Inventing the Alphabet
The Origins of Letters from Antiquity to the Present
Johanna Drucker
“With Inventing the Alphabet, Drucker—scholar, interpreter, and designer of printed words and letters—sheds light on that which has brought humankind out of darkness.”—Steven Heller, author, design critic, and cochair of the SVA MFA Design Department
Inventing the Alphabet provides the first account of two-and-a-half millennia of scholarship on the alphabet. Drawing on decades of research, Johanna Drucker dispels myths and identifies a pantheon of little-known scholars who contributed to our modern understandings of the alphabet, one of the most important inventions in human history.

Modern Art and the Remaking of Human Disposition
Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen“Right at the helm of new writing about the twentieth-century body stands Butterfield-Rosen’s brilliant, precise, meticulous study of gestures and stances, dispositions, movements, and postures. In Seurat, Klimt, and Nijinsky, she identifies a veritable feedback between viewer and work, between modernism and the science and beliefs it drew on and reshaped. . . . A dazzling achievement.”—Stefanos Geroulanos, coauthor of The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe

From Lived Experience to the Written Word
Reconstructing Practical Knowledge in the Early Modern World
Pamela H. Smith
“This is a brilliant, groundbreaking, and timely book. Through a particularly novel and exciting approach, Smith offers the first book-length study on the way early modern practitioners wrote about their skills. It is a must read for the growing community of scholars interested in material culture and in the ways how bodies, minds, things, and materials interact with each other.”—Christine Göttler, author of Last Things 2022 352 p. 83/4 x 91/2 75 color plates, 41 halftones

Behind the Angel of History
The Angelus Novus and Its Interleaf
Annie Bourneuf
“A stunningly brilliant book. Behind the Angel of History reads like a detective story, tracing the dialectic undercurrents of a monoprint by Paul Klee, which Bourneuf illuminates with historical nuance, contextualizing Klee’s print in the political culture of its time. Bourneuf is to be commended for her prodigious, resourceful scholarship and singular contribution to furthering our understanding of Angelus novus.” —Paul Mendes-Flohr, University of Chicago 2022 176 p. 7 x 10 23 color plates, 15 halftones

Thirty Years behind the Scenes of Modern French Painting
Berthe Weill
“Pow! Right in the Eye! reveals the visionary trajectory of Berthe Weill’s life and work. Incredibly open to taking risks, Weill exhibited many of the twentieth century’s greatest artists while they were still early in their careers. This wonderful book is an urgent protest against forgetting this great gallerist and her journey of endless experimentation.”—Hans Ulrich Obrist, Serpentine Galleries, London

“In this exhilarating book, Bruno asks not only ‘What is an atmosphere?’ or ‘Toward what ends has the concept of atmosphere been put?,’ but also ‘What do atmospheres do?’ What comes to light is how these ethereal, powerful clouds act upon and with us, carrying affect, enabling artistry, enacting creativity, inflecting mood. . . . Atmospheres of Projection is lyrical and learned, provocative and inviting—and makes a significant contribution to materialist philosophies, to film theory, to art criticism and aesthetics, and to anyone who breathes in the atmospheres of our time.”—Jane Bennett, Johns Hopkins University

Sound Writing
Experimental Modernism and the Poetics of Articulation
Tobias Wilke
“
Sound Writing presents a new understanding of what is often called the ‘nonsense poetry’ of the early twentieth-century avant-garde and its intellectual background, as well as its echoes in later avant-gardes. In telling this story, Wilke draws on underexplored sources and draws out new causal lines. With Language Poetry, translingualism, collage, conceptual writing, and artificial intelligence on our minds, the topic of the book cannot be ignored, and Wilke’s contribution is sure to be widely read and discussed.”—Haun Saussy, author of Are We Comparing Yet?

“This is a brilliant, boldly original work of arthistorical scholarship. [Saletnik] examines in rich detail the formation of Josef Albers’s pedagogy in Wilhelmine Germany, how it shaped his legendary teaching at Yale, and—this is the bold part—how his pedagogical exercises decisively shaped habits of mind and hand in the work of Yale alumni Eva Hesse and Richard Serra, two artists whose artistic practice seems far removed from Albers’s own.”—Charles W.

