Being Global
The Cosmopolitans by Zubin Shroff
(Veenman)
Launched at Bombay Electric, in tandem with Matthieu Foss Gallery, photographer Zubin Shroff questions the notions of being cosmopolitan and a global citizen, through his formal, studied portraits, in this book. Seventy eight seemingly disparate portraits have been connected, with images from six continents, ranging from pilgrims and artists to construction workers and actors.

Stars and Stripes
Iconic America by Tommy Hilfiger with George Lois
(Rizzoli Publications)
Neatly described as A Roller-Coaster Ride Through the Eye-Popping Panorama of American Pop Culture, the coffee-table book promises to be visually stimulating even without the addition of Hilfiger and legendary graphic designer George Lois. It is Mickey Mouse and Monopoly and Sinatra and Fred Astaire in surprising juxtapositions and clever visual presentations. Over 350 people, places and things of importance in the history of the country have come together in this entertaining and stimulating interpretation of the melting pot of American pop culture.
