La Cuisine
EVERYDAY FRENCH HOME COOKING
FRANÇOISE BERNARD
TRANSLATED AND WITH A FOREWORD
BY JANE SIGAL
A culinary bible featuring 1,000 recipes from
the legendary woman who revolutionized French
cooking by simplifying recipes for the home cook.
With the revival of interest in Julia Child, everyone is
hungry for French food again. But why does French
cuisine have to be so complicated? Well, it doesn’t.
Not according to Françoise Bernard.
“Everyone knows someone—a mother, an aunt, or a
friend—who owns a copy, either new or in tatters, of a book
by this star of home cooking.”
—Le Monde
“In the 1960s, Françoise Bernard invented a new way of
cooking, simple and free. Bernard returns today with the
work of a lifetime, a brick of a book of 1,000 recipes,
among her most delicious.”
—Paris Match
“What a great idea to give new life to this monument of our
national cuisine, which is responsible for teaching several
generations of women how to bring good food to the family
table! . . . An eternal classic, definitely indispensable.”
—Elle France
“For generations, French home cooks have turned to
Françoise Bernard for simple, straightforward recipes and
down-to-earth kitchen wisdom, and now we can too. With
this collection, the beloved Madame Bernard shares her vast
knowledge of the everyday food of France and, as she has for
millions of French cooks, shows us how to feed families and
friends easily, economically, and deliciously.”
—Dorie Greenspan, author of
Baking from My Home to Yours and Around My French Table
“Françoise Bernard has inspired so many Sunday suppers
with my family—my aunts and grandmothers collected her
recipes religiously. She has an incredible talent for
understanding how you can cook delicious, original, yet
simple and often very economical dishes for a real family
celebration or for a quick but inspired meal.”
—Eric Ripert, Executive Chef/Co-Owner, Le Bernardin
Beginning in the 1960s, Bernard revolutionized
French cooking by writing cookbooks aimed at the
modern woman. Until that time, the only cookbooks
available were full of fussy recipes handed down by
the grand chefs of the past. Bernard set out to make
classic dishes accessible to everyone, paring down to
a recipe’s true essence. She continued to publish and
teach, building her forty-year career on the principle
that good food can be simple, easy, and economical.
This grand volume is the culmination of her work, a
collection of the best, most tried-and-true recipes.
Each recipe is labeled with degree of ease,
prep/cooking time, and cost. The book overflows
with charmingly homey recipes that take you back to
the basics: onion soup, croque mignon, steak au
poivre, coq au vin, tuna provençale, and potatoes
boulangère. This is the ultimate reference book, not
just for those who love French cuisine, but for anyone
who craves simply delicious food.
Françoise Bernard came of age in Paris during the
Occupation, which taught her the importance of
economy in the kitchen. Her first cookbook,
published in 1963, Mes Recettes Faciles, has sold
more than one million copies and is still in print.
Jane Sigal is a contributing editor at Food & Wine
and has written for the New York Times, the Wall
Street Journal, and Fine Cooking.

Victoria Hagan
INTERIOR PORTRAITS
VICTORIA HAGAN
The first book to survey the work of this iconic
designer, known for her serene “new American
classic” look.
One of today’s most influential designers, Victoria
Hagan exploded onto the scene in 1988 when New
York magazine devoted the cover of its design issue to
one of her rooms. Since then she has become
renowned for her intelligent integration of architectural and interior design, her refined use of materials,
her sophisticated color palette, and her strong
silhouettes. Always looking to the view, Hagan effortlessly makes a close connection of interior spaces to
the surrounding landscape.
The houses profiled—ranging from elegant urban
residences to casual weekend retreats—reveal
Hagan’s unerring attention to what Proust called “the
unexpected detail,” which makes her interiors beautiful as well as timeless. Throughout, Hagan
discourses on the spirit of cherished objects—a print
of birds in flight, a vintage star-shaped mirror, or a
chair with an unusual silhouette—that add soul and
modernity. With stunning photography and personal
insights into Hagan’s design philosophy, Victoria
Hagan: Interior Portraits is an artful and inspiring
collection of this design superstar’s oeuvre.
Victoria Hagan launched her eponymous interior
design firm based in New York in 1991. She has been
awarded many of the country’s top design honors,
including Architectural Digest’s Top 100, and is regularly featured in magazines. A frequent speaker on
design issues, Hagan has also made television appearances on Martha Stewart and Oprah. In 2004, she was
inducted into the Design Hall of Fame.

Rihanna
EDITED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY
SIMON HENWOOD
The official visual chronicle of the year’s “it”
girl as she embarks on her first solo tour.
The millions of sites tracking her every fashion
move, the innumerable magazine covers including
the recent Italian Vogue shot by Steven Klein, her
past endorsement deals including Gucci and CoverGirl—Rihanna is the reigning style icon of the
moment. She has garnered multiplatinum–selling
success as an artist (her current album, her fourth,
Rated R had the highest first-week sales of any of her
other albums in the U.S. to date), including
Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, and countless other awards for her performances. Creative
director Simon Henwood captures the supernova at
the height of her beauty and ferocity in hundreds of
photographs that track her enormous influence on
current trends and interaction with the world of
fashion—from her performances in the most cuttingedge couture (such as Gaultier and Chanel, as well as
in pieces from museum collections), to her relationships with the unknown but up-and-coming
designers she personally champions, to her fashion
shoot with Ellen von Unwerth in Berlin for her
album artwork.
This is a visually arresting capsule of one of the
world’s most talked-about artists of the year.
Born in Barbados, Robyn Rihanna Fenty was just
16 when she was signed to Def Jam. Her first
album, released that same year, included the huge
international hit “Pon de Replay.” She has since
scored several more number-one hits as well as
countless accolades. Simon Henwood is a multimedia artist who has served as creative director for
several major artists, including Kanye West and
Rihanna. His video for West’s “Love Lockdown”
was nominated for an MTV VMA.

Carlo Ancelotti
THE LIFE, GAMES, AND MIRACLES
OF AN ORDINARY GENIUS
BY CARLO ANCELOTTI
WITH ALESSANDRO ALCIATO
PREFACE BY PAOLO MALDINI
The entertaining, revealing, and controversial
bestselling autobiography of one of the most
respected figures in the world of soccer.
Carlo Ancelotti is one of only six people to have won
the Champions League—European soccer’s most
coveted trophy—as both player and coach. After a
successful career playing for several of the most
important teams in Italy—and for the Italian national
team—Ancelotti went on to become one of the most
acclaimed and outspoken coaches in European football, managing Italian giants Parma, Juventus, and
Milan before moving to Chelsea, one of the Premier
League’s most successful clubs, in 2009.
The book moves from anecdotes of his life growing up
in Reggio Emilia to stories of his time playing among
the best footballers in the world. With a characteristic
mixture of sharp insight and humor, Ancelotti
explores the differences between the Italian and the
English games, shares his thoughts on soccer’s future
with the MLS in America, and reflects on the 2010
World Cup in South Africa.
With a preface by the legendary former captain of the
Italian national team, Paolo Maldini, this book is at
once a tactician’s bible from one of the world’s most
celebrated footballing minds, the fascinating story of
an ordinary man reaching great heights, and in part a
revealing tell-all from an outspoken insider in the cutthroat world of European soccer. The perfect book for
anyone with a passion for the beautiful game.
Carlo Ancelotti won championships as a player with Roma
and A.C. Milan, and was a coach for Reggiana, Parma,
Juventus, and A.C. Milan before moving in 2009 to
London to manage Chelsea F.C. Paolo Maldini is one
of the world’s most famous players. He has played
under Ancelotti with A.C. Milan and alongside him on
the Italian national team.

THE ALLURE OF STYLE
MARY MCDONALD
In her first book, award-winning interior
designer Mary McDonald inspires readers to
combine old-fashioned elegance with the joy of
fearless, exuberant decorating.
Consistently ranked one of House Beautiful’s top 100
designers, L.A.-based Mary McDonald’s gorgeous,
feminine interiors have graced the cover of every
major design magazine. Dubbed the “decorating
daredevil” by Domino magazine, McDonald began
her career as a milliner and retains a sense of “couture
chic” that inspires the look of her interiors, which are
simultaneously timeless and of the moment. Her
ability to combine bold patterns, chinoiserie, and
Indian influences with contemporary lines and an
impeccable sense of color has made her one of the
most sought-after interior designers working today.
Now in her first book, as vibrant and whimsical as
Mary and her work, McDonald explores the themes
that inform her stylish yet playful sensibility. From
her own refurbishment of Buster Keaton’s legendary
villa to a stunning range of client projects, McDonald
carefully details the colors, fabrics, and accessories
she uses to seamlessly pull each look together.
Exquisitely photographed, this vivid book is a must for
anyone who loves sophisticated, ravishing interiors.

ELIZABETH V. WARREN
FOREWORD BY MARTHA STEWART
PREFACE BY MARIA ANN CONELLI
INTRODUCTION BY STACY C. HOLLANDER
From America’s preeminent museum collection,
this definitive volume places the quilt firmly in
the realm of art.
Combining economy with artistry and everyday craftsmanship with extraordinary beauty, quilts hold a unique
place in American culture. Each quilt tells a story about
its maker and her community; seen together, these
monumental textiles paint a broad picture of the development of a national character and uncover the hidden
history of women’s contribution to art.
This volume brings together the two hundred most
important examples from the esteemed collection of
the American Folk Art Museum, many of which are
shown here for the first time. Each masterpiece was
chosen carefully as an emblem of its time, style, and
technique. Concise texts introducing each chapter
remain entirely accessible in tone and never intrude
upon the full-page image reproductions and countless detail enlargements that reveal the intricate
stitching and surprising dimensionality of the works.
The American Folk Art Museum, New York, is the
premier cultural institution in the United States dedicated to the collection, exhibition, and study of more
than three centuries of traditional folk art and the
work of international contemporary self-taught
artists. Elizabeth V. Warren is a collector, independent curator, author, and trustee of the museum.
Martha Stewart has created a broad national awareness of Americana and American folk art through her
publications and television shows. Maria Ann Conelli is
the executive director of the American Folk Art Museum.
Stacy C. Hollander is the senior curator and director of
exhibitions at the American Folk Art Museum.

The How Not
to Cookbook
LESSONS LEARNED THE HARD WAY
ALEKSANDRA MIR
Learn what not to do in the kitchen from this
hilarious collection of real advice by real people.
“When you have accidentally added dish-washing liquid
to your salad instead of oil, do not attempt to wash it out
and serve it to your children. They will be able to tell the
difference. Even the teenagers.”
“Never season a salad while holding a cigarette.”
“While boiling pasta do not start two parallel chats on
Facebook.”
“Never follow online recipes. You cannot trust the person
writing them.”
“Do not look into a gas oven too fast after opening
the door. Especially while wearing mascara—it will make
your eyelashes glue together.”
“Never start cooking before you’ve had a glass of wine, but
do not start cooking after you’ve had your second glass.”
Sometimes the best way to learn is to make mistakes.
That’s the premise of this book—a sort of anti-cookbook. Fed up with our prevailing food culture of
patronizing celebrity chefs with their rigid and often
impossible instructions, Aleksandra Mir started a
website to invite real people to send in their kitchen
disaster stories, so that the rest of us could benefit
from their experience. The result was a viral Internet
phenomenon. Home cooks from around the world
streamed in with advice. One thousand of their tips
were then collected in this humorous and ultimately
heartening and cathartic book. The packaging is as
funny as the content too; it tricks you into thinking
you’ve come across a vintage workhorse cookbook
that’s seen its share of abuse.
Don’t look here for recipes to be followed slavishly.
Instead, this is a book to dip in and out of, choosing
from among the wide variety of little gems that are
always idiosyncratic, often opinionated, and never
boring. Many will spark debate. Some may not be so
practical but are wickedly funny. But the best part of
the book is its reassurance that it’s okay to be human,
to make mistakes.
Aleksandra Mir is an artist whose work has been
exhibited at galleries and institutions such as the
Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Royal Academy
of Arts, London, ICA Philadelphia, SFMOMA, and the
Whitney Museum, New York.
Praise for The How Not to Cookbook:
“A dash of encyclopedia and a pinch of
kitchen-cautionary tale.”
—The New York Times
“Fascinating insight into the kitchen mishaps of
others. . . . utterly refreshing.”—The London Times
“A brilliant and obvious idea in a world somewhat
overstocked with books that tell you how to cook.”
—The Guardian
“Culinary slapstick at its best.” —Punch

Naked
THE NUDE IN AMERICA
BRAM DIJKSTRA
A resplendent presentation of the nude in
American art, photography, and popular culture,
from the eighteenth century to the present.
With more than four hundred color illustrations, this is
the most thorough and wide-reaching survey of the
representation of the male and female nude in American
visual culture yet published. Bram Dijkstra explores the
history of the subject from its earliest manifestations in
the paintings of John Singleton Copley and Benjamin
West to the taboo-shredding imagery of late-twentiethcentury artists such as Alice Neel, Robert
Mapplethorpe, Eric Fischl, and John Currin.
Dijkstra is a cultural historian who refuses to separate
“high” and “low” art, charting instead such momentous historical events as the discovery of pubic hair,
the invasion of the pin-up queens, “the inexorable rise
of the breast,” and the puzzling fluctuations of American prudery. Naked also examines the effects of the
early twentieth century’s infatuation with Freudian
psychoanalysis and the more recent fascination of
comic book art with the legacy of Bettie Page and her
seemingly ever more muscular daughters.
In chronological and thematic order, the book demonstrates the links between the work of some of the most
famous names in the history of American painting
(Chase, Cassatt, Hopper), sculpture (French, Powers),
and photography (Cunningham, Weston), and that of
the outlaw hordes of cartoonists, book-cover illustrators, and visual extremists who, particularly during the
last half-century, were able to turn the United States
into the world’s principal purveyor of erotic fantasies.

