Raymond Cauchetier’s New Wave Raymond Cauchetier, Foreword by Philippe Garner, Edited by James Hyman n the late 1950s and early 1960s French New Wave cinema exploded onto international screens with films like Les quatre cents coups, A bout de souffle and Jules et Jim. They were radical, artistic, original and most importantly set up the director as a creative genius; at the forefront were François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. Today these films are credited with changing cinema forever. For many film goers they command strong and passionate respect and became the foundations on which a lifetime of cinema-going is built.

I

In the photographs of Raymond Cauchetier we bear witness to the great artistic genius that was central to the process of making these films. Cauchetier’s photographs are a culturally important documentary of the director at work, his methods and processes. His photographs capture some of the most memorable moments in film; Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg on the Champs Élysées in A bout de souffle, Jean Moreau in the race scene of Jules et Jim, Anna Karina in a Parisian Café in Une femme est une femme.

ISBN: 9781851497911 ACC Editions 300 x 240mm. 208pp. 160 b.&w. June 2015, £40.00 Hardback

First ever monograph in English devoted to the film photography of Raymond Cauchetier, featuring arguably the greatest images of the French New Wave cinema; many images have never been seen before.

But Cauchetier’s genius lies also in the fact that his photographs are far above just a visual record of these films. They clearly show the same spirit, the same freedom and the same originality that made The New Wave so important. Cauchetier’s photographs are as much a part of The New Wave as the films themselves. In the words of Richard Brody: “In these images, Raymond Cauchetier, a witness to art, made art by bearing true witness.” This is the first book published in English featuring the New Wave film photographs of Raymond Cauchetier.

Groupies

The Rolling Stone Photographs Baron Wolman aron Wolman was the first photography editor of Rolling Stone magazine. His photographs of the icons of popular music were key to that magazine’s legendary status. In addition to those icons, he photographed The Groupies - the girls who loved music and the men who created it.

B

The 1960s were a time of cultural revolution, with music leading the way. From small clubs to giant festivals, such as Woodstock, music became the heart of a new generation's rallying cry for love, peace and harmony. With men (mainly) leading the way on stage, the girls backstage started to create their own form of liberation too. These young girls were better known as the Groupies. Girls who loved music and the men who created it. On February 15, 1969, Rolling Stone magazine issued a “Special SuperDuper Neat Issue” called “THE GROUPIES and Other Girls,” featuring the work of their chief photographer Baron Wolman. This issue would become iconic, a milestone issue, making the girls instant celebrities. With this one single issue, the Groupies arrived.

London Secrets

Architecture, History, Culture, Interiors Driss Fatih ondon Secrets unlocks the city’s most fascinating secrets. Driss Fatih strips away bricks, mortar and tarmac to uncover parts of the capital that even born and bred Londoners may never have seen. In the shadow of the Gherkin, Cheesegrater and WalkieTalkie skyscrapers are medieval churches, crypts and the curios of Postman’s Park - proof that altruism can exist in the Square Mile. In St James’s, a stone’s throw from the glitz and glamour of Soho are hidden squares and shops dating from a gentler age - purveyors of fine wine, gentleman’s apparel and bowler hats.

L

The cobbled mews of Marylebone and Hampstead Village reveal unexpected treasures, rarely seen interiors and a rural idyll amid the urban hum. While the esoteric collections at the Horniman, Sir John Soane’s Museum and exotica of Leighton House make you feel you are in an entirely different country altogether. The author reveals the traditions and quirks that have survived to this day, from the freedom of the City of London allowing you to herd sheep through the town, to the “market ouvert” of Bermondsey Market, original home of the London wheelerdealer. Lavishly photographed and researched, London Secrets will shed a whole new light on this most vibrant - and surprising - of cities.

The Art of Botanical Illustration Wilfrid Blunt and William T Stern This major work, first published in 1950, is still considered the classic work on the subject. The book was revised and enlarged by ACC in the year 2000, and published to overwhelming acclaim; this is a reprint of that edition. It provides a comprehensive, critical and well illustrated survey of the portrayal of plants through more than three thousand years. Of the first edition, the poet and gardening writer, Vita Sackville-West, after referring in The Observer to the wealth of illustration and the fascination of the text, then said, “Let no one think this is a book only for the specialist. It is essential for the specialist, certainly, but it is also for all the flower-lovers and all those who enjoy the by-ways of biography and the added attraction of good writing”. Wilfrid Blunt, an artist himself, brought to it a craftsman’s appreciation and knowledge gained from experience, the extensive literature and visits to many galleries on the Continent. William T. Stearn gave him much help on botanical, biographical and bibliographical matters and contributed part of the text.

Professor Stearn has revised and enlarged this classic work and greatly extended the chapter on the twentieth century. This edition includes 126 colour plates (more than twice as many as the original 1950 edition) and 140 black and white illustrations, thus making available to the general public numerous examples of the work of great botanical illustrators past and present.

Botanical Illustration from Chelsea Physic Garden Andrew Brown, with contributions from Christopher Bailes, Phillip Cribb, Anne-Marie Evans Chelsea Physic Garden was founded by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1673 as a resource providing plant material for the training of apothecaries. For most of its existence, the Garden has been a focus for botanists, taxonomists, students and horticulturists both for employing their skills and in training the next generation. These activities have been supported by the work of plant illustrators. It is the purpose of this book to display the work of talented late twentieth- and early twenty-first century botanical artists, members of Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society, whose explicit aim is to illustrate plants in cultivation in the Garden. In 1995 the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society was co-founded by Margaret King and Wendy Page. It is a group of artists, the first cohort of which had been studying for a Diploma in botanical illustration at the English Gardening School at Chelsea Physic Garden.

Women Garden Designers From 1900 to the Present Kristina Taylor

omen Garden Designers showcases the most influential women garden designers from around the world. It illustrates their own gardens, as well as their commissions.

W

Beginning with the remarkable Gertrude Jekyll and Beatrix Farrand, who were working simultaneously, though on different sides of the Atlantic, the book moves on into the 20th century, featuring international designers as diverse as Florence Yoch - who created gardens for film sets and for glamorous Hollywood homes - and Vita Sackville-West - whose regular gardening column in The Observer, along with her own garden at Sissinghurst, influenced those in Britain. In Australia, Edna Walling supplemented her income from her practice with regular articles in life-style magazines. Increasingly with pictureled articles, designers found a way to publicise and advertise their work, thus gaining new clients in emancipated women who were in a position to place their own commissions.

ISBN: 9781870673815 Garden Art Press 300 x 237in. 288pp. 180 col. March 2015, £35.00 Hardback

Women Garden Designers presents twenty-seven of the most important and influential women garden designers and their gardens from around the world, showing both their finest commissions as well as the gardens they designed for themselves, in their own space. The carefully researched text examines their influences and their legacy to garden design.

Women designers were more likely and quicker to embrace the ecological garden movement particularly in Germany and Sweden in the middle of the 20th century. They are represented by Herta Hammerbacher and Rosemary Weisse, who created the glorious perennial plantings in Munich’s West Park and Ulla Bodorff in Sweden, as well as Isabelle Greene in California with her dry native plantings. The modern movement includes Monica Gora and Topher Delaney, for whom spirituality and landscape as works of art are important. The more conventional structured approach is represented by Penelope Hobhouse and Rosemary Verey, who began creating gardens later in their lives, following motherhood. Haruko Seki from Japan and Isabel du Prat from Brazil express their own special cultural qualities in their trans-global practices.

The Art of CFA Voysey

English Pioneer Modernist Architect & Designer David Cole FA Voysey is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Modern movement of architecture and design, and one of the most influential and important of all the 19th and early 20th century British designers.

C ISBN: 9781864706048 The Images Publishing Group 285 x 380mm. 206pp. 195 col. February 2015, £50.00 Hardback

CFA Voysey was one of the first people to understand and appreciate the significance of industrial design.

He designed over 60 houses throughout England, from small cottages and gate lodges to suburban houses and substantial country house commissions. Voysey was the ‘complete designer’; he designed all manner of objects, from wallpaper to cutlery, textiles to furniture, war memorials to stained glass windows, and bookplates. As a leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain his fame and influence extended to the United States to the next generation of American Arts and Crafts architects and early Modernists, notably Greene & Greene, Bernard Maybeck and Frank Lloyd Wright. In Europe, fundamental aspects of Voysey’s design approach were embraced by the Dutch De Stijl group, during the 1920s, and eventually also by the German Bauhaus movement.

Investing a great amount of passion, its present owner, Philippe Austruy, has turned Peyrassol into what it used to be - a place of great beauty, yet with a commercial purpose.

Cooking with Belgian Beers

My Kitchen Alphabet

Flanders Fields is much more than inspiring pieces of nature with beautiful scenery. The region boasts a wealth of historical and cultural heritage, as is evident from its rich beer and food culture. Master chef Stefaan Couttenye is widely known for his pure kitchen without frills, where local and Belgian beers are given pride of place. In this book, he combines his favourite local ingredients with some 50 beers from his region.

Christophe Hardiquest, chef of Restaurant Bon-Bon in Brussels, has two Michelin stars. With the alphabet as a guide Hardiquest presents his favourite products. Twenty letters stand for his most cherished ingredients; products that characterise his kitchen and around which the chef works out his exquisite signature dishes. Forty gourmet creations give the reader a taste of the craftsmanship and the impeccable taste palette of Bon-Bon. Text in English, French and Dutch.

20 TRAVEL

The crystal-clear waters of Lake Garda and its endlessly long banks are known the world over, as is Verona, home to world-famous tragic lovers, Romeo and Juliet. But did you also know that the world’s second-shortest river flows here? Or that the village of Limone did not get its name from its groves of lemon trees? Have you heard the true story of Juliet’s famous balcony? Or the circumstances surrounding the 13th-century “Casa di Romeo” - the house in which the handsome young suitor could very well have lived? This guide will lead you to 111 special places rarely mentioned in conventional travel books, but which lend this history-laden idyll its sensual magic.

Milan - the epicentre of Italian fashion, art, and finance - awaits you at Expo 2015. 142 countries are participating in this modern world’s fair. 20 million visitors are expected, most of whom will storm the city’s famous sights along with the Expo’s pavilions and exhibits. This unconventional guidebook will tell you how to avoid endless crowds and queues, and instead track down the enthralling and little-known places that are hidden throughout this exciting metropolis: Try the best Italian food - in a supermarket! Explore the private studios of famous designers! Discover a flock of flamingos in a backyard garden! Go beyond La Scala and the Duomo, the Navigli and the Golden Triangle of Fashion, to uncover Milan’s best kept secrets.

Michelangelo’s David, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the smooth cypress hills - these are among the celebrated must-see sights of Tuscany. Yet the cultural landscape of Florence and the surrounding countryside is an inexhaustible trove of visual and historical gems if you know where to look, that is. Where, for instance, can you find 1,000 Masonic objects and symbols? Where was a memorial dedicated to a king’s assassin, and where can you see a double-dawn? This book will lead you right inside the turbulent history, exciting stories, and unexpected sites and pleasures of Tuscany. Discover frescos, sculptures and other great and peculiar works of art in hidden locales; try the culinary classics and lesser-known Tuscan treats enjoyed by locals; and seek out breathtaking views from unexpected locations. The French Riviera is known as the land of the beautiful people, both famous and infamous. The iconic harbour of Saint-Tropez and the Promenade d’Anglais have been photographed a thousand times. Yet beyond the camera frame is the seldom seen side of the glamorous Côte d’Azur: bizarre villas, hidden gardens, Buddhist pagodas, Tibetan villages, cloister castles, and much more. In this unusual guide book, you'll discover which mansion on Cap Ferrari was “tattooed” by Jean Cocteau; where to buy umbrellas in Nice; how to find the house in which Heinrich Mann lived while in exile; where you can visit the self-designed graves of Jean Marais and Le Corbusier; and where the Allied landing on the Mediterranean coast took place. 111 Places introduces you to an eclectic selection of thrilling places that will surprise even Côte d’Azur connoisseurs and locals.

With more than a million tourists a year, Cape Town is considered among the most alluring and attractive destinations in the world. This modern and creative metropolis at the foot of Table Mountain, with its turbulent history of colonialism, apartheid, and liberation, is as culturally fascinating as it is disarmingly beautiful, and holds many unexpected surprises. Did you know, for instance, that you can sample more than 500 types of whiskey in one waterfront bar here? Or stroll an elevated walkway that snakes magically through the treetops? This book will lead you to Cape Town’s most enthralling places, many of which are located beyond the well-trodden tourist paths and are even largely unknown to locals. This unusual guidebook invites the adventurous and curious to explore a wildly diverse selection of littleknown places, including: a trapeze school, a giant Buddha in a former porno theatre, a Coney Island sideshow, Louis Armstrong’s home, a Central Park croquet court, a Gatsby-era speakeasy, and a secret balcony where slaves worshipped 200 years ago. Play chess with the masters on a Midtown office-tower wall; have a pint at a legendary prizefighter’s hangout in Soho; whisper messages across a crowded train station. Unexpected and quirky, most of these destinations are so under-the-radar they will astound even longtime New Yorkers who thought they knew it all! San Francisco: the home of hills and valleys, of dreamers and trailblazers, of hippies and hipsters. From the gold rush to the Golden Gate, the City by the Bay has always basked in the glow of its celebrated history and world-renowned landmarks. But for those who live in this compact seven-mile by seven-mile metropolis, San Francisco is a treasure trove of unusual places that sparkle with the allure of hidden pleasures and local lore. Discover a stairway that transports you from the depths of the ocean to the heights of outer space; or take a spin class amidst the grand elegance of a repurposed 1920s movie palace. Beyond the crowded star-paved boulevards of Hollywood and the boutiques of Rodeo Drive, is another Los Angeles; a hidden shopper’s paradise, brimming with charming, eclectic, curious, nostalgic, glamorous and quirky stores, restaurants, and bars that are practically unknown to tourists. From Pasadena to the Pacific Coast Highway, discover the secret haunts and favourite local speciality shops of starlets and mere mortals alike. Wear the hottest designers before they get famous; satisfy your sweet tooth at the world’s first “cupcake ATM”; score some cast-off celebrity bling at a Beverly Hills pawn shop; navigate a two-block alley crammed with 150 discount shops. It’s all yours for the taking in the City of Angels. Milan is one of the fastest moving and fashion forward cities in the world. What’s hip in Milan influences global boardrooms, runways, and commerce. There are extraordinary treasures to be found in this urban hive of high style. Secreted away are many intriguing and ultra-cool shops that even most Milan hipsters have never heard of. This guide will lead you right to their doorsteps. Far from the mainstream Via Montenapoleone, discover the historical neighbourhood of Isola, brimming with contemporary designers, artists, and artisans. Or visit the traditional farmer’s markets near Porta Garibaldi, purchase a newly crafted harpsichord that’s an exact replica of a 1600s original, and shop for botanicals in an urban Garden of Eden. Experience the true spirit of Milan, a city of endless contrasts and creativity and host of Expo 2015.

