Rizzoli Libri Tre donne
14.9 CHF
Ogni donna è una voce, uno sguardo, una sensibilità unica e irripetibile. Lo sono anche Gesuina, Maria e Lori, una nonna, una madre e una figlia forzate dalle circostanze a convivere in una casa stregata dall'assenza prolungata di un uomo. Tanto Gesuina, più di sessant'anni e un'instancabile curiosità per il gioco dell'amore, è aperta e in ascolto del mondo, quanto Maria, sua figlia, vorrebbe fuggire la realtà, gli occhi persi tra le carte di traduttrice e i sentimenti rarefatti rivolti a un altrove lontano. Il ponte tra questi due universi paralleli è Lori, sedici anni fatti di confusione e rivolta, che del cuore conosce solo il ritmo istintivo dell'adolescenza. Ma il fragile equilibrio che regola la quotidianità di queste tre generazioni è destinato a incrinarsi quando un uomo irrompe nelle loro vite, e ristabilirne uno nuovo significherà abbandonarsi alla forma più pura di passione, quella per la libertà. Tre donne illumina i percorsi nascosti e gli equilibri impossibili del desiderio, li fotografa con un taglio inedito che ne coglie le delicate sfumature in tutte le età della vita. contributori LE Liliana Bottone LE Francesca Agostini LE Evelina Nazzari

Rizzoli US Sorolla: Painted Gardens
59.9 CHF
Valencian master Sorolla's Impressionist paintings depict the most beautiful gardens and architecture in Spain. Like Claude Monet's celebrated plein air landscapes at Giverny, the series collected in this book represents among the best-loved examples of Joaquín Sorolla's (1863-1923) work, and a window into the Spanish painter's quest to capture the essence of a garden. Described by Monet as "the master of light," Sorolla and his landscapes, formal portraits, and historically themed canvases drew comparisons to contemporary American painter John Singer Sargent. Sorolla had achieved renown on both sides of the Atlantic for grand scenes of Spanish life when he began a personal series of garden works, presented completely for the first time in this publication. Painted at the palaces of La Granja and the Alcázar in Seville, the Alhambra and Generalife in Granada, and at the painter's home in Madrid, these Impressionist works allowed Sorolla to apply his signature loose brushwork and training as a photographer's lighting assistant to gardens and the sculptures, architecture, and sitters that frame and animate them. Sorolla depicted reflections in fountains and pools, the sunlight dappling his glamorous sitters, sprays of orange blossoms, and shaded blue-and-white tile as he endeavored to render the radiant peace of a summer afternoon.

Quella tra Oriana e Pier Paolo è una delle più affascinanti e intense storie di amore-odio della letteratura e del costume italiani del Novecento. Scrittori di primissimo livello, polemisti spietati, personaggi venerati e infangati dall'opinione pubblica del tempo, le loro personalità contrapposte non potevano far altro che incrociarsi. Forse anche perché, a differenza dei loro colleghi italiani, Oriana e Pier Paolo si muovono con agio sullo scenario internazionale: lei grazie ai suoi reportage dalle zone di guerra e a una serie di indimenticabili interviste ai potenti della terra, lui soprattutto per merito del suo cinema che spiazza, divide e scandalizza i censori di tutto il mondo. Tra gli anni Sessanta e i primi Settanta, questi due protagonisti del panorama intellettuale si incontrano e si scontrano, si cercano e si negano: lei ammira e detesta il suo essere sempre bastian contrario, lui adora e disprezza la sua intensa visceralità. Ma la morte di Pasolini, il brutale omicidio che lo strappa alla vita il 2 novembre del 1975, spinge Oriana a rinsaldare il legame con questo amico-nemico andato via troppo presto. E lo fa con i mezzi a sua disposizione, quelli del giornalismo e della scrittura. Sotto la sua spinta, «L'Europeo» – il settimanale per cui lavora – si lancia in una controinchiesta che smentisce e ribalta la versione offerta dalle autorità e mette alle strette l'unico indiziato: Pino Pelosi, un minorenne che – pur di coprire gli effettivi responsabili – si è maldestramente autoaccusato dell'omicidio. Questo libro raccoglie tutti i contributi di Oriana al caso Pasolini apparsi sull'«Europeo» e rende finalmente giustizia al suo ruolo nella risoluzione di uno dei delitti più misteriosi e controversi della storia d'Italia contributori LE Maria Rosaria Omaggio
![Rizzoli US Martin Margiela]()
Rizzoli US Martin Margiela
59.9 CHF
A breathtaking survey of 20 years of fashion designs by Martin Margiela Timed to coincide with a major exhibition, this volume revisits the years during which celebrated designer Martin Margiela achieved the status as one of the most important designers at work today. One of the "Antwerp group of six" who changed the face of contemporary fashion, Margiela created 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009 which promoted a unique vision of understated luxury -- monochromes, oversize volumes, and his signature "constructed-deconstructed" cuts - whose credo is comfort, timelessness, sensuality, and authenticity. Famously reclusive, Margiela never showed his face even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own, free from any link to celebrity or self-promotion. This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces, the music, the designer's intentions, the iconic pieces. Over the years, recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity, whiteness, past and anteriority, diversion. The book reveals the sensitive, poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.

