Architecture of
Democracy
THE FOUNDING FATHERS’
VISION FOR AMERICA
ALLAN GREENBERG
The building block of American democracy
is the citizen, and the building block of American
architecture is the citizen’s home, from the family
house to such iconic symbols of statehood at Mt.
Vernon and Monticello.
Centered on his intriguing synthesis of the American republic’s architectural and democratic traditions, Allan Greenberg’s essay moves across
geography and through history as the renowned
architect and scholar makes the case that America’s
architectural tradition and political ideals are
deeply connected.
At the core of the American democratic architectural tradition is the modest, single-family house,
which gave rise to the statehouse, the courthouse,
the firehouse, the schoolhouse, the jailhouse, and
the President’s house (as it was known before it
became the White House).
Generously illustrated and skillfully written,
Architecture of Democracy traces a common line
from the earliest colonial settlements to the
Western frontier of the nineteenth century and
today’s ultramodern city centers. The volume will
imbue in its readers a newfound appreciation for
the democratic ideals that American architecture
strives to express and uphold.
Allan Greenberg ranks among the top architects
active today. Educated at the Yale School of Architecture under Paul Rudolf, Greenberg has been
widely influential in furthering architectural scholarship and practice through his writings, public
lectures, teaching, and commissions.

In Grand Style
THE GLORY OF THE
METROPOLITAN OPERA
NANCY ELLISON
ESSAYS BY JOSEPH VOLPE AND
JOSEPH CLARK
In Grand Style is a glorious pictorial tribute to a
golden era of The Metropolitan Opera.
In this oversized volume, Nancy Ellison captures
stunning opera performances by such legends as
Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and Renée
Fleming onstage. Beginning with Pavarotti’s
emotional farewell performance in Tosca, In
Grand Style is filled with profound images from
the Met’s greatest operas, including Julie Taymor’s
new Die Zauberflöte and Franco Zeffirelli’s Carmen
and Turandot.
For more than 130 years, The Met has awed fans
with its grandeur. Now, with general manager Joseph
Volpe’s tenure coming to an end, Pavarotti’s retirement, and Domingo’s distinguished career nearing
its culmination, this magnificent book is a timely
tribute. Ellison’s photographs exemplify why The
Met is considered the Mecca for not just opera singer
but fans as well.
Award-winning photographer Nancy Ellison is the
author of ten books, including The American Ballet
Theatre’s The Ballet Book. For more than thirty years, she
has photographed distinguished personalities. Her most
recent New York exhibition was at the Mary Boone Gallery.

Morphosis
VOLUME IV
THOM MAYNE
This fourth entry in Rizzoli’s Morphosis series
presents the recent work of Thom Mayne’s
multifaceted firm, which has now reached the
pinnacle of international recognition.
One of the few truly visionary architects of largescale commissions working today, Thom Mayne
won the 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize, his
field’s most prestigious award. Mayne’s influential firm Morphosis, founded in the early 1970s,
has maintained an avant-garde presence among
contemporary architecture firms even as it has
garnered high-profile, big-budget commissions
around the world.
Since Rizzoli published Volume I of the
Morphosis series in 1989, the Los Angeles–based
firm has attained the highest levels of international
esteem and influence as it continues to push its
intricate modernism into new territory. In the
tradition of its three comprehensive and visually
groundbreaking predecessors, this fourth volume
packs 575 illustrations into its tour of
Morphosis’s activity at the turn of the twenty-first
century. And like other series of Rizzoli monographs, the Morphosis series is considered the
authoritative record of the firm’s work.
New works covered in Volume IV include the
extraordinary Cal Trans Headquarters in Los
Angeles, housing designed for New York’s 2012
Olympics bid, the San Francisco Federal Office
Building, the NOOA Satellite Operations Facility,
and major housing projects in Toronto and
Shanghai constructed of glass and high-tech materials demonstrating the appealingly iconoclastic
modernism of Thom Mayne and Morphosis.
Thom Mayne is also a professor of architecture at
UCLA, and one of the founders of the avant-garde
institution SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of
Architecture) in downtown Los Angeles.

Cruise
IDENTITY, DESIGN AND
CULTURE
PETER QUARTERMAINE
This charming retro package showcases the
history and design of steamships and cruise liners
from the time of the Titanic through present day.
Cruise Ship delightfully recalls a time of gracious
travel, as well as the modern-day evolution of
cruising at sea. It explores the design and culture of
cruise ships from the golden age of the interwar
period, up to the present when cruise ships have
come to embrace “entertainment architecture.”
Packed full of illustrations of all aspects of cruise ship
design—interiors, entertainment, travel posters, and
other ephemera—this timely book also documents
the current renaissance in cruise vacations.
Traveling by cruise ship, especially between the
wars and into the ‘50s, was the most luxurious and
stylish form of transport available. Many of the
greatest liners were built during that time,
including France’s Normandie, whose Art Deco
interior was one of the most lavish—and beautiful—ever created.
This up-to-date visual history of ocean travel,
complete with full illustrations and a lively survey of
every aspect of sailing on the high seas, will appeal
to and delight a broad audience including cruise
ship enthusiasts, designers, and nostalgia buffs.

wilderness areas in this country. Each year it attracts millions of visitors
who come to hike, canoe, ski, or just enjoy the views. This panoramic

spring, as well as historic resorts and quaint villages. Each chapter covers
a different corner from Lake Placid and the High Peaks to Saranac Lake,
Lake George, and the Fulton Chain. To appreciate the wonders of the
Adirondacks through the lens of one of the area’s most accomplished
photographers is like exploring them for the first time.

