1935, in the Pennsylvania wilderness, and the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, of 1956, in
New York, the book offers an extraordinarily abundant trove of architectural riches. Featuring more
than a hundred discrete works, from the well
known to the obscure, expertly discussed in the text
of highly respected Wright scholar Kathryn Smith,

Frank Lloyd Wright
THE HEROIC YEARS: 1920–1932
BRUCE BROOKS PFEIFFER
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT FOUNDATION
Wright thrived on adversity and rose above it
to produce some of his most important works
during one of the most difficult and trying
periods in his life.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s wife, Olgivanna, is famously
quoted as saying that “My husband seemed to
thrive on hardships.” From the years 1920 to 1932
Wright’s fortunes were at a low ebb; he was plagued
by financial, personal, and professional setbacks,
but saw the time as one of challenges instead of one
of defeat. Unable to find patrons, his imagination led
to visionary, often splendid, architectural conceptions that laid the groundwork for the revolutionary
architecture he would build in the decades to follow.
During this period he designed almost fifty projects,
of which only a few were realized, but those few are
seen today as among his most important creations.
They include the majestic Imperial Hotel in Tokyo,
four exquisite textured concrete block houses in
Los Angeles, renovations and additions to his
beloved home, Taliesin, in Wisconsin, the Octillo
Desert Camp in Chandler, Arizona, and his work as
design consultant for the lavish Arizona Biltmore
Hotel and Cottages in the desert in Phoenix. Rare
and unseen photos as well as little-known drawings
from this period are on lavish display in this important work on the master architect.
Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer is a trustee of the
Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale,
Arizona, and, as director of the archives there, is
the curator of its 300,000 correspondence documents and 22,000 drawings, some of which are
shown here for the first time. He has been a
member of the Taliesin Fellowship for over fortyfour years, and is the author and/or editor of over
forty books on Frank Lloyd Wright.

Rooms to Inspire:
Country
THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES
OF AMERICAN HOUSE DESIGN
ANNIE KELLY
PHOTOGRAPHY BY TIM STREET-PORTER
A follow-up to the successful Rooms to Inspire,
this inspirational guide focuses on trendsetters’
fresh points of view to country living.
Country living evokes bucolic landscapes and
picturesque villages—rolling Connecticut countryside, verdant farmland, the sun-drenched hills of
Malibu—and the architecture that echoes these
idyllic settings. These houses, ranging from family
estates to weekend retreats, are the personal homes of
decorators and tastemakers, including Jonathan
Adler, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, and Steven
Gambrel. The properties exemplify varied design
perspectives and provide fresh ideas about how
country living is ideal for creative expression.
This inspiring medley ranges from Tony Duquette’s
exotic pavilion-style California home to a charming
New York Victorian, a modernist Palm Springs
desert getaway by Neutra, a nineteenth-century
Gothic cottage on Shelter Island, and an eighteenthcentury Connecticut house. Along with design
ideas for interiors, the book also covers the garden
and pool areas. Since outdoor entertaining is an
integral part of country living, a section devoted to
tabletop display is included. These beautifully
photographed inspirations encourage the reader to
explore the design opportunities in the country
guided by the best interior designers.
Decorator and journalist Annie Kelly has authored
many books, including Casa San Miguel, and writes a
book column for 1stdibs.com. She is also the editorin-chief of the New York Observer Home magazine.
Award-winning photographer Tim Street-Porter is
the author of numerous architecture and design
books, including L.A. Modern . He is also a frequent
contributor to many design magazines.

The Stephen
Sprouse Book
MAURICIO PADILHA AND ROGER PADILHA
FOREWORD BY TAMA JANOWITZ
The first monograph on the influential fashion
designer whose graffiti- and rock-inspired
clothing defined the 1980s.
Inventive, enigmatic, and supremely creative, Stephen
Sprouse made art and clothing that captured the mood
of the eighties. One of the first American designers to
mix graffiti and a punk aesthetic with fashion, Sprouse
manipulated conventional notions of style, and his
unique sensibility has inspired designers from John
Galliano to Raf Simmons to Marc Jacobs.
Sprouse’s career started in the late seventies, when,
after working for Halston, he migrated to a warehouse
on the Bowery and started making outfits for his
neighbor, Debbie Harry. The fashion world quickly
embraced his innovative, culturally relevant sensibility and downtown edge. But Sprouse’s inability to
compromise his artistic vision for the rigid fashion
business compromised his commercial success.
The Padilhas possess the largest private collection of
Sprouse’s work, and were given exclusive access to his
archives by his family for this project.They also obtained
never-before-published images from photographers
such as Steven Meisel, Bob Gruen, and Mert and
Marcus. The book features a foreword by the novelist
Tama Janowitz, one of Sprouse’s closest friends.

The release of this book coincides with a retrospective at Deitch Projects. The book will be available
with four different jackets, each featuring a different
Day-Glo color, an homage to Sprouse’s iconic
album cover for Debbie Harry’s Rockbird.
Mauricio Padilha and Roger Padilha run
MAO Public Relations, MAO SPACE, a series of
runway shows that coincide with New York Fashion
Week, and publish MAO MAG, a bi-annual fashion
magazine. Tama Janowitz is the author of seven
novels, including Slaves of New York.

Berlin
A PERFORMANCE BY LOU REED
DIRECTED BY JULIAN SCHNABEL
LOU REED AND JULIAN SCHNABEL
Lou Reed’s live performance in 2007 of his
legendary Berlin concept album, captured on film
by Julian Schnabel, represented both a personal
triumph in an astonishing career and a majestic
collaboration between two of the most profound
artists of our times.
Berlin is a concept album that represented a brave
departure from the familiar sounds and themes of
Lou Reed’s earlier solo work, a tragic tale about
heartbreak and addiction meant to be played live
as a rock opera, in the vein of The Who’s Tommy.
But its poor reception meant that plans for a live
performance were put on hold until 2007, when,
with a renewed confidence in the material, Reed
toured with a full orchestra and choir, giving some
of the most personal and powerful performances
of his career.
The tour was filmed by legendary artist Julian
Schnabel, a longtime friend of Reed’s who also
designed the spare and beautiful set, and whose
daughter Lola contributed moving images projected
behind the stage. This immeasurably powerful book
draws on stills from Schnabel’s film, photographs of
the set design, printed lyrics of Reed’s original verse,
and images from Schnabel’s projections to tell the
twin stories of Berlin as rock opera and as unique
collaboration between two geniuses of contemporary
art, music, words, and film. The book also includes a
rare conversation between Reed and Schnabel.
Lou Reed is a founding member of the Velvet Underground and an accomplished solo artist, poet, writer, and
photographer. He lives in New York. Julian Schnabel
is a celebrated artist and filmmaker whose work is in the
permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum
and MoMA in New York, and whose film The Diving Bell
and the Butterfly was nominated for four Academy
Awards. He lives in New York.

Kanye West
Glow in the Dark
KANYE WEST
Are you ready to glow in the dark?
The only and official record of one of the most
highly anticipated tours of the year. Including a USB
drive of previously unreleased music, the book is
both a memento of the tour and an object conceived
by the artist himself—entirely collectible on its own.
Appearing alone on stage for almost the entirety of
the show with huge Star Wars-inspired spacescapes
behind him, West’s Glow in the Dark Tour is both
a musical and a visual odyssey of Kanye as a true
pioneer. This deluxe landscape volume promises to
be yet another creation of this multifaceted artist
and will include his original sketches and concepts;
3-D models and construction of the stage; concept
art for “J.A.N.E.”; costume designs (including his
Grace Jones-inspired outfits for opening act
Rihanna); and blog of his journey. The gatefolds
and special edition USB drive put this artist’s innovative and signature stamp on an already visually
radical piece.
Ten-time Grammy Award winner Kanye West began
his career producing hits for such major R&B
artists as Jay-Z and Janet Jackson before achieving
triple platinum success on his own. The son of a
Black Panther and former English professor, West is
known for his sociopolitical lyrics and for sampling
from a wide variety of genres. He attended the
American Academy of Art in Chicago and is steeped
in current trends in art, design, electronics, fashion,
and architecture.

ENCHANTING HOTELS
CASEY O’BRIEN BLONDES
PHOTOGRAPHY BY BÉATRICE AMAGAT
Lush and striking rooms from the most intimate,
exclusive, uniquely Parisian hotels—the perfect
gift for both the sophisticated traveler and the
interiors enthusiast.
From the author of French Country Hideaways

Eschewing the larger hotels and chains, Casey

list of four-star escapes carefully selected for
their interior design, authenticity, panache, and
personalized service.
Grouped by theme—including literary, historic,
and boudoir—the hotels present an enticing range
of décor, from the timeless splendor of the Raphael,
with its incomparable view of the Arch de
Triomphe from its lush rooftop garden restaurant,
to the minimalist verve of Hotel le A, off the
Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where graphic black-andwhite décor harmonize with Gallic élan. Each is
unique, yet all share in common family or manager
ownership, fewer than 100 rooms, generous room
size, and very distinctive French style.
With lush color photography and in-depth
descriptions of each hotel, including a list of neighborhood restaurants, boutiques, gourmet treats,
curiosities, or walking tours, Parisian Hideaways
is a must for anyone longing to escape to or be
inspired by the City of Lights.

Estée
ESTÉE LAUDER
INTRODUCTION BY AERIN LAUDER
The only autobiography by the legendary icon
of the cosmetics industry, tells her inspiring and
timeless story firsthand.
First published in 1985 and now back in print in a
beautifully designed edition, this is a book filled with
the inspirations, strategies, and the well-lived and
charming instincts that led Estée Lauder from a
childhood upbringing in Queens, New York, to the
pinnacle of New York society and international style.
She soared through the “glass ceiling” with style, a
unique accommodation of people’s needs, and an
infectious enthusiasm that we all can learn from.
From her first break at a major New York store to
the formation of companies that include Estée
Lauder, Aramis, Clinique, Prescriptives, Origins,
M-A-C, Le Mer, Aveda, Jo Malone, Coach, and a
host of additional leading brands selling on five
continents, Mrs. Lauder reveals how her family
business became an empire. Legendary clashes with
competitors are divulged, including stories of how
she outsmarted them with remarkable style, grace,
and determination. She describes how she learned
to connect with women, the iconoclastic marketing
breakthroughs, and the years of incredibly hard
work that led to domination of the cosmetic world.
She is renowned for conducting a life of drama, but
with color and elegance and always with a focus on
exquisite detail. In this book, she shared her secrets
of good business and good living.
Direct, disarming, Estée Lauder was a philanthropist
and social leader, receiving many honors including
the Legion of Honor. She was named by Harper’s
Bazaar as one of the 100 American Women of Accomplishment, voted one of the Top Ten Outstanding Women
in Business, and appeared regularly on the best-dressed
lists. Aerin Lauder is the granddaughter of Estée
Lauder and is Senior Vice President Creative Director of
Estée Lauder.

