digital art
(Victoria and albert Museum) 1960s – now
Pita Arreola and Corinna Gardner
A new history of digital art from the 1960s to the present day, with decade-by-decade essays exploring evolving digital art practices, alongside interviews with artists, gallerists, museum curators and collectors.
This is the global story of digital art from its earliest beginnings to the innovative work of today, encompassing wide-ranging, experimental practices, from computer-generated works on paper created by mathematicians, scientists, engineers, programmers and artists in the 1960s to interactive installations, virtual reality, net art and videogames. A collaborative, dynamic approach still characterizes the practice of today’s digital artists, who employ technology as a tool while examining its social, ethical and political impact.
Digital Art: 1960s–Now delves into ideas of artificial intelligence, computer animation, simulation and cybernetics through the historic works of pioneering artists such as Analívia Cordeiro, Manfred Mohr, Vera Molnar and Frieder Nake, alongside renowned contemporary practitioners including Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Ibiye Camp, Sarah Friend, Trevor Paglen and Anna Ridler.
Hokusai: a life in drawing
(deluxe edition)
Henri-Alexis Baatsch
a deluxe large-format edition of this beautifully illustrated introduction to Katsushika Hokusai, the most prolific artist of Japan’s edo period, and master of ukiyo-e – ‘images of the floating world’.
Hokusai: the blue, foam-crested wave rearing above Mount Fuji; the celebrated volcano idealized and reinvented by the artist in every nuance of view, season and painting; extraordinary bridges, the waterfalls of Japan, the contortions, costumes, gestures – the very breath of men, women, peasants, townsmen, warriors, artisans, leaping horses, birds, insects, fish, almost live on the ground on which they are painted – the countless imaginative drawings or the lively sketches done on the spot for the Manga, Hokusai’s record of shapes and forms drawn from life or imagined over time.
With a body of work comprising more than 30,000 drawings and paintings, Hokusai (1760–1849) was the most prolific, varied and indisputably the most creative artist of old Japan.
• This book is a beautifully produced work of art in itself, and its new large format allows the reader to appreciate Hokusai’s work in fine detail.
• An excellent introduction to the work and life of the Japanese ‘brush gone wild’.
Hokusai’s Method
Kyoko Wada and Ryoko Matsuba
an omnibus edition collecting 15 volumes of Hokusai’s dedicated drawing manuals, ‘e-tehon’.
Of the 300 or so printed books Hokusai created in his lifetime, a huge proportion of these were dedicated drawing manuals, known as e-tehon (drawing models). They show not only Hokusai’s great proficiency as a draughtsman, but also his wealth of ideas, and his sense of humour.
This omnibus edition collects 15 volumes of Hokusai’s e-tehon, which feature over 800 illustrations of instructions from 1812 to 1848. With every page faithfully reproduced against the original works, the book shows Hokusai’s playful approach to drawing with amusing songs, pictures comprised of letterforms (a forerunner to today’s emoji), modern designs for craftsmen, and, yes, dance moves.
This all-encompassing endeavour also includes a valuable work that he published just before his death. This was his magnum opus, serving to ‘preserve everything I’ve learned’.
Yayoi Kusama: i Spend each day embracing Flowers
Yayoi Kusama and Robert Slifkin
the newest book from the widely revered Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama features her latest monumental and vibrant work and is the first to explore the experience of seeing it from the lens of the visitor
“My entire life has been painted here. Every day, any day. I will never cease dedicating my whole life to my love for the universe.” —Yayoi Kusama
One of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Yayoi Kusama occupies a unique position within recent art history. Since the 1950s, she has created a profoundly personal oeuvre that resonates with a global audience. Distinctly recognizable, her works frequently deploy repetitive elements—such as dots— to evoke both microscopic and macroscopic universes.
Celebrating the visitor experience, this publication offers an immersive tour of Kusama’s 2023 exhibition at David Zwirner, New York. Illustrating thirty-five paintings, a gigantic sculptural installation of pumpkins, a trio of towering, colorful flower sculptures, and a fan-favorite Infinity Mirror Room, this is a vivid document with varying perspectives that echo Kusama’s own.
david Hockney paper trails
Shai Baitel
a wide-ranging monograph of over 100 prints by Hockney
David Hockney (b. 1937) is renowned for his distinctive paintings, mostly portraiture and landscape, but also for his approach to works on paper and printmaking, mirroring the vibrancy and diligent indexing seen in his broader body of work. Hockney’s prints often showcase a dynamic interplay of color, form, and perspective, reflecting his keen eye for visual storytelling of intimate elements of his own life.
Throughout his career he has experimented with various printmaking techniques, including etching, lithography, screen printing, and more recently iPads, each method revealing his diligence in manipulating the medium –without ever experiencing, in his own words, “a feeling of failure.” Like much of his oeuvre, Hockney’s prints draw from extensive art historical study of the optical devices of Old Master paintings. Recently, his iPad-based art shows an interest in the changing seasons from his own perch in the English countryside, among other vantage points and geographies of interest.
Whether depicting landscapes, portraits of friends, or banal scenes, Hockney’s prints exhibit a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and his own distinct playfulness and insight to daily life.
Colour and Culture
practice and Meaning from antiquity to abstraction
John Gage
What does the language of colour tell us? Where does one colour begin and another end? Is it a radiant visual stimulus, an intangible function of light, or a material substance to be moulded and arrayed?
Colour is fundamental to art, yet so diverse that it has hardly ever been studied in a comprehensive way. Art historian John Gage considers every conceivable aspect of the subject in this groundbreaking analysis of colour in Western culture, from the ancient Greeks to the late twentieth century. The first-ever undertaking to suggest answers to many perennial questions about the role of colour in Western art and thought, this study throws fresh light on the hidden meanings of many familiar masterpieces.