Herb Ritts
The Golden Hour
A PHOTOGRAPHER’S WORK
AND HIS WORLD
CHARLES CHURCHWARD
FOREWORD BY DAVID FAHEY
The definitive book on the life of the
legendary photographer Herb Ritts, with
never-before-seen images and interviews
with his closest confidants.
At the time of his death in 2002, Herb Ritts was
among the most celebrated photographers in
celebrity portraiture, fashion, and music videos.
During a career that spanned nearly thirty years, he
was virtually in a league of his own in terms of style
and productivity. Ritts was Hollywood royalty, as
were his closest friends and the subjects he
photographed.
The Golden Hour reveals for the first time the
personal aspects of Ritts’s world, work, and legacy.
The book includes many never-before-seen photographs and scores of interviews from business associates, curators, staff, lovers, and family, such as Cindy
Crawford, Elton John, Tom Cruise, Anna Wintour,
Madonna, Calvin Klein, and Christopher Buckley
(Ritts’s college roommate). The book includes
images from Ritts’s personal archive—behind the
scenes at photo shoots, parties, travels, intimate
portraits, and moments with friends—along with
notes and contact sheets that show how ideas became
his best-known iconic images.
Herb Ritts’s career began in the late 1970s, and he quickly
gained a reputation as a master of art and commercial
photography. In addition to portrait and fashion work for
Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Rolling Stone, he created campaigns
for Calvin Klein, Chanel, Versace, and Valentino, among
others. Charles Churchward is an accomplished art
director who had been associated with top magazines
since 1971, such as Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Teen Vogue. He
also edits and designs books, advertisements, and photo
exhibitions. David Fahey, gallery director, has been a fine
art photography dealer in Los Angeles since 1975.

Bespoke
THE MEN’S FASHION OF
SAVILE ROW
JAMES SHERWOOD
FOREWORD BY TOM FORD
A fully illustrated history of bespoke tailoring—
the custom-made men’s clothing that made a
small London street a globally known brand
to generations of sartorial connoisseurs.
Savile Row is renowned for fine custom tailoring—
“bespoke” in its own parlance. The term originated
when cloth for a suit was said to “be spoken for” by
customers who have included generations of stylish
and tasteful men, from rakes to royals. Bespoke is the
epitome of male sartorial style, exquisite quality, and
craftsmanship, and has been worn by a veritable
who’s who of famous and important men: Winston
Churchill, Cary Grant, Russell Crowe, David
Beckham, and countless world leaders.
Bespoke charts Savile Row’s contribution to fashion and
culture chronologically and features twenty-six profiles
of today’s master tailors from historic firms such as
Gieves & Hawkes and Henry Poole to more recent ones
like Nutters and Ozwald Boateng, who was the first
Savile Row tailor to stage a catwalk show in Paris.
James Sherwood writes for the Financial Times and
the International Herald Tribune. He curated The
London Cut, an exhibition shown at the Palazzo Pitti
in Florence and the British embassies in Paris and
Tokyo. Tom Ford , former creative director of Gucci
and Yves Saint Laurent, opened his own eponymous fashion house in 2006. He directed his first
feature film, A Single Man, which premiered at the
Venice Film Festival in 2009.

Kenzo
ANTONIO MARRAS
IN CONVERSATION WITH
BARTABAS AND CATHERINE ORMEN
ESSAYS BY OLIVIER SAILLARD
AND BRADLEY QUINN
INTRODUCTION BY FRANCESCO BONAMI
An extraordinary collectible, Kenzo creatively
presents forty years of the Paris-based fashion
house, founded by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada
and now in a resurgence under artistic director
Antonio Marras.
Established in 1970 by Kenzo Takada, who had arrived
in Paris from Japan in 1965, KENZO is one of the great
French houses that transformed global fashion in the
latter half of the twentieth century. Now under the artistic
directorship of Antonio Marras, KENZO has again
achieved critical and popular acclaim.Marras draws from
the rich vein of KENZO tradition as it engages the spirit
of the new century. Armed with an unmatched vocabulary in prints and textiles, Marras mines both East and
West, the present and the past, to create a collection that
evokes, reveres, and reinvents the intentions of its
founder. The highlights of Takada’s tenure until his
retirement in 1999 are also documented here.
The first monograph on KENZO, this lavish volume
features the romantic textiles, envelopes, and pop-ups
for which the house’s fashion collection invitations
are known and is an art object in and of itself.
Antonio Marras was appointed designer of KENZO’s

Houses:
Modern Natural/
Natural Modern
RON BROADHURST
FOREWORD BY BARRY BERGDOLL
An authoritative volume on the most innovative and
environmentally sensitive new residential design.
This carefully curated presentation of new and recent
houses represents the vanguard of architects creating
innovative structures that maintain a sensitive relationship to their natural contexts. Ron Broadhurst
has selected projects on five continents demonstrating the inexhaustible potential of the modern
house to enter into a dialogue with nature, either as
an extraordinary object within the landscape or as an
essay in environmental sustainability, or both.
Featured here is work by such design luminaries as
Kengo Kuma in China, Sean Godsell in Australia,
and Allied Works Architecture in the United States.
With exceptional color photography, the book presents houses created with sustainability and carbon
footprint in mind, as well as houses constructed on
spectacular sites. Some houses incorporate the
cutting edge of environmentally sensitive design;
some radically rethink the use of “traditional” materials such as wood and stone. A comprehensive
collection, Houses: Modern Natural/Natural Modern
demonstrates uniquely of-the-moment architecture
and interiors and offers a vision of how we will think
of the relationship between houses and the natural
landscape in the decades to come.
Ron Broadhurst was formerly director of communications for Richard Meier & Partners Architects
and architecture editor at Rizzoli International
Publications. He is the author of Next Houses: Architecture for the Twenty-First Century and coauthor of
Imagining Ground Zero: Official and Unofficial Proposals
for the World Trade Center Site. Barry Bergdoll is the
Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and
Design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Women Then
NEW YORK, PARIS, LONDON
1954–1969
JERRY SCHATZBERG
TEXT BY JULIA MORTON AND GAIL BUCKLAND
AFTERWORD BY FAYE DUNAWAY
A collection of rarely seen black-and-white
photographs taken of women in the 1950s and
1960s, captured by the renowned New York City
fashion photographer and filmmaker.
Designed by Ruth Ansel, this elegantly produced volume
captures the romance and glamour of women in the 1950s
and 1960s. A mix of fashion and portraiture, it includes
intimate and striking portraits of Nico, Faye Dunaway,
Edie Sedgwick, Sharon Tate, and Catherine Deneuve.
Jerry Schatzberg’s moody snapshots of a more innocent
and whimsical New York on the brink of the important
societal changes of the sixties form a compellingly
nostalgic portrait of a stylish moment. Images of jetsetters
at an airport terminal, lovers embracing in Central Park,
and a woman waltzing in the street in the Financial
District portray a time as well as a style.
A New York City native, Schatzberg documented the
period with the insider’s sensibility of Woody Allen or
Martin Scorsese, but with the high-fashion style of
Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. With a keen eye for
the magic of the in-between moment, Schatzberg
stealthily captured the elegance and beauty of a woman
as her role was redefined in the sixties, while at the same
time retaining an element of humor and surprise.
Jerry Schatzberg has been published in Vogue, McCall’s,
Esquire, Glamour, and Life in the 1960s, and has directed
twelve films, including The Panic in Needle Park and Scarecrow. His last monograph, Paris 1962, was published by
Rizzoli in 2008. Julia Morton has contributed to
Artnet.com, Art Papers, and New York Press. Her artist’s
book essays include Paris 1962. Gail Buckland is the
former curator of the Royal Photographic Society of Great
Britain and has curated many major exhibitions,
including the recent Who Shot Rock & Roll at the Brooklyn
Museum. She is a professor of the history of photography
at The Cooper Union in New York. Faye Dunaway is an
Academy Award–winning American actress.

The World of
Madeleine Castaing
EMILY EVANS EERDMANS
FOREWORD BY JACQUES GRANGE
PREFACE BY FREDERIC CASTAING
The inimitable style of renowned French interior
designer Madeleine Castaing, chronicled in-depth
for the first time.
While many were drumming to the beat of
modernism in the early- and mid-twentieth century,
French antiquaire and decorator Madeleine Castaing
created her own look that was a unique blend of
neoclassicism, Proustian romanticism, and pure wit.
Her distinctive aesthetic vision has inspired
tastemakers on both sides of the Atlantic, and her
devotees—both then and now—are legion.
Ocelot carpeting, opaline blue, “coolie” lampshades,
and an eclectic mix of neoclassical furnishings ranging
from English Regency to Napoleon III all formed part
of the vocabulary of “le style Castaing.” This lavishly
illustrated volume—the first on her work—explores indepth the elements of her style, and examines how she
crafted interiors so emotive that visitors felt that they
had stepped into a Balzac novel or a Proustian recollection. Her entire life and career are chronicled, from her
early years in Montparnasse, the epicenter of artistic
activity in Paris, to her incomparable country house
Lèves and her legendary shop on rue Jacob in Paris.
Emily Evans Eerdmans received her master’s degree
in fine and decorative arts from Sotheby’s Institute of
Art in London, and has pursued her passion for
antique furniture while working for Partridge Fine
Arts, Devenish, and Hyde Park Antiques in New York.
She has written articles for the Furniture History Journal
and Connoisseur’s Quarterly. Her previous books
include Classic English Design and Antiques and Regency
Redux. Jacques Grange is a world-famous interior
decorator who worked with Madeleine Castaing in his
early career. Frederic Castaing is Madeleine’s grandnephew and is an antiques dealer in Paris.

Handcrafted
Modern
AT HOME WITH MID-CENTURY
DESIGNERS
LESLIE WILLIAMSON
An intimate and revealing collection of
photographs of astonishingly beautiful, iconic,
and undiscovered mid-century interiors.
Among significant mid-century interiors, none are
more celebrated yet underpublished as the homes
created by architects and interior designers for themselves. This collection of newly commissioned photographs presents the most compelling homes by
influential mid-century designers, such as Russel
Wright, George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles
and Ray Eames, and Eva Zeisel, among others.
Intimate as well as revelatory, Williamson’s photographs show these creative homes as they were lived
in by their designers: Walter Gropius’s historic
Bauhaus home in Massachusetts; Albert Frey’s
floating modernist aerie on a Palm Springs rock
outcropping; Wharton Esherick’s completely handmade Pennsylvania house, from the organic handcarved staircase to the iconic furniture. Personal and
breathtaking by turn—these homes are exemplary
studies of domestic modernism at its warmest and
most creative.
Leslie Williamson is a photographer based in San
Francisco. Her work has appeared in Dwell, Surface,
and Travel + Leisure magazines.

The Soul of a House
DECORATING WITH WARMTH,
STYLE, AND COMFORT
CHRIS MADDEN
From best-selling author and design icon
Chris Madden comes the first book on her
design philosophy, and how to achieve
her comfortable, chic style.
Design expert Chris Madden has spent years chronicling other people’s beautiful rooms. Now, for the first
time, she presents her own design sensibility as illustrated by examples such as her elegant one hundredyear-old carriage house in upstate New York and a
mid-century modern family getaway in the mountains
of Vermont. Organized by type of room, each house is
explored—from entryways to bedrooms, kitchens,
living rooms, mudrooms, greenhouses, and terraces,
as well as specialty rooms like yoga studios and a
man’s study—through rich photography and dozens
of practical styling tips. Readers learn how to layer
fabrics and colors for seasonal decorating; how to
repurpose materials; and how to recognize a room’s
quality of light. Also featured are sidebars on caring
for guests, collecting, and living in an old house
versus a modern house. An avid gardener, Madden
explores the way outdoor space frames and supports
a house.
This lush and elegant volume is an eminently practical resource of ideas for creating rooms in which to
celebrate family, entertain friends, and provide
personal sanctuary.

British West Indies
Style
ANTIGUA, JAMAICA, BARBADOS,
AND BEYOND
MICHAEL CONNORS
Breathtaking photographs capture the history and
unique design of the English island great houses,
detailing the hardwood furniture, terraced gardens,
walled courtyards, and interiors.
Perhaps the most admired and influential of tropical
styles, the English island style transformed residences
into private paradises. British West Indies Style is a
lavish account of the interiors, architecture, and lifestyle
of the English colonial great houses and historic town
houses in the Caribbean—from the British Virgin
Islands, Jamaica, Nevis, St. Kitts, Antigua, Barbados,
and others, to the less-traveled islands of Bequia, British
Guyana, and Montserrat. Close to fifty private homes
are featured, with unique collections of antique, indigenous, and colonial furniture: a southern plantation
style scaled and refreshingly adapted to the airy,
sunny climate of the Windward and Leeward Islands.
Presenting a world rarely seen by visitors—the
homes of the islands’ affluent planters, both historical and contemporary—the English island styles
are elegant yet practical and accessible, giving ideas
for the use of local materials, painting and stenciling techniques, environment-enhancing design,
and indoor/outdoor living—all of which are ubiquitous in contemporary interior design.
Michael Connors , an expert in West Indies
antiques, is a contributor to numerous publications, including Art & Antiques, Antiques and Fine Art,
and The Magazine Antiques. He has written many
books, including Caribbean Houses: History, Style,
and Architecture (Rizzoli, 2009).

In this unique volume, Nancy Ellison captures James Levine’s and Otto Schenk’s
landmark production of The Ring of the Nibelung as it was performed in full for
the last time at the Metropolitan Opera in 2009. Wagner’s Ring is a supreme
challenge for any opera company, and no other staging matches the spirit of
romanticism of Schenk’s vision, which is based on original notes written by
Wagner. Ellison presents the world’s greatest operatic journey in a visual
progression that leads readers through the complete narrative of each music
drama: Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung.

