Featuring iconic formal portraits alongside little-known pictures from private collections, this captivating book explores how each new development of the medium has been embraced to record royal life. It also considers the art of royal photography through the monarchy’s patronage of such major 20th-century photographers as Cecil Beaton and family members Lord Snowdon and Patrick Lichfield, and such contemporary photographers as Chris Jackson. Members of the Royal Family have always been keen photographers themselves. The Crown in Focus includes pictures from their own albums, and looks, too, at the publication of photographs by the royals, from Queen Alexandra to the Duchess of Cambridge, where the personal view has become the public image. Written by an expert curator from Historic Royal Palaces and published to coincide with a major new exhibition at Kensington Palace, the book is arranged into thematic chapters presenting 200 extraordinary royal images alongside extended captions that reveal the story behind each photograph. • A fascinating account of the British Royal Family’s relationship with photography and how it has been used to shape their public image • Presents 200 photographs from the past two centuries, including iconic formal portraits and rarely seen images from private collections • Accompanies a major new exhibition at Kensington Palace CLAUDIA ACOTT WILLIAMS is a Collections Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, specializing in royal, court and dress history from the 18th century to the present day.

Since 2002 the estate, which occupies an ancient site, has been transformed into a remarkable plein-air museum, and the number of installations – most created in situ, especially for this location – grows every year. In this stunning new book, Robert Ivy and Alistair Hicks explore each artwork and structure in depth. Their insightful commentaries are accompanied by specially commissioned images by the acclaimed architectural photographer Alan Karchmer. Ivy’s introduction outlines the creation of the property by its owner, Patrick McKillen, and thereafter the book takes the form of a walk through the domaine, so that the reader is able to experience Château La Coste as a visitor would, from Tadao Ando’s minimalist concrete gate – an emphatic statement of modernity in the landscape – to Jean-Michel Wilmotte’s repurposed exhibition space, the Old Winestore Gallery. Throughout the pages, the reader is transported to idyllic Provence, to this enthralling, varied collection of art and architecture. • The first in-depth survey of the art and architecture at Château La Coste, a unique destination with site-specific installations • Includes works by such distinguished artists and architects as Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Frank Gehry, Kengo Kuma, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Sean Scully and Richard Serra • With forewords by Tadao Ando, JR and Ai Weiwei, who have all either created projects or exhibited at Château La Coste ROBERT IVY is CEO of the American Institute of Architects.

His rise to prominence as a specifically American modernist was based largely on the visual influences that he encountered in 1912–15 in the vibrant cities of Paris, Berlin and Munich, which he then synthesized through a New England perspective. Solitary by nature, Hartley never lost his wanderlust, and throughout his life found inspiration in many other landscapes and cultures, including in southern France, Italy, Bermuda, New Mexico, Mexico and Canada. Marsden Hartley: Adventurer in the Arts offers a fresh appraisal of this pioneering modernist, whose work continues to be celebrated for its spirituality and experimentation. Rick Kinsel’s introduction provides an overview of the manifold ways in which Hartley’s peripatetic life shaped his artistic vision. Essays by William Low, Emily Schuchardt Navratil and Kinsel explore works and artefacts in the Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection of Bates College Museum of Art in Maine; Hartley’s love of the circus, a recurrent theme that reflected his desire for escape; and the painting Schiff, created in Berlin in 1915 with imagery from both Native American material culture and German folk art. The catalogue section, by Navratil, features over 100 paintings, drawings, photographs and postcards, arranged into six country- or state-themed chapters, with a concluding chapter on Hartley’s possessions, which – because he had no permanent home of his own – held extraordinary significance for him. • An authoritative study of Marsden Hartley’s lifelong passion for travel and its importance for the development of American modernism • With 215 illustrations of Hartley’s works and personal possessions, including full reproductions of a photograph album and a typescript • Accompanies an exhibition opening at Bates College Museum of Art, Maine, in October 2020, then travelling to New York in 2021 RICK KINSEL is President of the Vilcek Foundation, New York, where he oversees the curation, stewardship and exhibition of the foundation’s art collections.

