A Man and His Watch
Paul Newman wore his Daytona Rolex every single day for 35 years until his death in 2008. The iconic timepiece, probably the single most sought-after watch in the world, is now in the possession of his daughter Clea, who wears it every day in his memory. Franklin Roosevelt wore an elegant gold Tiffany watch, gifted to him by a friend on his birthday, to the famous Yalta Conference where he shook the hands of Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill. JFK's Omega worn to his presidential inauguration, Ralph Lauren's watch purchased from Andy Warhol's personal collection, Sir Edmund Hillary's Rolex worn during the first-ever summit of Mt. Everest...these and many more compose the stories of the world's most coveted watches captured in A Man and His Watch. Matthew Hranek, a watch collector and NYC men's style fixture, has travelled the world conducting firsthand interviews and diving into exclusive collections to gather the never-before- told stories of 76 watches, complete with stunning original photography of every single piece.
Grannis, Surf Photography
At a time when surfing is more popular than ever, it’s fitting to look back at the years that brought the sport into the mainstream. Developed by Hawaiian Islanders over five centuries ago, surfing began to peak on the mainland in the 1950s—becoming not just a sport, but a way of life, admired and exported across the globe. One of the key image-makers from that period is LeRoy Grannis, a surfer since 1931, who began photographing the longboard era of the early 1960s in both California and Hawaii.
This edition brings back Grannis’s hair-raising, sold-out Collector’s Edition, curated from the photographer’s personal archives, to showcase his most vibrant work in a compact and affordable format—from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu’s famed North Shore.
An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than any other photographer of the time. He also covered the emerging surf lifestyle, from “surfer stomps” and hordes of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era—a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best.
Street Fonts
Classic graffiti lettering and experimental typographical forms lie at the heart of street culture and have long inspired designers in many different fields. But graffiti artists, who tend to paint the same letters of their tag again and again, rarely design complete alphabets. Claudia Walde has spent over two years collecting alphabets by 154 artists from 30 countries with a view to showing the many different styles and approaches to lettering within the graffiti and street art cultures. All of the artists have roots in graffiti. Some are world renowned such as 123 Klan (Canada), Faith47 (South Africa) and Hera (Germany); others are lesser known or only now starting to emerge. Each artist received the same brief: to design all 26 letters of the Latin alphabet within the limits of a single page of the book. How they approached this task and selected the media with which to express their ideas was entirely up to them. The results are a fascinating insight into the creative process.
The Journal of a Skateboarder
At the age of twenty-nine, photographer Thomas Sweertvaegher spends most of his life on the road with friends, indulging his dual passions of photography and skating. Years of traveling the world together--always on the move and often carrying nothing more than a skateboard--have yielded the poignant photographs collected in this volume, where the skateboard remains a constant symbol of freedom, an extension of their identities, and the mark of their strong friendship.
Rolling on the margins of society, exploring the limits of life and his own young adulthood, Sweertvaegher captures whatever is happening around him during his travels. His shots take the reader on a journey, showing the highs and lows, bruises, and stitches of skating and street life, and ultimately celebrating the beauty such a life can bring.
While it captures Sweertvaegher's odyssey from a highly personal perspective, The Journal of a Skateboarder is at the same time a visual documentary of the skating world, and features key figures such as Axel Cruysberghs, Arto Saari, Dylan Rieder, and Rodney Mullen.
Jim Heimann - 20th Century Alcohol & Tobacco Ads
A Century's Worth of Pleasure and Pause
Selling the most delicious vices
Vices or virtues: drinking and smoking provided marketers with products to be forged into visual feasts. In this lush compendium of advertisements, we explore how depictions of these commodities spanned from the elegant to the offbeat, revealing how manufacturers prodded their customers throughout the 20th century to imbibe and inhale.
Each era's alcohol and tobacco trends are exuberantly captured page after page, with brand images woven into American popular culture so effectively that almost anyone could identify such icons as the Marlboro Man or Spuds MacKenzie, figures so familiar they could appear in ads without the product itself. Other advertisers devised clever and subliminal approaches to selling their wares, as the wildly successful Absolut campaign confirmed. Even doctors contributed to a perverse version of propaganda, testifying that smoking could calm your nerves and soothe your throat, while hailing liquor as an elixir capable of bringing social success.
Whether you savor these visual delights, or enjoy inhaling and wallowing in forbidden pleasures, you will certainly be thrilled by this exploration of a decidedly vibrant--and sometimes controversial--chapter of advertising history. "This excellent series never fails to amuse... A wonderful selection of the kitsch and the bizarre."

The Age of Spectacle
A great storyteller . . . you would be hard pushed to find a more knowledgeable or entertaining [guide]' Icon
'Such an interesting book . . . I cannot recommend it enough.' Lauren Laverne
In Dubai, a luxury apartment block is built in the shape of a giant iPod. In China, President Xi Jinping denounces the trend of constructing `bizarre' new buildings in wacky shapes and colours. In Cincinnati, celebrity architect Zaha Hadid is paid millions to design a single `iconic' structure - with the hope of single-handedly transforming the region's ailing fortunes. These incidents are all part of the same story: the rise of the age of spectacle.
