Ralph Gibson's career-long passion for the printed page culminates in his amazing life storySelf-Exposure is the autobiography of celebrated American art photographer Ralph Gibson. With his 80th birthday on the horizon in January 2019 and a career spanning over 50 years, Gibson is at a point of reflection in his life and work and decided to put pen to paper.Writing in candid prose, Gibson takes the reader through his life and career from his earliest memories of growing up in California (the son of a Hollywood director, Gibson's childhood is touched by the old glamour of the silver screen: the likes of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth make appearances) to his time in the navy and his continuous love affair with photography.Gibson's memories are filled with rich characters and period details. Often moving, the narratives of his at times troublesome childhood provide a rich background to the charismatic artist Gibson has become. Gibson covers a range of topics such as music, Catholicism, his wife, Mary Jane, and a long line of fellow artists and photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Robert Frank. His ruminations on his life so far display a deep, thoughtful understanding and self-awareness that make this book a fascinating read in itself as well as an illuminating companion to his work.What emerges is an insight into the mind of an incredible, highly decorated artist. Evocatively illustrated, Self-Exposure presents Gibson's life story alongside his photographic work. Designed and produced in close collaboration with Gibson, this large-format publication--as much a biography as it is an artist's book--is Gibson's most personal book to date.Ralph Gibson was born in Los Angeles in 1939. In 1956 he enlisted in the navy, where he began studying photography. His work is widely exhibited and held in public collections around the world, such as the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He lives and works in New York.

The Civilisation Paintings is a striking catalogue published to accompany the eponymous exhibition at Phillips, London. Commencing on 5 August and showing until 2 September 2024, the exhibition marks the first time Damien Hirst's new series 'The Civilisation Paintings' will be on display. 'The Civilisation Paintings' are striking oil paintings that vividly capture the complexities and beauty of modern urban landscapes. Vibrant trees and flowers weave through the scenes, serving as poignant reminders of nature's resilience amidst human development. Inspired by the Impressionists, Hirst infuses the series with deep emotion, which is compellingly contrasted by his use of AI tools, showcasing his ongoing fascination with science and technology. This beautifully designed catalogue features stunning full-colour reproductions of the complete series, both in their entirety and in their detail. It includes an illuminating foreword by British curator and art historian Norman Rosenthal, as well as an in-depth interview between Damien Hirst and James Fox.

The Black Paintings is a striking catalogue published to accompany Wes Lang's UK debut: The Black Paintings, opening on 27 September 2024 and running until 9 March 2025. The exhibition showcases the complete series of 'The Black Paintings', created between 2022 and 2024, now exhibited for the first time. 'The Black Paintings' vividly demonstrate the breadth of Lang's inspiration, drawing from fine art heroes such as Francis Bacon, James Ensor, Francisco Goya and Alfred Munnings, as well as the kitsch imagery of his childhood. Lang masterfully blends these influences to create his distinctive and deeply personal style. Unique otherworldly characters - skeletons and disembodied skulls - are set against dark and obscured backgrounds or lush landscapes, creating story-like compositions that take on an unexpected liveliness. Lang's works on paper, included in this catalogue, feature these same characters, but set against the blank white space of the page, embedded in intricately inscribed scenes with playful expressions and phrases that echo Taoist philosophy, reflecting the spiritual beliefs which drive Lang's practice. Published in association with Newport Street Gallery, The Black Paintings catalogue features stunning reproductions of 96 paintings and 96 drawings, along with detailed shots of the works and striking visuals of Lang at work in his studio.

HENI Publishing is delighted to present INVADER: In Conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, a book that offers unique insight into the enigmatic French street artist, renowned for his iconic ceramic tile mosaics inspired by the pixelated 8-bit video game art of the 1970s and 80s. INVADER features an expansive, in-depth interview conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, which guides readers through the artist's recent Paris exhibition, Invader Space Station (17 February - 5 May 2024), in the first section and through his studio in the second, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Invader's technical and creative processes, and the global impact of his work. The first section of the book traces the route of the exhibition - held at the former offices of the newspaper Libération- with sub-chapters corresponding to the 'levels' of the show, reflecting on the conceptual and spatial dimensions of Invader's work and his position as a 'hacker' of public spaces. The second section takes place in the artist's studio where the conversation continues on a more personal note, offering an intimate look into Invader's creative world. Richly illustrated, the book maps Invader's numerous artistic encounters, from the graphic novels of Enki Bilal to legendary street artists like Leonard Hilton McGurr (aka Futura 2000) and Tsang Tsou-choi (the 'King of Kowloon'), as well as his relationships with contemporaries including the provocative British artist Damien Hirst, American artist and activist Shepard Fairey and New York graffiti artist Revs.

