One and One Is Four: The Bauhaus Photocollages of Josef Albers Sarah Hermanson Meister With essays by Elizabeth Otto and Lee Ann Daffner

Art 100 illustrations 30.5 x 24.0 cm 128pp ISBN 978 1 633 450172 October

£35.00 Josef Albers is widely recognized as a crucial figure in 20th-century art, both as an independent practitioner and as a teacher at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale University. Arguably the least familiar aspect of his extraordinary career was his inventive engagement with photography, only widely known after his death, including his production of approximately seventy photocollages that feature photographs he made at the Bauhaus between 1928 and 1932.

Albers’s photographs were first shown at MoMA in a modest exhibition in 1988, when the Museum acquired two photocollages. In 2015, the Museum acquired ten additional photocollages, making its collection of this key aspect of Albers’s practice the most substantial anywhere outside the Albers Foundation. This publication reproduces each of the photocollages Albers made at the Bauhaus, presenting the scope of this achievement for the first time and providing an unparalleled opportunity to explore the nuanced relationship between form and image.

This vinyl LP record, produced in a limited edition of 2,000 copies, each signed and numbered by Gilbert & George, is a new and unique artwork on which the sculptors revisit their first ma­ture work, The Singing Sculpture (1968) as if it were an old friend they had not seen in years. Conceived as a piece meant to be savoured in whole, as one would take in a picture show, Gilbert & George welcome listeners into their archives and studio to spend time with them and their art, deeply engaging with us from their world on the eastern edge of London and extending throughout our globe.

In this new volume in the MoMA One on One series, Carolyn Lanchner analyses Meret Oppenheim’s sensual yet disturbing artwork ‘Object’, a teacup, saucer and spoon purchased from a department store and lined with Chinese gazelle fur. Lanchner explores the subversive nature of this piece, which simultaneously attracts and repels the viewer, and of the dreamlike world of Surrealism in which Oppenheim worked.

Gilbert & George – two people yet one artist – have created thousands of works since meeting in London in 1967 as students at Saint Martin’s School of Art.

Art 205 illustrations 27.0 x 23.0 cm 196pp ISBN 978 1 633 450189 September

£40.00 Kai Althoff (b. 1966, Germany) is one of the most consummate – and unpredictable – artists of his generation. A painter and a draftsman, he has experimented since the mid-1990s with combinations of unconventional mediums and exhibition formats to create all-encompassing environments that might include finely detailed drawings; collage; woven textiles, knitted fabric; soft sculpture; paintings; writing; video; fragrance; and song.

Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this publication presents Althoff’s work in all mediums created over a 25-year career. Created in close collaboration with the artist, the book features lavish colour reproductions of Althoff’s most significant works. Contributions by scholars, art professionals and friends of the artist offer multiple perspectives on Althoff’s iconographically rich work. Kai Althoff is an internationally-known German artist who lives in Cologne and New York. Laura Hoptman is Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Tales of Our Time Edited by Hou Hanru and Xiaoyu Weng Short story contributions by Wang Bang, Li Juan, Brian Kuan Wood, Hon Lai-chu, Ken Liu, Han Song and Lo Yi-chin

Art 90 illustrations 25.4 x 19.0 cm 200pp ISBN 978 0 892 075294 paperback December

£30.00 Tales of Our Time presents commissioned works by seven artists based in mainland China, Hong Kong or Taiwan. The title is inspired by Lu Xun’s Old Tales Retold, a 1930s collection of short stories that use narrative and myth to comment on times of political and social upheaval. Working in a range of mediums, including video, sculpture, installation, mixed media on paper and participatory performance, these artists are unified by their distinctive and independent practices that poetically balance politics and aesthetics. 8

This catalogue serves as a key conceptual extension of the accompanying exhibition, functioning as a hybrid of a traditional art exhibition publication and a fiction collection. Featuring two scholarly essays, artwork descriptions and artist biographies, it presents an unconventional examination of the artists whose practices actively reposition and challenge current dialogues about Chinese art. Seven specially commissioned short stories explore contemporary society through the art of storytelling Hou Hanru is Consulting Curator, The Robert H. N.