discovering the impressionists
Memoirs of paul durand-ruel
Flavie Durand-Ruel and Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel

Frans Hals
Master of the Fleeting Moment
Dagmar Hirschfelder and Katja Kleinert
Capturing the human in painting
Frans Hals is one of the most important portrait painters of all time. Like Rembrandt, the famous Dutch Baroque master’s striking portraits of the bourgeoisie and social outsiders are distinguished by their extraordinary vividness and accurate depiction. His sketch-like paintings, executed with bold brushstrokes, had a decisive influence on modernist painting. This comprehensive publication coincides with the first major survey exhibition of Hals’ oeuvre in more than thirty years.
pre-raphaelite Sisters
Jan Marsh and Peter Funnell
Think of the images created by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others in their circle, however, and it is not men but pale-faced young women with lustrous, tumbling locks that spring to mind, gazing soulfully from the picture frame or in dramatic scenes painted in glowing colours. Who were these women? What is known of their lives and their roles in a movement that, in successive phases, spanned over half a century?
For far too long the male protagonists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement have dominated accounts of this revolution in British art. This book aims to redress the balance in showing just how engaged and central women were to the endeavour – as the subjects of the images themselves, certainly, but also in their production.

How painting Happens (and Why it Matters)
Martin Gayford
drawing on decades of conversations with practising artists, Martin Gayford offers intimate insight into the practice, meaning and potential of painting.
As a way of making images, pigment applied to any surface, from cave wall to canvas, painting has been around for tens of thousands of years. Yet it has proved capable of endless renewal.

Heinz-Norbert Jocks and Zhao Gang
pedro Wirz: Forever Was today (Bilingual edition)
Federico Campagna
This book is a journey into the cosmos of the Brazilian-Swiss artist Pedro Wirz, in which humans and animals, but also legendary creatures coexist. His artistic investigation of the systemic devastation of diversity witnessed across biological, cultural, and ethnic fronts today is based on scientific explorations, but also on his very own experiences within a particularly threatened ecosystem.
Zhao Gang is regarded as one of the outstanding “representatives of his generation, who truly understands East as well as West and speaks Chinese and English as a native language” (Phil Tinara) and who, as a passionate painter, consequently, also blends the visual language of East and West into a hybrid in a subtle, rebellious, sensitive, frenetic, mischievous, and absurd manner. This publication provides an overview of six central exhibitions from recent years, and takes a retrospective look at his work and life. 312 pages, 28 x 20.5

Pop Art epitomized the free spirit of the 1960s, blending carnival-like qualities with bold colours and monumental scale, but based on a tough, no-nonsense, no-refinement standard appropriate to its time. Renowned art critic and curator Lucy Lippard’s classic, contemporaneous study enriches our understanding of this groundbreaking art movement.
T.J. Clark offers profound insights on Bruegel’s art, where we encounter a reality formed from wholly worldly materials, yet suspended between belief and disbelief.

Chanel: the allure of Makeup
Natasha A Fraser
the first book dedicated to Chanel makeup, published in collaboration with Chanel to celebrate the house’s inspiring story of makeup creation which began in 1924.
In 1924 Gabrielle Chanel launched the house’s first makeup products, marking the beginning of a century of creativity, quality and innovation. Now for the first time, Chanel: The Allure of Makeup reveals the history of Chanel makeup creation – including advertising campaigns created by some of the world’s leading photographers and film directors.
The story unfolds in seven chapters that represent the quintessential colours of Chanel’s visual vocabulary: Black, White, Beige, Red, Pink, Gold and Blue. Iconic products such as the black and white compact or 31 Le Rouge lipstick in timeless red punctuate the chapters and claim their rightful place in the pantheon of beauty.
With unprecedented access to the Chanel archives, this book presents a wealth of visual material from historic images of Gabrielle Chanel and seldom-seen early product shots, to cinematic campaigns starring legendary women.

Muñoz Yagüe
and Philippe Garner
Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out presents an extraordinarily intimate insight into a fascinating world of creativity in the latter, sumptuous phase of Saint Laurent’s career, between 1989 and his final collection in 2002.
The book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted exploration of the life of an haute couture house: from informal, atmospheric portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, drawing and creating, to the behind-thescenes work of the ‘petites mains’ in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented.

alaÏa / GrÈS beyond fashion
Azzedine Alaia and Mme Grès
For the first time, ALAÏA / GRÈS beyond fashion brings together 60 designs by Madame Grès and azzedine alaïa.
Determined to a lifetime of seclusion spent entirely in their ateliers, Madame Grès saw herself as a sculptor. Azzedine Alaïa studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts in Tunis. While there is no evidence that the two couturiers ever crossed paths, their creations undoubtedly did.
Apostles of a certain form of simplicity, the seemingly simple creations of Grès and Alaïa hide an inherent complexity in their cut and design. United by their formal principles, their cutting techniques and the harmonious combinations of fabric and colors they commonly embraced, the clothes by both couturiers invite readers to a lesson beyond fashion.

described by the Sunday times as ‘a fascinating revelation of an adventurous and protean spirit’, this biography is inspiration behind the up-coming film Lee, starring Kate Winslet as lee Miller.

These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Miller’s finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penrose’s tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.
