STEIDL/THE ROBERT FRANK PROJECT

New Edition!

Robert Frank: The AmericansIntroduction by Jack Kerouac.On May 15, 1958, the first edition of Robert Frank’s The Americans was publishedin Paris. Les Américains was part of a series of books which presented foreigncountries through words and pictures. It contained Frank’s 83 photographs in thesame sequence as all subsequent editions, with the image on the right handpage juxtaposed with texts from American social and political history, gatheredby Alain Bosquet. The following year in the first American edition, the Frenchtexts were removed and an introduction by Jack Kerouac was added. Over thesubsequent 50 years, The Americans has been republished in many editions, innumerous languages, with a variety of cover designs and even in a range ofsizes. It is the most famous photobook ever published, and it changed the faceof the medium forever.Robert Frank discussed with his publisher, Gerhard Steidl, the idea of producing anew version using modern scanning and the finest tritone printing. The startingpoint was to bring the original prints to Göttingen, Germany, where Steidl isbased, from New York.In July, 2007, Frank visited Göttingen. A new format for the book was worked outand new typography selected. A new cover was designed and Frank personallychose the book cloth, foil for embossing and the endpaper. Most significantly, inthe process of working out the layout of the photographs on the page, Frankchose to reproduce un-cropped examples of the photographs when available.Two images were changed completely from the original 1958 and 1959 editions.Then, on a sunny day in July of 2007, the presses started rolling and Robert Frankpersonally supervised the printing of this latest edition of The Americans.Robert Frank was born in Zurich in 1924 to parents of Jewish descent. He emigrat-ed to the United States two years after World War II ended, and since then he hasproduced work that changed the history of art and photography. Groundbreakingprojects include The Americans, Lines of My Hand, Thank You, Black White andThings, Pull My Daisy and Cocksucker Blues. Frank was the subject of a major retro-spective organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. in 1994. Hewas awarded the Hasselblad Award for photography in 1996. A major travelingexhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art will tour nationally in 2008and 2009, with stops in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and New York.

Lee Friedlander: Photographs Frederick Law Olmsted LandscapesText by Lee Friedlander.A natural chronicler of all things uniquely American, photogra-pher Lee Friedlander here puts his lens to the work of FrederickLaw Olmsted (1822–1903), designer of many of this country’s mosticonic public landscapes and the father of North American land-scape architecture. Olmsted was responsible for a staggeringnumber of America’s greatest parks, including the Niagara reser-vation (North America’s oldest state park), Washington Park, theBiltmore Estate, the U.S. Capitol building landscape and entireparkway systems in Buffalo and Louisville. His most famous workremains New York City’s Central Park, a pioneering egalitarian ges-ture that, at the time, was very unusual for its ready accessibility.This book, published to coincide with The Metropolitan Museumof Art’s 2008 exhibition, compiles 40 photographs made byFriedlander in Olmsted’s public parks and private estates.This stunning collection of rich tritones celebrates the complex,idiosyncratic picture-making of one of the country’s greatestliving photographers, and also arrives upon the 150 yearanniversary of Olmsted’s 1858 design for Central Park. Ramblingacross bridges and through open meadows and dense under-growth, Friedlander locates a pure pleasure in Olmsted’sdesigns—in the meticulous stonework, the balance of exposureto shade and in the mature, weather-beaten trees that attestto the durability of Olmsted’s vision.Born in 1934, Lee Friedlander is one of the world’s mostimportant living photographers. Among his previous books are the seminal Self Portrait and The American Monument,and more recently, American Musicians, Letters from the People,Little Screens, The Desert Seen and Sticks & Stones. His work wasthe subject of a major 2005 retrospective at The Museum ofModern Art, New York, which travels to SFMOMA in 2008.

What artist so noble...as he who, with far-reaching conception of beauty,in designing power, sketches the outlines, writes the colors, and directs theshadows of a picture so great that Nature shall be employed upon it for generations, before the work he arranged for her shall realize his intentions.

—Frederick Law Olmsted

Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other RoomsA Guide to 817 Items in 2 Hours 56 MinutesEdited by Eva Meyer-Hermann. Text by Eva Meyer-Hermann, Matt Wrbican,Geralyn Huxley, Greg Pierce, Hal Foster.Beyond the familiar Campbell’s Soup cans, Brillo boxes, silkscreened MarilynMonroes and floating silver mylar pillows, 20 years after Pop icon AndyWarhol’s death, we are still picking through his incredibly prolific output tounderstand what his artistic legacy actually is. Andy Warhol: Other Voices, OtherRooms, published on the occasion of the major exhibition by the same name atAmsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, provides some new insight, digging intoWarhol’s lesser-known film, video and audio tape works. Important—and just alittle scandalous—films like Blow Job and Kiss, audio tapes of celebrities, friendsand anonymous hangers-on talking and other marginalia are consideredalongside a selection of key photographs, drawings, screen prints and spatialinstallations, such as the spectacular “Silver Clouds,” originally shown in 1966.Edited by Eva Meyer-Hermann and with contributions by Geralyn Huxley, GregPierce and Warhol Museum Archivist, Matt Wrbican, who is currently unpackinghundreds of never-before-seen Warhol Time Capsules in Pittsburgh, this volumebrings readers up to date with the most recent developments in the way wesee the late artist’s oeuvre.Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1928. In 1949, afterattending the School of Fine Arts at what is now Carnegie Mellon University, hemoved to New York City, where he embarked on a successful career as a com-mercial illustrator. It was in the 1960s that he began his iconic Campbell’s Souppaintings and honed his trademark deadpan persona. Throughout the 1960sand 70s, Warhol created silkscreen paintings, sculptures and films, promotedthe fledgling rock band, The Velvet Underground, and produced Interview mag-azine. After surviving a gunshot wound inflicted by the infamous ValerieSolanis in 1968, Warhol died during a routine gallbladder operation in 1987.

STEIDL/SWEDISH BOOKS/MODERNA MUSEET

New Edition!

Andy WarholCatalogue Published on the Occasion of the Andy Warhol Exhibition atModerna Museet in Stockholm, February-March 1968Edited by Andy Warhol, Pontus Hulten, Kasper König, Olle Granath.Famed and prized among Andy Warhol aficionados, the Swedish Moderna Museet’s massive catalogue for the artist’s 1968 solo exhibition was one of the great accomplishments of art publishing. In The Photobook: A History,Volume II: A History, Martin Parr and Gerry Badger describe it as “a quintessential photobook, cornucopias of photo-graphic imagery in which found photographs, snapshots, photographs by Warhol’s associates, photographic reproduc-tions of his ‘paintings’ (themselves silk-screened photographs) and other kinds of imagery are collaged to talk about one basic subject—the gargantuan ego and artistic talent of Andy Warhol. . . It is an exhibition catalogue thattranscends any limitations that might be suggested by this genre.” The text for the Moderna Museet catalogue is alsosignificant: instead of essays, the editors let the artist speak for himself, in a series of quotations published in Englishand Swedish. Here, Warhol’s most famous aphorism first saw print: “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.” Most of the images in this book derive from a photo album donated by Warhol to the ModernaMuseet that contains several hundred black-and-white photos from his life in the second half of the 1960s. Many were taken by the photographers Billy Name and Stephen Shore, who both got their first assignments through theirphotographs of artists, rock stars, models, actors and others in the circles around Warhol at the Factory. Other featured photographers in the book include Rudy Burckhardt, Eric Pollitzer and John D. Schiff. For Moderna Museet’s fiftiethanniversary in 2008, and its exhibition Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms (created in collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam), Steidl adds to the celebrations by reprinting a new edition of this classic book.

HATJE CANTZ

Gustave CourbetText by Sylvain Amic, Kathryn Calley Galitz, Laurence des Cars, Dominique Lobstein,Bruno Mottin, Thomas Galifot, Bertrand Tillier.Nowadays it is difficult to conceive of the impact that Gustave Courbet’s paintings made on Frenchart of the mid-nineteenth century. At once casting himself as revolutionary, bohemian and peasant,Courbet (1819–1877) overturned a deeply-entrenched tradition of academic painting in France, and,eschewing the Romanticism of Delacroix and the Neoclassicism of Ingres, coined instead an idiomhe named “Realism.” Realism was not pretty, classically proportioned or literary; rather, it confrontedthe conditions of rural working life, then an unimaginable subject for art. The first masterpiece ofthis new style was “Burial at Ornans” (1849–1850), a colossal anti-epic that depicted an ordinaryfuneral in Courbet’s home town. The contrast between the work’s scale and its subject matter waspronounced, and its murky earth tones struck critics as willfully ugly—a defining reaction thatwould recur throughout the Modern period, particularly in the reception of early works by Manetand Picasso. Courbet’s palette emphasized mass and body politically—that is, in a manner thataffirmed the world itself rather than the transcendence of it. His equally famous “The Origin of theWorld” of 1866, which presented the female genitalia close-up, made this stance explicit. The con-ceptual beginnings of the “painting of Modern life” are as much in Courbet’s Realism as in CharlesBaudelaire’s famous essay of the same name.In this new assessment, published on the occasion of the major 2008 traveling exhibition,renowned experts shed light on the development of Courbet’s realistic, critical style and trace his influence on his contemporaries and subsequent generations, as well as his relationship to early photography. At 480 pages, this monumental volume provides a long overdue reckoning ofthis great artist’s work.

Marlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own GraveEdited by Lisa Gabrielle Mark. Text by Cornelia H. Butler, RichardShiff, Matthew Monahan, Lisa G. Mark.In her expressionistic drawings and paintings of the last three decades,acclaimed South African artist Marlene Dumas has focused on thehuman figure, probing themes of love, desire, despair and confusion in order to slyly critique social and political attitudes toward women,children, people of color and others who have historically been victim-ized. From her evocative portraits, based on photographs of friends and family as well as figures culled from printed pornography, to herlarge-scale images highlighting charged relationships within groups,Dumas’ work explores the contradictions behind the physical reality ofthe body, merging acute social commentary with personal experienceand art-historical antecedent to create unsettling and ambiguous psychological statements.Accompanying Dumas’ first major mid-career survey in the U.S., withstops in three major American cities (one yet to be announced), thissubstantial, fully-illustrated publication features a newly commissionedessay by renowned scholar Richard Shiff, placing the artist’s work inrelation to both American figurative painting since the 1980s andAbstract Expressionism. The book also includes curator Cornelia H.Butler’s examination of Dumas’ photographic sources and shorter texts by Lisa Gabrielle Mark and Matthew Monahan. Writings by the artist, as well as an extensive illustrated exhibition history and bibliography, complete this comprehensive examination of the work of one of the most thought-provoking artists working today.Marlene Dumas was born in 1953 in Capetown, South Africa. After studying at the Michealis School of Fine Arts there, she relocated to theNetherlands, where she studied in Haarlem and Amsterdam. She hasparticipated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at theCentre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Hirshhorn Museum and SculptureGarden, Washington, D.C.; the Tate Gallery, London; and the Museum fürModerne Kunst, Frankfurt.

WALKER ART CENTER

Worlds AwayNew Suburban LandscapesEdited by Andrew Blauvelt. Text by John Archer, David Brooks,Robert Bruegmann, Beatriz Colomina, Malcolm Gladwell.The suburbs have always been a fertile space for imagining both the bestand the worst of modern social life. Portrayed alternately as a middle-classdomestic utopia and a dystopic world of homogeneity and conformity—with manicured suburban lawns and the inchoate darkness that lurks justbeneath the surface—these stereotypes belie a more realistic understanding of contemporary suburbia and its dynamic transformations. Organized bythe Walker Art Center in association with the Heinz Architectural Center atCarnegie Museum of Art, Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes is the firstmajor museum exhibition to examine both the art and architecture of the contemporary American suburb. Featuring paintings, photographs, prints,architectural models, sculptures and video from more than 30 artists and architects, including Christopher Ballantyne, Center for Land Use Interpretation,Gregory Crewdson, Estudio Teddy Cruz, Dan Graham and Larry Sultan, WorldsAway demonstrates the catalytic role of the American suburb in the creation of new art and prospective architecture. Conceived as a revisionist and evencontrarian take on the conventional wisdom surrounding suburban life,the catalogue features new essays and seminal writings by John Archer,Robert Beuka, Robert Breugmann, David Brooks, Beatriz Colomina, MalcolmGladwell and others, as well as a lexicon of suburban neologisms.

The best ideas are usually the simplest ones. Fritz Haegdeserves a genius award for his wonderful, subversive plan.Instead of mowing your lawn, you should eat it.

—Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation

Wherever I am, I’m always looking to see what’s edible in thelandscape. Every time I see the median strip in the street infront of Chez Panisse, I can’t help but imagine it planted withwaving rows of corn. Edible Estates describes wonderfully howa garden in front of every house can transform a neighbor-hood, sprouting the seeds not just of zucchini and tomatoesbut of biodiversity, sustainability and community.

—Alice Waters, owner, Chez Panisse

In the future, that quarter-acre next to the house may be asvaluable as the house itself. This book reminds us that thereare things better than lawns—more beautiful, more hopeful,more fun.

—Bill McKibben, author of The Bill McKibben Reader

Much like a homegrown tomato, Edible Estates is at oncedelectable, inspiring and healthy. Read it: You’ll never look atyour front lawn the same way again.

Home DeliveryFabricating the Modern DwellingEdited by Barry Bergdoll, Peter Christensen. Text by Barry Bergdoll,Ken Tadashi Oshima, Rasmus Wærn.As the world’s population swells and the need for sustainable ways of livinggrows ever more urgent and obvious, prefabricated architecture has taken cen-ter stage. Even before our current predicaments, the mass-produced, factory-made home had a distinguished history, having served as a vital precept in thedevelopment of Modern architecture. Today, with the digital revolution reor-ganizing the relationship between drafting board and factory, it continues tospur innovative manufacturing and design, and its potential has clearly not yetcome to fruition. Home Delivery traces the history of prefabrication in architec-ture, from its early roots in colonial cottages though the work of such figuresas Jean Prouvé and Buckminster Fuller, and mass-produced variants such as the Lustron house, to a group of full-scale contemporary houses commissionedspecifically for the MoMA exhibition that this book accompanies. In addition to an introductory essay by Barry Bergdoll, Chief Curator in the Museum’sDepartment of Architecture and Design, this volume contains essays on prefabricated housing in Japan and in Nordic countries by Ken Tadashi Oshimaand Rasmus Wærn, respectively. It also includes focused texts on approximately45 historical projects and five commissions, as well as a bibliography andchronology.

Sorry, Out of GasArchitecture’s Response to the 1973 Oil CrisisEdited by Giovanna Borasi, Mirko Zardini. Texts by Adam Bobbette,Daria Der Kaloustian, Pierre-Édouard Latouche, Caroline Maniaque.The year 1973 marks one of the most important turning points in the historyof the twentieth century. Prior to that year, the world had become accus-tomed to a plentiful supply of inexpensive fossil fuels—especially oil. Duringthis first major international oil crisis, however, the western world’s depend-ency on unstable eastern energy resources became dramatically clear.Published to accompany the comprehensive and enlightening 2008 exhibition,1973: Sorry, Out of Gas, hosted by the Canadian Centre for Architecture inMontreal, this beautifully designed, frightening and strangely inspiring volumeexamines the oil crisis of 1973 as the major precedent of contemporary con-cerns about energy resources and fossil fuel dependency. The 1973 shortagetriggered research and development of renewable energy sources, improvedtechnologies and sparked social experiments that were to have an enduringimpact on the fields of architecture and policy in both America and Europe.Put together by the acclaimed Italian book designer Massimo Pitis, this vol-ume includes a monumental stash of documentary photographs, ephemera,documents, transcripts and original writings on all things related to the oilcrisis—from Jimmy Carter to underground utopias. Reproductions covereverything from impossible traffic jams leading up to empty gas stations toboard games with names like Energy Quest and Petrol. Specially conceivedfor this occasion, an illustrated tale by Harriet Russell, whose work is regu-larly featured in Time Out and the Guardian, introduces the ideas behindthis book from a child’s point of view. Russell’s drawings depict ironic andhumorous situations that will familiarize children with energy-saving andoil dependency concerns.

New Edition!

