This anthology of interdisciplinary essays examines the interlocking themes of artistic authorship, authenticity and legacy from legal, art market and art historical perspectives. It is structured in three sections: Authorship and Artists' Rights; The Artwork, Aura, and Authentication; Legacy and Its Stewards. The book addresses how artistic authorship is iterated over time by various figures, from the artist to the artist's heirs to art experts. It is through the law that artists' rights of authorship are articulated and tested against collectors, dealers, museums and even against other artists and photographers. It is increasingly through the law that conflicts are being resolved in the art market, as it expands (at least at the high end, and despite short-term dips across the world) and as artistic production dramatically increases to meet demand.

Working in London, New York and Cape Town, Roelof Louw (1936-2017) made sculpture from wooden slats, cast iron wedges, sandblasted and painted scaffolding poles, rope and neon; he also anticipated the participatory art of the present.

Acanthus, asymmetrically is both the title of a new site-specific wall piece made by British sculptor Alison Wilding (b. 1948) for her London galleries entrance hall and her accompanying exhibition at the Offer Waterman Gallery (2017). A petite but elegant catalog documents the wall work along with twelve new pieces, ranging from works on paper, pr

In his latest series of collages, John Stezaker explores the edge between caricature and portrait, the real and the incredible. Using a mixture of screen personae drawn from Hollywood's 'golden era', Stezaker's collaged portraits take on an imaginary life of their own. These hybrid characters form an 'unholy marriage' of found material, to play with scale, figure and the viewers' expectations of photographic representation. Accompanying full-colour reproductions, a new essay by Cecilia Järdemar discusses the series' ties to Surrealism, the portraits' power of attraction and the artist's interest in obsolescence.

Showcases oil paintings by British painter and printmaker Christopher Le Brun that develop his long-standing interest in the 'double' - conceptual and embodied duality.

British conceptual artist John Stezaker (b. 1949) is known for his distinctive, often deceptively simple, collages.

German-born artist Bernd Lohaus (19402010) has long been recognized for his minimalist sculptures and paintings. Studying under Joseph Beuys in the 1960s, Lohaus quickly became part of the avant-garde art scene in europe. He moved to Antwerp early in his career, and lived and worked there until his death. Because his signature materials were massive, raw wood installations and chalked words, it was quite surprising when a catalog filled with more than three hundred drawings and watercolors of flowers by Lohaus was discovered. The simple studies, always one flower per page, began in 1963 and continued until his death in 2010. This complete chronology of work, presented in year order, moves from a full facsimile of Lohauss sketchbooks to full-page single works. Thoughtful essays are included by Catherine Mayeur, Baudouin Oosterlynck, Manfred Pernice, narcisse Tordoir, Grard Traquandi, Jolle Tuerlinckx, Philippe van Snick, and James Welling.

With a career spanning over five decades, British painter and printmaker Tess Jaray (b. 1937) has continually explored geometry, color, pattern, and repetition, often inspired by architectural structures. Unlike the certainties of mathematical geometry, Jaray focuses on what she describes as the geometry of human relationships, challenging the viewers perception and relationship with the space surrounding them. This slender but inclusive catalog containing Jarays new vibrant works complements her recent solo exhibition Tess Jaray: Into Light at Marlborough fine Art (London, 2017).

Engaging with sexuality, self-representation and language, Eddie Peake's latest installation is a spectacle that posits the body as a sculptural and sexual object. Accompanying the artist's exhibition at the Curve, Barbican, London (9 October 2015-10 January 2016), this volume examines the playful web of performance, sculpture, video and painting that Peake has specifically created for the space. Incorporating a raised walkway as a stage for performers to carry out a looped choreography of dance movements, the installation also features numerous video works and sculptures that together convey a narrative of voyeuristic desire. Alongside installation views, related work and an interview with the artist by Alona Pardo, an essay by Omar Kholeif explores the broad set of allusions embedded within Peake's work, from the classical nude to popular culture and underground music. This is the second title in a publication series by Barbican Art Gallery and Ridinghouse that focuses on the Curve exhibition programme.
