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.

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.

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 The collection also includes a previously unpublished interview focused on Richter’s much-lauded window for Cologne Cathedral.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. 18 April 2019 978-1-9121222-4-0 Hans Ulrich Obrist is a world-renowned curator and Artistic Director of £19.95 / $29.95 / €24.95 the Serpentine Galleries 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- June 2019 ductory essay by Ann Gallagher, Director of Collections at Tate, 978-1-9121220-6-6 places this recent body of work in context, exploring the balance £75.00 / $100.00 / €85.00 Hirst achieves between the elements of colour and space in each 328 × 265 mm (13 × 10½ in) picture, the process of their making, and the belief that they signal Hardback, 418 pp in the endless possibilities of painting. 328 colour Damien Hirst (b. 1965) is internationally recognised as one of the most important living artists.
