O základech hudby
De institutione musica (O základech hudby) Anicia Manlia Torquata Severina Boethia (cca 480–524) je se svými více než sto šedesáti rukopisnými výskyty suverénně nejrozšířenější hudebně-teoretickou prací evropského středověku. Dosud byla českým čtenářům přístupná pouze coby krátký úryvek ve výboru Boethius – Poslední Říman (1981). Zájemci o hlubší studium Boethiova traktátu tak byli odkázáni buď na latinský originál, nebo na překlady do němčiny, angličtiny, italštiny či francouzštiny. Kniha, kterou nyní držíte v rukou, je tedy první kompletní překlad do českého jazyka. Její základ tvoří text dr. Antonína Burdy (1902–1982), jejž ovšem radikálně přepracoval a upravil dr. Michal Ctibor (*1990). Současně také přibyla nová předmluva, poznámkový aparát a výkladový slovníček nejdůležitějších pojmů. Bližší seznámení s Boethiovým textem je užitečné ze dvou hlavních pohledů. Jednak představuje shrnutí antické hudební teorie, ale také umožňuje hlouběji nahlédnout do disciplíny zvané musica, která tvořila pevnou součást výuky kvadrivia na artistických (filozofických) fakultách, mnohde až na práh novověku. A právě tento aspekt by mohl být pro většinu čtenářů novým a překvapivým.
Podmínky a předpoklady
Publikace vychází z disertační práce, jež se soustředí na šedesátá léta, které bylo pro československou výtvarnou kritiku důležitým obdobím. Autorka v jednotlivých částech knihy hledá odpověď na otázku, jak pracovat s kritikou a nabízí možné vymezení výtvarné kritiky jako žánru. Dále se zaměřuje na vnější podmínky, jež nemohli kritici a kritičky sami ovlivnit, ale mohli s nimi pracovat, využívat jejich možnosti a samozřejmě se také museli přizpůsobovat jejich pravidlům. Třetí část textu se pak věnuje vnitřním oborovým předpokladům, které formovaly diskurz i podobu jednotlivých textů.
Designing Futures
The ability to imagine different possible futures and the will to influence the course of events are deeply human. These ideas about the future can also determine which of the many possible futures will become reality. Designing futures therefore means that by creating and communicating potential scenarios, you can shape the futures of your fellow human beings and influence the course of events.
Design is becoming more strategic as a discipline, moving away from 'making things beautiful' to 'thinking creatively'. This book provides designers with the methods and tools they need to develop discussable and tangible scenarios. It also outlines ways for creative people, activists and decision-makers in politics, science and the wider society to imagine more desirable futures.
- With over 500 illustrations. - Case studies from across the world. - Foreword by Riel Miller, senior fellow at the Ecole des Ponts Business School, the University of Stavanger and the University of New Brunswick.
How Banksy Saved Art History
Grovier’s book reframes [Banksy’s] works in a new light. Inextricably linked to Da Vinci, Monet and Van Gogh, Banksy not only makes art but reinvigorates it - Daily Mail
A new take on the history of art – from da Vinci to Warhol – as reinterpreted and ultimately reinforced by the international phenomenon that is Banksy
Few would dispute that Banksy is the most famous urban artist in the world today. That he is also one of the most perceptive art historians of our age might come as a surprise to many. But the myriad memorable works he has created over the past thirty years constitute an audacious commentary on the history of image-making – a captivating critique waiting to be pieced together.
Armed with little more than stencils, spray paint and an anonymizing cloak of after-hours darkness, Banksy has forged an alluring identity for himself as an incorrigible prankster who doesn’t embrace tradition but shreds it. What actually illuminates Banksy’s audacious murals, impromptu urban sculptures and vandalized paintings, however, is a profound understanding of the story of art. Banksy recasts masterpieces as powerful comments on contemporary issues: climate change, consumerism and the struggle for peace, and reveals these works to be surprisingly elastic, resilient and relevant.
