Lives of the Great Makers celebrates the aesthetic flair, design skills, and technical ingenuity that define exceptional craftspeople whose pioneering masterpieces have, over the centuries, changed the nature and direction of the decorative arts. Featuring biographies of notable European and North American makers--ranging from furniture makers such as Thomas Chippendale, designer and entrepreneur Louis Comfort Tiffany, and woodcarvers such as Grinling Gibbons to textile artists including Gunta Stölzl, silversmiths such as Paul Storr, and ceramicists such as Lucie Rie--this richly illustrated book also includes remarkable pieces by glassmakers and engravers, enamellists, jewellers, and others who represent the very pinnacle of their craft.Written by curatorial experts at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the featured lives of some forty women and men from the past 500 years explore how their work was shaped by patronage, trade, migration, war, empire, and the evolution of ideas. Also included are brief introductions to individual periods of history that set the lives in their broader cultural context. This uplifting and fascinating book helps to define the enduring appeal of the objects that surround us and that represent some of the highest achievements of human creativity.

Rare architectural drawings from the Gothic period uncover a flourishing tradition of design and draftsmanship, making this book essential for understanding the roots of modern architecture &nbsp; The Gothic era produced some of the Western world's most imposing structures, today icons of the European cityscape. Unlike buildings from the Renaissance onward, these medieval works are rarely discussed as the products of the ingenious, innovative contributions of individual architects. This book challenges that common perception by asserting the significant impact of draftsmanship on the development of the Gothic style from the twelfth to early sixteenth century. The rediscovery of a little-known corpus of architectural drawings and prints reveals the crucial role of drawings in the development of complex and visually appealing structures-from monumental stone cathedrals to small liturgical objects. Gothic by Design includes surprising ties to contemporary concerns, showing how these works on paper functioned on and off the building site, established the basis for modern concepts of artistic identity and intellectual property, and provided evidence of the long afterlife of Gothic design strategies and their potential use today in sustainable architecture. &nbsp; Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press &nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: &nbsp; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (April 16-July 19, 2026)

The Dawn of Architectural Draftsmanship

Gothic by Design

A new understanding of Marcel Duchamp and his significance as an artist through an investigation of his non-art activities—archiving, art-dealing, and, most persistently, curating. This groundbreaking and richly illustrated book tells a new story of the twentieth century's most influential artist, recounted not so much through his artwork as through his “non-art” work. Marcel Duchamp is largely understood in critical and popular discourse in terms of the objects he produced, whether readymade or meticulously fabricated. Elena Filipovic asks us instead to understand Duchamp's art through activities not normally seen as artistic—from exhibition making and art dealing to administrating and publicizing. These were no occasional pursuits; Filipovic argues that for Duchamp, these fugitive tasks were a veritable lifework. Drawing on many rarely seen images, Filipovic traces a variety of practices and projects undertaken by Duchamp from 1913 to 1969, from his invention of the readymade to the release of his last, posthumous work. She examines Duchamp's note writing, archiving, and quasi-photographic activities, which resulted in the Box of 1914 and the Green Box; his art dealing, marketing, and curating that culminated in experimental exhibitions for the Surrealists and his miniature museum, The Boîte-en-valise; and his administrative efforts and clandestine maneuvering in order to posthumously embed his Étant donnés into a museum. Demonstrating how those activities reflect the artist's questioning of reproduction and originality, as well as photography and the exhibition, Filipovic proposes that Duchamp's “non-art” labor, and in particular his curatorial strategies, more than merely accompanied his more famous artworks; in a certain sense, they made them. Through Duchamp's elusive but vital activities he revised the idea of what a modern artist could be. With this fascinating book, Filipovic in turn revises the very idea of Duchamp.

"Art has poisoned our life", proclaimed De Stijl co-founder Theo van Doesburg. Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of the First World War, from Paris to New York, from Zurich to Moscow and Berlin, avant-gardists challenged the confines of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas itself. Morgan Falconer starts with the dynamic Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto extolling speed, destruction and modernity seeded avant-gardes across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought to replace art with political cabaret and the Surrealists tried to exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious. Falconer goes on to guide us through the Russian Constructivists and then De Stijl, the Bauhaus and finally, the Situationists.How to Be Avant-Garde is a journey through the interlocking networks of richly creative lives, their sometimes sympathetic but often strange and turbulent conversations, and their objects and writings that defied categorisation.

'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.