Classic Fables
JEAN DE LA FONTAINE
Marc Chagall
The Old Testament
ILLUSTRATIONS BY MARC CHAGALL
Beautifully illustrated gift editions of great books
adorned with classic illustrations by the world’s
finest artists.
Classic Fables contains all 253 classic fables of Jean
de La Fontaine interspersed with illustrations—
many by famous artists such as Gustave Moreau
and Gustave Doré—made over the course of the last
two centuries to illustrate these enchanting tales.
The illustrations include line drawings, gouaches,
engravings, watercolors, lithographs, advertisements, and caricatures.
These fables are masterpieces in any language. In
his own time, La Fontaine was considered a
vagabond, a dreamer, and a lover of pleasure for its
own sake. Because of the universal nature of his
fables, La Fontaine's poems about industrious
ants, brave lions, and carefree grasshoppers are
still widely read and quoted in English.

Oscar Niemeyer
Houses
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALAN WEINTRAUB
TEXT BY ALAN HESS
Oscar Niemeyer Houses showcases the great
houses of this seminal modern master—many
published here for the first time.
Oscar Niemeyer is one of the greatest architects of
our time. Hugely influential, his work has added a
new dimension to modern architecture in the
twentieth century. The designer of Brasilia showed
that the rhythmic, sensuous lines of Brazilian
Modernism were as legitimately modern as the
rectilinear lines of the Bauhaus. Oscar Niemeyer
Houses showcases the houses built by this seminal
modern master in a lavish format that finally does
justice to his extraordinary work.
Viewed as a collection, these houses serve to demonstrate the wide range of Niemeyer’s prodigious
genius. The designs show a personal and eclectic
facet to Niemeyer’s creative imagination, a side of the
master little known and under-appreciated. Often
built for family members or major clients, they
show a wealth of solutions that respond to a wide
range of sites: the steep hillsides of Rio, the
Atlantic beach shore, the rain forest, and the residential neighborhoods of Rio and Sao Paulo.
This celebrated work stands as an enduring and
notable tribute to one of the last of the international masters of Modernism.
Alan Weintraub is a widely published photographer whose most recent books are Frank Lloyd
Wright: Houses and Bay Area Style.
Alan Hess, an architect and architecture critic of
the San Jose Mercury News, is the author of Googie:

Hariri & Hariri
Houses
GISUE HARIRI AND MOJGAN HARIRI
FOREWORD BY RICHARD MEIER
The definitive monograph on the residential
work of architects who have earned tremendous
acclaim for their consistently daring work.
Since starting their practice in 1986, Iranian-born,
American-educated sisters Gisue and Mojgan
Hariri have earned widespread praise for their
ambitious body of work. Their up-to-the-minute
recasting of classical modernist principles has
made them a source of continuing inspiration to
design students and professionals alike. Over the
course of recent years, the Hariris’ portfolio has
expanded from small-scale commissions to widely
celebrated projects, including the much lauded
“Digital House” and the first house to be
completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects
featured in Hariri & Hariri: Houses—illustrated
in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photography—are a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban
renovations in New York City; and magnificent
new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability
of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with
what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an “understanding of the
patterns of everyday life.”
Gisue Hariri and Mojgan Hariri established
the architecture firm Hariri & Hariri in 1986. Gisue
Hariri has been an adjunct professor of architecture at Columbia University and a visiting critic at
Cornell University, McGill University, and Parsons
School of Design.
Richard Meier has received numerous awards for
his work, including the Pritzker Prize for Architecture.

Since founding RoTo Architecture in 1991, Michael
Rotondi and Clark Stevens have demonstrated that
the applications of vibrant avant-garde style can be

of the firm’s commissions, including a memorial for
the L.A. Fire Department, an experimental theater
complex in La Jolla, California, a large Buddhist
stupa in Santa Cruz, California, and a city planning
project in Louisville, Kentucky, where a seventyacre industrial site was transformed into an extension of the city’s center. RoTo Architecture is a
testament to the grace and imagination with which
Rotondi consistently meets his disparate clients’
demand for cutting-edge designs that are sound
and skillful.
Michael Rotondi was a founding partner of
Morphosis and served for ten years as the director of

Alberto Pinto
Bedrooms
ALBERTO PINTO
The fourth book by the internationally
celebrated French designer Alberto Pinto,
who creates today’s most stylish and luxurious
bedrooms and interiors.
Alberto Pinto is among the most celebrated interior
designers at work today and is known primarily
for his highly creative use of color and texture to
achieve the effect of unparalleled opulence.
Here, Pinto turns his attention to intimate and
personal spaces.
Pinto succeeds in giving each of the forty
bedrooms in this book his unequaled touch of
grandeur while evoking its owner’s personality.
Under Pinto’s direction, the bedroom becomes a
fantasy-like oasis adorned with water elements,
fine damasks, gorgeously colored mosaics, fancy
brocades, or neo-classical columns. The resulting
rooms are contemporary bedrooms—some more
appropriately described as suites rather than single
rooms—from Europe and North America that
evoke a spectrum of classical styles updated for the
finest in twenty-first century living.
Alberto Pinto’s bedrooms are spaces that are
grand and yet intimate. Each one will be an inspiration to anyone who is designing or redecorating
a bedroom.
Alberto Pinto is based in Paris and is the author
of Alberto Pinto Orientalism, Alberto Pinto Classics
and Alberto Pinto Moderns . He has also written on
color, antiques, flowers, and toys. He is the preeminent contemporary tastemaker in France.

