Basquiat
An icon of 1980s New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) first made his name under the graffiti tag “SAMO,” before establishing his studio practice and catapulting to fast fame at the age of 20. Although his career lasted barely a decade, he remains a cult figure of artistic social commentary, and a trailblazer in the mediation of graffiti and gallery art.
Basquiat’s work drew upon diverse sources and media to create an original and urgent artistic vocabulary, biting with critique against structures of power and racism. His practice merged abstraction and figuration, poetry and painting, while his influences spanned Greek, Roman, and African art, French poetry, jazz,and the work of artistic contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and Cy Twombly. The results are vivid, visceral mixtures of words, African emblems, cartoonish figures, daubs of bold color, and beyond.
This book presents Basquiat’s short but prolific career, his unique style, and his profound engagement with ever-relevant issues of integration and segregation, poverty and wealth.
About the series
Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:
a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance
a concise biography
approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

Phantom Architecture
’60 fantastical structures described and illustrated in this colourful and highly entertaining book.’ The Sunday Times
‘If you can’t think of a present for the armchair architect in your life – well, problem solved’ The Daily Telegraph
‘These ghostly architectural echoes entrance the reader.’ The Field
‘This is a lavishly illustrated book of wonder for the dreamer in your life’ The Metro
A skyscraper one mile high, a dome covering most of downtown Manhattan, a triumphal arch in the form of an elephant: some of the most exciting buildings in the history of architecture are the ones that never got built.
These are the projects in which architects took materials to the limits, explored challenging new ideas, defied conventions, and pointed the way towards the future. Some of them are architectural masterpieces, some simply delightful flights of fancy. It was not usually poor design that stymied them – politics, inadequate funding, or a client who chose a ‘safe’ option rather than a daring vision were all things that could stop a project leaving the drawing board.
These unbuilt buildings include the grand projects that acted as architectural calling cards, experimental designs that stretch technology, visions for the future of the city, and articles of architectural faith. Structures likeBuckminster Fuller’s dome over New York or Frank Lloyd Wright’s mile-high tower can seem impossibly daring. But they also point to buildings that came decades later, to the Eden Project and the Shard.
Some of those unbuilt wonders are buildings of great beauty and individual form like Etienne-Louis Boullée’s enormous spherical monument to Isaac Newton; some, such as the city plans of Le Corbusier, seem to want to teach us how to live; some, like El Lissitsky’s ‘horizontal skyscrapers’ and Gaudí’s curvaceous New York hotel, turn architectural convention upside-down; some, such as Archigram’s Walking City and Plug-in City, are bizarre and inspiring by turns. All are captured in this magnificently illustrated book.

Alan Partridge: Big Beacon
“Not only has Alan Partridge created an entirely new storytelling structure, it’s very funny indeed.” Jon Ronson
‘Partridge… has become the man our time deserves. Aha!’ The Times
In Big Beacon, Norwich’s favourite son and best broadcaster, Alan Partridge, triumphs against the odds. TWICE.
Using an innovative ‘dual narrative’ structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits.
But then something quite unexpected and moving, because Big Beacon also tells the story of a selfless man, driven to restore an old lighthouse to its former glory, motivated by nothing more than respect for a quietly heroic old building that many take for granted, which some people think is a metaphor for Alan himself even though it’s not really for them to say.*
Leaving his old life behind and relocating to a small coastal village in Kent, Alan battles through adversity, wins the hearts and minds of a suspicious community, and ultimately shows himself to be a quite wonderful man.
* The two strands will run in tandem, their narrative arcs mirroring each other to make the parallels between the two stories abundantly clear to the less able reader.

How to Read London: A crash course in London Architecture
Over 2,000 years of settlement give London its unique architectural heritage. Unlike Haussmann’s Paris, neither monarch nor politician imposed their will; private ownership and enterprise shaped the city and defined its parts. Elegant West End squares and crescents hallmark the Classical townscape that emerged between 1600 and 1830, but medieval, Tudor and Victorian enclaves identified by occupation, class or guild make their own design statement, notably in the City and East End. From its renewal after the Great Fire of 1666 as a centre of commerce, culture, finance and as a railway hub, the seat of power and law, How to Read London reveals through the built environment how London’s domestic, civic and commercial landscape has evolved and adapted from imperial capital to global city.Read more

