Young Charlotte, FilmmakerFrank Viva
Children’s
Illustrated throughout • 30.0 x 23.0cm • 40pp
ISBN 978 0 870 709500 • September
£12.95
Young Charlotte is a filmmaker who loves
everything that’s black and white, including
spiders, penguins and the old movies that she
sees with her dad at the Golden Theatre (where
the floors are sticky). With her camera at the
ready wherever she goes, she finds inspiration
for movies everywhere she looks. But when her
colourful parents and colourful classmates just
don’t ‘get’ her, she’s ready to give up – until a lucky
encounter with a film curator at The Museum of
Modern Art in New York changes her perspective.
Inspired by the films she sees at MoMA and stories
of other pioneering directors, Charlotte gets to
work. And it’s hard work! But when her movie
finally premieres at the Museum, Charlotte is
thrilled to be doing exactly what she loves best.
A follow up to Frank Viva’s Young Frank,
Architect and perfect for film lovers, aspiring
directors and creative souls, Young Charlotte,
Filmmaker is an inspiring tale of a girl with a
camera and a vision.
In addition to illustrating ten New Yorker covers in the past two years, illustrator and designer Frank Viva has published two award-winning and bestselling children’s books – Along a Long Road was named one of the New York Times’ Ten Best Illustrated Books of 2011. Viva is also founder of the branding and design agency Viva & Co. and cofounder of Whigby, a stationery company.

Joaquín Torres-García: The Arcadian ModernEdited by Luis Pérez-Oramas Contributions by Alexander Alberro, Sergio Chejfec, Estrella de Diego and Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães
Art Monograph
220 illustrations • 26.7 x 22.9cm • 240pp
ISBN 978 0 870 709753 • October
£40.00
Joaquín Torres-García is one of the most complex
and emblematic modern masters from the first
half of the 20th century, whose work determined
transformational paths for modern art on both
sides of the Atlantic. His personal involvement
with a significant number of early Modern
and avant-garde movements, from Catalan
Noucentismo to Cubism, Ultraism, Vibrationism
and Neo-Plasticism, make him an unparalleled
figure in the history of modernism in the Americas.
Published in conjunction with the first major,
all-inclusive retrospective of the artist’s work
in the US since the 1970s, this richly illustrated
publication presents Torres-García’s long and
wide-ranging career, from the late 19th century
to the 1940s, and includes drawings, paintings,
objects and sculptures. Combining a chronological
presentation with a thematic approach, the
book is organized into five separate essays with
interspersed plates, followed by an illustrated
chronology and an extensive bibliography.
Luis Pérez-Oramas is the Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Picasso Sculpture Edited by Ann Temkin and Anne UmlandContributions by Luise Mahler and Virginie Perdrisot
Art Monograph
500 illustrations • 30.5 x 24.1cm • 352pp
ISBN 978 0 870 709746 • October
£55.00
Published in conjunction with the first large-scale
retrospective of Picasso’s sculpture in the United
States since The Museum of Modern Art’s historic
show of 1967, Picasso Sculpture is a sweeping
survey of the artist’s profoundly innovative and
influential work in three dimensions. It presents
approximately 150 sculptures – many of them
captured in newly commissioned and sometimes
multi-view photographs – alongside a selection
of works on paper and photographs. Organized
into chapters that correspond to distinct
periods during which Picasso devoted himself
to sculpture, the book features an introduction
by the exhibition curators as well as a richly
illustrated documentary chronology focusing
on the sculptures included in the exhibition. A
comprehensive bibliography and list of historic
exhibitions related to Picasso’s work in sculpture
closes the volume, advancing the understanding
of Picasso’s practice and lifelong commitment to
constant reinvention.

Grapefruit Yoko Ono
Art Monograph
Illustrated throughout • 14.0 x 14.0cm • 180pp
ISBN 978 0 870 709784 • July
£100.00
Yoko Ono is a seminal figure in the development
of conceptual art, performance and Fluxus, as
well as film and new music. Her artist’s book
Grapefruit, first published in 1964 in Tokyo by
Wunternaum Press, in an edition of 500 copies,
contains more than 150 works divided into five
sections: MUSIC, PAINTING, EVENT, POETRY,
OBJECT. These works – conceptual instructions –
are the culmination of a process that dispensed
with the physical and arrived at the idea.
Since the initial publication of Grapefruit,
numerous expanded editions have been produced
The Museum of Modern Art
in many different languages. Today, first-edition
copies are nearly impossible to find. This special-
edition facsimile of that first edition, produced
from a copy of the 1964 book in The Museum
of Modern Art Library, is an exacting replica of
Grapefruit as Ono first envisioned it. Published in
conjunction with the exhibition ‘Yoko Ono: One
Woman Show, 1960–1971’, the publication is
available in a limited edition of 500 copies.
Yoko Ono is a multimedia artist, musician and performer. She was a key contributor to the Fluxus movement and worked on a number of additional projects, including the Plastic Ono Band with John Lennon.