Sessler Foreword by Elizabeth Broun For the serious collector and connoisseur of American art of the 19th and 20th centuries, this illuminating series of essays will be invaluable. Twenty-eight chapters, each written by an acknowledged expert in their field, offer thought-provoking examinations of a wide variety of topics. The book is divided into three sections. Part I, ‘The Historical Overview’, explores subjects ranging from the Hudson River School to the art of the American West, American artists in Europe, American Impressionism, modernism, African American art, and the major artists John Sloan, Everett Shinn, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, John Graham, Willem de Kooning and Guy Pène du Bois. Part II deals with ‘Connoisseurship and the Collector’, and covers such topics as developing an instinct for quality; dealing in fine art; conservation; choosing wisely in making a collection; researching paintings you may be considering acquiring; the role of qualified art advisers; the anatomy of an auction; and legal issues when buying and selling art. Featured in these discussions are prominent collectors who have contributed so greatly to the American art scene over many years.

Each remarkable photograph in this book is a composite of shots taken with a digital camera mounted on a motorized tripod head; this allows Zaki to photograph areas that would otherwise be impossible to capture.

  • Modernist Architecture Shaped Streetscapes and Skylines from Berlin to Chandigarh to Brasília
    Note: Unpublished paper, drawn from Chapter 3 of Thatcher’s Progress (2019). 1 WELFARE STATE MODERNISM AND THE POLITICS OF AESTHETIC CHANGE Guy Ortolano New York University Forged during the interwar decades, following the Second World War modernist architecture shaped streetscapes and skylines from Berlin to Chandigarh to Brasília. Postwar reconstruction, post-colonial development, and nationalist ambitions combined to unleash “a massive scale of experimental solutions that had been proposed in the 1920s and 1930s,” according to Jean-Louis Cohen’s global history of architecture, with the result that “principles that had been primarily in the theoretical sphere before the war quickly found their way into mass production.”1 These innovations included functional zoning, non-traditional materials, and industrialized building methods, but modernism became most associated with such characteristic forms as glass and steel towers, concrete civic spaces, and flat-roofed housing. Even that partial list indicates the diversity that the label “modernism” always struggled to corral, but the style’s coherence snapped into starker relief upon its repudiation. Because even more rapidly than it had triumphed, architecture’s modernist moment swiftly ended. Some scholars date its demise to the fatal explosion of London’s Ronan Point tower in 1968, while others point to the demolition of St. Louis’s Pruitt-Igoe housing complex in 1972.2 Its death throes persisted, through the Museum of Modern Art’s sympathetic revisiting of Beaux-Arts in 1975, and then that same venue’s iconoclastic Transformations in Modern Architecture exhibition of 1979.3 Generally, however, during the 1970s architects and critics were 1 Jean-Louis Cohen, The Future of Architecture.

  • The Alien in Greenwich. Iain Sinclair & the Millennium Dome
    The Alien in Greenwich. Iain Sinclair & the Millennium Dome by Nicoletta Vallorani THE DOME THAT FELL ON EARTH For Iain Sinclair, London is a life project. It tends to take the same ideal shape of the city he tries to tell us about: a provisional landscape (Sinclair 2002: 44), multilevel and dynamically unstable, invaded by memories, projects, plans and virtual imaginations, walked through and re-moulded by the walker, finally fading away at its endlessly redrawn margins. One gets lost, and in doing so, he learns something more about the place he inhabits1: I’m in mid-stride, mid-monologue, when a deranged man (French) grabs me by the sleeve […] There’s something wrong with the landscape. Nothing fits. His compass has gone haywire. ‘Is this London?’ he demands, very politely. Up close, he’s excited rather than mad. Not a runaway. It’s just that he’s been working a route through undifferentiated suburbs for hours, without reward. None of the landmarks – Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrod’s, the Virgin Megastore – that would confirm, or justify, his sense of the metropolis. But his question is a brute. ‘Is this London?’ Not in my book. London is whatever can be reached in a one-hour walk. The rest is fictional. […] ‘Four miles’ I reply. At a venture. ‘London.’ A reckless improvisation. ‘Straight on. Keep going. Find a bridge and cross it.’ I talk as if translating myself into a language primer (Sinclair & Atkins 1999: 38-43). Here, though conjured up by specific landmarks (Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrod’s, the Virgin Megastore) and a few permanent inscriptions (the river and its bridges), the space of London stands out as a fiction made true by the steps of the walker.

