Španělský a Německý sál na Pražském hradě v 19. století
Publikace je věnována přestavbě reprezentačních sálů v severním křídle Pražského hradu, k níž došlo v souvislosti s uvažovanou královskou korunovací Františka Josefa I. Na základě rozsáhlého archivního průzkumu rekonstruuje průběh stavebních prací, zabývá se autorstvím projektu a zodpovídá otázku, do jaké míry jsou oba prostory produktem 19. století a co je naopak zachováno ze starší výzdoby. Analyzuje stylovou fyziognomii obou reprezentativních interiérů, zkoumá jejich funkci jako symbol dynastické tradice a legitimity, rekonstruuje historický a sociální kontext přestavby. Nahlíží oba sály jako politické a ceremoniální prostory a studuje souvislost interiérové architektury a dvorského ceremoniálu Habsburků.
Velké tajemství Raffaelovy Athénské školy
Athénská škola malíře Raffaela patří k nejslavnějším a nejpůsobivějším výtvarným dílům vůbec. Tento výjev skrývá velké tajemství, které dosud unikalo odhalení. Kniha přináší poznání toho, co se na obraze skutečně odehrává, kdo jsou jednotlivé ztvárněné postavy a proč zde jsou a jak vlastně celá freska působí na pozorovatele v hloubi jeho duše. Odhalit toto skryté Raffaelovo poselství by ovšem nebylo možné bez poznání jeho dřívějších inkarnací.

Hrana hry aneb Hry na hru
Karel Haloun (1951) je výtvarník, grafický designér, publicista, editor, kurátor, nehrající člen kapel Jasná páka a Hudba Praha a docent UMPRUM. Tato kniha ho představuje jako undergroundového autora sedmi pozoruhodných dramatických her a hříček: (Stříbrný) medvěd, (Skoro) dobrá píseň, Konec hry (s nadějí), Syflárna, Vicemistři, Na výletě a Zakousli pejska. Projevuje se v nich jako ironický glosátor reality se smyslem pro groteskní vidění, absurditu, hravost a barvitý jazyk vysokého i nízkého stylu. Knihu uzavírá Halounova bibliografie a tři studie: Karel Král v textu O špagetě, která hledá svůj konec nahlíží na autora spolugeneračním pohledem, Libor Vodička se ve studii A proč by se nedaly hrát? zabývá nejenom hratelností těchto textů, ale fenoménem hry v Halounových textech vůbec a Michal Čunderle provádí jazykovou analýzu Halounových řečí.
Fra Angelico and the Rise of the Florentine Renaissance
Fra Angelico and the Rise of the Florentine Renaissance investigates the beginnings of Florentine Renaissance art, with the friar painter Fra Angelico at the centre of the story. Fra Angelico is one of the great masters of Renaissance art and responsible for its early achievements in Florence alongside the painters Masaccio, Masolino, Uccello and Filippo Lippi, the sculptors Ghiberti, Donatello, and Nanni di Banco, and the architect Brunelleschi. Fra Angelico is sometimes seen as separate from his contemporaries, because of his status as a friar.
A reconsideration of the chronology of his key early works demonstrates that not only was he a full participant in the artistic culture of his times, but a key innovator: the Prado's great Annunciation Altarpiece, Fra Angelico's breakthrough work from the mid-1420s, is the first Renaissance-style altarpiece in Florence. The Altarpiece has been the subject of extensive conservation and technological research at the Prado, the results of which are presented for the first time here. This catalogue focuses around that masterpiece, as well as two other recently acquired Fra Angelico paintings: the Alba Madonna and the Funeral of Saint Anthony Abbot.
Lacná kniha Renoir (-25%)
Often misunderstood, Pierre-Auguste Renoirremains one of history’s most-loved painters—undoubtedly because his works exude such warmth, tenderness, and good cheer. Gathering brilliant reproductionsand sketches, as well as photosand a complete chronologyillustrating his life and work, this is the essential work of referenceon Renoir.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s (1841–1919) timelessly charming paintings still reflect our ideals of happiness, love, and beauty. Derived from our large-format volume, the most comprehensive retrospective of his work published to date, this compact edition examines the personal history and motivation behind the legend. Though he began by painting landscapes in the Impressionist style, Renoir found his true affinity in portraits, after which he abandoned the Impressionists altogether. Though often misunderstood, Renoir remains one of history’s most well-loved painters—undoubtedly because his works exude such warmth, tenderness, and good spirit.
In an incisive text tracing the artist’s career and stylistic evolution, Gilles Néret shows how Renoirreinvented the painted female form, with his everyday goddesses and their plump forms, rounded hips and breasts. Renoir’s later phase, marked by his return to the simple pleasure of the female nude in his baigneusesseries, was his most innovative and stylistically influential, and would inspire such masters as Matisse and Picasso.
With acomplete chronology,bibliography, photos, sketches, and brilliant reproductions, this is theessential work of reference on this enduring master artist.

