Young Charlotte, FilmmakerFrank Viva

Children’s

Illustrated throughout • 30.0 x 23.0cm • 40pp

ISBN 978 0 870 709500 • September

£12.95

Young Charlotte is a filmmaker who loves

everything that’s black and white, including

spiders, penguins and the old movies that she

sees with her dad at the Golden Theatre (where

the floors are sticky). With her camera at the

ready wherever she goes, she finds inspiration

for movies everywhere she looks. But when her

colourful parents and colourful classmates just

don’t ‘get’ her, she’s ready to give up – until a lucky

encounter with a film curator at The Museum of

Modern Art in New York changes her perspective.

Inspired by the films she sees at MoMA and stories

of other pioneering directors, Charlotte gets to

work. And it’s hard work! But when her movie

finally premieres at the Museum, Charlotte is

thrilled to be doing exactly what she loves best.

A follow up to Frank Viva’s Young Frank,

Architect and perfect for film lovers, aspiring

directors and creative souls, Young Charlotte,

Filmmaker is an inspiring tale of a girl with a

camera and a vision.

In addition to illustrating ten New Yorker covers in the past two years, illustrator and designer Frank Viva has published two award-winning and bestselling children’s books – Along a Long Road was named one of the New York Times’ Ten Best Illustrated Books of 2011. Viva is also founder of the branding and design agency Viva & Co. and cofounder of Whigby, a stationery company.

Joaquín Torres-García: The Arcadian ModernEdited by Luis Pérez-Oramas Contributions by Alexander Alberro, Sergio Chejfec, Estrella de Diego and Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães

Art Monograph

220 illustrations • 26.7 x 22.9cm • 240pp

ISBN 978 0 870 709753 • October

£40.00

Joaquín Torres-García is one of the most complex

and emblematic modern masters from the first

half of the 20th century, whose work determined

transformational paths for modern art on both

sides of the Atlantic. His personal involvement

with a significant number of early Modern

and avant-garde movements, from Catalan

Noucentismo to Cubism, Ultraism, Vibrationism

and Neo-Plasticism, make him an unparalleled

figure in the history of modernism in the Americas.

Published in conjunction with the first major,

all-inclusive retrospective of the artist’s work

in the US since the 1970s, this richly illustrated

publication presents Torres-García’s long and

wide-ranging career, from the late 19th century

to the 1940s, and includes drawings, paintings,

objects and sculptures. Combining a chronological

presentation with a thematic approach, the

book is organized into five separate essays with

interspersed plates, followed by an illustrated

chronology and an extensive bibliography.

Luis Pérez-Oramas is the Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Picasso Sculpture Edited by Ann Temkin and Anne UmlandContributions by Luise Mahler and Virginie Perdrisot

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 0 870 709746 • October

£55.00

Published in conjunction with the first large-scale

retrospective of Picasso’s sculpture in the United

States since The Museum of Modern Art’s historic

show of 1967, Picasso Sculpture is a sweeping

survey of the artist’s profoundly innovative and

influential work in three dimensions. It presents

approximately 150 sculptures – many of them

captured in newly commissioned and sometimes

multi-view photographs – alongside a selection

of works on paper and photographs. Organized

into chapters that correspond to distinct

periods during which Picasso devoted himself

to sculpture, the book features an introduction

by the exhibition curators as well as a richly

illustrated documentary chronology focusing

on the sculptures included in the exhibition. A

comprehensive bibliography and list of historic

exhibitions related to Picasso’s work in sculpture

closes the volume, advancing the understanding

of Picasso’s practice and lifelong commitment to

constant reinvention.

Grapefruit Yoko Ono

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 0 870 709784 • July

£100.00

Yoko Ono is a seminal figure in the development

of conceptual art, performance and Fluxus, as

well as film and new music. Her artist’s book

Grapefruit, first published in 1964 in Tokyo by

Wunternaum Press, in an edition of 500 copies,

contains more than 150 works divided into five

sections: MUSIC, PAINTING, EVENT, POETRY,

OBJECT. These works – conceptual instructions –

are the culmination of a process that dispensed

with the physical and arrived at the idea.

Since the initial publication of Grapefruit,

numerous expanded editions have been produced


in many different languages. Today, first-edition

copies are nearly impossible to find. This special-

edition facsimile of that first edition, produced

from a copy of the 1964 book in The Museum

of Modern Art Library, is an exacting replica of

Grapefruit as Ono first envisioned it. Published in

conjunction with the exhibition ‘Yoko Ono: One

Woman Show, 1960–1971’, the publication is

available in a limited edition of 500 copies.

