new photographic exploration of Chicago, a city which attracts the visitor with its profoundly American character. The book presents over 100 photographs shot in Chicago between 2006 and 2011, mainly in black and white. Several aspects of this diverse city are shown. Starting from the most celebrated downtown areas, where so many movies have been shot making them familiar to the entire world, to the suburbs and outskirts of the city, each with its own personality and charm. Page after page, empty streets mix with the most solemn of buildings and the waterfronts; people who work and live here meet other people who come from the Mid-West to check out unexpected urban landscapes. And then there are a number of photographs dedicated to the world of Blues, from the many clubs where the Blues are played each night, to the Chicago Blues Festival, the great late Spring event attended by an extraordinary and multifarious public, who are as much a part of the scene as the artists on stage.

he McMichael Canadian Art Collection has a unique mandate to celebrate the art of Canada, which it does within a great building in beautiful grounds overlooking the Humber River Valley.

Originally a home completed in 1954 for entrepreneur Robert McMichael and his wife Signe, the building became an unofficial gallery when they began allowing passers-by and school parties inside to view their art collection. In 1965 they took the visionary step of donating their home, collection and land to the Province of Ontario and in 1966 the McMichael officially opened to the public.

The permanent collection now consists of over 6,400 artworks. The iconic Canadian landscape artist Tom Thomson (1877-1917) features prominently, as do his colleagues the Group of Seven and their contemporaries. Historic and contemporary Indigenous art accounts for over a third of the total collection and is celebrated in the Gallery’s dynamic exhibition program.

Here, Ian Dejardin’s personal selection of highlights offers a revelatory opportunity to engage with the essence of Canada as portrayed in the luminous works of its artists.

Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner. Edited by Gina Tsarouhas

A

rchitecture Can! is an intriguing journey through the works and projects of the groundbreaking architecture firm Hollwich Kushner, based in New York. Partners Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner design projects at every scale: intimate, aweinspiring, and everything in between; from residences to universities, museums, and urban plans.

As two founders of leading architecture social media network Architizer, Hollwich and Kushner frankly admit the power of social media in contemporary architecture practice. Images of new and advanced buildings and concepts travel the globe at high speed, influencing a new generation of projects before the previous generation has broken ground. To stand out, they believe, architecture must “empower people to engage with others, to produce memorable experiences, and to live with a sense of wonder”.

resolute, and always looking to the future, Hollwich and Kushner advocate for architecture at every opportunity, believing that “Better buildings make a better world”

ew Orleans, like Venice, is built in a location that at first sight seems curious in the extreme. How could it be that these cities, built so precariously in the face of a watery threat, were to become among the great cities of the world? How could a site below sea level, at a swampy curve in the River Mississippi become one of the most visited cities in the United States, and possess a unique kind of magic that separates it from other cities? Geoffrey Baker provides this gem of an architectural guide. Inside these richly illustrated pages he endeavors to highlight the city’s plight and provide insight into the city’s inimitable spirit that’s born of its constant battle for survival, as it’s frequently handicapped by nature’s capacity to destroy in the form of hurricanes.

In addition, eight specialty projects, including the Glass House, a study in transparency and enclosure, and Burnham Pavilion, a project with Zaha Hadid for the Chicago Centennial, are focused explorations of technology, sustainability, materials, and construction. Practical and personable, the text and building descriptions offer a wide-ranging, behind-the-scenes look into the architectural profession.

The concept of the book hasn’t changed for this new edition: starting from the Top Ten lists of renowned Belgian architects and architecture critics, it presents the best Belgian buildings (completed after 1900) with a photo and a short text in English and Dutch. Also, the lists of the architects are included the book. This new edition contains over 20 new lists, 15 extra buildings, and of course a slightly different selection.

fter an immense process of careful restoration and conservation, the outstanding artistry of The Great East Window is revealed afresh through state-of-the art photography that captures the complete sequence of major panels, in corrected placements, for the very first time. At the size of a tennis court, it is the largest single expanse of medieval stained glass in Britain and one of the largest medieval windows ever made. This visual feast is brought to life by author Sarah Brown, who explores the history, artistry, meaning and restoration of the window, revealing new insights on a fragile masterpiece that has been described as England’s Sistine Chapel.

