Investing in Wristwatches: Rolexes
Why do we collect? For some, it is a pursuit of pure passion - those who appreciate the wristwatch as an artform: the intricacy of its mechanics, the finesse of its form. Yet for others, collecting is an investment, and a watch's value is of as much importance as its appearance. All collectors ought to have a guide to models and market value. Investing in Wristwatches: Rolex offers detailed insights into the world of authenticating and pricing high-value wristwatches, which will be of use to collectors from amateur to connoisseur.
This publication includes the vast majority of key Rolex models, along with their relevant auction results. The timepieces featured have been carefully selected by Senior Horological Expert, Osvaldo Patrizzi. These wristwatches excel for a diverse range of reasons, including technical excellence, auction records, design and anecdotal history. A description of each watch is accompanied by its picture, reference and sales values (rights included).
A comparative analysis of auction results, compiled through close collaboration with the Sotheby's auction house, shows, by brand and timepiece, the evolution of prices over time, leading from the Eighties up to the present day. A system to calculate the currency exchange rate at the time of auction sales will also be included in this vital work of reference.
PALETTE mini 06: Transparent
Since it was first released, the original PALETTE series has been an instrumental source of colour-themed references for designers around the world. 8 editions later, in keeping with the demands of today's creative practitioners, PALETTE mini books were introduced at the end of 2019 as flip-friendly versions of their originals - redesigned into a compact size with minimal layouts for instant inspiration.
By manipulating the sense of absence and presence, transparency is a powerful attribute that can lure viewers into exploring what lies beneath and beyond a surface. Featuring additional projects that play with opacity, transparency, and everything in between in clever ways, PALETTE mini 06 - Transparent is a compelling collection of work from around the world that showcases how transparency is being reinterpreted and rejuvenated in design.
PALETTE mini 07: Monotone
Since it was first released, the original PALETTE series has been an instrumental source of colour-themed references for designers around the world. 8 editions later, in keeping with the demands of today's creative practitioners, PALETTE mini books were introduced at the end of 2019 as flip-friendly versions of their originals - redesigned into a compact size with minimal layouts for instant inspiration.
Manifesting a distinct simplicity, monochromatic hues can make a statement in the midst of all the surrounding visual noise. By consciously capitalising on a sole colour or a tonal palette, the designers in PALETTE mini 07 - Monotone have created variety out of singularity without rigour or restraint, as seen through the thoughtful formulations, materials, and techniques that bring their branding, packaging, and interior projects to life.
Rebecca Horn
Reality and fiction, matter and spirit, subject and object - the artist Rebecca Horn constantly blurs these boundaries. Even the different media she uses are not clearly separated but their interweaving is part of her artistic principle. This catalog, published to accompany the artist's comprehensive exhibition at the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien, is dedicated to this aspect of her work. Essays by renowned authors provide new perspectives on Horn's oeuvre, which spans five decades: from her early body instruments and performances, to her feature films and kinetic sculptures, to her site-specific installations, drawings, and poems. The countless connections to art, literature, and film traditions are illuminated, as well as Horn's proximity to subjects from mythology and myths.
Městská galerie - Obrazy s příběhem
Devět předních českých výtvarníků - devět velkoplošných realizací na zdech domů v brněnském Bronxu!
František Skála, Eva Koťátková, Vendula Chalánková, Milivoj Husák, TIMO a další, včetně světově uznávaného Rusa Marata Danilyana!
Městská galerie v brněnském Bronxu bude už brzy největší pouliční galerií ve střední Evropě. Město Brno a spolek Nový Bronx spojili své síly v projektu, který chce vrátit někdejší sociálně-vyloučenou lokalitu nedaleko brněnského centra zpátky do městského celku. Lokalita známá jako Bronx prochází dynamickou proměnou a Městská galerie chce dále zvýšit její potenciál stát se kreativní čtvrtí s pestrým uličním životem, přitažlivou pro návštěvníky, kteří před sterilním turismem preferují možnost poznávat tak trochu "jiné město".