Gérald Genta is a substantial monograph that explores, for the first time, a lesser-known artistic side to the internationally acclaimed Swiss watchmaker. Aptly named the 'Picasso of Timepieces', Genta was also a passionate painter, a facet of his life often overshadowed by his watchmaking fame. This beautifully crafted book, created in collaboration with his estate, showcases the breadth of Genta's artistic talents, revealing his true passion and creativity. As his wife Evelyne fondly recalls, painting was Genta's 'oxygen', a constant companion throughout his travels and a true reflection of his inner drive. This collection provides a chronological journey through his works, illustrating the effortless unfolding of the figurative compositions into the abstract style of his painterly work. His work reflects a rich tapestry of art historical influences, including the work of Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Marie Laurencin, Joan Miró and Amedeo Modigliani, providing a fresh perspective on his creative output. Perfect for art enthusiasts and collectors, this monograph offers a unique opportunity to delve into the lesser-known artistic legacy of Gérald Genta, a master who left an indelible mark on both the watchmaking and art worlds.

Extraordinary Art Dealers brings together a history of art dealing across 300 years, distilled into 30 figures and their varied stories. From connoisseur-dealers - figures posing as 'cultural architects' with the expertise and authority to demarcate aesthetic taste - to commercially-driven salespeople and profiteering opportunists. In-between, there are stories of exceptional talent and creativity, passion, idealism, cultural respectability and occasional moral corruption, revealing the fragmented and multifaceted psychology of the art dealer. By delving into the past, exploring the profession of art dealing as continually evolving in parallel with the changing positioning of the role of art in society, this publication sheds light on the mechanics of dealing today - from the artist-centric approach, to the economically-driven and personality motivated.

A survey of engaging contemporary artworks in which money is the subject or material, from old-fashioned pennies to digital tokensAs an inescapable aspect of everyday life, money has appeared in art throughout its history. Many modern artists have used currency to reflect on various economic, political and social concerns.

Money in Art: From Coinage to Crypto is an accessible yet thought-provoking publication that features an intriguing selection of modern and contemporary art. David Trigg gathers a selection of over 90 works presented chronologically from Pop art onward, and provides engaging texts contextualizing the role of money in the history of art.David Trigg has written widely on contemporary art for books and major art journals including Studio International, the Art Newspaper, Art Monthly, ArtReview and Frieze.

Hirst takes inspiration from the corporeal practice of the Abstract Expressionists in his latest paintingsJust as Jackson Pollock once said "I am nature," Damien Hirst (born 1965) sets out to "use the nature in me," tapping into both artistic expression and innate wildness. Reverence, Revelation, Devotion is a new large-format hardback publication showcasing the complete works from three new series of paintings: the Reverence Paintings, The Revelations and The Devotions. Hirst worked on several paintings at once, applying layers to the canvases simultaneously. The result is a series of gestural, abstract paintings produced through intuition and impulsiveness. The works in each series are both mechanical and naturalistic, by which Hirst explores the possibility of "a person trying to paint like a machine." Featuring nearly 200 full-color reproductions of the 144 artworks, the book includes an essay by British writer and art critic Jonathan Griffin, in which he compares these series to the work of Agnes Martin, Louise Bourgeois and Robert Ryman.

There is a layer of the public architecture that has become so familiar that we barely notice it. Street furniture has the capacity to define a city, to locate it and to anchor us within it. Benches, bollards, streetlights, signs, barriers, post boxes, phone booths ? they are the physical manifestation of public infrastructure, a network of goods between architecture and the body.00In this book, Edwin Heathcote, architecture and design critic of the Financial Times, looks at the cultural impact of street furniture using photography as a measure of how these things have become indispensable components of the cityscape. Based mainly in and on London ? but including New York, Paris and Budapest ? Heathcote uses history, personal reflection and the lenses of photographers to examine the status of these urban artefacts in both the contemporary imagination and the city streets themselves. It looks at the changing landscape of the cityscape and the way in which street furniture has been adapted to address new technologies, the culture of surveillance and shifts in taste, orthodoxy and material culture.00On the Street looks at the language of street furniture reflected through the glaze of photography and contemporary culture. It is a book about the elements of the streetscape which can exert an increasing impact on our interaction with the cities we inhabit --
