Folio. (12 1/4 x 12 1/2 inches). First edition, 80pp. 60 black and white tri-tone photographs with caption and location notes. Publisher's cloth boards, grey spine with gilt lettering, dust jacket. Fine copy. A black and white photographic essay by acclaimed photographer Robert Adams about where a great river meets the ocean, the currently endangered Columbia River estuary. Robert Adams is an American photographer whose work focuses on the changing landscape of the American West. West from the Columbia is Adams's tenth Aperture book of photographic essays, following Listening to the River and Why People Photograph, both published in 1994. In a topographical style that eschews the sharply printed image, photographer and scholar Adams captures soft, moody, essentially repetitive views of an industrially endangered locale close to his heart: the mouth of the Columbia River, emptying into the Pacific Ocean.

Presents Lynn Stern's "Dispossession". One of the finest post-Surrealist photographic meditations on life, mortality, and death.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Black boards. [6]+7-144p,pl,pep Foreword by David Brower Essays by various photographers.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 55 pages. Published in 2008. Retrospective collection of color photographs. Limited Edition of 1000 copies. Published as a softcover original only. The collection was selected by the Aperture Foundation as one of five outstanding projects on the TinyVices website, an online gallery and image archive, which showcases hundreds of artist/photographers' portfolios, all of them as yet unpublished in book form. The Limited Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Tim Barber: Regular-sized volume format. Photographs by Jaimie Warren. Essay by Starlee Kine. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Singapore to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, Jaimie Warren's "Don't You Feel Better". One of only five Artist Portfolios selected by the Aperture Foundation from the rapidly growing online archive of serious photographic work, the Instagram for aspiring and brilliant artists, if you will. Probably the best and also, the most challenging, in the Series thus far, Jaimie Warren's self-portraits show her face covered in theatrically-inspired make-up of all kinds. Her point being that if our faces really showed how we feel deep inside, they would change color dramatically. As such, her photographs can be very disorienting at first, even appear to be too attention-grabbing for one's taste. But Warren also shows herself normally in many images, sans make-up, and yet somehow, the strange effect she uncannily conveys remains: Ordinary, routine life forces us to conform and act as though everything is OK, forces us to smile for the camera, and pretend that everything will be all right (even if, more often than not, things do not turn out that way). Warren's Cover Image of her face covered in red makeup clearly says, "No, I do not feel better! In fact, if my face could show how I really feel right now, my face would be red". Yet, in a twist of irony worthy of Martin Parr, she is still all-smiles for the camera. TinyVices is for real: "Offers a range of styles and approaches to photography: Kenneth Cappello's casual snapshots of the skate scene of his youth; Allan MacIntyre's rigorous investigations of geological activity; Jason Nocito's playful groupings of disparate images; Robin Schwartz's disquieting portraits of her daughter; and Jaimie Warren's theatrical self-portraits. Since its inception in 2005, tinyvices has become an influential platform for emerging talent, featuring the work of hundreds of photographers and artists, including Ryan McGinley and Dash Snow" (The Aperture Foundation). An absolute "must-have" title for Jaimie Warren collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated as such on the Back Copyright Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Jaimie Warren. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2009. Exhibition Catalog. Retrospective collection of Polaroid photographs. One of Barbara Crane's finest achievements. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Francesca Richer: Regular-sized volume format. Ribbed brown cloth boards with Polaroid reproduction pasted on the recessed center and gilt titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Barbara Crane. Text by Barbara Hitchcock. Printed on thick, glossy stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition held at the Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago in November and December, 2009. Presents "Private Views: Polaroids by Barbara Crane". All taken in Chicago between 1980 and 1984, at various annual summer festivals that continue to be celebrated to this day. Since each photograph is one-of-a-kind, the whole lot can only be viewed through this volume, where they are reproduced at actual size. Barbara Crane has stated that her lifelong goal as a photographer has been to "attempt to eradicate previous habits of seeing and thinking, to keep searching for what is visually new while always hoping that a fusion of form and content will take place" (Barbara Crane). Her Polaroids "offer an intense, sun-drenched, sweat-glistening example of one such fusion, in which the social document is combined with extreme close-ups, tight cropping, and mixed lighting for maximum impact. Her technique also serves to bring out the sheen of flesh photographed at close quarters under a hot summer sun. The effect is mesmerizing, creating a palpable sensuality from image to image, an incredible document not of a particular event or personality but of something more intangible: The public expression of euphoria" (Barbara Hitchcock). Crane is identified with the Institute of Design and its Bauhaus aesthetics. In these Polaroids, Barbara Crane deploys the same rigor, simplicity, and functionality to create a genuinely sensual, even erotic, experience, the fulfillment in its own distinctive way of her visionary aims. Indefatigable until the end, Barbara Crane died on August 7, 2019 at the age of 91. An absolute "must-have" title for Barbara Crane collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Barbara Crane. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page.