Příběh celého projektu, který odstartoval v roce 2019, včetně intimních profilů jednotlivých realizací, napsal iniciátor projektu, spisovatel Martin Reiner. Kniha je vybavena skvělými fotografiemi Petra Soldána a několika dalších fotografů.
Kniha vychází s podporou statutárního města Brna.
Ako prežiť umenie
Toto je kniha o tom, ako sa cítime, keď sme trebárs v ateliéri alebo len v triede, pri hrnčiarskom kruhu alebo za klavírom, pred maliarskym stojanom či za fotoaparátom, a snažíme sa robiť to, čo musíme. Hľadáme v nej odpoveď na otázku, ako môžeme naložiť s vlastnou budúcnosťou, ak uprednostíme slobodnú vôľu pred determinizmom a vlastné rozhodnutie pred náhodou. Preskúmajte spolu s nami, ako tento proces prebieha, prečo sa nám niekedy nedarí a z akých dôvodov to už veľa z nás zavesilo na klinec.
Toto je kniha o tom, ako sa robí umenie.

Giger
"At its essence, Giger's art digs down into our psyches and touches our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb." -Ridley Scott
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger's biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.
Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist's unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger's unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger's life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist's museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artist's oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger's own statements.

Lacná kniha Prečo umenie? (-10%)
PREČO UMENIE?
Odpovede na najčastejšie otázky kladené v galériách
Kto je umelec? Prečo chodiť do galérie? Musím umeniu vždy rozumieť? Akú má umenie hodnotu? A ako spoznám umelecké dielo? To je len niekoľko z viac než tridsiatich otázok, na ktoré kniha odpovedá. Otázky sú doplnené o desiatky reprodukcií diel zo zbierok spolupracujúcich inštitúcií a zábavné ilustrácie umelca Kakalíka. Výber otázok je výsledkom práce autorov, ktorí majú niekoľkoročné skúsenosti s galerijným vzdelávaním a prácou so študentmi. Ich cieľom je sprístupniť súčasné umenie, jeho vývoj a historické korene nenásilnou cestou študentom a pedagógom základných a stredných škôl. Aj preto je možné publikáciu vnímať ako "svojráznu učebnicu", ktorá umenie predstavuje naprieč hranicami, pomáha pochopeniu rôznych prístupov v súčasnom umení a zároveň ho predstavuje ako dôležitú súčasť každodenného života.

Keramika Ivett Axamitová
Veľkorysá monografia autora Jozefa Jurinu, nám približuje život a dielo IVETT AXAMITOVEJ. Keramikárka, ktorá na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne pôsobí už viac ako 30 rokov, nám približuje súlad krásy, vznešenosti a duchovna. Veľmi citlivo nás vťahuje do jej tvorby a nákazlivo sa prihovára našej duši. Ľudská duša patrí do okruhu námetov, ktoré výtvarničku zaujímajú, ktoré analyzuje, obmieňa a stvárňuje v rôznych podobách. Oscilácia medzi konkrétnym a abstraktným výrazom otvára jej tvorbe bohaté možnosti improvizácie, použitím farby a materialu v silnej emócii pôsobenia diela v priestore.
Prostredsníctvom monografie nám autor približuje ženu voňajúcu hlinou. Kompozíciu farieb, jemných dotykov a nespútanosť bujnej fantázie. Pec, v ktorej dielo začína svoj život, svoju existenciu. Prihovára sa nám samotná hlina, ktorá hovorí o úmysle tvorcu. Autor nám odovzdáva jasné svedectvo, ktoré všetci potrebujeme.
V hline je základ našej existencie.
