Mary McCartney: Paris NudeEssay by Charlotte Jansen
Paris Nude presents for the first time a new body of work by the celebrated British photographer Mary McCartney. Over the course of two days in summer 2016, McCartney stayed with her subject Phyllis Wang at her St Germain apartment in Paris, photographing Wang in the nude to produce an extraordinary and intimate series of images. A mixture of black-and-white and colour, the delicate photo-graphs collected here showcase the trust required from both subject and photographer. During their time together, we see the model start to relax in front of the camera as an unspoken bond gradually develops between the two women. With short texts by McCartney and Wang reflecting on their experiences, the book also features an essay by Charlotte Jansen, framing the series within a historical study of the nude in art and giving context to the distinct, fresh perspective of the female gaze.
A special slipcased edition with an exclusive handmade darkroom print, signed and numbered, is available in a limited run of 143 copies plus 7 artist’s proofs.
Mary McCartney (b. 1969) focuses on discovering those rare moments
of unguarded intimacy that offer new insights into her photographic
subjects. Her work in portraiture and candid reportage photography is
suffused with a deep personal investment that captures the creative
chemistry between photographer and subject. Her book Twelfth Night
was published by HENI in 2016.
Phyllis Wang is an American-born Taiwanese writer, stand-up comic
and fashion collaborator, who lives and works in Paris.
Charlotte Jansen is an arts and culture journalist and editor-at-large at
Elephant magazine.

Philippe Parreno: Fireflies Interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist Essay by Vinciane Despret Philippe Parreno: Fireflies presents a series of pen-and-ink drawings by the seminal French artist Philippe Parreno, best known for his film and installation work and for radically transforming the contemporary exhibition experience. Parreno has frequently returned to the motif of the firefly, since reading ‘L’articolo delle Lucciole’ (‘The Article of the Fireflies’) by Pier Paolo Pasolini, published in 1975. In 2011 he began drawing fireflies and sent the resulting works as gifts to friends and collaborators across the globe. All 283 drawings are collected here for the first time, alongside an interview with Parreno by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries, London, and an essay by philosopher Vinciane Despret on time and mortality. Parreno’s Fireflies are among the most intimate and personal works from his widely celebrated practice.
Philippe Parreno (b. 1964) lives and works in Paris, France. He studied at
the École des Beaux-Arts, Grenoble and the Institut des Hautes Études
en Arts Plastiques at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris. He works in a diverse
range of media including film, sculpture, drawing and text, through
which ideas relating to time and duration permeate.
Hans Ulrich Obrist is Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries in London.
Vinciane Despret is a writer and philosopher of science, teaching at the
University of Liège, Belgium.

The Richter InterviewsHans Ulrich Obrist
The Richter Interviews gathers, for the first time, the extended conversations between curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and leading contemporary artist Gerhard Richter. Subjects range from Richter’s place within art history to artists’ books, architecture, religion, unrealised projects and his advice for young artists. The collection also includes a previously unpublished interview focused on Richter’s much-lauded window for Cologne Cathedral. Obrist’s vast knowledge and interrogating mind, coupled with his long-standing relationship with Richter, make him a unique interlocutor for an artist whose work spans more than 60 years and ranges from painting to photography, glass to printmaking, watercolours to books. Illustrations of artworks feature throughout the texts for visual reference. Prompted by the questions of a much-respected friend and collaborator, Richter here reveals rare insights into his thinking and his art – making this an essential book on one of the most influential artists of our time.
Hans Ulrich Obrist is a world-renowned curator and Artistic Director of
the Serpentine Galleries in London. Alongside his curatorial practice, he
has written extensively on contemporary art, with a particular interest in
the interview format.
Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) is widely regarded as one of the most prolific
and pre-eminent artists at work today. His work has been the subject
of exhibitions internationally, including touring retrospectives at the
Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; Tate, London; the Museum of Contemporary
Art Chicago; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Damien Hirst: The Complete Works Colour SpaceEssay by Ann Gallagher
The first in a new series of books covering the entire oeuvre of Damien Hirst, Colour Space surveys the paintings created in response to the artist’s iconic Spot Painting series started in 1986, during Hirst’s first year at Goldsmiths College in London. Where the Spot Paintings were painstakingly rigorous in their formulaic grid structure, intended to look as if they had been made ‘by a person trying to paint like a machine’, the Colour Space series, produced in 2016, is looser and more painterly, featuring drips and splashes of paint. In both series, however, no two colours repeat within a single canvas. Comprising over 270 paintings, the Colour Space works are all made in household gloss paint on canvas. Each painting is fully illustrated in the book, alongside detail images, while an intro-ductory essay by Ann Gallagher, Director of Collections at Tate, places this recent body of work in context, exploring the balance Hirst achieves between the elements of colour and space in each picture, the process of their making, and the belief that they signal in the endless possibilities of painting.
Damien Hirst (b. 1965) is internationally recognised as one of the most
important living artists. Through a varied practice of installation, sculpture,
painting and drawing he explores the complex relationships between art,
beauty, religion, science, life and death. Since 1987, Hirst has had over
90 solo exhibitions around the world, and has been included in over 300
group shows. He lives and works between London and Gloucestershire.
Ann Gallagher is a curator and writer. She is Director of Collections, British
Art at Tate, where she curated a major retrospective of Hirst’s work in 2012.

