craftsmanship which is different from ours, but their ideas. It is important
to realize this from the outset, because the whole story of art is not a story
of progress in technical proficiency, but a story of changing ideas and
requirements. There is increasing evidence that under certain conditions
tribal artists can produce work which is just as correct in the rendering of
nature as the most skilful work by a Western master. A number of bronze
heads were discovered a few decades ago in Nigeria which are the most
convincing likenesses that can be imagined. They seem to be many centuries old, and there is no evidence to show that the native artists learned
their skill from anyone outside.
What, then, can be the reason for so much of tribal art looking
utterly remote? Once more we should return to ourselves and the experiments we can all perform. Let us take a piece of paper and scrawl on it
any doodle of a face. Just a circle for the head, a stroke for the nose,
another for the mouth. Then look at the eyeless doodle. Does it look
unbearably sad? The poor creature cannot see. We feel we must ‘give it
eyes’—and what a relief it is when we make the two dots and at last it can
look at us! To us all this is a joke, but to the native it is not. A wooden pole
to which he has given a simple face looks to him totally transformed. He
takes the impression it makes as a token of its magic power. There is no
need to make it any more lifelike provided it has eyes to see.

elements: straight lines and pure colours. He longed for an art of clarity
and discipline that somehow reflected the objective laws of the universe.
For Mondrian, like Kandinsky and Klee, was something of a mystic and
wanted his art to reveal immutable realities behind the ever-changing
forms of subjective appearance.
In a similar frame of mind the English artist Ben Nicholson
(1894–1982) absorbed himself in the problems of his choice. But where
Mondrian was exploring the relationships of elementary colours,
Nicholson concentrated on that of simple shapes such as the circle and
the rectangle, which he often carved into white boards, giving each a
slightly different depth. He too expressed his conviction that what he
was searching for was ‘Reality’ and that for him art and religious experience were the same thing.
Whatever we may think of this philosophy, it is easy to imagine
a frame of mind in which an artist may get completely engrossed in the
mysterious problem of relating a few shapes and tones till they appear
right, pages 32–3. It is quite possible that a picture which contains

and built the house entirely to suit the plan. Yet Wright did not look upon
himself as an engineer. He believed in what he called ‘Organic
Architecture’, by which he meant that a house must grow out of the needs
of the people and the character of the country like a living organism.
One can appreciate Wright’s reluctance to accept the claims of
the engineer all the more as these claims began to be advanced at that
moment with great force and persuasiveness. For, if Morris had been
right in thinking that the machine could never successfully emulate the
work of human hands, the solution was obviously to find out what the
machine could do and to regulate our designs accordingly.
To some, this principle seemed to be an outrage against taste and
decency. In doing away with all ornaments, the modern architects did,
in fact, break with the tradition of many centuries. The whole system
of fictitious ‘orders’, developed since the time of Brunelleschi, was swept
aside and all the cobwebs of false mouldings, scrolls and pilasters
brushed away. When people first saw these houses they looked to them
intolerably bare and naked. But we have all become accustomed to their
appearance and have learned to enjoy the clean outlines and simple
forms of modern engineering styles. We owe this revolution in taste to
a few pioneers whose first experiments in the use of modern building
materials were often greeted with ridicule and hostility. Figure 365

and found the world of art there ‘agog with Cubism’. He saw that this
movement had developed new solutions to the age-old puzzle of painting,
the problem of how to represent space on a flat surface without thereby
destroying the lucid design, pages 540–4, 573–4. He developed an ingenious device of his own, that of building his pictures out of overlapping
triangles which look as if they were transparent and thus suggest a succession of layers—much like the transparent curtains one sometimes sees
on the stage. As these shapes appear to lie one behind the other they
convey the idea of depth and allow the artist to simplify the outlines of
his objects without the picture looking flat. Feininger liked to select motifs
such as the gabled streets of medieval cities or groups of sailing boats
which gave scope to his triangles and diagonals. His picture of a sailing
regatta, shows that the method enabled him to convey not only a feeling
of space but also a sense of movement.
The same interest in what I called formal problems could lead a
sculptor such as the Romanian Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) to
abandon the skills he had acquired at art school and as an assistant to
Rodin, pages 527–8, in order to strive for extremes of simplification. For
several years he worked on his conception of a group representing a
kiss in the form of a cube. Though his solution was so radical that it

it is difficult to appreciate the wealth of his fantasies from one of his pictures alone. But it gives at least an idea of his wit and sophistication. He
called it ‘A tiny tale of a tiny dwarf ’ and we can watch the fairy-tale transformation of the gnome, for the head of the little man can also be seen as
the lower part of the larger face on top.
It is most unlikely that Klee had thought out this trick before he
began to paint the picture. But the dream-like freedom of his play with
shapes had led him to this invention which he then completed. Of course
we may be sure that even artists of the past had sometimes trusted to
the inspiration and the luck of the moment. But though they may have
welcomed some such happy accident, they always tried to stay in control. Many modern artists who share Klee’s faith in creative nature think
it wrong even to aim at such deliberate control. They believe that the
work should be allowed to ‘grow’ according to its own laws. This method
again recalls our doodles, page 46, when we let ourselves be surprised
by the outcome of our idle pen games, except that to the artist this can
become a serious matter.
Needless to say it was and remained very much a matter of temperament
and of taste how far an artist wanted this play with forms to lead him into
such fantasies. The paintings of the American Lyonel Feininger (1871–
1956), who also worked at the Bauhaus, provide a good example of the
way in which an artist selects his subjects mainly in order to demonstrate
certain problems of form. Like Klee, Feininger had been to Paris in 1912