Ground breaking new research has shed exciting new light on the window’s complex narratives, relating its story to the Minster’s history and liturgy. The Great East Window of York Minster explores the window’s biblical presentation of the beginning and end of time, the window’s relationships with other media and the technical processes behind its creation.

This stunning, illustrated hardback presents an engaging contextual analysis of the window’s unequivocal position as an English masterpiece.

P

eter Behrens (1868-1940) was one of the most innovative architects and designers of the early 20th century. He is widely recognized as a pioneer of modern industrial design. To this day, his buildings and designs inform our everyday lives. As head designer at AEG, Behrens created the company’s turbine hall in BerlinMoabit. This construction ranks among the most famous buildings of industrial architecture and is known around the world. But Behrens also developed AEG’s logo and corporate design long before this concept actually existed. He thus established a consistent and standardized visual appearance for all products and marketing materials, ranging from the company’s letterhead to its advertisements. In addition, he was an accomplished typographer and designed trademarks which are still extant, not the least of which is the iconic font for the inscription ‘Dem deutschen Volke’ (To the German People) atop the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Mounting and Housing

M

ounting and housing of works of art on paper have always had an important influence on both the survival and the appreciation of the work. Many dangers of a physical, biological and chemical nature await unprotected works of art on paper and specialist mounting provides the primary way of safeguarding them. Also, since the way in which works are presented to the public affects their perception of them, mounting of works of art can contribute significantly to the success or failure of an exhibition.

A variety of problems, solutions, past practice and future developments in the mounting, storage and display of artworks on paper are considered in this volume of thirtyone articles presented at a conference at the British Museum. These include the significance of mounting in the historical study of prints and drawings, the preventive care of paper artifacts, their aesthetic presentation and the management of paper collections.

These votive offerings in earth or loam are produced by hand by believers or monks with models (casts) and serve many different purposes in every day religious life. With the depiction of over 360 objects, this book offers an outstanding review of the diverse manifestations and the extensive iconography of these exceptional ritual objects from the Buddhist cultural sphere.

Ecce Homo Behold the Man

Edited by Eric Rinckhout

E

cce Homo explores the age-old theme of the suffering Christ in a broad sense within contemporary art in Belgium. We live in an era in which humanity and mankind are violated on different levels; more and more, we are confronted by essential differences in the development and freedom of people in various parts of the world. This exhibition shows how artists approach la condition humaine in the context of today’s world.

Ecce Homo examines all aspects of the image of man, including both his grandeur and his vulnerability. This publication is the catalogue for the ambitious exhibition Ecce Homo. Behold the Man, in which works by 63 artists are shown at nine locations across the historic center of Antwerp, including the Maagdenhuis and the Museum Mayer van den Bergh. These contemporary artworks set up a dialog with the inspiring surroundings in which they are installed and also with the creations of the Old Masters.

Jean Brusselmans Rudi Fuchs & Hans Janssen

T

he Flemish painter Jean Brusselmans (1884-1953) was a contemporary of artists such as Constant Permeke and Gustave De Smet. He began his artistic career at the height of Flemish Expressionism, but he was far more than a pure Expressionist. His ultimate goal was to reveal the harmonic order of things.

Brusselmans’ oeuvre cannot easily be categorized. He continuously searched for a refined, authentic art, for the correct proportions and for the perfect balance between figuration and abstraction.

Brusselmans reduced reality to its essence.

Profoundly influenced by, amongst other things, Belgian abstract artists, constructivists, Cézanne’s structural use of color and the objective idiom of Le Corbusier, Jean Brusselmans stands out as one of the most original artists of Belgian modernism. His innovative style was, and still is, a source of inspiration for many contemporary artists. This book focuses on the period 1931-1949, in which Brusselmans developed a highly personal style and idiom.

