Rebecca Horn: All These Black Days - Betweenby: Horn, Rebecca

Rebecca Horn: All These Black Days - Between
by: Horn, Rebecca

Hardcover. Scalo, 1st, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 160 pages. 89 color illustrations. "Postcard collages and texts by Rebecca Horn sent to Timothy Baum and friends," is the only explanation internationally known artist Rebecca Horn wanted to include in her latest book, probably her most accessible to a larger public. We do not know who Timothy Baum is. We have no idea who her friends are, nor when they received mail from this German artist, living in Berlin and Paris. We do not need to know: what Horn offers us is a revealing and, at the same time, enigmatic collection of her beautiful, often erotic, and most of all poetic, postcards. Horn presents to us a fragmented love story, told in painfully precise snapshots of lust and desire, intimate and precise, yet vague enough to be everyone's love story. By altering existing postcards, painting over them or gluing parts of different images on them, Horn creates collages that mirror life's beautiful and troubling contingencies. In what might be the artist's most personal book, Rebecca Horn presents life as a journey; we look at postcards from this journey from heaven. Or is it hell? In sharing her most intimate, most common emotional states in images and texts, Rebecca Horn creates an almost baroque dialogue between reality and the world of longing.

Photography in Boston: 1955-1985
by: Nagler, Gillian (Editor)/Rachel Rosenfield Lafo

Hardcover. US, The MIT Press, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. Remainder mark on top page block. Boston played a crucial role in the development of American photography, including criticism, collecting, and curating, in the second half of the twentieth century. This book accompanies a landmark exhibition at the DeCordova Museum that includes such important American artists as Berenice Abbott, Harry Callahan, Paul Caponigro, Marie Cosindas, Harold Edgerton, Nan Goldin, Jerome Liebling, Nicholas Nixon, Barbara Norfleet, Olivia Parker, Rosamond Purcell, Aaron Siskind, and Minor White.The period from 1955 to 1985 reflects photography's acceptance as an art form, the influence of modernism, and the coalescence of a unique constellation of educational institutions, museums, and technological development in the Boston area that directly influenced artistic options for photography. Minor White's arrival at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1965 to run the Center for Creative Photography and the Polaroid Corporation's innovative support of photographic art suggest how developments built upon one another to create a regional critical mass in photography.The book contains twenty-five color plates, sixty duotones, and essays by A. D. Coleman, Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, Arno Rafael Minkkinen, and Kim Sichel.

by: Lee Friedlander, Kathy Ryan

Hardcover. New Haver CT, Yale University , 1st, 2015, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 80 pages, 59 plates in duotone, large format. Friedlander ventures into new territory, turning his eye to the rarefied world of fashion and revealing precisely what is commonplace about it: behind the glamorous spectacle of the runway are many people hard at work. The photographs, commissioned by the 'New York Times Magazine,' were taken in 2006 during New York Fashion Week, when the artist spent time backstage at the Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Zac Posen, Oscar de la Renta, and Proenza Schouler shows. The resulting images, many of which are published here for the first time, depict a flurry of toiling stylists, dressers, makeup artists, photographers, and models--all of them preparing, but not quite prepared, for an image to be taken.

Ansel Adams - Letters and Images 1916-1984by: Adams, Ansel

Ansel Adams - Letters and Images 1916-1984
by: Adams, Ansel

Boston, N.Y. Graphic Society, BC Ed., 1988, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover. Black & white photos. 400 pages. Flap has price, (C) page with First Edition statement but actually Book Club edition. Edited by Mary Street Alinder & Andrea Gray Stillman. In his early years in Yosemite, Adams formed the habit of writing letters at every opportunity. His correspondence, therefore, virtually provides the full record of his life. Through the years, wherever he went, from the Southwest to Maine to Alaska, he wrote literally thousands of letters and postcards. Among the family, friends, fellow photographers, environmentalists, and politicians with whom he corresponded rank such eminent names as Alfred Stieglitz, Dorothea Lange, Paul Strand, jimmy Carter, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall, Garry Trudeau, and Edward Weston. Including both sides of continuing dialogues with these people and others, this book revels the growth of the artist and the whole man, as well as the development of the art of photography through the voices of the masters. A companion volume to his best-selling autobiography, ANSEL ADAMS: LETTERS AND IMAGES is illustrated with over 100 of his photographs from monumental landscapes to family snapshots. This combination of images with the highlights of a lifetime of letter writing creates a compelling portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest artists and conservationists and one of the most personable and memorable of men.

