The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Featuring more than 800 artworks from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, this groundbreaking book - organized by thematic keywords rather than the usual chronological or geographical categories, and drawing upon analytics from The Met's online Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History - offers fresh, unconventional ways of engaging with visual culture. Beyond the wealth of illustration, more than 160 engaging curatorial essays place the works in wider contexts, while a foldout, detachable timeline offers further perspective."

Over a century after his death, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. This monograph gathers all of Klimt’s major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged access to the artist’s archive. With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase” when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold.

Santiago Arau
This project is a photographic chronicle of the Valley of Mexico, also known as Anahuac Valley: the broad region that included the lakes of Chalco, Xochimilco and Texcoco. The book contains around 200 photographs, taken by Santiago Arau between 2015 and 2023, in order to explore the architectural heritage of the Valley of Mexico – its geography and culture – and represent the state of said heritage at the present.

Doctoras, estilistas, yoguis, modelos... Las mujeres retratadas en las páginas de este libro toman el desnudo como una invitación a expresarse íntima y personalmente, libres de estereotipos y tabúes sobre la sexualidad y el cuerpo. En NAKED la vulnerabilidad es el combustible de la creación, un camino donde la actitud y la autoconfianza, convergen en una estética honesta y atrevida.

Tzuruan lleva el desnudo fotográfico más allá de la sensualidad o el erotismo; utiliza la expresión corporal como hilo conductor para resignificar la serenidad, euforia o incluso la melancolía, en imágenes. Es un debut visceral y valiente, con una perspectiva visual llena de originalidad.

Daniel Kramer
Daniel Kramer’s classic Bob Dylan portfolio captures the artist’s transformative “big bang” year of 1964–65. Over the course of a year and a day, Kramer’s extraordinary access to Bob Dylan on tour, in concert, and backstage, allowed for one of the most mesmerizing photographic portfolios of any recording artist and a stunning document of Dylan breaking through to superstardom.

Highlights include the Lincoln Center’s Philharmonic Hall concert with Joan Baez; the Bringing It All Back Home recording sessions; and the now-famous concert at Forest Hills, when Dylan’s controversial transition to electric guitar exemplified his constant, cryptic state of becoming. As much a document of a seminal period of rock ’n’ roll history as of Dylan himself, the pictures also feature such compelling friends and collaborators as Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg, and Albert Grossman.

Harry Benson (Photographer)
In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of London’s Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatles’ trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Benson’s name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles.In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the band—Benson himself has called it the best shot of his career.