Different Aspects: The magical memoir from the West End legend – the perfect Christmas gift
UNLOCK THE MAGIC OF THEATRE THIS CHRISTMAS – GO BEHIND THE CURTAIN WITH WEST END LEGEND, MICHAEL BALL IN HIS FIRST MEMOIR‘Love, laughter and tears abound in this warm, entertaining read’ Woman and Home
‘Glittering’ Daily Mail
‘Wonderful’ The Sun
In 1989, a young Michael Ball landed the lead role in the musical Aspects of Love. It was a moment that changed his life forever. It was the first time he worked with legends of the stage like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn; the show featured his smash hit song,Love Changes Everything, which rode high in the charts for 15 weeks; it was then, also, that he first met his long-term partner Cathy McGowan and battled back against the stage fright that had threatened his career. Over three decades later, Michael returned to a new production of the same show where he made his name, and with a lifetime’s worth of stories to tell.
InDifferent Aspects, Michael takes us backstage inside the making of a West End hit, while also diving back into his memories to share untold anecdotes and explore a glittering career that has made him a household name – from his first stage experiences in Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera, to delighting and shocking his audiences in equal measure in Hairspray and Sweeney Todd, as well as his chart-topping musical success (and some howlers too!). Exploring Michael’s life, career and relationships alongside the pitfalls and pratfalls of modern theatre, Different Aspects is the story of a life lived on the stage. There will be laughter, tears and an abundance of heart. There’s even some Roger Moore, though, famously, not quite enough.
Take your seats ladies and gentlemen, the lights are dimming, the performance is about to start.
Readers are loving Different Aspects…
‘A very funny, insightful glimpse of the highs and lows of a musical theatre star’
‘If you love Michael Ball, you’ll love this’
‘His story made me smile’

交際應酬、互盡友誼、彼此密切往來。（臺詞辭典）
街境守望、社區聯防、友境出陣、誼廟互挺。（《臺南府城聯境組織研究》）
五百年前，西方社會幾乎所有人都擁有對神或魔性力量的信仰，至今這種信仰只是眾多選項之一。五百年後，經過西方和日本的殖民、政權交替，臺灣民間信仰與廟宇文化中的交陪組織，至今仍維持活力不墜，影響著庶民社會的文化藝術表現語彙。
本書作者龔卓軍任教於臺南藝術大學藝術創作理論研究所，為近年臺灣最具能量、創意和影響力的藝術學者及策展人之一。 二〇一七年在臺南蕭壠文化園區策展之「近未來的交陪：蕭壠國際當代藝術節」，以紮實的田野調查先行，將臺灣民俗與宗教文化以藝術理論、美學觀點梳理廓清，並邀集跨域藝術家進行創作上的精彩交陪對作，令此展備受好評迴響，引起廣泛討論，並獲第十六屆台新藝術獎年度大獎肯定。此後作者延續策展及書寫藝術評論不輟，逐步建構出臺灣獨有的「交陪美學」概念。
本書為作者繼二〇〇七年《身體部署》的當代哲學理論之後，首度集結系列評論，直陳其十年策展實踐內蘊的藝術理論，讓地方文化面向世界文化，藉廟會藝術提煉當代藝術，從民間廟宇之間的動態「交陪境」，打造出一條屬於臺灣文化蘊育的獨特美學思路。
書中分成「理論」、「影像」、「展演」、「跨域」四大部分，以系列性的策展研究書寫，構築爬梳「交陪美學」的深層內涵，試圖探討當代藝術和民間藝術之間的交互滲透和內在張力，勾勒出藝術話語新路徑。

Advertising: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
How advertising works is not a question that has a simple answer. Advertising is a diverse entity and different campaigns work (or fail to work) in a plethora of different ways. Most advertising persuades people to buy things, but how? And who does it aim to persuade? And how are these decisions made? In this Very Short Introduction Winston Fletcher, an expert with extensive knowledge of advertising from the inside, aims to answer these questions, and in doing so, dispels some of the myths and misunderstandings surrounding the industry.The book contains a short history of advertising and an explanation of how the industry works, and how each of the parties (the advertisers , the media and the agencies) are involved. It considers the extensive spectrum of advertisers and their individual needs. It also looks at the financial side of advertising and asks how advertisers know if they have been successful, or whether the money they have spent has in fact been wasted.
Fletcher concludes with a discussion about the controversial and unacceptable areas of advertising such as advertising products to children and advertising products such as cigarettes and alcohol. He also discusses the benefits of advertising and what the future may hold for the industry.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

The biographies of the most notable and celebrated actors are also explored, right up to the present day. In this book, Ackroyd gives us an original and superbly entertaining appraisal of how actors have acted – and how audiences have responded – since the medieval period, and what we mean by the ‘magic of the stage’.Read more