Essays are contributed by, amongst others, art historian Rudi Fuchs and exhibition curator Hans Jannsen, as well as an interview with conceptual artist Jan Dibbets.

all for Justice highlights the rich and fascinating interaction between art, the practice of law and the idea of justice in the territories governed by the Great Council of Mechelen when at the height of its powers.

Works of art from the Burgundian Low Countries dating from the mid-fifteenth to mid-seventeenth century are situated within the turbulent legal, political and cultural context in which they were created: the unification of the Netherlands, the increasingly absolutist administration of Emperor Charles V, the Reformation and the uprising against Spain.

Call for Justice reveals how these artworks make visible, and in a powerful way, one of the most universal of all human desires: the pursuit of justice.

Including prestigious masterpieces by, amongst others, Quinten Matsys, Maarten van Heemskerck, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Maarten de Vos, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Philippe de Champaigne.

fro Libio Basaldella (Udine, 1912-Zurich, 1976) was perhaps the most renowned member of the Friuli Avant-garde Movement, which influenced his approach towards a more Expressionist sense of painting that had always been based on traditional Venetian Colorism. In the 1940s, Afro joined the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, and following a visit to the United States, he joined the Gruppo degli Otto, with whom he exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1952. Although in certain aspects his style seemed similar to American Action Painting, his harmonious tonal modulation and later research into abstract shapes and forms produced intellectually sophisticated results.

Richard Bertman

The Sculptures

Christina Lanz Edited by Gina Tsarouhas

F

or over 50 years Richard Bertman has been sculpting, drawing, and leading an architectural practice. Gradually assembling a lifetime’s work, Bertman’s sculptural creations encompass over 100 works from five decades.

The sculptures bear testimony to a boundless energy and the creativity of a Renaissance man, both an artist and a renowned architect.

This book delves into process, meaning and interpretation of Bertman’s sculptures, shedding light on his creative practice and analyzing each work, while also listening to the artist’s voice. He is best known for his whimsical mechanical sculptures. Man, and machine are Bertman’s central foci, resulting in two major groupings: kinetic objects primarily activated by electric motors and figurative portraits made from bent wire, welded steel rod, or carved in wood. Complementing these are the early abstract sculptures as well as explorations in other materials, such as copper, bronze or the incorporation of appropriated items from found objects.

orn 1985 in Thailand, Orawan Arunrak has lived and worked in a variety of Asian countries. Her stay in Berlin as an artist-inresidence brought her to the West for the first time. Although she did not experience a ‘culture shock’, her work in the German capital put the spotlight on questions of identity and home. She focused more on what unites cultures and what they have in common, rather than searching for what divides them. In an attempt to get to know the local community, Arunrak talked to a great many chance acquaintances.

The book documents her closing exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien where the artist presented recordings and transcripts of her conversations. In a kind of Babel of languages the different people entered into a fictitious dialogue with the visitors.

R

aqib Shaw is one of the most extraordinary and sought-after artists working in the world today. Inspired by a broad range of influences, including the old masters, Indian miniatures, Persian carpets and the Pre-Raphaelites, his paintings are infused with memories and longing for his homeland in Kashmir. His technique constitutes a completely unique kind of enamel painting. Spending months on preparatory drawings, tracings and photographic studies, he then transfers the composition onto prepared wooden panels, establishing an intricate design with acrylic liner, which leaves a slightly raised line. He adds the enamel paint using needle-fine syringes and a porcupine quill, with which he manoeuvres the paint. The finished works are intricate, magical and breathtaking in their color and complexity. The book includes the first full-length biographical study of the artist.

Rembrandt & Britain Christian Tico Seifert

T

his absorbing introduction to the story of Rembrandt’s rampant fame and influence in Britain is filled with beautiful images.

The story of ‘Rembrandt mania’ began in 18th-century Britain with passionate, and often eccentric, collectors acquiring artworks by any and every means. As the craze for Rembrandt ebbed and flowed, each new wave of enthusiasm brought him ever-greater fame and influence, and collectors became increasingly ingenious.