Walid RaadEva Respini Contributions by Finbarr Barry Flood and Walid Raad
Art Monograph
200 illustrations • 30.5 x 24.1cm • 192pp
ISBN 978 0 870 709739 • October
£35.00
Published to accompany a comprehensive
exhibition of his work at MoMA, this catalogue
surveys three decades of Walid Raad’s practice
in a variety of mediums. It features his most
momentous bodies of work, beginning with
his groundbreaking project The Atlas Group
(1989–2004), to his recent sweeping work on the
history of art in the Arab world (2007–ongoing).
Essays by curators and scholars place Raad’s art
in the context of contemporary image making
in photography and video, as well as art made
in his native Lebanon since the 1960s; provide
an overview of Raad’s performance lectures in
relationship to his oeuvre; and examine Raad’s
most recent bodies of work made in the Islamic
galleries at the Louvre and Metropolitan Museum
of Art, which explores the history, collecting,
and display of historical and modern art and
artifacts from the Arab world and Iran. A special
contribution by Raad presents a fictional interview
with multiple artists, curators and writers, which
provides rare insight into the artist’s working
method and addresses various themes that run
throughout his work.
Eva Respini is the Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, and former Curator in the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Family of Man60th Anniversary Edition
Edward Steichen Prologue by Carl Sandburg
Photography
503 illustrations • 28.0 x 21.0cm • 192pp
ISBN 978 1 633 450011 • October
£22.50
Hailed as the most successful exhibition of
photography ever assembled, ‘The Family of Man’
opened at The Museum of Modern Art in January
1955. Presenting what Edward Steichen referred to
as a ‘collective portrait’ of humanity, the exhibition
featured 503 photographs from 68 countries, 273
of which were taken by amateur photographers. As
the permanent embodiment of this monumental
exhibition, this book reproduces every one of the
images that Steichen described as ‘a mirror of
the essential oneness of mankind throughout the
world. Photographs made in all parts of the world,
of the gamut of life from birth to death.’ This
hardback edition is published to celebrate the 60th
anniversary of this landmark exhibition and book.
Edward Steichen was an American photographer, painter, designer and curator. He began as a self-taught photographer and gained recognition after his work was discovered by photographers Clarence H. White and Alfred Stieglitz. Steichen’s work was often featured in Stieglitz’s influential magazine Camera Work. Steichen became the director of MoMA’s photography department in 1947. Carl Sandburg was an American writer, poet and editor. He was the recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes, one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln, and two for his poetry.

Preface by Richard Armstrong Contributions by Susan Thompson By Jennifer Blessing
Contemporary Art/Photography
135 illustrations • 26.0 x 19.8cm • 148pp
ISBN 978 0 892 075218 • flexibound • October
£32.00
This catalogue presents an important new
trend in contemporary photography, offering an
opportunity to define the concerns of a younger
generation of artists and contextualize them
within the history of art and culture. Drawing
on the legacies of conceptual and commercial
photography, these artists pursue a largely
studio-based approach to still-life photography
that centres on the representation of objects,
often printed matter such as books, magazines
and record covers. The result is images imbued
with poetic and evocative personal significance
that resonate with larger cultural and historical
meanings. Driven by a deep interest in the
medium of photography, these artists attempt to
rematerialize the photograph through meticulous
printing, using film and other disappearing
photo technologies, and by creating photo-
sculptures and installations. Artists include
Claudia Angelmaier, Erica Baum, Anne Collier,
Moyra Davey, Leslie Hewitt, Elad Lassry, Lisa
Oppenheim, Erin Shirreff, Kathrin Sonntag and
Sara VanDerBeek.
Jennifer Blessing is Senior Curator of Photography at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Alberto Burri: The Trauma of PaintingEdited by Emily Braun Contributions by Megan M. Fontanella and Carol Stringari
Art Monograph
260 illustrations • 29.3 x 24.7cm • 280pp
ISBN 978 0 892 075232 • October
£42.00
Published to accompany a major retrospective
exhibition, this title showcases the pioneering
work of Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915–1995).
Exploring the beauty and complexity of Burri’s
process-based works, it positions the artist as a
central and singular protagonist of postwar art.
Burri is best known for his series of Sacchi (sacks)
made of stitched and patched remnants of torn
burlap bags, often combined with fragments
of discarded clothing. Far less familiar are his
other series, which this book represents in depth:
Catrami (tars), Gobbi (hunchbacks), Muffe (molds),
Bianchi (whites), Legni (woods), Ferri (irons),
Combustioni plastiche (plastic combustions),
Cretti and Cellotex works.
Burri’s work both demolished and
reconfigured the Western pictorial tradition,
while reconceptualizing modernist collage.
His unprecedented approaches to manipulating
humble substances – and his abject picture-
objects – also profoundly influenced Arte Povera,
Neo-Dada and Process art.
Emily Braun is Distinguished Professor of 20th-century European and American Art at Hunter College, New York.

