Helen Levitt
Published to accompany a major touring exhibition, this is the most comprehensive survey to date of the groundbreaking American photographer Helen Levitt.
Over six decades, Helen Levitt (1913–2009) explored the streets of her native New York with a handheld camera. Influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson, she found inspiration in the theatre and spontaneity of the street, capturing everyday moments in urban life and forging a distinct visual language from her private observations. Exuding a keen warmth and sensitivity for human gesture and movement, her photographs capture, in James Agee’s words, the ‘pure spontaneity of true folk art’.
Accompanying a major touring exhibition of Levitt’s work, the first of its kind to draw from her complete archive, this ambitious publication showcases her entire output. It not only includes her best-known photographs, but also features rarely seen early works from her first year using a Leica and all fifty works from the original edit of her classic 1965 photobook A Way of Seeing, with record prints preserved by Levitt herself.
Essays by a range of scholars and specialists hone in on key thematic, technical and biographical aspects of Levitt’s life and work, including an examination of the photos she took during her trip to Mexico in 1941, her innovative use of colour in the 1950s and her late work from the 1980s, providing an authoritative insight into one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.
David Gilmour — Luck and Strange — Studio/Live
This intimate photo chronicle by Polly Samson documents both the recording of David Gilmour's No. 1 album Luck and Strange and the acclaimed tour which saw the Pink Floyd legend playing sellout shows in Rome, London, LA and New York.
Samson, who is Gilmour’s partner and creative collaborator, as well as an acclaimed novelist / photographer in her own right, captures the process as the album takes shape: from conception and recording, off-duty and studio immersion, to release and live performance; from candid behind-the-scenes shots, to theatrical stage moments. We see an artist at work, the collaborative process, the moments of light relief – and the focus as the work takes flight.
The book features the unmistakable hand lettering of Anton Corbijn on the cover and throughout, plus an interview by rock photographer Jill Furmanovsky with Polly Samson that sheds light on a photographer’s craft, as well as providing insights into Samson's relationship with Gilmour. The foreword is written by the late Alan Yentob.
The Story of the Interior
An exhilarating and eclectic volume on the social, cultural and technological history of interior design from prehistory to the present day, revealing how spaces shape our lives and why it matters. From traditional nomadic dwellings to state-of-the-art airports, through monumental temples and Baroque palaces to high-rise apartments and high-fashion boutiques, The Story of the Interior explores an exciting array of inside spaces from around the world to reveal how the fundamental elements of a room have evolved and endured. Organized in three parts – The Room, The Private Interior and The Public Interior – the book presents a fascinating account of how the interior has been conceived and thought of from antiquity to the present day.
By calling attention to the most basic elements of inside space – walls, doors, windows, furniture, ambience to name a few – this engaging exploration delves into how private and public interiors actively shape the way we live, work, learn and play. The book spans a wide range of iconic and offbeat examples drawn from the world of architecture, urbanism and furniture design, as well as art installations and imagined spaces. Brooker deftly guides us through interiors as diverse as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Olafur Eliasson’s The Weather Project, the Prada store in Marfa, Texas, and Sou Fujimoto’s NA House, as well as the rock-cut Buddhist temples of India, medieval European castles and ancient Egyptian tombs, to unveil the drastically different and surprisingly similar spaces that surround us.
The result is a fascinating tour of global interiors, tracing the genesis and evolution of these places and how they help us understand human presence and behaviour.

