BIG Atlas
The first comprehensive monograph focusing on the built work of BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, one of the most innovative and creative architecture practices working today For over two decades, the pioneering, multidisciplinary Danish firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group has created a wide range of projects that give form to the future, standing out for their bold-yet-practical forms, elements of surprise, and people-focused solutions. BIG Atlas offers an ambitious and all-encompassing survey of more than fifty completed projects from around the world, from an energy plant topped with a ski slope and a LEGO Museum that seems to be made out of the famous bricks to the firm’s own recently completed Copenhagen headquarters. Spanning a rich variety of typologies, scales, and materials, the featured projects are brought to life through more than 600 photographs, plans, and drawings. Presented together for the first time, they trace BIG’s transformation into fully integrated design, synthesizing the fields of architecture, interiors, landscape, engineering, planning, and product design to advance more sustainable ways of living within our environments while simultaneously raising the quality of our lives. Beautifully designed, oversized, and spanning more than 500 pages, this definitive monograph captures the groundbreaking work of a visionary firm.
John Hughes
There are very few directors for whom you can say “that’s his or her brand of film”, but the legendary John Hughes is undoubtedly one of them. He presented a different perspective on growing up, showing parents to be much more human than movies had previously shown them to be. His ability to capture the experiences and emotions of young people, and to create relatable and memorable characters, has made his films enduring classics that continue to resonate with audiences young and old. The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and Ferris Buhler’s Day Off are beloved works that defined a generation on the movie screen. Additionally, Hughes’s work as a screenwriter (often completing scripts over a single weekend) contributed vastly to the success of many films, some of which he is not sufficiently credited for. As the 1980s ended, Hughes demonstrated his versatility as a filmmaker by making comedies targeting adult audiences over teens—films that have found their place in the hearts of many. This book celebrates the movies of John Hughes and the good times they have brought us, while examining the man behind the legacy.
Cut Out
Cut Out presents the previously untold relationship between photography, feminist art and collage, from the 19th century to the present day.
Female artists have long employed collage to reflect the ways in which identity is often constructed from conflicting, contrasting and contradictory parts. Cut Out explores the relationship between photography and feminist collage, foregrounding the use of femmage - a radical reclaiming of craft traditionally associated with women - as a resilient method within feminist and political art.
Cut Out presents an expanded definition of collage and cutting techniques to encompass photomontage, assemblage and the photogram. Tracing a lineage from nineteenth-century makers to contemporary practitioners, we encounter Victorian album makers; Modernist, Surrealist and Dadaist innovators; and radical, second-wave feminist artists. Thematic sections include profiles written by expert contributors on key individuals, including Hannah Höch, Dora Maar and Lorna Simpson. Looking to the future as much as the past, Cut Out also reveals how the pioneering work of contemporary and digital artists continues to subvert dominant narratives and foster ever-expanding forms of photographic collage.
At a moment when photography and its history are being actively contested and reappraised, Cut Out is a reminder of its political power.
My Morandi
The Italian painter Giorgio Morandi is recounted as a friend and artist in this memoir by Luigi Magnani, an art historian and devoted collector of Morandi's work.
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi painted serial and permutational arrangements of everyday objects that elevated the quotidian into the sublime. In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani.
My Morandi is the first full-length English translation of Magnani's memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi's paintings. In My Morandi, Magnani considers the artist's aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as recounts their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi's work at Magnani's villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Magnani's personal collection of Morandi's work was on view at David Zwirner, New York, in 2025. Originally published in 1982 in Italian, this memoir is accompanied by a new preface by Alice Ensabella and includes an introduction by Stefano Roffi, director of the Magnani Rocca Foundation.
Calder: Dreaming in Equilibrium
A richly illustrated exploration of Calder's deep ties to France and the evolution of his work
This book brings together more than three hundred works, testament to Alexander Calder's profound connection to France and the way he developed a radically modern body of work. It focuses on the evolution of Calder's work over his career, at times in harmony with the masterpieces of his contemporaries, such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, as well as his close circle, including Hans Arp, Joan Miró, and Fernand Léger. This dialogue between Calder and the international scene contextualizes his work's significance.
This richly illustrated book is edited by the exhibition's curators, Anna Karina Hofbauer and Dieter Buchhart. It features contributions from Elisabeth Hutton Turner, Chuz Martinez, Olivier Michelon, and Arnauld Pierre, as well as an interview between Sandy Rower and Jordana Mendelson.
Published in conjunction with the Alexander Calder retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, France
The Elements of Brand Design
Branding is a kind of alchemy, conjured from form, color, typography, imagery, sound, and motion. How do these elements work their magic on the way we perceive companies and products? From Netflix and Instagram to Nike and Deutsche Bank, this volume deconstructs the design DNA of recognizable brands from all over the world.
From the late 19th century, symbols and names were used to identify different products. Soon after, corporate colors arrived, then custom typefaces, and 'house styles' for brochures, posters, and packaging. Roll on a century, the digital revolution has brought about a whole new raft of media, brand touchpoints and consumer experiences. Today's designers and brand managers must keep interrogating the established principles to navigate these new playing fields. The work collected here proves that great brand creation and redesign are always rooted in conceptual individuality and visual originality.
