As Taylor releases her 11th album, THE TORTURED POET’S DEPARTMENT, catch up on the full story of Taylor Swift’s stratospheric rise to fame; all any dedicated Swifty needs to know about the pop superstar who’s taking over the world
A small-town girl with incredible talent – and the strength and determination to realise her dream – Taylor Swift has gone from America’s sweetheart to global megastar. But how did she get there? And how has she coped with the realities of fame?
Fully updated in fascinating detail, Taylor Swift: The Whole Story explores Taylor’s musical evolution and her status as a fearless businesswoman operating on her own terms. From her early beginnings in Pennsylvania to the challenges she faced on the road to success, and from her relationships with Harry Styles, Joe Alwyn and Travis Kelce to her record-breaking Eras tour, this is the unmissable account of Taylor’s journey to world domination.
There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way.
Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate memoir from a beloved actor, the story of a remarkable life and thoroughly accidental career. Journey to the top in Hollywood, learn of his mistakes and his well-earned success. Selleck clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares never-told stories. His rambunctious California childhood. His clueless arrival as a good-looking college jock in Hollywood (from the Dating Game to the Fox New Talent Program to co-starring with Mae West). What it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties and remain so for decades to come, an actor whose ease on screen connected with audiences worldwide, while redefining the clichés of manhood.
In You Never Know, Selleck recounts his personal friendships with a vivid army of A-listers, everyone from Frank Sinatra to Carol Burnett to Sam Elliott, paying special tribute to his mentor James Garner of The Rockford Files, who believed, like Selleck, that TV protagonists are far more interesting when they have rough edges. He tips his hat to the American western and the scruffy band of actors, directors and other ruffians who helped define that classic genre, where Selleck has repeatedly found a happy home. Magnum fans will be fascinated to learn how Selleck put his career on the line to make Thomas Magnum a more imperfect hero and explains why he walked away from a show that could easily have gone on for years longer.
Hollywood is never easy, even for stars who make it look that way. Selleck explains how he’s struggled to balance his personal and professional lives, frequently adjusting his career to protect his family’s privacy and normalcy. His journey offers a truly fresh perspective on a changing industry and a changing world. Beneath all the charm, talent, and self-deprecating humor, this memoir reveals an American icon who reached remarkable heights through authenticity.

A new printing of Last Gasp’s publication Struggle: The Art of Szukalski, with a foreword by George and Leonardo DiCaprio, presents an overview of Szukalski’s best sculpture and drawings.
Szukalski (1893-1987) was one of the great sculptors of the 20th Century.
Szukalski was a Polish-born sculptor, writer, graphic artist, and heretic. Highly regarded in both the US and Poland between the World Wars, he lapsed into obscurity, living and working in “America’s Cultural Siberia” (Southern California) until comic art collector Glenn Bray rediscovered him in 1973.
Struggle is the first critical view of Szukalski’s work published since 1923 — a 200-page overview of his art.
A new Netflix documentary produced by Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing greater interest and attention to one of the world’s greatest and least-known artists.
Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski, tells the story of Stanislav Szukalski, an unparalleled artistic genius who lapsed into obscurity after WWII until comic art collector Glenn Bray rediscovered him in 1973.
Sceny wycięte z polskich filmów w okresie PRL-u obrosły legendą czegoś bezpowrotnie utraconego. Taśmy z takimi scenami niszczono, a jedyną po nich pozostałością były osobiste opowieści reżyserów, fragmenty scenopisów i dokumenty kolaudacyjne. Dopiero kilkanaście lat temu okazało się, że istnieje jednak pewien wizualny ślad, pozwalający pełniej wyobrazić sobie te utracone sekwencje: to niewykorzystane wcześniej fotosy filmowe, które fotosiści wykonywali na planie. Z wielu negatywów fotograficznych nie robiono nigdy odbitek, spoczywały przez lata w pudłach i dopiero proces skanowania tych materiałów klatka po klatce pozwolił teraz odkryć, że są tam również fotosy ilustrujące wycięte sceny. Autor Proszę to wyciąć analizuje najważniejsze polskie filmy pierwszego ćwierćwiecza PRL-u. Za punkt wyjścia bierze właśnie historię wyciętych z nich scen i próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie: jakimi filmami byłyby Pokolenie i Niewinni czarodzieje Andrzeja Wajdy, Nikt nie woła Kazimierza Kutza, Zezowate szczęście Andrzeja Munka czy Rejs Marka Piwowskiego, gdyby nie ingerencje cenzorskie? Jakie treści dobudowywały do tych filmów sceny, których usunięcie zostało autorom odgórnie narzucone? Zestawienie archiwalnych dokumentów produkcyjnych i cenzorskich z odkrytymi fotosami oraz wspomnieniami twórców pozwala najpełniej dziś odtworzyć nie tylko historię konkretnych scen wyciętych z filmów, ale także opisać cały skomplikowany proces ingerowania w dzieło filmowe na różnych etapach jego produkcji.