In this fully illustrated and entertaining exploration, bestselling author Kelly Grovier traces art history through Banksy’s lens, presenting many of his most recognizable works: from his droll lampooning of the Lascaux cave paintings to his reinvention of Monet’s enchanting water-lily pond, a reboot of Géricault’s tragic gut-wrenching vision to Vermeer’s girl now instilled with street cred, everyone’s genius is grist for his unmerciful mill. Far from being diminished in their significance, however, the works that Banksy ruthlessly parodies are ultimately refurbished by the ordeal. Banksy’s iconoclastic works force us to rethink our affection for, and appreciation of, great works of art that define cultural history.

Xavier Veilhan / Chanel (Bilingual edition)
The House of Chanel offers rare access behind the scenes to three haute couture runway shows designed in dialogue with contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan.
Virginie Viard, artistic director for Chanel’s fashion collections, entrusted Xavier Veilhan with the set design for three consecutive haute couture shows: Spring?Summer 2022, Fall?Winter 2022/23, and Spring?Summer 2023. This unusually long dialogue resulted in an original visual universe, blending Veilhan’s poetic imagination, his reinterpretation of the Chanel world, and the infinite delicacy of Virginie Viard’s haute couture creations.
This retrospective transports readers behind the scenes to observe each stage of the creative work at the origin of the shows. The book includes preparatory drawings, extracts from the films and teasers, photographs of the sets and the runway shows, and details of the embroidery, fabrics, and patterns of the haute couture creations. Exclusive images take readers inside the Chanel haute couture ateliers, revealing the design process and exceptional savoir faire at their core.
Graphic Classics
This deep dive into graphic design history presents the work of more than 400 designers across 33 countries and 5 continents, with work dating back to the 14th century.
Reimagined from the Phaidon best-seller Graphic: 500 Designs that Matter, the book’s dizzying array of designs range from the Gutenberg Bible to Joy Division album art, with work by both anonymous creators and industry icons such as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Paul Rand, Paula Scher, Ahn Sang-soo, and Julia Born.

Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, organized chronologically, and with the addition of 50 new examples that highlight designers reshaping the graphic culture of today, this collection is more comprehensive, compelling – and relevant – than ever before.
Marvin E. Newman
In 1952, after becoming one of the first-ever recipients of a Master of Science degree in Photography at Chicago's Institute of Design, native New Yorker Marvin E. Newman returned to his hometown. Like many artists before, he set about chronicling the city. Unlike his predecessors, Newman chose color photography as the preeminent medium for capturing the people and energy of New York, and its emergence in the 1950s as the self-proclaimed "Greatest City in the World."
Lauded by the likes of Eastman House, MoMA, and the International Center of Photography, Newman's images remained, up until now, largely undiscovered beyond a prestigious collector and gallery circle. After featuring Newman in New York: Portrait of a City, TASCHEN now presents the artist's first career monograph including some 170 pictures from the late 1940s through the early 1980s, previously available in a Collector's Edition. Newman passed away in 2023 at the age of 95.
From Times Square to Wall Street, from Broadway to Little Italy, Newman's vivid, original tableaux offer fresh perspectives on familiar New York landmarks but, above all, a unique sense for life in the city and for the drama and extremities that weld New York to so many hearts. Beyond New York, Newman applies the same flawless technique and humanist sensibility to other locations across the United States including Chicago, Kansas, a vintage 1950s circus; a legalized brothel in Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas; Alaska; and groovy 1960s California; as well as top shots from his sports photography portfolio featuring icons such as Cassius Clay and Pele´.
Newman, who is represented by the prestigious Howard Greenberg Gallery, was long overdue a monograph. With an essay by critic and scholar Lyle Rexer, this first chronological retrospective offers due recognition to an outstanding talent, providing memorable images that leave their mark on the eye and the soul.

