The collection of essays and reviews published between 1990 and 2020 celebrates the life work of Britain's pre-eminent artist David Hockney (born Bradford 1937). The compendium ranges from a study of his printmaking by author Marina Vaizey, first published in the quarterly review, Cv Journal of Art and Crafts 3/2 June 1990, to a major exhibition 'A Bigger Picture' on the theme of the East Yorkshire Landscape staged at the Royal Academy in 2012. Renowned author, poet and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith considers the artist's presentation of 'Eighty Two portraits and One Still Life', exhibited at the Royal Academ in 2016, while Cv editor Nicholas James reviews 'Drawn From Life', a survey Hockney drawings exhibited at at the National Portrait Gallery London 2020.

Eigentlich suchte der Australier Simon "Woody" Wood 2002 nur eine Möglichkeit, kostenlos an Turnschuhe zu kommen. Zwei Wochen später war er der stolze Verleger von Sneaker Freaker - und musste nie mehr barfuß gehen. Von seinen frühesten Ursprüngen als Fanzine im Punkstil bis zur heutigen Hochglanzaufmachung mit Onlineausgabe hat diese entschlossen unabhängige Zeitschrift jeden Collab-, Quickstrike-, Hyperstrike- und Tier-Zero-Sneaker, jede limitierte Ausgabe, Neuauflage und hippe Innovation der letzten 20 Jahre dokumentiert, vom klassischen adidas-Treter bis zum ultraluxuriösen Edelsneaker . Magische Produktbeschreibungen wie "Das Suede an Zunge und Ferse ist so dunkel und geheimnisvoll wie der Blick in einen bodenlosen Abgrund. Das Mintnubuk ist reines Dynamit, das graue Leder der Funke und die robuste Mesh-Toebox das Ausrufezeichen. Peng!" lassen erahnen, wie die Synapsen im Sneakerversum so geschnürt sind. Woodys ursprüngliche Vorgabe, dass Sneaker Freaker "zugleich lustig und ernst, sinnvoll und zweckfrei" sein solle, erfüllt The Ultimate Sneaker Book auf vorbildliche Weise : Auf über 500 mit Insiderwissen gespickten Seiten , die keine wahnwitzigen historischen Details auslassen und zahllose Fandevotionalien schnittig ins Bild setzen, werden hier Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft von Footwear aus aller Welt dokumentiert, in Sneaker-Lingo kommentiert und mitgestaltet . Neben einem souveränen Marsch durch die Turnschuhgeschichte werden der Nike Air Max und Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, und Michael Jordan - neben obskuren Schätzchen wie Troop, Airwalk und Vision Street Wear - ausführlich verhandelt. Dieser Band ist das definitive Nachschlagewerk für Sneakerheads, visuelles Manna und ein orgiastisch sprudelnder Quell des Treterwissens, kurz ... das Ultimate Sneaker Book !
