Thames and Hudson
Thames & Hudson are a famed publisher in the field of arts and culture, with a rich history that stretches back to 1949. Walter and Eva Neurath, Austrian émigrés with a deep love for art and culture, established the company in London, in the aftermath of World War II. Amid the destruction and economic depression, the former publisher (Walter) and artist (Eva) set forth with the aspiration of creating a 'museum without walls', seeking to democratise access to art and knowledge; privileges which were often confined to the elite.
Guided by this noble vision, Thames & Hudson has grown into a global publisher, producing a diverse array of titles across a panoply of fields. Each book represents a harmonious blend of meticulous research, engaging writing and captivating visual design, truly embodying the Neuraths' "museum" concept. With Thames & Hudson readers are treated to a journey of exploration into human creativity and aesthetic appreciation, enriching understanding and broadening horizons. The enduring commitment to principles of democratised access to art and knowledge has made them a beloved and respected authority, for art enthusiasts, professionals and casual readers alike.
