Queen Of Arts
Thames & Hudson
Did you know that the four suits of a modern-day deck of playing cards once represented the four classes of society in medieval France? Hearts represented the clergy, Spades the nobility, Diamonds the merchants, and Clubs the peasants. Author Lydia Miller has reimagined these suits as Seers, Warriors, Influencers, and Dissenters, curating the fifty-four women artists featured based on these categories. Laura Callaghan’s stunning, detail-packed illustrations will make you want to flip open the accompanying guide to learn about each artist.

Salvador Dali
Little People, Big Dreams
Learn about the incredible life of Salvador Dalí, one of the pioneers of the Surrealism movement.

Many people doubted Salvador and found him and his work to be too eccentric, but he proved his doubters wrong by creating some of the most iconic and enduring artworks to have ever graced the world.

99 Ninety Nines
Amin Kavousi
Written as a cinematic experience, 99 Ninety Nines is a three-act structured non-fiction narrative poetry collection that depicts a personal journey of enlightenment. Seven years, seven continents, seven heavens and seven hells in the making, but completely composed and edited over the past thirty-three months.
The text is synodic in wording, but precise and convincing, raw and real in quotations. With the audience in mind, we fly in, out, through and beyond spheres, layers and worlds, to achieve the impossible by reaching our Creator, becoming one with creation and human anew. In the rebirth, the main character, 'blue budgie' or 'the traveling heart' thrives after a powerful quest in truth-telling, to become 'a knower', and a whole person.
Specifications - Soft-Cover. Design Version. Poems: 199 / Pages: 399 / Writer: Amin Kavousi

This collection brings together the entire body of work for the first time, including iconic shots, outtakes and unpublished photographs.

Mocafico Numéro
Guido Mocafico
In 1999, pioneering fashion editor and stylist Babeth Djian founded Numéro, the now famous Paris magazine with an unmistakable aesthetic that boldly combines fashion, contemporary art, music and design. Guido Mocafico has photographed provocative still-lifes for Numéro since its first issue, and this comprehensive six-volume publication contains all this work to date.
Every month Babeth gives Mocafico carte blanche for the closing pages of Numéro, a rare privilege in today’s advertising-driven fashion magazines. In response he creates radical still-lifes (of objects including perfume bottles, shoes, watches and jewelry) that incorporate the genres of architecture, landscape and nude photography, and make comparable work in other magazines look like uninspired product shots. The experimental forum offered to Mocafico by Numéro facilitates his maverick, sometimes critical view of contemporary vanity, and has given birth to some of his larger influential series including “Medusa,” “Movement,” “Serpens” and “Stilleven.”
Specifications - 6 volumes: 1324 pages. Softcover in slipcase. Four-colour process. 23 x 30cm.

The fourth issue of HA?NDVÆRK bookazine bears the title "Plant-based". HA?NDVÆRK bookazine has a strong root system, and this issue quite literally goes back to the roots; to nature and its materials, to the plants as a source of inspiration, as a starting point to produce materials and as a source of life – a life which depends on the survival of the bees and in general on the cycle of nature. HA?NDVÆRK bookazine no. 4 contains all of this – as always with a focus on materials and processes as a prerequisite for a sustainable practice in crafts, craftsmanship, art, and design.