Robert Adams: The New WestForeword by John Szarkowski.Originally published in 1974, Robert Adams’ The New West signaleda paradigm shift in the photographic representation of Americanlandscapes. Foregoing photography’s traditional role of romanticiz-ing the western landscape, Adams focused instead on the construc-tion of tract and mobile homes, subdivisions, shopping centers and urban sprawl in the suburbs of Colorado Springs and theDenver area. Adams transmuted these zones with his minimalistvision of their austerity; as he has noted, “no place is boring, ifyou’ve had a good night’s sleep and have a pocket full of unexposedfilm.” Objective and direct, Adams’ photographs, rendered in his signature middle-gray scale, unsentimentally depict a despoiledlandscape washed in the intense Colorado sunlight. Today The New West stands alongside Walker Evans’ American Photographs,Robert Frank’s The Americans and Stephen Shore’s UncommonPlaces in the pantheon of landmark projects on American cultureand society. This second reissue of the classic publication has beenrecreated from Adams’ original prints, and will be released ahead of a major traveling exhibition that will launch in 2010. Foreword by John Szarkowski.Robert Adams, born in California in 1937, has worked as a photogra-pher of the changing American landscape over the past fourdecades. He has been awarded Guggenheim and MacArthurFoundation fellowships. His many books include What We Bought,Summer Nights, Los Angeles Spring and To Make it Home, as well ashis Aperture titles Beauty in Photography, Why People Photographand Along Some Rivers. His work is in the collections of The Museumof Modern Art, New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art andthe J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

Bill OwensFiction by A.M. Homes. Text by Bill Owens, Claudia Zanfi.A black-and-white photograph captures a woman, curlers in her hair and ababy in her arms, standing in a messy kitchen and saying, “How can I worryabout the damned dishes when there are children dying in Vietnam?”California photographer Bill Owens is best known for his critically acclaimedseries Suburbia, which was published as a monograph in 1972, and has longbeen considered one of the classic photo books of the era. For this influentialand evocative project, Owens simply shot friends and acquaintances in hisLivermore, California, neighborhood and allowed them to speak for themselves.Ordinary people had rarely been so riveting.A comprehensive monograph, this volume consists of several sections of workfrom 1969 to the present, opening at the height of flower power, with imagesof the Beat generation, Woodstock and the protests against Vietnam. Owenshas always remained intrigued by America as a subject: there follows a seriesof images focusing on urban America, its endless grids and homogeneouscities. In his most recent photos, many of which are in color and previouslyunpublished, Owens reveals how suburbia has evolved in the last 40 years—from the friendly place he captured in the 1970s to one characterized by sprawland anonymity.Bill Owens was born in San José, California, in 1938, and has been working as aphotographer since 1969. In 1977, he received a National Endowment for theArts award. His work has since been included in many museum collections,including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Paris National Library. This is his fourth monograph.

William Christenberry: Working fromMemoryCollected StoriesEdited by Susanne Lange.Working from Memory is a collection of stories by the renowned pho-tographer, painter and sculptor William Christenberry. Based on conver-sations with author and critic Susanne Lange, these stories elaboratethe artist’s memories of the Deep South, in whose rich literary traditionthey are steeped. In a lyrical but lucid prose, they set personal experi-ence against the backdrop of important political and cultural momentsin the southern states, endowing that landscape with a vividness thatwill be familiar to fans of the artist’s photography. Christenberry’s ownphotographs accompany these tales.Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1936, William Christenberry grew up inthe Deep South, where old road signs, deteriorating buildings and dirtroads shaped his boyhood memories. During his early career,Christenberry was primarily a painter, but he soon began to incorporatethe use of a Brownie camera into his practice. In 1961 he moved to NewYork and met Walker Evans, the celebrated photographer of the FarmSecurity Administration, who had documented the devastating effect ofthe Great Depression in the South. Evans’ photographs—many fromChristenberry’s home area—particularly influenced Christenberry’swork as an artist. In 1968 he moved to Washington D.C. and joined thefaculty of the Corcoran School of Art and Design, where he continues towork as a professor of drawing and painting. Today, Christenberry’sinternational stature continues to grow as his work is featured in many museums throughout the United States and abroad.

Paul Fusco: RFK Funeral TrainText by Norman Mailer, Evan Thomas, Senator Edward M. Kennedy.On June 5, 1968, while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated at theAmbassador Hotel in Los Angeles. His death, which occurred only twomonths after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., came as a terrible shock to an already-grieving nation. Three days later, a funeral traincarried his coffin from New York to its final resting place in ArlingtonCemetery. Hundreds of thousands of people stood in the searing heat as thetrain traveled slowly en route to Washington, D.C. Paul Fusco, then a staffphotographer for Look magazine, accompanied the train on its journey. Theimages he made convey the respect the American people—both rich andpoor, black and white—held for RFK, a man who had come to symbolizesocial justice. As Fusco writes, “when Bobby rose to try to reestablish a government of hope, the hearts of Americans quickened and excitementflared. Then tragedy struck again. The blow was monumental.” Two previousversions of RFK Funeral Train—a 1999 limited-edition and a 2000 edition(now out-of-print)—have been heralded as contemporary classics. This newlyexpanded volume—released to commemorate the fortieth anniversary ofKennedy’s death—offers 30 never-before-published images, alongside amemoir of Kennedy by Norman Mailer and a retelling of the assassination by Newsweek editor and RFK biographer Evan Thomas.Paul Fusco was born in Leominster, Massachusetts, in 1930. A member ofMagnum Photos since 1974, he began his career photographing for the U.S.Signal Core during the Korean War. He studied photojournalism at OhioUniversity and his work has been widely published and exhibited, includingexhibitions at the Photographers’ Gallery, London, and the InternationalFestival of Photojournalism, Perpignan, France.

Rock ‘n’ Roll 39–59Text by Charlie Gillett, Peter Guralnick, David Halberstam,Greil Marcus, Florent Mazzoleni, Robert Palmer, AlfredWertheimer. Conversations between Alain Dominique Perrinand Gregg Geller.Snare drum backbeat plus electric guitar: the simple formula thatlaunched the rock star, and contemporary teen culture along withit. Today, rock ‘n’ roll seems to define postwar American culture,especially in its impact abroad. Though its inception is oftenimagined as sudden and seismic, it was, of course, a gradual andcomplex transition from boogie-woogie to the stardom of ElvisPresley and Bill Haley. A thorough survey of rock ‘n’ roll’s bloodlinewould even reach back as far as 1939, a time when the electricguitar’s role was mostly played by piano or saxophone. Rock ‘n’ Roll39-59 does this, with the assistance of some of the genre’s finestphotographers. Bruce Davidson, Wayne Miller, Robert W. Kelley,Esther Bubley, Eve Arnold and Ernest C. Withers are all here, amida wealth of visual props, including priceless period posters,records, rare souvenirs, photographs and film stills, and indices of the movement’s key venues, events, artists, producers and people. This book describes a lively mess of genres, from boogie-woogie to blues, gospel, big band jazz, country and, most of all,rhythm and blues—interbreeding against a backdrop of colossalsocial change, and culminating in the rock ‘n’ roll explosion of the mid-1950s.

Diego Rivera: IllustratorText by Raquel Tibol.Best known for his epic mural production, Mexican artist Diego Rivera was also animportant easel painter and—as this book eloquently demonstrates—an extraordi-nary illustrator. This volume takes a detailed and long-overdue look at this rich and significant facet of Rivera’s immense oeuvre: the illustrations he contributed to booksand periodical publications over the course of his long career. Accompanying thenumerous reproductions is a long and splendidly researched essay by noted art criticRaquel Tibol, an expert on the artist’s work. The panorama of Rivera’s themes—Modernist poetry, political issues, Mexican folklore, pre-Columbian America and manyothers—take the reader on a tour of the history of Mexican art in the first half of the twentieth century. Even those who think they know Rivera’s work will find newaspects to explore in this beautiful book.Diego Rivera (1886–1957) was a mural painter, watercolorist, illustrator, husband to Frida Kahlo and a Communist who was ejected from most of the political organiza-tions he joined. When he included a portrait of Lenin in his 1933 mural for the RCABuilding in New York, the ensuing uproar led to his dismissal and to the mural’sdestruction. Similarly, a 1948 mural for the Hotel de Prado in Mexico that included the words “God does not exist” was concealed from public view for nine years.

Manuel Manilla: Mexican EngraverMonograph of 598 PrintsText by Mercurio López Casillas. Introduction by Jean Charlot.Horned, animated human skeletons, nineteenth century circus figures, devils, demons, card sharps,conjurers, bullfighters and boxers are just some of the 600 images that populate this exquisitely tactile first book in English devoted entirely to the Mexican engraver Manuel Manilla—a remarkablyoriginal artist in his own right, and an influence on his more famous colleague and successor, JoséGuadalupe Posada. Manilla’s illustrations for newspapers, broadsides, posters, chapbooks, pamphletsand games are the work of a sensitive portraitist of Mexican social mores, an artist of magical imagination and a master engraver. Richly illustrated with examples of every aspect of Manilla’sextremely diverse work, the volume includes an authoritative text on Manilla by Mercurio LópezCasillas. In addition to offering an overview of the work of this still little-known artist, the essay clarifies the often tangled publishing history of the images and deals with the difficult questions of authorship and attribution in the world of late-nineteenth-century broadside, periodical andpenny press publications. A useful chronology of Manilla’s life and work is also included. Finally,a special feature of the book, whose striking design recalls the famous Mexican Folkways monographdevoted to Posada in 1930, is the reprint of a text by the 1920s mural painter Jean Charlot, one of the first artists to recognize the importance of Manilla in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution.

Images of Death in Mexican PrintsText by Mercurio López Casillas.Over the past two centuries, Mexican culture has kept up a unique dialogue with the fact ofdeath, rather than defying it as most contemporary cultures are wont to do. Today, Mexico evenboasts a Museum of Death (in Aguascalientes), filled with pre-Columbian sculpture and pottery,reproductions of ancient Indian codices depicting human sacrifices, colonial-era artworks, skele-tons, artisan’s toys and works by the countless Modern artists who have treated the theme. It is,of course, in Mexico’s arts that the blend of respect and irreverence for death and the afterlife ismade most clear. Here, Mercurio López Casillas, expert on nineteenth-century Mexican graphic artand the author of studies of José Guadalupe Posada and Manuel Manilla, surveys the subjectfrom pre-Hispanic times to the comic pages of contemporary Mexican newspapers. López Casillasexamines the long tradition of representing death and skeleton figures that leads up to Posada,and traces the influence of this great popular engraver in the work of many other twentieth-cen-tury artists, including those of the Taller de Gráfica Popular workshop, like Leopoldo Méndez.Readers of this richly illustrated book will also be fascinated by early colonial examples of calav-eras, or skeleton caricatures. Images of Death is a colorful and lively deterrent against our habitualinclination to take the Grim Reaper too seriously. For enthusiasts of Mexican folk art, undergroundcomics, tattoo art, the occult and more.

The Stamp of FantasyThe Visual Inventiveness of Photographic PostcardsEdited by Ute Eskildsen, Clement Chéroux. Text by Urs Stahel, Clément Chéroux, Ute Eskildsen, Marta Gili.Essential for ephemera aficionados, fans of Surrealism and proto-Surrealism and for anyone prone to spendingmore time in a museum’s shop than in its galleries, The Stamp of Fantasy vindicates the postcard as a mediumwith a history as rich as the mediums it helped to foster, such as photomontage and mail art. In presenting the most fantastical postcard images from the early twentieth century, this book may be the opposite andcomplement to Martin Parr’s famous Boring Postcards series, stuffed as it is with disembodied heads, hybridhumans, erotic imagery and drawn modification. If the great French filmmaker Georges Méliès had produced postcards (instead of films on a postcard scale), they might resemble these miniature works bydiverse hands, selected from the esteemed collections of Peter Weiss and Gérard Lévy for the touring exhibitionof the same name. The book tracks the overlap between so-called “fantasy” postcards and the avant-garde artof the 1920s and 1930s, principally Dadaism and Surrealism. Paul Eluard, André Breton and Salvador Dalí wereenthusiastic collectors of fantasy postcards and Hannah Höch, Herbert Bayer, Man Ray and many others usedthem as material in their work. Marcel Duchamp’s famed 1919 détournement of a “Mona Lisa” postcard,“L.H.O.O.Q,” may be one of this book’s guiding precedents, at least for drawing attention to the postcard perse—but plenty of anonymous artists contribute equally irreverent and inventive tweakings, as well as more hallucinatory amendments. The Stamp of Fantasy is a wonderful celebration of the small gesture, amateurinventiveness, folk Surrealism and art’s most democratic form of reproduction.

This illuminating volume presents both the major paintings thatreflect the artist’s famous preoccupation with film and materials related tothe key film projects on which he worked.Throughout his long career, cinema contributed to Dalí’s understanding ofboth the power and the uses of illusion. In 1929 and 1930 he collaboratedwith the influential Spanish Surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel on the startling and highly controversial films Un Chien andalou and l’Age d’or.Many years later, Dalí worked with the Disney studios in Hollywood andwith Alfred Hitchcock, devising a dream sequence for the psychologicalthriller Spellbound that remains one of the most innovative in cinema.Over the intervening years, Dalí came to reject what he saw as the elitismof Modernist film, and embraced instead the popularity of mainstream cinema, recognizing its potential to bring his work to a vast audience.Extensively illustrated with reproductions of paintings, film stills, story-boards and photographs of the artist with figures ranging from studiobosses to the Marx Brothers, Dalí & Film reveals the depth and persistenceof Dalí’s fascination with the medium, bringing a new dimension to ourunderstanding of one of the great masters of twentieth-century art.

Dada: Zurich, Berlin, Hannover, Cologne, NewYork, ParisEdited by Leah Dickerman. Preface by Earl A. Powell. Text by LeahDickerman, Dorothea Dietrich, Brigid Doherty, Sabine T. Kriebel,Janine Mileaf, Michael R. Taylor, Matthew S. Witkovsky.Now available in paperback, this lavishly illustrated and astonishingly comprehensive volume stands as the definitive study of the influential butdeliberately elusive international Dada movement of the early twentiethcentury. Organized according to the primary city centers where this shifting,quintessentially avant garde movement emerged, Dada: Zurich, Berlin,Hannover, Cologne, New York, Paris features the work of 40 key artists, bothinfamous and lesser-known, including Louis Aragon, Hans Arp, Hugo Ball,André Breton, Otto Dix, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Höch, Man Ray, TristanTzara and Kurt Schwitters, to name just a few, in media spanning painting,sculpture, photography, collage, photomontage, prints and graphic work.Dynamically designed with an uncommon intelligence suited to the complexity of the movement itself, it contains hundreds of reproductions of works which, until the major traveling exhibition of 2005 and 2006 for which this book was originally produced, had for the most part neverbeen seen in one place together. Documentary images, topical essays andan invaluable illustrated chronology of the movement make this volumeuniquely essential, along with witty chronicles of events in each city center,a selected bibliography and biographies of each artist, accompanied byDada-era photographs.

Russian Legends: Folk Tales and Fairy TalesText by David Jackson, Patty Wageman, Ellen Rutten,Marija Valjaeva, Sijbolt Noorda.“The Magic Carpet” by Russian-born Victor Vasnetsovdepicts a man placidly hovering on an oriental rug,flanked by three owls, above an eerie, moonlit landscape.Painted in 1880, it evidences the influence that Russianfairytales (in which magic carpets figure heavily) had onRussian painters and illustrators of the time. These storieswere not only, as is often thought, used in traditionalcrafts like lacquer work and embroidery. Nineteenth-cen-tury artists blended imagery from fairytales and legendswith references to what was happening politically, eco-nomically and socially in Russia and the rest of theworld—creating a unique picture of the Russian psyche.An engaging survey of an under-explored phenomenon,Russian Legends, Folktales and Fairytales includes morethan 80 works by artists like Vasnetsov, Nicholas Roerich,Ivan Bilibin, Vasili Kandinsky, Elena Polenova and MichailVroebel alongside summaries of the depicted fairytales.Some of the works included are book illustrations, otherslarge paintings on canvas. A great resource for under-standing how and why Russian artists utilized fairytaleimagery, this book also serves as an introduction to therepeating themes and humor in the stories.

An Alphabet by Peter Blake Text by Mel Gooding, Gavin Turk.Best known for designing the seminal Beatles album cover, Sgt. Pepper’s LonelyHearts Club Band, Sir Peter Blake, born in 1932, is widely considered the godfa-ther of British Pop art. Across his oeuvre, Blake has always drawn inspirationfrom popular culture, often collaging disparate elements or quoting from worksby other artists. Over the years he has continued to produce art for many musi-cians, including Ian Dury, Paul Weller and Oasis. And today, he is hugely influen-tial among contemporary fine artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.In 2007, Tate Liverpool presented a major retrospective exhibition of Blake’spaintings. At the same time, London’s Paul Stolper Gallery collaborated withthe renowned fine art printmakers, Coriander Studio, to publish a new portfolioof prints and the accompanying book, An Alphabet by Peter Blake.Since the 1950s Blake has maintained a deep interest in the letters of thealphabet. This exquisitely fashioned volume reproduces all 26 of the newprints—one for each letter of the alphabet. Each visual interpretation is a col-lage of images from vintage cards, magazines and books, and the finishedworks are at once nostalgic and whimsical, humorous and fascinating. Thisspectacular abecedarium celebrates the interest, from childhood onwards, thatwe all share in letters and words. With an interview by the renowned art writerMel Gooding and a specially designed cover by the artist, it is required readingfor all Peter Blake fans.

El Greco to VelázquezArt during the Reign of Philip IIIEdited by Ronni Baer, Sarah Schroth. Text by Laura Bass, Antonio Feros,Rosemarie Mulcahy.Philip III (1578–1621), so often dismissed in favor of Philip II and Philip IV,actually presided over an era of crucial artistic development in Spain. His reignwas a time of cultural and political vitality for the Spanish monarchy, as theking and his court, having successfully maintained a peaceful foreign policy in Europe (the “Pax Hispanica”), ushered in a style of grandeur where fabulousgala celebrations, building campaigns, picture collecting, recreation and travelwere the order of the day. Accordingly, the art of this period flourished,witnessing the birth of a naturalistic style that was variously reflected in a new attention to detail and spatiality in court portraiture, the thriving of stilllife, the humanizing of saints and the development of polychrome sculpture.Focusing on the careers of the mature El Greco and the young Velázquez,which bookend this exciting period of resurgent court culture, this volume also investigates the works of lesser-known but highly talented artists whoexerted a critical influence on the development of Spanish painting. Essays by several noted scholars provide indispensable perspectives on the historical,literary, cultural and religious context in which these artists lived. The productof 20 years of research and illustrated with a sumptuousness befitting its subject, El Greco to Velázquez is sure to become a standard reference for enthusiasts of Spanish art.