One Hundred & One
Beautiful Small Coastal
Towns of America
STEPHEN BREWER
PHOTOGRAPHY BY LORENZO DE SIMONE
A lavishly illustrated and informative tour
of beautiful and historic seaside towns in the
United States.
The first volume in the bestselling One Hundred &
One series devoted to the United States, this book is
a unique photographic tour of the most charming
towns along the American littoral, from ancient New
England fishing towns and the wide strands of
Florida’s beach towns to the rugged West Coast.
Stephen Brewer’s inviting text not only draws
attention to aesthetic, natural, and architectural
points of interest in every region, but also brings to
life the special history of each place, from William
Randolph Hearst’s “castle” on California’s central
coast to Newport’s grand nineteenth-century
“cottages.” Every stretch of the U.S. coast is
included—Maine’s bracing fishing coves,
Louisiana bayous, and undiscovered gems like
California’s Eureka, a charming Victorian town just
beyond the “Lost Coast” in the state’s far north. An
appendix provides details about hotels, restaurants,
shops, and nearby points of interest for each town.
This tour of the hidden treasures and charming
sights of America’s seaside is perfect inspiration
for the armchair traveler or anyone considering a
vacation closer to home.
Stephen Brewer lives in New York. He was a
senior editor at Geo and Connoisseur. His books

Since establishing his office in New York in 1985, Thad Hayes has become
one of the most sought-after young interior designers. As the twenty-two residences here show, he is noted for light-filled interiors characterized by calm
colors, quietude, and elegance. His interiors embrace the period and the
modern, significant objects and simple ones, furniture he finds and pieces he
designs. Hayes’s rooms resound in meditative understatement but are not
afraid of being daring. From a penthouse on Central Park, a Deco duplex on
Park Avenue, or a pied-à-terre at the Pierre Hotel to a Palm Beach retreat and
Hamptons hideaway, his designs are remarkable for their symbiotic sensitivity to the client and his own subtle, extraordinarily beautiful aesthetic.
Thad Hayes’s work has been frequently featured in House & Garden and Architectural Digest , where he was on the coveted “ AD 100” list and also named
one of the “Deans of Design.” Charles Gandee is a well-known arts and

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM HOME:
FROM WRECK TO RAVISHING
ROBERT AND CORTNEY NOVOGRATZ
A fresh, new kind of style book on renovating and
decorating design-savvy, family-friendly homes.
New York City–based couple Robert and Cortney
Novogratz have been renovating and designing
unique and hip homes for families for over ten years.
Describing their signature style as a sophisticated
but bohemian mix of high and low, new and old,
they offer their realistic advice on how to create
original, warm interiors with ease.
One part practical guide, one part inspirational
volume on creating a look for the home, the book
pairs humorous anecdotes about the pitfalls and
pleasures of renovation with a treasure trove of
decorating tips: how to use both boutique and fleamarket finds; how to inject lots of personality into a
room affordably; how to decorate kids’ rooms so
they appeal to children and adults; how to easily
rehabilitate outdated furnishings; and many more.
In each of the ten projects featured—which include
a townhouse in New York City, a country house in
Massachusetts, and a beach house in Brazil—before
and after shots document the agony and ecstasy of
any renovation project, as well as revealing the
design duo’s vision and remarkable ability to see
through the most awful of spaces to the amazing
home that lies within.
Robert and Cortney Novogratz , native Southerners, came to New York City more than ten years
ago and soon after founded Sixx Design. Featured
in scores of American and European shelter magazines, their work includes residential and commercial projects throughout the world. Their next
major project is a six-story manse that includes a
full-size basketball court.

Mark Borthwick
NOT IN FASHION
MARK BORTHWICK
The first comprehensive survey of the work of Mark Borthwick, one of the
most influential alternative fashion photographers of our time.
Mark Borthwick is among the generation of photographers who in the ’90s
broke through the conventions of fashion photography. Integrating elements
of architecture and design, he has developed a very personal and intuitive
style, and knows how to turn a static photo into a performance. His work is
about the movement of the model, and the serendipity of accidental clutter
is as important to his images as the garments.

the scenes” of the makings of a fashion image.
Mark Borthwick ’s work regularly appears in magazines such as i-D, Interview, Italian Vogue, and Purple. His photographs have been exhibited around
the world and featured in art magazines such as Artforum and Flash Art.

Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler is an insightful behind-the-scenes meditation on the film’s provocative characters and the choices they make. Once a
hugely successful WWF wrestler, Randy the Ram now ekes out a living
performing for diehard wrestling fans from the 1980s in high school gyms
and community centers around New Jersey. But when he suffers a heart
attack, Randy’s doctor tells him he needs to lay off the steroids and stop
wrestling altogether. Forced out of show business, Randy begins to evaluate
the state of his life. But the pull of the spotlight is too strong and he attempts
once again to find his way back into the ring. Featuring actors Mickey
Rourke, Academy award–winning Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood,
this book is an extension of Aronofsky’s filmic vision, and will contain film
stills, the original shooting script, still photos, original art, and observations
by its creators, cast, and crew.
Darren Aronofsky ’s directorial debut π won the Director’s Award at the
1998 Sundance Film Festival, an Independent Spirit award and the Open
Palm. Aronofsky’s other films include Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain.
Robert Siegel was editor-in-chief of the satirical newspaper The Onion
from 1996 to 2003. He is now a full-time screenwriter.

Daniel Johnston
TEXTS BY PHILIPPE VERGNE,
JAD FAIR, AND HARVEY PEKAR
INTERVIEW WITH DANIEL JOHNSTON
A lifetime of visual art from an unexpected genius.
Daniel Johnston only ever dreamt of two things: he
wanted to be a rock star and he wanted to be a famous
artist. Amazingly enough, he succeeded at both.
Today he is an acclaimed indie music star whose
charmingly twisted songs have been covered by the
likes of Beck, Yo La Tengo, and TV on The Radio.
His artwork appears in galleries throughout the world
and was featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.
Johnston’s pen and colored marker drawings
contain a range of characters, some benign or
heroic, and others quite disturbing. In his complex
world, good battles evil attended to by an assortment of playful characters. Johnston’s world is also
informed by his conservative Christian upbringing,
and filled with depictions of biblical vengeance and
salvation. Looking at his work, we are reminded of
Heironymous Bosch as much as DC Comics.
Daniel Johnston, Untitled, 2000-2006
Daniel Johnston contains over 150 full color illustrations, many taken from the artist’s private archives
and never seen before. There is also commentary
and analysis by the Walker Art Center’s Philippe
Vergne, alt-rock luminary Jad Fair, and underground
comic legend, Harvey Pekar.
“I see him as an artist on the periphery of the art
world, but not an outsider artist . . . It’s impressive
when you see the consistency of the work.”
—Philippe Vergne
Art Foundation, was formerly chief curator and associate
director of the Walker Art Center and co-curated the 2006
Whitney Biennial, in which Johnston's work was
included. Jad Fair is an alt-rock elder statesman who
led the influential band, Half-Japanese. He is also a
respected visual artist in his own right. Harvey Pekar
is author of the influential underground comic book
series, American Splendor.

Tiny Houses
MIMI ZEIGER
From modular to prefab, tiny dwellings follow an
intrinsically green philosophy of the reduction of
waste—space and otherwise.
In the spirit of treading a bit lighter on the planet, a
new trend in sustainable living architecture is what
is called “microgreen living”—literally the creation
of tiny homes where people challenge themselves to
live “greener” lives. This idea, which sprang from
eco-awareness and the reduction of carbon footprints, has led people to consider low-impact living
as a “greener” alternative to ordinary housing. Far
beyond solar panels and the use of sustainable
materials, homeowners have embraced the concept
and have implemented many creative and stylish
solutions for day-to-day living, such as a room that
doubles as a shower with one swift movement of
plexi-glass from a well-concealed pocket door. A
tiny house is an experiment of space but also a
challenge to simplify ways of life.
Tiny Houses brings together an international collection of over thirty prefab homes and living concepts
under 1,000 square feet—some are practical and
others are cheeky, ranging from treehouses and
compact dwellings to floating houses. The book
presents conceptual building plans, detailed illustrations, and vivid photographs of the homes,
architects, and proud enthusiasts who live in them.
How much space is unused and “wasted” in your
own home? This book will inspire the reader to
think about architecture and interior design in a
new and enlightened way.
Mimi Zeiger is the founder and editor of Loud
Paper Magazine, a cheeky architectural digest
geared toward young architects. Zeiger also writes
for Metropolis and Dwell magazines and teaches
courses at SCI-Arc on urban branding and architectural journalism.

Ranch Houses
THE CALIFORNIA DREAM
AND BEYOND
DAVID WEINGARTEN AND LUCIA HOWARD
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOE FLETCHER
Sparkling new photography showcases this
extraordinarily inviting house form, including
such exemplars as Will Rogers’s Ranch in Pacific
Palisades and the Sinatra House in Palm Springs.
With its archetypal open plan and reverence of
indoor-outdoor living, the Ranch house is at the
very heart of the California dream. When we
picture California Ranch houses—the low-slung,
informal dwellings that engulfed suburbs after
World War II—we are thinking of just one part of a
phenomenon that has its roots in early-nineteenthcentury ranchos, and which continues today in
houses that are startling and up-to-the-minute.
Examples of the type have been called ranchos,
ranchers, and California ramblers. They have been
styled Spanish, Japanese, and French; Monterey
and International; Vernacular, Minimalist, and
Modernist. From the 1797 Rancho Los Alamitos of
Long Beach to such contemporary homes as the
Miller Residence of Corte Madera, Ranch Houses
unveils the great variety and the very finest examples of this multifaceted form.
Including the work of such architectural luminaries
as Cliff May, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and
Charles Moore, Ranch Houses is an essential
resource for architects, home owners, and all those
who aspire to the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that is
the California Dream.
Lucia Howard and David Weingarten are principals at Ace Architects in Oakland. Weingarten has
authored several design books, including Bay Area
Style. Joe Fletcher is an architectural photographer
who regularly contributes to Dwell, the San Francisco
Chronicle, and California Home + Design. He is the
photographer for Rizzoli’s Cliff May and the Modern
Ranch House.

SOPHISTICATED
SOUTHERN STYLE
SUSAN SULLY
Seductive contemporary interiors from the
region’s most sophisticated cities breathe new
life into the timeless traditions of Southern style.
The Southern Cosmopolitan looks at the tradition of
style shaping the South’s architecture and interior
design. A selection of luxurious houses from
Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, Atlanta,
Natchez, Georgetown, and Alexandria celebrates the
sophisticated side of southern style with a mix of
modern art, antiques, and exotic textiles. Featured in
tantalizing color photographs are select residences
decorated by leading southern tastemakers,
including Thomas Jayne, Amelia Handegan, Nancy
Braithewaite, and Hal Williamson.
An immaculately restored mansion in Natchez and a
collector’s treasure trove in Alexandria reveal the
South’s love affair with historic European and
American architecture, art, and antiques. A classic
re-do of a Colonial Revival home in Georgetown
and a modern Atlanta condominium decorated with
French antiques and contemporary art showcase
the southern blend of old and new. A Greek Revival
house filled with exotic textiles in Charleston and an
Italianate townhouse in Savannah display the
South’s fascination with foreign and exotic decorative objects. A perfect summary of southern taste for
those charmed by both the grandeur and intimate
details that make these homes so hospitable.
Susan Sully is the author of several books,
including The Southern Cottage. An authority on
regional architecture and design, she lectures
frequently on the subject and writes for publications including Southern Accents, Town & Country, and
Art and Antiques.

Ultimate Tropical
LUCA INVERNIZZI TETTONI
The ultimate survey of contemporary and
traditional domestic architecture and interior
design in the tropics is an inspiration to anyone
interested in the lush, exotic styles of paradise.
This is the definitive survey of domestic living in
the tropics—from traditional forms to the latest in
contemporary design—with a particular emphasis
on Asia and Oceania. The authoritative selection
of lush images and the informative commentary by
a noted design writer set this title apart from others
on the subject.
Featuring over 500 photographs, this book depicts
the amazing richness of architectural and interior
design styles found throughout the tropics. Rustic
and luxurious, simple and ornate, historic and
contemporary—the tropics contain startling visual
and stylistic juxtapositions that all share an exotic
quality and somehow work together to create
harmonious, comfortable spaces for living. The
styles featured here range from traditional bamboo
stilt houses filled with simple charm to the most
opulently decorated grand homes.
One of the common denominators of all the tropical
styles featured is how they blend seamlessly with the
environment and attempt to create a harmonious
balance between human needs and nature. However
remote the location, all of the homes and interiors
showcased are designed to respond and adapt to
their natural settings.
This book is the ultimate visual resource for the
tropical lifestyle, and anyone who views these
images will be inspired to view their own surroundings with fresh eyes.
Luca Invernizzi Tettoni is the author of
numerous groundbreaking books that focus on
tropical lifestyles, including The Arts of Thailand, Arts

a wilderness splendor.The photographs capture the region’s famous sandy
beaches, tree-covered mountains, tidepools brimming with life, and
secluded harbors, as well as quaint villages, historic lighthouses, cranberry
bogs, and lobster boats. Chapters cover Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, and
Portland to Penobscot Bay, Mount Desert Island, and Cobscook Bay. A

The English Breakfast
REINVENTED CLASSICS AND
NEW VARIATIONS FROM
THE WOLSELEY
A. A. GILL
The definitive book on the beloved English
breakfast, complete with traditional classics and
recipes reinvented with contemporary verve from
one of London’s most renowned dining (and
breakfast) destinations.
This book celebrates everything that makes breakfast (and its cousin, brunch) special from the
country that has raised it to the level of culinary
art. While often called the most important meal of
the day, here is proof that breakfast can also be the
most delicious: traditional as well as imaginative
ways to prepare eggs, delicious pastries and
breads, hearty porridges, meats and fish. Best of
all, included is the definitive guide to assembling a
hearty “full English breakfast”—perfect for entertaining or for a romantic breakfast for two.
Inspired by London’s iconic restaurant, The
Wolseley, the book evokes the unique atmosphere of
this beautifully restored Art Deco gem where breakfast has become an institution and a celebration. The
Wolseley is a cross between a Parisian brasserie and a
cozy Viennese café, attracting a large number of
Americans as well as London’s elite.
Whether simple fresh fruit or the full English breakfast everyone recalls from their college year abroad,
these pages contain everything there is to know
about cooking, serving, and enjoying breakfast and
will be the key to starting every day as if it were
“breakfast at the Wolseley”—with effortless élan.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE PAUL KASMIN GALLERY
The first comprehensive book on the Pop-Surrealist artist.

the New York art scene in the ’80s as part of a dynamic and influential group
of artists that included Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel
Basquiat. He has since returned to California, but he has retained the playful
Pop aesthetic for which he is internationally renowned.