Maurizio Cattelan: All Edited by Nancy Spector

£35.00 The sold-out publication Maurizio Cattelan: All is returning to print. Hailed as a provocateur, prankster and tragic poet of our times, Maurizio Cattelan has created some of the most unforgettable images in contemporary art – most notoriously The Ninth Hour (1999), a sculpture of Pope John Paul II struck by a meteorite. A faux-leather-bound hardcover with gold stamping and thin paper, designed to resemble an old textbook or bible, this new edition of All

details almost every work of Cattelan’s from the late 1980s to the present within a double-column page format, featuring full-colour reproductions and accompanying entries. The revised edition describes the artist’s return to art making after a five-year ‘retirement’ with a special, ongoing project at the Guggenheim. It also features a redesigned cover and installation images of the exhibition All, and Nancy Spector has augmented her critical overview of Cattelan with a new coda. Since its original publication, All has become the Cattelan bible. This revised edition ensures it will remain the definitive source on his work for years to come. Nancy Spector is former Deputy Director and Jennifer and David Stockman Chief Curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York.

In this book, Paul de Moor invites the young reader into the strange and gripping world of Luc Tuymans, one of the most important contemporary artists on the international scene. Written in beautiful, poetic language, de Moor freezes pictures, snapshots, conversations, impressions and emotions to form a portrait of a young Tuymans – like water turning gradually into ice.

Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Little Mermaid (1839), a story about a girl from the sea who followed her dreams and suffered a disastrous fate on land, is known all over the world. The much-loved story is brought to new life in this gorgeous edition, a collaboration between the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and artist Yayoi Kusama, whose drawings both illustrate and interpret Andersen’s story. Yayoi Kusama (b1929) was recently named the world’s most popular artist, based on annual figures reported by The Art Newspaper for global museum attendance in 2014.

American patriot Paul Revere is wrapped in the swirling mixture of myth and poetry through which history often descends, but as a craftsman and artist, he left behind more tangible traces, as well. In this volume, esteemed art historian Gerald W. R. Ward tells the true story of Revere’s most iconic creation, the Sons of Liberty bowl, bravely made and marked by the rebel and silversmith on the threshold of the Revolutionary War.

On the night of 25 December 1776, George Washington led his army through a snowstorm across the Delaware River, on the way to a surprise attack that would turn the tide of the American Revolution. ‘The Passage of the Delaware’ by Thomas Sully, the first large-scale painting of this iconic moment, was created over forty years later. This compact introduction to the painting reveals how Sully’s imagination, technique and ambition came together to embody the drama of the Revolution and the character of its leaders.

Hokusai’s Lost Manga Sarah E. Thompson

Art 204 illustrations 19.7 x 21.0 cm 248pp ISBN 978 0 878 468263 August

£25.00 A mysterious 1823 advertisement for illustrated books by renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai refers to an otherwise unknown work called Master Iitsu’s Chicken-Rib Picture Book. According to the ad, the book was conceived in the same year that the final volume of Hokusai’s famous Manga series was supposed to have been published. Many therefore believe that the Chicken-Rib Picture Book was meant to be a continuation of the famous series, but a published copy of it has never been found. This eclectic and engaging collection of drawings from the peerless

Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, was probably intended for that lost book. It includes the sort of lively, behind-thescenes sketches of daily life that have made the Manga series so beloved, as well as imaginatively conceived sea creatures, refined flowers, deities, heroes, and a variety of craftspeople and labourers. Reproduced here in full for the first time as a stand-alone volume, this rare sketchbook of Hokusai drawings makes for delightful fare. Sarah E. Thompson is Curator, Japanese Art, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Art 130 illustrations 26.7 x 22.9 cm 176pp ISBN 978 0 878 468416 August

£30.00 The glazed terracotta technique invented by Luca della Robbia, along with his exceptional skill as a sculptor, placed him firmly in the first rank of Renaissance artists in the 15th century. This quintessentially Florentine art – taking the form of dazzling multicoloured ornaments for major buildings, delicately modelled and ingeniously constructed freestanding statues, serene blueand-white devotional reliefs, charming portraits of children, and commanding busts of rulers, along 16

with decorative and liturgical objects – flowed in abundance from the Della Robbia workshops for a hundred years. Recently, renewed attention from art historians, backed by sophisticated technical studies, has reintegrated the Della Robbia into the mainstream of Renaissance art history and illuminated their originality and accomplishments. This beautifully illustrated book invites readers to experience one of the great inventions of the Renaissance and the enduring beauty it captured.

£20.00 Situated at the beginning, or the end, of the famous trade routes known as the Silk Road, China’s ancient capital – Chang’an – flourished during the Tang dynasty (618-907) to become the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the world. Tang: Treasures from the Silk Road Capital presents wondrous and diverse artefacts from Chang’an and the surrounding area from temples and the tombs of the wealthy and the elite. Existing for over 300 years, the Tang dynasty

is considered a high point in the arts, science and commerce in China. Its influence remains strong today and is still evident in the city of X’ian (present-day Chang’an). The spectacular archaeological findings, drawn from eleven museums in Shaanxi province, include gold, silver, glass, ceramics, sculptures and mural paintings that demonstrate the high artistic achievements of this Golden Age of China. With few publications available in English on the art of the Tang dynasty, this will be a welcome book for general and specialist readers alike.