Estetika architektúry
Ktoré budovy sú krásne? Z filozofického hľadiska je táto otázka skôr okrajovou témou. Verejne sa však o nej diskutuje zoširoka a často kontroverzne. Günter Figal vo svojej knihe využíva takéto debaty ako podnet na hľadanie spoľahlivých kritérií pre estetické hodnotenie architektúry – kritérií, ktoré platia rovnako pre krásne staré budovy ako aj pre krásne nové. Kedy je budova umeleckým dielom? Aby to mohol rozhodnúť, Figal objasňuje, čo vlastne budova je a ako možno presnejšie určiť jej krásu. Svoje úvahy ilustruje na viacerých rozličných príkladoch: na stavbách Franka Lloyda Wrighta, Ludwiga Miesa van der Rohe, Le Corbusiera, Chipperfield Architects, Petra Zumthora a Kenga Kumu – na obytných domoch, múzeách a kostoloch, na meditačnom dome, cisárskej vidieckej vile v Japonsku a na konferenčnom centre vo Weil am Rhein. Figal opisované budovy nielen videl, ale ich aj fotografoval, takže jeho text sa navzájom dopĺňa s viac než šesťdesiatimi fotografiami. Z nemeckého originálu Ästhetik der Architektur, vydaného modo Verlag vo Freiburgu im Breisgau v roku 2021, preložil Rastislav Nemec.
Vynálezci, piráti, epigoni
Kde se vzala fotografie na papíru? Jak vypadaly první světelné obrazy na papírové podložce a kdo byli jejich tvůrci? Ve kterých oblastech se uplatnila a čím fotografie na papíru zaujala své první sběratele? Jaké byly její přednosti oproti daguerrotypii a ostatním konkurenčním metodám a v čem naopak zaostávala? Nejen na tyto otázky hledá a nabízí odpovědi kniha Vynálezci, piráti, epigoni, jež sleduje, jak se fotografie na papíru během čtyřicátých a padesátých let 19. století šířila a etablovala v Čechách a na Moravě, a to v těsné vazbě na některé další lokality, především Vídeň coby nejbližší fotografický uzel.
Kniha vychází dvojjazyčně – v češtině a angličtině – a je bohatě ilustrována obrazovým materiálem z domácích i zahraničních sbírek.
Dalszerző - Magyar zenei újjászületések a 20. században
Zenei életünk három jelentős jubileumot is számontart 2025-ben: 60 éve írta meg az első magyar nyelvű beatdalokat a Szörényi Levente–Bródy János szerzőpáros, 120 éve kezdett el népzenét gyűjteni Bartók Béla és Kodály Zoltán, valamint 150 évvel ezelőtt született a közönség előtt elsősorban az operettjeiről ismert, ám a szerzői jog területén is maradandót alkotó Huszka Jenő.
E három kiemelkedő jubileum adja a 2025: A magyar dalszerzés éve kezdeményezés apropóját. E hármas szál jelentős mértékben járult hozzá ahhoz, hogy a 20. században jelentőségének megfelelő helyet foglaljon el a magyar dal az életünkben. A megújult és a zeneipari berkekből a széles közönség elé is lépő Dalszerző különleges, a magyar dalszerzés évét kibontó száma ezt a közösségi élményt és annak jelentőségét szeretné hangsúlyozni és megerősíteni. És aki dalt mond, értse magát a muzsikát is, mert valójában a szavakon túli szféra az, ahová ezzel is, azzal is eljutni vágyunk. Kiadványunkban a tematikus év három szálát úgy fonjuk egybe, ahogy azok a valóságban is folyamatosan találkoznak, át- és átszövik egymást. Nem titkoltan azzal a céllal, hogy ez a könyvespolcon elférő színes, tartalmas és bármikor fellapozható bookazin útmutató tapasztalatot is vihessen az ismeretlen jövőbe.

Haas Brothers - Uncanny Valley
The first comprehensive monograph on the daring, irreverent, and fantastical art of the Haas Brothers
Step into a world where design meets art in the most audacious, subversive, and captivating ways. Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley is the much-anticipated first monograph on the daring, irreverent, and fantastical art of Niki and Simon Haas.
Known for their boundary-pushing creative practice, the duo work across the fields of art, craft, design, and technology with an approach that is at once conceptual, yet formal, and intellectual, yet playful.
The book accompanies the first major touring mid-career retrospective devoted to the Haas Brothers at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan in Fall 2025, and highlights more than 100 of their most iconic works, from almost ridiculous, conversation-starting furniture to cheeky life-size sculptures.
Rich texts, including first-hand personal stories from the brothers and an interview by avant-garde mother-daughter artists Lita and Isabelle Albuquerque, complement the book’s vivid imagery.
Featuring a padded, hot pink cover, Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley proves these iconoclastic visionaries are two of the most exciting and innovative figures in contemporary art and design.

Creativity and Illness
A classic in the field of Medical Humanities, the late Philip Sandblom’s study of art and ill health first appeared in English in 1982. This is a new, extended version, based on the definitive Swedish edition of 2022.
In riveting analyses of the interplay between illness and art, music, and literature, Creativity and illness shows how various diseases and disabilities have affected the works of famous artists, composers, and authors. Among the disorders examined by a renowned surgeon with a passion for art are drug addiction, dementia, visual impairment, and tuberculosis. Many famous names crowd the pages of this book, meeting us in fresh contexts which it took a medical expert to identify.
Despite its engagement with horrendous diseases, this book celebrates the strength of the human spirit in adversity and emphasises the joy of creation.
100 Movies of the 1970s
The 1970s: that magical era betwixt the swinging ’60s and the decadent ’80s, the epoch of leisure suits and Afros, the age of disco music and platform shoes. As war raged on in Vietnam and the Cold War continued to escalate, Hollywood began to heat up, recovering from its commercial crisis with box-office successes such as Star Wars, Jaws, The Exorcist, and The Godfather. Thanks to directors like Spielberg and Lucas, American cinema gave birth to a new phenomenon: the blockbuster.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, while the Nouvelle Vague died out in France, its influence extended to Germany, where the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog had its heyday. The sexual revolution made its way to the silver screen (cautiously in the U.S., more freely in Europe) most notably in Bertolucci’s steamy, scandalous Last Tango in Paris. Amid all this came a wave of nostalgic films (The Sting, American Graffiti) and Vietnam pictures (Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter), the rise of the antihero (Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman), and the prestigious short-lived genre, blaxploitation.
