From green roofs to living walls, from the pocket gardens of Le Corbusier''s Unite d''Habitation to the lush couryards and conservatory of London''s Barbican Centre, Olivia Broome has curated an impressive selection of striking images from around the world.

Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch Erstklassige Street Photography mit künstlerischem Anspruch Fernab der Hektik von New York City: Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien mit einer ruhigen Ästhetik und Atmosphäre Mit bemerkenswerten Aufnahmen der menschenleeren Straßen New Yorks während des Covid Lockdowns Für alle, die auf der Suche nach einem außergewöhnlichen Coffee Table Book über New York sind. "New York Street Diaries" ist ein beeindruckender Bildband für alle Fans des Big Apple. Phil Penman zeigt darin die Großstadt an der Ostküste der USA von einer Seite, die nur selten zu sehen ist, nämlich ruhig und beschaulich. Die Bilder entstanden teils während des großen Schneesturms und teils während des Corona Lockdowns und sind damit Zeitzeugen der Pandemiebeschränkungen, die unsere bis dato bekannte Welt völlig auf den Kopf stellten. Der gebürtige Brite fotografiert seit weit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten auf den Straßen New Yorks. Bekannt ist er unter anderem durch seine Aufnahmen von berühmten Größen wie Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez oder Bill Gates. Als am 11. September 2001 die größte Tragödie in der Geschichte New Yorks die Stadt erschütterte, war Phil Penman vor Ort und schuf einzigartige Zeitaufnahmen der Ereignisse mit seiner Kamera. Penman versteht es auf beeindruckende Art und Weise die Stadt in ihren sensibelsten Momenten abzulichten. Er fängt in seinen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien intime Momente ein und zeigt die Menschen und Straßen von New York City weit abseits von Hektik und Trubel. Das Stadtleben der Metropole wird dabei so hautnah präsentiert, dass einige Bilder beim Betrachter unweigerlich ein Lächeln hervorrufen. Penman katapultiert seinen Leser mit einer erfrischenden Direktheit förmlich in die Szene hinein und man hat das Gefühl wirklich anwesend zu sein. Das großformatige und aufwendig gestaltete Coffee Table Book zeigt die besten Fotografien von Phil Penman und sollte bei keinem New-York-Liebhaber zu Hause fehlen. Ob als Geschenk oder einfach nur für sich selbst, dieser Bildband ist so wundervoll, dass man ihn kaum noch aus der Hand legen möchte.

Im Jahre 1983 verriet der japanische Modeschöpfer Issey Miyake dem New Yorker, er wolle gänzlich neue Wege in der Mode beschreiten. Diesem Vorsatz blieb er treu: Mit einer einzigartigen Fusion von Poesie und Tragbarkeit verwischen seine Kreationen die Grenzen zwischen Tradition, moderner Technologie und alltäglicher Funktionalität.Dieser Band über Issey Miyakes Mode zeigt, wie intensiv er sich von 1960 bis 2022 mit Textilforschung, mit Stoffen, Strukturen und Techniken befasst hat und wie kühn er seine Vision von einem Brückenschlag zwischen Tradition und Innovation, Natur und Technologie, östlicher und westlicher Kultur realisiert hat. Midori Kitamura, die fast 50 Jahre lang mit Miyake zusammenarbeitete, zeichnet seine Karriere von der Gründung des Miyake Design Studios in Tokio über sein revolutionäres A Piece of Cloth-Konzept, die Entwürfe der Body Series der 1980er-Jahre und der Miyake Pleats-Kollektion der 1990er bis zu den praktischen Pleats Please-Alltagsstücken nach.Kulturikone Kazuko Koike führt chronologisch durch seine faszinierenden Kollektionen, seine Visionen und Inspirationen. Eine Pflichtlektüre für jeden Modeschöpfer, -studenten und -fan und eine fesselnde Hommage an einen der innovativsten Modemacher unserer Zeit.

Der international renommierte Künstler und Fotograf Hiroshi Sugimoto hat durch seine ausgiebigen Erkundungen der Möglichkeiten von Fotografie einige der verführerischsten und rätselhaftesten Bildwerke unserer Zeit geschaffen. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine bieteteinen umfassenden Überblick über die Arbeiten der letzten fünf Jahrzehnte. Die Publikation vereint seine wichtigsten fotografischen Serien wie Theaters und Seascapes, bis zu weniger bekannten Werken, die seinen innovativen, konzeptionellen Ansatz beleuchten. Beiträgevon internationalen Schriftsteller*innen, Künstler*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen - darunter James Attlee, Allie Biswas, David Chipperfield, Edmund de Waal, Mami Kataoka, Ralph Rugoff, Lara Strongman und Margaret Wertheim - beleuchten seine philosophische und zugleich spielerische Auseinandersetzung mit unserem Verständnis von Zeit und Erinnerung sowie dem paradoxen Charakter der Fotografie zwischen Dokumentation und Erfindung. HIROSHI SUGIMOTO (*1948, Tokio) stellte mit seinen enigmatischen Werken das Verständnis von Fotografie als objektiver Kunstform grundlegend in Frage. Nach seinem Studium der Soziologie und Politologie in Tokio und seinem Fotografiestudium in Los Angeles Anfang der 1970er-Jahre, zog er 1974 nach New York, wo seine erste Serie Dioramas entstand. Sein besonderes Interesse gilt der Architektur, abstrakten Formen und nicht greifbaren Phänomenen.