£14.95 Leading 20th-century Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera were internationally acclaimed in their lifetime, and their art and lives have continued to provoke and captivate audiences. Their works demonstrate their fierce independence and the uniqueness of their artistic visions.

It includes an introduction to their art and lives as 18

well as an essay by Diego on Frida’s art written in 1943 and an essay written by Frida on Diego’s art written in 1949. Each essay is followed by their artworks including outstanding paintings and drawings by Kahlo, and major examples of Rivera’s canvas paintings. Photographs by figures such as Edward Weston, Lola Alvarez Bravo and Frida’s father, Guillermo Kahlo, provide insights into the artists’ worlds and their relationship.

This original and affecting work of art in book form is the result of a creative collaboration between artist photographer Bettina von Zwehl and psychoanalyst and academic Josh Cohen. Two series of images by von Zwehl appear alongside and within two parallel texts by Cohen to create a unique hybrid work. Together, they form a powerful and moving meditation on separation and childhood memory, the hidden mind and the lasting effects of psychoanalysis, and the nature of art and truth.

This book tells the story of Daniel Buren’s first permanent artwork in the UK, an installation at Tottenham Court Road station. It includes shots of the work in situ, photos of the project in progress, architects’ drawings and plans, and the artist’s notes and sketches. Buren and Tim Marlow walk the reader through the installation and discuss it alongside his other public transport works, while Hans Ulrich Obrist places the work in the context of Buren’s practice since the 1960s.

Bettina von Zwehl has built an international reputation for her subtle and unnerving photographic portraits. Josh Cohen is a practising psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is the author of the award-winning The Private Life: Why We Remain in the Dark.

Fourth Plinth How London Created the Smallest Sculpture Park in the World Foreword by Grayson Perry • Texts by Isabel de Vasconcellos

Art c. 150 illustrations 26.0 x 21.0 cm 192pp ISBN 978 1 908 970282 October

£22.50 A marble statue of a heavily pregnant disabled artist, a scale model of Nelson’s HMS Victory with African print sails inside a huge bottle, and a giant blue cockerel are just some of the art works that have added a provocative element to Trafalgar Square. Antony Gormley, Hans Haacke, Rachel Whiteread, Mark Wallinger, Yinka Shonibare, Elmgreen and Dragset are among the artists who have created a work for the space.

This book tells the story of the ongoing Fourth Plinth programme from its inception to the very latest commission, David Shrigley’s Really Good, to be unveiled in September 2016. Individual chapters present the background and genesis of each work, with behind-the-scenes views of the fabrication, contributions from some of the many individuals involved in the projects, and in situ shots of all the installed works. And just as every commission reflects varied aspects of London’s past and present, the book, too, celebrates the impact of contemporary art on the creative and multi-cultured city that it is today. Grayson Perry is an internationally celebrated artist, writer and broadcaster. Isabel de Vasconcellos is a writer, curator and arts advisor.

ÂŁ35.00 Blueprint for Counter Education is one of the defining works of radical pedagogy of the Vietnam War era. Originally published as a box-set in 1970, the book was accompanied by large graphic posters that served as a portable learning environment for a new process-based model of education.

£25.00 One of America’s most celebrated cartoonists, Robert Crumb helped define cartoon subcultures in the 60s and 70s. Mining his own obsessions and fantasies, Crumb reimagines the history of art, challenging notions of beauty, along with society’s mores and expectations of propriety around the female form.

Michael Riedel Poster – Painting – Presentation Text by Tina Kukielski

Art 162 illustrations 31.1. x 23.5 cm 176pp ISBN 978 1 941 701324 July

£30.00 Michael Riedel: Poster – Painting – Presentation is the first of Riedel’s books to examine in depth the practice for which he has become best known: the systematic creation of paintings from posters generated with text he finds online. Using websites that mention his work in some respect, Riedel copies and pastes the HTML code, highlighting certain words as he goes along, into one of his 34 poster templates, which he then arranges in different colours and orientations to make his paintings.

26

The book is divided into three sections – one dedicated to Riedel’s posters, one to his Poster Paintings, and one to his more recent PowerPoint Paintings – and provides clarity around the artist’s practice without eliminating the style and inherent complexity of his work. Tina Kukielski also contributes an essay. For experts and newcomers alike, Michael Riedel: Poster – Painting – Presentation is an essential exploration of one of the most innovative contemporary artists working today. Tina Kukielski is Executive Director of ART21, an arts organization specializing in digital media about contemporary art, and a curator and writer based in New York City.

