Newlamp
The first catalogue raisonn矇 for the celebrated yet short-lived Italian lamp design firmIn its brief existence from 1969 to 1973, the Italian design company NewLamp created no fewer than 55 lamp models, characterized by their innovative and highly modish form and construction.

Over the course of more than 15 years, Paolo Borromeo d'Adda has worked to uncover NewLamp's complex and clandestine history, revealing the secrets and speculations that have surrounded the firm for 50 years. The product of his research is this definitive catalogue raisonn矇, showcasing all of NewLamp's product designs accompanied by preliminary sketches, advertisements and a thorough suite of specifications including all dimensions, the electrical configuration of each lamp, its original price and its present-day valuation.

Ireland
Among the largest ethnic groups outside of their traditional homeland is the Irish. This is because it was England's oldest colony from the Normans in 1170 until Irish independence in 1921. Though they did not control the whole of Ireland until the 16th Century, the English would nevertheless use Ireland as colonial experiment for their later empire. In short, everything from claims of stolen land to genocide have been part of Ireland's history, sometimes religious, always political. This book is therefore concerned with the history of England's interaction with Ireland and the many rebellions that eventually won Ireland its freedom. However, some good things came out of the 800 years of British control, such as the Royal Irish Constabulary, which was the model for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Anglo-Irish Act of Union of 1801 has been a model for many political unions throughout the British Empire. But sometimes, the worst events, like the Irish Potato Famine, which caused the population to drop by two million, had unexpected benefits. Between deportation to the penal colonies or emigration due to the famine or normal emigration from Ireland throughout the British Empire from the 16th to the 20th Centuries, millions of people in the English-speaking world can claim Irish descent. It is this history that time and again will give rise to bouts of political instability. The so-called "Troubles" are just the latest in an endless wave of such events going back to when King Henry II became the first English King of Ireland in 1170. It may be tempting to blame the British for politically destabilized Ireland but it was never a unified nation beforehand. Besides many people supported the British as loyalists as supported whatever Irish Republican movement happened to be occurring, from the United Irishmen of the 1790s to the Irish Republican Army (IRA) of today. So, as one can see, Irish history is so similar, yet so different from anywhere else today. So Ireland has less history of its own free will than almost everywhere else coming out of WWI in the same state as today. How much longer this will remain the case in the face of Brexit is uncertain. But then again, Ireland has always been shaped by events beyond its shores. This book will tell the story of how 800 years of British meddling in Ireland, has shaped the Irish Republic in the 21st Century with the current division of Ireland between north and south having existed since 1921.
Ballo & Ballo
Inside the photographic studio responsible for some of the most iconic images of '60s and '70s Italian designIn the 1950s, Aldo Ballo and Marirosa Toscani established what was to become Italy's premier commercial photography studio, specializing in furniture and product design. Together with a team of architects, designers, artists and magazine editors, they created the most iconic images of postwar Italy's most iconic designs. This publication of Ballo & Ballo's work highlights both their prominence in the design world as well as their prolific output. Products from Arflex and Poltronova sit alongside designs by Archizoom, Ugo Marano and Cini Boeri. Their images brilliantly capture a pivotal yet ultimately ephemeral moment in Italian design, one that defined the country as a paragon of style. The Ballo & Ballo Archive was donated to the Civico Archivio Fotografico of Milan in 2022, and thorough research has allowed several previously unpublished images to be featured in this catalog for the first time.
Seeing Is Believing
Critical, contemporary approaches to G矇r繫me's Orientalist, fetishizing paintings, once revered in the 19th centuryPublished with Qatar Museums. In the 19th century, the art of French painter Jean-L矇on G矇r繫me (1824-1904) offered European audiences an apparently realistic and intimate view of local life in the Middle East, North Africa and the Ottoman Empire. As the 20th-century art world embraced other styles, these same qualities marked G矇r繫me's art as antimodern and entirely forgettable. The tide turned in 1978, when G矇r繫me's scintillating painting of a young, unclothed Arab snake charmer appeared on the cover of Edward Said's Orientalism. This reintroduced the artist's name to the public but also served to negatively politicize G矇r繫me's representations along the lines of Said's argument. The paintings and drawings by G矇r繫me featured in this exquisite volume, in addition to examinations of his biography, influences and historical context, present G矇r繫me as a product of his time, a stylistic pioneer and something of a riddle waiting to be solved.
Chains: Jewelry in History, Function and Ornament
Tracing the history and celebrating the beauty of one of humanity's oldest personal ornamentsThis fascinating and skillfully illustrated monograph shows how extraordinary jewelry--capable of linking the past to the future in the name of creativity, beauty and innovation--can be generated from such a simple functional element as the chain. Adored by kings and queens, the chain is at once a symbol of the manufacture of ancient civilizations and the countercultures of the young. The chain is one of the most loved jewelry pieces of material culture and the most worn in the history of costume, providing perpetual inspiration for artists, stylists and designers. From the Sumerians, Egyptians and Greeks to medieval rigor, Renaissance splendor and beyond, this book--with an authoritative critical essay and a large selection of photographs--retraces the symbolic and aesthetic evolution of the chain from early history to the modern day and its intersections with art, fashion, design, manufacturing and new technologies. This updated version of the original 2018 publication includes expanded illustrative material.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
One of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation for the twenty-first century A Penguin Classic Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration of language and logic, science and mysticism, which has inspired generations of thinkers, artists and poets. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of language, its relation to logic, its power and its inherent failings. Originally published in the early 1920s, it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime. In this thrilling new translation, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein's gem-like prose--at once specialist and, often, remarkably plain-spoken--considering his background in mechanical engineering, while highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.

Caravaggio
A magisterial work on the Baroque master who revolutionized painting through realistic observation and dramatic use of lightingTortured artist, career criminal, murderer: the troubled life of Caravaggio has the power to enthrall an art historian almost as much as his dramatic chiaroscuro paintings. Lasting merely 14 years--from his arrival in Rome in 1596 to his mysterious death in Porto Ercole in 1610--his career as an artist reached dizzying heights with lucrative commissions before spiraling downward as he was pursued for debts, disorderly conduct and eventually homicide. New details of Caravaggio's life are coming to light at the same time as more of his paintings are being discovered and technically analyzed. Thus, this monograph presents the most up-to-date narrative of the life of the artist and his works, in which his turbulent essence shines through. His most famous and dramatic works such as The Entombment of Christ, The Calling of Saint Matthew, Young Sick Bacchus and more are accompanied by fresh analyses scrutinizing the iconography, formal properties and semiotics of each scene. Each work is also flanked by specific technical-diagnostic notes that integrate themselves into the reading of his extraordinary paintings.Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio (1571-1610), was born in Milan. His early commissions included works for Cardinal Francesca Maria del Monte and the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi. From 1600 to 1606 he was considered the most famous painter in Rome. After killing a wealthy young man he fled the city, still painting but on the run as a criminal. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1610.
