Das Tattoo-Set "Fuel" von Thames & Hudson ist der zweite Band der renommierten "Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia". Dieses Werk bietet einen tiefen Einblick in die faszinierende und oft verborgene Welt der russischen Kriminalität durch die Linse von Tattoos. Es enthält eine Vielzahl von bisher unveröffentlichten Zeichnungen und Fotografien, die aus den aussergewöhnlichen Archiven von Danzig Baldaev und Sergei Vasiliev stammen.

Diese Sammlung ist nicht nur ein visuelles Dokument, sondern auch ein kulturelles Archiv, das die Geschichten und den sozialen Kontext der abgebildeten Tattoos erzählt. Die Einführung von Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-Preisträgerin, ergänzt die Bedeutung dieses Werkes und bietet einen historischen Rahmen für die dargestellten Inhalte. - Enthält unveröffentlichte Zeichnungen und Fotografien aus den Archiven von Danzig Baldaev und Sergei Vasiliev - Dokumentiert über 3.000 Tattoos und deren kodierte Bedeutungen aus der russischen Kriminalität - Bietet einen einzigartigen Einblick in eine schnell verschwindende kriminelle Gesellschaft.
Der Fotograf Richard Avedon, dessen Karriere mehr als sechs Jahrzehnte umspannt, produzierte innovative und bezaubernde Arbeiten in der Mode sowie scharfsinnige und fesselnde Porträts. Im Laufe seines Lebens arbeitete er mit zahlreichen Models und einer Vielzahl von Porträtpersonen zusammen und schuf ein kraftvolles Werk, das es den Betrachtern ermöglicht, die Ähnlichkeiten von Schauspielern, Balletttänzern, Prominenten, Bürgerrechtsaktivisten, Staatsoberhäuptern, Erfindern, Musikern, visuellen Künstlern und Schriftstellern zu studieren. Avedon bietet den Zuschauern die Möglichkeit, Gesichter zu betrachten, ohne die gesellschaftlich auferlegten Grenzen des zu langen Starrens zu überschreiten; er ermutigt sie, über die Menschen vor ihnen nachzudenken, über die Leben, die sie gelebt haben, ihre privaten Persönlichkeiten und öffentlichen Personas, ihre Kämpfe, Errungenschaften, Enttäuschungen und Freuden. „Richard Avedon: Relationships“ präsentiert eine Auswahl von 100 ikonischen Modefotografien und Porträts aus der umfangreichen Sammlung des Center for Creative Photography und beleuchtet seinen Ansatz, Menschen zu fotografieren. Avedons Kombination aus Talent und Können, technischer Fertigkeit und Sensibilität für seine individuellen Motive ermöglichte es ihm, fesselnde Darstellungen der Menschen zu schaffen, die er fotografierte. Tatsächlich erreichte er eine Meisterschaft in der Porträtkunst. Avedon hatte die Gelegenheit, viele seiner Porträtpersonen mehr als einmal zu fotografieren. Im Katalog sind unter anderem der Maler Jasper Johns 1965, die Romanautorin Carson McCullers 1956 und 1958, die Beatles, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe sowie der Dichter Allen Ginsberg 1963 und 1970 zu sehen. Vielleicht ist das dramatischste und kraftvollste Beispiel für Avedons fortwährende fotografische Beziehung das zu seinem Freund und Kollegen Truman Capote.
Tim Burton: Designing Worlds will be the first publication to explore the relationship between Tim Burton’s cinematic creations and the world of design.
When Karl Lagerfeld was named at the helm of the fashion house in 1983, he set out to radically shake up and update its image - not only through bold collections but also, from 1987 onwards, by choosing to shoot the house's campaigns himself, a move that was unprecedented for a fashion designer. Conceived in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel, this definitive publication opens with an essay by Patrick Mauriès before exploring the campaigns themselves, organized chronologically. A carefully curated selection of images showcases hundreds of spectacular clothes worn by the top fashion models - and personalities - of each era, from Inès de la Fressange, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, to Kirsten Stewart and Lily Rose Depp, captured in glamorous locations, from Coco Chanel's Paris apartment to the French Riviera or LA. Presented in a high-end, slipcased package, Chanel: the Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns offers an unrivalled overview of the house of Chanel as seen through the eyes - and lens - of Karl Lagerfeld himself.