Jens Müller and Katharina Sussek have structured more than 100 case studies in 17 chapters, each exploring a core element of brand identity, and conducted lengthy interviews with two design giants: Pentagram's Paula Scher and Michael Bierut, the creative minds behind some of the world's most famous brands.
From logo origination to creating pictogram systems, from the use of sound or moving images to generative AI, the volume delves deeper into the multifaceted work of creative studios and in-house design departments, at companies and institutions worldwide. Making for a completely riveting read and today's most comprehensive book on contemporary branding.
Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint painted as though she was channeling the universe. Fascinated from childhood by botany and mathematics, she began her career painting landscapes and portraits, but other preoccupations stirred within her: questions of spirit, unseen energies, patterns too vast for the eye alone.
Her art was inseparable from her spiritual practice. With a circle of female artists called The Five, she held séances, heard voices from "High Masters," and was inspired by the Theosophical Society and Rudolf Steiner’s theories. Working tirelessly to map life’s hidden dimensions, she would paint to the point of physical collapse.
By 1906, her canvases featured radiant geometries of spirals and orbs, impregnated with symbols, letters, and words, anticipating the later embrace of abstraction by Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, and others. Her vast painted cycles?like her works for the Temple and The Ten Largest?often depicted dualities: inside and out, the earthly and the esoteric, man and woman, good and evil.
Living as a vegetarian, questioning the fixity of gender, af Klint was clearly before her time, yet very much of it too, and pretty much uncelebrated in her day. Her prodigious output lay unseen for decades, locked away by her own instruction. Only in the 1980s did the world begin to recognize her as a true pioneer of abstract art.
This book invites you into her visionary world, via a luminous selection of her works and a detailed essay distilling their complexity. Her once-secret universe is revealed to us anew.
88,2 FM - Zrod legendy
Magických 36 let od vzniku fenoménu českého rozhlasového éteru! Na Evropě 2 začínali Leona Machálková, sourozenci Gondíkovi, ale taky Luďěk Hrzal nebo Vítek Pokorný. Až později stanice udělala hvězdy z Leoše Mareše, Patrika Hezuckého či Renáty Kajdžas.
Nová kniha Nakladatelství Olympia popisuje fenomenální a hlavně bleskový vstup prvního soukromého rádia do postkomunistického éteru ve vzpomínkách aktérů „první party moderátorů Evropy 2“ obohacené ještě o další vzpomínky kolegů a kolegyň, které dal odpovědně dohromady Libor Šprysl. 88,2FM – Zrod legendy také odhaluje, kdo byl v druhé polovině 90. let objevitelem momentálně největší hvězdy Evropě 2 Leoše Mareše.
„Měli jsme v devadesátkách naladěnu Evropu 2 všude, kde rádio bylo slyšet. Devadesátky byly ve znamení překotných změn ve všech oblastech a médiím se nevyhnuly rovněž. Vznik prvního soukromého rádia je od samého začátku shluk náhod, na jehož konci stojí fenomenální úspěch. Každá vzpomínka na devadesátky se musí zaznamenat, dokud si ještě něco pamatujeme. Proto jsme se do toho pustili. Není to deník ani dějepisná knížka. Jsem pyšný, že jsem mohl být součástí porevolučního kvasu, stejně jako dění u zrodu legendy. Nechceme být striktně přesní, abychom nebyli nudní, spíš popsat tu dobu z našeho pohledu. Každý z nás si pamatuje něco jiného, nějak jinak, a dohromady to dává docela zajímavý plastický obrázek. Z mejdanu na mejdan, přepudrovat obličej, a mohlo se opět vyrazit. Byla to krásná doba, o které se má mluvit ze všech úhlů pohledu. My jsme to zkusili.“

Queer Art (Art Essentials)
A concise, accessible and global overview of modern and contemporary queer art, co-written by notable curators in the field.
Queer Art is a commanding compendium of LGBTQIA+ art that highlights its ongoing resilience from the 19th century to the present day. Spanning generations and geographies, Queer Art's carefully curated selection of practitioners paints a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, underscoring the complexity of lived experience and cutting through the basic understanding of the subject that seeks to measure 'queerness' against overt homoeroticism and proven homosexuality.
Queer art curators Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley begin by exploring how resilience has shaped artistic expression, establishing the historical backdrop against which queer art has evolved. From liberation to intersectionality, reclamation to futurism, four thematic chapters unpack the key concerns of queer art as they relate to the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein and Xiyadie. By exploring the notion of 'queer art' through the lens of both historical figures and contemporary practitioners, Queer Art adopts a dual focus, traversing the past and present to reflect on covert histories whilst imagining radical futures in which art not only reflects but shapes social norms.
Drawing: Antony Gormley
A comprehensive overview of Antony Gormley's drawings from 1980 to the present, with insightful texts from the artist and major contributors.