Women ImpressionistsBerthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie BracquemondEdited by Ingrid Pfeiffer, Max Hollein. Text by Jean-Paul Bouillon, Pamela Ivinski,Sylvie Patry, Ingrid Pfeiffer, Griselda Pollock.The female members of the nineteenth-century Impressionist movement are usual-ly painted out of official art history, although Edouard Manet, for one, testified tothe talents of his friends Berthe Morisot (whose “Harbor at Lorient” of 1869 he soadmired that she gave it to him) and Eva Gonzalès (the only pupil Manet ever took),and discussed matters of painting with them as readily as with male peers likeEdgar Degas. Even Degas himself, notoriously misogynistic, invited Mary Cassattto exhibit with him (she was the only American to do so); and Marie Bracquemondalso exhibited at the Impressionist exhibitions of 1879, 1880 and 1886, despite the discouragement of her husband. All of these women practiced and supportedImpressionism from its earliest days, when it was still a popular sport to deride it.Nonetheless, for Morisot, Gonzalès, Bracquemond and Cassatt, the chances of equiv-alent long-term recognition were predictably slim, and while their own individualoeuvres were too strong and too omnipresent in their own time to be entirely eradicated from the annals of art, they have rarely received due attention in thehands of subsequent commentators. This stunning 400-page compendium, pub-lished to accompany the important traveling exhibition which goes to San Franciscoin the summer of 2008, corrects this longstanding oversight, presenting these pioneering painters alongside each other for the first time, reproducing their oilpaintings, pastels, watercolors, drawings and etchings and offering a cogent rebuttalof familiar Impressionist narratives.

Frida Kahlo: National Homage 1907–2007Text by Salomon Grimberg, James Oles, Raquel Tibol. Introduction by Carlos Fuentes.During the summer of 2007, the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City hosted the most completeexhibition ever of the work of Frida Kahlo. Marking the centenary of Kahlo’s birth, the Palacioshowed 354 works, including 64 oil paintings, both beloved and virtually unknown, 45 drawings,11 watercolors, 5 etchings, plus scores of letters, photographs and other personal ephemera. It wasa labor of love, as well as a loving gesture, for Mexico’s greatest artistic ambassador. It was alsotimely; Kahlo is in the air again, as young contemporary artists revisit and recast psychoanalytic,Neosurrealistic figuration.In 1953, when Frida Kahlo had her first solo exhibition in Mexico—the only one held in her nativecountry during her lifetime—one critic wrote: “It is impossible to separate the life and work of thisextraordinary person. Her paintings are her biography.” Kahlo herself puts it better: “They thoughtI was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” This essentialcatalogue, based on the Palacio de Bellas Artes exhibition, presents brief essays by a wide range of Kahlo scholars, poets, anthropologists, architects, psychologists and experts in many other disciplines, both from Mexico and abroad—as well as a more extended appreciation of Kahlo bythe novelist Carlos Fuentes, along with Kahlo’s own paintings, drawings, prints and ephemera.

Romare Bearden: A Black OdysseyForeword by Bridget Moore. Text by Robert G. O’Meally.Romare Bearden (1911–1988) had a true Renaissance sensibility. He was a fine artistwho also successfully turned his hand to printmaking, writing, costume and setdesign, as well as composing jazz music. In addition, he helped to found the StudioMuseum in Harlem, New York’s Cinque Gallery and the Black Academy of Arts andLetters, and was once even offered an opportunity to play professional baseball for thePhiladelphia Athletics. But it is for his rich and textured collages that Bearden is bestknown today. In 1977, Bearden created a sequence of 20 collages based on episodesfrom Homer’s Odyssey. It may come as a surprise to even his most avid followers thatthis devoted chronicler of African American culture and the Harlem Renaissance wouldgravitate to such a canonical text. But in the essay accompanying Romare Bearden: ABlack Odyssey, scholar Robert G. O’Meally argues for their thematic consistency andsuggests that,in the figures of Odysseus, Penelope, Poseidon, Nausicca and others, Bearden foundthemes sympathetic to the African American experience. These motifs of wandering,mourning and the questing for home—considering Bearden’s scores of interiors andexteriors, country and city life and depictions of family love—emerge as the centralthemes of all his art. Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, the first in-depth considerationof these collages since they were originally exhibited 30 years ago, will prove a surpriseto Bearden fans and newcomers alike.

STEIDL & PARTNERS

The Ferus GalleryA Place to BeginEdited by Kristine McKenna. Text by Kristine McKenna, Morgan Neville.In 1950s California, and especially in Los Angeles, there existed few venues for contem-porary art. To a whole generation of California artists, this presented a freedom, sincethe absence of a context for their work meant that they could coin their own, and inuncommonly interesting ways. The careers of Ed Ruscha, Wallace Berman and EdKienholz all begin with this absence: Ruscha turned to books as a means of dissemi-nation, Berman pioneered mail art through his magazine Semina and in March 1957,Ed Kienholz, in collaboration with curator Walter Hopps, co-founded one of California’sgreatest historical galleries, Ferus. Within months of opening, Ferus, which is Latin for“Wild,” gained notoriety when the Hollywood vice squad raided Berman’s first—and,in his lifetime, last—solo exhibition, following a complaint about “lewd material.”Shows by Kienholz and Jay DeFeo followed, but 1962 was Ferus’ annus mirabilis, withsolo shows by Bruce Conner and Joseph Cornell, and the first solo shows of RoyLichtenstein and Andy Warhol on the West Coast. The following year, Ferus also hostedEd Ruscha’s first solo show. After Kienholz and Hopps parted ways—Hopps went on tomount the first American Duchamp retrospective at the Pasadena Art Musuem—thereins were handed to Irving Blum, who got Ferus out of the red and ran the galleryuntil its closure in 1966. A Place to Begin is an illustrated oral history of this exemplaryenterprise. With 62 new interviews with Ferus artists and more than 300 photographs(most previously unpublished) plus a DVD documentary, it retrieves a lost chapter of twentieth-century American art. Edited by Kristine McKenna, noted expert and co-editor of the critically acclaimed Semina Culture: Wallace Berman and His Circle.

Tony Oursler: 1997–2007Text by Lynne Cooke.New York-based artist Tony Oursler says of his drawings, “Each object I touch has atext. Like it or not, I hear it, I see it. Each touch throws me hopelessly out of my time,out of my mind. In this fractured psychological state, I’m amazed that this fragile scribbling on paper survived.” While his position as a forerunner in video art is wellestablished, Oursler’s two-dimensional works have always been an essential part of hiscreative process as well. He describes these works on paper as a series of perceptions,scenes, delusions and diagrams—a free association of ideas that inform his videowork. Oursler uses drawing, painting and collage as a diary—a means of remember-ing, associating or layering thoughts. The studies, sketches and paintings explore the supernatural, methods of mass communication, the history and developmentof media technology and their effect on the human psyche. This publication offers a chronology of Oursler’s two-dimensional work over the past 10 years, showcasing his early works on canvas, painting on sculpture, painting with collage and his videosthat are projected onto painted panels. It is published in conjunction with LehmannMaupin Gallery, New York.Tony Oursler was born in 1957 in upstate New York, and he received his BFA from theCalifornia Institute of the Arts. Oursler’s videos and installations have been widelyexhibited internationally, including in solo shows at The Museum of Modern Art,New York; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Los Angeles ContemporaryExhibitions. He was recently the subject of a traveling retrospective that appeared atthe Williams College Museum of Art; the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; theMuseum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Des Moines Art Center. He has participated in the 2007 Whitney Biennial and Documentas 9 and 10. He currently lives and works in New York.

Orlan: The NarrativeText by Lóránd Hegyi, Joerg Bader, Eugenio Viola, Marcela Iacub, Donald Kuspit, Peggy Phelan.Since 1990, French-born artist Orlan has done seven plastic surgery “performances” which have radically reconstructed her face. She last added futuristic-looking pads of skin to each temple—utiliz-ing the process which ordinarily constructs heightened cheekbones. In a 1998 digital photographyseries called Self Hybridization, she montaged pictures of herself with images of Pre-Columbian,American Indian, African and “mutant” figures. Notorious for the kind of stunts that make goodsound bites—on French television in 1993, she gave Madonna a reliquary containing a few grams offlesh that had been removed during surgery, to which Madonna replied, “It looks like caviar”—Orlanhas been the subject of a host of critical writings in the fields of Feminism, Body art and Performanceart. Orlan’s most definitive monograph to date, this volume contextualizes past works—whichinclude not only performance, but painting, sculpture, photography and poetry—with the plastic surgery pieces for which she is best known. It is published following the artist’s first museum retro-spective, which took place at the Museum of Modern Art in Sainte-Etienne, France, on the occasion of her sixtieth birthday, in 2007. Organized by Lóránd Hegyi, co-curator of the 2003 Venice Biennale,the retrospective brought Orlan’s entire oeuvre together for the first time; Hegyi also contributes an incisive essay to this monograph.

Obrist’sinterest in interviews was firsttriggered by two very long conversations that he readwhen he was a student. Onewas between Pierre Cabanneand Marcel Duchamp, and theother between David Sylvesterand Francis Bacon. “These bookssomehow brought me to art,”says Obrist. “They were like oxygen, and were the first timethat the idea of an interviewwith an artist as a mediumbecame of interest to me.They also sparked my interestin the idea of sustained conver-sations—of interviews recordedover a period of time, perhapsover the course of many years;the Bacon/Sylvester interviewstook place over three long sessions, for example.”

Balthus: Works, InterviewsEdited by Mieke Bal. Interview by Constanzo Costantini.Widely considered one of the greatest, and certainly one of the most myste-rious and erotically daring, painters of the twentieth century, Balthus, orBalthazar Klossowski, the French/Polish Count de Rola, died in his adoptedSwitzerland in 2001 at the age of 93. Descended from Polish aristocracy andraised among important European intellectuals like Rainer Maria Rilke,André Gide and Jean Cocteau, Balthus went on to consort and collaboratewith many of the most influential members of the Modern avant garde—including Breton, Picasso, Artaud, Giacometti, Camus, Masson and Lacan, toname a fraction. His disturbing and often erotically charged paintingsremain enduringly enigmatic.In this beautifully illustrated collection, Mieke Bal analyzes the way that thepaintings emanate both reality and un-reality, creating the unique sense ofeeriness at the heart of Balthus’ work—which always invites viewers in andrepels them at the same time. According to Bal, we are given access to aworld that is in no way explained. Thus, the works must labor againstassumptions of representation and appropriation, drawing us into a worldwe know not to exist. In Bal’s interpretation, this canny fictionality rendersthe typical allegations of erotic appropriation naïve and censorious. Ratherthan reduce Balthus’ work to the adolescent girls, Bal focuses on additionalissues such as color, space, genre and history.

Zao Wou-Ki: Works, Writings, InterviewsEdited by José Frèches. Interviews by Pierre Schneider and Michel Ragon.Zao Wou-Ki, born in 1921, conjoins western abstraction and Asian calligraph-ic traditions to produce paintings at once gestural and light-filled. Born inChina, he moved to Paris in the 1940s, where the early support of Miró andPicasso, among others, encouraged him to resolve the disparate artistic and cultural paradigms informing his thought. While Paul Klee is readilydetectable as a crucial resource, an early friendship with Henri Michauxwas also pivotal, encouraging Zao to extend his Chinese ink technique.Michaux’s view of his own work as a documentary graph of present-tenseconsciousness also must have struck Zao as sympathetic, since his paint-ings, in which wispy calligraphic tendrils float across foggy light, convey asimilar sense of the human nervous system transcribed. This book collects,for the first time, writings, interviews and a significant selection of Zao’soeuvre from his early works to the present.

Archive Fever: Uses of the Document in Contemporary PhotographyText by Okwui Enwezor.Was it Joseph Cornell’s dossiers on ballerinas and artists that first proposed the model of thearchive as a creative storehouse, a vehicle for the ordering of chaotic fragments? Over the past 30years, successive generations have taken wide-ranging approaches to archives, most of them (likeCornell) concentrating on photographic and filmic collections. Organized and written byrenowned scholar and ICP Adjunct Curator Okwui Enwezor, and taking its title from JacquesDerrida’s book of the same name, Archive Fever gathers leading contemporary artists who usearchival materials in the fabrication of their work. As Derrida notes, the Greek etymology of“archive” connotes both “commencement” and “commandment,” implying that authority is asmuch at stake as authenticity. For artists, of course, these imperatives provoke all kinds of excitingopportunities for eccentricity and falsification, and the works included herein take many forms,including physical archives arranged by bizarre cataloguing methods, imagined biographies of fic-titious persons, collections of found and anonymous photographs, film versions of photographicalbums and photomontages composed from historical photographs. These images offer a wide-ranging subject matter, but are linked by the artists’ shared meditation on photography and filmas the quintessential media of the archive. Artists include Tacita Dean, Stan Douglas, FelixGonzalez-Torres, Zoe Leonard, Ilán Lieberman, Walid Raad, Thomas Ruff, Anri Sala, Fazal Sheikh,Eyal Sivan, Lorna Simpson and Vivan Sundaram, among others.

Heavy LightRecent Photography and Video from JapanText by Noriko Fuku, Linda Nochlin, Christopher Phillips, Akiko Otake.Japanese contemporary artists have mined some distinctive territory in the past decade ortwo—from the Superflat movement, to the referencing of traditional art objects like scrollsor contemporary pop phenomena like manga. Within these conventions, certain themescontinually surface—nature in conflict with the manmade world, costuming and the searchfor personal identity, and the child as cultural icon. Heavy Light identifies these themes asthey are evidenced in recent Japanese photo-based art, and examines how they are reshap-ing Japanese tradition. This volume is published in conjunction with the major Spring 2008exhibition at New York’s International Center of Photography, which includes a diverse selec-tion of artists: Makoto Aida, Naoya Hatakeyama, Naoki Kajitani, Hiroh Kikai, MidoriKomatsubara, Yukio Nakagawa, Asako Narahashi, Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Tomoko Sawada, RisakuSuzuki, Miwa Yanagi, Kenji Yanobe and Masayuki Yoshinaga.

Michal Chelbin: Strangely FamiliarAcrobats, Athletes, and Other Traveling TroupesText by Leah Ollman.In her sympathetic pictures of contortionists, dwarves, ballroom dancers andwrestlers from small towns in Israel, Ukraine, Eastern Europe and England,Michal Chelbin offers a glimpse into worlds both strange and familiar. Her sub-jects—usually individuals on society’s margins—tend to be portrayed offstage,at home, on the street or in a park, and in a disarmingly direct engagementwith the viewer: “My aim is to record a scene where there is a mixture of directinformation and enigmas and in which there are visual contrasts betweenyoung and old, large and small, normal and abnormal,” she writes. This sense ofcandid confrontation between subject and camera is particularly disarmingwhen those subjects are prepubescent girls, whose bodies, as Chelbin puts it,“might be still that of a child, [but] their gazes sometimes imply differently.”Chelbin’s palette is intensely saturated with distinctive pinks, blues and greens,evoking a painterly atmosphere, even occasionally making explicit reference toart history. Though her influences are evident—most notably August Sanderand Diane Arbus—the compelling photographs gathered in this first mono-graph have a unique visual and emotional impact.Born in Israel in 1974, Michal Chelbin has lived in Brooklyn since 2006. Her workhas appeared in solo shows in Israel, Los Angeles and New York, and in groupshows internationally. Chelbin is represented by Fahey/Klein Gallery in LosAngeles and the Photographers’ Gallery in London.

My playground lies between the private and the public, between fiction and documentary. For me, the image is just the tip of the iceberg; it’s the gate to a story waiting to be told and which I try to depict in an appealing yet troubling way. —Michal Chelbin

Erwin Olaf“Vermeer Noir” might be an apt description of Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf’s disquietingimage repertoire. His subjects are posed indoors, immobile, somewhat in reverie and bathed innearby window light—but not tranquilly so. An atmosphere of sinister but clinical indifferenceattends both them and their environments, rendering them into beautiful but dislocated mannequins in catalogue-furnished interiors. All sense of belonging to a place is eliminated.Each richly colored and sleekly composed image offers a sly reinterpretation of NormanRockwell-like iconography and characters, manifesting a nostalgia that both burlesques andcelebrates America of the 1950s and 60s. Dramatic emotions are hinted at but left ambiguous;certainly nothing in the models’ surroundings suggests a cause. Here, across three themes ofHope, Grief and Rain, Olaf blends mid-century Modern and Noir in the lens of contemporaryfashion. Avocado greens, golden-hued oranges and subtle lilacs brighten and deaden simulta-neously, sending an irresolvable tension through his scenarios like an electric current. This tension, strung between the polar effects of zing and muteness, is the line Olaf treads in his pictures. As a whole, the work defines what critic Jonathan Turner usefully describes as“Olaf’s recent fascination with the visual representation of such emotions of loss, lonelinessand quiet despair. . . [He] plays games with the idea of cold reality versus cruel artifice, captur-ing that precise moment when innocence, hope, and joy are lost.” The book comes with a DVD of five of Olaf’s films.Erwin Olaf was born in Hilversum, Holland, in 1959. As a commerical photographer, he has created campaigns for Nicorette, Nokia, Diesel, Microsoft, Heineken and Audi. His artwork hasmost recently been exhibited in a solo show at the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands,and was published in a monograph titled Joy. He currently lives in Amsterdam.