Sm. Bds. No Dj. As Issued. First Edition. Stunning small book of 41 of Weegee's stark bleak photos that he took mostly for newspapers. These are little b&w gems of newspaper photojournalism at its best and most bleak quick shots of murder scenes, accidents, crimes and the lower class people of New York City of the 1940's caught unaware by his unflinching eye. One of the great photographers of the mid 20th century and a major influence on generations of photographers. Includes chronology, selected bibliography and brief introduction to the work of Weegee (Arthur Fellig). Fine. Book.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. Unpaginated. Published in 2013. Retrospective collection of photographs, presented in a scrapbook format as an Artist Book. One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by Aperture Foundation as a softcover original only. A brilliant production by J. H. Engstrom: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers with black cloth overboards and white titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Photographs by J. H. Engstrom. There is no text. Brown cardboard slipcase. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents J. H. Engstrom's "Sketch of Paris". His singularly personal homage to the most photographed city in the world. One of the few photographic projects of our time that capture what we call the Zeitgeist, the raw, contemporary moment. Which makes it unusual because the photographs were taken over a relatively long period of time. What a critic has said about Engstrom's aesthetic and practice applies: "A visual stream-of-consciousness monologue, an ongoing succession of moments that retains an importance of their own, fragments of relentlessly passing time. The impression of looking at memories, rather than documentary images, is heightened by the variety of the photographs" (Martin Jaeggi). "I can only make photographs of what I feel, of what results from my encounters with people. In this regard, my work is completely subjective. At the same time, I am interested in objectivity, in the fact that since you take photographs, you always deal with reality. And in this respect, I am not interested in subjectivity. It's a paradox" (J. H. Engstrom). Includes some of his most arrestingly lyrical and unusual nudes - of himself and others - which is, by now, an Engstrom specialty. An absolute "must-have" title for J. H. Engstrom collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the front cover by J. H. Engstrom. It is signed directly on the cover itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography book. This is one few such signed copies of the First Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce signed copy thus.

Eugene Smith: let truth be the prejudice, organized by the Alfred Stieglitz Center of the Philadelphia Museum of Art"--Title page verso./ "Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 19, 1985-January 5, 1986 [and others]"--Title page verso. § Contents: The wounded angel: an illustrated biography / Ben Maddow -- World War II -- Postwar America -- Abroad -- After Life -- Japan. § W. Eugene Smith is considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, particularly for his contributions to the development of the photo essay as a storytelling form. Smith began his career as a photographer for newspapers and magazines in the late 1930s, and later served as a war correspondent during World War II. He became renowned for his emotionally charged and poignant images that captured the realities of war and human suffering. After the war, Smith worked for Life magazine, where he produced some of his most iconic photo essays, such as "Country Doctor" and "Spanish Village". He was also known for his work on the devastating effects of mercury poisoning in the Japanese fishing village of Minamata, which he documented in a powerful photo essay that brought international attention to the issue.Smith's dedication to his craft was legendary, and he was known for his tireless pursuit of the perfect image. He often spent weeks or even months on a single project, and his intense commitment to his work sometimes led to conflicts with his editors and employers." . "Let Truth Be The Prejudice documents the life and work of W. Eugene Smith, a man whose work expanded the range and depth of photography, bringing new aesthetic and moral power to the photo essay. Smith was born in 1918 in Wichita, Kansas, and raised according to traditional American values, believing in the nobility of America and the injustice of war.