The fifth guidebook in the 500 Hidden Secrets collection, written by a born-and-bred Parisian; a practical guide to discovering Paris’ finest places, buildings, restaurant, shops, museums, neighbourhoods, parks, hotels and cafés. For tourists who want to avoid the well-known tourist spots and discover the locals’ favourite addresses, and for residents who want to get to know their city even better, this handy little guide is eminently useful. Written by a true local, the book includes lists such as the 5 best vintage markets, the 5 best workplaces for freelancers and the 5 best concert venues. It features 500 addresses and facts that few people know, such as a restaurant where you can order a French meal until 3:30 in the morning, a small stationer’s where the daylight streams in gloriously and you can find the most beautiful Japanese paper creations, or a little shop where gifts like embroidered serviettes are made to order.

Many people are planning to visit Ypres and Flanders Fields for the 100th anniversary of the First World War. The aim of this guide is to take them beyond the obvious sights to discover the secret places they might otherwise miss. Now is the perfect moment to visit this region, since many of the war sites have been improved and upgraded for the 100th anniversary of the war and several major events are planned. A visit to Ypres and Flanders Fields is now more rich, informative and inspiring. The book doesn’t mention every battle or military detail. There are already more than enough guides to the battlefields of the First World War. This book goes one step further and includes places that are not in any way connected with the war, like the 5 most romantic restaurants in Ypres, the 5 inspiring local breweries and the 5 cool B&Bs.

Bruges City Guide 2015 is THE most comprehensive guide to visiting the ‘Venice of the north’; this guide contains up-to-date information on ALL places of interest, museums and attractions, and will be revised every year. The convenient address guide will help you find the best shops, hotels, bed and breakfasts, cafés and restaurants, while the fold out street map will help you get to your destination. This definitive guide includes three walks, as well as cycling routes, through the city, helping you discover the diverse museums, from the Groeninge Museum, featuring fine art from the 15th to the 21st century, to the Hospital Museum - two medieval hospital buildings enjoying a new lease of life as art galleries; monuments, such as The Belfry, with its carillon that has rung every quarter hour for over 700 years; well-known locations, such as the historic city centre - A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bruges City Guide 2015 illustrates how this historic city, with its cherished architecture and artistic treasures - and its breweries and 50 or so chocolate boutiques really does have something for everybody, whether you’re planning a daytrip or a weekend getaway.

Yendegaia National Park offers a visually spectacular tour of one of Earth’s most remote and scenic national parks. In Chilean Patagonia on the grand island of Tierra del Fuego, the new park was prompted by a donation of private land to the Chilean park system. Combined with adjacent federal land, the new protected area covers some 372,000 acres, and forms a habitat linkage between existing national parks in Chile and Argentina. Thus, the new Yendegaia National Park has helped establish one of the planet’s most significant trans-boundary protected areas, or “peace parks”. With outstanding photography and essays contributed by experts on regional ecology, Patagonia history, and the new park’s birth story, Yendegaia National Park is a landmark volume about an iconic landscape.

Discover the famous Amsterdam canals through the eyes of Ecuadorian photographer Cris Yoala Olivares. He highlighted the characteristic places of this city from different angles. The beautiful, historical houses, everyday life and the many tourists are captured through the lens of this top photographer from the air, the ground and the water. The result is a luxurious photography book. Amsterdam-based photographer Cris Toala Olivares (1982) travels around the world, chasing his own stories and the world news. As a teenager he moved from Ecuador to the Netherlands. With a photo of the tear gas attack by Israeli on Palestinean olive farmers, he won the ‘Zilveren Camera’ (silver camera) in 2009. Nowadays he works for international media such as Reuters, National Geographic and der Spiegel.

Organised around the major quarters (the banks of the Seine, Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Luxembourg, the Latin Quarter; AusterlitzTolbiac, “Chinatown”; Orsay, les Invalides; Montparnasse, Denfert-Rochereau; the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars, Trocadéro; l'Etoile, the Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde; Madeleine, the Opera; Pigalle, Montmartre; canal Saint-Martin, Belleville, Ménilmontant, Oberkampf, Père Lachaise; Bastille, the Marais, les Halles; the Louvre, Palais-Royal, les Tuileries; la Défense), this bilingual edition paints an intimate and unique portrait of Paris, the city of lights.

28 GARDENS & PLANTS

Women Garden Designers presents 27 of the most important and influential women garden designers, showing both their finest commissions as well as the gardens they designed for themselves, in their own space. The carefully researched text examines their influences and their legacy to garden design. Beginning with the remarkable Gertrude Jekyll and Beatrix Farrand, the book then moves on into the 20th century, featuring international designers as diverse as Florence Yoch and Vita Sackville-West. The modern movement includes Monica Gora and Topher Delaney. The more conventional structured approach is represented by Penelope Hobhouse and Rosemary Verey. Haruko Seki from Japan and Isabel du Prat from Brazil express their own special cultural qualities in their trans-global practices.

This book presents twelve French gardens designed by Louis Benech, from the Jardin du Soleil et des Nuages at the Château de Villandry to Square Nicolas Forestier in inner-city Paris, via an estate in the Sologne, a Normandy manor house, a Breton flower garden, an exotic oasis in central Paris, a project in the footsteps of Russell Page in Burgundy, and the gardens of the Château de Pange, officially recognised by the French Ministry of Culture as a ‘jardin remarquable’. In their wide diversity, these twelve gardens reflect the many facets of a remarkable talent that has earned Louis Benech worldwide recognition.

Exploration of the New World offered far reaching possibilities for the acquisition of new plants and for trees, but the impact that the introduction of plants from the New World had, and still has, on the English garden is frequently forgotten. Gardens and landscapes were transformed by an influx of American roots and through the past three centuries gardens have displayed important links with the USA. The ancestral homes of George Washington, the residence of the American Ambassador in London, the American Museum in Britain and Bletchley Park are of cultural and political importance. Many Dollar Princesses - American heiresses - took an active part in the aristocratic role of garden creation and ex-patriots too, continue to leave a legacy of beautiful gardens. Finally, the book includes memorial gardens of honoured Americans: Princess Pocahontas; Mohamet Weyonoman; John F. Kennedy; the Magna Carta Memorial built by the American Bar Association, and at Cambridge, the American Military Cemetery, dedicated to the American Armed Services.


Grasses in the Garden Design Ideas, Plant Portraits and Care Katharina Adams & Petra Pelz Grasses are filigree plants of particular beauty, with a great richness of colours, shapes and textures. Including more than 180 stunning colour photographs, Grasses in the Garden: Design Ideas, Plant Portraits and Care celebrates the versatility of ornamental grasses year-round. It illustrates how to plant grasses for both subtle and explosive colour effects. A section on garden design with grasses offers advice on lines and accents as well as the practicalities of different habitats and light and shade requirements. Grasses can make wonderful accompaniments for planting alongside roses, trees and shrubs, and also look very striking as container plants - detailed advice is given for choosing the right grass for each situation. A highly informative section on the care of grasses - from purchasing the right plants, through to propagation - offers the gardener practical support. This book gives you everything you need to use these fascinating plants to maximum effect.

ISBN: 9781870673853 Garden Art Press 280 x 250mm. 160pp. 186 col., 10 b.&w. February 2015, £25.00 Hardback

Katharina Adams has been writing books and articles on gardening and plants for 8 years, both for the public and the trade press. She is a member of several plant societies and vice-chair of the Society of Perennials. Petra Pelz is a landscape architect. As planner for municipal horticultural shows, her speciality is the interplay of grasses and perennials. Her experimental and creative approach with natural and manmade materials, with light and colour makes for strong planting and an unmistakable ambience.

Water Lilies And the Genius of Joseph Bory LatourMarliac Caroline Holmes Water lilies are inextricably linked to the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, Egypt and the Far East, where they were highly valued, just as precious metals or gemstones, their properties were thought to be medicinal, spiritual and purely aesthetic; they have been represented in architecture, printed textiles, religious paintings and illustrations, cited in mythology, folklore, mysticism and the creative imagination. This volume meticulously records our enduring love affair with the most beautiful and exotic of plants, the water lily. It is a comprehensive and detailed account of their introduction into European culture, largely through the passion and devotion of one man, Joseph Bory Latour-Marliac (1830-1911), whose lifelong work in the field of propagation, cultivation and commercialisation of water lilies inspired a generation of horticulturists, artists and poets to create the words and images that are deeply embedded in our culture today.

Claude Monet, for example, used lilies from Latour-Marliac’s nursery to create his garden in Giverny. The work Latour-Marliac did gave rise to development of specialist lily nurseries and growers across Europe and North America; in fact, Latour-Marliac’s nursery still exists today, owned by Robert Sheldon, an American who shared LatourMarliac’s passion for water lilies and water gardening and has been the force behind the nursery's continued success today.

The origins of Shrub Roses are in crosses between Species Roses and Modern Bush Roses. As a result, the majority are quite large, and can be relied upon to repeat flower, bringing colour to the garden when most other shrubs have faded. This volume features the most beautiful of the Rugosa Roses, Hybrid Musks, Modern Shrub Roses, Ground Cover Roses, Hybrid Teas and Floribundas. The book also includes advice about cultivation, pruning, diseases and pests. David Austin is uniquely equipped to write books on roses. As a commercial rose grower, he is in continual contact with gardeners and as a hybridiser he is in touch with agents who sell and propagate his English Roses worldwide - from Japan, Australia and New Zealand to the USA and Canada. His garden contains one of the finest collections of roses in the world, containing more than 800 varieties. He was awarded the Victoria Medal of Honour by the Royal Horticultural Society in 2003 and the Dean Hole Medal by the Royal National Rose Society.

Like its highly-respected companion in the series, Old Roses, this title draws the most useful information from David Austin’s The Rose and focuses on English Roses, bred by David Austin to combine the sumptuousness of Old Roses with the strength and practical virtues of Modern Roses. It will be greatly prized by rose-growers and roselovers everywhere, whether professional or amateur, and includes new colour photography. “Fully illustrated, the charm of his English Roses comes across on every page, even if the reader has to imagine their scent.” The Irish Garden “Experts will appreciate the notes on each rose’s breeding.” Historic Gardens Foundation

Quality, originality and daring - these three words sum up what ‘Belgian’ stands for overseas when we’re talking about interior design. There are no stark or beige homes here, no minimalism. Here is an array of colours, rich fabrics, unusual yet always successful combinations of styles and periods; there is even a good dose of kitsch to be found - such as stuffed animals. Interiors included come from the likes of Geoffroy Van Hulle, Lionel Jadot, Gerald Watelet and Jean-Philippe Demeyer. The texts are concise, personal and informative, based on interviews with the people living in these homes.

The account of a unique journey through the fascinating North during which Jessy Van Durme and Piet Goethals combined their interests and strengths. Along the way they visited 18 contemporary designers (of furniture and everyday objects) who they selected based on the quality of their work and their vision - designers who deserve to step out of the shadows. Jessy and Piet visited workshops, houses and apartments and made personal portraits of the designers behind the product - their personalities, their sources of inspiration, their vision for design and heritage... Through illuminating photographs and enlightening text, Scandinavian Designers at Work perfectly captures the atmosphere of the interiors, products, people and landscapes.

In Think Vintage Piet Swimberghe and Jan Verlinde guide you through some of the most beautiful vintage interiors. ‘Vintage’ is perceived in a different way by different people, creating unique and diverse ideas and concepts. With photos of never before published interiors, art collectors, designers, architects and antique dealers open their homes to present interiors that combine the old and the new. Rediscover the designs from the past and get inspired by the stories of how these interiors have been composed. Art historian Piet Swimberghe and photographer Jan Verlinde work for numerous magazines such as Elle Living, Coté Ouest, MTC and Weekend Knack. They have produced books on architecture, design and interiors and written many articles for European interior magazines.

As our life styles are changing, we become more globally connected, the expectations we have for the destinations in which we stay will continually evolve. Successful hotels are the ones that surpass guests’ expectations and create unforgettable experiences that are at once familiar and inspiring. The books collect some unique projects which represent a palette of how architects and designers have created new destinations for the modern business travellers, and charts the modern evolution of traditional hotel design.

This captivating book, the second in a series christened A 21st Century Palace, offers readers a transporting virtual tour through one exceptionally dazzling palace. In this volume, we find ourselves in Jerusalem. Few places on Earth have exuded more mystery and power than this deified ancient city. And even fewer designers possess the worldliness and talent to bring that mystery and power into the third dimension in ways that both consider its many millennia of astonishing history and also telegraph a modernity as thoroughly fresh and modern as the current moment. In his Foreword to this book, the Honorable John L. Loeb, former American Ambassador to Denmark, declares “Bradfield’s rare talent has propelled him into the upper echelon of design and places him amongst the few designers working in the world today who are truly global”.

An exacting quest for boutique-hotels, farmhouses and period homes with an intimate, hidden dimension that ensures the utmost privacy; a selection of places chosen with a collector’s discrimination. This book is a journey to track down that side of Puglia that is nurtured by those who have sought and achieved excellence, purposefully choosing and offering the very best, and sharing it with their guests, each following their own particular course of different colours, scents and flavours.

To contemplate Jean Daniel Lorieux’s work is to contemplate an entire era, which this emblematic photographer made sure to capture on film. As a glamour photographer, but first and foremost, an artist, he collaborated with American Vogue, d’Officiel, and other great fashion magazines, as well as designers such as Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin, and Yves Saint Laurent. That being said, the focus of his camera was thus set on great men, like Nelson Mandela or fashion icons such as Brook Shields, Claudia Schiffer or Sharon Stone, and even celebrities such as James Brown, Mick Jagger, Glenn Ford or David Lynch.