V tomto pochopení tkvie úspech ženy voňajúcej hlinou
Spike Lee
Spike Lee is a world-renowned, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, a cultural icon, and one of the most prominent voices on race and racism for more than three decades. His prolific career has included over 35 films, including his directorial debut She's Gotta Have It (1986), his seminal masterpiece Do the Right Thing (1989), and more recently, his Oscar-winning film BlacKkKlansman (2018). Spike Lee’s provocative feature films, documentaries, commercials, and music videos, have shone the spotlight on significant stories and have made an indelible mark in both cinematic history and in contemporary society.
This career-spanning monograph titled SPIKE is a visual celebration of his life and career to date. The custom bold, typographic design is inspired by the LOVE/HATE brass rings that Radio Raheem wore in Do the Right Thing and that Spike Lee wore at the 2019 Academy Awards. The gold foil deboss on SPIKE on the vibrant fuchsia front cover is a bold and beautiful, eye-catching design. Featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photographs by David Lee, Spike’s brother and long-time still photographer, SPIKE the book, includes behind-the-scenes, insider images that underscore his creative process and his significant impact on the culture at large. From his critically acclaimed film Malcolm X (1992) starring Denzel Washington, to his recent film Da 5 Bloods (2020) featuring the late Chadwick Boseman, Spike Lee’s work continues to resonate now more than ever. Also included here are his beloved commercials with Michael Jordan for Nike, which helped launch the billion-dollar Jordan brand product empire, as well as his music videos with Prince and Michael Jackson. This is a must-have collector’s item and ideal gift for any cinephile and fan of one of the most prominent and influential filmmakers in history.

The V&A Sourcebook of Pattern and Ornament
The wealth of surface pattern and three-dimensional ornamentation in the many objects that enrich our lives is testament to the inventiveness of designers and craftspeople around the globe and throughout history.
This richly illustrated, easy-to-navigate sourcebook presents more than 1,000 historic and contemporary examples of pattern and ornamentation from around the world, each one succinctly identified and explained. Arranged thematically, it is unique among pattern books, as it includes examples not only of surface pattern but also of three-dimensional ornamentation and embellishment.
Two-dimensional pattern is ubiquitous, no matter what the age of an object or where it was created. From Japanese kimono and William Morris fabrics to Chinese porcelain and contemporary furniture, such works reveal humanity's unceasing desire to combine pattern with design. Just as prevalent are examples of three-dimensional embellishments that go far beyond the requirements of their practical use: an acrylic handbag has a carved motif of insects and wildflowers, a cobalt-blue pottery ewer has a dragon's-head spout and an early 19th-century fruit plate is shaped like a seashell.
Designers working today are as fascinated and inspired by pattern and ornament as they have always been. This expertly compiled selection will appeal to designers, artists, illustrators and other creatives from all disciplines as well as anyone interested in visual and material culture.

Lacná kniha Tu spočíva kvet, čo zanechal svet (-25%)
Človek niekedy pociťuje potrebu vytvárať v krajine pamätné miesta, alebo obnovovať dávno stratené a zaniknuté prvky, a prehliada význam tých, ktoré majú takýto rozmer v sebe celkom prirodzene obsiahnutý a stále existujú. Práve ony mnohokrát pustnú a ustupujú z každodennosti do spomienok. Je to prirodzené. Nie je jednoduché nájsť výnimočnosť v niečom, čo je každodennou súčasťou priestoru života, a čo tvorí jeho každodennú kulisu. K uvedomeniu si skutočnej hodnoty mnohých pamiatok dochádza spravidla až pri spätnom pohľade a konfrontácii s reálne hroziacim zánikom, prípadne s už završujúcou sa stratou. Jednými z takýchto zanikajúcich, no stále zachovaných, prvkov na území niekdajšieho Novohradu sú ľudové podoby bohato zdobených a tvarovaných náhrobníkov, ktorými hroby zosnulých označovali evanjelici augsburského vyznania od sedemdesiatych rokov 19. storočia takmer až do polovice 20. storočia len v niekoľkých obciach Novohradských vrchov.