Yoko Ono is a multimedia artist, musician and performer. She was a key contributor to the Fluxus movement and worked on a number of additional projects, including the Plastic Ono Band with John Lennon.

Walid RaadEva Respini Contributions by Finbarr Barry Flood and Walid Raad

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 0 870 709739 • October

£35.00

Published to accompany a comprehensive

exhibition of his work at MoMA, this catalogue

surveys three decades of Walid Raad’s practice

in a variety of mediums. It features his most

momentous bodies of work, beginning with

his groundbreaking project The Atlas Group

(1989–2004), to his recent sweeping work on the

history of art in the Arab world (2007–ongoing).

Essays by curators and scholars place Raad’s art

in the context of contemporary image making

in photography and video, as well as art made

in his native Lebanon since the 1960s; provide

an overview of Raad’s performance lectures in

relationship to his oeuvre; and examine Raad’s

most recent bodies of work made in the Islamic

galleries at the Louvre and Metropolitan Museum

of Art, which explores the history, collecting,

and display of historical and modern art and

artifacts from the Arab world and Iran. A special

contribution by Raad presents a fictional interview

with multiple artists, curators and writers, which

provides rare insight into the artist’s working

method and addresses various themes that run

throughout his work.

Family of Man60th Anniversary Edition

Edward Steichen Prologue by Carl Sandburg

Photography


ISBN 978 1 633 450011 • October

£22.50

Hailed as the most successful exhibition of

photography ever assembled, ‘The Family of Man’

opened at The Museum of Modern Art in January

1955. Presenting what Edward Steichen referred to

as a ‘collective portrait’ of humanity, the exhibition

featured 503 photographs from 68 countries, 273

of which were taken by amateur photographers. As

the permanent embodiment of this monumental

exhibition, this book reproduces every one of the

images that Steichen described as ‘a mirror of

the essential oneness of mankind throughout the

world. Photographs made in all parts of the world,

of the gamut of life from birth to death.’ This

hardback edition is published to celebrate the 60th

anniversary of this landmark exhibition and book.

Edward Steichen was an American photographer, painter, designer and curator. He began as a self-taught photographer and gained recognition after his work was discovered by photographers Clarence H. White and Alfred Stieglitz. Steichen’s work was often featured in Stieglitz’s influential magazine Camera Work. Steichen became the director of MoMA’s photography department in 1947. Carl Sandburg was an American writer, poet and editor. He was the recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes, one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln, and two for his poetry.

Photo-PoeticsAn Anthology

Preface by Richard Armstrong Contributions by Susan Thompson By Jennifer Blessing

Contemporary Art/Photography


ISBN 978 0 892 075218 • flexibound • October

£32.00

This catalogue presents an important new

trend in contemporary photography, offering an

opportunity to define the concerns of a younger

generation of artists and contextualize them

within the history of art and culture. Drawing

on the legacies of conceptual and commercial

photography, these artists pursue a largely

studio-based approach to still-life photography

that centres on the representation of objects,

often printed matter such as books, magazines

and record covers. The result is images imbued

with poetic and evocative personal significance

that resonate with larger cultural and historical

meanings. Driven by a deep interest in the

medium of photography, these artists attempt to

rematerialize the photograph through meticulous

printing, using film and other disappearing

photo technologies, and by creating photo-

sculptures and installations. Artists include

Claudia Angelmaier, Erica Baum, Anne Collier,

Moyra Davey, Leslie Hewitt, Elad Lassry, Lisa

Oppenheim, Erin Shirreff, Kathrin Sonntag and

Sara VanDerBeek.

Jennifer Blessing is Senior Curator of Photography at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Alberto Burri: The Trauma of PaintingEdited by Emily Braun Contributions by Megan M. Fontanella and Carol Stringari

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 0 892 075232 • October

£42.00

Published to accompany a major retrospective

exhibition, this title showcases the pioneering

work of Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915–1995).

Exploring the beauty and complexity of Burri’s

process-based works, it positions the artist as a

central and singular protagonist of postwar art.

Burri is best known for his series of Sacchi (sacks)

made of stitched and patched remnants of torn

burlap bags, often combined with fragments

of discarded clothing. Far less familiar are his

other series, which this book represents in depth:

Catrami (tars), Gobbi (hunchbacks), Muffe (molds),

Bianchi (whites), Legni (woods), Ferri (irons),

Combustioni plastiche (plastic combustions),

Cretti and Cellotex works.

Burri’s work both demolished and

reconfigured the Western pictorial tradition,

while reconceptualizing modernist collage.