Jean-François Jonvelle was born in the Provençal town of Cavaillon. He found his inspirations here and there, in the paintings of Balthus, Bacon and Schiele; but it was in the cinema that he found his true education, in the films of Mankiewicz, Lubitsch, Fritz Lang, Orson Welles, Arthur Penn, Vincente Minnelli, Hitchcock, Marcel l’Herbier, Tourneur and Truffaut, and more recently in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. His favourite film of all was François Truffaut’s Jules et Jim. At the age of 20, Jonvelle became assistant to the American photographer Richard Avedon. Then he turned freelance, always working around women, admitting freely that his only subject was the women he loved. In the 1980s he rose to prominence as the photographer for a publicity campaign that changed the face of French advertising.

Rose Hartman is a legend. An omnipresent force on the New York City social scene, Rose stands as one of the most prolific photographers of our age. Her groundbreaking photography straddles the boundaries between street photography, portraiture and documentary photography. The images included in this book are prime selections of couples - artists and muses; designers and muses; family; mothers and children; pets; friendships; models and friends; lovers; marriages - photographed by Rose over the years, and yet they are far more than pictures of two people. Couples featured include: Jerry Hall and Annie Leibovitz, Bob Mackie and Cher, Claudia Schiffer and Valentino, Jean Paul Gautier and Lauren Bacall, Donatella Versace and Naomi Campbell, Peter and Jane Fonda, Bianca and Jade Jagger, Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono, Liz Taylor and her dog, Andy Warhol and Lou Reed, Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, Robert Wolders and Audrey Hepburn, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.

Raymond Cauchetier’s New Wave

The 1960s were a time of cultural revolution, with music leading the way. With men (mainly) leading the way on stage, the girls backstage started to create their own form of liberation too. These young girls were better known as the Groupies. On February 15, 1969, Rolling Stone magazine issued a “Special Super-Duper Neat Issue” called “THE GROUPIES and Other Girls,” featuring the work of their chief photographer Baron Wolman. This issue would become iconic, a milestone issue, making the girls instant celebrities. With this one single issue, the Groupies arrived. Now - nearly 45 years later, ACC/Iconic Images are proud to publish - for the first time - in one single volume: Groupies: The Rolling Stone Photographs. With more than 150 photographs, including never-before-seen outtakes and contact sheets, Groupies documents these women as they were in the late 1960s.

Raymond Cauchetier, Foreword by Philippe Garner, Edited by James Hyman

In the late 1950s and early 1960s French New Wave cinema exploded onto international screens. Today these films are credited with changing cinema forever. In the photographs of Raymond Cauchetier we bear witness to the great artistic genius that was central to the process of making these films.

But Cauchetier’s genius lies also in the fact that his photographs are far above just a visual record of these films. They clearly show the same spirit, the same freedom and the same originality that made The New Wave so important. Cauchetier’s photographs are as much a part of The New Wave as the films themselves. In the words of Richard Brody: “In these images, Raymond Cauchetier, a witness to art, made art by bearing true witness”. This is the first book published in English featuring the New Wave film photographs of Raymond Cauchetier.

Photographer and respected Art Director Lloyd Ziff has been fascinated with Cadillacs since the 1950s. Ziff has captured this classic American icon through the decades, body styles and conditions.

This exciting collection of photography by award winning photographer Ted Soqui documents the white heat and intensity of professional drag racing. The Famoso drag strip, Bakersfield, is one of the few major track venues that host the full ¼ mile and features the cars from the golden age (the fastest cars can turn speeds of over 250 mph and cover the ¼ mile in 5½ seconds). The March Meet is considered to be one of the last great independent events in drag racing, often out drawing modern professional drag racing venues. The track also features a “cacklefest” held once a year at night, nostalgia cars are lined up on the track and fired-up revving their engines with fire shooting from the exhaust pipes. The sound can be deafening with over 100 nitro vehicles pushing their throttles.

Top tattoo photographer Markus Cuff returns to KMW Studio for his next volume of tattoo imagery. Showcased here is the ever-present image in the tattoo art world - the Dragon. The dragons captured in this engaging volume were created by the world’s top Inkers. Markus Cuff has spent over 16 years documenting the burgeoning tattoo phenomenon. Cuff is perhaps the most highly respected and visible photographer in the tattoo world, regularly contributing to Tattoo Magazine, Tattoo Flash, and producer of many magazine specials. He was the single largest contributor to the Rolling Stone book Tattoo Nation. Also available from Markus Cuff: Torso ISBN: 9780989885614

Created before the advent of the automobile, New York was designed for pedestrians. Broadway, for example, was an old Indian trail stretching and meandering throughout the length of Manhattan. To truly experience the city you must walk as Ronnie Farley has done for the making of this intimate and surprising volume of life photography. Ronnie Farley’s photographs have been published in Rolling Stone, and USA Today, amongst many other publications. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US and is in the permanent collections of the Museum of the City of New York, The Museum of the American Indian in New York City, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, The Nicolaysen Museum in Casper, Wyoming, and The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth Texas.

Thunder rolled across the prairie - and then there was silence... It was probably more than 30 million American bison roaming the plains of the Midwest. Nothing was more powerful in the prairie, neither physically nor spiritually. With the arrival of the European settlers massive slaughter began. The (hi)story of the bison is a parable about globalisation and the interplay of technological progress, capitalism, and a lack of understanding of ecological contexts. The prairie vanished with the bison. Now the bison returns. And this is not nostalgia. The bison is a real existing and socio-cultural phenomenon. It is a current political issue in the dispute between cattle breeders and the bison lobby. The photographers travelled through the centre of the bison country, from North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, to Montana. The magical black-and-white photographs of the bison translate the vision into reality. Buffalo Ballad is an homage to the American soul.

Detroit Is An Essay in Photographs Author: J. Gordon Rodwan Text: John G. Rodwan, Jr., Editors: Kiersten Armstrong and Mike Warlow ISBN: 9780989885683 KMW Studio 203 x 152mm. 104pp. 34 col., 46 b.&w. March 2015, £19.95 Hardback

J. Gordon Rodwan’s photographs show sides of the city that many people - residents and non residents alike - often miss rather than reproducing images already widely seen. They don’t ignore the dilapidated parts of the city, but they don’t fetishise those elements either. Instead, Rodwan juxtaposes them with images capturing efforts to cultivate and sustain creativity and vibrancy in place where too many expect to see only relics or despair. Neither ‘ruin porn’ nor an equally distorted boosterish presentation of only the positive, Detroit Is offers a highly individual look at what it’s like to live in Detroit. Complementing the photographs are an introductory essay and poems by the photographer’s son, John G. Rodwan, Jr.

Ann-Christine Woehrl visited survivors of fire and acid attacks in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Uganda. In her photographic portraits she does not present them as tragic victims, but as the personalities they have always been and still are despite their unimaginable suffering. The result is an insightful ‘almost private’ album that challenges and most of all inspires; an homage to women that master their unique lives with humility and heroic strength. By choosing a neutral background for the portraits in the first part of the book, the photographer left out any reference to the social environment of these women. The photographic work is framed by an essay and interviews with six women, one from each of the six countries. The 25th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a good reason to put the topic emphatically into the public focus. UNICEF Germany and GEO - with the support of the world’s best photographers and Edition Lammerhuber - do exactly that in this joint probono project. In 40 photographic reports from 15 years, a selection of striking pictures from the UNICEF Photo of the Year competition forms an appeal to respect the rights of the child and to guarantee every girl and boy a childhood in dignity. The volume is edited by Jürgen Heraeus, the Chairman of the German Committee of UNICEF, and Peter-Matthias Gaede, Editor-inChief of GEO. We the Children draws attention to the suffering and hardships, but also to the wishes and dreams of today’s children; it is a book full of hope for a child-oriented world.

Reg Grundy is one of the key figures in the history of television, known in his native Australia and around the world. Fewer are familiar with Grundy’s photographic talents, which were first recognised and emboldened by his friend, legendary celebrity photographer, Douglas Kirkland. Culled from more than four decades of archived photographs, Mother and Child is a breathtaking collection of photographs on the most universal of topics, the enduring bond between mothers and their children, shared by all living beings. These evocative photographs show maternal relationships across boundaries of nation and species. Portraits of mothers as they feed, teach, and play with their young serve as a reminder that all species live rich emotional and social lives, sharing so much with their human counterparts.

The divided Berlin in the 1970s, a cityscape full of war ruins and contrasts. The whole of Europe is divided into political blocs - that are now slowly starting to move. Siebrand Rehberg’s photographs are powerful documents of a time of social and political transformations: Willy Brandt and Erich Honecker, bearers of political hope in West and East. The glamour of the ‘Window display of the West’, the Kurfürstendamm. The tristesse of life in Kreuzberg. The military stiffness of the jubilation parade for the 25th anniversary of the GDR. The X Youth and Students World Games, which went down in history as ‘red Woodstock’.

In Beauty Unadorned Maarten Schets tells both a universal and personal story in stunning photographs. For Schets, all subjects and aspects of his work are at the same level: the artist’s life, still lifes, fashion photography. Every spread intrigues: his pictures are never superficial or bold but show a distinct love for life. This book contains an overview of Schets’ work of the past 30 years. Many of the photos have never been published before.

Angelo Turconi, traveller and photographer in Africa, shares his remarkable images of everyday life in Congo. Congo on the Road is the result of many journeys in this multifaceted country and documents his encounters along the road: the Yaka chief in ceremonial dress, the chief of the Pende and Chokwe in prestigious attire, the Emperor of the Lunda on his throne, a family photo of the Kitawala sect. Turconi’s photographs testify to a deep respect for the ones captured by the lens. We experience daily life as it is, with its deprivation and many struggles, nonetheless Angelo Turconi highlights the courage and joy of people and their endless ingenuity and creativity. The beautiful and diverse scenery is as evocative as poetry.

Over the course of a career that lasted more than fifty years, Andrew Geller - architect, artist, and designer - quietly produced a large and culturally significant body of work, leaving an invaluable mark in his field. He is undoubtedly most wellknown, though, for his architecture, and his stunning modernist beach houses which, not unlike Andrew Geller himself, were innovative and unconventional. In Andrew Geller: Deconstructed, Jake Gorst celebrates the life and work of his grandfather, bringing together twodecades worth of interviews, as well as many artifacts and treasures from Geller’s vast personal collection of drawings and photographs. Gorst’s intent in writing this volume - to share this wealth of information and provide an intimate glimpse into the inner workings of an artist - is here fully actualised.

In Michael Clinton’s earlier books he has shown us the world in context, in long shots that describe people, places and things/architecture and design objects. In Closer he looks at the world through a telescopic lens, honing in on specifics to people, their cultures and their environments.

The volume, realised in close collaboration with the Sella Foundation, gathers the photos taken by legendary Vittorio Sella at the turn of the last century while on expeditions to the world’s highest mountaintops. In the words of Ansel Adams, “Sella’s strikingly elegant photographs revealed [the mountains] in all their sheer majesty.” Even today climbers still use Sella’s photographs to map out routes and to gain a fuller appreciation of the challenges that lie ahead. In addition to documenting important scientific expeditions, the photos have a considerable artistic value, recognised internationally; they are exhibited in the world’s leading museums.

Kitty Kino is a film director and photographer from Vienna. In this book she goes on a journey of discovery in a place where everything already seems familiar. Kitty Kino portrays her Vienna on night-time wanderings. Kitty Kino’s distinctive approach, her colour and image composition that borders on the abstract, together with her playfully applied ‘pixilism’, using a mobile phone as her camera, bring out qualities somewhere between photography and painting. 112 large-format images present the architecture and landmarks of the city suggestively, as a burst of colour and a sea of light, express a mood, an emotion. Photographic brush strokes. Plus lucis Vienna.

During World War II, Adolf Hitler gave the order for a line of defence to be constructed along the coasts of the western front. Ranging from the French-Spanish border to the north of Norway, this Atlantic Wall is a series of bunkers, barricades and coastal batteries. Over the past year, Stephan Vanfleteren photographed this 2,600 km ‘wall’. He planted his tripod on various beaches in Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands, climbed cliff faces in France, sailed between the fjords of Norway and stood in the surf in Denmark to photograph the largest military structure of the previous century. Vanfleteren shows the untamed architectural beauty of these concrete structures and shows the power of nature as it slowly reclaims these structures that were once considered impenetrable. Carl De Keyzer invited ten top international photographers - colleagues of his at the celebrated Magnum agency - to shoot a series on how the First World War continues to reverberate in their countries. He chose nations that were directly involved in the conflict: Germany, Britain, Russia, Austria, Italy, Belgium, the United States, Australia, the Balkan countries and France. Photographers featured: Mark Power (UK); Alex Majoli (Italy); ChienChi Chang (Austria); Gueorgui Pinkhassov (Russia); Thomas Dworzak (Germany); Carl De Keyzer (Belgium); Nikos Economopoulos (Greece); Alec Soth (USA); Trent Parke (Australia); Antoine D'Agata (France).

Here is a distinctly unique look at the woman who transformed twentieth century fashion. No stranger to photographing some of the world's most beloved icons, including Man Ray, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland, among countless others, Douglas Kirkland fixed his lens on Chanel for twenty-one days in 1962. Sent to Paris on assignment for Look magazine, Kirkland ended up living with Chanel for three weeks, catching both the public and the intimate moments of Chanel’s daily life. Not just a record of Kirkland’s impressions of “Mademoiselle”, this book also features a compelling foreword by literary giant Judith Thurman, who poignantly contextualises the relationship between Kirkland and Chanel, making this book every bit as incomparable as Mademoiselle herself.

In this large format book, internationally renowned photographer Henk van Cauwenbergh takes us on a tour of the most famous and fabulous brasseries of Paris. No haphazard selection, but the favourite addresses of Charles Aznavour (singer, actor and writer), Irène Silvagni (editor of Vogue Paris), Omar Sy (actor), Chico Bouchikhi (founder of the Gipsy Kings)... all of whom have lent their cooperation to this unique project. They take you to cherished places: Brasserie Lipp, Café Costes, La Closerie des Lilas, L’Avenue, Au Pied de Cochon, Le Bouillon des Colonies La Société, Café des Deux Magots and many others… And of course they also make their appearance in the photo selection. Every brasserie is extensively documented, with special attention to their authenticity and the details that characterise the atmosphere of the space. This prestigious edition is introduced by the photographer’s good friend Charles Aznavour.

