WINNER 2024 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHYAn engrossing social history of the unsinkable Mollie Moon, the stylish founder of the National Urban League Guild and fundraiser extraordinaire who reigned over the glittering "Beaux Arts Ball," the social event of New York and Harlem society for fifty years--a glamorous soiree rivaling today's Met Gala, drawing America's wealthy and cultured, both Black and white.Our Secret Society brilliantly illuminates a little known yet highly significant aspect of the civil rights movement that has been long overlooked--the powerhouse fundraising effort that supported the movement--the luncheons, galas, cabarets, and traveling exhibitions attended by middle-class and working-class Black families, the Negro press, and titans of industry, including Winthrop Rockefeller.No one knew this world better or ruled over it with more authority than Mollie Moon. With her husband Henry Lee Moon, the longtime publicist for the NAACP, Mollie became half of one of the most influential couples of the period. Vivacious and intellectually curious, Mollie frequently hosted political salons attended by guests ranging from Langston Hughes to Lorraine Hansberry. As the president of the National Urban League Guild, the fundraising arm of the National Urban League; Mollie raised millions to fund grassroots activists battling for economic justice and racial equality. She was a force behind the mutual aid network that connected Black churches, domestic and blue-collar laborers, social clubs, and sororities and fraternities across the country.Historian and cultural critic Tanisha C. Ford brings Mollie into focus as never before, charting her rise from Jim Crow Mississippi to doyenne of Manhattan and Harlem, where she became one of the most influential philanthropists of her time--a woman feared, resented, yet widely respected. She chronicles Mollie's larger-than-life antics through exhaustive research, never-before-revealed letters, and dozens of interviews.Our Secret Society ushers us into a world with its own rhythm and rules, led by its own Who's Who of African Americans in politics, sports, business, and entertainment. It is both a searing portrait of a remarkable period in America, spanning from the early 1930s through the late 1960s, and a strategic economic blueprint today's activists can emulate.Our Secret Society includes 16 pages of never-before-seen photographs.

Anziehend und abstoßend zugleich ist Francis Bacons Bildnis seines ersten Lebenspartners Peter Lacy. Das monumentale "Portrait" aus dem Jahr 1962 war lange Zeit vor der Öffentlichkeit verborgen. Kurz nach seiner Entstehung erwarb es der italienische Regisseur Michelangelo Antonioni und es blieb jahrzehntelang in Privatbesitz. Dabei entpuppt es sich als ein Schlüsselwerk, das an einem Wendepunkt entstand. Markus Rath führt erstmals diese Stränge zusammen und bettet das Gemälde in Bacons Bildwelt ein. Der englische Maler bekennt sich darin zu einer biografisch orientierten Gegenständlichkeit, konzentriert sein kompositorisches Schema auf den bühnenartigen Innenraum und forciert den Kontrast zwischen flächigem Grund und farbgesättigter Figur - wegweisende kompositorische Verfahren, die sein Spätwerk entscheidend prägen sollten.

Dior redefined what fashion looked like in the post-war age and demanded glamour, femininity and excess to be the order of the day. His vision for seriously structured corsets tapering to dramatically full skirts with pleats for days earned the title 'The New Look', and it really was. This beautifully illustrated book charts not only the work of the great man himself, but also those who stood at the helm after him, including the inimitable Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano.

Devotion, understood as pure, all-encompassing love that only wants to give without asking for anything in return, is one of the founding values of Dolce & Gabbana.At Dolce & Gabbana the concept of “devotion” is part of the very idea of work: it is as if something mystical is hidden behind every sketch, embroidery, and stitch. The fashion house’s most iconic bag is intentionally called Devotion precisely to pay homage to this feeling. A strongly sacred component accompanies many of the brand’s sartorial creations, accessories, and jewelry, which draw on the evocations of Sicilian popular culture mixed with a high degree of religiosity. And while the sacred heart, the saints, the Madonna, the rosary, and the cross are some of the most recurrent themes and elements in the collections, processions, funerals, masses, and the figures of bishops, popes, and religious devotees continue to represent a constant source of inspiration. In addition to the advertising campaigns, the most iconic images of the collections, and numerous shots portraying religious holidays in Sicily, the book will be enriched with many photos taken specifically for this publication by important Italian photographers under the direct guidance of Domenico Dolce on the set.

