Live Cinema and Its Techniques
From a master of cinema comes this “gold mine of a book . . . a rocket ride to the potential future” of filmmaking (Walter Murch). Celebrated as an “exhilarating account” of a revolutionary new medium (Booklist), Francis Ford Coppola’s indispensable guide to live cinema is a boon for moviegoers, film students, and teachers alike. As digital movie-making, like live sports, can now be performed by one director—or by a collaborative team online— it is only a matter of time before cinema auteurs will create “live” movies to be broadcast instantly in faraway theaters. “Peppered with brilliant personal observations” (Wendy Doniger), Live Cinema and Its Techniques offers a beh...

High Street (Victoria and Albert Museum)
A facsimile edition of the classic High Street, which pairs the timeless illustrations of Eric Ravilious with a fascinating text by architectural historian J. M. Richards. First published in 1938, this charming book introduces the British high street. Shops include the family butcher, the cheesemonger, the baker and confectioner and the oyster bar, as well as specialized establishments such as the plumassier, the clerical outfitter and the submarine engineer. Only 2,000 copies of the original book were printed before the lithographic plates were destroyed in the London Blitz. As a result, it has become one of the most collectible of all artists' books from this period. This beautiful facsimile edition features all 24 of Ravilious's colour illustrations, and includes an essay by Gill Saunders, Senior Curator of Prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum, that sets the book in its historical context.
Visual Arts and the Law
This important handbook offers art professionals and collectors an accessible legal analysis of essential principles in art law, as well as a practical guide to understanding one's legal rights when creating, buying, selling and collecting art in a global market. Although the book is international in scope, there is a particular focus on the US as one of the major art centres of the world and the site of international court cases. The book distinguishes between legal and ethical as well as legal and art-historical considerations with reference to the art market. It addresses key questions such as: the role of due diligence in buying and selling art; the issues which can arise without the formalising of a relationship or transaction with a written contract; how much of another artist's work can be appropriated without infringing on that artist's copyright; the balance between freedom of expression and an individual's rights of privacy and publicity and the liabilities of expert opinions on authenticity and valuation of works of art.