Oversize Illus Bds. W. Dj. First Edition First Printing. Superb book by the great photographer. "Untitled is the third volume of Diane Arbus's work and the only on devoted exclusively to a single project. The photographs were taken at residences for the mentally retarded between 1969 and 1971, in the last years of Arbus's life. Although she considered doing a book on the subject, the vast majority of these pictures have remained unpublished until now." Not a politically correct description, but the photographs are brilliant I would have of course said mentally challenged instead of retarded. Reproduced from prints by Neil Selkirk. Afterword by Doon Arbus. Edited and designed by Doon Arbus and Yolanda Cuomo. Unpaginated (112 pp.), with 51 duotone plates beautifully printed in Italy by L.E.G.O./Eurografica, Vicenza, from separations by Robert Hennessey. Laid in is a somewhat uncommon small 8pg. brochure from an exhibit of Diane Arbus's photographs that traveled and was shown at The Gray Art Gallery at New York University. 8 photos+ short text. The book is fine with a fine dustjacket that has a touch of wear to the tip and top edge of the dustjacket. Extra postage might be required because of the weight and size of the book. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 230 pages. Published in 2011. New And Expanded Edition of the photographer's classic. One of the greatest photography books of our time. The first appearance of the title in this edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Second Printing and the Thames & Hudson Facsimile Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition Thus is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with black titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Josef Koudelka. Afterword by Will Guy. Printed in quadrotone on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper using all-new, high-resolution scans by Steidl in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. By critical consensus, it is vastly superior to all other previous editions. In white DJ with black titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Re-presents Josef Koudelka's "Cikani". Otherwise better-known as "Gypsies". His first masterpiece. "Rekindles the energy and astonishment of this foundational body of work by a Master Photographer. An expanded look at photographs taken between 1962 and 1971 in then-Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary, France, and Spain. Revisits the artist's original intention for the work and is based on the maquette prepared in 1968 by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kopriva. Koudelka intended to publish the work in Prague, but was forced to flee Czechoslovakia, landing eventually in Paris. In 1975, Robert Delpire, Aperture, and Koudelka collaborated to publish 'Gitans, la fin du voyage', a selection of 60 photographs taken in various settlements around East Slovakia" (Publisher's blurb). The book restores and incorporates 30 images that appear in published form for the very first time. Except for the title itself, Guy restores the name these great people call themselves, "Roma", Gypsies being their marginalized/outsider-status appellation. Guy helps us understand their status as an oppressed (yet irrepressible) minority, a people who originally came from India and remain nomadic to this day. As such, they are exactly like our human ancestors. Constantly moving and never permanently settling down in one place are in their blood, making their presence in modern, stable societies de-stabilizing and un-settling. An absolute "must-have" title for Josef Koudelka collectors. This title is a great photography book. This is one of few copies of the 2011 Aperture First Edition Thus/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