Liz è bella, bionda, solare; ha una grande casa a New York, un matrimonio perfetto, un lavoro invidiabile. Eppure, in una notte autunnale, si ritrova in lacrime sul pavimento del bagno, con l'unico desiderio di essere mille miglia lontana da lì. Quella notte, Liz capisce di non volere niente di tutto quello che ha, e fa qualcosa di cui non si sarebbe creduta capace: si mette a pregare. Come reagireste se Dio (o qualcosa che gli assomiglia) venisse a toccarvi il cuore e la mente, non per invitarvi alla pazienza e alla rassegnazione, ma per dirvi che avete ragione, quella vita non fa per voi? Probabilmente fareste come Liz: tornereste a letto, a pensarci su. A raccogliere le forze, perché il bello deve ancora venire. Un amarissimo divorzio, una tempestosa storia d'amore destinata a finir male e, in fondo, uno spiraglio di luce: un anno di viaggio alla scoperta di sé. In questo irresistibile diario-confessione, Elizabeth Gilbert ci racconta le tappe della sua personalissima ricerca della felicità: l'Italia, dove impara l'arte del piacere, ingrassa di 12 chili e trova amici di inestimabile valore; l'India, dove raggiunge la grazia meditando in compagnia di un idraulico neozelandese dal dubbio talento poetico; e l'Indonesia, dove uno sdentato sciamano di età indefinibile le insegna a guarire dalla tristezza e dalla solitudine, a sorridere e a innamorarsi di nuovo. "Mangia prega ama" è la storia di un'anima irrequieta, con cui è impossibile non identificarsi.

Rizzoli New York Rick Owens: Temple of Love
71.9 CHF
With his provocative and subversive approach to design, Rick Owens has been a transformative force in fashion since he founded his label in 1994. This essential volume is the first critical appraisal of Owens’s work, documenting the evolution of nearly three decades of the designer’s inimitable worldview. Owens remains one of the most daring and influential fashion designers working today. Often described for his “a-grunge-meets-glamor” aesthetic, Owens has cultivated a devoted international following. In his creations, grace and grit are paired with an obsession with structural transformation and movement, where diaphanous, flowing shapes contrast with opaque forms and sharp edges, an approach to formal invention that is complemented by a mania for new and often exotic materials. Timed to coincide with the first comprehensive show of the designer’s work taking place at the Palais Galliera in Paris in summer 2025, the scope and breadth of this exhibition promises to be a treat to both longtime fans and the uninitiated. Owens will reimagine the grand nineteenth-century palace housing the museum, with temporary installations that will serve as vitrines to his many creations. In effect dividing the book between the conception of showcases and the precious objects that they display within, the curatorial essays bookending this visual narrative will attempt to describe the multidisciplinary, even architectural approach Owens has to his creations.

Kick off the evening as the Italians do, with these recipes for drinks and small dishes from the best bars and restaurants of Venice, Milan, Turin, and beyond. Aperitivo takes the reader on a spirited ride through this cocktail culture, covering variations on all the classics including the Negroni, the Bellini, and the spritz and stopping at the chicest bars that have elevated this ritual to an art form. Many of the drinks are structured around vermouths and other botanical-infused liqueurs, which offer a new world of complex flavors. They yield enticingly simple cocktails that refresh without stunning the palate (thanks to a lighter alcohol content). But Aperitivo is just as much about the food because in Italy, drinking and eating go hand in hand. Recipes feature fried sage leaves, oven-roasted eggplant, and carbonara tramezzini, as well as many delicious riffs on crostini, frittata, and focaccia. Whether planning a party or just having a friend over for a quick drink, Aperitivo brings a whole new spirit of conviviality and true Italian style to the occasion.

