On Warhol's lifelong engagement with commerceThis catalog revisits the various historical eras in which Warhol left his mark on fashion, music and entrepreneurship. The works reproduced include paintings, historical serigraphs, drawings, Polaroids, photographs and memorabilia such as covers designed and autographed by Warhol. The content spans from the 1950s, a decade that consecrated him as a highly respected designer; to the 1960s, when Warhol became a true social commentator, portraying icons (Campbell's soup), fame (Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe) and disasters (the faces of Jackie Kennedy before and after her husband's assassination); to the 1970s, when he became a kind of "society artist"; to the 1980s, when Warhol positioned himself as the spiritual father of a new generation of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring and created new forms of commerce and tributes to the past.

A visual feast of artworks and artifacts from the Islamic world's cultural capitalThis richly illustrated and researched publication heralds Baghdad as a resplendent capital of culture within the Islamic world, from its heritage as the locus of the great Abbasid caliphs (750-1258 CE) to its renewed period of prosperity during the 20th century after the discovery of oil in the land.Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Qatar's Museum of Islamic Art, Baghdad: Eye's Delight takes readers on an imaginary tour across centuries, highlighting Baghdad's role as a city of power, scholarship and riches, and examining the city's social fabric--its numerous traditions and cosmopolitan population--which have enabled the city to thrive, despite war and destruction. Displaying objects on loan from 22 institutions such as the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Benaki Museum, the Vatican and the Barrel Foundation, the compendium presents a vast array of artworks and artifacts.

A concise, dynamic introduction to the Italian postmodern design groupThis small-format volume presents more than 200 furniture and objects made between 1981 and 1986 for the Memphis collection. Memphis was an Italian design and architecture collective founded by Ettore Sottsass, a leading exponent of 1980s postmodernism. It was the outcome of a long process that began at the Olivetti company in Ivrea, where Sottsass had been the design coordinator since the late 1950s, and continued with the research of the radical architecture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, in Florence and Europe.Memphis Again documents the eponymous 2022 Milan exhibition on the group, for which Memphis works--bookshelves, tables, desks, chairs, sofa beds, lamps, pots, bowls, rugs and more--were dynamically installed in chronological order in the style of a fashion show, with quotes by critics, architects and designers projected on the walls. Works by Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, George J. Sowden, Martine Bedin, Andrea Branzi, Shiro Kuramata, Marco Zanini, Matteo Thun, Peter Shire, Aldo Cibic, Nathalie du Pasquier, Gerard Taylor and Masanori Umeda are featured.

Ingenious sculptural takes on idiomatic language from a leading Brazilian artistFor his installation at the Brazilian pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), Jonathas de Andrade (born 1982) draws on idiomatic expressions using metaphors of the body to develop a series of two- and three-dimensional works that render tangible the poetry of these expressions. For example, two immense ears placed at the entrance and exit of the pavilion allow the public to "go in one ear and out the other," while an inflatable balloon, which invades the space at various times of the day, alludes to a "heart coming out of the mouth." The emphasis on the body, especially the body of the man from the Brazilian Northeast, is also characteristic of several of the artist's earlier works featured in this book, which also includes essays by the publication's editor Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, and Clarissa Diniz.
