Some great deals there. Phaidon produce some gorgeous books.
But it does seem that the deals are only if you are a member of their Friends scheme. Have I understood that correctly?

You just need to enter the code FAMILY and the discount should be applied. 50 titles added today apparently, I ordered a few bits at the weekend but may have to grab a couple more now that more has been added! Love Phaidon books generally, a few really good offers in there. Thanks for the NPG link on the previous page Coach, have been enjoying the 21st Century Portraits book a lot. |

Recommended Art Books, by Feral Things on Jun 20, 2016 19:03:25 GMT 1, I know 'A B C D'air' by Dran has been already been mentioned in the Tiens show thread but I just wanted to say a big thank you to the thoughtful and very generous forum member that sent a copy to me over the weekend. It's a beautiful book and the simplicity of the concept (a painting for each letter of the alphabet) helps to get across the strength of his work perfectly. The images included are a nice, representative overview of his work includes paintings from the current show. There's seven Dran books in total and they're all worth picking up but I think 'Fabriqué en France' is a favourite from those earlier books.

This entitles you to further discounts and seems to earn you points based on the RRP rather than the price paid in the sale. Just saved an additional £15!

And you don't need to be a "friend" of Phaidon to take advantage of this offer? It's open to the general public?

The books includes tags by pretty much all the most significant early writers including Cornbread, Taki 183, Stay High 149, Topcat 164, Ex Vandals, Lee and Futura 2000, in fact Julio 204 is about the only obvious name missing. There's also some beautiful photos of Basquiat and Haring's wall writing. 'Urban Calligraphy and Beyond' by Markus Mai also covers handstyles but this time from around the millennium.

Recommended Art Books, by Feral Things on Jul 1, 2016 19:49:27 GMT 1, 'Wall Writers: Graffiti in Its Innocence' by Roger Gastman is one of the most meticulously researched and beautifully put together books that I've read and I would strongly recommend it to anyone. It covers the period between the birth of graffiti up until about 1973 i.e. before anyone even thought about selling any work and hence the subtitle. There's in-depth interviews with almost all the pioneers as well as old adverts for spraypaint, newspaper cuttings and a wealth of photos from the period. 'Golden Boy as Anthony Cool' by Herbert Kohl also covers the same period but it was published contemporaneously back in 1972 and was the first book published about graffiti.

Although 'Golden Boy as Anthony Cool' by Herbert Kohl (which I posted about above) was the first book about wall writing in the tradition of Cornbread, Taki etc., before that there was 'Graffiti: Selected Scrawls From Bathroom Walls' by Robert Reisner which was published back in 1967. The title kind of says everything you need to know really but if you can't get enough of people writing on the walls in public toilets then there's also 'Women In The John' by Susanna Shaw from 1978.

Larger than the usual art book, hardback, and runs to 600 pages.
Created in conjunction with the artist. Includes many of his photos and interviews with him about his work.
Published by Taschen.

Jonone explains how he ended up moving to Paris, Lady Pink talks about being one of the few female writers back then and Skeme explains how he got his name. They all come across as incredibly humble and it's a great little read on a summer's evening.
