Constant Within the Change: Gary Wragg: Five Decades of Paintings: A Comprehensive Catalogue surveys the work of abstract painter Gary Wragg. Trained at Camberwell School of Art and the Slade, Wragg announced himself in the mid-seventies with two dramatic exhibitions at London's Acme Gallery. Since then he has exhibited widely and internationally and has work in public collections including the Arts Council Collection, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and the Pompidou, Paris. Texts by Hilary Spurling, Terence Maloon, Matthew Collings, Sam Cornish, Stefanie Sachsenmaier and Wragg himself explore various aspects of his art - including his relation to American Abstract Expressionism and friendship with painters Jack Tworkov and Willem de Kooning; and his practice of Tai-Chi, of which he is one of Europe's leading experts. In two volumes Constant Within the Change includes over five hundred full-color images, and comes with access to an online catalogue of Wragg's work.

How Bowling's sculpture expands and complicates his reputation as a high modernist painter 
This is the first publication to examine Frank Bowling’s (born 1934) art and ideas in relation to sculpture. An extended essay by Sam Cornish charts his interactions with sculpture since the 1960s, beginning with his shaped canvas Swan (1964), which was first displayed with ribbons and an anchor hanging from it. The text also considers Bowling’s time in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when he was involved with debates around Black art and the work of a number of African American sculptors. 
The book asks how Bowling’s sculpture extends our understanding of his pictorial language. Considering this relationship also highlights the importance of sculpture to high modernism, from which Bowling’s mature art emerged. Bowling is one of a number of high modernist painters―including Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland and Helen Frankenthaler―who also made sculpture, complicating perceptions of high modernism as a tendency associated primarily with painting.

Sam Cornish’s new and selected poems, in the voices and with the lyrics of the blues, grow out of the historical and personal reminiscences and traditions of artists like Langston Hughes and Margaret Walker. The poems are autobiographical and biographical, expressed through such art forms as film noir, science fiction, blues, jazz and other aspects of American popular culture.
