Versace


Versace-a name that epitomizes Italian opulence, bold sexiness, and a flair for the extravagant-holds its place firmly in the fashion world as a legendary and iconic luxury brand. Taking over the creative artistic direction of the family-run fashion house in 1998, the enigmatic and alluring Donatella Versace has since catapulted the brand into popular culture, cementing Versace as a go-to label for A-list celebrities. This richly illustrated tome chronicles Donatella's interpretation of Versace in the twenty-first century and her remarkable work as the curator and face of Versace. Versace includes exclusive contemporary and archival imagery from runway and backstage shots to intimate scenes at the Versace atelier, with accompanying original essays penned by fashion's most authoritative voices. Featuring arresting photography by Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel, among many others; images of Versace fashions modeled by the original "supers," such as Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista; and red-carpet coverage of Hollywood's elite wearing dazzling Versace couture, this glittering volume delivers the magnetic vibrancy, supreme luxury, and glamour quotient that define Versace.

Total Records


Musicians and designers have also sifted through photography?s rich history for powerful photographs to match and keep company with the music enclosed within: Anders Peterson?s classic Café Leibnitz portrait of a man nestled into a partner, stands in for Tom Waits on the cover of Swordfishtrombones; Big Star and Alex Chilton push the listener into a corner with William Eggleston?s Red Ceiling on their album Radio City; Rage Against the Machine goes for the jugular with the anonymous Vietnam War photo of the self-immolation of a Buddhist monk. Iconic images like the Abbey Road crosswalk are deeply inscribed in our collective memory, but we know few details about the photographer of the image. All of these? and more?are included in this compendium of electrifying images and the albums they grace. Total Records reveals the artists behind some of the most striking images on vinyl sleeves and takes us on a journey through the cultural history of the twentieth century.

Paolo Ventura: Short Stories


Paolo Ventura’s Short Stories are whimsical narratives told through pictures?tales of love, war, and family?where things magically appear or disappear, set in an imaginary past of World War II Italy. Much like in silent films, the drama unfolds with no words or captions. For these works, Ventura constructed life-sized sets, in which he situated himself and members of his family (casting his son, wife, and twin brother as actors), in stories that are at once charming and disquieting. While seemingly simple, Ventura’s vignettes come with larger implications: brothers who encounter each other by surprise on the battlefield, jugglers who appear from above, a man who packs himself into his suitcase, a small-town magician who accidently makes his son disappear for real, and many others. Here, Ventura has built a world of realistic proportions and actors, in fantastical tales and against painted backdrops?challenging notions of what is real and what is make-believe. This book collects the entire series of Ventura’s Short Stories together for the first time, including three previously unpublished, and offers a glimpse into the artist’s extraordinary imagination. Paolo Ventura (born in Milan, 1968) graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan in 1991. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Forma International Center for Photography, Milan; Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles, France; and Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris. He also created a series of works for the Italian pavilion at the 2011 Venice Biennale. His works have been acquired by prominent collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; and the Margulies Collection, Miami. His monographs include War Souvenir (2006), Winter Stories (Aperture and Contrasto, 2009), and The Automaton (2012).

The Language of Cities


We live in a world that is now predominantly urban. So how do we define the city as it evolves in the twenty-first century? Drawing examples from across the globe, Deyan Sudjic decodes the underlying forces that shape our cities, such as resources and land, to the ideas that shape conscious elements of design, whether of buildings or of space. Erudite and entertaining, he considers the differences between capital cities and the rest to understand why it is that we often feel more comfortable in our identities as Londoners, Muscovites, or Mumbaikars than in our national identities.

Inside Vogue: A Diary Of My 100th Year


Editor in chief Alexandra Shulman kept a diary of Vogue's centenary year. And what an emotional and logistical minefield of a year: producing the 100th anniversary issue (that Duchess of Cambridge cover surprise), organizing the star-studded Vogue 100 Gala, working with designers such as Victoria Beckham and Karl Lagerfeld and contributors such as David Bailey and Alexa Chung while under the constant scrutiny of a TV documentary crew. But narrowly contained domestic chaos hovers - spontaneous combustion in the kitchen, and who will remember to put the bins out during Milan fashion week? A rich, personal, honest and sharply observed account of life lived at the centre of British fashion and cultural life.

Čertovo břemeno


Budeme-li v Česku hledat místo s nejvyšší koncentrací kvalitní současné architektury na jednoho obyvatele, prvenství si překvapivě odnese Alenina Lhota na Táborsku. V této jihočeské osadě je vedeno osm adres a trvale na nich pobývá pouhých deset obyvatel. V závěru dvacátého a v průběhu jednadvacátého století však v Alenině Lhotě vzniklo několik progresivních staveb, které dokonale přispěly k proměně její identity. Došlo k tomu nikoliv náhodou. Všechny byly financovány rodinami Jiřího a Petra Němcových, bez jakýchkoliv dotací. Díky jejich vytrvalosti a velkorysosti vznikl golfový areál Čertovo břemeno, jehož stavby, navržené architektem Stanislavem Fialou, svým výrazným sepětím s přírodou přesahují nejenom území regionu, ale i hranice České republiky. Kniha renomovaného novináře a spisovatele Petra Volfa představuje krok za krokem – od prvotního hledání místa pro víkendový odpočinek až po otevření osmnáctijamkového hřiště s nádhernou klubovnou organicky vyrůstající z okolní krajiny – cestu k tomuto architektonickému zázraku. Může sloužit coby návod svého druhu jak posílit genia loci a probudit opomíjené, zdánlivě ztracené místo opět k životu… Jazyk: česky a anglicky.

