Josip Plečnik, Central European Architect
This is a truly unique publication dedicated to the legacy of one of the most significant architects of Central Europe. The book presents Plečnik in an international context and demonstrates the timelessness of his work – from his key realizations in Vienna, Prague, and Ljubljana to contemporary reconstructions of his buildings. The publication offers an overview of the individual phases of Plečnik’s work, his original synthesis of antiquity, the Renaissance, and modernism, as well as his exceptional influence on Czech and Slovak architectural culture. It recalls his work at Prague Castle, his pedagogical activities, and his formative role in shaping the Slovenian capital. A large number of museum and gallery institutions from Vienna, Ljubljana, and Prague contributed to the book, ensuring the high quality of the materials reproduced. Some of the archival documents and originals are published here for the first time. The book is intended for professionals as well as the wider cultural public and confirms that Plečnik’s work remains a living source of inspiration for contemporary architecture. The publication is edited by Prof. Damjan Prelovšek. Contributions were provided by Assoc. Prof. Zdeněk Lukeš, Prof. Vladimír Šlapeta, and Prof. Boris Podrecca.
No More Chainsaws
“Welcome to the Golden Age of Women-Directed Horror.” Over the last fifteen years, there has been a sustained global influx of women artists working in mainstream and independent horror cinemas earning notable public and industry acclaim. As a result, now, for the first time in horror history, there is also a concentrated corpus of films that explicitly address topics of identity, sexuality, trauma, and monstrosity from women’s perspectives. No More Chainsaws offers an in-depth analysis of some of the earliest and underrated releases within this New Wave of Women’s Horror cinema: Catherine Hardwicke’sTwilight (2008), Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body (2009), Jennifer and Sylvia Soska’s American Mary (2012), and Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie (2013). No More Chainsaws articulates the ways in which these contemporary films attempt to liberate horror from an over-determining gendered lexicon of violence and terror.
The Moment of Cubism
The Moment of Cubism is one of John Berger's most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin's poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin's sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures - Picasso and Braque above all.
He makes a case for Cubism's revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.
Landscapes
Landscapes showcases the development and practice of John Berger's unique way of seeing. Here he surveys the aesthetic landscapes that have informed, challenged and nourished his understanding of the world.
Berger pays homage to the writers and thinkers who influenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective embraces artistic movements and individual artists - from the Renaissance to the present - while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation.
Nike Football Boots
The first book to chart the unprecedented history of Nike's iconic football boots, from the evolution of their design to the legendary stars who have worn them
Football (or soccer) is surrounded by a particular mythology. As the world's most popular sport, its players and iconic performances have become part of public consciousness - and so have the boots that footballers wear.
Nike Football Boots charts the history of the brand's football journey, from the all-black leather boots introduced in the early 70s - the first of any shoe to feature the famous swoosh - to the present day, through four key product lines that encapsulate Nike's design ethos: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90, and Phantom. Along the way, readers will discover stories behind the boots worn by football's greatest names, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Portuguese phenom Cristiano Ronaldo, US Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe, and emerging French icon Kylian Mbappé, among others.
Lavishly illustrated with 500 images, Nike Football Boots showcases boot close-ups, on-feet shots, concepts, posters and advertising, film screenshots, material swatches, sketches, prototypes and ephemera from the Department of Nike Archives (DNA). A 12-page glossy insert displays every model of boot highlighted in the DNA, from 1971 to today.
This visual homage to the sport is also an engaging read: celebrated author Caleb Azumah Nelson sets the scene for each chapter, discussing how the culture and style of the decade influenced each boot's design, while historian Thomas Turner delves deep into the technical innovations that made each boot so successful. An introduction by curator Eleanor Watson puts football design more globally into context.
Perfectly timed with the kick-off of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nike Football Boots is an essential volume for football fans of all stripes.
A Home for Now
Home for Now explores how to live meaningfully in spaces that are not entirely your own. In a world shaped by mobility, high rents, and fading permanence, it shows how a new generation creates home within borrowed walls and between cities.
Case studies reveal how limits inspire ingenuity: spaces that feel personal, layered, and alive with ritual. Blending essays, photography, and ideas for everyday life, the book is a portrait of adaptability and the art of making space--wherever you are, and however long you stay.
Cannes
In the 1970s and ’80s, the Cannes Film Festival was more than a red carpet — it was a spectacle of freedom, fame, and excess. Photographer Ole Christiansen was there, camera in hand, capturing a time when the world’s biggest stars mingled with dreamers, directors, and the beautiful chaos of the Côte d’Azur. Cannes unfolds a visual story from an era when the festival was still intimate, wild, and gloriously unfiltered. Christiansen’s lens brings us close to icons like Grace Jones, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, and many others — not as distant celebrities, but as part of a living, breathing scene of glamour, sun, and seduction. Through rare, candid, and often daring photographs, the book celebrates a time when film, fame, and freedom collided — when the nights were long, the parties endless, and the line between cinema and life seemed to disappear in the glow of the Riviera.
Slovenský strihový film
Autor publikácie Martin Palúch prináša alternatívny pohľad na dejiny slovenského filmu z perspektívy vývoja strihovej formy dokumentárneho žánru z obdobia rokov 1938 – 2025.

Osvetľuje politické zámery, pre ktoré vznikli, popisuje ciele, ktoré mali naplniť, aby recyklované kontexty účelne vplývali na dobových recipientov. Osobitnou kapitolou sú príklady umeleckého experimentovania so strihovou formou, ktoré originálnym spôsobom obohatili tvorivý potenciál slovenskej kinematografie.