Studio Job
THE BOOK OF JOB
JOB SMEETS AND NYNKE TYNAGEL
TEXTS BY VIKTOR & ROLF,
ALESSANDRO MENDINI, MURRAY MOSS,
GARETH WILLIAMS, AND NADJA SWAROVSKI
This first monograph on the work of
Studio Job is designed by the studio, resulting
in an extraordinary art object in a limited edition
of 3,000 copies.
The art objects and furniture developed by Job
Smeets and Nynke Tynagel bring a romantic, and
often monumental sensibility to contemporary industrial design. Celebrated in design and art fairs from
Milan to Miami, the pair’s creations—from sculpture to
graphic design—have attracted a cult following and are
in the permanent collections of important museums.
Studio Job’s work is drawn from an artistic tradition
that combines everyday objects with grand historical
themes. These inspirational sources have been
harnessed to create an unprecedented, virtually handmade volume that translates the process and product of
these designers.
The lavish package resembles a traditional, leatherbound bible, with hand-drawn illuminations of the
entire Book of Job from the King James Bible. Themes
present in the biblical Book of Job are echoed in the
studio’s project portfolio, translating the formal wit of
Smeets and Tynagel’s work in print. Photographs
taken expressly for the book, accompanied by neverbefore-seen sketches from the designers’ personal
sketchbooks, provide rare insight into their particular
approach to design and patternmaking and culminate
in a rare achievement in book design.
Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel are the principals of
Studio Job, and are based in Antwerp, Belgium, and
Breda, the Netherlands. Both are graduates of the Design
Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Viktor & Rolf
are fashion designers. Alessandro Mendini is a
designer and architect. Murray Moss is founder of
the design art company Moss. Gareth Williams is a

Fornasetti
THE COMPLETE UNIVERSE
EDITED BY BARNABA FORNASETTI
INTRODUCTION BY ANDREA BRANZI
TEXT BY MARIUCCIA CASADIO
This elaborate volume, authored by the designer’s
son, is a splendid celebration of one of the world’s
most inventive design minds.
Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti
(1913–1988) transformed everyday objects like
cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring
his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the
female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he
created a wide range of works, including idealized
architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and
provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury
liner Andrea Doria. Perhaps most famous for
dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, Fornasetti
was rediscovered in the 1980s and has remained
much sought-after by collectors worldwide.
Featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before
published, the monograph is designed to be an “artist’s
book” that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti’s
own approach to design. Fornasetti’s work is organized
by type and includes paintings, sculptures and etchings, furniture, graphics, textiles, glass, screens, trays,
and ceramics, as well as smaller categories. With
unique and exhaustive access to the archives, this epic
undertaking covers detailed technical, biographical,
and bibliographical information, including a list of
exhibitions and a register of the complete works. A
must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Barnaba Fornasetti is a designer and oversees his
father’s legacy. Andrea Branzi is a leading architect
and designer in Milan and has published a number of
books on design, including The Hot House: Italian
New Wave Design. Mariuccia Casadio is the art
consultant for Italian Vogue and the author of Dolce &
Gabbana: Fashion Album, among other books.

Mika Ninagawa
MIKA NINAGAWA
FOREWORD BY DAIDO MORIYAMA
CONTRIBUTIONS BY TAKASHI MURAKAMI,
ANTONIO MARRAS, ANNA SUI, AND
MIDORI MATSUI
This is the first monograph to be published in
the West on the work of Mika Ninagawa, one of
Japan’s most celebrated photographers.
The appeal of Mika Ninagawa’s photography can
best be summed up by a signature approach that is
bathed in vivid colors and is dreamlike in its manipulation of depth of field. Whether it is portraiture,
landscape, or still life, at the heart of her work are
themed looks that rotate between flora, fauna, landscapes, and glamorous young women to create Ninagawa’s lush fashion tableaux. A cultural superstar in
Japan, where celebrities seek her portraiture, she is
now breaking out in the West.
Ninagawa shoots her ornately clad human subjects
against baroque stylings that suggest a firm grasp of
practical scenography, and the work achieves a calm,
pictorial mastery. Portraits of local and international
personalities, from Chiaki Kuriyama to Beyoncé,
pepper her portfolio, and her distinct and vibrant
aesthetic has been very influential in the fashion world.
Lauded in Japan as an art and fashion photographer,
the assertion on Mika Ninagawa’s official website of
being “Japan’s most popular photographer” is no
idle boast. She is certainly the most prolific. Formally
represented by Tomio Koyama’s influential gallery,
Ninagawa’s images are widely exhibited in Japan and
abroad. She has had key installations at Colette in
Paris and Arndt and Partner in Berlin, and is a
frequent participant at Art Basel Miami. She received
the prestigious Kimura Ihei Award in 2001.
Daido Moriyama is a central figure in Japanese
postwar photography. Artist Takashi Murakami ’s
work is exhibited in prestigious museums around the
world. Antonio Marras is the artistic director of
KENZO. Anna Sui is a fashion designer. Midori Matsui
is an art critic and writer.

Dinka
THE GREAT CATTLE HERDERS OF
THE AFRICAN SUDAN
TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY
ANGELA FISHER AND CAROL BECKWITH
FOREWORD BY FRANCIS M. DENG
This seminal volume on the indigenous African
Dinka group is a landmark documentation of a
vanishing people in war-torn Sudan.
World-renowned photographers Angela Fisher and
Carol Beckwith have devoted their lives to documenting the rapidly disappearing ceremonies and
cultures of the indigenous people of Africa. In breathtakingly poignant images, they present a story that
started with their first visit to the Dinka thirty years ago.
Living in harmony with their cattle, the Dinka have
survived years of war only to find their culture on the
brink of vanishing forever. Where the White Nile River
reaches Dinka country, it spills over 11,000 square miles
of flood plain to form the Sudd, the largest swamp in the
world.In the dry season,it provides abundant pasture for
cattle, and this is where the Dinka set up their camps.
The men dust their bodies and faces with gray ash—
protection against flies and lethal malarial mosquitoes,
but also considered a mark of beauty. Covered with this
ash and up to 7’ 6” tall, the Dinka were referred to as
“gentle” or “ghostly” giants by the early explorers. The
Dinka call themselves “jieng” and “mony-jang,” which
means “men of men.”
Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith have spent a
lifetime studying the peoples of the Horn of Africa,
and have published their photography in a series of
acclaimed books as well as major magazine
features in Time, Life, Vogue, Marie Claire, and Elle.
They exhibit and lecture widely at prestigious
venues such as the American Museum of Natural
History, The Smithsonian Institution, and the Royal
Geographical Society in London. Francis M. Deng
is currently Special Adviser to the UN SecretaryGeneral on the Prevention of Genocide. He has
also served as a senior diplomat for Sudan, as
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (1976–80), and
as an ambassador to the United States.

Joy Division
PHOTOGRAPHS BY KEVIN CUMMINS
PREFACE BY BERNARD SUMNER
FOREWORD BY JAY McINERNEY
ESSAY BY SUE WEBSTER
The definitive look at one of the most iconic rock
bands of all time.
Joy Division pioneered a genre of music and defined
the look and sound of the post-punk era, and thirty
years after the suicide of their lead singer Ian Curtis,
they remain one of the most influential rock bands to
have come out of England. Between their infamous
live performances and two studio albums in the late
1970s, Joy Division set the Manchester scene alight,
established Factory Records as the most influential
label in pop music, and recorded some of the most
enduring songs of the era.
Kevin Cummins began his career just as the band
formed, and for the few short years of their career
was given closer access to them than any other
photographer. Joy Division collects more than two
hundred of his images of the band—sensitive photographs that capture their quiet introspection
offstage, their close relationships as bandmates, and
Curtis’s legendary energy in live performances—and
supplements the iconic images with concert tickets,
unreleased record sleeves, fan club badges, Factory
Records flyers, and other rare ephemera. This book
is the most definitive and heavily illustrated celebration of the band ever produced.
Kevin Cummins is the definitive chronicler of Manchester
music. His photographs have appeared in the NME,
Melody Maker, The Face, Mojo, and Rolling Stone, and his
work has been exhibited at galleries around the world.
Bernard Sumner is a founding member of Joy Division
and New Order. Jay McInerney is the author of such
novels as Bright Lights, Big City and The Good Life.
Sue Webster is an artist based in London.

Listen
PHOTOGRAPHS BY MARK SELIGER
ESSAYS BY MARK SELIGER AND
FRED WOODWARD
The highly acclaimed contemporary
photographer presents his private and evocative
nudes, landscapes, and close-up still lifes.
Listen is in a sense a memento mori, which follows in
the tradition of many photographers (Weston,
Stieglitz) and artists (Cézanne) who, at a certain age,
focus on the nude, landscapes, and still lifes. It highlights Mark Seliger’s personal reflections on seeing
and on the passage of time. Best known for his
portraits of celebrities and musicians, Listen is a
compilation of works from Seliger’s private collection
that captures the essence of light and shadow, and
whose photographs speak to us metaphorically.
The book includes more than ninety tritones, each
printed with a turn-of-the-century platinum palladium photographic process, a process that results
in a highly detailed, rich texture. Many of the
photographs were made especially for this book
and will be published for the first time. In 2009,
Seliger was the recipient of the Lucie Award for
outstanding achievement in portraiture.
Mark Seliger is an American photographer who
served as the chief photographer for Rolling Stone
from 1992 to 2002 and shot more than one hundred
covers for the magazine. Born in Amarillo, Texas, he
now lives in New York and works for several Condé
Nast publications, including GQ and Vanity Fair.
Seliger has published several books, including In My
Stairwell (Rizzoli, 2005). Fred Woodward is currently
the design director of GQ. He is a recipient of the
American Institute of Graphic Arts Medal—the
highest honor his profession bestows.

Todd Eberle
THE EMPIRE OF SPACE
FOREWORD BY GLENN O’BRIEN
ESSAY BY DAVID HICKEY
Contrasting ultramodernist photographs taken
over a thirty-year period constitute the first book
by one of the most celebrated photographers
working today.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1963, and first coming
into prominence in the early 1990s with his iconic
photographs of Donald Judd’s works and architecture, Todd Eberle’s photographs document the
disparate images that make up American architecture,
landscapes, and society and are united by a minimalist
aesthetic that runs through his work. Whether his
approach to a particular subject is earnest (an
unfurling flag) or kitsch (the Vegas strip), Eberle
brings to his photographs a heightened sense of precision, symmetry, and proportion.
The Empire of Space is a lavish look at Eberle’s career
and features many rare and never-before-published
portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and interiors. In the
spirit of Walker Evans, Eberle creates an enduring and
poetic portrait of America, the arts, and architecture
through thoughtfully contrasting and analogous
photographs.
This exciting and definitive book on Eberle’s illustrious legacy is sure to rank among the most important
publications to mix modernism, minimalism, and
photography.
Todd Eberle is a professional photographer and
artist based in New York City. He is currently the
photographer-at-large for Vanity Fair and regularly
contributes to the New York Times Style Magazine,
Interview, and the Wall Street Journal Magazine, among
others. Glenn O’Brien , in addition to writing the
column The Style Guy for GQ, was the editor of Andy
Warhol’s Interview and the New York bureau chief of
Rolling Stone. He produced and starred in Glenn
O’Brien’s TV Party and wrote and produced the film
Downtown 81, starring Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Tokujin Yoshioka
TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA
WITH KAZUO HASHIBA
The complete work of Tokujin Yoshioka, one of
the most innovative designers working today.
Based in Tokyo, Tokujin Yoshioka has built a career
using unconventional materials to create objects and
spaces. Often employing paper and glass, as well as
unusual elements, such as plastic drinking straws, his
studio’s work has achieved a cult following among
design enthusiasts. Leading design museums,
including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the
Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Centre
Pompidou, Paris, have Yoshioka’s work in their
permanent collections. He was the recipient of the
Designer of the Year Award at Design Miami in 2007.
A protégé of both Issey Miyake and the legendary
industrial designer Shiro Kuramata, Yoshioka established his own practice in 2000. Working with
Miyake for nearly two decades, Yoshioka completed
many projects and installations, and shop designs for
both a-poc and Issey Miyake. His collaborations have
expanded globally, and he now counts brands such as
Cartier, Hermès, BMW, and Swarovski as his clients.
In creations like the Honey-Pop Chair, the TokyoPop Chair, and the Panna Chair, Yoshioka’s designs
display a tactility and warmth not often associated
with minimalist works. His most recent experiments
transcend industrial design, occupying a space
between science and art, typified by the Venus chair,
where crystals were naturally grown over a fiber form
immersed in a glass tank filled with a solution.
Designed by Groovisions, the book includes more
than three hundred sketches, concept renderings, and
photographs. The projects are organized thematically,
with an emphasis on materials and process, and show
how Yoshioka transforms commonplace items to
create objects of tensile strength and sublime beauty.
Tokujin Yoshioka is the principal of Tokujin Yoshioka
Design, based in Tokyo. Kazuo Hashiba is a writer
and editor for design publications, a curator, and a
regular lecturer at various design institutes.

Muji
TEXTS BY JASPER MORRISON,
NAOTO FUKASAWA, AND KENYA HARA
This fascinating monograph provides an
unprecedented view into the inner workings of
Muji, one of the most influential brands leading
sustainable design.
A prescient advocate of sustainable consumption and
the matchless utility of good design, Muji’s founding
principle was to develop new and simple products at
reasonable prices by making the best use of materials
while minimizing their impact on the environment.
From a humble inaugural line of eight products
nearly three decades ago, the brand now sells nearly
five thousand different products in hundreds of its
own stores in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Known for the minimalist feel of its “no-brand”
wares, Muji ironically employs the biggest names in
contemporary industrial and fashion design, with
goods ranging from fashion to tableware to consumer
electronics. Muji’s natural and simple designs
provide an understated, contemporary elegance to
everyday life. The key to Muji’s success is the feeling

Billy Baldwin
THE GREAT AMERICAN DECORATOR
ADAM LEWIS
FOREWORD BY ALBERT HADLEY
The definitive book on the legendary decorator
Billy Baldwin, known as the “Dean of American
Decorating,” famous for his classical taste,
streamlined modernism, and brilliant use of color.
In the tradition of Rizzoli’s Albert Hadley and David
Hicks, this is the first fully illustrated account of the
career of Billy Baldwin (1903–1983), one of the most
important decorators of the twentieth century, whose
work has influenced contemporary designers from
Bunny Williams to Jeffrey Bilhuber.
A native of Baltimore, Baldwin’s work caught the eye
of eminent New York decorator Ruby Ross Wood.
She invited him to join her firm, saying his work
stood out “like a beacon of light in the boredom of the
houses around it.”
Baldwin’s style was a revelation—simultaneously
classical and modernist, tailored and clean, yet
dramatically colored, and above all American. An
enemy of clutter and conspicuous wealth, he favored
natural materials and comfortable furniture. The
drama in his rooms often came from color, as seen in
the dark brown lacquered walls of Cole Porter’s
library or the scarlet cotton print that covered Diana
Vreeland’s apartment. Immensely charming, Baldwin
was a popular addition to the high society of New
York. His clients included Bill and Deeda Blair, Babe
and Bill Paley, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
With a foreword by Baldwin’s former student Albert
Hadley, and enriched by never-before-published
transcripts of four 1974 lectures that Baldwin gave at
the Cooper-Hewitt, this is an important book for
anyone interested in interior design.
Adam Lewis is the author of Van Day Truex, Albert
Hadley, and The Great Lady Decorators. Albert Hadley
is one of the most important American interior
designers of the twentieth century.