Enclosed in its own inner protective plastic sheet and outer cardboard flat box. Processed on FujiColor paper. Eminently suitable for framing. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a collectible format, Vik Muniz's "The White Iris, After Edward Weston, 2012". One of the photographer's most ingeniously crafted, romantic, and beautiful images. It perfectly captures Vik Muniz's practice and aesthetic. "I used 'The Daybooks of Edward Weston', and Weston's photograph of his lover, Tina Modotti, when invited by Aperture in 2011 to make a new piece inspired by a publication from Aperture's history. Most of my work is about the bits and parts, the mechanisms and gears, that make an image work. For this picture, I remade Weston's image of Modotti by using Weston's words, torn out of a copy of 'The Daybooks' " (Vik Muniz). An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Vik Muniz collectors. This original print is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on verso by Vik Muniz. It is signed directly on the print itself, not on a tipped-in page or bookplate. This title is a contemporary classic.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 145 pages. Published in 2012. New And Expanded Edition of the artist/photographer's masterpiece. One of the most brilliant Conceptual art photography books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition Thus is now scarce. A brilliant production by Aperture and Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago: Oversize-volume format. Glossy pictorial hard boards with titles on spine, as issued. Photographs by Lynne Cohen. Text by Britt Salvesen and David Byrne. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Singapore to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. In thick pictorial plastic DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Re-presents, in its now-definitive format, Lynne Cohen's "Occupied Territory". Space as "topographic" reality - well before it was recognized and named as such. "In 1987, Aperture published Lynne Cohen's first monograph, an exploration of space as simulated experience: A sham reality, artificial, idealized, and standardized. This Expanded And Updated Edition situates her work within the lineage of Lewis Baltz, Stephen Shore, and other celebrated 'New Topographics' photographers. In the twenty years of work contained in the book, Cohen turns her camera toward classrooms, science laboratories, testing facilities, waiting rooms, and other interior spaces where function triumphs over aesthetics. What decorations the inhabitants might have added to these rooms to make them more inviting, mostly attempts at warmth or individualism, only serve to amplify their artifice and uniformity. Surveys a society of surface, contradiction, and social engineering. In her hands, clouds peel off walls, forest glades invade indoor tennis courts, and the awkward lives of furniture are revealed. Records the world's readymade sculptures, waiting to be framed by the photograph" (Publisher's blurb). Includes twenty images that appear in published form for the very first time (there were 87 plates in the original, 107 in this complete edition), which enhance our re-appraisal and renew our appreciation of Cohen's visionary project. An absolute "must-have" title for Lynne Cohen collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Lynne Cohen. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on the strip of white paper (that was then pasted on the page) through which she signed most copies towards the end of her life (Lynne Cohen died in 2012). As such, her signature on this copy is the best we have ever seen. This title is an art photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the New And Expanded Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

Black cloth boards with white titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Susan Meiselas. Edited by Claire Rosenberg. "Nicaragua: Forty Years Later" appended at the end. The latter appears in this edition only and for the very first time. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards.

The photographer's cinematic coverage of the Nicaraguan Revolution: Full-page color photographs arranged in chronological order that tell their compelling and dramatic story solely through still images. "An extraordinary narrative of a nation in turmoil. Traces the evolution of the popular resistance that led to the insurrection, culminating with the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979. As the 40th Anniversary approaches, Aperture has reissued the book with an Augmented Reality ("AR") function, bringing a selection of images to life via clips from Meiselas' films, 'Pictures From A Revolution' (1991) and 'Reframing History' (2004), a documentation of her return in 2004 with 19 mural-sized images of her photographs, to collaborate with local communities to create sites for collective memory" (Publisher's blurb). A graduate of Harvard University, Susan Meiselas taught at various public schools before joining The Magnum Agency in 1976. She burst into national and international prominence with her very first book, "Carnival Strippers", a collection of black-and-white photographs of professional strippers in New England states. Her shift to color represents an achievement of the first rank in the history of photojournalism. Indeed, very few have used color to capture spontaneous events with such sensitivity, beauty, and overwhelming power: "Color photographs of this kind inevitably give way to gore or to the aestheticization of violence. Here, instead, we have enormous control, a sense of the everyday, and a vitality rooted in an active community" (John Berger). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Meiselas collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, placed, and dated in black ink-pen on the half-title page by the photographer: "Susan Meiselas 6/2/17 Chicago". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Exhibition Catalog during which event her signature was obtained. This title is a great photography book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, placed, and dated copy of the Second Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