Kronikář nových časů


Hugo Boettinger byl vyhledávaným portrétistou vyšších vrstev, tvůrcem křehkých dívčích aktů a zároveň autorem humoristických kreseb a karikatur známým širokému publiku jako Dr. Desiderius. Boettingerovy především portrétní kresby byly výjimečně populární a během jeho života byly mnohokrát vystavovány a publikovány. Ve dvacátých letech se s humoristickými kresbami Huga Boettingera podepisovanými pseudonymem Dr. Desiderius často setkávali čtenáři Lidových novin, Prager Presse, Světozoru a řady dalších periodik. Kresby byly také vydány v několika albech. Jeho výstavy v Praze i v menších městech budily pravidelně velký zájem publika i tisku a jeho veselá dílka se na výstavách také velmi rychle prodávala. Roku 1923 při příležitosti Boettingerovy výstavy v Topičově salonu v Praze, na niž se doslova stály fronty, konstatoval kritik Václav Nebeský, že "není snad této chvíle druhého českého malíře, který těšil by se větší oblibě v kruzích nejširších, nad karikaturistu Hugo Boettingera".

Artless


Artless presents some of the most compelling images created by contemporary artists and illustrators using the simplest of tools, such as colour pencils, crayons, watercolour, scissors and glue. Work produced in this manner represents a growing and particularly resilient trend in the visual arts world. Through individual interviews with over 50 artists, Artless looks at how and why these particular artists find the intimate connection between the unassuming tools they use and the art thus created so enthralling. For creator and viewer alike there seems to be a particular kind of pleasure to be had in short-circuiting the sophisticated and often elusive strategies of contemporary art in favour of something disarmingly uncomplicated.

European Art - A Neuroarthistory


A bold revision of the history of European art, told through the lens of neuroscience Ambitious and much anticipated, this book celebrates the value of recent neuroscientific discoveries as tools for art-historical analysis. Case studies ranging across the whole history of European art demonstrate the relationships between forms of visual expression and the objects of visual attention, emotional connection, and intellectual interest in daily life, thus illuminating the previously hidden meanings of many artistic styles and conventions. Art historians have until now concentrated on the conscious intentions of artists and patrons, but neuroscience provides insights into the role of non-conscious mental processes in the production and consumption of works of art. As John Onians powerfully argues, these insights have the potential to revolutionize cultural history. For the first time, an authority renowned for a more traditional approach has applied new neuroscientific knowledge to a wide range of art-historical problems, both familiar and fresh. The result is a provocative, original, and persuasive case for neuroscience as an aid to research in the humanities.

Television - A Biography


In just a few years, what used to be an immobile piece of living room furniture, which one had to sit in front of at appointed times in order to watch sponsored programming on a finite number of channels, morphed into a glowing cloud of screens with access to a near-endless supply of content available when and how viewers want it. With this phenomenon now a common cultural theme, a writer of David Thomson s stature delivering a critical history, or biography of the six-decade television era, will be a significant event which could not be more timely. With Television, the critic and film historian who wrote what Sight and Sound's readers called the most important film book of the last 50 years has finally turned his unique powers of observation to the medium that has swallowed film whole. Over twenty-two thematically organized chapters, Thomson brings his provocatively insightful and unique voice to the life of what was television. David Thomson surveying a Boschian landscape, illuminated by that singular glow always on and peopled by everyone from Donna Reed to Dennis Potter, will be the first complete history of the defining medium of our time.

Pulcinellopaedia Seraphiniana


This delightful homage to Pulcinella (or Punch as he is referred to in English) contains over one hundred extraordinary pencil illustrations, some of which are depicted in comic-strip style. Divided into several scenes, it features the oddly surreal and globally recognised character that originated in seventeenth-century comedic theatre and became a fixture in Neapolitan puppetry. Distinguished by a long nose and typically dressed in white with a black mask, Pulcinella is often depicted in various kinds of misadventures and singing about themes of love, hunger, and money. In the typical fashion of author Luigi Serafini, Pulcinellopaedia Seraphiniana is created in a unique language all its own, and is filled with fascinating and mysterious illustrations that require thorough examination and inference to decipher what the artist is intending to portray. Written by Serafini s imaginative coauthor and alter ego C. Petrulo, who represents Pulcinella himself, the book artfully presents the struggles of a rebellious antihero who must come to grips with the difficulties of everyday life. First published in 1984 and since revised by the author, this volume is an exquisite treasure that has intrigued readers for more than thirty years. Designed as a handsome companion volume ready to take its place alongside the bestselling Codex Seraphinianus, the Pulcinellopaedia is akin to a missing chapter or coda to the Codex that no fan of Luigi Serafini s work will want to miss
