This subspecies has distinct features that are the result of thousands of years of evolution, making it perfectly suited to the deserts and mountains of Arabia. An essay by wildlife conservationist Andrew Spalton charts the animal's epic journey from Africa to Arabia over the course of half a million years, highlighting its history and its current, critically endangered status. Imagery of the Arabian leopard as a symbol of strength, freedom and fearlessness has been found in ancient rock art, mosaics and paintings over the centuries, cementing its position as a revered and respected animal in Saudi Arabia and the world.  The Royal Commission for AlUla has been focusing on wildlife conservation to protect this subspecies through the creation of the Arabian Leopard Fund. Key to these efforts is raising awareness about these beautiful cats, to galvanise local and international support for their protection. To this end, two editions of the books are available - a Classic and an Ultimate - featuring original artworks and photographs that capture the enduring spirit of the Arabian leopard.  AUTHOR: Andrew Spalton has thirty years of experience in wildlife conservation, with a specific focus on Arabian leopards. He co-authored The Arabian Leopards of Oman (2014) and remains involved in the conservation of this endangered subspecies.  100 illustrations  Silk Hardcover\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781649800794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Assouline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 33(H)x24.4(L)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Ariel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46512098115801,"sku":"9781649800794","price":220.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/18137182_38438690_2048.webp?v=1746712523"},{"product_id":"new-york-chic","title":"New York Chic","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTake a trip to New York City, with Assouline as your guide.

Indeed, Shilling derives much inspiration from her childhood obsession with Frank and the design style of after-school crafts‚Äîimagery that connotes comfort and innocence. Unlike the works of Frank, however, Shilling‚Äôs painted characters contain imperfections, a sense of vulnerability and weariness that adults know all too well.

If the child in Madonna and child paintings sym-bolises truth, then the pregnant virgin might represent a temporarily concealed truth - one masked or hidden behind compromised shells and failing bodies, young and old. The photographs in this arresting new collection negotiate surface and interiority and welcome tensions between contingent reality and archetypes, often uncannily recalling day-to-day life in intensely physical and opaquely allusive scenes.  Constructed with characteristic precision and an instinct for surrealism and surprise, this sequence feeds on symbolism and visual texture in a sense reminiscent of classic 'art' photography or religious painting, but its self-conscious edge gives it a distinct and hard-to-fathom charge. With The Pregnant Virgin, Rodland explores analogue photography in dialogue both with online digital culture and visual art from before photography existed as a stable medium.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781915743060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: MACK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Torbjorn Rodland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46512542417113,"sku":"9781915743060","price":119.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/9781915743060_0b16b094-db60-49da-986a-0498e034d883.jpg?v=1746712447"},{"product_id":"basquiat-x-warhol-paintings-4-hands","title":"Basquiat x Warhol: Paintings 4 Hands","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new exhibition catalogue of Fondation Louis Vuitton on the most important exhibition ever devoted to the collaborative work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol.\u003c\/p\u003e\"I draw first, and then I paint like Jean-Michel.

Tra albe e tramonti offers a brilliant account of Luigi Ghirri's relationship with Puglia - a distinctive region at the heel of Italy, which was pivotal in establishing Ghirri's career and continued to inspire him throughout it. A first visit in 1982 introduced Ghirri to Puglia's whitewashed streets, luminescent nights, doorways and arches, potted cacti, funfairs, and beaches, as well as a group of artists, critics, and curators who would become his close friends and collaborators. Over the following decade, Ghirri returned to the area almost every year, photographing, exhibiting, and deepening his understanding of its subtle terrain. These photographs, almost all of which are little-known and previously unpublished, capture the textures and rhythms of urban life, delighting in visual coincidence and tactile detail. Their sense of quiet discovery - and the colour film on which they are shot - allude warmly to the area's identity as a popular holiday destination. Ghirri maps the Apulian territory via the traces left by its inhabitants and visitors in images flooded with the distinctive light of Southern Italy - the bright sun and its eloquent shadows, and the otherworldly aura of neon and streetlights after dark.

As fashion's resident enfant terrible, known for pushing the label with his daring collections laced with pop culture references and rebellious humour, Scott was a natural fit to revive the 30-year-old Italian label, which made its name on rule-breaking outfits. In the years since he became Moschino's creative director, Scott has sent some of fashion's most playful collections down the runway, drawing inspiration from everything including Barbie, car washes, Looney Toons, and Picasso to create the 'cheap and chic' sensibility they're known for.  Designed in close collaboration with Scott himself, this volume brings to life the world of Moschino as seen through the designer's eyes. Featuring a treasure trove of images from campaigns, editorials, fashion shows, backstage photos, front rows, red carpets, parties, and more, it's all things Moschino, as only Jeremy Scott could do it.  AUTHORS: Jeremy Scott is an American fashion designer born in Kansas City, Missouri. In addition to his eponymous fashion label, he has been the Creative Director of the Italian fashion house Moschino since 2013. After studying fashion at Pratt in New York City Scott moved to Paris, where he worked under Christian Louboutin and Stephen Jones, and caught the attention of Karl Lagerfeld. He showed his first collection during Paris fashion week in 1997, and rapidly gained the industry's approval, while counting the likes of Bjork, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Britney Spears as customers. A constant fixture of the pop scene, he's also gone on to call icons such as Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Miley Cyrus as friends and muses, dressing them for Met Galas, music videos, and Super Bowls.

While these large-format color photographs are made all over the world, they aren‚Äôt about any particular place or population. By a process of intimate and often extended engagement, Soth‚Äôs portraits and images of his subject‚Äôs surroundings involve an enquiry into the extent to which a photographic likeness can depict more than the outer surface of an individual, and perhaps even plumb the depths of something unknowable about both the sitter and the photographer.  ‚ÄúAfter the publication of my last book about social life in America, Songbook, and a retrospective of my four, large scale American projects, Gathered Leaves, I went through a long period of rethinking my creative process. For over a year I stopped traveling and photographing people. I barely took any pictures at all.  When I returned to photography, I wanted to strip the medium down to its primary elements. Rather than trying to make some sort of epic narrative about America, I wanted to simply spend time looking at other people and, hopefully, briefly glimpse their interior life.  In order to try and access these lives, I made all of the photographs in interior spaces.

The project continues Strand‚Äôs decades-long engagement with the scrapbooks, magazines and photographs that she has drawn together since her mid-teens. In this iteration of Strand‚Äôs ongoing research and reflection, women and girls are pictured holding, playing with and gazing fondly at snakes. Key to understanding the intention of the imagery is the inclusion of original accompanying text attached to the reverse, revealing stories of the bizarre and the erotic, alongside Myth and Credo.   Siegfried Kracauer would recognise Strand as a dedicated ‚ÄúRag Picker‚Äù. She describes her working method as being like \"rolling in newly cut grass and seeing what you pick up on your jumper‚Äù. Strand‚Äôs constantly evolving practice brings together intensive research, deadpan humour and insights into popular culture. She shifts from the mysterious and the absurd to understand public obsessions, often via trickery and manipulation.
