This publication expands our understanding of the conceptual and post-conceptual art movements and Piper’s pivotal position among her peers and for later generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthors: \u003c\/b\u003eChristophe Cherix and Cornelia Butler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 352 pages | 373 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e March 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN: \u003c\/b\u003e978-1633450493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReviews\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstrong\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e'a stunning overview of Piper's lifelong engagement with philosophical thinking and art'\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e- Bomb Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstrong\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e'A 50-year survey of an American artist who has taken racism, misogyny and xenophobia as her themes, while refusing to be defined by them, it made the museum feel like a life-engaged place, not the high-polish, content-muting one we've grown used to.'\u003c\/em\u003e - New York Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstrong\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Published in conjunction with her most comprehensive exhibition yet, an exhibition that Holland Cotter of The New York Times claimed \"made the museum feel like a life-engaged place, not the high-polish, content-muting one we’ve grown used to,\" this 350 page catalog presents more than 280 artworks that encompass the full range of Piper’s mediums: works on paper, video, multimedia installation, performance, painting, sound and photo-texts.\u003c\/em\u003e' - Art Forum\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MoMA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12067100852297,"sku":"9781633450493","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/products\/adrian-piper-synthesis-of-intuitions-1965-2016-9781633450493-28495257141321.jpg?v=1634833126"},{"product_id":"frida-kahlo-making-her-self-up","title":"Frida Kahlo : Making Her Self Up","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe beautiful companion book to an exhibition at the V\u0026amp;A which explores the clothing, jewellery and cosmetics of artist, Frida Kahlo.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIn 1954, following her death, Frida Kahlo's possessions were locked away in the Casa Azul in Mexico City, her lifelong home.

Throughout her fruitful career she inspired a reconsideration of fabrics, both in their functional roles and as wall hangings, truly establishing thread and weaving as a valid medium for art.

In 2018, a groundbreaking exhibition, together with this accompanying publication will present Albers's most important works to fully explore and redefine her contribution to twentieth-century art and design, and highlight Albers's significance as an artist in her own right, rather than alongside her husband Josef . Contextualising Albers's early career at the Bauhaus, and her teaching years at Black Mountain College, this beautifully illustrated book will showcase major commissioned works, wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies, jewellery designed and made by Albers and a selection of her prints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA series of short texts from a range of experts will focus on key works and themes, relating aspects of Albers's practice to her seminal texts On Designing and On Weaving, and drawing in broader contextual material, including examples of Andean textiles which Albers collected and in which she found intense inspiration for her understanding of woven thread as a form of language. Illuminating Albers's skill as a weaver, her material awareness and acute understanding of art and design, this much-needed publication is a celebration of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, and her endless creativity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAnn Coxon, Curator of International Art, Tate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 192 pages | 120 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e June 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN: \u003c\/b\u003e978-1849765688\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e26.4 x 21.1\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31243680284745,"sku":"9781849765688","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/products\/anni-albers-9781849765688-28503675699273.jpg?v=1635351713"},{"product_id":"ithell-colquhoun-genius-of-the-fern-loved-gully","title":"Ithell Colquhoun : Genius of The Fern Loved Gully","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first in-depth biographical study of the British surrealist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers the first in-depth biographical study of the British surrealist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun, situating her art within the magical contexts that shaped her imaginative life and work.

Integrating horticulture and art ranging from the artist's early sketches to monumental, immersive works making their debut at NYBG, this exhibition will explore the profound impact of the natural world through new, critical perspectives on Kusama's philosophy of life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe catalogue brings together renowned experts on this important artist's work, including Mika Yoshitake, curator of Kusama's blockbuster 2017 exhibition on the infinity rooms; Alexandra Munroe, senior curator at the Guggenheim, who has been working with the artist for many years, and Jenni Sorkin, curator and art historian, who is writing on the artist for the first time at length.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMika Yoshitake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 128 pages | 150 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e June 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN: \u003c\/b\u003e978-0847868391\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e26.7 x 24.1\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"New York Botanical Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31316676542537,"sku":"9780847868391","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/products\/new-york-botanical-gardens-yayoi-kusama-cosmic-nature-13726839308361.jpg?v=1586285917"},{"product_id":"dorothea-tanning-art-and-life","title":"Dorothea Tanning : Transformations","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productDescriptionWrapper\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA definitive study of US artist Dorothea Tanning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productDescriptionWrapper\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis richly illustrated book looks at the life and work of the artist Dorothea Tanning and positions her as one of the most fascinating and significant creative forces to emerge from the 20th century.

Drawing on personal conversations with the artist as well as original research, Michel Remy examines the life and work of the artist through-out her long career, from her passage through Cubism and abstraction to Surrealism, as well as her dedicated participation in Surrealist activities in England and abroad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach period is illustrated with many striking images, including rare photographs, and supported by penetrating interpretations.

Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice – one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccompanying the first major survey exhibition of the artist’s work in the United States, Hilma af Klint represents her groundbreaking painting series while expanding recent scholarship to present the fullest picture yet of the artist’s life and work. Essays explore the social, intellectual, and artistic milieu of af Klint’s 1906 break with figuration and her subsequent development, placing her in the context of Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist and occult movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars, and curators considers af Klint’s sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eTracey Bashkoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 244 pages \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e October 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 978-0892075430\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e29.6 x \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e22.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e  cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Guggenheim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31569353900105,"sku":"9780892075430","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/products\/hilma-af-klint-paintings-for-the-future-9780892075430-28594356486217.jpg?v=1639658745"},{"product_id":"eileen-hogan-personal-geographies","title":"Eileen Hogan : Personal Geographies","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e'This handsome, profusely illustrated, near 300-page volume, with essays by Duncan Robinson, Elisabeth Fairman, Todd Longstaffe-Gowan and others, reveals more than half a century's creative output, from her time as a teenager at Camberwell College of Art to today's septuagenarian professor of Fine Art and painter of London's gardens and hidden spaces, as well as a royal portraitist\u003c\/em\u003e' - Country Life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA visually stunning survey providing an in-depth look at Eileen Hogan's working methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCovering her entire career, this handsome book focuses particularly on two dominant themes in the artist's oeuvre-enclosed gardens and portraiture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer depictions of gardens range from London's well-known Kew Gardens and Chelsea Physic Garden to Little Sparta, Ian Hamilton Finlay's garden in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh.

Against the odds, these women produced invaluable visual testimony that reflects both their personal experiences and the extraordinary social and political transformations of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAndrea Nelson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 288 pages | 8 colour and 269 illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e September 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery\u003c\/strong\u003e: Allow 1-2 weeks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 978-1942884743\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 30.7 x 25.6\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"National Gallery of Art\/Metropolitan Museum of Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31863613194313,"sku":"9781942884743","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/the-new-woman-behind-the-camera-9781942884743-1226455176.jpg?v=1772993316"},{"product_id":"tracey-emin","title":"Tracey Emin","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e'a powerful and incisive tribute to one of the bravest female artists of our time'\u003c\/em\u003e -  \u003c\/span\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn accessible and expertly written introduction and overview of Tracey Emin's life \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom some of her previously unpublished early works from the 1980s, through the period of the 'Young British Artists' when she first found international fame, and up to her very latest works -
