Figure of the Child
Tolia Astakhishvili
Published by Empire, Paris, 2026, 184 pp. (colour & b/w ill.),23.5 × 32.5 cm, English/German
Price: €35

Born in 1974 in Tbilisi, Tolia Astakhishvili works and lives between Berlin and Tbilisi. Her art practice includes sculpture, drawing, painting, sound, video and writing. Her architectural environments, which integrate these various media, are designed in conversation with the exhibition site. They evoke spaces in transformation, like a suspended construction site whose origins and completion remain undefined. Everyday objects, drawings, photographs, mural inscriptions and videos suggest a diffuse human presence. Together, they weave a fictional narrative marked by a psychological dimension, sometimes tinged with surrealism.

Edited by Tolia Astakhishvili, Fatima Hellberg, Manuela Ammer. Contributions by Kirsty Bell, Fatima Hellberg, Liesl Ujvary.

Baskerville’s Teardrop Explodes: A Selection of Books as Muses
John Morgan
Published by Ten Thousand Angels Press, 2026, 256 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 14 × 20 cm, English
Price: €51

Completed shortly before John Morgan’s death in September 2025, Baskerville’s Teardrop Explodes: A Selection of Books as Muses gathers 31 books that shaped his imagination. Chosen for their visual presence and associative charge, these volumes influenced his practice as a book designer in distinct ways. Together, they form a personal Library of Muses reflecting the contradictions and layered sensibilities of his work. Selections range from titles prized for colour, materiality, or attitude to those evoking memory, romance, anxiety, humour, or failure. Each Muse carries its own energy – heroic, imperfect, excessive, modest, resonant – guiding Morgan’s creative direction and vision.
