THEATRE PICASSO

eds ROSALIE DOUBAL, NATALIA SIDLINA with WU TSANG, ENRIQUE FUENTEBLANCA

Marking the centenary of one of Pablo Picasso’s most famous paintings, The Three Dancers, this exciting publication brings to life the artist's performative persona and his interest in dance, music and theatre, alongside stunning reproductions of Picasso works.

Filmmaker and artist Wu Tsang, whose practice is concerned with the act of performing, hidden histories and marginalised figures, collaborates here with the author and researcher Enrique Fuenteblanca to tell the story of Picasso ‘the performer’. Along with other contributors, they cast light on his interest in dance, music and theatre, but also his highly performative persona as an artist, cultivating his own image and his contribution to the modernist cult of the individual artistic genius.

They also explore his constant gaze towards popular, or ‘folk’ performance, such as the circus, the corrida, flamenco dancers, the ‘othered’ in society, and groups who use performance as an emancipatory tool.

This beautifully designed book addresses head-on some of the complexities of Picasso’s life and work from a highly unusual and compelling perspective.

LEE MILLER

eds HILARY FLOE, SASKIA FLOWER

A comprehensive look at the work of the groundbreaking photographer, foregrounding her importance as a surrealist artist.

"A surrealist and a realist, Miller focused her lens on her own century, the twentieth century, at its most euphorically creative and brutally destructive."

— Deborah Levy

Lee Miller (1907–77) assumed many roles over the course of her remarkable life – from avant-gardist to commercial photographer to war correspondent and photojournalist –and to each of these roles she brought her unique artistic sensibility. Though she was intimately connected with many of the leading figures associated with surrealism, including Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst, and participated in major exhibitions of her time, Miller was also at times marginalised in the art world as a woman and as a photographer in an era when photography’s status as an art form was not widely accepted. Her genre-bending work incorporated portraiture, fashion, still life, landscape, reportage, and advertising: fearless, poetic and surreal, it reveals a world of uncanny beauty and sensual ambiguity –often with a humorous edge.

Drawing on new primary research, Lee Miller features essays exploring every aspect of Miller’s career, from her early years in Paris, New York and Cairo to her wartime journalism and late portraits. Additionally, the British novelist, playwright, and poet Deborah Levy offers a personal reflection on Miller and her art. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of images, the book provides a comprehensive exploration of Lee Miller, revealing her as one of the most urgent creative voices of the twentieth century. A comprehensive look at the work of the groundbreaking photographer, foregrounding her importance as a surrealist artist.

NIGERIAN MODERNISM

ART AND INDEPENDENCE

ed . OSEI BONSU

Set against the backdrop of cultural and artistic rebellion, this is a fascinating exploration of the artists who revolutionised modern art in Nigeria.

Featuring over 200 works by more than 50 artists, this richly illustrated book explores the multi-directional development of modern art in Nigeria from the period of British indirect rule to the years of national independence and postindependence, considering Nigerian art in relation to themes and ideas of Christian and Islamic art, traditional African sculpture, indigenous knowledge systems and Nigerian poetry and literature. Through their inventive and dynamic approach to art making, Nigerian artists challenged common assumptions and colonial narratives of African art within a global history of modernism.

Highlighting the ways in which artists, writers and intellectuals negotiated the legacies of traditional Nigerian culture, European colonialism, and international networks of artistic modernity, Nigerian Modernism presents an important chapter of African art-historical life and reveals the enduring legacies of diverse traditions and artistic languages.

Osei Bonsu is Curator of International Art at Tate Modern, where he is responsible for organising exhibitions, developing the museum’s collection and broadening the representation of artists from Africa and the African diaspora. In 2020, he was named as one of Apollo Magazine’s ‘40 under 40’ leading African voices.

TURNER AND CONSTABLE

RIVALS AND ORIGINALS

ed . AMY CONCANNON

Published to coincide with the first major exhibition at Tate Britain, marking the 250th anniversary of the birth of two of Britain’s most beloved artists, Turner and Constable will give a unique insight into the work of these painters in tandem.