Class DistinctionsDutch Painting in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer

Art History
180 illustrations • 28.0 x 22.9cm • 344pp
ISBN 978 0 878 468300 • October
£40.00
The Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century
was home to one of the greatest flowerings of
painting in the history of Western art. Freed from
the constraints of royal and church patronage,
artists created a rich outpouring that circulated
through a newly open market to patrons and
customers at every level of Dutch society.
Their closely observed details of everyday
life in naturalistic portraits, genre scenes and
landscapes offer a wealth of information about
the possessions, activities and circumstances that
distinguished members of social classes, from
the nobility to the urban poor. The dazzling array
of paintings gathered here – from artists such as
Frans Hals, Jan Steen and Gerrit Dou, as well as
Rembrandt and Vermeer – illuminated by essays
by leading specialists, invite us to explore a vibrant
early modern society and its reflection in a golden
age of brilliant painting.

Contemporary art in craft media presents
a profusion of paradoxes. It bridges ancient
traditions and state-of-the-art technologies,
cutting edge concepts and enduring tenets about
skilled making, and in so doing blurs the lines
between craft and architecture, art and design.
This pioneering publication brings together work
by nearly forty international artists, whose varied
approaches are not only pushing but redefining
the boundaries of what we call craft today.
Author and museum curator Emily Zilber
investigates the role of new tools and materials; the
connection between craft and performance; and the
power of craft to interact with architecture. Along
the way, readers encounter a diverse group of works
across a wide range of materials and practices,
including 3-D printed ceramics, a dancelike
performance with molten glass and a piano
deconstructed to form jewelry that alternately
surrounds and adorns the body. Enhanced with
approachable text and abundant illustrations,
Crafted forms a tempting invitation to explore
these stunning and surprising objects in flux.

Dough PortraitsSøren Dahlgaard
Photography
350 illustrations • 30.0 x 22.5cm • 256pp
ISBN 978 1 908 970220 • October
£24.99
This visually stunning, hilarious and outlandish
book of photography presents Danish performance
and conceptual artist Søren Dahlgaard’s
ongoing series of ‘Dough Portraits’, in which he
creates absurdist portraits of people with their
heads encased in dough. Since 2008 he has
photographed more than 2,000 sitters of all ages
and backgrounds in diverse settings all over the
world. Collaboration, process and performance
are as much elements of the work as the finished
image itself, with each participant ‘co-creating’
their own portrait, first by kneading the dough,
then by placing it on their head or having it put
in place by others, and then by carefully selecting
a pose – all before of an audience of amused or
bemused onlookers.
This book reproduces in lavish detail selected
portraits from all the main projects in the series,
alongside photos and stills of the shoots as they
took place. Commentaries by some of those who
commissioned the work as well as participants
and witnesses recount their experiences, and
reflect on the various aesthetic, ethical and social
issues raised by Dahlgaard’s transformation of this
everyday material into the stuff of art.
Søren Dahlgaard (b.1973, Denmark) has had solo shows, projects and commissions at prestigious institutions and biennales all over the world.

Want MoreAlex Schneideman • Text by Paul Dolan and Harry Eyres
Photography
100 illustrations • 24.0 x 20.0cm • 144pp
ISBN 978 1 908 970237 • October
£22.50
Positioned somewhere between documentary
and art photography, Want More is a stark and
hard-hitting portrayal of 21st-century capitalism
in action. In a series of arresting, atmospheric and
beautiful images, London-based photographer
Alex Schneideman captures the numbing and
denaturing effects of mass consumerism by
photographing shoppers at large. Despite the
instant beauty of each frame, tedium, misery,
anxiety, frustration and occasional anger seem to
be the dominant emotion, as they appear ground
down by their duty to spend, spend, spend.
A text by behavioural scientist Paul Dolan
examines Schneideman’s photographs as
demonstrations of the social and psychological
effects of boundless consumerism, and the
addictive and herd-like behaviour it demands, and
evidence that as we become richer, we do not
necessarily become happier. Writer Harry Eyres
addresses what the photographs tell us about
21st-century life and considers alternatives to the
culture of constantly wanting more.
Alex Schneideman has produced two books, Hardlight and Skin, and is founding editor of the magazines Smack. Paul Dolan is Professor of Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Harry Eyres is a journalist, writer and poet. For eleven years until 2015, he wrote a column for the Financial Times titled ‘Slow Lane’.

