› Find signed collectible books: '100 Contemporary Architects'Book summary:Der Erfolgsband Architecture Now aus dem Taschen Verlag hat Nachwuchs bekommen: Architecture Now 2 ist da und dem ersten Band in Gewicht, Ausstattung und in seiner architektonischen Bandbreite absolut ebenbürtig. Sogar das Motto ist immer noch gleich geblieben: "Zurück in die Zukunft" heißt es im Umschlag beider schwer gewichtigen Bände, die sich laut eigenen Worten auf "Die Suche nach einer neuen Architektur" begeben.
Auf den fast 600 dreisprachigen und reichlich mit Farbbildern ausgestatteten Seiten tauchen auch alte Bekannte aus Band eins wieder auf, beispielsweise Santiago Calatrava, Asymptote, Bernard Tschumi, Frank O. Gehry und Tadao Ando. Die vorgestellten Bauwerke aus allen Teilen der Welt sind allerdings nicht bekannt aus dem ersten Band, sondern brandneue, innovative und zum Teil noch gar nicht vollendete Architekturprojekte. Der Fokus bei der Auswahl liegt diesmal allerdings noch mehr auf der Zukunft und dem Experimentellen: Computergestütztes Design und auch nur komplett virtuell existierende Architektur kommen ebenso zum Zug wie funktionelles Bauen.
Der Herausgeber Philip Jodidio legt im Vorwort Wert darauf, dass auch ökologische, kostengünstige und an die Gegebenheiten angepasste Bauweisen vorgestellt werden und auch die Sanierung bestehender Gebäude thematisiert wird, da wir es in Zukunft massiv mit der Entscheidung abreißen oder sinnvoll sanieren zu tun haben werden. Für Jodidio ist und bleibt jedoch die Frage nach der Flexibilität eines Bauwerkes die alles entscheidende Frage in der Zukunft der Architektur: "Flexibilität und auch die Fähigkeit, sich funktionalen Notwendigkeiten und der Entwicklung der Zeit anzupassen, machen den grundlegenden Erfolg neuer Architektur aus."
Genau nach diesen Maßstäben sind die hier vorgestellten Projekte ausgewählt: von biologisch anmutender Gestaltung öffentlicher Gebäude bis hin zu minimalistischen Wohnhäusern ist alles dabei, was es an innovativer zeitgenössischer Architektur auf dem Globus gibt. Ein Muss also für jeden an Architektur Interessierten, ob Professional oder Laie, da es wohl in dieser Vollständigkeit kaum ein anderes Buch gibt. Und wer Band eins noch nicht kennt und nun noch ein paar Bilder sehen möchte, kann hier auch gleich einen Blick ins Buch werfen. --Gabi Bauer [via]

1000 Chairsby Charlotte Fiell, Peter FiellISBN 382284103X (3-8228-4103-X)

› Find signed collectible books: '1000 Chairs'Book summary:Sleek, stuffed, buttoned, or bent, in the den or the dining room, the chair is an indicator of its owner's identity. Chairs make up much of the interior landscape of our homes and workplaces, and a comfortable chair is considered a great asset in either location. A rigorous survey of the last 150 years of chairs, 1000 Chairs is a pictorial guide to the axiom "you are where you sit." Writers Charlotte and Peter Fiell argue that, as well as being an icon of identity, the chair is a form through which designers engage in social, political, and even ergonomic rhetoric. A good example is George Nelson's mass-produced modular seating system. Geometrical in design, its austere, mostly rectilinear lines are efficient and economical. The book follows developments and mutations in chair design from the days before art deco through the rise of modernity and into the mid-'90s, when designers like Philippe Starck used such materials as recycled plastic and injection molded polypropylene.
In total there are more than the 1000 advertised illustrations, and each is accompanied by a small text describing the significance of the chair and its designer. The book includes more than 100 capsule biographies of such designers as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Adolph Loos, and Marcel Breuer. The only problem with 1000 Chairs is, ironically, its own ergonomics. At about eight by six inches and nearly 800 pages, it is an unwieldy little tome. That aside, this is a great book--a must for anyone interested in sitting down. --Loren E. Baldwin [via]

