This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases
some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti
from around the world. Since its genesis on the East Coast of the
United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly
every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant
new styles. This unique atlas is the first truly geographical
survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new
voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as
street art hubs. Featuring specially commissioned works from major
graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider’s
view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience
it. Organized geographically, by continent and by city – from New
York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico
City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and
Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as
brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia – it profiles more
than 100 of today’s most important artists and features over 700
astonishing artworks. This beautifully illustrated book, produced
with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea
of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and
instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative
inscription upon the skin of the built environment.
Naomi Campbell is a phenomenon. Still very much at the top of her game
after nearly four decades in the fashion industry, news of her
trailblazing work, both on and off the catwalk, continues to hit the
front pages as she pushes the boundaries of the fashion world.
Inspiring, creative, energetic and most definitely iconic, Campbell
stands apart as a unique force.
Opening with a specially commissioned interview by Tim Blanks, this
book showcases more than 20 of the most eloquent ensembles from across
her career, personally selected and discussed by Campbell herself. It
also explores the different facets of her success - from her work as a
model, a muse and brand builder, to life beyond the catwalk as a
cultural leader with her unerring support of emerging designers.
With spectacular looks from Azzedine Alaïa, Gianni Versace, Chanel,
Alexander McQueen and Kenneth Ize - to name but a few - this is an
exclusive look into the world of one of fashion's most talented and
enduring personalities.
Africa State of Mind gathers together the work of an emergent
generation of photographers from across Africa, including both the
Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. It is both a summation of new
photographic practice from the last decade and an exploration of
how contemporary photographers from the continent are exploring
ideas of 'Africanness' to reveal Africa to be a psychological space
as much as a physical territory - a state of mind as much as a
geographical place. Dispensing with the western colonial view of
Africa in purely geographic or topographic terms, Ekow Eshun
presents Africa State of Mind in four thematic parts: Hybrid
Cities; Inner Landscapes; Zones of Freedom; and Myth and Memory.
Each theme, introduced by a text by Eshun, presents selections of
work by a new wave of African photographers who are looking both
outward and inward: capturing life among the sprawling cities and
multitudinous conurbations of the continent, turning the legacy of
the continent's history into the source of resonant new myths and
dreamscapes and exploring questions of gender, sexuality and
identity. Each of the photographers seeks to capture the experience
of what it means, and how it feels, to live in Africa today.
Following in the outstanding success of the first edition, this
wonderful celebration of landscape photography shortlists the
winning photographs from the second Landscape Photographer of the
Year competition. 'Take a view', the Landscape Photographer of the
Year competition, is the brainchild of Charlie Waite, one of
today's most respected landscape photographers. Together with AA
Publishing, he has created this prestigious competition and award,
which was hugely successful in its first year. Britain's heritage
is celebrated by people around the world and entries are welcome
from everyone, whether resident in the UK or simply visiting, as
long as the image is of the British Isles. The full-colour book of
best entries will showcase the best pictures from amateur and
professional photographers alike.

Tom Connolly's journey into non-league football unearthed something
bigger than sport. The result is a collection of stunning
photographs recording the lives lived on the perimeter of the
pitch. For anyone who craves fairness in life and wants fairness in
sport, modern elite football offers a confusing, love-hate
relationship, one which sent Tom Connolly in search of the game he
had fallen in love with as a boy. Like many of the men and women he
met on the non-league terraces, he found it in grassroots football.
Football fans have always been fair game for vilification and
stereotyping. This book is about the human beings to be found in
the beautiful game. Telling its story through a collection of
remarkable black-and-white and colour photos of the people who make
the game what it is, FAIR GAME reminds us that in community-minded
non-league football clubs, the heart and soul of sport is alive and
well, against all the odds and despite those running and owning the
upper reaches of the game.
Minnesota might not seem like an obvious place to look for traces
of Ku Klux Klan parade grounds, but this northern state was once
home to fifty-one chapters of the KKK. Elizabeth Hatle tracks down
the history of the Klan in Minnesota, beginning with the racially
charged atmosphere that produced the tragic 1920 Duluth lynchings.
She measures the influence the organization wielded at the peak of
its prominence within state politics and tenaciously follows the
careers of the Klansmen who continued life in the public sphere
after the Hooded Order lost its foothold in the Land of Ten
Thousand Lakes.
