Basquiat: Headstrong

Strikingly original and abundantly illustrated,&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity&nbsp;surveys the golden age of natural history art, exploring the alliance between scientists and artists that first revealed the astonishing diversity of life on Earth.With more than 330 color illustrations of surpassing beauty,&nbsp;this book reveals&nbsp;a story about art that's not in the art history books, and a story about science that's missing from histories of science. Here, such giants as Linnaeus, Buffon, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Darwin cross paths with superb artists, including Merian, Redouté, Audubon, and Haeckel, among many others.An essential visual companion to popular narratives like Andrea Wulf's&nbsp;The Invention of Nature&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jason Roberts's&nbsp;Every Living Thing, this volume provides a definitive archival record of the era that defined modern biology.Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature's great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word "biodiversity" existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin's lyrical evocation of nature's "endless forms most beautiful."The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal, and so science and art, for the first and last time, went exploring together.This art first appeared in vividly illustrated books that, in a world without photography or film, offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature.&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity&nbsp;introduces the reader to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. They focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in tropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, and dug prehistoric bones out of the earth.After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet, as the natural history books in the world's great libraries were digitized and made available to all.Chronicling the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world,&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity is a must-have for historians of science, collectors of botanical and zoological art, and anyone captivated by the enduring beauty of the living world.

Artists & Naturalists, 1700–1900

The Art of Biodiversity

The World According To

A compact, illustrated collection of Henri Matisse's insights into art and life. In addition to being a formidable artist, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a prolific letter writer and regular contributor to many publications. Following in the successful format of 'The World According to ...' series, this anthology of quotations unites Matisse's thoughts and artworks to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Covering topics ranging from fame - 'An artist must never be ... a prisoner of success' - to war and occupation - 'All is well here, but we see things that are hilarious and dreadful all at once' - art - 'All colours sing together; they have the essential force of a choir' - and work - 'When you work to please other people, you achieve nothing' - The World According to Matisse paints a picture of a life as lively as it was rich. Beautifully designed and illustrated with works of art from throughout Matisse's storied career, this is the perfect gift for art lovers everywhere.

The World According to Matisse

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'A whirlwind of encounters . . . a pioneer in melding art, poetry and science' Art Basel

Visit Richter's installation in situ through this pocket-size colorful flip bookPrismatic, monolithic, impenetrable: Gerhard Richter's Strip-Tower (962) (2023) is a public art piece that combines the aesthetics of his Abstract and Strip paintings with the formal rigor of three-dimensional sculpture. The piece debuted at Serpentine in London's Kensington Gardens from April 2024 to February 2025, and is now on display in the mountains of Engadin, Switzerland, until 2029. To accompany the more traditional portrait-format paperback catalog, HENI publishes a 160-page flip book that allows for the 360-degree view of Strip-Tower that Richter intended. This edition maintains two texts from the small-format paperback, but through the act of flipping, this edition sets the sculpture into motion in the reader's hands.

The first retrospective on Parasol Press, a New York-based print publisher that swiftly became a critical force in both American printmaking and the contemporary art world &nbsp; Parasol Press: Breaking New Ground is the first retrospective to survey the breadth of Parasol Press's remarkable publications between 1970 and 2014. Founded by Robert Feldman in New York, the publisher came to prominence for introducing a generation of Minimalist and Conceptual artists to printmaking. Working in the 1970s with artists such as Mel Bochner, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Edda Renouf, Dorothea Rockburne, and Robert Ryman, Parasol's editions were among the decade's most ambitious prints, showcasing the complex and varied ways Minimalist artists explored the materiality of printed surfaces while challenging the medium's limits. Collaborating with printers including Kathan Brown at Crown Point Press and Michael Domberger at Edition Domberger, Parasol Press took risks on technically daring feats, including Chuck Close's creation of the largest mezzotint ever produced, Richard Estes's intricate photorealistic screenprints consisting of hundreds of layers of color, and a multiartist portfolio made entirely from rubber stamps. Over the next decades, Parasol would go on to publish innovative editions by more than one hundred artists, including Eric Fischl, Susan Rothenberg, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, and Donald Sultan. Parasol's final project in 2014 continued to break boundaries, inviting ten award-winning physicists and mathematicians to produce a portfolio containing what they considered to be the most beautiful equations, exquisitely rendered in aquatint, like chalk on a chalkboard. This comprehensive account provides a unique and dynamic snapshot of a radically changing art world, demonstrating how a range of artists approached, explored, and experimented with the medium of print. Parasol Press reveals how the groundbreaking publisher helped forge transformative connections between dozens of artists and printers, capturing not only the innovative approaches of renowned artists but also emphasizing the significance of risk-taking, collaboration, and experimentation in pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. &nbsp; Distributed for the Addison Gallery of American Art&nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, MA (January 24-July 31, 2026) Print Center New York (September 17-December 19, 2026)

Phaidon Contemporary Artists Series

The first comprehensive monograph on visual artist and filmmaker Rosa Barba, one of the most critically acclaimed artists working todayRosa Barba is a Berlin-based artist whose work offers a crucial deconstruction of film and sculpture and how the two relate to each other. While her installations and site-specific interventions challenge and reconstitute the viewer's notions of cinema and its staging vis-à-vis gesture, genre, documents, and information, her films settle at an ambiguous point between experimental documentary and fictional narrative, thriving in a contemporary moment while hinging on fleeting memory and encroaching uncertainty.Predicated by extensive study in a variety of places, and occasionally enhanced by live performances conceived to activate her pieces, Barba's art provides an experience that brings back the audience to the bewildered, complex reality that surrounds us every day.Extensively illustrated with more than 150 photographs, this first monograph on the groundbreaking artist includes essays and texts from art-world luminaries, an illuminating new interview with Barba, studio photography, and more.

