A lavish portfolio of never-before-seen erotic drawings by celebrated twentieth-century American artist and gay icon, Paul CadmusPaul Cadmus entered the art scene in the 1930s with paintings of dream-like urban demi-mondes: roiling tableaux of beatniks, sailors, and prostitutes. Undergirding his work has always been the artist's masterful draftsmanship, seen in hundreds of drawings of nude male models, chief among them his long-time lover and muse, Jon Anderson. Paul Cadmus: 49 Drawings collects these never-before-seen drawings for the first time, presenting a singular body of work that exemplifies Cadmus's classical proficiency, channelled into an obsessive emphasis of his model's erotic zones. Packaged in a stamped portfolio envelope, this is a landmark collection of queer art by a twentieth-century master, its images complemented by an introduction by Graham Steele that details the significance of Paul Cadmus to his career in the art world, plus an essay by leading queer-art scholar Richard Meyer, as well as a momentous discussion with painters Nash Glynn, Doron Langdon, and Oscar yi Hou, moderated by curator and critic Jarrett Earnest. This elegant book, sumptuously produced to reflect the eminence of this newly revealed body of work, and the intimacy of its subject matter, represents a rare exposé of a significant body of unknown work from a major twentieth-century artist, and a substantial contribution to the study and legacy of queer art.

The book reveals that spontaneity, juxtaposition, collection, and emotion in any setting lead to satisfying spaces, and that objects we value need not be expensive, making high design relatable.Callout features highlighting fourteen artists and artisans living across the United States and around the world encourage readers to look to their own local sources and craftspeople-from farmers markets to art fairs-for inspiration and accent pieces to give rooms depth, joy, and personality.

The first book by the New York-based AD100 architect Elizabeth Roberts compiles photographs, sketches, and even vignettes of fiction, to showcase her award-winning workOver the past decades, Elizabeth Roberts Architects has built a practice of specificity. Whether breathing new life into a historic townhouse or imparting a sense of place into a ground-up contemporary home, Roberts dissolves the boundaries between architecture, interior design, and objects. Her sensitive approach and timeless aesthetic have earned her firm not only wide acclaim and AD100 status, but also a devoted following.The 18 projects featured in this book-among them chic city townhouses and brownstones, contemporary mountain retreats, and a restored country farmhouse, as well as commercial and cultural commissions, and ERA's designs for wallpaper and furniture-reflect Roberts's dedication to reframing the distinctions between history and modernity. Varied in their typologies, all are remarkable for being refined but warm, composed but informal, contemporary but enduring, qualities that have earned Roberts a clientele that includes Hollywood luminaries, celebrated fashion designers, and media moguls.Interspersed throughout the projects are hand-drawn sketches; historical ephemera such as postcards, archival photos, and antique maps related to each site; and short fictional vignettes written by renowned novelist Christine Coulson, which add dimension, context, and surprise.

The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death offers readers an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a master criminal investigator. Frances Glessner Lee, a wealthy grandmother, founded the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard in 1936 and was later appointed captain in the New Hampshire police. In the 1940s and 1950s she built dollhouse crime scenes based on real cases in order to train detectives to assess visual evidence. Still used in forensic training today, the eighteen Nutshell dioramas, on a scale of 1:12, display an astounding level of detail: pencils write, window shades move, whistles blow, and clues to the crimes are revealed to those who study the scenes carefully. Corinne May Botz's lush color photographs lure viewers into every crevice of Frances Lee's models and breathe life into these deadly miniatures, which present the dark side of domestic life, unveiling tales of prostitution, alcoholism, and adultery. The accompanying line drawings, specially prepared for this volume, highlight the noteworthy forensic evidence in each case. Botz's introductory essay, which draws on archival research and interviews with Lee's family and police colleagues, presents a captivating portrait of Lee.

Elegantly luxurious presentation of the residential work of Thomas Kligerman, an architect renowned for skillful integration of contemporary flair into traditional designs.As a full career monograph, the book will feature iconic Kligerman houses built over the past twenty years and current projects that demonstrate the evolution of his architectural thinking. This will be a 'deep dive' into the design process, illustrated by sketches and renderings as well as finished photography.An introduction by Architectural Digest design editor Mitchell Owens will provide an overview of the trajectory while Kligerman's own essay will focus on his interest in developing a truly American style that reflects both the Puebloan style of the Southwest and the shingle style that has prevailed in along the East Coast since the late nineteenth century.Kligerman designs only single-family houses, and his clients have beautiful sites in the Hamptons and throughout New England with a few on the West Coast and in Texas. He is deeply steeped in the history of European and American domestic architecture and wonders whether there is (or can be) an American house paradigm. He grew up in Connecticut and New Mexico so the two strands that he draws on most art the solid adobe forms of Puebloan style and the lighter, more open shingle style. He also considers West Coast architects like Bernard Maybeck and English arts and crafts designers like Vosey and Lutyens. Rather than looking at single, specific precedents and adapting them for contemporary life, Kligerman tries to incorporate multiple strands to come up with something new 'to move the needle forward' as he says.

Long known as an enclave for the wealthy and glamorous, today the Hamptons and nearby coastal communities have become a haven of seaside modernism. New Hamptons Houses showcases houses that reflect the area's design history and strong affinity for its landscape.There are few places in the United States that have experienced as many waves of American modernism as Long Island's East End. In New Hamptons Houses, author David Sokol explores the latest architectural experiments taking place in New York's legendary summer retreat. With contemporary design increasingly mainstream in the region, the seventeen residences featured here reflect modernism's spread across not just the Hamptons but up-and-coming destinations like Bellport and Montauk, Greenport and Mattituck. Yet perhaps more important, the houses featured here represent a shift away from the image of conspicuously sprawling properties for the elite; these projects return to modernism's founding principles, shun Instagrammable spectacle, and steward the East End's increasingly fragile landscape.These houses interface with the seaside landscape in ways that that reference the Hamptons' rich design history and sensitively highlight Long Island's famed natural beauty. Some are renovations and additions to houses by famed twentieth century modernists like Andrew Geller, Charles Gwathmey, and Norman Jaffe, and leading offices such as Bates + Masi, Young Projects, and Ryall Sheridan Architects represent the contemporary approach to twenty-first century regionalism. New Hamptons Houses presents these and numerous other examples of design-forward residences that are responsive to terrain, building vernacular, and cultural legacy.