Art Monograph

ISBN 978 1 908 970206 • July
£29.99
Coinciding with a touring exhibition, this book
is the first monograph on the acclaimed Israeli
painter Gideon Rubin. After witnessing the events
of 9/11 in New York first hand, Rubin turned his
back on his realist way of working and embarked
on a method that has become his signature
style. Using found photographs, magazines and
newspapers as his primary source material, he
paints portraits – faceless portraits. These small,
unnerving paintings of featureless figures, full of
life but empty of expression, are charming and
chilling in equal measure.
This exquisite book features high-quality
reproductions of dozens of works and numerous
photographs of the artist and the studio. Four
writers examine how Rubin both challenges
and extends the traditions of European painted
portraiture. They also consider how he employs oil
paint to stake a claim for the renewed relevance
and enduring value of the hand-crafted picture,
and to question the relative status of photography
as the supposed carrier of ‘truth’.
Gabriel Coxhead is a writer, art critic and curator based in London. Martin Herbert is a writer and critic based in Tunbridge Wells and Berlin. Aya Lurie is Director and Chief Curator of Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Herzliya, Israel.

Luc Tuymans: IntoleranceEdited by Lynne Cooke Essays by Jan Avgikos and Nick Cullinan
Art Monograph
1,000 illustrations • 29.5 x 24.0cm • 528pp
ISBN 978 9 491 819353 • October
£65.00
This catalogue is published to accompany the
major Tuymans exhibition opening in Doha, Qatar,
in October 2015. Spanning some thirty years of
the artist’s career, Intolerance speaks to abiding
preoccupations long mined by the Belgian painter
in response to a rapidly changing world. Aware
from the outset of his career that painting as an
art form was in crisis, and recognizing that the
role and ubiquity of the image in contemporary
culture was shifting in reponse to technological
developments, Tuymans took a fighting stance.
In a contrarian move, painting became for him
a vehicle through which the most urgent and
volatile issues – whether relating to history,
identity, nationalism and belief, or to social and
political events – could be eloquently probed.
This ambitious retrospective includes an
interview by the curator of the exhibition, Lynne
Cooke, essays by Jan Avgikos and Nick Cullinan,
and catalogue entries by Donna Wingate.
Organized around key themes in Tuymans’
stringent practice, it will cast new light on Luc
Tuymans’ singular trajectory.
Lynne Cooke is senior curator, special projects in modern art, at the National Gallery of Art. Nick Cullinan is the Director of the National Portrait Gallery in London. Jan Avgikos is currently a visiting critic at Yale’s School of Fine Art.

and as a young artist living in Paris, where he
began painting the abstract forms which would
later define his career. Kelly’s remarkable pace of
production during this early period resulted in an
especially diverse oeuvre, which is discussed in
depth throughout this publication. The catalogue
includes insightful texts and high-quality images
of individual works and preparatory drawings,
along with provenance information, exhibition
history and bibliographic information, making
it sure to be an irreplaceable reference tool for
institutions, collectors and admirers.

Produced in collaboration with the Calder
Foundation, this tribute to Alexander Calder
focuses on the artist’s long-standing relationship
with France, beginning in 1926. After the war,
Calder spent significant periods of time in Paris in
1946, in Aix-en-Provence in 1953, and finally in
Saché in the Loire Valley, where in 1963 he designed
his final monumental studio. In 1989, the studio
became the Atelier Calder residency programme.
The book contains copious images of Calder’s
work; interviews with Tadashi Kawamata, Abraham
Cruzvillegas and Rachel Harrison; and a selection
of images of past residents’ work, including a
special portfolio of models for new sculptures by
2014 resident Monika Sosnowska. It reproduces
pivotal essays on Calder published by Cahiers
d’Art during the artist’s lifetime, as well as texts
by Alexander S. C. Rower, Calder’s grandson and
President of the Calder Foundation. Contemporary
essays by distinguished art historians are
illustrated by photographs of Calder and his work
by Ugo Mulas and Agnès Varda.
Alexander S. C. Rower is president and founder of the Calder Foundation and Alexander Calder’s grandson.

Art Monograph

ISBN 978 2 330 050566 • paperback • July
£22.00
Published on the occasion of a new installation on
the French Riviera by renowned German land artist
Nils-Udo, this volume offers an overview of the
artist’s forty-year career. His Riviera installation –
mossy wooden rafts, installations of turf, flowers
and bamboo on the Ile Sainte-Marguerite – is fully
documented here.
Nils-Udo (b. 1937) has been working directly with nature since 1972. He turned from painting nature to creating site-specific pieces using natural materials. His stunning and lyrical artworks have appeared in Europe as well as Japan, Israel, India and Mexico.
The artist works on site using found berries, leaves, sticks, the movement of water, the growth of plants. Each piece is in response to the landscape and materials he finds around him. The beauty of nature and the gently altered landscapes revealed in Nils-Udo’s work are entrancing and mysterious. It is a seductive world of ‘potential utopias’, colourful mounds, giant nests and dreamy days in the forest. Nature is his source and inspiration.

