Known for her life-size sculptures made entirely of beads, Liza Lou has had audiences and critics spellbound since her debut exhibition fifteen years ago. Liza Lou's sculptures, room-size installations, and performances have been at the center of the art world's bewilderment and awe since the unveiling of her first masterpiece, Kitchen, in 1996. A true-to-size replica of a kitchen in the midst of a museum gallery would hardly cause a stir, were it not for one important fact: the work is made entirely of beads. Eschewing the well-traveled path in art school to embrace the traditional mediums of painting or sculpture, Lou embarked on forging a body of work unlike any that had been seen before in the art world. In the nearly fifteen years since her auspicious debut, Lou's work has developed from realistic room-size tableaux taken from everyday life—such as Backyard and Trailer, among others—to works no less monumental in construction and more sober in their themes, such as Security Fence and Cell. In this comprehensive volume devoted to her work, illustrated with two hundred photographs, writers, critics, and scholars explore her work in depth.

Splash provides the inspiration for anyone designing, or dreaming about, their own pool.

This celebration of the style, design, and joy that pools bring to us brims with over 200 glamorous photographs. It is organized by swimming pool design--from glimmering infinity pools with a view of the ocean to dramatic cascading waterfall pools and those in lush garden settings. Ranging from beautifully landscaped backyards to dramatic beaches and tropical paradise surroundings, the stunning pool locales show creative examples of pools as architecture and organic forms. In the mix are seductive pools owned by such celebrities as Cher and Dianne Keaton and leading designers Bunny Williams and Carolyne Roehm, as well as masterpieces by famed architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, and Luis Barragán. Splash concludes with a section on poolside elements, from tiled steps, patterned surfaces, and Jacuzzis to pool houses with outdoor showers, landscaping, furnishings, and much more. Every example evokes the enduring and irresistible appeal of the swimming pool.

Julian Schnabel is regarded as one of the most important artists of our time. Working in many media, he first became known for his paintings on collaged shards of smashed plates. This volume includes an account of his output and describes the personality of a metamorphic artist and his bold, somewhat confrontational style.

Qual'è il modo migliore per avvicinare lo sport della vela? La risposta si trova in questo piccolo manuale filosofico scritto da un giornalista, noto anche come appassionato di vela di lungo corso. Un libro frutto dell'esperienza e che diventa una lezione di vita. Perché andare in barca non è solo un modo per tuffarsi nella natura, ma soprattutto per conoscere se stessi, i propri orizzonti, i propri limiti. L'andare per mare sottende una filosofia del viaggio tutta particolare: è scomodo, faticoso, può essere rischioso. Ma restituisce il senso dell'avventura in modo antico e sempre moderno, dove il tempo scorre con la stessa lentezza che in passato.
