Résumé:
Ever since her triumphant debut in Chaucer’s ''Canterbury Tales'', the Wife of Bath, arguably the first ordinary and recognisably real woman in English literature, has obsessed readers—from Shakespeare to James Joyce, Voltaire to Pasolini, Dryden to Zadie Smith. Few literary characters have led such colourful lives or matched her influence or capacity for reinvention in poetry, drama, fiction, and film. In ''The Wife of Bath'', Marion Turner tells the fascinating story of where Chaucer’s favourite character came from, how she related to real medieval women, and where her many travels have taken her since the fourteenth century, from Falstaff and Molly Bloom to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.

Résumé:
Kwai Shing West Estate is a residential complex in Hong Kong that is home to 18,000 people. It attracted the attention of filmmaker and photographer Pascal Greco because of its architecture and its atypical hillside construction. This book presents Greco’s ten-year investigation into the complex, during which he captured his strange fascination through both photography and film: walls, staircases, cables, pipes, neon lights, and not a soul to be seen. And yet, discreetly, life pulsates. Together with musician Lea Bertucci he produced an immersive audio-visual work, a tribute to the sometimes strange architecture of public housing but also to the loneliness experienced in such complexes.

Résumé:
For decades, husband-and-wife photography duo James and Karla Murray have been on a mission to document and preserve in film the various small shops of New York City—many of which are quickly disappearing—and a culture of authenticity that is hanging by just a thread. Most of the storefronts are featured in generous single-page images with captions listing location, neighborhood, and year the photo was taken. Filled with diversity and character, these images honor destinations lost to rising rents and changing demographics. Together they comprise both a guidebook and a love letter to a city that never sleeps, and is always evolving.

Résumé:
This volume, published in conjunction with the artist’s first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, provides new insights into the interdisciplinary and lesser-known aspects of Robert Frank’s expansive career. The exhibition explores the six decades that followed his landmark photobook "The Americans," a period in which Frank maintained an extraordinarily multifaceted practice characterized by perpetual experimentation across mediums and artistic and personal dialogues with other artists and with his communities. Coinciding with the centennial of his birth, this catalog takes its name from the artist’s poignant 1980 film, "Life Dances On," in which Frank reflects on the individuals who have shaped his outlook.

Résumé:
The French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle is best known for her Nanas—joyful and brightly colored monumental sculptures of goddess-like female figures. But her work, which was grounded in her visionary beliefs about social experiments and personal freedom, ranged much more widely—from painting, film, architecture, and books to theater sets, clothing, and jewelry. "Niki de Saint Phalle: The Sketchbooks" presents a beautiful collection of previously unpublished drawings, notes, and other preparatory work from Saint Phalle’s private sketchbooks. Culled from a vast archive of never-before-seen materials, these drawings shed new light on Saint Phalle’s fascinating artistic evolution, style, and interior life.

Résumé:
Georges Perec was a French novelist, film-maker, documentalist, and essayist, and also a member of the Oulipo group. Perec’s ‘Species of Space’ is a constellation of texts published in 1974 that investigates different spaces. Its primary focus is the order and system in which the texts are organised. This inventory is the theme of this book, which consists of essay contributions by nine artists, including Mohamed Camara and Kristina Jansson. Initiated by artists Cecilia Darle and Kristina Bength, the project also manifests in an exhibition. Their point of departure is Perec’s writings, in which limitations and rules become a working method that hints at an autobiographical latency.

Résumé:
A small town in the vast desert of West Texas, Marfa attracts visitors from around the world to its art foundations and galleries, film and music festivals, and design and architecture symposiums. While newcomers sometimes see it as "another Santa Fe," long-time residents often take a bemused, even disapproving attitude toward the changes that Marfa has undergone since artist Donald Judd came to town in the 1970s and began creating spaces for his own and other artists' work. They remember when ranching and the military formed the basis of the town's economy, even as they acknowledge that tourist dollars are now essential to Marfa's sustainability.

Consisting of striking, atmospheric photographs by Atkins, including many new additions, and with a new introduction by Sinclair, the book focuses on London’s eastern and southeastern quadrants.
