In John Varvatos, the legendary designer reveals his perspective on how rock & roll music and style have influenced his own designs and fashion worldwide. Varvatos's personally curated collection of more than 250 images are some of the most provocative ever shot by top rock photographers from the late 1960s to today, from the Rolling Stones to the Kings of Leon. The featured photographers are among the world's finest, including Mick Rock, Bob Gruen, Elliott Landy, Danny Clinch, Lynn Goldsmith, and more. Also included are select images from Varvatos's own advertising campaigns, featuring artists such as Slash, Iggy Pop, Scott Weiland, and Miles Kane. Varvatos's captions and incisive commentary on the artist and his or her look accompany each image. Every chapter also contains numerous quotes from the musicians themselves, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, Jack White, Pete Townshend, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, and Patti Smith. An extraordinary anthology of some of the finest images in rock & roll and the most influential rock looks in fashion and popular culture, this volume will delight music lovers, and fans of music photography, fashion, and fashion history.

Il volume abbina una sintesi magistrale, a tutt'oggi insuperata, dei principali caratteri dell'architettura napoletana dal Quattrocento fino all'arrivo di figure di spicco come Ferdinando Fuga (1699-1 781) e Luigi Vanvitelli (1 700-1773) dedicando molto spazio e attenzione ai dati documentari sui singoli edifici. Un ampio apparato iconografico, costituito da disegni tecnici e fotografie d'autore, restituiscono la ricchezza dell'architettura barocca e rococò a Napoli raccontata attraverso opere sacre e civili e attraverso lo sviluppo delle nuove correnti artistiche del ventesimo secolo.

In addition to his achievements in abstract painting and sculpture, Frank Stella has also made major contributions to the history of the modern print. An exploration of the artist's innovative use of the medium, Frank Stella: Prints reveals the intimate relationships between Stella's prints and his works in other mediums, demonstrating how Stella blasted a hole in the traditional tools and aesthetics of printmaking with works of compelling complexity and beauty.

Frank Stella: Prints registers in chronological sequence more than 300 editioned prints, reproduced in full color, including works in series and portfolios. Related works in other mediums--paintings, metal reliefs, maquettes and sculpture--are also illustrated for comparison. Complete documentation of each print offers a privileged insight into the creative process behind these works of art. An introductory essay, prefaces to each series and comments on individual prints provide background information, analysis and interpretation. Frank Stella: Prints also features an illustrated chronology, a glossary tailored to Stella's practice, a bibliography and an index.

Soon after arriving in New York in the late 1950s, Frank Stella (born 1936) came to prominence with his striped Black Paintings and shaped canvases. His early painting project reduced the medium to its most fundamental elements and introduced a key concept of Minimalism at an early date: "What you see is what you see." But it was not long before Stella, a restlessly experimental worker, abandoned austerity for brighter colors, irregular shapes, rougher textures and gestural brushstrokes.

Il volume è il catalogo della mostra che presenta a Palazzo Reale di Milano Keith Haring e la sua opera. L'artista è presentato a tuttotondo, andando oltre all'idea di retrospettiva e mettendo in luce lo stretto legame tra la sua produzione artistica, in tutti i suoi aspetti, e la storia delle arti che egli ha compreso e collocato al centro del suo lavoro, assimilandola fino a integrarla esplicitamente nei suoi dipinti e costruendo così la parte più significativa della sua ricerca estetica. Il catalogo evidenzia questa stretta relazione, affiancando alle opere di Haring quelle di autori di epoche diverse che sono stati ispirazione per l'artista stesso, o le cui suggestioni sono state riprese nelle sue opere. Il volume segue quindi il percorso espositivo riprendendone le tematiche e approfondendole grazie anche ai saggi che mettono in luce lo stretto legame tra Haring e le tematiche principali della storia dell'arte. Completano il volume una selezione di interviste all'artista e una ricca biografia illustrata che permettono di mettere in luce ancora meglio l'eclettica e straordinaria personalità di Haring.