£38.00 Concrete Cuba, produced on the occasion of the 2015–2016 exhibition at David Zwirner, marks one of the first major presentations outside Cuba to focus exclusively on concretism in Cuba during the 50s, and includes important works from the late 40s through the early 60s by the twelve artists who were at different times associated with the short-lived group: Pedro Álvarez, Wifredo Arcay, Mario Carreño, Salvador Corratgé, Sandú Darié, Luis Martínez Pedro, Alberto Menocal, José M.

Pedro de Oraá, José Ángel Rosabal, Loló Soldevilla and Rafael Soriano. The catalogue features an extensively researched chronology tracking the development of the period artistically and politically from 1939 through 1968.

Doug Wheeler has long been recognized as a pioneer in the Light and Space movement. This monograph, the first book dedicated to Wheeler, includes extensive archival imagery from early on in the artist’s career, along with rich and immersive plates from his 2012, 2014 and 2016 shows at David Zwirner. It features a booklength essay by Germano Celant, along with excerpts from interviews conducted with many of Wheeler’s peers, including Vija Celmins, Robert Irwin and Larry Bell. These quotations and excerpts reveal a conversation in which Wheeler emerges as one of the most original artists of his generation.

Published to accompany the recent exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, this book takes as its point of departure Dan Flavin’s (1993–1996) influential show, corners, barriers and corridors in fluorescent light from Dan Flavin, presented at the Saint Louis Art Museum in 1973. Designed by McCall Associates in close collaboration with the Estate of Dan Flavin, this catalogue presents an especially significant body of work, along with new scholarship by Michael Auping, offering a vital historical perspective on Flavin’s practice.

Germano Celant is an Italian art historian, critic, and curator, who coined the term ‘Arte Povera’ in 1967.

Donald Judd Writings Edited by Flavin Judd and Caitlin Murray

Art 184 illustrations 18.4 x 11.4 cm 1,048pp ISBN 978 1 941 701355 paperback October

£28.00 Donald Judd Writings, co-published by Judd Foundation and David Zwirner Books, is the most comprehensive collection of the artist’s writings assembled to date. It includes Judd’s best-known essays, organized chronologically with little-known texts previously published in limited editions. This new collection also includes unpublished college essays and hundreds of never-before-seen handwritten notes, a critical but unknown part of Judd’s writing practice. Judd’s earliest published writing, consisting largely of reviews for hire, defined the terms of art criticism

in the 60s, but his essays as an undergraduate at Columbia, published here for the first time, contain the seeds of his later writing, and allow readers to trace the development of his critical style. The largest addition of newly available material is Judd’s unpublished notes. In these intimate reflections we see Judd’s thinking at his least mediated – a mind continuing to grapple with questions of its moment and demonstrating the intensity of thought that continues to make Judd such a formidable presence in contemporary art. Flavin Judd is Donald Judd’s son and vice-president of the Judd Foundation. Caitlin Murray is the archivist at the Judd Foundation.

Michael Fried’s experiences among artworks and luminaries of the art world have resulted in a canonized body of criticism, but they have also provided the raw material for many of the poems in his newest collection. Promesse du Bonheur breaks ground for Fried by combining eighty poems with 33 photographs, most of them made, all of them chosen by photographer James Welling. This is a uniquely vivid and compelling volume, at once a collection of wide-ranging yet intimately related poems and a brilliant photobook, that aims to hold the reader/viewer in its spell from first page to last.

‘Criticism is our censorship…’. So begins one of the greatest invectives against criticism ever written by an artist. Paul Gauguin wrote ‘Racontars de Rapin’ only months before he died in 1903, but the essay remained unpublished until 1951. Long out of print, this new translation by French writer and academic Donatien Grau includes an introduction that situates the essay within Gauguin’s written oeuvre, as well as a selection of works to illustrate the text itself.

Michael Fried is an art and literary critic and historian, as well as a poet. James Welling is a renowned American photographer.

Shakespeare and Company, Paris: A History The Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart Edited by Krista Halverson • Foreword by Jeanette Winterson

Cultural History 225 illustrations 24.1 x 15.9 cm 384pp ISBN 979 1 096 101009 October

£24.95 George Whitman opened his bookstore in a 16th-century building just across the Seine from Notre-Dame in 1951, a decade after the original Shakespeare and Company had closed. Since Whitman picked up the mantle, Shakespeare and Company has served as a home-away-from-home for many celebrated writers, as well as for young authors and poets. Visitors are invited not only to read the books and to share a pot of tea, but sometimes also to live in the shop itself – for free.