Over the last fifty years, there has been a revolution in how our cities operate. In The Age of Spectacle, Tom Dyckhoff tells the story of how architecture became obsessed with the flashy, the monumental and the ostentatious - and how we all have to live with the consequences. Exploring cityscapes from New York to Beijing, and from Bilbao to Portsmouth, Dyckhoff shows that we are not just witnessing a new kind of building: we are living through a fundamental transformation in how our urban spaces work. The corporate explosion of the last few decades has fundamentally shifted the relationship between architects, politicians and cities' inhabitants, fostering innovative new kinds of engineering and design, but also facilitating ill-conceived vanity projects and commercial power-grabs.
Timely, passionate and bursting with new ideas, The Age of Spectacle is both an examination of how twenty-first century cities work, and a manifesto for a radically new kind of urbanism. Our cities, Dyckhoff shows, can thrive in the age of spectacle - but only if they engage us not just with dazzling structures, but by responding to the needs of the people who inhabit them.
'Engaging . . . The "iconic" building is the most obvious architectural phenomenon of our age yet, somehow, no one has quite done what Tom Dyckhoff does with The Age of Spectacle, which is to tell its story clearly and plainly.' Rowan Moore, Observer
'First class. Finally, a book that nails the iconic movement - Tom Dyckhoff's The Age of Spectacle is the book that I wish I had written.' Simon Jenkins
'Unusually accessible [and] well argued.' Evening Standard

Jak se dělá bluegrass
Obsáhlá publikace obsahuje vše potřebné, co by měl znát nejen bluegrassoví hudebníci, kteří se rozhodli hrát v kapele: Založení kapely, funkce jednotlivých nástrojů, první kroky na podiu či v nahrávacím studiu, shánění koncertů, možné problémy v kapelním a osobním životě - ale i spousta zajímavostí z historie bluegrassu.
Čas v súvislostiach
V poradí štvrtá kniha série o slovenskom výtvarnom umení z pera Jiřiny Diváckej Čas v súvislostiach má podtitul Slovenská postmoderna a jej výtvarné fenomény. Opäť v slovensko-anglickej mutácii predstavuje verejnosti 17 predstaviteľov súčasnej maliarskej a sochárskej slovenskej scény. Žiaľ, i keď ide o súčasných autorov, jeden z nich, profesor Jozef Jankovič nás pred niekoľkými mesiacmi opustil a vydania knihy, ktorú podporoval, sa nedožil. Profesor Ivan Csudai a jeho žiaci, docent Milan Lukáč, významný predstaviteľ súčasného sochárstva - či najmladší - sochárka Jana Brisudová, maliarka Noémi Kolčáková- Szakállová, alebo Júlia Haluzová a ich tvorba – to všetko sú fenomény dnes už nielen doma, ale aj za hranicami. Zaradili sme aj fotografickú tvorbu Antona Diváckého, nakoľko fotografia ako fenomén postmoderny vo fotografii nielen u nás, ale aj vo svete pomerne absentuje.
Kniha má 170 farebných fotografií výtvarných diel, portrétov autorov a návštev v ich ateliéroch či na spoločne uskutočnených výstavách.
The Book of Ornamental Alphabets
Whether you're a type nerd, an illustrator or a professional designer, The Book Of Ornamental Alphabets is the perfect sourcebook. FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1858, Frederick Delamotte's Ornamental Alphabets Ancient & Mediaeval was an immediate hit, and a huge influence on generations of designers in every medium.
An idiosyncratic, personal selection of over fifty scripts and typefaces, it remains guaranteed to inspire anyone with an interest in lettering, from designers and artists to tattooists, hand-letterers, and calligraphers.
Toiletpaper 13
Toiletpaper is an artists' magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari and born out of a shared passion for images. The magazine contains no text. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialisation of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toiletpaper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.
It's a Gas! - The Allure of the Gas Station
The first gasoline was sold in pharmacies--but this was to change in the 1950s. As the car experienced its great rise in popularity, gas stations began to pop up like mushrooms out of the ground. Futuristic and progressive, these modern temples of mobility became roadside reference points for young people hungry for independence, and to everyone who strove for a sense of freedom. It's a Gas! explores the surprisingly diverse world of the gas station--a functional high tech temple, a transit zone, a film set, a converted residence, or an abandoned ruin hidden in a backyard. The world of pumps is full of surprises, ready to be discovered in this book. The preface was written by US-American talkshow legend and passionate car collector Jay Leno. Sascha Friesike, Assistant Professor of Digital Innovation at VU University in Amsterdam and associated researcher at Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society Berlin, is the author of the crime series Grobmann und Pieper and photographer of gas stations.
