Luigi Pericle. A Rediscovery
This important book presents the work of the fascinating and singular artist Luigi Pericle (1916-2001). Pericle was a painter, illustrator and scholar, as well as a leading figure in the story of art in the second half of the twentieth century. The artist initially found fame as an illustrator, gaining widespread renown in the 1950s as the inventor of the character Max the Marmot. But his intense, enigmatic and multi-layered paintings increasingly drew the attention of the art world, with works that reflect his personal, metaphysical take on post-war abstraction exhibited at numerous venues in Britain during the 1960s. Pericle then abruptly retreated from the art system, and for the rest of his life continued to paint, write and to study esoteric philosophy in the secluded house he shared with his wife Orsolina on Monte Verit in the Ticino region of Switzerland. The artist's work was dramatically rediscovered in 2016 when the contents of his former residence were revealed. The process of restoring, cataloguing and researching his vast oeuvre is ongoing, and is overseen by Ascona's Archivio Luigi Pericle, with which the exhibition has been organised. This beautifully illustrated publication, which accompanies an exhibition at the Estorick Collection, London, includes a full catalogue of the works, as well as essays by noted scholars.

N'oublie jamais
A l'origine, il n'y a qu'un simple cliché pris lors du mythique match de boxe qui opposa Cassius Clay à Sony Liston en 1964. Quarante-deux ans plus tard, alors que cette photographie est exposée dans une galerie d'art de Miami, elle déclenche une série d'assassinats. Et lorsqu'une ultime copie du cliché tombe dans les mains de Thorn, il devient à son tour la proie des tueurs. Car cette simple photographie en noir et blanc en dit long sur le rôle de la CIA et de ses acolytes dans le Miami des années 60, l'époque ou un certain Castro narguait l'Amérique depuis la baie des Cochons... Pour protéger ses proches et sauver sa vie, Thorn se lance dans une course contre la montre pour identifier les cinq personnes de la photo et découvrir le secret qui les relie... Biographie: James W. Hall est l'un des grands auteurs de polar américain. Il a obtenu le prestigieux Edgar Award (distinction obtenue avant lui par Connelly, Crais et Lehanne notamment). Ses romans sont des best-sellers dans une douzaine de pays.Sur commande en 2-4 joursCOMMANDER28,90 € -

'A Perfect Eye and Steady Hand'. Goldsmithing in Tudor & Stuart London
This handsomely illustrated book is published to mark the opening of the Goldsmiths' Gallery at the new London Museum in Smithfield. Showcasing the Cheapside Hoard alongside historic treasures from the Goldsmiths' Company's collection, it takes readers on a global journey in the wake of plate, jewels and gemstones - and the people who made, traded and treasured them. Gold and silver are precious - prized as a form of portable capital, essential for the mints and coinage, used to express power and status. Yet great skill was needed in the buying, the fashioning and the selling of either metal. As fashions changed, much early modern plate and jewellery was melted down when sentiment gave way to market value. This makes the survival of the Goldsmiths' Company's holdings exceptional - and the Cheapside Hoard, unearthed by workmen in 1912 after lying undisturbed for nearly 300 years - nothing short of extraordinary. Comprising over 500 pieces - made of emeralds, diamonds and sapphires sourced from across the world, worked into mesmerising brooches, buttons, necklaces and rings - the Cheapside Hoard is the greatest single collection of Elizabethan and Stuart jewellery in the world. The book places the Hoard in its historical and global context, celebrating it alongside highlights from the Goldsmiths' Company's collection. It offers four main chapters on Elizabethan and early Stuart London, the goldsmiths' trade, the Hoard itself, and the city's global networks. Interwoven thematic sections explore craftsmanship, personal stories, trade practices, taste and fashion - bringingtogether jewels and plate to reveal a rich tapestry of skill, style and exchange.PréventePRÉCOMMANDER35,00 € -
