Komiks a/jako reklama
Po úspěšné publikaci Dějiny československého komiksu 20. století se polovina jejího autorského týmu rozhodla soustředit na specifickou část domácí komiksové produkce – obrázkové seriály užívané jako prostředek reklamy. Předkládaná kniha se tak věnuje vztahu komiksu a tiskové reklamy, podrobně mapuje, jaké seriály a jakým způsobem byly užívány k propagaci různých produktů a služeb, a to od roku 1900, prvního doloženého výskytu inzerce ve formě obrázkového seriálu, až po dravá devadesátá léta 20. století. Bohatě ilustrovaný svazek s rozsáhlou obrazovou přílohou připomíná řadu pozoruhodných, leč pozapomenutých komiksových reklamních fenoménů, jejichž tvorbě se věnovali jak v dané době nejvýraznější komiksoví výtvarníci, tak i zkušení propagační grafici.
Publikace sleduje i různé kontexty spojení titulních fenoménů či jejich dobovou odbornou reflexi a představuje i nekomiksovou propagační tvorbu nejvýznamnějších osobností, kteří reklamní komiksy tvořili, od Josefa Lady a Ondřeje Sekory po Káju Saudka a Jaroslava Němečka.

The Yves Saint Laurent Revolution: The Story of Le Smoking
The story of an outfit, a designer, his muse, and what the three of them created together: contemporary style.
Paris, 1966. In the tranquility of his studio on Avenue Marceau, Yves Saint Laurent is conducting research for his next collection. From his drawings a female figure emerges... in a tuxedo! 'Le Smoking' is born.
New York, 1967. Yves Saint Laurent steps out for lunch on the Upper East Side with his lifelong muse Betty Catroux. They are denied a table at every restaurant... because Betty is wearing Le Smoking. A woman in trousers? Unacceptable!
This chic graphic novel tells the story of Yves Saint Laurent and Betty Catroux's journey with Le Smoking. Through encounters with such timeless figures from fashion and art as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior and Andy Warhol, we discover the studio secrets of the making of Le Smoking and learn how this iconic piece anticipated and contributed to second-wave feminism in the late 1960s.
Textiles x Art
A compelling showcase of the dynamic intersection of textiles and contemporary art.
Why are so many contemporary artists turning to thread, fabric and fibre to make their most powerful work?
Textile art has surged into the spotlight, shedding its long-standing association with domesticity and craft to take centre stage in galleries, biennales and critical discourse. Ramona Barry and Beck Jobson explore this vibrant resurgence, and the way artists across the globe are embracing traditional techniques like weaving, embroidery, quilting and dyeing, while pushing them into bold new territory. Far from decorative or nostalgic, these works speak to urgent contemporary themes: identity, gender, migration and environment.
Textiles have become a site of resistance, storytelling and innovation. This global survey of forty-four artists reveals the shifting boundaries between craft and fine art, and the expressive power of cloth in the hands of today's most boundary-pushing creatives. Textile art isn't just having a moment: it's reshaping the conversation.
When Harry Met Sally...
Groundbreaking in its departure from its predecessors, When Harry Met Sally… (1989) established classic romantic comedy themes and tropes still being employed today. Following the relationship between its title characters, Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan), and their best friends Jess (Bruno Kirby) and Marie (Carrie Fisher), the film unfolds as a series of episodes, from Harry and Sally's prickly car journey from Chicago to New York City to a momentous encounter on New Year's Eve twelve years later. Tamar Jeffers McDonald's insightful study explores how writer Nora Ephron and director Rob Reiner used structure, filmic devices, music and classic romcom concepts in innovative new ways. In her afterword to this new edition, she reflects on the movie's continuing influence on the romcom genre, and its relevance in a more turbulent era, where the question at the movie's heart - "Can men and women ever just be friends?" takes on fresh nuance in the age of #MeToo.
Lucian Freud
"One of the best books ever written by one painter about another." ? John Russell, The New York Times
First published in 1982, Lawrence Gowing's Lucian Freud is an intimate portrayal of one of the twentieth century's most exceptional artists. At once a pivotal narrative, a furtive autobiography, and a profound exploration of what it means to think through paint, this book represents a historically significant collaboration between two of modern art's brightest minds.
Drawing on forty years of friendship?as well as his own painterly intuition?Gowing's commentary pushes language to the very edge of meaning, evoking the richness of Freud's art with poetic incisiveness as he locates, within the paint itself, "a coiled vigilance and . . . a serpentine litheness in the ready, rapid way in which an object was confronted."
Freud's deep involvement in the original book offers rare insight into the artist as he was in the 1980s. The conversations and questions that shape Gowing's text produced some of Freud's most memorable and widely quoted reflections, while Freud's choice and grouping of paintings and drawings reveal unexpected connections across his works, as seen through his eyes.
Completely redesigned and reissued after many years out of print, this book remains a landmark publication on Lucian Freud.

Art for All. Art History
A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers.
Impressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dal? and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world's new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art.
Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.

Frank Frazetta
Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for well over 50 years, the value of his paintings now climbing as high as his fans’ admiration. Each year his works break the previous year’s auction records, with the cover for Lancer books 1967 Conan bringing $13.5 million in September 2025.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. Self-described as lazy and difficult, he often started a painting the night before it was due, completing it in mere hours, yet delivering a masterpiece—often still wet, but a masterpiece, nonetheless.
He started in comics at age 16, including the infamous EC Comics, moved on to film posters, then to Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Along the way he produced magazine covers for National Lampoon, though at odds with the editors’ “hippy politics,” made the animated film Fire & Ice with director Ralph Bakshi, and learned to paint left-handed at age 68 after the first of many strokes paralyzed his right hand. As he explained in the 1970s, “I’m very physical minded.
In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him.” Using this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho he redefined fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before, and their female counterparts as thick-thighed, heavy-buttocked, and pixie-faced, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. All in all, Frazetta’s art is addictive as potato chips, and now available in a compact, attractive and affordable package.

The Rolling Stones. 45th Ed.
The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-plus year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image.
“The clothes and the hair are always impeccable,” describes author Lucy Sante. “They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos.” Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture. Produced in close collaboration with the band, this edition charts the Stones’ remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 500 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world.
Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones’ own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is and was their official photographic record. Features:Over 500 pages of incredible images from some of the world’s greatest photographers, including David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz, and Norman Parkinson.Essays from award-winning writers David Dalton, Waldemar Januszczak, and Lucy Sante.Appendix including a Stones timeline and a discography.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
