Chryssa & New York
The first major publication in more than thirty years on contemporary artist Chryssa, an innovator of light art Chryssa & New York offers a timely reassessment of Greek-born artist Chryssa (Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali, 1933-2013).

François Morellet
This in-depth exploration of celebrated French artist François Morellet (1926-2016) showcases his diverse oeuvre, famous for infusing systematic and rigorous experimentation with humor and playfulness. Morellet's interest in kinetic and optical effects spurred work that engages viewers' perception and participation, ensuring an element of chance within his predetermined systems and challenging the convention of the artistic genius. This book features new scholarship by an international group of renowned art historians and curators. Essays explore topics such as the conceptual stakes of Morellet's practice, the influence of Brazilian geometric abstraction and the Islamic decorative tradition, and the role of humor in his work. Also included is an extensive selection of previously untranslated writings by the artist himself. With striking new photography of the artworks--such as Morellet's geometric paintings, neon works, and architectural interventions--this is the definitive book on a fascinating, multifaceted artist.

There is a promise from God for virtually every area of life. It has been said that the Bible contains over 6,000 promises. These often quoted promises range from God’s faithfulness and spiritual blessings to physical wellbeing and divine favor.

This little book will help you understand and receive this precious promise.

On John Berger
This volume offers the first collection of essays on the work of John Berger, one of the most intriguing contemporary English writers. Comprising pieces by an interdisciplinary group of academics, On John Berger spans the full range of Berger’s prolific output as art critic, novelist, collaborator on films and photo-text books, and essayist. Writing polemic art criticism, passing on part of the Booker Prize money to the Black Panthers, and quitting the London literary scene in the 1960s in order to settle in the French Alps, Berger has always been a controversial figure. On John Berger explores his self-fashioning as a public figure and simultaneously examines the literary, visual, and collaborative strategies of his work. Contributors: Marta Aleksandrowicz-Wojtyna, John Bowen, Rachel Bower, Jonathan Conlin, Ralf Hertel, Charlotte Kent, Bartosz Lutostański, David Malcolm, Timothy Neat, Tom Overton, Pilar Sánchez Calle, Joshua Sperling, Monika Szuba, Richard Turney, Stefan Welz, Miłosz Wojtyna