His unprecedented approaches to manipulating

humble substances – and his abject picture-

objects – also profoundly influenced Arte Povera,

Neo-Dada and Process art.

Emily Braun is Distinguished Professor of 20th-century European and American Art at Hunter College, New York.

Class DistinctionsDutch Painting in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer

Ronni Baer • Essays by Henk van Nierop, Herman Roodenburg, Eric Jan Sluijter, Marieke de Winkel and Sanny de Zoete

Art History


ISBN 978 0 878 468300 • October

£40.00

The Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century

was home to one of the greatest flowerings of

painting in the history of Western art. Freed from

the constraints of royal and church patronage,

artists created a rich outpouring that circulated

through a newly open market to patrons and

customers at every level of Dutch society.

Their closely observed details of everyday

life in naturalistic portraits, genre scenes and

landscapes offer a wealth of information about

the possessions, activities and circumstances that

distinguished members of social classes, from

the nobility to the urban poor. The dazzling array

of paintings gathered here – from artists such as

Frans Hals, Jan Steen and Gerrit Dou, as well as

Rembrandt and Vermeer – illuminated by essays

by leading specialists, invite us to explore a vibrant

early modern society and its reflection in a golden

age of brilliant painting.

Ronni Baer is William and Ann Elfers Senior Curator of Paintings, Art of Europe, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

ISBN 978 0 878 468294 • August

£29.95

Contemporary art in craft media presents

a profusion of paradoxes. It bridges ancient

traditions and state-of-the-art technologies,

cutting edge concepts and enduring tenets about

skilled making, and in so doing blurs the lines

between craft and architecture, art and design.

This pioneering publication brings together work

by nearly forty international artists, whose varied

approaches are not only pushing but redefining

the boundaries of what we call craft today.

Author and museum curator Emily Zilber

investigates the role of new tools and materials; the

connection between craft and performance; and the

power of craft to interact with architecture. Along

the way, readers encounter a diverse group of works

across a wide range of materials and practices,

including 3-D printed ceramics, a dancelike

performance with molten glass and a piano

deconstructed to form jewelry that alternately

surrounds and adorns the body. Enhanced with

approachable text and abundant illustrations,

Crafted forms a tempting invitation to explore

these stunning and surprising objects in flux.

Dough PortraitsSøren Dahlgaard

Photography


ISBN 978 1 908 970220 • October

£24.99

This visually stunning, hilarious and outlandish

book of photography presents Danish performance

and conceptual artist Søren Dahlgaard’s

ongoing series of ‘Dough Portraits’, in which he

creates absurdist portraits of people with their

heads encased in dough. Since 2008 he has

photographed more than 2,000 sitters of all ages

and backgrounds in diverse settings all over the

world. Collaboration, process and performance

are as much elements of the work as the finished

image itself, with each participant ‘co-creating’

their own portrait, first by kneading the dough,

then by placing it on their head or having it put

in place by others, and then by carefully selecting

a pose – all before of an audience of amused or

bemused onlookers.

This book reproduces in lavish detail selected

portraits from all the main projects in the series,

alongside photos and stills of the shoots as they

took place. Commentaries by some of those who

commissioned the work as well as participants

and witnesses recount their experiences, and

reflect on the various aesthetic, ethical and social

issues raised by Dahlgaard’s transformation of this

everyday material into the stuff of art.

Søren Dahlgaard (b.1973, Denmark) has had solo shows, projects and commissions at prestigious institutions and biennales all over the world.

Want MoreAlex Schneideman • Text by Paul Dolan and Harry Eyres

Photography


ISBN 978 1 908 970237 • October

£22.50

Positioned somewhere between documentary

and art photography, Want More is a stark and

hard-hitting portrayal of 21st-century capitalism

in action. In a series of arresting, atmospheric and

beautiful images, London-based photographer

Alex Schneideman captures the numbing and

denaturing effects of mass consumerism by

photographing shoppers at large. Despite the

instant beauty of each frame, tedium, misery,

anxiety, frustration and occasional anger seem to

be the dominant emotion, as they appear ground

down by their duty to spend, spend, spend.

A text by behavioural scientist Paul Dolan

examines Schneideman’s photographs as

demonstrations of the social and psychological

effects of boundless consumerism, and the

addictive and herd-like behaviour it demands, and

evidence that as we become richer, we do not

necessarily become happier. Writer Harry Eyres

addresses what the photographs tell us about

21st-century life and considers alternatives to the

culture of constantly wanting more.