Marc Chagall
AND THE LOST JEWISH WORLD
BENJAMIN HARSHAV
This is the first in-depth look at the art of
Marc Chagall and the hidden meanings of his
images rooted in the “lost Jewish world” of his
childhood—religion, folklore, and the Bible.
“If I were not a Jew . . . I wouldn't have been an
artist, or I would be a different artist altogether.”
–Marc Chagall, Leaves from My Notebook
Marc Chagall is one of the most popular artists of
the 20th century, famous for his poetic, surreal
images that represent a topsy-turvy world,
combining fantasy and spirituality with a
modernist style. This volume serves as a guide to
the iconography of Chagall's best-loved work—in
which he frequently included Jewish symbolism
and folklore, sometimes overtly, sometimes in quite
hidden, meaningful ways—offering insight into
Chagall’s Jewish roots and succinct interpretations
of his major paintings, from his early masterpieces
made in Russia and in Paris to his Yiddish art
theater paintings.
Harshav illuminates Chagall’s most famous paintings of the Jewish shtetl, or provincial Russian
town, and highlights the recognizable trademarks
of his art, such as the “fiddler on the roof.” It also
interprets in detail Chagall’s theater murals and his
beautiful stained-glass windows at the Hadassah
Hospital in Jerusalem.
Although Chagall is not known only as a Jewish
artist, his background was the prism through
which he saw the world and served as the language
of his universally loved art.
Benjamin Harshav is professor of Comparative
Literature, Hebrew language and Literature, and
Slavic languages at Yale University. His many publications include Marc Chagall and His Times: A Documentary Narrative, Marc Chagall and the Jewish Theater,
and Marc Chagall on Art and Culture.

Southeast Asia and Oceania are global epicenters of economic growth, and
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines in particular have each enjoyed building booms that include modern
houses designed by some of the world’s most talented architects. And
though these countries feature rich variations in culture, language, and in
some cases climate, their contemporary residential architectures share
many similar characteristics. Sometimes these are crisp residential designs
rendered in the most modern forms, while in other cases architects draw on
local cultural or vernacular building materials, such as stone or wood, to
create houses that, while still undeniably modern, are very much of their
place. But the most ambitious and innovative of these projects all maintain
a strong design sensibility that transcends geographic borders. Pacific
Modern is a spectacularly illustrated tour of the most exciting examples of
residential architecture in these regions. Among the architects whose work
is presented are Glenn Murcutt, Sean Godsell, Burley Katon Halliday,
Engelen Moore, Kerry Hill, and Fearon Hay.
Raul A. Barreneche has worked at Architecture magazine as executive
editor and is the author of Rizzoli’s Tropical Modern and co-author of
Universe’s House: American Houses for a New Century. He is a contributing
editor to Metropolitan Home, Architectural Record, and Travel + Leisure and also

Formica & Design
FROM THE COUNTERTOP TO HIGH ART
SUSAN GRANT LEWIN, INTRODUCTION BY R. CRAIG MILLER
An exploration of Formica, the iconic modern material revered by
designers and architects.
This profusely illustrated and comprehensive examination of Formica
surveys all aspects of the brand’s artistic and cultural influence.
Soon after its invention, Formica laminate was used as a decorative material,
adorning such interiors as those of the Queen Mary and Radio City Music
Hall, among others. Formica’s easy-to-clean features and its chameleon-like
capacity to adopt to any pattern and color soon made it a ubiquitous surface
material for kitchens and bathrooms across America. More importantly,
Formica laminate has changed with the tastes of the times from the modern
style in the 1930s to the postmodern style of the 1980s.
Individual chapters and essays explore Formica’s many applications—in
diners, hotels, homes, furniture, and jewelry.
Susan Grant Lewin is the creative director of Formica Corporation.
R. Craig Miller is the Curator of Design and Architecture at the Denver Art
Museum.

Owen Jones
DESIGN, ORNAMENT,
ARCHITECTURE & THEORY
IN AN AGE OF TRANSITION
CAROL A. HRVOL FLORES
A retrospective on the life and work of Owen
Jones, artist, architect, and designer of the
Victorian Age, who remains a highly
influential force today.
Owen Jones was, and still remains, a highly influential force in the world of architecture and design.
His prolific and impressive work—captured here
in its various stages through drawings, architectural plans, and photographs—is as current, imaginative, and important now as when it first emerged
more than 125 years ago.
Owen Jones: Design, Ornament, Architecture &
Theory in an Age in Transition fills a serious gap in
the history of Victorian design. In his early career
Jones was recognized as an authority on Oriental
design. In the 1850s he was commissioned to
decorate the interior of Joseph Paxton’s magnificent World’s Fair Crystal Palace in London. Other
signature projects include St. James’ Hall, the
Crystal Palace Bazaar, Osler’s Glass Shop, and
Eynsham Hall at Oxford. In 1856 he completed
his monumental Grammar of Ornament, which
remains one of the most influential works on
design ever published and is a source for many
artists and designers today.
More than just an architect, Jones’ skills were
applied to designing interiors, books, textiles,
furniture, and carpet. His philosophy can most
accurately be expressed in his words, “Form
without color is like a body without a soul.”
Carol A. Hrvol Flores is associate professor in
the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball
State University and is currently program chair of
the Nineteenth-Century Association. She is widely
recognized as a leading authority on Owen Jones.