Drawing on the very best of their work, the book reveals the ways in which the painters offered two competing and highly original visions of landscape painting, both of which remain powerfully resonant today. Each challenged the artistic norms of their time while also responding to the transformative social, political, economic and environmental developments of the early nineteenth century. Defying convention, they proved that landscape painting could be a vehicle for profound reflections on life as they saw it, paving the way for landscape art to become a vital arena for artistic expression.

Despite all their differences, the ways in which these painters presented a radical challenge to artistic norms led them to be described by their contemporaries in similar ways. They were simultaneously celebrated as the two great ‘originals’ of contemporary British art but also attacked as eccentric outsiders whose work was increasingly puzzling and illegible.

Turner and Constable will offer a chance to directly compare highlights from the full span of the two artists’ careers. This fresh and ambitious presentation of their work will inspire many to re-connect with these beloved artists anew and equally inspire those who are less familiar with their work to appreciate its vitality, soul and enduring power.

GATHERING GROUND

ART AND THE ECOLOGICAL CRISIS

eds . MARLEEN BOSCHEN, HELEN O'MALLEY, ODESSA WARREN

Explore the power of art to inspire change in today’s ecological crisis.

Gathering Ground explores threatened ecologies. It reflects on what cultivating relationships can look like when they are built on principles of equity. It brings together artistic practices that defend and embrace interconnectedness in our current ecological crisis and highlights the connection between environmental and social justice, inviting us to reimagine our relationships with the natural world and each other.

Looking at the ground on which we gather, the artists and artworks in this publication ask: How can we live with and make sense of destruction and loss? How can we develop connections grounded in reciprocity?

TRACEY EMIN

A SECOND LIFE

eds . MARIA BALSHAW, ALVIN

LI

Step into the tender, confessional world of Tracey Emin.

Dame Tracey Emin is one of the most important contemporary artists of her generation. She was catapulted into the public eye in the 1990s with iconic works like her Turner Prize nominated My Bed, which sparked fierce critical and public debate, challenging what art could be. Emin’s disregard for any separation of the personal and the public, along with her commitment to unapologetic self-expression, came to define a historic moment in British culture and global art history.

Broadening Emin’s story, this monograph celebrates her raw and confessional approach as she poses profound questions on love, trauma, and autobiography. It also demonstrates her lifelong commitment to painting, showing her recent work as the culmination of the ways she has channelled her life into her art.

Published alongside a major retrospective tracing 40 years of her groundbreaking practice, the publication reproduces Emin's career-defining sensations alongside works never exhibited before. Through painting, video, textiles, neons, writing, sculpture, and installation, Emin continues to challenge boundaries, using the female body as a powerful tool to explore passion, pain, and healing.

HURVIN ANDERSON

ed DOMINIQUE HEYSE-MOORE

Experience the intensely colourful work of British artist Hurvin Anderson.

Hurvin Anderson’s first major solo show brings together more than 60 of his vibrant paintings, spanning the artist’s entire career, from his days as a student to his most recent works.

Through colour-drenched landscapes and interiors, Anderson meanders back and forth across the Atlantic, between the UK and the Caribbean. The youngest of eight children, he was the first to be born in the UK after his family left Jamaica for Birmingham in the 1960s. As a result, Anderson’s work reflects on his experiences of belonging and diaspora.

Thanks to his profoundly atmospheric use of composition to explore the markers of identity, this exhibition confirms Anderson’s standing as one of the most important contemporary painters of a generation.

Dominique Heyse-Moore is Senior Curator, Contemporary British Art at Tate Britain.

A LITTLE FEMINIST HISTORY OF ART EXPANDED EDITION

C h ARLOtte MULL i N s

A bestselling introduction to the feminist art movement, newly expanded with 16 new artist entries that bring one of the most influential and enduring artistic movements of the twentieth century up to date.

Emerging in the late 1960s as women artists struggled to 'de-gender' their work to compete in a male-dominated arena, the feminist art movement has played a leading role in the art world over the last five decades. Using the 'female gaze' to articulate socially relevant issues after an era of aesthetic 'formalism', women artists, working in a variety of media, have called to attention ideas around gender, identity and form, criticising the cultural expectations and stereotyping of women, women's struggle for equality, and the treatment of the female body as a commodity.