The very first photographs of Japan were fascinating to the Western world, causing a wave of enthusiasm in the 1870s and 1880s, which then found expression in art, culture and society. One of the first Europeans in the middle of the nineteenth century to travel the externally isolated country was the renowned photographer and war correspondent Felice Beato. The photographs he created from the 1860s are now published for the first time and are complemented by works of other photographers. And thus a unique picture of the native Japanese culture is portrayed, showing the Japanese feudal state in one-off portraits, landscapes and architectural photographs prior to the transition from the Edo to the Meiji period (1868). The impressive collection of these earliest pictures trace back to the Swiss diplomat Aimé Humbert (1819 - 1900), who travelled Japan in 1863/64 and negotiated the first amity and commerce treaty between the two states.

Tomorrowland is a large electronic music festival held in Belgium; the last performance hosted 360,000 international guests. Thanks to its enormous success they are also organising TomorrowWorld in the United States (Chattahoochee Hills, Atlanta second festival September 2014) and Tomorrowland Brazil (Sao Paulo - first festival May 2015). Tomorrowland is hot and happening. Even in the most remote corners of the world the festival is known for its unique music scene. Experience the pumping beats, the mythical atmosphere, the fairylike magic and get to know the energetic people with their amazing stories from all over the world who turn this festival into a roaring success. The book’s mission is to document the legends of the Memphis soul music business. Photographer Thom Gilbert set up a photo studio at Royal Studios in Memphis, home of the famed Hi Records that launched the careers of Al Green, Ann Peebles, and dozens of others. Gilbert has captured images of what seems like every living person related to Memphis soul music. From Rev. Jesse Jackson, to Sam Moore of the indelible soul duo Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, Steve Cropper, B.B. King, Bobby Rush, and many others, including the lesser known but equally vital session players, writers, engineers, publicists who contributed to what is now world renowned as The Memphis Sound. Ron Carter is among the most original, prolific, and influential bassists in jazz. With more than 2,000 albums to his credit, he has recorded with many of music’s greats. At six feet, four inches, the bassist towers over the bandstand, no longer relegated to the back, in the shadows behind the frontline players. And in an historical shift of jazz bass playing, he’s no longer just a timekeeper, a rhythm man, but an architect of the highest order. The finest walker in the history of jazz. The risk-taker with an elegant streak. The anchor of Miles Davis’s classic ‘60s quintet. The most recorded jazz bassist of all time. That’s Ron Carter, jazz legend, and Finding the Right Notes is his story. The story of Jean Sablon’s life and career encapsulates some of the major changes in twentieth-century society, transformations that reshaped the art of the chanson while also opening up hitherto undreamedof possibilities for entertaining an ever-wider public. This evocatively illustrated book sets out to restore the art of French chanson - which has suffered from the vagaries of fashion more than perhaps any other art - to the place of central importance that it held in the daily lives of earlier generations. It takes the reader back to an age before the triumph of Englishspeaking variety, when the French chanson, with all its unique vitality, variety and charm, seduced the whole world. New York lived in fear. In the early 1980s, a mysterious infectious disease began to kill gays, their partners, and children, as well as injected drug users and blood transfusion patients. Then unnamed, with research funding and support for the dying unavailable, the HIV/AIDS virus would eventually take nearly one hundred million lives. In forceful narrative and vivid images, AIDS in New York: The First Five Years, based on the acclaimed 2013 exhibition at the New-York Historical Society, recaptures the first five years of the epidemic, culminating in the widespread public awareness of its dangers following the death of movie star Rock Hudson in 1985. It reminds readers that epidemics make social and ethical demands, test the values of a society, and kill through taboos as well as disease.

Walter van Beirendonck has been at the forefront of fashion for more than thirty years. One of the ‘Antwerp Six’ and the director of fashion at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, he is known for the uninhibited nature of his work and the wonderful daring that he shows as a designer. This is the third and final edition of Dream the World Awake by Walter Van Beirendonck; it is a numbered edition of 900 copies. It has a luxury finishing with an extra changeable golden foil cover by Dirk Van Saene, one of the famous Antwerp Six. The book gives exciting and captivating form to the complexity and multilayered quality of Van Beirendonck’s work, and reveals his wide range of inspirations, which include technology, art, pop culture and ethnography. A tie reveals a lot about its wearer, his social position, his aesthetic tastes or political stance. From the early 17th until the beginning of the 20th century, a diverse combination of fabrics, colours and knots adorned the male - and occasionally also the female - neck. Today, the tie is back in fashion and as an accessory newly interpreted, traditions are questioned, and so is the appropriate context for wearing a tie. This new book draws on the vast collection and archives held at the Swiss National Museum in Zürich. Coinciding with a major exhibition at the museum, The Tie features a wealth of images documenting the history and ever changing aesthetics of the neck tie, but also of designers’ and manufacturers’ sample collections, art works, and a photographic essay by Swiss photographer Walter Pfeiffer. In L’amateur Murielle Victorine Scherre, the visinary behind lingerie brand La Fille d’O, illustrates a world that balances sexual self respect and an object of lust, naughtiness, fantasy and reality. She shows us an erotic world, where mind and body each find their own way. This book provokes questions about the beauty and appeal of the human body and of eroticism. Murielle Victorine Scherre poses questions to herself and others and tries to find the causes defining attractiveness. The result is a visionary scrapbook. Murielle Victorine Scherre knows all about eroticism. She has had her own lingerie brand, La Fille d’O for over 10 years. With her designs she tries to capture the human body.

Rayne Shoes Michael Pick, Foreword by Bruce Oldfield Rayne is the name synonymous with the best in British 20th-century shoe design. Re-launched as a British-owned company in 2013, the remarkable design achievements of the company in the 20th-century are illustrated in this sumptuous book. The business began in the late 19th-century as a theatrical costumier and soon added shoes to its products, with a factory in Bermondsey near the current Fashion & Textile Museum. Early clients included the Ballet Russes and Nijinsky. By the 1920s, members of the British Royal family and aristocracy were clients and a shop was opened on Bond Street with a new factory based at King’s Cross. By 1950, the company had three royal warrants, had supplied shoes for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II) in 1947, and had a strong American presence with Delman Shoes at Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, amongst other locations.

52 DESIGN

From the white plastic bed for the Prisunic catalogue (1966) to the Culbuto armchair issued by Knoll, the furniture and objects conceived by Marc Held have been emblematic of the renewal of French design, following the line of Scandinavians such as Alvar Aalto and Arne Jacobsen… This book traces 50 years of design, whose success with the public at large has contributed to a great liberation in our style of life. The generosity of his vision has remained faithful to the humanist values that guided his childhood in Bagnolet, where he was born in 1932. Having settled in Greece, on the island of Skopelos, over twenty years ago, Marc Held still continues to build houses and furnish them with his creations, working closely with Greek craftsmen. Mathieu Matégot was a leading French designer of the 1950s. This artist of Hungarian origin was highly productive over a period of some 20 years, experimenting with materials, form and colour both in his furniture designs and in the art of tapestry-making, which he practiced into the 1980s. He invented his own artistic language, whose key elements were rigitulle, a type of perforated sheet metal, which he patented and which, by means of a system of folds, enabled him to shape his perforated metal in space, as well as férotin, a balanced blending of metal and rattan. This book provides a detailed overview of his entire career, thanks to a number of documents from the period, especially those made available in his family archives.

Few, nowadays, could name either the artists or the copywriters behind the many iconic advertising campaigns in Britain in the inter-war years. Even fewer could name the entrepreneurs who made such achievements possible. William ‘Bill’ Crawford was one such, who built up one of the leading agencies of the time. He was one of the first to establish overseas offices, commissioned one of the earliest ‘modernist’ buildings in London, championed the key role of women in his industry, and was one of the most progressive when it came to art and design. Working alongside legendary art director Ashley Havinden, Crawford and his agency exerted enormous influence on British advertising during the first half of the 20th century. Ettore Sottsass Jr. - architect, designer, writer and artist - is a figure of international standing who needs no introduction. His career has been broadly documented and “Sottsass the man” was recounted in first person in the autobiography published in 2010. This photographic book sets out to talk about Sottsass by presenting a selection of photographs taken over almost 30 years by the designer’s friend Giuseppe Varchetta, a psychologist with a passion for photography. Varchetta’s portraits and the brief comments that accompany them connect the public figure and the private individual in a sort of emotional biography in images, a journey in stages from 1978 to the closing moments of Sottsass’ life. The book also features a text by Marco Belpoliti that introduces the images and the figure, the long interview Ettore Sottsass gave to Hans-Ulrich Obrist in February 2001 and a farewell message by Sottsass’ friend Michele De Lucchi.


Eyre de Lanux An American Decorator in Paris Willy Huybrechts, Louis-Géraud Castor Born into the American aristocracy, Elizabeth Eyre de Lanux abandoned high society to pursue an artistic career. Starting her training with Constantin Brancusi, she then arrived in Paris in 1919, following her marriage to French diplomat and writer Pierre de Lanux. She soon met the designer Eileen Gray. Eyre took over Gray’s research on lacquer and continued experimenting with innovative materials not previously used in furniture, namely cork, amber and linoleum. With Evelyn Wyld, she created a literary universe in which the poetry of her rugs, blended with furniture and lamps in totally new ways, all in an environment of muted shades and modern comfort. An ambitious artist in the Surrealist Paris of the interwar years, she wanted to believe in a peaceful future. But the crash of 1929 and World War II sounded the death knell for the career of this fresh new talent, ensuring that her creations became the rarest of objects. A bridge between the pioneering Eileen Gray and the rational Charlotte Perriand, like them, Eyre de Lanux drew inspiration from Japonism. Neither poor, nor stripped bare, her rare architectured interiors have remained secret until now. Elizabeth Eyre de Lanux is a recognised name but a forgotten talent. With Eileen Gray, Eyre de Lanux, Charlotte Perriand and Maria Pergay, the four cardinal points have now been identified. ISBN: 9782915542646 Editions Norma 305 x 230mm. 220pp. 90 col., 100 b.&w.

Charlotte Perriand Complete Works. Volume 2: 1940-1955 Jacques Barsac Charlotte Perriand (1903-99) is undoubtedly one of the most significant figures in 20th-century interior design. She was one of the pioneers in introducing the metal tube as building material for furniture, paving the way for “machine age” aesthetic in interiors in the 1920s and 1930s. Together with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret she created a number of iconic classics, such as the chaise-longue LC4, the armchair LC2, or the sling chair LC1. This second part of the new three-volume monograph on Perriand covers the period 1940-55 with her extensive stays in Japan 1942-42 and 1953-55, and with her designs for the reconstruction in France after WW II. It also investigates extensively her collaboration with Jean Prouvé 1952-55. Moreover, the new volume looks at her work together with Jeanneret and again also Le Corbusier during the 1950s, and it documents Perriand’s involvement and role in founding the Useful Forms movement in 1949. The book features again an abundance of images and documents, mostly in colour and many of them previously unpublished. Charlotte Perriand: Complete Works is the authoritative source on this key figure of 20th-century interior design for scholars, dealers, and collectors. Each of the three lavishly illustrated volumes is completed by annotations, index, and bibliography. ISBN: 9783858817471 Scheidegger & Spiess 305 x 230mm. 512pp. 700 col., 300 b.&w.

A J-Class yacht is a single-masted racing sailboat, built to the specifications of Nathanael Hereshoff ’s Universal Rule, the class is considered the peak racers of the era when the Universal Rule determined eligibility in the Amerca’s Cup. Nostalgia, fascination and a passion for sailing; the yachts featured in this book were built in the 1930s and have lost none of their magic. In this opulent book Franco Pace gathers together seven of the still-active yachts. The text is written by journalist and well-known expert Wiel Verlinden, who sailed on six of the seven yachts, and presents historical facts about the single classes, going on to discuss future developments. All of the yachts included are illustrated with unique and spectacular pictures.

Stunning photographs of the long, sweeping roads of Iceland. The images are magical, capturing the personality of the country and illustrating a landscape of extremes. Stefan Bogner is not only a writer and photographer, but also an alpinist, globetrotter and motorsport maniac. In his pictures, sometimes captured from a helicopter, you can feel his passion for, and understanding of, the rhythm of the road and the aesthetic of the asphalt.

Marianne, Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn seized photographic moments and let her camera talk, with a perfect knowledge of the right composition. The result: over-sized racing photographs from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, building both a report and contemporary document at the same time. After an exciting interview with the Princess about photography, the book showcases previously unseen insights from the greatest racetracks in the world - from Nürburgring to Spa, from Monza to the Mille Miglia - as well as the famous people that populate them. This opulent coffee table book ends with a very personal view of the Princess from her son Prince Peter Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn.

This elegant book takes a thorough look at Klimt’s relationship with his family and his sentimental attachments, examining the start of his career at Vienna’s School of Applied Arts as well as his love of theatre and music. The book also includes works by his brothers Ernst and Georg, Klimt’s youthful portraits of his own family members, as well as original photographs from the artist’s bequest. The entire season of the Künstler-Compagnie is covered, up to the death of Ernst Klimt in 1891. Three of his finest portraits of women Lady by the Fireplace and the two Portraits of a Lady which Klimt painted between 1894 and 1898, provide an in-depth understanding of his forays into the first genre and also illustrate the artist's special relationship with the female sex. Several recently-discovered love letters that Klimt addressed to Emilie Flöge furnish an intimate glimpse of the artist’s romantic attachments.

The sculptures, paintings and drawings executed between the 1920s and 1960s and sumptuously showcased here enable the reader to follow Giacometti’s artistic development, from his beginnings in Switzerland to his mature period, spent mostly at the studio in rue HippolyteMaindron, Paris. The book features absolute masterpieces like Boule suspendue, Femme qui marche, La cage, Quatre femmes sur socle, Buste d’Annette and the monumental Grande femme completed by a selection of drawings and sketches, archive images and personal and autograph photos, which will help to contextualise Giacometti’s artistic process from the Surrealist period to his last years.

Van Gogh: The Man and the Earth is the catalogue of the exhibition organised in collaboration with the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, the Netherlands. It includes the self-portrait of Vincent, and many works from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Museo SoumayaFundación Carlos Slim in Mexico City, the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, and private collections normally unavailable to the public. The focus of the book is the artistic understanding of the complex relationship between man and the nature that surrounds him. It also offers a series of oils and drawings that complete the full immersion into the rural cycle, as in the circle of human life: peasants, landscapes of the cold North and the sunny South, snapshots of life, still lifes, vases of flowers. The book and exhibition were curated by Kathleen Adler, an expert on the Impressionist period who has curated exhibitions on some of the most important exponents of this artistic movement and authored significant monographs, worked on all of this to choose the pieces to be displayed.