Van Gogh DrawingsInfluences and Innovations

Art Monograph

ISBN 978 2 330 052546 • July
£22.00
This book considers the influence of other artists’
prints and drawings on Van Gogh’s graphic œuvre.
The book juxtaposes a selection of Van Gogh’s
work – some forty drawings and prints – with a
range of works that inspired him. These include
prints from illustrated magazines and 19th-
century prints, which he avidly collected and
which strongly influenced his early work, as well
as replicas of 17th-century prints, Japanese prints
and other works which inspired his remarkable
drawings with the reed pen in Provence.
Van Gogh absorbed a multitude of influences,
which combined to create drawings that are highly
innovative, not only in style but often also in
technique. The exhibition and this accompanying
publication will pay close attention to those and
other aspects of one of the most remarkable
drawn œuvres of the 19th century.
Sjraar van Heugten was Head of Collections at the Van Gogh Museum from 1999 to 2010. In 2010 he became an independent art historian. He was curator of the opening exhibition at the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles, Van Gogh: Colours of the North, Colours of the South. Most recently he curated the exhibition Van Gogh in The Borinage: The birth of an artist, which opened in Mons, Belgium, in January 2015.

With his Boîte-en-valise, or Museum in a Box,
Duchamp embarked on one of his more ambitious
projects: a portable museum of miniature replicas
and facsimiles created with the help of elaborate
reproduction techniques as pochoir (a type
of hand stencilling) and comprising his most
important works. Conceived in the mid-1930s and
consisting of up to sixty-nine items, it was first
released in 1941 and continued to be assembled in
various editions until after his death, with the final
seven different series totalling about 300 items.
This publication is a facsimile of the series D,
1961 edition. Created with the full approval of
the Duchamp Estate, it contains a reproduction of
The Large Glass on Plexiglas, colour reproductions
of his pictures, reproductions of his drawings and
a selection of his humorous texts, a glass vial
of Parisian air, a urinal, a small sugar dispenser,
‘canned chance’ and other miscellanea, all housed
in a green cardboard box.
Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

£700.00
This monumental publication maps the ideas,
processes, life and times of one of the most
important painters of our time. Conceived and
closely edited by Gerhard Richter himself, Atlas
cuts straight to the heart of the artist’s thinking,
collecting more than 5,000 photographs, drawings
and sketches that he has compiled or created
since the moment of his creative breakthrough
in 1962. Year by year, the images closely parallel
the subjects of Richter’s paintings, revealing the
orderly but open-ended analysis that has been
so central to his art. From pictures of family and
friends to images from the mass media, Richter’s
photographs – sometimes found, sometimes
original – have provided the basis for many of
his paintings, often re-emerging in a luminous,
monochromatic palette, and falling ambiguously
between documentary and historical painting.
Offering invaluable insight into Richter’s
working process, this magnificent new edition
has been newly conceptualized by the artist. An
accompanying commentary volume by Helmut
Friedel will be published in 2016.
Gerhard Richter is a German visual artist.

ISBN 978 1 935 963080 • August
£55.00
This dynamic new volume is the first major survey
to chronicle the emergence and migration of Pop
art from an international perspective, focusing
on the period from the 1950s through the early
1970s. It provides important new scholarship on
the period, examining production by artists across
the globe who were simultaneously confronting
radical cultural and political developments that
would lay the foundation for the emergence
of an art form embracing figuration, media
strategies and mechanical processes with a new
spirit of urgency and/or exuberance. International
Pop amplifies the scope and tenor of what we
understand to be ‘Pop’, exposing the tremendous
complexity of this pivotal period and subject
matter, and revealing how artists alternatively
celebrated, cannibalized, rejected or assimilated
some of the presumed qualities of Pop advanced
in the US and Britain. Anchored by a 48-page
visual chronology, the book features original texts
by Godfre Leung, Darsie Alexander, Maria Jose
Herrera, Claudia Calirman, Erica Battle, Dávid
Fehér, Luigia Lonardelli, Hiroko Ikegami, Ed Halter,

Engines of industry, expressions of ego or will, tall
towers are nonetheless – when they pierce the
shared skies – intensely public. In this volume,
Bruce Sterling describes four possible futures
that might shape future towers, presenting a
choose-your-own-adventure of potential futures
for architecture, some of them terrifying in their
nearness. We peer up at skyscrapers old and new,
visit their highest floors, turn them this way and
that to see them clearly through the psychology
(Tom Vanderbilt) and physiology (Emily Badger)
of living and working on high, and through the
lens of policy in the low-rise counterexample
of Washington, DC (Matthew Yglesias). Diana
Lind tests the idea of tall against the more
sprawling needs of industry. Will Self looks back
in literature, film and recent urban history to
write towards a new understanding of the tower
in the popular imagination. Dickson Despommier
shares a comprehensive vision of an ecological
future, in which towers, perhaps supertalls, would
necessarily play a crucial role.