FriedlanderText by Peter Galassi. Afterword by Richard Benson.Writing about The Museum of Modern Art, New York's monumental andcritically acclaimed 2005 Lee Friedlander retrospective, Richard Lacayo ofTime magazine said: “If a sophisticated notion of what a picture can looklike, the continuous construction of new avenues of feeling, and sheer, sus-tained inventiveness are the measures we go by, then Friedlander is one ofthe most important American artists of any kind since World War II. . .Friedlander loves the muchness of the world. He loves the haphazard multi-tude of things that can pop up in every picture—street signs, sunbeams,bits of roofline, a jagged shadow—all colliding and contradicting oneanother. In his breezy but very acute introduction to the show’s catalogue,Peter Galassi, MoMA’s Chief Curator of photography, gets it just right whenhe says some of Friedlander’s pictures give you the impression that ‘thephysical world had been broken into fragments and reconstituted underpressure at three times its original density.’”Now available for the first time—the paperback edition of this definitive,comprehensive volume is being published to coincide with the travelingretrospective’s stop in San Francisco at SFMOMA. At 480 pages, Friedlanderincludes more than 750 photographs—770 duotone and 33 color—groupedby series, as well as the incisive, aforementioned essay by Peter Galassi andan afterword by Richard Benson.

Saul Leiter Preface by Agnès Sire. Interview by Sam Stourdzé.“I started out as a fashion photographer. One cannot say that I was success-ful but there was enough work to keep me busy. I collaborated withHarper's Bazaar and other magazines. I was constantly aware that thosewho hired me would have preferred to work with a star such as Avedon. Butit didn't matter. I had work and I made a living. At the same time, I took myown photographs. Strangely enough, I knew exactly what I wanted andwhat I liked.” Since the 1940s, Saul Leiter, an inveterate walker, has trawledthe streets of New York, capturing its colors and spirit. His liking for disarray,solitude and elusiveness make him a unique artist, quite unconcernedabout joining the throng. “I spent a great deal of my life being ignored. Iwas always very happy that way. Being ignored is a great privilege. That ishow I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situa-tions differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for any-thing.” This volume contains several previously unpublished color picturesalongside Leiter’s early work in black-and-white. Co-published withFondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris.Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh in 1923, the son of a rabbi. His work wasshown at The Art Institute of Chicago in 1947 and at The Museum ofModern Art, New York, in 1953. His work will be the subject of a major 2008exhibition at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris.

Malick Sidibé: ChemisesThat the beginnings of Malick Sidibé’s career as a photographer coincided with Mali’s independ-ence from France (in 1960) was serendipitous, and he was certainly the right man to portray thecountry’s post-colonial euphoria. Sidibé focused on the explosion of youth culture and music in1960s Bamako, photographing all the happening events and ceremonies, including football match-es, weddings, Christmas Eve celebrations and parties at clubs like Los Cubanos, Les Caïds, Les LasVegas—names that convey the influx of western music into Mali. Visiting as many as five of thesevenues in one evening, Sidibé would capture Bamako’s youth in a close-up snapshot style that con-veys the joyful conviviality of this era, and the blending of African and western cultures in danceslike the Mali Twist, and in curious combinations of traditional and European clothing. Sidibé wouldthen display his carefully numbered index prints, glued onto administrative folders, on his studiowalls for customers—usually the subjects of his photograph—to peruse. These are the “chemises”of this book’s title. As an invaluable document of 1960s Mali, and as a large portion of Sidibé’s oeu-vre, Chemises is an essential volume for anyone interested in contemporary African photography.Born in Mali in 1935, Malick Sidibé opened his own studio in Bamako in 1958. His photography isnow exhibited around the world, and he is considered one of Africa’s greatest portrait photographers.

Color ChartReinventing Color: 1950 to TodayText by Ann Temkin, Briony Fer, Melissa Ho, Nora Lawrence.Color Chart addresses the impact of standardized, mass-pro-duced color on the art of the past 60 years. Taking the commer-cial color chart as its central metaphor, this volume chronicles an important artistic shift that took place during the middle ofthe twentieth century: a frank acknowledgment of color as amatter-of-fact element rather than a vehicle of spiritual or emotional content. Collected here are more than 40 artists whoexplore in their works the double meaning of “ready-made color”:color bought off the shelf, rather than mixed on a palette, as well as color assigned by chance or arbitrary system rather thancomposed with traditional chromatic harmonies in mind.Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum ofModern Art, New York, this volume begins with Marcel Duchamp’sTu m’, the artist’s final painting, made in 1918, with its long arrayof color samples looming across the canvas. This early recogni-tion of color’s commercial nature was fully explored more thanthree decades later by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, AndyWarhol, Gerhard Richter and Alighiero Boetti, who in the 1950s to the 1970s, with a host of others, redefined the parameters ofcolor from a matter of personal expression to one of arbitrarysystems and random processes. The repercussions of this trans-formation continue to be felt into the twenty-first century, inwork by artists including Sherrie Levine, Mike Kelley and DamienHirst, as well as others who explore color in digital technology.This volume traces the lineage of the questions provoked bycolor’s new status, and the variety of answers that have resulted.

Design and the Elastic MindEdited by Paola Antonelli. Text by Paola Antonelli, Hugh Aldersey-Williams,Peter Hall, Ted Sargent.Over the past few decades, we have experienced dramatic changes in some of the most established dimensions of human life: time, space, matter andindividuality. Today our minds must be able to synthesize such transformations,whether they are working across several time zones, traveling between satellitemaps and nanoscale images, gleefully drowning in information or acting fastin order to preserve a bit of down-time. Organized by Paola Antonelli, Museumof Modern Art Curator of Architecture and Design, Design and the Elastic Mind focuses on the ability of designers to grasp momentous advances in technology, science and social mores, and to convert them into useful objectsand systems. Included projects range from nanodevices to vehicles, appliancesto interfaces and building facades, pragmatic solutions for everyday use toprovocative ideas meant to influence our future choices. Designed by award-winning book designer Irma Boom, this volume features essays exploring the promising relationship between design and science by Antonelli, designcritic and historian Hugh Aldersey-Williams, visualization design expert PeterHall and nanophysicist Ted Sargent.

Jean ProuvéIntroduction by Patrick Seguin. Text by Catherine Coley,Françoise-Claire Prodhon, Raymond Guidot, Catherine Prouvé.Today the oeuvre of French architect and designer Jean Prouvé isconsidered essential to the history of twentieth century design.Prouvé’s furniture designs were determined by the interior spacesthe pieces would inhabit, and they developed in tandem with the Modernist principles of the “art of living” and “harmonioushabitat” that were so characteristic of the time. This exquisitelyproduced and comprehensive volume, which was put together byParis’ Galerie Patrick Seguin and New York’s Sonnabend Gallery—where Prouvé was the subject of a critically-acclaimed 2003 solo exhibition—fills a hole in the existing scholarship, most ofwhich focuses on Prouvé’s architecture. It includes a collection ofinterviews with collectors and design professionals, a detailedbiography of Prouvé by his daughter, Catherine Prouvé, and essaysby design historian Raymond Guidot and architecture historianCatherine Coley.Jean Prouvé was born in Paris in 1901. He opened his workshop inNancy in 1923 and began producing furniture the following year.Immediately successful, Prouvé is best known for his innovativeapplications of new materials, with which he created extremelyinfluential buildings and furniture—including several gas stationsfor Shell and Mobile. Working well past retirement, he died inNancy in 1984.

Karl Lagerfeld: Three Examplesof 20th Century ModernArchitectureCasa Malaparte, The House in the Trees,Tadao Ando-Vitra HouseEdited by Gerhard Steidl, Eric Pfrunder.Karl Lagerfeld’s architectural photographs havealways tackled much more than structure andform, and in this exquisite, three-volume boxedset, he explores three quite diverse architecturalgems with his highly personal and insightfulvision: the poet and renowned egomaniac CurzioMalaparte’s Casa Malaparte villa, Perugini’s LaCasa Albero Nella Pineta di Fregene and TadaoAndo’s Vitra House. Malaparte’s villa is examinedin two parts, the first addressing its integrationwithin the landscape, and the second document-ing its interior and furniture. Lagerfeld’s use ofthe Polaroid-transfer technique captures theantique beauty and mystical charm of this ele-giac villa. Perugini’s Albero Nella Pineta diFregene is a somewhat neglected Modernistgem, hidden amongst a cluster of trees in a smallvillage near Rome, and constructed in wood, con-crete and glass; and Ando’s Vitra pavilion in Weilam Rhein is renowned as an architectural mas-terpiece that embodies his criteria of tranquility,harmony and dynamism. Lagerfeld’s sensitivephotographic documentation perceptively ren-ders both the geometric details and the uniquesense of place which each building imparts.

In this volume, a series of multipleexposures and luminograms, which were createdat landmarks like the Place de la Concorde, revealSteinert’s prescience and his embrace—as thefounder of the postwar Fotoform movement—ofthe tenets of Bauhaus photography. This impor-tant volume features numerous previouslyunpublished photographs taken by Steinert inParis between 1948 and 1956. Containing anessay by photographer and writer Florian Ebner,it reveals key developments in Steinert’s uniqueand influential language.

Karl Lagerfeld: KonkretAbstrakt GesehenThis volume collects new architectural photo-graphs by Karl Lagerfeld, who has now amasseda spectacular oeuvre in this field, including,among others, his superb images of recent andcelebrated buildings by Zaha Hadid (one of hisfavorite architects working today) and TadaoAndo. Central to Lagerfeld’s approach are thearchitectonic details of these buildings; the titleKonkret Abstrakt Gesehen (Concrete SeenAbstractly) conveys this guiding premise of hisvision. For he sees architecture as not only func-tional, but as a source of abstract pattern, forms,lines and textures, defined by light in space, andas an epitome of durability. As Lagerfeld has stat-ed, “We need houses as we need clothes, buteven more so and they have to last longer. That iswhy the cycles of architecture’s evolutions are somuch longer.” In photographing the buildings heloves, however, Lagerfeld’s ultimate aim is notprimarily to document the structures he surveys,but to re-conceive them for and in photographicform. Konkret Abstrakt Gesehen is the latest chap-ter in Lagerfeld’s ongoing photographic interpre-tation of architecture, previously documented insuch books as Schloflhotel, Modern ItalianArchitecture and Villa Jako, all published by Steidl.

Carlo Mollino: Casa del Sole“Everything is permissible as long as it is fantastic,” Carlo Mollino once said,accurately describing his attitude towards design and architecture. Known asone of the most versatile architects of the twentieth century, Mollino, an amaz-ing sportsman and inspiring creative force in many fields, designed a 23-apart-ment, Modernist ski chalet called Casa del Sole (House of the Sun) in Cevinia,Italy, in 1947. It is a perfect example of the lively complexity typical of his work.This beautifully produced, clothbound volume with a tipped-on cover imagedevelops as a sort of architectural novel, including drawings, photographs andwritings by Mollino about the design and building process.When it was built, Casa del Sole proposed to create modern yet economichousing that would help develop tourism in the Italian Alps after the SecondWorld War—an extremely difficult period in that country’s history. The architec-turally sophisticated building was furnished very minimally, and pushed theconceptual vanguard of the time with its pared-down lines and use of basicindustrial building materials. Later, the penthouse of the building was inhabit-ed by the famous Austrian skier Leo Gasperl, the fastest man in the sportbetween 1932 and 1947. Mollino, also a passionate skier, an instructor and theauthor of a 334-page manual on ski technique, dreamed of a functional, disci-plined building for the sportsman—a Modernist concrete structure utilizingthe traditional stone and wood constructions of northern Italy.Carlo Mollino (1905–1973) was an architect, designer, photographer and writer,not to mention a race-car driver and a pilot. His buildings include the RoyalTheatre in Turin, and his furniture, like his photography, is ever more valuable.In 2005, a Mollino table sold for $3.8 million, setting a world record for twenti-eth-century decorative art.

Wiener Werkstätte JewelryText by Janis Staggs.The Wiener Werkstätte, or Vienna Workshops, was established in 1903 byJosef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, artists who subscribed to the EnglishArts and Crafts ideal of exceptionally well-made objects designed by artistsand executed by specialized craftsmen. Following the example of near con-temporaries René Lalique and Louis Comfort Tiffany, Hoffmann and Mosershared the belief that jewelry should be valued for its artistic merit and notsimply for its monetary value. This opulent publication, written by Neue Galeriecurator and expert in the period, Janis Staggs, highlights masterpieces createdby the Wiener Werkstätte between the firm’s inception in 1903 and the early1920s. It features significant pieces by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, CarlOtto Czeschka and Dagobert Peche, among others. Supplemental materialsinclude relevant periodicals, design drawings and photographs of prominentclients, with an emphasis on fashion designer Emilie Floge, confidante ofGustav Klimt, who assembled a large collection of Wiener Werkstätte jewelry.

Giuliana Michelotti: InformText by Stefano Tonchi, Cristina Morozzi, Giuliana Michelotti.For 20 years, Giuliana Michelotti has designed fashion, objects and jewelry of uncommonorganic sensuality in collaboration with such leading firms as Valentino, Versace, Dolce &Gabbana and Christian Lacroix. Always a passionate and inquisitive traveler, Michelotti hasbeen as influenced by the tribal and ethnic traditions of Asia and Africa as the contempo-rary trends of her native Italy or current home, New York City. In 1995 Michelotti launchedher own line of jewelry inspired by nature and the sea. All of the pieces in the GM collectionare cast in silver using an ancient Indian “lost wax” technique. The stones are uncut andnatural, worn by rain and sand. Shells and madrepores eroded by waves, corals ramified ininfinite ways, sticks and small rocks—in Michelotti’s hands, these humble organic materialsare transformed into necklaces, bracelets and earrings of such highly refined shape andphysical lightness that one cannot mistake them for anyone else’s work. With an essay byThe New York Times’ revered style editor, Stefano Tonchi, this volume features exquisiteclose-up photographs of Michelotti’s jewelry, and details the life and creative path of anartist who has achieved an extraordinarily sophisticated aesthetic synthesis.

Imperishable BeautyArt Nouveau JewleryText by Yvonne Markowitz, Elyse Z. Karlin.“A new, imperishable beauty,” was how the artist and architect Henry van de Velde described it. EuropeanArt Nouveau jewelry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries embraced a new aesthetic charac-terized by sensuous forms, dramatic imagery and vivid symbolism. Many of the designers associated withthe movement sought their inspiration not in traditional jewelry, but in the work of the pre-Raphaelites andImpressionists and in the arts of Japan. Rejecting the rigid naturalism typical of European decorative arts,designers such as René Lalique and Henry van de Velde, and the artists of the German Jugenstil andAustrian Wiener Sezession movements, created ornaments that expressed the spirit and freedom of the era.These artists and designers adopted a free-flowing line and asymmetrical format that invigorated theirwork and set it apart, while their use of natural motifs and of the female form imbued their creations withenergy, sensuality and dreamy mysticism. But underlying the undeniable exuberance of these works was afin-de-sicle edginess that endows this period with inexhaustible fascination. With nearly 120 ornamentsfrom a single private collection—the finest of its type in America—Imperishable Beauty features all of themajor designers and jewelers from this groundbreaking era. Paintings, prints, posters and textiles fill outthe presentation, making this book as rich and intoxicating as the aesthetic it portrays.

Gaudí UnseenCompleting the Sagrada FamíliaText by Mark Burry, Jordi Bonet i Armengol, Jos Tomlow, Joan Bassegoda i Nonell, et al.Around two million people annually visit Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí’s unfinishedgesamkunstwerk, La Sagrada Família—a massive church in Barcelona, which was begun in 1883.Since many of Gaudí’s plans for the structure were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, teamsof architects have been continually tinkering with the elusive structure since his death in 1926.Because Gaudí seemingly didn’t use regular or repeating forms—relying instead on color, lightand organic sculptural motifs—architects working on the completion of La Sagrada Família havefaced a host of daunting design problems. In the 1980s, New Zealand architect Mark Burry beganusing computer-aided design to piece together the missing parts—but traditional architecturalsoftware doesn’t translate Gaudí’s off-beat forms, so Burry applied aeronautical design softwareto the problem. Though slated for completion by 2007, the building is still very much under con-struction—the completion date having been pushed back many times. As the structure is dedicat-ed to the holy family, Gaudí would often joke, “The patron of this project is not in a hurry.” Gaudí:Unseen offers a behind-the-scenes look at this hundred-year-long architectural drama.Antoni Gaudí was born in the Catalonian province of Reus in 1852. He was greatly influenced bythe Gothic revival of the period and the emergent style of Art Nouveau, through which he forgedhis own unique language, and which garnered him many prestigious commissions. Gaudí died in1926, after being hit by a streetcar in Barcelona.

Koto Bolofo: Venus WilliamsEdited by Patrick Remy. Text by Koto Bolofo.With a power serve of 129 miles per hour and countless titles to her name (including num-ber one in the world), Venus Williams is an amazing force in the world of tennis. She stands6’1” and possesses great reach, or “wingspan,” and a rare mental tenacity that has putmany, many trophies on her mantelpiece. It was thanks to Williams’ tireless campaigningthat the bizarre sexist tradition of awarding a smaller prize money to female tennis playerswas corrected, at least at Wimbledon and the French Open. (Amusingly, Williams herselfbecame the first beneficiary of this amendment when she won Wimbledon in June, 2007.)Williams’ ascent to fame has been meteoric from the first. At her Grand Slam debut at the1997 French Open, she reached the final, and although she did not win that match, herworld ranking shot up from 66 to 25 in one day. By 1999, she was number three, and by2000 she had won a gold medal for the U.S. at the Olympics—the first of two, thus far. Thissense of un-stoppability has always characterized Venus Williams, and makes her grippingto watch. Now the British fashion photographer Koto Bolofo has caught some of her magicon camera, in ways that have never been seen before. Granted unrivalled access to the ath-lete, during both her public tournaments and many private moments, Bolofo offers here amonumental portrait of one of today’s greatest athletes.

