    The first authoritative monograph on the life and work of the celebrated Danish-American designer Jens Quistgaard - an unsung hero of Danish Modern and Mid-century Modern design Jens Quistgaard (1919-2008), considered one of the founders of Scandinavian Modern style, spent 30 years as chief designer at the American company Dansk Designs, resulting in more than 4,000 products. His design philosophy - that utilitarian, everyday items should function harmoniously - influenced his approach to everything from spoons and pans to crockery and pepper mills, and is as relevant today as it was half a century ago. Quistgaard's work is represented at major museums in Europe and the USA, including Design Museum Denmark, MoMA, New York, and the British Museum, London, with many of his designs still in production to this day. With never-before-seen sketches, archival photography, case studies, ephemera, and an illustrated inventory of his designs, this book delves deep into Quistgaard's life and work to reveal his critical contribution to design history.

    A visual and cultural history of hip hop, charting its meteoric rise from underground trailblazer to global tastemaker To tell the story of contemporary American culture is to tell the story of hip hop. From its humble, underground origins, hip hop transcended the confines of rap music and spread its influence across a broad spectrum of American life - fashion, film, art, sports, politics, language - to become a cultural movement of profound influence. Rapper's Deluxe is a critical contribution to America's cultural canon, shining a light on hip hop's ability to redefine and influence culture, through: photographs; fine art; advertisements; book, magazine, and album covers; film stills; and more. Organized chronologically from the 1970s to the present, image-rich and dynamic layouts show the people, places, events, objects, outfits, and inspirations that redefined the world as we know it - from fur-coated fans lining up for a Muhammad Ali fight at Madison Square Garden to a legendary party in the "Boogie Down" Bronx, through the hoods of South Los Angeles and the trap houses of Atlanta to the extravagant red carpet looks of the Met Gala. Drawing on a broad range of curated examples, Dr. Todd Boyd re-examines hip hop's legacy and how the genre remixes 'high' and 'low' culture, past and present, to come up with a style that is uniquely its own. Filled with original insights and clever wordplay, Rapper's Deluxe is a tale of transformation,  following hip hop's arduous, but always triumphant, journey as it rose up to dominate the game. |A visual and cultural history of hip hop, charting its meteoric rise from underground trailblazer to global tastemaker| Dr. Todd Boyd is Price Chair for the Study of Race and Popular Culture and Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at USC.

I was 15 when I read The Story of Art and like millions since, I felt I had been given a map of a great country, and with it the confidence to explore further without fear of being overwhelmed."- Neil MacGregor, former Director of the National Gallery, London, 1995 "Almost as well known as the Mona Lisa, Sir ErnstGombrich's The Story of Art unites learning and pleasure."- Pierre Rosenberg, Président-Directeur, Musée du Louvre, Paris "More people... have been introduced to the world of fine art, in the last 45 years, though Ernst Gombrich's The Story of Art than through any other single book."- Christopher Frayling, Professor of Cultural History, Royal College of Art, London "The country's bestselling book on art, never out of print, still in demand (and not just by students) and one of the few 'gift books' that actually gets read. The work is not so simplistic as the title implies, but it is this very title that rendered the book enormously attractive in 1950 to a new sort of book buyer: the self-educator. This field was set to grow, publishers eagerly wooing punters into buying the one big book on every impossibly massive but key subject. But with Gombrich, art was all sewn up."- The Times " The Story of Art has just about everything you need to follow the course of art from cave painting to David Hockney. I am surprised it's not yet been placed in hotels on the bedside table along with Gideon's Bible since Gombrich is as authoritative as the voice of God. The book has always been a pleasure to read and handle, the colour plates, now with many new additions, are excellent and the text is clear and straightforward, devoid of both pedantry and academic tedium."- The Birmingham Post "As a humane, uncomplicated but unpatronising account of art from prehistoric cave daubs to twentieth-century splurges, Gombrich's Story of Art is just what its title promises: more of a story than a work of reference, yet that as well."- Business Weekly "A wise and wide-ranging introduction to art history that will last and last."- The List "Lucid and endlessly informative."- The Good Book Guide "His populist approach comes from his childhood in Vienna, where art was for everyone, not just for stuffed shirts."- The Mail on Sunday "Thinking about building your dream library and brightening your coffee table with eye-candy and conversation starters? Look no further than Phaidon books."- Big Life Magazine "Gombrich's The Story of Art was the very first book I bought on Art...

This luxury print makes for a brilliant coffee table addition and an eye-opening read." - AskMen.com | Ernst Gombrich was one of the greatest and least conventional art historians of his age, achieving fame and distinction in three separate spheres: as a scholar, as a popularizer of art, and as a pioneer of the application of the psychology of perception to the study of art. His best-known book,  The Story of Art  - first published 50 years ago and now in its sixteenth edition - is one of the most influential books ever written about art. His books further include  The Sense of Order  (1979) and  The Preference for the Primitive  (2002), as well as a total of 11 volumes of collected essays and reviews.

Complemented by over 700 photographs, sketches, and architectural plans, this text ranks highly in the Mies van der Rohe corpus.' -  Publishers Weekly, Starred Review 'There is no lack of writing on Mies van der Rohe... However, Detlef Mertin's new book ought to make the list of the handful of exceptional, definitive volumes... Stunning photography, impeccable historical research and an obvious ear for philosophy comprise each of the six sections of its 528 pages, creating a book that is an extraordinary, beautiful intellectual journey and a rethinking of the function of the political in architecture.' -  Identity 'A monumental monograph on the legendary architect sheds new light on the godfather of modernism.' -  Metropolis 'What marks out Mertins's study is its unremitting focus on the ideas that shaped Mies's designs, and on how this son of an Aachen stonemason came to create a form of architecture that spoke a universal language and gave a defining three-dimensional form to a self-consciously modern era.' -  Telegraph 'A new generation is discovering that Mies's avocation of craft and quality are key to the architecture of simplicity. Stuffed full of photographs, plans, and archival material, [Mies] is the new benchmark.' -  Wallpaper 'Mertins' hefty and lavishly illustrated volume is ambitiously comprehensive... It challenges us to question all previous assumptions we may have entertained about the architect... One of the greatest virtues of Mertins' Mies, one which distinguishes this work from the many monographic studies of the architect, is a deeply ingrained historiographic consciousness... The author's thorough knowledge [is not used] towards recycling the same arguments, but as the foundational material to contribute something new... Mertins' book asks us to reconsider the very genre of the architectural monograph.' -  Architectural Review | The American architectural theorist  Detlef Mertins  made lasting contributions to the theory and history of modernism in architecture, art, philosophy, and urbanism. He taught widely, including professorships at the universities of Pennsylvania, Toronto, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, and Rice. During his career, he published numerous books and articles to great acclaim.