Radical Classicism
THE ARCHITECTURE OF
QUINLAN TERRY
DAVID WATKIN
A thought-provoking architectural monograph of
one of the most renowned and original classicist
architects in practice today.
Often described as Prince Charles’s favorite architect, Quinlan Terry is at home in every traditional
style, from Classical Greek to Roman, Gothic to
Renaissance, and Baroque to Neo-classical. With
intense new interest in classical design, there is a high
demand for a compilation of Terry’s work, a volume
that showcases the ideas and creations of one of the
world’s most daring traditionalist designers.
At the pinnacle of his career—this year’s winner of
the Driehaus Prize, classical architecture’s highest
honor—Quinlan Terry is one of the most celebrated practitioners of the form and also perhaps
the most radical.
Radical Classicism contains hundreds of lavish
color illustrations and thirty of Terry’s designs,
including state rooms at #10 Downing Street, a
library and residential building at Cambridge
University, a cathedral in Essex, a church in Bishopsgate, four buildings in Williamsburg, Va., townhouses in London, and ten large country houses in
England, Germany, and the U.S.
Buildings featured include Juniper Hill in Buckinghamshire; Ionic Villa, Corinthian Villa, and
Regency Villa in Regents Park, London; Abercrombie House in Kentucky; Latourette Farm,
New Jersey; Highland Park House, Dallas, Texas.
David Watkin teaches history of architecture at
Cambridge University.

Richard Estes
JOHN WILMERDING
This new book on the American photorealist is the first major book
on Estes to be published since 1993.
Richard Estes (b. 1932) is one of America's leading photorealist painters. This
new large-format book will cover fifty-five years of Estes's work, from 1950 to
2005, and will include paintings, watercolors, and preparatory sketches.
Estes is regarded as one of the most important painters of the New York
urban landscape. The crisp clarity of Estes's paintings is reminiscent of
photography, yet upon closer inspection his work reveals elements and
perspectives that do not exist in reality and have more to do with minimalism and realism than with traditional landscape painting. The book will
also include his work of the last ten years, much of which will be published
here for the first time. A detailed chronology and list of exhibitions and
public collections are included.
John Wilmerding is the Christopher Binyon Sarofim Professor of American Art at Princeton University and visiting Curator in the Department of
American Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Hans Hofmann
SAM HUNTER
HANS HOFMANN
A comprehensive treatment of one of Abstract Expressionism’s most
important forefathers.
As a teacher, Hans Hofmann left his mark on generations of artists in both
Europe and America. He had an equally brilliant career as a painter.
Hofmann operated a famous teaching studio first in Europe and then in
New York at a pivotal moment when a new kind of subjective, non-figurative
art was emerging as the dominant movement. His work is insistent upon
color, texture, and form, and his astoundingly liberated later canvases are
more than expressions of a creative process; they are, in the words of art
historian Robert Goldwater, “less the culmination of a life-long development than a kind of rebirth, an entirely new, youthful phase.”

Wasted Youth
TIM NOBLE AND SUE WEBSTER
TEXT BY JEFFREY DEITCH AND
NORMAN ROSENTHAL
Wasted Youth is the first comprehensive collection
of the work of British artists Tim Noble and Sue
Webster, who have captivated the international art
world with their edgy vitality and inventiveness.
Partners in both life and art, Noble and Webster
entered the international art scene in the mid 1990s
with their first critically acclaimed show—“British
Rubbish.” It was received as a kind of subversive
reaction to their art world peers. Ironically it gained
them worldwide notoriety.
Extravagant, sometimes coarse, and always sharply
clever, Wasted Youth is a both a paean to and sly
denunciation of modern consumer culture. Their
art, deemed “beautiful Baroque Kitsch” by the
London Daily Telegraph, challenges our sense of
conventional beauty by “rehabilitating the detritus
of society and turning it into something
pleasing.”—the Guggenheim
Tim Noble and Sue Webster ’s work has been
exhibited at many museums and galleries in the US
and UK, including the Royal Academy of Arts in
London, MoMA’s P.S. 1 in New York, and the Museum
of Fine Arts, in Boston. Their work is part of the
permanent collection at MoMA, the Guggenheim,
and Saatchi.
In addition to managing Deitch Projects galleries,
Jeffrey Deitch is an art writer and art advisor to
collectors.
Norman Rosenthal has been the Exhibitions
Secretary at the Royal Academy of Art in London for
more than twenty-five years.

Peter Doig
WORKS ON PAPER
INTRODUCTION BY MARGARET ATWOOD
A catalogue of the upcoming exhibition at the Gallery of Windsor
featuring Doig’s signature works on paper.
This full-color monograph showcases Doig’s first show in a public gallery
dedicated solely to his paper works of the past 14 years. An artist who
credits such inspirations as Hopper, Munch and Matisse, Doig re-works
and re-interprets images drawn from photographs, film stills, postcards,
paintings and even album covers to explore notions of memory and fantasy.
Doig’s haunting and atmospheric work is often compared to the early 20thcentury paintings of the Symbolists and Surrealists and is seen as having
revived the Romantic spirit. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994
and has been featured in the 54th International Carnegie Exhibition as well
as many leading museums including the MoMA, the Art Institute of Chicago,
the Tate, and the Dallas Museum of Art.
Margaret Atwood is the author of more than 25 volumes of poetry, fiction,
and nonfiction including The Edible Woman, The Handmaid's Tale, The Robber
Bride, and The Blind Assassin that won the prestigious Booker Prize in 2000.