Is That So Kid: David Bailey, AnjelicaHustonText by Martin Harrison.David Bailey was the model for the swinging playboy photog-rapher in Michelangelo Antonioni’s classic 1966 film, Blow-Up.Born in London in 1938, Bailey had, by 1960, become the firstcelebrity photographer—known especially for his revolutionarywork for Vogue, and for the fact that he socialized with actors,musicians and royalty. His many influential books include,Trouble and Strife (1980), Nudes (1984), If We Shadows (1991),The Lady Is a Tramp (1995) and Rock ‘n’ Roll Heroes (1997).Bailey’s Box of Pin-Ups (1964)—a box of posters of Londoncelebrities like Terence Stamp, The Beatles and the notoriousEast End gangsters, The Kray Twins—remains an extremelyinfluential publication for its then-odd close cropping of thesubjects’ heads, which has since become a common techniquein fashion photography, in order to give the illusion that themodel is larger than life. In 1973, Bailey did all his major fashionshoots for British Vogue with actress and, at that time, occa-sional model, Anjelica Huston. This irresistible volume chroni-cles the duo’s fiery photographic collaboration. The title, Is ThatSo Kid, is borrowed from Huston’s father, film director JohnHuston’s, trademark retort.

Tim WalkerI Love Pictures!Edited by Veit Görner, Caroline Käding. Text by Robin Muir, Caroline Käding.A model, dressed in what resembles a flapper’s spacesuit, crouches among disco mirror ballsthat send showers of light across an attic room; in another scene, dresses lit from withinhang like Chinese lanterns from a tree; in yet another, a motley crew of children play on abeach among the ruins of a giant cardboard swan. The English fashion photographer TimWalker, born in 1970 in Devon, has a fondness for such dream-logic scenarios. His modelsoften occupy fantastical and elaborate sets whose baroque props rhyme with their costumesin subtle and sometimes wistful ways; one senses immediately that a great deal of efforthas gone into the construction of these sets. Formerly assistant to photography legendRichard Avedon, and having made a name for himself in the pages of American, British,Italian and Japanese editions of Vogue, Walker is currently one of the world’s most influentialfashion photographers, alongside Steven Meisel, Jürgen Teller and Nick Knight. This volume is the first to present Walker’s complete works to date.

Fashion Magazine by Alec SothInterviews by Carlo Ducci, Marta Gili, Karl Lagerfeld, Pamela Golbin, Eric Olson,Alec Soth, Franca Sozzani.In this beautifully produced third issue of the international art/fashion collectible FashionMagazine, the acclaimed American photographer Alec Soth plays Editor-in-Chief, AdvertisingDirector and sole photographic contributor—to quietly mesmerizing results. Featuring exquisiteprinting, unexpected gatefolds, special inks, varnishes and paper changes, this magazine-as-artist’s-book-as-sociological-study-as-tongue-in-cheek-(yet-also-very-real)-advertising-vehicle con-tains some of the most riveting work being produced by a young photographer today. Sothexplains: “While Fashion Magazine has a single photographer-author, it’s still a magazine, not abook. So it doesn’t follow my usual mode of slow, solitary production. It’s collaboration. The ideasfor the collaboration were formulated very quickly. I was approached by the folks at the Parisoffice of Magnum to work on this issue late last year. I immediately said yes. I was a huge fan ofthe previous two editions (by Martin Parr and Bruce Gilden) and was looking for an excuse to playwith fashion. . . . I often say that when I am making a portrait, I’m not ‘capturing’ the other person.If the photograph documents anything, it is the space between the subject and myself.Something similar is at work with Fashion Magazine. I’m not really comfortable saying I know any-thing about Paris or its fashion world. And I suspect that most fashionable Parisians know just aslittle about Minnesota. What is interesting is the space between us. My favorite example of thisinvolves Chanel. In Paris, I photographed Karl Lagerfeld at the Grand Palais. In Minnesota, I pho-tographed a girl with a Chanel shopping bag in front of Sally’s Beauty Shop. With this magazine,I’m trying to explore the distance between those two places.”

F.C. Gundlach: Photographic WorkText by Klaus Honnef, Sebastian Lux, Ulrich Rüter,Hans-Michael Koetzle.The photography of F. C. Gundlach defines the look ofpostwar fashion in Germany. Using strong contrasteffects, he was able to create a style that unified model,clothing and backdrop into a single composite, merging,for example, in one famous series, the bold stripes of anOp Art jacket with the pyramids at Giza beyond, or clus-tering a model in boa feathers within a phalanx of policeofficers. During the four decades following the end of theSecond World War, Gundlach worked for high-circulationmagazines in Germany such as Film und Frau, Constanze,Annabelle, Stern and Quick. In 1963 he signed an exclusivecontract with the magazine Brigitte, and from this pointon he began to embody the image of 60s couture pho-tography in Germany, with his frequent borrowings fromOp and Pop art idioms. Born in 1926, Gundlach was alsothe founder of the photographic supplies company PPSand the PPS Galerie, one of the first photo galleries inGermany, and has done much influential work as a lec-turer and exhibition curator. This monograph, the first inEnglish to offer an extensive consideration of Gundlach’soeuvre, and co-designed by Gundlach himself, establisheshis significance as a trailblazer in the industry.

Karl Lagerfeld: Trait par TraitEdited by Anne-Florence Schmitt.The phrase “Trait par trait” translates literally as“feature by feature,” but the attendant connota-tion is of both mark-making and faithful rendi-tion. So it is with Karl Lagerfeld’s latest book,which showcases his celebrity portrait photogra-phy, made for the French magazine MadameFigaro. Focusing on actors, directors and musi-cians, Lagerfeld depicts a gamut of internationalstars. From Jeanne Moreau and CharlotteRampling to Cate Blanchett, Benicio del Toro andPamela Anderson, Lagerfeld traverses the spec-trum of legends and newcomers that definestoday’s entertainment industry. These black-and-white photographs incorporate both classic andmore progressive portraiture styles, from arefined profile of Richard Berry to an exuberantValérie Lemercier, feet bare and arms out-stretched. Lagerfeld elicits the essential featuresof his subjects, and to this end he also encour-ages role-play, enacting each sitter’s sense of self:there is the beaming Jack Nicholson in trade-mark sunglasses, the cryptic David Lynch lightinga cigarette Jimmy Dean-style, the smolderingMonica Bellucci and the mischievous AshtonKutcher. Lagerfeld also contrives pastichevignettes: Lindsay Lohan, for example, appears asan alluring young Elizabeth Taylor, and FannyArdant as Maria Callas.

Karl Lagerfeld & AmandaHarlech: Visions and a DecisionKarl Lagerfeld has run Chanel for the last 24years, with Lady Amanda Harlech at his side forhalf of that time in the role of personal and pro-fessional muse. Visions and a Decision, their sec-ond collaborative book, combines Lagerfeld’sblack-and-white photographs of Claudia Schiffer,Brad Kroenig and Sebastien Jondeau from a 1993Dom Pérignon Oenothèque advertising cam-paign with a story by Harlech. Her tale charts thesensual fantasies of a young bachelor, Ghyslain,and Malvina, his bride-to-be; he is charming andruthless, she is beautiful and demure. “This is astory of a young, handsome, old-money couple,”explains Lagerfeld. “Everything is perfect, they’rejust a little bored.” With Dom Pérignon as thecatalyst, Ghyslain fantasizes about transforminghis prim fiancée into a cast of seductive charac-ters. Harlech’s darkly humorous sensibility, whichinforms the Chanel aesthetic, is pitch perfect inthis story of decadent ennui and passive seduc-tion. Modeled on a traditional fairy-tale bookwith a title plaque embossed in silver, a blackcloth bookmark and silver printing throughout,Visions and a Decision is perhaps not without aplayful moral. Suppressing our desires is a dan-gerous thing; liberating them could be the begin-ning of a delectable existence.

Karl Lagerfeld: You Can LeaveYour Hat OnThis book presents a selection of Karl Lagerfeld’sphotographs of the model Jake Davies in differ-ent locations, settings and moods but all withone wry thing in common: Davies is wearing ahat. Lagerfeld’s project is the evocation of variouspersonae acted out by Davies, not simply thephotographic profile of a youth in changing guis-es. Indeed the book’s title page states that it“stars” Davies, casting him as the lead in anambiguous drama. Compact in format, You CanLeave Your Hat On contains sepia photographssymmetrically framed by large white margins asif pasted into an album, like photographic ideasor filmic fragments. In one scene Davies appearsgangster-like in a high-collared shirt, tie and pin-striped coat, seated pensively at an outdoor café.In another he stands poolside at night in a tuxe-do, as if having just stepped out of a glitteringparty whose guests cannot be seen. Otherimages incorporate portraiture and fashion pho-tography: for example Davies nude, gazing out awindow or seated in jeans and a casual shirt in astudio. Throughout these scenarios, Lagerfeldemploys Davies’ hat not only as a playful detail,but also as a dramatic beacon, linking theepisodes into a larger story whose plot we our-selves must imagine.

Despite his frequent stints in rehab and a jail sentencefor burglarizing a bandmate’s apartment, Babyshambles has put out two records, Down InAlbion (2005) and Shotter’s Nation (2007). Though fringe elements of Doherty’s incendiarystory have been well documented by unauthorized paparazzi, the authorized, inside viewhas never been available until now. In I Won’t Give Up, Italian photographer and documen-tary filmmaker Fabio Paleari, known for capturing one of the last interviews with AllenGinsburg before his death in 1997, follows Doherty onstage, backstage, while partying from2004–2006 and throughout the vicissitudes of his relationship with Moss. Over the courseof his 30-year career, Paleari has created his own fair share of gossip with photographs ofall kinds of illicit activity and glamorized sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Here, above all, he cap-tures the “off” moments, when Doherty is at his roughest and least inhibited. This uniquephoto portrait closes just months after the famous video of Kate Moss’ cocaine relapseaired to the public in 2007. Also available in a limited edition, which comes boxed with aphotograph on baritate paper signed by Fabio Paleari.

Phil FrostText by Pusshead, Carlo McCormick.Part of a whole gang of street artists—from Barry McGee to Swoon—who have brokeninto the art world in the last decade or so, Phil Frost’s signature style is a funky tribal-ism—Hawaii by way of New York City—infused with a quirky sense of art history anddesign. In the 1990s, Frost honed his skills by painting walls, found objects and streetdetritus with his intricate, compulsive and highly evolved form of tagging. Frost’sgallery exhibitions are crowded affairs, filled with wildly patterned totemic objects andbaseball bats while the walls are stacked with colorful mixed media paintings. Hecrafts his painstaking paintings by collaging layers of found imagery on grounds ofsymmetrical black-and-white patterning, which he paints with correction fluid, andthat often morph into language-like glyphs or symbols. Frost states, “I believe [mywork] is indigenous to myself. I believe that within every person there is an indigenousexpression of themselves.” Including an essay by New York journalist Carlo McCormickand notorious lowbrow artist Pusshead, this is Frost’s first monograph, and an invalu-able introduction to the evolution of his style.Represented by Jack Shainman Gallery in New York, self-taught artist Phil Frost has beenincluded in scores of solo and group exhibitions since the mid-1990s, including Bottle:Contemporary Art and the Vernacular Tradition at The Aldrich Museum and BeautifulLosers, which toured throughout the United States. He has been written about extensive-ly in contemporary art publications like Artforum and Artnews while maintaining his fol-lowing with youth culture, music and skateboarding magazines.

Joe Coleman: Internal DiggingText by Joe Coleman, David Woodward, Markus Müller, Susanne Pfeffer.Joe Coleman, who spends months and even years working on a single painting, has described hisprocess as an “internal dig.” His complex, obsessive excavations, which dive into the often violenthistories and biographies of subjects like Osama Bin Laden or Joan Collins, certainly create an idio-syncratic and dense experience for the viewer. Details are carefully rendered with tiny brushes onwood panels; they are so intricate that the viewer can easily get lost scrutinizing every inch of apainting and following meandering paths of narrative and abstraction. This volume containsinterviews with the artist, essays and rich color images of Coleman’s paintings and installations.Internal Digging is the first complete overview of his work as a painter, draftsman, performanceartist and collector.Joe Coleman was born in 1955 in Norwalk, Connecticut, and lives and works in New York. His workhas been exhibited at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris,among other national and international venues.

Takashi Nemoto:Monster Men BureikoLullabyAt long last, this undergroundJapanese classic has been translatedinto English. A seminal work ofmanga from the mid-1980s, MonsterMen Bureiko Lullaby is aCandideesque tale—if you can pic-ture Candide as a mutated spermbrought to life by radioactivity.Unremittingly explicit, this is thecomics equivalent of Henry Miller athis best: direct, honest and insight-ful while simultaneously beautifuland grotesque. Tokyo-based TakashiNemoto, who was born in 1958, hasbeen called the R. Crumb of Japan:Nemoto and Crumb share a similar,surreal drawing style and pes-simistic, satirical stance, for whichboth have faced their share of nega-tive criticism. Due to his unapolo-getically squalid subject matter,Nemoto has long been a controver-sial figure in Japan—clashing vio-lently with mainstream Japanesemorals—and is just now receivingsome critical success there.Reviewers are finally looking pasthis gross-out humor to find far-flung influences and connectionslike Mark Twain, Otto Dix and AndreMasson.

The Historians: Toys, Book 6By Peter GreenawayEdited by Daniele Riviere.Filmmaker and author Peter Greenaway’s preoccupation with the deficiencies of taxonomy yields fur-ther fruit in this second installment of his 100-book project, The Historians, “an encyclopedic compendi-um of everything in the world gathered together in one place.” In this volume, Toys, a team of histori-ans investigates the genres, media and function of childrens’ playthings, with the aim of making aninventory of their variety and applications; toys, they believe, are a key to determining what sort ofadults children become. But in the course of constructing this ambitious inventory of 10,000 items, thehistorians’ mutual competitiveness clouds their judgment to the point of self-defeat and calumny,resulting ultimately in both a gruesome self-reflexive punishment for them and a toy encyclopedia ofno use to anybody. This volume affiliates Greenaway with certain of his literary predecessors, such asJorge Luis Borges and Georges Perec, who likewise parodied the strict conventions of encyclopedias,libraries and inventories. Other proposed titles in this series are stories of cripples, towers, diseases,games, maps, tics, red hats, adulteries, journeys to the sea, languages, names, gardens, acts of violence,pricks, griefs and ghosts.

InseparablePoems 1995–2005By Lewis WarshInseparable collects poems written between 1995 and 2005 by the New York poet, editor and nov-elist Lewis Warsh. Strongly identified with New York since the 1960s, when he co-founded AngelHair magazine with Anne Waldman, Warsh makes poems from the city’s linguistic fabric, inter-woven with a bemused real-time interiority. The 35 poems of this collection are pitted with remi-niscences made approachable to the reader by their lack of self-absorption; it is the momentumof the will to persist by means of language—“moving, word by word”—against the incipient flick-erings of mortality, that is their real logic. This act of self-propulsion may be subject to doubt(“Can we spend our lives feeding/off simple endurance?”), but it is humbly pursued: Warsh resiststhe inflated rhetoric such preoccupations usually attract and sticks instead with (in the words ofhis colleague Clark Coolidge) “confusion, in strict order.”

Last Nights Of ParisBy Philippe SoupaultTranslated by William Carlos Williams.Written in 1928 by one of the founders of the Surrealist movement, and translated the followingyear by William Carlos Williams (the two had been introduced in Paris by a mutual friend), LastNights of Paris is related to Surrealist novels such as Nadja and Paris Peasant, but also to theAmerican expatriate novels of its day such as Day of the Locust. The story concerns the narrator'sobsession with a woman who leads him into an underworld that promises to reveal the secrets ofthe city itself. . . and in Williams' wonderfully direct translation it reads like a lost Great AmericanNovel. A vivid portrait of the city that entranced both its native writers and the Americans whotraveled to it in the 20s, Last Nights of Paris is a rare collaboration between the literary circles atthe root of both French and American Modernism.

In Youth Is Pleasure & I Left My Grandfather’s HouseBy Denton WelchForeword by William Burroughs.First published in 1945, In Youth Is Pleasure is a beautiful and unassuming coming-of-age novelby the English writer and painter Denton Welch (1915–1948). Painfully sensitive and sad OrvillePym is 15 years old, and this novel recounts the summer holiday after his first miserable year atpublic school—but as in all of Welch’s work, what is most important are the details of his char-acters’ surroundings. Welch is a Proustian writer of uncanny powers of observation who, asWilliam S. Burroughs wrote, “makes the reader aware of the magic that is right under his eyes.”Also included in this edition is the first U.S. publication of “I Left My Grandfather's House.” Thisfirst-person account of an idyllic walking tour in the British countryside undertaken when Welchwas 18 makes a fascinating companion piece to the fictionalized, though no less autobiographi-cal, In Youth Is Pleasure.

