Culture is like a language. Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it. In 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone. He wrote about poetry, paintings, building design, and counter-intuitive but fascinating facts about history and geography. It wasn’t the sort of content you usually find on a newsfeed. Taught in forty-nine short lessons, Sheehan takes listeners on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture.

The Nature of Fashion is an epic sweep through history, revealing how plants have been used to make and dye our clothes. Textiles have transformed the human world–and the natural world. Now we need to re-root clothes-making in plants, rather than plastic, to find a new material future. Fashion is at a turning point–to look forward, we need to look back.

A radical new treatise on time, quantum physics, and racial justice from world-renowned artist and advocate Rasheedah Phillips of Black Quantum Futurism.

Granny Takes A Trip was more than just a shop and a fashion brand; it was the original rock and roll clothes boutique, the template for all that followed. What started as an odd retail venture/art installation in a depressed part of London known as World's End became an international byword for glam decadence in Manhattan and Hollywood, combining flamboyant style and all manner of countercultural activity to attract everyone from Pattie Boyd, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg to Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, the Beatles, and Lou Reed.

The volatile years of England's Tudor dynasty (1485–1603) and the five monarchs who ruled England during this period continue to fascinate and intrigue. Thanks to the paintings of artists like Hans Holbein, we have very definitive ideas about the appearance and personalities of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and her successor Elizabeth I. It is through their eyes of artists that we still see the dynasty which ruled England for just over a century.

In 1900, Britain and America were in the grip of a cat craze. An animal that had for centuries been seen as a household servant or urban nuisance had now become an object of pride and deep affection. From presidential and royal families who imported exotic breeds to working-class men competing for cash prizes for the fattest tabby, people became enthralled to the once-humble cat. Cats themselves were now traded for increasingly large sums of money, bolstered by elaborate pedigrees that claimed noble ancestry and promised aesthetic distinction.

Madame Grès : qui se cache derrière la célèbre créatrice au turban, icône de la mode pendant plus d'un demi-siècle ? Mondialement reconnue pour ses drapés antiques, elle pare Marlène Dietrich, Barbra Streisand ou Silvana Mangano de robes somptueuses, et s'entoure d'artistes comme Jean Cocteau ou Tamara de Lempicka. Ses clientes et amies comptent parmi les femmes au coeur du pouvoir : Jackie Kennedy, Liliane Bettencourt, Marella Agnelli, la princesse Grace de Monaco... Travailleuse passionnée, le "sphinx" dirige avec panache la Maison Grès, 1 rue de la Paix, qu'elle a créée en 1934.

This is the first book to closely examine the curatorial work that the celebrated poet Frank O'Hara (1926-1966) undertook for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and abroad. Upon his premature death, the New York Times obituary ran with the headline: 'Frank O'Hara, 40, Museum Curator / Exhibitions Aide at Modern Art Dies – Also a Poet'. However, in the half a century since, O'Hara's fascinating career as a curator has been eclipsed by the critical attention given over to his poetry.