Ilya Repin (1844-1930) is a key figure of Russian 19th-century realism; his career spanned a period of huge cultural, social and political change, bearing witness to the challenge to the Russian autocracy, the coming of the October Revolution and the dawn of the Soviet Union. From humble peasant beginnings Repin rose to a place of artistic pre-eminence and international acclaim and was the most important influence in shaping a distinctly Russian school of art. The Russian Vision: The Art of Ilya Repin presents the life and work of the most celebrated Russian painter of his generation. Having declined in the 20th century, Repin’s reputation is growing again. Combining close readings of all his major canvases, as well as many of his lesser-known works, within the broader context of Russian art, society and culture, written in an accessible style, this book will do much to help restore his stature.

This is the only western study of the renowned Russian landscape painter, Isaak Levitan (18601900). Levitan’s paintings commemorate the arrival of the Russian spring and celebrate the quiet beauty of her lakes and rivers, fields and forests, often pictured at twilight. In doing this he sought simple, well-loved motifs of the countryside, using an increasingly refined and laconic technique. His work was greatly admired by Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes, who recalled Levitan’s landscapes long after he had left Russia, and by Levitan’s lifelong friend, Anton Chekhov who spoke of its ‘astonishing simplicity and clarity’. Levitan’s later compositions have a mystical quality achieved by few other artists. The book includes over 80 colour images. It includes chapters about his portraits, still lifes, and cityscapes. It also discusses his working methods and assesses the influence of his output on later artists.

This eloquent examination of Innes’s most important paintings illuminates the artist’s philosophical and religious preoccupations. It provides an overview of his life and situates Inness within the contexts of key issues in American history, such as the Hudson River School, Transcendentalism, Swedenborgianism, and the work of William James. It explains for the first time how Inness treated landscape painting as a form of philosophical inquiry that could communicate his holistic belief in the unity of nature and spirit. Adrienne Baxter Bell, Ph.D., is the author of George Inness: Painting Philosophy and the editor of George Inness: Writings and Reflections on Art and Philosophy (Braziller, 2006). She served as Guest Curator for the exhibition George Inness and the Visionary Landscape (2003-04) and is an Associate Professor of Art History at Marymount Manhattan College, New York.


Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino Diverging Paths of Mannerism Edited by Carlo Falciani and Antonio Natali ISBN: 9788874612208 Mandragora 290 x 245mm. 372pp. 150 col. January 2015, £35.00 Paperback

In 1956, Palazzo Strozzi hosted the exhibition Pontormo and Early Florentine Mannerism, in which Pontormo’s work was displayed alongside that of Rosso Fiorentino, Beccafumi and other adepts of the new and unconventional trend in painting. Almost sixty years later, Palazzo Strozzi has decided to hold an exhibition devoted to only two of that movement’s leading lights, Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino. They were both born in 1494, at the close of a century which had seen the collapse of a political balance that has guaranteed the prosperity and security of Florence and of Italy as a whole, and at the start of a troubled era of religious and political unrest that was to lead to a definitive alteration of the political balances among states, and to the loss of the harmony and balance in art that had been such a feature of the transition from the 15th to the 16th century. In exploring the work of the two greatest Florentine exponents of what 20th-century critics christened Mannerism, the exhibition, and this accompanying volume, aims to track the chronological development of the movement.

In this study Rab Hatfield provides a thorough analysis of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa or Gioconda. The book begins with a consideration of the generally known sources and a careful look at the painting. There follow discussions of laboratory photographs and of a recently discovered annotation by Ser Agostino Vespucci in a book he owned of letters by Cicero, from which we learn that Leonardo left a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo unfinished no later than October 1503. The book concludes with a hitherto unknown letter written in 1515 by Filippo Strozzi to Lorenzo de’ Medici, describing some supposed advances made to Mon(n)a Lisa. The laboratory photographs and new sources make it clear that the Mona Lisa has probably been reworked twice, that it in fact depicts Mon(n)a Lisa del Giocondo.

This is the first published monograph devoted to the work of Jacques-Emile Blanche. When Rouen Museum mounted an exhibition of Blanche’s work in 1997 (the first since the Second World War), the catalogue sold out within weeks. This book will be eagerly awaited not only by the public who display such enthusiasm for his paintings, but also by private collectors and the many art galleries and museums that possess examples of his work. It will also demonstrate the degree to which Jacques-Emile Blanche should be considered alongside the likes of Helleu and Boldini among the ranks of the great artists of the Belle Epoque and the interwar years.

Chelsea Physic Garden was founded by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1673 as a resource providing plant material for the training of apothecaries. For most of its existence, the Garden has been a focus for botanists, taxonomists, students and horticulturists both for employing their skills and in training the next generation. These activities have been supported by the work of plant illustrators. It is the purpose of this book to display the work of talented late twentieth- and early twenty-first century botanical artists, members of Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society, whose explicit aim is to illustrate plants in cultivation in the Garden. In 1995 the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society was co-founded by Margaret King and Wendy Page. It is a group of artists, the first cohort of which had been studying for a Diploma in botanical illustration at the English Gardening School at Chelsea Physic Garden.

This major work, first published in 1950, is still considered the classic work on the subject. The book was revised and enlarged by ACC in the year 2000, and published to overwhelming acclaim; this is a reprint of that edition. It provides a comprehensive, critical and well illustrated survey of the portrayal of plants through more than three thousand years. Of the first edition, the poet and gardening writer, Vita Sackville-West, after referring in The Observer to the wealth of illustration and the fascination of the text, then said, “Let no one think this is a book only for the specialist. It is essential for the specialist, certainly, but it is also for all the flower-lovers and all those who enjoy the by-ways of biography and the added attraction of good writing”. Wilfrid Blunt brought to it a craftsman’s appreciation and knowledge gained from experience, the extensive literature and visits to many galleries on the Continent. William T. Stearn gave him much help on botanical, biographical and bibliographical matters and contributed part of the text.

The University of Glasgow’s library contains over 400,000 manuscripts and printed works, built up since the university’s foundation in 1451. The library’s outstanding collection of over a thousand printed books (‘incunabula’) from the fifteenth century has recently been catalogued in detail. This beautifully illustrated book accompanies an exhibition that highlights a small selection of these fascinating works. It charts the development of the early printed book in Europe, exploring the transition from manuscript to print and its impact on late medieval society. The invention of mechanical movable type printing revolutionised bookmaking in Europe and was instrumental in the emergence of the Renaissance and the spread of learning across the continent.

Salvador Dalí is widely regarded as one of the great artists of the 20th century. Rumour and alleged scandals followed him throughout his life, and continued long after his death in 1989. When German troops entered Bordeaux, Salvador and Gala escaped France to live in the US, where they remained until 1948. On September 2, 1941, in a bid to raise funds for artists fleeing the Nazis, as well as enhance his profile in the USA, Dalí orchestrated the Surrealist Ball at the Del Monte Lodge, Pebble Beach, California. The evening, attended by guests such as Bob Hope, Ginger Rogers, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Clark Gable, was photographed by Julian Graham. The guests were served soup from high-heeled shoes and given a course of live frogs - that promptly escaped. What made this event so important was that Dalí understood how to attract media attention and this event paved the way for the media savvy artists who followed decades later, such as the legendary Pop Culture Artist, Andy Warhol. This book showcases these photos and illustrates one of the most eccentric party events of the 20th century. Published to accompany an exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, this catalogue presents a broad selection of works by Picasso, in an effort to stimulate a reflection on his influence and interaction with such leading Spanish artists as Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Juan Gris, María Blanchard and Julio González: art reflecting on art and on the relationship between the real and the surreal, the artist’s heartfelt involvement in the tragedy of unfolding history, the emergence of the monster with a human face, and the metaphor of erotic desire as a primary source of inspiration for the artist’s creativity and world vision. Picasso and Spanish Modernity showcases works by Picasso and other artists, ranging from painting to sculpture, drawing, engraving from the collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid. The works of art include such celebrated masterpieces as the Portrait of Dora Maar, Horse’s Head and The Painter and the Model by Picasso, Siurana, the Path by Miró, along with Picasso’s drawings, engravings and preparatory paintings for his huge masterpiece Guernica.

John Byrne is one of Scotland’s most prolific and accomplished artists. Published on the occasion of an exhibition celebrating his contribution to the art of portraiture, this book illustrates the technical skill, brilliant draughtsmanship, versatility and inventiveness, fun and gravity that he has brought to the genre. Byrne has many strings to his artistic bow. As well as being a painter he is a successful playwright. Throughout his work he explores the many facets of human nature, confronting the uniqueness and complexity of individuals. It is these skills that are mirrored in his portraiture. As well as some rare examples of Byrne’s commissioned portraits, this publication celebrates some of the artist’s closest relationships, being for the most part, portraits of his friends and family. To accompany this, the book features an ‘in conversation’ between the artist and his good friend and owner of Brown’s Gallery, Tain, Gordon Brown.

The works featured in this book will illustrate how the precocious young Turner succeeded in winning the admiration of two of the most influential collectors in Britain, as well as the crucial role his depictions of Salisbury played in his campaign to establish himself as the preeminent artist of his generation. Turner’s Wessex focuses attention on three aspects of Turner’s many depictions of the Salisbury area. The first explores his responses to the Cathedral and town as a distinctive subject. The second addresses the series of views he painted of Fonthill for ‘England’s wealthiest son’, the fascinating and eccentric William Beckford. Finally, the book examines his work recording the central, southern counties of England, extending over a period of 30 years.

With this publication a comprehensive study of Impressionism in Canada is available for the first time: from its beginnings in France, via the dissemination of the new style through artists, gallerists, dealers and collectors in North America, and its incorporation into and propagation within a hitherto conservative milieu, to the reception of Canadian Impressionism both nationally and internationally. The study culminates in the concise portrayal of the lives and works of fourteen of the most significant Canadian artists – including William Blair Bruce, Maurice Cullen, J. W. Morrice, Laura Muntz Lyall, Marc-Aurele de Foy SuzorCote, Helen McNicoll and Clarence Gagnon along with several other artists who for some time also employed Impressionist techniques.

This exciting new publication looks closely at Horace Pippin (1888-1946) as an artist who was embraced by the art world, yet remained independent, creating and upholding a unique aesthetic sensibility while also candidly, if subtly, expressing his opinions on a wide range of social issues. Pippin vividly depicted a range of subject matter, from scenes of war, history and religion, to sporting scenes, floral still lifes and intimate family moments. Accompanying an exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, the book is the first examination of the artist’s work in 20 years. Fully illustrated with over 60 works from around the US, the book introduces a new generation of scholarly voices, speaking to such issues as influence, racial and religious politics, and narrative truths in history.

The seventeenth century is often known as the Dutch Golden Age, not only because of the great wealth the country amassed but also because of the impressive cultural flowering. The art of painting in particular reached a high point. Throughout the century, countless highly talented artists created masterpieces that still evoke our admiration more than four centuries later. Their paintings are the jewels in the collections of museums all over the world.

The sea was of crucial importance for the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands in the 17th century. The merchant ships brought great wealth while the fisheries fed hundreds of thousands of mouths. The navy kept the seas safe and protected the country from invasion, and consequently its admirals and naval officers enjoyed a high status. The memory of these sea heroes has been kept alive through impressive paintings, prints, drawings and memorabilia. But what is the story behind these objects? How and why were they made and what do they really show? This book gives fascinating insights into Dutch maritime history.

When we think of Rome, we think of an immense empire, built on conquest and military prowess - the historic base of our political, governmental and military systems, and the foundation of our culture. Rome conjures images of (crazy) emperors and (exotic) gladiators. But what if we look beyond these stereotypes? This book shows us a different Rome, in which the diversity of the empire takes centre stage. A diversity that we can only grasp if we view this Roman world as a whole, and in the context of world history. This is achieved by focusing on seven core themes, which together offer a comprehensive overview of society as it was back then. To shed light on the local aspects, we look at three different areas within the empire: the Italic peninsula, Egypt, and the Low Countries.

Petala aurea (petal of gold) is the term used in Early Medieval treatises to describe the fine sheet and foil (bracteates) used in goldsmithing. The book presents a collection of 47 thin gold sheet-work, with some exceptions in silver and copper alloy, owned by Prof. Rovati, Italian industrialist and art collector. This collection includes Lombard gold-sheet crosses and other fine foils of different shapes, extremely peculiar and difficult to pin down as they are unmatched in the Late Medieval jewellery known so far. The artifacts can be dated mainly to between the sixth and seventh centuries, while in terms of provenance and cultural milieu they bear traces of both the proto-Byzantine and “Barbarian” culture.

From the sword of Charlemagne, to the painter Gaugin’s dagger, this collection has over 300 pieces of art or arms to offer. The great majority are unknown to the general public for they have been kept in different institutions. For the first time, this collection can be presented as a whole. These works of art conceived in Italy by Antonio del Pallaiuolo and the Negrolies, are presented next to royal arms, such as the French King, Charles the Ninth’s, golden helmet, academics’ swords, memories of Napoleon, Emporor of France, and all sorts of other curiosities. In some cases, the collection is a witness to the Nation’s history, in others, simply memories of amateurs’ taste during the 19th century, but in any case it possesses a unique physiognomy, put forth in the pages of this book.

The unique and internationally celebrated atmosphere of The Frick Collection has as much to do with the decorative arts as with its iconic collection of old master paintings. Included here are carefully selected blocs of decorative arts - from stunning collections of Limoges enamels and Sèvres porcelain to French 18th-century furniture and an extraordinary collection of clocks and watches. Long overdue, this handbook - the first devoted to the decorative arts in the Frick’s collection - provides a valuable introduction to this area.

The Ashmolean opened its doors on 21 May 1683, making it Britain’s first public museum. It now ranks as one of the world’s greatest collections of art and archaeology with an extraordinary range of objects from prehistory to the present day, spanning Antiquities, Western and Eastern Art, Coins and Casts. This volume is divided into sections by media or object type, with each section ordered chronologically. Many objects have never been highlighted before and almost one in ten have been acquired since 2009, clearly demonstrating the Museum’s continuing mission to add to its collections. One of the great museums of the 19th century, the Neues Museum in Berlin, built between 1843 to 1855 to a design by Friedrich August Stüler, was celebrated both for its important collections and its innovative integration of exhibition concept and magnificent interior designs. Badly damaged during the Second World War, it’s been recently restored and reopened in all its glory. This lavish publication offers numerous full-page photographs magnificently showcase both the museum’s architecture and its collection.