A komolyzene anekdotakincse
„Ez a kötet a komolyzene nagyjainak életéből merít. Olyan történeteket sorol fel, melyeket ők maguk, a barátaik, a szeretteik vagy a hozzájuk kevésbé közel álló kortársak vetettek papírra. Nem pletykálni és nem kukkolni akar. Az a szándéka, hogy - bármily halványan is, de - rávilágítson a nagy zeneművek keletkezési körülményeire. Legyenek humorosak vagy tragikusak, könnyedek vagy mély értelműek, hétköznapiak vagy emelkedettek, magán- vagy közéletiek, egy a céljuk: emberi arcot adni egy évezred zenéjének” - írja Norman Lebrecht, a Művészek és menedzserek és a Maestro! Magyarországon is ismert szerzője. A könyv mindenekelőtt remek mulatság, ugyanakkor alapos kutató és rendszerező munka eredménye, és az egész zenetörténetet felöleli: Arezzói Guidótól (991-1050) Pierre Boulezig (1925-2016) tart a komponisták sora, melyet néhány nagy előadó (többek között Beecham, Caruso, Saljapin, Rosztropovics) színesít. Szerepelnek benne szép számmal magyarok is. Lebrecht gyűjteménye az anekdotázás természetére is rávilágít. Több szem nemcsak többet lát, de olykor egészen mást, esetleg homlokegyenest az ellenkezőjét. Vagy ne adj' isten, nem mondanak igazat az állítólagos szemtanúk. Az egyik például úgy látta, hogy pontosan az történt Berlioz Requiem-jének bemutatóján, amit maga a szerző az emlékirataiban elmesélt, a másik szerint egy szó sem igaz belőle. Egy harmadik (mint mondja) megkérdezte Berliozt, hogyan írhatott le ekkora valótlanságot, mire a komponista nevetve azt válaszolta: „Túlságosan jó történet volt ahhoz, hogy lemondjak róla!”

Dětem na míru
Publikace se zabývá designem nábytku, hraček a užitou grafikou pro děti předškolního a mladšího školního věku v socialistickém Československu. Vedle hraček či knih, které se dočkaly masové výroby a stotisícových nákladů a které dodnes najdeme v mnoha domácnostech, si autorky jednotlivých studií všímají kusů, jež zůstaly jen ve fázi návrhů a prototypů. Podobně jako v mnoha jiných oblastech dobové produkce i v designu pro děti platilo, že mnoho věcí bylo vymyšleno či vyzkoušeno v experimentální poloze, do výroby se však většinou nedostaly. Kniha nechává stranou fenomén „retra“ a soustředí se na inovativní koncepční, výtvarná a materiálová řešení. Medailonky přibližují dvě desítky českých a slovenských autorů, kteří se věnovali tvorbě pro děti s ohledem na jejich specifika a potřeby. Kniha navazuje na stejnojmennou výstavu, kterou do začátku června 2024 hostí Slovenské národní muzeum v Bratislavě (30. 11. 2023–2. 6. 2024) a již připravila kurátorka UPM Lucie Skřivánková.
Street-Level Superstar
Guardian Book of the Day
A Foyles Top Ten Read for September
Lawrence is the greatest pop star who never made it, his dreams of glory thwarted over the past five decades by bad luck and self-sabotage. At sixty-one, he set off on a new mission: to escape poverty, obscurity and the humiliation of kids at the bus stop laughing at him by writing a smash hit. But what is the cost of a dream?
In 1980, Lawrence formed Felt, who released ten albums and ten singles in ten years before splitting up. In 1991, he reinvented himself with novelty-pop outfit Denim. Signed to EMI, riding the wave of Britpop, in 1997, Denim's song 'Summer Smash' became Radio 1's Single of the Week and looked like a sure-fire hit. Then Princess Diana was killed in a car crash. All copies were melted down. Crushing depression, addiction and homelessness followed... but in the face of it all, Lawrence never gave up.
In Street-Level Superstar, bestselling author and journalist Will Hodgkinson follows Lawrence as he rebuilds his life. He gets mistaken for an old lady by an amorous pensioner, is reduced to dragging sacks of 2p coins to his local bank and wanders through London's distant suburbs in search of lyrical inspiration. As they walk together down rain-soaked streets, Will tells the story of Britain's most eccentric cult star. Will he write the greatest song the world has ever known before the year is out? And was it worth sacrificing everything - family, relationships, health, sanity - for art?

