Art books bring me so much joy; I have a little bit of a problem in that I can’t stop buying them. You can see more of my favorite art books (and coffee table books) in this post. I pile them high and for me, there is no better way to spend a Sunday morning than sitting at home in my pajamas with one of these books and a big mug of a coffee.
Phaidon’s brand new book PRIME was an instant favorite. I tend to rotate my art books between my shelves and coffee table so that I always have something different to look at, but I can’t seem to bear to put this one back on the shelf. The book highlights 107 artists born since 1980… the most innovative and interesting contemporary artists. It’s sort of a who’s who and what’s next… tomorrow’s superstars, and the artists that we should all be getting to know. It’s also just a beautiful book: the neon color + clear vinyl casing make it a real eye catcher; you will want to keep it at the top of your book pile to show it off! You can order a copy here on Amazon!
The Farrah hoops are lovely–so many pretty things!
Whoopsie–totally wrong comment! :S But it gives me an opportunity to say I absolutely agree that a cup of coffee and a great art book sounds like an IDEAL way to spend a morning! I was lucky enough to visit The Hermitage in St. Petersburg three years ago and just barely scratched the surface–I bought several art books and a biography of the museum to go a little deeper. Visiting a gallery or an art museum when I am traveling (hoping to do that again soon!) really creates a special memory of a place!
That sounds absolutely LOVELY!!