This book interweaves essays and poetry from dozens of writers associated with the shop – Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, Ethan Hawke, Robert Stone and Jeanette Winterson, among others – with hundreds of never-before-seen archival pieces, including photographs of James Baldwin, William Burroughs and Langston Hughes. Through the prism of the shop’s history, the book traces the lives of literary expats in Paris from 1951 to the present, all while pondering that perennial literary question, ‘What is it about writers and Paris?’. Krista Halverson is director of the newly founded Shakespeare and Company publishing house. Jeanette Winterson is an award-winning writer, perhaps most famous for her semi-autobiographical novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. 31

Popular Culture c. 1,240 illustrations 31.0 x 24.0 cm 708pp ISBN 978 0 500 500637 September

£45.00 From the 1970s underground Melbourne skate scene to a company with a presence in over one hundred countries, Unemployable is the story of how three Australian brothers – Stephen, Peter and Matt Hill – founded one of the world’s biggest skate, street, and surf companies, Globe International. The company has been the first Australian skate shoe player; a creator and distributor of leading streetwear fashion labels such as Stüssy, Mossimo, Obey and Mooks; and a producer of celebrated skate and surf movies. 32

Beyond the story of the Hill brothers, the book features a large cast of players who ran Globe’s debauched skate tours, infamous industry parties, exotic surf contests, frenzied stadium events, cutting-edge fashion parades and red-carpet launches. It also includes over 190 exclusive contributions from Globe insiders and untold tales from skaters and surfers including Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk, CJ and Damien Hobgood, and more. A story about following your dreams, Unemployable will resonate with a broad range of readers beyond a purely skate/surf/street audience. Jason Boulter was a research psychologist at the Cancer Council of Victoria before working for the Hills on the films The Man Who Souled the World and Eric Bana’s Love The Beast.

Art 180 illustrations 28.0 x 21.0 cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 929 865362 October

£36.00 Appropriating characters, images and effects from pop culture, KAWS recasts the familiar colours and forms of popular entertainment in cheeky and often poignantly human terms. Influenced by Andy Warhol and other Pop artists, hard-edge abstract painting and graffiti, KAWS’ work deftly straddles consumer culture and artistic innovation, and his distinctive style is as much at home in his toys as in his monumental sculpture.

KAWS: Where the End Starts explores the artist’s prolific career in depth, featuring key paintings, sculptures, drawings, toys and fashion and advertising designs. It includes contributions from Andrea Karnes, Michael Auping, Dieter Buchhart and Pharrell Williams, and reveals critical aspects of KAWS’ formal and conceptual development over the past 20 years. KAWS (born in 1974) is widely considered one of the most relevant artists of his generation.

£60.00 Alexander Girard (1907–1993) was one of the most important modern textile artists and interior designers of the 20th century. This richly illustrated catalogue draws on the vast holdings in Alexander Girard’s private estate, which were exhaustively investigated for the first time at the Vitra Design Museum. It presents the entire oeuvre of the multitalented Italian-American designer in all its facets while offering the first scholarly critical examination of his work. Six essays address Girard’s textile creations and graphic design

for the furniture manufacturer Herman Miller, important interior design projects such as the Irwin Miller House in Columbus, Indiana (1953) and the restaurant La Fonda del Sol in New York (1960), his activities as a pioneering exhibition organizer and curator, and his passion for folk art, which resulted in a collection of more than 100,000 objects and served as one of the most important sources of inspiration for his own work. In addition to extensive portfolios with neverbefore-shown archive material, the publication also provides the first comprehensive biography and a complete list of works. Mateo Kries is the Director of the Vitra Design Museum, and Jochen Eisenbrand is its Chief Curator.

£35.00 Following on the success of Never Built Los Angeles, Greg Goldin and Sam Lubell now turn their eye to New York City. New York towers among world capitals, but the city we know might have reached even more stellar heights, or burrowed into more destructive depths, had the ideas pictured in the minds of its greatest dreamers progressed beyond the drawing board and taken form in stone, steel, and glass. This book presents nearly 200 ambitious proposals spanning 200 years. They encompass bridges, skyscrapers, master plans, parks, transit schemes, amusements, airports, plans to fill in rivers and extend Manhattan, and much, much more. Included are

alternate visions for such landmarks as Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center, MoMA, the U.N., Grand Central Station and the World Trade Centre site, among many others sites. Fact-filled and entertaining texts, as well as sketches, renderings, prints, and models drawn from archives all across the New York metropolitan region tell stories of a new New York, one that surely would have changed the way we inhabit and move through the city.

virtually every major UK collection, and her book, The Primacy of Drawing: Histories and Theories of Practice, is the pre-eminent study in the field. She has also made a significant international impact on the study of drawing through catalogues of the exhibitions ‘The Quick and the Dead: Artists and Anatomy’, 1977, and ‘Witches and Wicked Bodies’, 2013, which she curated. This monograph celebrates the vitality and originality of an extraordinary body of work. Deanna Petherbridge is former Professor of Drawing at the Royal College of Art.