Alex Schneideman has produced two books, Hardlight and Skin, and is founding editor of the magazines Smack. Paul Dolan is Professor of Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Harry Eyres is a journalist, writer and poet. For eleven years until 2015, he wrote a column for the Financial Times titled ‘Slow Lane’.

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 1 908 970206 • July

£29.99

Coinciding with a touring exhibition, this book

is the first monograph on the acclaimed Israeli

painter Gideon Rubin. After witnessing the events

of 9/11 in New York first hand, Rubin turned his

back on his realist way of working and embarked

on a method that has become his signature

style. Using found photographs, magazines and

newspapers as his primary source material, he

paints portraits – faceless portraits. These small,

unnerving paintings of featureless figures, full of

life but empty of expression, are charming and

chilling in equal measure.

This exquisite book features high-quality

reproductions of dozens of works and numerous

photographs of the artist and the studio. Four

writers examine how Rubin both challenges

and extends the traditions of European painted

portraiture. They also consider how he employs oil

paint to stake a claim for the renewed relevance

and enduring value of the hand-crafted picture,

and to question the relative status of photography

as the supposed carrier of ‘truth’.

Gabriel Coxhead is a writer, art critic and curator based in London. Martin Herbert is a writer and critic based in Tunbridge Wells and Berlin.

Luc Tuymans: IntoleranceEdited by Lynne Cooke Essays by Jan Avgikos and Nick Cullinan

Art Monograph

1,000 illustrations • 29.5 x 24.0cm • 528pp

ISBN 978 9 491 819353 • October

£65.00

This catalogue is published to accompany the

major Tuymans exhibition opening in Doha, Qatar,

in October 2015. Spanning some thirty years of

the artist’s career, Intolerance speaks to abiding

preoccupations long mined by the Belgian painter

in response to a rapidly changing world. Aware

from the outset of his career that painting as an

art form was in crisis, and recognizing that the

role and ubiquity of the image in contemporary

culture was shifting in reponse to technological

developments, Tuymans took a fighting stance.

In a contrarian move, painting became for him

a vehicle through which the most urgent and

volatile issues – whether relating to history,

identity, nationalism and belief, or to social and

political events – could be eloquently probed.

This ambitious retrospective includes an

interview by the curator of the exhibition, Lynne

Cooke, essays by Jan Avgikos and Nick Cullinan,

and catalogue entries by Donna Wingate.

Organized around key themes in Tuymans’

stringent practice, it will cast new light on Luc

Tuymans’ singular trajectory.

Lynne Cooke is senior curator, special projects in modern art, at the National Gallery of Art. Nick Cullinan is the Director of the National Portrait Gallery in London. Jan Avgikos is currently a visiting critic at Yale’s School of Fine Art.

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 2 851 171900 • July

£275.00

Written by Kelly scholar Yve-Alain Bois in direct

collaboration with the artist, this is the first

volume of the most important publication to date

on Ellsworth Kelly’s work.

Encompassing Kelly’s work up to his return

to the United States from France in 1954, it

covers the artist’s formative years as a student at

the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston

and as a young artist living in Paris, where he

began painting the abstract forms which would

later define his career. Kelly’s remarkable pace of

production during this early period resulted in an

especially diverse oeuvre, which is discussed in

depth throughout this publication. The catalogue

includes insightful texts and high-quality images

of individual works and preparatory drawings,

along with provenance information, exhibition

history and bibliographic information, making

it sure to be an irreplaceable reference tool for

institutions, collectors and admirers.

Yve-Alain Bois (b. 1952) is co-editor of the Journal October, and noted philosopher of art and professor of Art History at the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

Cahiers d’Art N°1, 2015 Calder in FranceAlexander S. C. Rower, Susan Braeuer Dam, Alfred Pacquement, Raphaël Bouvier, Robert Rubin, Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Joan Simon

Art


ISBN 978 2 851 171818 • July

£50.00

Produced in collaboration with the Calder

Foundation, this tribute to Alexander Calder

focuses on the artist’s long-standing relationship

with France, beginning in 1926. After the war,

Calder spent significant periods of time in Paris in

1946, in Aix-en-Provence in 1953, and finally in

Saché in the Loire Valley, where in 1963 he designed

his final monumental studio. In 1989, the studio

became the Atelier Calder residency programme.