This master’s impact not only on collectors and the public but also on British artists over the last four centuries is explored, with lavish paintings, drawings and prints from artists such as Henry Raeburn, Joshua Reynolds and James Abbott McNeill Whistler shown alongside some of Rembrandt’s most famous masterpieces.

iovanni Morelli (1816-1889) was the most influential Italian writer on art in the nineteenth century. Like many men of the Risorgimento he pursued romantic visions for the creation of a new democratic country, in whose government he participated as the popular elected member for Bergamo to the Camera dei Deputati for a decade. After the revolution, disillusionment gradually set in. Morelli’s life provides the framework for a new understanding of the culture of the Risorgimento and reveals why and how his famous method of attribution, was invented as a diagnostic instrument to preserve the heritage of Italy. His biography shows how he achieved this by virtue of his charismatic personality, equally popular and at ease with the Bergamo electorate, as with Lombardic foot soldiers in battle, or with European Royalty, Lombard aristocrats and distinguished writers.

angarh Singh Shyam was born in the early 1960s to an impoverished Gond family in rural central India. Discovered and nurtured by the renowned artist J. Swaminatha, Jangarh rose to global prominence after participating in a seminal art exhibition in Paris. After a career spanning only 20 years - and by then recognized as one of India’s greatest tribal artists - Jangarh committed suicide in 2001 at the age of 39.

Exploring his aesthetics, themes, and art historical relevance, this book also looks at the relationship between the artist and his early patrons, the collectors Niloufar and Mitchell S. Crites. Dr. Aurogeeta Das closely examines the huge body of work Jangarh left behind in The Crites Collection, enriching her study with references to works in other private and institutional collections. As such, she also captures early practices of collecting contemporary folk and tribal art in India.

James Bishop

Paintings on paper | Malerei auf Papier

Edited by Gianfranco Verna & Michael Semff, Texts by Erich Franz & Molly Warnock

J

ames Bishop can be called the only real painter of his generation still alive. He has developed a unique, poetic, and sensitive visual vocabulary, and describes himself as “an Abstract Expressionist of the quieter kind.” Although Bishop began his career with stronger colors on large canvases, which speak for themselves, he soon turned to earth tones, and then later greys in square, mostly unmodified, smaller formats. This tendency toward reduction has remained constant from the 1960s until just recently, especially with regard to individual works on paper.

Bishop has been on a persistent search for an aesthetic balance among opposing factors: drawing and painting, opacity and transparence, two and three dimensions, open forms and simple tectonic elements. In his work he has succeeded in compellingly interweaving these opposing forces into a subtle tonal relationship, creating a miniature-like, intimate aura.

It brings together original designs with surviving objects, and, for the first time, looks at the creative dialogue between Indian princes and the skilled tradesmen who satisfied their desires. Rich in anecdotes and visually splendid, Made for Maharajas brings alive the extraordinary lavish, varied and sometimes implausible works commissioned by princes whose wealth knew no bounds and whose eccentricities were legend.

While the rhino at present enjoys a “return” of sorts in its remaining strongholds, it is hoped that this book will generate awareness among a wider audience of the need for continuing and proactive protection of the animal and its habitat.

ecause money was no object, surimono usually used the finest materials and printing techniques. Most consisted of a picture combined with related poems, and the arrangement of the illustration and the calligraphic text was often very beautifully designed. Exquisite in design and technique and usually small in size, surimono have been described as ‘jewels of Japanese printmaking’ and have great visual appeal. Despite this, this will be the first time that the Ashmolean’s collection of surimono, mostly from the Jennings-Spalding Gift and containing a number of rare and previously unpublished prints, has ever been catalogued.

Over A Thousand Years

Ghulam Murshid & Sarbari Sinha

A

rt, literature, music and other intellectual expressions of a particular society are together regarded as the culture of that society.

Ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society are also its ‘culture’.

Writing the history of Bengali culture is difficult because Bengali society is truly plural in its nature, made even more so by its political division.

Ghulam Murshid’s Bengali Culture Over a Thousand Years is the first non-partisan and holistic discussion of Bengali culture. Written for the general reader, the language is simple and the style lucid. It shows how the individual ingredients of Bengali culture have evolved and found expression, in the context of political developments, and how certain individuals have moulded culture. Above all, the book presents the identity and special qualities of Bengali culture.

