Gleaned from thousands of images, Mid-Century Ads: Advertising from the Mad Men Era offers the best of American print advertising in the age of the “Big Idea.” At the height of American consumerism magazines were flooded with clever campaigns selling everything from girdles to guns. These optimistic indicators paint a fascinating picture of the colorful capitalism that dominated the spirit of the 1950s and 60s, as concerns about the Cold War gave way to the carefree booze-and-cigarettes Mad Men era. Also included is a wide range of significant advertising campaigns from both eras, giving insight into the zeitgeist of the time. Bursting with fresh, crisp colors, these ads have been digitally mastered to look as bright and new as the day they first hit newsstands.

Aperture is pleased to present The New York Times Magazine Photographs ($75), edited by Kathy Ryan, which reflects upon and interrogates the very nature of both photography and print magazines at this pivotal moment in their history and evolution. With a preface by former editorial director Gerald Marzorati, this volume presents some of the finest commissioned photographs worldwide in various sections, including reportage, portraiture, style, and conceptual photography, and photo illustration.
Diverse in content and sensibility, and consistent in virtuosity, the photographs are accompanied by reproduced tear sheets to allow for the examination of sequencing and the interplay between text and image, simultaneously presenting the work while illuminating its distillation to magazine form. This process is explored further through texts offering behind-the-scenes perspective and anecdotes by the many photographers, writers, editors, and other collaborators whose voices have been a part of the magazine over the years.
For the third volume of their eight-part series, Bracket – They survey 16 individuals on the future of education and its’ impact on creativity.
Featuring: Bianca Chang (Sydney), Craig Oldham (Manchester), Jack Sanders (Austin), Jasper Morrison (London), Jocelyn Glei (Brooklyn), John C Jay (Portland), Kenya Hara (Tokyo), Kirby Ferguson (New York), Kyle Bean (Brighton), Makoto Azuma (Tokyo), Masashi Kawamura (New York), Nicole Lavelle (Portland), Sarah Temple (London), Steve Heller (New York), Timothy Goodman (New York) and Xavier Encinas (Paris).