Matthew Barney: Drawing Restraint Vol. 5Text by Matthew Barney, Neville Wakefield.Matthew Barney’s Drawing Restraint series imagines mythic interac-tions and subtle energy currents that meld legend and technologyin dark, non-allegorical fairytales. In the film Drawing Restraint 9,the tension is strung between creative discipline (restraint, orderli-ness, pattern) and protean creativity (oceanic chaos)—a theme that is symbolically enacted in the construction and transformationof a vast sculpture of liquid Vaseline called “The Field.” Over thecourse of the film, “The Field” is molded, poured, bisected and re-formed on the deck of a whaling ship. These shifts in the sculpture’sstate are then echoed in the tale of The Guests, two visitors to theship (played by Barney and Björk) who, locked in a lover’s embraceand breathing through blowhole orifices in the back of their necks,cut away each other’s feet and thighs with flensing knives to revealnascent whale tails. In conjunction with the Serpentine Gallery’s2007 exhibition, this catalogue for Drawing Restraint 9 and theDrawing Restraint series to date, features autonomous sketches,drawings, sculptures and photographs. It offers an assessmentof the project’s fusion of sculpture, architecture, music, computer-generated effects and prosthetics that draws from mythology,history, sports and biology to explore the interplay between polymorphous desire and applied order.

Zoe LeonardText by Urs Stahel, Benjamin Buchloh,Molly Nesbit.Photographer Zoe Leonard practices a type of cerebral roaming combined with carefullyconsidered observation. For more than 20 years she has crisscrossed nature and culture,cityscapes and museums, always searching for signs that say something about structures,about natural and cultural conditions and the contradictions, parallels and connectionsbetween them. Leonard’s photographs ofanatomical wax figures, fashion shows, trees and fences present figures in sparse black-and-white images that open up visual fields ofthought and reveal within them our visibleworld—the concrete and established structuresthat make up our reality. Leonard first created aninternational stir at the Documenta 9 exhibitionin Kassel, Germany, in 1992, when she placed black-and-white photographs of female genitaliain the context of a male-dominated museum.Since then, the political aspects of her work have formed a backdrop for her constantstruggle with shape, imagery and the union of symbols and content. This is the first book to showcase Leonard’s complete oeuvre.Zoe Leonard was born in Liberty, New York, in1961. She has had major solo exhibitions at thePhiladelphia Museum of Art and Tate Modern in London, among many other venues. Her workwas featured this year at Documenta 12, 2007.

Francis Alÿs: The Sign Painting Project 1993–97 A Revision A CatalogueThe Belgian-born conceptual painter and artistic interventionist Francis Alÿs developed The SignPainting Project over a period of four years. He began by painting fairly small canvases depictingpeople and objects in the flat, brightly-colored manner of billboard advertisements. The artist,who currently lives in Mexico, then asked local sign-painters Juan Garcia, Enrique Huerta andEmilio Rivera to copy and enlarge his paintings. The result of the artists’ combined labors is a setof 120 paintings that reveal variations on particular themes and that inevitably provoke questionsabout collaboration, authorship and originality. This book, which features 300 color plates, is a cat-alogue raisonné of that project.Francis Alÿs was born in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1959. Trained as an architect, Alÿs moved to Mexico in 1986 and within a few years began to work as a visual artist. Known initially for hispaintings, Alÿs has also become a highly regarded video artist, interventionist and performanceartist. His work received a great deal of attention in 2002, when he staged a ceremonial proces-sion commemorating The Museum of Modern Art’s move from midtown Manhattan to its tem-porary home in Long Island City, Queens. Alÿs has also exhibited work in group exhibitions at TheHayward Gallery, London, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center,New York.

Thecenterpiece of the book is Alÿs’ Rehearsal (Ensayo) series, but a number of relat-ed earlier works are included. “Ensayo 1, 1999–2000” shows a red VolkswagenBeetle attempting to ascend a steep hill in Tijuana: its attempts are synchro-nized with the sound track of Mexican danzon musicians rehearsing. “Ensayo 2,2005” follows the rehearsal of a dancer practicing a striptease, and “Ensayo 3”will be produced by Alÿs specifically for the exhibition. Other works include“When Faith Moves Mountains” and “Song for Lupita,” as well as many paint-ings, photographs and drawings. This significant new publication contains aDVD and an in-depth exploration of Alÿs’ oeuvre by Russell Ferguson, organizerof the exhibition, focusing on the theme of rehearsal, which is so characteristicof Alÿs’ work.

Pat O’Neill: Another Kind of RecordThe Merger, the Indictment, and the GirlPat O’Neill has been deeply involved in Los Angeles culture since the late 1960s. A founding fatherof the city’s avant-garde film scene, an influential professor at CalArts and an optical effects pio-neer, he is best known for experimental films like Let’s Make a Sandwich (1982), Water and Power(1989), Trouble in the Image (1996) and The Decay of Fiction (2002)—playful but technically rigor-ous works that fit comfortably alongside those of Stan Brakhage and David Lynch. Whatever themedium, O’Neill’s work often hinges on a “perceptual ambiguity” achieved through layers ofimage, sound and texture. This first artist’s book, Another Kind of Record, compiles dozens ofsuperb collage drawings, found texts and digital composite prints O’Neill has gathered andaltered over the last several years. Intersecting his own elaborate pencil drawings with graphicand textual fragments of bygone print media (educational illustrations, advertising, referencecharts, sheet music), this recent work occupies a fantastical terrain somewhere between the col-lages of Bruce Conner and the drawings of Raymond Pettibon. As a whole, the collection functionsas both an artist’s book and an abstract supplement to O’Neill’s remarkable oeuvre.

Robert Irwin: Primaries and SecondariesEdited by Sherri Schottlaender. Text by Hugh M. Davies and Robert Irwin.A pivotal influence in contemporary art, Robert Irwin’s work investigates perception and phenomenological experience through sculptural and installation works that engage directly with a location’s physical conditions.In the late 1960s, Robert Irwin’s early pieces helped to define the aestheticsof the West Coast Light and Space movement. In 1970, Irwin abandoned hisstudio-based art and stripped away all of his conceptions about art-making,until only those two criteria truly did remain: light and space. By the 1980s,he had evolved guidelines for how a site-based art could proceed, and, in a seminal 1986 statement, he laid out approaches for “site dominant,”“site adjusted,”“site specific” or “site conditioned” art—terms that are stillessential today. Robert Irwin: Primaries and Secondaries spans five decades of the artist’s work. Produced to accompany the largest exhibition of Irwin’swork since 1993, it includes five of his most recent installation works, four of which were created specifically for MCASD—and features a DVD docu-menting the exhibition installation, plus five essays from the artist’s distinguished theoretical output.

Julian Schnabel: Versions of ChuckText by Georg Baselitz, Bonnie Clearwater, Rudi Fuchs.A selection of new works by the celebrated New York artist (and filmmaker, and designer) JulianSchnabel, surrounded by unusually riveting texts by art world luminaries Bonnie Clearwater,Fudi Ruchs and Georg Baselitz. The paintings, prints and sculptural works gathered here are largeand expressionistic, expansive, searching and fearless. They are like the artist, according to thiscatalogue’s foreword, “heroic yet human; innovative yet timeless. . . absent of cynicism mas-querading as irony.” The central paintings are of a figure named Chuck, a surfer type who helpeddesign and build Schnabel’s studio complex in Montauk, Long Island. Angelic, perhaps homoerot-ic, slightly unfinished, they definitely stake out new terrain for this quintessential, and deserv-ing, New York art star.Julian Schnabel was born in 1951 in Brooklyn, New York. He came to prominence in the 1980s NewYork art scene as a leading figure of the Neoexpressionist movement, and has ever since been afigure of immense controversy and respect. Schnabel has directed three feature films, Basquiat,Before Night Falls and the 2007 Cannes Film Festival favorite, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Hisdesigns for Ian Schrager’s Gramercy Park Hotel received a great deal of attention in 2006, when itopened to critical acclaim. Schnabel lives and works in New York, Montauk and San Sebastian, Spain.

The Paintings of Ross BlecknerEdited and with text by Richard Milazzo.Covering 30 years of groundbreaking work, spanning from 1976 to 2006, The Paintings of RossBleckner is the first major monograph on this important American artist, as well as the first publi-cation devoted to his work since his 1995 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.Beginning with an analysis of Bleckner’s much-overlooked Constructivist and Postconstructivistpaintings of the 1970s, it continues with chapter-by-chapter studies of all the critically acclaimedseries, from the Stripe, Weather, Chandelier and Memorial (or AIDS) paintings of the early to mid-1980s to the Specific and Anonymous, Inheritance, Protein and Meditation paintings of the newmillennium. In addition to an intensive analysis of each of the artist’s completed works, the bookcontains 250 black-and-white illustrations, 134 color plates of Bleckner’s most seminal works, acomprehensive history of his exhibitions and a complete bibliography. In his monumental textstudy, author Richard Milazzo writes, “Bleckner’s work has always been interested in bringingabstract painting closer to the realities of the external world, while endeavoring to plumb thedepths of the subliminal realm of the psyche. Much lauded for the work he has done for ACRIA,the American Community Research Initiative on AIDS, and as an outspoken advocate of the fightagainst the disease since the late 1980s, his paintings are symbolic expressions of a largerhumanity, and, as such, also comprise formal as well as social values.”

Philip Taaffe: The Life of FormsWorks 1980–2008Text by Brooks Adams, Kay Heymer, Markus Brüderlin, Holger Broeker et al.New York-based painter Philip Taaffe became internationally known as part of the early-80sAppropriation art movement for his unique approach, which combined abstraction with ornamental art from a variety of cultures. Poet and critic John Yau has written, “In attempting to connect the microcosmic with the macrocosmic, Taaffe constructs a metaphysical vertical axis that connects earth to sky, as well as the ancient to the postmodern.” Taaffe has traveled extensively, building a lexicon of imagery from cultures with a history of ornate decorative art, among them Arabic, Asian, Celtic and Pre-Colombian. Within the confines of his canvases, imagery from these civilizations mingles freely together, and merges with influences from the Western canon, such as Art Nouveau, Op artand Abstract Expressionism. Taaffe also uses nonart sources like early botanical photography. This substantial new monograph provides an overview of Taaffe’s entire oeuvre, with all works beautifullyreproduced on full-page color plates. The volume also includes a visual essay by Taaffe and a series of photographs showing him at work in his studio.

Luc Tuymans: I Don’t Get ItText by Gerrit Vermeiren.In this stunning monograph, the internationally acclaimed Belgian painter Luc Tuymans opensup and reveals, in the form of Polaroids, film stills and other source documents, what has upuntil now been a largely hidden part of his artistic practice—thereby making it possible tochart both the subjects that fascinate him and his rather idiosyncratic working processes. Onthe one hand, Tuymans’ methods are influenced by photographic techniques. The artist would,however, immediately deny this, claiming that the more than 1,000 Polaroids he has used asthe basis for his paintings are not photographs—for the emulsion and the chemical formationof the image behave very differently in each. On the other hand, Tuymans’ paintings areimbued with cinematic techniques such as the close-up, slow motion, montage and animation.He draws inspiration from cinematic techniques to load the painted image with topicality andpertinence. This volume, whose reproductions were extensively edited by the artist himself,unravels the anatomy of Tuymans’ treatment of images. It is an essential addition to any contemporary art library. Tuymans is represented in New York by David Zwirner gallery.

Martin Kippenberger:Modell Utopia for EveryoneEdited by Peter Pakesch.Text by Daniel Birnbaum, MartinPrinzhorn, Elisbeth Hirschmann.Painter Christopher Wool has writ-ten, “Some of the best stand-up per-formance I ever saw was Martin[Kippenberger] telling jokes in theback of some bar or restaurant.”Which is not to dismiss the leg-endary German artist, who was atthe forefront of the much-storiedCologne art scene of the early1990s—Kippenberger, who died in1997, used humor like a laser, to illu-minate power structures andtaboos. One of the most importantartists of the twentieth century, henot only worked in a variety ofmedia—painting, sculpture, booksand multiples—but, taking a cuefrom Joseph Beuys, actively tried toconceive new possibilities on whichto model an art practice. This vol-ume, published for an exhibition atAustria’s acclaimed Kunsthaus Graz,includes incisive essays by curatorand critic Daniel Birnbaum and lin-guist and writer Martin Prinzhorn,which examine the softer, moreutopian side of the artist.

Per KirkebyJourneys in Painting andElsewhereEdited and text by Siegfried Gohr.Per Kirkeby may be Copenhagen’sbest-known artistic export; born in1938, he is still based in Denmark.Perhaps due to his doctorate ingeology, the metamorphosis ofnature has always been a key themefor Kirkeby. Early on, he was influ-enced by American Pop art andMinimalism, and in recent years, hehas become involved with the tradi-tion of Nordic Romanticism. It is thisblend of the rigor of Minimalismand the emotional charge ofRomanticism that gives his recent,abstract works their frisson.Featuring pieces from a private col-lection in Switzerland, this publica-tion is an in-depth exploration ofKirkeby’s works from the early 1980sto the present—with the exclusionof his work from the 70s, which wasa transitional period prior to thedevelopment of his distinctive lan-guage. His paintings appear along-side works on paper, including hisrarely-seen travel sketches.

Jörg Immendorff:Drawings 1960-2003German painter Jörg Immendorff,who died in 2007, used his drawingsas a way of thinking out ideas.These works—many of which areunknown—are extremely significantto his oeuvre. This volume contextu-alizes this under-examined facet ofImmendorff’s practice.Jörg Immendorff was born in 1945 inBleckede, Germany. As a young man,he studied stagecraft and stagedesign in Düsseldorf before movingon to study art under the tutelageof Joseph Beuys in 1964. The mid-60s were a time of great social crisisin Germany, and Immendorffresponded by creating his seminalfirst body of work, the politicallycharged “LIDL,” the sound of whichwas meant to evoke that of a baby’srattle, and thus to ridicule the ideaof the precious aesthetic object andelitist art traditions. In future works,Immendorff continued to subvertand skewer his country’s politics, artand the world in general.

Dieter Roth:Drawings/ZeichnungenEdited by Eva Presenhuber.Text by Veit Loers.Sculptor, poet, pioneer of artist’sbooks, performer, publisher andmusician—Dieter Roth (1930-1998)has long been beloved as an artist’sartist. Constantly trying to undo hisart education, he would set up sys-tems that discouraged the conven-tional and the consistent: he drewwith both hands at once, preservedthe discarded and reveled in thetransitory. Grease stains, mold for-mations, insect borings and rottingfoodstuffs were just some of thematerials used, both out of a fasci-nation with their painterly, texturalaspects and for their innate abilityto make time visible and play tochance. This oversized, faux-leather-bound book collects some 260never-before-published drawingsfrom the famous Copy Books group,heretofore hidden away in the lateartist’s archive. Organized in series,these works span from 1977 to 1998.

GerhardRichter was born in Dresden andescaped to West Germany in 1961.He has lived and worked in Cologne,where he was made an honorary cit-izen last year, since the early 1980s.

This is How IRemember NowPortraits: Photographs by Jim DineIntroduction by Gabriele Conrath-Scholl.Text by Susanne Lange, Jim Dine.Jim Dine may be best known for hisprints, paintings and sculpturalworks—and for being one of thefounders of Pop art—but he hasalso been making photographssince 1996. Most of the photographsare set up in the studio. Often fea-turing multiple exposures, Gothicimagery and automatic-writing-liketext, they tend to convey a tinge ofSurrealism. Dine has said about hispractice, “I don’t use Photoshop withall the things you can do. I photo-graph and then I preview. I previewall day until I get it right, but I get itright by changing the objects.” Forthis volume, which will be eye-open-ing even to Dine’s most familiarfans, the artist has selected a groupof self-portraits, portraits he hastaken of friends and relatives—bothalive and dead—and portraits ofPinocchio, the fictional character hehas been reimagining for the lastseveral years.

Drawingand printmaking have had a centralplace in Dine’s oeuvre since the 70s,when he began collaborating inearnest with master printersthroughout the U.S. and Europe. Thispocket-size, affordable publication isa collection of 47 prints, two illustrat-ed books and a recently publishedportfolio, all of which feature Dine’ssignature iconography: hearts, robes,self-portraits, flowers and birds. Ofparticular interest are the Pinocchioprints, as Dine has spent the last sev-eral years engaged in a visual transla-tion of the mythology and archetypalimagery in Carlo Collodi’s classic tale.As Dine states:“His poor burned feet,his misguided judgment, his vanityabout his large nose, his temporarydonkey ears all add up to the realsum of his parts. In the end, it is hisgreat heart that holds me. I have car-ried him on my back like a landscapesince I was six years old.”

John Chamberlain:The Foam SculpturesText by Klaus Kertess, MarianneStockebrand, Iris Winkelmeyer.Here is the flip-side of JohnChamberlain’s well-known crushedcar sculptures: his work in foam. Justas revelatory in their formal sophis-tication, these works, primarilymade from 1966 to 1970, with a fewmade in the late 1970s and early1980s, boggle the eye with theirsimplicity. To make them,Chamberlain looped rope around amass of plain or painted urethanefoam and tightened it to createdynamic tensions, which resulted inseductively rounded volumes. Thesesculptures are essential toChamberlain’s oeuvre, and this isthe first publication to addressthem.