ISBN 978 0 910 503822 • July
£19.95
How Posters Work is more than a standard
exhibition catalogue. Conceived as a useful and
illuminating primer in visual thinking, it explores
principles of design through a range of historical
and contemporary works, uncovering ideas
relevant not just to the design of posters but to
2D design more generally.
How Posters Work has a unique focus on
visual language. Rather than provide a history
of the genre or a compilation of collectibles, the
book is organized around active design principles.
Concepts such as ‘Simplify’, ‘Focus the eye’,
‘Exploit the diagonal’, ‘Reverse expectations’ and
‘Say two things at once’ are illustrated with a
diverse range of posters, from avant-garde classics
and rarely seen international works to pieces by
today’s leading graphic designers. Illustrated with
over 150 works from the collection of Cooper
Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, it provides
a stunning education in seeing and making,
demonstrating how some of the world’s most
creative designers have mobilized principles of
layout, composition, psychology and rhetoric to
produce powerful acts of visual communication.

As the Soviet Union struggled along the path to
Communism, food supplies were often sporadic
and shortages commonplace. Day to day living
was hard, and both the authorities and citizens
had to apply every ounce of ingenuity to
maximize often inadequate resources.
Illustrated using images sourced from original
Soviet recipe books collected by the author, this
book contains over sixty recipes from the Soviet
era, spanning such delicacies as aspic, borscht,
caviar and herring, by way of bird’s milk cake and
pelmeni. The stories and recipes contained here
reflect turbulent times. They range from basic
subsistence meals consumed by the average
citizen (okroshka), to extravagant banquets held
by the political elite (suckling pig with buckwheat),
with a smattering of classics (beef stroganoff) in
between. Many of these sometimes extraordinary-
looking pictures depict dishes whose recipes used
unobtainable ingredients, placing them firmly in
the realm of ‘aspirational’ fantasy for the average
Soviet household; they act as a window into
cuisine of the day, in turn revealing the unique
political and social attitudes of the era.

internet. Both children and adults have fun making
these little paper toys; creating a smiling robot,
comic hero, or an animal. Some collect them,
others use them to decorate their office, or to give
to friends and colleagues. Paper toys appeal to a
wide audience due to their simplicity, beauty and
originality, thus ensuring their spectacular success
worldwide. But make no mistake, it is not just
hobby involving the cutting of A4 sheets and the
gluing of a few tabs – it is an art form rooted in
origami and practised by graphic artists from all
backgrounds. It takes imagination and talent to
create these little figures in paper!
This book contains over 60 vintage designs
suitable for all abilities including cars, animals,
trains and airplanes. All that is required is a pair of
scissors, some glue and – most importantly –
a little patience…

The Japanese tea-ceremony, or Way of Tea, is
one of the most profound manifestations of
mindfulness. The ceremony, with its roots in Zen
Buddhism, dates as far back as the 15th century
and takes place within a traditional tea-ceremony
room. Here, in a fully updated edition of New Zen,
are forty outstanding examples of contemporary
Japanese tea rooms, many located within private
homes. The book highlights all aspects of the
subject – the design, architecture, garden design
and the ceremony itself. And with many different
materials featured, it is itself an inspirational
sourcebook for modern homes.
Every tea-ceremony room included is by a
well-known artist, designer or architect, making
this a unique compendium of the best modern
interior design in Japan – designs by Kengo
Kuma, Kisho Kurokawa, Terunobu Fujimori, Takashi
Sugimoto and Shigeru Uchida. In these pages you
can glimpse the rare world of Japanese mindful
design, modern interpretations of the fascinating
tea room – an empty space designed for
meditation, contemplation and the appreciation
of the art of tea drinking.

Palm Beach interiors have long reflected the
travels, penchants and whimsies of the town’s
worldly inhabitants. But as property on this tiny
barrier island becomes increasingly valuable,
residents are calling upon world-class designers to
help fine-tune their visions, giving rise to a fresh
tropical design vernacular.
Palm Beach Chic captures the enduring charm
of newly restored seaside fantasies by Mizner,
Fatio and Volk, celebrated for their Cuban coquina
courtyards and soaring miradors overlooking
tiled pools and arching fountains. Jennifer Ash
Rudick leads an insider’s tour of twenty-five
houses, cottages, Moorish casbahs, artists’
compounds, and Mad Men-era vintage condos.
Jessica Klewicki captures extraordinary gardens,
verandas, lakeside pavilions, a rustic ranch,and
simple pastel Bermudan houses sheltered by dense
thickets of Norfolk pines and age-old banyans. It
is this eclectic mix of old and new, of Spanish and
Caribbean, of contemporary design and sun-faded
WASP thrift, that makes Palm Beach chic.
Jennifer Ash Rudick is a writer and editor who has spent years in Palm Beach. She is the author of Tropical Style: Private Palm Beach, which has been reprinted numerous times since its publication in 1992, and a contributing editor to Veranda magazine.

