Stacking as sculptural procedure across five decades of Cragg's artThis career-spanning publication focuses on the history of Tony Cragg's (born 1949) Stack works that began in the late 1960s, when, as a student, he began piling up miscellaneous and recycled detritus from the studio in order to create large rectilinear sculptures that refuted the usual clean lines of minimalism.

Colour inspires and informs the work of Stanley Whitney (b. 1946, Philadelphia, USA) whose paintings explore the many possibilities created by the tessellation and juxtaposition of irregular rectangles in varying shades of strength and subtlety. Within the composition of these adjacent nodes - a structure that fluctuates between freedom and constraint, between endless open fields and controlled boundaries - is ultimately a play between complementing and competing areas of colour. Produced in a unique size, identical to the scale of Whitney's smallest 12 inch square paintings, In the Color investigates his profound relationship to colour and its spatial effects throughout his career. Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Stanley Whitney: In the Color at Lisson Gallery, New York (3 November - 21 December 2018).

British artist Christopher Le Brun's latest work features a new series of large scale abstractions, some light in touch and some involving dense accretions of colour and gesture. Following his appearance in many international group exhibitions - such as the influential Zeitgeist exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (1982) - Le Brun became recognised as one of the leading young European painters; he has also been an instrumental public figure in his role since 2011 as President of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, which celebrates its 250th anniversary this year. Accompanying a solo exhibition at Lisson Gallery, London (4 July - 18 August 2018), New Painting shows works that represent a singularly rich moment in his 40-year career. The glowing, scintillating veils of colour in Le Brun's recent oil works on canvas contribute to the constant exchanges of movement, energy, warmth and light occurring throughout this radiant show.
