NEW Books 2010

Michael Poliza’s South Africa is a tribute by the renowned photographer on the occasion of the World Football Championship. In this inspiring volume, Poliza profiles his adopted homeland, featuring the people, the townships, and the breathtaking landscapes.

Insight into the world of jewelry can be discovered in Chopard — The Passion for Exellence, which gives an in-depth account of the legendary fine jewelry and watch brand’s history over the past 150 years. For those of a horological bent we offer Twelve Faces of Time, presenting the dozen leading names in fine watch making today.

Moving from the timeless world of watch making to the timeliness of fashion, in Backstage Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin photographer Claudius Holzmann takes us behind the scenes of one of the liveliest events on the fashion calendar.

On the topic of leading brands, few are more legendary than Porsche. So, we’re thrilled to unveil The Porsche Book, a massive volume featuring spectacular photographs by Frank Orel. His impressive work builds on the success of last season’s Porsche Icons and Generation Porsche.

Mindful of the challenges facing the planet, Ecological Hotels is the latest addition to our Luxury series. These stunning destinations offer travelers comfort, style and a means to protect the environment.

We extend our handy affordable Styleguides series with the following notable titles: Cool Hotels Cool Prices, Cool Hotels Weekend, Living in Style New York, and Bathroom Design. Style has never been so accessible.

Finally, for those drawn to the distinctive item of lasting note, we offer Collector’s Editions of Rankin’s Heidilicious and Porsche Icons. These museumquality volumes contain signed, limited-edition photo prints and the elegant clamshell boxes preserve your artistic treasures for posterity.

Who is André S. Solidor?

In the persona of André S. Solidor, veteran photographer Elliott Erwitt plunges deeply into the kookier excesses of contemporary photography. Connotation, denotation, “relevance,” André S. Solidor has covered all the bases. Solidor’s “best masterpiece to date” features an “exuberantly eclectic” selection of topics—smoking fish heads, pneumatic mannequins in incongruous poses, not to mention some “up-close and personal” shots of Solidor himself. Plus for all you postmodernist groupies out there, there’s context and commentary galore. Did we mention the gratuitous nudity?

Ed Hardy

At the age of ten, Don Ed Hardy recognized the unique force of tattoo art. Growing up in the center of 1950s and early 60s California pop culture, he went on to earn an art school degree and then learned to tattoo by apprenticing himself to master artists. Over the past forty years Hardy has revolutionized this ancient tradition while also bringing fresh energy to the classical mediums of painting, printmaking and ceramics through his exhibitions across the United States and abroad. His technical brilliance and mesmerizing imagery have created an indelible style on skin and in the worlds of fashion and contemporary art. Hardy's sense of design is at once startling, seductive, frightening, and enchanting, transcending categories of time and culture, high and low. Don Ed Hardy is Art for Life.