SELECTED WORKS
LOUIS GRACHOS
“The best bet for immediate aesthetic gratification right now is Karin
Davie . . . painting loopy abstractions in which wide striated ribbons fill
the canvases in undulating waves”—Ken Johnson, the New York Times
With her bold use of color and undulating, twisting lines, Karin Davie works
at the intersection between representation and abstraction, creating
sensuous, psychological, and completely exhilarating canvases. “In a sense,
painting is like dance—the movement, the process, the image. But the
moment you are making the painting, something else enters in,” she
explains. While her work seems spontaneous, the fluidity of her lines betray
an intense degree of concentration and a striking command of the medium.
The book includes her most recent paintings and a selection of sculptural
drawings—on zippered paper with mirrored Mylar—that conjure up the
squashed and distorted images of her paintings.

Jazz Age Beauties
THE LOST COLLECTION OF
ZIEGFELD PHOTOGRAPHER
ALFRED CHENEY JOHNSTON
ROBERT HUDOVERNIK
Never before published photos of the ladies of the
Ziegfeld Follies and other “Gilded” beauties, this
book takes you on a dizzy spin throughout the
world of America’s most dazzling era.
Despite Prohibition, the ‘20s was the decade of jazz,
flappers and hip flasks. While some took their vote
and joined the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Movement, others, well, took liberties. Compiled
here for the first time are more than 200 publicity
stills and photos of some of America’s first “It”
girls—the silent film-era starlets who paved the way
for the cacophony of Monroes and Madonnas to
follow. Accompanying these iconic images are the
stories behind them, including accounts from
surviving Ziegfeld Girls, as well as ads featuring them
that helped perpetuate the allure of It girl glamour.
When rare and striking portraits of these women
surfaced on the internet in 1995, author Robert
Hudovernik began researching their source. What
he discovered was the work of one of the first “star
makers” identified most with the Ziegfeld Follies,
Alfred Cheney Johnston. Johnston, a member of
New York’s famous Algonquin Round Table who
photographed such celebrities as Mary Pickford,
Fanny Brice, the Gish Sisters, and Louise Brooks,
fell out of the spotlight with the demise of the revue.
A sumptuous snapshot of an era, this book is also a
look at the work of this “lost” photographer.
Robert Hudovernik is a freelance writer, photographer and scriptwriter. He wrote and produced a
documentary funded by the National Endowment
for the Humanities entitled Circus Echoes on the
golden age of circus entertainment during the Art
Deco era.

MTV OVERGROUND #3
JIM CRAWFORD AND GREGORY BLUM
An extraordinary look at the coolest and most
coveted collectible toys being made today.
Toys are no longer just for kids—they are at the
heart of a new pop culture movement. The new toy
scene emerged in 1997 when designer Michael
Lau exhibited G.I. Joes he’d customized into hiphop street figures at a Hong Kong toy show. Artists
from Hong Kong and Japan followed suit, creating
their own limited edition vinyl figures. The vinyl
toy movement soon went global, invading the US
and Europe with a vengeance and spawning an
intense, worldwide collector’s culture.
Toys documents the amazing variety and mesmerizing detail of these unique, highly collectible figures
from the top artists in Hong Kong, Japan, the US,
the UK, Canada, and Australia, including James
Jarvis, Gary Baseman, Frank Kozik, Jim Woodring,
Ugly Dolls, and Todd Schorr.
With dazzling imagery and interviews with the
artists, this detailed collection is the perfect source
for inspiration and information for designers,
graphic designers, and collectors alike.
Since 2001, Jim Crawford and Gregory Blum
have been instrumental in developing the new worldwide art toy movement. They were core members of
the development team that created the retail toy store
Kid Robot, and in 2003 co-founded STRANGEco, the
premier US producer/distributor of edgy, artistdesigned action figures and toys. Crawford and Blum
have written extensively on the subject for their own
website (strangeco.com) and a variety of publications, including Super 7 , Figures.com, Play Times, Hi
Fructose, Vapors, and Juxtapoz Magazine .

truly devoted decadents, there is also a section on

Island Living
LINDA LEIGH PAUL
Perfect for anyone who’s ever dreamed of
escaping to the simple life or for those who
just want to see how the other half live.
To live on an island is to live a life apart. Author
Linda Leigh Paul’s Island Living captures the
most charming island homes, including homes on
the East Coast’s Barrier Islands, the Northwest’s
San Juan and Gulf Islands, the Pacific’s Hawaiian
Islands, and the Great Lakes’ Apostle Islands,
among other homes on privately owned or lowdensity islands.
The island home reflects its owner’s reason
for escape, whether it’s a person who turns
to island living to feel more of this world, or
the person who wishes to remove himself
from the mainstream. Regardless, the island
homeowner is individualistic and creative, and
every space in Island Living speaks of its owner’s
dream come to life, be it simplicity or utter luxury.
With more than 150 images and written in the
transporting and distinctive tone that Paul’s
readers have come to expect, Island Living is a
book of fantasy—the home that is both refuge and
wish embodied.

CONTEMPORARY HOUSES
IN WOOD
JOAQUIM BALLARIN AND
MARIONA VILLAVIEJA
Sixty groundbreaking residential projects from
around the world illustrate the latest trends in the
use of wood in ecologically sound architecture.
Wood presents a comprehensive survey of international wood architecture highlighting the incredible
versatility of this building material and the environmentally friendly possibilities of using it in residential construction and design. Wood as a material
evokes alternate images of warm comfort or sleek
cool modern design, and its many special characteristics are explored through the selected projects,
interiors, and furniture detailed in this book.
Wood provides a unique opportunity to examine
contemporary wooden architecture as a global
phenomenon rich in cross-cultural influences and
universality. It also illustrates the diversity in the
use of this material in different climates, cultures,
and countries.
The book is divided into four main chapters: a short
historical introduction; a compilation of different
projects shown as a whole, and typologically catalogued according to the use of wood; a compilation
of interior designs, arranged like the different spaces
of a house and combined with wood furniture; and
a catalogue of the most commonly used woods and
their properties.
Joaquim Ballarin is on the faculty at the BAU
School of Design in Barcelona, Spain and is the
founder of Nassar Associats Arquitects and his
own practice, Estudi ARCA, both of which
specialize in residential architecture featuring
wood as primary building material. Mariona
Villavieja is a journalist who covers architecture
for leading publications in Spain.

