Art and Feminism
by Helena Reckitt (Editor)
No question about it, Art and Feminism is the basic reference book for feminist art. Part of Phaidon's excellent Themes and Movements series, it surveys three decades of a tumultuous history with a brief but inclusive essay, reproductions of works by 155 artists, and lengthy excerpts from groundbreaking texts by artists and theorists. The challenge posed by a movement that spans several artistic generations and includes many contentious players is ably met by essayist Peggy Phelan, professor of performance studies at New York University. She illuminates the intertwined workings of feminist politics and literary criticism, psychoanalysis, race and queer theory with clarity and a refreshing absence of doctrinaire pronouncements.

Jam: Tokyo-London
Jam: Tokyo-London is one of those books you just want to have. Inside, contemporary illustration, fashion design, computer art, sculpture, photography, painting, graphic design, and product design from London and Tokyo define what is essentially urban for our age, from a limited-edition record player from the Japanese musician-artist Cornelius to sexy illustrations of young urbanites by London artist Graham Rounthwaite.

Mies in Berlin
by Terence Riley (Editor), Barry Bergdoll (Editor)
Mies in Berlin examines van der Rohe's early career in Europe in terms of specific historical and cultural context. Scholars and architectural historians shed new light on the continual interplay of tradition and innovation, nature and abstraction, in the evolution of his design theories and methods, accompanied by photographs and drawings that have not been previously published. The book chronicles for the first time the dynamic intellectual ferment of this formative period in the life of one of architecture's towering figures.