Francis Kere : Building Stories
Francis Kéré's riveting first-person account reveals the ideas and values that drive him and his socially engaged architectural practice. The 2022 laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize covers 26 key projects, illustrated with many unseen sketches, photographs, and drawings in a volume beautifully crafted by the Amsterdam-based graphic design studio of Irma Boom.
Featured works include his Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, the Gando school projects, national assembly designs for Burkina Faso and Benin, the Thomas Sankara Memorial, and the recently revealed Las Vegas Museum of Art. Kéré's own voice moves effortlessly between poetry and pragmatism. From the technicalities of cutting bricks on site to the political and environmental forces shaping his designs, he delights in both hands-on craft and big thinking. One chapter subtitle-How to funnel imagination into the grid of rules (without preventing it from flying)-says it all.
For Kéré, architecture is an engine of shared learning and exchange, made collectively rather than imposed from above. The architect is never the star, but a facilitator of common purpose. His designs are rooted in vernacular knowledge and non-elitist values, yet fully engaged with the urgent realities of our time, from climate change and overpopulation to the fragile infrastructures of young democracies.
Reading this feels like looking into Kéré's own notebook, with his annotations scribbled alongside the work. It concludes with two reflective texts-one by Ghanaian-Scottish academic and novelist Lesley Lokko, and another by Kéré's mentor Juhani Pallasmaa-placing his practice within a wider cultural, ethical, and architectural conversation.
Pet Shop Boys Volume
Marking the fortieth anniversary of Please, the duo's first album release, the instant Sunday Times bestseller Pet Shop Boys Volume presents their entire visual output to date in a contemporary literary format.
Pet Shop Boys - Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - are the most successful duo in the history of pop music. Three-time Brit Award winners and six-time Grammy nominees, they have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, including No. 1 hits such as 'West End girls', 'It's a sin', and 'Always on my mind', and platinum-selling albums Please, Actually, and Very.
Uniquely spanning the worlds of music, art, film, theatre, design, and fashion, Pet Shop Boys have forged an identity as unforgettable as their sound. From the seminal graphic design of their record sleeves to their groundbreaking videos and innovative stage shows, they have set the bar for the visual presentation of pop.
Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the release of their first album in 1986, Pet Shop Boys Volume is the definitive retrospective of the duo's career. Expanding upon Pet Shop Boys Catalogue, published two decades ago, it presents their entire visual output to date, year by year. Sleeve artworks and packaging, stills from every video, film, and performance, stage sets and costume designs, photoshoots, publications, and even Christmas cards all feature, as does every collaboration with luminaries including Mark Farrow, Wolfgang Tillmans, Martin Parr, Bruce Weber, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Derek Jarman, Scott King, Zaha Hadid, Tom Scutt, and Es Devlin.
Concise commentaries by Chris Heath and Philip Hoare provide illuminating insights into the genesis of each project. Hoare's original introduction is accompanied by a new introduction from Libby Sellers who considers the importance of Pet Shop Boys within the history of design, while a new foreword by Jeremy Deller reflects on the enduring impact of their music and image.
With a jacket designed by Farrow and a new conversation between Heath, Tennant, and Lowe, Pet Shop Boys Volume is a visual feast and a sumptuous tribute to four decades of creative innovation.
Touki Bouki
Djibril Diop Mambéty’s exuberant, inventive and urgent film Touki Bouki (The Journey of the Hyena) (1973) follows a young couple, Mory (Magaye Niang) and Anta (Mareme Niang), who dream of leaving their home in Dakar, Senegal for an imagined better life in Paris. Rosalind Galt’s insightful study analyses Touki Bouki’s cinematic worlds, from its narrative of postcolonial migration to its influence by international film style, both nonetheless grounded in African visual cultures and critical perspectives. Touki Bouki explores the intertwined histories of the postcolonial and the transnational, showing how the aesthetic and political ideas found in the experimentation of cinematic modernisms and New Waves are as African as they are European. Galt’s study interweaves a conceptual framework of world cinema studies and anti/decolonial theory with close analysis of Touki Bouki’s innovative audiovisual forms and its representations of desire and identity in postcolonial Senegal. Providing a detailed reading of the film’s themes and cinematic style, she argues for its classic status and for its long-lasting influence on world cinema.

The Secrets of Painting
A new history of painting as told through the eyes and hands-on insights of a practising artist.
The first question that Lachlan Goudie asks himself when he sees a work of art is not 'why' it was created but 'how'. For this book he poses that question of artworks created by the earliest humans to artists today, focusing on the technical inventions and turning points that at each stage have marked a new chapter in the history of art.
Goudie knows from experience that masterpieces don't emerge serenely from an artist's studio. They are the result of a long tussle between dirty hands and crushed pigment, hog's-hair brushes and linseed oil, rabbit-skin glue and pulverized chalk. Great paintings are always the product of a struggle involving artists and their materials, one that pushes the practitioner to the very limits of technical ability.
The secrets of painting lie above all in the physical elements from which an image is crafted. The nature of these elements has changed over time and across continents. And as each generation of painters exploits the new material and technical innovations of their era, they transform the character of their work and help propel the course of art history.
Goudie traces this story all the way back to the original 'big bang' in the story of art: the very first painting pigments, made from charcoal and minerals, that were used to paint extraordinary art on the walls of the caves at Chauvet 36,000 years ago. He goes on to explore the impact of numerous new inventions and discoveries over the centuries, including ink, fresco, egg tempera, oil paint, canvas, watercolour, gouache, impasto, tubes of manufactured oil paint, collage, household gloss, acrylic, digital media and AI. Each chapter focuses on a technical turning point as embodied in the work of particular artist, including Giotto, Artemisia Gentileschi, Alma Thomas, Anselm Kiefer, David Hockney and many more.