The Magic of Strokes and Colours Dr Daljeet

A

large bulk of Indian miniature paintings comes from Rajasthan. These miniatures encompass its fun and festivities, the charming women and heroic men who fought with valor, loved with great zeal and warmth, celebrated each moment of life and died like great heroes. The major schools of miniatures of Rajasthan are Mewar, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Nagaur, Jaipur, Alwar, Bundi, Kotah, Kishangarh and Nathdwara.

This book reflects the uniqueness of Rajasthani art, where shades and strokes come together in what almost appears as a divine interplay to create magic.

It is the ‘female gaze’ that sets this book apart, since it also narrates how women cope with ‘being woman’ amid a rugged terrain.

The ladies have ambled along the mountains also with an eye for the aesthetic and the curious, a heart for the exotic, and an ear for the local lore or a recipe.

T

he Portuguese presence on the Arabian Sea coast of the Deccan dates from the beginning of the 16th century, with the establishment of Goa as the capital of a rapidly expanding maritime enterprise that eventually encompassed much of Asia. In order to protect the ships carrying their goods, merchants, troops and missionaries to India, the Portuguese constructed a string of seaside strongholds in and around Goa, and further up the coast of what is now Maharashtra. This guidebook is the first to showcase the vestiges of the Portuguese sea forts of the Deccan, drawing attention to their surviving battlemented ramparts and angular bastions, watchtowers and lighthouses, chapels and churches.

T

here are many ways to perceive and interpret contemporary craft objects - for instance, as works of representational art in materials like ceramics, glass, textile, metal or wood, or as functional, handmade everyday objects. In this publication, the editors have invited different voices in craft theory to investigate the perception of contemporary craft as a particular discourse and aesthetic vocabulary. According to the editors, contemporary crafts can benefit from being discussed as representations of reality that do not rely on the concept of autonomy. As such, neither do they rely on the conventional dualism between aesthetic objects and everyday things. The authors investigate the possibility to perceive craft objects from perspectives that relate to the aesthetic tradition of materialism.

ince her debut in 1995, the Danish ceramist Gitte Jungersen (b. 1967) has gained much attention for her innovative work with ceramic glazes. She experiments with extremely active glazes that melt and run during firing, and form individual masses and cracks in a way that is reminiscent of geological processes. After cooling, the works appear as congealed traces, balancing on the edge between chaos and control. For the first time, an overview is being presented of Gitte Jungersen’s work from 1995 to 2017, with comprehensive illustrated documentation of around sixty pieces.

T

his book features a wonderful, previously unpublished, account from Geoffrey Eastop’s memoirs, about how he came to Aldermaston and helped to establish the pottery with Alan Caiger-Smith in the mid 1950s. The book tells the story of the 51 years of the Aldermaston Pottery, through the words and experiences of as many of the potters as possible, whilst also chronicling Alan’s own achievements over the decades.

The images also play an important part in telling the story. As there has never been a book published that has traced the career of this important figure or the life of the pottery, or the 60 people who worked and trained there, and there are very few photographic records of this lost way of working, this book will fill that gap in the history of 20th century studio pottery.

aniel Rozensztroch’s collections of everyday things encompass the worlds of art, antiques, found objects, and everything in between. Collected over years of traveling the world, the obsessive collections of objects range from the ordinary to the sublime, and include hundreds of toothbrushes, glass lights for lace making, sailor iconography, vases from the Jin dynasty, tin frames, Christmas ornaments, and Japanese folk art. Photographed in their settings in his apartments in Paris and Nice, France, the book allows for a fascinating look into the two homes as cabinets of curiosities. As Rozensztroch explains, “A collection can be three or 300 objects and the subject of this book is how I see them as being related to each other and how I live with them and appreciate them every day.”

ith the exception of Africa, the highest percentage of HIV infections are found in high-risk groups such as drug users, prostitutes, the transgender community, gay men, street children or prisoners. They encounter more stigmatization and discrimination than other groups, which makes it harder for aid to reach them. Writer Colet van der Ven and photographer Adriaan Backer traveled around the world to give these people a voice: women in patriarchal Tadzhikistan, victims of political violence in Kenya, black homosexuals in the deeply religious southern states of America, transgenders in India, (ex-)prisoners in South Africa and drug users in Myanmar. They also interviewed a representative of the first generation of AIDS patients in the Netherlands and a female refugee in the Ukraine.

ealing with distributors can be hard.