A visually stunning, intimate photographic tour of Pompeii¿s spaces, including many that have never been seen by the public. Pompeii, one of the most astonishing and well-preserved sites of classical antiquity, is also one of the world¿s most visited architectural sites. This lavish volume takes readers on a tour of Pompeii through an array of visually compelling and original photographs by Italian artist Luigi Spina. Produced in partnership with the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, readers are expertly guided through the Roman city¿s nine districts, including many hidden corners that are inaccessible to most visitors. Pompeii¿s architecture is a central feature of the images, which were shot at all times of day, in all seasons, and in natural light. Lacy peristyles and rows of column fragments give way to intimate, atmospheric interior spaces. Mosaic floors and beautiful ¿ albeit fragmentary ¿ wall paintings are reproduced with stunning fidelity and sensitivity. The book also includes an essay by Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii archaeological park, and several meditations on the history, architecture and natural beauty of the city. Inside Pompeii provides the wondrous experience of wandering through this remarkable site without ever leaving home.

"Doyle's modesty of language conceals a profound tolerance of the human complexity"-John Le Carr "Every Writer owes something to Holmes." -T.S. EliotWhile the controversy of Psychic Photography was gripping the early 20th Century United Kingdom, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle set out to investigate the most notable cases. In The Case for Spirit Photography, he aimed to defend the validity of capturing images of spirits with a camera. The spectacle of spirit photography had become popular in the late 19th Century, but by the 1920's The Crewe Circle, an infamous English spiritualist group had become the center of a national controversy attacking spirit photography as a hoax.Doyle, a leader of the Spiritualist movement, wrote this investigation in defense of the group, and conjointly looks at other cases of supernatural incidences. As we face current public figures dismissive of empirical scientific evidence, this is a fascinating look at the intrigue of conviction. As the writer of one of fictions most colorful and abiding detectives, Doyle's deductions in The Case for Spirit Photography are enthralling. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Case is both modern and readable.

"With pieces drawn from the extensive personal collection of Pharrell Williams, this is a stunning and unprecedented exploration of the "bling" in hip-hop culture and fashion. Few recording artists have had a greater hand in incorporating the culture of hip-hop into contemporary luxury than Pharrell Williams. Collaborating with Louis Vuitton nearly two decades ago, Pharrell was the first to have his designs integrated into the haute joaillerie of the great maisons. His innovative team-ups continue through to the present day, most memorably with Tiffany and Chanel, and the watchmaker Richard Mille. The most extravagant of these chains, rings, and pendants--crafted in precious metals and studded with gems--are as much a part of Pharrell's musical performance as they are of his personal style. His designs, which include one-off pieces such as solid-gold cases for mobile phones and handheld game consoles, have been legendary for featuring iconography of Pharrell's own brands, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. This book was originally published with two different colored covers. Customers will be shipped either of the colors at random. Featured in the book are over 100 pieces, many of which he created in tandem with some of the most recognizable designers in the industry--such as Jacob & Co, Yoon & Verbal, and Lorraine Schwartz. With frequent collaborators such as NIGOª and Tyler the Creator, Pharrell discusses his role in the evolution of hip-hop jewelry, the processes involved in the creation of his one-of-a-kind custom pieces, and the state of connoisseurship in a growing market for the most extravagant of hip-hop collectibles" --

Louis Vuitton, the global luxury fashion house, and world-famous artist Yayoi Kusama partner again, and in the storied history of the brand s epic collaborations with artists, this is the most ambitious to date.

"'I was a writer, but not the writer I needed to be. For that I had to become a different person,' Robert Glèuck, widely acclaimed as a novelist and as a theorist of 'the new narrative,' recently told the Paris Review, in which a section of About Ed has appeared. About Ed is Glèuck's portrait of the artist Ed Aulerich-Sugai, his sometime lover, met in the seventies in San Francisco, when gay life emerged unabashedly from the closet. 'I wanted to find in Ed something to latch on to that was outside my egotism and fear, my threadbare relation to the world-a leap through Ed into lyric time,' Glèuck has said, and in this book that is both 'a novel and my version of an AIDS memoir' he wanted to capture the full range of his feelings for Ed: 'estranged from Ed, bored by him, moved by him.' It is a book about the life they lived together-art and writing and family and sex and death-and, composed over many decades, it is also a book about how the past continues to change in memory and to charge the present. 'What is the right question to ask about a life?' Glèuck asks, describing About Ed as a 'collaborative project,' since 'Ed helped me write this book.' Ed gave him 'notes to fashion a chapter about the day he was diagnosed so I could describe his experience from the inside,' and 'after Ed died, Daniel, Ed's partner, lent me Ed's dream journals.... He started writing them in 1970, the year that we met. We both used his journals, not as puzzles to solve the truth of a self but as a commons producing images that we harvested for paintings and poems. And fifty years later, there I was reading and copying out and running away from his dreams. Are they a condensed version of Ed? Shorthand? Distillation? Is he knowable and unknowable in the same degree sleeping or waking?' About Ed is a challenging and beautiful book by one of America's finest and most adventurous writers"

A quiet revolution has been gathering pace in photography - an exploration of the subtleties, excitement and pleasure in making images in black and white.

Broken down into chapters covering every type of monochrome photography, the book provides both a practical guide to working without the distraction colour, details of the unique challenges posed by a genre that is so defined by shape and light and the ways in which working in monochrome can hugely improve your photographic practice.