Amour
Award-winning journalist and documentary maker Stefania Rousselle had stopped believing in love. She had covered a series of bleak assignments, from terrorist attacks to the rise of the far right. Her relationship had fallen apart. Her faith in humanity was shaken. She decided to set out alone on a road trip across France, sleeping in strangers' homes, asking ordinary men and women the one question everyone wants to know the answer to: what is love?
From a baker in Normandy to a shepherd in the Pyrenees, from a gay couple estranged from their families to a widow who found love again at 70, Amour is a treasure trove of poignant and profound stories about love, accompanied by beautiful photographs.
Sebastiao Salgado. Gold
"What is it about a dull yellow metal that drives men to abandon their homes, sell their belongings and cross a continent in order to risk life, limbs and sanity for a dream?" - Sebastiao Salgado
When Sebastiao Salgado was finally authorized to visit Serra Pelada in September 1986, having been blocked for six years by Brazil's military authorities, he was ill-prepared to take in the extraordinary spectacle that awaited him on this remote hilltop on the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Before him opened a vast hole, some 200 meters wide and deep, teeming with tens of thousands of barely-clothed men. Half of them carried sacks weighing up to 40 kilograms up wooden ladders, the others leaping down muddy slopes back into the cavernous maw. Their bodies and faces were the color of ochre, stained by the iron ore in the earth they had excavated.
After gold was discovered in one of its streams in 1979, Serra Pelada evoked the long-promised El Dorado as the world's largest open-air gold mine, employing some 50,000 diggers in appalling conditions. Today, Brazil's wildest gold rush is merely the stuff of legend, kept alive by a few happy memories, many pained regrets-and Sebastiao Salgado's photographs.
Color dominated the glossy pages of magazines when Salgado shot these images. Black and white was a risky path, but the Serra Pelada portfolio would mark a return to the grace of monochrome photography, following a tradition whose masters, from Edward Weston and Brassai to Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson, had defined the early and mid-20th century. When Salgado's images reached The New York Times Magazine, something extraordinary happened: there was complete silence. "In my entire career at The New York Times," recalled photo editor Peter Howe, "I never saw editors react to any set of pictures as they did to Serra Pelada."
Today, with photography absorbed by the art world and digital manipulation, Salgado's portfolio holds a biblical quality and projects an immediacy that makes them vividly contemporary. The mine at Serra Pelada has been long closed, yet the intense drama of the gold rush leaps out of these images.
This book gathers Salgado's complete Serra Pelada portfolio in museum-quality reproductions, accompanied by a foreword by the photographer and an essay by Alan Riding.Also available in a signed and limited Collector's Edition and as an Art Edition.
Video/Art
The curator who founded MoMA's video program recounts the artists and events that defined the medium's first 50 years Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making. In this book, curator Barbara London traces the history of video art as it transformed into the broader field of media art - from analog to digital, small TV monitors to wall-scale projections, and clunky hardware to user-friendly software. In doing so, she reveals how video evolved from fringe status to be seen as one of the foremost art forms of today.

Peter Lindbergh
Peter Lindbergh's Images of Women is now available in this new unabridged compact edition.
Lindbergh, who passed away in 2019, took a comprehensive look at his body of work from the 1980s and '90s and hand selected these black-and-white photographs of the most beautiful and famous women in the world. It was the era of the supermodels, a phenomenon he himself had helped create, and he left his own unique stamp upon it, influencing an entire generation of fashion photographers with his distinct style. Lindbergh was always interested in the aura, individuality, and personality of his models which resulted in images that captured an ideal of beauty more than just perfection and glamour.
This splendid monograph represents the definitive collection of Lindbergh's considerable oeuvre: classic fashion photographs, arresting candids, portraits of female celebrities--including Madonna, Isabella Rossellini, Sharon Stone, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Daryl Hannah--and of course his signature shots of the world's supermodels.
Navzdory
Posledních padesát let české architektury je obvykle děleno na dvě zdánlivě nesouvisející části – tu normalizační před listopadem 1989 a mnohem barvitější a svobodnější ve třech následujících desetiletích. Je to pravda, nebo iluze? Publikace s příznačným názvem NAVZDORY, vydaná ke stejnojmenné výstavě,představuje řadu známých i téměř neznámých architektů pod zorným úhlem zápasů o svobodu občanskou i tvůrčí v roli aktérů vymezujících se proti politické i komerční totalitě.
Kniha na konkrétních příbězích mapuje obranu historických památek a veřejného prostoru před bouráním a privatizací, vznik a fungování neformálních či neoficiálních sdružení a struktur, různé formy popularizace výjimečných architektonických hodnot nebo zapojování široké veřejnosti do diskusí o budoucí podobě budov a urbanistických struktur. Bezmála osmdesátpříkladů těchto „ostrůvků pozitivní deviace“ doplňuje kapitola o vzniku Obce architektů po listopadu 1989 a přerodu architektonické profese ve svobodné povolání a prosazení České komory architektů.

