Næblerød

Frederik

Frederik Næblerød (f. 1988) er en af dansk samtidskunst mest kompromisløse unge talenter. Hans værker bunder i det spontane og henter inspiration fra kunstnerens umiddelbare omgivelser, som med stor skaberkraft omsættes til et ekspressivt og humoristisk univers, der spænder over alt fra maleri, tegninger, keramik, fotografi, collager, skulpturer og installationer.

Fotografen Fredrik Clement (f. 1972) har fulgt Næblerød siden 2022, da Næblerød stod på kanten af sit internationale gennembrud og over for en væsentlig kunstnerisk og personlig udvikling. I bogens dokumentariske fotografier kommer vi helt tæt på Næblerød, både i hans studie og på opgaver og rejser i Danmark og udlandet. Med tiden udviskes grænserne mellem fotograf og kunstner, og projektet udvikler sig i retning af kunstnerisk samskabelse. Næblerød maler på Clements fotografier og skaber en serie af selvportrætter, som er en helt ny form i hans virke. Bogens billeder er vist på Næblerøds soloudstilling All Walks Of Life på ARKEN Museum for Samtidskunst.

Before Easter After

Patti Smith

Hundreds of rarely seen images by legendary photographer Lynn Goldsmith offer an intimate portrait of rock ’n’ roll icon Patti Smith during a transformative moment in her career. Images of Smith performing on stage combine with candid behind-the-scenes photographs and striking studio shoots to create a deeply personal look at the singer during her rise to fame. The photographs include Smith’s life-changing accident while on tour in 1977 and the aftermath, as well as closeup, empathetic portraits that reveal Smith’s self-assurance, her defiance of cultural norms, and her effortless poise. This poignant visual narrative is punctuated throughout by Smith’s original poetry and song lyrics.

This book is both a glimpse into a fabled time in music history, documenting a young artist creating what turned out to be a revolutionary work, as well as a celebration of an enduring partnership between two close friends who continue to be creative collaborators to this day.

Away

Christoph Niemann

Christoph Niemann simply can’t resist traveling. Luckily for us, he’s no standard globetrotter but an artist who can masterfully capture his surroundings, wherever they may be, in vibrant brush and ink drawings. “As an artist,” he says, “I’m conscious of the limitations that come from seeing the world through a Western lens. That’s why I like to travel: because traveling requires—and inspires—a shift in perspective.” And so in Away we’re privileged to accompany him on journeys to all the destinations our wanderlust might desire, be they picturesque towns, bustling cities or sublime nature: from the elegant Tuileries of Paris to the dramatic Arctic forms of the Svalbard archipelago, from Angkor Wat to São Paulo and Venice and beyond

Summer Days

Wayne Thiebaud

This book tracks the career of the artist over six decades, revealing his retained interest in lighthearted subjects while casting them in traditional modes of painting.

The catalogue features paintings from the 1960s through the 2000s of beach scenes, hot dogs, ice creams, beach balls, and bathing suits.

Most of the works come directly from the foundation and are rarely seen in public. More than 60 paintings show the artist's versatility, dazzling technique, and rich use of color, as well as a sense of playfulness--a longing for a sweeter and more nostalgic time.

Poggy Style

Rizzoli

Poggy Style is the modern man’s guide to getting dressed, from Motofumi “Poggy” Kogi—a sought-after fashion tastemaker and street style star known for his refreshing perspective on men’s dressing for today.

In Japanese culture, there is the concept of hare (roughly translated as festive or extraordinary occasions) and its antonym is ke (roughly translated as ordinary, or day-to-day). It is often said that living a life of ke alone withers the spirit. Human beings need the occasional moment of hare, and they should dress accordingly.

Resolving this tension of dressing for both work and play, and for both formal and informal settings, is what has driven Poggy over two decades of design and curation. By mixing streetwear savvy with what is referred to in Japan as “Traditional” Western fashion, he challenges rigorous definitions of what is done or not done, inventing new ways of dressing up. In his own inimitable way, Poggy shares with readers how fun and appropriate it can be when you break the so-called rules. His sartorial approach is casual, but with a little effort: a hoodie layered under a tweed jacket, a tailored suit styled with sneakers and topped with a wide-brimmed hat, a basketball jersey paired with a cozy vintage coat.

In contrast to fashion titles devoted to the collections of one creator, Poggy Style is all about self-expression, and how inexpensive or lovingly worn items can be extremely versatile or can express one’s individuality: a new wabi-sabi sensibility.
