Louis Vuitton: Príbeh ikonickej módnej značky
Unikátny obrazový sprievodca históriou módnej značky Louis Vuitton
Známe osobnosti a príslušníčky kráľovských rodín už viac ako 150 rokov hrdo nosia tašky z dielne Louis Vuitton. Po tom, čo sa mladý Louis Vuitton vydal na skusy do Paríža a založil dielňu na výrobu kufrov, výrobky s jeho menom sa stali symbolom luxusu a bohatstva. Značku neohrozili ani dve svetové vojny či veľká hospodárska kríza a počas revolučných šesťdesiatych rokov 20. storočia sa pretancovala k úspechu.
Knižka oslavuje neobyčajnú trvácnosť úspešnej módnej značky, ktorá sa zo skromných pomerov jej zakladateľa v 19. storočí vypracovala na svetový fenomén súčasnosti. Dozviete sa, ako si v osemdesiatych rokoch 20. storočia Louis Vuitton vydobyl status ikonickej značky, aké zmeny prinieslo začlenenie do konglomerátu LVMH a prečo v roku 1997 povolal do svojich radov módneho návrhára Marca Jacobsa. Značka Louis Vuitton je nielen neprehliadnuteľná, ale aj inovatívna. Zakaždým dokázala kráčať s dobou a vyťažiť z meniacich sa módnych trendov. Vďaka tomu sa naďalej drží na čele rebríčka najluxusnejších tašiek na svete.
Text uznávanej odborníčky na módu Karen Homerovej dopĺňa viac ako sto starostlivo vybraných fotografií, ktoré dokonale ilustrujú príbeh najluxusnejšej módnej značky od prvých dní v remeselnej dielni až po rozkvet pod umeleckou taktovkou Nicolasa Ghesquiera a Virgila Abloha.

Jana Farmanová - Čas na ženský svet / Time for Woman’s World
Jana Farmanová patrí k výrazným osobnostiam slovenskej maľby. Študovala na Vysokej škole výtvarných umení v Bratislave v Ateliéri maľby u prof. Jána Bergera. Štúdium ukončila v roku 1996, v čase, keď maľba prechádzala zložitým obdobím. Bola vytlačená na okraj výtvarného diania a uprednostňované boli iné formy výtvarného vyjadrenia. Príčinou tejto situácie boli viaceré udalosti z druhej polovice 20. storočia, ako napríklad príchod konceptuálneho či akčného umenia, vstup nových, najmä digitálnych médií do umenia a v neposlednom rade aj doktrína socialistického realizmu. Publikácia slúži ako katalóg k výstave v Galérii Nedbalka.
Ballroom Marfa : The First Twenty Years
A vibrant account of Ballroom Marfa’s ground-breaking first two decades of art and music
Since its founding in the storied but remote West Texas town of Marfa in 2003, Ballroom Marfa has punched above its weight. From one of its debut shows including renowned artist Takashi Murakami, to Elmgreen & Dragset’s now-iconic Prada Marfa installation, to live performances by Sonic Youth and shock-master John Waters, and large-scale commissions from Agnes Denes to Hiroon Mirza, Ballroom’s impact has reverberated far beyond the desert.
This book is a kaleidoscopic collection of highlights from the museum’s first two decades, as told by the artists, musicians, curators, and community around this art and landmark global destination. The book includes lively first-hand accounts by internationally celebrated artists and musicians such as Terry Allen, Mel Chin, Suzanne Ciani, Agnes Denes, rafa esparza, Loie Hollowell, Matthew Day Jackson, Rashid Johnson, Graham Reynold, and Erin Shirreff, among many more and three zines capturing two decades of performances by musicians such as Bon Iver, Roky Erickson, Helado Negro, Lonnie Holley, Lyle Lovett, Laraaji, Joanna Newsom, Perfume Genius, Pharoah Sanders, Sonic Youth, Spoon, and WIRE, among others.
Over 250 images document more than 50 highlights of Ballroom Marfa’s first twenty years and lively first-hand accounts by internationally celebrated artists bring the scene to life, including contributions from such figures as Elmgreen & Dragset, John Waters, Terry Allen, Mel Chin, Agnes Denes, rafa esparza, Loie Hollowell, Matthew Day Jackson, Rashid Johnson, and Erin Shirreff, among many others.