"A glittering, glamorous portrait of the golden age of American department stores and of three visionary women who led them"--

The first high-end volume published on the traditional costumes of Saudi Arabia, with authentic and previously unpublished artworks and documentation from the acclaimed Darat Safeya Binzagr collection.Considered the “founding mother” of Saudi Arabia’s fine art movement, Safeya Binzagr has forged a precious and unique path of opportunity and creative development for many artists, especially young women who have followed in her footsteps. As a national cultural icon, she is a respected painter, collector, and textile researcher, and one of only two female artists to ever hold an art exhibition in Saudi Arabia in 1968, as well as the very first internationally exhibited Saudi artist.In 2000, Binzagr opened the Darat Safeya Binzagr, which houses the artist’s entire oeuvre as well as her private collection of traditional artifacts, textiles, and costumes, with meticulously documented information accumulated over the decades.Showcasing the colors, bold patterns, and intricately embroidered designs of KSA, the beauty and variety of these Arabian garments and jewelry are undeniable, although they are practically unknown to the Western world. Each headdress, garment, and necklace is an expression of personal and regional identity, incorporating Islamic, Indian, Indonesian, Malay, and Turkish influences that trace back to the legendary world of the ancient Silk Road. Preserving costumes that are no longer worn and celebrating those that remain at the heart of communities and families alike, this lavish book provides invaluable insights and over 300 images showcasing the history and stories of Saudi Arabia through the creative expressions of its oldest inhabitants.

The exhibition "(RE)VERSVS. Reuse and Redemption in the Patrimony of the Vatican Library and in the Art of Sidival Fila" is the result of a profound reflection by the artist and the curators of the Vatican Library on the theme of reuse - redemption, conceived as two different, and at times opposing, possibilities of using and valorising an ancient, or simply previous or extraneous, material in a new and different way. It presents a recovery of fragments and discards of manuscripts, textiles, marbles and other materials that, in the case of reuse, defines their new purpose, while in the case of redemption celebrates them in themselves, in their ontological value, regardless of their possible new utility. The exhibition concludes in the Sala Barberini with the site-specific installation 'Natura Artificialis', a work that represents the Brazilian artist's integral vision, the starting point of his critical view of the human race and the erroneous idea of nature seen solely as being at the service of man.Ed.: Cristiano Grisogoni.

"BEING NAKED CAN BE SO NATURAL!" - STEFAN SOELL As a highly regarded photographer of the erotic, Stefan Soell has published a range of successful titles in the course of his career: "Volcanic Girls", "Alpenglühn" and "Urban Girls". Why is the cover of "Waldlust" so green, you mayask? It's designed to act as a contrast to his wonderfully natural-looking models; their skin and hair colour. "Waldlust"refreshingly and unselfconsciously portrays powerful eroticism both in the woods and on the mountains. As the sexyforest ladies and alpine maidens boldly and provocatively pose for the camera, still largely unknown, mountain boyswatching nearby have to rise, leaving their milking stools behind them.

The book even includes a recipe for delicious apple pie, well-presented by a naked Katya Clover, who shows us what to do step by step, right up until you put it in the oven!Katya Clover was born in 1989 on Sakhalin, Russia's largest island. Her language-learning skills quickly enabled her to become fluent at English and travel all over the world. She started her career on the internet with Instagram and Twitter. Her erotic charisma and natural charm have steadily enhanced her popularity, helped by her very revealing photos and videos, which, however, have never exceeded her own acceptable limits. Katya Clover firmly believes that people shouldn't be ashamed of their nudity, and attracted attention early on in her career through appearances in Playboy, MetArt.com, and FemJoy.com. Since 2014, she has appeared in a number of erotic films, and today Katya Clover is one of the world's most popular erotic models. "CLOVER" is her exclusive debut collection of photos, featuring over 180 images. To see so much female beauty presented so openly, without a trace of bashfulness, is indeed a rare thing!
