About Face
A unique survey of 350 artworks by a global and diverse array of LGBTQ+ artists – many underrecognized and overlooked – from the last 50 years
Though the Stonewall Riots might now be shorthand for the start of the gay rights movement, so much of art and culture has been 'queer' since the beginning of time. In About Face, art historian and curator Jonathan D. Katz explores this concept head-on, curating a tapestry of works that connect historical threads and reveal how gender and sexual identity have been interwoven by artists contemporaneous to and since Stonewall. With more than 350 artworks by over 40 LGBTQ+ artists across nationalities and generations, and original texts by artists and scholars, About Face is as stunning as it is important.
The Story of Contemporary Art
A lively introduction to and history of international contemporary art from 1960 to the present.
What does it mean?
Is it really art?
Why does it cost so much?
While these questions are perpetually asked about contemporary art, they are not the questions that E. H. Gombrich set out to answer in his seminal book The Story of Art. Contemporary art is very different from what came before. From the 1960s, where Gombrich’s account concludes, artists began to abandon traditional forms of art and started to make work that questioned art’s very definition. This is where Godfrey picks up the story.
Developments in contemporary art have followed no straightforward line of progress or sequence of movements. Recognizing this, Tony Godfrey creates a narrative from a series of often dramatic creative conflicts and arguments around what art is or should be. From object versus sculpture and painting versus conceptual to local versus global, gallery versus wider world, The Story of Contemporary Art traces a history in terms of drastic changes in social and political life over the last sixty years.
How do we experience being human in a world that seems to change so quickly? In exploring art’s relationship to this question, Godfrey asserts that multiple voices must be heard: critics, theorists, curators and collectors, but also audiences and artists themselves. Key to the book is the story of how a perception that art was made almost exclusively by white men from North America and Western Europe has been radically overturned. Compelling and intelligent, but never academic, this book tells us how.
Umění z temnot
Melancholie, děs a morbidnost. Od snů a nočních můr k otázkám smrtelnosti, zkaženosti i zkázy, k bohům a příšerám. Tato kniha znepokojuje, staví nás tváří v tvář obavám, strachu a přízračné skutečnosti. Nalezneme v ní více než 200 pečlivě vybraných uměleckých děl, mezi jejichž autory patří Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keeffe, Francisco de Goya, Hieronymus Bosch, Leonora Carrington, John Everett Millais, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Vincent van Gogh, Barbara Hepworth nebo Edvard Munch.
S. Elizabeth, autorka této vizuálně bohaté knihy, zkoumá umělecká díla prostřednictvím promyšleného, sugestivního textu. Nepřestává se ptát, jakým způsobem se k temným stránkám vztahovat, zkoumá spojitosti mezi vysokou citlivostí, kreativitou, úzkostmi, duševními chorobami, šílenstvím. Zabývá se tajemnými a zpustlými krajinami, které po staletí lákají k osamělému přemýšlení či snění. Dozvíme se, jakým způsobem se proměňoval způsob zobrazování duchů a jiných nadpřirozených bytostí. Můžeme sledovat vlivy evropského romantismu až do počátku jednadvacátého století, zamýšlet se nad estetikou ošklivého či zlého a nově výtvarná díla nazírat z úhlu pohledu, který nabídl Georges Braque, když prohlásil: „Umění je zranění proměněné ve světlo.“

Stavíme knižní vazbu
Knížka je hledáním východiska pro nové pojetí výuky knižní vazby. Toto pojetí je zaměřeno na výuku konstrukce knižní vazby jako na výuku estetického prvku uměleckořemeslného objektu. Knižní vazba je představena jako stavebnice z jednotlivých konstrukčních prvků, ty jsou definovány na základě rozboru historických knižních vazeb. Představeny jsou zejména konstrukce knižních vazeb z prvního tisíciletí našeho letopočtu, kdy byl zahájen a v podstatě i ukončen vývoj knižní vazby do podoby, jakou známe dnes. Popis konstrukce se týká zejména knižní vazby sestavené ze složek, která vznikla v západním civilizačním okruhu, a knižní vazby sestavené z dvoulistů, původem z Číny. Vývoj konstrukce knižní vazby je uveden do širších historických souvislostí. Publikace popisuje konfrontaci knižní vazby Východu a Západu, která dala vzniknout novým formám konstrukce a konstrukčních prvků. Grafika a ruční vazba Jan Hybner.

Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death
An authoritative new publication that revisits Edvard Munch’s work in its entirety.
