Before there were tarot decks there were Baroque emblem books, popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and featuring allegorical images accompanied by Latin phrases. The books offered an enchanted connection between mystical images and mottos showing human lives alongside celestial, bestial and plant life. Discovered during her research into fragrances from that time, natural perfumer Mandy Aftel’s Symbolorum: The Secret Wisdom of Emblems brings us back to that era, with Camerarius’s images reborn in watercolor and modern commentary. A great addition to any cabinet of curiosities or the library of anyone inspired by the subject.

Most people think of paintings and flat works when Keith Haring comes to mind, but he was a prolific artist who explored all types of materials, including found objects which were plentiful and free in the streets of NYC in the early 1980s. From cars to clothes, ceramics, wood, sets, bodies and more he honed his work and visual alphabet while creating a substantial body of 3D works that were never the focus of his career or his galleries. A book ten years in the making, it launches adjacent to an exhibition of the same name, opening in the new wing at Crystal Bridges Museum of Contemporary Art 6 June 2026 and running through 25 January 2027. The book was edited by Larry Warsh and Glenn Adamson, and features contributions from Dieter Buchhart, David Galloway, Francis M. Naumann, Lowery Stokes Sims, and Robert Storr.

Gursha: Timeless Recipes for Modern Kitchens, from Ethiopia, Israel, Harlem, and Beyond: A Cookbook by Harlem’s acclaimed chef Beejhay Barhany, celebrates her unique heritage. Through more than 100 recipes, the book brings her Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) heritage to life through food, accented by her and her family’s time in Ethiopia, Sudan, Israel and Harlem. The book’s title speaks to “the act of feeding one another,” which is both literal with its recipes but also metaphorically apt given how she shares stories of family, culture, place, tradition, home and diaspora. This cookbook shares the culinary traditions of a relatively small and lesser known Jewish community in an accessible way that’s easy to cook at home.

His influence at some of the most highly regarded fashion publications, both privately and publicly, helped shape fashion for decades.

Kaikado’s craft and heritage have been passed down through six generations, with Takahiro Yagi currently leading the family workshop, and he’s currently leading the celebration of the company’s 150th anniversary with the debut of Kaikado, a comprehensive and beautiful book created with ERG Media.
