THE TOASTER PROJECT: OR A
HEROIC ATTEMPT TO BUILD A SIMPLE
ELECTRIC APPLIANCE FROM SCRATCH
Thomas Thwaites
“Hello, my name is Thomas Thwaites, and I have made
a toaster.” Thwaites’s homemade toaster — a haunting
and strangely beautiful object — cost 250 times more
than the toaster he bought at the store and involved
close to two thousand miles of travel to some of
Britain’s remotest locations. The Toaster Project may
seem foolish, even insane. Yet, Thwaites’s quixotic
tale, told with self-deprecating wit, helps us reflect on
the costs and perils of our cheap consumer culture.
$29.95
A BIGGER MESSAGE: CONVERSATIONS
WITH DAVID HOCKNEY
Martin Gayford
How does drawing make one “see things clearer, and
clearer, and clearer still” as Hockney suggests
What significance do differing media – from a Lascaux
cave wall to an iPad – have for the way we see What
is the relationship between the images we make
and the reality around us In this remarkable book,
a record of a decade of private conversations with
acclaimed art critic, Martin Gayford, Hockney reveals
the fruits of his lifelong meditations on the problems
and paradoxes of representing a three-dimensional
world on a flat surface. $37.95
AUTUMN LAING
Alex Miller
Written with compassion and intelligence, this
energetic, funny and wise novel peels back the layers
of storytelling and asks what truth has to do with it.
Autumn Laing is an unflinchingly intimate portrait of
a woman and her time - she is unforgettable. Laing
has long outlived the legendary circle of artists she
cultivated in the 1930s. Now ‘old and skeleton gaunt’,
she reflects on her tumultuous relationship with
the talented Pat Donlon and the effect it had on her
husband, on Pat’s wife and the body of work which
launched Pat’s career. $39.95

LATEST BIOGRAPHIES
THE POT BOOK
Edmund De Waal
The Pot Book is the first publication to document the
extraordinary range and variety of ceramic vessels
of all periods. From a delicate bowl made by an
unnamed artisan in China in the third millennium BC,
or a jug made in eighteenth-century Dresden, to a
plate made by Picasso in 1952, a ‘spade form’ made
by Hans Coper or the vases of Grayson Perry today.

Hare with Amber Eyes and his porcelain is in thirty
international museum collections. $59.95
BEAUTIFUL UGLY: THE ARCHITECTURAL
PHOTOGRAPHY OF JOHN GOLLINGS
Joe Rollo
Beautiful Ugly takes a look, in words, pictures and
recollections, at the art of Gollings’ photography as he
has made his remarkable journey around Australia’s
architectural landscape. Expressed through Gollings’
own knowledge and understanding of architecture,
light, weather and how buildings inhabit their sites,
a Gollings’ photograph reveals a great deal about the
aspirations, aims and beliefs, and the zeitgeist of a
building and its architect’s intentions. $120
TJUKURRTJANU:
ORIGINS OF WESTERN DESERT ART
Judith Ryan and Philip Batty
The Papunya artists’ bold initial experiments,
in committing ceremonial designs that are
tjukurrtjanu (from the Dreaming) onto board,
marked the beginning of a modern painting
movement that would change the face of
Australian art forever. Drawing on the expertise
of leading anthropologists, art historians and
field officers, Tjukurrtjanu offers insightful
perspectives on the artists and the iconography
of their complex and intimate paintings. $69.95
VAN GOGH: THE LIFE

life – and the inside of his troubled mind – like never
before. Drawing for the first time on all of his (and
his family’s) extensive letters, which offer exquisite
glimpses into his thoughts and feelings, this is the
definitive portrait of one of the world’s cultural
giants. $59.95

OF FAME, 1475-1534
Michael Hirst

be the definitive modern biography of Michelangelo.
Written by the leading Michelangelo scholar this
prodigiously informative account benefits from
recent archival discoveries and restorations, and is
enriched by material from the long-awaited editions
of the artist’s correspondence and artistic contracts.
The wealth of new information enables new light
to be shed on the genesis of Michelangelo’s works
in sculpture, painting and architecture, and on his
complex psychological relations with his family,
friends and powerful patrons. $49.95
MODIGLIANI: A LIFE
Meryle Secrest
Written with unprecedented access to letters, diaries,
and photographs never before seen, this book is an
extraordinary revelation of a life lived in art … Here
is Modigliani, the man and the artist, seemingly shy,
delicate, a man on a desperate mission, masquerading
as an alcoholic, cheating death again and again,
and calculating what he had to do in order to go on
working and concealing his secret for however much
time remained. $45