Rosa Barba

Named a Must-Read Book by W Magazine, Time, and more “Everybody’s Fly could comfortably sit alongside books by Richard Price, Lucy Sante, Tom Wolfe, or Ed McBain, chronicling New York from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s with both vivid, journalistic descriptions and the outsized flair from a person who was at the center of it all.” —Rolling Stone “An exuberant recounting of how a culturally omnivorous kid from Brooklyn willed himself into the wider, shinier world—like Moss Hart’s Act One, but with beatboxing and cans of Krylon spray paint.” —The New Yorker An electrifying memoir from the pioneering cultural icon The New Yorker called “the coolest person in New York,” whose fearless creativity reshaped the worlds of art, music, and style Fab 5 Freddy doesn’t just have a great story—he is the story. Name a seismic cultural shift, and chances are, he wasn’t just there—he was helping to make it happen. He’s among the first graffiti artists to turn subway tags into fine art, the visionary behind the first hip-hop movie, the bridge between Jean-Michel Basquiat and the downtown new wave scene, the first person to take rap global on MTV, and the opening rhyme of Blondie’s number-one smash hit “Rapture”—“Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody’s fly”—the song that propelled hip-hop from the New York streets to mainstream culture. With a spirit of joyful creativity and a deep capacity for connecting with kindred spirits (Basquiat, Haring, Lee, Flash, Warhol, and the Clash, to name a few), he shattered racial and artistic boundaries, bridging worlds and raising underground movements to pop culture dominance. Everybody’s Fly is a fast-moving, all-access pass to Fred’s extraordinary life—one that begins in a book- and jazz-filled Brooklyn home and takes us deep into New York’s creative explosions from the 1970s into the 1990s. He didn’t just shape culture, he synthesized it—from highbrow to street, the Bronx to the East Village, punk to rap, Warhol to Wild Style. Whether he’s skipping school to wander New York City’s museums, painting subway cars that became moving masterpieces, or bringing hip-hop to downtown clubs for the first time, Fred’s genius has always been in seeing what others couldn’t—until he made them see it too. Vibrant, rhapsodic, and compulsively readable, Everybody’s Fly is at once an intimate memoir and panoramic cultural history. It is a love letter to the art of seeing, a fascinating account of an inimitable creative life, and a celebration of what it means to shape culture.

Everybody's Fly

'A book full of heart - frank and confessional - that presents Emin at the zenith of her powers, having survived near-fatal cancer and found new purpose and conviction ... this concise, elegant and beautifully illustrated study, with Gayford's skilful and always apposite narrative, is as thought-provoking as it is readable, and I closed it with a greatly enriched understanding of the mysterious process by which life is transmuted into art' Ariane Bankes, The Spectator 'Gayford is an established confidant of painters, the artist-whisperer of Lucian Freud and David Hockney. He elicits a remarkable trove of information and opinion from Emin ... My Heart Is This is the story of how a dark stretch in her life led Emin to a new love and appreciation of paint and greater facility at the canvas. It will appeal to her many fans as well as the gallery crowd' Stephen Smith, Financial Times Tracey Emin talks about painting: what it is, why she does it, why it matters. Richly illustrated with photographs of the artist and her art, here is a vivid and intimate portrait of her life and work in her own words, in conversation with art critic Martin Gayford. Emin reflects on painting - how she approaches it, why it matters to her, and how it connects to her life - and how everything has changed since her cancer diagnosis. 'Every image has first entered my mind, travelled through my heart, my blood - arriving at the end of my hand. Everything has come through me.' Offering a uniquely personal insight into the artist's extraordinary life and career, Emin expresses herself in her characteristically frank, confessional style that is so familiar to anyone who has seen her paintings. This is Tracey Emin on her own terms: on learning to paint, on living her life after cancer, and relearning why painting matters to her above everything else.

New York Times Notable Book“A smart, crackling chronicle of fast game, the ’80s art market, [and] the attraction of destruction.”— Village Voice&nbsp;A bold and vivid biography that chronicles the dazzling rise and tragic death of Neo-expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.In less than a decade, Jean-Michel Basquiat went from being a teenage graffiti artist to an international art star. His meteoric rise to fame coincided with the outrageous excess of the heady ’80s art boom. A fixture of the downtown scene, with its explosive mix of music, fashion, art, and drugs, he soon became involved with some of its most celebrated personalities, including Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and Madonna.&nbsp;Basquiat fulfilled that cynical aphorism: Die young and leave a beautiful corpse. But Basquiat did more than that: he left a beautiful corpus. With each passing year, the remarkable energy, perspicacity and originality of his work increases in power.&nbsp;In a world where Black Lives Matter and the imperative need for diversity are among the driving forces of our time, Basquiat’s success in the 1980s white art world, and his ongoing universal celebrity, have made him a significant role model for generation of artists to come.&nbsp;From the rise and fall of the graffiti movement, to the East Village art scene, to the art dealers and out-of-control auction houses, Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art, the definitive biography of the young painter, is a vivid portrait of both the artist and his time.&nbsp;Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art includes 12-14 photographs.

<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>