Winner of the 2020 Award for Excellence from the Association of Art Museum Curators , Art After Stonewall explores the powerful art that emerged in the wake of the Stonewall Riots and the rise of the LGBTQ liberation movement in the U.S. Art after Stonewall reveals the impact of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender civil rights movement on the art world. Illustrated with more than 200 works, this groundbreaking volume stands as a visual history of twenty years in American queer life. It focuses on openly LGBT artists like Nan Goldin, Harmony Hammond, Lyle Ashton Harris, Greer Lankton, Glenn Ligon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Catherine Opie, and Andy Warhol, as well as the practices of such artists as Diane Arbus, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Karen Finley in terms of their engagement with queer subcultures. The Stonewall Riots of June 1969 sparked the beginning of the struggle for gay and lesbian equality, and yet fifty years later, key artists who fomented the movement remain little known. This book tells the stories behind their works--which cut across media, mixing performance, photographs, painting, sculpture, film, and music with images taken from magazines, newspapers, and television.

An exclusive account, design to delivery, from the designers of an automative icon, and its newest, soon-to-be legendary model, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. In 1967, Alfa Romeo created the 33 Stradale, considered one of the most beautiful automobiles of all time. In 2023, Alfa Romeo embarked on creating an heir to this legendary vehicle, producing just thirty-three cars that update and celebrate the famous original. In its more than 110-year history, Alfa Romeo has produced cars admired for their design and performance. Henry Ford said he tipped his hat whenever an Alfa Romeo went by. And Enzo Ferrari, who drove an Alfa Romeo before becoming a great automaker himself, once remarked that “at Alfa Romeo they know how to sew gloves for flies.” This book tells the story of the car’s history and epic redesign in the words of its makers, from the CEO who conceived the project, to the style director who reimagined its elegant lines, to the engineers who made its extraordinary performance a reality. Readers enter into the style center itself, viewing early drafts and the process of creating the prototype, and eventually the models customized for collectors worldwide, each of whom paid a high price for these exclusive vehicles before a single one was even produced.

Graduating from Antwerp s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliquéd details to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure. This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela s garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.

Rizzoli US Peter Doig
77.9 CHF
The most comprehensive monograph on Turner Prize-nominated artist Peter Doig. In every generation of artists, there are a few-or perhaps just one-who propose a new set of questions and alter the way we understand art. Peter Doig is such an artist. While stories of painting s demise in the early 1990s deemed painters and their work quaintly anachronistic, Doig-looking ahead as much as back for inspiration-forged a new painterly language: an ironic mix of Romanticism and post-impressionism to create haunting and sometimes dreamlike landscape vistas. In this lavish new volume devoted to his entire career-which includes paintings, drawings, and reference material, such as found photographs-art historians Richard Shiff and Catherine Lampert mine the artist s rich and varied work. Doig s landscapes have been inspired by the many places the artist has lived-England, Canada, Trinidad. So, too, does memory, or the idea of memory, inform much of his production. This volume is designed in close collaboration with the artist, with Doig specially creating the cover and various elements of the interior. Every facet of the painter s singular vision is explored, from his earliest paintings of the early 1990s to the most recent series of works. Published in association with Michael Werner Gallery

The most comprehensive and authoritative monograph to be published about the prolific master of art deco interior design. Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann (1879-1933) was one of the most celebrated art deco interior and furniture designers. A tastemaker and a style setter, he worked and associated with the best artists in the worlds of fashion, architecture, and the decorative arts, and catered to an international clientele of diplomats, wealthy businessmen, and artistocrats. Known as "The Master of Art Deco," Ruhlmann created opulent, exquisitely designed furniture, homes, and showrooms for the Parisian beau monde in the '20s and '30s, and was known for his use of rare woods with exquisite ornamentation provided by ivory, tortoiseshell, lacquer, mirrors, silk, and tooled metals. In addition to his interiors, Ruhlmann also designed lamps, rugs, wall coverings, cigar boxes, and unusually shaped beds and divans. Today, his objects are highly sought by collectors and connoisseurs. Encompassing examples from all areas of Ruhlmann's output, this book expands upon the author's previous work, originally published in 1984, and contains much new information, sketches, and drawings, and additional archival material never previously seen. This volume is the product of more than twenty years of research, and the author worked closely with the Ruhlmann family, art dealers, collectors, and curators in preparing this truly comprehensive and exhaustive monograph.