Berlin, the capital city of Germany, can be seen
as a 25-year-old city. Following the fall of the
Berlin Wall in 1989, the city’s identity evolved to
be modern, tolerant and at times even eccentric.
This identity was forged by the reunion of two
close but disparate populations. On one side,
Berliners lived in a city of right angles: grey, dull,
comfortless, with uniformity as dogma. On the
other, the architecture was more traditional and
eclectic, and the lifestyle much more comfortable.
Today, thanks to the successful reunification,
Berlin is becoming one of the most visited
capitals in Europe. In his Berlin Sketchbook, artist

Artist Alison Turnbull first encountered this
secluded idyll several years ago. Since then, she and
writer Philip Hoare have visited several times and
got to know the garden, and the otherwise private
Taggarts, well. Another Green World is their lyrical
portrait of this enchanted and enchanting place.
Turnbull’s intimate photographs and her drawings
are complemented by Ruth Clark’s stunning double-
page photos of the plants in all their seasonal
variety. Hoare’s evocative account of a visit weaves
its way through these arresting images, taking us on
a walk through the garden and house as if we were
actually there. Completing this volume are botanist
Ian Edwards’ appreciation of Linn’s importance and
a separate appendix listing every plant type found
in the garden. It was the younger Taggart, Jamie,
who composed this list until he disappeared on a
plant-finding expedition to Vietnam in November
2013. He has never been seen since.
Alison Turnbull is an artist. Philip Hoare is an award-winning writer and broadcaster.

Situated beside a Scottish loch, Linn Botanic Gardens
is a horticultural treasure trove that is home to
300 rhododendron species and thousands of exotic
plants. Carefully constructed over forty years by Jim
and Jamie Taggart, the garden is shaped by the subtle
interplay of science and art, botany and design,
mathematics and theatre. At its heart stands Linn
Villa, the Victorian house that appears to have lain
untouched for decades.

The garden designer George Carter, a Gold
Medallist at the Chelsea Flower Show, is noted for
his subtle and witty approach to garden design.
Presently engaged in restoring the gardens at
the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, he has designed
and made gardens for Burleigh, Penshurst and
other stately homes, together with many smaller
gardens, all using ingenious ideas for their
embellishment and decoration. He also designs
the annual exhibition at Buckingham Palace.
Garden Magic has been photographed in his
own beautiful Norfolk garden, which exemplifies
his approach to garden design. In it, George not
only shows how he created the garden but also
– in lavish photographs by Harry Cory Wright –
demonstrates quick and easy ways to decorate
and transform your garden with originality and
paint. From urns to statues and cut-outs, to
humble flowerpots and chain store-bought garden
sheds, George’s ideas bring the theatre to the
garden in the best possible way.
George Carter is a leading garden designer. He is a multiple Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medallist.

Cuban Music in Revolution: 70 Years of Cuban Record Cover ArtStuart Baker
Popular Culture
400 illustrations • 30.0 x 30.0cm • 208pp
ISBN 978 0 957 260054 • October
£30.00
From the vibrant and exciting imagery of
pre-Revolution Cuba and the social realist and
geometric abstract art designs of the 1960s, to
folkloric Afro-Cuban roots styles, 1970s and 80s
salsa, jazz and more, this book brings together
a stunning collection of Cuban record cover art,
most of which has never been seen outside the
island itself.
During the 20th century, Cuban music
developed at a fast rate with a seemingly endless
variety of styles, the most profound being the
Rumba, Mambo and Son, which became the basis
of Salsa – a musical form that blazed through
Latin America, West Africa and North America.
Bandleader Machito set New York’s jazz scene on
fire, while Chano Pozo’s entry into Dizzy Gillespie’s
group led to the birth of Latin Jazz. Other figures
such as Mario Bauza, Mongo Santamaria, Celia
Cruz, Arsenio Rodriguez, Isreal ‘Cachao’ Lopez
all first made their mark in Cuba. This glorious
collection of record cover art forms a cohesive
visual collection of a musical form in an almost
constant state of flux.
Stuart Baker is the founder of Soul Jazz Records.

In 1977, at the height of the disco craze, a club
opened at 254 West 54th Street in New York
City. Studio 54 was – and, arguably, remains – the
world’s most renowned and legendary disco.
Regularly attended by celebrities such as Andy
Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Bianca
Jagger, Jerry Hall, Debbie Harry, Grace Jones,
Michael Jackson, Calvin Klein, Elton John, John
Travolta, Brooke Shields and Tina Turner, the
club fostered an atmosphere of unadulterated
hedonism for New York’s art and fashion set. Hasse
Persson and his camera were frequent club guests
from 1977–80. The images he photographed
there have become legendary, capturing the club’s
famed revellers, dancers in costume and general,
drunken exhilaration – and yet, incredibly, Studio
54 marks the first time in history that they have
seen publication. Almost thirty-five years after
the club’s unceremonious and sudden closure, this
beautiful hardback volume superbly documents
the zeitgeist.
Hasse Persson has had a long career as a photojournalist. Though Swedish born, he spent nearly a quarter century, from 1967 to 1990, working in New York. He worked as the artistic director of the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg and today he is the artistic director of Strandverket Konsthall in Marstrand, Sweden.

