Matisse
This lavishly produced volume explores Matisse’s lifelong reinvention of art through some fifty works, six extraordinary fold-out spreads, and illuminating essays.
Providing a unique opportunity to see Matisse’s work at a remarkable scale, this volume echoes the clarity, richness, and innovation of his art. Showcasing dozens of carefully reproduced paintings and cut-outs, the book offers a panoramic view of one of modern art’s most influential figures. Tracing Matisse’s development from early naturalist studies to the luminous intensity of Fauvism and the radical simplicity of his late paper cut-outs, it follows his evolving approach to form, color, and composition.
Brief essays accompany approximately fifty emblematic works, offering new insight into the artist’s changing techniques and the contexts in which he worked. With colored edges, a printed cloth binding, and a design that reflects Matisse’s visual sensibility, the book is as visually compelling in its production as the works it presents.
Six major compositions — including Joy of Life, The Red Studio, The Dance, and The Sorrows of the King — appear as expansive map-style fold-outs, allowing readers to savor their ambition and detail in unprecedented depth. A vivid and layered portrait, this volume invites close attention to the artistic choices that shaped a career of continual reinvention.
The Primacy of Drawing
A definitive and comprehensive study of drawing, now entirely revised.
Drawing has always been an inseparable part of art-making, both as a distinct art form and a crucial step in many other creative visual practice. Yet, its role has faced increasing scrutiny in recent decades. The popularity of readymades, the endless possibilities of new technologies, and the idea of the artist as a performer have shifted attention away from traditional studies or sketches. Deanna Petherbridge's second edition of The Primacy of Drawing invites new perspectives on the practice, which she argues is central to "all aspects of cultural making and thinking."
Petherbridge begins by exploring ancient myths about the origins of drawing, then examines the contrasts between open-ended sketches and highly formalized studies, which together form a drawing continuum?graphic parameters within which artists continue to experiment. She also delves into the economy of drawing?its qualities of line and mark, and analyzes the strategies behind making, composing, and inventing drawn images. The teaching of drawing in academies has led to complex theories on copying, genre hierarchies, and expressive figure drawing. The manner in which satire, sexuality, and play develop compositional strategies reflects Petherbridge’s perspective as a teacher, deeply engaged with the hows and whys of visual thinking.
The Primacy of Drawing serves as both a much-needed history of the practice and a valuable resource for anyone interested in drawing.

Sebastiao Salgado - Glaciers
This majestic collection of black-and-white photographs captures the world's great glaciers as both ancient monuments and fragile frontiers in the age of climate change.
In this arresting visual study, Sebastia~o Salgado brings together 65 duotone photographs from his epic project Genesis, offering a visual survey of some of the planet's most remote and ice-bound regions. From the ice fields of Patagonia and the peaks of the Himalayas to the vast shelves of Antarctica and the volcanic flanks of Kamchatka, these images record the forms, textures, and scale of glacial landscapes around the world.
Shot in Salgado's large-format, black-and-white style, the photographs emphasize the physical presence of ice-its ridges, fractures, density, and drift. Light and shadow reveal the structural complexity of each scene, from massive crevasses to the delicate patterns of wind-swept snow.
An essay by climate scientist Elisa Palazzi examines the science of glacier formation, transformation, and decline. Pairing meticulous sequencing with refined design and premium duotone printing, the book offers a focused and enduring portrait of the world's glaciers at a critical moment in their history.
Dokumentární divadlo
Dokumentární divadlo zažívá ve 21. století období velké popularity a rozvoje. Větví se a prolíná do jiných, tradičních i novátorských divadelních forem. Jeho popularita značně vzrostla asi hlavně proto, že člověk je v obří míře a ze všech stran ( v umění, v médiích, v politice ... ) atakovaný fabulacemi, falešnými zprávami a lhaním vydávaným za pravdu. Prahne tudíž po něčem, čemu lze věřit, co není podvod, ba ani fikce, co je pravda pravdoucí. 15 – „odrůd“ dokumentárního divadla, 38 příloh – reflexí konkrétních inscenaci a rozhovorů od zakladatele a emeritního šéfredaktora časopisu Svět a divadlo, zakladatele festivalů Divadlo i Ohromné maličkosti, občasného režiséra, řezbáře a skladatele říkanek. Na 222 stranách a téměř 50 fotografiích.
Obraz a kult
Kniha Hanse Beltinga Obraz a kult je jednou z nejdůležitějších knih v oblasti dějin umění. Představuje osobitý a dosud směrodatný pohled na dějiny evropské vizuální kultury napříč hranicemi aktuálních evropských států. Od svého vydání vyvolala širokou debatu o náboženských prožitcích tváří v tvář kultovním obrazům, která dalece přesahuje rámec vlastního tématu a stále není u konce.
