Wendell Castle - A Catalogue Raisonne 1958-2012The Artist Book Foundation 2015 ISBN 9780988855700 Acqn 25688Hb 29x31cm 516pp 1550ills 1150col £116
A founder and icon of the Studio Furniture movement, the popular sculptor and furniture designerWendell Castle (born 1932) has carved a distinct path over nearly six decades of a distinguishedcareer. This long-awaited and richly illustrated record of his oeuvre, Wendell Castle: A CatalogueRaisonné, 1958–2012 , beautifully delivers a worthy homage to his talents. From Castle’s earliest,mid-century works through to his unabashedly forward-thinking experiments with unconventionalmaterials (gel-coated fibreglass and metallic automobile paint, for example) and his latest
signature wood laminations, the common thread that ties these diverse pieces together isCastle’s knack for uniting appealing function with biomorphic elegance. Castle’s pieces are widelycollected and his works feature in the permanent collections of more than 40 museums andcultural institutions around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York);Museum of Modern Art (New York); Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, D.C.);Musée des Beaux-arts de Montréal (Quebec, Canada); and the Victoria and Albert Museum(London). Three essays supplying varying perspectives introduce the catalogue raisonné andsubstantial back matter is included.

Shinichiro Ogata HigashiyaSeigensha Art Publishing 2015 ISBN 9784861524554 Acqn 25551Pb 17x26cm 160pp 60ills 50col £36
Japanese confectionery shops used to be divided into two categories: shops that providedwagashi (traditional Japanese confectioneries) to those associated with the Imperial Court, andneighbourhood shops that made simpler kinds for the general public. Recently, the idea of suchneighbourhood shops has faded from everyday life, with people now perceiving Western sweetsas the norm and wagashi only for special occasions or celebratory gifts. This beautifullyphotographed book shows how Higashiya strives to change this by recreating Japan’s proudculture of wagashi to fit our modern lives, by placing emphasis on the sense of the seasons and
their nuances.

According to flower artist Toshiro Kawase, scattered throughout this book are “flowers, beloved inthe new and the old Kyoto, that grew in the beautiful soil of Kyoto’s local character, elegantculture, and tea ceremony tradition.” With arrangements dedicated to each month of the year, it isa gorgeous and delicate homage to the quintessentially Japanese practice of ikebana – the art ofgiving life to flowers. Bringing flowers indoors can sanctify your living space, soothe the heart,and introduce a spiritual presence (kami) to your home. In this way, these purportedly everydayor benign arrangements become sublime beacons of nature, colour, shape, and beauty.
