Calame, an artist based in Los Angeles, makes intricate, abstract paintings and drawings with a specific relationship to the world. Her work begins with marks, stains and cracks on the ground which Calame traces, then combines layers and retraces, transforming them into drawings in coloured penicl or pure pigment and paintings in enamel or oil pain.

This publication presents Calame's work from 1994 to 2011. Extensively illustrated with three new essays and an interview with the artist, it charts the development of Calame's singular visual language.

Jean-Marc Bustamante is one of France's senior artists and a major figure in the international art world. His clear, direct vision manifests itself in an almost bewildering array of materials and media - photography, sculpture, painting, architectural projects and installation. His work is unified and characterised by its calm intelligence and a kind of extraordinary ordinariness that helps us see its subject, the world arounds us, in a new way.

Bustamante's art has not been seen enough in Britain. The Fruitmarket Gallery and Henry oore Institute are delighted to introduce this influential and important work to new audiences in Scotland and England through both this book and the complementary and overlapping exhibitions it accompanies. This publication illustrates Bustamante's practice from the late 1970s through to 2010 and includes a range of critical essays commissioned on the occasion of the exhibition Dead Calm, alongside texts translated into English for the first time.

The focus of the book, and the majority of the works to be presented in Edinburgh, is progression in size, height and tone – stacks of planks, chairs, tables, boxes, pieces of lego; series of paintings; works making use of the musical scale. With new essays by critic and author Alex Coles and Fiona Bradley, Director of The Fruitmarket Gallery and curator of the exhibition, the book speaks eloquently to the incremental impulses at play in Creed’s work; the ordering and re-ordering of things which give his art its particular magic.

Toby Paterson makes paintings, reliefs and constructions which explore the relationship between abstraction and reality. He has a keen interest in post-war modernist architecture which he deconstructs both materially and politically, developing a practice in which some works are almost understandable as architecture while others are expressions of purely abstract form. His work is as engaged with the architecture of Denys Lasdun, Berthold Lubetkin, Cedric Price, and Andy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein at Gillespie, Kidd and Coia as it is influenced by the constructivist painting of Kenneth and Mary Martin, Ben Nicholson and Victor Passmore.

This book reproduces much of Paterson's work made over the last ten years. With essays by curator Fiona Bradley and Professor of Architectural and Urban History at the University of California, Davis, Simon Sadler, and an interview between Toby Paterson and architect Ewan Imrie, it explores both the complexity and the consistency of Paterson's practice.

Eva Hesse (1936-1970) produced a significant number of small, experimental works alongside her large-scale sculpture throughout her career. These objects - the so-called 'test pieces' - were made in a range of materials, including latex, wire-mesh, sculp-metal, fibreglass and cheesecloth. In this book, Briony Fer argues that rather than being simply technical explorations, these small objects radically put into question conventional notions of what sculpture is. By renaming them studioworks rather than test pieces, Fer offers a timely new interpretation of Hesse's historical position and asserts her relevance for contemporary art now. She addresses the visceral sensuality of the small pieces in light of what it means for an artist to make work and how the processes of making translate to the viewing encounter.

This book contains a comprehensive catalogue of the studiowork, including many works that have never been shown before. Although previously the studioworks were considered peripheral to the major pieces exhibited in Hesse's lifetime, this fascinating new study argues that they force us to ask fundamental and pressing questions, not just about what an artwork is, but about the work that art does in our culture.

Briony Fer is Professor of History of Art at Univerity College London and has published extensively on twentieth-century and contemporary art, authoring important publications such as The Infinite Line: Re-making Art After Modernism and On Abstract Art (Yale).

A highly visual celebration of two films by Willie Doherty: Ghost Story (2007), first shown at the 52nd Venice Biennale, and Buried (2009), commissioned by and first shown at The Fruitmarket Gallery. Conceived as a companion piece to Ghost Story, Buried was filmed in the same location and shares something of the same atmosphere. Both films deal with memory, its repression and return, and have the odd sense of timeless urgency that characterises much of Willie Doherty's work.

The book reproduces stills from each film, with the text of the voice-over for Ghost Story providing a break at the centre. The book starts with a short introduction by Fiona Bradley and ends with Some Notes On Problems and Possibilities, a new text by Willie Doherty.

This book is published to accompany a major exhibition of Barclay's work at The Fruitmarket Gallery. It documents significant installations made throughout her career and includes a chronology tracing her mature artistic activity back to 1990. There are new texts by FIONA BRADLEY, PENELOPE CURTIS and CLAIRE DOHERTY, and a conversation between CLAIRE BARCLAY and FRANCIS MCKEE.

As her work is made in and for a particular contexts, and is often dismantled after exhibition, priority is given in this book to images, allowing the works something of an after-life, and the reader and opportunity to trace the development of Barclay's singular sculptural language.

Disorienting and unsettling, strangely beautiful and completely compelling, the extraordinary visual and conceptual power of the close-up is revealed in this book, which reproduces and discusses many great works of art ranging from experiments in nineteenth-century microscopy through to avant-garde film and photography to conceptual work and the use of close-up photography and film in contemporary art.

Features an introduction by Dr Fiona Bradley, Director of The Fruitmarket Gallery. Includes highly illustrated essays by Dawn Ades, Professor of Art History at the University of Essex and curator of numerous highly-acclaimed exhibitions, and Simon Baker, Lecturer in Art History at the University of Nottingham where he specialises in the history of photography, the surrealist movement and contemporary art. Previously Ades and Baker co-curated 'Undercover Surrealism' at the Hayward Gallery in 2006.

This two-volume publication is both a catalogue to the exhibition and a compendium of notes and drawings for as yet unrealised works. With one volume containing texts on and images of the seven major works exhibited, and the other bringing together sketches, drawings, notes and ideas for works that either may or may not one day be made, the publication offers a range of routes into the Cardiff/Miller imagination.