Beltingovi se v této práci podařilo spojit dříve oddělené religionistické a historicko-umělecké pohledy v suverénní syntézu. Jeho kniha o umění zobrazování a moci křesťanského kultovního obrazu od pozdní antiky do 16. století hledá odpověď na zásadní otázku, proč mají právě tyto obrazy tak velkou moc a proč hrály nejen v tomto období tak klíčovou společenskou roli. Čtenáři také nabízí možnost porovnat dějiny obrazu a zobrazování na „Východě“ a na „Západě“.
V obsáhlé úvodní studii Ivana Folettiho je kniha zasazena do kontextu soudobého bádání a celospolečenského vývoje.
Devade
Devadesátky a architektura. Velké, však dosud přehlížené téma. Kniha DEVADE: Architektura Prahy mezi přísností a diskotékou je první publikací, která s odstupem a kritickým pohledem hodnotí pražské stavby první svobodné dekády po pádu komunismu. Éry formované přílivem zahraničního kapitálu, dlouho potlačovanými ambicemi českých architektů a architektek, dravým kapitalismem i nástupem světových starchitektů. Kniha představuje příběhy třiceti staveb z let 1989–2004, od ikonického Tančícího domu přes zatracovaný hotel Don Giovanni po zapomenutý archivní areál na Chodovci – bez předsudků i nostalgie. Ilustrují je dobové i současné snímky a expertní sondy do atmosféry doby, kdy architektura oscilovala mezi navázáním na tradici přísné meziválečné moderny a tehdy populární postmoderní rozjitřeností. Ukazuje se, že devadesátková architektura byla myšlenkově mnohem bohatší a stylově rozmanitější, než za jakou byla dlouho považována. A že nabízí klíč k pochopení polistopadové transformace hlavního města.

Brooke DiDonato: Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer
The debut monograph from the inimitable photographer, Brooke DiDonato, exploring the strangeness lurking behind the ordinary in everyday life.
Brooke DiDonato: Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer is a curated collection of Brooke DiDonato’s singularly surreal photography. Evoking feelings of nostalgia or disorientation, DiDonato’s work teeters between the familiar and the fantastical. Inspired by family homes in Ohio, her compositions challenge expectations of how space can be occupied. Torsos, legs, and arms contort into uncanny arrangements across sofas and ascend into attics. Ordinary surroundings often have a compelling presence?white picket fences, cornfields, deserts, and sidewalks become sites of unexpected psychological encounters as figures are subsumed by their environments. Her pictures are playfully titled?Growing Upward Has Its Downside, What to Expect When You're Expecting Nothing, and Went to Therapy but I’m Still in My Patterns?and poignantly touch upon contemporary anxieties and universal themes of love and loss.
This volume brings together her most well-known bodies of work, including A House is Not a Home, alongside new works published here in print for the first time. A short introduction from writer Eleanor Sutherland provides an overview of DiDonato’s practice, while an intimate conversation between Emmy award–winning filmmaker and writer Eve Van Dyke and Brooke's father, Bob DiDonato, offers a personal glimpse into her evolution as an artist.
A one-of-a-kind photographic experience, DiDonato's first monograph invites us into her beguiling world, daring us to stare a little longer.

The Duncan Method – Thinking Through Dance
The text by renowned dance teacher Eva Blažíčková explains dance as a unique artistic discipline which, through teaching using the Duncan Method, can develop not only into an independent creative activity, but also positively influence the formation of a person and their relationship to the world.
The author gradually introduces readers to the theoretical foundations of the Duncan Method and defines its current form, focusing on the key areas that shape it (Technique, Improvisation, Creation, The Art of Teaching). At the same time, she provides a detailed analysis of the differentiated qualities of movement. A significant part of the book is then devoted to didactic procedures and specific exercises that can be used in practice when teaching dance across age groups and types of schools.
The publication is written in sensitive, poetic-philosophical language and, with its broader scope, opens up more general questions of artistic education, the quality of existence, and the values that shape human society.
The whole is complemented by original drawings by the academic painter Vladimír Kokolia, which naturally accompany the reader through the landscape of Duncan's dance thinking.

Jiří Příhoda ´80
Tvorba Jiřího Příhody z 80. let 20. století dosud nebyla systematicky zpracována, přestože právě v tomto období autor artikuloval základní výtvarné postoje, které později rozvinul v rámci své mezinárodně uznávané umělecké praxe. Významnou roli v této etapě sehrál pobyt na Vysočině, kde Příhoda od narození do konce 80. let trávil většinu svého volného času na venkově u prarodičů. Právě tehdy vznikl soubor prací, v němž se propojila klasická kresebná průprava, formovaná na Střední odborné škole výtvarné v Praze („Hollarka“), s intuitivním hledáním formy a výrazu.
Krajina v okolí Lovětína, Roštejna a Růžené se pro něj stala prostorem experimentu: nejprve prostřednictvím kresby a grafiky, posléze formou konceptuálně laděných intervencí do terénu, které dnes chápeme jako významný příspěvek k domácí verzi land artu.
