Harland Miller: In Shadows I Boogie is the first-edition Phaidon monograph dedicated to Harland Miller’s distinctive world of text-based painting. Published in 2019, the hardback book presents 240 pages of Miller’s work, focusing on his celebrated paintings inspired by vintage paperback covers, book design, and the emotional power of language. 

Inside, the book explores Miller’s Penguin-style paintings, Pelican-inspired works, and bold graphic word paintings, where invented titles and striking typography become contemporary artworks. His practice combines literature, pop culture, humour, irony, nostalgia, and melancholy, turning familiar book-cover formats into sharp visual statements. This first edition is a strong collector’s book for fans of contemporary British art, typography, literary painting, and Harland Miller’s unmistakable visual language.
