Contemporary Art
An essential account of contemporary art that identifies key themes and approaches, providing the reader with a clear understanding of the contexts in which art is being made today.
Since the 1960s, contemporary art has overturned the accepted historical categorizations of what constitutes art, who creates it, and how it is represented and validated. This guide brings the subject up to date, exploring the notion of “contemporary” and what it means in the present as well as how it came about.
Curator and writer Natalie Rudd explains the many aspects of contemporary art, from its backstory to today, including different approaches, media, and recurring themes. Each chapter addresses a core question, explored via an accessible narrative and supported by an analysis of relevant works.
Rudd also looks at the role of the art market and its structures, including art fairs and biennales, and how these have developed since the millennium; the expanded role of the contemporary artist as personality; and how artists are untangling historical and contemporary narrativesto expose inequalities, the ethics of making, and the potential for art to improve the world and effect political change. A reference section offers advice on how to interpret contemporary art and where to access it.
Offering a multinarrative and international perspective, Contemporary Art discusses what motivates artists as they try to make sense of the world and their place within it. This guide promises to reduce your feelingsof intimidation when engaging with contemporary art, offering useful knowledge about diverse artists.

Martin Vongrej. Váha vědomí / The Weight of Consciousness
Martin Vongrej (1986) v současnosti reprezentuje patrně nejstrukturovanější podobu vizuální tvorby na Slovensku. Ve svých dílech se snaží obsáhnout liminální prostor mezi myšlenkovou spekulací a konceptuálně-minimalistickou estetikou; kombinuje vizualitu se subjektivně pojatou filozofickou rovinou. Klíčovou součástí jeho uměleckých výzkumů je zejména vztah mezi viditelným a neviditelným, který autor označuje rovněž jako „vnořování se do nitra virtuálního bodu". Tento virtuální (neviditelný) bod Vongrej nachází v přírodě (například v pomyslném středu letokruhů stromu), v geometrických objektech (torus, Möbiova páska) a také v lineární perspektivní konstrukci (úběžník jako virtuální bod průniku sbíhavých linií).
Jana Ilková. Diary
Jana Ilková (1978) je fotografkou v klasickom zmysle tohto slova. Jej snímky zo série Diary (od roku 2018 - ) sú rôznorodou zmesou motívov z každodenného života. Motívov, ktoré sú na prvý pohľad banálne a neatraktívne.
Ilková pracuje so snapshotovou estetikou a často využíva priame bleskové svetlo, ktoré odhaľuje všetky chyby a nedostatky. Vo svojej tvorbe sa snaží o dokumentárnu, ba priam vedecky presnú reprodukciu videného. V kontraste jej autorského prístupu a výsledných veľkoformátových zväčšenín vzniká znepokojivý pocit zo všednosti.

Bohemia: Příběh Fenoménu, 1950-2000
Od dob svého vzniku v Paříži v polovině 19. století představuje myšlenka bohémství vlivnou a přetrvávající součást umělecké identity. Ačkoliv měli lidé zabývající se uměním vždy pověst těch, kdo žijí mimo společenské normy, právě tehdy a na tomto místě byl tento životní styl poprvé přijat systematicky a zromantizován. Koncept bohémy se rychle ujal i mezinárodně a po druhé světové válce se objevil na mnoha různých místech po celém světě.
Bohemia: Příběh fenoménu, 1950–2000 mapuje rozdíly i prvky kontinuity v rozmanitých projevech těchto scén. Končí na sklonku 20. století, kdy komoditní kultura začala až příliš nahlodávat způsob života založený na jejím odmítání. Myšlenka bohémství nicméně nadále nabízí alternativu ke konformitě, a proto dodnes vzbuzuje fascinaci. Dokonce i z hlubin minulosti nadále láká životními styly, které stále burcují a inspirují.
Tato publikace doprovází obsáhlou výstavu pořádanou Kunsthalle Praha a pojednává o důležitých dílech pestré řady umělců a umělkyň jako Stan Douglas, Ed van der Elsken, Nan Goldin, Tomislav Gotovac, Peter Hujar, Libuše Jarcovjáková, Alice Neel, Wolfgang Tillmans, Zhang Huan a další.
Autor knihy, Russell Ferguson, působí jako profesor a výzkumný pracovník na University of California v Los Angeles a široce publikuje o poválečném a současném umění. Mezi jeho knihy patří například tituly In Memory of My Feelings: Frank O’Hara and American Art (1999) a ve spolupráci s Kerrym Brougherem Damage Control: Art and Destruction since 1950 (2013).
Jaromír Čejka - Stopy / Traces
Monografie Jaromíra Čejky s názvem Stopy je splátkou dluhu významnému českému fotografovi, kterého zná kulturní obec především jako autora fotografického projektu Jižní Město. Rozpětí tvorby Jaromíra Čejky je však daleko širší a tuto šíři má monografie čtenářům představit alespoň v těchto předkládaných obrysech. Jeho kompozice nejsou jen interpretací skutečnosti, neboť jsou rovněž výsledkem recepce umělecky směrodatných fotografií a jedinečným uchopením všeho, čemu autor vtiskl podobu stop skutečnosti.