“Dense and provocative, the essays in Black Paper are a reminder that darkness cannot last forever, and even within it, there is meaning and hope.”—Foreword
“In this erudite collection of observations written over the past three years, art historian Cole meditates on art, identity, politics, and literature to decipher ‘the fractured moment in our history.’ . . . Offering a window into his articulate worldview, Cole brings into sharp relief the very humanity he seeks.”—Publishers Weekly Berlin Family Lectures

In addition to its exciting philosophical and art historical interventions, Klinger’s analysis delineates a practical ethics of art-making that deserves to be read by anyone interested in the theory and practice of art in today’s crisis of world-sharing.”—Whitney Davis, University of California at Berkeley

Art Manet and the Slave Trade
Henry M. Sayre
“Value is a difficult art historical term, too often reduced to questions of price or hue. In Value in Art: Manet and the Slave Trade, Sayre achieves an eye-opening feat, namely, the unveiling of the term’s true political economy. Focused on Édouard Manet’s key 1860s paintings, Sayre articulates the period’s commodification of the black and female body—through slavery and prostitution—as the true subject of early modernist painting in France. This is indispensable reading for all scholars of Manet, the 1860s, and the politics of representation, as well as modernism’s fraught relationship to the history of slavery.”—André Dombrowski, University of Pennsylvania

Repatriation Politics between Europe and Mexico
Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll
Following conflicting desires for an Aztec crown, this book explores the possibilities of repatriation.
“The Contested Crown is a beautifully written and engaging work, effectively weaving together family history, colonial studies, museum politics, conservation dilemmas, national agendas, and personal reflections. Carroll situates the book in a global art history while also considering a psychological dimension of the protagonists’ feelings, from guilt to intimacy.”—Sally Price, author of Paris Primitive: Jacques Chiracʼs Museum on the Quai Branly 2022 200 p. 6 x 9 27 halftones

Queer Behavior
Scott Burton and Performance Art
David J. Getsy“Building on unprecedented research, Queer Behavior is the first substantial study of Scott Burton’s anti-hierarchical, eclectic, desireoriented art of the 1970s. Getsy has written a masterful work toward a loving recuperation of an artist whose work has at times been eclipsed in histories of art and performance. . . . The resulting book is unyieldingly good, at times breathtakingly so.”—Dominic Johnson, author of Unlimited Action: The Performance of Extremity in the 1970s

Brigid Cohen
“This is a field-changing book. Cohen calls to account many legends about experimental music in New York and strips away the heroic storytelling of the past to reveal uncomfortable truths about the racial and imperial underpinnings of modern music in the United States. . . . The readings of music and sound are deeply illuminating, sometimes breathtaking, in their revelations and in their surprising connections with biographical detail.”—Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Ohio State University

Conflict Graffiti
From Revolution to Gentrification
John Lennon
“From Ferguson to Palestine, this elegantly crafted and vividly detailed text takes graffiti, an under-theorized form of political action and expression, and locates it firmly in the arsenal of resistance to oppression. Closely articulated to forms of state violence and the specificity of time and place, graffiti is a ‘tool of dissent’— speaking back and speaking to—in its demands for radical change. While never losing sight of the creative and political impulse, Lennon does not mince words in his critique of the commodification and appropriation of street art.”

Apropos of Something
A History of Irrelevance and Relevance

Apropos of Something is a phenomenal achievement—lucid, urgent, and rampantly intelligent. Tamarkin’s readings of art and literature emerge, like a leaping trout in a Winslow Homer painting, from the ground of careful philosophical explication to capture that feeling of surprise when we truly pay attention to something. Tamarkin does not simply analyze; she teaches us how to see. . . . This book possesses an Emersonian power to realize one of our great abstractions.”—Gavin Jones, author of Reclaiming John Steinbeck: Writing for the Future of Humanity 2022 448 p. 6 x 9 62 color plates, 5 halftones 29 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-45312-5 $35.00 Your Price: $24.50

Jacobus Vrel
Looking for Clues of an Enigmatic Painter
Edited by Quentin Buvelot, Bernd Ebert, and Cécile Tainturier
Jacobus Vrel is like a phantom. No written sources describing the artist or his work have ever been discovered. His existence is documented only by some fifty surviving works, which can hardly be compared with those of his seventeenth-century contemporaries. With investigative flair and drawing on extensive technical examinations of the paintings, this book explores the mysterious pictures of this recently rediscovered Dutch painter.

