Still Life: A Contemporary Arrangement
























































Bronwen Findlay
A beautiful and highly original artist’s diary of a year spent observing wild plants.
Roxy Kaczmarek
A group of botanists in search of rare species dismiss local custom at their peril. Love in all its wildness and wonder is found clinging to crumbling chalk cliffs and growing through cracks on city streets. A scientist takes a radical step to understand her houseplant. A poet remembers her beloved flowers, and the longing for a magnificent tropical garden outlasts death.
A comprehensive, accessible, and richly illustrated guide to impressionism—the perennially popular artistic movement that led to the radical renewal of Western art.
Phumulani Ntuli
This is the first, self-published catalogue of Phumlani Ntuli’s work. It serves as a personal archive around his artistic practice, focusing on three major exhibitions that took place between 2021 and 2022.
Maja Maljević
From cave paintings to contemporary art, Pigments demonstrates how a material understanding of color opens new perspectives on visual culture and the history of art.
This book is an opportunity for Kentridge enthusiasts to catch a glimpse of this little-known early series of 14 etchings and also offers a further taste of the ongoing catalogue raisonné project.
Heidi Fourie
Covering 23 gardens and landscapes, and richly supported by exquisite photographs and specially commissioned artworks, Veld is a beautiful tribute to a remarkable talent and visionary whose work is deeply informed by nature. It recognises and celebrates the combination of knowledge, skill and instinct that make up the man, and the radical influence he has had on his profession, and the landscapes he has restored.
Toward the end of his monumental career as a painter, sculptor, and lithographer, an elderly, sickly Matisse was unable to stand and use a paintbrush for long. In this late phase of his life—he was almost 80 years of age—he developed the technique of “carving into color,” creating bright, bold paper cut-outs. Though dismissed by some contemporary critics as the folly of a senile old man, these gouaches decoupées (gouache cut-outs) in fact represented a revolution in modern art, a whole new medium that reimagined the age-old conflict between color and line.
This book introduces the work of the greatest artists of the Dutch golden age, an era of unparalleled wealth, power and cultural confidence.
David Krut Publishing is pleased to announce the release of
Deborah Bell: Invocations to the Plate Notes from the Print Workshop 2014 – 2017,
a publication dedicated to the collaborations between Deborah Bell and David Krut Workshop.
Adele van Heerden
The Secret Lives of Colour tells the unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues.
New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art.
Anna van der Ploeg
This exhibition presents a new body of work created by Anna van der Ploeg at the David Krut Workshop (DKW). Through oil paintings, etching editions and monotypes, Van der Ploeg continues to probe notions of performativity, concealment, and tenderness in social interactions.
Plants are truly remarkable: even with all our modern technological prowess they still feed, clothe and shelter us, help transport us and cure us. Helen and William Bynum are expert guides to the rich histories, significance and uses of over 80 key species from around the world, exploring our relationship with them, both utilitarian and aesthetic, and their myriad benefits and cultural resonances.