Like so many stops on a long journey across the
Bella Paesa, Italia Metafisica is a collection of
images that George Tatge has made over decades
of living and working in Italy – its countryside,
its cities, its history, its many transformations.
Tatge’s eye is attentive, measured, both cultured
and passionate. And the Italy that he photographs
for us reveals the fascination and mystery of its
magnificent and still so fragile equilibrium.
George Tatge has exhibited his work throughout the world. Carlo Sisi was until 2006 Director of the Palazzo Pitti Gallery of Modern Art in Florence. Diego Mormorio is an essayist, historian and photography critic.

50 illustrations • 21.0 x 15.0cm • 120pp
ISBN 978 8 869 656118 • October
£19.00
In a lengthy conversation with Francesco Zanot,
Guido Guidi looks back over his artistic career,
from his beginnings in design and his architectural
studies, to his subsequent collaboration with some
of the world’s most famous museums. Author of
precise and rational images, the photographer here
recounts the genesis of his work and its principal
points of reference, broadening the discussion
in directions apparently distant and unrelated,
ranging from Zen philosophy to Renaissance
painting, from Surrealism to contemporary
theatre. The book, organized on the basis of key
themes in Guidi’s investigation, thus unfolds
in a series of cross-references and influences,
overlaps and quotations, in the conviction that
no discipline, and in particular photography, can
exist independently of any other. The tone of
the discussion is apparently light, marked by the
rhythm of memories and brief anecdotes, since,
like the rest of his work, the substance of Guidi’s
words does not lie on the surface, but comes from
a remarkable depth.
Francesco Zanot is a photography critic and curator. Guido Guidi has taught photography at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Ravenna since 1989. His photographs have been exhibited internationally.

Self & Others is an almost twenty-year
culmination of portrait photographs captured
by award-winning photographer Aline Smithson.
Beginning with her early forays into black and
white work, produced as darkroom silver gelatin
prints, she photographed the world around her
considering the poignancy of childhood and
the pathos of aging and relationships. The book
continues with her hand-painted photographs
featuring her defining series, Arrangement in
Green and Black: Portrait of the Photographer’s
Mother, where she combines humour and family
to create a universal expression of motherhood.
The book is completed by her colour projects that
revisit beauty, the essence of childhood, and an
examination of created realities. At the heart of
Aline’s work is her ability to recognize the inner
self of her subjects; she considers all her portraits
a reflection of herself and the stories she wants
to tell, and in that way, she has created a visual
language that is her own unique autobiography.
Paula Tognarelli is Executive Director of The Griffin Museum of Photography, Boston. Karen Sinshelmer is Curator of Photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California. Aline Smithson is represented by galleries in the US and Europe and published throughout the world.

‘In 2010, I set up a camera to take a self-portrait
in Times Squares in New York City. After I had
the film developed, I looked at the images and
found that a man was standing behind me and
appeared to be sneering at me. I never thought
that I would capture a glance that can last a
microsecond. Since then, I have been setting up a
camera in public to see if I can capture the gazes
of the strangers who walk by me while I am doing
everyday, mundane acts. I then look at the images
to see if anyone who passed by me had a critical
or questioning look on their face or in their body
language. I present the images to the world to
start a conversation. While I do not know what the
passer-by is thinking, I attempt to reverse the gaze
back onto the stranger’ Haley Morris-Cafeiro
Haley Morris-Cafiero is an Associate Professor and Assistant Dean at Memphis College of Art.

Los Angeles is a city of dualities – sunshine and
noir, coastline beaches and urban grit, natural
beauty and suburban sprawl, the obvious and the
hidden. Both Sides of Sunset reveals these dualities
and more, in images by master photographers
such as Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, Daido
Moriyama, Julius Shulman and Garry Winogrand,
as well as many younger artists, among them
Matthew Brandt, Katy Grannan, Alex Israel, Lise
Sarfati and Ed Templeton. Taken together, these
individual views by more than 130 artists form
a collective vision of a place where myth and
reality are often indistinguishable. Spinning off
the highly acclaimed Looking at Los Angeles, Both
Sides of Sunset presents an updated and equally
unromantic vision of this complex metropolis.
It showcases many of the artists featured in the
original book – such as Lewis Baltz, Catherine Opie
and Stephen Shore – but also incorporates new
images that portray a city that is at once unhinged
and driven by irrepressible exuberance.
Jane Brown is Vice President, National Accounts Director, Artbook|DAP. Marla Hamburg Kennedy is a consultant, advisor and major photography collector. David L. Ulin is book critic of the Los Angeles Times. Ed Ruscha is an American artist.
