SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE BREAD AND ROSES AWARD FOR RADICAL PUBLISHING 'Irreverent, provocative and funny' Dazed'This book might change the way you look at art, or change the way you feel it' Daisy Hildyard'A full-throated defence of the inherent value of making, experiencing and talking about art' Frieze'Let me stay there, let me paint. Let me go to bed when the sun comes up. I don't want life to sharpen me.'Why make art? Faced with a capitalist system that has turned art into artwork and creative expression into cut-throat competition, why do so many artists try anyway?In this eye-opening journey through the bizarre world of contemporary art, criticism duo The White Pube tell the story of art like never before. Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar through childhood obsessions, art school lessons and her professional debut. In surreal encounters with other artists, Quest learns profound truths about money and power, and must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. Blending imaginative storytelling with dialogue from anonymized interviews with real people in the art world who have all had to wrestle with the same decisions – including a Turner Prize winner or two, a few ghosts, a Venice Biennale fraudster and a communist messiah – Poor Artists is a powerful testimony to the emotional, existential and financial experience of artists today.

The Italian painter Giorgio Morandi is recounted as a friend and artist in this memoir by Luigi Magnani, an art historian and devoted collector of Morandi’s work



One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi painted serial and permutational arrangements of everyday objects that elevated the quotidian into the sublime. In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani.

My Morandi is the first full-length English translation of Magnani’s memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi’s paintings. In My Morandi, Magnani considers the artist’s aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as recounts their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi’s work at Magnani’s villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Magnani’s personal collection of Morandi’s work was on view at David Zwirner, New York, in 2025. Originally published in 1982 in Italian, this memoir is accompanied by a new preface by Alice Ensabella and includes an introduction by Stefano Roffi, director of the Magnani Rocca Foundation.

The first multidisciplinary analysis of one of the most impactful and popular contemporary artworks of recent years.

As one of the key figures of Brazil’s Neo-Concrete movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Lygia Pape developed a specific understanding of geometric abstraction that resulted in a radical new conception of concrete-constructivist art, challenging an overly rigid rationalism by moving toward more subjective, multi-sensorial modes of expression. Marking Pape’s first solo exhibition in Germany, this richly illustrated book presents the artist’s unusual creative power in all its breadth, drawing on a body of documents that is being published for the first time. Against the backdrop of the tension between Brazil’s vibrant avant-garde and the growing political repression through the military dictatorship (1964–1985), Pape’s work reflects ethical and socio-political issues and harnesses experimental explorations of not just metaphorical geometric but social space to create poetic manifestations of subtle resistance. Emphasizing the primacy of the sensorial experience of the viewers, Pape went as far as to declare them to be the actual creators of her works.

A superbly illustrated history of the arts of the Americas before the European invasions, this book offers a timely reevaluation of the visual cultures of the ancient Western Hemisphere. From Alaska to Argentina, this rich survey of diverse peoples and landscapes presents a new understanding of some of the world’s great visual traditions. Organized chronologically from the 2nd millennium BC to the colonial period, it examines societies and artists across modern national borders. Allowing readers to discover civilizations in traditionally understudied regions, the book surveys art across all media: landscape, built environment, monumental sculpture and painting, bodily adornment and portable objects for life and death. The book emphasizes recent findings from leading scholars about the communities of artists that thrived under the patronage of powerful families in ancient American city-states and imperial capitals. It draws comparisons and contrasts to global traditions, underscoring the importance of the ancient American corpus. A rich body of illustrations from museum collections and archaeological sites takes readers across the continents and through the centuries. The result is an important consideration of the art, peoples and cultures of the ancient Americas.

Riding the Rollercoaster tells the story of how artists and bands carve out long and successful careers in the music business, despite the numerous pitfalls and pratfalls.

Who lasts in the music industry — and why?

The music business is defined by volatility. For every artist who sustains a career, many more fall away, despite talent, acclaim, or early success. Riding the Rollercoaster examines why some musicians endure while others fade away.

Drawing on in-depth interviews with more than seventy artists and industry insiders, Keith Jopling provides a clear-eyed, behind-the-scenes account of how careers in music are built, tested, and sustained. These are artists who have been dropped by labels, lost bandmates, experienced both commercial failure and success, broken up and re-formed — and still found ways to continue.

Looking beyond individual stories, Riding the Rollercoaster situates artistic longevity within the wider structures of the modern music industry, from the attention economy to the growing concentration of power among platforms and corporations. Why do so few musicians retain control over long-term careers in a global industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars?

An insider’s guide to survival in modern music, Rollercoaster offers a grounded, accessible account of what it really takes to last.