The Laing Art Gallery, founded in Newcastle in 1904, was unusual amongst British regional galleries at the time for having opened without a collection. Having initially relied on loans from local collectors and national institutions throughout the years, the Laing has built up one of the most comprehensive and diverse displays of British painting in the country. Among its acquisitions are an outstanding watercolour collection, 19th century British oil paintings including world famous pieces of Pre-Raphaelite art by Edward BurneJones and William Holman Hunt, and the most comprehensive collection in the world of works by Romantic artist John Martin. The Corinium Museum is located at the heart of Cirencester. Its principal collection consists of the highly significant finds from the Roman town of Corinium Dobunnorum. However, the museum today is much more than that, taking the visitor on a journey through time and charting the development of the Cotswolds from its prehistoric landscape to the modern day. This illustrated guide allows the visitor to explore highlights of the Corinium’s fascinating and diverse collection. These include important Neolithic finds from burials at Hazleton; some of the earliest and most accomplished Roman mosaic pavements found in Britain; significant finds from the Anglo-Saxon burial site at Lechlade; and a wealth of treasures from the medieval period onward.

Doris Stauffer was educated as a photographer at Zurich School of Art and Design in the 1950s. Soon she also turned to other forms of art and also began to teach art herself, seeking for new, unconventional ways and methods in art education. In 1971 she was among the founders of a new school of experimental art and design in Zürich. This new book for the first time features Doris Stauffer’s personality, her artistic and educational work and her political engagement.

Jan De Maesschalck’s paintings represent a sharp view on topical subjects and the news. However, his clear observation of current events is depicted within an atmosphere of muse and memory. As such, his work represents an impression of melancholy and mockery.The tone set in the depiction of shadowy interiors and forlorn women is relativising and even humorous. All works speak of a strong but indefinable desire.

Crossing boundaries and expanding ideas of physical and social space are not new challenges for Essaydi. Moroccan born and raised, Essaydi became an artist after relocating from Morocco to Saudi Arabia, France, and the US. This itinerant personal history has afforded her the distance and means to explore the varied dimensions of Muslim women’s experiences based on those of her own, and also to challenge the boundaries that shaped her upbringing.

For a long time Belgian artist Karin Hanssen has been a well kept secret among the inner art crowd; now she is on the verge of a breakthrough. Her work is exhibited at S.M.A.K in Ghent and White Cube in London. She participated at the Japan triennial and in exhibitions such as ‘Fading’ (Elsene) and ‘from Memory’ (Ghent). In this book, she presents old and new works, paintings and drawings. This beautiful monograph will help you discover the immense talent of this artist.

The Swiss-Canadian painter Rudolf Stüssi has become known for his oil paintings, watercolours, and acrylic paintings, which show city views and figures in an extreme, ‘askew’ perspective and therefore alienate the viewed world and make it more dynamic. This richly illustrated book presents a selection of his works from the past 15 years: city views and landscapes, figurative fantasy worlds, portraits and book illustrations (e.g. for Johanna Spyris’ Heidi).The artist himself has his say in unusual autobiographical stories. Text in English and German.

The contemporary art scene in India is still quite young but is developing quickly. The authors invite the reader on a journey through this fascinating and fast moving art scene. Both Gérard Goodrow and Julia Ritterskamp have long-standing connections within the contemporary art world in Western Europe, but have also sought and established contact with Indian artists and other protagonists of the Indian art scene long before the boom of the so called “emerging markets”. The book presents both established and emerging artists from India as well as those with Indian heritage abroad. The topics range from politics to gender, from the art market to photojournalism, from abstraction to the concious drawing on traditional techniques.

What is ‘garbage’? ‘Trash’? ‘Rubbish’? More than 100 years after Marcel Duchamp changed the course of Western art by re-focusing our view of ‘found objects’, artists today continue to explore ‘refuse’ and its many uses and meanings in contemporary art. This fascinating book explores several recognisable trends among artists who consistently ‘re-purpose’ garbage or detritus to create works that examine identity, index and environment. In the deft hands of these artists, those connections are far from severed when these materials are discarded. Features interviews with artists Nick Cave, Aurora Robson, Mac Premo, Jill Sigman, Alyce Santoro and others.

New York artist Stephen Posen photographs the everyday world with a painter’s eye, capturing compositions that often blur the lines between realism and abstraction. The 174 images compiled in his first book of photographs, Ellipsis: Dual Visions, represent a broad range of locations and subjects - ranging from Tonlé Sap Lake in Cambodia to a flea market in rural Pennsylvania. The artist has arranged these images, taken in very diverse places and disparate times, in pairs, based on form, content, or some obscure magnetism, leaving the viewer to conjure a bridge between the two. The photographs collected here are playful, poetic, and endlessly compelling. They demonstrate the mastery and intuition of Posen’s eye, both as a photographer and an editor, teasing elusive connections from the visual glut of the modern world.

A sky changing constantly through light and cloud formations, an isle formed by water and wind: the Baltic island of Hiddensee has always been a place where painters, writers and musicians have attempted to capture the unique ambiences of this island in their works. The Berlin artist Harald Hoffmann de Vere has achieved this in a distinctive way: with a gentle and at times also calligraphic brushstroke, he gives permanent form to the rolling of the sea and the whistling of the wind in the dune grass. Again and again, the island of Hiddensee has drawn the painter there to create his art. This volume invites you to journey to Hiddensee: in over 100 watercolours, overpaintings and oil paintings, it presents the impressive work of the artist Harald Hoffmann de Vere, who is able to capture the beauty of the island in all the magnificence of its colours.

Francine Simonin has dedicated her life entirely to the art of drawing, graphics and painting. Her subjects are inspired by literature, music, the human body and landscapes. The relationship to her own art is sensual, violent and passionate. Simonin s world is full of desire and memories. It is also a tribute to personalities such as Marguerite Duras, whom she accompanied for a long time. The etchings are masterful, both in their creative freedom as well as in their technical skill. Her paintings reflect the colours of the world before a storm. The brushwork is choreography and calligraphy at the same time and reflects a world full of splendour and suffering. This book shows for the first time 40 years of drawing, painting and engraving by this important artist.

Jean Scheurer was born in Luasanne in 1942. He is a painter, sculptor, and abstract artist. He is a founding member of the Impact Group in Lausanne. Jean Scheurer makes sensitive and built work, based on the problems of definition of space and its supervision by the carved object. This stunning monograph showcases his work.

The photographic work of Brigitte Lustenberger finds its inspiration in contemporary photography but also strongly refers to painting, film and television. The depth of her images invites the viewer to reflect on art and life. “These photographs are composed like paintings and they also have the same statements. The flowers and the three-quarter view of the models whose eyes fix the viewer resemble paintings by Rembrandt or Caravaggio. But not only the composition, but also the guidance of the light is influenced by baroque paintings: The subject emerges distinctly from the dark background. The subtle use of colours and the effects of brightness and darkness, point out the form of the faces” (Ariane Pollet).

George Steinmann, artist, musician and researcher, is recognised as an eminent intermediary between art and the sciences in Switzerland. For many years he has been investigating the relation between ecology and aesthetics. Many of Steinmann’s works are created in a lengthy process and often involve other artists and scientists working on transdisciplinary projects. Call and Response presents George Steinmann’s thinking and working methods and analyses the development of his oeuvre and his collaboration with other disciplines. The second part of the book features selected works from the past thirty years and discusses them in the context of today’s artistic discourse.


Nakis Panayotidis Seeing the Invisible Edited by Matthias Frehner and Regula Berger ISBN: 9783858814449 Scheidegger & Spiess 240 x 240mm. 312pp. 141 col. January 2015, £40.00 Paperback

The Greek arte povera artist Nakis Panayotidis was born in 1947 in Athens and has done his education in architecture in Turin and in visual arts in Rome. Since 1974 he has been living and working both in Bern and the Greek island of Serifos. In the tradition of arte povera, Panayotidis employs a great diversity of materials in his art, such as stone, straw, lead, iron, copper and lamps etc. His art combines light and life and is never static. It always revolves around opposites that have found a moment of equilibrium. In his work, Panayotidis aims to emphasise the intrinsically permanent in momentary incidental images. This new book is published to coincide with a major retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Fine Art Bern. It features work by the artist in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and photography. Essays are contributed by curators Matthias Frehner and Regula Berger, Italian scholar, curator and art critic Bruno Corà, and also by personal friends of Panayotidis and collectors of his work.

The mythic figure of Prometheus has inspired many poets, painters and musicians since the age of romanticism. For Goethe and Henry Fuseli, the titan who stole the fire from the gods of ancient Greece became the embodiment of mankind struggling for autonomy and selfdetermination. Yet the fire has come not only to our benefit. Along with it came also menace upon mankind. This is the subject of a major work by Venezuelan artist Javier Téllez. In his film installation ½ Rotations (Prometheus and Zwitter) of 2011, two sculptures slowly rotate before a camera: Arno Breker’s (1900-91) Prometheus and Zwitter (hermaphrodite) by the German art-brut sculptor Karl Genzel (18711925). Both works were on display in the Nazi propaganda art shows of 1937 in Munich, Breker’s in the Great German Art Exhibition and Genzel’s in the coinciding defaming show Degenerate Art. This new book juxtaposes paintings and drawings reflecting the Prometheus myth by Henry Fuseli with Javier Téllez’s capital work of contemporary art.

Over the past thirty years, severe storms have swept over the entire Alpine region in short succession. The enormous masses of water they bring along combined with mankind interfering with nature increase the likelihood of more frequent natural disasters. The artist duo wiedemann/mettler took up the story of Noah’s ark. As the Book of Genesis tells us, the great deluge came to obliterate humanity’s moral corruption. However, God bestowed mercy on Noah and asked him to build an ark that would save humankind and wildlife alike. wiedemann/mettler’s interpretation of this symbolic narrative comes under the title “better safe than sorry” and presents the topic of safety in all its ambivalence. This new book documents the installation “better safe than sorry” at House of Art Uri in summer 2014 and other recent work by wiedemann/mettler.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is one of the best known of all Japanese woodblock print designers. He is particularly renowned for his landscape prints, which are among the most frequently reproduced of all Japanese works of art. Hiroshige’s landscape prints were hugely successful both in Japan and in the West. Aimed at a general audience, this book illustrates and discusses 53 Hiroshige landscape prints in the Ashmolean Museum’s collection and explores their historical background. It gives a concise introduction to Hiroshige’s life and career within the context of Japan’s booming 19th-century woodblock print industry and explores the development of the landscape print as a new genre in this period. It also discusses and illustrates the process and techniques of traditional Japanese woodblock print-making. Man in the Mirror confronts different themes in contemporary art works with the song by Michael Jackson. The Vanhaerents Art Collection is a vast and reputed collection of modern art. The theme of this volume is ‘reflection’. How do artists handle reflection and transformation and how do they integrate this in their art? What sense and meaning do they attribute to this intriguing theme? And how does the spectator perceive it?

A Living Work of Art tells the story of the evolution of the Museum property into a lush and inspiring garden. After a rich history as a California landmark and art institution, the Museum and garden underwent a major renovation under the direction of architect Frank Gehry. Landscape designer Nancy Goslee Power reimagined the property, transforming it into a verdant park inspired by Monet’s garden at Giverny. The pond and palette of colour delight visitors, as do the sculptures at the entrance, and then surprise those exploring the paths in the main garden: works by Aristide Maillol, Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Robert Rauschenberg, and others. The lower garden, with Indian and Cambodian sculptures, provides a contemplative backdrop for the Museum’s South and Southeast Asian collection. Mr. Brainwash’s aesthetic appeals to a wide audience. His colourful and playful images of pop culture icons promote a positive message and celebrate his subjects. Mr. Brainwash’s work has seeped into the pop culture consciousness, especially the cover of Madonna’s greatest hits compilation, Celebration. He has also designed artwork for such influential musicians as Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, and Rick Ross. Mr. Brainwash has also designed artwork for “Rock the Vote,” Madonna’s Hard Candy gym in Toronto, Seth McFarlane’s Oscar Party (the year he hosted), and Coachella – in conjunction with the Hard Rock Hotel. The work contains quotes about Mr. Brainwash from world-renowned artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey.

Entropy, from the Greek ‘entrope’, the action of transforming itself at random… For the first monograph in English of the Portuguese artist, Alexander Farto - aka Vhils - it is an emblematic title indeed. The artist’s aim, in carving portraits of anonymous persons on the degraded walls of our modern cities, is not only to give a second life to these abandoned mural supports but also to bring to light ordinary citizens roughly treated by society. Giving up the graffiti, his tools are now the chisel, the jackhammer, even some explosive devices, to reveal the various strata hidden under the surface of the wall and generating human figures hollowed or in relief. Vhils also works indoors using metal, wood, polystyrene or cork, testing out a new technique each time, like laser scraping the ‘crust’ of layered advertising posters for the purpose of creating strange palimpsests from which urban shapes and human faces appear here again. All in all, Vhils’s work is here to make visible the obvious and less obvious links existing between a city and its inhabitants, and to express the need of preserving, in ‘the sound and fury’, what makes us human beings.

Clearly influenced by comics and cartoons, Bué has created a specific idiom that he translates to the street. His colourful characters brighten streets around the world. Bué is internationally acclaimed as one of Belgium’s pioneers of Street Art. These days, Street Art is recognised by a broad audience and Bué’s style and techniques are remarkable and distinctive. His characters interact with the local public as he travels around the world. This book presents a selection of the best works, murals and other creations. Bué the Warrior (Dave De Rop) grew up in a family of cartoonists. He continued the family tradition but uses the streets as his canvas. For years he’s been doing what he loves most bringing colour and positive energy to the places that need it most. He also has his own children’s clothing line called Tokyo Kids and has founded Hey Hey Apps, a company developing apps for children.

Over eight million people from all over the world flock to the Louvre every year for the opportunity to gaze upon Leonardo da Vinci’s beguiling Renaissance masterpiece, ‘La Gioconda’, more popularly known as Mona Lisa. What is it about this iconic portrait that continues to mesmerise? For centuries, civilisations have exhaustively attempted to examine all facets of the famous artwork’s creation, influence, mythology, heritage, and mystique. There has never before been published a comprehensive collection of Mona Lisa recreations. This oversight has finally been remedied by Mona Lisa Reimagined, a lavishly illustrated and captivating anthology of hundreds of pieces of art that have been inspired by this priceless world treasure. Featuring both established and emerging artists from over fifty different countries, this book is destined to become an essential addition to any bookshelf, coffee table, or library.

