Alexander Calder: Minimal Maximal


Few artists are able to work successfully on both large and small scales, but throughout his career Calder brilliantly moved from the miniature to the monumental and back again. This publication focuses on the enormous stabiles he created mostly for public places, as well as his elegant hanging mobiles in sheet metal, miniature standing mobiles, and chess sets, shedding light on the social and performative aspects of his work. Essays explore how Calder approached the effects of kinetics and space, solidity and transparency, stasis and activity, volume and void. The book also looks at how Calder's small-scale sculptures echoed the public spectacle of his larger pieces, creating a "private drama" that encouraged direct participation. Whatever the size, Calder's works employed movement and interaction in unpredictable ways, and this enlightening book helps readers appreciate the important continuity of his oeuvre.

The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne


The provocative pop artist's on-screen experiments, newly brought to light in this essential reference work In the 1960s, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) produced hundreds of film and video works-short and long, silent and sound, scripted and improvised. This catalogue raisonne of the artist's films, a complement to 2006's Andy Warhol Screen Tests, focuses on works he produced from 1963 to 1965. Detailed cataloguing of each work is combined with orienting and enlightening essays that cover Warhol's influences, source material, working methods, and technical innovations, as well as his engagement with the people he filmed and how they came to life on the screen. In addition, rich entries offer detailed summaries and analysis of more than a hundred individual works. The vigorous illustration program includes countless stills and documentary images to further elucidate the film works, including many that have circulated only rarely. Warhol's dynamic and creative approach to filmmaking redefined the genre, drawing audiences and receiving positive attention along with deep criticism. In 1970, he placed his films in storage for the next 14 years, taking them out of public view and distribution. During that time, critics and audiences could only piece together information about these works from hearsay, verbal accounts, and reviews. Since then, the works have been studied, preserved, and catalogued, culminating in this volume, which illuminates the true significance of Warhol's radical experiments in film and his mastery of the medium.

The V&A Sourcebook of Pattern and Ornament


The wealth of surface pattern and three-dimensional ornamentation in the many objects that enrich our lives is testament to the inventiveness of designers and craftspeople around the globe and throughout history. This richly illustrated, easy-to-navigate sourcebook presents more than 1,000 historic and contemporary examples of pattern and ornamentation from around the world, each one succinctly identified and explained. Arranged thematically, it is unique among pattern books, as it includes examples not only of surface pattern but also of three-dimensional ornamentation and embellishment. Two-dimensional pattern is ubiquitous, no matter what the age of an object or where it was created. From Japanese kimono and William Morris fabrics to Chinese porcelain and contemporary furniture, such works reveal humanity's unceasing desire to combine pattern with design. Just as prevalent are examples of three-dimensional embellishments that go far beyond the requirements of their practical use: an acrylic handbag has a carved motif of insects and wildflowers, a cobalt-blue pottery ewer has a dragon's-head spout and an early 19th-century fruit plate is shaped like a seashell. Designers working today are as fascinated and inspired by pattern and ornament as they have always been. This expertly compiled selection will appeal to designers, artists, illustrators and other creatives from all disciplines as well as anyone interested in visual and material culture. With 1146 illustrations in colour

Filmové plakáty


Tvorba filmových plakátů je stará jako film samotný. Plakáty zpočátku poukazovaly na téma propagovaného filmu: od dobrodružství a romantiky až po napínavé a mrazivé horory. Poté, s nástupem fenoménu filmových hvězd, začaly prodávat zejména hollywoodský životní styl. Tato kniha, plná plakátů z nejrůznějších částí světa a všech období filmové tvorby, je podrobnou historií jednoho z nejzajímavějších reklamních médií. Obsahuje kapitoly zaměřené na tvůrce plakátů, vývoj stylů, vliv politiky a ideologie i na to, jakou roli ve vývoji filmového plakátu hrála komerce. Je to zábavná, poučná a strhující cesta po kinematografii, umění a obchodu, který láká miliony diváků do pokladen kin. Oproti původnímu vydání kniha obsahuje i 16 nových stran o vývoji českého a slovenského filmového plakátu!

Jakou roli hrála kinematografie při procesu vyrovnávání se katolické církve s moderním světem? A jaká jsou katolická specifika vztahu mezi uměním a vírou?