This complete new volume covers Scharf ’s illustrious career and his experiences and activities in the downtown art scene. His work is instantly recognizable, with idiosyncratic cartoon creatures popping up in the oddest of
places: in paintings, on functional objects, or piled up on top of each other to
form huge totem-poles. Richard Marshall helps navigate the reader across the
decades of Scharf ’s career. Carlo McCormick’s essay focuses on Scharf ’s
fanciful customized cars and installations. Ann Magnuson reminisces about
Scharf ’s happenings in the East Village and the club scene.
Richard Marshall is an independent curator, consultant, and art historian
based in New York. Between 1975 and 1993 he was a curator at the Whitney
Museum of American Art, New York. Carlo McCormick is senior editor at
Paper magazine in New York. Ann Magnuson is an actress and performance artist living in Los Angeles.
Abstract America
THE SAATCHI GALLERY
Coinciding with the opening of London’s Saatchi Gallery, this is the most
authoritative and comprehensive survey of new American abstract painting.
A radical new generation of American abstract painters has emerged in the
twenty-first century. Whereas their predecessors advanced abstraction in
the shadow of the Cold War, this new generation arose at the cusp of the
transition to the digital era and is marked by the traumatic events
surrounding 9/11 and its ongoing social and political aftermath.

In these shifting times the artist’s alter ego might well be the DJ—brushstrokes are replaced by “riffs” while “old school” palettes are discarded for
“Teletubby purple” or “bubble gum pink”. This is the age of “the remix”
where raw material is downloaded and “Photoshopped”. Contemporary
artists have irony at their disposal and switch to tie-dye aesthetics or psychedelia as fast as they can quote Malevich.
This next wave is thrilling. Painted loops, reminiscent of Jackson Pollock, are
revealed to be motorcycle skid marks—bringing new meaning to Abstract
Expressionism. Even though traditions are “deconstructed” and paintings can
echo “grunge”, historical continuity remains. As Max Henry writes in his introduction, “The American Dream does not exist any more.It is itself an abstraction.”
Abstract America is being published in conjunction with the opening of one
of today’s most important institutions collecting and exhibiting contemporary art—the new Saatchi Gallery in London.

Joan Crawford
THE ENDURING STAR
PETER COWIE
FOREWORD BY MICK LASALLE
EPILOGUE BY GEORGE CUKOR
A lavish photography collection that rediscovers
the glamour of the original Hollywood goddess—
sure to become the definitive portrait of one of
our greatest moviestars.
Joan Crawford’s classic beauty, dazzling confidence,
and sheer toughness made her the very definition of a
star; her formidable talent won her an Oscar for Mildred
Pierce and shines through in other classics such as
Grand Hotel and The Women. Focusing on the often
overlooked first half of her career, this is the first visual
book to reclaim her place in the canon of glamour.
Crawford pioneered a new depth that had not been
seen before in roles for women. Her domineering
charisma gave audiences a new kind of heroine,
laying the path for today’s actresses from Meryl
Streep to Cate Blanchett. Women—and many men—
identified with her in ways they never had before.
Drawing from archives around the world and
including more than a hundred photos unseen in the
past fifty years, Joan Crawford is sure to reintroduce
fans to this ultimate Hollywood legend.
“She was the perfect image of a movie star . . . You
could photograph her from any angle, and the face
moved beautifully.”

Silhouette
THE ART OF THE SHADOW
EMMA RUTHERFORD
The first illustrated history of the art of the
silhouette, from its origins as an eighteenthcentury parlor hobby to its powerful presence
in contemporary art and design.
Elegant and enigmatic, the silhouette is the simplest
of art forms—but that simplicity belies a rich and
varied past. In this first major work on the art of the
silhouette, art historian Emma Rutherford draws
from dozens of American and European sources to
create a fascinating history of the craft.
This intriguing and influential art form began as a
fashionable distraction in the eighteenth century—a
creative pastime for voguish amateurs and a precursor
to the daguerreotype—became a respected form of
portraiture in the nineteenth century, and has seen a
resurgence in contemporary art and graphic design in
the work of such artists as Kara Walker, Tord Boontje,
and Ryan McGinness.
The original silhouette practitioners artfully captured
their times, shedding light on the genteel drawing
rooms of eighteenth-century society, the lives of slaves
and free men in nineteenth-century America, and the
dynamics and stereotypes of contemporary culture.
The silhouette has transcended social and historical
boundaries to leave an iconographic legacy of
forgotten fashions, creative childhoods, and of daily
lives that would otherwise be lost forever, making it an
art form of enduring interest.
Emma Rutherford is an art historian who has specialized in silhouettes and portrait miniatures for fifteen
years. Formerly a director of the silhouettes and portrait
miniatures department at Bonhams Auctioneers, she
has also worked at the Victoria and Albert Museum and
Phillips Auctioneers in London. She lectures and writes
frequently on the subject.

Tracey Emin:
A Thousand Drawings
TRACEY EMIN
The definitive collection of the drawings
and monoprints of one of the leading British
contemporary artists of her generation.
Tracey Emin has stirred controversy as well as
acclaim since she rose to fame as the most highly
publicized of the infamous Young British Artists.
Though denounced by conservative critics at the
outset, Emin’s work has attracted serious critical
attention since the early 1990s for being consistently
engaging, original, and startlingly direct. Her work
has succeeded over the years in many media—from
films to appliqués, embroideries, and installations—
but it is in her works on paper that the honesty and
frankness that have come to characterize her work
are most fully realized.
Edited by the artist herself from an archive of work
stretching back before the beginnings of her career in
the late 1980s, A Thousand Drawings is at once a
collection of Emin’s works on paper, an exposé of
her life as an artist, and a collectible artifact in itself.
Many of these works on paper shed light on wellknown multimedia pieces, previously studied in
Works 1963–2006, published by Rizzoli in 2006.
Stripped of the distractions of form and context,
her bare and enigmatic drawings are presented on
bible-thin paper in a uniquely beautiful slipcased
volume, with an introduction by the artist. From
considered self-portraits to pen-and-ink drawings
and informal studies on lined notebook paper, this
remarkable collection is as much a catalogue of
Emin’s preoccupations as it is a monument to her
raw and evocative talents as an artist.
Tracey Emin was born in London in 1963. Nominated
for the Turner Prize in 1999 and chosen to represent
Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, Emin is also
a member of the Royal Academy of Arts. The author of
several books, including Strangeland, her memoir, she
contributes regularly to The Independent newspaper and
lives and works in London.

Valentina
AMERICAN COUTURE AND THE
CULT OF CELEBRITY
KOHLE YOHANNAN
INTRODUCTION BY HAROLD KODA
A rediscovery of the once-legendary American
couturier Valentina Schlee, one of the most
important designers of the twentieth century.
Valentina was the twentieth century’s first American fashion designer celebrity, working and
living on equal social footing with the clientele
she dressed (Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson,
Katharine Hepburn, Millicent Rogers, and
Audrey Hepburn, among others). One of the few
designers who proved that America could live
without the Parisian haute couture, her career is
a much needed missing link in the history of
American fashion.
Beyond merely turning out show-stopping evening
gowns, Valentina’s exotic beauty, dramatic personality, and incomparable style earned her a
legendary reputation. Kohle Yohannan explores
the carefully constructed persona and lore of this
designer who helped define American Couture.
Published in association with the Museum of the
City of New York’s exhibition Valentina: New York
Couture and the Cult of Celebrity, this book
includes photographs, never-before-seen personal
ephemera, sketches, and original platinum prints
from master photographers such as Cecil Beaton,
Horst P. Horst, and George Hoyningen-Huene.
Photography: John Rawlings
Kohle Yohannan is an art and design historian,
and the author of several books. Harold Koda is
curator-in-charge of the Costume Institute at the

The Cultivated Life:
Illustrations by Jean-Philippe Delhomme
JEAN-PHILIPPE DELHOMME
A witty look at the very chic and jocular musings of a master fashion
and lifestyle illustrator.
The stroke of his brush is almost as sharp as his wit, but the result is always
playful and droll. Jean-Philippe Delhomme is a prolific name in the world
of illustration and often described as the Parisian answer to the smart
cartoons that appear in the New Yorker. His instantly recognizable style is
world-renowned in a range of media—from chic television ads for Saab to
the boutique campaigns for Barneys and fashion advertising.
“We were skeptical at first, but the Damien Hirst
turned out to be perfect for the dining area.”

The Cultivated Life, the first-ever English compilation of Delhomme’s
work, is a celebration of his gently satiric musings of “first-world” problems.
Drawing from the trials and tribulations of the contemporary lifestyle—the
design addict cautiously circling the latest modern furniture piece in an
upscale boutique, or finding the perfect outfit to convey one’s current
philosophy—Delhomme chicly illustrates the humor in all that surrounds
him. This monograph includes over 100 illustrations and an insightful essay
about Delhomme’s work.
Jean-Philippe Delhomme has created volumes of illustrated work and
animated television commercials. He has also written a children’s book,
Visit to Another Planet, as well as two fully illustrated novels.

Chris Ofili
DAVID ADJAYE, THELMA GOLDEN,
AND OKWUI ENWEZOR
A beautifully designed monograph surveying
the career of internationally renowned artist
Chris Ofili.
The recipient of the 1998 Turner Prize, Chris Ofili
is one of the most important artists working today.
Ofili began to garner attention in the mid-1990s
with his intricately constructed works that combine
beadlike dots of paint, collaged images from the
popular media, and natural, if unusual, materials
such as elephant dung. Ofili created a unique
iconography that married African artistic and ritual
practices with Western art-historical traditions and
contemporary hip-hop culture. Throughout his
career, Ofili has explored themes of race, birth,
death, seduction, and salvation on both a religious
and a personal level. His most recent body of work
employs Trinidadian myth and folk traditions to
reinterpret age-old Christian beliefs.
This extraordinary book is the first to examine the
full scope of Ofili’s artistic development over the
last two decades. Extending beyond his painterly
practice, the book surveys Ofili’s work in watercolor, graphite drawing, and sculpture. Literary
and historical parallels from contributors David
Adjaye, Thelma Golden, and Okwui Enwezor
explore the ways through which the artist has
grasped his times with a palpable sense of history
and intellectual curiosity.
Chris Ofili was born in 1968 in Manchester, England, and
lives and works in Trinidad. He studied at the Chelsea
School of Art, London, and the Royal College of Art,
London. Devil’sPie, the artist’s debut solo exhibition at David
Zwirner, New York, in 2007, was the first to unite Ofili’s work
in painting, sculpture, printmaking, and graphite drawing.
David Adjaye is an award-winning architect and founder
of Adjaye/Associates. Thelma Golden is chief curator at
the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York. Okwui Enwezor
is dean of academic affairs and senior vice president at
the San Francisco Art Institute.

Shigeru Ban
PAPER ARCHITECTURE
SHIGERU BAN
This large-format monograph is the first to chronicle
exclusively Shigeru Ban’s explorations in “paper
architecture.” Informed by a thorough and early
interest in sustainable forms, his innovative practice
pioneered the use of paper as a structural element in
buildings. This book features permanent and temporary structures, ranging from one-off museums and
exhibition spaces to emergency structures for
communities displaced by natural and man-made
catastrophes.
The forty projects featured in the book showcase the
variety of possible applications for paper and its
derivative forms (cardboard, fiber-based composites). As flexible as it is adaptable, when used in
tandem with other locally sourced building materials or
post-industrial surplus (maritime shipping containers),
Ban’s singular use of paper knowingly references
paper’s traditional uses in vernacular Japanese buildings, and advances modern construction technology,
reducing its environmental impact.
A number of prominent works from the last decade
are featured, including the Nomadic Museums built
in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, his work for
the Centre Pompidou in Paris and Metz, the Papertainer Museum in Seoul, his pavilions for design and
luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Artek, as well as
a number of landmark residences in Japan, Europe,
and North America. Of particular focus will be Ban’s
humanitarian work. Documented in a book for the
first time are all the relief projects his studio has
undertaken in the last two decades for the U.N. High
Commission on Refugees. These include housing for
tsunami victims in Sri Lanka and earthquake victims
in Turkey and Japan, and emergency shelter for warravaged communities in Rwanda and the Congo.
Shigeru Ban established his own practice in 1985, and
now has offices in Tokyo, Paris, and New York. The recipient
of numerous awards for his architecture, Ban is a professor
at Keio University and has taught at Columbia University.

Punk Couture
CLOTHES FOR HEROES
PUNKPISTOL
WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM
MALCOLM MCLAREN, VIVIENNE WESTWOOD,
BERNIE RHODES, JORDAN, JON SAVAGE,
GLEN MATLOCK, AND STEVE SEVERIN
The definitive book on the originators and
trendsetters of punk fashion.
Between 1971 and 1979, Malcolm McLaren and
Vivienne Westwood ran a clothes shop at 430 Kings
Road in Chelsea that would come to influence and
reflect everything we think of as punk. Westwood was
an innovative and subversive designer, McLaren an
inspiring and unflagging impresario,and together they
dictated the tastes and defined the aesthetics of punk
youth. Over the course of the decade, their shop
became a focal point of the burgeoning culture, and
their clothes became indispensable and inimitable
monuments to punk ideals. Printing Situationist texts
on their fabrics, misappropriating iconic logos, openly
asserting an aggressive sexuality, and invoking
elements of the graphic style for which Jamie Reid
would later be celebrated.
In Punk Couture: Clothes for Heroes, collector and
dealer PunkPistol presents a definitive and unrivaled
catalog of more than 300 rare and original pieces that
illustrate the catalytic influence of McLaren and
Westwood’s designs, from bondage-wear to tartan,
from Sex Pistols T-shirts to Mickey Mouse dresses,
and from studded leathers to swastika prints. With
an introduction by Malcolm McLaren, an interview
with Vivienne Westwood, and further contributions
from Jon Savage, Bernie Rhodes, and Glen Matlock
of the Sex Pistols, among others.
PunkPistol is a collector and exclusive dealer of
rare and vintage clothing. He has curated exhibitions of his own and other collections in London,
New York, and Tokyo, and was a major contributor
to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s AngloMania
exhibit. He lives in London.

Lucian Freud
On Paper
ESSAY BY RICHARD CALVOCORESSI
INTRODUCTION BY SEBASTIAN SMEE
The definitive survey of drawings, etchings, and
other works on paper by Lucian Freud.
Lucian Freud is widely regarded as one of the
greatest living artists, and drawing is fundamental to
his development as an artist and to how he sees.
Speaking recently about his early years he claimed,
“I would have thought I did 200 drawings to every
painting in those early days. I very much prided
myself on my drawing.”
Drawing became an important part of Freud’s life
from the start and a famous sketchbook, The
Freud-Schuster Book, has survived dating back to
January 1940, when Freud was in Snowdonia
with Stephen Spender, as do sketches from
Freud’s life as a merchant seaman on a cargo
vessel in the Atlantic in 1941. His then surreal
style lent itself to illustrations and his fascination
with animals, birds, and fish was revealed in the
famous line drawings he produced for Nicholas
Moore’s book of poems, The Glass Tower (1944).
This volume charts Freud’s work on paper,
including the etchings, over his entire career. It
includes the formative early work, the sketches in
preparation for painting his masterpiece, Large
Interior W11 (after Watteau) (1983), the sketches
of the completed painting in the studio and the
astonishing later studies of his mother. The book
ends with the etchings of recent years. The works
on paper are an extraordinary achievement,
providing even deeper insights into the work of
perhaps the greatest figurative artist of our time.

INTERIOR WORLDS
TOM DIXON
Lavishly illustrated with sketches, concept renderings and photographs,
this book is a window on what inspires one of the world’s leading figures
in product design.
Tom Dixon is one of the world’s leading designers, and this book explores his
very personal approach to product design. He began designing furniture twenty
years ago after a motorcycle accident, relying on his welding skills to create a
variety of ornamental and functional objects including the famous S-Bend chair
which was then marketed by Cappellini, the Italian furniture maker. Among his
most notable designs are the Mirrorball light and Soft System couch.

The book collects images of objects and other sources that have inspired
his work juxtaposed with his designs, offering a window into his interior
world. The book also delves into such currently hot design topics as materials and processes, and it surveys design history as well as looking into
the future of product design.
The book’s exterior case was personally designed by Tom Dixon and
features a number of custom printing effects that make it a must-have objet.
Tom Dixon is a leading British product designer. Best known as the creative
director of Conran and Habitat, he is currently the head designer of Artek, the
leading Finnish company founded by modernist icon Alvar Aalto.

The work of James Cutler and Bruce Anderson of Cutler Anderson
Architects reveals a unique approach to sustainable architecture:
encouraging environmental stewardship through design that heightens
the experience of the natural world. Each project begins with a careful
investigation of site and material and culminates in a well-crafted
building that fits seamlessly into the landscape.
This monograph examines Cutler Anderson’s practice as it expands
beyond their widely admired houses to include public buildings.
Among the thirty award-winning projects featured are innovative
structures—residential as well as institutional—that show the firm’s
refinement of structural expressiveness, articulated details, and multilayered transitions. Stunning photographs are supplemented by
complete project documentation, including sketches, diagrams, presentation drawings, working drawings, and models.
Oscar Riera Ojeda is the creator of several books including Architecture in Detail, Art and Architecture, and Contemporary World.

Oscar Niemeyer
Buildings
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALAN WEINTRAUB
TEXT BY ALAN HESS
This lavishly illustrated volume documents
the institutional and civic buildings of a
modern master.
At age 100, Oscar Niemeyer is universally acknowledged as a master of form, color, and light—the last
living Modern master. Niemeyer is known primarily
for his large-scale institutional and civic designs
throughout Brazil and Europe—daringly conceptual
works that challenged twentieth-century orthodoxy
about Modernism, materials, and structure. This
comprehensive book, a companion to Rizzoli’s Oscar
Niemeyer Houses, presents a reevaluation of his
greatest buildings, in all new color photography
specially commissioned for this book. Featured are
the architect’s most seminal work, including:
Ministry of Education and Health, Rio de Janeiro;
Brasilia; New Pampulha Yacht Club, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Mondadori Headquarters, Milan; Le
Havre Central Cultural Center, France; Niteroi
Museum of Contemporary Art, Brazil; and the
Oscar Niemeyer Museum.
A periodic resident of Rio de Janeiro, photographer
Alan Weintraub has been granted unprecedented
access to these remarkable structures—from Brazil
to North Africa to Italy. As a result, Oscar Niemeyer
Buildings reveals the master’s brilliant artistry, and
his eloquent, sinuous, utterly livable Modernism.
Alan Weintraub is a widely published architectural photographer whose recent books include
Frank Lloyd Wright: Mid-Century Modern, Oscar Niemeyer
Houses, and Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses. Alan
Hess , an architect and critic for the San Jose Mercury
News, is author of Frank Lloyd Wright: Mid-Century
Modern, O scar Niemeyer Houses, and Frank Lloyd
Wright: The Houses, among others.

Tom Sachs: Space Program
INTERVIEW WITH BUZZ ALDRIN, TOM SACHS, AND LOUISE NERI
CONTRIBUTION BY ARTHUR C. DANTO
A complete survey of Sachs’s Space Program, a re-creation of the
NASA moon landing done in the artist’s DIY aesthetic.
For over a decade, Sachs has pondered the technical ingenuity and romance
with the unknown that brought America the Apollo program. This publication documents the culmination of his research: the realization of his own
life-size Space Program, comprised of three main sculptural elements (Lunar
Module, Mission Control, and Space Suit) and a Flight Plan, all put to use
during a live demonstration of a lunar landing. In his exuberant manufacture
of objects and scenarios, Sachs asks barbed questions of modern creativity
that relate to conception, production, consumption, and circulation.

Casa No Name
DEBORAH TURBEVILLE
Casa No Name is internationally acclaimed
photographer Deborah Turbeville’s soulful
evocation of her hauntingly beautiful house
in Mexico.
In the tradition of Kahlo and Allende, Turbeville’s
brilliantly stylish portrait of her Mexican house
evokes both her vivid imagination and the mystique
of Mexico. High-ceilinged rooms surround a
central courtyard that is lined with faded frescoes of
biblical scenes. The glimmer and shafts of diffused
light that stream into the courtyards and curtained
rooms add to the romantic atmosphere—one feels
as though they have entered into a quintessential
Turbeville photograph. Turbeville has captured
the spiritual nature of Mexican culture by incorporating into candlelit interiors such traditional
religious artifacts as colorful painted tin retablos,
hand-carved saints, wooden tableau boxes, and a
central wooden figure of the local Virgin Saint
Maria Candelaria: aged objets that are handmade,
tell stories, and are arranged in artful vignettes.
Casa No Name speaks of magic realism and
beckons the reader into the private world of this
visionary artist. Turbeville’s diaristic presentation of her home in the central highlands of
Mexico is a welcome addition to her rich oeuvre
and an inspiration for anyone interested in the
soul and style of Mexico.
Deborah Turbeville ’s work first appeared in
Vogue in the 1970s. Since then, she has been a
dominant figure in contemporary photography. Her
work continues to be exhibited around the world
and is published regularly in many international
magazines.

The Ultimate Insider’s Guide
to Cinema’s Hidden Gems
ROBERT KAHN, SERIES EDITOR
From the creators of the elegant City Secrets
guides comes this unique collection, in which
cinema’s most revered figures share favorite
movies, performances, and moments in film.
Called “the best literary gift to travelers since the
Baedeker and Henry James” (Financial Times), City
Secrets guides are charming travelers’ companions to
the world’s most fascinating cities. In New York,
London, Rome, Florence, and Venice, City Secrets
offers reflections and discoveries from the authors,
artists, and historians who know each city best.
Excerpt:
Dodsworth
1936, William Wyler
I’ve always felt that Dodsworth was one of the finest American movies. William Wyler’s simplicity, Sidney Howard’s
language, and, above all, Walter Huston’s and Mary Astor’s
performances result in one of the most mature and
powerful movies in my memory. The glory and debasement that love can bring into one’s life have never been
explored so tellingly. In fact, because of our sentimentality
about love, rarely do we consider its destructive power.
Dodsworth plunges into this world unhesitatingly with art
and power and subtlety. In my view, a great film.
Sidney Lumet
Director
Living On Velvet
1935, Frank Borzage
In most films of the period, that idea is a cliché, a device, or
a pretext for character exploration (as in a Hawks picture).
But in a Borzage movie, love really does conquer all, and it
really does make the world go round. When Borzage shows
two people in love—Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor in
Seventh Heaven, Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes in A
Farewell to Arms, Spencer Tracy and Joan Crawford in
Mannequin, Dane Clark and Gail Russell in Moonrise—you
feel as if you’ve entered a sacred realm. He lets the action
playout in lovers’ time, and every little physical and
emotional detail feels precious. Borzage’s cinema reminds
me of Renaissance painting: everything feels rounded,
perfectly aligned—sanctified.
Martin Scorsese
Director
Movies takes this intimate, insider’s approach to the
arts, featuring brief essays and recommendations by
esteemed figures in the film industry—including
actors, directors, producers, and critics—and other
writers and figures in the arts. Some have written
on a film, or an aspect of a film (a performance,
style, or theme) that they feel is overlooked or
underappreciated. Others have chosen a wellknown film for which they can offer personal
insights or behind-the-scenes observations.
Contributors include Woody Allen, Martin
Scorsese, Wes Anderson, Ken Auletta, Milos
Forman, Anjelica Huston, Barbara Kopple, Sidney
Lumet, Simon Schama, and many others.
A portion of the proceeds from this book will be
donated to The Film Foundation, an organization
founded by Martin Scorsese that raises funds for
film restoration and conversation, and promotes
awareness about motion picture history.
Robert Kahn is an architect in private practice. His
work includes academic, institutional, residential,