'What is drawing?' the artist asks in the prologue to Drawing: Antony Gormley. 'What does it mean to draw?' This beautifully illustrated volume presents the first comprehensive overview of Antony Gormley's drawings from 1980 to the present day, offering an intimate and enlightening window into the artist's vision.
Illustrating over 400 works, many of which have never been seen or published before, this major new publication traces Gormley's exploration of drawing as a vital form of thought and feeling. The artist's own reflections punctuate the book with deeply personal insights into his process, including ruminations on drawing's possibilities - 'the act of drawing is its own experimental field, a journey into the unarmed parts of our internal landscape' - and meditations on 'the intrinsic qualities of substances and liquids', from charcoal, mushroom ink and blood to the earth beneath our feet.
Accompanying Gormley's writings are perceptive texts by Jeanette Winterson, Margaret Iversen, Daisy Hildyard, W.J.T. Mitchell and Merlin Sheldrake. Each contributor offers a unique perspective on Gormley's work and the wider meaning of drawing as an act of exploration and transformation.
Drawing: Antony Gormley stands as both a personal and artistic journey. As Gormley himself reflects, 'Drawings have immediacy. In a good session, drawing can be like going for a rugged, physical adventure on a blustery day with changing conditions of light and rain. A day passed without drawing is a day lost.'

První monografie Freda Kramera (1913–1994), nejvýznamnějšího českého reklamního fotografa padesátých až osmdesátých let, čerpá z rozsáhlého souboru autorových prací, které po jeho smrti věnovala do sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze jeho manželka. Kramer vystudoval ve třicátých letech pražskou Státní grafickou školu pod vedením profesora Karla Nováka, u něhož o desetiletí dříve studoval také Josef Sudek. V té době se Kramer věnoval i sociální fotografii. Po druhé světové válce, během níž byl internován v koncentračních táborech, se k fotografii zase vrátil. Vynikal zejména v ateliérové práci, kde spojil výtvarný odkaz avantgardy s poučeným vnímáním tehdejších obchodních strategií. V padesátých letech i později spolupracoval s podniky zahraničního obchodu (Jablonex, Skloexport, Centrotex, Kovo ad.) i s domácím Domem módy. Od roku 1967 do počátku devadesátých let byl externím pedagogem na pražské FAMU, kde vychoval řadu budoucích profesionálů. Těžiště výběru výstavy je v jeho pracích z šedesátých let, kdy jako jeden z mála využíval také barevnou fotografii a spolupracoval s předními grafiky. Do obecného povědomí se nejvíce zapsala jeho tzv. Košířská madona, starší reklamní fotografie, kterou si v osmdesátých letech vybrali jako svoji značku mladí vydavatelé samizdatové kulturní Revolver Revue. Publikace, navazující na stejnojmennou autorovu výstavní premiéru, má ctižádost toto povědomí podstatně rozšířit.

100 Movies of the 1980s
From Aliens to Amadeus, get your fill of 1980s nostalgia with this movie bible of all things bold, bizarre, and boisterous. We've diligently compiled a list of the most influential films of the 1980s that's sure to please popcorn gobblers and highbrow chin-strokers alike. Adventurous, excessive, and experimental, ’80s cinema saw moviegoers get their kicks from pictures as wide-ranging as Blade Runner, Gandhi, and Blue Velvet.
Science fiction, horror, and action emerged as the defining genres of the decade, with non-human characters like E.T. winning the hearts of millions, and movies such as Ghostbusters and Back to the Future fused comedy and sci-fi to the delight of audiences everywhere. Inside this ’80s encyclopedia each movie masterpiece is profiled with stills, a synopsis, and cast, crew, and technical listings.
With high-concept Hollywood blockbusters, early CGI, and brilliant special effects, the 1980s saw the invention of a new reality, a movie-world so convincingly real-no matter how far-fetched-that spectators could not help but immerse themselves in it.
Revitalizovaná budoucnost
Kniha Revitalizovaná budoucnost – Jak klimatizovat města a krajinu měkkou cestou Radoslava Dvořáka propojuje svět architektury s moudrostí přírody. Autor, původně architekt, se díky letům stráveným v přírodě proměňuje v pozorovatele jejích dokonalých systémů – a přináší tuto zkušenost zpět do měst.
V první části knihy detailně popisuje, jak přírodní ekosystémy (louky, křoviny, lesy) fungují jako soběstačné klimatizační jednotky, které zadržují vodu, obnovují půdu a vytvářejí harmonické prostředí. S věcností i poetikou odhaluje, jak každý detail, od kořenů po listy, slouží většímu celku.
Druhá část ukazuje, jak tyto principy aplikovat v městském prostoru. Dvořák představuje „měkkou metodu“: záhony místo betonu, keře jako přírodní klimatizaci, dešťovou vodu jako zdroj. Nabízí konkrétní řešení, která nevyžadují revoluci, ale pozornost a spolupráci s přírodou.
Kniha je určena nejen architektům a urbanistům, ale každému, kdo hledá cestu zpět – nebo spíš kupředu – s Přírodou jako spojencem.
