A Little History of Art
A thrilling journey through 100,000 years of art, from the first artworks ever made to art's central role in culture today
Art can help us see the world differently or understand our place in it a little more clearly. It can move us emotionally, even if sometimes we cannot explain why. It is powerful stuff.
Roaming from Japan and India to South America and the Middle East, Charlotte Mullins showcases a host of overlooked artists, and celebrates art's crucial place in our collective culture. This Little History introduces us to extraordinary anonymous creations such as the Terracotta Army, Renaissance masters like Donatello and Michelangelo, and modern trailblazers like Frida Kahlo, Barbara Hepworth and Yayoi Kusama.

David Hockney. My Window
'For me, it's really the joy of looking out into the world and getting this positive energy... It's opening up our vision, and how we look'—David HockneyWhen David Hockney discovered the iPhone as an artistic medium, it opened up entirely new possibilities for his art. He made his first digital paintings in spring 2009, describing the morning landscape in broad lines and dazzling colors directly on a display that offered subtle hues as unmixed expressions of pure light. Then in 2010, Hockney started working with an iPad, and the larger screen expanded his artistic repertoire and enabled an even more complex interplay of color, light, and line. Each image in this book captures a fleeting moment seen through a window in Hockney’s Yorkshire home: from vibrant sunrise and lilac morning sky to peaceful night-time impressions or the sudden arrival of spring. Fascinating details reveal drops on window panes, distant lights in the night, reflections on vases or an abundance of varied window-sill vegetation. In 120 paintings made between 2009 and 2012, selected and arranged by the artist himself, we experience the passage of time through the eyes of David Hockney.
This artist’s book, which first appeared in an exclusive signed edition in 2020, now returns in a wallet-friendly pocket edition. So now is the perfect occasion to heed the advice of the Times critic regarding this book: “If you would like to be given a bouquet by David Hockney, here is your chance.”
With Nails
‘You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, especially if you’re in the book like I am’ – Steve Martin‘An exceptionally vivid and penetrating insight into Hollywood film-making’ ObserverThe star-studded, hilarious memoir from Richard E. Grant revealing life behind the camera. When, in the summer of 1986, Richard E. Grant was cast as the lead in Withnail and I, his whole world shifted and he was set firmly on the path to international stardom. With Nails is his outrageous, irreverent and brutally funny account of that time and the years afterwards, of his self-doubt and anxiety on the route to Hollywood, and of all the extraordinary, mad, brilliant people in the film business. From drinking himself incoherent so he could film Withnail and I to a night spent in Paris's red light district with a world-famous couple, to working with Hollywood's biggest actors and directors, Richard E. Grant - always eloquent, always honest - has documented, in his own inimitable style, what it is to become a film star. A rare classic, there is no book quite like it. Now part of the Picador Collection.
Men of a Certain Age
From Jeff Beck to Ray Davies, Jon Bon Jovi to Kevin Ayers, Kate Mossman has long fostered an interest in male musicians of a certain age.
Why is it that when I meet them, I feel something ignite inside me? What is this strange connection - to feel so excited, yet so at ease? And how is it that in the presence of a wrinkly rock star twice my age, I sometimes feel like I'm meeting . . . me?
Featuring nineteen long-form profiles lovingly constructed for The Word magazine and the New Statesman, Men of a Certain Age chronicles the lives of some of the biggest rock stars of our time, including Brian May, Gene Simmons, Terence Trent D'Arby, Johnny Rotten and Nick Cave.
The book is a meditation on the powerful archetype of the ageing rock star, but it is also a personal story - of music and obsession, and of the deep unconscious projections at play in our relationships with the famous people who most capture our hearts. As Kate travels 5,000 miles to try and find Glen Campbell, and to the depths of the Cornish countryside for a rendezvous with Roger Taylor, will she finally unravel the roots of her obsession with the elder statesmen of rock?
Enter the Room
Publikace Enter the Room vychází u příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy, kterou Galerie hlavního města Prahy pořádá v prostorách Domu U Kamenného zvonu (28. 3. – 14. 9. 2025). Její obsah je proto nejen zaměřen na popis vystavených děl či představení participujících autorů, autorek a kolektivů, ale také představuje celkový kurátorský koncept projektu. Pomyslné jádro knihy pak tvoří text Ondřeje Trhoně a Filipa Hauera, který přibližuje kritické strategie současné herní tvorby, a tím vymezuje i její pozici v širším rámci umělecké produkce.
The publication Enter the Room coincides with the exhibition of the same name, organised by Prague City Gallery in the spaces of the Stone Bell House (28 March — 14 September 2025). Its content thus not only focuses on descriptions of the exhibited works or presentations of the participating artists and collectives, but also presents the entire curatorial concept of the project. The core of the book is formed by Ondřej Trhoň and Filip Hauer’s text, which outlines the critical strategies of contemporary game art and thus defines its positions in the broader context of artistic production.