Titian’s Lost Last Supper A
New Workshop Discovery
Ronald Moore
This intriguing book investigates the revelation that a long-ignored painting of the Last Supper, on display in a Herefordshire church for 111 years, was in fact a long-lost masterpiece. In 2018, as the painting underwent much-needed restoration, conservator and art historian Ronald Moore discovered a signature on the painting—that of Tiziano Vecellio, the sixteenth-century Italian painter known as Titian. Moore’s extensive research, presented alongside seventy illustrations, culminates in a denouement unparalleled in Renaissance art.

Edited
by Sergio Risalti, Corinna Thierolf, and Gerhard WolfIn 2019, Wolfgang Laib entered into an artistic dialogue with masterpieces by Fra Angelico, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, and Benozzo Gozzoli. Following an invitation from the Museo Novecento in Florence, Laib created five works in four of the city’s historical sites, including the convent of San Marco and the Pazzi Chapel. In their juxtaposition with historic masterpieces, the delicate pollen sculptures and an imposing beeswax ziggurat create a contrast between present and past.

Bourdichon’s Boston Hours
Anne-Marie Eze and Nicholas Herman Jean Bourdichon remains today one of the most celebrated artists of the French Renaissance. Painter to two kings, Bourdichon produced paintings, books, and even parade floats for the sovereign and his entourage. His illustrious career at the French royal court led to a wide range of commissions—from portraits to wall maps to stained glass—but he is remembered principally for astonishing illuminated manuscripts. This book is an absorbing exploration of the crown jewel of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s collection of rare books and manuscripts: Jean Bourdichon’s Boston Hours.

Sesson Shūkei
A Zen Monk-Painter in Medieval Japan
Edited
by Frank Feltens and Yukio LippitSesson Shūkei stands out as an anomaly in the history of Japanese art. Inspired by the wild landscape of the eastern regions of Japan, Sesson led a peripatetic existence caused by a lifetime of experiencing warfare and upheaval —yet he created some of the most visually striking images in the history of Japanese ink painting. Drawing on new art historical and sociological insights into Japan’s sixteenth century, this book considers how war, uncertainty, and displacement can spawn untamed creativity.

The Women Who Shaped Modern Art in Britain
James ScottThis book tells the stories of determined women like Helen Sutherland, Margaret Gardiner, Myfanwy Piper, and many more who helped change the course of British art in the middle of the last century. Hitherto overshadowed by their male counterparts, these women had a vigor and passion that set London on its course to become an art metropolis to rival Paris and New York in the 1940s through the 60s. Fully illustrated with key works of art, this volume peels back the curtain on the inner workings of the mid-twentieth-century British art scene.

Nineteenth-Century Women Artists
Sisters of the Brush Caroline Chapman
“Many of the artists featured in this book have been forgotten or consistently ignored by museums, galleries and art historians. After enduring centuries of social restrictions and taboos (for example, young women were not allowed to visit an art museum unchaperoned), by the 1870s women artists were flocking to Paris to be tutored in private art schools. Their newfound confidence saw them tackling a wide range of subjects and contributing to the century’s dramatic developments in art styles.”—Artmag (UK)

Kirchner and Nolde
Expressionism. Colonialism.
Edited
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) and Emil Nolde (1867–1956) were leading figures in the German expressionist movement. Turning away from Western society and the established norms of bourgeois culture, the artists looked to people, lifestyles, and objects from other parts of the world for inspiration, especially Africa and Oceania. This book examines Nolde’s and Kirchner’s works against the background of their historical and ideological context: colonialism, domination, and the European invention of a racialized Other.

Based on new sources, this book presents the life and work of Hans Purrmann and situates the painter as a prominent protagonist in twentieth-century art history.

Van Gogh. Self-Portraits
Edited by Karen SerresThe myth of Van Gogh today is linked as much to his extraordinary life as it is to his worldfamous paintings. His biography has often shaped the way his self-portraits have been (mis)understood. Spanning his entire career, this volume explores these highly personal paintings, analyzing the artist’s self-representation in context to reveal the role it plays in his oeuvre. Of particular interest is the striking way the evolution of Van Gogh’s self-representation can be seen as a microcosm of his development as a painter.