The book contains copious images of Calder’s

work; interviews with Tadashi Kawamata, Abraham

Cruzvillegas and Rachel Harrison; and a selection

of images of past residents’ work, including a

special portfolio of models for new sculptures by

2014 resident Monika Sosnowska. It reproduces

pivotal essays on Calder published by Cahiers

d’Art during the artist’s lifetime, as well as texts

by Alexander S. C. Rower, Calder’s grandson and

President of the Calder Foundation. Contemporary

Nils-UdoNils-Udo • Preface by John K Grande

Art Monograph



£22.00

Published on the occasion of a new installation on

the French Riviera by renowned German land artist

Nils-Udo, this volume offers an overview of the

artist’s forty-year career. His Riviera installation –

mossy wooden rafts, installations of turf, flowers

and bamboo on the Ile Sainte-Marguerite – is fully

documented here.

Nils-Udo (b. 1937) has been working directly with nature since 1972. He turned from painting nature to creating site-specific pieces using natural materials. His stunning and lyrical artworks have appeared in Europe as well as Japan, Israel, India and Mexico.

The artist works on site using found berries, leaves, sticks, the movement of water, the growth of plants. Each piece is in response to the landscape and materials he finds around him. The beauty of nature and the gently altered landscapes revealed in Nils-Udo’s work are entrancing and mysterious. It is a seductive world of ‘potential utopias’, colourful mounds, giant nests and dreamy days in the forest. Nature is his source and inspiration.

Van Gogh DrawingsInfluences and Innovations

Edited by Sjraar van Heugten

Art Monograph


ISBN 978 2 330 052546 • July

£22.00

This book considers the influence of other artists’

prints and drawings on Van Gogh’s graphic œuvre.

The book juxtaposes a selection of Van Gogh’s

work – some forty drawings and prints – with a

range of works that inspired him. These include

prints from illustrated magazines and 19th-

century prints, which he avidly collected and

which strongly influenced his early work, as well

as replicas of 17th-century prints, Japanese prints

and other works which inspired his remarkable

drawings with the reed pen in Provence.

Van Gogh absorbed a multitude of influences,

which combined to create drawings that are highly

innovative, not only in style but often also in

technique. The exhibition and this accompanying

publication will pay close attention to those and

other aspects of one of the most remarkable

drawn œuvres of the 19th century.

Sjraar van Heugten was Head of Collections at the Van Gogh Museum from 1999 to 2010. In 2010 he became an independent art historian. He was curator of the opening exhibition at the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles, Van Gogh: Colours of the North, Colours of the South. Most recently he curated the exhibition Van Gogh in The Borinage: The birth of an artist, which opened in Mons, Belgium, in January 2015.

ISBN 978 3 863 355180 • October

£200.00

With his Boîte-en-valise, or Museum in a Box,

Duchamp embarked on one of his more ambitious

projects: a portable museum of miniature replicas

and facsimiles created with the help of elaborate

reproduction techniques as pochoir (a type

of hand stencilling) and comprising his most

important works. Conceived in the mid-1930s and

consisting of up to sixty-nine items, it was first

released in 1941 and continued to be assembled in

various editions until after his death, with the final

seven different series totalling about 300 items.

This publication is a facsimile of the series D,

1961 edition. Created with the full approval of

the Duchamp Estate, it contains a reproduction of

The Large Glass on Plexiglas, colour reproductions

of his pictures, reproductions of his drawings and

a selection of his humorous texts, a glass vial

of Parisian air, a urinal, a small sugar dispenser,

‘canned chance’ and other miscellanea, all housed

in a green cardboard box.

Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

ISBN 978 3 863 355203 • slipcased • October

£700.00

This monumental publication maps the ideas,

processes, life and times of one of the most

important painters of our time. Conceived and

closely edited by Gerhard Richter himself, Atlas

cuts straight to the heart of the artist’s thinking,

collecting more than 5,000 photographs, drawings

and sketches that he has compiled or created

since the moment of his creative breakthrough

in 1962. Year by year, the images closely parallel

the subjects of Richter’s paintings, revealing the

orderly but open-ended analysis that has been

so central to his art. From pictures of family and

friends to images from the mass media, Richter’s

photographs – sometimes found, sometimes

original – have provided the basis for many of

his paintings, often re-emerging in a luminous,

monochromatic palette, and falling ambiguously

between documentary and historical painting.

Offering invaluable insight into Richter’s

working process, this magnificent new edition

has been newly conceptualized by the artist. An

accompanying commentary volume by Helmut

Friedel will be published in 2016.

Gerhard Richter is a German visual artist.