The artistic oeuvre of Jiří Příhoda from the 1980s has yet to be systematically mapped, even though it represents precisely the period when the author first articulated his underlying artistic stances, later developed as part of his internationally recognized artistic output. A significant role in this stage was played by his time in the Vysočina region, where Příhoda from his birth until the end of the 1980s spent most of his free time in the countryside with his grandparents.
And it was here that he created the body of work where he linked his classical drawing knowledge, acquired at the Václav Hollar Secondary Professional School of Art in Prague (informally known as “Hollarka”), with an intuitive search for form and expression. The landscape near the villages of Lovětín, Roštejn and Růžená became for him a space of experiment: first through drawings and prints, later through conceptually shaped terrain interventions, which are now understood as a significant contribution to the Czech version of land art…
Ai Weiwei. Updated Edition
Ai Weiwei is famous for much more than his art. As a champion for the right to free expression and against arbitrary state power, his actions reach far beyond the art world. His work is infused with a deep social and political commitment: when he brings 1,001 Chinese citizens from all classes and regions to Documenta 12, when he strews over 100 million hand-made porcelain sunflower seeds across the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern, when he creates a frieze of school bags commemorating the many children who fell victim to the tragedy of the Sichuan earthquake, or when he visits the refugee camps of the world to engage with often-ignored individual fates in his film Human Flow. In 2011, Ai was detained for 81 days by the Chinese police for his relentless questioning of authorities, and his passport was taken away. Despite international protests he received it back only in 2015. Finally traveling outside of China again, setting up base in Berlin and lately in Portugal, he has now become a truly global artist, whose work is always informed by his activism and vice versa.
Focusing on the recent decade of art and activism by one of the most outspoken artists of our time, this edition provides TASCHEN’s previous Ai Weiwei monograph with a comprehensive update. Now exploring 40 years of work, the book ranges from the artist’s exile in ’80s New York, through sculptures based in Chinese traditions and craftsmanship after his return to China, to his latest works conceived in Europe: toy-brick mosaics, films, and installations championing human rights. This book is itself a historical document: initially produced as the first in-depth monograph in close collaboration with the artist during a time when he still couldn’t travel abroad, now the same team has reconvened to continue the story. Countless images from Ai’s archives show the studio day-to-day, the artwork production, the political actions. They are accompanied by artist’s statements made especially for this book, and by three far-ranging essays: independent curator Roger M. Buergel and art historian Alfred Weidinger, who both worked with the artist on major exhibitions, discuss the work and its development in thematic detail, while long-time friend, the entrepreneur and collector Uli Sigg, delivers a personal portrait of the artist from two points in time.
Manifest krajinářské architektury/ Landscape Architecture Manifesto
Manifest krajinářské architektury nabízí čtenářům cestu, jak vnímat krajinu. Klíčem je pochopení jedinečnosti každého konkrétního místa. Autoři se brání celospolečenské tendenci vidění světa, který je rozdělen na přírodu a člověka v ní, jako dvě oddělené entity. Kniha odkrývá, že člověk může identitu místa posilovat a tvořit. V druhé části publikace najdete stavby krajinářské architektury různého rukopisu a typologiie od třech architektonických ateliérů, které založili a vedou autoři knihy: Jakub Chvojka – CHVOJKA/architekt, Tomáš Jiránek – NEW VISIT, Markéta a Petr Veličkovi - M&P Architekti.
The Landscape Architecture Manifesto offers its readers a path toward perceiving the landscape. The key to this aim is an understanding of the uniqueness of each specific place. What the authors reject is the broad-based tendency to view the world as divided between nature and humanity, as two essentially separated entities. The present volume reveals how humanity can strengthen or create a place's identity. In the second half of the publication, you can find realizations of landscape architecture in a variety of styles and typologies from the three studios founded and operated by the book's authors: Jakub Chvojka – CHVOJKA/architekt, Tomáš Jiránek – NEW VISIT, Markéta and Petr Velička - M&P Architekti.
The Female Body in Art
From the Renaissance to the present day, this is the history of art told through the female form, with over 80 works of art.
A cultural mirror of the times, the female body has captivated both artists and audiences for centuries. But what can we learn from these pieces of art? What are they trying to tell us about the world we live in? And how has that changed over time?
Explore the luminous portraiture of Gustav Klimt, astonishing wartime photography from Lee Miller and the ground-breaking performance art of Marina Abramovic. Meet Leonor Fini's shepherdess, Barkley L. Hendricks's 'Madonna', Graciela Iturbide's 'Medusa', Toyin Ojih Odutola's adventuresses and Hayv Kahraman's 'army of fierce women'.
Discover the idealized female body as envisioned by Sandro Botticelli and the gender non-conforming portraits of Zanele Muholi and Yuki Kihara, as Amy Dempsey looks at how and why the female body has been depicted time and time again, and why its portrayal has often delivered important messages about - and to - the world.
With a foreword by writer and curator, Hettie Judah.
