It's hard to believe, but this iconic children's story has never been published as a book - until now. Flick wants to fight fires more than anything in the world. But the grown-up engines say he isn't big enough or strong enough to help. Poor Flick - he always gets left behind at the station. Will he ever be allowed to help? From author James Lawrence: Flick the Little Fire Engine was originally written for broadcasting by Robert (Bert) Reisfeld. Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1906, he lived a large part of his working life in Los Angeles and wrote music scores for Hollywood films and musicals. He died in Badenweiler Germany in 1991. Flick was recorded in Hollywood in 1948 on the MGM label on a double 78 RPM album and later on 45 rpm. Just over 3 years ago I told, my then 3- year-old daughter, the story of Flick by rote. She loved it so much I made up other stories about Flick's adventures. I then decided to locate the book only to find it didn't exist. It was clear to me a book had to be made.

In 1974 Anselm Kiefer produced Erotik im Fernen Osten oder: Transition from Cool to Warm, a book of watercolors. Thirty years later, Gagosian Gallery's newest catalogue marks Kiefer's return to the medium, with works made between 2012 and 2015. More than forty unique artists's books, their pages painted with gesso to mimic marble, can be found in the exciting new tome. Artists's books are an integral part of Kiefer's oeuvre; over time they have ranged in scale from the intimate to the monumental, and in materials, from lead to dried plant matter. In this selection of books, the sequences of narrative information and visual effect evoke the fragile endurance of the sacred and the spiritual through the female figures on the marbled pages.
