Publisher's Notes
With her most recent commission, Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center, architect Zaha Hadid becomes the first woman ever to design an American museum. This long-awaited first monograph on one of the world's most important architects collects Hadid's entire oeuvre -- more than 80 built and unbuilt projects over 20 years -- in one significant volume. Throughout her training at London's Architectural Association, and her work with Rem Koolhaas at OMA, to the establishment of her own worldwide architectural practice, Zaha Hadid has been acclaimed for her vanguard architectonic language. Only a handful of her projects have been built -- all to great critical success -- and each new project astonishes the world of design with its commitment to revolutionary forms and ideas. As a result, she has an enormous following of students and practitioners, visionaries and builders. This groundbreaking monograph contains Hadid's own striking drawings and paintings, as well as hundreds of sketches, plans, and models. Readers will recognize her built work -- the Vitra Fire Station near Basel and the IBA Building in Berlin -- and will welcome details of her competition entry for Chicago's ITT Building, and her winning design for the Cardiff Opera House. With generous commentary by the architect and her office, this is a landmark publication

Nat Tate
by William Boyd
Text by William Boyd. It was while on assignment for a British art magazine that the novelist William Boyd came across a single work by the obscure painter Nat Tate. The work so intrigued Boyd that he began to search out everything he could find about the artist. The result of his endeavor is this book, which tells the fascinating and tragic story of the extremely gifted and unjustly neglected Tate, and includes examples of his work. This is the first book on Tate, an artist who until now had been virtually forgotten. Born on Long Island in 1928, Tate was "discovered" by poet Frank O'Hara in 1952. O'Hara was impressed by the work of the shy and unassuming artist, who was still living with his step parents at the time. Among the pieces Tate created was an epic sequence of drawings based on Hart Crane's The Bridge. Soon after meeting O'Hara, Tate was showing in New York galleries, and was being mentioned alongside the abstract expressionists of that golden post-war period. But Tate's life took a turn for the worse when he returned from France in the summer of 1959. There, he had visited Braque and seems to have had a nervous breakdown. In 1960, Tate threw himself off the Staten Island Ferry, and drowned in the manner of his mentor, Hart Crane.