This book is a pithy introduction to some of the most important artworks born out of this movement. Sixty four outstanding works – from the late 1960s to the present – reflect women's lives and experience, as well as the changing position of women artists, and reveal the impact of feminist ideals and politics on visual culture. Exploring themes such as gender inequality, sexuality, domestic life, personal experiences and the female body, A Little Feminist History of Art is a celebration of one of the most ambitious, influential and enduring artistic movements to emerge from the twentieth century.

Charlotte Mullins is an art critic, writer and broadcaster. She has written widely on women artists including Rachel Whiteread, Cecily Brown, Rachel Lumsden, Jenny Saville, Cathy de Monchaux, Sue Arrowsmith, Susanne Kühn, Susie Hamilton and Paula Rego.

Among the beautiful and striking illuminated books etched and printed by William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell stands out. Written in 1790 at the beginning of the French Revolution, it represents Blake’s first attempt to create a new system of art, poetry and philosophy, declaring himself on the side of the devils in a world that was being turned upside down. Although not as well-known as his Songs of Innocence and of Experience, it has strong echoes throughout pop culture, and is arguably more influential on later generations of writers, thinkers and even musicians, from Aldous Huxley drawing on it as a key text to opening the doors of perception, which in turn gave The Doors their name, through to figures as diverse as Salman Rushdie, Benjamin Britten, Olga Tokarczuk and Keith Haring.

The work, which opens with a poem, and takes the form of prose thereafter, is both a humorous satire on religion and morality, and expresses Blake's essential wisdom and philosophy. Produced as a beautiful facsimile, with a new, illuminating introduction.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BRITISH SOUTH ASIAN ART

AL i NA K h AKOO

An insightful exploration celebrating the diverse and dynamic cultural impact of South Asian artists and filmmakers in twentieth-century Britain.

The presence of the South Asian diaspora in Britain reaches back to at least the seventeenth century, but the most significant period of migration came after the Second World War. At this time many were invited to the UK to fill labour shortages or became refugees after the expulsion of Africans of Asian descent from Uganda.

A Brief History of British South Asian Art showcases the diverse creative practices of over sixty artists of South Asian descent living and working in Britain from the 1950s to the early 2000s. During the decolonisation period, many artists who had achieved acclaim in South Asia came to London to expand their artistic horizons and to contribute to shaping contemporary culture in the city. In 1980s Britain, many politicised artists of South Asian extraction found solidarity with other artistic communities – such as the BLK Art Group – who shared their experiences of postcolonial displacement and marginalisation. Although artists of South Asian heritage in Britain made vital contributions to art history, much of their work is undiscovered, and the nuances of their narratives largely unexplored.

This book, through the works of artists including Sunil Gupta, Samena Rana, Chila Kumari Singh Burman and F.N. Souza, explores the intersections of race, migration, class, gender, sexuality and disability in the context of British South Asian art and culture.

FRANK BOWLING ARTISTS SERIES

d OM i N i QU e he Y se -MOOR e

An engaging introduction to the life and work of Frank Bowling, an accomplished master of his medium whose visionary and ambitious approach to light, colour and geometry continually pushes at the properties and possibilities of paint.

Frank Bowling (b.1934) is one of the foremost artists of his generation. His paintings – monumental in scale and scope, dynamic and flooded with luminous colour – are testament to his boundless creativity. His prolific body of work, from his large-scale map and poured paintings to his sculpture and collage, is demonstrative of not only his fluid approach to medium, but also his deft control of colour and light.

This book is an indispensable and poignant introduction to the life and work of Bowling. Charting his formative experiences in Guyana, England and the United States, it paints a portrait of an artist whose practice is shaped by his personal and cultural history, as well as by the seismic social and political changes of the twentieth century to which he was witness. In a career spanning over six decades, his experimental approach to light and texture has continually pushed at the possibilities of paint, developing a distinct visual language that is deeply immersed in the wider cultural debates of our time and cementing him as one of the most influential artists today.

A gripping introduction to the dramatic life and work of feminist icon Frida Kahlo, whose revolutionary artworks born out of personal affliction reveal her intimate passions and unremitting determination as an artist, one with a legacy that has endured into the twenty-first century.

