Textiles of the Islamic World
Textiles of the Islamic World presents photographs
of textiles so quixotic you will be moved to
immediately schedule your next flight to Oman. Yet
before heading out, permit yourself the pleasure
of being fully drawn in by Mr. Gillow���s exceedingly
fine overview of Islamic textiles. A fascinating look
into the traditions, history and processes related
to the production of these remarkable objects. by
John Gillow / Thames & Hudson.
The Art of Structural Tile
Gustavino Vaulting:
Guastavino Vaulting uncovers the history of
a vaulting style seen by many people (Grand
Central Terminal anyone?) but whose history has
remained relatively unexamined by the public.
Hopefully this volume will attract more attention
to the story behind an intriguing technology that
was deployed in major building projects across
America. by John Ochsendorf (Author), Michael Freeman
(Photographer).
On Line
A companion to the Museum of Modern Art���s
exhibition of the same name, On Line explores
twentieth-century mark-making. A back to artbasics volume that is also comprehensive and
thoughtful, On Line examines drawing as used by
over 100 artists, from painters and sculptors to
dancers and filmmakers. by Catherine de Zegher (Editor),
Cornelia Butler (Editor) / The Museum of Modern Art.