Pop-Up Book
of Ships
DAVID HAWCOCK AND ERIC KENTLEY
An engaging, interactive pop-up book surveying
the history of maritime invention and exploration.
Pop-Up Book of Ships is a dramatic pop-up journey
into the world’s maritime past, presenting various
maritime cultural innovations.From the early explorers
such as the Santa Maria to the famous Mayflower;
from marauding pirate ships to frigates like the
Bonhomme Richard and the U.S.S. Constitution;
from a quaint Mississippi riverboat to the luxurious
S.S. Normandie ocean liner and a superbly crafted
America’s Cup yacht; from impressive aircraft
carriers such as the Intrepid or Enterprise to the
most advanced nuclear submarine. Readers will
learn about the H.M.S. Victory, labeled a “first-rate
ship,” a designation that was used as early as the
eighteenth century by the British Royal Navy for its
largest ships mounting 100 guns or more; or that
unlike a traditional square-rigged ship, the sails of a
Chinese junk can be moved toward the long axis of
the ship, allowing a junk to sail into the wind, to
name only two. Pop-Up Book of Ships presents a
dynamic history of some of the world’s greatest
maritime adventures. Colorful, informative, and
fun, Pop-Up Book of Ships adeptly showcases
maritime adventure and lure of the sea, and is a
fascinating book for sailors and seamen of all ages.
David Hawcock is a skilled paper engineer devoted
to the design and production of highly-creative and
original pop-up art and three-dimensional paperengineered concepts. He is the paper engineer for
Universe’s New York Pop-Up Book, The California Pop-Up
Book, The Ancient Egypt Pop-Up Book, and Pompeii PopUp Book. Eric Kentley is a freelance writer and
has a PhD in social anthropology. He joined the
National Maritime Museum in 1981, and during his
sixteen-year tenure held a number of posts including
ethnographer, head of ship technology, corporate
planner, and head of exhibitions.

be the key to perfecting the design. Here, she focuses
on the wedding cake and offers inspiration and guidance to brides-to-be as well as to caterers, chefs, and
wedding planners.
The cutting of the cake is one of the most cherished
memories of any wedding. This portfolio of Mich
Turner’s stunning cake designs is organized thematically, from simple sunny cakes redolent of a springtime
garden wedding to opulent more autumnal chocolate
multi-tiered sculptural cakes.
Mich also shows how to present the cake to create
drama and a real sense of occasion, including advice
on every detail, from the type of tablecloth to use and
how best to display candles, flowers, and ribbon.
Mich Turner’s wedding cakes are regularly featured
in Brides, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar, and this
book amply demonstrates how to achieve perfection.
In 1999, Mich Turner founded The Little Venice
Cake Company as a second career after many years
as a buyer at London’s high fashion Harvey Nichols.
She has designed wedding cakes for the Royal
Family, Madonna, David Beckham, Pierce Brosnan,
Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Paul McCartney, among
many others. She is the author of Spectacular Cakes
(winner of the Best Dessert Book in the World Cookbook Awards of 2005) and most recently Party Cakes.

This book is a visual foray into Japan’s popular and influential GothicLolita and Gothic Punk subculture. It showcases a creative lifestyle synthesized from a remix of Victoriana, the macabre, anime, and theatricality,
drawing on the early punks of the ’70s and ’80s and the club kids of the
’90s. Japanese Goth blends disparate elements of global pop culture into
something fun, stylish, and unique—part Marilyn Manson, part Hello
Kitty. It attracts established figures from Tokyo’s trendsetting fashion, art,
and design scenes, and has inspired the next generation of designers,
tastemakers, and fashionistas. Featured here are key designers, artists, and
personalities including Mana & Gackt, Kokusyoku Sumire, Ayako-S, Koitsukihime, Gloomy Bear, and many others.

The House Dress
A STORY OF EROTICISM AND FASHION
ELDA DANESE
After fashion designers like Emilio Pucci and Roberta di Camerino gave
their own interpretation of the house dress, the garment has become the
distinguishing personal style of Diane von Furstenberg, finding a major
place in her work.
The idea of the house dress is closely related to the concept of housework
and domesticity. At the same time, it is distinguished by not being a uniform,
thanks in particular to the decorations of the fabric. Starting in the late
1940s, a whole series of movies contributed to its image through a gallery of
remarkable female characters, the latest of which is Pedro Almodovar’s film
Volver, with a female lead who is equipped with a wardrobe full of beautifully ornamented house dresses.

After taking into account its distinctive and expressive features, author Elda

Barons of Business
THEIR LUXURIOUS HOMES
AND LIFESTYLES
WILLIAM G. SCHELLER
From Carnegie and Rockefeller to Turner and
Gates, this volume celebrates the history of forty
of America’s true barons of business and opens
the door onto their private palaces.
Skillfully written and richly illustrated, Barons of
Business looks into the lives and fortunes of the
ambitious individuals like Calvin Coolidge, who
believed that “the business of America is business.”
Beginning with the colonial era, when trade was
overtaking landholding as a way to get rich, Barons
of Business follows the restless careers of our most
brilliant and driven merchants, industrialists, and
financiers as they master a new economic world of
textiles, railroads, oil, and steel. With the twentieth
century comes fresh opportunities: automobiles,
motion pictures, broadcasting, publishing and
retailing on a massive scale, and the vast horizon of
high technology.
Meet John Hancock, colonial Boston’s “limousine
liberal,” and learn how John Jacob Astor parlayed
success in the fur trade into status as Manhattan’s
master landlord and richest man in America—only
to be eclipsed by Cornelius Vanderbilt, who leaped
like a nimble Croesus from steamships to railroads.
Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford are here, as well as
J.P. Morgan, William Randolph Hearst, Howard
Hughes, Malcolm Forbes, Warren Buffett, Steven
Spielberg, and Bill Gates.
Barons of Business brings together more than forty
individuals for whom the business of America was
indeed business—and who excelled at it beyond
anyone’s dreams. Except, perhaps, their own.
William G. Scheller is the author or co-author
of more than twenty books, including several
written in connection with the National Geographic
Society. He has written extensively on railroad
history, the environment, and alternative energy.

Tattoos have gone from badges of rebellion to fashion statements fully
absorbed into mainstream culture. They are enjoying a renaissance, with
graphic designers and artists creating specialty tattoos for a growing audience,
unleashing a revival of interest in the bawdy vintage tattoo. Old school tattoos
are being rediscovered (sometimes ironically, sometimes not) by a new generation. Originally embraced by rebels, sailors, and gangsters, these tattoos—
broken hearts, naked girls, floral motifs, and maritime emblems—are now
showing up on the fashion runway and in music videos.
This book chronicles vintage motifs in thematic chapters interspersed with
profiles of influential tattoo artists and their distinctive designs: Sailor Jerry
Collins, Don Ed Hardy (“the Godfather of Tattoos”), Mike “Rollo Banks”
Malone, Bert Grimm, Japan’s Horiyoshi III, and Shanghai’s Pinky Yun.
Carol Clerk is a veteran music writer and author who has written for a number
of underground newspapers and ‘zines like the weekly Melody Maker.

RARE VINTAGE MALE NUDES
REED MASSENGILL
FOREWORD BY VICTOR SKREBNESKI
This stunning collection of rarely seen male nudes brings to light a
long-hidden chapter in the story of gay erotic photography.
In the pre-Stonewall era before the advent of the gay rights movement, male
nude photography was kept underground. Photographers feared police
confiscation, harassment, and worse. This volume uncovers the work of ten
different photographers produced during this suppressive period—images
hidden away for a generation in private collections and closed archives. The
majority have never been published.

New York
A PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUM
COMPILED BY GABRIELA KOGAN
PHOTOGRAPHS BY
MANY LOVERS OF THE CITY
Like a love letter to the city, it is the perfect gift
or impulse buy for anyone who loves New York—
whether a current resident of the five boroughs or
an “expat” yearning for home.
This keepsake album is the freshest collection of
images published in many years savoring the many
facets of New York. Some intimate and detailed,
others wide-angled, these photographs explore the
grand chaotic serendipity that makes New York so
vibrant. Tourists and visitors often comment on
this remarkable energy—people feel more alive in
New York, especially when they are new to it—and
this is the perfect keepsake album that captures
(and re-captures) that initial dumbstruck awe and
rush of adrenaline that everyone has felt here.
The photographs also explore the contrasts that
define New York—the highs and the lows, the grand
and the ordinary. From penthouses to piers and from
bucolic Central Park to carnivalesque Coney Island,
the book explores New York’s amazing contradictions that somehow come together in a unique
masterpiece. From the heights of the Empire State to
the nether realms of the subway, from the burlesque
zaniness of Gay Pride to the busting Chinatown
streets beneath the bridge, from luxury boutiques to
colorful bodegas, and from Lincoln Center to the
street corner chanteuse—the contrasts of the city are
captured in this album to form a coherent picture of
the genius and excitement that is the city.

designer. Since 2001, she has been writing for newspapers and travel magazines .

Spectacular Ireland
PETER HARBISON
For the armchair traveler or readers wishing to
connect to their Irish heritage, this volume brings
together all that is truly spectacular about the
Emerald Isle.
Through words and stunning images, the Emerald
Isle is brought to life in Spectacular Ireland, a
magnificent collection of 140 color photographs
by some of Ireland’s best landscape photographers
and elegant text by Peter Harbison, one of
Ireland’s most distinguished voices and renowned
archaeologists. This handsome volume celebrates
Ireland, a small island country of extraordinary
beauty, fascinating history, and evocative myths,
where old and new thrive together. From ancient
standing stones and breathtaking pastoral scenes
to energetic cities of architectural sophistication,
we take a photographic tour reflecting the soul of
this spectacular island. A brief history of Ireland
puts the images into historical context: from
ancient Celtic dolmens to abbeys and castles, from
lush pastures, fields of heather, and seaside cliffs to
formal gardens, and from ancient villages to the
rush of contemporary Dublin.
But Ireland is much more than beautiful landscape.
Much of the magic of the country lies in the people
themselves; these are a people who cherish their
land. It is a rich heritage—of history, magic, and
mystery—that makes Ireland a favorite destination
for tourists and armchair travelers alike.
Peter Harbison is the author of many books about
Ireland, and is a former editor of Ireland of the Welcomes,
an internationally acclaimed magazine devoted to
aspects of Irish culture published in Dublin. He lives in
Dublin with his wife and three children.

these projects and much more in Mrs. Grossman’s
Sticker Magic.
Start with simple two-sticker combinations and
work your way to advanced compositions. Learn
to create scenes using basic design principles.
Create dramatic and exciting three-dimensional
artwork by raising (“popping”) stickers with foam
mounting tape.
From the rolls of simple red heart stickers to the
textured, color-coordinated products offered today,
Mrs. Grossman’s Paper Company—the largest
designer and manufacturer of decorative stickers in
the country—has led the way. Included is a pocket

Winslow Homer
Watercolors
NICOLAI CIKOVSKY, JR.
One hundred of Winslow Homer’s masterpieces
reproduced on special watercolor paper.
From the beautiful mountains and streams of
Canada and the Adirondacks to the sandy beaches
of New England, from the picturesque coasts of
English villages to the sunny shores of the Bahamas,
Winslow Homer captured in his paintings the true
magnificence of nature. For more than thirty years
between 1873 and 1905, Winslow Homer turned to
watercolors during his working vacations, concentrating on capturing the spirit of each place he
visited with both spontaneity and intensity.
Many of Homer’s most beautiful paintings focus on
the interaction between humans and nature—a
hunter carrying a deer on his shoulders, a man
fishing from a small canoe, a girl lounging and
reading in the grass, a young man driving cattle, a
fisherman’s family anxiously watching for his
return. It is Homer’s understanding of this important relationship between humans and nature that
makes his paintings so intriguing.
Winslow Homer Watercolors reproduces the best of
these paintings. Large color plates allow these
reproductions to be appreciated almost as much as
the originals. Accompanying the more than 100
color plates is an eloquent introduction and detailed
chronology of Homer’s life and artistic development. This stunning volume allows one to experience nature through the eyes of one of America’s
greatest painters. It is a vision of nature from a
century ago that is still appreciated today.
Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr ., is senior curator emeritus, American and British Painting, National
Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. He has written
numerous books, articles, and exhibition catalogues on Winslow Homer.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
FLAMINIO GUALDONI
This lavishly illustrated and super-condensed
history of the major movements of twentiethcentury art provides an accessible entree into
contemporary art for everyone.
This book on the art of the twentieth century is
published almost ten years after the end of the socalled “short century”—which, in terms of art, was
anything but short—and is a valuable tool for
reflection. The author has placed a series of works
in sequence, accompanied by easy to understand
critical commentary.
With concise introductions devoted to every significant art movement and more than 400 color illustrations, this volume enables the reader to become
familiar with the fascinating and complex world of
contemporary art from futurism to pop-art, dada to
conceptual. Presented are some of the most famous
artists of the twentieth-century—from Arp to Brancusi, Bacon to Basquiat, Gris to Koons, Gaudi to
Schnabel, Warhol to Grant Wood—and their
greatest masterworks—never before have they been
so accessible as they are in this format.

