Tashkent: A Modernist Capital, published by Rizzoli New York, previews images of 24 modernist landmark sites across Tashkent photographed by Karel Balas and a foreword by Chris Dercon, art historian and managing director of the Fondation Cartier. With the main essay by Béatrice Grenier, the book unveils the unique architectural quality of these extraordinary buildings constructed between the 1960s and early 1990s through stunning images and texts, offering a window into Tashkent’s rich cultural heritage.

The publication Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI by Lars Müller Publishers is the synthesis of the extensive research project it shares its name with. The book plays the role of an archive which condenses the results of the three year-long investigations. It also aims to contribute to the global debate on the twentieth-century legacy and the preservation of multiple modernities across the world. Edited by Boris Chukhovich, Davide Del Curto and Ekaterina Golovatyuk, the publication contains analytical essays on Tashkent Modernism and modernism preservation as a whole, featuring monographic descriptions and preservation strategies of a selection of modernist buildings in Tashkent. The book also features an interview with globally acclaimed architect Rem Koolhaas and a photographic essay by the artist Armin Linke.