International PopEdited by Darsie Alexander and Bartholomew Ryan

Art History


ISBN 978 1 935 963080 • August

£55.00

This dynamic new volume is the first major survey

to chronicle the emergence and migration of Pop

art from an international perspective, focusing

on the period from the 1950s through the early

1970s. It provides important new scholarship on

the period, examining production by artists across

the globe who were simultaneously confronting

radical cultural and political developments that

would lay the foundation for the emergence

of an art form embracing figuration, media

strategies and mechanical processes with a new

spirit of urgency and/or exuberance. International

Pop amplifies the scope and tenor of what we

understand to be ‘Pop’, exposing the tremendous

complexity of this pivotal period and subject

matter, and revealing how artists alternatively

celebrated, cannibalized, rejected or assimilated

some of the presumed qualities of Pop advanced

in the US and Britain. Anchored by a 48-page

visual chronology, the book features original texts

by Godfre Leung, Darsie Alexander, Maria Jose

Herrera, Claudia Calirman, Erica Battle, Dávid

Fehér, Luigia Lonardelli, Hiroko Ikegami, Ed Halter,

The Future of the SkyscraperSOM Thinkers Series

Edited by Philip Nobel • Text by Bruce Sterling, Tom Vanderbilt, Matthew Yglesias, Diana Lind, Will Self, Emily Badger & Dickson DespommierIllustrations selected by Michael Govan

Architecture



£12.95

Engines of industry, expressions of ego or will, tall

towers are nonetheless – when they pierce the

shared skies – intensely public. In this volume,

Bruce Sterling describes four possible futures

that might shape future towers, presenting a

choose-your-own-adventure of potential futures

for architecture, some of them terrifying in their

nearness. We peer up at skyscrapers old and new,

visit their highest floors, turn them this way and

that to see them clearly through the psychology

(Tom Vanderbilt) and physiology (Emily Badger)

of living and working on high, and through the

lens of policy in the low-rise counterexample

of Washington, DC (Matthew Yglesias). Diana

Lind tests the idea of tall against the more

sprawling needs of industry. Will Self looks back

in literature, film and recent urban history to

write towards a new understanding of the tower

in the popular imagination. Dickson Despommier

shares a comprehensive vision of an ecological

future, in which towers, perhaps supertalls, would

necessarily play a crucial role.

How Posters WorkBy Ellen Lupton Text by Caitlin Condell, Gail Davidson and Ellen Lupton

Design History


ISBN 978 0 910 503822 • July

£19.95

How Posters Work is more than a standard

exhibition catalogue. Conceived as a useful and

illuminating primer in visual thinking, it explores

principles of design through a range of historical

and contemporary works, uncovering ideas

relevant not just to the design of posters but to

2D design more generally.

How Posters Work has a unique focus on

visual language. Rather than provide a history

of the genre or a compilation of collectibles, the

book is organized around active design principles.

Concepts such as ‘Simplify’, ‘Focus the eye’,

‘Exploit the diagonal’, ‘Reverse expectations’ and

‘Say two things at once’ are illustrated with a

diverse range of posters, from avant-garde classics

and rarely seen international works to pieces by

today’s leading graphic designers. Illustrated with

over 150 works from the collection of Cooper

Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, it provides

a stunning education in seeing and making,

demonstrating how some of the world’s most

creative designers have mobilized principles of

layout, composition, psychology and rhetoric to

produce powerful acts of visual communication.

CCCP Cook BookTrue Stories of Soviet Cuisine

Food/Culture


ISBN 978 0 993 191114 • September

£18.95

As the Soviet Union struggled along the path to

Communism, food supplies were often sporadic

and shortages commonplace. Day to day living

was hard, and both the authorities and citizens

had to apply every ounce of ingenuity to

maximize often inadequate resources.

Illustrated using images sourced from original

Soviet recipe books collected by the author, this

book contains over sixty recipes from the Soviet

era, spanning such delicacies as aspic, borscht,

caviar and herring, by way of bird’s milk cake and

pelmeni. The stories and recipes contained here

reflect turbulent times. They range from basic

subsistence meals consumed by the average

citizen (okroshka), to extravagant banquets held

by the political elite (suckling pig with buckwheat),

with a smattering of classics (beef stroganoff) in

between. Many of these sometimes extraordinary-

looking pictures depict dishes whose recipes used

unobtainable ingredients, placing them firmly in

the realm of ‘aspirational’ fantasy for the average

Soviet household; they act as a window into

cuisine of the day, in turn revealing the unique

political and social attitudes of the era.

Palm Beach interiors have long reflected the

travels, penchants and whimsies of the town’s

worldly inhabitants. But as property on this tiny

barrier island becomes increasingly valuable,

residents are calling upon world-class designers to

help fine-tune their visions, giving rise to a fresh

tropical design vernacular.