EXPERIMENTAL ART
again may remind us of caricature, the problem he wanted to tackle was
not entirely new. We remember that Michelangelo’s idea of sculpture
was to bring out the form that seems to slumber in the marble block,
page 313, and to give life and movement to his figures while yet preserving the simple outline of the stone. Brancusi must have decided to approach the problem from the other end. He wanted to find out how
much the sculptor could retain of the original stone while still transforming it into the suggestion of a human group.
It was almost inevitable that this increasing concern with problems of
form should impart a new interest to the experiments in ‘abstract painting’ which Kandinsky had launched in Germany. We remember that
his ideas had grown out of Expressionism and aimed at a kind of painting
that would rival music in expressiveness. The interest in structure
aroused by Cubism raised the question among painters in Paris, in
Russia and soon also in Holland, whether painting could not be turned
into a kind of construction like architecture. The Dutchman Piet
Mondrian (1872–1944) wanted to build up his pictures out of the simplest

beginning with the Ice Age, let us begin with ourselves. Suppose we take
a picture of our favourite champion from today’s paper—would we enjoy
taking a needle and poking out the eyes?
Would we feel as indifferent about it as if we poked a hole anywhere else in the paper? I do not think so. However well I know with my
waking thoughts that what I do to his picture makes no difference to my
friend or hero, I still feel a vague reluctance to harm it. Somewhere there
remains the absurd feeling that what one does to the picture is done to
the person it represents. Now, if I am right there, if this queer and unreasonable idea really survives, even among us, into the age of atomic
power, it is perhaps less surprising that such ideas existed almost everywhere among the so-called primitive peoples. In all parts of the world
medicine men or witches have tried to work magic in some such way—
they have made little images of an enemy and have then pierced the
heart of the wretched doll, or burnt it, and hoped that their enemy would
suffer. Even the guy we burn in Britain on Guy Fawkes Day is a remnant
of such a superstition. The primitives are sometimes even more vague
about what is real and what is a picture. On one occasion, when a European
artist made drawings of cattle in an African village, the inhabitants were
distressed: ‘If you take them away with you, what are we to live on?’
All these strange ideas are important because they may help us to
understand the oldest paintings which have come down to us. These paintings are as old as any trace of human skill. And yet, when they were first
discovered on the walls of caves and rocks in Spain, and in southern
France, in the nineteenth century, archaeologists refused at first to believe
that such vivid and lifelike representations of animals could have been
made by men in the Ice Age. Gradually the rude implements of stone and
of bone found in these regions made it increasingly certain that these pictures of bison, mammoth or reindeer were indeed scratched or painted
by men who hunted this game and therefore knew it so very well. It is a
strange experience to go down into these caves, sometimes through low
and narrow corridors, far into the darkness of the mountain and suddenly
to see the guide’s electric torch light up the picture of a bull. One thing is
clear, no one would have crawled so far into the eerie depth of the earth
simply to decorate such an inaccessible place. Moreover, few of these pictures are clearly distributed on the roofs or walls of the cave except some
paintings in the cave of Lascaux. On the contrary, they are sometimes
painted or scratched on top of each other without any apparent order. The
most likely explanation of these finds is still that they are the oldest relics
of that universal belief in the power of picture-making; in other words,
that these primitive hunters thought that if they only made a picture of
their prey—and perhaps belaboured it with their spears or stone axes—the
real animals would also succumb to their power.

‘The sale of the century’ was how the British press described the sale
of Christie’s itself in 1973, as the firm floated on the London Stock
Exchange and share applications closed after just one minute. But it was
another sale held the same year that put a twinkle in the eye of many
Christie’s specialists after a slow period in the saleroom.
The diamond merchant Sydney J. Lamon’s taste was for elegantly
understated luxury, and the inventory of his collection reads like
a treasure trove of art-historical gems, featuring rare and beautiful
examples of Mogul paintings, Renaissance jewellery, Chantilly
porcelain, prehistoric Cycladic marble, Continental silverware, French
Post-Impressionist artworks and Modernist sculpture. Many works
from Lamon’s collection have ended up in leading international
museums and galleries, including this pair of amorous doves by Jacob
Epstein from 1914–15, now in the Tate collection in London.
Epstein (1880–1959) has been described by the sculptor Antony
Gormley as ‘the most radical sculptor working at the beginning of
the twentieth century’; Gormley added that, in his view, Epstein
‘was solely responsible for the introduction of Modernism and direct
carving’ into the UK. Direct carving is the term used to describe the
process of carving intuitively, respecting the integrity of the material
as opposed to obeying a pre-designed model. Epstein learned the
technique from Constantin Brancusi in Paris, before moving to
the Sussex coast in England in 1913. There he produced Rock Drill
(1913–15), a startlingly new, portentous form of a human figure-cumdrill that seemed to express a deep fear of man’s destructive capability.
Concurrently, Epstein was contemplating the purity of a flawless block
of white Parian marble, into which he carved the doves of peace.
In 1973 the art dealer Anthony d’Offay went to more than twice
the lower estimate to acquire the piece for the Tate Gallery. In 2009 he
would look back at the acquisition as a turning point that later inspired
the donation of his collection to the gallery: ‘I was looking at Doves
with [the deputy keeper of the modern collection]. He said to me:
“It’s so wonderful; now it belongs to all of us”. I thought that was a
beautiful thing to say.’