THE HIDDEN TECHNIQUES OF
THE IMPRESSIONISTS
IRIS SCHAEFER, KATJA LEWERENTZ,
AND CAROLINE VON SAINT-GEORGE
A book that provides an overview of the
impressionist and postimpressionist techniques
and invites readers to look at paintings using
modern technology.
Impressionism has probably been given the most
attention of any style of art in the last decades.
Although it seems as if everything has already
been said and shown, this book pursues a new,
original path.
This book writes the history of impressionism and
postimpressionism from a technological perspective—using high-powered microscopes, under infrared and ultra-violet light—that brings the readers
closer to the artists. It examines some of the most
famous canvases of the last century, looking for clues
as to where the paintings were made, under what
conditions and, in some cases, by whom.
This book also explores aspects such as how the
artists conveyed the quality of light at different times
of the day and which conditions inspired them the
most, what materials and work methods they used,
where the paintings were created as well as their
history. The authors have succeeded in conveying
their insights in a highly readable way giving us the
feeling of being pulled into the daily world of the
these painters.
Iris Schaefer is head of conservation at the
Wallraf-Richartz-Museum Fondation Corboud,
Cologne. Katja Lewerentz is a member of the
academic staff at the CICS (Cologne Institute of
Conservation Science), at the University of

Made in Cassina
EDITED BY GIAMPIERO BOSONI
The history of the famous Italian furniture design
company Cassina, whose products have been an
innovative and brilliant expression of Italian
design for decades.
In celebration of Cassina’s 80th anniversary, this
book seeks to avoid the rigid rules of simple historical reconstruction. This publication was conceived
to form part of a complete and valuable historical
document of great interest to students and experts
of international design.
The core and most substantial part of the book is
the section dedicated to those important international designers who have had the strongest influence on the evolution of Cassina, including Gio
Ponti, Vico Magistretti, Gaetano Pesce, Archizoom,
Afra and Tobia Scarpa, Andrea Branzi, and
Philippe Starck.
In the broad sections dedicated to the various
designers and their “visions” for Cassina, some of
the best-known products in the history of Italian
and international design are presented, often
through images unknown to the public. Some of the
company’s better known designs are out of production and for some time now have been highly sought
after in world auctions of major pieces of international design.
Giampiero Bosoni is professor of interior architecture and history of design at the Politecnico of
Milan. He is a contributor to leading architectural
and design journals and curator of exhibitions all
over the world.

Salvatore Ferragamo
EVOLVING LEGEND 1928–2008
EDITED BY STEFANIA RICCI
A fully illustrated monograph of a legendary
Italian “maison” which also serves as a journey
through the history of fashion.
The company Salvatore Ferragamo Italia S.p.A.,
founded in 1927 by designer Salvatore Ferragamo,
is a luxury brand with more than 450 stores in over
55 countries. It sells footwear, handbags and small
leather goods, scarves and ties, men’s and women’s
ready-to-wear, bijoux, watches, fragrances and
eyewear. Salvatore Ferragamo made the name
famous in California, first in Santa Barbara and then
in Hollywood, creating footwear for the most beautiful women in the world—the “divas” of emerging
American cinema.
This book is also the catalogue of an exhibition that
took place at the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art (29 March–7 May 2008) to celebrate
the eighty-year anniversary of the company. Photographs, sketches, and drawings explore design
processes and showcase shoes, handbags, and accessories—a magnificent selection of fashion works
embodying social and cultural changes over time.

the satirical, horrifying, and hallucinatory in such
works as Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a
Crucifixion (1944, Tate Gallery, London). His artwork
is known for its bold, austere, and often grotesque or

Lebbeus Woods
MICHELE PORCU
A monograph devoted to one of the most
interesting and provocative American architects
on the scene today.
Following studies in architecture at the University of
Illinois, Lebbeus Woods (b.1940) worked in the
studio of Eero Saarinen/Kevin Roche John
Dinkeloo Associates. After 1976, he abandoned the
profession to devote himself totally to theory and
experimental design. Following a cycle of utopian
and visionary projects prefiguring symbolic spaces
(Einstein Tomb, 1980) or non-localized new cities
(Centricity, 1987), since 1988 Woods has applied
his research to existing cities. Among these projects
included are: the cycle of “architecture and war” for
the reconstruction of Sarajevo and Bosnia
(1993/96—war in the traditional sense, between
men), and San Francisco Houses (1995/97—war
against natural forces). From the outset, what characterizes Lebbeus Woods is not just the radical and
experimental nature of his projects but also an
extraordinary capacity for draftsmanship and an
unceasing theoretical research, demonstrating a
profound interest toward the philosophical, psychoanalytical, and cybernetic.
Woods has received numerous awards and recognitions, such as the American Institute of Architects
Honors Award (1991) and the American Academy
of Arts and Letters Award for Architecture (2007).
His works may be found in public and private
collections, including those of MoMA and the
Whitney Museum of American Art in New York,
and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Michele Porcu, architect and critic, graduated in
the Faculty of Architecture, Politecnico of Milan in
1992, is professor at the Faculty of Design, Politecnico of Milan and at the Faculty of Exhibition
Design at NABA, Milan.

The History of
Qatari Architecture
IBRAHIM JAIDAH
MALIKA BOURENNANE
The first book that examines the geographical,
historical, and functional aspects of architecture
in Qatar.
Historically, in the old architecture of Qatar, the
urban development of cities and villages was based
on the creation of agglomerations of housing units.
These agglomerations were the essence of traditional
Qatari architecture which can be defined as architecture of social values, derived from a combination of
different factors such as religion, privacy, and the
extended family. After the discovery of oil, Qatar
became a wealthy country and saw the introduction
of a new modern language which did not reflect the
vernacular architecture.
The purpose of this book is to tell the history of
Qatari architecture through the description of old
cities and villages, public buildings and domestic
spaces declared as cultural heritage. Following a
multi-disciplinary approach that emphasizes
sociological aspects, it examines the architecture
of individual houses, and also structural materials
used for their construction, in addition to those
of palaces, funerary monuments, and mosques.
The drawings depict the best examples of Qatari
architecture. The text, easy and relatively
concise, is comprehensive and complete enough
even for students of architecture.
Ibrahim Jaidah is an architect who trained at the
University of Oklahoma and has worked for the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture.
Malika Bourennane , trained at the Royal Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and the
Built Environment, in Stockholm, is an architect
and a member of the International Architects,
Designers and Planners for Social Responsibility.

New Photography
in Italy
EDITED BY FRANCESCA MILA NEMNI
AND ANDREA COSSU
Each volume in The New Photography In ... series
is dedicated to emerging young photographers
from different countries throughout the world.
Photography is a fundamental element in our
knowledge of the world and in the exchange of
ideas between different cultures—sometimes very
remote from one another in distance and in time. In
recent years, images have invaded our world
making a much bigger contribution to planetwide
communication than words, creating contacts and
conveying information.
The editors of the second title of The New Photography In… series have chosen twenty-four of the
most interesting artists who best represent the main
directions that Italy’s photographic language has
taken in recent years. All of them are well-known
artists between the ages of thirty and forty and
show their work in important galleries throughout
the world. These include: Silvia Camporesi,
Martina Della Valle, Donatella Di Cicco, Amleto
Di Leo, Gianni Ferrero Merlino, Michela
Formenti, Eva Frapiccini, Linda Fregni Nagler,
Luigi Gariglio, Elena Givone, Alice Grassi, Emma
Innocenti, Francesco Jodice, Lorenzo Jucker,
Francesca Lazzaroni, Renato Leotta, Teodoro
Lupo, Tancredi Mangano, Brigitte Niedermayr,
Chiara Pirito, Moira Ricci, Francesca Rivetti, Elisa
Sighicelli, and Francesco Zucchetti.
Francesca Mila Nemni has a Masters degree in art
history from the University of Milan and a BA degree
in Photography. She has been a working photographer
for many years, as well as writing extensively in this
area for many contemporary art reviews. Andrea
Cossu graduated in the Science of Communication
at the University of Turin and studied photography at
the Instituto Europeo di Design. She works on many
exhibitions and book projects.

Capri by the Sea
PATRICK HOWLETT-MARTIN
A book of photographs that is also a guide and art
book that is as enjoyable to read as a novel.
A story of Capri told by someone who knows and
loves it deeply, Patrick Howlett-Martin has been
visiting the island since 1994 and describes it
through a mixture of documents, photographs,
reproductions of works of art, and curiosities.
The text is filled with erudite quotations and lines of
poetry, ranging from Pablo Neruda, whose exile on
the island was most famously depicted in the
popular film Il Postino to Tommaso Marinetti, the
founder of the futurists.
Capri by the Sea is a fascinating book that makes the
perfect gift for all those who are in love with the
Mediterranean and its history, or simply with nature
and beautiful things.
Patrick Howlett-Martin is a journalist, writer
and diplomat and, above all, an enthusiast of the
sea and diving. His love for Italy and his interest in
ancient Rome led him naturally to Capri, where he
has stayed every year, dividing his time between
exploring the island’s grottos and underwater caves.

China at the Court
of the Emperors
UNKNOWN MASTERPIECES
FROM HAN TRADITION TO
TANG ELEGANCE (25–907)
EDITED BY SABRINA RASTELLI
WITH TEXT BY A TEAM OF
INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS
The artistic masterpieces of China’s golden age,
many published here for the first time.
China at the Court of the Emperors presents almost
two hundred masterpieces, various in form and
rich in beauty, coming from thirty-two museums
and institutes in Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu, and
Jiangsu provinces, many of them never seen in the
West before.
It examines the vast period from the Eastern Han
dynasty (25–220) through the Tang (618–907),
during which Chinese civilization underwent
radical transformation. As a matter of fact, Tang
China synthesized foreign and indigenous elements
that had been present for centuries, thus creating a
new, distinctive, and extraordinary cosmopolitan
civilization, made possible by tolerance—a message
as important today as it was 1,500 years ago.
The book includes essays by some of the foremost
experts in the field, including Roderick Whitfield
(School of Oriental and African Studies, University
of London), Felix Schoeber (University of Westminster, London), Lillian Lan-ying Tseng (Yale
University), Nicola di Cosmo (Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton), Stefano Zacchetti
(Università Ca’ Foscari, Venice), and Chao-Hui
Jenny Liu (New York University).

A Journey to the
World of the
Ottomans
JEAN-BAPTISTE VANMOUR
OLGA NEFEDOVA
Jean-Baptiste Vanmour was one of the most
important “orientalist” artists: this publication is
the most comprehensive survey of his works.
Orientalism can be defined as a historical and cultural
event, which has been uniting various aspects of
cultural life for a number of centuries—literature, fine
art, architecture, music and philosophy. A “vision” of
the East—positive or negative—based on imagination
or historic facts, it has generated an exotic image in
our consciousness, which has its own right to existence. At a crucial and timely moment in the history
of relations between the West and Islam, this book
provides the context and essential background to
understanding this part of the world and the intense
debate on this theme.
The art-biographer of the XVIII-century Ottoman
Empire Franco-Flemish artist Jean Baptiste
Vanmour (1671–1737) left a very important legacy—
pictorial evidences which can be considered as
historical illustrations of all the aspects of XVIIIcentury Ottoman life: from diplomatic ceremonies in
the Ottoman court to everyday events of Istanbul
multinational society.
It will be of strong interest to scholars of Middle
East studies, anthropology, history, cultural studies,
post-colonial studies, and literary studies.
Olga Nefedova is an art advisor, specializing in
the orientalist art movement. Educated in Russia
and Kuwait, she traveled extensively throughout
the Middle East, has lectured on various subjects
and has written a number of articles for several
international magazines on different aspects of the
movement. She is a member of the International
Association of Art Historians and the International
Association of Art Critics.

