Lulu's Provencal Table
Of all of the culinary treasures that Richard Olney brought home from France for his American audience, the spritely and commanding Lulu Peyraud is perhaps the most noteworthy. A second-generation proprietor of Provence’s noted vineyard Domaine Tempier, and producer of some of the region’s best wines and meals, Lulu has for over 50 years been Provence’s best-kept secret. Mother of seven, Lulu still owns and operates Domaine Tempier with her family, serving up wit and warmth with remarkable food year-round at the vineyard. Hosting a parade of American tastemakers like Alice Waters, Paul Bertolli, Gerald Asher, Paula Wolfert, and Kermit Lynch through the years, Lulu has willingly shared her sweeping culinary knowledge, wisdom, and resourcefulness with anyone who stopped by. In LULU’S PROVENÇAL TABLE, Olney, who shared an unguarded friendship with Lulu, relays the everyday banter, lessons, and over 150 core recipes that have emerged from her kitchen. Peppered with over 75 photographs, Olney’s tribute aptly celebrates the spirit and gifts of this culinary legend..

Glenn Brown
Looking at the work of Glenn Brown, one gets the feeling that this is what contemporary painting should be like: Brown's canvases play with our perceptions, appropriate and reconfigure past works, and offer intoxicating visions of our future-present. While some of his works seem to combine the influence of Gerhard Richter with science-fiction graphics, others are "re-paintings" of works by Rembrandt, de Kooning, Dali, Fragonard and Appel. This new monograph surveys Brown's recent output of remarkably vibrant works that combine the appeal of the best in pop culture--like New Order songs and Bladerunner--with the highs of the best visual art..

Beatriz Milhazes
Colorful as Carmen Miranda, the paintings of Beatriz Milhazes are a malange of iconographic Brazilian imagery, drawing from folk art, crafts, jewelry, tropical nature, and the splash of carnival, all funneled through a modernist sensibility. Vibrant swirls, bold stripes, and intricate rosettes show both delicacy and sweep in a practice situated somewhere between figuration and abstraction. "Color is the core of my work," Milhazes says in an extensive interview with fashion designer Christian Lacroix included in this compact catalogue covering paintings from 1996 to 2004, originally exhibited at the Domaine de Kerguehennec in Bignon, France. An essay by Simon Wallis of the Institute of Contemporary Art in London and an introduction by Fradaric Paul place this recent work within the context of her oeuvre..