The Mississippi River in 1953: A Photographic Journey from the Headwaters to the Deltaby: Sharp, Charles Dee

The Mississippi River in 1953: A Photographic Journey from the Headwaters to the Delta
by: Sharp, Charles Dee

Hardcover. Center for American Places, 1st, 2005, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 232 pages. The Mississippi River flows through American history and culture as a mythic waterway brimming with tragedy and hope, and awash in passionate ambitions and harsh realities. In 1953, a young Charles Dee Sharp traveled twice down the Mississippi (first by towboat and then by car along the renowned river road Highway 61) to make a documentary film of it, taking black-and-white photographs of the river, its communities, and its people. While Sharp's documentary never came to fruition, the striking images he captured survived as moving and evocative historical testaments to a lost era, now collected in his new book The Mississippi in 1953. These images create a vivid portrait of America's heartland a half century ago, and they are enriched with excerpts from Sharp's original trip journal, intriguing anecdotes from the people he encountered along his journey, and an engaging environmental history of the river by historian John O. Anfinson. The Mississippi in 1953 offers an original and poignant look at the living artery of the American landscape and how it molded the United States into the nation it is today.

Kenya: A Country in the Making, 1880-1940
by: Pavitt, Nigel

Hardcover. NY, W. W. Norton & Company, 1st, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 320 pages. Extraordinary photographs, along with extensive captions, document the transition from a barely explored paradise to a modern nation. This stunning collection of 720 photographs, many of them drawn from family archives and scrapbooks and all carefully restored, is one of the most important visual records of Africa in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ever to have been published. The early photographers captured the beauty and dangerous allure of life on this spectacular frontier: the ceremonies and traditional attire of the native people, the fantastic machinery used in construction of the Uganda Railway, the gradual development of trade on the coast and in the country's interior, the hardships of the East African Campaign during World War I, and the pioneering spirit of early European settlers and farmers. Many of the most famous names and places connected with Africa appear in these pages, including Karen Blixen's farm and Ernest Hemingway and Theodore Roosevelt on safari.

Photography: The Groundbreaking Moments
by: Florian Heine

Softcover. Munich , Prestel, 1st, 2012, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 192 pages. Chronologically arranged, each chapter focuses on a particular work or idea that changed the course of photography. Presented in beautiful spreads and with informative text, the book opens with photography's genesis in the form of the camera obscura. Centuries later, Daguerre, Niepce, and Talbot invented their own means of capturing light on paper. The book covers groundbreaking genres such as still life, landscape, portraiture, and nudes. Sections on the role of photography in journalism illustrate how the camera's presence on battlefields, on city streets, and in factories helped inform and reform the modern world. Fashion, animals, Surrealism, and staged portraits are also explored. Perfect for perusing or reading from cover to cover, this book illustrates how photography developed from a concept to a world-changing force--one that attempted to shed light on truth yet can also obscure and alter reality in dazzling ways.

Stars Stars Stars off the Screenby: Quinn, Edward

Stars Stars Stars off the Screen
by: Quinn, Edward

Hardcover. NY, Scalo, 1st, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover. Black & white photographs of glamorous movie stars, 335 pages. Mostly shot in Monte Carlo. This is one of the most gorgeous collections of classic B&W Hollywood pictures published in a long time. Actually, "Hollywood" isn't exactly accurate, as the late Edward Quinn did most of his work in Europe; most of the photos were taken at Cannes (including, of course, the Cannes Film Festival) or on the Riviera in the 1950's and early 1960's. The book is a huge hardbound with most of the photos in full-page format, and the publishers cleverly printed the captions on a separate pullout (in multiple languages, withal!) so as not to take space away from the pictures.

by: Nan Goldin, David Armstrong, Mark Morrisroe, Jack Pierson, Philip-Lorca Dicorcia

Softcover. Koln GR, Taschen, 1st, 1998, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, color photos. Uniting the five leading lights of the Boston School of American photography, this is a showcase for some of the most striking and compelling imagery on the contemporary scene. Drawing on a similar range of influences -- fashion's studied glamour, Larry Clark's haunting lowlife, and the casual beauty of the snapshot -- all five contributors realise their visions in contrasting and highly idiosyncratic ways.

Face: The New Photographic Portraitby: William A. Ewing

Face: The New Photographic Portrait
by: William A. Ewing

Hardcover. NY, Thames & Hudson, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 240 pages. This groundbreaking publication announces the death of the conventional portrait. In an age when we are bombarded with flawless images of youthful beauty, when rejuvenation is available through a jar of cream or a scalpel, artists and photographers seek to portray the face in new ways.Through a variety of techniques, including computer manipulation, photomontage, and retouching, the artists present their new portraits. They replace clarity with blur, the split-second with the elastic moment, questioning the notion of a fixed identity, of universality of expression, of what constitutes beauty. Whether Cindy Sherman's disquieting disguises, Gillian Wearing's masked self-portrait, LawickMuller's composite portraits of couples, or Orlan's disturbing experiments with cosmetic surgery, these faces demand attention. 260 illustrations, 165 in color.