EXPRESSIVE BEAUTY
In 1987 a small painting of sunflowers by the Post-impressionist artist
Vincent Van Gogh became the most expensive picture ever bought at
auction when it was sold for more than £24m. The auction added yet
another twist to the story of the poverty-stricken Van Gogh, who sold
only one painting during his short lifetime.
Although the price of the painting was phenomenally high, there
was a valid reason for that. It was highly likely that this was the last
time a painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh would ever come up at
auction. Although he had completed seven paintings of sunflowers in
a vase, four were already owned by museums and another had been
destroyed during a bombing raid on Japan in the Second World War.
This still life had been part of a collection formed in the 1930s by
the wife of the mining millionaire Sir Alfred Chester Beatty, and the
painting was being sold to meet inheritance taxes.
All Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings date from the last few years
of the artist’s life. The first four were completed in Paris in 1887, and a
further four were painted a year later during a frenzied burst of activity
in Arles in southern France, while Van Gogh waited for his friend the
artist Paul Gauguin to arrive. This painting is one of two copies by
Van Gogh, completed the following January, based on the Sunflowers
painting of 1988 that now hangs in the National Gallery in London.
When one of the sunflower paintings was first shown in an
exhibition in Brussels in 1890, the year Van Gogh committed suicide,
the Belgian artist Henry de Groux nearly came to blows with Paul
Signac and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh’s supporters, over
the inclusion of the painting. De Groux called the painting ‘laughable’.
Today Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings are celebrated for their
expressive energy and for revealing the artist’s creative powers in full
bloom. As Van Gogh’s brother Theo wrote after contemplating one of
them, ‘it has the effect of a piece of fabric embroidered with satin and
gold; it’s magnificent.’
This painting was bought by the Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance
Company of Tokyo, which sought to replace a version that had been
destroyed by fire in the Yokohama City Art Museum in 1945.

Victor Edelstein (born 1945),
A long formal dinner dress,
ink-blue silk velvet
Over the course of fifty years, Victor and Sally Ganz assembled one of
America’s greatest modern art collections of the twentieth century.
The low-key Manhattan couple focused on five artists: Pablo Picasso,
Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Eva Hesse.
Crucially, says the scholar Michael FitzGerald, they ‘never bought to be
comprehensive. They bought because they remained fascinated by an
individual work of art.’
In 1941 the couple made their first major purchase, for $7,000
(about £1,700; equivalent to $109,000/£75,200 today): Picasso’s Le
rêve (1932), a portrait of the artist’s young lover Marie-Thérèse Walter.
Sally likened acquiring the erotic and electric work to ‘falling in love’.
In 1967, the last Picasso to enter the Ganz collection was Femme assise
dans un fauteuil (1913), one of the great Cubist paintings.
Le rêve is one of the Spanish artist’s most popular and enduring
images. It shows Marie-Thérèse napping in an armchair and is
celebrated for the brilliant intensity of the pigments, its clean contours
and its erotic content (a phallic outline is visible on the upper side of
Walter’s face). In 1932, the year in which it was painted, the work was
included in a Picasso retrospective at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris.
When the Ganzes turned to collecting contemporary American
art, FitzGerald says they maintained this preference for works ‘of
astonishing austerity and power’. In the 1960s the couple began to
acquire works by Johns, Rauschenberg and Stella, before starting to buy
the works of Hesse, whose Vinculum I (1969) – included in the same
sale in 1997 as Le rêve – graced the dining room of the family’s New
York apartment, along with Frank Stella’s Turkish Mambo (1959).
The discerning taste with which the Ganzes had built their
collection, coupled with the allure of so many modern and postwar masterpieces, generated huge interest in what was to be one of
Christie’s most important single-owner sales. The New York Times
reported that from the moment Christopher Burge, then chairman of
Christie’s America and the evening’s auctioneer, opened bidding at the
fifty-eight-lot sale, ‘the salesroom became a sea of bobbing paddles and
waving agents taking calls from telephone bidders.’
Hesse’s Vinculum I fetched $1.2 million (£708,000), while Le
rêve sold for $48.4m (£28.6m), setting an auction record for Picasso.
Another major Picasso also came under the hammer that evening: Les

Preparing a sale can be similar to curating an exhibition. Choosing
objects according to a guiding principle is much like marshalling
them under a theme so as to exert the maximum gravitational pull
on potential buyers. ‘The London Sale’ – held at Christie’s South
Kensington in the same year as the London Olympics and the Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee – was one such auction. The lots were exhibited
throughout the summer, and the public was invited to drop into the
saleroom and take a look.
One of the star attractions was a 1960s Routemaster bus.
For overseas visitors, London’s red double-deckers are iconic. For
Londoners, the bus is loved for the libertarian open platform at the
back that allows passengers to hop on and off where they please. This
particular bus sold for £67,250, and is now parked in a South Korean

Rudolf Nureyev (1938–1993) was arguably the most celebrated ballet
dancer of the twentieth century, a passionate, complex perfectionist
who – following his defection to the West from Russia in 1961 –
captivated audiences all over the world. After his untimely death in
1993, Nureyev’s estate, which included an impressive collection of
art, decorative art, carpets and antique textiles, was dispersed in two
auctions, in New York and London, which realized a total of more than
£6.5m ($10.3m; equivalent to £11.2m/$16.1m today).
Both sales were extraordinary because of the range of items being
offered. The first took place on 12 January 1995 in New York, where
Nureyev had owned an apartment in the Dakota building. More than
a thousand people queued around the block to view lots that included
English and Flemish Old Masters, an Elizabethan bed, a Venetian glass
chandelier and paintings by Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence and
Henry Fuseli, as well as ballet costumes, slippers and memorabilia.
The London sale, which took place eleven months later, offered
the contents of Nureyev’s Paris home, which had been sumptuously
decorated in a nineteenth-century style. Again, the auction crossed
the spectrum of Nureyev’s life and passions, from Old Masters, grand
antiques and textiles to costumes, battered paperback books and
personal effects, including a pair of his worn ballet slippers, which
realized £12,075, more than twenty times the high estimate.

