William Kentridge - Milestones: At the Heart of Creation
A new title of Skira's new series Milestones: At the Heart of Creation, dedicated to today's greatest living artists.
Skira's new series Milestones is a collection of books devoted to today's greatest living artists. More than retrospectives, Milestones are comprehensive excursions into the daily life and work of exceptional living artists and provide a rare backstage glimpse at their art. Each volume of the series presents one or more intimate interviews with the artist by a curator or a fellow artist, an essay by a renowned author, and the artist's biography.

Born in Johannesburg in 1955, William Kentridge is internationally renowned for the expressionism of his work in numerous media (charcoal, printmaking, sculpture and film), as well as his acclaimed theatrical and operatic productions. As elusive as it is allusive, Kentridge's art is shaped by apartheid and grounded in the politics of the post-apartheid era, and in science, literature and history.

Ateliér radostné tvorby/ Atelier of Joyful Creativity in Prague
Čistá radost z tvorby, která boří zažité předsudky. Působivý obrazový průřez současnou českou scénou art brut a outsider art v jedné výpravné knize.
Tato výpravná kniha je jednou z vůbec prvních publikací, jež uceleně mapuje současné české tvůrce v oblasti tzv. umění v surovém stavu (art brut) a outsider art. Představuje díla dvou desítek neškolených umělkyň a umělců z pražského Ateliéru radostné tvorby, který vznikl v roce 2013 a úzce spolupracuje s galerií Art brut Praha. Všichni zastoupení tvůrci vynikají nezaměnitelným projevem a mnozí – například Karel Pajma, Dagmar Filípková, Ladislav Svoboda, Marie Kůsová či George Radojčić – už zaznamenali ohlas i na mezinárodní scéně. Ačkoliv se potýkají s různými znevýhodněními, kniha neklade důraz na jejich diagnózy, ale dává plný prostor jejich ničím nezatížené a svobodné představivosti.
Doprovodnými texty v češtině a angličtině knihu opatřil její editor Jaromír Typlt, vedle něhož přispěli i Vladimír Drábek, Jan H. Vitvar a Piotr Gierowski. Těžištěm publikace jsou ovšem kvalitní barevné reprodukce maleb, kreseb a dalších výtvarných děl.

Keith Haring in 3D
A fresh perspective on the work of Keith Haring - one of the world’s most beloved contemporary artists - with a special focus on his three-dimensional work
From the moment he landed in NYC in 1978, Keith Haring took three-dimensional objects - whether discards on the street, household appliances, or subway walls - as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies inspired creative connections beyond the boundaries of the art world: Haring collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an now-famous session during which he made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. Although his career was brief, Keith Haring’s sculpture practice was a significant and integral facet of his extensive oeuvre, with his three-dimensional artworks found in museums and art collections worldwide.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Keith Haring in 3Dilluminates this rarely explored dimension of Haring’s work, and its role in his enduring legacy. The book’s generous format and engaging design, including more than 350 illustrations, invites readers to immerse themselves in the world Haring created. Featuring archival photographs of Haring at work, stunning reproductions of his art in three dimensions, and a trove of essays by respected curators, scholars, and collectors, Keith Haring in 3D celebrates in stunning detail the buoyant, brilliant work of one of the world’s most iconic artists.
Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint painted as though she was channeling the universe. Fascinated from childhood by botany and mathematics, she began her career painting landscapes and portraits, but other preoccupations stirred within her: questions of spirit, unseen energies, patterns too vast for the eye alone.
Her art was inseparable from her spiritual practice. With a circle of female artists called The Five, she held séances, heard voices from "High Masters," and was inspired by the Theosophical Society and Rudolf Steiner’s theories. Working tirelessly to map life’s hidden dimensions, she would paint to the point of physical collapse.
By 1906, her canvases featured radiant geometries of spirals and orbs, impregnated with symbols, letters, and words, anticipating the later embrace of abstraction by Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, and others. Her vast painted cycles?like her works for the Temple and The Ten Largest?often depicted dualities: inside and out, the earthly and the esoteric, man and woman, good and evil.
Living as a vegetarian, questioning the fixity of gender, af Klint was clearly before her time, yet very much of it too, and pretty much uncelebrated in her day. Her prodigious output lay unseen for decades, locked away by her own instruction. Only in the 1980s did the world begin to recognize her as a true pioneer of abstract art.
This book invites you into her visionary world, via a luminous selection of her works and a detailed essay distilling their complexity. Her once-secret universe is revealed to us anew.