A Perfectly Kept
House Is the Sign
of a Misspent Life
CREATIVE IDEAS AND REAL-LIFE TIPS FOR
MAKING YOUR HOME LIVED-IN, WARM,
WELCOMING, AND ONE-OF-A-KIND
(WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT
EVERYTHING BEING JUST RIGHT!)
MARY RANDOLPH CARTER
For all those who choose to live “imperfectly”
with the messy things they love, this book shows
how to do so creatively, happily, and with
considerable style ideas from leading designers.
A beautiful and inspiring volume, A Perfectly Kept
House Is the Sign of a Misspent Life focuses on living
well with everything that makes a house a home. If you
have been influenced by the picturesquely cluttered
studios of Pablo Picasso or Alexander Calder, or by the
art- and book-filled house of Vanessa Bell, this unique
style book will stimulate you with its creative ideas.
This volume explores how real-life tastemakers
(photographers, textile designers, fashion designers,
writers, artists) integrate their life and interiors to live
well with their passions, histories, conveniences, and
inconveniences. In inspiring essays, Mary Randolph
Carter muses on such key housekeeping concerns as
clutter versus mess; open windows; and unmade beds.
Combining practical tips with liberating philosophy—
”Don’t scrub the soul out of your home”; “Make room
for what you love”—this volume celebrates living
beautifully and happily, not messily.
Lavishly illustrated with intimate photographs of
different living spaces, Carter exalts in the beauty of
imperfection and in living perfectly in our “imperfect” homes. Life isn’t perfect—why should your
house be?
Mary Randolph Carter is an author, photographer,
designer, and longtime creative director for Ralph
Lauren. She is the author of For the Love of Old and
the Junk series of books.

Morris Lapidus
THE ARCHITECTURE OF JOY
DEBORAH DESILETS
Adored for his exuberant and original
architecture, more than fifty years of Morris
Lapidus’s designs are celebrated in this
first-ever monograph.
Known for inventing the postwar resort hotel with the
Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc in Miami Beach,
Morris Lapidus (1902–2001) is revered for his joyful
interpretation of modernist tenets through an American vernacular of spectacle and whimsy. Lapidus
enthusiastically embraced modernism’s formal
freedom and sensuality while rejecting its more rigid
principles, producing a unique style that seamlessly
blends baroque fantasia with modernism’s clean lines
and flowing spaces. His exuberant curving walls,
zigzagging facades, and deft manipulation of space
created dramatic forms that transform the moods of
their occupants. In 2000 Lapidus was honored by the
Cooper-Hewitt as an “American Original,” an award
created especially for him.
This comprehensive volume presents the highlights
of Lapidus’s extraordinary career. From seductive
modern shops and private residences to iconic hotels
and residential towers in New York, Miami Beach, the
Caribbean, and beyond, this iconoclast proves that
“too much is never enough.”
Deborah Desilets is the holder of the Lapidus
archives. She has lectured extensively both nationally
and internationally on his work.

Casa Modernista
A HISTORY OF THE BRAZIL
MODERN HOUSE
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALAN WEINTRAUB
TEXT BY ALAN HESS
FOREWORD BY
JOSÉ EDUARDO DE ASSIS LEFÈVRE
A rediscovery of one of the most powerful schools
of Modernism.
On the one hand sensual and warm, on the other
rational yet rhythmic, Brazilian Modernism is the
soulful alternative to its European parent, better
known for theoretical rigor and cold precision. Using
the modern materials of concrete and reinforced
glass, as well as wood and steel, Brazilians brought to
Modernism an unspoken philosophy that allowed for
the free flow of nature and built forms, so that the one
was not dominated by the other but rather embraced
by it. The undulating and amorphous buildings of
Oscar Niemeyer are perhaps the best known expressions of this philosophy, in which the typical straight
line of Europe’s Modern home becomes a graceful
arabesque. The story of the Brazil Modern house is a
tradition, a great flowering of talents and vision and a
revealing new experience of Modernism, that until
now has not been properly documented. Casa
Modernista is the first volume to comprehensively
cover this extraordinary architecture. Within its pages
is featured not only the work of Niemeyer, but also
that of all the most important modern architects of
this extremely rich, multifaceted nation, including
Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Jorge Machado Moreira,
Carlos Leao, Alvaro Vital Brazil, Paulo Mendes da
Rocha, Joao Walter Toscano, and Abrahao Sanovicz.
Alan Weintraub is a widely published architectural
photographer whose recent books include Oscar
Niemeyer Buildings. Alan Hess , an architect and architecture critic of the San Jose Mercury News, is co-author
of Julius Shulman: Palm Springs and author of Oscar
Niemeyer Buildings. José Eduardo de Assis Lefèvre is
a professor of architecture and urbanism at the
University of São Paulo.

Los Angeles inhabits a place of the mind as much as it does a physical
geographic space. A land of palm trees and movie stars, sunshine and glamour,
the city exists in the imagination as a paradise; of course, the reality is much
bigger than this. Through seventy reproductions of seminal and historic documents, Los Angeles in Maps presents the evolution of this almost mythical place.
Maps featured include historic Spanish explorers’ charts from as early as 1791,
as well as more recent topographic surveys, tourist guides, real estate maps,
bird’s-eye views, and more. Like the course of the Los Angeles River, the book
winds through essential terrain: the discovery of oil, the rise of Hollywood, the
streetcar system, Los Angeles Harbor, earthquakes, sprawl, and splendor.
Glen Creason is map librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library and cocurator of the landmark exhibition L.A. Unfolded: Maps from the Los Angeles
Public Library. D. J. Waldie is the author of the California Book Award–winner

Adjaye, however, made his reputation with a series of houses that he designed
for artists and art collections. These conceptually driven structures culminated
in 77E77, a recently completed town house in New York. Designed and built
over five years for the contemporary art collector Adam Lindemann, 77E77
was conceived as a sophisticated response to the specific site and the culturally
rich neighborhood. The result is a spatially complex series of interlocking
spaces, providing suitable rooms for both the challenging art collection it
houses and a young and growing family. With 77E77 Adjaye made a fresh and
successful contribution to the history of the modern home in New York: a
house for our new generation.
David Adjaye is the principal of Adjaye Associates, London, New York, and Berlin.
Adam Lindemann is the author of Collecting Contemporary. Robert Polidori is an
award-winning photographer, and his work is the subject of twelve books.

INTRODUCTION BY D. J. WALDIE
A luxurious showcase of the finest homes in the
oldest neighborhoods of Los Angeles and environs.
This volume offers an exclusive look into the classic
homes and gardens in the legendary neighborhoods
in and around Los Angeles. Famed for its lavish
homes and celebrity residents, one finds here a
panorama of richly detailed architectural styles, from
Victorian, Tudor, and Georgian, to Spanish Colonial,
Art Deco, and Streamline Moderne. Shown here is
the estate of the great Hollywood producer and
director Cecil B. DeMille, the former Danny Kaye
house in Beverly Hills, and the wonderful Arts and
Crafts masterwork by Greene and Greene—the
Gamble House—in Pasadena. These works and
others illustrate the wide range of period-revival
styles popular in Southern California during its
“Golden Age of Expansion” from 1899 to 1938.
Lush, all-new color photographs capture the
grandeur of these homes and their exquisite gardens
in the present day.
Douglas Woods , a Los Angeles native, has spent
the last twenty years as a book dealer, consultant,

The Language of
Towns and Cities
DHIRU A. THADANI
FOREWORD BY LÉON KRIER
INTRODUCTION BY ANDRÉS DUANY
The final word on the language of urban planning
and design.
The Language of Towns and Cities is a landmark publication that clarifies the language by which we talk
about urban planning and design. Everyday words
such as “avenue,” “boulevard,” “park,” and “district,”
as well as less commonly used words and terms such
as “sustainability,” “carbon-neutral,” or “Bilbao
Effect” are used with a great variety of meanings,
causing confusion among citizens, city officials, and
other decision-makers when trying to design viable
neighborhoods, towns, and cities. This magnificent
volume is the fruit of more than a decade of research
and writing in an effort to ameliorate this situation.
Abundantly illustrated with over 2,500 photographs,
drawings, and charts, The Language of Towns and
Cities is both a richly detailed glossary of more than
seven hundred words and terms commonly used in
architecture and urban planning, and a compendium of
great visual interest. From “A” and “B” streets to Zero
Lot and Zeitgeist, the book is at once comprehensive
and accessible. An essential work for architects, urban
planners, students of design, and all those interested in
the future of towns and cities, this is destined to become
a classic in its field.
Dhiru A. Thadani is a practicing architect and
teacher who has worked in North and South
America, Europe, and Asia, in urban design, town
planning, architectural design, landscape design,
and construction management. Léon Krier is a
renowned architect who has taught architecture and
town planning at the Royal College of Art, London;
Princeton University; Yale University; and the University of Virginia. Andrés Duany is one of America’s
most influential architects and town planners.

TEXTS BY PAOLA ANTONELLI, STEFANO BOERI,
ITALO LUPI, ALESSANDRO MENDINI, AND
FRANCA SANTI
The first-ever compilation of the most innovative
design magazine of the 1960s and 1970s.
Launched in 1961, Abitare is considered by some to
be the Wallpaper* magazine of its day: the source of
all things hip, important, and avant-garde, as well as
must-know information and must-have objects, many
of which have become design classics fifty years later.
This important compilation brings together the very
best of the Abitare universe: the most noteworthy
design developments of the last fifty years, with
emphasis on the 1960s and 1970s. Abitare was
founded to cover the growing influence of Italian design
but also to gather the most interesting trends worldwide, from the mod fashion in London, and the rise of
alternative lifestyles in New York and San Francisco,
to the development of industrial design in Milan.
Classic articles from Abitare are reproduced in full,
with their original English and Italian texts, while
new essays by noted writers and past editors reflect
on the influence of this trailblazing magazine.
Mario Piazza is the creative director of Abitare.

ESSAYS BY ROCHELLE STEINER, MICHAEL BRACEWELL,

A beautifully designed monograph surveying the career of artist
Glenn Brown.
Luxuriously filled with over 56 images, this book documents the bravura of
Brown’s brushwork and his unique evocation of images. Recognized for his
sheer, flat surfaces—intricately described yet deprived of mass, whose ambiguity is heightened further when altering colors, forms, or details taken from
such gestural artists as Frank Auerbach, Salvador Dalí, Chiam Soutine, or
Vincent Van Gogh—Brown creates a carnivalesque world where the rational
and irrational, the beautiful and the grotesque are brought together in a
vigorous state of play.
Glenn Brown was born in Northumberland, England, in 1966 and studied at the

ESSAYS BY RUSSELL FERGUSON, JOHN LOWDEN,
AND SARAH LOWNDES
An extensive monograph surveying the recent major works of artist
Richard Wright.
This fully illustrated publication presents Wright’s exquisite paintings and
drawings. Wright states “I wanted to get to the idea without the object getting
in the way.” This attitude led to paintings of extraordinary skill made directly
onto the wall that do away with the physicality of the canvas. This publication
records these special transient events where paintings have appeared, and for
the most part, no longer exist.
Winner of the prestigious Turner Prize (2009), Wright’s work was praised by
the judges for its “profound originality and beauty.”

The Cowboys Stadium
ART + ARCHITECTURE
TEXTS BY DAVID DILLON AND DAVID PAGEL
A celebration of America’s favorite football team’s newest home.
In the design and construction of the new Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, an
inspired mission to integrate world-class contemporary art into a state-of-theart football stadium created an instant architectural icon.

Nineteen works of contemporary art, most commissioned for specific sites
within the stadium building, were installed to dynamically complement the
architecture. The artists range from established stars of the art world like Olafur
Eliasson, Lawrence Weiner, and Mel Bochner, to up-and-coming names such as
Matthew Ritchie, Doug Aitken, and Teresita Fernández, among others, with the
resulting collection rivaling that of any world-class galleries.
Even without the art, the Cowboys Stadium is an engineering marvel. A twentyfirst-century retractable roofing system allows natural light and air to be
exposed onto the world’s largest column-free interior space. Lauded by the
Wall Street Journal as “simply mesmerizing,” the Cowboys Stadium is a work
of art in its own right. This volume captures the exhilaration of the synergy of
art and architecture in this lauded landmark.

related. Thus, each entry points to alternate versions, covers, riffs, and influences
effectively expanding the total number to 10,000. From the Beatles to Beyoncé,

Tunes
A GRAPHIC HISTORY OF
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
EDITED BY VINCENT BRUNNER
FOREWORD BY MATHIAS MALZIEU
Engaging as well as informative, Tunes traces the
rise of rock and roll through the format of comics.
Capitalizing on the immense popularity of the graphic
novel, Vincent Brunner has assembled illustrators and
cartoonists to visually depict the history of rock music
through comics. This unique approach will not only
appeal to those who grew up with the bands, but also
to an entirely new generation of budding fans.
Full of colorful personalities from larger-than-life divas
to modest men who made it big, the story of rock is
compelling and diverse. From Elvis and Little Richard
to the British Invasion in the 1960s and onward
through the eras of punk, heavy metal, new wave, and
grunge, this series of black-and-white graphic depictions ranges from hilariously personal to absolutely
wild. Each strip is accompanied by humorous yet
informative text recounting the early struggles,
successes, and challenges of each band. Also included
is a selective discography for each band or artist, highlighting their biggest hits or most memorable songs.
Vincent Brunner is a journalist who specializes in
music and comics. He was music editor of Rolling
Stone France. Mathias Malzieu is the lead singer
of Dionysos and also the best-selling author of a
cult novel soon to be published in English, The Boy
with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart.

