Andy Warhol - The Complete Textiles and Fashion
This visually stunning volume is the first to document in its entirety Andy Warhol's graphically charged and occasionally whimsical work in textiles and fashion.
Spanning more than three decades, this book highlights a little-known but influential aspect of Warhol's creative output: his inventive use of printed fabrics and wearable design. From roller-printed cottons and border patterns in the 1950s to screen-printed garments in the '70s and '80s, these works reveal the foundations of his Pop aesthetic-serial imagery, commercial motifs, and a playful engagement with surface and form.
His designs appeared on T-shirts, handkerchiefs, silk scarves, laundry bags, underwear, and jackets-everyday items he purchased off the rack and transformed through image and repetition. These early textile creations also mark a crucial step in his artistic development, serving as the origin of the serialization that would define his entire body of work. Because these designs were never intended for galleries or museums, they remained largely overlooked-until now.
Featuring over 200 illustrations, many previously unpublished, the book showcases Warhol's collaborations with manufacturers and designers, including projects with Stephen Sprouse, Halston, and Interview magazine. It also includes promotional pieces, garments made from his textiles, and rare ephemera that place these creations within the broader context of mid-century and postmodern design. Warhol expert Paul Maréchal offers fresh insight into how these works blurred the line between art and commerce, long before artist-brand collaborations became the norm.
His engaging text repositions Warhol not as a conventional fashion figure, but as a visual innovator who reimagined how patterns, products, and popular culture could intersect. Rich in detail and visual flair, this book is essential for Warhol admirers and anyone interested in the crosscurrents of art, clothing, and design.

Say Nephew
A profound and illuminating exploration of the mythology of gay uncles and the meaning of queer bonds across generationsIn Say Nephew, Steven Pfau blends memoir and criticism to celebrate the gay uncles who shape our sense of queer identity, culture, and history. The most influential figure in Pfau’s gay boyhood—the mentor who set the standard for all his future mentors—was his uncle Bruce.A charismatic storyteller with a Burt Reynolds–esque bravado (and a mustache, leather jacket, and pair of cowboy boots to match), Bruce came out in 1950s Memphis and lived in New York City through many of the defining events of the gay liberation era. Bruce was both a unique fixture in his nephew’s upbringing and a link in a long lineage of uncles, literal and figurative, who have offered various forms of queer tutelage to younger men.But what role is the nephew supposed to play in these relationships? And who does he become once his uncles are no longer there to guide him? Both a coming-of-age story and a wide-ranging study, Say Nephew is a wholly original and expansive consideration of queer mentorship.

Conversations with My Rabbi
Conversations with My Rabbi is an unforgettable true story and a profound book of wisdom, offering seven timeless teachings for living well in an uncertain world. In September 2022, Nikki Goldstein was comatose and near death in a Sydney ICU when her husband asked Rabbi Eli Schlanger to pray for her. Standing beside her bed, he blew the shofar and whispered ancient prayers. One day later, Nikki began recovering from the life-threatening infection. Doctors called it a miracle. As she regained her health, this secular Jewish woman and the devout rabbi formed an unlikely and beautiful friendship. Coming from profoundly different worlds – one grounded in religious tradition, the other in temporal modernity – they discovered they were seeking answers to the same essential questions. Together, they turned to ancient Jewish teachings for guidance on living more ethically, compassionately, and spiritually. In January 2025, they began to record their conversations as a book. But just weeks before they were to write the final chapter, Eli was killed on Sydney’s Bondi Beach in one of the deadliest mass-casualty shootings in Australian history. Devastated by shock and grief, Nikki vowed that Eli’s legacy and his mission to bring light, love and moral clarity to the world would not die, because his teachings were more necessary than ever. Reflecting the dialogue-driven Jewish intellectual tradition, the question and answer format of Conversations with My Rabbi invites readers to ponder, to question, and to define their own beliefs as they follow Nikki and Eli’s real, raw, tender, sometimes funny, sometimes fierce, yet always deeply human conversations. A repudiation of the madness we are experiencing today, this book is Rabbi Eli’s eternal gift – a guide for all, regardless of faith, who struggle to live with integrity, compassion and courage in a divided and uncertain world
Out of One, Many
A sweeping new account of ancient Greek culture and its remarkable diversityCovering the whole of the ancient Greek experience from its beginnings late in the third millennium BCE to the Roman conquest in 30 BCE, Out of One, Many is an accessible and lively introduction to the Greeks and their ways of living and thinking. In this fresh and witty exploration of the thought, culture, society, and history of the Greeks, Jennifer Roberts traces not only the common values that united them across the seas and the centuries, but also the enormous diversity in their ideas and beliefs. Examining the huge importance to the Greeks of religion, mythology, the Homeric epics, tragic and comic drama, philosophy, and the city-state, the book offers shifting perspectives on an extraordinary and astonishingly creative people. Century after century, in one medium after another, the Greeks addressed big questions, many of which are still very much with us, from whether gods exist and what happens after we die to what political system is best and how we can know what is real. Yet for all their virtues, Greek men set themselves apart from women and foreigners and profited from the unpaid labor of enslaved workers, and the book also looks at the mixed legacy of the ancient Greeks today. The result is a rich, wide-ranging, and compelling history of a fascinating and profoundly influential culture in all its complexity—and the myriad ways, good and bad, it continues to shape us today.