DONALD KUSPIT AND RACHEL BAUM
The first book on a painter who expresses contemporary modernity
through ancient painting techniques that are unique to Japan.
Hiroshi Senju’s art can be understood in its simple immediacy—a sense of
powerful, timeless calm, and the monumental force and presence of nature
is perceived. He combines finely ground pigments derived from natural
materials in a medium of animal-hide glue, then applies this “paint” to handmade rice paper mounted on board. Senju is the first Asian artist to receive
an individual fine arts award at the Venice Biennale for his acclaimed Waterfall paintings in 1995. Museums that collect his work include the Museum
of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, California, and The Museum of
Modern Art, Toyama, Japan.

INSPIRATION FROM
CHARMING DESTINATIONS
SÉBASTIEN SIRAUDEAU
This insider’s guide to France’s most charming
addresses is an essential design resource for all those
who love French flair and exceptional interior style.
France is the world’s style destination, and photographer Sébastien Siraudeau has scoured the hexagon
to uncover eighty of its most charming boutique
guesthouses, each rich in the design details that epitomize French style. Thirty of these locations are
featured in individual chapters with photographs
highlighting their particular flair–from a trompe-l’oeil
wall mural, to a damask upholstered chaise lounge, or
a simple row of ocean-polished stones. Those
seeking inspiration for their own home interiors will
find this book rich in ideas for a wide variety of
styles—elegant crystal chandeliers may take center
stage in one room, but a simple wooden bench,
worn smooth with centuries of use, can be just as
captivating in another. Gently faded neutrals create
a quiet harmony in one setting, while another is alive
with splashes of vivid color. Sleek and modern or
cozy and rustic, each of these hand-picked settings
is as inviting as a deep leather armchair.
Organized thematically, these destinations will
inspire the reader to recreate the same atmospheric
interiors at home. This handsome volume includes a
black book of the best design destinations the country
has to offer—from châteaux, country manors, and
farmhouses, to urban apartments, hotels, and B&Bs.
A practical guide grouped by region includes price
indicators and online tourist information.
Sébastien Siraudeau , author and photographer,
has published several books on travel and lifestyle in
France, including Vintage French Interiors (Flammarion,
2008), and books on coastal living and on Brittany.
He contributes to many home decoration magazines.

French Interiors
THE ART OF ELEGANCE
CHRISTIANE DE NICOLAY-MAZERY
PHOTOGRAPHS BY CHRISTINA VERVITSIOTI
Featuring France’s most sumptuous interiors,
including the private havens of the world’s
leading designers, this book is a tribute to the
refinement of French taste and savoir faire.
Christiane de Nicolay-Mazeray, furniture and
antiques specialist for Christie’s of London, invites
us into the heady luxury of various distinguished
French residences. Classic hôtels particuliers in the
Marais, Colette’s former apartment overlooking the
Luxemburg Gardens, a stately residence in the
Faubourg Saint-Germain, even a surprising isba—a
traditional Russian-style log house in the heart of
Paris—feature among the interiors that will inspire
readers. Most of these private residences are home
to the world’s leading designers including the late
Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Jacques
Grange, and the late Madeleine Castaing. Persian
carpets mingle with contemporary art and lush
velvet armchairs cohabitate with delicate hand
painted tableware in these extraordinary and
diverse interiors.
From the classicism of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to the creativity of the nineteenth
century and the fusion of tradition and modernity in
the twentieth century, ten sumptuously illustrated
chapters pay homage to the timeless elegance of
French design style.
Christiane de Nicolay-Mazery is a consultant for
Christie’s in London. She spent her childhood at Montfort le Rotrou, her family property, and at Château de
Lude, her paternal grandparents’ estate. As passionate
for the art de vivre of France’s well-heeled families as she
is for their history, she has previously published The
French Château: Life, Style, Tradition (Thames & Hudson,
2001) and Private Houses of Paris: The “Hôtels Particuliers”
Revealed (I.B. Tauris & Co.). Photographer Christina

Erotic French
Postcards
FROM THE COLLECTION OF
ALEXANDRE DUPOUY
TEXT BY PHILIPPE JAENADA,
SERGE JONCOUR, ANNA ROZEN,
AND DELPHINE DE VIGAN
An erotic journey through an exceptional
collection of early twentieth-century postcards,
with some provocative short stories to raise the
temperature—and the eyebrows—en route.
In this seductive album of vintage erotica, stunning
reproductions of vintage postcards from 1902–1937
pay homage to the great fantasy classics. All styles of
fetishism—dressed up in thigh-high boots or in a
particularly spectacular garter belt—vie for the
reader’s attention. The conquest of a demure secretary is played out in four scenes on a series of cards.
Even the much-parodied French maid shows her
saucy side, not to be outdone by a bevy of sassy
dominatrices. Men with women, women with
women, and various versions of the ménage à trois
find their way between the sheets... of this album.
Four original racy tales from celebrated contemporary French authors accompany the postcards.
Beautifully printed on off-set paper, the book
includes a ribbon marker, just in case the reader gets
carried away on his or her own fantasy. Sexy and
classy, Erotic French Postcards makes a beautiful—
and suggestive—gift.
Alexandre Dupouy is a collector of erotic art.
Philippe Jaenada, novelist, won the Prix Flore in
1997. Delphine de Vigan won the Prix Saint Valentin
in 2006 and she contributed to Parisiennes: A Celebration

Love in the Louvre
JEAN CLAUDE BOLOGNE
ELISA DE HALLEUX
A novel tour around the world’s most beautiful
museum offers a refreshing approach to engaging
with great works of art via the theme of love.
This fascinating book presents the universal theme
of love as seen in artworks from many different ages
and cultures. The Louvre’s diverse collection ranges
from classical examples such as Nicostratos’ c.
150–100 BCE sculpture Couple on their Wedding
Night to more modern works such as Fragonard’s
eighteenth-century painting The Lock. An array of
different scenes in the gathered works present the
many faces of love, from the first seeds of romance to
sensual, passionate intrigues.
Each painting or sculpture is shown in its entirety
and in detail, focusing on the elements pertaining to
the theme of love. All are accompanied by a short,
illuminating commentary and are introduced by a
preface in which the specialist author Jean Claude
Bologne draws upon his personal reflections on the
works. Those discovering the works for the first
time will find much to appreciate, art lovers will see
great works in a different light, and the romanticallyinclined will be enchanted.
Jean Claude Bologne is a historian and
professor of medieval iconography at ICART in
Paris. He has published two dozen works of fiction,
dictionaries, and non-fiction, and was awarded a
literary prize by the Academie Française in 1986
(Prix Théroigne). Elisa de Halleux is a doctor of
Art History and has published a book on Renaissance iconography. She lectures frequently in
France and the United Kingdom.

ADRIEN GOETZ
CLAUDETTE JOANNIS
This exquisite journey exploring the

figures and the symbolic meaning behind the attire
of powerful rulers. Works from the Louvre’s departments include Pourbus’ portrait of Catherine de
Medici, Velasquez’ portrait of the Infanta Maria
Theresa, and the Regent diamond. Each painting

with a commentary illuminating the particular

specialist authors divulge their own reflections on
the works featured in an informative preface and in
detailed captions. Devotees will welcome the fresh
perspectives on these masterpieces, while jewelry
aficionados will be delighted with the breadth of
the collection.

Orientalist
Photographs
1870–1940
ERIC MILET
An exotic feast for the eyes and a privileged
insight into the beliefs, styles, and traditions of
Northern Africa during the golden age of travel.
The century that spanned from the 1850–1950
witnessed the golden age of travel and the exposure of an increasing number of Westerners to
foreign cultures. The Maghreb became a source of
exotic fascination and people grew particularly
enchanted by the landscapes, peoples, and
cultures of countries such as Morocco, Tunisia,
and Algeria. Orientalist Photographs pays homage
to the ultimate travel dream of that era.
This collection of over 100 autochrome, sepia, and
black and white photographs captures delicate, lost
details: the dusty, labyrinthine walls of the casbah;
the dappled sunlight on the market stall of a souk;
the intricate metal work of traditional jewelry. Each
image is accompanied by an informative text that
situates the photograph in its historical reality,
revealing how, for example, the richness of Algerian
embroidery is not the product of hermetic tradition,
as once perceived, but rather that of an innovative
fusion of Spanish, Turkish, and native cultures.
This book’s haunting photographs and incisive
texts vividly render all the mystery, the beauty, and
the naiveté of the West’s encounter with a culture it
found so radically different from its own.
Eric Milet holds a long-standing passion for
Morocco and the Sahara, where he has worked as a
guide for over twenty years. He has published a
number of photography books on his travels in the
North African deserts and Timbuktu.

A History of
Photography
THE MUSÉE D’ORSAY COLLECTION
EDITED BY FRANÇOISE HEILBRUN
AND GUY COGEVAL
This beautifully documented history of the
invention of photography and its development
as an art form is essential reading for amateur
photographers and art historians.
This comprehensive book traces the origins and
progression of photography from its humble beginnings in daguerreotypes to the gradual mastering of
photographic portraits, techniques, and negatives.
The wider use of photography in journalism, for
documenting architecture and art movements, and
its capacity to produce piercing perspectives on the
social and political climate of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries are all carefully evaluated, as well
as the work of amateurs such as Zola who tried their
hand at this revolutionary art form.
Twenty-five years after the inauguration of France’s
first permanent exhibition devoted solely to
photography, the Musée d’Orsay continues in its
innovative and original thread. This book bears
testimony to the unique nature of the museum’s
collection, noted for its rare finds, their quality, and
the sheer number of works it holds (more than fiftyfive thousand). The collection’s most-treasured
works are exposed here, including a portrait of
Baudelaire by Nadar and the recently acquired
portrait of Man Ray by Stieglitz.
Françoise Heilbrun is the head curator at the
Musée d’Orsay and a leading specialist in the field
of photography. She has written numerous works
including Camera Work, Figures and Portraits, Landscape and Nature: Photography at Orsay, and Nadar.
Guy Cogeval is the director of the Musée d’Orsay.
Other contributors from the Musée d’Orsay staff
include: Dominique de Font-Réaulx , Michel
Frizot , Anne de Mondenard , Joelle Bolloch ,
and Hélene Bocard .

Sailing around
the World
TEXT BY CARLO AURIEMMA
AND ELISABETTA EORDEGH
A testimony to the importance of conservation,
this volume takes readers on a tour of the
remaining unspoiled natural sites in the world.
In 1993, Elisabetta Eordegh and Carlo Auriemma
set sail aboard the specially designed Barca Pulita
(which translates, literally, as “clean boat”) to
circumnavigate the world in an attempt to chronicle
the last unspoiled natural sites on earth via a journey
that made as little impact as possible on the earth
and sea. A 44-foot ketch, the boat was equipped
with state-of-the-art equipment that made the most
of “green” technology, from the clean conversion of
energy to the use of special non-toxic varnish.
To date, the boat has covered 40,000 miles, giving
the authors the unique opportunity to document
the state of a vast range of natural settings. From the
tiny Polynesian island of Anuta, with a human
population of 250, to the island of Zabargad in the
Egyptian Red Sea, known for its rich marine life,
they have traversed the sea to photograph the
world’s most spectacular places, presented here in
superb color pictures that depict the landscapes,
flora, and fauna that make each of these places a
precious global resource. The compelling text
describes the unique characteristics and species of
each location as well as the fascinating earth-friendly
technology that made these observations possible.
Carlo Auriemma and Elisabetta Eordegh are
the founders of the Barca Pulita Association, the
main purpose of which is the documentation and
conservation of the last protected natural areas of
the earth. They have published a number of books
on nature and conservation and have dedicated an
official website to the “Clean Boat” project:

jeopardy, Africa is a more precious natural
commodity than ever before. This stunning
volume introduces readers to the rich and varied
ecosystems of Africa through a wealth of specially
commissioned photographs that depict its
numerous wildlife refuges and nature sanctuaries.
Readers are taken on a tour of northern Africa,
Saharan Africa, and tropical and southern Africa,
where they witness the wealth of flora and fauna
indigenous to the different regions of this immense
continent. From the Masai Mara, a destination
popular for its populations of lions, elephants,
zebras, and gazelles, to more obscure regions such
as the Tassili n’Ajjer National Park in the Saharan
mountain range with its prehistoric rock paintings
and desert creatures, Vanishing Wilderness of
Africa reveals the many faces of Africa’s natural
habitats. Large-scale color photographs bring to
life the pink flamingoes of Nakuru Lake, the
hippopotami of the Niger River, and the last
remaining virgin forest in Odzala in Congo,
demonstrating the awe-inspiring beauty and inestimable significance of ecoregions across Africa.
An informative text accompanies hundreds of
pictures that vividly evoke the splendor of Africa’s
unparalleled natural beauty.