A census conducted in 1901 indicated the existence of some 209 producers of pottery in France, employing a total of around 5,800 fulltime labourers. This great activity stimulated a parallel development in the arts, including the search for new expressions in art pottery, giving birth to l’art nouveau, a great and eclectic synthesis of a number of other art styles. Largely through British arts and crafts, and the work of artists like the Manxman Archibald Knox, it reached far back into the prehistory of Celtic art. To this were added later medieval elements, through the gothic revival championed by William Morris. The book focuses especially on artists working stoneware or grès, faience, and terracotta. It aims to provide a general survey of the many artists working in these areas, and includes brief accounts of the ceramics work of sculptors and painters whose wider output is already well known.

This book, first published in 1995, remains the most detailed study of Jacobite glass ever undertaken, and the glasses are described against the compelling history of the Jacobite movement in the 18th century. Hundreds of detailed photographs of the engravings help to authenticate the genuine glasses in a field well known to be infested with fakes. This third edition follows the same format as previous editions but is published in a more compact form, replete with an additional chapter. The diamond point engraved ‘Amen’ glasses are, without question, the most valuable of all Jacobite glasses and indeed one of the most valuable of any of the 18th century drinking glasses. Further studies have revealed that the ‘Amen’ glasses were engraved by the famous Scottish line engraver, Sir Robert Strange, and the evidence for this is provided in the final chapter.

Since first published in 1991 Pocket Jackson’s, as it is most often called, has enjoyed enormous success and is constantly rated as a best seller in the Arts & Antiques category. During the last twenty three years important developments have taken place in the Hallmarking system. Most notably the introduction within Europe of a universally accepted system of marking has lead not only to the addition of new marks, but also to a change of status of several historic marks. This edition brings up to the present day all the date letters and commemorative marks. It also includes the recently introduced marks for Palladium and a section illustrating the Assay Office identification marks of those countries that are signatories to the International Convention marking system. In addition and of importance are the changes made in the early cycles of Dublin date letters which result from recent research by silver scholars in Ireland.

Derek Styles with his wife Patsy and son George, run Styles Silver in Hungerford where they started their business in 1974. To start with they sold only antique silver but gradually worked their way through Arts and Crafts and became more fascinated with modern design. Not always able to identify the maker Derek began researching this period and feels the quality of design and craftsmanship since 1945 to be very underrated. He has had a biography of jazz musician Makanda Ken McIntyre published in America.

Viewing a Paper Peepshow is an intimate, individual experience that, in the age of television and hand-held computers, gives a real sense of personal discovery. The viewer engages by peeping through a tiny hole and thereby discovers inside layers of images, like a pocketsized stage set. The main centre of peepshow manufacture in the 19th century was toy-making Nuremburg. Briefly in the 1950s it was Britain. Nowadays it is the United States. Paper peepshows are no longer intended essentially for children but for bibliophiles and art-appreciating adults. This stunning book charts the history of these charming collectables. The illustrated catalogue section includes the following data where known: country of origin, publisher, date, method of printing (eg chromolithograph), shape and dimensions, and number of scenes. 100 British Chairs depicts a selection of chairs that date from several important periods in the history of British chair design. Presented in a roughly chronological sequence, the emphasis is on early (pre-1745) and late (post-1840) periods. The presentation is also thematic, and this more accurately represents the purpose of the book, which is to illustrate some of the key developments in British chair design in the chosen periods. Design and development before 1740 were largely the work of artists and craftsmen whose names have been lost, so the chairs are mostly unattributed and arranged by type and period. The later chairs are arranged differently, highlighting the work of well-known designers of the Gothic Revival, Arts and Crafts, and other progressive British design schools. The Arts and Crafts Movement produced some remarkable furniture. Its principal designers, though not all, were architects motivated by principles of good design and honest workmanship. The results varied from the sober oak austerity of Voysey to the exuberant inlays of Ashbee and even Morris & Co. Written by a recognised authority on the subject, Arts and Crafts Furniture offers detailed illustrations, exploring the work of the main protagonists: the Guilds, the Cotswold School, the Glasgow designers, Heal’s, and Liberty. The reader is taken on a colourful journey from the movement’s origins, through its heyday to its culmination, explaining how the Arts and Crafts principles became ingrained in modern design. Victor Chinnery’s scholarly work covers the history and development of furniture in oak and kindred timbers in the British Isles and New England, from the Middle Ages through to the end of the 18th-century. The subject is broken down into a logical sequence, and each section is generously illustrated. The study of oak furniture is a remarkably rich subject, reflecting at several levels the social and domestic life of many generations of our ancestors. With an outstanding range of illustrations and a chronological pictorial index, this work of reference allows for quick and easy identification of different pieces. The furniture of Connecticut and Massachusetts in the 17th century is presented as an extension of the range of styles to be found in other English provinces at the same date.

DECORATIVE ARTS 79


Moroccan Carpets and Modern Art Florian Hufnagl (ed.), Jürgen Adam

Unique examples from one of the most significant private collections of Moroccan nomad carpets in the world illustrate how the eschewal of figurative representation led to radical abstraction and a completely free and modern use of colour and form. Their abstract compositions fascinated artists of all disciplines.

ISBN: 9783897904224 Arnoldsche Art Publishers 300 x 245mm. 440pp. 700 col. January 2015, £45.00 Hardback Text in English & German

This striking affinity is at the core of this publication, which concisely contrasts Moroccan woven and knotted carpets with European as well as American twentieth-century painting. The abstract debate with graphic fundamental elements, such as point, line and surface, is the unifying element with early so-called primitive cultures of Africa, Asia and the Americas and of Western avant-garde artists. With a clear and enriching glimpse into the spiritual connections and the cultural exchanges between East and West, the publication illustrates how the abandonment of figural representations in the Islamic world led to reactions and outcomes very similar to the abstract art of the occident.

Naga Textiles

The focus of this comprehensive work is the aesthetics and the decryption of the ‘language’ of the textiles of the Nagas, a group of tribal local cultures in the north-east of India and the northwest of Burma. For more than ten years, anthropologist Marion Wettstein has systematically been drawing the traditional fabrics, and researching their design, production techniques, meaning and contemporary transposition into fashion. More than 60 colour pencil drawings and 180 watercolours on the morphology of the textile samples are considered by the author to be not just an artistic translation but in particular visual argumentation.

80 TEXTILES & COLLECTABLES

While the work shows how the textile patterns are laden with meaning of a complex system of status and social structure, it also illuminates what is understood by these concepts in the context of the Nagas and to what extent they are also constructs of colonial and scientific intervention.

Sasha dolls have been popular for decades, and are well known to children and their mothers all over the world. This book is an updated and handy version of the first book about the artist Sasha Morgenthaler. Sasha dolls are characterised by their individualism, their realistic expressions, their unique colour, and the extreme attention to detail in the manufacture of the dolls as well as their clothes. Though they seem decent and rather unobtrusive at first sight, they quickly became famous because of their rapidly growing popularity and their broad distribution. Dolls were produced in different styles, wearing different clothes, and with subtle variations (mostly in painting) that individualise and particularise each. They manifest also the social commitments of the artist: refugee children, orphans, black-curled and blonde girls and boys, some in ripped jeans, others in precious lace embroideries.

Frank Jolles ISBN: 9783897904231 Arnoldsche Art Publishers 245 x 245mm. 256pp. 300 col. January 2015, £45.00 Paperback

Fang Zhaoling (1914 - 2006) was one of the foremost women artists of 20th-century China. Born in Wuxi in Jiangsu province, she was educated privately at home and later attended school in Shanghai and university in the UK, at Manchester. She married in 1938 and settled in Hong Kong. Following her husband’s early death in 1950 Zhaoling resumed her painting studies and counted among her teachers leading artists such as Zhao Shao’ang and Zhang Daqian. In the 1950s she studied at Oxford, and she spent much of the following decade in London. Throughout her career she exhibited widely and travelled extensively. She experimented with abstract styles but always remained true to the traditions of Chinese ink paintings, which she often made contemporary through her choices of humanitarian and environmental subjects. The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is one of the most complex and culturally fascinating areas of China. The Guangxi Museum illustrates all aspects of this region reflecting both classical Chinese culture as well as that of the Zhuang, the largest minority people in the region. The museum was opened in 1978, a modern structure with southern architectural characteristics. It also has a garden with lakes and buildings in local styles. Exhibits range from ‘Liujiang Man’ - the earliest representative of modern man found to date anywhere in China or Southeast Asia - to spectacular displays of Guangxi bronze culture; in particular bells but also axes, spears, ladles and other objects. The Chinese porcelain objects collected by Alvaro Conde constitute one of the finest private collections worldwide. This publication includes texts by leading experts in this area: an introduction by Christie's Becky Mcquarie, a main essay by porcelain specialist William Sargent and an essay about the business relationship between China and New Spain by Maria Bonta de La Pezuela.

Brewing beer has a long tradition with the Zulus, the largest ethnic group of South Africa. The beverage was traditionally prepared by women at home in ornate ceramic vessels specially made for this purpose. This book aims to present the rich palette of styles of these vessels in all their beauty and to save them from being forgotten. The colourful history of the Zulus since the early 19th century, including the violent racial segregation in recent years, accompanied a golden age of traditional arts and crafts that served as both a bestower of identity and provided a link to their ancestry. In the Zuluspeaking region there is a wealth of forms and decorative elements that is unprecedented in the ceramic of South Africa. Zulu Beer Vessels documents this influence of colonial politics and of the apartheid laws on style and prevalence of the popular beer vessels.

82 AFRICAN & ASIAN ART

West Africa has a rich and long artistic tradition. Yet the view still prevails that no aesthetic principles can be found in traditional African art, nor that independent artistic personalities have ever emerged from this tradition. Only ‘tribal workshops’ with anonymous artist are identified. African Masters proves this simplistic and patronising verdict wrong. Essays by scholars investigate the role of the artists in traditional, and modern, society, their ideal of beauty and its transformation into works of art. The book also offers the first overview of the most significant sculptors from Ivory Coast and its neighbouring countries. African Masters features around 200 masterpieces from private and public collections, including that of Museum Rietberg Zürich, all in full colour and many of full-page plates.

The figurative coffins crafted by the Ga people have been officially recognised as artworks since the exhibition Les Magiciens de la terre in Paris featured them in 1989. Their invention is generally accredited to the coffin maker Kane Kwei (1925−1992) from Teshie. In this book, Regula Tschumi questions the art world’s established interpretation of the figurative coffins. She also examines for the first time those figurative sedans, little-known in western art, but furniture considered the likely forerunners of the figurative coffins.

For some fifty years, the Ga of Greater Accra in southern Ghana have produced coffins in the shape of animals, fruits and status symbols. This unique practice is explored in depth here for the first time in a publication featuring a scholarly text an informative illustrations. In addition to investigating the origins of the figurative coffins in the art and beliefs of the Ga, ethnologist Regula Tschumi examines the socio-cultural context, discusses manufacturing techniques and working conditions, and acquaints the reader with the achievements of the most important craftsmen. In word and images she also vividly describes several funerals that she witnessed. She shows how “the buried treasures of the Ga” are far more than art objects created for museums and galleries: rooted in ancient beliefs, they form an integral part of Ghanaian funderal ceremonies and burial rites.

Tall Buildings of China is a breathtaking new compilation that showcases the latest tall buildings in China, the global powerhouse and the world’s most populous nation, including the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and emerging supercities in the provinces. Contains amazing colour photography throughout. Georges Binder, one of the world’s most accomplished tall buildings experts, examines the best in contemporary design, the technology that makes them possible, and pairs them with beautiful imagery.

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has produced four Technical Guides to date, since the series launched in late 2012. Each of these guides is the product of a CTBUH Working Group committees formed specifically to address focused topical subjects in the industry. The intention of each guide is the same to provide working knowledge to the typical building owner or professional who wants a better understanding of available options for improving tall buildings, and what affects their design. The object of the series is to provide a tool-kit for the creation of better-performing tall buildings, and to spread the understanding of the considerations that need to be made in designing tall. The CTBUH is the world’s leading resource for professionals focused on the design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities. A not-for-profit organisation based at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, the group facilitates the exchange of the latest knowledge available on tall buildings around the world.

Designing the Ecocity-in-the-Sky is a comprehensive resource on vertical urbanism and how to plan and design a vertical ecocity of 100 stories. The book covers the main objectives: ecodesign, concepts, habitats, and designing for biodiversity. There are detailed drawings, diagrams, and photos that work through the technical, research, analytic, and engineering issues of ecotowers and eco-engineering designs. The book is also helpful for anyone looking to understand multi-elevatoring concepts for multiuse towers, floor-plate designs for various usages, the effects of wind on towers, and other sustainable eco-engineering concepts. Dr. Jin-Ho Park has written numerous pieces on contemporary urban high-rise housing design, with particular emphasis on the applications of ecodesign features in traditional and contemporary structures.

An Ideal Collaboration The Art of Classical Details Phillip James Dodd, foreword by Ellie Cullmann In the follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Art of Classical Details, Phillip James Dodd continues his look at some of the finest examples of contemporary classical architecture in Great Britain and the United States, while also examining how collaboration is the key to their successful design. In reality collaborative relationships are rare, especially amongst designers, where each is often focused on their own individual objectives and unable to transcend their own egos. Often used as a catch phase, but not often realised, true collaboration requires an understanding – and an appreciation - of the role that all parties play in the design and construction of a home.

The Art of CFA Voysey English Pioneer Modernist Architect & Designer David Cole CFA Voysey is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Modern movement of architecture and design, and one of the most influential and important of all the 19th and early 20th century British designers. He designed over 60 houses throughout England, from small cottages and gate lodges to suburban houses and substantial country house commissions. Voysey was the ‘complete designer’; he designed all manner of objects, from wallpaper to cutlery, textiles to furniture, war memorials to stained glass windows, and bookplates.

As a leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain his fame and influence extended to the United States to the next generation of American Arts and Crafts architects and early Modernists, notably Greene & Greene, Bernard Maybeck and Frank Lloyd Wright. In Europe, fundamental aspects of Voysey’s design approach were embraced by the Dutch De Stijl group; during the 1920s, and eventually also by the German Bauhaus movement.

