This beautiful publication takes you into the heart of the Maison,
featuring over 150 looks, ranging from the first collection by
Valentino Garavani to the unforgettable show by Pierpaolo Piccioli
staged on the Spanish Steps in 2022. Published to accompany the
landmark exhibition in Doha launched in the same year, the book
opens with a reimagining of the Maison’s courtyard at the Palazzo
Mignanelli, showcasing 34 haute couture creations in Valentino’s
signature red. This is followed by a visual journey through nine
galleries, with highlights including Capriccio Romana, a homage to
cinema and the city’s urban landscape; a focus on gowns designed
for Valentino’s divas – Zendaya, Lady Gaga, Anne Hathaway and
many more; an immersive runway experience from the Valentino Pink
PP collection; and finally a dramatic recreation of the Beginnings
show featuring over 60 ensembles by Valentino Garavani and
Pierpaolo Piccioli. The exhibition views are complemented by
sketches and catwalk shots printed on different paper stocks and
transparent sheets, creating a multilayered tactile experience,
inspired by Piccioli’s cahiers de défilé (collection
notebooks), which were displayed for the first time in the
exhibition. With text by curators Alexander Fury and Massimiliano
Gioni, and contributions by renowned fashion writers and editors,
this book is a must for followers of the much loved couture house.
Definitive monograph on America's most challenging and influential
artist Los-Angeles-based artist Paul McCarthy (b.1945) creates
Disneyesque installations, sculptures of animal/vegetable/human
hybrids and slapstick performances in a purge of a national
subconscious. The psycho-sexual desires and anxieties induced by
the media and the built environment of contemporary America emerge
in his collisions of plastic prosthetic limbs and condiments that
stand in for bodily fluids. These works have been variously
deployed: through live actions, often documented on video, and more
recently in outsized figures and artificial rural environments,
combined in overtly sexual ways. McCarthy's work echoes that of
European artists such as Joseph Beuys or the Viennese Aktionistes,
but gives 'action art' a postmodern twist. This new revised and
expanded edition includes contributions by luminaries such as
Kristine Stiles, Ralph Rugoff, Massimiliano Gioni and Robert Storr.
The most comprehensive monograph to date on the groundbreaking
Swiss artist and international art star, Pipilotti Rist A pioneer
of experimental video art, Pipilotti Rist is celebrated for her
expansive installations that bridge the spaces between fine art and
popular culture, the natural world and the technological sublime.
Through vivid colors, audaciously sensuous imagery, and playful
sexuality, Rist's art-which ranges from single-channel videos to
multilayered environments-absorbs viewers in a hyperfeminine
aesthetic interlaced with deeper themes of pain, innocence, and
transformation.
The work of seminal contemporary artist Chris Burden, insightfully
contextualized around major themes, illuminates a practice that is
as unique as it is influential. For four decades, Chris Burden's
work has redefined the boundaries of the sculptural field. Whether
subjecting himself to extremes of physical suffering or
reconfiguring forgotten urban objects and toy models to create
potent signifiers of a time and place, the brute force of Burden's
work in the physical realm reverberates through the psychic one. On
the occasion of the New Museum's focused survey of Burden's work,
this book provides new perspectives on his art. Organized around
themes like the Myth of the American West, the Institution, Gender
Roles, and Model Making, the book reexamines preoccupations that
span the artist's long career.

A monograph surveying the storied career of German artist Hans Haacke, on the occasion of a major retrospective exhibition
Born in Germany in 1936, Hans Haacke is known for his intellectual and politically engaged art that has long shed light on systems of power. A pioneer of institutional critique, conceptual art, and environmental art, Haacke creates incisive, often site-specific works that call upon the viewer to engage or participate and thereby question invisible structural dynamics at play in society. This book offers an opportunity to revisit the artist’s thought-provoking career in light of contemporary culture.

Over the past thirty years, Jim Shaw has become one of America's
most visionary artists, moving between painting, sculpture, and
drawings, while building connections between his own psyche and the
larger political, social, and spiritual history of America. Shaw's
imagery is mined from comic books, record covers, conspiracy
magazines, obscure religious pamphlets, and other cultural refuse
to produce a portrait of the American subconscious out of his
personal obsessions. Shaw, along with fellow Michigan native Mike
Kelley, moved to California in the 1970s to attend Cal Arts and was
one of a number of notable artists to emerge from the school in the
early 1980s. Shaw's work is distinguished by rigorous formal and
structural analyses of neglected forms of vernacular culture.
Accompanying a major exhibition, this is the first major monograph
devoted to the entirety of the artist's unique, multifaceted
career.

A comprehensive volume--overseen by the artist himself--on one of
the most renowned living artists today, Takashi Murakami. Takashi
Murakami is celebrated the world over for his deft blurring of high
and low art. In this volume, accompanying a major exhibition of his
work and the first in the Middle East, readers are immersed in the
unique way Murakami channels the ecstasy and anxiety of
contemporary culture.Conceived by the artist as a self-portrait in
the guise of a cartoon, Murakami - Ego illuminates the role of the
artist as a cipher and critic of pop phenomena as well as a mirror
of global networks of consumerism, interpretation, and exchange.
The book features some of the artist's most celebrated series,
including Kaikai Kiki Lots of Faces and Pom and Me. Murakami has
conceived of the exhibition itself as a work of art, creating new
modes of display that include sculptural pedestals with digital
animation, a circus tent that doubles as an indoor cinema, and an
impressive 300-foot-long painting, all of which are featured in the
book. In addition to an interview by curator Massimiliano Gioni,
Murakami will contribute writings on various works.
The first book to explore two of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art side by side, Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons
In the first half of the 20th century, Marcel Duchamp redefined what we consider art and what it means to be an artist.
Many of his ideas return, transformed, in the work of Jeff Koons, born when Duchamp was 68 years old and whose own career lit up the art world of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
This is the first book to explore the affinities between these two highly influential artists, whose creative universes similarly question the function of objects and the allure of commodities.
International art historians, writers, and curators contribute their expertise on topics such as each artist's persona, as well as reflecting on the influence of technology and sexuality on their work.
The publication of this intriguing book coincides with an exhibition at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City, opening in May 2019.

Using a restrained palette of pencil and colored pencil on paper,
Greek artist Christiana Soulou (born 1961) draws figures that
embody a ceaseless formation and fragmentation of the self.

Beings" and a series of awkward ballet dancers. The richness of
Soulou's imagery and storytelling is at the core of her exploration
of identity. Part of the "2000 Words" series, conceived and
commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste
Foundation for Contemporary Art, "2000 Words: Christiana Soulou"
presents the entirety of the artist's works in the Dakis Joannou
Collection and includes an essay by Claire Gilman examining the
tension between the material and immaterial in Soulou's work.