Summer Kimonos
and the Colors
of Japan
KIMONO COLLECTION
OF KATSUMI YUMIOKA
SUPERVISION AND COLLECTION BY
KATSUMI YUMIOKA
Following his Kimono and the Colors of Japan,
this second edition presents the colors, motifs,
fabrics and embroidery employed in the
traditional kimonos for summer.
In Yumioka’s previous book, Kimono and the
Colors of Japan, the kimono collector mainly introduced readers to the range of colors used in
kimonos. In this book; however, he has focused on
the motifs employed in kimonos and obis (sash),
with particular emphasis on the materials used in
making summer kimonos. Recent summer kimonos
have become relatively orthodox and somewhat
lacking in creativity. Those who are familiar with
these recent summer kimonos are thus in for a
surprise with the kimonos they will find in this
book. Patterns of flowers and grasses, insects, fish,
shellfish, and Western landscapes, in addition to
daring colors and delicate embroidery, have elevated
these kimonos to the level of art.
In the author’s view, these patterns and motifs
provide a full display of a delicate sense of beauty
and bold design, as well as the playful spirit and
creativity with which the Japanese try to keep themselves cool and comfortable in the summer.
Katsumi Yumioka, an antique kimono collector,
started his career as a freelance hair and make-up
artist, during which he participated in high-profile
fashion shows including Christian Dior’s collection. He worked his way into the world of kimono
styling while amassing an impressive antique
kimono collection.

Vintage Fabric
from the States
A VISUAL INTRODUCTION TO
AMERICAN VINTAGE FABRICS
EDITED BY SAECO OIKAWA
The patterns of old American fabrics, which have
been collected for years throughout the country,
are presented in this single pocket-sized volume.
Patterns used in such wide-ranging items as feedsacks, grain bags from the 1880s, dresses, decorative fabrics, and sewing goods are classified by
motifs such as flowers, dots, stripes, fruits, ribbons,
animals, and more. The colors and drawings on the
patterns—kids with vulnerable smiles on the faces,
peaceful couples on farms, jumping bambis—must
remind people of the good old days.
Each page presents one to six fabrics so readers can
enjoy the detail of each pattern.
Since it has been getting difficult for fabric collectors
to find old patterns in good condition, this book is a
precious resource for fabric collectors. This is a
perfect gift for sewing and craft enthusiasts as well as
all fashion lovers.

Tough-Style Graphics
EDITED BY RIE SEKITA
A powerful, razor-sharp, and fearless design
collection.
This book focuses on the edgy “tough-style”
designs that have risen to prominence in recent
years, and introduces various examples of these
designs from fields such as advertising, products,
corporate identities, and store branding.
More companies today require universal branding
for their worldwide endeavors. The quest for
design styles that work regardless of gender or
nationality, and the expanding male market with an
increasing appetite for consumption may be one of
the reasons the number of “tough” design styles is
on the increase.
Asked for a comment on strong designs, Kenjiro
Sano, art director, principal of MR_DESIGN, who
submitted his works to this book, comments:
“Design is not about ornamentation, it is about
creating an ‘identity’ that is easy for anyone to
comprehend.” Alexander Gelman, a guest professor
at Yale University and MIT Media Lab, whose
poster full of black and white geometric motifs is
included in this book, comments on how effectively
black color is used in his designs, “Black communicates confidence and—when used correctly—is the
most luxurious color.” He also continues, “Even the
most intricate communication must appear as effortless. More like a happy accident than a result of
painful process of trial and error.”
In this book, four subcategories “Tough,” “Active,”
“Chic,” and “Avant-garde,” embody even clearer
views of tough style-designs, and help readers
recognize its qualities.

The 10 Influential
Creators for
Magazine Design
YASUSHI FUJIMOTO
A journey in search of excellence in magazine
design.
What is magazine design? What are magazine
designers and art directors thinking, and in which
directions are they heading? Armed with those simple
questions, the author visited ten prominent magazine
art directors who have been influential in the world of
magazine design: Christophe Brunnquell (Purple),
Work In Progress (Self Service), Yorgo Tloupas
(Crash and Intersection), Jop Van Bennekom (ReMagazine and Fantastic Man), M/M (Vogue Paris),
David Carson (Ray-Gun), Tadanori Yokoo (Ryuko
Tsuushin), Heikichi Harata (Garo And Heaven),
Gento Matsumoto (Rits), and B, Kazunari Hattori
(Here And There).
By presenting each art director’s background,
design style, and how they influenced the world of
magazine design, Fujimoto tried to find answers to
his questions. Along with interviews, the author
shows page after page of the magazine designs of
each director as well as photographs of their work
environments. The art direction of the book is
completed by the author himself.
Yasushi Fujimoto, an art director and the head
of his own design studio “Cap,” has worked for
many well-known Japanese magazines including
Marie Claire Japan, Vogue Nippon and GQ Japan. He
has also directed advertising projects for such
clients as Louis Vuitton Japan and several apparel
brands. In 1996, Fujimoto opened a gallery “Gallery
Rocket” for young designers, photographers and
illustrators to exhibit their works.

Ideas Unleashed
EXCEPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
IN GRAPHIC DESIGN
EDITED BY EMI NISHIOKA
Examples of design works whose unique concept
and ideas go beyond the usual design techniques.
The element of surprise, the unexpected, the
shocking; these can be the most powerful tools in
design for making an impact on an audience. This
book is a collection of concepts and ideas that are
extraordinarily unique; everything from unbelievably high budget campaigns to economically challenged ads. They will amuse, they will make you
look twice, and they certainly will be remembered.
Designers will find a bottomless font of inspiration
in these pages.
Ideas Unleashed is collected from around the world,
not only from America, Europe, and Japan, but also
from such places as South Africa, China, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Peru, Chili,
Guatemala, and Argentina—countries whose ads
are rarely seen in the western world. It is interesting
to see how different countries and cultures utilize
such different design styles yet still have one thing in
common—humor and wit. An outdoor Mini
Cooper-shaped poster pasted right on the exit of a

walking into the station were getting in the car. A
flyer, which looks exactly like a paper napkin with a
lipstick-stained kiss is an instant attention-getter for
a restaurant.
No matter how far design technology has advanced
and design skills vary, an effective design still originates from a human idea. This book shows readers
this most important element in design. The

DC Comics Covergirls
LOUISE SIMONSON
DC Comics Covergirls is a comprehensive look at
the women—heroes, villains, and those who are a
little bit of both—of DC Comics, from the Golden
Age to the present day.
From the trailblazing Wonder Woman of the 1940s
to edgy, girl-power-driven comics series like Birds
of Prey, DC Comics Covergirls takes a look at the
female characters of DC Comics throughout the
company’s history, and features many of DC
Comics’ iconic comic book covers. Written by
renowned comic book writer Louise Simonson, the
book examines the evolution of the comic book
women of DC Comics: the 1942 introduction of
the most famous DC heroine, Wonder Woman, and
her various incarnations up to the present; the
creation of comic book spin-offs based on characters such as Lois Lane; and the recent wealth of
fierce, female character-driven comics such as
Supergirl, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, and Catwoman,
featuring women who have no trouble being both
sexy and strong-willed.
Famous featured DC Comics artists include Jim
Lee, Alex Ross, Adam Hughes, J. Scott Campbell,
Michael Turner, Tim Sale, and Jill Thompson. DC
Comics Covergirls is a smart and in-depth look at
the female comic book characters we’ve grown up
with all these years, and is sure to appeal to new
comic book fans and diehard collectors alike.
Louise Simonson is one of the best-known
female comic book writers working in the comic
book industry today. She has risen to the top of
the male-dominated business and has garnered
acclaim for her work for Marvel and DC Comics,
including Superman: Man of Steel, X-Factor,
Power Pack, Steel, and New Mutants. She lives
in Suffern, New York.

ART, WRITINGS, AND MUSINGS
NATHALIE DES VALLIERES
Rediscovers his life and work through his most beautiful and artful
drawings and manuscripts.
One of the greatest masters of the illustrated book, Antoine de Saint
Exupéry has been well-known for his artistic and literary talents ever since
the publication of The Little Prince in 1943. It is less well known that from
childhood he decorated his letters, notebooks, journals, and diaries (and
later his manuscripts) with small drawings, caricatures, cartoons, and visual
puzzles, very few of which have ever been published.

Smooth Operators
RICHARD JARMAN
Trends from the 70’s and 80’s nostalgically
celebrate what was once thought to be cool,
sexy—and studly.
Fashion is a fickle friend. Smooth Operator is an
anti-style bible that catalogs (and celebrates) the
very worst male fashion trends of the 70’s and 80’s.
It is studded with . . . “studs” photographed in their
natural habitat of cool bars, poolside lounge chairs,
hopelessly fuel-inefficient sports cars, and . . . er,
menswear catalogs.
This pictorial celebration charts the changing
fashion trends adorned by the hunks who were
“macho, macho men” at a time when the Village
People were chart toppers. Later, they were the
Aqua Velva men with the latest in velour track suits,
and ultimately they graduated to the white Miami
Vice lounge-suit without socks and big hair. Today’s
waxed and moisturized “metrosexual” will be agape
at the copious display of chest hair on the “smooth
operators” featured in underwear styles now
deemed to be causes of impotence.
Nylon no-wrinkle leisure suits, kimono-style sleepwear, chest hair revealing one-piece lounge wear, the
vicissitudes of hairstyles, slip-on shoes, bikini
underwear in bold colors—flick through these pages
and relive two decades of men’s fashion disasters.
Funny and nostalgic, this book is the ideal tonguein-cheek gag gift for birthdays and anti-Valentine’s
Day as well as a rueful consolation for your best
friend’s worst date yet.
Richard Jarman studied history at Oxford
University and is the author of Bad Fashion and No
Place Like Home. He lives in London.

Rome
HISTORY AND TREASURES OF
AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION
MARIA TERESA GUAITOLI
An evocative pictorial journey to the
origins of Rome.
From an obscure Neolithic pastoral village to capitol
of the world, the history of ancient Rome is not
merely one of the most incredible adventures of
mankind, but constitutes the start of an uninterrupted bridge between the dawn of Italic civilization
and the modern West. This meticulously researched
volume reconstructs the history of Rome, from its
formative years to the crisis of 5th century BC,
following the conquests of Rome.
Through an in-depth exploration of the historical,
architectural, and artistic facets of the main periods
of Roman civilization, Ancient Rome creates a
compelling pictorial representation of the development of the Roman world. From the birth of Rome
and the Etruscan and Italic populations to the
Roman Conquest of Italy to the building of the
Mediterranean empire, this volume traces the influence of the many peoples that were absorbed into
the Roman empire. Their customs, ideas, traditions,
and beliefs are reflected in the artistic output and
architecture of ancient Rome. Throughout the
book, hundreds of photographs highlight the intricate mosaics, meticulously carved statues and
reliefs, and sophisticated architecture whose influence is still very strong today. Reconstructions and
plans demonstrate the complexity of ancient architectural sites, providing readers with a compelling
glimpse of a remarkable civilization.
Maria Teresa Guaitoli lectures on archaeological museology at the University of Bologna. She
has participated in numerous archaeological excavations and conducted extensive research in the
field of classical archaeology. She has published
several books, most recently Lost Cities of the Ancient
World (White Star, 2002).

Modern peoples have always been fascinated with the iconic architecture,
mystical religious beliefs, and once-thriving societies of the ancient Aztecs.
From the fertile areas of the Oaxaca Valley and the Valley of Mexico to the
great deserts of the north, this authoritative resource explores the development of the ancient civilizations of the Aztecs and their predecessors. Organized chronologically, it describes the native cultures, from the earliest farming
villages to the establishment of great states and urban civilizations such as
Teotihuacán and Monte Albán. By investigating the connections between
these civilizations and the more obscure civilizations of northern Mexico, it
offers readers insight into the birth of new cultures such as the Toltec
Empire. An engagingly written, thoroughly researched text and superb
photography explore, in-depth, such topics as the Aztec calendar, religion,
society, and political organization, providing fresh insight into the rich
cultural and artistic heritage of the Aztecs.
Since 1998, Davide Dominici has directed the Rio La Venta Archaeological
Project in the Mexican state of Chiapas. He teaches Native American
Civilizations at the University of Bologna.