entertainment, and the actor Ian McKellen (born 1939) has remarked
that perhaps this explains why ‘often Lowry’s mid-air viewpoint is
like a view from the dress circle, looking down on the scene below.’
The drama enacted here is full of incident and humour as figures
scurry across the road and through gridlocked traffic with sticks,
prams, umbrellas, dogs and other encumbrances. As McKellen says,
‘Until Lowry painted his crowds, no other artist had recorded how
people (and animals) look and behave en masse.’ The illuminated
advertisements for which Piccadilly Circus is so famous play a muted
second fiddle to the colour and sparkle of the pedestrians and the
parade of buses, taxis and vans.
For many years Lowry’s Piccadilly Circus was owned by the selfmade hotel magnate Lord Forte (1908–2007), who had opened his first
‘milk bar’ on nearby Regent Street in 1935. He later went on to own
the Criterion building and the sporting-goods shop Lillywhite’s, both
of which are just out of sight to the right of the picture, where Eros is
now. After Lord Forte’s death, his collection of works by Lowry was
sold at Christie’s in 2011 in the auction house’s first ‘Modern British
Art’ evening auction. The highlight of the sale was this painting, which
made £5,641,250 – still the record auction price for Lowry, tied with
his The Football Match (1949), which Christie’s had sold earlier that

and her ‘Hollywood period’, but she followed the sale from her home,
Kensington Palace in London.
The cocktail and evening dresses reflected Diana’s trajectory, and
recalled the countless glamorous events she attended. A baby-blueand-pink-ribboned chiffon dress, which she wore in her early twenties,
epitomized the early years of her marriage, when her personal style
was still girlish and innocent. Her first sophisticated ‘column’ dress,
a one-shoulder design of draped cream silk chiffon by the Japanese
designer Hachi, which she wore to a dinner at the National Gallery
in Washington, DC, in 1985, sold for $75,100 (£45,100; equivalent
to $106,500/£73,300 today). The undoubted star of the show was
an off-the-shoulder dark-blue velvet dinner dress, designed by Victor
Edelstein and worn by the princess when she danced at the White
House with John Travolta. It sold for $222,500, breaking the record for
a garment sold at auction.
The sale was one of the great social events of the year and was
attended by over 1,100 people, a mix of celebrities, Manhattan
socialites, couture collectors and ordinary fans, many of them firsttime bidders who just wanted to own a bit of royal stardust. The story
behind the dress collection, of a fairy-tale marriage that went sour and
a princess who grew in confidence and glamour to become one of the
most recognizable faces on the planet, accounted for much of the allure
of the pieces being offered. Just two months after the sale Diana was

Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest
Massimiliano Gioni et al.
The most comprehensive monograph to date on the groundbreaking Swiss artist and international art star, Pipilotti Rist
A pioneer of experimental video art, Pipilotti Rist
is celebrated for her immersive, seductive works
that bridge the spaces between fine art and
entertainment. Through saturated colours,
sensuous imagery, and playful eroticism, Rist’s
art, which ranges from kaleidoscopic video
environments to a chandelier of tie-dyed
underwear, absorbs viewers in a hyperfeminine
aesthetic at odds with deeper themes of pain
and innocence.
Bice Curiger is artistic director at the Fondation
Vincent van Gogh Arles.
Juliana Engberg is programme director for the
European Capital of Culture Aarhus 2017.
Massimiliano Gioni is artistic director at the New
Museum, New York.
Joan Jonas is a visual artist based in New York.
Margot Norton is associate curator at the New
Museum, New York.
Gloria Sutton is assistant professor of contemporary
art history at Northeastern University, Boston.
Fall 2016

breadth and depth of Rist’s career to date. The
innovative design mirrors the artist’s aesthetic
Essays by leading voices from the cultural world –
and an interview with the artist by Massimiliano Gioni
– offer new perspective on Rist’s oeuvre and
contextualize her work within contemporary art
and the history of video art
Rist is represented by Hauser & Wirth and Luhring
Augustine, and has exhibited in major venues
around the world, including MoMA, New York;
Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Contemporary
Art, Tokyo; and the Venice Biennale

‘Rist’s art is a great corrective to the
pieties, decorum, and conceptual heavy
breathing of current “serious” art. It
is a shout for bodily pleasures and
sensuality, sometimes to the point of
silliness. Her work is as addictive as the
Tellytubbies, and occupies a similarly
wonky psychological zone.’
– Adrian Searle, Guardian
‘Rist’s trippy video installation cast
such a spell on me that I saw the show
nineteen times. I wrote about it but
forgot to say I was in love with it.’
– Jerry Saltz, New York Magazine
‘Pipilotti Rist’s lush multimedia
installations playfully and provocatively
merge fantasy and reality.’ – MoMA
‘The Swiss video and installation
artist revels in the sensory pleasures
afforded by the everyday, from
underpants to flowers to a cat’s
face, and her works evoke childish
wonderment at natural and man-made
phenomena.’ – Laura Allsop, BFI

