GARDENING. First published in 1996, this Pimpernel Classic edition has been completely redesigned and includes a new foreword by Andrew Lawson. Using his artist's eye and scientist's training, distinguished garden photographer and writer Andrew Lawson shines a new light on using colour in the garden. This book shows myriad ways to put colours together, and demonstrates the extraordinary power of colour to change the sense of space, to suggest coolness or warmth and to evoke different moods. The basis of creating harmonizing and contrasting schemes is explained and illustrated with dramatic examples. All the major schemes are supported by keyline drawings giving full planting details. In addition, illustrated plant directories, arranged by colour and flowering season, provide cultivation details for over 850 plants, enabling you to assemble the right plants for your chosen scheme and to carry that scheme through the year.

The sixteen projects presented in this volume are documented with remarkable color photographs and meticulous presentation drawings, as well as evocative graphic and painterly representations of the spaces created. Krueck and Sexton's commentary on each work discusses its progression from commission to completed work, and also traces the evolution of their visual language.

herausgegeben von Matthias Winzen

"This catalog has been published in conjunction with the exhibition Thomas Ruff, K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf 12.09.2020-7.2.2021"--Colophon. "Thomas Ruff is one of the most important contemporary German photographers living today. Studying under Bernd and Hilla Becher, Ruff experimented with large-format printing. This comprehensive book focuses on his photographic series from the past twenty years. These series are based on found photographs from a variety of sources. The source materials range from early nineteenth century photography to machinemade photographs of distant planets, from post-war press photos to propaganda images from the People's Republic of China, and from Internet pornography to computer generated photograms. In each series, Ruff explores the historical and technical conditions of photography by examining these highly varied pictorial worlds. At the same time, he takes into consideration the afterlife of the images in archives, databases, and on the Internet, thus formulating highly complex perspectives on the photographic medium and the world that has already been photographed"--Publisher's website.

essays by Dave Hickey and Naomi Vine

"Peter Alexander: In This Light is the first full-scale monograph on this artist, who for over three decades has been an active force in shaping the art and culture of California. The book includes work spanning Alexander's entire career to date, from the cast resin sculptures of the late 1960s to the recent Las Vegas paintings. Essays by art critic Dave Hickey and by Orange County Museum of Art Director Naomi Vine probe the central issues raised by Alexander in his work: the problems surrounding the concept of beauty in making art today. Vine examines the suspect nature of beauty in art in our time, while Hickey discusses the supreme challenge of attempting to create art in paradise.". "In addition to the critical essays, extensive documentation details the career of Peter Alexander, not only illuminating Alexander's life but shedding light on a time in California art when the Light and Space movement was emerging as an important, innovative, and distinctly West Coast approach to art-making."--BOOK JACKET.
