But unlike Lewerentz’s other famous church, St Peter’s in Klippan, no book has been published to date that constitutes a fitting tribute to this masterpiece of brick brutalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis opulent new building monograph now fills this gap. Some two hundred new color photographs and explanatory plans, alongside essays by distinguished authorities on Lewerentz’s architecture, turn this book into a visual feast. It demonstrates the exquisitely atmospheric St Mark’s Church both as a stand-alone object and in the context of its surrounding urban landscape. Moreover, it picks out many details, such as the floor coverings, furnishings, lamps, banisters, the altar, and other liturgical features. The essays explore aspects of materiality and topics such as the church’s special acoustics and atmosphere in an attempt to reveal the secret of Sigurd Lewerentz’s church designs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Park Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46704753639644,"sku":"S05628","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/st.Mark_scurch-pureaesthetic.jpg?v=1752095880"},{"product_id":"ed-ruschas-streets-of-los-angeles-artist-image-archive-city","title":"Ed Ruscha's Streets of Los Angeles: Artist, Image, Archive, City","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough analysis of Ed Ruscha’s visionary Streets of Los Angeles Archive, this volume provides new understandings of his artistic practice, the history of L.A., and the innovative role of technology in the archive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1966, Ed Ruscha drove a car rigged with a motorized camera to capture Los Angeles’ most iconic street: Sunset Boulevard. He created a time capsule of its famed facades, beginning a sixty-year-long commitment to documenting the changing urban landscape of postwar Los Angeles. The Streets of Los Angeles project that comprises these photographs is likely the most comprehensive artistic record of any city, with over 900,000 images of major thoroughfares. Ruscha’s photographs constitute an unparalleled visual chronicle of both iconic and everyday sites in L.A., including popular music venues, neighborhood restaurants, and billboards promoting Hollywood’s latest blockbusters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this volume, scholars from disciplines such as urban planning, cultural geography, architecture, art history, and musicology explore the Streets of Los Angeles Archive as a rich repository for analyzing Ruscha’s practice and the city’s visual culture. Using his photographs and new data visualizations, the authors consider what it means to interpret an archive mostly accessible through digital technologies, and they demonstrate how histories of art have been indelibly reshaped since the advent of the information age in the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Getty Research Institute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46704756818140,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/artistimagearchivecity.jpg?v=1752094248"},{"product_id":"less-and-more-the-design-ethos-of-dieter-rams-1","title":"Less and More: The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is Dieter Rams’s 808-page book about his work, back in print in its original form with a PVC softcover and slipcase.
