The classic book on the art and history of weaving--now expanded and in full color Written by one of the twentieth century's leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand. With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work.Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book's original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T'ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.

William Morris’s interests were wide-ranging: he was a poet, writer, political and social activist, conservationist and businessman, as well as a brilliant and original designer and manufacturer. This book explores the balance between Morris’s various spheres of activity and influence, places his art in the context of its time and explores his ongoing and far-reaching legacy. A pioneer of the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris (1834–1896) is one of the most influential designers of all time. Morris turned the tide of Victorian England against an increasingly industrialized manufacturing process towards a rediscovered respect for the skill of the maker. Morris’s whole approach still resonates today, and his designs are popular and much admired. Published to mark the 125th anniversary of Morris’s death, this book includes contributions from a wide range of Morris experts, with chapters on painting, church decoration and stained glass, interior decoration, furniture, tiles and tableware, wallpaper, textiles, calligraphy and publishing. Additional materials include a contextualized chronology of Morris’s life and a list of public collections around the world where examples of Morris’s work may be seen today. This study is a comprehensive, fully illustrated exploration of a great thinker and artist, and essential reading for anyone interested in the history of design.With 668 illustrations in colour A Crafts Council Best Craft Book of the Year

Johan Tobias Sergel (1740–1814) är inte bara Sveriges störste skulptör genom tiderna. Han var också en pionjär inom den internationella nyklassicismen och därmed en av de främsta i den europeiska samtiden. Sergel liknade sitt möte med Rom vid en konstnärlig pånyttfödelse: här bestämde han sig för att lämna det mesta av den franska rokokon bakom sig. Skulptörens nya ledstjärnor blev antiken om dagen och om kvällarna studier efter naturen . I sin tolkning av de kända antika förebilderna behöll han dock rokokons sinnlighet. Det är detta drag som i så hög grad skiljer Sergel från de två namn som snart skulle komma att dominera historieskrivningen, nämligen italienaren Antonio Canova och dansken Bertel Thorvaldsen.
I denna biografi får vi följa dramatiken i Sergels liv, läsa om hans nära relation till Gustav III och de många konstnärsvännerna, hans saknad av Rom och de sista åren som präglades av sjukdom. Johan Tobias Sergel. Konstnär och europé bygger på nytt källmaterial och försöker bland annat förklara varför Sergel blev världsberömd i sitt hemland, men okänd i världen. Biografin är den första som även utkommer på engelska.

Boken om Textiltraditioner har sitt ursprung genom ett omfattande textilarv från flera socknar i norra Västmanland. Inventeringar som genomfördes redan under 1700-talet i Västerfärnebo, och senare i Fläckebo och Möklinta socknar runt Sala ger omfattande bevis för detta unika förhållande i vårt land. Textiltraditionerna i Västmanland är därmed både historiskt gamla och omfattande. De bygger på ett genuint omfattande hantverkskunnande som många kvinnor svarat för genom åren. Bokens innehåll baseras på såväl tidigare kända fakta som flera okända källor och berättelser samt underlag från lokalt textilkunniga personer varav många aktiva i de vävstugor som alltjämt finns i Västmanlands län. En del av dessa gamla textilier finns numera i Färnebostugans Textilmuseum vid Gammelgården i Västerfärnebo samt vid Länsmuseets WestmannaArvet i Hallstahammar och på Nordiska museet i Stockholm. I boken framgår att textiltraditionerna verkligen lever vidare vid den verksamhet som bedrivs vid flera vävstugor i norra Västmanland. Ett intressant inslag är Harakers Hembygdsförening som uppmärksammat textiltraditioner från Kättsta Linnefabrik under 1700-talet. Kyrkbåt med människor i folkdräkter och man tänker på kyrkrodden över Siljan men det finns även en kyrkbåt i Västmanland. Boken avslutas med en omfattande källförteckning. Referenser och källor utgörs av ett omfattande underlag från pressklipp, tidskrifter, jubileumsskrifter och litteratur från slutet av 1800-talet fram till år 2024. Författare till boken är Anders Fläcke som varit ordförande i Västerfärnebo Hembygdsförening och vice ordförande i Västmanlands Hembygdsförbund. Han har under många år haft ett geniunt intresse för vårt kulturav inom byggnader, möbler, föremål och textilier. Han värnar även om den svenska flodkräftans bevarande. Anders Fläcke har tidigare tillsammans med Owe Eriksson skrivit boken, Hörnsjöfors Bruk och Västerfärenbo – en berättesle om bruket och bygdens historia under ett halvt årtusende. Boken om Textiltraditioner ger en intressant bild av vårt textila kulturarv, som till vissa delar lever vidare i Västmanland. Den omfattar 230 sidor med många färgbilder i ett större format.