Buildings Between Living Time and Rocky Space Paul Shepheard

Architecture 10 illustrations 21.0 x 16.0 cm 160pp ISBN 978 0 993 072192 September

£17.95 Why write about buildings? Buildings are chunks of the material of the natural world, refashioned by humans and set down into place to stand as silent as the rocks and trees from which they were made. How can we describe that mute actuality? A building’s only complete description is itself. The words we use are a matter of translation and comparison, not of material fact. And since our narratives are as likely to be propagandas, or branding exercises, as they are descriptions of the world, writing about buildings often intensifies the

cloud that obscures them rather than dissipates it. So why do it? What do buildings demonstrate? How do they occupy living time as well as rocky space? How can they seem so vital when they are not alive? It is here that Paul Shepheard finds his foothold. This is not analytical writing, but descriptive – a response to diversity in form and accumulated piles of meaning. By bringing the narrative skill of the novelist to bear on the weighty subject of architecture, Shepheard delivers a book that engages and provokes in equal measure. Paul Shepheard is an architect and writer living in London. He is the author of four previous books, including The Cultivated Wilderness: Or, What is Landscape? (1997), Artificial Love: A Story of Machines and Architecture (2003) and How to Like Everything: A Utopia (2013). 39

£12.95 The Apollo 11 mission began as a challenge. In 1961 President John F Kennedy committed the United States to achieving, within the decade, the goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. This book tells the Apollo 11 story through the medium of artist Adrian Buckley’s atmospheric imagery. It is a story of epic heroism and technological endeavour, a tale of three extraordinary men and their incredible achievement: Mission Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin and Command Module 40

Pilot Michael Collins. On 21 July 1969, when Neil Armstrong opened the hatch in the Lunar Module and descended the ladder to set foot on the surface of the Moon, he became in an instant the greatest traveller in human history.

Colouring 112 illustrations 28.0 x 21.0 cm 112pp ISBN 978 0 993 191145 paperback September

£12.95 inc VAT This colouring book for all ages marks the first publication of the graphic works of Russian artist Amanita. His fantastical images form a unique world – they are like modern variations of illustrated manuscripts, packed full with elements of Soviet and post-Soviet cultures. The book also works as an introduction to the Russian alphabet. Every drawing depicts a word beginning with each letter from the Cyrillic alphabet, also shown in English, giving a lighthearted guide as to how the letters look and sound. The subjects of his illustrations are wide ranging – from political leaders: Lenin, Gorbachev; 42

to inanimate objects: Tupolev aircraft, Sputnik; via Tsars, cosmonauts and Constructivism. These Soviet themes are interwoven from one page to the next, all rendered in an abundance of detail. His amazing and skilful images define a previously unimagined graphic landscape that takes the humble colouring book into a new dimension. Alexander Erashov was born in Ermak, Kazakhstan in 1972. The pseudonym Amanita (a red and white-spotted mushroom) is in reference to the black-white-red palette of his artworks.

of a bull, to name just a few of the uncommon forms. The book’s paper is heavy, bright and white, which allows no bleed-through – and each page is perforated, so the drawings can be easily removed and framed.

£16.95 Scraps, timed to publish concurrently with Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum’s exhibition of the same name, presents three designers’ alternative approaches to the shockingly high human and environmental costs of textile industry waste. Inspired by the long tradition of using handcraft to give new life to scraps and cast-offs, each of the three featured designers – Christina Kim, Reiko Sudo and Luisa Cevese – takes an entirely different approach to contending with textile waste, but all make recycling an integral part of their design practice. 44

The delicate beauty of the fabrics featured in Scraps ensures a seductive visual experience throughout the pages, framing the exploration of sustainable design practices: using materials and resources efficiently, providing meaningful labour, sustaining local craft traditions and exploring new technologies as integral to the recycling process. In the spirit of the content of the book, its cover is made from a waste textile that would normally be discarded. Susan Brown joined Cooper Hewitt in 2001, where she is Associate Curator of Textiles. Matilda McQuaid is Deputy Director of Curatorial and Head of Textiles at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.