In this stunning new book, style visionaries Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger invite readers inside their seven uniquely designed homes – each a bold expression of their iconic approach to living. “I’ve so enjoyed vicariously visiting Tommy just about everywhere in the world by poring over this book, which makes clear that he gives as much creative consideration to his interiors as he does to his runway collections.” —Anna Wintour, from the Foreword. What makes a house a home? Is it the setting, the architecture, the interior design, the selection of objects and art carefully collected over many decades? In the case of Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger’s homes, it is all these elements, but most importantly, it is the couple’s exceptional warmth and hospitality, combined with their innate sense of style. The Hilfigers have lived in many places, from Manhattan to Mustique, and though each home is different, every one exudes their unique approach to design—and life. Their tropical Palm Beach paradise is a world away from their bespoke Greenwich manor, their retro-glam, 1970s-style Miami home, their idyllic vacation house on Mustique, and their sleek Feadship yacht, .Flag. InHilfiger Homes, Tommy and Dee open the doors to seven of their most remarkable properties, superbly photographed by Douglas Friedman, a longtime creative partner of the Hilfigers, with dozens of intimate family photos scattered throughout. Our guide is James Reginato, the veteran chronicler of tastemakers and their lifestyle, and Anna Wintour, a defining force in global fashion, has contributed the foreword.

The first publication dedicated to the house of Chanel and its creations as reported in Vogue, featuring iconic illustrations and photography from throughout the magazine's history and across its international editions. Vogue talent-spotted the work of a young Gabrielle Chanel as early as the 1910s and continued to report on the designer through the decades, from her seminal 'little black dress' to the most luxurious haute couture creations. From 1983, Karl Lagerfeld's re-imagining of the brand also found pride of place in the lauded magazine, inspiring some of the world's greatest stylists and photographers across the international editions of Vogue. Chanel in Vogue includes two volumes: the first volume is dedicated to the era of Gabrielle Chanel, and the second focuses on the work of her successors, Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and up to the present day. This beautifully produced publication gathers together the inspirational editorials dreamt up by world-famous fashion illustrators and photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, to Peter Lindbergh, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and many more. Featuring iconic images as well as lesser-known photography and illustration, this book is a trove of stunning visual material, granting readers unparalleled access to more than a century's worth of fashion imagery. Published as two volumes in a slipcase, this high-end, large-format package is the definitive book on the fashion of Chanel as seen through the pages of the world's most influential fashion magazine.
One day, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) cut a small bird out of a piece of white paper. It was a simple shape, but he liked the way it looked and didn't want to throw it away, so he pinned it to the wall of his room. But the bird looked lonely all by itself, so he cut out more shapes to join it, and before he knew it, he had transformed his walls into larger-than-life gardens filled with brightly coloured plants and animals and shapes of all sizes. Featuring colourful cut-paper illustrations and Matisse's own cut-outs, Matisse's Garden is the inspiring story of how the artist's never-ending curiosity and continuous process of trying new things helped turn a small experiment into a radical new form of art. Children will see how Matisse used nothing but paper and scissors to create simple shapes like squares, leaves and birds, and experimented with scraps of leftover paper and new colour combinations to create lush gardens on his studio walls.
Ammi’s Kitchen celebrates heirloom Rampuri recipes passed down by Pernia Qureshi’s grandmother - blending tradition, memory, and the rich culinary legacy of north India. Ammi’s Kitchen: Heirloom Recipes from Rampur is a tribute to all grandmothers who have been the torchbearers of saving and passing on the legacy of classic traditional family recipes. Pernia Qureshi’s grandmother, Mussharaf-ul-Nissa Begum, originally from Chandausi in the United Provinces, was married at a young age into the princely state of Rampur. With the influence of her hometown, now combined with the newfound exposure to Rampur’s more modern and eclectic cuisine, she created a food language that was uniquely her own. This book is a collection of recipes she mastered over the years, which still carry the aromas of the treasures of history.
An omnibus edition collecting 15 volumes of Hokusai's dedicated drawing manuals, 'e-tehon'. Of the 300 or so printed books Hokusai created in his lifetime, a huge proportion of these were dedicated drawing manuals, known as e-tehon (drawing models). They show not only Hokusai's great proficiency as a draughtsman, but also his wealth of ideas, and his sense of humour. This omnibus edition collects 15 volumes of Hokusai's e-tehon, which feature over 800 illustrations of instructions from 1812 to 1848. With every page faithfully reproduced against the original works, the book shows Hokusai's playful approach to drawing with amusing songs, pictures comprised of letterforms (a forerunner to today's emoji), modern designs for craftsmen, and, yes, dance moves. This all-encompassing endeavour also includes a valuable work that he published just before his death. This was his magnum opus, serving to 'preserve everything I've learned'. Note to Readers The pages in this volume are ordered according to the Japanese system. Please turn to the back of the book to begin reading.
First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential. Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann's extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann's pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child's simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy-the holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. This reissue of Immediate Family is printed using new scans and separations from Mann's original prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.
Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was one of the first European photographers to explore the creative potential of colour in the 1970s and 1980s. This book brings together his best work, including images from his renowned 1972 series TV Shots and the later Made in Belgium, in one beautifully produced volume. Influenced by such American photographers as Saul Leiter, Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, as well as by cinema, Gruyaert¿s work defined new territory for colour photography: an emotive, non-narrative and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world. His photographs are autonomous and self-sufficient, often independent from any context or thematic logic. A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, he has embraced the possibilities of digital photography in his most recent work, feeling that it allows him to take more risks and capture new kinds of light.
