Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Royal Academy's legendary Summer Exhibition has been an annual event since 1769, making it the longest-running art exhibition of its kind. The exhibition, which includes paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, architectural design, photography and models, is the largest open-submission show in the UK. First published in the 1870s, the Summer Exhibition Illustrated presents the highlights of each year's selection. The Royal Academicians on the Hanging Committee in 2019 include Stephen Chambers, Anne Desmet, Bob and Roberta Smith and Richard Wilson. Together they will decide which artists - professional and amateur alike - will have the chance to display and to sell their work in the galleries of Burlington House, to be seen by thousands of visitors. The painter Jock McFadyen RA will co-ordinate the Summer Exhibition this year. His essay explains his ideas for the show and provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into this idiosyncratic fixture of the London calendar. The Summer Exhibition will run from the 10 June to 13 August 2019. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Exploring the central elements of Aztec culture, including the cosmos, religion, kingship, warfare, sacrifice and the natural world, in essays by leading Mexican, European and American scholars, and containing specially commissioned illustrations of hundreds of previously unphotographed works, this magnificent catalogue will serve as the greatest ever publication on this extraordinary empire. Undoubtedly the publishing event of the year, this book will complement the most breathtaking exhibition of 2002-2003: the first exhibition in Britain to be specifically dedicated to the Aztecs. This remarkable people and their artistic legacy will not be considered in isolation: the exhibition will also examine pre-Aztec civilisations and the cultural impact of the Spanish invasion in 1521. Among the many objects on show will be monumental stone and wood sculptures, polychrome ceramics, gold jewellery, turquoise and featherwork objects. The exhibition will also feature several of the most important illustrated Pre-Columbian codices and early colonial pictorial manuscripts. These extraordinary books contain a visual account of Aztec life and provide an alternative history to contemporary Spanish accounts of the Conquest and subsequent colonisation.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This summer 2016 publication brings together the recent body of work by David Hockney, perhaps the most popular and versatile British artist of the last century. Following his sweeping exploration of landscape in the Royal Academy's galleries in 2012, this focused display will look exclusively at the portraits he has been painting in the last few years - the subjects of which are friends, family and art-world luminaries. After the sad events that touched his life in 2012, Hockney had stopped painting altogether. His move from Yorkshire to California coincided with his decision to revisit acrylic paints and bold colours. Vibrant, observant and full of life, these portraits mark a return to vivid, Technicolor form. Incisive text from Tim Barringer places these works within Hockney's development as a portrait painter, while curator Edith Devaney interviews the artist about the series, which he describes as 'twenty-hour exposures', in reference to the time each portrait takes to paint. The book will show the stages of each painting, from first to last mark, to give the reader a unique insight into Hockney's working method. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
