A Wonder to Behold
How do you make an eye-popping blue city gate out of mud?? New research on the Ishtar Gate of Babylon explores technique as well as themes like how color expresses divinity. Historical photographs of the incredible excavation and transport of this ancient monument from Babylon to Berlin round out the story. Accompanied an exhibition at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World in New York.
A History of the World in 100 Objects
Telling the history of humanity is impossible. But one of the best attempts to squeeze it into a morsel that fits in both hand and brain is this book. The British Museums then-director Neil MacGregor took 100 objects of the museums collection and let their stories shine. The book beats out even the excellent 100-part radio/podcast companion program, because of course, it has pictures.

Phaidon Press & The Met Store Pop
The public opening last week of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s third location, The Met Breuer at 945 Madison Avenue, also occasioned the launch of a pop-up bookshop, “Phaidon x The Met Bookstore.” A collaboration between Phaidon Press, a global art book publisher, and The Met Store, the museum’s retail arm, the shop offers museum-goers a selection of nearly 300 titles in art, architecture, design, photography, fashion, travel, and food, as well as “an array of limited and autographed editions by Edmund de Waal, Stephen Shore, and chef Enrique Olvera” and, in the coming months, “signed copies of new monographs,” according to a press release. The pop-up bookstore will remain open through summer 2016. Keith Fox, chief executive officer at Phaidon, remarked, “We are proud to be part of the historic milestone of the opening of The Met Breuer. The building’s legacy is inspiring, and Phaidon’s mission is closely aligned with this branch’s cultural, aesthetic, and artistic identity. To see our beautiful books housed in the ‘Phaidon x The Met Bookstore,’ with its iconic window and design, is truly a dream come true.”The new museum site is named after architect Marcel Breuer, who designed the landmark building. It is meant to provide additional space for contemporary art exhibits and related events. Currently on view is a retrospective of Indian abstract artist Nasreen Mohamedi and an exhibit titled Unfinished that delves into “the question of when a work of art is finished.”