Edvard Munch occupies a pivotal place in artistic modernity. His work is permeated by a singular vision of the world, with a powerful symbolist dimension that goes beyond the masterpieces he created in the 1890s. For Munch, humanity and nature were united in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, which is reflected in the recurrence of certain motifs and color combinations in his work. He wrote: “These paintings, which are, admittedly, relatively difficult to understand, will be...easier to grasp if they are integrated into a whole.”
Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay, Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death presents about a hundred works?paintings, drawings, prints, and engraved blocks?reflecting the diversity of Munch’s practice. Seven essays explore the artist in his philosophical and scientific milieu and the places that shaped the man and his art, as well as offering a rare glimpse of Munch’s attempts at creative writing. They also examine the historical evolution of his monumental Frieze of Life series and the world-famous Scream. This publication invites readers to revisit the painter’s work in its entirety by following the thread of an ever-inventive pictorial thinking: a vision that is both fundamentally coherent, even obsessive, and at the same time constantly renewed.

Gustav Klimt: The Interiors
This unique and utterly fascinating appreciation of Gustav Klimt's oeuvre reveals some of his most famous works in their original settings and offers valuable historic insight into his artistic vision.
Interior design was supremely important to Gustav Klimt, and many of his paintings were created for specific settings or spaces. This aspect of Klimt's practice comes beautifully to life in this book that illustrates how some of the artist's most beloved canvases appeared in situ-in private dining rooms and salons, galleries, museums, and public exhibition spaces.
Works such as the portraits of Emilie Flöge and Hermine Gallia, the shocking Nuda Veritas, and landscapes A Morning by the Pond and The Tall Poplar I are presented in double-page spreads. Full-color reproductions of paintings by Klimt are juxtaposed with black-and-white vintage photographs of the original interiors with the featured paintings overlaid in color.
Thoughtful and personal texts by Klimt scholar Tobias Natter accompany each spread, providing invaluable contextual insight about how these pictures were conceived as part of the interior design of their respective rooms and spaces, and the passionate collectors who first owned these pictures.
Meticulously produced and packaged, this book provides a refreshing perspective on Klimt's oeuvre and artistic vision.

Niko Pirosmani
A Legendary Artist Revisited Unknown to many, Niko Pirosmani is revered as a legend in his native Georgia. Conveying a sense of poignant empathy, his portraits, animal paintings, landscapes and scenes from everyday life painted around 1900 in a flourishing Tbilisi draw on medieval iconography and testify to a deeply felt sense of belonging. At the same time, the avant-garde recognised a novel and radically new form of painting in his work.
Like Henri Rousseau or Marc Chagall, Pirosmani is one of the exceptional yet difficult to categorize proponents of early modern art. This catalogue demonstrates Pirosmani's qualities in numerous illustrations, showing how his rapid brushstrokes on black oilcloth give the sparsely applied colors a glow as if coming from a dark depth. Pirosmani was a master of concentration-and a storyteller.
As expertly explained in the catalogue by a selection of Georgian art historians, he was a unique artist, a contradictory figure and an important part of the art scene in Tbilisi, then considered the "Paris of the East."
Ciao, Velence!: Velence legpikánsabb évszázada
Velence - Európa Las Vegasa. Furán hangzik, ugye? Pedig tényleg számtalan színes, érdekes, néha pedig megbotránkoztató dolog történt itt az 1700-as években, ahová e könyv lapjain utazunk.
Derítsük ki, milyen érdekességekről adtak hírt - akár vicces vagy épp fontoskodó hangnemben - a Köztársaság kémei! Ismerkedjünk közelebbről Casanova alakjával - történetében előkerülnek a bizarrul hangzó higanykúrák és a szifilisz, sőt még az óvszerek is! Nem maradhat el a kaszinók bemutatása sem, ahol a szerencsejáték mellett az önfeledt szexuális élmények, titkos légyottok is fontos szerepet játszottak.
A kíváncsi olvasó beleveszhet a karneváli forgatagba, és még farsangi fánkra is ácsingózhat - emellett arra is fény derül, hogy a ciao, mint köszönés, szintén velencei gyökerekkel bír.
Ikonikus festőművészeket, furcsa sorsú paloták történeteit, a színházi világ változásait és a kasztráltak szárnyaló dalnoki népszerűségét is megidézzük a könyv lapjain.
Bepillantunk az Arzenálba, hisz itt készültek a Köztársaság kecses gályái, amelyek tengeri mérföldek ezreit szelték át, hogy a legkülönfélébb egzotikus fűszerekkel, drágakövekkel, színes-mintás kelmékkel, teákkal és ki tudja, még milyen specialitásokkal megrakva térjenek haza Velencébe.