Stickers
FROM PUNK ROCK
TO CONTEMPORARY ART
DB BURKEMAN
CONTRIBUTIONS BY SHEPARD FAIREY
AND CARLO MCCORMICK
Stickers features more than 2,000 stickers from
the exploding, vibrant world of street art, DIY
culture, music, and branding.
Cheap, democratic, easy to “tag,” and not always fast
to fade, the sticker has been an ever-present
medium—from the New York and London underground punk scene to skate culture and political
expression. Celebrating the graphics of this street-art
medium, Stickers illustrates the timeline of this
pastime, from counterculture to politics.
Stickers includes more than 2,000 sticker graphics
organized by categories and themes, with works by
such diverse artists as Raymond Pettibon and Jenny
Holzer; street artists such as Banksy, Neck Face, and
Barry McGee; and amateur artists who “tag” the
streets anonymously. With texts from artists and
writers, including Swoon, Stanley Donwood, ESPO,
Clayton Patterson, Carlo McCormick, and Michael
Betancourt, Stickers illustrates not only the visual and
social history of sticker art but also the personal relationship that street artists and pedestrians alike have
with stickers.
The book includes eight sheets of stickers, most of
which are original works, by artists such as Barry
McGee, Ryan McGinness, and José Parlá.
DB Burkeman fell in love with stickers and street
art at an early age via skateboarding and punk rock,
but made a name for himself DJing between his
homes in London and New York. Shepard Fairey is
an artist and graphic designer who is known around
the world for his “André the Giant Has a Posse”
sticker campaign and the Barack Obama “Hope”
poster. Carlo McCormick is a curator, cultural
critic, and the author of numerous books. He is the
senior editor at Paper Magazine.

Louise Moon, a leading wedding planner, shows how to “green” the most
important day in any couple’s life. From one or two thoughtful features, like
using organic, locally grown food for the reception, to more imaginative solutions for making the entire event as low impact as possible, The Natural
Wedding has everything couples need to make their special event naturally
romantic, conscientious, and sustainable.
The book shows that green weddings can be even more stylish than a traditional wedding and covers green options for all aspects of the big day:
menus, the location, invitations, bridal party attire, flowers, the ceremony,
the reception, gifts, the honeymoon, and beyond (since living “green”
doesn’t stop at “I do”).

Small Eco Houses
LIVING GREEN IN STYLE
FRANCESC ZAMORA MOLA
Fresh perspectives on how good design can
create stylish yet ecologically sound living spaces
in small-scale homes.
Anyone who has faced the challenges of limited living
space will find inspiration in this survey of the latest
trends in environmentally sensitive, small-scale residential designs. More than fifty residential spaces are
profiled—from woodsy houses and repurposed barns
to cool apartments and urban lofts—both inside and
out. Most of the projects were designed by up-andcoming architects, and each design proves that smallscale efficiency as well as beautiful, thoughtful design
can overcome the apparent constraints of a small
setting. Environmental impact is a growing concern,
so each project was chosen because of its ecological
sensitivity.
Each case history describes the challenges confronting
the designer and the solutions. Creating color
schemes to enhance the feeling of openness, taking
advantage of high ceilings to make multiple levels, and
using collapsible furniture and sliding doors to maximize space are some of the design solutions that can
be applied in any situation.
Filled with beautiful color photographs and helpful
floorplans, this book is a remarkable showcase of how
good design can transform any small space into a
comfortable, modern—and environmentally sensitive—home.
Francesc Zamora Mola is an interior architect who
has worked for several innovative architecture firms
in San Francisco. Since returning to Barcelona in
2005, he has written about design and architecture
for many of Spain’s leading publications.

The Natural World
PORTRAITS OF EARTH’S
GREAT ECOSYSTEMS
THOMAS D. MANGELSEN
FOREWORD BY DR. JANE GOODALL
One of the world’s foremost wildlife
photographers explores six continents and ten
ecosystems to celebrate Earth’s diversity of life
with stunning, panoramic photography.
In The Natural World, celebrated nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen has selected his most
important panoramic images—from a wildebeest
migration on the plains of the Serengeti to the
penguins of Antarctica, and from the grizzlies of
Alaska to the frozen landscape of the polar bears on
Hudson Bay. Featuring excerpts from his journals
detailing his experience in the field, this book offers
an intimate look into the natural world.
With a foreword written by renowned primatologist
and U.N. Messenger for Peace Dr. Jane Goodall, this
book is a celebration of wildness and its intrinsic
value. The Natural World is a record of Earth’s last
great locales, one that will inspire present and future
generations with the message that what we have can,
and must, be saved.
Thomas D. Mangelsen is among the most distinguished natural history photographers in the world.
American Photo recently named him one of the “100
Most Important People in Photography.” In 2000,
he co-founded The Cougar Fund, a nonprofit
created to raise awareness for and to protect
America’s greatest cat. Dr. Jane Goodall , known for
her landmark 1960 chimpanzee study, is the most
recognizable figure in conservation today.

Flywater
THE FLY-FISHING RIVERS
OF THE WEST
GRANT MCCLINTOCK
The magic and majesty of America’s greatest
western fly-fishing rivers.
Flywater brings us to the iconic creeks, springs, freestone rivers, and tailwaters that make the American
West the world’s premier destination for fly fishing.
Grant McClintock’s first book struck a chord with
fishermen, and fifteen years later he takes the reader
back to these fabulous places—from the storied
Henry’s Fork to the Yellowstone to the Thompson
River in British Columbia. With extraordinary new
photography and wisdom, McClintock revisits these
home waters and discovers countless others as well.
Flywater is a gallery of moments and places. From
Idaho and Montana to Oregon, Washington, and
British Columbia, McClintock’s rich photography of
trout and steelhead waters surrounded by beautiful
Western landscapes creates a compelling journey that
the reader, whether fisherman or non-fisherman, will
thoroughly enjoy.
For the serious fly fisherman, this is an album of
shared experiences. For the uninitiated, it is an
artfully crafted guidebook to an exotic new world that
really does exist on the streams and rivers of the
American West.
Grant McClintock divides his time between his
native Oklahoma and Montana. Over the years he
has fished, guided, and photographed many of the
great trout, steelhead, and salmon rivers in the
United States. He is also the author of two books,
Flywater—one of the definitive books in the fishing
literary canon—and Watermark.

Written by an outstanding team of historians and distinguished officers,
including the current Commandant USCG Admiral Thad Allen, The Coast
Guard has more than 350 pages that tell the story from its origins as both the
Revenue Cutter Service and U.S. Lifesaving Service to lighthouses, ice
breakers, and the heroes of Hurricane Katrina. Essays on history, search and
rescue, and aviation all have one common focus: the incredibly trained and
highly motivated people that make up the Coast Guard.
Lieutenant Commander Tom Beard, USCG (Retired) , split his military flying
career between a Vietnam tour as a Navy carrier pilot and work as a Coast Guard
rescue pilot. He possesses an airline transport pilot’s rating and Coast Guard
Masters license. Walter Cronkite , named “the most trusted man in America,”
was an iconic former TV broadcast journalist whose accomplishments won him

The Vietnam War was one of the defining events of the twentieth century, and
a formative part of the turbulent 1960s. The Vietnam War: A Chronology of War
is a lavishly illustrated, all-services chronology of the war—serving as both a
reference tool and a handsome addition to any military history collection. This
book presents a day-by-day summary of events from the prewar role of military
advisors to the fall of Saigon in 1975. With a foreword by Vietnam veteran and
U.S. Senator Jim Webb, USMC (Retired), this volume includes one of the most
powerful voices from this often-unsung generation of servicemen and women.
After thirty years as an Army infantry officer, including a combat tour in
Vietnam, Raymond K. Bluhm retired in 1993 as a colonel. Bluhm has written
and edited several books, including U.S. Army: A Complete History, The Army,
U.S. Army Infantry, and World War II: A Chronology of War. Senator Jim Webb
was a highly decorated Marine combat officer in Vietnam and later Secretary
of the Navy. Webb is the author of Fields of Fire.

In New York: Five Points, readers will find themselves flung back to
1863, when the New York Draft Riots, protesting the new laws
passed by Congress to draft men to fight in the American Civil
War, reach their peak.
Five Points is the epicenter of this battle. Those who neither fight nor
succeed in boarding a ship are hiding in cellars, praying in one of the
many languages of Five Points. Among the semi-destroyed buildings,
a man roams about in the shadows. Covered with a black coat, he
could pass totally unobserved if it weren’t for a peculiar tattoo on the
back of his hand. He is the last of the insurrectionists but nobody
knows it, and his secret will die with him. Or maybe not.

LUCIANA BOCCARDI
An intriguing and curious trip inside the world of colors, told through
legends, stories, and anecdotes.
Why do we say things like “black day,” “green with envy,” “white lie,” “seeing
red,” and “feeling blue?” Why is it that green is associated with hope and blue
with meditation? And why is red the color of power? Is white really the color
of innocence or is it also...?
These questions have been the focus of research by scholars, scientists, poets
and “soul-searchers,” and this book aims to arrive at an understanding of the
symbols, meanings, history, and associations of these colors, and ultimately
produce a portrait of ourselves.

“Fashion is logic, method, system. It is work. Indeed, fashion involves many
different kinds of work: that of the draftsman, the dressmaker and the tailor, the
artisan, the technician... Enthusiasm and dedication are needed. And curiosity,
in the sense of a continual search for stimuli. And culture in the sense of an
understanding of other people’s experiences, of the expressions of human
knowledge, of different horizons and the most varied ways of life. A brief word
of advice? Explore and experiment, work and know exactly what you want.
And above all, never forget that fashion is also a dream.”—Gianfranco Ferré

A trip across time along a golden labyrinth leading to the birth of preColumbian civilizations.
More than 250 masterpieces from the most important museums of Peru reveal

The force of unknown symbols, represented by the finds pictured in this book,
leads to the understanding of the spirituality of these ancient peoples. The mystic
dimension of life and death lived through a deep relation with the gods is evoked
by the outstanding images which picture their connection with the afterlife.

FINLEY, AND ELIZABETH ALEXANDER
FOREWORD BY HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR.
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE STUDIO MUSEUM IN HARLEM
A century of Harlem, through the eyes and
lenses of some of the most important artists and
photographers of the twentieth century.
The vibrant and bustling neighborhood occupying the
upper reaches of Manhattan has been at the crossroads
of the artistic, literary, and political currents of the
African-American community since the early days of the
twentieth century. Home to writers and revolutionaries,
artists and agitators, Harlem has been both subject and
inspiration for countless photographers. This sweeping
photographic survey includes nearly two hundred
images that tell the story of Harlem—its distinctive landscape and extraordinary inhabitants—throughout the
twentieth century. Featured artists include: James
Latimer Allen, Jules Allen, Eve Arnold, Alice Attie,
Cornell Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson,
Roy DeCarava, Leonard Freed, Gordon Parks, James
VanDerZee, Carl Van Vechten, and Weegee.
The book features essays by leading scholars of AfricanAmerican studies and art—including Deborah Willis,
Cheryl Finley, Elizabeth Alexander, and Dr. Henry
Louis Gates, Jr.—which are paired with the work of
eighty artists and photographers, affording this
enclave the richest chronicling in its history.
Thelma Golden is director and chief curator of the
Studio Museum in Harlem. Deborah Willis is a
professor of Africana studies at New York University.
Cheryl Finley is associate professor of art and African
American studies at Cornell University. Elizabeth
Alexander is an American poet, essayist, and professor.
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is a renowned scholar and
writer. He is editor-in-chief of the Oxford African American Studies Center, and The Root, an online news magazine dedicated to coverage of African-American news,
culture, and genealogy.

Miles Davis
VINCENT BESSIÈRES AND
FRANCK BERGEROT
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS
The most comprehensive book on the artist to
date, offering an insightful look into the legendary
musician and his enormous impact on the
development of jazz.
Miles Davis explores the life and art of one of the
greatest visionaries in jazz history—through photographs, handwritten musical scores, album covers,
posters, and more—cementing his reputation as the
embodiment of cool, both on- and offstage. To
examine his extraordinary career is also to examine
the history of jazz from the mid-1940s through the
early 1990s, as Davis was crucial in almost every
important innovation and stylistic development
during that time. His genius paved the way for these
changes, both with his own performances and recordings, and by choosing collaborators with whom he
forged new directions.
Miles Davis—trumpeter, bandleader, and composer—
was one of the most important figures in jazz history.
He was born in a well-to-do family in St. Louis in
1926 and died in a Los Angeles hospital in 1991. He
was at the forefront of several major developments in
jazz music, including cool jazz, hard bop, free jazz,
and fusion. Davis worked with many of the greatest
jazz musicians of all time, including Ron Carter, John
Coltrane, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Quincy
Jones, Charlie Parker, and Max Roach, among
numerous others.
Vincent Bessières is a member of the French
l’Académie du Jazz and an author and editor who
writes frequently and with expertise on jazz.
Franck Bergerot is editor-in-chief of Jazz Magazine/
Jazzman. He recently organized a complete collection of Miles Davis’s work for the Masters of Jazz
label and is the author of several books.

Tarzan!
PASCAL DIBIE
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
MUSEE DE QUAI DE BRANLY
An exploration of the legendary hero’s journey
through pop culture.
Apeman. Lord of the Jungle. Eco-warrior. Whatever
you call him, Tarzan is, above all else, a legend. First
created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in Tarzan of the Apes
in 1912, Tarzan was more than a European orphan
adopted by gorillas in darkest Africa. He quickly
became a legendary opponent of colonialism, a valiant
symbol of equality, a dangerous yet undeniably attractive lover, and a seemingly immortal hero to us all.
Tarzan, who has starred in countless books, movies,
radio and television programs, and in recent years
Broadway productions and video games—not to
mention hundreds of toys, games, and ephemera—
holds a unique place in popular culture and in
society. As times changed, so did Tarzan and his
world: changing mores demanded Jane wear more
clothing; developing ethnic tolerances shaped
Tarzan’s relationship with his African friends and
enemies; and people began to see Tarzan’s
thoughtful coexistence with nature and his animal
brethren as a bastion of environmentalism. Pascal
Dibie, along with other scholars, shine’s a critical
yet celebratory light on Tarzan and Burroughs, and
explores the relationship between the character
and his times.
An amazing retrospective of the legendary character,
Tarzan! is filled with scenes from the many films,
including photographs of stars such as Johnny
Weissmuller, Buster Crabbe, Christopher Lambert,
Maureen O’Hara, and of course, Cheetah, in addition to
classic comic strips, vintage book jackets, retro Viewmaster scenes, and art created especially for this book.
Pascal Dibie is an author and ethnologist teaching
at the University of Paris.

