Summary:
This collection features images from Notting Hill Carnival, 1983. A snapshot of sound system culture in London over 40 years ago. These were hard times; racism was rife, work was scarce and woke wasn't even a word. The determination and passion required to express and live by your culture was crucial and dangerous. Without the dogged passion of the people that created the dances, the carnivals and the blues parties, we would not enjoy the culture we have today. We owe the people in these images a debt of gratitude. We're pleased to share them with you.

Summary:
The work of Belgian artist and photographer Geert Goiris straddles a liminal position between landscape and still life. Haunting and dreamlike, the sometimes alien images denote a fundamental tension between man and nature often bordering on the sublime. From seemingly composed scenes of various objects or portraits to architectural and natural landscapes, the images impart a sense of uncanny timing or discerning observation, achieving both qualities of suspended time and unspoken narrative. Included is ‘Myths, Places and Protagonists’, a collection of short texts by Goiris offering personal insight into how a number of the images came to be created or inspired.

Summary:
In February 2024, Tacita Dean undertook a residency in the Cy Twombly Gallery at the Menil Collection in Houston. Designed by architect Renzo Piano in collaboration with Twombly, the Gallery houses a display of Twombly’s work organised by the artist to augment the building’s mood of disorientation and temporal suspension. For Dean, it is a site of pilgrimage and ‘a place to go out of your head’. Dean has loved the work of the American painter and sculptor since writing her art school thesis on him in the late 1980s. She photographed his studio home in Gaeta, Italy, in 2009, made a film with him in 2011 called Edwin Parker, and has written about his work on numerous occasions. During her time at the Menil, she asked permission to spend a night in the Gallery. "Why Cy" is a book of exuberant adoration, full of colour and black-and-white photographs that pay homage to this singular artist. It reflects Dean’s longstanding admiration for Twombly’s work and her close affinity with it, while at the same time taking a new, surprising, and unintended path. The book includes a booklet of notes by Dean developed out of her night with Cy, and coincides with the exhibition ‘Tacita Dean: Blind Folly’ at the Menil Collection (11 October 2024–19 April 2025), which includes a room dedicated to celebrating the connection between Dean and Twombly.

Summary:
The United States Department of Agriculture Pomological Watercolor Collection encompasses 7,497 botanical watercolor paintings of evolving fruit and nut varieties, alongside specimens introduced by USDA plant explorers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Assembled between 1886 and 1942, the collection's remarkable, botanically accurate watercolors were executed by some 21 professional artists (including nine women). Authored largely before the widespread application of photography, the watercolors were intended to aid accurate identification and examination of fruit varietals, for the nation’s fruit growers. Documenting the transformation of American pomology, the science of fruit breeding and production, and the horticultural innovations accountable for contemporary fruit cultivation and consumption, the USDA’s collection offers fascinating anthropological and horticultural insights concerning the fruits we ecstatically devour, and why.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage constitue l'un des deux premiers titres de la collection ''Des oiseaux'' qui célèbre, à travers le regard de différents artistes, l'immense présence des oiseaux dans un monde où ils sont aujourd'hui fragilisés. Pour accompagner cet ensemble de photographies, l'ornithologue Guilhem Lesaffre met en lumière la relation aux saisons qui est un aspect fondamental de la vie des oiseaux. Là où il existe, l'hiver est une contrainte importante avec laquelle les oiseaux doivent composer et qui induit notamment des stratégies de recherche de nourriture et d'économie d'énergie, ou encore le grégarisme. L'auteur associe ici la vie des oiseaux en hiver avec les images de Pentti Sammallahti.

Summary:
How does twenty-first-century Germany deal with the remaining Fascist architecture of the 1930s and 1940s? Between 2001 and 2006, the German photographer Ralf Meyer created a collection of 130 photographs, taken at 32 locations across the country. The photographs were not intended to be mere reproductions of facades; instead, they were meant to investigate how German citizens deal with the results of the overwhelming historical architecture that surrounds them. Each one of the buildings Meyer sought out was constructed for an ideological purpose: can these implicit messages still be detected in the architecture? What is life like in and around these buildings, now that so much has changed?
