Hardcover. Condition: Good. In this whimsical look at the most important accessory of men's fashion, Marc Solal has created 30 portraits of ties and imagined who their owners would be. The styles of these different ties represent the trends of the day and humorously correspond to the key characters of our modern world. Stories behind the ties: Thomas - "I love this tie more than any other. My son, Valentin, gave it to me for Father's Day." Jerome - "It sounds stupid, but I like this tie because I stole it from a big department store. For me it's a souvenir of that adventure." Ludovic - "Almost all of my ties were given to me as presents, for my birthday, Christmas or some other holiday. But this one, I chose myself. It's the one I wear most often." Henry - "I only have one tie. I keep it as a souvenir but I never wear it. I keep it in case I have to wear a tie one day."

No binding. Condition: Good. Images associated with leather range from the foul-smelling pelts that protected prehistoric cave dwellers from the elements to leather garments chiseled as finely as precious gems by such designers as Jean-Paul Gaultier and John Galliano. As a living material that's sculpted into unique relief by the body's own habits, leather has metamorphosed into countless styles throughout the 20th century, from the tough virility of the biker fraternity to fetishistic corselets that symbolize unabashed luxury or a return to the rustic. Leather is a second skin that reveals our identity, defies the seasons and stays with us for years, even across generations. Leather bears witness to the turmoils of a century torn between the frantic quest for progress and longing for the values of humanity. At a time when our beliefs in progress are being seriously undermined by terrorist attacks and medical or financial scandals, high-tech materials have gone back to the athletics track whil leather in its many different guises has come to embody the fashion of the third millennium as a symbol of authenticity and a return to basic values.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A beautiful collection of the work of contemporary artist Louise Lawler, who, for the past twenty years, has photographed art as it is situated and displayed, whether in private homes, public buildings, or museums, galleries, and auction houses. From an exhibition of Degas's materpieces to an Andy Warhol installation, this book invites you to discover Lawler's unique vision of modern and contemporary art. Lawler is fascinated by what "happens" to the art object after it leaves the artist's studio - where it goes, how it's displayed, how it's valued, what it means. In a Lawler photograph taken in a private home, the furnishings and objects surrounding the art are given as much attention as the art; in a museum, the view out of a window next to the artwork; in an auction house, the label identifying the artwork. Her striking and provocative photographs show us how the environment that surrounds it affects our perception of art and how it in turn affects all aspects of that environment.