Rizzoli Libri Tre donne
14.9 CHF
Ogni donna è una voce, uno sguardo, una sensibilità unica e irripetibile. Lo sono anche Gesuina, Maria e Lori, una nonna, una madre e una figlia forzate dalle circostanze a convivere in una casa stregata dall'assenza prolungata di un uomo. Tanto Gesuina, più di sessant'anni e un'instancabile curiosità per il gioco dell'amore, è aperta e in ascolto del mondo, quanto Maria, sua figlia, vorrebbe fuggire la realtà, gli occhi persi tra le carte di traduttrice e i sentimenti rarefatti rivolti a un altrove lontano. Il ponte tra questi due universi paralleli è Lori, sedici anni fatti di confusione e rivolta, che del cuore conosce solo il ritmo istintivo dell'adolescenza. Ma il fragile equilibrio che regola la quotidianità di queste tre generazioni è destinato a incrinarsi quando un uomo irrompe nelle loro vite, e ristabilirne uno nuovo significherà abbandonarsi alla forma più pura di passione, quella per la libertà. Tre donne illumina i percorsi nascosti e gli equilibri impossibili del desiderio, li fotografa con un taglio inedito che ne coglie le delicate sfumature in tutte le età della vita. contributori LE Liliana Bottone LE Francesca Agostini LE Evelina Nazzari

Rizzoli US Sorolla: Painted Gardens
59.9 CHF
Valencian master Sorolla's Impressionist paintings depict the most beautiful gardens and architecture in Spain. Like Claude Monet's celebrated plein air landscapes at Giverny, the series collected in this book represents among the best-loved examples of Joaquín Sorolla's (1863-1923) work, and a window into the Spanish painter's quest to capture the essence of a garden. Described by Monet as "the master of light," Sorolla and his landscapes, formal portraits, and historically themed canvases drew comparisons to contemporary American painter John Singer Sargent. Sorolla had achieved renown on both sides of the Atlantic for grand scenes of Spanish life when he began a personal series of garden works, presented completely for the first time in this publication. Painted at the palaces of La Granja and the Alcázar in Seville, the Alhambra and Generalife in Granada, and at the painter's home in Madrid, these Impressionist works allowed Sorolla to apply his signature loose brushwork and training as a photographer's lighting assistant to gardens and the sculptures, architecture, and sitters that frame and animate them. Sorolla depicted reflections in fountains and pools, the sunlight dappling his glamorous sitters, sprays of orange blossoms, and shaded blue-and-white tile as he endeavored to render the radiant peace of a summer afternoon.

Quella tra Oriana e Pier Paolo è una delle più affascinanti e intense storie di amore-odio della letteratura e del costume italiani del Novecento. Scrittori di primissimo livello, polemisti spietati, personaggi venerati e infangati dall'opinione pubblica del tempo, le loro personalità contrapposte non potevano far altro che incrociarsi. Forse anche perché, a differenza dei loro colleghi italiani, Oriana e Pier Paolo si muovono con agio sullo scenario internazionale: lei grazie ai suoi reportage dalle zone di guerra e a una serie di indimenticabili interviste ai potenti della terra, lui soprattutto per merito del suo cinema che spiazza, divide e scandalizza i censori di tutto il mondo. Tra gli anni Sessanta e i primi Settanta, questi due protagonisti del panorama intellettuale si incontrano e si scontrano, si cercano e si negano: lei ammira e detesta il suo essere sempre bastian contrario, lui adora e disprezza la sua intensa visceralità. Ma la morte di Pasolini, il brutale omicidio che lo strappa alla vita il 2 novembre del 1975, spinge Oriana a rinsaldare il legame con questo amico-nemico andato via troppo presto. E lo fa con i mezzi a sua disposizione, quelli del giornalismo e della scrittura. Sotto la sua spinta, «L'Europeo» – il settimanale per cui lavora – si lancia in una controinchiesta che smentisce e ribalta la versione offerta dalle autorità e mette alle strette l'unico indiziato: Pino Pelosi, un minorenne che – pur di coprire gli effettivi responsabili – si è maldestramente autoaccusato dell'omicidio. Questo libro raccoglie tutti i contributi di Oriana al caso Pasolini apparsi sull'«Europeo» e rende finalmente giustizia al suo ruolo nella risoluzione di uno dei delitti più misteriosi e controversi della storia d'Italia contributori LE Maria Rosaria Omaggio
Rizzoli US Martin Margiela
59.9 CHF
A breathtaking survey of 20 years of fashion designs by Martin Margiela Timed to coincide with a major exhibition, this volume revisits the years during which celebrated designer Martin Margiela achieved the status as one of the most important designers at work today. One of the "Antwerp group of six" who changed the face of contemporary fashion, Margiela created 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009 which promoted a unique vision of understated luxury -- monochromes, oversize volumes, and his signature "constructed-deconstructed" cuts - whose credo is comfort, timelessness, sensuality, and authenticity. Famously reclusive, Margiela never showed his face even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own, free from any link to celebrity or self-promotion. This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces, the music, the designer's intentions, the iconic pieces. Over the years, recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity, whiteness, past and anteriority, diversion. The book reveals the sensitive, poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.
Rizzoli Mangia prega ama
25.4 CHF
Liz è bella, bionda, solare; ha una grande casa a New York, un matrimonio perfetto, un lavoro invidiabile. Eppure, in una notte autunnale, si ritrova in lacrime sul pavimento del bagno, con l'unico desiderio di essere mille miglia lontana da lì. Quella notte, Liz capisce di non volere niente di tutto quello che ha, e fa qualcosa di cui non si sarebbe creduta capace: si mette a pregare. Come reagireste se Dio (o qualcosa che gli assomiglia) venisse a toccarvi il cuore e la mente, non per invitarvi alla pazienza e alla rassegnazione, ma per dirvi che avete ragione, quella vita non fa per voi? Probabilmente fareste come Liz: tornereste a letto, a pensarci su. A raccogliere le forze, perché il bello deve ancora venire. Un amarissimo divorzio, una tempestosa storia d'amore destinata a finir male e, in fondo, uno spiraglio di luce: un anno di viaggio alla scoperta di sé. In questo irresistibile diario-confessione, Elizabeth Gilbert ci racconta le tappe della sua personalissima ricerca della felicità: l'Italia, dove impara l'arte del piacere, ingrassa di 12 chili e trova amici di inestimabile valore; l'India, dove raggiunge la grazia meditando in compagnia di un idraulico neozelandese dal dubbio talento poetico; e l'Indonesia, dove uno sdentato sciamano di età indefinibile le insegna a guarire dalla tristezza e dalla solitudine, a sorridere e a innamorarsi di nuovo. "Mangia prega ama" è la storia di un'anima irrequieta, con cui è impossibile non identificarsi.

Among significant mid-century interiors, none are more celebrated yet underpublished as the homes created by architects and interior designers for themselves. This collection of newly commissioned photographs presents the most compelling homes by influential mid-century designers, such as Russel Wright, George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eva Zeisel, among others. Intimate as well as revelatory, Williamson's photographs show these creative homes as they were lived in by their designers: Walter Gropius's historic Bauhaus home in Massachusetts; Albert Frey's floating modernist aerie on a Palm Springs rock outcropping; Wharton Esherick's completely handmade Pennsylvania house, from the organic handcarved staircase to the iconic furniture. Personal and breathtaking by turn-these homes are exemplary studies of domestic modernism at its warmest and most creative.
Rizzoli New York Rick Owens: Temple of Love
71.9 CHF
With his provocative and subversive approach to design, Rick Owens has been a transformative force in fashion since he founded his label in 1994. This essential volume is the first critical appraisal of Owens’s work, documenting the evolution of nearly three decades of the designer’s inimitable worldview. Owens remains one of the most daring and influential fashion designers working today. Often described for his “a-grunge-meets-glamor” aesthetic, Owens has cultivated a devoted international following. In his creations, grace and grit are paired with an obsession with structural transformation and movement, where diaphanous, flowing shapes contrast with opaque forms and sharp edges, an approach to formal invention that is complemented by a mania for new and often exotic materials. Timed to coincide with the first comprehensive show of the designer’s work taking place at the Palais Galliera in Paris in summer 2025, the scope and breadth of this exhibition promises to be a treat to both longtime fans and the uninitiated. Owens will reimagine the grand nineteenth-century palace housing the museum, with temporary installations that will serve as vitrines to his many creations. In effect dividing the book between the conception of showcases and the precious objects that they display within, the curatorial essays bookending this visual narrative will attempt to describe the multidisciplinary, even architectural approach Owens has to his creations.

