PETER MARINO: ART ARCHITECTURE Peter Marino's ravishing work for high-end retail clients—including Bulgari and Chanel—has made him a design superstar. This book details his collaborations with artists including Vik Muniz, James Turrell and Jean-Michel Othoniel. (Phaidon) RICHARD SERRA: VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL REVERSALS Based on a recent exhibition at New York's Zwirner gallery, this contemplative collection includes 33 of the minimalist artist's abstract Reversal drawings, in which he explores form and gravity. (Steidl) LES DINERS DE GALA Since its initial publication in 1973, twisted gourmands have practically starved themselves to find a copy of Salvador Dali's Surrealist cookbook, filled with the artist's otherworldly visual takes on such culinary curiosities as conger eel and thousand-year-old eggs. Happily, Taschen has now reprinted it, complete with original recipes and gustatory proclamations from the master. (Taschen) NEW YORK IN THE 1970S Was it truly the worst of times, when the city gained the nickname the Rotten Apple? Not from the viewpoint of Philip Trager, whose compelling cityscapes portray a city bereft of humanity and thrilling in its majestic loneliness. Compiled from a trove of recently rediscovered negatives, these photos conjure a lost decade when the World Trade Center seemed eternal and The Wiz competed for attention along Broadway with the Follies Burlesk. (Steidl) BELLISSIMA!: THE ITALIAN AUTOMOTIVE RENAISSANCE, 1945 TO 1975 Alongside the Via Veneto and La Dolce Vita, the futuristic designs of postwar Italian cars and motorbikes cemented the country's position as Europe's aesthetic capital. This new book showcases the sheer beauty of these fantastic and rare autos. (Rizzoli) It was the height of the late rock icon's pansexual Ziggy Stardust moment, and, as Bowie's official photographer, Mick Rock captured the enigmatic and private artist at his most intimate. Taschen's limited-edition book (only 1,972 copies) is signed by both Bowie and Rock—and worth every bit of its $4,000 pricetag. (Taschen) BAL HARBOUR 151 MICK ROCK: THE RISE OF DAVID BOWIE,1972-1973
