Condiments & Entrails
"Moo! Moo! Marvel at John Durak's brilliant poetry! It rages off the page!" --Nick Cave, musician and author of The Death of Bunny Munro "Durak's poetry is extraordinary. Hard, sensual, clear, funny, and dazzling in its clarity and directness. His verse is shapes, elegant, and concise, combining strength, intensity, wit, and emotional impact in a manner that is rare and deeply satisfying. I am desperate for more." --Stephen Fry, author of Mythos and Heroes "I have never read anything like this. It is unpredictable, weird, prfound, witty, and intelligent. I just love where this stuff takes me. Truly original." --Benjamin Zephaniah, author of The Life and Ryhmes of Benjamin Zephaniah
Becoming Artists

Vitamin P2
A dynamic overview of the best new contemporary painting from around the world. The first volume of Vitamin P, published in 2002, inaugurated a vibrant period for painting. Since its publication, a whole new generation of painters has emerged, some inspired by the artists who appeared in that book, others taking cues from new sources. Vitamin P2 introduces this new wave of painters to the world. The vast medium of painting continues to be a central pillar of artistic practice, and Vitamin P2 presents the outstanding artists who are currently engaging with and pushing the boundaries of the medium. Over 80 international critics, artists and curators have nominated the 115 artists who have made a fresh, unique or innovative contribution to recent painting. All of the artists in Vitamin P2 have recently emerged onto the international scene, and none appeared in the first Vitamin P. An introduction by Barry Schwabsky, who also wrote the introduction for Vitamin P, provides a broad overview of recent developments in the medium while also looking towards its future.

Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) is one of the most highly revered--as well as one of the most heavily mythologized--protagonists of modern European architecture.

Countless architecture lovers from around the world visit his buildings. Stockholm's woodland cemetery Skogskyrkogården, his most significant contribution to landscape design, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This authoritative new monograph on Sigurd Lewerentz is based on extensive research undertaken at ArkDes, Sweden's ...
Danish Modern
For serious furniture collectors, Danish is more than a pastry-it's an art form. Twentieth century Danish furniture design is simple and clean., mixes well with other design styles, and has an inherent value and history beyond its beauty. In Modern Danish, Andrew Hollingsworth explores the history of Danish design, from the earliest cabinetmakers' guilds in the 1770s through the impact of two world wars, and its evolution into the twentieth century. The book includes photographic surveys of Danish Modern furniture in homes across the Unites States; a market guide with tips, facts and resources that includes discussions of veneer vs. solid wood, places to find Danish Modern furniture, and a guide to caring for it; and an extensive resource section.
Andrea Zittel
A conversation between the artist and Richard Julin, Deputy Director and Chief Curator at Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, in May 2011.
Cindy Sherman
"An in-depth look at the disturbing and abject sides of the American photo artist's oeuvre. Throughout her career, Cindy Sherman (*1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey) has been interested in the derailed and deviant sides of human nature, noticeable both in her selection of subject matter (fairytales, disasters, sex, horror, and surrealism) and in her disquieting interpretations of well-established photographic genres, such as film stills, fashion photography, and society portraiture. This richly illustrated publication seeks to highlight and acknowledge these aspects of her work based on selected examples and accompanied by texts by well-known authors, filmmakers, and artists who likewise deal with the grotesque, the uncanny, and the extraordinary in their artistic practice."--Publisher's website.

Watkins' Heroine
This hardcover book brings together 20 of what fashion illustrator Liselotte Watkins calls her "girls," the Art Nouveau-ish drawings that have become her trademark and have been featured in publications such as Ubersee, Vogue, Elle, Glamour and Mademoiselle. The black and white illustrations included here tell absorbing visual stories in a language that is purely graphic and consists of lines instead of letters. When asked how she was able to give her seemingly simple drawings such personality, Watkins replied: "They're all people to me. I work out their whole story where they live, if they have a boyfriend, their bank balances and their style. That's why one girl might have only the jacket of a Victor & Rolf suit she lost her job the week before so she can?t afford the rest of it."