Tidy Space Zen and Shaker Design Solutions for Tidy Living Michael Freeman

Interior Design 200 illustrations 24.0 x 17.0 cm 208pp ISBN 978 0 957 471771 October

ÂŁ19.99 Two design styles perfectly embrace tidiness. Although they have no historical link, the Shaker aesthetic, and that of the Japanese Zen style, have much in common. For them both furniture is kept to minimum, objects are hidden away in carefully designed storage spaces, rooms are kept empty with the focus on a few design elements on the walls, natural materials are emphasised both in the construction of rooms and furniture.

Here, for the first time, photographer and author Michael Freeman has brought together numerous examples of rooms from both Shaker and Japanese homes to demonstrate how home owners can be inspired by these two remarkable design styles. Divided into chapters on Lessening, Harmonizing, Containing and Storing, the book guides the reader on a journey of beautiful tidiness. Specially designed cut edges to the book and a removable bellyband give the finishing touches to this little gem of a book, which will inspire designers and home owners to bring calm to their interior spaces. Michael Freeman is an award-winning and bestselling photographer and author. His many books include China Style, Mindful Design of Japan, China Contemporary, New Oriental Style and Tea Horse Road.

Pierre Paulin Life and Work Nadine Descendre

Decorative Arts 300 illustrations 28.0 x 26.0 cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 865 653351 September

£45.00 This is the first comprehensive study of the life and work of Pierre Paulin, the iconic post-war French designer of furniture, objects, residential and commercial interiors. Sumptuously illustrated with over 300 photographs and drawings, it is published on the occasion of a major exhibition on Paulin at the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Playfully rejecting the orderly restraint of midcentury design, Paulin imagined sleek departure lounges for the jet set, perfume bottles for Courrèges, and unforgettable Pop-era pieces like 48

the Orange Slice chair, the shell-shaped Oyster chair and the Tongue, a wavy, lowslung chaise longue. Paulin’s signature innovation was to clothe his pieces in colourful stretch fabrics. He took equal care designing everyday objects such as fans, razors and fondue pots as he did outfitting the private elysée quarters of French presidents Pompidou and Mitterand. Ever passionate about the new technologies and inventions that made modernity possible, and deeply sensitive to contemporary colours, shapes and materials, he never ceased to astonish with unexpected and dazzling leaps of imagination. Nadine Descendre is a journalist, art critic, documentary film maker and curator. She is currently the Director of l’Agence Interculturelle Européenne (A.I.E.).

In Palm Springs, the mecca of midcentury modern architecture, this immaculately preserved estate is considered the undisputed masterpiece, envisioned by A. Quincy Jones, one of California’s most important architects; and furnished by California’s great

decorator-to-the-stars, William Haines.

For four decades, an invitation to New Year’s at Sunnylands was the ultimate social prize. Exquisitely illustrated and with a foreword by Architectural Digest contributor Michael Smith, Sunnylands is a must-have for every fan of midcentury design.

Lifestyle 275 illustrations 33.9 x 24.5 cm 360pp ISBN 978 0 865 653276 October

£50.00 A state dinner at the White House, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, once-in-a-lifetime birthday celebrations – every lucky guest knows that there is no party like a David Monn party. Using scent, sound, sight, touch and taste, Monn designs events to be ‘shared, lived and felt’ by everyone there. Monn’s three favourite words – authenticity, scale and detail – inform every chapter of his book, following him from classic New York nights to events around the world and back again to the most private rites of passage, including entertaining at home. How 52

to do this yourself? It means considering your home as not just rooms, but instead as ‘a living environment’, and not thinking of a birthday as a party, but rather ‘a milestone of accomplishment and growth.’ With a rare foreword by venerable fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, in this volume Monn draws from his personal archive of 20,000 event photographs to reveal the unique beauty of each event. David Monn’s clients include social lions around the world as well as a Who’s Who of brands and institutions. Belle Greener Harlech is a journalist, poet and avid horticulturalist. Born in Cardiff, Wales, she lives in Nova Scotia. This is her first book. Bill Cunningham is a legendary New York Times’ photographer, famous for his weekly ‘On the Street’ column.

Painter A. E. Backus (1906–1990) portrayed an unspoiled Florida that has made his paintings synonymous with the state: backcountry terrain is often described as ‘Backus landscape’, emotive clouds as ‘Backus sky’, and translucent waves as ‘Backus water’. As more and more of the state’s wilderness is lost to development, Backus’s paintings emerge as poetic testaments of Florida’s lost paradise. This lush celebration of his life and work introduces a remarkable regional painter.