Nigel Cooke
Contemporary Artists Series
Darian Leader, Tony Godfrey, Marie Darrieussecq
An in-depth look at the work and career of this fascinating artist, who is having a profound impact on contemporary painting
Nigel Cooke is known for his complex paintings,
which thematically explore the meeting point
between creative labour, consciousness, art
history, consumer culture, and nature. Primarily
centred on meticulously painted, large-scale
urban landscapes, which he calls ‘hybrid
theatrical spaces’, Cooke’s work employs
disparate styles, often integrating trompe l’oeil
miniature rocks and trees with backdrops of
graffiti-marked buildings, to create scenes
conveying obscure and macabre narratives.
This survey of Cooke’s career to date explores
the artist’s style, approach, and impact on
contemporary art and includes his very latest
works, completed shortly before publication.
Darian Leader is a writer and psychoanalyst and
a founding member of the Centre for Freudian
Analysis and Research.
Tony Godfrey is a writer, curator, and researcher.
Marie Darrieussecq is a novelist currently teaching
at the University of Rhode Island.

York, Hong Kong) and Marc Foxx (Los Angeles).

of his media, hugely respected by many of his peers,
including George Condo, Albert Oehlen, and

Cooke’s reflections on painting and art in general
are enlightening and constitute a treat for all fans
of the genre

Mona Hatoum
Contemporary Artists Series, Revised & Expanded Edition
Michael Archer, Guy Brett, Catherine de Zegher, and Nancy Spector
A revised and expanded edition of one the most popular titles in the Contemporary Artists Series
Born in Lebanon, Palestinian artist Mona
Hatoum was exiled to London, where she has
lived and worked since the mid-1970s. Through
performance, video, sculpture, and installation,
she creates architectonic spaces that relate to the
body, language, and the condition of exile as well
as transforming everyday, domestic objects into
things foreign, threatening, and dangerous. Often
exquisitely beautiful, Hatoum’s works combine
states of emotion and longing with the formal
simplicity of Minimalism, creating powerful
evocations of displacement, denial, and otherness. Michael Archer is an art critic based in London.
Guy Brett is an art critic, curator, and lecturer.
Catherine de Zegher is director of the Museum
of Fine Arts, Ghent, Belgium.
Nancy Spector is chief curator of the Brooklyn
Museum in New York.
Mona Hatoum is based in London and Berlin. She
is represented by White Cube (London), Alexander
& Bonin (New York) and Chantal Crousel (Paris).
Key Selling Points
A revised and expanded edition of Hatoum’s first
monograph, originally published in 1997, one of the
most popular in the Contemporary Artists Series
This book will be published on the heels of
a retrospective of Hatoum’s work travelling
to the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Tate Modern
in London, and Kiasma in Helsinki
Entirely redesigned, this edition is augmented
by a new essay by Brooklyn Museum’s chief
curator Nancy Spector, and a new selection

Management of Art Galleries
Magnus Resch
‘The art world is tough, the rules are a mystery, and only the lucky few make money’ – so how can galleries succeed?
What makes a commercial art gallery
successful? How do galleries get their
marketing right? Which potential customer
group is the most attractive? How best should
galleries approach new markets while still
serving their existing audiences? Based on the
results of an anonymous survey sent to 8,000
art dealers in the US, UK, and Germany, Magnus
Resch’s insightful examination of the business
of selling art is a compelling read that is both
aspirational and practical in its approach.
Magnus Resch is an entrepreneur who lectures
in cultural entrepreneurship at Europe’s leading
business school, the University of St Gallen,
Switzerland. He studied economics at Harvard
University and the London School of Economics.
Resch’s experience as a former gallery owner and
as founder of the art-collector database, Larry’s List,
together with his doctoral studies focused on the art
market, give this book persuasive power.
Key Selling Points
A must-read for anyone who already is, or aspires
to be, an art-market professional
This second edition of Resch’s intriguing text will be
accompanied by the simultaneous release of a white
paper, containing supporting documentation
Resch aims to demystify the international art market
through an analysis of unique primary research,
insightful case studies and the experiences of
art-world veterans worldwide
Including practical ideas for marketing and
management, together with analysis of the behaviour
of successful gallerists, written with an engaging
tone, Resch proposes a revised business model
for successful – and profitable – gallery management

MAD Works
MAD Architects
Ma Yansong, with a Foreword by Peter Cook and Interview by Aric Chen
The first complete overview of the most important contemporary architecture practice ever to have emerged from China
The skylines of modern China are punctuated
by architecture that amazes, inspires, and awes.
Many of these structures are the work of new,
experimental practices like China-based MAD
Architects. MAD Works not only documents the
buildings of this group of avant-garde architects
but also traces the development of their ideas
through associated practice including art,
research, and exhibition projects. Organized
thematically, the book explores the underlying
concepts of MAD Architects’ work. MAD Works
is illustrated with photographs, architectural
drawings, and 3D visualizations to provide
a thorough exploration of MAD Architect’s
international portfolio of completed works,
unbuilt projects, and future ideas.
MAD Architects is a global architecture firm
developing futuristic, organic, technologically
advanced designs that embody a contemporary
interpretation of the Eastern affinity for nature.
Ma Yansong is the principle of MAD Architects.

