Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This monograph examines the work of David Mach, who rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his large-scale sculpture projects, notably "Polaris", the submarine made entirely from tyres, exhibited at the South Bank Centre in London, and his vast magazine sculptures such as "Fuel For the Fire" at the Riverside Studios in London. His sculpture is characterized by his use of multiple components such as magazines, newspapers, matches and bottles, suggesting today's obsession with consumerism and the resulting levels of manufactured surplus and waste. He has exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world, and also presents work in a variety of more open locations such as swimming baths, shopping malls, parks and gardens. Along with the striking visual quality of his sculptures this openness and accessibility has ensured Mach's popular status as well as his critical acclaim.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The last forty years have seen an outburst of theories and manifestoes which explore the possibilities of architecture: its language, evolution and social relevance. With the many crises in architecture and the obvious urban and ecological problems., Modernism has been criticised, questioned, overthrown, extended, subverted and revivified not a peaceful time for architectural thought and production. The result has been a cascade of new theories, justifications and recipes for building. This anthology, edited by the well-known historian and critic Charles Jencks, and the urbanist and theorist Karl Kropf, collects the main texts which define these changes. Essential for the student and practitioner alike, it presents over 120 of the key arguments of today's major architectural philosophers and gurus. These show that the Modern architecture of the early part of this century has mutated into three main traditions: a critical and ecological Post-Modernism; a High-Tech and sculptural Late Modernism; and a deconstructive, subversive New Modernism. Here are the seminal texts of James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Colin Rowe, Christopher Alexander, Frank Gehry, Reyner Banham, Bernard Tschumi, Rem Koolhaas and many others who have changed the discourse of architecture. Here also are the anti-Modern texts of the traditionalists Leon Krier, Demetri Porphyrios, Quinlan Terry, Prince Charles and others. Many of these texts are concise, edited varsions of influential books. Highly informative and richly illustrated with over forty drawings and photographs, this volume is a vital learning and teaching tool for all those interested in the philosophies of contemporary architecture.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) is universally recognized as one of the principle founders of 20th-century Abstract art. This important break with the past was the result of a long reflection on the Western, and particularly the Dutch, pictorial tradition, and of years of artistic asceticism marked by some singular paintings. After his experiments with Cubism, Mondrian founded Neo-Plasticism, formulating the principles that were to establish a highly personal style: a flat construction with right-angles, which enabled him to develop an oeuvre of surprising richness and diversity. This monograph looks at the career and output of this artist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This Art and Design Profile draws on the 1992 retrospective exhibition "Patrick Caulfield Painting 1963-1992" at London's Serpentine Gallery. With his highly-stylized renditions of familiar pub, restaurant and domestic scenes, Caulfield dignifies the ordinary, prosaic and unheroic side of urban life; normal banal views, or plain household objects are transformed into something magical by rich, lush colours and unexpected juxtapositions. Caulfield trained at the Royal College of Art in the 1960s and his work with its flat graphic treatment of images, sense of humour and interest in mass taste and kitsch shares fundamental features with Pop Art. He is perhaps unique in being equally admired by representational and abstract artists, by traditionalists and conceptualists. The authoritative essay by Marco Livingstone, full colour reproductions over over 80 of his best known works, together with biographical details and a comprehensive bibliography make this volume an invaluable record of his work. Also included in this volume are special features on Zoe Zenghelis's architecturally-inspired paintings with an essay by Marina Vaizey, and on the Italian painter William Stock.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. With this invaluable handbook. Michael Lancaster seeks to clarify the place and meaning of colour in our surroundings. The complex subject matter is explored thoroughly - from the biological nature of colour and colour perception to the contemporary concerns of colour planning and colour control - to provide a solid base for the author's prime concern: the use of colour in the context of the environment. Taking examples from a wide range of townscapes and landscapes. Michael Lancaster identifies the confusion that has arisen from the recent colour revolution, and the increasing possibilities for visual pollution. Such negative examples contrast sharply with the detailed analyses of town planning in which harmony of colour and context is sought. The wealth and diversity of illustrations throughout vividly bring to life the issues raised by the author, providing readers with a highly accessible source of reference from which to reevaluate their understanding and experience of colour.