American Artifacts
The companion volume to Matt Black’s critically acclaimed American Geography presents a deeper view of his six-year odyssey documenting poverty in the United States of America.
During his six-year journey across the United States creating the project that became American Geography, Matt Black collected objects in the locations he visited. Each location is designated as an area of ‘concentrated poverty’ – a US Census definition for places with poverty rates of 20% or higher. Over time, the objects he found and collected began to take on symbolic significance.
As Black crisscrossed the United States, his collection grew into the thousands: plastic spoons and forks, lottery tickets, liquor bottles, lighters and matchbooks. Some items were important, like job applications, medical paperwork, driver’s licenses; some were lost personal effects, like family photographs, bracelets, eyeglasses, notes and letters. And there was the detritus of labour: work gloves, broken tools and supplies, wire, bolts, padlocks and bent nails.
This new monograph, presented as a companion volume to Black’s seminal photobook, American Geography, presents photographs of these objects, assemblages and collages, previously unpublished images from American Geography, and the voices of those who are cut off from the ‘American Dream’.
These humble, discarded objects form a portrait of America assembled from its roadways and sidewalks, an archaeology of dispossession. For those who follow Black’s photographic work and his unflinching critique of inequality in the United States, this book is an essential volume.
Fenomén Adolf Loos
Za svého působení Adolf Loos mnohokrát zvedl veřejné mínění ve svůj prospěch, to především v souvislosti se svými názory na dobovou kulturu a originálními architektonickými řešeními staveb i interiérů. Těch po sobě zanechal nepoměrně více a jsme rádi, že i v naší republice. Vlastně i v jeho, protože v r. 1918 přijal české občanství. Jeho jméno ovšem rezonovalo i ve významech negativních, trestněprávních. Jak říká poslední věta
naší knihy, Adolf Loos stojí dodnes před námi se svým velkým dílem, stejně jako se svým velkým hříchem.
Versace: Príbeh ikonickej módnej značky
Unikátny obrazový sprievodca históriou módnej značky Versace
Gianni Versace bol jedným z najvýznamnejších módnych inovátorov všetkých čias: hviezda medzi návrhármi a vizionár. Bol to umelec zanietený pre svoju prácu, ktorý sa nebál riskovať a porušovať pravidlá, aby vytvoril krásu na predvádzacom móle. Pripisuje sa mu aj vytvorenie konceptu supermodeliek, keďže na prehliadkach exkluzívne spolupracoval s významnými modelkami, ktoré zapájal aj do módnych kampaní. Jeho značka bola od začiatku rodinnou značkou, stala sa neoddeliteľnou súčasťou jeho úspechu a poskytla mu pevný základ a pocit identity. S hlbokými koreňmi v popkultúre stála na pozadí nezabudnuteľných momentov moderného štýlu, či už to boli šaty Elizabeth Hurleyovej zopnuté špendlíkmi, obálka časopisu Harper’s Bazaar s princeznou Dianou, alebo zelená róba Jennifer Lopezovej.
Knižka rozpráva príbeh ikonického módneho domu od jeho založenia Giannim Versacem až po dnešné kultové postavenie pod vedením Donatelly. Je úžasnou zbierkou viac ako 100 momentov z červeného koberca, kľúčových modelov a ohromujúcich módnych prehliadok. Text dopĺňajú desiatky starostlivo vybraných fotografií.

Karl Blossfeldt - The Complete Published Work. 40th Ed.
Timeless photos in which plants become sculptures
German photography pioneer Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932) photographed plants so beautifully, and with such originality, that his work transcends the medium itself. Over more than 30 years, he took thousands of photographs, revealing a formally rigorous talent whose precision and dedication bridge the 19th- and 20th-century worlds of image-making and bring a distinctly sculptural aspect to a firmly two-dimensional art form.
Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard backgrounds, Blossfeldt’s images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly final statements on their subject, and have endured owing to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and lastingly effective.
HR Giger
Swiss artist HR Giger (1940–2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. In retrospect, this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger’s biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.
