Horses of Iceland is photographer Guadalupe Laiz’s first book celebrating her love for Iceland, its people, and its horses. Taken over a period of five years, Laiz’s photographs are a portrait of the beauty and gentleness of the Icelandic horses in their natural habitat.

In this superb large-format volume, first published in 2019, Laiz captures the beauty and strength of the Icelandic horses in a compelling pictorial journey. Her sensitive photography showcases the inherent nature of the horses in intimate portraits and against Iceland’s dramatic landscapes. The magnificent colour and black-and-white images present the horses in fine detail, bringing the majestic animals to life.

Laiz invites readers to share her love for Iceland, its people, and the horses. She has since returned to Iceland numerous times to photograph the horses for her follow-up publication.

Can We Stop Killing Each Other? wrestles with the darkest side of humanity. It explores the fundamental question of why humans are led to kill, examining the artworks, films, video games and television programmes that grapple with and manifest themes of death and destruction.

Using material culture linked to moments of extreme violence, such as the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, this publication offers a challenging but eye-opening consideration of some of the most horrifying events in human history as explored through art.

Using historical and contemporary art as a lens to explore these themes, the book will include a new interview with Ethiopian artist Tesfaye Urgessa (b.1983), who creates emotive paintings reflecting on the refugee crisis. It will also explore the role of art as sanctuary from violence, through new approaches to the work of Claude Monet (1840–1926)

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Solvay House is widely acclaimed as the pinnacle of Victor Horta’s architectural achievements. This groundbreaking architect challenged conventional architecture, addressing every issue through the lens of technological advancement—whether it be spatial design, materials, heating, ventilation, or lighting. From the floor plan to the selection of marble, from furniture to chandeliers and carpets, everything was meticulously designed by Horta. Françoise Aubry, a renowned Victor Horta specialist, narrates the story of this quintessential Art Nouveau masterpiece.

Additionally, these scenarios are presented against the background of changing discourse and practice of regenerative approaches to American cities.

Combining archival materials, including Cox’s personal sketch-books, with period and contemporary photography, this volume sheds light on the complex process associated with redrawing the city, from New York and Florence to Detroit and Chicago. It provides hope and guidance for future generations who seek to continue in the that approach so fearlessly spearhead by Maurice Cox.

An exciting and essential record of downtown Manhattan—iconic street scenes captured from the same vantage point in 1980s and today.

When photographer Daniel Root moved to the East Village in the early 1980s, this constantly changing neighbourhood was in one of its periods of greatest ferment. Multiple immigrant groups maintained enclaves there—including Ukrainians, Puerto Ricans, Italians, Dominicans, and Poles—even as drug dealers plied their trade in abandoned buildings and young artists flooded in looking for cheap rents, followed close behind by real estate speculators. Through his lens, Root captured a young Madonna filming Desperately Seeking Susan on St. Mark’s Place; the storefront galleries of the East Village art scene; Life Cafe, where Jonathan Larson would write—and set—Rent; retirees playing chess in Tompkins Square Park; junkies fleeing the police. Forty years later, Root—still an East Village resident—has returned to the very same places where he took those pictures, to document how the scene has changed. Root’s “then and now” photographs, presented together in this volume along with his wry commentary, document the transformation of a legendary New York neighbourhood for better and worse—higher rents, yes, but lower crime; displacement, but also the persistence of community and creativity. A foreword by renowned artist Peter McGough and noted Beat historian Bill Morgan shed further light on the history of the East Village. This will be an essential volume for all downtown denizens, past, present, and future.

You may not know his name, but you’ve seen his work. Co Rentmeester—Dutch-American, Olympic rower turned visionary photographer—is the eye behind some of the most iconic images of our time. His shot of Michael Jordan helped shape what would become the legendary Nike logo (though the brand won’t admit it). His haunting Vietnam War photos inspired Francis Ford Coppola while making Apocalypse Now and with more LIFE Magazine covers to his name than any other photographer, Rentmeester’s impact is undeniable. This book is a bold dive into Rentmeester’s extraordinary archive—showcasing a photographer who defied categories and redefined visual storytelling. Artistic. Gritty. Creative. Commercial. Timeless.

In 1981—just three years after skateboards first arrived in Germany from the USA—Helge Tscharn began to photographically document the dawn of German skateboarding history. Being part of the scene himself, Tscharn captured every phase of German skateboarding with his signature style: the raw beginnings of the 1980s, heavily influenced by the punk rock movement, were immortalised in grainy black-and-white shots, while colour film and the occasional fisheye lens came into use in the era of hip-hop and 90s streetwear. Over the course of his career, he not only witnessed talent come and go, but also the rise of the stars of the skateboarding world—and often their tragic downfall.

Tscharn was always there, always in the thick of it, accompanying the indie and emo wave of the 2000s, the DIY culture of the 2010s, and of course, the present, which embraces and reinterprets all these influences. His photos, spanning over 40 years, exude the sweat and blood of the riders in every grain and appear like time capsules with an unmistakable feel for the moment.

With portraits of: Lance Mountain, Jim Greco, Sonic Youth, Pantera, Motorhead, Marc Gonzales, Tom Penny, Prodigy, Aphex Twin and others.

Travel today is fast, comfortable, and accessible to many. But between the 17th and early 19th centuries, it was a privilege reserved for the elite. Young British aristocrats would embark on a Grand Tour as the final stage of their education. Italy was the highlight of this cultural journey, with visits to Rome, Florence, Venice, and Mount Vesuvius. Along the way, they admired art and architecture, forged connections, and refined their taste – often returning home with artworks and souvenirs to adorn their country estates.

