PUBLISHED TODAY! Gesina ter Borch by Adam Eaker is the first major biographical account, in any language, of one of the best-documented female artists of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. Gesina ter Borch was a Dutch watercolourist and draughtswoman whose work survives primarily in the form of three albums of watercolours and calligraphy, now held at the Rijksmuseum. Despite the fact that her oeuvre is securely attributed and thoroughly catalogued, Ter Borch has surprisingly never been the subject of a dedicated monograph, until now. This wonderful book is the latest volume in the #IlluminatingWomenArtists series, co-published in North America with Getty Publications!

It was lovely to celebrate 85 years of Lund Humphries publishing with the team in London this week! Originally formed as a printer in Bradford, Lund Humphries' book publishing on the visual arts dates back to Autumn 1939 and the publication of An Organic Architecture: The Architecture of Democracy by Frank Lloyd Wright. Just five years later, under Peter Gregory’s visionary leadership, Lund Humphries published the first large-format illustrated monograph on Henry Moore (Henry Moore: Sculpture and Drawings, 1944) and went on to publish the first illustrated monographs on the leading Modernist artists of the time, including Paul Nash (1948), Ben Nicholson (1948 and 1956) and Barbara Hepworth (1952). As we celebrate our 85th birthday, Lund Humphries continues to thrive as an independent publisher of beautifully produced books on the visual arts, with a list which now ranges across Art and Architectural History, Modern and Contemporary Art, and books for arts professionals. Find out more about Lund Humphries' history, and the new book by Valerie Holman on former LH chairman and patron of the arts, Peter Gregory: https://lnkd.in/eKE2xCP7 https://lnkd.in/eqFeTd-P #LundHumphries85 #LundHumphries
Out now! 'Here We Are, Home At Last: The Architecture of Nithurst' by Adam Richards with contributions by Jeremy Musson, Geoff Dyer, Takero Shimazaki and Corinna Dean. Nithurst by Adam Richards Architects is a much-lauded, multi-award-winning house designed by the architect for his family, and situated in the picturesque South Downs National Park. The building intentionally feels both ancient and contemporary and the character of the house is informed by Renaissance drawings and by Palladio’s plan for the Villa Barbaro. With influences ranging from Vanbrugh to Tarkovsky, the design has multiple layers of reference and association, each informing the whole, enhancing its meaning, whilst creating a beautiful place to live. This book tells the full story of the evolution of the house, offering thematic essays written by specialists in the fields of film, architectural history, interiors and art.

William Butterfield was the most daring, rigorous and brilliant architect of his age, whose 60-year practice spanned the entire Victorian era. Published today, The Master Builder: William Butterfield and His Times by Nicholas Olsberg addresses the emergence of a modern society, with rapidly expanding new institutions and a changing moral code and explores how Butterfield responded to and advanced that transformation. It reflects the changing emphasis of Butterfield’s work: first, the revival, rebuilding and reform of the country parish; next the role of the church and the agents of social health in the burgeoning town and city; third, the revolution in secondary education and college life; and finally, sites of refuge, sanctuary, repose and remembrance.

Really appreciated the invitation for me and Prof Graham Haughton from the The University of Manchester to chat about our book 'Why Plan? Theory for Practitioners' with Lund Humphries on the A is for Architecture podcast with Ambrose Gillick. Podcasts are such a lovely long way to tell stories about why we write or research things in a way that makes sense, rather than the pay walled and complex articles we often tend to focus on. This episode is a general (and hopefully accessible) discussion through why planning theory is important for planning practice with a bit more in depth discussion of a couple of the 22 theories discussed in the book: Soft Spaces and Post-Politics.

OUT NOW! Nigel Hall: Sculpture & Drawings by Jon Wood This is an ambitious monograph which looks at his work in relation to sculptural developments in Britain, Europe and North America. It presents the two main strands of Hall's practice - sculpture and drawing - as distinct but also interrelated. Line and space are central to Hall's work, with the artist creating highly refined two- and three-dimensional works that deploy a range of geometrical forms. The works he makes are always meticulous and measured, whilst offering intuitive visual conundrums that encourage looking and thinking. Unpicking the complexities of Hall's work and its display both indoors and outdoors, Wood provides the definitive narrative of one of Britain's most accomplished sculptors working today. #NigelHallArtist