Jason Rhoades: Black PussyCocktail Coffee Table BookForeword by Kevin West.Introduction by Alex Israel.Once described by critic Jerry Saltz as “orgies ofnarrative—Nevada’s celebrated Chicken Ranchbrothel crossed with Wal-Mart and KurtSchwitters’ Merzbau,” the libidinously sprawlinginstallations of Jason Rhoades (1965-2006) metcultural overproduction head-on, with a savagefervor comparable only to that of Rhoades’ one-time teacher at UCLA, Paul McCarthy. His workencompassed excess and contradiction: “To jug-gle the impossible was always an issue through-out my work—to take three objects, like a rubberball, a chain saw and a live African elephant, andtry to juggle,” he declared. Rhoades’ last project,Black Pussy Soiree Cabaret Macrame, was a seriesof private social events involving massive sculp-tural installations in which people walkedthrough a large Los Angeles warehouse filledwith Ikea-style shelves containing thousands of“dream catchers,” hookahs, camel saddles,chrome trolleys and cowboy hats. Neon signsspelled out various words for female genitalia,and guests were invited to contribute toRhoades’ ongoing cross-cultural compendium ofthese euphemisms. Evolving to fit each location,this installation, which publicly debuted atHauser & Wirth in London in 2005, traveled toNew York’s David Zwirner gallery in November of2007. Its catalogue was conceived by anddesigned with the artist prior to his untimelydeath, and includes a foreword by Kevin West,West Coast Editor of W magazine, and photo-graphs by Joshua White and Alexia Pilat.

Michael BorremansWeightText by Ann Demeester, Massimiliano Gioni,Philippe-Alain Michaud, Delfim Sardo.Belgium-based Michael Borremans createsabsurd and sometimes ominous paintings.“Horse Hunting” (2005), for example, depicts, ina muddy palette, a pale and moody-looking manin a suit jacket and crisp white shirt shovingtwo twigs up his nose. He stares straight at us,and the wall behind him is filled with his shad-ow. Borremans has said of his paintings, “I useclichés and other elements that are part of acollective consciousness. . . my work would beperfect on biscuit tins.” At the 2006 BerlinBiennale, Borremans showed a film on a smallLCD screen, which he had framed like a painting.The piece was based on a 2002 drawing of a girl,which he reproduced in three dimensions, sothat the girl slowly spins around. Whatever themedium, Borremans’ work bears this trademarksense of absurdity verging on menace. Weight ispublished concurrently with an exhibition at DeAppel in Amsterdam.

Francesco Vezzoli: Right YouAre (If You Think You Are)Foreword by RoseLee Goldberg. Conversationwith Nancy Spector and Francesco Vezzoli.Text by Michael Schulman, Herbert Muschamp.Francesco Vezzoli caused a flurry with his 2005video, “Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’sCaligula,” a salacious hit starring Benicio Del Toro,Helen Mirren and Karen Black, as well as his 2007Venice Biennale TV spots (starring Sharon Stoneand Bernard-Henri Lévy), which advertised amock U.S. presidential campaign and kept theartist’s name in the press long after the exhibi-tion premiered. Most recently, Vezzoli was invitedby Performa07, the second biennial of new per-formance art in New York, to transform therotunda of New York’s Guggenheim Museumwith his restaging of Luigi Pirandello’s 1917 play,Right You Are (If You Think You Are). In all of theseworks, Vezzoli has shown his skill at both joiningand revealing the cult of celebrity and has provento be one of today’s most interesting new artists.This succinct new volume contextualizes Vezzoliin a conversation with Nancy Spector, ChiefCurator at the Guggenheim Museum and U.S.Commissioner to the 2007 Venice Biennale.

Chris Ofili: Devil’s PieText by Klaus Kertess, Cameron Shaw.Few artists’ names can connote such diverseassociations as the Virgin Mary, Rudolph Giulianiand elephant dung. (Put thus, it seems rather anachievement.) Controversy tends to dog the artof Chris Ofili, and former New York MayorGiuliani’s suspension of funding for the BrooklynMuseum upon its exhibition of his 1996 painting“The Holy Virgin Mary” in 1999 was but oneinstance of the ire Ofili routinely arouses. Whenthese occasional media commotions subside, onesees that the work is actually pleasing in morefamiliar ways: Ofili’s surfaces sparkle withsmears of glitter and bright veneer, resemblingnothing so much as African icons. But Ofili hasalways been political, specifically in his con-frontations with racial cliché, and in his insistentincorporation of materials from popular blackculture. Devil’s Pie derives its title from singer-songwriter D’Angelo’s 1998 lyric meditation ontemptation and retribution. It collects Ofili’s workin sculpture, painting, printmaking and graphitedrawing for the first time and includes texts byart writer and curator Klaus Kertess and writerCameron Shaw.

Wangechi Mutu:A Shady PromiseEdited by Douglas Singleton. Text by IsoldeBrielmeier, Michael Veal, Malik Gaines,Alexandro Segade.“Females carry the marks, language and nuancesof their culture more than the male. Anythingthat is desired or despised is always placed on thefemale body,” states Kenyan-born, New York-basedartist Wangechi Mutu, the subject of this highlyanticipated first monograph. In recent yearsMutu’s work has become increasingly sought-after in the international art world, making high-profile appearances at the important art fairs andauctions. What makes her interesting, however, isher fierce and contemporary use of the well-wornmedium of collage. Mutu deals with female andcultural identity in large-scale figurative piecesconstructed from found and drawn imagery. Herfigures are freakish and erotic hybrids of theprimitive, contemporary and post-human. Thesesometimes garish, diseased, ravaged and distort-ed figures are made from seductive or silly mate-rials like glossy fashion magazine pictures, glitteror fun fur. They refer to colonial history, contem-porary African politics, the history of art and fash-ion—in often quite irreverent ways. Mutu’s owndiverse history—she has studied both anthropol-ogy and sculpture and has lived in Nairobi, Wales,New York and New Haven, where she received herMFA from Yale University in 2001—seems a likelysource for her manifold concerns. This volumesurveys Mutu’s work to date.

Collier Schorr: There I WasAt the age of four, Collier Schorr accompaniedher father, an automotive photographer andjournalist, to a local racetrack, where shewatched the charismatic and youthful drag racerCharlie “Astoria Chas” Snyder at work on hisdream race car, a 67 “Ko-Motion” Corvette. Anarticle followed, with the now-eerie headline,“While Astoria Chas is doing his thing in Vietnamhis friends are racing his L-88.” For by the timethe article was published, Charlie Snyder hadgone to Vietnam, and after only one month ofduty, died there on August 27, 1968, shortly afterhis twenty-first birthday. Astoria Chas never gotthe chance to drive his car as he had intended,and so his friends drag-raced it, setting the AHRArecord for its class.There I Was marks both a shift in medium and aconceptual departure for Collier Schorr. Beginningwith her father’s images of Snyder at work andSnyder’s own snapshots from Vietnam, Schorrthen draws on professional reportage pictures toliterally sketch out Snyder’s monumental journeyfrom Queens to Vietnam and back. These draw-ings are contrasted with reproductions of vintagecar magazine articles and Schorr’s own photo-graphs and portraits. Based entirely on photogra-phy, this volume engages with the medium andsimultaneously challenges the role of the photo-graph as document of the past. There I Was is amultifaceted look at escape, culture, dreams andmortality, conjuring an expressionistic portrait ofthe dichotomies of the late 1960s in a fracturedwartime America.

Mary Ellen Carroll: MECCauses, Place, Mistakes, Boredom, Lies,Resemblance, Pleasure, Nothing,Temporality, Affect, Inscription,Envy/Imitation, Utilitarianism,Disappearance, Literalness, ThingnessText by Jonathan Flatley, Hamza Walker.Despite an oeuvre spanning more than 20 yearsand a disavowal of any signature style, MaryEllen Carroll has throughout her career beeninvestigating a single, fundamental question:What is a work of art? The resulting multifarious,provocative and often wry outpouring in archi-tecture, writing, performance, photography, film-making, printmaking, sculpture and painting hasbeen collected into this book—the New York con-ceptual artist’s long-awaited first monograph.Carroll’s work interrogates the relationshipbetween subjectivity, language and power; at itscore is a dedication to political and social cri-tique. A Carroll piece may involve something asseemingly effortless as trademarking an idea byanother artist or as complex and bold as walkingout the door penniless with only her passportand the clothes on her back to spend six weeksin a foreign country. Carroll imbues all her workwith a strong performative element; even a newopus, involving the rotation of a Houston tracthome on its foundation, is conceived as a way ofmaking architecture perform.

Lawler’semphasis on context as a defining factor in theassignment of an object’s value throws her ownsumptuous photographs into a state of elo-quent suspension. In 1984, Lawler was grantedaccess to the homes of visionary collectorsBurton and Emily Tremaine, and she has sincetracked the works she photographed there asthey have wended their way through museumsand auction houses.

The Collections of BarbaraBloomText by Dave Hickey, Susan Tallman.This volume assesses a body of work that encom-passes installations, films, artist’s books andspecimens from the artist’s vast archives ofephemera. Like Marcel Broodthaers and SusanHiller, Bloom has a creative attraction towardtaxonomy and museology: the installation“Greed” (1988), for instance, is comprised of achair, an empty frame and a photograph of amuseum gallery with a seated guard. An exam-ple of one of her own collections is a completeset of Vladimir Nabokov’s writings for whichBloom redesigned all of the book covers, referringboth to herself and Nabokov as collectors (heobsessively collected editions of his own books)and in the process interposing herself as artist. Insome cases, Bloom revisits previous installationsto add new elements, resisting and upsetting theorderliness of a conventional artistic chronology.The Collections of Barbara Bloom includes essaysby Dave Hickey and Susan Tallman and expands aproject developed as part of Bloom’s Wexner ArtCenter Residency Award in 1998.Born in Los Angeles in 1951, Barbara Bloom is arenowned conceptual artist whose intricatelycrafted installations and witty artist’s books havebeen exhibited internationally. She has had one-person museum shows at Ohio’s Wexner Centerfor the Arts and The Museum of ContemporaryArt, Los Angeles, among many others. She lives inNew York City.

Sophie Calle: Take Care ofYourselfText by Sophie Calle.In this remarkable artist’s book, French conceptu-al artist/provocateur Sophie Calle presents 107outside interpretations of a “break up” e-mail shereceived from her lover the day he ended theiraffair. Featuring a stamped pink metallic cover,multiple paper changes, special bound-in book-lets, bright green envelopes containing DVDs andeven Braille endpapers, it is a deeply poignantinvestigation of love and loss, published to coin-cide with the 2007 Venice Biennale—where Calleserved as that fair’s French representative. All ofthe interpreters of Calle’s break up letter werewomen, and each was asked to analyze the docu-ment according to her profession—so that awriter comments on its style, a justice issuesjudgment, a lawyer defends Calle’s ex-lover, apsychoanalyst studies his psychology, a mediatortries to find a path towards reconciliation, aproofreader provides a literal edit of the text, etc.In addition, Calle asked a variety of performers,including Nathalie Dessay, Laurie Anderson andCarla Bruni, among others, to act the letter out.She filmed the singers and actresses and pho-tographed the other contributors, so that eachprinted interpretation stands alongside at leastone riveting image of its author, and some arealso accompanied by digital documentation.

Texts by ClaudiaSchmuckli, William Arning, Klaus Ottmann,Rina Carvajal, Terrie Sultan.Since 1968, Brussels-born, Paris-based ChantalAkerman has produced over 50 film and videoworks, in the genres of documentary and FrenchNew Wave-inspired fictional narrative. She is oneof the foremost auteur-directors working today,yet she has never had a solo museum exhibitionin the United States, nor has there been signifi-cant scholarly inquiry into her body of work. Herearly experiments with Structuralist, Marxist andFeminist filmmaking have expanded what is pos-sible in film today. Asserting Akerman’s contribu-tion to the genre, this volume introduces herwork to those who have not had a chance to seeit firsthand. With interpretive and anecdotalcommentary on Akerman’s oeuvre, the documen-tary films covered here have not been exploredelsewhere.

Sam Taylor-WoodForeword by Jill Snyder. Text by Margo A. Crutchfield, Barbara London, Linda Nochlin.A leading artist of her generation, Sam Taylor-Wood came to prominence in the mid-1990sas one of the YBAs (Young British Artists), alongside such artists as Damien Hirst and TraceyEmin, who were quickly propelled to celebrity status for their provocative and sensationalworks. Taylor-Wood has since become renowned for deftly manipulating the signaturemedia of our age—photography, film and video—into compelling psychological portraitsthat tap into the ethos of our times. Documenting the artist’s first major solo museumexhibition in the United States, this catalogue illustrates and discusses a selection of hermost significant works from the mid-1990s to the present. Key pieces include the film“Hysteria” (1997), which portrays a woman’s tumultuous descent from exhilaration to psychic disintegration; a selection from the 2002–2004 Crying Men photographs, whichdepict male film stars in moments of sorrow and introspection; “David” (2004), an hour-longvideo portrait of soccer icon David Beckham, sleeping; and the 2004 Self Portrait Suspendedseries. This volume provides an overview of the artist’s work of the last 10 years, with com-mentary on Taylor-Wood’s exploration of such themes as the inner psyche, vulnerability—both emotional and physical—suspended states of being and the aspiration to transcendhuman limits.

Beyond the Line: The Art of Diana CooperEdited by Jo Gibson. Foreword by Jill Snyder. Text by Margo A. Crutchfield.Interview by Barbara Pollack.On the occasion of Diana Cooper's first solo museum exhibition, at the Museum ofContemporary Art Cleveland, this volume features an unprecedented collection of the NewYork artist’s works on paper, “hybrid construction” wall reliefs and installations. Cooper is animmensely talented yet still relatively under-recognized artist who has consistently experi-mented with the practice of drawing—-on paper, canvas, the wall and into three-dimensionalspace. Since first embracing felt-tipped markers as a primary medium, Cooper has taken doodling and geometric abstraction to the extreme, unabashedly transforming line and form into exuberant, semi-abstract works. Her visually rich and densely layered creations represent imaginary systems or networks with open-ended references to communication and transportation systems, electrical or digital conduits, computer circuit boards—theunderlying infrastructures and interconnecting channels of contemporary life. The work isbold, colorful, wildly inventive and substantive in its commentary on the vulnerability of systems, human beings and the relationship of order and chaos in our inextricably networkedworld. This first major monograph includes full color plates and multiple details, accompa-nied by an interview between Cooper and Barbara Pollack.

Rhythms of Modern LifeBritish Prints, 1914-1939Text by Clifford S. Ackley, StephenCoppel, Thomas E. Rassieur,Samantha Rippner.It is little known that interbellumBritain hosted a generation ofModernist artists who absorbed thewealth of Continental avant-gardeidioms and adapted them to theirown unique ends. Some of this workwas done under the rubric ofVorticism, the Neofuturist movementspearheaded by Wyndham Lewis,while other artists were closely asso-ciated with London’s GrosvenorSchool of Art, breaking new groundin the practice of linocut. Rhythms ofModern Life examines the impact ofCubism and Futurism on Britishprintmaking in the years betweenthe First and Second World Wars,focusing in particular on the dynamicimagery of 13 artists, including C.R.W.Nevinson, Paul Nash, EdwardWadsworth and David Bomberg, allearly followers of Italian Futurismand British Vorticism, and on theworks of Grosvenor School artistsClaude Flight, Sybil Andrews, CyrilPower and Lill Tschudi.

Action PaintingJackson Pollock and Gesturein PaintingText by Pepe Karmel, Robert Fleck,Jason Kaufman, Gottfried Boehm,Ulf Küster.Jackson Pollock’s pioneering “drip”technique provided the model forwhat Harold Rosenberg would term“Action Painting”—using the canvasas an arena for the emphaticallyphysical, even balletic application ofpaint, and as a record of thatengagement.

Dream and TraumaWorks from the Dakis JoannouCollection, AthensEdited by Gerald Matt, Angela Stief,Edelbert Köb. Texts by Elisabeth Bronfen,Edelbert Köb, Gerald Matt, Hilary RubensteinHatch, Angela Stief.Sigmund Freud defined trauma as “an experiencewhich, within a short period of time, presents themind with an increase of stimulus too powerfulto be dealt with or worked off in the normal way.”The subject represses the traumatic experience,which then begins to enter into consciousnessthrough its only other avenue, the dream—or,quite often, the nightmare. In art, psychologicalpain often finds expression in surrealistic, dreamlike or seemingly absurd images. Thus, the “aes-thetics of trauma” makes visible those things that have been repressed, that are depraved or that expose painful wishes, desires or dreams.This provocative collection brings together artworks by some of the most psychologicallytapped-in (and, in some cases, unhinged) artistsin the contemporary field—all of whom are represented in the world-famous Dakis JoannouCollection of Athens, Greece. They include Cindy Sherman, Paul McCarthy, Pavel Althamer,Maurizio Cattelan, Paul Chan, Nigel Cooke, GregoryCrewdson, Marcel Dzama, Olafur Eliasson, UrsFischer, Anna Gaskell, Robert Gober, Matt Greene,Jeff Koons, William Kentridge, Paul McCarthy,Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Chris Ofili, Kiki Smith,Nari Ward, Ralf Ziervogel and many others.