Presents Jean Pigozzi's "A Short Visit To Planet Earth". Photographs of everything that has caught the wandering, penetrating eye of THE bon vivant par excellence of our time. "A visual diary of our times which is star-studded, witty, and a bit bizarre. An international insider whose candid photographs of his famous and infamous friends (from Mick Jagger to Gianni Agnelli) make him a paparazzo in style only. His camera reveals, but never betrays. His humor tweaks, but never wounds" (Publisher's blurb). The most inspired section is the collection of self-deprecating portraits that show him posing with celebrities, "photo-souvenir" style. In all of them, Pigozzi cozies up with the celebrity, and then brags: "Here I am with Isabella Rossellini. Eat your heart out". Which makes these portraits the exact opposite of the paparazzi's, invasive outsiders who could never ever come close to their subject-targets. That's because Pigozzi was himself a reigning celebrity among the Rich, Creative, and Famous (his ethos, if that is the right word, harks back to Lartigue), who knew all his subjects well, hobnobbed with them as their equal if not superior, and was as rich as - richer than - many, if not most, of them. As such, his photographs are unique in the history of photography as a record, for better and for worse, of our dominant celebrity-cum-entertainment culture. An absolute "must-have" title for Jean Pigozzi collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (in the year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the photographer: "Jean Pigozzi N. Y.1991". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, placed, and publication-year dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Jean Pigozzi did NOT sign most copies. A rare signed copy thus. Hundreds of black-and-white plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 148 pages. Published in 1999. Retrospective collection of landscape photographs. Now considered a contemporary art photography classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Wendy Byrne: Oversize-volume format. Pale gray cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Ray K. Metzker. Essay, "Voyage of Discovery", by Evan H. Turner. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from November 18, 2000 through February 11, 2001. Presents Ray K. Metzker's "Landscapes". Natural landscapes by the photographer who is celebrated for showing the enigmatic beauty, formal elegance, and quiet desperation of the landscape called the city. Marks most of the images' very first appearance in book form. Whereas his street photographs have a fluidity and volatility about them (because the city itself does), Metzker's landscapes are unique and discrete visual experiences of stasis and constancy. Of course, the natural landscape changes, too, all the time. But as Evan H. Hunter points out in his brilliant Essay, they do so more slowly, at a much less hectic and sometimes glacial pace. Metzker's "dream landscape" is one that somehow captures or hints at this "time-stands-still" quality on film. His landscapes have their antecedent not in Robert Adams, but in the canonical work of the great Nature artist of Modernism, Claude Monet. "For me, to photograph is to wander with camera in hand, looking at everything along the way. What ultimately gives meaning and satisfaction to this act is discovering something I had not known, seen, or felt previously" (Ray K. Metzker). An absolute "must-have" title for Ray K. Metzker collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Ray K. Metzker. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 97 duotone and tritone plates, 44 illustrations. One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER RAY K.

Subject-wise, Martin Parr's finest achievement. Limited Slipcased Edition of 1000 numbered and signed copies.

The book design is that of a full-fledged photo album, complete with black string-tied spine, tissue-paper overlay on each page, and scrapbook hinges upon each photograph. Photographs by Martin Parr.