Following the success of Isms: Understanding Art,
this engaging and informative guide to the significant “isms” of architectural history spans from the
ancient Greeks, Romans, and the Renaissance up
to the present day.
Each spread is devoted to a distinct architectural
movement and explains when it first emerged, the
historical period to which it applies, the principal
disputes over its applicability, and illustrates
important structures, practitioners, key words, and
distinctive features. From Hellenic Classicism and
Expressionism to Brutalism and Blobism, with
many stops along the way, these sixty well illustrated and clearly defined “isms” help put all of the
“built environments” of the world into context.
Jeremy Melvin is a scholar and writer on a wide

History of Architecture at the South Bank University
and a visiting lecturer at Cambridge University, he is

UPDATED REVISED EDITION
Fashion
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
FRANÇOIS BAUDOT
A comprehensive overview of the world of fashion
featuring the highlights of the twentieth century in
it’s entirety.
Originally published in 1999 and now fully revised
and updated, Fashion is a photographic celebration
that surveys all the preeminent couturiers and
fashion houses from the era before the Great War
through the revolutionary changes wrought by the
Jazz Age and the Swinging Sixties to designers at
work today. Everything is included in this authoritative volume, from Chanel’s little black dress to the
latest Prada or envelope-pushing boutiques.
What distinguishes Fashion from other overviews
or histories of the subject is that it also examines
the ancillary driving forces that have propelled
fashion trends and fuelled the rise of styles. In
many ways, this book makes clear that these
supposedly secondary influences (fashion editors,
advertising, newspapers, magazines, department
stores, boutiques) became increasingly important
during the course of the twentieth century.
Included in the book are overviews of key figures in
the fashion industry and design community. Fashion
is a comprehensive, visual sourcebook for anyone
interested in the subject, and it is a chic paperback
that will be a stylish addition to any bookshelf.
François Baudot is one of France’s leading
writers and commentators on fashion and style.

Distinctive Vintages
THE WINES AND SPIRITS OF
MOËT HENNESSY
ALAIN STELLA
A luxurious volume dedicated to the most
exceptional estates in the great French
wine-making tradition.
To appreciate the most brilliant facets of the French
wine-making culture, it is necessary to explore three
prestigious regions: Cognac, Champagne, and
Bordeaux. All three regions are home to one of the
grandest wine-making companies in France’s exemplary tradition: Moët Hennessy. Cognac is the
ancestral birthplace of Hennessy; Champagne is
home to exemplary houses such as Dom Pérignon,
Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Krug, Ruinart,
and Mercier; and Bordeaux is graced by the magical
château Yquem. The Moët Hennessy empire joins
these fine labels into a single esteemed family.
Distinctive Vintages offers a practical guide to the
three regions as well as an explanation of the different
vintages and results produced by these eight
phenomenal winemakers.
Alain Stella visits each of these exceptional wineries,
where traditions have endured because of an
extraordinary level of devotion and business
acumen passed from generation to generation.
Unparalleled richness of soil, the genius of exceptional entrepreneurs, and a passion for products
synonymous with perfection and luxury have
upheld the success of the most famous nectars in the
world. This book is a dense and delectable tribute.
Alain Stella is the author of The Book of Spices, The
Book of Coffee, The Little Book of Coffee, and Mariage

Giacometti
REVISED EDITION
YVES BONNEFOY
The authoritative monograph of one of the
most original artists of the 20th-century has been
revised to commemorate the 40th anniversary
of his death.
Yves Bonnefoy examines the entire range of
Alberto Giacometti’s creative production—sculpture, painting, drawing, and lithographs—in this
classic, singular study of the Swiss sculptor. By
focusing on the works rather than on the details of
the artist’s life, and by relying on the evidence of
Giacometti’s important writings and statements, the
author—a poet, essayist, and friend of the artist—
provides a wealth of interpretations of Giacometti’s
drawings, canvases, and sculptures.
Bonnefoy’s eloquent and incisive text traces
Giacometti’s artistic development—from his experience with surrealism, to his return to figurative
sculpture, and then to the period of his monumental Walking Man series. The superbly designed
and copiously illustrated volume is further
enriched with archival photographs of Giacometti’s
studios and five decades of his artistic life in Paris.
Accompanied by an extensive biographical
chronology and bibliography, and illustrated with
nearly 600 works and documents, the revised
edition of this oversized, exquisitely-produced
monograph will continue to be the essential,
authoritative reference on this artist.
Yves Bonnefoy is a writer devoted to the analysis of
poetry and art. He has been appointed doctor honoris
causa at various universities, including the University
of Chicago, and has published many volumes of his
own poetry as well as French translations of Yeats and
Shakespeare. In 1981, he was elected chair of comparative poetry at the Collège de France.