This book was begun shortly before the artist’s untimely death and shows the complete story of Giger’s life and art, his sculptures, film work, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist’s museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of Giger’s oeuvre and world while an extensive artist biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger’s own writings.

Colour and Culture
A groundbreaking, award-winning analysis of colour in Western culture, from the ancient Greeks to the late twentieth century by one of the most foremost authors on the subject.
What does the language of colour tell us? Where does one colour begin and another end? Is it a radiant visual stimulus, an intangible function of light, or a material substance to be moulded and arrayed? Colour is fundamental to art, yet so diverse that it has hardly ever been studied in a comprehensive way. Art historian John Gage considers every conceivable aspect of the subject in this groundbreaking analysis of colour in Western culture, from the ancient Greeks to the late twentieth century.
Gage describes the first theories of colour, articulated by Greek philosophers, and subsequent attempts by the Romans and their Renaissance disciples to organize it systematically or endow it with symbolic power. He unfolds its religious significance and its use in heraldry, as well as how Renaissance artists approached colour with the help of alchemists. He explores the analysis of the spectrum undertaken by Newton and continued in the nineteenth century by artists such as Seurat, traces the influence of Goethe's colour theory, and considers the extraordinary theories and practices that attempted to unite colour and music, or make colour into an entirely abstract language of its own.
The first-ever undertaking to suggest answers to many perennial questions about the role of colour in Western art and thought, this study throws fresh light on the hidden meanings of many familiar masterpieces.

Ryan McGinley: Yearbook
Yearbook represents a decade’s worth of Ryan McGinley’s nude studio portraits documenting his vibrant community of artists and creatives. An exploration of personal identity and expanded notions of beauty, this is McGinley’s work at its most powerful.
Known for his outdoor photography of young people cavorting in the nude, McGinley ventures into the artist’s studio, creating more intimate portraits of his models in Yearbook. Continuing the approach of previous bodies of work, his sitters are often friends, and they exude a candid awareness of the camera, creating joyful, dynamic images. As a master chronicler of downtown New York City for two decades, McGinley captures the lives of his diverse subjects, earning acclaim as the voice of his generation and indelibly capturing the contemporary zeitgeist.
The book features brief interviews with many of the models discussing their lives and work, providing an even more thoughtful understanding of the quixotic generations known as Gen Z and Millennials.
KAWS x Warhol
A never-before-seen look at the striking thematic parallels between KAWS and Andy Warhol, two of the most iconic artists of our time
As celebrated artists that draw from popular culture, KAWS and Andy Warhol are known for creating art that is approachable beyond the confines of the traditional art world.
While at first glance, both artists’ works often appear celebratory and joyful, they share a number of dark common threads beneath the surface: tragedy as spectacle and meditations on death and dying. When these two bold bodies of work are juxtaposed, that connection is made explicit and powerful.
This book highlights the artistic intersection of KAWS and Warhol, featuring their takes on death and disaster, advertising, nostalgia, abstraction, skulls, and self-portraiture. Accompanying a major exhibition at The Andy Warhol Museum that will travel internationally, it presents some of the most standout and analogous works from two of the most popular artists of all time.
Jewish Country Houses
Through a series of striking case studies this revelatory book explores the world of Jewish country houses, their architecture and collections - and the lives of the extraordinary men and women who created, transformed and shaped them.
Country houses are powerful symbols of national identity, evoking the glamorous world of the landowning aristocracy. Jewish country houses - properties that were owned, built, or renewed by Jews - tell a more complex story of prejudice and integration, difference and connection. Many had spectacular art collections and gardens. Some were stages for lavish entertaining, while others inspired the European avant-garde. A few are now museums of international importance, many more are hidden treasures, and all were beloved homes that bear witness to the remarkable achievements of newly emancipated Jews across Europe - and to a dream of belonging that mostly came to a brutal end with the Holocaust.
Beautifully illustrated with historical images and a new body of work by the celebrated photographer Hélene Binet, this book is the first to tell that story: from the playful historicism of the National Trust's Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire to the modernist masterpiece that is the Villa Tugendhat in the Czech city of Brno - and across the Atlantic to the United States, where American Jews infused the European country house tradition with their own distinctive concerns and experiences.