Elemental Living
Contemporary Houses in Nature
Phaidon editors
60 stunning works of contemporary architecture, all of which have a special relationship with the natural landscape
Elemental Living presents 60 works of
architecture from across the 20th and 21st
centuries that have a special relationship
with the natural world. The book includes a
visually breathtaking selection of architectcreated houses that have been designed
to create unparalleled views of a wide variety of
natural landscapes; designed to be almost
indistinguishable from the natural landscape; or
designed using materials and forms found in the
natural landscape. Each house demonstrates a
deep concern with the creation of unique living
spaces that connect their inhabitants with the
forests, mountains, lakes, deserts, and oceans
that have attracted humanity for millennia.
Key Selling Points

cliff-side caves, mountain hideaways, forest retreats
and desert oases, luxury igloos, and cliff-side cabins
A specially curated selection of architect-designed
houses that reflects contemporary concerns about
the preservation and sensitive inhabitation of natural
landscapes

the land; ‘Within’ – houses that are completely
integrated into the natural environment; and ‘At’ –
houses that make the most of spectacular views
Features buildings by 20th-century masters such as
Mies van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer, and Frank Lloyd
Wright as well as contemporary stars including Rick
Joy, Kengo Kuma, Sou Fujimoto, and Mathias Klotz

The Future of Architecture Since 1889
A Worldwide History
Jean-Louis Cohen
Now in paperback – the highly acclaimed history of the architecture of the twentieth century and beyond
Jean-Louis Cohen, one of the world’s leading
architectural historians, serves up a compelling
account of the developments that have shaped
the world in which we live today. This highly
accessible book begins with the Paris Universal
Exposition of 1889, tracing architecture’s
evolution to the early twenty-first century’s
globalized architectural culture. Illustrated with
hundreds of drawings and photographs as well
as portraits, publications, diagrams, film stills,
and more, this survey places radical
developments in architecture in a larger context,
among those of art, technology, urbanism,
and critical theory.
Jean-Louis Cohen is one of the most accomplished
historians of twentieth-century architecture and
urbanism. He currently holds the Sheldon H. Solow
Chair in the History of Architecture at NYU’s Institute
of Fine Arts. An articulate writer, curator, lecturer,
commentator, and leader of research teams, Cohen
is author of numerous acclaimed books and articles.

model, which has been lost, was
made from cardboard, glass
and matchsticks and, according
to Truus Schröder, the change
of material contributed to the
evolution of the facades into a
composition of planes.

rejected by Truus almost
immediately.
Perspective sketches (left and

between the first model and
the final construction show the
alteration of the initial form
through the use of linear and
planar elements, including
balconies, railings and
overhangs, as well as the
evolution of the colour scheme.
Permit drawing. This drawing,
the culmination of only a few
weeks’ work, was submitted to
the city by Rietveld in July 1924
to get permission to build. The
entirety of the upper floor is
labelled ‘attic’, in order to ensure
that the unconventional main
living space did not cause the
application to be rejected.
At night, the multiple planes of
the facades read even more

Gerrit Rietveld’s simple yet dynamic style greatly
influenced international furniture design and
contributed significantly to the history of
architecture. Following Rietveld from his humble
beginnings as a cabinetmaker to his final years
as a world-renowned architect, this book
presents both his lesser-known work and his
most celebrated. It explores his significance
in the wider context of avant-garde movements,
and his influence within De Stijl and
Functionalism. This highly detailed yet
accessible monograph is designed by the
acclaimed Dutch designer Wim Crouwel.
Ida van Zijl was curator of design at the Centraal
Museum, Utrecht from 1978-2013 and organized
a variety of exhibitions, several of which included the
work of Rietveld. She had complete access to the
museum’s collection of Rietveld documents, as well
as those held by his family and friends, when creating
this account of Rietveld’s life and work.

‘Another beautifully produced
monograph from Phaidon …
a great introduction to Rietveld’s
beautiful Modernist aesthetic … [a]
very handsome book. It displays an
enviable lightness of touch, and is
a good example of what happens when
a designer really engages with his
subject matter. We reckon Mr Rietveld
would have been proud.’ – Grafik

Fear and Love, published to accompany the

Ten leading figures from across the spectrum of
design provide a wide-ranging set of attitudes to
design in our times.

A study of a Star of Bethlehem with starry flowers
and long, thin, twisted leaves. To the left are leaves
of crowsfoot, and to the right, wood anemone. Behind,
to the right, are grasses. Below is a tall spray of sun
spurge in bloom, and individual drawings of its flowers.
Around 1505–10 Leonardo made several drawings of
plants for the foreground of a painting of Leda and the
swan, which was destroyed around 1700. His interest
in the structure of individual species, however, went
far beyond what was necessary for a painting; here he
pays close attention to the form of the spurge’s flowers.

Extending the conventions of architectural drawing,
multiple viewpoints of elevation and plan are fused

Evolution: A Visual Record
Photographs by Robert Clark and text by Joseph Wallace, with a Foreword by David Quammen
Stunning images to reawaken us to the scientific process that drives the amazing diversity of life on earth
Evidence of evolution is everywhere. Through
200 revelatory images, award-winning
photographer Robert Clark makes one of the
most important foundations of science clear
and exciting to everyone. Evolution: A Visual
Record transports readers from the nearmystical (human ancestors) to the historic
(the famous ‘finches’ Darwin collected on the
Galápagos Islands that spurred his theory); the
recently understood (the link between dinosaurs
and modern birds) to the simply astonishing.
Robert Clark is an award-winning photographer
with a twenty-plus-year career shooting for
National Geographic, among others. He has
produced several books and has exhibited widely.
Clark is based in Brooklyn, New York.
David Quammen is an acclaimed science, nature,
and travel writer.
Joseph Wallace is the author of more than a dozen
books on natural history, among other topics.
Key Selling Points
Robert Clark’s photographs are known around the
world. Among other projects, he has contributed
40 stories to National Geographic – including over
a dozen covers. He has over half a million avid
followers on Instagram
This is a refreshing, beautiful and provocative display
of the diverse world in which we live; a book that
encourages the reader to stop, marvel, and question
Informative captions and enlightening text by Joseph
Wallace explain every step along the way
The book includes a foreword by David Quammen
(of whom the New York Times has said that he is,
‘not just among our best science writers but among
our best writers, period’), which underlines the
importance of understanding the theory of evolution