Dějiny loutkového divadla v Evropě
Z publikace tohoto francouzského kritika a divadelního historika, která v originále poprvé vyšla už před více než 150 lety (v roce 1852), citují snad všechny starší i současné práce autorů zabývajících se dějinami evropského loutkového divadla. Magninova útlá knížka je dodnes respektovaným pramenem poznání v této oblasti zejména pro svou šíři záběru a shromáždění dosud nepublikovaných literárních pramenů i odkazů na muzejní sbírky. Co však běžného čtenáře na Magninově díle především zaujme, je zřetelné okouzlení loutkami vůbec, včetně estetických i etických požadavků na jejich tvorbu. Nové vydání tohoto překladu přináší původně dvoudílnou publikaci v jednom svazku. První díl obsahuje pohled na loutky ve starověku a středověku, samostatné kapitoly jsou věnovány loutkám v Itálii, Španělsku, Portugalsku a Francii. Na tuto část navazuje druhý díl s přehledem loutkového divadla v Anglii a tzv. severských zemích, čímž autor míní země na sever od Alp.
Divadlo a utopie
Divadlo jako chrám, divadlo jako lidová slavnost, divadlo jako model pro nové uspořádání společnosti. Polské divadelní studio Reduta (zal. 1919) bylo jedním z reformních divadel, která se kromě inscenačních experimentů zabývala hledáním zcela nových modelů společenského uspořádání. Jan Jiřík analyzuje ve své knize kořeny tohoto jevu, který pojímá v antropologické perspektivě jako vyústění hluboké společenské změny, zastřešené termínem modernismus, a fungování Reduty popisuje jako modernistickou utopii.
Chopins Piano
In November 1838 Frédéric Chopin, George Sand and her two children sailed to Majorca to escape the Parisian winter. They settled in an abandoned monastery at Valldemossa in the mountains above Palma, where Chopin finished what would eventually be recognised as one of the great and revolutionary works of musical Romanticism - his 24 Preludes. There was scarcely a decent piano on the island (these were still early days in the evolution of the modern instrument), so Chopin worked on a small pianino made by a local craftsman, which remained in their monastic cell for seventy years after he and Sand had left.
This brilliant and unclassifiable book traces the history of Chopin's 24 Preludes through the instruments on which they were played, the pianists who interpreted them and the traditions they came to represent. Yet it begins and ends with the Majorcan pianino, which during the Second World War assumed an astonishing cultural potency as it became, for the Nazis, a symbol of the man and music they were determined to appropriate as their own.
The unexpected hero of the second part of the book is the great keyboard player and musical thinker Wanda Landowska, who rescued the pianino from Valldemossa in 1913, and who would later become one of the most influential musical figures of the twentieth century. Kildea shows how her story - a compelling account based for the first time on her private papers - resonates with Chopin's, while simultaneously distilling part of the cultural and political history of Europe and the United States in the central decades of the century. Kildea's beautifully interwoven narratives, part cultural history and part detective story, take us on an unexpected journey through musical Romanticism and allow us to reflect freshly on the changing meaning of music over time.

Hokusai
Hokusai, a grand protagonist of ukiyo-e , his legacy and powerful influence on European art.
Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), an unchallenged master of ukiyo-e , the Floating World, active between the late 1700s and the first-half of the 1800s, stands out on the art scene not only for his Great Wave and the series Thirty-six V iews of Mount Fuji of which the print is a part, but also his great versatility expressed in his treatment of all types of subjects: from landscapes to nature, kabuki actor portraits, beautiful women, warriors and even ghosts and spirits, semi-legendary beings and animals. Hokusai is also associated with many changes: of residence, of name (over thirty, even though the main ones are six), of style, with dozens of followers, each of which, in some way, represents one aspect in the Master’s vast oeuvre. These include Shinsai, Hokkei and Gakutei who influenced the following generation of artists, together with another individual, who is not considered a direct student of Hokusai but who nonetheless determined in an interesting way the developments in prints of beauty and landscape from 1810 to 1830: Keisai Eisen.
Through a selection of over 250 works from the Municipal Museum of Chiba and other Japanese collections, this publication offers a reading of Hokusai that also includes his legacy, accompanying and comparing his output with that by others who followed in his footsteps and gave life to new lines, forms and balances of colour within the classic themes of ukiyo-e and landscape, nature, beauty, actors, heroes and warriors.
Praha nepostavená
Přelom století, a zejména následné období Československé republiky, přinesl řadu nových urbanistických vizí. Po letech vídeňského vlivu se najednou naskytla možnost pokusit se učinit z Prahy moderní velkoměsto a uplatnit tak i dlouho potlačované emancipační ambice českého národa. Pořádalo se množství soutěží na řešení budov i celých území, které měly významně ovlivnit obraz města. Velká většina z navrhovaných projektů se realizace nedočkala, a tak mnohé vizionářské obrazy pražských ulic a prostranství zůstaly pouze na papíře. Právě tyto neuskutečněné projekty, do kterých architekti a urbanisté promítali své představy o Praze jako sebevědomé metropoli nové doby, jsou tématem knihy Praha nepostavená.