French Home
The French have a legendary sense of style and this is nowhere more evident than in their interiors.
In French Home, dealer in French antiques Josephine Ryan explores the elements that combine to create elegant yet comfortable spaces with a distinctly French feel. She points out the architectural details that enhance the framework of a room, explores the textures and the color palette that flatter various styles of furniture, and shows us options for lighting, mirrors, decorative objects, and paintings. By exploring real homes that deftly synthesize all these elements and more, French Home examines the sophisticated alchemy of an enduringly popular look that can be either lush and complex, or simple and pared-down.
Sokol mezi obrazy
Monografie se věnuje teorii a dějinám umění, estetice a umělecké kritice Miroslava Tyrše (1832–1884), který je sice všeobecně znám jako zakladatel a vedoucí osobnost Sokola, ale byl také historikem umění a kultury, estetikem a prvním profesorem dějin umění na české části Karlovy univerzity v Praze. Monografie představuje a analyzuje jeho rozsáhlé dílo, které zůstalo ve stínu tělocvičného hnutí. I toto hnutí, společenství, bylo ovšem jeho chápáním kultury a umění silně ovlivněno – Tyrš do Sokola integroval i vzory antického Řecka a důsledně usiloval o renesanci ideálu kalokagathie. Díky tomu se věnoval nejen estetické teorii tělesných cvičení a gymnastiky, ale i teorii umění a stal se prvním českým kritikem zaměřeným výhradně na výtvarné umění. Kniha se proto pokouší jeho názory, rozptýlené v řadě teoretických textů i uměleckých kritik, představit uceleněji a také je zasadit do kontextu dobových názorů, z nichž čerpal.
Retreats for the Soul
Retreats, hideaways, escape spaces - call them what you will, such havens offer us a personal, private and peaceful place to nest, nurture and take time out. These spaces offer the chance to create a completely unique interior. Be it a simple garden room, a homely shepherd's hut, a yoga-lover's cabin, a fishing lodge or summer house, a treehouse, a circus wagon, a purpose-designed garden smart pod or even a canal boat, the glorious retreats showcased here will provide inspiration for creating your very own place for escape or somewhere to enjoy favourite activities.
Author Sara Bird reveals the essential elements of a soulful hideaway, from building materials to decorative details, and then explores 14 remarkable retreats in three chapters: Close to Home, On the Water and In the Wild. These are spaces designed for rest, relaxation, play and daydreaming either alone or en famille, as well as for their effects on our mental and physical wellbeing.
The World According to Colour
The world comes to us in colour. But colour lives as much in our imaginations as it does in our surroundings, as this scintillating book reveals. Each chapter immerses the reader in a single colour, drawing together stories from the histories of art and humanity to illuminate the meanings it has been given over the eras and around the globe. Showing how artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, explorers and inventors have both shaped and been shaped by these wonderfully myriad meanings, James Fox reveals how, through colour, we can better understand their cultures, as well as our own. Each colour offers a fresh perspective on a different epoch, and together they form a vivid, exhilarating history of the world.

Bob Dylan
A six-decade survey of Dylan's work in painting, drawing and sculpture
Spanning six decades, Retrospectrum showcases the development and range of Bob Dylan's (born 1941) visual art in an array of mediums. His diverse creations include works made in oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink, pastel, charcoal and sculpture in iron. Among the artworks presented in Retrospectrum are some of Dylan's earliest ink sketches, first published in 1973's Writings and Drawings, which illustrated and compiled Dylan's lyrics up to that date. These are shown alongside 2021's Mondo Scripto series, in which Dylan revisited some of his most renowned lyrics, hand-lettering and illustrating them. The book also features the iconic Train Tracks series; The New Orleans Series and The Asia Series (from 2012 and 2010 respectively), inspired by Dylan's travels; works from his hugely popular The Beaten Path series (2015-present); and his iron sculptures created from found objects.