They are constantly looking for better and exclusive deals, form a bad fit with your company’s strategy, do not spend enough time on your products and rely too heavily on your support. At least, that is the viewpoint of many managers. However, getting a better result from the cooperation with distributors starts at your own organization. Distributors aren’t just clients, but an essential extension to your own organization. That means they should be treated as such. Because why would your distributor want to work exclusively for your organization? Once organizations start tweaking their attitude towards distributors in the right ways, they will undoubtedly only stand to gain from their cooperation with distributors.

Managers The Day After Tomorrow

Connect to Many, Engage Individuals Rik Vera

I

n today’s economy, everything has changed. In order to survive, managers and organizational leaders will have to address the need to connect to the largest possible audience without losing touch with the individual. But how does this work? How can managers look ahead? How can they imagine how their company will be doing in thirty years from now, and do so in an environment where predictions have become all but impossible, and then at the same time successfully imprint their vision into a strategy for the next three months from now? What makes today’s customers tick? Why does everything have to be easy, fast, fun and simple? Why is data the new gold, and why is AI a blessing?

The answer is plain. To keep evolving, leaders should be inspired by the outside world. They should have the guts to read the signals all around them. They should meet the needs of their customers and, above all, they should focus on every possibility. In short, they should never stop experimenting.

Jasper Léonard

P

hotographer Jasper Léonard previously resized Antwerp and New York and now points his special tilt-shift lenses towards Amsterdam. Amsterdam Resized shows you the city like you’ve never seen it before: the famous canals of Amsterdam have been reduced to mere trickles with mini-sized bridges; the joggers in the Vondelpark now resemble Playmobil puppets, and the Stedelijk Museum now looks more like a bath tub.

The Conservation of Sculpture Parks Edited by Sagita Sunara & Andrew Thorn

T

he contributions to this volume address aspects relating to the preservation, maintenance and protection of open-air sculpture and sculptural landscapes based on case studies in Europe, North America and Australia. Sculpture parks are found in a range of settings - urban, rural, forest, coastal, desert - each facing challenges in relation to its location, climate and management such as negligence and vandalism (including graffiti) and material degradation: physical damage, corrosion, fading and flaking paint, biological growth etc.

The authors, sometimes after discussions with the artists themselves, consider methods of conservation and management of both the sculpture park environment and collections of artworks made of different materials: wood, metals and alloys, ceramic, stone, concrete, glass, composites etc.

Austria 2504M

Stefan Bogner & Jan Baedeker

T

he ‘Grossglockner’, Austria’s highest mountain at 3,789m, is one of the most important summits of the Eastern Alps. With more than 5000 ascents per year, it is a very popular destination for climbers.

But even for those who do not want to climb, the fascination of this mountain is hard to escape. There is no better way to investigate than from the ‘Grossglockner’ High Alpine road. The road leads across both mountain passes Fuscher Törl and Hochtor, crossing the main Alpes from Salzburg to Carinthia, with turnoffs to the Edelweiss peak and the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-height. The road as an adventure trip and its 12% ascent has to be well managed. Who would be more capable to report about all this than Stefan Bogner, the master of the automobile photo books?

With fuel in his blood and a sensitive feel for history, but also with accelerator and brake, he provides a portrait of one of the most exciting and most visited Alpine roads.

The study of the artist’s life is based on three ancient monographs, memories of students and friends, a large number of public and private archives, as well as reading the press of his time. The catalogue is the result of more than twentyfive years of research. Some ninety works unknown at the time of the first edition were thus added to those which had already been recorded thanks to ancient sources, contracts with the State, sales catalogues, catalogues of museums and a correspondence with the collectors, as well as ninety others then held for lost.
