Hirmer Verlag New Bauhaus Chicago: Experiment Photography
Book SynopsisThis lavishly illustrated volume, which comes in four different colours and with an open Japanese binding, looks from both sides of the Atlantic at 80 years of photography from Chicago. At the New Bauhaus and what later became the Institute of Design, teachers like László Moholy - Nagy, György Kepes and später Arthur Siegel, Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind taught an uninhibited approach to the medium which influenced generations of photographers. To mark the start of the great Bauhaus anniversary in 2019, the Bauhaus Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung Berlin is presenting its collecti on of “New Bauhaus Photography” which is unique in Europe. It introduces the protagonists and institutions who since the foundation of the New Bauhaus in Chicago in 1937 have inspired, created and collected photography and then presented it to the public. The wide range of illustrations extends from abstract photograms and material experiments to conceptual and process - oriented works series. Contemporary works from Chicago complete the picture and reflect the importance of the Bauhaus thought process for th e present day.

Taschen GmbH O'Keeffe
Book SynopsisGeorgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) was a major figure in modern American art for some seven decades. Importantly, her fame was not associated with shifting art styles and trends, but rather with her own unique vision, based on finding essential and abstract forms in nature. O’Keeffe’s primary subjects were landscapes, flowers, and bones, each explored in successive series over several years. Certain works went on for decades, producing 12 or more variations of an original image. Among these, O’Keeffe’s magnified pictures of calla lilies and irises are her most famous. Enlarging the tiniest petals to fill an entire canvas, O’Keeffe created a proto-abstract vocabulary of shapes and lines, earning her the moniker “mother of American modernism.” In 1946, O’Keeffe became the first female artist to be given a solo show at the MoMA in New York. This introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 traces O’Keeffe’s long and luminous career through key paintings, contemporary photographs, and portraits taken by Alfred Stieglitz, to whom O’Keeffe was married. We follow the artist through her pioneering innovations, major breakthroughs, and her travels and inspirations in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and, above all, New Mexico, where she was particularly inspired by the majestic landscapes, vivid colors and exotic vegetation.

Taschen GmbH Gustav Klimt. The Complete Paintings
Book SynopsisOver a century after his death, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. This monograph gathers all of Klimt’s major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged access to the artist’s archive. With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase” when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold. Through luminous spreads and carefully curated details, the monograph traces the repertoire of Japanese, Byzantine, and allegorical stimuli that informed Klimt’s flattened perspectives, his symbolic vocabulary, and his mosaic-like textures. Drawing upon contemporary critics and voices, the book also examines the art world’s polarized reception to Klimt’s pictures as much as his own stylistic trajectory. From his landscape painting to erotic works to the controversial ceiling for the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, we see how Klimt’s admixture of tradition and daring divided the press and public—becried by some as a pornographer, hailed by others as a modern maestro.Trade Review“Never have there been such illustrations… that give us the grain of canvas and every precious decorative element in the stupendous mosaics of the Palais Stoclet, the Sistine Chapel of Secessionism.” * The Evening Standard *“Guaranteed to work up a fervor.” * Harper’s Bazaar *