- Glossary of technical terms and comprehensive index help make this an indispensable work of reference for any art-lover.
Timelines of Art is the perfect art history book for students of art and/or history, proving ideal for families, schools and libraries and doubling up as a great gift for the art lover in your life.
Mad about Painting
Best known for his iconic print Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as the Great Wave, Katsushika Hokusai was a revolutionary printmaker. His mastery of ukiyo-e in the nineteenth century has inspired generations of artists since, and his works exposed the world to the delicate beauty and power of Japanese woodblock technique. In addition to his remarkable artistic output, Hokusai was also a dedicated teacher who sought to pass down his deep understanding of color and painting to practicing artists through immensely detailed written tutorials.
Here, for the first time in centuries, are excerpts from his manuals, many available for the first time in English. It is an invaluable insight into the psyche of a true master, and a rare personal account of an artist's life during a fascinating period in Japan's history. Connecting Hokusai's prints from the Edo period to manga, author Ryoko Matsuba foregrounds Hokusai's contributions to Japanese creative expression from the 1800s to today.
Also included in this book: Vincent Van Gogh's letter about Hokusai's Great Wave and the contemporary artist Ikeda Manabu's concise observations about Hokusai's lasting influence.
London Tube Stations 1924-1961
Charles Holden's designs for the London Underground from the mid-1920s to the outbreak of World War II represent a high point of transport architecture and Modernist design in Britain. His collaboration with Frank Pick, the Chief Executive of London Transport, brought about a marriage of form and function still celebrated today. Pick used the term 'Medieval Modernism' to describe their work on the underground system, comparing the task to the construction of a great cathedral.
London Tube Stations 1924 - 1961 catalogues and showcases every surviving station from this innovative period. These beautiful buildings, simultaneously historic and futuristic, have been meticulously documented by architectural photographer Philip Butler.
Annotated with station-by-station overviews by writer and historian Joshua Abbott, the book provides an indispensable guide to the network's Modernist gems. All the key stations have a double page spread, with a primary exterior photograph alongside supporting images. A broader historical introduction, illustrated with archival images from the London Transport Museum, gives historical context, while a closing chapter lists the demolished examples alongside further period images.These stations, as famed architectural historian Nicholas Pevsner later noted, would "pave the way for the twentieth-century style in England".
Studio Ceramics (Victoria and Albert Museum)
A magnificent catalogue of the V&A's collection of twentieth-century and contemporary British ceramics. Contemporary ceramicists working in Britain, including Rachel Kneebone, Grayson Perry and Edmund de Waal, are part of a broader international group of artists experimenting with clay, considering how it intersects and works in dialogue with other artforms and culture at large. Recent experimentation with the medium owes much to the rapid evolution of ceramics into an expanded field, and to the work of mid to late twentieth-century potters and their liberation from the legacy of groups such as the Arts and Crafts movement.
The experimental techniques and rethinking of form in the work of exponents such as Lucie Rie, Bernard Leach, and Hans Coper - whose reference points were drawn from Asia, Africa, India and the Middle East as much as from their own heritage - continue to influence and inspire contemporary makers. In his introductory essay, Alun Graves, Senior Curator of Ceramics at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, provides all lovers of ceramics - collectors, practitioners, historians and those interested in modern and contemporary art and crafts - with the historical context, documenting this shift in the medium into an expressive, and sometimes interventionist, art form.

Kromě Pešánkovy originální koncepce kinetického umění, která předznamenává umění nových médií a počítačů, nabízí kniha schémata ohňostrojů a světelných fontán a podrobný popis řešení Pešánkovy kineticko-světelné plastiky pro Edisonovu transformační stanici a plastik oslavujících 100 let elektřiny.
Reclaim the Street

A world tour of the very best street photography today, Reclaim the Street showcases work by more than 100 contemporary photographers, from the established to the emerging, from all corners of the globe: here is work by Indian practitioner Swarat Ghosh, Thai photographer Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet (aka Poupay), and the Brazilian photographer Gustavo Minas. Truly diverse in scope, it pays long overdue attention to flourishing scenes throughout the world, interweaving thirty-four photographer portfolios, in-depth case studies, and surveys of the geographical hotspots where communities of street photographers are thriving today.

The global, and ultimately optimistic and humanistic edge of Reclaim the Street will deepen its readers' love of photography, as well as leave them inspired by the places and people captured through today's sharpest lenses.
Milton Glaser, POP
An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70s From 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late '70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence; for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show's final season. His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Creator of the iconic 'I love NY' logo (featuring a heart symbol in place of the word 'love') and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser's Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture.
