NOVEDADES

This is the first major book on Zegers, who practices an intensely artistic and ecological form of architecture based on landscapes in which she builds. Working frequently in timber, Zegers reaches unique, sustainable, and recyclable solutions that combine and rescue the traditional work of Chilean carpenters with modern techniques. In an almost metaphysical journey, in which organic forms, curves, diagonals, and verticals are combined, Zegers affirms her rising presence as a force in ecologically minded architecture.

A giant of modern fashion photography, Bourdin lent his surrealist eye to the shoes and fashions of Charles Jourdan. Creating compositions full of movement, color, and sensuality, this pioneering collaboration between designer and photographer still exerts a profound influence on modern fashion photography. The late 1960s saw some of the most dynamic periods in French fashion. And the union between Bourdin and Jourdan captured the spirit of the moment unlike any other creative partnership of the era. Jourdan, a polymath who occupied the office of both couturier and shoe designer, tapped Bourdin, a true surrealist among the fashion photographers of the age, and engaged in a creative dialogue through to Jourdan’s passing in 1976.

El siglo XVI es una época en movimiento incesante, un mundo en transición del que Rabelais (1494-1553) no será testigo mudo ni pasivo. Todo lo contrario: es preciso inscribir su obra –gigantesca– como una de las más importantes y ambiciosas en esa trama de iniciativas dispares en las que la política, la religión, la ciencia, el arte, la técnica, el derecho, la literatura... se dan la mano. Obra singular por sus múltiples registros, obra única por sus incontables niveles: todos los ámbitos de lo real y de lo imaginario, todos los peldaños de la escala que va de lo más bajo a lo más sublime, tienen su lugar en esa obra voraz de uno de los más grandes escritores de la literatura universal. Nunca en el pasado, nunca en su futuro, una obra tuvo tal capacidad de ingestión y digestión de materiales tan diversos. Metabolismo desmesurado, excesivo –aunque también educado y exquisito– como el de los gigantes que la habitan.

The first illustrated book to chronicle the dramatic 1973 face-off between French and American fashion designers, which left an indelible mark on the fashion industry, launched American designers as a global force, and challenged the cultural norms of the time. Images from the archives of renowned fashion photojournalists Bill Cunningham and Jean-luce Huré—largely unseen until now—capture the behind-the-scenes drama, fabulous clothing, iconic models, and glamorous guests at this historic show.

In 1952, after becoming one of the first-ever recipients of a Master of Science degree in Photography at Chicago’s Institute of Design, native New Yorker Marvin E. Newman returned to his hometown. Like many artists before, he set about chronicling the city. Unlike his predecessors, Newman chose color photography as the preeminent medium for capturing the people and energy of New York, and its emergence in the 1950s as the self-proclaimed “Greatest City in the World.”