Palm Beach Chic captures the enduring charm

of newly restored seaside fantasies by Mizner,

Fatio and Volk, celebrated for their Cuban coquina

courtyards and soaring miradors overlooking

tiled pools and arching fountains. Jennifer Ash

Rudick leads an insider’s tour of twenty-five

houses, cottages, Moorish casbahs, artists’

compounds, and Mad Men-era vintage condos.

Jessica Klewicki captures extraordinary gardens,

verandas, lakeside pavilions, a rustic ranch,and

simple pastel Bermudan houses sheltered by dense

thickets of Norfolk pines and age-old banyans. It

is this eclectic mix of old and new, of Spanish and

Caribbean, of contemporary design and sun-faded

WASP thrift, that makes Palm Beach chic.

Berlin SketchbookPaintings by Fabrice Moireau Text by Boris von Brauchtisch

Travel


ISBN 978 9 814 610025 • July

£19.95

Berlin, the capital city of Germany, can be seen

as a 25-year-old city. Following the fall of the

Berlin Wall in 1989, the city’s identity evolved to

be modern, tolerant and at times even eccentric.

This identity was forged by the reunion of two

close but disparate populations. On one side,

Berliners lived in a city of right angles: grey, dull,

comfortless, with uniformity as dogma. On the

other, the architecture was more traditional and

eclectic, and the lifestyle much more comfortable.

Today, thanks to the successful reunification,

Berlin is becoming one of the most visited

capitals in Europe. In his Berlin Sketchbook, artist

Fabrice Moireau – ever passionate about urban

architecture – captures both the iconic sites and

hidden corners of Germany’s capital, bringing out

the best of the city.

Fabrice Moireau is a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art in Paris. A great lover of architecture and Roman history, he strives in his watercolours to convey the subtle play of light and the atmosphere of a city or landscape. He has illustrated many publications in the Sketchbook series including Paris Sketchbook, Rooftops of Paris, Loire Valley Sketchbook, Provence Sketchbook, Venice Sketchbook and New York Sketchbook, also published by Editions Didier Millet. Boris von Brauchtisch is a German art historian, curator, photographer and writer. He lives in Berlin and has published more than thirty books.

of Salsa – a musical form that blazed through

Latin America, West Africa and North America.

Bandleader Machito set New York’s jazz scene on

fire, while Chano Pozo’s entry into Dizzy Gillespie’s

group led to the birth of Latin Jazz. Other figures

such as Mario Bauza, Mongo Santamaria, Celia

Cruz, Arsenio Rodriguez, Isreal ‘Cachao’ Lopez

all first made their mark in Cuba. This glorious

collection of record cover art forms a cohesive

visual collection of a musical form in an almost

constant state of flux.

Stuart Baker is the founder of Soul Jazz Records.

ISBN 978 9 171 263292 • October

£40.00

In 1977, at the height of the disco craze, a club

opened at 254 West 54th Street in New York

City. Studio 54 was – and, arguably, remains – the

world’s most renowned and legendary disco.

Regularly attended by celebrities such as Andy

Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Bianca

Jagger, Jerry Hall, Debbie Harry, Grace Jones,

Michael Jackson, Calvin Klein, Elton John, John

Travolta, Brooke Shields and Tina Turner, the

club fostered an atmosphere of unadulterated

hedonism for New York’s art and fashion set. Hasse

Persson and his camera were frequent club guests

from 1977–80. The images he photographed

there have become legendary, capturing the club’s

famed revellers, dancers in costume and general,

drunken exhilaration – and yet, incredibly, Studio

54 marks the first time in history that they have

seen publication. Almost thirty-five years after

the club’s unceremonious and sudden closure, this

beautiful hardback volume superbly documents

the zeitgeist.

Hasse Persson has had a long career as a photojournalist. Though Swedish born, he spent nearly a quarter century, from 1967 to 1990, working in New York. He worked as the artistic director of the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg and today he is the artistic director of Strandverket Konsthall in Marstrand, Sweden.

£20.00

Like so many stops on a long journey across the

Bella Paesa, Italia Metafisica is a collection of

images that George Tatge has made over decades

of living and working in Italy – its countryside,

its cities, its history, its many transformations.

Tatge’s eye is attentive, measured, both cultured

and passionate. And the Italy that he photographs

for us reveals the fascination and mystery of its

magnificent and still so fragile equilibrium.

George Tatge has exhibited his work throughout the world. Carlo Sisi was until 2006 Director of the Palazzo Pitti Gallery of Modern Art in Florence. Diego Mormorio is an essayist, historian and photography critic.

