A large-format board-book sequel to Homma's seminal photobook Tokyo SuburbiaOver six years, Japanese photographer Takashi Homma (born 1962) photographed the Tokyo landscape and cityscape in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Tokyo Olympia, a continuation and reinterpretation of Homma's seminal book Tokyo Suburbia, and likewise designed as a large-format board book, features images that capture the massive scale of the megalopolis. One of the sites documented is the old National Stadium, chronicling its transformation into the new National Stadium, and another is the Tsukiji Market just before its relocation to Toyosu Market.Homma's photography possesses a uniquely cool gaze that rejects any sentimentality and portrays its subjects with a characteristic sense of distance and cool tonality; he has received acclaim not only in the world of photography but also contemporary art. This volume's canonical (and extremely collectible) 1998 precursor, Tokyo Suburbia, was awarded the Kimura Ihei Commemorative Photography Award in 1999.

Haring's humorous drawings envision New York as the city of the phallusSynonymous with the 1980s downtown New York art scene and embraced by popular culture for his peppy line drawings of dancing figures, Keith Haring (1958-90) blended a cheery optimism and an active sense of humor with a populist, activist commitment in his work. Arriving in New York in 1978 to study at the School of Visual Arts, he experimented with performance, video, installation and collage, and found himself increasingly involved in an alternative art community that showed its work in the streets and nightclubs; Haring himself would find a uniquely effective platform for his drawings in the unused advertising panels scattered throughout the subway system.Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks collects one singular series of Haring's drawings: a series of cartoonish penises inspired by the city of Manhattan, made in the late 1970s. Sometimes the inspiration is quite literal, as in a drawing of the Twin Towers reimagined as two erect penises. Other times, the relation is more atmospheric, as in the drawing of a frenzied mass of penises evoking the hustle and bustle of the city but also recalling the dynamism of Futurist painting, captioned "Drawing penises in front of The Museum of Modern Art."

Selected Lyrics is the debut print publication of acclaimed Los Angeles songwriter Ariel Pink (born 1978), as the first survey of lyrics by his band, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. It provides lyrics for Pink's most classic material that, famously, has been so difficult to comprehend by ear, due to his emphatically lo-fidelity recording practices. With 37 lyrics culled from both well-known and obscure releases, the songs in Selected Lyrics span the entirety of Ariel Pink's recorded output, and together comprise a kind of "best-of," a one-stop tour of the musician's recurrent themes and fascinations. Pink's tragic dramas of domestic pain come to life in "L'estat (acc. To the widow's maid)" and the beloved tunes "Envelopes Another Day," "Among Dreams" and "Life in L.A." Included in the volume are several pages of handwritten, animated lyrics, a reproduction of drawings by Ariel Pink and a thorough discography.

Call Ampersand Response is a collaborative artwork by Canadian artists Michael Dumontier (born 1960) and Micah Lexier (born 1974), composed of images exchanged via email over a period of several months--scans of book covers, found objects, drawings and illustrations from each artist's collection.

A dark but colorful view of a modern world gone topsy-turvySwiss artist Emanuel Halpern (born 1948) is an unlikely harbinger of the apocalypse. Inspired Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Halpern has created 50 large-scale colored pencil drawings that comically narrate the destruction of Dieselbrugg. Bold and graphic, this illustrated book presents a dark but colorful view of a modern world gone topsy-turvy.