Andy Warhol:
Making Money
PREFACE BY BERKELEY REINHOLD
CONTRIBUTIONS BY VINCENT FREMONT
AND DEBORAH HARRY
A whimsically designed facsimile of a
unique book of drawings made by Andy Warhol
that celebrates the dollar sign as lingua franca.
Few artists made money their concern as openly as
Andy Warhol. He made many pronouncements on
his fascination with the dollar (“Big-time art is bigtime money”), both as a symbol and as something he
cherished, and so it was only natural that the dollar
sign itself, one of the most recognized symbols
anywhere in the world, that international denominator of currency, should enter the Pop art pantheon.
Created in 1981 as a Christmas gift for Berkeley Reinhold, the cousin of the visionary curator and critic
Henry Geldzahler and the daughter of one of Warhol’s
closest friends, this book begins with simple outlines
and curves, and builds, with a flipbook-like genesis,
from unique abstract drawings to recognizable images
of the artist’s inimitable dollar sign. Lighthearted, but
with a hint of serious intent, it is an astute expression
of how Warhol reveled in the vicissitudes of art and
commerce, fortune and circumstance.
Berkeley Reinhold is an agent and head of music
business affairs at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment in Beverly Hills. Vincent Fremont was
Warhol’s confidant and long-time business associate. Deborah Harry is a singer-songwriter most
famous for being the lead singer of Blondie.

Indian art has gone through a boom period paralleling the country’s extraordinary economic rise from an agrarian state to a high-tech axis of the new global
economy. With new money came bigger gallery spaces and bigger art—the scale
of ambition led to a break onto the international art market. The new art also
often reflects a background of religious divide and violence. The exploration of
identity, a common enterprise for artists internationally, is all the more challenging in the context of India under transformation. The book features the
richest collection of contemporary art assembled to date. It brings together the
most compelling and interesting artists from this young and vibrant art scene,
some of whom have not shown outside their native country.
Zehra Jumabhoy , the leading authority on contemporary Indian art, writes
on such universal themes as gender politics, national stereotypes, and the
collision between old traditions and the computer age.

Since the early 1990s, New York–based artist Charles LeDray has become known
for his miniaturized sculptures of hand-stitched clothing, carved human bone,
and thimble-sized ceramics. Their intimate scale and materials poignantly
evoke allusions to childhood memory, gender and class stereotypes, and
wonder in the everyday. This volume accompanies a mid-career survey exhibition organized by Jen Mergel for the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.
Jen Mergel is senior curator of contemporary art at the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston. Adam D. Weinberg is director of the Whitney Museum of American

Alfred Stieglitz
New York
BONNIE YOCHELSON
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SEAPORT MUSEUM
Iconic images of the city from one of the masters
of photography collected for the first time in a
charming homage to lost New York.
Here is “The City of Ambition”—the New York that
inspires dreams, the Gotham of the early twentieth
century, when grand skyscrapers sprouted everywhere amid columns of steam. Alfred Stieglitz—the
legendary art impresario and husband of Georgia
O’Keeffe—forged a paean to his native city, finding
inspiration on the streets, from the harbor ferry, and
in the high-rise views. In her essay, respected art
historian Bonnie Yochelson places Stieglitz’s work
within the context of the burgeoning commercial
world around him and other artists of the period.
Stieglitz witnessed a key period in New York’s
history when the city suddenly transformed into a
modern metropolis. As a child, he grew up in an
upper Fifth Avenue brownstone still surrounded by
empty lots and dirt roads. Naturally, he was fascinated by the monumental buildings rising around
him, and you can sense his wonder in these images.
Among the classic buildings he so artfully captured
here are the (now demolished) Madison Square
Gardens, the Flatiron, Rockefeller Center, the
Waldorf Astoria, the Chrysler, and the Empire State.
His images formed archetypes that would go on to
shape the imagination of generations. This intimate
volume makes for a beautiful souvenir of timeless
New York, a city of striving and dreaming.
Bonnie Yochelson , formerly the curator of prints
and photographs at the Museum of the City of New
York, has authored many books, including Berenice
Abbott: Changing New York. The Seaport Museum is
located on the East River in lower Manhattan and
hosts more than 250,000 visitors each year. Its
mission is to tell the story of how New York City’s
great natural harbor became the gateway to America.

Long acknowledged as a master builder of art spaces, Tadao Ando faced a new
constructional challenge with the renovation of two of Venice’s iconic buildings—and succeeded brilliantly. Approached by French magnate François
Pinault to renovate two disparate but equally high-profile and challenging
Venetian structures to house his peerless collection of contemporary art—the
Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana—Ando deftly employed his signature process to produce two elegant interiors from highly complicated historic
sites. At the Palazzo Grassi, prominently located on the Grand Canal, Ando’s
quiet but expert renovation of the eighteenth-century rooms harmonizes
contemporary art with historical Venetian spaces. At the Punta della Dogana,
the Venetian Republic’s original customs warehouse, the large-scale space was
subtly subdivided into refined rooms for installation art. The overall effect of
the two different renovations is a harmony of old and new, of history and innovation—a result that can only be from the hands of Tadao Ando.

Thomas Phifer and Partners is recognized for its distinct transformation of
modernism. The essence of timeless buildings—simplicity—is achieved
through thoughtful responses to the natural environment, study of the human
ecology of the site, and a search for appropriate modes of construction, which
dictate the forms, spaces, and appearance of buildings. The firm believes that
every structure should occupy a harmonious place within its surroundings by
balancing human needs and environmental imperatives.

The Allure of
the Automobile
DRIVING IN STYLE, 1930–1965
RONALD T. LABACO, WITH KEN GROSS
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE HIGH MUSEUM OF ART
A celebration of the finest designs of the
Golden Age of automotive design.
The Allure of the Automobile presents eighteen of the
world’s rarest and most brilliantly conceived cars
from 1930 to the mid-1960s, including masterpieces
from Bugatti, Dusenberg, Delage, Porsche, MercedesBenz, Jaguar, and Ferrari. Created for the privileged
few (and in some cases previously owned by Clark
Gable and Steve McQueen), these luxurious, custombuilt automobiles embodied speed, style, and
elegance; they influenced and were influenced by
contemporary art, architecture, fashion, and design.
Many of the featured automobiles are one of a kind or
were built largely by hand and in small numbers.
The racing motorcar is a potent symbol of twentiethcentury modernity, embodying speed, style, elegance,
and good design. Whether a practical tool or part of a
celluloid fantasy, the automobile remains a powerful
symbol embedded in our collective cultural
consciousness. This book contains an illustrated text
with period photographs of the cars, exploring the
evolution of the automobile from the opulent and
luxurious French custom coachwork models of the
early 1930s to post–World War II triumphs of
German engineering to the supremacy of Italian
sport-car design in the second half of the century.
Ronald T. Labaco is curator of decorative arts and
design at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Ken Gross
is an award-winning author of six books and a contributor to many major automotive publications.

The Twentieth-Century
Movements
LUCA MOLINARI AND ELENA MANZO
This is a masterful and richly-illustrated guide to
the movements and lively styles that marked the
twentieth century.
This book examines the international architectural
culture throughout the twentieth-century—a historic
period that, perhaps more than other periods in
human history, produced innovation, utopias, ideas
and projects that strongly shifted our way of living
and thinking.
The twentieth-century was the great triumph of
modernity at all levels of human life on a global scale,
and as such, architecture and its leading players were
called upon to radically rethink architectural tools,
language and ideas. This book thematically brings
together the movements, authors and key works that
played a significant role in thinking and producing in
fundamental and original ways. This includes
subjects such as: the origins of the Modern with the
English Arts and Crafts Movement and the German
Werkbund; Futurism; Soviet culture; the Bauhaus
and the diverse tendencies of the Modern Movement
in the first half of the 1900s; the Second World War
and reconstruction; CIAM; Brutalism; Nordic
Empiricism and Neo-realism; and then, radical
culture; Neo-Rationalism; Post-Modernism; Deconstructionism; and Minimalism. The material
continues through to the present day where—as
current movements are not recognizable—key words
are offered to the reader, such as Neo-Vernacular,
Ecotopia, and the Neo-International Style.
Luca Molinari is an architectural historian and critic,
associate professor at the Napoli-Aversa Faculty of

Roy Lichtenstein
EDITED BY GIANNI MERCURIO
TEXTS BY ROBERT PINCUS-WITTEN,
FREDERIC TUTEN, ANNABELLE TÉNÈZE
One of the most complete monographs of the
artist to date, this volume depicts the career of
Roy Lichtenstein, one of the finest American
pop artists of his era.
Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was the master of the
stereotype, and the most sophisticated of the major
pop artists. An emblematic protagonist of the New
York art scene of the second half of twentieth century,
he became a legend in his prolific lifetime. Even now,
thirteen years after his death, his works and lexicon of
symbols, subjects and themes continue to intrigue the
art world.
Published on the occasion of the major exhibition at
the Milan Triennial, this monograph covers the entire
artistic development of Roy Lichtenstein, through
more than 250 paintings and sculptural works, a rich
photographic section including unpublished material, and critical text. The reproductions of Lichtenstein’s work are large-format, in full color. The
insightful quotes and most of the references to his
personal life serve to explain how his art evolved or
how he came to be in a particular place in the world.
This deluxe edition (large square format with padded
cover) offers a dynamic and provocative look at the
works of Lichtenstein through a powerful combination of text and visual elements. It will appeal to
Lichtenstein fans, critics, dealers, and anyone interested in contemporary art.

PHOTOGRAPHS BY GRAZIANO VILLA
The first book to take readers inside the mansions
and estates of Champagne today.
Champagne, the king of wines, opens the doors to its
most legendary homes. Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger,
Krug, Moët & Chandon, Perrier Jouët, and so on; all
the most famous Champagne makers, together with
the homes of some discreet neighbors, for the first
time invite us to discover an art of living that has never
before been revealed.
A preserved style in which daily refinement blends
with the splendor of history, in which the winemaking
soul strives unceasingly to honor an exquisite style
worthy of the Enlightenment. Brought together into a
single volume, more than twenty prestigious buildings and other lesser-known ones are presented.
Châteaux and manors listed in the registry of Historic
Monuments, known hitherto only for their cellars and
the names of their vintages.
Exterior, interior, detail and landscape photographs
capture the splendor of these homes whose intimate
interiors had, until the publication of this book, only
been shared by their owners with a few guests drawn
from the world’s prestigious ranks.
Daniel Rey collaborates with several magazines

Alongside painting, sculpture is a fundamental part of the work of
Paladino, who is considered one of the most well-known representatives of

out as one of the most significant tendencies of Post-modernism, challenging
the artistic experimentalism of previous decades and advocating a return to
more traditional expressive practices.

Niki de Saint Phalle was an eclectic artist whose entire oeuvre strives to
communicate the message that art is not a linear course of growth and
perfecting, but a continuous quest for sensations. She was an artist who poured
mythology, creative energy, feminist ideology, personal anxieties, political
demands, a call for freedom and a breaking of the mold into her work. This
catalogue recreates the course of her development with attention to the
chronology of the events from the Shooting Paintings, the expression of the
great unrest of those years, and the Nanas, in which the artist attempts to
recreate the realm of childhood, to the Tarot Garden in Garavicchio, in which
Saint Phalle wed her artistic language to the language of architecture, and the
Spiritual Path of her Californian Diary.

video and action art in the post-media age. Gabriella Belli, director of the Mart
of Trento and Rovereto, tells of the “meaning” of the contemporary museum.
Paco Barragán, cultural broker, describes art fairs and explains what is understood by the term neobiennialism. And ample space is also devoted to the critical definitions of contemporary art, to the art market and the new way of
collecting, to the relationship between art and politics, to the new, confusing
frontiers of photography. Each of these major chapters is followed, in alphabetical order, by the biographies of dozens of contemporary artists, illustrated
through their most significant works.

Ermenegildo Zegna
1910-2010
AN ENDURING PASSION FOR
FABRIC AND INNOVATION
TEXTS BY JAMES HILLMAN, CLAUDIA
D’ARPIZIO, SUZY MENKES, D.T. MAX,
AND MARIANO MAUGERI
The extraordinary story of the first century of a
great Italian fashion house that has always been a
paragon of style.
Gorgeously designed, handsomely bound, and abundantly illustrated, this is the first book ever to present
the 100-year history of a leader in men’s luxury
clothing and one of the oldest business families in
Italy. As a family business, Ermenegildo Zegna goes
back to the second half of the nineteenth century.
Angelo Zegna a watchmaker by trade, decided to
open a wool mill. Of his ten children it was the last,
Ermenegildo, born in 1892, who took over what was
to become one of the best-known and most dynamic
family businesses in Italy.
The extensive historical reconstruction of the early
decades of Ermenegildo Zegna S.p.A. is followed by a
detailed description of the fabrics, techniques, and
custom tailoring of its most exclusive garments.
Numerous images illustrate the lands providing the
raw materials: Australia, Peru, and Mongolia. Just as
spectacular is the photo album of the celebrities and
spokespersons wearing Zegna, the international advertising campaigns, the list of awards won, and Zegnasponsored sports and cultural affairs (red carpets,
openings, car races, environmental and sports events).
James Hillman is an American psychologist.
Claudia D’Arpizio is a cultural analyst and international fashion expert. Suzy Menkes , who hails
from the U.K., has been a fashion reporter for the
International Herald Tribune since 1988. She is considered the doyenne of fashion journalism. D.T. Max is

Pearls
HUBERT BARI AND DAVID LAM
A beautifully illustrated book that presents these
gems in all their natural luster and social value.
Although it appears that it is no longer amongst the
mysteries of the world, the fact remains that there is
still a lot unknown about the pearl. We barely understand how it is formed, and it has recently been
discovered that all shells can produce them. As a
consequence, a whole range of pearls may exist
reflecting the immense variety of mollusks and shells
in the world.
In Pearls, the history of the pearl is recounted once
more, now taking into account these new scientific
discoveries. This book also explores the financial
stakes associated with cultured pearls, managing to
effortlessly combine scientific, historical, cultural,
and practical information.
Along with showcasing 350 color photographs, this
book aims to provide simple and clear facts with
documented explanations reflecting the latest
research. Professionals and fans of jewellery will find
this beautifully illustrated book an entertaining read
and a valuable resource.
Hubert Bari is a writer and curator. A cultural
historian with research interests extending from
mineralogy to decorative arts, he is the author of Pink
Pearl, also published by Skira (2007). David Lam is a
chemical engineer and an organizer of cultural
events. He is overseeing the creation of a museum of
natural history in Qatar.