› Find signed collectible books: '20th Century Photography: Museum Ludwig Cologne'Book summary:Images of the century (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) The history of photography began some 150 years ago, but only relatively recently has it been fully recognised as a medium in its own right. Cologne's Museum Ludwig was the first museum of contemporary art to devote a substantial section to international photography. The L. Fritz Gruber collection, from which this book is drawn, is one of the most important in Germany and one of the most representative anywhere in the world, constituting the core of the museum's holdings. This book provides a fascinating insight into the collection's rich diversity; from conceptual art to abstraction to reportage, all of the major movements and genres are represented via a vast selection of the century's most remarkable photographs. From Ansel Adams to Piet Zwart, over 850 works are presented in alphabetical order by photographer, with descriptive texts and photographers' biographical details.[via]More editions of 20th Century Photography: Museum Ludwig Cologne:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Auguste Racinet, 1825-1893: The Complete Costume History / Vollstandige Kostumgeschichte / Le Costume Historique'Book summary:Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet's Le Costume Historique was the most wide-ranging and intelligent study of clothing ever published. Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, the great work -- "consolidated" in 1888 into 6 volumes containing nearly 500 plates -- remains, to this day, completely unique in its scope and detail. Racinet's organization by culture and subject has been preserved in TASCHEN's magnificent and complete reprint, as have excerpts from his delightful descriptions and often witty comments. Perusing these beautifully detailed and exquisitely colored illustrations, you'll discover everything from the garb of ancient Etruscans to traditional Eskimo attire to 19th century French women's couture. Though Racinet's study spans the globe from ancient times through his own, his focus is on European clothing from the Middle Ages to the 1880s and this subject is treated with exceeding passion and attention to detail. Costume History is an absolutely invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; it is also an immensely fascinating and inspirational book for anyone with an interest in clothing and style. al text (2500 manuscript pages) in French and German, as well as all plates and details in the form of high resolution image files which are free of rights and can be used for any creative project.[via]CONTENTS:

Contentby Rem Koolhaas, Brendan McGetrickISBN 3822830704 (3-8228-3070-4)
Softcover, Taschen America, LLC
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Content'Book summary:It's shaped like a trade paperback book, but its hellzapoppin pages look like a glossy, madcap magazine. Really, Content is more like an explosion in an idea factory, or a wild party thrown by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rem Koolhaas in a mood considerably more delirious than his classic 1978 manifesto Delirious New York. It has 70 or 80 sections that look like magazine articles, and they're loosely organized in geographical order, from west to east. Pieces on Koolhaas's projects for Prada and MCA/Universal in LA and the acclaimed Seattle Public Library lead to syncopated meditations on Guggenheim Las Vegas, Chicago's van der Rohe "Miestakes," a modest plan to save Cambridge from Harvard by rechanneling the Charles River, Lagos' future as Earth's third-biggest town, the Hermitage's strange Russian past, Shanghai's Expo 2010, and Asia's skyscrapers, which now outnumber those of the West. When Koolhaas interviews Martha Stewart and gets a Las Vegas update from Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, it's straightforward, but many pages are as mystifying as hallucinations--apropos of nothing, a woman is depicted leaving her infrared heat signature on a tombstone, and Vermeer paintings are paired with scenes from TV's Big Brother. You don't read Content in linear fashion, you page through it amazed, gradually acquiring Koolhaas' ultracultivated taste for the bizarre. --Tim Appelo [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dali'Book summary:Picasso called Dali "an outboard motor that's always running." Dali thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics - and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over thirty years, privy to the reality behind Dali's public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dali - both the man and the myth. [via]

Lanting chronicles the lives of residents such as the aye-aye of Madagascar, the elephant seal of California, and the caiman of Brazil. He favors an up-close and personal approach to his work, and his aptly titled Eye to Eye, made up of 140 color plates, captures the essential qualities of various animals. The subjects did not always appreciate posing for him; while making his images Lanting was challenged by African elephants, sniffed at by lions, and shunned by macaws. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Golden Age of Advertising, the 60s: The 60s'Book summary:Ads from the space age With the consumerist euphoria of the fifties still going strong and the race to the moon at its height, the mood of advertising in the sixties was cheerful, optimistic, and at times, revolutionary. The decade's ads touted perceived progress (such as Tang-?just add water?) while striving to reinforce good old American values. Stars like Raquel Welch, Sean Connery, Woody Allen, and Sammy Davis Jr. endorsed everything from sunglasses to bourbon to handmade suits in an attempt by Madison Avenue to urge Americans to open their wallets and participate in one giant consumer binge. Social change at the end of the era brought psychedelic swirls and liberated women and minorities to a newly conscious public. From forgotten cars such as the Studebaker Avanti, to cigarettes (?Marlboro... a man's world of flavor?) to food, clothing, consumer products, furniture, travel, and much more, this colorful collection of print ads explores the wide, wonderful world of 60s Americana.[via]More editions of The Golden Age of Advertising, the 60s: The 60s:

Graphic Design: Grafikdesign im 21. Jahrhundert/Le design graphique au 21 siecleby Charlotte Fiell, Peter FiellISBN 3822838780 (3-8228-3878-0)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Graphic Design: Grafikdesign im 21. Jahrhundert/Le design graphique au 21 siecle'Book summary:Es gibt eine Kunst, die man kaum wahrnimmt, obwohl sie uns auf Schritt und Tritt begegnet, an Litfasssäulen etwa, an Omnibus-Haltestellen oder in jeder Lifestyle-Zeitschrift. Grafikdesign heißt diese Kunst im Dienst der Marken, und so langsam setzt sich das Bewusstsein durch, dass es sich dabei tatsächlich um mehr handelt als ein schönes Handwerk.
Der voluminöse Band Graphic Design of the 21st Century verspricht dem Leser im Untertitel 100 der besten Grafikdesigner und Designgruppen, die den Weg des 21. Jahrhunderts vorzeichnen könnten, in einer Zeit also, in der Pixel und Software eine kaum zu überschätzende Revolution in der Branche ausgelöst haben. Und -- was soll man sagen: Er hält Wort. Versammelt sind so herausragende Gebrauchskünstler wie KesselsKramer (und deren innovativer Diesel-Kampagne), Tina Frank, Lust, Dextro, KM 7 oder Fellow Designers, die es mit Klassikern wie Ottl Aicher oder der Bauhaus-Schule durchaus aufnehmen können. Eine kluge Einleitung der Herausgeber rundet das Bild trefflich ab.
Alles in allem also ist Graphic Design for the 21st Century ein farbenfroher Band geworden, der tatsächlich in die richtige Richtung weist. Nicht nur für angehende Grafikdesigner (oder solche, die Ideen brauchen), sondern für jeden, der mit offenen Augen durch unsere Alltagswelt geht. --Stefan Kellerer [via]

Gustav Klimt: 1862-1918 the World in Female Formby Gottfried FliedlISBN 3822850160 (3-8228-5016-0)
Hardcover, Taschen America Llc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Gustav Klimt: 1862-1918 the World in Female Form'Book summary:Gustav Klimt's art is thoroughly fin de siecle. It expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna's upper middle-class society - a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure. The ecstatic joy, which Klimt (1862-1918) and his contemporaries found - or hoped to find - in beauty, was constantly overshadowed by death, and death therefore plays an important role in Klimt's art. Klimt's fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times. Particularly his drawings, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the erotic portrayal of women. Klimt saw the world "in female form." Author Gottfried Fliedl also discusses the Secession movement and Klimt's role within this important group of artists. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Japanese Prints'Book summary:The Ukiyo-e print was a dominant and popular art form in Japan - from the 17th to 19th centures - showing street scenes, lovers' assignations, portraits of courtesans and actors, landscapes and travelogues. "Japanese Prints" consists of 139 reproductions by 47 grand masters of this art form. Grouped by artist, each print is accompanied by detailed commentary. Amongst the most celebrated of the artists featured here are: Utamaro, with his courtesans and geishas; Sharaku, with his portraits of actors on the Kabuki stage; and Hokusai, with his landscapes - among them "36 views of Mount Fuji". The books's essays - by Mitsunobu Sato, Curator of Riccar Art Museum, Tokyo and Thomas Zacharias, Professor at the Munich Academy of Art - aim to familiarize the reader with the history of this art form, and examine the technique, content and style of Japanese prints and their influence on European art at the turn of the century.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Klimt'Book summary:[via]GUSTAV KLIMT - THE WORLD "IN FEMALE FORM." GUSTAV KLIMT'S ART IS THROUGHLY FIN DE SIECLE. IT EXPRESSES THE APOCALYPTIC ATMOSPHERE OF VIENNA S UPPER MIDDLE-CLASS SOCIETY - A SOCIETY DEVOTED TO THE CULTIVATION OF AESTHETIC AWARENESS AND THE CULT OF PLEASURE. THE ECSTATIC JOY WHICH KLIMT AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES FOUND - OR HOPED TO FIND - IN BEAUTY WAS CONSTANTLY OVERSHADOWED BY DEATH. AND DEATH THEREFORE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN KLIMT'S ART. KLIMT'S FAME, HOWEVER, RESTS ON HIS REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE GREATEST EROTIC PAINTERS AND GRAPHIC ARTISTS OF HIS TIMES. PARTICULARLY HIS DRAWINGS, WHICH HAVE BEEN WIDELY ADMIRED FOR THEIR ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE, ARE DOMINATED BY THE EROTIC PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN, KLIMT SAW THE WORLD "IN FEMALE FORM." GOTTFRIED FLIEDL ALSO DISCUSSES THE SECESSION MOVEMENT AND KLIMT'S ROLE WITHIN THIS GROUP OF ARTISTS. EXAMINING KLIMT'S WORK AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF HIS TIMES, HE GIVES AN APPRAISAL OF THE ARTIST WHILE AT THE SAME TIME RAISING THE CRITICAL ISSUES.More editions of Klimt:
