Wendell Castle - A Catalogue Raisonne 1958-2012

The Artist Book Foundation 2015 ISBN 9780988855700 Acqn 25688
Hb 29x31cm 516pp 1550ills 1150col 116
A founder and icon of the Studio Furniture movement, the popular sculptor and furniture designer
Wendell Castle (born 1932) has carved a distinct path over nearly six decades of a distinguished
career. This long-awaited and richly illustrated record of his oeuvre, Wendell Castle: A Catalogue
Raisonn, 19582012, beautifully delivers a worthy homage to his talents. From Castles earliest,
mid-century works through to his unabashedly forward-thinking experiments with unconventional
materials (gel-coated fibreglass and metallic automobile paint, for example) and his latest
signature wood laminations, the common thread that ties these diverse pieces together is
Castles knack for uniting appealing function with biomorphic elegance. Castles pieces are widely
collected and his works feature in the permanent collections of more than 40 museums and
cultural institutions around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York);
Museum of Modern Art (New York); Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, D.C.);
Muse des Beaux-arts de Montral (Quebec, Canada); and the Victoria and Albert Museum
(London). Three essays supplying varying perspectives introduce the catalogue raisonn and
substantial back matter is included.

Shinichiro Ogata Higashiya

Seigensha Art Publishing 2015 ISBN 9784861524554 Acqn 25551
Pb 17x26cm 160pp 60ills 50col 36
Japanese confectionery shops used to be divided into two categories: shops that provided
wagashi (traditional Japanese confectioneries) to those associated with the Imperial Court, and
neighbourhood shops that made simpler kinds for the general public. Recently, the idea of such
neighbourhood shops has faded from everyday life, with people now perceiving Western sweets
as the norm and wagashi only for special occasions or celebratory gifts. This beautifully
photographed book shows how Higashiya strives to change this by recreating Japans proud
culture of wagashi to fit our modern lives, by placing emphasis on the sense of the seasons and
their nuances.

Dexter Sinister - On A Universal Serial Bus

ROMA Publications 2015 ISBN 9789491843471 Acqn 25699
Pb 21x30cm 96pp 30ills 16.50
Since its establishment in 2006, the design and publishing collaborative Dexter Sinister (David
Reinfurt, Stuart Bailey) has been busy working at the intersection of graphic design, publishing,
and contemporary art. Through a workshop mentality, it combines the characteristically distinct
identities of designer, producer, publisher, and distributor. This volume comprises a four-part
collection of electronic works by Dexter Sinister, produced from 2008 to 2015, and mimics the
memory stick released in parallel to an eponymous exhibition at Kunstverein Mnchen, complete
with a speaking asterisk as guide. It is related to three previous engagements of the artists in
2015.

The Best Dutch Book Designs 2014

CPNB 2015 ISBN 9789059652897 Acqn 25565
Pb 12x17cm 608pp 400ills 300col 26.50
However the result is reached, the selection of the Best Dutch Book Designs has for years no
longer been simply a question of the finest printing or binding, nor of the best typography.
Instead, it is a matter of weighing the relationship with the contents, chosen design, and technical
execution. It is important to note how craftsmanship and attention to detail can influence the
concept and aim of a book, and the way in which these are perceived. Every aspect of the
process (preparation, selection, judging, observations, conclusions, etc.) is exhaustively covered
in this small, brick-like volume, including illustrated insights into the more than 30 awarded titles.

The Everyday Flowers Arrangement In Kyoto

Seigensha Art Publishing 2015 ISBN 9784861524967 Acqn 25552
Pb 15x21cm 160pp 120col ills 22.50
According to flower artist Toshiro Kawase, scattered throughout this book are flowers, beloved in
the new and the old Kyoto, that grew in the beautiful soil of Kyotos local character, elegant
culture, and tea ceremony tradition. With arrangements dedicated to each month of the year, it is
a gorgeous and delicate homage to the quintessentially Japanese practice of ikebana the art of
giving life to flowers. Bringing flowers indoors can sanctify your living space, soothe the heart,
and introduce a spiritual presence (kami) to your home. In this way, these purportedly everyday
or benign arrangements become sublime beacons of nature, colour, shape, and beauty.

trophies. In this volume, V&A curators introduce these masterpieces and their craftsmen; the
changes of style and use; the trade regulations and production. This book also explores how the
V&A has shaped the craftsmanship and taste of generations of makers, in London and beyond,
through its superlative collections.