An engaging survey from the Middle Ages to the present, presenting fashion as a complex process that reflects economic, social, and political changesThis engaging volume tells the history of Western fashion, exploring how and why it has influenced people’s attitudes, actions, and beliefs since the Middle Ages. Back in Fashion focuses on themes specific to particular periods—such as the significance of medieval sumptuary laws that limited expenditure on clothing; the use of black in early modern Europe; the role of sports on clothing in contemporary times; and the rise of luxury in the new millennium. Author Giorgio Riello investigates how fashion has shaped and continues to characterize Western societies, impacting the lives of millions of people and their relationship to the economy and politics. Making a masterful case for why fashion history demands academic consideration on par with other more traditional histories, Riello presents fashion as a complex and constantly evolving force that not only reflects but drives cultural transformation.

En bilderbok där författaren möter konsthistoriens mästare med smärta och hjärta. Svenrobert Lundquist bloggar om konsthistoriens stora och vardagens lilla - när detta lilla handlar om att hålla sig vid liv och på gott humör. Om detta har det blivit en bok: SKÄRVOR – bildhuggaren som började blogga. Det är en svindlande resa i halsbrytande notiser och träffande reflektioner. SKÄRVOR är den sista delen i Svenroberts kvartett om människan i konsten. De tidigare om glömda gotländska mästare – nu med författaren som huvudperson. Tillsammans med själsfränder som Rembrandt, Hokusai och Albert Engström. Skärvor inleds med ett vänporträtt av Svenrobert Lundquist av författaren Lena Katarina Svanberg. Hon skriver: ”Svenrobert kan massor om konst och han är en entusiastisk pedagog. Ni som inte har hört honom ännu kommer känna hans bestämda stämma tvärs igenom mini-föredragen som är hans Facebook-inlägg och som bildar stommen i denna bok. Sociala medier kan användas till mycket, men den som följer Svenrobert sitter käpprak i bänken och lär sig mer. Om konst. Om livet. Och om döden, tiden går ju. Gäller oss alla.” UR BOKEN ”En gammal man går på gatan. Stegen är löjligt korta. Mannen balanserar sin gång med en käpp. Byxbaken hänger skrynklig och tom som röven på en elefant. En parkbänk i sikte. Utmattad faller mannen ner på bänken. Låter blicken, som är överraskande skarp och iakttagande, vandra mot horisonten, över havet. Kan man skönja ett leende? Den mannen är jag. Min tillvaro grusas av sjukdom, men en del dagar är bättre än andra. Det känns konstigt att ha blivit nio år äldre än Rembrandt - och att ha presterat så lite.”

Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and a pioneer of modernism, is also referred to as the patriarch of modern sculpture. From A as in Africa to S as in Studio, D as in Dance, F as in Furniture or R for Reflections, this lavishly illustrated volume takes the open form of a dictionary to present Brancusi’s celebrated art in its full richness. More than 110 entries contributed by leading Brancusi specialists form a complete panorama of his career, from his native Romania to Paris, where he established himself in 1903, and to the United States, where his work was on display for the first time at New York’s legendary 1913 Armory Show.Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the book sheds new light on Brancusi's creative process, his relationship with materials, his use of film, photography, and drawing, and his taste for music. It also addresses the global reception of his work and analyses the views on it taken by the writers and critics of his time. Moreover, it explores as well the significance of Brancusi's art today, highlighting its resonance with contemporary artists.

