Mona Kuhn: Works
Mona Kuhn: Works is the first retrospective by one of the most respected and widely exhibited contemporary art photographers of today. Throughout a career spanning more than twenty years, Kuhn's underlying theme involves humanity's longing for spiritual interconnectivity. She is renowned for developing close relationships with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable intimacy. Kuhn employs a range of playful visual strategies that reveal glimpses into the psyche as it is expressed through the human form, ultimately reinterpreting the nude in the canon of contemporary art.
This new volume features images from throughout Kuhn's career, including previously unseen work, and will introduce her distinct aesthetic to a wide, popular audience. Accompanied by insightful texts by Rebecca Morse, Chris Littlewood, Darius Himes and Simon Baker and an interview with Elizabeth Avedon, the reader is provided with insights into Kuhn's creative process and the ways in which she works with her subjects and settings, and achieves the visual signature of her imagery.
Mona Kuhn: Works is an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the human form in contemporary art.

100 Small Paintings
Tomas Rajlich is internationally recognized as a major figure in European painting.
His monochromatic canvases based on the Minimalist grid are the result of meticulous research on the fundamental elements of painting.
In the 100 small-scale paintings brought together in this booklet, he explores the combination of the impersonal, the gestural and the creative force of light; they are variations on the intensity, luminosity and facture of the paint, while clearly remaining a factual painting.
Emerging in the early 1970s, he is often associated with Minimalism and Fundamental Painting a term coined by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1975.
The current includes Robert Ryman, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin, and the early years of Brice Marden and Gerhard Richter. An artist of uncompromising integrity, he maintains a position as one of the most significant living postwar and contemporary painters of his generation.
His works have been the subject of major retrospectives and included in the collections of renowned museums worldwide, such as the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Tomas Rajlich patří k mezinárodně uznávaným nejdůležitějším osobnostem evropského malířství. Jeho monochromatická plátna založená na minimalistické mřížce jsou výsledkem důkladného výzkumu základních prvků malby.
Na stovce maleb malého formátu, obsažených v této knize, zkoumá kombinaci neosobní, gestické a tvůrčí síly světla, jedná se o variace na intenzitu, svítivost a lom barvy, přičemž zcela zřejmě zůstávají věcnou malbou. Na počátku sedmdesátých let byl často spojován s minimalismem a fundamentální malbou pojmem, který zavedlo amsterdamské Stedelijk Museum v roce 1975. Tento proud zahrnuje osobnosti, jako byli Robert Ryman, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin, v prvních letech též Brice Marden a Gerhard Richter. Rajlich si jako umělec nekompromisní integrity udržuje pozici jednoho z nejvýznamnějších žijících poválečných a současných malířů své generace. Jeho díla byla představena na významných retrospektivních výstavách a stala se součástí sbírek renomovaných světových muzeí, jako jsou Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen v Rotterdamu, Centre Georges Pompidou v Paříži či Museum of Modern Art v New Yorku.
No Fixed Points
This book chronicles one hundred years of dramatic developments in ballet, modern, and experimental dance for stage and screen in Europe and North America. The volume is magisterial in scope, encompassing the history of theatrical dance from 1900 through 2000. Beginning with turn-of-the-century dancer-choreographers like Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Michel Fokine, and a bit later Vaslav Nijinsky, and proceeding through the profusion of dance styles performed today, the book provides an unparalleled view of dance in performance as it changed and grew in the twentieth century. Nancy Reynolds and Malcolm McCormick set dance in broader cultural and historical contexts, examine specific dance works, and explore the contributions of outstanding choreographers, performers, visual artists, impresarios, composers, critics, and other figures. They discuss the breakaway barefoot dance of the early 1900s and demonstrate its links with later forms and styles. With unusual detail, fascinating illustrations, and wide-ranging insights, this book is an indispensable guide to the transformations in the dance scene of the twentieth century.
The definitive history of twentieth-century theatrical dance, enhanced with more than 200 exceptional photographs
Winner of the 2005 Congress on Research in Dance Award for Outstanding Publication in Dance Research
"This work is not just reader friendly, it's downright compelling in its chronicle of the most explosively revolutionary century the art form of dance has ever experienced."-Karen Campbell, Christian Science Monitor

