecture. Using his own unique method of turning photographs into works of art, the highly creative architectural photographer John Cleave continues Editions Didier Millet’s innovative Sketchbook series by focusing on the city’s royal buildings.
Here, dating back many centuries, are the glorious palaces of kings and queens, their places of worship and repose, the parks they laid out and the institutions they patronised. Whether in public spaces or in private corners, royalty has stamped its mark right across the city. This isn’t just the London of tourists. It is the place Londoners know and love, too, and John Cleave’s beautiful pictures evoke Royal London’s finest details, its quiet confidence and its enduring majesty. John Cleave has contributed his images to three other books in the Sketchbook series, Istanbul: City of Two Continents, Athens: Scenes From a Capital City and Washington: Scenes from a Capital City. Roger Williams is a prolific author. He contributed to Editions Didier Millet’s Paris Notebooks.

Mario Giacomelli (1925–2000) was one of Italy’s, if not the world’s, great photographers. His highly personal, artistically atmospheric visual style demonstrates a life-long preoccupation with landscapes that emphasizes linear and abstact patterns, rural townscapes, street scenes and portraits of everyday Italian life. This documentary features a series of interviews conducted with those closest to him, both personally and professionally, whose memories and anecdotes offer intimate insights into the life and work of this great master of photography.
The ambition of this project was to capture the spirit of a nation, to present photographically the portrait of the Italians. At the beginning of the sixties, I crisscrossed Italy from north to south, staying each time for three weeks, returning to Paris, developing and examining the images, and then leaving again for another region.

This book presents a collection of reportages by Photoaid, a photographic agency which specializes in the area of international cooperation and works side by side with organizations, large or small, operating in the social sector. From Cameroon to Burma, and from New Zealand to the Neapolitan quarter of Scampia, the images in this book offer an intense, dynamic and refreshingly positive look at the world.
Encerrados is a long voyage that lasted ten years, through 74 prisons across all the Latin American countries; a journey born from the desire to recount a continent through prisoners’ world. But, as Roberto Saviano says, ‘this is not a book on prisons; it is a book on lost freedom, on freedom never had. The lack of freedom, and thus of choice, is what has convicted the thousands of prisoners that Bispuri has caught with his camera. He revealed the traces of humanity in those people.’
Michael Cazzani, Nicola Demolli Crivelli and Andrea Micheli founded Photoaid in 2009.

The Wall. The legendary Trabant. Huge queues, May Day parades, the punk scene, nudism, the romantic countryside of classical German literature… The now defunct East Germany was truly a land of contrasts. Augusto Bordato’s photographs recount the life of a country which is being fast forgotten. Again and again, this book delivers that particular jolt of astonishment that comes from looking at a past we thought we knew.
Elsewhere is nowhere and everywhere, according to Tim Parchikov. This book is a beautifully produced chronicle of the photographer’s travels all over the world, from Italy to China, from Iceland to the Russian Steppes. He views life in slices and episodes, and his use of colour shines a new light on the everyday, highlighting its strangeness and its beauty, so often overlooked.
Augusto Bordato worked at the Italian Embassy in East Berlin as interpreter and head of the press office throughout the 1980s. His photographs have appeared in individual and collective exhibitions in Italy and Germany.
Tim Parchikov was born in Moscow in 1983. His work has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions around the world. This volume is his second monograph.

Photography 62 illustrations • 22.4 x 16.0cm • 200pp ISBN 978 8 869 655791 • May
£16.95 Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975) was one of the major Italian artists and intellectuals of the 20th century. Gifted with an exceptional cultural versatility, he distinguished himself in numerous fields, leaving contributions as poet, novelist, playwright, linguist, journalist and film-maker. A keen observer of society’s transformations from the end of World War II to the first half the 1970s, his often barbed judgements on the bourgeoisie and consumerism courted huge controversies.

£16.95 Over the last five years, Mario Calabresi has been conducting a series of interviews with some of the most renowned photographers in the world. Now, the fruits of these meetings are gathered together in one volume. This gripping journey through history is seen through the images and words of its great witnesses, those who have captured and lived through some of the most tragic and intense moments of our past. Calabresi’s engaging prose transmits the tenacity and often fierce emotions of the protagonists, affording the reader a privileged perspective on history through the eyes of the
photojournalists who have shaped our collective memory.

All women are not mothers, but all women are daughters, and this challenging study of young women from all over the world – from privilege to poverty, from Iceland to Indonesia, asks us, and the striking subjects of the photographs who look at us with such directness, to reconsider the relationship, both its origins and its aftermath. Lisen Stibeck’s photographs capture something miraculously beautiful and at the same time deeply vulnerable in their sense of possibility and their hesitation. They are an homage… but also a prayer.
In this intimate portrait of an unfamiliar America, Pieter ten Hoopen takes us to Hungry Horse, Montana. One in three residents of this small town subsist below the poverty line and most live in trailers and caravans. During extended periods spent here over a period of six years, ten Hoopen discovered great compassion and human warmth in an environment beset by unemployment, drugs and deprivation. The photographs, which have won several prestigious prizes, are accompanied by an essay from Luke Mogelson of the New York Times magazine and a DVD with ten Hoopen’s documentary film about Hungry Horse.
Lisen Stibeck (b. 1952) is a Swedish photographer and designer living in Stockholm and Marrakech. Daughters is her first book.

Necks Thomas Wågström Essay by Karl Ove Knausgård
Photography 55 photographs • 22.0 x 17.0cm • 128pp ISBN 978 9 171 263155 • January
£17.99 The neck exists in the background, in the shadow of the face. In this book, Thomas Wågström has photographed more than fifty necks of different ages and characters. Karl Ove Knausgård contributes a compelling essay, ‘The Other Side of the Face’, about our most vulnerable yet unchangeable body part. ‘A neck is in time, belongs to time, but is not formed by it. If these photos could have been taken ten thousand years ago, they would have looked the same.’
Thomas Wågström (b. 1955) is an award-winning photographer and curator. He is represented at Moderna Museet and the Swedish National Museum’s portrait collection. Necks is the second part of a trilogy, the first being All That Is In Heaven, and the third yet to appear. Karl Ove Knausgård, (b. 1968) won the Norwegian Critics’ Prize for Literature with his first novel, Out Of The World. He has gained wide international attention and several awards with his six-volume autobiographical suite, My Struggle.

Type 42 (Anonymous) Text by Cindy Sherman
Photography 120 illustrations • 13.6 x 17.0cm • 144pp ISBN 978 3 863 356439 • April
£19.95 ‘So this person, obsessed with capturing dark, out of focus, often unrecognizable, fleeting images of women, sits in front of their TV every night (or day), camera in hand, watching show after show, looking for women to document. to what purpose? (...) there are no conclusions I can make other than the mystery they provided me’ Cindy Sherman
Type 42 (Anonymous) is an almost encyclopaedic body of work by an anonymous artist composed 46
of approximately 950 black and white polaroids showing a series of head shots and close ups of actresses taken from the television screen sometime beginning in the late 1960s. Each polaroid features a carefully handwritten name in red ballpoint pen of the actress or the film or name of the TV series she is captured in. This book reproduces about 120 images from this extraordinary cache, introduced by an essay from Cindy Sherman. From cinema divas such as Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda or Gina Lollobrigida to long forgotten starlets from science fiction series or B-Movies, Type 42 (Anonymous) is a testimony of an obsession with women on the silver screen. Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) is an American photographer and film director, best known for her conceptual portraits.
