Kenzo
Inside the world of Kenzo: the Japan-founded, French-based fashion house blending the visual and olfactory into couturePerfume and fashion have been inextricably linked since the 18th century; even now, the union of these two worlds continues to revolutionize the industry. Couturier-perfumers past and present created fragrances in harmony with the spirit of each house. Clothes, perfumes and their caskets thus form a coherent whole. Couturiers accompany their collections with olfactory creations, offering an invisible, imperceptible dress that leaves a trail, just as a dress leaves a train.Silvana's new publication series explores the perfumes of couturiers, symbolizing the timeless union between fashion and fragrance. The first volume is dedicated to Kenzo, a French luxury fashion house founded in 1970 by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada. His signature designs are bedecked in stripes, checks, prints and especially florals, and it is little surprise that the brand's perfumes draw heavily from the latter. From the iconic Flower to the daring Kenzo World, the world of Kenzo is a universe that smells beautiful.
Man Ray: Shapes of Light
Imbued with humor, strangeness and eroticism, Man Ray's work defies categorization and celebrates the power of imaginationA photographer, painter, draftsman, filmmaker and inventor defined by a stringent creative freedom, Man Ray (1890-1976) turned every medium into a field of experimentation. His greatest contributions, however, were in the field of photography, elevating it to a full-fledged art form with iconic works such as Le Violon d'Ingres and Noire et blanche. The formal audacity and poetic visual language he brought to fashion photography continue to inspire creatives to this day. Through a collection of original and archival materials from the collection of the Palazzo Reale, Shapes of Light traces Man Ray's entire artistic career, from his dabbling in the New York art scene to his years in Paris collaborating with Marcel Duchamp and the Surrealists. Thematic chapters dedicated to self-portraits, muses, nudes, rayographs, solarizations and fashion combine his most memorable works with rarely seen sketches, preparatory studies, outtakes and other ephemera.

Sunshine unites a group of Hirst's works shown collectively for the first time.

Perfect for seasoned collectors and newcomers alike, the publication offers a joyful entry point into a collection that, filled with whimsical forms and vibrant colors, disarms the often-analytical gaze of the art world and encourages viewers to reconnect with the simple pleasure of looking.
Francis Bacon: Paintings
An accessible presentation of Bacon's entire oeuvre of paintings, punctuated by quotes from eminent artists such as Lucian Freud and Damien HirstQuarter-bound with cloth, this volume compiles the complete paintings of Francis Bacon, the dissident darling of the 20th-century art world. Over a career spanning more than five decades, Bacon produced almost 500 paintings, including his signature diptychs and triptychs. Francis Bacon: Paintings charts his entire lifetime of radical artistry, from his early Surrealist experiments of the 1920s to the stark, elegiac works completed just before his death. It features over 700 high-quality reproductions that capture the vigor and detail of Bacon's paintings. In lieu of lengthy essays, brief expository texts accompany select works, indexing the emergence of key formal and thematic developments in his practice. Also interspersed throughout are quotes from Bacon as well as from eminent friends, critics and admirers, such as Lucian Freud, Roald Dahl and Damien Hirst. Read together, the quotes animate a critical dialogue on the artist's work and legacy. While Gilles Deleuze purported that Bacon was interested in "...a static or potential violence, a violence of reaction and expression," the artist himself asserted, "I never look for violence...but life is violent; so much more violent than anything I can do!"Emerging from a turbulent inner life and the devastation of World War II, the Irish British painter Francis Bacon (1909-92) created art that is both unsettling and hypnotic, repulsive and irresistible, earning him a reputation as a "master of the grotesque." Eschewing the abstraction preferred in the mid-century, Bacon instead developed a quasi-realist style that rendered the human figure as warped and anguished.Laura Scalabrella Spada completed her PhD at University College London in the Department of History of Art in 2020. Her research focuses on early modern European art, with a particular emphasis on the body and its processes, boundaries and relations. She has published papers on the politics of corporeality and animation in early modern prints and currently works as an independent researcher.

Fish Letters (and Other Stories)
This collection brings together five masterful short stories that capture Goderdzi Chokheli's genius as a chronicler of his time. Set in the wild mountain villages in 20th-century Georgia, these charming, heartbreaking stories explore the full territory of human experience. Chokheli's storytelling method is perhaps best shown in 'Cipollino', where an ethnographic account of villagers' age-old customs leads into a hilarious tale which ends on a poignant note. 'Fish Letters' is the story of a man who withdraws from life to go be a fish in the river; in Chokheli's poetics, what at first appears absurd develops into heartrending tragedy. In one of his most comic pieces, 'The Communal Crow', villagers compete for ownership of a crow under the arbitration of the local Communist Party official. What unfolds is a comedy of manners, as a rather simple yet absurd problem stumps the Soviet judicial system. These stories demonstrate Chokheli's mastery of the short story form. Translated into English for the first time Chokheli's literary contribution is now ready for the English-speaking world.

The Body in Contemporary Art presents a global survey of art made since 2000 that takes the body as its focus. Examining such areas as nature and technology, identity politics, and the grotesque, writer and critic Sally O'Reilly traces the body's movement from a subject to a live medium of art, and highlights how sociopolitical and cultural developments, from contemporary scientific breakthroughs to the Russian--Ukrainian war, have all had a profound influence on representations of the human form.From painting and sculpture to installation, video art, and performance, O'Reilly reveals the myriad ways in which the body has inspired a generation of artists. Featuring the work of both renowned and up--and-coming figures, including Marina Abramovic, Hew Locke, Jenkin van Zyl, Shirin Neshat, Sarah Lucas, and Shawanda Corbett, The Body in Contemporary Art shows how the human form continues to be pivotal to our understanding and expression of our place in the universe.International in scope with color illustrations throughout, this edition has been comprehensively revised, with an updated selection of artists and five new chapters covering topics such as clothing, work and economics, the nude, and illness.
The Martins
A wryly funny story about a struggling Parisian writer who finds the heroine of his next novel right outside his apartment "Foenkinos is at his best in this playful novel" -- Elle "A charming, clever book" -- The Independent Is it true that every life is the stuff of novels? Or are some people just too ordinary? This is the question a struggling Parisian writer asks when he challenges himself to write about the first person he sees when he steps outside his apartment. Secretly hoping to meet the beautiful woman who occasionally smokes on his street, he instead sets eyes on octogenarian Madeleine. She's happy to become the subject of his project, but first she needs to put her shopping away. Is it really true, the writer wonders, that every life is the stuff of novels, or is his story doomed to be hopelessly banal? As he gets to know Madeleine and her family, he'll be privy to their secrets: lost loves, marital problems and workplace worries. And he'll soon realise he is not the impartial bystander he intended to be, but a catalyst for major changes in the lives of his characters. Told with Foenkinos's characteristic irony and self-deprecating humour, yet filled with warmth, The Martins is a compelling tale of the family next door which raises questions about what it means to be 'ordinary', and about the blurred lines between truth and fiction. Light yet profound, it's another deeply charming story by this beloved French author.
