William Kentridge

Being Led by the Nose

Jane Taylor

“This is an extraordinarily intrepid and lucid book. The fit between Taylor and Kentridge is so invigorating it may as well be unprecedented. Rarely has a major living artist found so engaged, major, and lively a commentator.”—Garrett Stewart, author of Closed Circuit

Accounts and Drawings from Underground

The East Rand Proprietary Mines Cash Book, 1906

William Kentridge and Rosalind C. Morris

This book is the result of a unique collaboration between Kentridge and Morris, inspired by the 1906 Cash Book of the East Rand Proprietary Mines Corporation. Kentridge’s 40 landscape drawings serve as a visual epitaph to a history of disappearances. These drawings are accompanied by Morris’s narrative, giving us a palpable sense of the world that gold mining created.

Gerhard Richter

Images of an Era

Edited by Uwe M. Schneede

Among German painter Gerhard Richter’s best-known works are his large-scale paintings based on—and sometimes applied directly to—photographs. These paintings marked a new phase in Richter’s remarkable career. Providing new insight into these complex photo-derived works, Gerhard Richter: Images of an Era presents 50 of the artist’s works that cumulatively form an image of Richter’s Germany—its hopes and dreams, its new possibilities and memories of the oppressive past.

Lucian Freud

Portraits

Edited by Daniel Blau

Lucian Freud redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. And while most are familiar with Freud’s thickly impasted paintings, few realize how integral etching became to his practice. Presenting an exceptional overview of Freud’s works on paper over his more than six-decade career, this oversized volume highlights the artist’s unconventional approach to the medium.

The Joy of Sets

A Short History of the Television

Chris Horrocks

“Television, reveals cultural historian Horrocks in this compact chronicle, has tangled roots. . . .

That’s the Way It Is

A History of Television News in America

Charles L. Ponce de Leon

“Ponce de Leon has written a brisk and informative history of television news since its inception in the late 1940s, covering the more than six decades of TV news from Douglas Edwards to Diane Sawyer. . . . The narrative moves quickly, yet pauses to offer extended discussions of such topics as the genesis of PBS, the establishment of CNN, the innovations of Roone Arledge at ABC, and the ways that local news helped to reshape the network evening newscasts.”—Chester Pach, Ohio University
