The British artist Tony Cragg (b. 1949), winner of the 1988 Turner Prize, is one of today's most celebrated and popular sculptors. Before studying art, he worked as a laboratory technician, and his continuing interest in science has had an enormous influence on his practice. In his early sculptural works, he often utilized everyday objects, assembling or stacking them to generate engaging new forms. In recent years, he has turned to an astonishing variety of more traditional materials, such as wood, bronze, glass, plaster, fiberglass, and plastics. As a self-proclaimed "absolute materialist," Cragg approaches these materials with a degree of scientific curiosity, responding to their various properties to produce his expressive sculptures.
This retrospective survey, made in consultation with the artist, focuses on Cragg's artistic output of the last ten years. Color illustrations demonstrate the diverse styles and materials that he employed during this time, and the book also includes earlier works and his alluring, little-known watercolors. This eye-opening book offers an up-to-date look at this respected contemporary artist.

A giant of twentieth-century art, Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) stands beside Picasso and Matisse as an artist who has defined the way our century is perceived, and alongside them as one of the few modern artists who have created sculpture, paintings and drawings with equal mastery. This lavishly illustrated book accompanies a major retrospective of Giacometti's work at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. The two hundred and forty-one works in the exhibition include many of Giacometti's greatest and best-known pieces, as well as rarely-seen Surrealist sculptures and previously unrecorded works. All are reproduced - eighty as full page colour plates. The fully illustrated essays, written by some of the world's leading Giacometti scholars, bring together remarkable new research and make this book an invaluable introduction to the artist's life and work.

Welcome to Canada, she may look different. A short ten years from now, America as you know it no longer exists. Her citizens live in fear and the world looks on her with hatred. Despite being an ally of the States in most conflicts, Canada is viewed differently. Neither reviled nor revered. The liberal and politically correct of two great nations find one solution to both problems. Join the countries under the banner the world knows and loves then make people get along. The new Canada forms. A haven where drugs are accepted. A place of free, and paid for, love. A Union of peace and equality. Fear is all but gone from the hearts of citizens. Even in this utopia the need for detectives exist. Even in paradise some choose to do wrong. Even in the future evil hides in plain sight. Embark on a specially approved ride along with Tamlin Long, a detective of the Peace Covenant in the city and province of New York. A loveless marriage, a call to duty, these are just two things that keep him going. With retirement quickly approaching he must clear the heaviest caseload in the history of the Union. The greatest deviant produced by the young nation is Detective Long's problem. Leaving the criminal to someone else is not acceptable. Our privileged access lets us see it all. The hints to a domestic terrorist group operating in the fair country. The clues that they might be freedom fighters. The fact that our old friend Tamlin might just be on the wrong side.

William Turnbull has been making sculpture and paintings for fifty years. This book is the first publication devoted to the artist for twenty-two years. It documents his entire career and is published to coincide with an important exhibition of Turnbull's work at the Serpentine Gallery, London. It contains an introduction by the curator of the exhibition, David Sylvester; and an essay by Patrick Elliott, Assistant Keeper at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.A variety of different sources have inspired Turnbull's sculpture, ranging from pre-classical and non-Western idols and ritual objects to highly modern, industrial products. In his latest sculptures he has taken his images of standing figures and heads to a greater degree of simplification and refinement than ever, without diminishing their sense of life and of mystery.Turnbull's paintings, which have been much less widely shown than his sculptures, will be a complete revelation to many, with their decisive colour and energetic brushmarks within a framework of extreme austerity.