Miféle változásokat hozott a könyvnyomtatás elterjedése Velencében, vagy épp hogyan született meg a ma is ismert kurzív betűtípus, az Italic? Hogyan esett jókora késésbe a velencei közkönyvtár építése? Miért szorultak ki végül a főtérről a korábban ott lévő pici hotelek, a húspiac, a kis mozgó árusok és a latrinák? Megannyi színes történet!
S akinek még ez sem elég, az kaphat ízelítőt a divat és a parókák igen különleges, korabeli világából, vagy beleshet a ma már 300 éves múltra visszatekintő, népszerű velencei kávéházba, a Caffe Florianba is.
Hiroshige: Nature and the City
- The most extensive survey of Hiroshige's oeuvre in English to date
- For the first time all textual content in Hiroshige's prints is transcribed and translated
- Provides essential comparative material for every scholar, dealer, and collector
Hiroshige. Nature and the City is the most extensive overview of the career of the famed Japanese print artist, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) in the English language to date. It is based on the largest collection of Hiroshige in private hands outside Japan, the Alan Medaugh collection. The catalogue consists of 500 entries, with an emphasis on urban and rural landscapes, fan prints and prints of birds and flowers. Grouped chronologically by subject, it presents Hiroshige's interpretation of the urban scenes from his hometown Edo (present-day Tokyo), the great series documenting travel along the famous highways of Japan, and the idylls of nature as represented in his bird-and flower prints. Hiroshige often incorporated poetry in his works and for the first time all textual content is transcribed and translated. Additionally, the catalogue pays due attention to the differences between variant editions of his prints. Thus, it provides essential comparative material for every scholar, dealer, and collector.
Earthly Delights: A History of the Renaissance
A Sunday Times Art Book of the Year: written by one of the UK's foremost art critics, this new narrative history of the Renaissance takes in the whole of Europe and its global context.
What was the 'Renaissance'? In the nineteenth century this flowering of creativity and thought was celebrated as the birth of the modern world. Today many historians are sceptical about its very existence. Earthly Delights rekindles the Renaissance as a seismic change in European mentalities, in a panoramic history that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London and Nuremberg. Artists from northern as well as southern Europe, including Leonardo, Bosch, Bruegel and Titian, star in a captivating and beautifully illustrated narrative that sets their lives against a period of convulsive change across a continent that was finding itself as it 'discovered' the world.
Art critic and writer Jonathan Jones tells the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers and 'geniuses', a Renaissance concept. Albrecht Dürer gazes with wonder on Aztec art in Brussels in 1520, Leonardo da Vinci tries to perfect a flying machine, Hieronymus Bosch finds inspiration in West African ivory carvings imported by the Portuguese to Antwerp. A then unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, arrives in 1550s Rome just as Michelangelo is striving in the same city to raise the new St Peter's Basilica towards heaven. From Atlantic voyages to Germanic woods, Italian palazzi to the royal castle of Prague, this was an age when people dared to experiment with the occult and dabble in utopias: to think and create new worlds.
A Way of Living
The bestselling and critically acclaimed monograph on one of the most influential painters of the twentieth century
Willem de Kooning was a leading exponent of Abstract Expressionism. MoMA's 2011 de Kooning retrospective drew record crowds, and his prodigious achievements continue to provoke and inspire subsequent generations of artists such as Cecily Brown, Rebecca Warren, and Jonathan Lasker.
This is the most wide-ranging and comprehensive monograph available on this artist. Sumptuously illustrated and produced, the book encompasses his major works and periods, including his controversial 'Woman' paintings, as well as a wealth of accompanying sketches and preparatory drawings.
An illustrated chronology maps de Kooning's life, career, and work, with photographs from the artist's archive interspersed throughout the book, enriching the reader's understanding of the wider art-historical context of his paintings. Judith Zilczer's critically acclaimed monograph is an essential addition to the libraries of a new audience of readers and de Kooning enthusiasts, offering an unprecedented and compelling examination of his body of work.
Tizenkét császár
Hogyan fest a hatalom arca? Kit örökít meg a művészet, és miért? Hogyan tekintünk olyan politikusok szobrára, akiket emberként megvetünk?
Ebben a könyvben Mary Beard – a mai emlékműszobrászatot övező esztétikai és politikai csetepaték háttere előtt – elmeséli, hogy az elmúlt kétezer év folyamán a nyugati világ hatalmasainak arcmásait hogyan befolyásolta a római császárok ábrázolása.
