Basquiat: Headstrong

Drawing into Painting reveals Lucian Freud's lifelong focus on the human face and form, tracing the intimate dialogue between his sketches and paintings from the 1940s to the early 21st century. &gt; Drawing into Painting explores how drawing remained central to Freud's artistic practice throughout his life. From quick sketches to finished works in charcoal, pastel, and etching, his drawings offer a rare window into his process, revealing shifts in style, experimentation, and his evolving way of seeing. Spanning from his childhood to his final years, the book traces the unconventional path from his drawing practice to his painting, and back again. Alongside a selection of key paintings by Freud and others, the book includes conversations with David Dawson, Freud's close friend and assistant, and Bella Freud, the artist's daughter. Insightful essays by writer and curator Catherine Lampert, British Museum drawings curator Isabel Seligman, and acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín further illuminates Freud's world and legacy.

Preserved in a small-format paperback, Richter's Strip-Tower is an exercise in three-dimensional abstractionSince the early 1960s, Gerhard Richter (born 1932) has tirelessly explored the infinite possibilities of painting and gained status as a celebrated artist worldwide. His recent public commission, Strip-Tower (962) (2023), expands on the artist's enduring investigations of painting, photography, digital reproduction and abstraction. Building on his series of Abstract Paintings from the 1970s onward, and Strip Paintings made since 2011, Richter now moves his explorations into three dimensions. He created Strip-Tower using glossy ceramic tiles that clad two perpendicular panels to create a cruciform structure of 12 faces, intended to be viewed in the round. Marcus du Sautoy, Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, describes the work as a piece of "complexity and simplicity," its vertical stripes hiding a deeper, symmetrical process. The book also features a preface by Serpentine Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist and Chief Executive Bettina Korek.

Masks and Crowns – Festival Culture and Representation of Power

Dresden Rüstkammer

The talent behind Radiohead's iconic artwork reveals in his own words and for the first time the creative process that has driven his career and earned him a cult reputation. A restless and prolific figure, Stanley Donwood is widely regarded as one of the most important visual artists of his generation. His influential work for Radiohead spans many practices and ever-evolving aesthetics over a 23-year period, from music packaging to installations to print-making. Here, for the very first time, he reveals his personal notebooks, photographs, sketches and abandoned routes to iconic Radiohead artworks. Arranged chronologically, chapters are each dedicated to a major work - be it an album cover, promotional piece or a personal project - presented as a step-by-step working case study, from speculative ideas and sketches right through to Photoshop experiments and the finished piece. Accompanying narratives by Donwood explain the inspirations and stories behind his creative process and what it is like to work with the band, told with his typical razor-sharp humour and generosity of spirit. Featuring a treasury of archive material, this is the first deep dive into Donwood's creative practice and the artistic freedom afforded to him by working for a major music act. There Will Be No Quiet is essential reading, and viewing, for fans of the band and anyone interested in the explosive mix of artistic accident, musical ingenuity and creative originality.

German edition Care, welfare and nurturing work ensure the foundations of human coexistence. This exhibition catalogue of Vienna's VERBUND COLLECTION presents works by artists who devote themselves to existential areas of caregiving. They reflect upon a new 'sign language of the kitchen'. They make paid and unpaid care work - often invisible and realised under precarious working conditions - visible as class politics. Touching photographs of care for elders show intergenerational solidarity. Female artists who are mothers address the evaluation of care work in the art world. Works by the Feminist Avant-garde of the 1970s are thereby set into a lively dialogue with contemporary works. Thus, the publication aims to contribute to the appreciation of care work, which is predominantly performed by women. <ul> <li>Discussion of the highly relevant topic of care/nurturing/welfare</li> <li>A lively dialogue between works from the Feminist avant-garde of the 1970s and contemporary works - including sculptures, objects, photographs, drawings and videos</li> <li>Participating artists: Akihito Yoshida, Aneta Grzeszykowska, Anna Kutera, Anna Schölß, Annegret Soltau, Birgit Jürgenssen, Christine Lederer, Elizabeth Catlett, Frida Orupabo, Hannah Cooke , Karin Mack, Kirsten Justesen, Laura Ribero, Lena Henke, Letícia Parente, Lorna Simpson, Mägorzata Markiewicz, Margaret Raspé, Maria Pini¿ska-Bere¿, Marlene Haring, Martha Rosler, Mary Sibande, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Natalia Iguiñiz, Nicole Wermers, Renate Bertlmann, Renate Eisenegger, Rosemarie Trockel, See Red Women's Workshop, Sophie Gogl, VALIE EXPORT&nbsp;</li> <li>An exhibition by the VERBUND COLLECTION, Vienna, Albertina, Vienna, March 13 to June 14, 2026</li> </ul>