Ide o najreprezentatívnejšiu ukážku ľudovej tvorivosti a ľudového výtvarného prejavu v priestore Novohradu zachovanú in situ, pre ktorú je charakteristická mnohorozmernosť výpovede. Sú to prvky vo vzťahu k jednotlivcovi, spoločenstvu i konkrétnemu priestoru vzniku s mimoriadne vysokým informačným potenciálom, ktorého výpovedná hodnota je však v mnohých ohľadoch nedocenená. Zachované kamenné náhrobníky – oltáriky, sú skutočnou kamennou databázou znakov a symbolov koncentrovanou na malom priestore niekoľkých cintorínov v Novohradských vrchoch. Sú výpoveďou o dobe, priestore a ľuďoch v ňom žijúcich. Sú výpoveďou o čarovnom, no zabudnutom kúsku Slovenska na styku Novohradu s Hontom a Podpoľaním.
Sú svedectvom o svete, ktorý sa vytratil.

Ilúzia a virtuálna realita v umení
Publikácia ponúka rad príspevkov slovenských odborníkov z viacerých oblastí humanitných vied (dejiny umenia, filozofia, estetika, resp. kognitívna estetika), pričom v centre pozornosti sa ocitajú otázky súčasnej umeleckej produkcie, ale aj umenia minulosti ako vytvárania ilúzie, resp. otázky teoretického fundovania vzťahov umenia k realite a vice versa, prípadne reality ako predlohy umení. Je to široké pole, ktorého komplexnosť nie je možné obsiahnuť v jednom zborníku, to ani nie je ambíciou zostavovateľov. Príspevky prierezovo alebo v podobe prípadových štúdií prezentujú stanoviská k ilúzii ako javu charakteristického pre umenie (I. Gerát), zhŕňajú diskusie o ilúzii v umení (L. Kvasz, A. Démuth), načrtávajú perspektívu iluzórnosti umenia dneška alebo nedávnej minulosti (D. Grúň), vzdialenejšej minulosti (P. Megyeši, P. Michalovič), prípadne poukazujú na základe skúseností s využitím najnovších technológií v umeniach do budúcnosti (Z. Rusinová) a vymedzujú hranice tak ilúzie, reality ako aj umenia (K. Ihringová a všetci ostatní).
Witchcraft. The Library of Esoterica
Initiating readers in the fascinating and complex history of witchcraft, from the goddess mythologies of ancient cultures to the contemporary embrace of the craft by modern artists and activists, this expansive tome conjures up a breathtaking overview of an age-old tradition. Rooted in legend, folklore, and myth, the archetype of the witch has evolved from the tales of Odysseus and Circe, the Celtic seductress Cerridwen, and the myth of Hecate, fierce ruler of the moonlit night. In Witchcraft we survey her many incarnations since, as she shape-shifts through the centuries, alternately transforming into mother, nymph, and crone-seductress and destroyer.
Edited by Jessica Hundley, and co-edited by author, scholar, and practitioner Pam Grossman, this enthralling visual chronicle is the first of its kind, a deep dive into the complex symbologies behind witchcraft traditions, as explored through the history of art itself. The witch has played muse to great artists throughout time, from the dark seductions of Francisco Jose de Goya and Albrecht Durer to the elegant paean to the magickal feminine as re-imagined by the Surrealist circle of Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, and Leonor Fini. The witch has spellbound through folktales and dramatic literature as well, from the poison apples of The Brothers Grimm, to the Weird Sisters gathered at their black cauldron in Shakespeare's Macbeth, to L. Frank Baum's iconic Wicked Witch of the West, cackling over the fate of Dorothy.
Throughout this entrancing visual voyage, we'll also bear witness to the witch as she endures persecution and evolves into empowerment, a contemporary symbol of bold defiance and potent nonconformity. Featuring enlightening essays by modern practitioners like Kristen J. Sollee and Judika Illes, as well interviews with authors and scholars such as Madeline Miller and Juliet Diaz, Witchcraft includes a vast range of cultural traditions that embrace magick as spiritual exploration and creative catharsis.