Frank Gehry: The Masterpieces


An authoritative compendium on the main masterpieces of Frank Gehry, including 480 illustrations and photographs, produced in collaboration with Cahiers d'Art. Experimenting with a range of materials from cheap mass-produced items to space-age titanium, and using 3D computer modeling as an architectural tool, Frank Gehry's buildings are remarkable and surprising, united by the sense of movement they convey. His projects flow, curve, bend, and crumple in novel and unexpected ways, subverting traditional building norms. From his own home in Santa Monica to the undu­lating Beekman Tower in New York, from the shining curves of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, and his most recent construction, Luma Arles, Gehry has left his indelible mark on the history of architectural design. Forty of the renowned architect's most remarkable works are presented by architect and critic Jean-Louis Cohen, alongside views of the interiors and exteriors of each building. This tour includes many of Gehry's works throughout the United States and abroad, such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the one-of-a-kind "Binoc­ulars Building" in Los Angeles, and the beloved "Dancing House" in Prague.

Historická a současná architektura


Existuje rozdíl mezi historickou a současnou architekturou? Historická architektura je často vnímána jako samostatná, uzavřená etapa výstavby, ke které máme jako společnost poněkud ambivalentní vztah. Považujeme ji za součást kulturního dědictví, jejíž ochranu a obnovu svěřujeme specialistům, zároveň její ochranu často vnímáme jako překážku dalšího rozvoje a uplatnění současných požadavků na užívání domů. Mnozí v ní nehledají příležitost ani inspiraci, namísto její obnovy volí jednodušší cestu k současným, často mnohem méně osobitým a kvalitním formám. Tato kniha je stručným shrnutím zkušeností z přípravy a realizace téměř stovky projektů rekonstrukcí, obnovy a dostaveb památkově chráněných staveb, souborů a území, převážně na půdorysu Pražské památkové rezervace a v památkových zónách nebo areálech ve středních Čechách. Je příspěvkem k dialogu o hledání podstaty, kvality a hodnot architektury jako takové, bez ohledu na to, v které době byla vytvořena. Ostatně, také termín historická architektura je podle autora relativní. Pravděpodobně každý architekt se totiž dožije toho, že jeho práce, kdysi současná a aktuální, je posuzována měřítkem času a srovnávána se stavbami o mnoho staršími i mladšími.

Vogue Paris: 100 Years


Vogue Paris has always been so much more than a fashion magazine. It has assumed a central and vital role on the international cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. It has acted as a cultural bellwether, putting fashion in the context of the larger world in which we live and mirroring its times - the postwar renaissance of Paris and haute couture, the New Wave, the radical seventies, the glamorous eighties. As it enters its second century, it remains at the cutting edge of photography and design. Published to mark the magazine's centenary, this book celebrates Vogue Paris's history from its first issue in 1920 to its current incarnation with Emmanuelle Alt at the helm. On its pages are creations by some of the greatest artists of their era, whether distinguished illustrators such as Lepape, Gruau and Benito, or photographers such as Man Ray, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Mario Testino. Here, too, are iconic faces: Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Kate Moss and more. And of course, it showcases the fashion designers who defined the century - Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, McQueen - and explores more broadly the changing mores of the past hundred years.

Louvre


Almost nine million people from all over the world flock to the Louvre in Paris every year to see its incomparable art collection. Yet few, if any, are aware of the remarkable history of that location and of the buildings themselves, and how they chronicle the history of Paris itself-a fascinating story that historian James Gardner elegantly tells for the first time. Before the Louvre was a museum, it was a palace, and before that a fortress. But much earlier still, it was a place called le Louvre for reasons unknown. People had inhabited that spot for more than 6,000 years before King Philippe Auguste of France constructed a fortress there in 1191 to protect against English soldiers stationed in Normandy. Two centuries later, Charles V converted the fortress to one of his numerous royal palaces. After Louis XIV moved the royal residence to Versailles in 1682, the Louvre inherited the royal art collection, which then included the Mona Lisa, given to Francis by Leonardo da Vinci; just over a century later, during the French Revolution, the National Assembly established the Louvre as a museum to display the nation's treasures. Subsequent leaders of France, from Napoleon to Napoleon III to Francois Mitterand, put their stamp on the museum, expanding it into the extraordinary institution it has become. With expert detail and keen admiration, James Gardner links the Louvre's past to its glorious present, and vibrantly portrays how it has been a witness to French history - through the Napoleonic era, the Commune, two World Wars, to this day - and home to a legendary collection whose diverse origins and back stories create a spectacular narrative that rivals the building's legendary stature.