It wasn’t just young men who travelled; entire families journeyed across Europe in grand entourages. What inspired them to set out, which routes did they take, and what treasures did they bring back?

This book explores those journeys and presents a remarkable selection of artworks brought home from three of England’s finest stately homes: Holkham Hall, Burghley House, and Woburn Abbey.

Building on themes from his acclaimed monograph The Silence of the Lens, artist David Claerbout’s latest work, The Woodcarver and the Forest, explores the delicate interplay of creation and destruction, solitude and connection. Set against the evocative backdrop of Kasteel van Gaasbeek, a mesmerising video installation seamlessly blends stillness and motion, offering a profound meditation on time, patience, and our deep, intricate bond with the materials we shape. In addition to the new film, the book presents a curated selection of David Claerbout’s works, seamlessly integrated into the historic rooms of Kasteel van Gaasbeek. Set against the backdrop of a vast forest, the castle’s rich 19th-century neo-style architecture, adorned with intricate woodwork, creates a dialogue between past and present, craftsmanship and nature.

Formula 1 is more popular than ever. The race calendar expands every single year, with more spectators flocking to Formula 1 tracks, and more people tuning in behind their TV screens to follow every twist, every acceleration, and every overtake.

But Formula 1 is much more than what is shown on TV. Formula 1 is mechanics at work in the battle for split-seconds during a pit stop. Formula 1 is massive development departments working to find the key to success. Formula 1 is a commercial circus that entertains and impresses.

In this book, one of the most experienced figures in the Formula 1 caravan, reporter and photographer Peter Nygaard, takes readers behind the scenes. Nygaard has covered almost two-thirds of the Formula 1 Grand Prix races that have been held since Formula 1’s inception in 1950. Through his camera lens and conversations with some of the most central figures, he tells the stories of the greatest drivers, the wildest dramas, and the continuous evolution of Formula 1.

Hear from some of the biggest figures who, from inside the car, the pit lane, or around the track, have experienced everything that makes Formula 1 what it is today.

“I have been photographing the world’s sacred places since 1979. My lifelong theme in the photography is “beauty of impermanence”. I find a beauty in flower, as its life is only several days and can see the change every day. Even the stone monuments of sacred places, after a few thousand years, it starts to turn into sands just by natural elements, sun, wind and rain. I find it beautiful. People’s life is somewhat short, and knowing there is a limit of life, I see people shine within the time. As if the time polish a stone into a jewel. I see the same with people. My photographs in this show and a book, is a homage to a beautiful life“. – Kenro Izu
Kenro Izu (Osaka, 1949) is a Japanese-born photographer based in the United States.

The Paris guide is focused on describing the complexity of this European metropolis through its 20th and 21st century architecture.
Following Haussmann’s transformations, Paris, the most densely constructed city in Europe, expanded thanks to a flexibility based on a matrix able to absorb and integrate the directional courses of the architecture of the period. However, the complexity of the urban transformations and the changes in the Parisian architectural panorama did not erase the solid identity of the city’s urban image. This book guides the reader through decades of Parisian architectural history beginning with the great names of the Modernist movement, Loos, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. The second half of the 20th century is famous for the cultural vitality of the city reflected in the innovative architecture of the Centre George Pompidou designed by Piano and Rogers. The Pompidou Centre is both the symbol and result of the 1968 student revolution. The 1980s and 90s were defined by the forceful initiatives of President François Mitterrand, promoter and advocate of iconic projects like the Louvre Pyramid, the Musée d’Orsay renovation, the Parc de la Villette and the Arab World Institute. The present period is represented with several selected projects that have elevated the quality of certain areas on the outskirts of the urban agglomeration.

Yoga and the City combines art, spirituality, and sport. It is a reflection of strength and power – strength to overcome adversities and to find balance while living in a fast paced environment. Yoga is a way to find alignment, to become closer to your spiritual core.

‘The publishers are to be congratulated for their exemplary production’ – Curtis’s Botanical Magazine‘…this will go down as one of the greats of plant exploration literature…’ – Roy Lancaster ‘The appeal of the book lies as much in Ward’s prose as in the thrilling story of exploration and discovery. He was a fine writer and it is a cause for celebration that one of his best books is now again available after a gap of 70 years’ – Ursula Buchan, The Independent ‘There’s no doubt that such an elegant and exciting book new book richly deserves a new readership… the story behind its reissue is no less gripping than Kingdon Ward’s own narrative’– Ambra Edwards, Gardening Which?

Little explored and virtually inaccessible, the Tsangpo Gorge in south-east Tibet is the world’s deepest gorge. Through it twists the Yarlong Tsangpo, Tibet’s great river, emerging from below on the plains of India. This is the story of its exploration and the rich plant and animal life found there. Riddle of the Tsangpo Gorges, first published in 1926, is the fascinating account of plant-hunter and explorer Frank Kingdon Ward’s most important expedition. Kenneth Cox, Kenneth Storm, Jr. and Ian Baker spent over ten years retracing the route of the 1924-25 expedition and managed to reach further into this magical and only partly explored land.

The book contains the original Kingdon Ward text and extensive additional material, including a history of the exploration, geography and religious significance of the area and more than 250 colour photographs with detailed captions on the plants of the area, most of which are described by Kingdon Ward in the original text. There are first person accounts of expeditions to the area by Kenneth Cox and Kenneth Storm. Jr. and a photographic essay documents, for the first time in a book, the new Hidden Falls located in the portion of the gorge left unexplored by Frank Kingdon Ward and Lord Cawdor in 1924.