teNeues Publishing UK Ltd 6 Months in the Fridge: Travels Through Northern
Book Synopsis"...a charming, beautiful and extremely aesthetically pleasing travelogue." —Roger Lush, Amateur Photographer “Stunning photography.” —Outdoor Photography What does winter look like in the far north? According to the clichés: as dark and cold as a refrigerator. And yet it is precisely in these wintertime months that photographer Michael Königshofer picks up his camera and heads to the Arctic Circle! In this rich and original photo book, the Scandinavia-savvy Austrian captures much more than the clichéd images of the Northern Lights. With an eye on the coexistence of nature and culture, Königshofer explores how lives are lived in this intense and extreme environment, from the traditional ivory carver in Greenland to the ice surfer in the North Cape. The result is an authentic portrait of Scandinavian life, showing a whole new side to life up north. Text in English and German.Trade Review"Cold enough for you? If not, you could always go on a trip with Michael Konigshofer who has a real penchant for a northern winter. Between 2016 and 2020 he visited Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands (Scotland, too, to be fair) in a bid to experience – and capture in photographs – a true northern winter." - Teddy Jamieson, Herald Scotland"Showcasing the natural wonders - alongside the people that inhabit them - of the far North (including Scotland), this is a charming, beautiful and extremely aesthetically pleasing travelogue." - Roger Lush, Amateur Photographer"In spite of claiming to be always cold in spite of multiple socks and the thermostat pushed as far as it can go, Austrian photographer Michael Konigshofer finds it hard to resist the allure of a northern European winter." - Strong Words“Stunning photography” - Outdoor Photography

Turner Publicaciones, S.L. Sigfredo Chacón - Crossings
Book SynopsisChacón's work can be read as a pictorially narrated story of the problems of modern and contemporary painting. Throughout his career, genres and aesthetics are transgressed in his artistic production, "pure" painting is invaded by conceptual art or becomes an installation, and the most radical geometry shares the stage with abstract expressionism. This book is the most complete editorial work dedicated to the artist, one of the main protagonists of contemporary Venezuelan and Latin American art. It contains critical texts by authors of international and national prestige, such as Jesús Fuenmayor, Dan Cameron, Nadja Rottner and Félix Suazo; it also includes a complete interview with the artist by graphic designer and curator Álvaro Sotillo and a detailed chronology by Israel Ortega and Leonor Solá. Illustrated with numerous reproductions of his works and a selection of previously unpublished historical photographs, it is destined to become an essential bibliographical reference.

Fabrica Editorial, La Work in Progress
Book SynopsisThe images by Jose Manuel Ballester in this book commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Spanish engineering corporation Ferrovial show the highways, airports, subways and tunnels built by the company all around the world. Images of a grandeur that transcends human nature, shown only through their footprints to draw attention to the settings and places. For this reason, the Spanish photographer has resorted to the panoramic format, which offers the feeling of being at the limit of what is encompassed. AUTHOR: Jose Manuel Ballester (Madrid, 1960) is a painter and photographer. He earned a Bachelor's in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1984 and has won the National Engraving Prize in 1999, the Villa de Madrid Goya Painting Prize, the Community of Madrid Photography Prize in 2008 and the National Photography Prize in 2010.

Pan Macmillan Orlam
Book SynopsisNine-year-old Ira-Abel Rawles lives on Hook Farm in the village of Underwhelem. Next to the farm is Gore Woods, Ira’s sanctuary, overseen by Orlam, the all-seeing lamb’s eyeball who is Ira-Abel’s guardian and protector. Here, drawing on the rituals, children’s songs, chants and superstitions of the rural West Country of England, Ira-Abel creates the twin realm through which she can make sense of an increasingly confusing and frightening world.Orlam follows Ira and the inhabitants of Underwhelem month by month through the last year of her childhood innocence. The result is a poem-sequence of light and shadow – suffused with hints of violence, sexual confusion and perversion, the oppression of family, but also ecstatic moments in sunlit clearings, song and bawdy humour. The broad theme is ultimately one of love – carried by Ira’s personal Christ, the constantly bleeding soldier-ghost Wyman-Elvis, who bears ‘The Word’: Love Me Tender.Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades. Orlam also reveals P J Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet – whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.

THE ARTIST. Nina Pace is a painter, illustrator and surface designer based just outside of New York City. Her favourite subject is flowers. She is awestruck by the sheer variety of petal shapes, the detailed patterning and vein layouts. When creating a new piece, Nina takes this inspiration from nature and lets the design build organically. She loves to allow each element she’s drawing to flow from the last, where each one informs the other. Nina’s artwork embraces the full and glorious spectrum of colours embodied in the natural world. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