Surrealist Picasso
1924–1939
ANNE BALDASSARI
A unique look at a period that significantly
impacted the artistic trajectory of one of the most
influential artists of the 20th-century.
Between 1924 and 1934, Picasso’s oeuvre
developed dramatically. During this decade, the
artist maintained a complex relationship with
the burgeoning and hugely influential Surrealist
movement. Eventually, he diverted from Surrealism
to form a variant known as Supra-realism.
This volume presents an integrated analysis of the
whole of Picasso’s artistic creation during the
Surrealist period. Thematic texts reveal the
extraordinary wealth of Picasso’s work during this
time. It begins with a study of his research on
theater and ballet from 1914–23 and subsequently
examines Picasso’s work in painting, sculpture,
and works on paper. This comprehensive account
concludes with a study of the body of Picasso’s
work from 1935–40. These formative years,
during which civil war raged in Picasso’s native
Spain, laid the groundwork for the increasingly
political content of his later works. A detailed, fully
illustrated chronology at the end of the book
places this crucial period in its full intellectual and
historical context.
Anne Baldassari is curator at the Musée National
Picasso in Paris. She is the author of numerous
works and exhibition catalogs, including Bacon–Picasso
(Flammarion/Réunion des Musées Nationaux, 2005),
Picasso and Photography (Flammarion, 1997), and the
blockbuster Matisse–Picasso (Tate Modern/Centre
Pompidou/Museum of Modern Art, 2002).
Additional texts from Werner Spies, Agnès de La
Baumelle, Etienne-Alain Hubert (Sorbonne),
Marie-Laure Bernadac (Louvre), and Philippe

Nek Chand's Outsider Art
THE ROCK GARDEN OF CHANDIGARH
LUCIENNE PIERY, JOHN MAIZELS, PHILIPPE LESPINASSE
A veritable wonderland of mosaic animals and colorful characters greets
over 5000 visitors a day in this astonishing sculpture garden.
For fourteen years, Nek Chand secretly transported thousands of stones by
bicycle from the Himalayan foothills to a secluded, government-owned
jungle clearing. There he combined them with urban debris—corroded
wires, sheet metal, bicycle parts, tubes, tires, multicolored tissue, glass and
feathers—to make statuettes. In 1972, authorities stumbled upon his
menagerie of elephants, horses, monkeys, birds, and figures and eventually
decided to support his project at what is now the second most-visited site in
India after the Taj Mahal.
Authorative text, an interview, 140 illustrations, and a detailed site map pay
homage to this singular fantasy universe, published for the exhibition at the
American Folk Art Museum (April 4–September 24, 2006).
Lucienne Peiry, art historian, is director of the Collection de l’Art Brut in
Lausanne, Switzerland and author of Art Brut (Flammarion, 2001).
John Maizels is editor of Raw Vision and author of Raw Creation.
Philippe Lespinasse, photographer, is curator at the Collection de l’Art

Jean-Marc Bustamante
JACINTO LAGEIRA, ULRICH LOOCK, CHRISTINE MACEL
The Flammarion Contemporary Series focuses on Jean-Marc Bustamante,
who is transforming art appreciation from a passive to an active experience.
After working with American photographer and filmmaker William Klein,
Bustamante held his first exhibition in 1982 and met the sculptor Bazile.
They collaborated for three years, which lead Bustamante to experiment
with other media. He advocates a reciprocal relationship between artist and
spectator, in which both parties engage in the aesthetic definition of a
piece. He rejects notions of documentary and fixed aesthetics, relying
instead on the fluid and meditative nature of art.
Bustamante is internationally acclaimed; his work has been exhibited at the
Tate Gallery, the Jeu de Paume, and the Documenta. In 2003, Bustamante
represented France at the 50th Venice Biennial.

Egyptian history; every chapter presents two or three carefully selected
works and discusses the technical and symbolic aspects of each. The book
provides a thorough understanding of each object studied by placing it in
its original artistic context. To this end, each chapter concludes with a

Mothers in the Wild
ANUP SHAH, MANOJ SHAH
This stunning collection of nature photography
reveals the special relationship between a mother
and child—an ideal gift for Mother’s Day and
other family celebrations.
A mother is a baby animal’s closest companion
throughout its early stages of life, from birth to the
first steps and discoveries, creating a tender bond
that is fundamentally important. From orangutans
to lions and from leopards to elephants, all species
of the animal kingdom demonstrate the universality of motherhood.
Brothers Anup and Manoj Shah scoured the
world’s most breathtaking territories—from India
to Indonesia to Kenya—to capture animal mothers
and babies in their most touching interactions.
Years of patient pursuit yielded amazingly intimate
photographs of mother and baby animals in
moments of playfulness, fancy, and emotion,
collected here in celebration of a phenomenon that
is at once savage and sublime, mysterious and
pure. Their brilliant photographs pay homage to
the boundless maternal connection that governs all
facets of life. With their readiness to teach a baby
everything from how to eat and play to coordination, safety, and social etiquette, these animal
mothers bear a striking resemblance to their
human counterparts. The mother and baby link is
just as strong in the wild as it is in our own home
and it remains a tribute to the beauty of life.
This affordable and exquisitely reproduced collection highlights the natural love of a mother and
baby and is a perfect gift to honor a mother or to
delight an animal lover.
Brothers Anup and Manoj Shah, were born and raised
in Kenya. Their photographs of Indian and East African
wildlife have appeared in a range of publications, including
National Geographic, International Wildlife, Country Life,
BBC Wildlife, Time, and Outdoor Photographer.