Raphael. Paintings, Frescoes, Tapestries. 45th Ed.
Raphael (1483–1520) is considered the most important artist of the Italian High Renaissance alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo. In his short lifetime he created around one hundred paintings and numerous frescoes, including nine fresco cycles, on an unsurpassed variety of themes – from sensual female beauties, antique myths and portraits of wealthy Romans and church dignitaries to history cycles and biblical scenes. He produced altarpieces, as well as designing tapestries for the Sistine Chapel. His Sistine Madonna is one of the most frequently reproduced religious paintings of all time.
Raphael was a tireless learner, for whom there could be no standing still, no repetition of tried and tested solutions, but only the constant forward thrust of an inexhaustible imagination. He transformed his central theme, the visionary experience of divine grace, into visible pictorial reality. It was his mature work in Rome, and above all the frescoes in the Vatican Palace, that secured him his place in art history. Admired even during his own lifetime as the most modern artist of his day, Raphael’s mastery would pave the way for Mannerism and the Baroque era.
Chinese Propaganda Posters. 45th Ed.
With his smooth, warm, ruddy face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the People’s Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s.
Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (aka the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men and “masculinized” women and children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing. The goal of each poster was to show the Chinese people what sort of behavior was considered morally correct and how great the future of Communist China would be if everyone followed the same path toward utopia by uniting together.
This book brings together a selection of colorful propaganda artworks and cultural artifacts of Chinese propaganda posters, many of which are now extremely rare.
Colour Unbound: Henri Matisse 1941–1954
1941 marked a turning point in the life and work of Henri Matisse. At the age of seventy-two, he underwent major surgery that left him physically fragile. Yet Matisse viewed this moment not as a setback but as an opportunity 'to make the greatest progress of my life'. From that point until his death in 1954, he entered one of the most inspired and productive periods of his career. During those years, he created some of his greatest masterpieces - from the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence to his luminous cut-out gouaches, including Jazz. Vibrant and full of life, his late work stands in striking contrast to his declining physical state: dynamic, immediate and universally accessible.
Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Grand Palais, this catalogue brilliantly captures this late burst of creative vitality. Elegantly designed and beautifully printed, it brings together superb full-page reproductions of Matisse's artworks alongside rarely seen photographs of his studio, taken by renowned photographers such as Adant, Capa, Carone, Cartier-Bresson, Sima and Maywald. This visual dialogue - enriched by expert commentary - offers a deeper understanding of Matisse's final years and vividly conveys the synergy between art and life.
Skulls: Art In Bone
Long associated with cultural narratives, the skull has served as a powerful symbol throughout history, representing danger, death, and even rebellion, famously emblazoned on pirate flags and warning signs.
This striking collection showcases a diverse range of interpretations, from intricate illustrations to sculptural installations, celebrating the skull's enduring allure in art. Featuring a mix of media and styles, the book captures the profound, the playful, and the poetic dimensions of skull-inspired creativity. Skulls: Art In Bone offers an unparalleled exploration of how artists reimagine the skull as a canvas, creating works that range from the macabre to the majestic.
Výtvarné Brno Igora Zhoře (1957–1997)
Proč právě Igor Zhoř?
Neměla být spíše vytvořena kniha Výtvarné Brno Adolfa Kroupy? Nebo Dalibora Chatrného? Kniha „Výtvarné Brno Igora Zhoře 1957–1997“ sleduje podstatné vývojové kroky v uměleckém životě několika desetiletí a ukazuje, že to byl právě teoretik Igor Zhoř, kdo se naprosto zásadně podílel na mnoha důležitých aktivitách. Společně s tehdejším ředitelem Domu umění města Brna založil sdružení Mladí přátelé výtvarného umění, s Ivanem Rullerem a Vladimírem Preclíkem se zasloužil o vznik Fakulty výtvarných umění Vysokého učení technického v Brně, stál u zrodu Galerie mladých, byl spoluzakladatelem a prvním kurátorem Galerie Jaroslava Krále, zakládal umělecké skupiny a napsal skvělé knihy, jimiž hned několika generacím zájemců otevíral přístupové cesty k problematice aktuálního umění.
Naše kniha s pomocí bohatého obrazového materiálu přináší pohled na širší dobové souvislosti a snaží se kriticky vymezit, které z aktivit Igora Zhoře žijí i v současné době. V březnu 2025 je to sto let od jeho narození.
Anselm Kiefer - Becoming the Ocean
Since the late 1960s, Anselm Kiefer has explored the profound depths of human history through his work. For his first American retrospective in twenty years, he takes the river as a metaphor for the flux of life and passage of time. Breathtaking new landscapes join iconic works to celebrate the achievements of his nearly sixty-year career.
Becoming the Sea explores Kiefer’s remarkable body of work. From his early evocative landscapes of postwar Europe to his later, monumental canvases on themes of destruction and regeneration, Kiefer’s oeuvre challenges our understanding of history and memory. Catalogue highlights include previously unpublished artist writings, lavish illustrations and contributions by writers who inspired Kiefer’s famously literary art.
Renoir - An Intimate Biography
'A magnificent success ... it will remain a point of reference for years to come' Sophie Renoir
The joy that permeates Renoir's paintings emerged from the heart of a deeply complex man. Even his close friends and family members were baffled by the contradictions that defined him. In Renoir: An Intimate Biography, Barbara Ehrlich White, the world's leading authority on the artist's life and work, brings a lifetime of research to bear - challenging misconceptions around Renoir's reputation to provide an unparalleled account of this great Impressionist artist, in both his own words and those of his friends.
Uniquely intimate, this biography is interspersed with over one thousand excerpts of letters by, to, and about Renoir - 452 of which come from previously unpublished letters. These firsthand accounts offer an extraordinary window into Renoir's world, bringing us into direct contact with Renoir not only as a groundbreaking artist but as a devoted friend and father, too.