An exclusive account, design to delivery, from the designers of an automative icon, and its newest, soon-to-be legendary model, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. In 1967, Alfa Romeo created the 33 Stradale, considered one of the most beautiful automobiles of all time. In 2023, Alfa Romeo embarked on creating an heir to this legendary vehicle, producing just thirty-three cars that update and celebrate the famous original. In its more than 110-year history, Alfa Romeo has produced cars admired for their design and performance. Henry Ford said he tipped his hat whenever an Alfa Romeo went by. And Enzo Ferrari, who drove an Alfa Romeo before becoming a great automaker himself, once remarked that “at Alfa Romeo they know how to sew gloves for flies.” This book tells the story of the car’s history and epic redesign in the words of its makers, from the CEO who conceived the project, to the style director who reimagined its elegant lines, to the engineers who made its extraordinary performance a reality. Readers enter into the style center itself, viewing early drafts and the process of creating the prototype, and eventually the models customized for collectors worldwide, each of whom paid a high price for these exclusive vehicles before a single one was even produced.

Rizzoli US Maison Martin Margiela
111 CHF
Graduating from Antwerp s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliquéd details to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure. This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates pieces prized for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela s garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.
Rizzoli US Fornasetti
286 CHF
This elaborate volume, authored by the designer s son, is a splendid celebration of one of the world s most inventive design minds. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti (1913 1988) transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he created a wide range of works, including idealized architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury liner Andrea Doria. Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of trompe l oeil furniture, Fornasetti was rediscovered in the 1980s and has remained much sought-after by collectors worldwide. Featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is designed to be an "artist s book" that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti s own approach to design. Fornasetti s work is organized by type and includes paintings, sculptures and etchings, furniture, graphics, textiles, glass, screens, trays, and ceramics, as well as smaller categories. With unique and exhaustive access to the archives, this epic undertaking covers detailed technical, biographical, and bibliographical information, including a list of exhibitions and a register of the complete works.

Rizzoli Universe Int. Pub Owens, R: Rick Owens
77.9 CHF
This luxurious large-format book documents the work of the American designer Rick Owens, a transformational figure in contemporary fashion. Defiantly antifashion, Rick Owens s honest and intensely personal approach to craft has ironically produced some of the most sublime fashion of the last two decades, propelling him to the front ranks of the international avant-garde. Established in 1994, Owens s subversive designs have now become some of the most critically admired in the Paris collections.

Rizzoli US Peter Doig
77.9 CHF
The most comprehensive monograph on Turner Prize-nominated artist Peter Doig. In every generation of artists, there are a few-or perhaps just one-who propose a new set of questions and alter the way we understand art. Peter Doig is such an artist. While stories of painting s demise in the early 1990s deemed painters and their work quaintly anachronistic, Doig-looking ahead as much as back for inspiration-forged a new painterly language: an ironic mix of Romanticism and post-impressionism to create haunting and sometimes dreamlike landscape vistas. In this lavish new volume devoted to his entire career-which includes paintings, drawings, and reference material, such as found photographs-art historians Richard Shiff and Catherine Lampert mine the artist s rich and varied work. Doig s landscapes have been inspired by the many places the artist has lived-England, Canada, Trinidad. So, too, does memory, or the idea of memory, inform much of his production. This volume is designed in close collaboration with the artist, with Doig specially creating the cover and various elements of the interior. Every facet of the painter s singular vision is explored, from his earliest paintings of the early 1990s to the most recent series of works. Published in association with Michael Werner Gallery