Semi-detached: Writing, Representation and Criticism in Architecture is a book about the role played by words and images in shaping our understanding of the built environment. A documentation of the conventions of architectural representation, it is also an exploration of the many ways in which those conventions can be productively challenged, subverted or ignored to broaden the conversation about architecture and what it means. The book assembles a series of essays and interviews from practicing architects on the role of representation in their work, alongside contributions from some of Australia’s most highly regarded contemporary architectural photographers.

This illustrated essay blends reflections on the urban development of the Lebanese capital with the experience gained on the projects of this architect-contractor, engaged in the effort to reopen the debate on architecture in his country. The first part of the book examines Youssef Tohme’s ideas, illustrated with 25 photos by Ziad Antar, a Lebanese visual artist-photographer. Equipped with a Holga and a Rollefleix, Antar has captured the architect’s key projects - St. Joseph University in Beirut (designed with the office of 109 architects), the Villa T and the Villa M in Kornet Chehouane, and the Villa SC in Akoura. The second part, authored by Karine Dana, facilitated exchanges of ideas between Youssef Tohme and important figures of the Lebanese cultural scene such as the architect Tony Chakar, the artist Ziad Abilama and the singer Ahmed de Maschrou.

Josef Paul Kleihues is one of the great German architects of the present day, who has had a farreaching impact on both theory and practice of construction since the 1970s. Early on, Berlin was the geographical focal point of his work: his most important building projects in this city include the main workshop of the Berliner Stadtreinigung, the Kantdreieck Tower, the reconstruction of the Museum Hamburger Bahnhof as well as the Liebermann house and the Sommer house on Pariser Platz. On the occasion of Josef Paul Kleihues’ 70th birthday, this richly illustrated book systematically and comprehensively introduces the world famous architect’s life achievements. Renowned authors direct attention to the different facets of his important work, thus providing fascinating insights into the architectural history and theory of the past decades.

In the first third of the book, the optimism regarding the Green building movement in Asia is questioned against facts on the region’s rising consumption and worsening environmental track record. Arising from this critique, and an examination of what is defined as a Green building today, 6 principles are proposed as a way of moving the industry towards sustainable development. These are illustrated with 19 projects in Asia. In the following two-thirds of the book, another 12 case studies are featured to illustrate how these six principles might be integrated at the drawing board and what this might mean to performance.

92 ARCHITECTURE

Since 1991 Luca Selva Architects have been realising a range of highly interesting projects, including semidetached double-family homes, a house for an art collector, a house with artist’s studio, or a multigeneration home. The new book comprehensively presents and compares nine of these buildings. They are documented with images, floor and site plans, sections, and elevations. The essays look at the single family home as an architectural task and discuss questions of design in the context of historical and contemporary positions.

The latest edition of Best of Austria features around 170 projects that were completed in 2012 and 2013. Each is presented with 2 - 3 images and a floor plan, section or elevation as well as brief descriptive texts. A critical essay on contemporary Austrian architecture and building culture, a comprehensive index of all featured projects and architectural firms, and information on all architecture awards round out this up-to-date survey of contemporary architecture and building culture in Austria.

Yona Friedman is recognised as one of the most eminent proponents of 1960s avant-garde urbanism. This new book offers a unique collection of texts and annotations, an abundance of images, sketches, drawings, watercolours etc. by Friedman himself. Manuel Orazi gives an analysis of Friedman’s oeuvre, based on extensive research. Orazi expands on historical, social and political contexts. A documentation of Friedman’s intellectual relationships and other resources, an interview with Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi about Friedman, and a comprehensive bibliography round out the book.

E2A Piet Eckert and Wim Eckert Architects was established by the two brothers in Zürich in 2001. They soon gained national, and increasingly also international, recognition for their work in exhibition designs, industrial architecture, public buildings, and housing. Silent Form is the conversion of this visual research into book form in which utmost care has been given to design and materialisation and the arrangement and sequence of images. An essay on the neurobiological fundamentals of perception and exemplariness complements the art.

RVTR Research Vision Transformation Realization have undertaken a multi-faceted investigation into possible urban futures for the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America. Infra Eco Logi Urbanism presents comprehensively RVTR’s findings and proposals. Around 100 images, visualisations and graphics illustrate the text. The book also features essays situating the historical development of the region around transportation, and investigating possible future worlds and utopias within the context of the specific project and more broadly the practice of design-research.

Halley VI Research Station is the first fully relocatable research station in the world. It was commissioned in 2006 and its unique and innovative structure was the result of an international design competition in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The research facility is segmented into eight modules, each sitting atop ski-fitted, hydraulic legs that can be individually raised to overcome snow accumulation and allowing the module being towed independently to a new location. Halley VI is designed by London-based Hugh Broughton Architects and AECOM, a US-based architecture and building engineering enterprise. The new book tells the story of this exciting piece of architecture. Around 100 photographs, plans and diagrams document the various modules of the re-locatable station and its present site. Captions offering comprehensive technical information about the structure complement the images.

In the 1950s and 1960s, most African countries gained independence from their respective colonial power. Architecture became one of the principal means by which the newly formed countries expressed their national identity. This groundbreaking new book investigates for the first time the relationship between architecture and nation building in Ghana, Senegal, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, and Zambia. It features well over one hundred buildings with brief descriptive texts, images, site plans and selected floor plans and sections. The majority of images is contributed by celebrated Dutch architectural photographer Iwan Baan, documenting the buildings in their present state. Each country is portrayed in an introductory text and a timeline of historic events. Further essays on post-colonial Africa and specific aspects and topics, also illustrated with images and documents, round out this outstanding book.

Typology 2 follows up on the preceding and successful Typology, published in 2012 (ISBN: 9783906027012). Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein together with their teaching staff and students at ETH Zurich expanded their research on building typology to four more metropolises, again in Europe, Latin America, and Asia: Paris, Delhi, São Paulo, and Athens. 180 buildings were analysed over the past two years to find inspiration and models that can be adapted for the local context of any given city. Each example is documented with an image, site and floor plans, axonometric projection, key data, and a brief description. An introduction and four essays on the interaction between various protagonists and in particular the effect of governing local building regulation again show the potential for contemporary urban architecture. The result is again a rich sourcebook of great practical value for students, lecturers and practitioners of architecture.

Installation Architecture Beyond Art Ila Berman

Multitudes examines the work of multi-award winning international design practice, HASSELL. Founded in Australia in 1938, HASSELL has grown to become one of the world’s largest design firms, with offices in around the world. Released to mark the practice’s 75th anniversary, Multitudes unpacks the collaborative, multidisciplinary design approach that has seen the practice thrive in the turbulent, increasingly globalised conditions of the 21st century city.

This book examines how a revision of the role of architecture and design within urban public works can transform mono-functional mobility projects into multifaceted infrastructures that can activate urban space at multiple scales. It focuses on how the introduction of new forms of linear transit systems can serve as the epicentre of a broader public works agenda that can actually rethink the relationship between edge and centre in Mexico City.

Expanded Field explores the realm of art and architecture across a broad terrain of installation practices, revealing a critical territory that, despite its exuberant proliferation, has been historically defined as a negativity: the progeny of that which is both not-architecture and not-art. Within this book, a wide range of art and architectural works are positioned and mapped as constellations within a newly expanded field suspended between Architecture, Interiors, Sculpture, and Landscape.

Hightide

Lacoste + Stevenson

Mongrel Rapture

Once best known for its beaches and idyllic, tropical climate, over the past decade Queensland has emerged as a wellspring of design innovation. Hightide is the first book to capture the output of this vibrant centre of contemporary Australian design. Sumptuously presented, Hightide features furniture, object and industrial design by some of Australia's most highly regarded creative talents, including Alexander Lotersztain, Christina Waterson, Marc Harrison and many others.

This book is a compilation of projects by award-winning architects Lacoste + Stevenson. With design by renowned creative studio Toko and contributions from critics, Lacoste + Stevenson: Architecture Stories unpacks the conceptual approach that has led to the practice’s award-winning designs. The assembled work spans two decades of practice and two continents, and includes built and unbuilt projects of varying programmes, complexities and budgets, from furniture design to urban master planning, art installations to large buildings.

In his introduction to Mongrel Rapture, the first monograph on the work of Australian architectural practice Ashton Raggatt McDougall (ARM), Charles Jencks identifies ARM as one of a handful of architectural practices that operate in a mould he describes as ‘Radical Post Modernism’. Part scrapbook, part critical exegesis, Mongrel Rapture is both confronting and thought-provoking: a vital publication for anyone with an interest in this practice and Australian architecture’s very particular strain of ‘Radical Post Modernism’.

This monograph represents over a dozen houses selected from the last 30 years, from one of the pioneers in sustainable architecture. With a foreword by Michael Webb, this large landscape format book is beautifully laid out with striking photographs depicting not only the finished works, but some showing the unique construction process as well. Each residence has a detailed project description and select drawings that explain the design process and how modern materials can be exploited to create selfsustaining homes, which work to restore not just the environment around them, but the people who call them home.

Dhivehi Raaje - the authentic local word for Maldives, has always been a fascinating place for visitors who love the sunny, white sandy beaches, underwater beauty and the hospitality they get from islanders while they are on a resort. What they don’t often see is the life outside of the resort. As the concept of tourism in the Maldives is a one-hotel-one-island concept, all that is worth seeing about Maldives and its people is just a step away from the resort life. Malé the capital city of the Maldives is the living construction site of the country. The construction and design industry in the Maldives has largely been an automatic offshoot from the tourism industry and we are still building every single day. Buildings play a huge role in the diversification of the dreams, shaping ideals, and ideas of the private and public lives of the Dhivehin. This book is not just about a building; it is about how major architecture gets commissioned, managed and built in Australia today. In this case, we look at the new billion dollar Melbourne Convention Centre. The book follows the whole process - from the three trucks of drawings, documents and models sent to the Premier’s office, which won the initial design competition, through to the newspapers lurching into gear with their familiar rhetoric. Yet, despite the glare of media attention, the process that lies behind big architecture is far from clear. This book explores this process, through a building that not only challenges the conventions of public space, but also what architecture means in the contemporary city.

Why, when every problem facing humanity, from poverty to violent conflict over resources, is exacerbated by a ballooning human population, is the demographic explosion ignored by policy makers and the media? Isn’t it time to start talking about the equation that matters most to the future of people and the planet? In 2015, a book as large and dramatic as the topic it covers, Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot will ignite that conversation around the world. In an exhibit-format treatment with provocative photos from across the globe, OVER moves beyond insider debates and tired old arguments. Framed with essays by population experts, the heart of OVER is a series of photo essays illuminating the depth of the damage that human numbers and behaviour have caused to the Earth - and which threatens humanity’s future.

A must have for any student of the game and indeed anyone interested in getting a real insight into how to think and read the game, from club, to course to card. The first book a golfer should pack for a golf vacation or a long weekend. Lined with great interviews, hilarious stories and quotes, Golf in 18 Chapters takes the reader on a tour from the glint in the eye of a child finding the game for the first time to the very top professionals, caddies and coaches explaining the mechanics of the player under tournament pressure. From the history of the game, to walking the course and understanding how to make the most of it, this book covers it all with thought provoking style, satirical humour and intuitive expertise. Guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any golfer and perhaps take a shot or two off their scorecard. On Christmas evening 2014 it will be exactly 100 years ago that German and English soldiers reconciled for a short moment in and around the trenches of the Salient. Even though they had been shooting each other the day before, and without their superiors being aware, at Christmas 1914 German and English soldiers decided to forget about the madness for a while. In surreal surroundings the dead were buried, cigarettes and chocolates exchanged, Christmas songs were sung and... soccer matches were played. This ‘trench match’ became the symbol of humanity in an inhuman war and will be commemorated at the end of 2014.

The third in Julie Muszynski’s Henley series, Henley In Hollywood takes Ms. Lulu Ziminiski, a fashionably fabulous New Yorker and her equally fabulous black-and-white Japanese Chin, to the West Coast, where Henley meets his favourite actor, Louis the Loquacious Lion! They never expected Henley to become a star himself, joining the ranks of Toto, the Tramp, and all 101 Dalmatians, some of Henley’s acting inspirations. Though he could easily be caught up in the glitz and glamour of his newfound Hollywood fame, Henley and Ms. Lulu prove that they know how to stay true to themselves, and to each other.

Simon Drew would like to be considered a very wise man. His evidence is that wise men drink wine and nobody could be more dedicated to prolonging this state of (dis)graceful wisdom than Simon. He is certain that wine is an excellent aid to inspiration for his word plays, puzzles and drawings. For Simon, less is never more. More is always more. Less is always less. This is more or less true. Such wisdom comes to him after several glasses of wine. Simon has produced this book with due reverence to all viticulturists, vintners, publicans, restaurateurs, bon viveurs and to the god Bacchus and hopes to demonstrate that the way of the wise man is the path through the vineyard.

Deep in Your Best Reflection Poems in 160 Characters Danny Simmons, edited by Kiersten Armstrong and Mike Warlow

Prejudices and stereotypes are as ancient as mankind. Why do we think we can deduce someone’s characteristics by their appearance? This book is based on the contested theory of Italian doctor Lombroso on the heredity of criminality. Lombroso stated that criminal behaviour is a part of human nature. He wanted to prove some forms of criminality are hereditary. Facial features, corporal constitution... as a basis to stigmatise people. But how do we deal with appearance these days, in a multicultural society? Do we still presume ‘other’ features are ‘suspicious’? Is there such a thing as a ‘born criminal’? This book also pays attention to phenomena such as physical anthropology, craniometry and phrenology.

For more than twenty years, astrologer Katharine Merlin has penned monthly horoscopes for Town&Country magazine, producing one of the magazine’s most widely-read and beloved columns and now the most visited site on the Hearst corporate website for each of its 16 magazines. In The Private Lives of the Sun Signs, Merlin presents in-depth analyses of each of the twelve zodiac signs – from Aries to Pisces – illustrating their unique characteristics with astonishing accuracy. Drawing upon wisdom gleaned over the course of her forty-year career in astrology, Merlin provides invaluable insight into the idiosyncrasies of each sign – the way they process emotions, communicate, find motivation, relate to others, and more.

This is a little black book of poems and images that will get your blood pumping. Immediate poetry for the 21st century… a 160-character love note to let someone know how much you are missing them at that moment… carefully constructed with words and images designed to convey, in a tiny space, how special your lover is to you.