Baby Cashmere is an extremely precious fiber exclusively obtained from the
underfleece of Hircus goat kids, which is gathered by means of a delicate and
completely harmless combing procedure that is done only once in a goat’s life,
before the kids are twelve months old. It takes the fleece of nineteen kids to
make just one pullover. This book tells the story of Loro Piana’s yearly journey
to purchase baby cashmere in Mongolia. More than one hundred vibrant fullcolor photographs, presented in large-scale format, transport the reader to this
beautiful country, giving insight into the daily life of Mongolian breeders.
Nature lovers, fine-photography aficionados, and armchair travelers alike will
appreciate this fascinating exploration under endless skies and over golden
deserts in search of the ultimate in genuine quality.

The fashion designer Tamy Tazi has set her own special mark of distinction on
contemporary Moroccan dress: ceremonial or everyday caftans, djellabas,
jackets and serouals. Her models embrace two traditions: one is the haute
couture that has long been a mainstay of Tamy Tazi’s business as Yves SaintLaurent’s representative in Morocco, the other is the Moroccan heritage. The
union of these vital sources has generated a new style in caftans that daringly
distinguish themselves from either parent.
This book features an outstanding collection of more than 100 rare pieces,
reproduced at large-format and with accurate technical specifications. A very
useful tool for fashion students and designers, the high quality reproductions
and paper make this book suitable for any coffee table.

is confirmed winning the first prize in the brooch category for the unique piece
“COMETA” at the 5th Tahitian Pearl Trophy Middle East. Lavishly illustrated

Yasuzō Nojima
EDITED BY FILIPPO MAGGIA
One of the most important figures in the history of modern
Japanese photography.
Yasuzō Nojima’s works range from kaiga shugi shashin (pictorial photography)
to shink shashin (new/straight photography) of the early twentieth century.
His earliest works are characterized by a density and heaviness echoing that of
pictorialism, based in his subtle sensitivity and the pigment printing process,
the mainstream printing method of that time. In the 1930s, his style took a
drastic turn under the influence of new trends in German photography, shifting
toward cropped gelatin silver prints in pursuit of a form of expression that is
unique to the medium.

Greta Garbo
BEAUTY, MYTH, ELEGANCE
EDITED BY STEFANIA RICCI
The never-before-published wardrobe of a
timeless star, for lovers of fashion, photography
and film history.
Greta Garbo’s influence over fashion has transcended
time. Her dresses, suits, impeccably-tailored coats
with a slightly masculine look and the indispensable
accessories (shoes, bags, glasses, foulards) has created
a style emulated, imitated, even occasionally reviled,
but never fully examined. For the first time a catalogue of great glamour and a travelling exhibition
detail this extraordinary wardrobe whose minimalism
fits so well with current fashion trends.
Edited by Stefania Ricci, the Director of Museo
Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence, as the Divine Greta
Garbo was a Ferragamo client from the 1920s until
her death, and the founder of the Italian maison
designed hundreds of original, classical, futuristic,
hand-made shoes and sandals exclusively for her,
most of them shown here for the first time.
A stunning selection of black and white Garbo portraits
by celebrated photographers completes the volume.

Caravaggio
EDITED BY ROSSELLA VODRET AND
FRANCESCO BURANELLI
Four hundred years after the death of Caravaggio,
some of the world’s most illustrious art historians
comment on an extraordinary collection of
twenty-five of his works.
How is it possible that an artist who lived over four
centuries ago is still seen today as an icon of modernity? The answer must be sought in his works; this is
where we will grasp Caravaggio’s aesthetic pursuit.
He observed without prejudice, hewing close to the
truth of things. In short, his was a revolutionary art,
one which continues to fascinate laypeople and
experts alike to this day. The editors asked some of
the world’s preeminent Caravaggio scholars to share
their feelings and insights about their favorite works
by the artist. The result is an original catalogue of
great rigor expressed in deeply human and richly
subjective tones.
With works from all over the world including Saint
John the Baptist from the Nelson-Atkins Museum of
Art, Kansas City; and The Musicians from New
York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Rossella Vodret is the Director of the Polo
Museale in Rome. Francesco Buranelli is secretary

The years between the world wars in Italy were a stimulating period that, in
addition to the already established great masters such as Morandi, Carrà, De
Chirico and Severini, also saw the emergence of an array of young artists,
capable of presenting an alternative aesthetics of international scope. This is
a private collection whose sole purpose is to give the art of the 1930s and
1940s back the attention and dignity it deserves. This volume brings some
supreme works back to light and shows them in conjunction with works that
are only apparently minor, but which have been ignored for decades. This
collection of works, which is conspicuous also in quantitative terms, is therefore a significant presence on the international cultural panorama.

Interior Splendor
by Rochon
DANE MCDOWELL
PHOTOGRAPHS BY
CHRISTIAN SARRAMON
The secrets behind the work of chameleon
designer Pierre Yves Rochon, who has devoted
thirty years to the quest for “absolute comfort.”
Is there a signature Rochon style? At first, it is difficult to tell because the designer always adapts his
work to the environment in which it unfolds, bringing
out the location’s unique spirit. A great traveler, he
blends international styles, borrowing from both
modern and classical influences.
Hailed as a “visionary designer” and “master of grand
luxe” by the Financial Times’ How To Spend It,
Rochon’s most prestigious commissions include
Four Seasons Hotels—in Paris, Florence, Washington, Shanghai and Cairo, for example—and
restaurants for several Michelin-starred chefs. His
residential work includes sumptuous private homes
he has designed across Europe, America, and the
Middle East.
This monograph—Rochon’s first—reveals the designer’s
trademark approach to interior splendor. For him,
“the quality of the object and the hand that made it,”
is essential for creating a sumptuous interior. He
devotes attention to every detail, from the architecture, to the furniture, the lighting, the fabrics, and art
objects. Where he inserts a new structure into a
space, such as a fireplace or a column, it feels like it
has always been there. His interiors thus exude
harmony and comfort, while retaining a strong sense
of the location’s culture, geography, and history.

Essentials of French
Cooking
CLASSIC RECIPES AND SIMPLE
TECHNIQUES
HUBERT DELORME, VINCENT BOUÉ
FOREWORD BY PAUL BOCUSE
PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLAY McLACHLAN
Over 200 culinary techniques—the building blocks
for how to cook any recipe—are demystified in this
illustrated guide to French gastronomy.
French cuisine can appear daunting, but it’s one of
life’s greatest pleasures. Essentials of French Cooking
offers the step-by-step kitchen techniques that are the
secret to success. The book opens with a guide to the
fundamentals of cooking: knife techniques (chopping,
paring), cooking methods (braising, grilling, steaming,
poaching, roasting), sauces and stuffings, eggs, dough.
Each method is explained in text and photographs;
twenty-four are further clarified on the accompanying
ninety-minute DVD. Organized in courses, 125
classic recipes—quiche Lorraine, onion soup, tarte
Tatin—provide ample inspiration. Each recipe is
graded with a three-star rating so that home chefs can
gauge its complexity—and expand their cooking abilities gradually with experience. Eight recipes from
France’s leading chefs offer the ultimate challenge.
Cross references throughout to techniques, DVD
footage, glossary terms, and related recipes make
navigation easy. Practical resources complete the
volume: visual dictionaries of basic kitchen equipment, cuts of meat, and types of herbs, grains, spices,
legumes; a glossary; and indexes of the recipes, main
ingredients, and culinary techniques. With an introduction by Paul Bocuse, this impressive volume is an
essential guide for novice and established cooks alike.
Paul Bocuse has held three Michelin stars since 1965.
Hubert Delorme and Vincent Boué teach culinary
techniques in Brittany, France. Clay McLachlan ’s
photographs have been featured in Eric Kayser’s
Sweet and Savory Tarts and in Food and Wine.

Exclusive, extravagant, and beautiful, these cosmopolitan socialites were the
patrons who galvanized the phenomenal success of the greatest creators of the
early twentieth century. It was a whirlwind of sumptuously decorated villas and
yachts, up-and-coming haute couture and jewelry designers, and elite evening
parties, immortalized by fashion photographers like Cecil Beaton. Combining
elegance and fantasy, the members of the Café Society enjoyed a sophisticated,
avant-garde lifestyle. Some of the century’s most original talents—from Cole
Porter to Yves Saint Laurent—stepped into the limelight via the Café Society.
Through archival photographs and period documents, this volume recounts in
historical detail the intrigue and impact generated around the world by this
stylish jet-set.
Thierry Coudert coauthored the exhibition catalog for Cartier 1899–1949 at
the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 2007. A close friend of Café Society
ringleader Alexis de Redé and collector of Art Deco pieces, he holds extensive archives and period publications on the Café Society.

“An enchanting cross-section of Parisian life by one of the photographers who
best captured its many charms.” —The New York Times, 2005
Robert Doisneau (1912–1994) is one of the world’s most famous and
popular photographers. His lyrical, touching, and at times nostalgic images
have become iconic. He worked as a professional photographer in industry,
journalism, and fashion, and later as a freelancer, but his real interest lay
in capturing ordinary people in everyday situations on film.

Recipe for Murder
FRIGHTFULLY GOOD FOOD
INSPIRED BY FICTION
ESTÉRELLE PAYANY
ILLUSTRATIONS BY
JEAN-FRANÇOIS MARTIN
Thirty-two great hero−villains of literature lure
the reader into the kitchen to sample their
signature recipes.
Estérelle Payany shares to-die-for recipes inspired by
scoundrels from popular literature. Each chapter
opens with an excerpt from the original story and
quirky illustrations by Jean-François Martin featuring
the criminal and his recipe. The Big Bad Wolf roasts
three little pigs in their blankets while Snow White’s
stepmother concocts bewitching caramel apples. The
Queen of Hearts orders Alice to eat treacle tart while
Long John Silver stocks the galley with sea biscuits.
And although Shakespeare’s infamous Brutus can
toss his Caesar salad in a mere ten minutes, Dracula’s
paprika hendl is best when simmered from dusk until
dawn. It is sure to be a duel to the end between
Patrick Bateman’s truffled roast beef and Tom
Ripley’s Venetian lemon chicken, but both can be
paired nicely with a simple white bean salad from
East of Eden’s Cathy Ames.
This spirited collection drawing from fairy tales,
literary classics, and contemporary favorites is as
entertaining as the recipes are scrumptious (and
harmless!). And with the winning ingredients in
Recipe for Murder—famous literary thrillers and
authentic home-style recipes—it would be a crime to
pass up this diabolically scrumptious book!
Estérelle Payany is a culinary journalist for
women’s magazines and author of several cook
books. Jean-François Martin ’s illustrations have
appeared in The New York Times, Time, The Los
Angeles Times, The Progressive, The Washington Post,
The Guardian, and Le Monde. He has illustrated
numerous children’s books, including Little Red
Riding Hood and Marie Aubinais’ The Farm, The Sea,
The Jungle, and Birds (Abbeville Kids).

Women of the Bible
JACQUES DUQUESNE
Servant, queen, mother, prophetess, prostitute, priestess, heroine,
exile . . . Jacques Duquesne demonstrates the crucial roles played by
women in the Bible.
From The Red Tent to Marek Halter’s Canaan trilogy, biblical women have
inspired numerous contemporary writers—who, in turn, have captivated
millions of readers. Duquesne returns to the original scriptures to evaluate the
often controversial roles, responsibilities, and relationships of women in the
Old and New Testaments. In doing so, he shows the significant contribution
women made to life in ancient Israel and their importance in spreading the
Christian word throughout the Western world.

The Jewish Odyssey
MAREK HALTER
The far-reaching story of a people that, despite
facing perpetual struggle, has shaped modern
civilization.
In The Jewish Odyssey, best-selling author Marek
Halter charts the course of Judaism from its origins in
Mesopotamia to its place in the world today.
Predating all Western culture, its early development
of the written word enabled it to lay the foundations
of modern civilization. Richly illustrated, the book
addresses the extent of Jewish suffering over the
years, as well as the lasting contributions of Jews in
fields such as science, politics, philosophy, and the
arts—from Gutenberg to Einstein, Freud to Trotsky,
and Kafka to Dylan.
Halter explains the delicate state of interdependence
that exists between the significant Jewish Diaspora
communities worldwide and the Israeli nation, taking
into account the Zionist notion of the Jewish
“promised land.” With his expertise, international
status, and political insight, Halter offers a unique
and compelling view on contemporary issues ranging
from anti-Semitism to the emergence of multi-faith
families. This engaging illustrated tribute to the
Jewish story culminates in a message of hope for the
universal freedom of all mankind.
Author, academic, and activist Marek Halter has
published more than twenty books, including the
best-selling Sarah from his Canaan trilogy. As a
young child in 1940, Halter escaped with his family
from the Warsaw ghetto. He is the founder of the
International Committee for Peace in the Middle
East and SOS Racisme.

Going beyond cliché, they reveal the contrasting aspects of New York and its
inhabitants against a backdrop of neon billboards, wire fencing, and graffiti
murals. With an eye for poignant detail, they derive fascination and comedy
from seemingly mundane scenes: small children on a ferryboat; a jogger
stretching on the West Side Highway. The New York flair for fashion is also
celebrated as colored spectator shoes, trendy sneakers, and skyscraper stilettos
hit the streets.
Documenting the everyday workings of the city, this is a rare insight into the
essence of New York life, making it as captivating for the longtime New Yorker
as for the armchair traveler.
Magnum was founded in 1947 by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa,

Japanese Animation
BRIGITTE KOYAMA-RICHARD
A sweeping journey through the history
of Japanese animation, tracing this cultural
phenomenon from its origins in traditional art
to the present day.
A dominant force in its home country since the
1970s, Japanese animation has become a global
phenomenon in recent years. But far from being a
contemporary invention, anime draws on the same
centuries-old artistic traditions that form the basis of
manga. Widely disparaged when it first appeared in
the West, today the real value of Japanese animation is
recognized, and it has inspired international film
directors. Fairy tale, romance, adventure, fantasy,
science-fiction: anime encompasses many genres and
its creativity knows no bounds.
Brigitte Koyama-Richard studies the evolution of
Japanese animation through the centuries, retracing
its history from painted scrolls to woodblock prints,
to animated films, first in black and white, and then in
color. A number of prominent artists are showcased,
including Tezuka Osamu, the “godfather of anime,”
and Hayao Miyazaki, founder of the world-renowned
Studio Ghibli and creator of films such as Spirited
Away—the first anime film to win an Academy Award.
Illustrated with over 500 images, many rarely seen in
the West, this book bridges the gap between art
history and pop culture.
Brigitte Koyama-Richard is a professor at the
University of Tokyo, where she teaches comparative
literature and art history. She has published several
works on Japanese art, including 1000 Years of Manga
(Flammarion, 2008).