Cathy WilkesEssay by Dr Zoé Whitley
For the 58th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, the British Council has commissioned artist Cathy Wilkes to represent Great Britain. Presenting new works, created especially for the historic, neo-classical former tea house of the British Pavilion, Wilkes will trigger new meanings and atmospherics within the Pavilion’s grand domestic architecture. This publication, one of the few books on the artist in print, features a new set of drawings relating to the highly anticipated work for the Biennale, and provides rare insights into Wilkes’ creative process. An essay by curator Zoé Whitley explores Wilkes’ art in the context of the artist’s acceptance of ambiguity as a key element in her intense and mysterious work. Designed by Berlin-based book designer Yvonne Quirmbach in close collaboration with the artist herself, this unique publication is as much an artist’s book as a record of this major international exhibition.
Cathy Wilkes (b. 1966, Belfast) was nominated for the Turner Prize in
2008, and was awarded the inaugural Maria Lassnig Prize in 2016, a
biennial award to honour the achievements of mid-career artists. She
has had solo exhibitions at MoMA PS1, New York; The Modern Institute,
Glasgow; Tate Liverpool; Kunstverein, Munich and Studio Voltaire,
London. Wilkes lives and works in Glasgow.
Dr Zoé Whitley is Senior Curator at the Hayward Gallery, London. Prior
to her role at the Hayward, she was Curator, International Art, at Tate
Modern, where she co-curated the exhibition Soul of a Nation. Whitley
has curated works by Jenny Holzer, Lubaina Himid and Isaac Julien,
among others. She is the first mid-career curator attached to the British
Pavilion for the International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale.

Shantell Martin: LinesEssay by Katharine Stout Interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist
Shantell Martin’s work has, for more than a decade, entranced audiences around the world with its intuitive energy, skill and bravura. Through her highly personalised language of characters, faces and messages, Martin invites viewers to actively engage in the creative process. Bridging the fine art and commercial worlds, she uses drawing as a physical stream-of-consciousness, her work characterised by a unique freedom, expressed through the possibilities of her chosen ‘canvas’ – whether a piece of paper or textile, a sculptural surface, wall or screen. The first monograph on Martin – designed in close collaboration with the artist herself – this book charts her complete career, including early pieces such as X Dot Martin (a collaboration with Martin’s grandmother on over 70 pieces of embroidery), large-scale murals and commissions, and collaborations with museums, technical institutes, musicians and fashion brands (including Nike, Tiffany’s, New York City Ballet and Google Creative Lab). Featuring the first critical essay on Martin’s work by Katharine Stout, Deputy Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, Martin’s work is accompanied by an insightful interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director at the Serpentine Galleries, London.
Shantell Martin (b. 1980) is a British visual artist best known for her signature
black-and-white drawings. She has had solo shows at Albright-Knox Art
Gallery, Buffalo, and Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts,
New York. Martin has collaborated with iconic brands as well as with New
York City Ballet and Kendrick Lamar for Miami Art Basel. Martin is adjunct
professor at NYU Tisch ITP and a visiting scholar at MIT Media Lab. She
lives and works in New York.

Damien Hirst: The Complete WorksVeil PaintingsEssay by John-Paul Stonard
A veil is a barrier, a curtain between two things, something that you can look at and pass through. It’s solid yet invisible and reveals and yet obscures the truth, the thing that we are searching for. —Damien Hirst
The second publication in The Complete Works, Veil Paintings collects all the works from Damien Hirst’s 2018 series alongside an essay by art historian and writer John-Paul Stonard. Following on from the ambitious sculpture exhibition Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable in Venice in 2017, Hirst returns to the immediacy of painting with the Veil series. Referencing the pointillism of Georges Seurat and the post-Impressionist work of Pierre Bonnard, as well as his own Visual Candy paintings from the 1990s, Hirst presents his Veils on large canvases, featuring vibrant colours, the impasto technique prominently displaying the hand of the artist.
Damien Hirst (b. 1965) is internationally recognised as one of the
most important living artists. Through a varied practice of installation,
sculpture, painting and drawing he explores the complex relationships
between art, beauty, religion, science, life and death. Since 1987,
Hirst has had over 90 solo exhibitions around the world, and has
been included in over 300 group shows. He lives and works between
London and Gloucestershire.
John-Paul Stonard is an art historian, curator and writer. His work has
appeared in The Guardian, Tate Etc., the London Review of Books, the

