Whether life-sized or small-scale, Xiaodong's paintings document the people of the Shaanbei region with both realism and pathosChinese artist Liu Xiaodong's (born 1963) most personally significant project to date, Shaanbei is his series on the eponymous Chinese province and birthplace of the People's Republic of China, which Xiaodong frequented as an art student and which he revisited to paint in 2018.

Surveying over five decades of shimmering, gold leaf-coated tapestries from an underappreciated master of textile artColombian artist Olga de Amaral (born 1932) makes large-scale textiles and woven walls of fabric that incorporate the use of gold and silver leaf, evoking gilded churches and byzantine mosaics. This volume accompanies her inaugural exhibition at Lisson Gallery, showcasing a selection of her works since the 1960s.

Recent works by the great exponent of hard-edged architectural abstractionThis publication highlights a selection of works by Cuban American artist Carmen Herrera (born 1915) from the past decade. At 105 years old, Herrera has developed her signature geometric style over the course of decades spent in New York City and postwar Paris, as well as her hometown of Havana; however, it was only in the early 2000s that she began to receive acclaim for her work. The origins of her process trace back to her early studies in architecture at the Universidad de La Habana in Cuba from 1938 to 1939. She often credits this training as where she learned to draw and to think abstractly, stating, "I wouldn't paint the way I do if I hadn't gone to architecture school." While Herrera's process is often characterized by meticulous constraint and distillation of color and shape, it is perhaps best described as a perfect synergy of artistic and scientific creativity.

A contemporary history painter addresses the pandemicChinese artist Liu Xiaodong (born 1963) has been addressing radical shifts in society such as population displacement and environmental crisis for over three decades. This publication features a series of watercolor paintings that document the changing landscape of New York City during the height of the pandemic.

Stacking as sculptural procedure across five decades of Cragg's artThis career-spanning publication focuses on the history of Tony Cragg's (born 1949) Stack works that began in the late 1960s, when, as a student, he began piling up miscellaneous and recycled detritus from the studio in order to create large rectilinear sculptures that refuted the usual clean lines of minimalism.

Colour inspires and informs the work of Stanley Whitney (b. 1946, Philadelphia, USA) whose paintings explore the many possibilities created by the tessellation and juxtaposition of irregular rectangles in varying shades of strength and subtlety. Within the composition of these adjacent nodes - a structure that fluctuates between freedom and constraint, between endless open fields and controlled boundaries - is ultimately a play between complementing and competing areas of colour. Produced in a unique size, identical to the scale of Whitney's smallest 12 inch square paintings, In the Color investigates his profound relationship to colour and its spatial effects throughout his career. Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Stanley Whitney: In the Color at Lisson Gallery, New York (3 November - 21 December 2018).

Painter, sculptor, writer and philosopher Lee Ufan first came to prominence in the late 1960s as one of the major proponents of the Japanese avant-garde group Mono-ha. Japan's first contemporary art movement to gain international recognition, the Mono-ha school of thought rejected Western notions of representation, choosing to focus on the relationships of materials and perceptions rather than on expression or intervention. A new edition of a collection of writings first published in 2004, this volume features previously unpublished essays from 1967-2007 and a recent interview with Hans Ulrich-Obrist. This edition has been published by Lisson Gallery and the Serpentine Galleries on the occasion of Lee Ufan's outdoor commission, Relatum-Stage at Serpentine Galleries, London (6 February 2018 - 27 January 2019). Revised Edition.

British artist Christopher Le Brun's latest work features a new series of large scale abstractions, some light in touch and some involving dense accretions of colour and gesture. Following his appearance in many international group exhibitions - such as the influential Zeitgeist exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (1982) - Le Brun became recognised as one of the leading young European painters; he has also been an instrumental public figure in his role since 2011 as President of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, which celebrates its 250th anniversary this year. Accompanying a solo exhibition at Lisson Gallery, London (4 July - 18 August 2018), New Painting shows works that represent a singularly rich moment in his 40-year career. The glowing, scintillating veils of colour in Le Brun's recent oil works on canvas contribute to the constant exchanges of movement, energy, warmth and light occurring throughout this radiant show.

John Latham (1921-2006) was a pioneer of British conceptual art, who, through painting, sculpture, performances, assemblages, films, installation and extensive writings, fuelled controversy and continues to inspire. Latham began using books as a medium in 1958, extending his earliest spray-painted canvases into the third dimension by creating reliefs wherein the publication emerged from plaster on canvas. Titled 'skoob', a reversal of 'books', these works invert the traditional function of literature, typically read in a linear and temporal manner, to create an object that can be consumed spontaneously and without structure. Published on the occasion of the exhibition, John Latham: Skoob Books at Lisson Gallery, New York (2 May - 16 June 2018).
