David King (1948–2019) was a British-born artist, graphic designer, and musician best known for designing the Crass symbol. His many varied projects encompassed design, drawing, photography, sculpture, film, video, radio plays, and more. King was a core member of the New York no wave band Arsenal, and later the San Francisco post-punk bands Sleeping Dogs and Brain Rust. He generated hundreds of flyers for these bands and others during the period of 1977–1988, as well as creating logos, brand identities and posters for nightclubs like Danceteria, Pravda, and the Peppermint Lounge in New York, and the I-Beam in San Francisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing made dozens of Xeroxed and offset zines in the late 70s and 80s that often accompanied his music projects. In the early 2000s, he began self-publishing highly idiosyncratic small-run books with subjects ranging from photographs of J.G. Ballard’s home to rock formations seen in early Western films. In the later 2000s, he released numerous books of graphic design and photography through Colpa Press, \u0026amp;Pens, and Gingko Press. This publication seeks to introduce readers to King’s small-press publishing projects, as well as his zines, ephemera, and illustration work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name at San Francisco Center for the Book, on view October 25–December 22, 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid King has exhibited at the Serpentine Gallery, the Hayward Gallery, and the Horse Hospital in London; and the Lab, Park Life, and Adobe Books in San Francisco. His films have been screened at Artists’ Television Access, San Francisco; the Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley; and Millennium and Tier 3, New York. Early performance works include contributions to EXIT at the Roundhouse in London, and EXIT with Anthony McCall in North Weald, both part of ICES, 1972. Sleeping Dogs’ music has been released by Crass Records and Brain Rust’s by Vinyl Communications. In addition, numerous books have been published on King’s work including Scrapbook, Still, and Journey by Colpa Press; Secret Origins of the Crass Symbol published by \u0026amp;Pens Press; and David King Stencils: Past, Present and Crass! published by Gingko, Kill Yr Idols.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colpa Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46486234005724,"sku":"S05090","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/NEWBOOKS1432.jpg?v=1748564905"},{"product_id":"the-italian-interiors-of-elsa-peretti","title":"The Italian Interiors of Elsa Peretti","description":"\u003cp\u003eStep into wonder: The Italian Interiors of Elsa Peretti charts a voyage through two sumptuous homes of the late artist whose designs completely reshaped jewellery in the 20th century and are still worn by the world's biggest stars today. Capturing the terracotta glow of these spaces, Estelle Hanania's ethereal photography introduces us to the wilds of Torre Avoltore, a towering residence in Porto Ercole, and invites us to retire to stately Rome, where Elsa grew up. An introductory essay by longtime collaborator Stefano Palumbo centres Elsa's creative relationship with architect and designer Lorenzo Mongiardino, and a brief dispatch from photographer Dominique Nabokov closes the book with a memory of her 2001 visit to the tower. Made in close collaboration with the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation, The Italian Interiors of Elsa Peretti is the first book exclusively dedicated to her interiors and homes in Italy, offering a privileged view into spaces not open to the public.

Noguchi made no distinction between design, craft, and the so-called fine arts: in his view all of these could all be considered art should their aesthetic qualities sufficiently transcend those generated by the simple address of need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough his gardens include several of the twentieth century’s most iconic landscape designs and have received almost universal praise, Noguchi nonetheless occupies a place removed from the normal practice of landscape architecture. As an artist he relied more on intuition—bolstered by focused study where required—than on objective analysis, and he shaped his landscapes as sculpture, with space as their primary vehicle. To Noguchi landscape design was a spatial and formal art, and from his earliest environmental projects to the works of his later maturity, he succeeded in conceiving and constructing a series of remarkable places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[MORE]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this comprehensive and richly illustrated study of Noguchi's gardens, noted landscape historian Marc Treib describes and critiques projects that date from his early unrealized projects for playgrounds and monuments to a large park in Sapporo, Japan, whose construction was completed only posthumously.

It could be said that Walter Gropius laid the cornerstone of modern architecture in 1919 by founding the Bauhaus. As a result, modern architecture is now over 100 years old. This first century of Modernism has come to a close with a mixed review. Enthusiasm for its achievements goes hand in hand with a discontent about a sizeable portion of its outcome, as well as its effect on the natural and built environments. The most vocal suppor ters of these modernist ideals crafted epic claims that Modernism was bound to deliver progressive and humane environments. Alas, the follow-through of those promises was uneven at best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan we update this ideological framework, establishing a new outlook that is both open ended and operational? If the first century of Modernism can be considered an architecture of abstraction and ideas, then what might we design if we turn our attention, in this second century of modernism, to an architecture of emotional abundance? Second Century Modernism creates an architecture of richness and community by placing a higher priority on emotional meaning, through a shift in the design process that balances the rational with the intuitive, and a “Less + More” approach to expanding the range of cultural values we can inclusively balance in our environments.