Candice Breitz
MOTHER + FATHER
MARCELLA BECCARIA
This South African artist draws on contemporary mass culture devising
visual systems for filtering reality from popular culture.
Breitz employs a variety of darkly humorous and often disturbing tactics to
strike out at stereotypes and visual conventions in the media and in popular
culture. Breitz appropriates photographs and other visual fragments and
recontextualizes them in bold, sometimes seemingly tasteless images.
Conceived specifically for Castello di Rivoli in Turin, Mother + Father
questions the canon of beliefs about parents that television and movies
have trained the public to accept on a screen—deeply personal aspects of
our lives that must be seen against a ground of real life.
This is contemporary art hard at work to redress the seeming innocent
distortion of popular culture.
Candice Breitz has participated in numerous exhibitions including “Remix:
Contemporary Art and Pop” at the Tate Liverpool and will participate in this
year’s Venice Biennale.
Marcella Beccaria is curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art
Castello di Rivoli. Her books include Vanessa Beecroft Performances 19932003 (Skira, 2003) and Thomas Demand (Skira, 2003).

The Sky
CUBEBOOK SERIES
LUCA MERCALLI AND ARIEL BRUNNER
A stunning portfolio of pictures evoking the
endless beauty of the sky.
The sky is a never-ending source of inspiration for
artists, poets, and anyone who has found peace in
contemplating clouds or a colorful sunset.
Whether viewed from below or from above—with
the help of satellite images—the pictures in this
new addition to White Star’s popular CubeBooks
series convey the many faces of the sky. Colorful
images capture the violent force of tempestuous
storms as well as the glorious sunrises, sunsets,
and northern lights that are reflections of nature’s
gentler side. Readers view the sky in horizons that
frame both the most beautiful natural parks and
landscapes in the world and the skylines of the
world’s most sophisticated cities.
Spectacular views of flocks of migratory birds pose
a fascinating contrast to images of people “flying”

Lords of
the Savannah
LEOPARDS AND CHEETAHS
CHRISTINE AND MICHEL DENIS-HOUT
This tribute to two of Africa’s most exciting
creatures provides a glimpse into their daily
lives—in their glorious natural environment.
Leopards and cheetahs embody the wild beauty of
Africa. In this spectacular photographic study, the
husband-and-wife team of distinguished naturalists Christine and Michel Denis-Hout provides
readers with a rare glimpse into the everyday lives
of these compelling creatures. Their exceptional
photography vividly brings to life the excitement of
a young cheetah’s first hunt, the languid relaxation
of a leopard’s midday nap, and the sheer strength
and beauty of these glorious big cats in their
natural habitat. The cheetah’s legendary speed is
documented in a series of exceptional photographs, while the leopard’s notorious stealth can
be felt in depictions of it’s sinuous descent from a
perch high in a tree.
Everyday activities such as courting, grooming,
and caring for their young are captured in
unprecedented close-ups. The gleaming fangs of a
yawning leopard, the intensity of a pouncing
cheetah, and the golden grasses of the savannah
trampled by a herd of retreating zebra are just
some of the evocative sights conveyed in Lords of
the Savannah. The lively text provides the latest
findings on the habits and habitats of leopards and
cheetahs, and expresses the authors’ admiration
and affection for these animals.
Christine and Michel Denis-Hout have collaborated on a number of articles and books on African
wildlife. They have written a number of books for
both young readers and adult audiences, including
The Elephant, Majestic Kenya, and The Savage Arc.

Yachts tells the story of the concepts and creativity
that lie behind the birth of the finest sailing yachts.

The Pyramids and
the Sphinx
CORINNA ROSSI
A fascinating visual survey of the best-known
emblems of ancient Egyptian culture as well as
the lesser-known pyramids and tombs.
Presenting up-to-date research and all-new photographs and plans, this authoritative volume provides
a fascinating study of the Great Sphinx and the
Pyramids of Giza, as well as lesser-known pyramids
and tombs from Saqqara to Meidum and Dashur.
Superb photography gives students and armchair
archaeologists an unprecedented opportunity to
see, close-up, the remarkable design of grave goods
such as jewelry and furniture, details of painted and
carved reliefs, the awe-inspiring architecture of the
pyramids, and the always fascinating statuary.
A chronology at the beginning of the book outlines
the different periods, from the Early Dynastic
period (circa 3000–2650 BC) through the GrecoRoman period (332 BC–642 AD). A detailed
map notes the significant archaeological sites.
Organized chronologically, the book begins with a
study of the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, masterpiece
of the architect Imhotep who, in a groundbreaking
practice, used stone for the construction of an
entire tomb, rather than mud brick—a building
technique that was to have a major impact on the
architecture of ancient Egypt. Throughout the
book, photographs and text highlight the artistry
and skill that made these pyramids and temples
such precious world treasures.
Corinna Rossi completed a Ph.D. in Egyptology
from Cambridge University and works with the Collegio
di Milano. Her articles on ancient architecture have

Brimming with colorful photographs, this book
takes readers on a splendid adventure through this
remarkable country. Following a concise history
tracing Australia’s roots, it delves into the true spirit
of the country: its magnificent and untamed natural
environment. Australia is depicted in all its raw
beauty: the boundless expanses of the Outback, the

of its immense desserts. The Great Barrier Reef,
atolls, and islands surrounded by sapphire-colored
ocean provide a glorious contrast to the stark inland
landscapes, as do photographs of deep green forests

still believe in magic, dreams, and legends. The
book documents the arrival and impact of different
ethnic groups who have immigrated to Australia
over the years and who have established diverse
lifestyles that range from the heroism of flying
doctors to the beach culture of the surf crowd. A
tour of Australia’s fascinating cities—stunning
Sydney, aristocratic Melbourne, cultured Adelaide,
and youthful Brisbane, among others—demonstrates each city’s distinct appeal and personality.