The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In publisher's original plastic wrappers. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a Limited Edition format, Martin Parr's "Life's A Beach". The extremely prolific photographer's most iconic collection. "In the United Kingdom, one is never more than seventy-five miles away from the coast. With this much shoreline, it's not surprising that there is a strong British tradition of photography by the seaside. American photographers may have given birth to street photography. But according to Martin Parr, 'in the UK, we have the beach'. There, people can relax, be themselves, and show off all those traces of mildly eccentric British behavior. Parr has been photographing this subject for decades, documenting all aspects of the tradition. This obsession has led Parr to photograph beaches across the world: Photos of beach-goers on far-flung shores, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Japan, the United States, Mexico, Thailand, among others. Immersing us in the rituals and traditions associated with beach life the world over" (Publisher's blurb). Martin Parr's breakthrough was "The Last Resort" (1986), which depicts the seaside resort of New Brighton. He has photographed many other subjects since then. But he keeps coming back, inescapably, to his true subject because it is his original inspiration: In case you hadn't noticed, the saturated colors of Parr's body of work, identified with him and is his "trademark" as our colorist-photographer, derive from the beach, in all its sunburned intensity. "The British approach to sunburn was simple: Get out there and upgrade yesterday's patchy burns into something of more uniform severity" (Jonathan Lee). An absolute "must-have" title for Martin Parr collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition, indicated/serial-numbered as such on both the Cardboard Slipcase and the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in green pen-marker in front by Martin Parr. This title is a great art photography book. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's original plastic wrappers, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online command as much as $700. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 98 hinged color plates. The most influential and most important British photographer of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARTIN PARR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1597112240. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 93 pages. Published in 1992. Retrospective collection of photographs. One of the most important art photography books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Richard Misrach: Oversize-volume format. Orange cloth boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Richard Misrach. Story, "The View From The Ark", by Susan Sontag. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ, which shows an extreme close-up of a "found" portrait of the great rock n' roll star, Ray Charles, and titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Richard Misrach's "Violent Legacies: Three Cantos". One of the photographer's most brilliant sequences. In a lifetime of creating photography that is politically committed and beautiful at the same time, Misrach demonstrates, more than many other photographers, that political art (which is not the same thing as documentary "concerned photography" of the Magnum Agency/Sebastiao Salgado kind) is alive and well. Misrach photographs with precision, eloquent use of color, and piercing gaze the detritus left behind in America's great deserts by the atom bomb experiments that eventually led to the actual bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The photographs are presented in several parts, and have the cumulative power of elegy. Misrach achieves beauty through wordless juxtaposition, a technique that he has mastered over the years. Misrach does not set out to create a work of art in the conventional sense, but rather uses the same aesthetic methods in order to make the viewer pay attention and be aware of the destructive impulses implied in some, not all, beautiful images. An absolute "must-have" title for Richard Misrach collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Richard Misrach. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It is also very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the same page by Susan Sontag. This title is a great art photography book. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (discreet remainder mark on the bottom) is still in especially fine condition: The cloth boards, DJ, and all of the inside pages are clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Misrach signed a few copies. This is the only copy also signed by Sontag we have ever seen. A rare signed copy thus. 67 color plates. One of the most important photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER RICHARD MISRACH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0893815195. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 132 pages. Published in 2005. The artist/photographer's masterpiece, re-presented as an Artist Book. One of the greatest art photography books of our time. Limited Clamshell Box Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. The Limited Edition is now rare. An exquisite production by Eikoh Hosoe, Ikko Tanaka, and Tadanori Yokoo: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial cloth boards with blue titles on spine, as issued. Photographs by Eikoh Hosoe. Choreography by Tatsumi Hijikata. Introduction by Shuzo Takiguchi. Poem by Toyoichiro Miyoshi. Clamshell box design by Tadanori Yokoo, the greatest graphic artist/designer of our time. In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Tokyo, Japan to the highest standards. In pristine glassine DJ with blue titles on the cover, as issued. Re-presents, in a stunning Limited Edition format, Eikoh Hosoe's "Kamaitachi". The artist/photographer's masterpiece, re-imagined for our time: The book as beautiful object. Originally published in 1969, it has never before been available outside Japan and has been out-of-print for more than 40 years. "Each of the pages is printed as an individual gatefold, each of which opens to reveal a single, stunning black-and-white image. The exterior of each gatefold is printed in a spectacular azure blue. The effect of opening the book is of stepping into an unknown landscape of theater and baroque sensuality. A singular collaboration between Eikoh Hosoe and the founder of Butoh Dance, Tatsumi Hijikata: In 1965, Hosoe and Hijikata visited a small farming village in Northern Japan. Drawing in the villagers as performers and using the rice fields and rural landscape as a theatrical set for an improvisational Butoh performance, Hosoe photographed Hijikata's spontaneous interactions with the landscape and with the people they encountered. Hosoe has called the project 'a subjective documentary', an investigation of tradition and an exploration both personal and symbolic of the convulsions of Japanese society. It was inspired by the legend of the Kamaitachi, a weasel-like demon who haunts the rice fields and slashes those who encounter him" (Publisher's blurb). Hosoe called "Kamaitachi" a subjective documentary because it is his most personal work, a poignant attempt to recapture his wartime childhood in a visual (rather than narrative) way, by capturing Hijikata's choreographic flourish and grace in panoramic landscapes. An absolute "must-have" title for Eikoh Hosoe collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Clamshell Box Edition, indicated as such on the Front Limitation Slip. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in azure-blue ink-pen by Eikoh Hosoe. Hosoe also stamped it with his red "chop". This title is a great art photography book. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The clamshell box of many copies was very badly damaged in transit because of poor packing on the publisher's part, resulting in splits at the edges, bumps, and crushed corners. The edition that was simultaneously released in Japan does not come in Tadanori Yokoo's clamshell box, but in a simple slipcase. Copies of the 1969 original now command more than $8000. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 40 tritone plates. "Ba Ra Kei" and "Kamaitachi" were selected as two of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest artist/photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.
