| | the art world's favorite source for books and exhibition catalogues on art & culture from leading museum publishers and international imprints GIFTS FOR GRADS 2013: 50 Perfect Choices for Recent Graduates!  Miranda di Carcaci | Date: 6/18/2013 Last month, PIN-UP magazine hosted a standing-room-only panel discussion with Fire Island Modernist author Chris Rawlins, architect Charles Renfro, New Museum Deputy Director Karen Wong, architect Matthias Hollwich and designer Rafael de Cardenas at The Standard Highline. The occasion launched our hottest architecture book of the summer.Cory Reynolds | Date: 6/12/2013 Over the years, we at ARTBOOK | D.A.P. have spent countless hours searching the internet for information about upcoming American museum exhibitions. Our research was always piecemeal, as no single site offered a comprehensive overview with links to the shows and related publications. So we took matters into our own hands, and developed an interactive Museum Exhibition Schedule page -- which we are pleased to finally share with you!Erin C. Dunigan | Date: 6/8/2013 Book Expo America (BEA) is somewhat like a family reunion… or at least our annual party is. There’s nothing quite like gathering together on a Manhattan rooftop, while the sun is setting, and eating passed hors d'oeuvres with 200+ of your colleagues and friends. Yup, that's right, one big crazy book-loving family.
Cory Reynolds | Date: 6/7/2013 This week, our own Erin Dunigan began blogging for the NYC literary magazine, Slice. Her first contribution to the Encounters in Publishing feature is online now!Jane Brown | Date: 6/4/2013 Join us, Saturday June 8th from 11AM-5PM at our NEW Downtown Los Angeles location.

| | |  Featured image, of a vintage motel postcard, is reproduced from Grand Hotel, the Vancouver Art Gallery's fascinating and glamorous new study of the evolution of the hotel as "a veritable laboratory of modern life." In his chapter on hotels and motels in postcards, Peter White writes, "Hotels and motels are notorious as sites in which to temporarily park the decorum, if not the inhibitions, of the everyday. Pleasure, escape, eroticism, exoticism, fantasy, sociability, appetites of various kinds, certain ideas of beauty—you name it, hotels and motels have always been there to indulge the senses on which these desires are focused. Thus, one finds, for example, images of bon vivants cocktailing in rooftop hotel lounges; food—preferably lots of it—served in swanky settings; erotically nuanced swimming pools and exotically themed motel and hotel bars. Brilliantly executed, they must surely constitute the best kitsch money can buy."

FEATURED LIBRARY Information design pioneer Edward Tufte sums up the ever-increasing relevance of graphic design to our times with his observation that “clutter is a failure of design, not an attribute of information.” In the golden age of paraphernalia, it falls to the graphic designer to clarify the clutter, and the ability to compose visual and linguistic data so that it grabs both eye and mind determines the success of just about every merchandized product, from a flyer in the mailbox to the web. Historically, graphic design has also defined the look of entire avant-garde art movements and even whole eras, through album art and movie posters. Below is a selection of our finest monographs and surveys on graphic design, from modernist Italian travel posters to web design. continue
