A beautiful and faithfully reproduced slipcase edition of the best-selling, revolutionary publication from one of history's most visionary artists.
Widely recognised as a masterpiece of English literature, Songs of Innocence and of Experience also occupies a key position in the history of Western art. This unique edition, newly reissued in a slipcase, sees William Blake communicating with his readers as he intended - reproducing his own illumination and lettering from the finest existing example of the original work. In this way, readers can experience the mystery and beauty of Blake's poems as he first created them, discovering for themselves the intricate web of symbol and meaning that connects word and image.
Each poem is accompanied by a literal transcription, and the volume is introduced by the renowned historian and critic, Richard Holmes. This beautiful edition of Songs of Innocence and of Experience will be essential for those familiar with Blake's work, but also offers an ideal way into his world for those encountering him for the first time.
La Tate édite en facsimilé un des carnets d'étude de Turner, qu'il réalisait en extérieur et utilisait parfois comme étude pour des peintures d'atelier. Celui-ci est uniquement consacré à ses aquarelles représentant des ciels nuageux de la campagne anglaise, vers Hamstead Heath et dans le Kent.
La Tate détient la plus importante collection au monde de carnets de Turner, qui, pour le peintre, représentaient la partie intime et privée de son travail. Elle en réédite régulièrement en facsimilé. Sur les quelques 300 carnets de croquis retrouvés dans sa maison après son décès, et désormais conservés à la Clore Gallery, une partie de la Tate Britain, ce petit volume reproduit ici représente une étape importante du tavail de Turner en tant que graveur, alors âgé de 21 ans à peine.

Des enquêtes approfondies sur des thèmes majeurs et une grande variété d'essais offrent une fenêtre intime et éclairante sur un groupe artistique remarquable : leurs voyages et leurs techniques, leurs intérêts et sources d'inspiration, ainsi que les relations qui les unissaient.

Elle explore ainsi toutes les facettes de sa création : ses tissages réputés, mais également ses travaux graphiques, ses objets et ses créations de bijoux.
A comprehensive monograph on the boundary-pushing career of artist, performer, model, TV personality, club promoter, fashion designer and musician, Leigh Bowery.
Leigh Bowery used performance to explore questions around the politics of the body, and its use as both material and a site of transformation. He was also fascinated by the subversive potential of costume as sculpture.
Published to accompany a major exhibition, Leigh Bowery features over two hundred images by and of the artist - spanning an eclectic and dynamic career which included fashion photography, club polaroids, film stills, paintings, postcards, and ephemera. In addition to Bowery's own works, the book also includes paintings of the artist by Lucian Freud, and works made with and about Bowery by Stephen Willats and Trojan Barnes, among others. A visual inventory of all of Bowery's costumes, held by the artist's estate, has been newly photographed - published here for the first time.

David Hockney has been delighting and challenging audiences for sixty years and celebrated artworks from across his career are at the centre of Tate's outstanding collection. This book features over a hundred of these paintings, prints, drawings and photographs, helping the reader to understand the artist's changing sources of inspiration and, crucially, where his work is going. Beginning in the 1950s when he made his first steps to becoming a modern artist, the publication charts Hockney's ground-breaking images of the early 1960s through to his famous depictions of the Los Angeles cityscape. It also looks at Hockney's much-loved portraits from the 1970s and his discovery of a new way of dealing with time, space and perspective he called 'Moving Focus', as well as more recent landscapes and digital images that demonstrate his lifelong preoccupation with pictorial space and how we look at and experience the world around us.
As well as providing a unique overview of Hockney's prolific range and activity, this book features new texts and responses to his work by established and emerging voices from the worlds of art, design, literature and performance. Breathing new life into the nexus of Tate's collection, it speaks to the artist's refusal to conform during periods of uncertainty and polarization as he traversed the boundaries of class, sexuality and high art and how his work still surprises, unsettles and addresses younger generations of viewers.

Behind the Red Moon d'El Anatsui est une installation sculpturale monumentale réalisée pour la Turbine Hall de la Tate Modern dans le cadre de la Hunday Commission composée de milliers de bouchons et de fragments de bouteilles en métal. L'artiste les a ensuite rassemblés dans différentes compositions donnant vie à des grands panneaux qui forment d'immenses champs abstraits de couleurs, de formes et de lignes. Dans ces étonnantes tentures, le passé et le présent de l'Afrique et de l'Europe se fondent en effet dans des formes sculpturales qui incarnent l'idée d'Anatsui de la « forme non fixe » et font partie de son approche hautement expérimentale de la sculpture. L'oeuvre s'appuie sur l'intérêt d'Anatsui pour les histoires de rencontres et de migrations de biens et de personnes au cours de la traite transatlantique des esclaves et explore les forces élémentaires mêlées aux histoires humaines de pouvoir, d'oppression, de dispersion et de survie.
Tate Britain is the home of British art from 1500 to the present day. This luxury guide to the highlights of the collection provides an essential introduction to the extraordinary development of British art over the centuries, telling the story of the collection and presenting a selection of the stunning works on display.
British art is also notable for genres unique to itself: group portraits, known as 'conversation pieces', focusing on social relations between friends, family and allies; themes from British literature, particularly Shakespeare, Milton and Tennyson (rather than classical mythology); and topical subjects in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries reflecting the wars with France and the scientific innovations of the Industrial Revolution. Hogarth ushered in an art of social engagement, as did the artists associated with the Young British Art movement more recently.
The art from Britain in Tate's collection is rich with imaginative invention and reinvention and this panoramic book celebrates this aesthetic ingenuity as an ongoing story, revealing how 500 years of art can act as a fascinating lens through which to deepen our understanding of ourselves and society, past and present, in both Britain and in the rest of the world.
This generous companion to the Tate collection provides a sumptuous compendium of the rich history of British art, designed to offer readers an overview of the collection and demonstrate the remarkable range of art in the collection.
