As far as early concept books go, this one has a unique perspective. It’s a visual journey through Ellsworth Kelly’s artwork exploring pairs of opposites such huge/tiny, empty/full, top/bottom and apart/together. The antonym pairs are presented clearly and succinctly with a good measure of playfulness and humor. Smart, well done and not your ordinary book about basic concepts. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Up, Down & Other Opposites with Ellsworth Kelly was written and created in partnership with the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation and is the fifth title in the First Concepts with Fine Artists series published by Phaidon.

Food has always brought us together and our families’ culinary heritage is a part of who we are. Food memories are some of our most salient memories. Almost everyone has a handful that bring them back to a warm kitchen with one or more family members bent over a boiling pot on the stove and hurriedly chopping a pungent something or another on the butcher block. In The Immigrant Cookbook, the contributing chefs share their families’ stories, their food and their hearts. It’s a celebration of diversity and who we are as a country.
The recipes in The Immigrant Cookbook were collected and edited by Leyla Moushabeck and published by Interlink Books.