Secret Palaces
of Paris
ALAIN STELLA AND
PHOTOGRAPHY BY FRANCIS HAMMOND
A unique glimpse inside a world of luxury,
tradition, and splendor.
Many historic homes in Paris serve as residences to
foreign ambassadors; these historical sites are closed
to the general public. From a seventeenth-century
hôtel particulier, to a Belle Epoque palace, to a distinctively contemporary setting, each residence rivals the
next in its beauty, art collection, and period furniture
set against a backdrop of accomplished refinement.
Alain Stella invites us over the threshold inside the
most prestigious chancelleries and ambassador residences in Paris—from China and Peru to Egypt and
Poland. Tapestries inspired by Goya’s drawings grace
the lavish salons at the Spanish residence. Jean
Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand created a minimalist
interior at the Japanese residence that evokes the
refined style of a traditional Japanese home. The
palace of Eugène de Beauharnais—home to the
German ambassadors since 1818—retains its elaborate Empire style, intact since the time of Josephine.
Superb photographs, specially commissioned for this
book over the course of a year, divulge the secrets of
these previously unpublished artistic and architectural treasures.
Alain Stella is a traveler and writer. He has
published numerous books with Flammarion
including The Book of Coffee (1997), The Book of Tea
(1992/2005), The Little Book of Coffee (2001), French
Tea: Mariage Frères—Three Centuries of Savoir-Faire
(2009), Distinctive Vintages (2008), and The Book of
Spices (2000). Francis Hammond ’s photographs
have been published in French Tea: Mariage Frères
and Elegant Entertaining (2009). He regularly works
in the fashion and advertising industries, contributes
to international magazines, and divides his time
between New York and Paris.

Robert Doisneau:
Palm Springs
ROBERT DOISNEAU
INTRODUCTION BY JEAN-PAUL DUBOIS
A previously unpublished collection of Robert
Doisneau’s color photography provides a unique
opportunity to revisit the early years of one of
America’s legendary holiday destinations.
In 1960, Robert Doisneau was invited by Fortune
magazine to cover Palm Springs, the hottest travel
destination of the day. Renowned as a playground for
the rich and famous, as well as for a silver-haired and
well-heeled clientele, it was a world of swimming
pools awash with bobbing beehives, martini-fueled
parties, and relaxed games of golf, all unfolding
against a desert backdrop. There, Doisneau took
hundreds of photographs, twenty-three of which
were published in the magazine. The rest have been
rediscovered in his archives and one hundred are
featured here for the first time.
Doisneau is best known for his black and white
portraits of Parisian street scenes. This rare color
collection—which is supplemented with a facsimile
reproduction of Doisneau’s original Fortune article—
offers a new perspective on his photographic legacy.
Accompanying these nostalgic images are extracts
from the photographer’s personal correspondence—
small masterpieces of derision and self-derision in
which he describes being marooned in the “world
capital of winter golf ”—and an equally amusing introduction written by award-winning French novelist
Jean-Paul Dubois.
Robert Doisneau (1912–1994) is one of the
world’s most famous and popular photographers.
His poetic, touching, and at times nostalgic
images have become iconic. He worked as a
professional photographer in industry, journalism,
and fashion, and later as a freelancer, but his real
interest lay in capturing ordinary people in
everyday situations on film. Jean-Paul Dubois has
written numerous novels including Vie Française
(Vintage, 2008).

The Mafia
HISTORY AND LEGEND
MARCO GASPARINI
An illustrated history of the Mafia, focusing on
this highly developed criminal organization both
as a cult subject and an important social
phenomenon.
Movie classics like The Godfather epitomize our fascination with the underworld of the Mafia, conjuring
images of cigar-smoking dons and shoot-outs in
pizzerias. But behind the romantic myths of “men of
honor” and omertà lies a very real world of murder,
racketeering, and organized crime.
HIP/Scala
Marco Gasparini traces the evolution of the Mafia
from nineteenth-century Sicily to the streets of
twentieth-century New York, to the international
cartels that rule the illegal drug and arms trades
today. In this authoritative volume he exposes the
many secrets of an “octopus” organization that has
remained impenetrable for decades, despite the
efforts of heroic crime fighters such as New York
police officer Joe Petrosino and the similarly ill-fated
Italian judge Giovanni Falcone almost a century
later. We discover the Mafia’s greatest godfathers,
underbosses, and “soldiers,” as well as its pentiti (or
turncoats) and the most formidable wives of
Mafiosi. This book not only focuses on the original
Sicilian Cosa Nostra and its various branches—such
as Al Capone’s Chicago Outfit or the still existent
Corleonesi—it also features the equally bloody
Neapolitan Camorra, which inspired the compelling
documentary Gomorrah, and the Japanese Yakuza,
the largest organized crime group in the world
today, as well as the ever-growing Russian and
Chinese “mafias.”
Mafia reveals the multi-faceted reality behind a
phenomenon that has sparked the popular imagination for decades.
Marco Gasparini is a journalist specializing in
political and financial reporting, and writes a
regular column for Il Sole 24 Ore.

Behind the Wheel
SPEED, STYLE, AND INNOVATION
ON THE ROAD
ROBERT PUYAL
Introducing legendary stars of the thrilling world
of the automobile.
In Behind the Wheel, Robert Puyal presents eighty
idols of the automobile world, including pioneers of
the automotive industry, champion racing drivers,
superstar car aficionados, and celebrated fictional
characters. Among the inspirational figures featured
is Henry Ford, who, overcoming his illiteracy, broke
the land speed record with a machine of his own
design. He went on to make the joys of driving available to the widest possible public with his innovative,
mass-produced Ford Model T. From a similarly
modest background, Juan Manuel Fangio started out
as a mechanic in a small village in Argentina,
competing in perilous amateur road races before his
talent was finally discovered. Sent to Europe on a
government grant, he won five Formula One world
championships, becoming arguably the greatest
driver in the history of the sport.
Steve McQueen and Paul Newman are among the
many Hollywood stars to have been bitten by the
racing bug; when James Dean met his death behind
the wheel of his Porsche 550 RS nicknamed “Little
Bastard,” a legend was born. Meanwhile, cars themselves have also played starring roles onscreen: 007’s
trademark Aston Martins have endured continual
destruction in the James Bond films over the years,
only to become enduring big screen icons in their
own right.
© EON/UNITED ARTISTS/THE KOBAL COLLECTION
High-speed thrills have always attracted a cast of
characters as diverse as it is devoted, and this book is
a classic tribute.
Robert Puyal has been an automobile journalist
for thirty years, and specializes in motorsport and
the history of car makes and models.

The classic yacht Eilean reflects the history of Panerai, a watchmaker
long associated with the sea and yachting.
Designed by William Fife in 1936, the year the first Panerai watch was
produced, this 22-meter Bermudan ketch was found nearly abandoned in
Antigua in 2007. Thanks to Officine Panerai’s commitment to traditional
sailing culture, Eilean is now undergoing restoration, and will return to the seas
in Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge events in 2010.

The Century of Modern Design

anniversary in 2010.

The Stewart Collection incorporates iconic furniture, ceramics, textiles,
posters, graphic art, jewelry, and everyday objects from the 1930s to today. This
book presents items chronologically, highlighting contrasts and parallels
between works including posters by Max Bill and an armchair by Frank Lloyd
Wright. Each decade of the twentieth century is introduced by an essay giving
the context that shaped the works, providing a history of modern design. Great
designers, including lesser-known but highly influential figures, are presented
alongside their signature creations that retain a prominent place in the design
world today.
David A. Hanks is the curator of the Stewart Program for Modern Design
at the Montreal Museum, and author of Design for Living. Martin Eidelberg
is Professor Emeritus, Art History, at Rutgers, The State University of New
Jersey, and contributed to Abrams’ Masterworks of Louis Comfort Tiffany and
Design in America: The Cranbrook Vision 1925–1950.
Manet
JAMES RUBIN
An authoritative work on Edouard Manet, viewed by many as the father
of modern painting.
Few artists have created as much controversy as Manet: his avant-garde work
not only challenged the traditions of art, but also addressed society as a whole.
With his painting Olympia (1869), he was to become, to quote Degas, “as
famous as Garibaldi.” Yet how the diffident son of a bourgeois family became
the father of both realism and impressionism is a complex story that has too
often been overlooked. As Manet has rightly become recognized as a touchstone for historical change, his personal story has become all the more relevant
to the study of art history.

High Jewelry
by Cartier
CONTEMPORARY CREATIONS
CARTIER
A sumptuous tribute to Cartier’s creations with
spectacular new photographs of unique pieces,
many of which have never been published before.
Cartier has defined daring elegance in jewelry design
for over a century and a half. Featuring over 300 color
images, many of them full-page, this lavish, satin-bound
volume presents Cartier’s most recent collections:
modern pieces of high jewelry conceived in the spirit of
Cartier’s traditional values of creativity, authenticity,
and originality.
Eight chapters trace the artistic threads and historic
sources that have shaped the firm’s distinctive style,
such as famous gemstones, the importance of pure,
clean lines and balanced colors, and the exotic flora
and distinctive feline shapes that characterize
Cartier’s more exuberant pieces. Design sketches and
period photographs complement larger-than-life
images, telling the stories of past creations and
explaining the evolution of contemporary designs.
This collection is a celebration of the inimitable
Cartier style, with marvelous pieces that embody and
celebrate the personal experience of selecting and
wearing fine jewelry.
Cartier is one of the world’s preeminent jewelers,
founded in 1847. The firm has been an official
purveyor to rulers around the globe, from England
to Egypt, Russia to Siam, Portugal to Serbia, and
Spain to Albania. The company’s extensive archive,
The Cartier Collection, includes more than 1,300
pieces illustrating the changes in design styles and
techniques in Cartier’s creations. In recent years,
works by Cartier—watches, jewelry, and other accessories—have been featured in major retrospectives
at internationally renowned museums from
Moscow to Tokyo and Mexico to Milan, including
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British
Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History in

Hervé Morvan
THE GENIUS OF FRENCH
POSTER ART
VÉRONIQUE MORVAN
A collection of Hervé Morvan—colorful, cute and
adorable characters.
Hervé Morvan (1917–1980) is a great French poster
artist and designer who became well-known for his
advertising poster for Perrier in 1950. He drew
increasing attention from his following works for
Vittel, Evian, Danone, and Esso. Along with
Raymond Savignac, who was his good friend as well
as his competitor, Hervé Morvan is still quite popular.
Morvan’s works are relatively soft in touch compared
with Savignac’s, and lovely characters often appear in
his pieces.
This collection contains around 280 of Morvan’s
creations ranging from the advertising posters for
kids, food/drink, household, fashion, travel,
campaigns, alcohol, cigarette, film and music, and
greeting cards.
This lushly illustrated book is like a step back into a
quaint advertising era.
Véronique Morvan is Hervé Morvan’s daughter.

Lakeside Living
HOUSES OF THE GREAT LAKES
LINDA LEIGH PAUL
A rare glimpse at the stunning homes of the
Great Lakes. Gorgeous new photography captures
the rich architectural tradition, breathtaking
landscapes, and rugged, relaxed lifestyle of
this eternally popular American region.
The lakeside home represents its owner’s love for the
outdoors and passion for life on the water. Houses by
the lake are designed to maximize the flow of air, the
use of sunlight, and the views of the landscape.
These Great Lakes homes range in style from
converted barns and Prairie Style houses to
modernist inspired dwellings but each is always a
reflection of the style, taste and interests of their
owners. The houses featured here illustrate an
experimentation with materials and an economy of
design. Residences are designed to be practical—
many can “close up” during adventures in the outof-doors and travels—and they exhibit an
open-minded style in which to live. Great Lakes
houses are modern yet sufficiently warm and
inviting to provide comfort for life here.
Capturing the universal desire to live on the water,
the book will speak to waterside homeowners
everywhere, and especially to residents of the seven
U.S. states and two Canadian provinces that border
the Great Lakes.With more than 250 images,Lakeside
Living is a book for all those who yearn for a life at
the water’s edge.
Linda Leigh Paul is the author of Cottages by the
Sea, Coastal Retreats, Desert Retreats, Cottages on the
Coast, The Cabin Book, and Island Living, all published
by Universe.

books, Paula Pryke shares her experience in planning floral displays and accents to set the tone for any

achievable designs for both novices and seasoned

romantic Burgundy or a simple, hearty meal of
boeuf bourguignon; in scenic Alsace enjoy a
piping-hot flammekueche, a tart of local cheeses,
speck, and onions.

and phone numbers to accommodate planning
your trip, including hotel listings, restaurants,
wineries, and shops. Sidebars give information on
local delicacies to be tasted and imbibed, as well as
where to find the choicest goods.

AN ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY
OF JESUS CHRIST
JACQUES DUQUESNE
A precious gift, this enlightening, illustrated
biography of Jesus is illuminated throughout with
a fifth-color bronze ink.
Few stories have captivated the world’s imagination as much as the biblical account of the life of
Jesus Christ. From the Nativity to the Sermon on
the Mount, the Last Supper to the Resurrection,
artists continually revisit these New Testament
tales, exploring their religious, symbolic, and
dramatic values.
This gorgeous book, replete with images from
throughout the history of art, retraces the life of the
Nazarene as it has been handed down to us, elaborating the major episodes of his life through excerpts
from the Gospels, pictorial representations, and
explanations of significant themes and symbols.
Through the text and illustrations making up this
handsome volume, the story of Christ and the acts
that mark his short life take on their full weight; and
the reader comes to understand their significance in
the context of the ancient world as well as today.
This exquisitely produced book and insightful text
sheds new light on the life on one of the world’s
most influential figures.
Jacques Duquesne is a journalist and author. He
co-founded and directed Le Point, a French magazine, and he currently contributes to La Croix and