A collection of evocative quotations from the pioneering artist that offer insights into her ideas about art and the natural world Georgia O’Keeffe was one of the most important and influential artists of the twentieth century. Bridging representation and abstraction, she depicted plants, flowers, cityscapes, and landscapes in iconic paintings whose unique style has become an indelible part of our visual culture. Drawn from her published writings, letters, interviews, and other sources, the quotes in O’Keeffe-isms provide insights into her artistic philosophy, creative process, and profound connection to the desert landscapes of New Mexico and the American Southwest. Poetic, fearless, and introspective, O’Keeffe-isms provides a vivid window into the mind of a beloved modernist artist who forged her own path.<ul><li>“I have wanted to paint the desert and I haven’t known how. I always think that I cannot stay with it long enough. So I brought home the bleached bones as my symbols of the desert. To me they are as beautiful as anything I know.”</li><li>“I do not like the idea of happiness—it is too momentary—I would say that I was always busy and interested in something—interest has more meaning to me than the idea of happiness.”</li><li>“The men decided they didn’t want me to paint New York. They wouldn’t let me. They told me to ‘leave New York to the men.’ I was furious!”</li><li>“I’ll tell you how I happened to make the blown-up flowers. In the twenties, huge buildings sometimes seemed to be going up overnight in New York. At that time I saw a painting by Fantin-Latour, a still-life with flowers I found very beautiful, but I realized that were I to paint the same flowers so small, no one would look at them because I was unknown. So I thought I’ll make them big like the huge buildings going up. People will be startled; they’ll have to look at them—and they did.”</li><li>“You decide on the kind of person you want to be, and then you get at it. It’s like a habit of neatness.” </li></ul>

O'Keeffe-isms

<div>The Artist’s Garden offers an intriguing study into 20 gardens that have inspired and been home to some of the greatest painters from history. This&nbsp;sumptuously illustrated and fascinating book delves into the&nbsp;stories behind the gardens which inspired some of the most beautiful and important works of art. These gardens not only supplied the inspiration for creative works but also illuminate the&nbsp;professional motivation and private life of the artists themselves – from Cezanne’s house in the south of France to Childe Hassam at Celia Thaxter’s garden off the coast off Maine. Flowers and gardens have often been the first choice for artists looking for a subject. A garden close to the artist’s studio is not only convenient for daily material and ideas, but also has the advantage of changing through the seasons and over time. Claude Monet’s Giverny was the catalyst for hundreds of great paintings (by Monet and other artists), each one different from the one before. Sometimes a whole village becomes the focus for a colony of artists as at Gerberoy in Picardy and Skagen on the northernmost tip of Denmark. This book is about the real homes and gardens that inspired these great artists – gardens that can still be visited today. The relationship between artist and garden is a complex one. A few artists, including Pierre Bonnard and his neighbour Monet were keen gardeners, as much in love with their plants as their work, while for others like Sorolla in Madrid, his courtyard home was both a sanctuary and a source of ideas. This book is as unmissable for art lovers as it is for anyone who knows the joy of time spent in gardens, offering an intriguing insight into the lives of these great painters and the gardens which inspired them to their creative heights. Now available in paperback.&nbsp;</div>

The secret spaces that inspired great art

The Artist's Garden

The work of photographer Peter Hujar defined downtown New York in the 1970s and 1980s. Paul Thek was an American sculptor and painter. Hujar and Thek met in 1956 and shared a strong intellectual and artistic connection that influenced the work of both artists. The Wonderful World That Almost Was follows the development of the intense friendship - and romance - between them, from their first encounter in Miami to the painful end of their friendship in the mid-1970s. It was during that period that Hujar and Thek produced some of their most famous and significant works, and this biography traces the ways in which these artists' work directly and indirectly influenced both one another and the wider cultural sphere, and features the large circle of friends and artists they shared, from Andy Warhol and Fran Lebowitz, to Susan Sontag and David Wojnarowicz.

A Life of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek

The Wonderful World that Almost Was

A Sunday Times Bestseller A thought-provoking work by a singular voice, this short, sharp essay invites us to critically reconsider power, ideology and the boundaries of free speech. Invisible, invasive and widely taken for granted, censorship is a globalized force as much driven by commercial interests as political agendas. Ai Weiwei - artist, activist and one of the world's most influential cultural figures - has first-hand experience of its power. In this urgent piece of writing, he makes a rallying cry for free speech in an age shaped by big data, mass surveillance and intrusive new technologies of control. Ai Weiwei examines how censorship persists both in the overt propagandizing and redactions of authoritarian regimes, as well as subtly within democratic frameworks, exploring how international corporations, cultural institutions, social media and so-called ideologies of 'freedom' have provided fertile ground for new, more insidious, suppressions.

Ai Weiwei on Censorship

Koudelka: Diaries offers insight into the mind of this iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for projects on the Roma, the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, and the impact humans have had on the landscape. Over the course of fifty-plus years Josef Koudelka has kept nearly seventy journals. Distilled now into one richly illustrated volume, Koudelka: Diaries offers a look inside the mind of the iconoclastic Czech photographer renowned for his life in exile and a career that has included seminal projects on the Roma, legendary coverage of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, and volumes on the often-devastating impact humans have had on the landscape. Revealed throughout the book are Koudelka's thoughts on photographers, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, and editors, curators, and friends, including Robert Delpire and Anna Fárová, along with notes on his legendary projects. Facsimiles of actual diary pages and images by the photographer, including self-portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. Josef Koudelka: Diaries provides a perfect companion to Josef Koudelka: Next (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris, editor at large at Aperture, and has been brought together by the same creative collaborators: designer Ales Najbrt and translators Derek and Marzia Paton.