A világhírű ókortörténész, az SPQR és a Pompeji című könyvek szerzője főképpen a „tizenkét cézár” – Julius Caesar és az első tizenegy császár – alakjára összpontosítva elemzi, hogy ezek a könyörtelen autokraták miképpen váltak hatalmassá az antik, a reneszánsz és az újkori művészetben is.
E gazdagon illusztrált kötet kétezer éves utazásra kalauzol a művészet- és művelődéstörténet világában. Szobrászok és festők alkotásai mellett találkozhatunk ötvösök, kárpitszövők, rézmetszők, műbútorasztalosok és keramikusok munkáival is, továbbá számos meglepő történetet olvashatunk alakok véletlen vagy szándékos félreazonosításáról, hamisításról, az erő, az uralom többértelmű reprezentációjáról. A Tizenkét cézár mindemellett izgalmas detektívtörténet a hatalom ábrázolásának leginkább nyugtalanító és állásfoglalásra késztető példáiról.
An Atlas of Es Devlin
An Atlas of Es Devlin, the first monograph on artist Es Devlin's genre-defying practice, is an experiential publication encompassing art, activism, theatre, poetry, music, dance, opera and sculpture.
Publisher's note: Our first print run of The Atlas of Es Devlin has sold through in record time and we are currently reprinting. Further copies will become available in December with more stock then due in early 2024.
Devlin's protean work is rooted in a life-long practice of reading and drawing. From sketches in the margins of texts, be they poetry, drama, song lyrics, opera libretti, climate reports or endangered species lists, emerge the technically advanced, collectively imagined universes for which she is globally renowned. Fragile miniature paintings, paper cuts and small mechanical cardboard models form the seeds of some of the most iconic, large-scale, multi-disciplinary cultural manifestations in recent times, from public sculptures and installations at Tate Modern, Serpentine, V&A, Barbican, Imperial War Museum and the Lincoln Center, to kinetic stage designs at the Royal Opera House, the Royal Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala and the National Theatre, as well as Olympic Ceremonies, Super-Bowl half-time shows, and monumental illuminated stage sculptures for Beyonce, The Weeknd, U2, Rosalía, Dr Dre and Kendrick Lamar.
Devlin's work is at once deeply personal and inherently collective. Over the past decade her art practice has engaged with biodiversity, linguistic diversity and collective AI-generated poetry. She views the audience as a temporary society and encourages profound cognitive shifts by inviting public participation in communal choral works.
Published in association with a retrospective exhibition opening at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York in November 2023, An Atlas of Es Devlin is a unique, sculptural volume of over 900 pages, including foldouts, cut-outs, and a range of paper types, mirror and translucencies, with over 700 colour images documenting over 120 projects spanning over 30 years, and a 50,000 word text featuring the artist's personal commentaries on each art work as well as interviews with her collaborators including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Bono, Benedict Cumberbatch, Pharrell Williams, Carlo Rovelli, Brian Eno, Sam Mendes, Alice Rawsthorn and Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye. Each book is boxed and includes a die-cut print from an edition of 5000.
Encounters with Artists
Personal encounters with some of the world’s most influential modern and contemporary artists by leading art critic and writer Richard Cork. In Encounters with Artists , Richard Cork turns his impeccable skills as a critic and writer to tell the story of his encounters with some of the world’s most influential artists. From a serendipitous meeting with Pablo Picasso in Cannes in 1965 through his early days as a writer on the Evening Standard and his later role as chief art critic for The Times , Cork records the personal encounters that reveal the characters behind the art.
From individuals who can look back over a lifetime’s career, such as Louise Bourgeois, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns, to younger artists encountered at the beginning of their careers, such as Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, Cork reveals artists’ inner thoughts, anxieties, and creative ambitions. From a studio meeting with Lucian Freud to being driven through the Yorkshire countryside by David Hockney and given a tour of Soho drinking locations with Francis Bacon, Cork has found that “talking to artists can, in my experience, be surprising, revealing, salutary, testing, provocative, stimulating, and at times capable of overturning all my preconceptions about the individuals I encounter.”
Cork has played a significant role in popularizing late modern and contemporary art. In the words of art critic Louisa Buck, his “lucid, evenhanded and at times trenchantly critical judgement has been invaluable in helping to create the multiplicity of approach and vigorous debates of today’s artistic climate.” 1 black-and-white illustration