Iggy Pop Life Class Jeremy Deller
Published in collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum, where the class was organised, Iggy Pop Life Class documents this extraordinary event conceived by artist Jeremy Deller. In stark contrast to his kinetic stage persona, Pop methodically posed nude on a different kind of stage, while the participating artists – representing New York’s diverse community and ranging from 19 to 70 years of age – depicted his body in the wide-ranging styles expected from a mix of students, practicing artists, and retirees. Iggy Pop Life Class includes drawings by all the participating artists, ranging from five-minute sketches to studies and presentation drawings. Also included are candid photographs of the process, alongside comparative works from the Brooklyn Museum’s collections. The book features an introduction by Deller, an interview with Pop about his participation in the project, and essays on the practice of life drawing in art history and the physicality of Iggy Pop’s performances.

Self-Exposure Ralph Gibson
Part memoir, part photography book, Self-Exposure is the illustrated autobiography of celebrated American photographer Ralph Gibson. Written in candid prose, Gibson takes the reader through his life and across a career that has spanned more than 50 years. Gibson’s story is a fascinating one, from his earliest memories growing up in California to his time in the U.S. Navy and his continuous love affair with photography. Gibson’s memories are time-capsules, filled with rich characters and period details. Often moving, the narratives of his at times troublesome childhood provide a rich background to the charismatic artist Gibson has become. His ruminations on life display a deep, thoughtful understanding and self-awareness that make this book a fascinating read, as well as an illuminating companion to his work.
Ralph Gibson (b. 1939) was born in Los Angeles, California. In 1956 he
enlisted in the Navy, where he began studying photography. He has

Zarina Bhimji: Lead WhiteTexts by M. Neelika Jayawardane and Ann Gallagher
Lead White is the culmination of a ten-year-long investigation by renowned British artist Zarina Bhimji, conducted over multiple continents, delving into national archives to source objects and ephemera that together document and interrogate ‘the legacies of the powerful and the monumental’. Carefully researched, photographed and curated, and combining digital technology with traditional craft, Lead White explores the idea of the archive – how photographs and maps, official stamps and white cotton ribbons, lists and handwritten letters in coloured ink create narratives and enforce institutional ideologies. Accompanied by a series of evocative texts by the artist herself, and essays by curator Ann Gallagher and Professor M. Neelika Jayawardane, giving invaluable insights into Bhimji’s project and working methods, Lead White is a profound and poetic meditation on ‘legality, power and beauty’.
Zarina Bhimji (b. 1963) is an artist specialising in photography and
video installation. Her work is in collections around the world, including
Tate, London, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In 2007
she was shortlisted for the Turner Prize. She lives and works in London.

Gilbert & George: The Great ExhibitionEdited by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Daniel Birnbaum
The Great Exhibition celebrates 50 years of the creative artistic partnership of Gilbert & George. Published in collaboration with the LUMA Foundation in Arles, France, the book features five interviews with Gilbert & George by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Daniel Birnbaum, one for each decade of their practice. Heavily illustrated with examples of Gilbert & George’s artworks, from their early years to their most recent series, and designed by the artists themselves, with their trademark style and panache, this expansive survey is introduced by a text co-authored by Obrist and Birnbaum.
Gilbert & George (b. 1943 and 1942) are known around the world for
their relentlessly controversial art. They met in 1967 at Saint Martins’
School of Art.
Hans Ulrich Obrist is Artistic Director of the Serpentine
Galleries, London.
Daniel Birnbaum co-curated the 50th Venice Biennale. He is the
director of Moderna Museet, Stockholm.
What is Gilbert & George?Michael Bracewell
In answering the question posed by its title, and drawing on his twenty-year relationship with the artists, Michael Bracewell is the first writer to engage directly with Gilbert & George to understand why they have devoted their lives – exclusively and continuously – to the vision of art they conceived within months of first meeting. What emerges piece by piece is a portrait of Gilbert & George as two men who are infinitely more intense, strange, determined and alone than their longstanding public image suggests. Accompanied by illustrations selected by the artists, the book provides candid insights into their working practice, East London, sex, Victorian art, nationalism and maleness, among many other subjects.
Michael Bracewell is a writer and novelist. His recent publications
have included catalogue essays on the art of Bridget Riley and
Richard Hamilton for The National Gallery, London.

