From The Ground Up is a three-part photographic essay focusing on the metamorphosis of the architecture in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

The first comprehensive survey of Japanese avant-garde fashion of the last thirty years, Future Beauty explores the distinct sensibility of Japanese design – the uniqueness of its form, cut and fabric. In the late twentieth century such designers as Issey Miyake, rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto made an enormous impact on world fashion, challenging established notions of beauty and turning fashion into art. Today a new generation of radical designers, among them Junya Watanabe, Jun Takahashi and Tao Kurihara, is gaining acclaim.
Out of stockThe journal “G,” launched at the suggestion of the founder of the De Stijl movement, Theo van Doesburg, and produced by the artist and filmmaker, Hans Richter, was published in Berlin between 1923 and 1926, when the city was an epicentre of the European avant-gardes. Drawing together painting, sculpture, photography, film, architecture, engineering, industrial design, poetry, fashion, and urbanism, it sought to counter conservative forces that would restrict the development of a new and vital culture.
Gabriel Orozco was born in Veracruz in Mexico in 1962. Since the early 1990s, his career has been characterised by constant surprise and innovation. He roams freely and fluently between drawing, photography, sculpture, installation and painting, creating a body of work that resists categorisation. Ranging from subtle interventions in the landscape to meticulously executed sculptures…
Gabriel Orozco, born in Mexico, in 1962, is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Dividing his time between Mexico City, Paris and New York, his constant travelling has been as much a part of his artistic practice as a lifestyle. His works, often playful and characterised by an ironic humour, range from…

Catalog bound in stiff wraps titled GARY HUME:American Tan (Gloss, Charcoal, Bronze, Marble). Published by White Cube, London to accompany the Exhibition Gary Hume:American Tan, 5 September – 6 October 2007.
To accompany Gary Schneider’s exhibition, Skin, at David Krut Projects in 2011, a catalogue was produced in which Kate McCrickard addresses Schneider’s methods and techniques. It is a valuable resource towards understanding the photographer’s work.
Deborah Martin Kao discusses Schneider’s re-presentation of nineteenth-century studio portraits, his handprint photograms, and his fragmented face portraits—all of which reveal as much about the language of photography as they do about the subjects being depicted. She shows how Schneider portrays the collaboration between artist and subject, seen in his use of a light pen to sculpt or trace his subjects over long exposures, and in his prints that display traces of movement in time. Kao also discusses Schneider’s work with scientists to create negatives from which he makes strikingly beautiful images of blood, DNA, and strands of hair, and how these represent a fascinating evolution in traditional thinking about the nature of photographic portraiture.
In this previously unpublished body of work, Gary Schneider presents a haunting series of nudes and faces that emerge and seem to float above a receding black ground. Each image is rendered through a long exposure and by exploring the surfaces of the skin with a small handheld light. Due to the prolonged time required and the inevitable movements and consequent distortions that occur in the process, the results both reveal and obscure the intimate physical details and personality of the individual who poses.
Exhibition Catalogue accompanying the exhibition, Ankara Portraits by American artist Gary Stephens is a compilation of works over a period of four years, which portrays a theme that could be described as an open African style featuring recent paintings completed on Ankara fabrics.

Nancy Ireson is the Schroder Foundation Curator of Painting at the Courtauld Gallery, and specialises in French art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
French painter, sculptor and printmaker Paul Gauguin was born in Paris in 1848 and died in French Polynesia in 1903. The vivid, unnaturalistic colors and bold outlines of his paintings and the strong, semi-abstract quality of his woodcuts had a profound effect on the development of twentieth-century art. But while modern art largely shunned narrative, for Gauguin it remained central.