Art Nouveau, elegant ornamentation, and sensual women. Hardly any other artist proved a greater virtuoso in this style than Alphonse Mucha. Discover not only the most beautiful of the Czech artist’s posters, but also many of lesser-known works including oil paintings, furniture, interior design, and murals.
Between 1890 and the beginning of the First World War, a new international style developed in architecture and design. Following the example of the English Arts and Crafts movement, the representatives of Art Nouveau turned against the eclectic excesses of historicism and opposed them with organic forms, plant ornamentation, and functional constructions. This volume shows the highlights of Art Nouveau in Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, Italy, and Switzerland.
With Art Nouveau there developed a new, international style under various names in the architecture and handicrafts from the 1880s onwards that sought to replace the forms of historicism with plant ornamentation and functional construction. A comprehensive reform of the arts that produced rich floral ornaments in Paris and Brussels, and became an expression of national identity in Barcelona. This volume illuminates the origins of this current and its manifestations in France, Belgium, and Spain.
This richly illustrated monograph delves into the innovative output of one of the world's most prolific international design and architecture practitioners, Tokyo-based Shigeru Ban. Canvassing an enormous compilation of works, this title is a significant contribution to IMAGES' stable of works showcasing renowned architects from around the globe. This book features an array of innovative projects, from commercial and residential innovation strategies to humanitarian works, such as emergency shelters made from paper and modular shelters for earthquake victims.
Shigeru Ban's visionary residential design philosophies encompass timber hybrid structures, including a building constructed from cardboard tubes; the tallest hybrid timber structure in the world for a residential tower in Vancouver; as well as the new home designed for the Aspen Art Museum, which features woven wooden cladding. His innovation extends to the industrial design of an architect's scale pen used for drawing. This book also helps to relay Shigeru Ban's contemporary discourse on architectural culture, and how it is moving in new directions.
This title is a must-have for any serious aficionado of modern architecture, innovative thinking, and design.

Written by Director of Tate Maria Balshaw, this book is a powerful, timely and thought-provoking exploration of the transformative role of the museum – and of art – in society today.
As the world adapts to the consequences of a global pandemic, museums continue to experience unprecedented disruption and change. At the same time, there is a growing debate and dissent over what museums are for, who they speak to and what the histories, objects and ideas they are tasked with holding reflect – all taking place within a public sphere that feels increasingly dynamic and volatile.
’Public institutions do not sit “outside” society, they are the barometer of time and place. How museums and galleries open themselves up to change and engage dissenting voices is not obvious or easy, but as a recent visitor said, “Art is an invitation to a conversation” – so perhaps our role might be to unlock that conversation.’ – Maria Balshaw Taking a wide-ranging and thought-provoking look at the roles and responsibilities of some of our most well-known and best-loved public institutions, Gathering of Strangers: Why Museums Matter explores the critical challenges and opportunities for the museum at this point in the twenty-first century. Moving from the historical origins of the gallery to important current debates taking place around art and public engagement, the climate emergency, race equality and decolonisation, and the value of the arts in education, this book sets out the role of art and artists in imagining and shaping our collective future.
It is also a love letter to museums, from a sector leader who is at the forefront of the cultural conversation today.
‘Ambitious, generous and packed with ideas, this is a thrilling, thought-provoking invitation into the museum of the future, where both art and people are made welcome.’ – Olivia Laing Maria Balshaw is Director of Tate. Previously, she was Director of the Whitworth, University of Manchester; Director of Manchester City Galleries; and Director of Culture for Manchester City Council. She is also a member of the Women Leaders in Museums Network and a member of the Bizot group of leading global museums.
Created to accompany one of the most exciting exhibitions of 2020, this stunning paperback catalogue presents the full breadth of Muholi’s photographic and activist practice.
Richly illustrated, it includes images from the key series Muholi has produced over the past twenty years, as well as never-before-published and recent works. The exhibition book also features six newly commissioned essays exploring their work, as well as a full glossary and chronology.
Born in South Africa, Zanele Muholi came to prominence in the early 2000s with photographs that sought to envision black lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex lives beyond deviance or victimhood. Muholi’s work challenges hetero-patriarchal ideologies and representations, presenting the participants in their photographs as confident and beautiful individuals bravely existing in the face of prejudice, intolerance and, frequently, violence. While Muholi’s intimate photographs of others launched their international career, their intense self-portraits solidified it.