Poetika kódování: Umění v technocénu
Světu dnes vládnou proprietární algoritmy, tajná datová úložiště a neproniknutelné systémy. Jak se to odráží v umění? Nadim Samman v Poetice kódování analyzuje díla, která zdůrazňují skryté dimenze naší technologické krajiny. Na rozdíl od klamných tvrzení o nové kultuře transparentnosti a otevřenosti se tato díla zaměřují na černá místa, černé skříňky a černé díry, zatímco se pohybují na hranici mezi informovaným znepokojením a okultním sněním.
Elementy knižní vazby
Knížka je určena zejména grafikům, návrhářům knižních adjustací. Měla by je osmělit k použití konstrukce při výtvarném zpracování knižních vazeb. Autor představuje konstrukci z trochu jiného úhlu pohledu, a to jako předmět kreativní úpravy prostřednictvím jednotlivých konstrukčních elementů. Elementy knižní vazby navazují na předchozí titul Stavíme knižní vazbu, v němž byly jednotlivé konstrukční prvky definovány. Nyní jsou ukázány v oborovém, výtvarném i technologickém kontextu. Autor čerpá inspiraci v pedagogických metodách Bauhausu, které jsou založeny na výstavbě výtvarného díla z elementárních výtvarných prvků. Konstrukční prvky knižní vazby jsou použity jako díly stavebnice. Výtvarné hodnoty předmětu je dosaženo vzájemnou kombinací prvků do funkčních a estetických celků. Technické ilustrace, grafika a knižní vazba Jan Hybner. Tisk obálky René Řebec.
Koncept 09 - Strecha
KONCEPT č. 09 sa venuje téme strechy. Strecha pre architekta predstavuje výzvu spájať funkčnosť s estetikou, ochranu s eleganciou. Je to miesto, kde sa stretávajú technické znalosti s kreativitou, a zároveň finálny dotyk, ktorý budove dáva jej charakter a identitu. Slovenská strešná krajina je (niekedy až príliš) pestrá. Zameriame sa na to najnovšie uvažovanie o architektúre v kontexte histórie a predstavíme si opäť výber inšpiratívnych realizácií (nielen) k tejto téme.
Tajně naživu/ Secretly Alive
Taneční umělkyně Mish Rais, Mirka Eliášová a Lizzy Le Quesne se v publikaci Tajně naživu setkávají jako editorky, aby sdílely objevy a podněty vzešlé ze společného výzkumného projektu „Improvizace jako choreografický, autorský a tvůrčí princip“. V rámci výzkumu pozvaly také šest renomovaných umělkyň a umělců, aby se potkali ve studiu v praktickém výzkumu a při rozhovorech, které reflektují jejich vtělenou zkušenost s taneční improvizací. Rosalind Crisp, Julyen Hamilton, Wendy Houstoun, Eva Karczag, Daniel Lepkoff a Nita Little sdílejí rozbíhající a sbíhající se cesty k improvizaci, názory na pedagogiku, okamžitou kompozici a své strategie i zkušenosti s tvorbou a vystupováním na jevišti. Šest rozhovorů doprovázejí studie každé ze tří badatelek, jež v nich uvažují o tvůrčí hodnotě a potenciálu taneční improvizace z různých úhlů pohledu: jako o choreografickém procesu, jako o disciplíně všímání si a konečně jako o prostoru pro experimentování s vytvářením souvislostí. Kniha odhaluje historii improvizace v západním postmoderním tanci a zároveň prostřednictvím reflexí umělkyň a umělců přibližuje současnou improvizační praxi. Jako taková je užitečná pro umělce a umělkyně, studentstvo, učitelstvo i diváctvo taneční improvizace. In Secretly Alive, dance artists Mish Rais, Mirka Eliášová and Lizzy Le Quesne meet as editors to share the questions and discoveries of the three-year artistic research project ‘Improvisation as Choreographic, Authorial and Creative Principle’. The editors invited six renowned artists into the studio and conducted in-depth interviews exploring their embodied practices. Rosalind Crisp, Julyen Hamilton, Wendy Houstoun, Eva Karczag, Daniel Lepkoff and Nita Little share their diverging and converging journeys to improvisation, their views on pedagogy and instant composition, and their strategies and experiences of making and performing for the stage. The six interviews are accompanied by essays by each of the three researcher-editors considering dance improvisation‘s creative value and potential from different angles: as a choreographic process, a discipline of awareness and a site of relational experimentation. Revealing both histories of improvisation in Western postmodern dance and details of current improvisational practices through the reflections of six major artists, this book will be of use to artist practitioners, students, teachers and audiences of dance improvisation
