Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age

By: Marcel Wanders

Rijks: Masters of the Golden Age pays homage to the 17th-century Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum’s prestigious Gallery of Honour. The book is lavishly produced in genuine leather, with beautiful hand-written calligraphy, and the finest printing technique and paper. The book brings the reader eye-to-eye with over 60 iconic paintings such as Rembrandt’s Night Watch and Vermeer’s Milkmaid. Providing an added dimension, leading contemporary critical thinkers explain how their perception of the world has been influenced by these paintings.

Dior by Mats Gustafson

By: Mats Gustafson

In this exquisite book, the watercolors and collages of Mats Gustafson replace the camera to capture the spirit and beauty of Dior.   While illustration was used to promote fashion in the first half of the twentieth century, photography completely replaced it in the 1970s. So, when Dior approached Swedish illustrator Mats Gustafson in 2012 to portray its collections, it was a return to the elegance of fashion’s earliest mode of expression.  Infused with a sophisticated charm, Gustafson’s vibrant watercolors and collages thoroughly capture haute couture masterpieces, recent contemporary ready-to-wear creations, and celebrated accessories.

Robert Adam: Country House Design, Decoration, and the Art of Elegance

By: Jeremy Musson

The definitive book on the most influential English country house architect and designer.
This beautifully produced book celebrates the work of Robert Adam, the great eighteenth-century architect who influenced generations by stamping his distinctive neoclassical aesthetic vision on the English country house interior. Lavish new photography provides a deeply visual exploration of Adam’s most important surviving country houses, such as Syon House and Harewood House, as well as Adam’s castle-style Mellerstain and town houses, such as Home House.

Artist Project:  What Artists See When They Look at Art

By: The Metropolitan Museum of Art

120 of the world’s most influential contemporary artists discuss the art that inspires them in this lavishly packaged and designed book.  Artists have long been stimulated and motivated by the work of those who came before them — sometimes, centuries before them. Interviews with 120 international contemporary artists discussing works from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection that spark their imagination shed new light on art-making, museums, and the creative process. Images of the artworks appear alongside images of the contemporary artists’ work, allowing readers to discover a rich web of visual connections that spans cultures and millennia.

Out East:  Houses and Gardens of the Hamptons

By: Jennifer Ash Rudick

Out East captures the enduring appeal of shingled houses, modernist oceanfront designs, artists’ compounds, and Montauk surf shacks. Jennifer Ash Rudick leads an insider’s tour of more than 25 houses, cottages, and pool houses. And Tria Giovan captures extraordinary gardens, verandas, lakeside pavilions, farmhouses, and converted barns.  In the picturesque seaside, elite communities are calling upon world-class designers to fine-tune their visions, giving rise to a fresh design vernacular: homes inspired by the natural beauty of a unique locale.
