By Nicholas Sinclair Introduction by Nicky Hamlyn A Royal Academy of Arts Publication

By Rob Pruitt Pruitt’s work has attracted critical attention for being consistently engaging while retaining a playful Pop aesthetic.

250 color illustrations, 224 pages, 9¾×11".

The Story of Graphic Design is a comprehensive illustrated history of the development of graphic styles in the West, from the origins of the alphabet itself, through the invention of printing in the Renaissance, the major styles (with emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries), and the impact of digital technology on design. 150 black-and-white and 150 color illustrations, 352 pages, 7½×10."

Jackson Pollock

By Ellen G. Landau This compelling and original Abrams classic, now back in print, locates the artist in the continuum of his times, recreating the social and cultural milieu of New York in the 1940s and 1950s. Pollock’s big, bold canvases are reproduced in five colors to convey the brilliance of his network of tones, his aluminum paint, and his sparkling collage materials. 270 illustrations, 105 in color, 286 pages, 10¼×11¾".

Functioning both as an introduction to Picasso’s work and bringing new insights to those already familiar with his career, this important book is one of the most significant additions to Picasso literature in recent years. 80 color illustrations, 224 pages, 7½×9⅝".

The Selby Is in Your Place

Prefabulous and Sustainable

The Big-Ass Book of Home Décor

By Thomas O’Brien

By Todd Selby

O’Brien has made a career of translating cool notions of modernism into an easy and generous array of modern styles that anyone can attain. Now he introduces readers to a range of those styles—from casual to formal, vintage to urban—alongside stunning photography and charming design stories. 200 color illustrations, 240 pages 9½×11".

Nosy by nature, the photographer wanted to see how personal style was reflected in private spaces.
