2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Karim Rashid is redesigning the world we live in one design at a time, or in Karim`s case, thousands of objects at a time. As one of the most prolific designers of his generation, Rashid is largely credited with bringing design to the masses. His best-selling Oh Chair and Garbo trash can brought the supple curves and bright colors of high design into millions of living rooms and home offices around the world. In this book, Rashid explains his varied approach to design (and life) through evocative, thought-provoking essays and lush, full-color treatments of his latest designs. This book illustrates how Rashid has helped popularize design and made it accessible to a wider audience. From fragance bottles to cyber-couture fashion, his designs embrace the present and look forward to the future, imagining how design can make life better, easier, and more enjoyable.

Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: Karim Rashid is one of the most well-known international designers, and his work is known for being innovative, forward-looking, and strikingly relevant. From furniture to fashion to products for hip brands like Umbra and Method, Karim`s colorful projects have burst through the design community and into the mainstream.

Karin Davie: Selected Works

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With her bold use of color and undulating, twisting lines, Karin Davie works at the intersection between representation and abstraction, creating sensuous, psychological, and completely exhilarating canvases. `In a sense, painting is like dance—the movement, the process, the image. But the moment you are making the painting, something else enters in,` she explains. While her work seems spontaneous, the fluidity of her lines betray an intense degree of concentration and a striking command of the medium. The book includes her most recent paintings and a selection of sculptural drawings—on zippered paper with mirrored Mylar—that conjure up the squashed and distorted images of her paintings. Exhibition at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in February 2006 with other North American venues to follow. [detailed...]

Karl Blossfeldt, 1865-1932

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When Karl Blossfeldt published Art Forms in Nature in 1928, he made photographic history and became an instant celebrity. The public loved the world of tiny shapes and organic monumentality revealed in his enlargements of flowers and seeds, stems and leaves. Yet Blossfeldt did not consider himself a photographer. He produced his beautiful studies of plant forms to illustrate the courses he taught on architecture at Berlin`s School of Arts and Crafts. For 30 years he used the same painstaking method. He would make long journeys into the countryside to select his specimens, which tended to be hardy weeds rather than cultivated flowers. He then prepared them against a neutral cardboard background in various ways designed to avoid camera shake, then photographed in extreme close-up with a homemade plate camera equipped with a very long bellows. Plants gave Blossfeldt a constant supply of graceful designs in which organic growth modified the basic symmetry of natural forms…. [detailed...]

Karl Dane: A Biography and Filmography

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The life of Karl Dane was a Cinderella story gone horribly wrong. The immigrant from Copenhagen was rapidly transformed from a machinist to a Hollywood star after his turn as the tobacco-chewing Slim in `The Big Parade` in 1925. After that, Dane appeared in more than 40 films with such luminaries as Lillian Gish, John Gilbert and William Haines until development of talkies virtually ruined his career. The most famous casualty of the transition from silent to sound film, Dane reportedly lost his career because of his accent, finding himself broke at the height of the Depression. He reportedly operated a hot dog stand outside the studio where he earned his fame, then committed suicide in 1934. This biography tells the tale of a daring yet tragic man who aimed for his wildest dreams and succeeded, if only for a short time. [detailed...]

Karl Holmqvist: What`s My Name?

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Informed by the strategies of Dada, Fluxus, and beat writing, Berlin-based Karl Holmqvist fuses concrete poetry with cut-up techniques in anti-hierarchical monochromatic texts often presented as self-effacing, uneasy, live performances. In What`s My Name? the text slowly reveals itself as the modified but recognizable lyrics to pop songs. Rejecting the authenticity of creativity and the idolatry of pop celebrity, the Swedish-born Holmqvist prioritizes the ``cover`` version, and subtly mocks the machismo of pop celebrity with the bizarre interventions of his performance works. This publication contains 66 poems, reworking the lyrics of artists that range from Grace Jones to Chicks on Speed and The Rolling Stones. [detailed...]

Karl Kraus: Apocalyptic Satirist, Volume 2: The Postwar Crisis and the Rise of the Swastika

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this second volume of Karl Kraus: Apocalyptic Satirist, Edward Timms takes up Kraus’s story in November 1918, when the satirist responded to the creation of the new republics with a defiant hope, invoking international law against the dual threat of reactionary politics and irresponsible media. While contemporaries like Walter Benjamin regarded Kraus as heroically isolated, this book places him within a dynamic field of cultural production. Timms highlights the court cases Kraus pursued with his lawyer Oskar Samek and the theatrical projects that earned him Brecht’s friendship. In the final section of the book, the author refutes the legend that Kraus responded with stunned silence to Hitler’s seizure of power. His career culminated in Third Walpurgis Night, an analysis of Nazi ideology that has proved enduringly influential. Timms concludes that Kraus’s lifelong critique of the media, combining Orwell’s political radicalism with… [detailed...]

Karl Lagerfeld: A Portrait Of Dorian Gray

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn his youth, Dorian Gray had his portrait painted and, because the painting wonderfully preserved a carefree moment, Gray begged for a trade-off: the painting would age and he himself would remain young and handsome forever. That`s exactly what happened until one day, in a rage, he stabbed the canvas and died. What remained was a flawless portrait of youth. Karl Lagerfeld has staged the core of Oscar Wilde`s famous novel in his own way. He shows a luxurious Bohemian world as in the freeze-frames of a film. Young people celebrate, paying homage to beautiful bodies and devoting themselves to the moment. Right up until the metamorphosis begins. Then the young man changes into an old man and the pretty woman into her own death mask. Thisbook tells the story as a film, reflecting a world of fashion and glamour, and suggesting the aesthetics of Caravaggio or the pre-Raphaelites. With this publication, Karl Lagerfeld, one of the great protagonists of the fashion scene,… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionSteinway &, Sons has been manufacturing concert grand pianos for more than 150 years. To commemorate their anniversary, Karl Lagerfeld has designed an instrument that is unequaled in terms of beauty and sound: the Steinway Limited Edition,or S.L.ED. For the first time in the history of grand-piano manufacturing, Lagerfeld has rethought the traditional form. By shaping the feet like the runners of a sled, Lagerfeld has given the piano a new silhouette and has simultaneously made substantial improvements in the instrument`s resonance. This publication documents the creative process involving the S.L.ED from the first drafts and color tests through various production steps at the Hamburg Steinway factory to the finished instrument. A sensorial study of function and design, the S.L.ED is a convincing new interpretation of a classic shape. Hardcover, 8.25 x 6.5 in./80 pgs / 10 color 0 BW33 duotone 0 ~ Item D20339 [detailed...]

Description: Karl Marx`s writings contain, besides economic analysis and the political theory of revolutionary communism, an influential sociology of ideas, explaining how social life shapes and distorts people`s ideas and beliefs. This book presents a fresh critical study of this theory, establishing what Marx did and did not say, and distinguishing the more scientific parts of his thought from those which were over-influenced by his revolutionary aims. The author argues that Marx`s own theory of ideas can play an important role in explaining the subsequent degeneration of Marxist thought itself. [detailed...]