Art as Therapy
Alain de Botton and John Armstrong
Now available in paperback – two authorities on popular culture reveal the ways in which art can enhance mood and enrich lives
This passionate, thought-provoking, often funny,
and always-accessible book proposes a new way
of looking at art, suggesting that it can be useful,
relevant, and therapeutic. Through practical
examples, the world-renowned authors argue
that certain great works of art have clues as
to how to manage the tensions and confusions
of modern life. Chapters on love, nature, money,
and politics show how art can help with many
common difficulties, from forging good
relationships to coming to terms with mortality.
Alain de Botton is the author of bestselling books,
including The Consolations of Philosophy, How
Proust Can Change Your Life, Status Anxiety, and
Religion for Atheists. He founded The School of
Life in 2008, an organization which – from branches
around the world – supplies good ideas for everyday
life in the form of books, workshops, and talks. In
2009 he founded Living Architecture, which makes
high-quality architecture accessible to everyone. John Armstrong is a philosopher and art theorist
based at Melbourne University in Australia.
He is the author of several well-received books,
including The Intimate Philosophy of Art,
and Conditions of Love.
Key Selling Points
The hardcover edition was a global bestseller
and was published to great acclaim worldwide
From the prolific philosopher, essayist, and
School of Life founder Alain de Botton, written

The Beatles A Hard Day’s Night
A Private Archive
Mark Lewisohn, with a Foreword by Richard Lester
Including never-before-seen photographs and ephemera, a behind-the-scenes look into The Beatles’ acclaimed first film
In March of 1964, director Richard Lester began
shooting A Hard Day’s Night, a feature film
starring The Beatles. With fast, sharp humour
and a brilliant soundtrack, the movie depicts the
excitement and chaos of thirty-six hours in the
life of the Fab Four, and stars John Lennon, Paul
McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr,
with Wilfrid Brambell portraying McCartney’s
grandfather. This collection of photographs and
unique ephemera captures the infectious energy
and anarchic spirit of this groundbreaking film.
Mark Lewisohn is the world’s leading Beatles
historian. He has authored several acclaimed books,
including the New York Times bestseller Tune In,
the first volume in his trilogy The Beatles: All These
Years, an independent biographical history. He is
currently at work on volume 2.
Richard Lester directed A Hard Day’s Night, among
many other films. He is widely known for his work with
The Beatles.

Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-80
From the Toby Mott Collection, with an Essay by Rick Poynor
A compelling visual portrait of a time, place, and subculture that raised a middle finger to modern society
Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-80 is an
unrivalled collection of visually striking
ephemera from Britain’s punk subculture.
It presents 500 artefacts – ‘zines,’
gig posters, flyers, and badges – from wellknown and obscure musical acts, designers,
venues, and related political groups. While punk
was first and foremost a music phenomenon,
it reflected a DIY spirit and instantly
recognizable aesthetic that was as raw and
strident and irrepressible as the music.
As disposable as the items in this book once
were, together they tell a story about music,
history, class, and art, and document a seismic
shift in society and visual culture.
Toby Mott is an artist, designer, collector,
and punk historian. He lives in London.
Rick Poynor is a writer, critic, curator, and lecturer.
He is the author of more than a dozen books,
and was the founding member of Eye magazine
in London, which he edited from 1990-97.
Fall 2016
Key Selling Points
2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the birth of punk
Many of the bold and stripped-down graphics
(all part of Toby Mott’s private archive) have never
before been published
The collection includes crudely cut and pasted flyers
for iconic bands, such as The Clash, The Damned,
The Ramones, The Jam, etc., as well as Jamie Reid’s
legendary gig posters for The Sex Pistols
With today’s economic and political climate,
the current emphasis on DIY culture, and the
prevalent backlash against the monetization of
nearly everything, the spirit of creativity, protest,
and authenticity seems as powerful and relevant
in society today as it was four decades ago

The much-anticipated first book by photographer Kevin Amato, a leading influencer in fashion today
Kevin Amato, a fashion insider whose influence
is felt around the world, defines who and what

inclusivity. Amato documents a new world order
that is as provocative as it is tender, and as
disturbing as it is joyful.
Kevin Amato is a New York-based photographer
and casting agent. He began taking photographs

Military Style Invades Fashion
Timothy Godbold
A virtual pageantry of the many ways in which military styles inspire and influence contemporary fashion
The transformation of military clothing into
popular retail fashion has a long history.
In fact, the designs of some of today’s most
popular styles, worn for the most peaceful
purposes, actually originated in clothing
intended for warfare. In a campaign to dress
well, combat and battle rarely, if ever, enter
the picture. This book celebrates the enduring
appeal of military-inspired clothing and acts
as a reference guide and source of inspiration
for designers and fashion followers alike.
Australian-born Timothy Godbold is an international
fashion-world and interior-design insider with
a lifelong interest in military style. From 1989 to
2005, he was a senior designer of clothing for
Ralph Lauren. More recently, he has established
his own interior-design and fashion consultancy.
Key Selling Points
The only book of its kind dedicated exclusively
to celebrating the relationship between military
uniform and popular fashion design
More than 180 photographs, featuring the work
of the world’s leading designers and brands
Thematic chapters guarantee that readers will
never look at camouflage and other military
influences in the same way again
Examines the complex meanings behind wearing
military-influenced clothing and what it says when

trousers and pea coats, look dressed ‘to kill’