Peter Lindbergh. Dior. 40th Ed.
Peter Lindbergh photographed Dior's most exceptional muses, Marion Cotillard and Charlize Theron among them, and signed campaigns for Lady Dior and J'Adore with his inimitable style. Throughout his career, the photographer was one of the house's closest collaborators. This final book was an original cocreation that was close to the artist's heart-and to ours.
Seventy years of Dior history projected against the effervescence of Times Square, New York: this was the concept behind Lindbergh's project, extraordinary both in scope and dimension, for which Dior, in an unusual move, allowed an unprecedented number of priceless garments to be taken from its vaults in Paris and shipped across the Atlantic.
The result is electric. Amid the frenzy of Times Square, Alek Wek glows in the immaculate 1947 Bar suit, the storied ensemble that launched the House of Dior. In snatches of street scenes, models Saskia de Brauw, Karen Elson, and Amber Valletta flit through crowds and scaffolding, are reflected in building façades, and draped in haute couture, from pieces hand-sewn by Christian Dior to more recent designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Lindbergh's trademark monochrome and color photographs masterfully highlight the intricacies, silhouettes, and textures of each garment.
Lindbergh himself is present in every aspect of this publication designed by his long-time collaborator and friend Juan Gatti. This volume features 165 never-before-published images from the shoot, including an introduction by Martin Harrison, and pays homage to Lindbergh's profound relationship with the Parisian House by curating more than 100 of his photographs of Dior creations, from haute couture to ready-to-wear, men's and women's, originally published in some of the world's most prestigious magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. A breathtaking tribute to two pillars of fashion and photography and their timeless collaborations.
How Communication Design Works
Reflections and practical action for the rapidly evolving discipline of visual communication.
Communication design is undergoing radical changes: an overabundant flood of information, fake news, bots, AI, social media, crude graphic tools on the Internet as well as the speed of processes and increasing pressure to be efficient, coupled with increased competition in the design sector and sometimes precarious working conditions. All of these factors put creatives in the field under pressure, leaving them little time to reflect on their own work. This handbook responds to the current situation by shedding new light on the societal relevance of the discipline in the context of professional practice.
The authors use their extensive expertise, practical work examples, and actionable suggestions to identify what really matters in visual communication. They describe the far-reaching interconnectedness of design with a wide range of issues and deal intensively with the current challenges. The overarching leitmotif is that communication design is always the result of the attitude of its protagonists – this compendium makes clear how their actions influence communication, what values are conveyed, and what our visual world looks like as a result.
Worldbuilding: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age
Alternative Realities
"Video games are to the twenty-first cetury what movies were to the twentieth century and novels to the nineteenth century." - HANS ULRICH OBRIST
WORLDBUILDING: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age examines the relationship between gaming and time-based media art. It is the first transgenerational show of this scope to survey how contemporary artists world-wide are appropriating the aesthetics and technology of gaming as their form of expression. Commissioned by the Julia Stoschek Foundation and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the exhibition features works by more than 50 artists, including Rebecca Allen, Cory Arcangel, LaTurbo Avedon, Meriem Bennani, Ian Cheng, Cao Fei, Harun Farocki, Porpentine Charity Heartscape, Pierre Huyghe, Rindon Johnson, KAWS, Sondra Perry, Jacolby Satterwhite, Sturtevant, and Suzanne Treister.
This catalogue is conceptualized as a future standard reference in the field in close collaboration with Hans Ulrich Obrist. In addition to texts by contemporary theorists, curators, and critics on the individual works, a series of newly commissioned contributions will investigate various perspectives on the intersection of gaming and time-based media art.
This playfully designed volume features rounded edges, a screen-printed PVC dust jacket and kiss-cut stickers showing a range of different digital avatars.
