The Art Newspaper’s editors have selected their top art books of 2025, featuring a diverse range of titles. Highlights include "Kerry James Marshall: The Histories," a catalogue from the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition surveying the American artist’s large-scale history paintings centered on Black figures; "Minimal, edited by Jessica Morgan," which reassesses overlooked Minimalist artists; and "Lee Miller," the Tate Britain exhibition catalogue exploring the photographer’s multifaceted career. Other notable picks include monographs on Celia Paul, Shahzia Sikander, and Edward Gorey, as well as a comprehensive overview of Middle Eastern art from 1900 to now.

Edward Gorey’s surreal back-of-the-envelope illustrations tell a moving story

A new book titled *From Ted to Tom* collects the illustrated envelopes that Edward Gorey (1925-2000) sent to his friend Tom Fitzharris between 1974 and 1975. The envelopes are adorned with Gorey's trademark surreal drawings, often featuring a pair of dogs wearing clothing with the letter 'T,' representing the two correspondents. The volume includes excerpts from 50 letters, along with witty annotations, tactile design elements, and quotes from writers Gorey admired, offering a glimpse into his personal and artistic life.