Mirrors Windows and HomesConversations

Guido Guidi and Francesco Zanot

Photography


ISBN 978 8 869 656118 • October

£19.00

In a lengthy conversation with Francesco Zanot,

Guido Guidi looks back over his artistic career,

from his beginnings in design and his architectural

studies, to his subsequent collaboration with some

of the world’s most famous museums. Author of

precise and rational images, the photographer here

recounts the genesis of his work and its principal

points of reference, broadening the discussion

in directions apparently distant and unrelated,

ranging from Zen philosophy to Renaissance

painting, from Surrealism to contemporary

theatre. The book, organized on the basis of key

themes in Guidi’s investigation, thus unfolds

in a series of cross-references and influences,

overlaps and quotations, in the conviction that

no discipline, and in particular photography, can

exist independently of any other. The tone of

the discussion is apparently light, marked by the

rhythm of memories and brief anecdotes, since,

like the rest of his work, the substance of Guidi’s

words does not lie on the surface, but comes from

a remarkable depth.

Francesco Zanot is a photography critic and curator. Guido Guidi has taught photography at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Ravenna since 1989. His photographs have been exhibited internationally.

Self & OthersPortrait as Autobiography

Foreword by Karen Sinsheimer • Introduction by Paula Tognarelli • Afterword by Aline Smithson

Photography

ISBN 978 1 926 856063 • October

£40.00

Self & Others is an almost twenty-year

culmination of portrait photographs captured

by award-winning photographer Aline Smithson.

Beginning with her early forays into black and

white work, produced as darkroom silver gelatin

prints, she photographed the world around her

considering the poignancy of childhood and

the pathos of aging and relationships. The book

continues with her hand-painted photographs

featuring her defining series, Arrangement in

Green and Black: Portrait of the Photographer’s

Mother, where she combines humour and family

to create a universal expression of motherhood.

The book is completed by her colour projects that

revisit beauty, the essence of childhood, and an

examination of created realities. At the heart of

Aline’s work is her ability to recognize the inner

self of her subjects; she considers all her portraits

a reflection of herself and the stories she wants

to tell, and in that way, she has created a visual

language that is her own unique autobiography.

Paula Tognarelli is Executive Director of The Griffin Museum of Photography, Boston. Karen Sinshelmer is Curator of Photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California. Aline Smithson is represented by galleries in the US and Europe and published throughout the world.

The WatchersHaley Morris-Cafiero • Essay by Martin Heiferman Introduction by Amanda de Cadenet

Photography


ISBN 978 1 926 856070 • September

£30.00

‘In 2010, I set up a camera to take a self-portrait

in Times Squares in New York City. After I had

the film developed, I looked at the images and

found that a man was standing behind me and

appeared to be sneering at me. I never thought

that I would capture a glance that can last a

microsecond. Since then, I have been setting up a

camera in public to see if I can capture the gazes

of the strangers who walk by me while I am doing

everyday, mundane acts. I then look at the images

to see if anyone who passed by me had a critical

or questioning look on their face or in their body

language. I present the images to the world to

start a conversation. While I do not know what the

passer-by is thinking, I attempt to reverse the gaze

back onto the stranger’ Haley Morris-Cafeiro

Haley Morris-Cafiero is an Associate Professor and Assistant Dean at Memphis College of Art.

Both Sides of SunsetPhotographing Los Angeles

Edited by Jane Brown and Marla Hamburg Kennedy Foreword by Ed Ruscha • Introduction by David L. Ulin

Photography


ISBN 978 1 938 922732 • July

£50.00

Los Angeles is a city of dualities – sunshine and

noir, coastline beaches and urban grit, natural

beauty and suburban sprawl, the obvious and the

hidden. Both Sides of Sunset reveals these dualities

and more, in images by master photographers

such as Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, Daido

Moriyama, Julius Shulman and Garry Winogrand,

as well as many younger artists, among them

Matthew Brandt, Katy Grannan, Alex Israel, Lise

Sarfati and Ed Templeton. Taken together, these

individual views by more than 130 artists form

a collective vision of a place where myth and

reality are often indistinguishable. Spinning off

the highly acclaimed Looking at Los Angeles, Both

Sides of Sunset presents an updated and equally

unromantic vision of this complex metropolis.

It showcases many of the artists featured in the

original book – such as Lewis Baltz, Catherine Opie

and Stephen Shore – but also incorporates new

images that portray a city that is at once unhinged

and driven by irrepressible exuberance.

Jane Brown is Vice President, National Accounts Director, Artbook|DAP. Marla Hamburg Kennedy is a consultant, advisor and major photography collector. David L. Ulin is book critic of the Los Angeles Times. Ed Ruscha is an American artist.