The 607 paintings and one sculpture documented in Volume 4 of The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné were produced during a period of less than three years, from late 1974 through early 1977. In September 1974, Warhol changed studios, moving across Union Square from the sixth floor of 33 Union Square West to the third floor of 860 West Broadway. Like Volumes 2 and 3, Volume 4 is identified with a new studio, where Warhol continued to work for a decade, until he moved into his last studio at 22 East 33rd Street on December 3, 1984. Volume 4 may be seen as the first in a series of books associated with one studio that will document an enormously productive ten-year period in Warhol's oeuvre from the mid seventies to the mid eighties.

An exploration of the evolution of the Japanese Mingei (folk art) movement within the context of today’s concerns Originating in Japan in the 1920s, the Mingei movement was based on the principle that beauty is inherent in handmade, everyday objects created by anonymous craftspeople. Spearheaded by the philosopher Yanagi Sōetsu, and potters Hamada Shōji and Bernard Leach, the movement sought to elevate the status of folk craft in a rapidly modernising society. This richly-illustrated book covers a wide range of objects associated with Mingei, from ceramics and furniture to textiles and toys, alongside a series of profiles of leading designers and makers working in Japan today. Contributors from a variety of backgrounds explore Mingei’s origins, interpretations and contemporary implications, shedding new light on the ways in which the principles of the movement remain relevant to today’s personal, social and environmental concerns.

The only comprehensive volume on James Turrell is back in print—from early prints and light projections to his monumental Roden Crater projectPublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art.This definitive book illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell’s incredibly diverse and exciting body of work—from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light"—evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell’s work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles’ exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell’s career—from his early geometric light projections, prints and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which is presented through models, plans, photographs and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned photography by Florian Holzherr.As an undergraduate, James Turrell (born 1943) studied psychology and mathematics, transitioning to art only at MFA level. The recipient of several prestigious awards, including Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships, Turrell lives in Arizona.

Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized “truck” style chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering, blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy. Spanning the history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hip-hop artist on record celebrate how “Ice” has become a proclamation of identity and self-expression. Starting with Run-DMC’s gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim’s ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design culture. The hip-hop tradition of “show up and show out” reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, and Cardi B, whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations with artists like Takashi Murakami. Author Vikki Tobak reveals – in great detail – the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo of Manny’s, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer artisans such as Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more. Ice Cold is a treasure trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson and many more. A foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, Kevin “Coach K’ Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry universe. Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a transformative story that is loud and proud.

"Ett pionjärverk som kastar nytt ljus över ett decennium som gjort sig känt för att vara fyrkantigt och vitt." ArkitekturBetyg 5 av 5 (Briljant). "En unik dokumentation av en konstskatt som ofta dolts för alla utom de boende i fastigheterna." Maria Bennmalm BTJ
På 1930-talet växte Malmö markant och det byggdes mängder av nya bostadshus. Arkitekturen var ofta vardaglig och enkel, men trots det kunde trapphus och portar dekoreras på ytterst fantasifulla och häpnadsväckande vis. I snart hundra år har denna konstskatt dolts bakom tunga ekportar och frostade glas. I Trapphusens konst: Malmö 1930-1940 beskrivs den i en unik dokumentation som även synliggör de ofta förbisedda konstnärerna som fyllde staden med sagoscener, prunkande blomsterarrangemang, dansande par, strävsamma arbetare och mytologiska havsvidunder. Tobias Hultén är fotograf och har tidigare gett ut två egna fotoböcker. Olga Schlyter är byggnadsantikvarie med egen konsultverksamhet i Malmö.
