For decades, outdoor brands have put daring and aspirational images on the covers of their magazines and catalogues, pushing the limits of photography and graphic design. This collection of outdoors covers, drawn from the Outdoor Recreation Archive at Utah State University and spanning one hundred years, features seventy iconic outfits including Columbia, The North Face and Snow Peak. Together, they make up a stunning visual sequence that traverses generations, sports, styles and continents, and holds something for creatives of all persuasions.
The images, from grainy climbing photographs to homely illustrations of happy campers and cinematic landscapes, are organized artfully by medium – from nature (outdoors photography) to processed (treated photography), remixed (collage) to lines (illustration), object (product photography) to words (typography). Personal reflections by more than twenty industry leaders, designers, creatives and sportspeople, including photographer Chris Burkard, designer Jeff Staple and climber Conrad Anker, are interspersed throughout. Four 8-page inserts, printed on a different paper stock, reveal a selection of fascinating pages from inside the catalogues, while a concluding ‘Making Of’ section gives a behind-the-scenes look inside the archive.
With an unfurling sequence of varied and impactful covers from across several decades, The Outdoor Archive is both inspiration and a resource for graphic designers and creative studios, and a covetable item in its own right.

How did a urinal become art? And a can of tomato soup, a tent, a pickled shark... How do you get at one of the world’s most powerful governments by smashing an old vase? How did what seemed like a prank at the New York Armory Show of 1917 explode to become today's global multi-billion dollar art world? This graphic novel answers these questions by following the lives of seminal contemporary artists and the stories behind their groundbreaking works.
Against a backdrop of armed conflict and rapid societal change, this book tells the story of contemporary art from Marcel Duchamp’s repurposed urinal to Maurizio Cattelan’s taped banana. Literal bombs explode and conventions go up in flames as a series of art objects shock and electrify society: canned excrement, a pickled shark, a stuffed hare, human blood.
The story moves from Paris to New York and London, and then captures the geographical spread of a rapidly globalizing cultural scene by jumping to events in Tokyo, Belgrade, Rio de Janeiro, Lagos and Beijing, and culminating in Miami – and in the ether, everywhere and nowhere, on the internet.
Chapters follow a series of chain reactions as artists meet or inspire each other across the generations and decades. Over a period of 100 years everything changes – and yet the cry of ‘It’s not art!’ never goes away. No matter how long people have had to get used to it, contemporary art continues to upset expectations and disrupt conventions – and inspire anew.
Published in association with the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, to coincide with their major 2025 David Hockney exhibition, this vivid book charts the life and work of one of Britain’s most popular and significant artists. Expertly written by preeminent curatorial experts, art historians, and critics including Sir Norman Rosenthal, Sir Simon Schama, and Fiona Maddocks, this definitive survey combines a curated selection of archival photographs and eye-catching artworks presented in a lavish, large-format book to offer a visually engaging and detailed journey through Hockney’s remarkable life and career.
Following an introduction that offers an overview of Hockney’s life and work, a series of chapters explore in detail the important moments and signature styles and preoccupations of the artist’s varied career, from his early life in Bradford and London through his years in California to his later life in Bridlington, Yorkshire, and Normandy. Several of the chapters are arranged thematically according to artistic subject matter and medium, ranging from still lifes and portraits to his much-loved landscapes and stunning designs for opera. A final chapter explores Hockney’s engagement with new technology, particularly the iPad, demonstrating the endless inventiveness, curiosity, and creativity that have characterized Hockney’s work over the decades.
Compiled with the full involvement of David Hockney and his studio, and with a large-scale landscape format with a selection of gatefolds that enables the reader to revel in the art, this is the most important book on Hockney’s entire career to have been published, and will appeal to the many fans of the artist’s work across the globe.
Strap yourself in and take a helter-skelter ride through more than a decade’s worth of high drama, hedonism, high tech and musical genius as told by the insiders at the heart of Record Plant studios, one of the most prolific recording factories of all time, founded in 1968 by charismatic audio engineer Gary Kellgren and ace businessman Chris Stone.
In the 1970s, Record Plant was everywhere there was music. In 1976 alone, the studios produced three No. 1 albums: Stevie Wonder’s Songs In The Key Of Life, The Eagles’ Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. Based on the memoirs and archives of Chris Stone, as well as interviews with over 100 studio employees, music producers and recording artists, Buzz Me In tells the incredible story of Record Plant’s evolution and the making of more than a decade’s worth of Gold and Platinum albums, tape by tape.
Illustrated throughout with behind-the-scenes images, archive photos of artists recording and performing live and album cover art, this revelatory and extensively researched book explores and celebrates the way the studios were designed to cater to every rock’n’roller’s fancy. From the living-room-style studio in New York, where Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland was recorded and where John Lennon later encamped, to the VIP clubhouse studio in Los Angeles where Stevie Wonder produced his classic hits, and the destination recording venue in Sausalito where Sly Stone, Bob Marley and Fleetwood Mac holed up, each studio location had its own inherent character – but all showcased the founders’ proven formula of combining state-of-the-art audio, fantasy bedrooms and group Jacuzzis with sex, drugs and celebrity jams.
Was Record Plant ‘the real Hotel California’?