Steve McCurry: On Reading
With a Foreword by Paul Theroux
A celebration of the timeless act of reading – as seen through the lens of one of the world’s most beloved photographers
Young or old, rich or poor, engaged in the
sacred or the secular, people everywhere
read. This homage to the beauty and
seductiveness of reading brings together
a collection of photographs taken by Steve
McCurry over his nearly four decades of travel
and is introduced by award-winning writer,
Paul Theroux. McCurry’s mesmerizing images
of the universal human act of reading are an
acknowledgement of – and a tribute to – the
overwhelming power of the written word.
Steve McCurry is one of the most iconic figures
in contemporary photography, with scores of
magazine covers, more than a dozen books, and
countless exhibitions around the world to his name.
His work spans conflicts, vanishing cultures, ancient
traditions, and contemporary realities – yet always

Gods I’ve Seen
Travels Among Hindus
Abbas
From the lens of Magnum’s Abbas Attar – the mystical world of the Hindu revealed, from ancient rites to contemporary beliefs
This latest in Abbas’s transcendent series of
books on major world religions, featuring
ritualistic elements – wind, water, earth, and fire,
magic, the spiritualism of animals – to explore
the mysteries of the Hindu faith. Shot over
two years in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bali,
Abbas’s images examine the enigmatic beliefs
of sub-sects such as Sikhs and Jains, alongside
the everyday life of Hindus, and extend beyond
his characteristic black-and-white work to include
a series of colour photographs – in his words:
‘In India, colour was a temptation I couldn’t
resist.’ The result is this sumptuous volume, a
must-have for collectors and armchair travellers
around the globe.
Born in Iran, living in France, and a member of
Magnum photo agency, Abbas Attar has devoted his
life to documenting societies in conflict and recording
the major world religions. In 1994, Phaidon published
Allah O Akbar: A Journey Through Militant Islam,
which attracted particular attention after 9/11.
Fall 2016
Key Selling Points
A stunning visual exploration of contemporary
Hinduism, capturing the mysticism of ancient rites
as they are woven into the everyday rituals and
activities of Hindus in India and beyond
The latest book in Abbas’s ongoing exploration
of world religions; previous bestselling books
by Abbas have focused on Christianity, Islam,
and Buddhism
A comprehensive selection of mesmerising images
invite the viewer into a world of faith as culture,
from sacraments of fire and earth to modern life
in booming cities, where the rational and the
mystical merge
Accompanied by Abbas’s revealing diary entries
written during his travels, in which he ponders
the enduring presence of the non-rational
in a world of science and technology

Toto’s Apple
Mathieu Lavoie
Creativity and perseverance lead to unexpected success for a little worm who goes after an apple high up in a tree
The apple is up high. Toto is down low.
A bird flies by. Toto has an idea.
And so this hilariously expressive little worm
gets busy creating plan after plan to reach
his desired meal. His crafty strategies are
successfully executed but miserably
unproductive … until the opportunity presents
itself and Toto seizes the moment without
foresight. With just the perfect balance
of predictability and surprise, this tale reads
like an animated short that the reader will want
to see again and again.
Mathieu Lavoie is a children’s book author and
illustrator, as well as the creative director and
co-founder of Comme des Géants, a children’s
book publisher based in Montreal. Mathieu lives in
Montreal with his two children and his wife, awardwinning author/illustrator Marianne Dubuc.

Squares & Other Shapes
with Josef Albers
A groundbreaking introduction to shapes through the acclaimed art of Josef Albers
The influential art of Josef Albers is used
to teach shapes in this stylish read-aloud board
book, which takes children through Albers’
range of geometrics, one artwork per page,
beginning with squares and returning to them
as a familiar refrain throughout. The variance
of colour, scale, and quantity adds to the
richness of the visual arc, and the accompanying
text provides a humorous and engaging
commentary. Readers will not only learn their
shapes, but also grow familiar with fine art in
this second title in the ‘First Concepts with Fine
Artists’ series. Includes a read-aloud ‘about the
artist’ at the end.
Josef Albers was a leading pioneer of 20th-century
modernism, best known for his Homages to the
Square paintings, and his publication Interaction
of Color. Albers was a teacher, a writer, a painter,
a colour theorist, and the first living artist to have
a solo retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York (in 1971).

One of These Things is Almost Like The Others
By Bastien Contraire
A clever and surprising approach to categorization and the art of disguise
Readers will look for the odd one out on each
spread of this stylish, 64-page picture book,
packed with familiar objects, stunningly
depicted in duotone. This play on the analogy
of shapes makes the objects look deceitfully
similar and the task surprisingly tricky!
With a range of humorous visual jokes through
association (an egg among birds) as well
as clever shape comparisons (a plane among
insects), this wordless book offers much
to be discussed, and the joy of visual
deciphering and categorization is sure
to continue beyond its pages.
Bastien Contraire is the co-founder of Papier
Gaché, an independent publisher of fanzines
and art books that promote contemporary drawing
and comics. His work in design encouraged him
to explore numerous hands-on art techniques,
leading him to discover the stencil-print technique
he uses for this book. Contraire lives in Paris.
This is his first children’s book.