From Tudor times to the First World War, this paperback exhibition book accompanying Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920 charts these women’s journeys to becoming professional artists.
From Levina Teerlinc, a miniaturist at the court of Elizabeth I, to Laura Knight, the first woman to be elected a member of the Royal Academy after a gap of more than 150 years, women have been a constant presence in the art world, conducting commercially successful careers and exhibiting in public exhibitions.
Against society’s expectations of wives, mothers and daughters, limited to the private domestic sphere, they dared to pursue public careers, and to paint history pieces, battle scenes and the nude, usually regarded as the preserve of men. An examination of figures such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth, Lady Butler and many more reveals careers very far from the stereotypical view of women as amateur watercolourists, pursuing art as a ladylike accomplishment. Instead, in this exhibition catalogue. they are revealed as professionals who navigated the art world despite being excluded from academy training and art institution membership, and who were determined to succeed despite the obstacles they faced.
In English Female Artists, 1876, Ellen Creathorne Clayton wrote that women artists had ‘left only but faintly impressed footprints on the sands of time’. By looking at what women painted, how their work was received by exhibition critics, what women said themselves about their status in the art world, including their links to campaigns for women’s rights, Women Artists in Britain shines a spotlight on their true legacy and place in art history.

A fascinating introduction to the life and work of John Constable, this book highlights key aspects of his innovative practice and the ways in which he brought a new vivacity to the observation of nature in nineteenth century art.
John Constable (1776–1837) was one of the greatest landscape painters of all time. Inspired by nature and the ever-changing British weather, he dedicated his career to capturing the beauty of the natural world, often painting in the open air and, rather radically, making expressive sketches in oil on the spot. His idyllic, nostalgic depictions of nineteenth-century rural life are iconic: attentive to detail, spontaneous in gesture and bold in their use of colour, they are imbued with a sense of drama and narrative, conveying feelings of happiness and sorrow, love and friendship. But they also have a clarity of expression borne of familiarity: preferring to paint the places he knew and loved, Constable’s landscapes demonstrate an emotional connection, and a true sense of place.
Charting Constable’s remarkable trajectory from his childhood and adolescence in rural Suffolk to his death in London at the age of sixty, this book is the perfect introduction to the life and work of the acclaimed artist. Bringing together a selection of paintings, drawings, sketchbooks and prints from across his career, the introduction book spotlights the influences that shaped his artistic vision, revealing a masterful use of light and colour, and his immense contribution to the landscape tradition.

This book is an engaging introduction to the life and work of John Singer Sargent, the most accomplished portrait painter of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century.
John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) is one of the most famous painters of his time. The masterful portraits for which he is best known capture not only a remarkable likeness to his sitters, but a sense of identity and personality, an energy and intimacy. Conveyed with deft and fluid brushwork, these portraits are testament to Sargent’s exceptional attention to detail and adept characterisation. But Sargent was much more than a portraitist, as revealed by the beautifully evocative scenes of the places that he visited and the people that he encountered on his extensive travels.
This fascinating book explores the life and work of Sargent, contextualising his practice within the times he lived. Beginning with his cosmopolitan childhood in Europe and studio training in Paris, it charts his rise to fame and establishment as a leading portraitist internationally, up until his final works during the outbreak of the First World War. Touching on his travels, his friendships and the personal connections that influenced his practice, this a true celebration of an extraordinary artist and his paintings, which continue to captivate today.
