Our new art survey, African Artists: From 1882 to Now, presents an equally dazzling selection of images, produced by over 300 modern and contemporary artists born or based in Africa. The book captures the continent’s booming art scene, which has, in recent years, gained substantial global attention. African Artists was assembled via a panel of experts, and features many figures well known outside the region – such as  El Anatsui, Lubaina Himid, William Kentridge and Julie Mehretu – as well as many less well-known rising stars. All types of media are covered in these pages, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and performance, and each entry is accompanied by concise, written entries, edited in collaboration with experts to ensure engaging, accessible and culturally sensitive texts.

Bird: Exploring the Winged World

Following on from the success of our books, Map, Plant, Universe, Animal and Anatomy, Bird: Exploring the Winged World invites readers on a flight of fancy in a celebration of avian imagery, drawn from the worlds of art, science, history, and culture. Showcasing the remarkable diversity of species, from tiny hummingbirds to towering ostriches, via icebound penguins and tropical macaws, this extraordinary new book reproduces iconic and lesser-known ornithological illustrations and artworks of all styles. Each of the book’s double-page spreads shows a pair of thoughtfully paired juxtapositions, revealing how artists, illustrators, ornithologists, and photographers – from ancient Egypt right up until the present – have captured the spirit, likeness, character, and symbolism of our feathered friends.

Woman Made: Great Women Designers
Woman Made: Great Women Designers

The often overlooked female influence on our designed world is set out in brilliant detail in our book, Woman Made: Great Women Designers. Author Jane Hall is the inaugural recipient of the British Council Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship (2013) and a founding member of Assemble, the London-based, Turner Prize-winning collective. Her previous title Breaking Ground: Architecture by Women, shone a light on the lesser-acknowledged role of female architects; this new title takes on a slightly different brief, offering a timely celebration of more than 200 female product designers from the early twentieth century to the present day.

The luxury edition of Peter Marino: The Architecture of Chanel
The luxury edition of Peter Marino: The Architecture of Chanel

Our new book with the acclaimed US architect Peter Marino, provides an insight into his working relationship with another icon of design. Peter Marino: The Architecture of Chanel tells the story of two legends – Coco Chanel and Marino himself – through a stunning collection of Marino-designed buildings that elevate Chanel’s luxury retail spaces to the realm of fine art. Both a celebration of the wonderful creative intersection between the architecture of Peter Marino and the aesthetic of Chanel, and a testament to the kind of creativity that arises when the worlds of art, fashion and architecture meet, this new title features more than 300 breathtaking images, including original sketches by Marino and architectural plans, as well as many examples of the exquisite flagship stores he created for the fashion house. Signed editions of this book come in a stunning acrylic slipcase which mimic an architectural element from one of Marino’s buildings. To find out more and order your copy go here.

 

Septime, La Cave, Clamato, D'une ile
Septime, La Cave, Clamato, D'une ile

Our new culinary monograph, Septime, La Cave, Clamato, D'une île, will also attract Francophiles, though perhaps those who have a taste for French cuisine minus the ceremony and grandeur of Haute cuisine. This much-anticipated debut book celebrates ten years of chef Bertrand Grébaut and partner Théophile Pourriat’s incredible culinary successes. Its highly inspiring recipes demonstrate how Grébaut and Pourriat have moved the hierarchy and pomp of French gastronomy to introduce an air of simplicity and modernity to their cooking. In so doing, the pair have gained a legion of admirers - not only for their much-praised Parisian restaurant Septime - but for their work in all four of their sites featured in the book. To discover much more about these seminal establishments and to order a signed copy go here.

 

Slippurinn
Slippurinn

For a very different, though no less rarefied, take on national culture and the culinary arts, consider Slippurinn. The book and restaurant, established by chef Gísli Matt, takes its name from the old shipyard in Iceland’s Westman Islands, which this culinary destination now occupies. In this most incredible, volcanic environment, where plants grow on mountains solidified by lava flows, Matt created a menu that both respects the local and traditional, and pushes boundaries of contemporary cuisine. This, his first book, takes the reader right to the heart of a fascinating culinary world and island life. To find out more and order your signed copy, go here.

 

The Kitchen Studio
The Kitchen Studio

And finally, for a fine-art take on the culinary arts, why not broaden your cooking repertoire with 100 recipes created and illustrated by a stellar array of international contemporary artists? That’s what our new book, The Kitchen Studio is all about. For the first time, Phaidon has invited more than 70 artists each to share and illustrate a recipe. The resulting book is an exciting range of contributions spanning all manner of meals and drinks, both savoury and sweet, from around the globe, brought to life with a wealth of sketches, photographs, collages, paintings, and personal snaps. There are inclusions from established names such as Jimmie Durham, Olafur Eliasson, Ghada Amer and Carsten Höller, as well as newer art-world names including Nicolas Party. The acclaimed Italian chef and art lover Massimo Bottura provides an introduction, in which he celebrates the way in which creativity doesn’t stop at an artist’s studio, but extends well into the kitchen.
