Surveying over five decades of shimmering, gold leaf-coated tapestries from an underappreciated master of textile artColombian artist Olga de Amaral (born 1932) makes large-scale textiles and woven walls of fabric that incorporate the use of gold and silver leaf, evoking gilded churches and byzantine mosaics. This volume accompanies her inaugural exhibition at Lisson Gallery, showcasing a selection of her works since the 1960s.

Recent works by the great exponent of hard-edged architectural abstractionThis publication highlights a selection of works by Cuban American artist Carmen Herrera (born 1915) from the past decade. At 105 years old, Herrera has developed her signature geometric style over the course of decades spent in New York City and postwar Paris, as well as her hometown of Havana; however, it was only in the early 2000s that she began to receive acclaim for her work. The origins of her process trace back to her early studies in architecture at the Universidad de La Habana in Cuba from 1938 to 1939. She often credits this training as where she learned to draw and to think abstractly, stating, "I wouldn't paint the way I do if I hadn't gone to architecture school." While Herrera's process is often characterized by meticulous constraint and distillation of color and shape, it is perhaps best described as a perfect synergy of artistic and scientific creativity.

A contemporary history painter addresses the pandemicChinese artist Liu Xiaodong (born 1963) has been addressing radical shifts in society such as population displacement and environmental crisis for over three decades. This publication features a series of watercolor paintings that document the changing landscape of New York City during the height of the pandemic.

Stacking as sculptural procedure across five decades of Cragg's artThis career-spanning publication focuses on the history of Tony Cragg's (born 1949) Stack works that began in the late 1960s, when, as a student, he began piling up miscellaneous and recycled detritus from the studio in order to create large rectilinear sculptures that refuted the usual clean lines of minimalism.

Colour inspires and informs the work of Stanley Whitney (b. 1946, Philadelphia, USA) whose paintings explore the many possibilities created by the tessellation and juxtaposition of irregular rectangles in varying shades of strength and subtlety. Within the composition of these adjacent nodes - a structure that fluctuates between freedom and constraint, between endless open fields and controlled boundaries - is ultimately a play between complementing and competing areas of colour. Produced in a unique size, identical to the scale of Whitney's smallest 12 inch square paintings, In the Color investigates his profound relationship to colour and its spatial effects throughout his career. Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Stanley Whitney: In the Color at Lisson Gallery, New York (3 November - 21 December 2018).