Florence − capital of Tuscany, birthplace of the Renaissance and a UNESCO Word Heritage Site − is shown in this book through the depictions of its architectural wealth, iconic monuments and its less well-known areas. From churches to museums, gardens to palaces, and small squares to twisting narrow streets, Fabrice Moireau has created a vivid portrait of the city where the Medicis, Leonardo da Vinci and Dante Alighieri once lived. The artist’s palette reveals the grandeur of the history of Florence, as well as its charms and atmosphere.

Natasha Kuzmanovic, an art historian and conservator, has contributed to numerous publications including African Images: Art and Ornament and The Influence of Paris: European and American Sculpture 1830–1930.

Fabrice Moireau has illustrated many books in Editions Didier Millet’s sketchbook series, including Paris Sketchbook, Rooftops of Paris, Loire Valley Sketchbook, Provence Sketchbook and New York Sketchbook.

This book documents the effects of the powerful earthquake that struck the northeastern coast of Japan in March of 2011, followed by the tsunami that overwhelmed the town of Otsuchi in the prefecture of Iwate. This fishing community of 15,000 inhabitants was one of those most damaged by the successive waves, which reached eighteen metres in height and destroyed almost 60% of the town. Alejandro Chaskielberg places family photographs of inhabitants found after the tsunami in dialogue with images of survivors amidst the ruins of their homes.

Alejandro Marote was born in Spain in 1978. This is his first book.

Jo Ractliffe: The Borderlands Text by Patricia Hayes

Photography 93 photographs 30.5 x 23.9 cm 176pp ISBN 978 8 416 282067 July

£39.00 ‘For most South Africans, Angola was perceived as a distant elsewhere – “the border” – where brothers and boyfriends were sent as part of their military service. Now, over two decades since Namibia’s independence and the withdrawal of SADF [South African Defence Force] troops from the region, the “Border War” remains something with which much ignorance and shame – for some, even betrayal – are associated. During the making of As Terras do Fim do Mundo, I became curious about whether traces of the war could be found within South Africa’s borders. I was interested in exploring the

idea of a militarized landscape. But rather than spaces connected with the usual apparatus of South Africa’s military, I wanted to search out sites that were intricately connected to that war.’ Since 2007, South African photographer Jo Ractcliffe has focused on the aftermath of the war in Angola, particularly in Pomfret, Kimberley and Riemvasmaak, examining the intersection of the apartheid era with today’s democracy. This volume gathers her documentation. Throughout her career, South African photographer Jo Ratcliffe (b. 1961) has directed her camera toward landscapes to address themes of displacement, conflict, history, memory and erasure.

Irene Kung has always been fascinated by trees – both their shape and their symbolic meaning. In this book she deploys her great skill as a photographer to portray trees old and young, using the play of light to create stunningly beautiful compositions. Every leaf is shown in full detail. These striking images capture the spirit of the place and transmit it on photographic paper, as pure, intact and free from any contamination and urban interference as it should be.

Published on the occasion of Claressa Shields’s second Olympic appearance in Rio and upon release of the feature documentary T-Rex, this book tells an epic story of redemption and achieving the American dream. While the film is mainly about Claressa, this book is her and her sister in Flint, Michigan. For most people, being from Flint is like being in quicksand. There are no jobs, no resources, no easy solutions, no easy way out. Claressa is the exception. Briana is the rule. And while on paper Claressa is the golden child and Briana is the trouble child, these photos show that it’s more complicated than that…

Irene Kung has exhibited at the Bozar Museum in Brussels, Belgium, and in the spectacular surroundings of the Certosa San Giacomo in Capri, Italy. She contributed to EXPO 2015 with a solo show at the Fruit and Legumes Cluster featuring 26 photographs of fruit trees. Her book The Invisible City was published in 2012.

£30.00 On the occasion of its 30th anniversary in 2014, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain asked the Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki to take a photograph every day, that would then be published weekly on its website in the shape of a slide show. Getting caught in the game, Araki took more than one picture a day from May 2014 to March 2015, producing 1,250 colour photographs featuring views of Tokyo, portraits of young women, sensual still-lifes, or shots taken at restaurants or in a small bar in the district of Kabuki-cho, one of his favourite spots. The

62

Fondation Cartier has collated all the images into one book, Hi-Nikki (Non-Diary Diary), offering a sumptuous showcase of this rich digital project and inviting the reader to dive into the daily life of a prolific artist. Nobuyoshi Araki (b. Tokyo, 1940) invented the genre of the false photographic journal in 1980. Araki takes his inspiration in the history of his country, his daily life and Japanese eroticism. Situated somewhere on the border between autobiography and the diary, his work features spontaneous pictures of staged situations.
