Bold and Beautiful
A must-have for those who worship the pages of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, Miles Aldridge’s neon-bright monograph, I Only Want You to Love Me, features a collection of the London-based photographer’s cinematic shots. Storyboards and detailed notes offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at the thought process of an international superstar.
Out this spring, Rizzoli New York, $75.

In With The Old
Sisters (and stylists) Hollister and Porter Hovey celebrate the vintage-chic look on their lifestyle and design blog (hollisterhovey.blogspot.com), which they launched a few years ago. In their new book, Heirloom Modern, they showcase antique fixtures, taxidermy, and a host of long-lost treasures.
Out 3/26, Rizzoli New York, hardcover, $50.

Shopping Spree
The Laconia Gallery’s Mad Dash offers collectors the opportunity to score a work of art for just $150—regardless of its market value. Prominent Boston-area artists donated a total of 150 pieces for the event, which benefits the nonprofit gallery.
5/11 (art previews 5/3–5/5 and 5/10), Laconia Gallery, 433 Harrison Ave., Boston, 857-222-0333, laconiagallery.com.

Cape Connection
Panopticon Gallery’s spring exhibition presents two very different views of New England. “I’m Not on Your Vacation,” a project by the former Boston Globe photo assistant Brian Kaplan, examines the disquieting, desolate beauty of popular Outer Cape tourist spots during the off-season. Neal Rantoul’s aerial photographs of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, meanwhile, explore the intersection of water and land. The former head of Northeastern’s photo program, Rantoul has work in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts and Paris’s Bibliotheque Nationale.
4/3 – 5/13, Panopticon Gallery, 502c Commonwealth Ave., Boston, 617-267-8929, panopticongallery.com.
