Hilma af Klint is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. While her paintings were not seen publicly until 1987, her work from the early 20th century pre-dates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian or Malevich. Af Klint sought to express her feelings transmitted to her from nature and the unseen spiritual world. This catalogue focuses primarily on her body of work "The Paintings for the Temple", 1906-15, and numerous paintings from the key series never published before. Exhibition: Serpentine Galleries, London, UK (03.03-15.05.2016).

The Board of Admiralty decided that a new Reserve would be formed and consist of 'Gentlemen interested in yachting and similar pursuits, desirous of being earmarked for training as executive officers in the event of war'.

This biography was researched in the very room where Margery Allingham worked, and was written with the full co-operation of Margery's sister, her secretary and her housekeeper. It was first published in 1991. Since then, however, new material has become available, including a revolutionary collection of letters and the startling truth about her husband's relationship with the writer Nancy Spain.

This publication is the first to focus solely on the photographic work of Welsh sculptor and filmmaker Cerith Wyn Evans (born 1958), revealing a selection of previously unpublished images. Accompanying this is two texts in a separate booklet: a poetic response to the photographs by philosopher Hélène Cixous, and an "abécédaire" cowritten by Wyn Evans and philosopher Alexander García Düttmann.

Jeff Koons' Popeye series, begun in 2002, incorporates some of the artist's signature themes and the surrealistic combination of everyday objects, cartoon imagery, outsized scale, art-historical references and children's toys. The sculptures reproduced here continue Koons' fondness for casting inflatable toys in aluminum―carefully painted to resemble supple plastic―which he juxtaposes here with unaltered everyday objects, such as chairs or garbage cans. The Popeye paintings are complex and layered compositions that combine disparate images both found and created by Koons (including images of the sculptures in the series). The instantly recognizable figures of Popeye and Olive Oyl are central, and recur across several key works within the book. Frederic Tuten, Arthur C. Danto and Dorothea von Hantelmann provide commentary on this fun body of work, which Koons discusses in a conversation with Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