Význam v architektuře Západu
Kniha Význam v architektuře Západu proslulého teoretika architektury Christiana Norberga-Schulze představuje souborný pokus vylíčit základní proměny západního stavitelského umění. Nejde však o běžné akademické dějiny autor na základě svého pojetí architektury jakožto prostředku vyjádření v této knize rozvinul zcela nový způsob, jak pohlížet na architekturu Západu. Vykládá všechny hlavní epochy západního umění od starověkého Egypta do dnešních dnů a sleduje nejvýznamnější stavební díla v kontextu sídel a měst, do nichž se integrovala. Největší část textu se vztahuje k popisu a interpretaci budov, a čtenář tak krok za krokem prochází jednotlivá dějinná období a na vybraných stavbách vidí, jaké významy se v nich zhmotňují. Význam v architektuře Západu tak přináší vzácný vhled do lidských hodnot a světonázorů, jež se projevují v různorodých architektonických stylech. Kniha představuje jedinečný příspěvek jak k dějinám umění, tak k existenciálnímu myšlení.

Pilníkářství
Publikace se věnuje méně známému řemeslnému fenoménu, jehož minulosti, sociálním a kulturním souvislostem existence byla doposud věnována jen malá pozornost. Kniha zpřístupňuje výsledky několikaletého historicko-etnologického výzkumu realizovaného Václavem Michaličkou. Autor se svém textu věnuje nejen historickým okolnostem uplatnění této rukodělné výroby v českém prostředí. Svoji pozornost zaměřil také k tomu, nakolik tato specifická výroba ovlivnila život lokálního společenství i jednotlivých rodin pilníkářů na pomezí Moravy a Čech.
Francis Bacon
Published to accompany the first Francis Bacon retrospective in Paris for twenty years, this catalogue analyses Bacon's works from 1971 onwards in light of his relationship to literature. Bacon always vigorously opposed over-analysis of his paintings, preferring to interpret them in purely illustrative or symbolic terms; he admitted, however, that literature was a powerful stimulus to his imagination. The artist was inspired by the images conjured up by certain texts: Aeschylus' phrase 'the reek of human blood smiles out at me' in particular haunted Bacon, while his 1978 work Painting refers to T. S. Eliot's seminal poem The Waste Land. The inventory of Bacon's personal library has identified more than 1,300 books, ranging from Bataille and Conrad to Nietzsche and Leiris.
Including twelve of Bacon's renowned triptychs, this lavish publication features eleven gatefolds and some sixty paintings created by Bacon between 1971 and his death in 1992. Reproduced here with analyses of Bacon's paintings in the light of some of his most admired authors, these specially commissioned texts reveal new ways of understanding some of the most powerful works in the modern canon.
Yayoi Kusama - All About My Love
Avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama's matchless creativity and originality have been captivating the world since she moved from Matsumoto, her hometown in Nagano, Japan, to the USA in 1958. In the last ten years alone, her retrospective exhibitions in four major European and American museums, including Tate Modern, London, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, have seen record attendance.
Kusama has continuously innovated and re-invented her style. Well-known for her repeating dot patterns, her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation. It ranges from works on paper featuring intense semi-abstract imagery, to soft sculpture known as 'Accumulations', to her 'Infinity Net' paintings, made up of carefully repeated arcs of paint built up into large patterns. This comprehensive publication, originally published to accompany a sell-out exhibition at Matsumoto City Museum of Art, offers a comprehensive overview of Kusama's entire career, including works from her youth, when she indulged in drawing in order to escape from her hallucinations; paintings made when she was based in New York, including 'Infinity Nets' and 'Polka Dots'; works from the1980s and 1990s, when she participated in the Venice Biennale; and last but not least, the ongoing large-scale series 'My Eternal Soul'. The plates are in chronological order and followed by detailed captions.
A Chronology of Architecture
A Chronology of Architecture presents a fresh perspective on the medium by taking a purely chronological approach to its history, tracing the complex links between structural innovations, social changes, and artistic interventions. Organized around a central timeline that charts the development of architecture from the earliest structures to the present-day skyscrapers and global cities, it features key buildings, together with commentaries and contextual information about the social, political and cultural events of the period in which they were built. Special feature spreads highlight important movements, construction methods and key practitioners. Covering a wide selection of genres, styles and architects, it is invaluable as a comprehensive guide to architecture in all its different forms.