Abstract As a massive phenomenon animating the world of cultural politics, kitsch sensibility emerges in Western Christian materialism as a means to easily mediate genuine, if sentimental, expressions of religious devotion. Scorned by others as the manipulation of “bad taste,” reverence through kitsch in contemporary religious art would be better taken to reflect a crisis in modern religious thought. This thesis employs the theological aesthetics of Hans Urs von Balthasar to argue that modern Christian kitsch is the active mistaking of poor theological quality as a source of beauty, which is primarily felt as the sensibility of losing dynamis.

  • (In)Security: the Aesthetics of Planning Urban Defences Against Terrorism
    Special Issue on Urban Insecurities The Visibility of (In)security: The Aesthetics of Planning Urban Defences Against Terrorism JON COAFFEE, PAUL O’HARE & MARIAN HAWKESWORTH* Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, University of Birmingham & Centre for Urban Policy Studies, University of Manchester, UK Urban defences against terrorism have traditionally been based on territorial interventions that sought to seal off and surveil cer- tain public and private spaces considered targets. Lately, though, a much wider range of crowded and public spaces have been viewed as potential targets and thus have been identified as requiring addi- tional security. This has immense implications for the experience of the ‘everyday’ urban landscape. Drawing on contemporary notions that incorporate the study of aesthetics and emotions within critical security and terrorism studies, this article discusses the visual impact of counter-terrorism security measures. It analyses the ‘transmission’ of symbolic messages, as well as the variety of ways in which security might be ‘received’ by various stakeholders. The analysis takes place against the backdrop of concern that obtrusive security measures have the capacity to radically alter public experiences of space and in some cases lead to (intended and unintended) exclusionary practices or a range of negative emotional responses. The article concludes by outlining a ‘spectrum of visible security’ ranging between traditional obtrusive fortified approaches and approaches that embed security features seamlessly or even ‘invisibly’ into the urban fabric. Keywords counter-terrorism • security • visibility • urban planning • ‘War on Terror’ Introduction ECENTLY, THE UK GOVERNMENT IDENTIFIED the range of risks confronting the nation in its first ever National Security Strategy.

    Stephen Bayley Author, design critic & columnist Media Masters – May 17, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Stephen Bayley, design critic, author and journalist. The original design guru, Stephen is the founding director of London’s Design Museum and a trustee of the Royal Fine Arts Commission Trust. He’s written for leading publications including Vanity Fair, the Times and the Observer, and is now a contributing editor at GQ. A best selling author, Stephen’s books have transformed popular perceptions of design. His most recent book, Signs of Life: Why Brands Matter, explores the history of the design industry and what makes a successful brand. Stephen, thank you for joining me. It’s a great pleasure already so far. So, Stephen, many people have described you as Britain’s first and foremost design guru. What exactly does a design guru do? Well, a design guru… I think I probably was the person for whom the term ‘design guru’ was coined about 30-something years ago, and I took it on with what I like to think of as self-deprecating irony. Unfortunately, self-deprecating irony doesn’t always work well in print. You have to call yourself something, and I got fed up with saying, “Well, actually, I’m an academic art historian and I take a keen interest in industrial design in Europe and the United States between 1880 and 1970,” which is I suppose what might have been my academic interests.