Sing Backwards and Weep
From the back of the van to the front of the bar, from the hotel room to the emergency room, Mark Lanegan takes us back to the sinister, needle-ridden streets of Seattle, to an alternative music scene that was simultaneously bursting with creativity and saturated with drugs. He tracks the tumultuous rise and fall of Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acid-rock bar band to world-famous festival favourites with an enduring legacy, and tells of his own personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness, petty crime, and the tragic deaths of his closest friends.
Gritty, gripping and unflinchingly raw, SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP is about a man who learned how to drag himself from the wreckage, dust off the ashes, and keep living and creating.
'The most brutally honest rock memoir imaginable' DAILY TELEGRAPH
"Mark Lanegan-primitive, brutal, and apocalyptic. What's not to love?" NICK CAVE
"A stoned cold classic" IAN RANKIN
'Mark Lanegan writes like he sings, from the pained heart of a damaged soul with brutal honesty' BOBBY GILLESPIE
Patrick Norguet Dialogues
An icon of French design revisits his 20-year career with an art book
masterfully illustrated by the fashion photographer Alistair
Taylor-Young
A designer with an atypical background, Patrick
Norguet has a privileged relationship with both the production tool and
the beauty of shapes. Harnessing his sense of colors, formal reserve,
elegant purity, and steadfast quest for comfort, his work is the direct
legacy of the canons of Nordic design, challenged by a fair dose of
humor that embodies the object.His career took a lasting turn in 2000
when Giulio Cappellini noticed his famous Rainbow Chair, which is now
featured in the collection of the MOMA in New York. Since then, he has
been drawing for major designers such as Capellini, Poltrona Frau,
Cassina, Tacchini, Hermes, Tolix, Artifort, Pedrali, and Ethimo.
"Whom for? What for? How?"
By answering these essential questions, Norguet humbly assumes the
defining role of the industrial designer, nourished by a practice he
experiences as an exploration of different forms of company cultures. "Without
going as far as to imply that my work is political, my ultimate goal
remains the creation of a product that functions. A fair, honest product
in line with the sociology of its era." Norguet primarily sees
design as a collective and innovative approach in which his assembled
creations become alive. Today, he shares the birth of 60 of his
creations in a radically magnificent book. A work designed as an
original photographic work, a poetic and dreamlike storyboard which,
chapter after chapter, questions the relationship between the table of
laws and the semantics of the object world. From its creation process to
its aesthetical acme, the object takes shape, embodying multiple
scenarios in the course of a vibrant visual epic, witnessing to all its
possible interpretations and lives.

Glossy
'Dame Anna Wintour might be one of the best-known and most successful journalists on the planet. But it wasn't always like that. When she started out on Vogue she was often so miserable she had to phone her husband for help. This is just one of countless fascinating titbits in this zippy story of dizzying fortune, out-of this-world fashion, ingenuity, passion, sex and power.
And, this being fashion, some intense bitchiness too. Started as a gossip magazine for snobbish New Yorkers in 1892, Vogue is now one of the most recognisable brands in the world. Spanning London, New York and Paris, this is a high-speed, fun read full of fascinating though not always likeable people.' Daily Mail
Glossy is a story of more than a magazine. It is a story of passion and power, dizzying fortune and out-of-this-world fashion, of ingenuity and opportunism, frivolity and malice. This is the definitive story of Vogue.
Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness.
Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans 22 countries, has an international print readership upwards of 12 million and nets over 67 million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognisable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what - and more importantly who - made Vogue such an enduring success?
Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the reader through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

Pucci - Updated Edition
Emilio Pucci had a passion for women, a visionary sense of style, and an eye for color and design. With these talents, he created a fashion house unlike any other. By the early '50s, his boutique on the isle of Capri was catering to wealthy sophisticates, heiresses, and movie stars buying his "Capri pants," silk scarves, and lightweight separates. By the end of the decade, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were wearing his dresses, and by the mid-'60s, the label was synonymous with the gilded lifestyle of an international jetset.
The Pucci story is a modern epic with its roots in renaissance Italy: the brand's founder, the Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento, was a charismatic aristocrat whose lineage extends back to the 15th century. It is a story of evolution: a family company that grew from one tiny store to an international brand. And finally, it is a tale of innovation: Pucci was one of the first brands to bear a logo, and a pioneer of diversification into interiors, athletic wear, and accessories. It introduced free-moving, lightweight fabrics, pop-art prints, and a new color palette into womenswear, and constantly pushed fabric and printing technologies.
Featuring hundreds of photographs, drawings, and candid shots from the archive of the Emilio Pucci Foundation, this XL tome captures the breathtaking elegance and drama of a unique brand. Vanessa Friedman's text places Emilio's achievements in the context of fashion history and provides insight into the remarkable Pucci dynasty.Each book is uniquely bound with one of a selection of original print fabrics from Emilio Pucci's collection and will be delivered with one of the stunning fabrics available.Also available in an Art Edition with a vintage silk scarf from the Emilio Pucci Archive

Mass Housing
This major work provides the first comprehensive history of one of modernism's most defining and controversial architectural legacies: the 20th-century drive to provide 'homes for the people'. Vast programmes of mass housing - high-rise, low-rise, state-funded, and built in the modernist style - became a truly global phenomenon, leaving a legacy which has suffered waves of disillusionment in the West but which is now seeing a dramatic, 21st-century renaissance in the booming, crowded cities of East Asia.
Providing a global approach to the history of Modernist mass-housing production, this authoritative study combines architectural history with the broader social, political, cultural aspects of mass housing - particularly the 'mass' politics of power and state-building throughout the 20th century.
Exploring the relationship between built form, ideology, and political intervention, it shows how mass housing not only reflected the transnational ideals of the Modernist project, but also became a central legitimizing pillar of nation-states worldwide. In a compelling narrative which likens the spread of mass housing to a 'Hundred Years War' of successive campaigns and retreats, it traces the history around the globe from Europe via the USA, Soviet Union and a network of international outposts, to its ultimate, optimistic resurgence in China and the East - where it asks: Are we facing a new dawn for mass housing, or another 'great housing failure' in the making?