Will Scott: Seaside SheltersEssay by Edwin Heathcote
In Seaside Shelters, Will Scott documents and celebrates the wide variety of these unassuming architectural structures adorning the British seasides. A testament to the heyday of British summer holidays and the country’s notoriously fickle weather, the shelters now often stand deserted. Most were built in the late 19th and early 20th century and cover a wealth of architectural styles, from Victorian to Art Deco. Locations range from iconic seaside resorts to lesser-known gems along the coast, and include Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, the Isle of Wight, Clacton-on-Sea, Portsmouth, Aberystwyth, Swanage and Cromer.
Will Scott is a photographer and filmmaker specialising in
architectural subjects. Ongoing photographic projects include
Seaside Shelters and The Architecture of the Underground. Scott’s
photography has been featured in the Financial Times and on the
BBC. He is based between London and Edinburgh.
Edwin Heathcote is architecture and design critic at the
Financial Times.

Conor Harrington: Watch Your Palace FallEssay by Jane NealInterview by JJ O’Donoghue
This monograph is the first to chart the entire career of Irish artist Conor Harrington, from the nascent graffiti of his teenage years to his status as an internationally recognised artist. Striking photography captures the visual evolution of a unique practice that has united the opulence of the baroque with the stark immediacy of graffiti. Equally celebrated for his large-scale gallery work and vast outdoor pieces, Harrington’s artistic journey takes in Ireland, the UK, the US, Norway, Spain, Poland and Brazil, and is supplemented by fascinating documentary photography alongside the artist’s personal narrative. The book includes a newly commissioned essay by Jane Neal, and an informal Q&A between Harrington and journalist JJ O’Donoghue, alongside an exclusive zine charting the early work of the artist.
Conor Harrington (b. 1980) painted his first wall on the streets of his
hometown in his mid-teens, and after completing a BA in Fine Art
at Limerick School of Art and Design he relocated to London, where
he now lives and works. His provocative, dreamlike work draws a
fascinating line between the street and the canvas.
Jane Neal is an independent author and curator.
JJ O’Donoghue is an Irish journalist living in Japan.

Street Art Fine ArtIngrid Beazley
In this book, curator Ingrid Beazley draws parallels between classic and contemporary styles, showcasing how works from the Dulwich Picture Gallery’s permanent collection by painters such as Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Murillo have influenced work by street artists in the local area, such as Stik, ROA, REKA, RUN, Phlegm, Pablo Delgado, Conor Harrington and Mad C. Featuring works by 21 internationally renowned street artists, the book is illustrated with colour photography throughout.
Ingrid Beazley (1950 – 2017) worked in the education department
of Dulwich Picture Gallery for over 15 years. She won nine national
and international awards for her work including the Third Sector
Excellence ‘Volunteer of the Year’ Award in 2006. In 2010 she was
made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in recognition of her

Street Art Book ArtIngrid Beazley
Following the success of Street Art Fine Art, author Ingrid Beazley commissioned 15 artists to produce a series of unique designs on blank covers of the original book. Some artists subverted the medium as a space to experiment with the conventions of book design, some utilised the uniform shape to create a series of parallel works, while others approached the book as any other blank canvas or wall presented to them on the street. Street Art Book Art catalogues these works in full and serves as a unique document of a diverse and fascinating series of commissions, fusing the art of the street with that of the printed page. The book can be purchased with different covers, each featuring one of the 15 artists’ designs.

Simone Fattal: WatercoloursInterview by Hans Ulrich Obrist
Watercolours presents over 100 works made between 1972 and 2016, combining painting, collage and sculpture, by Paris-based Lebanese artist Simone Fattal. The book is introduced by a conversation between Fattal and Hans Ulrich Obrist in which the artist ruminates on her childhood in Damascus, her publishing company Post-Apollo Press and the recurring themes that continue to inspire her long-standing affinity with the watercolour medium.
Simone Fattal (b. 1942) was born in Damascus and grew up in
Lebanon. She studied philosophy at the Ecole des Lettres, Beirut,
and then at the Sorbonne, Paris. In 1969, she returned to Beirut and
started painting, eventually fleeing in 1980 with the outbreak of the
civil war. Having moved to California, Fattal founded the Post-Apollo
Press, a publishing house dedicated to innovative and experimental
literary work. In 1988, she returned to artistic practice after enrolling
at the Art Institute of San Francisco. Fattal’s oeuvre encompasses
sculpture, ceramics, collage and painting. She lives and works in
Paris with her partner, the artist Etel Adnan.
Hans Ulrich Obrist is Artistic Director of the Serpentine
Galleries, London.
