ANDY WARHOL "GIANT" SIZE
ANDY WARHOL "GIANT" SIZE is a massive, spectacular, visual biography of the life and career of Andy Warhol. Measuring 420 x 320mm (16 1/2 x 12 5/8 in.), with 624 pages, this huge book is a chronology of Warhol's life, from the cradle to the grave, using photos and artefacts from the depths of the Warhol Archive and the Warhol Foundation as well as material from private sources. With rare or unseen pictures of the New York glitterati over three decades along with receipts, letters, documents, family snaps, press cuttings… there is no better insight to the man beneath the wig. "GIANT" is the ultimate over-the-top scrap book on one of the biggest characters in 20th century art. Beginning with the registration of Andrew Warhola's birth on 8-6-28 in Pittsburgh, the book is packed with the treasured possessions and ephemera of an obsessive hoarder. Phaidon was granted unprecedented access to public and private archives and collections, including the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Andy Warhol Museum as well as the holdings of Warhol collaborators, personal friends, and photographers of the period. The book includes a staggering quantity and array of material including: childhood photographs of Warhol and his family; the magazine tear sheet showing the first article he illustrated for Glamour magazine when he arrived in New York in 1949; drawings of gold shoes he created in the 1950s; a letter from The Museum of Modern Art dated 1959 in which the Director of the Museum's Collections rejects an artwork Warhol offered them as a gift; photographs of Warhol posing with Edie Sedgwick in a New York fashion shoot; photographs of Warhol creating his famous silk screen prints in his studio; personal letters from Mick Jagger and Liz Taylor to Warhol; covers of Interview and pictures of Warhol in the office working on the magazine; pictures of Warhol private views; a series of shots of Warhol experimenting with make-up and wigs; ending with the order of service for his Memorial Mass on 1 April, 1987 and his gravestone.
The Art Book
An A to Z guide to 500 great painters and sculptors from medieval to modern times, it debunks art-historical classifications by throwing together brilliant examples of all periods, schools, visions and techniques. Each artist is represented by a full-page colour plate of a definitive work, accompanied by explanatory and illuminating information on the image and its creator. Glossaries of artistic movements and technical terms are included, making this a valuable work of reference as well as a feast for the eyes. By breaking with traditional classifications, The Art Book presents a fresh and original approach to art: an unparalleled visual sourcebook and a celebration of our rich and multi-faceted. Lawrence Alma-Tadema
In this original and penetrating study, Rosemary Barrow presents an absorbing and often amusing portrait of an exuberant personality who carved out a brilliant career for himself at the heart of London's artistic and cultural elite. But above all she subjects the paintings to a fresh scrutiny, and reveals that Alma-Tadema, a knowledgeable student of antiquity, repeatedly used literary and archaeological allusions in his paintings to subvert their apparently innocent meaning. Neglected after his death, Alma-Tadema's paintings are once again admired for their beauty and their remarkable mastery of light, colour and texture. With its fresh and intriguing new insights into his personality and intentions, this book now provides a challenging reassessment of a major artist. Art Today
Since its first publication in 1995, Art Today has become recognised as an indispensable introduction to contemporary art. It is now reissued as a paperback, at a price that will make it affordable to students and all who seek orientation in this exciting but complex field.
Architecture, Garden, Landscape Design The Phaidon Atlas
View the special feature at www.phaidon.com/atlas The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture presents a global survey of the most outstanding works of contemporary architecture from around the world completed in the last five years. Organized geographically and illustrated with global, regional and sub-regional maps locating each building, the book illustrates more than 1,000 completed buildings, and includes some of the most influential projects as well as many lesser-known buildings from around the world. Sections on World Data, Building Data and Architect's Biographies build up a detailed picture of the influences on contemporary architecture today. Every building type, from the largest publicly-funded art museums and airports to private houses, is covered, and each project is illustrated with colour photographs, line drawings and a descriptive text. The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary Architecture presents a comprehensive survey of international architecture at the turn of the twenty-first century. Eminent architectural critics, curators, journalists and practitioners from all parts of the globe were asked to nominate what they considered to be the most outstanding works of contemporary architecture in their regions and beyond. The resulting c.1,050 buildings both confirm the far-reaching influence of well-known and respected international practitioners such as Jean Nouvel, Tadao Ando, Renzo Piano, Sir Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas and Herzog & De Meuron, as well as introducing a host of lesser-known architects whose work provides an illuminating point of comparison with their famous counterparts. The Atlas is divided into six geographical regions with detailed maps in each section providing geographical orientation and an understanding of where contemporary architecture is being commissioned, designed and built. The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture will be essential reading for all those interested in gaining a true understanding of where the best contemporary architecture is located in the world.
