The Hidden Language of Flowers
Thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection.
This volume focuses on thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection, such as Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, Van der Weyden's The Descent from the Cross and Fra Angelico's The Annunciation. Each of the thirty plants is accompanied by a commentary by Eduardo Barba and a botanical illustration by Juan Luis Castillo, as well as a complete detailed reproduction of the work in the Museum.
In the words of Eduardo Barba: ‘Many works of art are full of plants. In others, they are a little more hidden. In all cases, botany is an indispensable part of the story that the artist wants to tell: there are flowers that allude to the dynasty of the person portrayed, leaves that sum up a feeling, trees that transmit to the scene qualities that are specific to them. The species chosen could be present in the artist's surroundings, even at the foot of his studio. On other occasions, however, and as a result of expeditions to different parts of the world, exotic plants from distant countries were incorporated, enriching the artistic flora, especially from the 16th century onwards. In any case, the works of art bear witness to the fascinating ability of artists to observe the natural environment, who portrayed plants with delicacy, as if they were just another character.
William Eggleston: The Last Dyes
This momentous publication catalogues the last major group of William Eggleston’s photographs to ever be produced using the dye-transfer method, the format in which he originally presented his work.
Eggleston’s vivid photographs transform the ordinary into distinctive, poetic images that eschew fixed meaning. One of the foremost practitioners in the medium’s history, Eggleston is widely considered the father of color photography. He pioneered the use of dye-transfer printing for art photography in the 1970s. The technically advanced process?first developed by Kodak in the 1940s?allowed him to achieve the richness of tonal depth and color saturation that he had been searching for. In the early 1990s, Kodak stopped producing the dyes, paper, and film used in the process. With the necessary materials now discontinued, and the bulk of what remained being used for the major group of work presented at David Zwirner in Los Angeles, The Last Dyes marks the final presentation of new works completed in this medium.
The publication includes a new essay by Jeffrey Kastner, offering critical insights into Eggleston’s enduring influence at this turning point in the history of photography

Patti Smith - Horses, Paris 1976
Patti Smith: Horses, Paris 1976 is a gorgeous collection of never-before-published photographs of music legend Patti Smith, taken by rock-n-roll photographer Claude Gassian during the release of her iconic album Horses. "A big and beautiful gift-worthy holiday art book" (New York Times)
In 1975, Patti Smith released Horses, a seminal album in punk and rock music history. Lauded by critics, and often cited as the first punk rock album, Horses has influenced artists like U2, Madonna, and R.E.M.
Over the following year, she and her band visited Paris multiple times to perform, to accept awards, and to absorb the city's culture. Gassian beautifully captures this moment in time.
As Patti writes, Claude Gassian's photography is "a glimpse of the highly charged atmosphere of 1976 and the joyful hubris of a rock n' roll band."
These are previously unpublished images that show a young artist on the cusp of world stardom, and they will be catnip for her fans and for music historians.

Železo v krvi
Viktor Mácha bol posledným fotografom, ktorý zdokumentoval ukrajinské závody ťažkého priemyslu pred ruskou inváziou. Cestoval až za Ural – ba dokonca až do brazílskych pralesov alebo na juh Afriky. Čierne diery mu vydávajú jeho prvú knihu. Pretože je celosvetovo unikátna. Nikto nemá zbierku ako on. A to nie je vyštudovaný fotograf, ale teológ z Univerzity Karlovej v Prahe. Fotí pomníky industriálnej éry, niektoré krátko pred zánikom, pričom táto kniha sa zameriava na krajiny bývalého východného bloku, kde sa mnohé závody zachovali ešte v pôvodnom stave – od Slovenska a Česka až po Rumunsko a Rusko.
Led Zeppelin - Všechny písně
94 skladeb na 608 stranách: kniha Led Zeppelin - Všechny písně představuje jednu z nejzásadnějších kapel v dějinách rocku, jejíž melodie, rytmy i kytarová sóla překonala desetiletí a zůstávají stále stejně strhující a inspirativní.
Led Zeppelin vznikli na podzim roku 1968 jako přímí následovníci skupiny The Yardbirds a během následující dekády ovládli světovou rockovou scénu. Dokázali naplnit sen celé generace, která se právě vzpamatovávala z bolestného rozpadu Beatles. Blues rock, folk rock, hard rock, progresivní rock… hudba této čtveřice měla mnoho tváří. Utvářela budoucnost rock'n'rollu, přičemž čerpala z bluesových kořenů a starobylých hudebních tradic Britských ostrovů - včetně balad.
V této knize jsou podrobně analyzovány texty, hudba a aranžmá všech 94 skladeb Led Zeppelin, a to převážně na základě dobových rozhovorů s členy kapely, ale i svědectví producentů a zvukařů, kteří je na jejich hudební cestě provázeli.
Publikace otevírá dveře do nahrávacích studií - od Olympic Sound Studios v Londýně až po Polar Studios ve Stockholmu - a ukazuje význam i rozmanitost použitých nástrojů. Přináší množství jedinečných a dosud málo známých detailů, které nadchnou každého fanouška Zeppelinů.

Disordered Attention
How technology and the attention economy has impacted contemporary art
The ways we encounter contemporary art and performance is changing. Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design. How are we expected to engage with today's diverse practise? Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling?
Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice - research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernist architecture - and their challenges to traditional modes of attention. Charting a critical path through the last three decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures of digital technology.

Hokusai. Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji has long been a centerpiece of Japanese cultural imagination, and nothing captures this with more virtuosity than the landmark woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). The renowned printmaker documents 19th-century Japan with exceptional artistry and adoration, celebrating its countryside, cities, people, and serene natural beauty. Produced at the peak of Hokusai’s artistic ambition, the series is a quintessential work of ukiyo-e that earned the artist world-wide recognition as a leading master of his craft.
The prints illustrate Hokusai’s own obsession with Mount Fuji as well as the flourishing domestic tourism of the late Edo period. Just as the mountain was a cherished view for travelers heading to the capital Edo (now Tokyo) along the Tokaido road, Mount Fuji is the infallible backdrop to each of the series’ unique scenes. Hokusai captures the distinctive landscape and provincial charm of each setting with a vivid palette and exquisite detail.
Including the iconic Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa (also The Great Wave), this widely celebrated series is a treasure of international art history. Among only a few complete reprints of the series, this XL edition pays homage to Hokusai’s striking colors and compositions with unprecedented care and magnitude. Bound in the Japanese tradition, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji presents the original 36 plates plus the additional 10 later added by the artist.
The perfect companion piece to TASCHEN’s One Hundred Views of Edo and The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, this publication paints an enchanting picture of pre-industrial Japan and is itself a stunning monument to the art of woodblock printing.