Frida Kahlo (1907–54) is widely recognised as one of the defining artists of the twentieth century. Her uncompromising vision, self-fashioning and fearless portrayal of the self have all established her as a beloved global icon.

This introduction opens an intimate window into Kahlo’s world, exploring how Mexican traditions, revolutionary ideals and animist cosmovisions shaped her life and work. It traces her journey from Coyoacán, through her travels to the United States and Paris, and back to an adventurous life in Mexico, filled with artistic exchanges, fiestas and corridos, but also chronic illness and suffering. Delving into the many layers of an artist who defied categorisation, this book looks at Kahlo’s constant reimagining of the self as a disabled, mestiza woman, and invites the reader to engage with her legacy in new ways.

G e N e V ie V e BARtON

An indispensable introduction to the life and work of Georgia O’Keeffe, whose distinctive vision and pioneering approach to painting nature offer a unique way of looking at the world and cement her reputation as the ‘mother of American modernism'.

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) is one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. She had a unique way of looking at the world, paring back the beauty of nature to capture its essence with fluid and skilful brushstrokes that revealed her expert handling of line, colour and composition.

This book is a compelling introduction to the life and work of an extraordinary artist. Beginning with her early study of traditional painting techniques, it charts the significant moment when she chose to break with the established conventions and forge her own path by experimenting with abstraction. Touching on her many travels, including to the rugged deserts of New Mexico that immediately became a powerful source of inspiration for her work, this book provides a rich overview of the radical abstractions, dynamic landscapes and vibrant botanical studies that cemented O'Keeffe as an innovator in the development of American modernism.

TRACEY EMIN ARTISTS SERIES

hettie JU dA h

A fascinating introduction to the life and work of Tracey Emin, whose frank and deeply personal work has challenged stereotypes about female experience and sexuality and, along with her uncompromising style, marks her as one of our most celebrated artists, and one of the most acclaimed of her generation.

Tracey Emin (b.1963) is one of the most talked about artists in Britain today and arguably also one of the most controversial. Her diaristic works are explicit, unapologetic and raw, offering viewers unflinching explorations of how it is to live in a body and to experience passion, pain, and healing.

This introduction offers a candid look into the life and work of Emin. It explores the events and relationships that influenced her art, including her formative years in Margate, her artist peers, and the expressionist painters with whom she has identified across the generations. Bringing together a wide spectrum of her work, this book reveals an artist who confronts the subject of mortality –however wondrous, difficult or shameful – and ultimately celebrates the joy of living.

Hettie Judah is a writer and curator. She is a regular contributor to The Guardian, Frieze, The Times Literary Supplement, and Apollo magazine. Her recent shows include the Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood which opened at the Arnolfini in Bristol in March 2024, and Gate of Horns: Myths of Resistance, Symbols of Defiance which opened at Carl Freedman Gallery in Margate in February 2025.

TREES IN ART

RAC he L tAYLOR

A thought-provoking visual exploration of the arboreal world.

‘The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.’ – William Blake

Full of life and beauty, trees are one of the most enduring and beloved subjects of art and have provided a rich source of inspiration for some of the most important artists of the recent past. From cave art and historical landscape painting to land art and contemporary environmental interventions, artists have used trees to communicate ideas that extend beyond the natural world and reflect on broader issues facing humanity. Indeed, in our advanced moment of climate crisis, the tree has taken on potent significance as a symbol for the natural environment. Trees have also provided the material for a range of artistic practices: wood for sculptures, bark and paper as a support for drawings and paintings.

Showcasing a wide range of works from around the globe and across time, this gift book will explore the tree as seen through the eyes of modern and contemporary artists. It will address the ways twentieth and twenty-first century artists have depicted trees and their cultural significance and explore how these imaginings have reflected changing attitudes towards ecology and environmentalism.

Rachel Taylor is an independent curator and writer. She was previously a curator at Tate Modern, where she worked on exhibitions as well as supporting the development and presentation of Tate’s international collection of modern and contemporary art. As Head of Exhibitions at Victoria Miro she worked with an extensive range of artists and artists’ estates on exhibition and publication projects.