Paul Klee—Ad Parnassum Landmarks of Swiss Art Oskar Bätschmann
In the 1920s, German-Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879–1940) began his long-lasting engagement with polyphonic art—a multi-voiced way of painting analogous to music. In this book, distinguished art historian Oskar Bätschmann explores Klee’s seminal painting Ad Parnassum (1932). Painted shortly after the artist’s departure from the Bauhaus, it symbolizes a new era—one of Klee’s own self-discovery. Bätschmann documents how the artist strove for a connection of music to painting in his color hues and in the rhythmic movement of colored dots.

Writings on Art and Criticism
Kurt Schwitters“Schwitters was a one-person Gesamtkunstwerk, who both concentrated and dispersed the old Wagnerian ideal. On the one hand, his practice was private, even domestic: his chief laboratory was his home in Hanover, which was gradually consumed by the first obsessive construction to be called ‘Merzbau’, a 3-D assemblage that eventually took up eight rooms. On the other hand, his activity involved multiple, often manic collaborations, the range of which is evident in the edition of his writings, expertly selected by Megan Luke and translated by Timothy Grundy.”—London Review of Books 2021 656 p. 7 x 9 83 halftones 95 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-12939-6 $40.00 Your Price: $28.00

For the publication of her collections of plant photography, she used the latest technology, the recently invented cyanotype.

This book presents a large number of Atkins’s images, beautifully reproduced, and gives contemporary audiences a chance to appreciate this neglected pioneer.

“Each [work] was designed to provide energy, water, food, shelter, and waste regenerating capabilities for this remote, 3,800-acre, off-grid site—and to do so in ways that work in concert with and support natural systems and habitats for native species. The book . . . is a proof of concept for how to live in beauty and harmony with the Earth. The results are a glimpse into the near future of our sustainable landscapes.”

Perched Feleksan Onar With Contributions
by Louis de BerniéresThis exhibition companion explores the aesthetic and political concepts inherent in Feleksan Onar’s glass artworks. Onar’s work draws on her own personal history as well as collective memory, dealing with notions of identity, constructed narratives, historical relations, and the effects of politics on society. Her newest exhibition evokes the Syrian refugee crisis through twenty-seven delicate glass swallows. Alongside eighty full-color reproductions, the text analyzes different aspects of Onar’s work and initiates vital discussion about navigating social calamity through art.

Raised from the Ruins Monastic Houses after the Dissolution
Jane Whitaker
This book tells the gripping story of how monasteries were swept away and their buildings adapted to secular use after the English Reformation.
“A fascinating but troubling study of a category of buildings distinctively English: those buildings and lesser structures created out of monastic ruins, a category that I have never seen treated in such depth and detail before.”

Max Uhlig
The Windows of the St. Johannis Church
Edited by Annegret LaabsThe Dresden-based artist Max Uhlig has created a truly one-of-a-kind installation for the Gothic Church of Saint John in Magdeburg, Germany. The cathedral, first built in 1209, was destroyed during World War II when heavy bombing destroyed the church’s windows and caused significant structural damage. Uhlig’s installation of colorful windows offers an abstracted history of the church’s destruction and rebirth.

Lehmbruck—Kolbe— Mies van der Rohe
Artificial Biotopes
Edited by Sylvia Martin and Julia WallnerIn the 1920s, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe began to conceive of architecture, design, and art as united forces. He incorporated the works of Wilhelm Lehmbruck and Georg Kolbe, two of the best-known sculptors of the Weimar Republic, into the designs of his buildings. This book is among the first to bring sculpture and nature together in an examination of Mies van der Rohe’s work. Highlighting eight sculptures by Lehmbruck and seven by Kolbe, the volume features more than one hundred color illustrations.

An Atlas of Jewish Space and a Synagogue for Babyn Yar
Robert Jan van Pelt, Mark Podwal, and Manuel HerzOn September 29 and 30, 1941, more than 33,000 Jewish citizens were murdered in Babyn Yar, a ravine in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. In commemoration, and as an affirmation of a Jewish future, a synagogue designed in the shape of an oversized Jewish prayer book was inaugurated on the same site in May 2021. This lavishly illustrated two-volume work documents the creation and reception of this new architectural landmark.

The Reconstruction of Berlin Palace

The Reconstruction of Berlin Palace offers an in-depth account by experts who were directly involved in the process.