Fractured FigureText by Jeffrey Deitch. Designed and Edited by Urs Fischer with Cassandra MacLeod.A culture’s body image, as refracted through its art, will usually provide a more telling accountof its preoccupations than the most explicitpolitical art; it seems that cultural symptomsleak more readily into depictions of the bodythan into more overt statements. This is especial-ly true in periods of heightened alienation, whenthe solitary figure gains poignancy, but bodiesregister their eras in many ways: the signifiers of opulence, imperialism, fashion, social decay,sexual convention and anxiety can all be readilyinscribed onto the human form in art—andindeed, always have been. Fractured Figure proj-ects our millennial moment as one of fragilebodies pitched against a restless, dysphasic back-drop, in which terrorism and global warmingimpinge as daily realities. It draws on the world-renowned contemporary collection of DakisJoannou, who, in collaboration with JeffreyDeitch, has previously organized shows such as Artificial Nature and Post Human, in whichsimilar concerns have arisen. Here, in works by Chris Ofili, David Altmejd, Richard Prince,Urs Fischer, Pawel Althamer, Ashley Bickerton,Barnaby Furnas and others, the figure is shownas un-idealized and compellingly mortal—situated in a realm that we will immediately recognize as our own.

The Cinema EffectIllusion, Reality, and theMoving ImageText by Kerry Brougher, KellyGordon, Anne Ellegood, KristenHileman, Tony OurslerThis volume offers an in-depthexploration of contemporary mov-ing-image art, examining the waysin which “the cinematic” has blurredcultural distinctions between realityand illusion. Cinema was the unri-valed art form of the twentieth cen-tury; in the art world, the use of filmand video and the appropriation ofcinematic language and devices forworks in a range of media havebeen growing since the early 1960s.In the realm of popular culture, theinfluence of this technology and itsvocabulary have grown to the pointwhere the boundaries between “reallife” and make-believe are at theleast blurred and at most indeci-pherable. Opening with an overviewof the cultural, social and psycholog-ical issues raised by The CinemaEffect, the book also looks at howand why moving-image work hasshifted from the margins to the cen-ter of art production, as well as howthe larger societal impact of thepervasiveness of cinema can beseen in the work of the featuredemerging artists.

Dylan,Marcus argues, was influentialbecause he explored an older, half-forgotten world of American legendthat seemed at once stranger andmore telling than anything found inthe mainstream. The artists fea-tured in this volume, all of whomcame to prominence in the lastdecade, include Jeremy Blake, SamDurant, Barnaby Furnas, BradKahlhamer, Margaret Kilgallen,Dario Robleto, Allison Smith andKara Walker, among others. As agroup, they draw on folklore for itsability to illuminate American cul-tural life in its strange mixture ofcivilization and barbarism, enlight-enment and madness.

New Delhi, New WaveEdited by Jerome Neutres. Text by Radhika Jha.The recent Bollywood craze in the West mightget more exposure, but contemporary Indianartists aren’t far behind. New Delhi, New Wave isthe best introduction to date to the work ofestablished and emerging Indian artists—manyof whom are dealing with the theme of womenin fresh ways. Pushpamala N., for example, makesCindy Sherman-esque portraits of herself asIndian female icons, from religious leaders toBollywood actresses, while Anita Dube combinesinstallation, photography, collage and video toexplore Hindu iconography and traditionthrough a Feminist lens. Subodh Gupta, one ofthe best-known Indian artists on the internation-al scene, uses quotidian objects to explore identi-ty. At last summer’s Venice Biennale, Guptacaused a sensation with “A Very Hungry God”(2006), a 2,000-pound skull crafted from shinysilver pots and pans, which he installed on afloating base in the Grand Canal. Shila Gupta,born in 1976, one of the youngest artists sur-veyed here, represents Delhi’s newest wave. Shehas created a series of interactive works on theWeb (www.blessed-bandwidth.net), where visi-tors are invited to choose a religion so that theymay receive a blessing. Other artists introducedin this volume are Bala Subramaniam, SoniaKhurana, Thukral & Tagra, Baba Anand, BhartiKher and Krinaraj Chonat.

Artists from LeipzigText by Yun Chea Gab, Henna Jou, AristideFenster.Featuring work by Tilo Baumgärtel, Martin Kobe,Uwe Kowski and Tobias Lehner, among others,this volume surveys influential players from the New Leipzig School—painters who haveemerged from the venerable Leipzig ArtAcademy in the former G.D.R. The academy has a reputation for turning out painters skilled inthe figurative art tradition. Because of the ironcurtain and the Berlin Wall, the West’s frenzy forabstraction never quite reached East Germany.Today, painters who have emerged from theacademy post-unification are still steeped in this figurative tradition—though they are freely borrowing styles from other cultures,movements and periods. What these paintershave in common is that the content of theirwork depicts the intense social change thatGermany has undergone since unification. Ascritic Arthur Lubow observes, “The first hint of ashift appeared in 1997, when Neo Rauch won theart prize of the local newspaper, the LeipzigerVolkszeitung. Rauch, now 45, came of age in the G.D.R., but he was young enough to absorbthe imagery of comic books, television and computer graphics that shaped the stylistictastes of his generation.”

GoyaText by José Gudiol.Goya—the name alone evokes countless masterpieces, both painted and printed: the raw andbrutal “Third of May 1808,” the nightmarish Caprichos etchings (with the famous motto, “Thesleep of reason produces monsters”), the compellingly erotic “Nude Maja” and “Clothed Maja,”the savage Disasters of War series and, of course, the late black paintings, with their murky fore-bodings of public unrest and private turmoil. Although Goya’s influence on his contemporarieswas minimal (eclipsed as he was at the time by artists trained in the classical style of David andIngres), it can now be traced clearly from Manet through Picasso to Surrealism, Polke, theChapman brothers and on.Nobody expressed the ravages of warfare and the extremes of human experience like Goya; itmade him the envy of Picasso, who, as a young artist, copied his signature over and over, asthough to absorb the personality and abilities of his one supreme influence. And it is perhaps thewildly imaginative freedoms of Goya’s late work that has kept him so contemporary—that, andthe palpable emotion in his brushwork, so full of impact and sensation. Here, José Gudiol,renowned author of essays and monographs on Velázquez, El Greco and Spanish art, provides aserious introduction to the massive subject that is Goya.

ZurbaránText by Santiago Alcolea i Gil.Starker than Velázquez and more ascetic than El Greco, Francisco Zurbarán (1598-1664) is easilyamong the finest of seventeenth-century Spanish painters. Apprenticed in Seville, he quickly grav-itated toward the use of chiaroscuro, possibly having seen paintings by Caravaggio there: he waslater to become known as “the Spanish Caravaggio.” But Zurbarán’s temperament, as it is realizedin his painting, appears more melancholy, and therefore less foreboding, than Caravaggio’s, andhis religious subjects are almost exclusively Christian. He developed a characteristic image reper-toire around monasticism and martyrs and made a speciality of the Carthusians, whose whiterobes he took evident pleasure in depicting. His best-known work may be his 1631 “Apotheosis ofSaint Thomas Aquinas,” now housed in the Seville Museum. It was around this time thatZurbarán’s star reached its peak, as he was appointed court painter to Philip IV. Later, towards theend of his life, Zurbarán’s harsh chiaroscuro style fell from favor, but his reputation was restored inthe twentieth century, in part through the concerns of Cubism and its attraction to precedents foran emphatic plasticity. In this monograph, illustrated with 114 color plates, Santiago Alcolea, ascholar of seventeenth-century Spanish art and the author of previous books on Velázquez and ElGreco, provides us with an overview of Zurbarán’s artistic career, dividing it into four stylistic phas-es and reproposing his relevance for our times.

Cézanne-Giacometti: Paths of DoubtText by Felix Baumann, Tobia Bezzola, Inken Freudenberg, Donat Rütimann, Poul Erik Tøjner.Though they were born 62 years and hundreds of miles apart, synchronicities between PaulCézanne and Alberto Giacometti continue to arise. Called “father of us all” by Pablo Picasso,the French Postimpressionist Cézanne is widely regarded as the artistic bridge betweenImpressionism and Modernism, and he was highly influential to Giacometti, the Swiss sculptorknown for his Surrealistic, elongated human forms of the 1940s, 50s and 60s. The subtitle of thisvolume, Paths of Doubt, refers in part to both artists’ refusal of the movements by which theywere embraced: in Cézanne’s case, Impressionism, and in Giacometti’s, Surrealism. Doubt alsoalludes to Cézanne’s late success. His legendarily bad social skills led him from the artistic hub of 1870s Paris to the French countryside, where he lived as a recluse, only attracting attention forhis work when he was in his late fifties. Giacometti, conversely, found early success with theSurrealists but broke off from them in the late 40s when he began making more realistic blackfigurative sculptures. His doubt surfaced in statements like these: “If I could make a sculpture or apainting (but I’m not sure I want to) in just the way I’d like to, they would have been made longsince (but I am incapable of saying what I want).

Masters of ImpressionismA History of Painting from 1874-1926Edited by Andreas Blühm. Text by Andreas Blühm, Michael Zimmermann, Barbara Schäfer.For lovers of the late-nineteenth century art movement that broke all conventions of academicpainting by privileging color over line, encouraging work en plein air and depicting realistic sub-jects from modern life, this substantial new collection is a must-have. Featuring work by Cézanne,Manet, Monet, Morisot, Renoir, Sisley, Signac, Seurat and Van Gogh, it is culled from the collectionof the Wallraf-Richartz Museum & Corboud Collection in Cologne, Germany—called “Wallraf” forshort. Founded in 1861 and housed in a beautiful building designed by Oswald Mathias Ungers,Wallraf is Cologne’s oldest museum and one of Germany’s greatest spaces for seeing importanthistorical art. It boasts one of the most extensive collections of Western art in the country, fromthe Middle Ages through to the early twentieth century, and its Impressionist andPostimpressionist collection is now the largest in the country, thanks to the permanent loan of170 paintings by the Swiss collector Gérard J. Corboud—which included among its gems vanGogh’s great 1888 painting “The Langlois Bridge at Arles.” In this richly illustrated volume, all ofthe treasures from Wallraf’s Impressionist collection are presented for the first time in stunningdetail.

Benin: Kings and RitualsCourt Arts from NigeriaEdited by Barbara Plakensteiner.Foreword by O.J. Eboreime.Published to accompany the major touring exhibition which comes to Chicago in the sum-mer of 2008, this monumental volume featuresmore than 500 reproductions alongside impor-tant new scholarship on the prized sculpturesand carvings of the Benin Kingdom of sixteenth-through nineteenth-century West Africa (pre-colonial Nigeria). It brings together for the firsttime masterpieces that have been scattered allover the world since the end of the nineteenthcentury, while simultaneously documenting thefall of the independent Kingdom, its reconstitu-tion in the twentieth century and its continuedexistence through today. From elaborate bas-relief plaques to stately commemorative king’sheads and towering elephant tusks embellishedwith detailed figurative scenes, the artworksgathered here glorify the king as the politicaland spiritual head of his people and honored hisancestors. The detailed workmanship and out-standing aesthetic quality of Benin’s royal sculp-tures have been compared to the Renaissanceartist Benvenuto Cellini. And their iconographicdetail conveys the sumptuousness of the royalcourt and its historical importance as a regionalpowerhouse in the Benin (or Edo) era.

Hewas (and remains) the foremostMexican Symbolist, close to OdilonRedon or Gustave Moreau in hisappetite for hallucinatory scenarios.For José Clemente Orozco, as formany others, Ruelas was the touch-stone influence, and he was animportant participant in the bur-geoning arts of his day: he was theprincipal illustrator for the RevistaModerna, a magazine not dissimilarto the Yellow Book that publishedexcellent Spanish translations ofNovalis, Edgar Allan Poe and CharlesBaudelaire, as well as the poetry ofRuben Darío. Based on the cente-nary exhibition of the same name atthe National Art Museum in MexicoCity, The Lugubrious Traveler restoresRuelas to his rightful prominence.

This exhibition cataloguecelebrates the role that NorthAmerican museums, galleries andprivate collectors have played inbringing about a renaissance ofinterest in Lam’s art. It particularlyaddresses the role of Lam’s Afro-Cuban ethnicity in the developmentof his unusual hybridized vocabu-lary, a blend of Paris School,Surrealist and Afro-Cuban aesthetics.

Georges Rouault:Judges, Clowns andWhoresForeword by David Nash.In this incisive exhibition catalogueof the artwork of the French Fauvistand Expressionist Georges Rouault(1871-1958), paintings of judges,clowns and whores, as well as acro-bats, soldiers and singers, presentthe artist as thoroughly Modern.Made between the early 1900s andthe late 1930s, when Rouault was atthe height of his creative powers,these paintings showcase the artist’sremarkable range, from jewel-tonedsmall watercolors to larger oils oncanvas; from gentle, thin washes tothickly encrusted, muscular layers ofpaint. Many of the paintings collect-ed here belong to the permanentcollections of major internationalmuseums and have never beenreproduced before in color in anAmerican publication. BecauseRouault is said to have destroyedseveral hundred works at the end ofhis life, each of the oils and works onpaper collected here is particularlyspecial, becoming even more rarewhen viewed as an ensemble.Besides large-scale plates of thework, this volume includes an intro-duction by David Nash, a biographyof the artist, a checklist and severalintimate photographs of the artist.

Ferdinand HodlerEdited by Katharina Schmidt.Text by Oskar Bätschmann, RobertKopp, Matthias Frehner, PaulMuller, Katharina Schmidt.Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler isone of Europe’s best least-knownartists. Though he remained inSwitzerland for his entire life, hisinternational reputation has beengrowing in the past several decades,beginning with a traveling retro-spective in the early 1970s. Hodler,who kept up on the latest move-ments brewing in Paris, is consid-ered a Symbolist who tempered thatmovement’s flights of fancy withRealism. He is regarded as a bridgebetween the Modern period and theimpulses of mid-1800s Realism,Symbolism and Art Nouveau. Asmay be expected with such a rangeof influences at the artists’ disposal,Hodler’s style fluctuated widelythroughout his career. His bestknown painting may be “TheWoodcutter” (1908), which was com-missioned as an illustration for theSwiss 50-franc note. More than twodecades since his last retrospective,this fresh and extensive assessmentof Hodler’s paintings finds muchnew territory to uncover.

Robert Frank: The Complete Film Works. Vol. 3Keep Busy, About Me: A Musical, S-8 Stones Footage from Exile on Main StreetRobert Frank, born in Zurich in 1924, has made, in his 50-year career, an unquestionably significantcontribution to photography. His seminal book The Americans is arguably the most importantAmerican photography publication of the postwar period. His work continues to influence pho-tographers, and has spawned a rich body of theoretical writing. Yet at the very moment Frankbecame an art-world star at the end of the 1950s, he abandoned still photography to become afilmmaker. Though he did return to photography in the 1970s, Frank the filmmaker has remaineda well-kept secret for almost four decades. A compilation examining his missing years is longoverdue. Robert Frank: The Complete Film Works details each one of Frank’s more than 25 films andvideos—many of them classics of 1950s and 60s New American Cinema. Volume 3 of the set, thisbeautifully packaged publication, features three DVDs—which include Keep Busy (1975), About Me:A Musical (1971) and S-8 Stones Footage from Exile on Main Street (1972)—in a film-roll-box slipcase.

Robert Frank: Zero Mostel Reads a BookThe female subject absorbed in a book has prompted masterworks from Vermeer, Monet, Vuillard and Matisse,among many others. Less often portrayed are men in the act of reading—even Manet’s portrait of Émile Zoladepicts the writer staring away from his open volume. Is it the supposed passivity of this act that has discour-aged men from modeling it? This mini-genre remains even less explored yet by photographers, though it surelyoffers the supreme opportunity for coaxing subjects of either sex into unself-consciousness, if not outright rever-ie. In Zero Mostel Reads a Book, Robert Frank takes a male comic actor for his subject but flouts the genre’s qui-etist sobriety in every way possible. Mostel is depicted in cartoonish dimensions, bemused, baffled and apoplec-tic, as he makes his way through an unidentified hardback volume, while seated at a table or on a sofa in a largelounge area. First published in 1963 by The New York Times “for the fun of it” and a collector’s item ever since, thislovely publication relates a series of theatrical and playful vignettes in which Mostel’s most famous roles—Tevyein Fiddler on the Roof, Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Max Bialystock in TheProducers—are clearly signaled. It is a delightful moment of slapstick in the Frank oeuvre.

Dirk Reinartz: New York 1974Edited by Karin Reinartz.The photographer Dirk Reinartz began to organize his photographs into books in 1985. Digging upimages from a 1974 trip to New York, he exclaimed, “These really are my best pictures!” He choseseveral for publication but sadly died in 2004, leaving the project unfinished. This book is thecompletion of that project. Reinartz’s New York photographs offer a highly personal tale of thecity. Among the crush and crowds of people, he discovered special characters and expressive faces;and in the city that casts many shadows, he especially captured the fascinating play of light.Reinartz’s photographs recall the atmosphere of a place that, in the middle of the 1970s, was fullof promise and on the threshold of an urban revival.Dirk Reinartz (1947-2004) studied photography with Otto Steinert at the Folkwang School inEssen before launching his career in 1971 as the youngest photographic reporter at Stern maga-zine. In 1977 he joined the photographers’ collective VISUM. After his departure from VISUM in1982 he worked independently, specializing in recent and controversial historical themes, such asGerman concentration camps. He also made several now-iconic portraits of artists, and his workwith Richard Serra, whose worldwide sculptural projects he documented, resulted in severalimportant books on the artist’s work. Until his death in 2004, Reinartz taught photography at theMuthesius University in Kiel.

Josef Sudek: PortraitsText by Jan Rezác.Although the Czech photographer Josef Sudek was mildly reclusive by temperament, andalthough his photography is commonly characterized as unpeopled (in favor of what he termed“the inanimate life of objects”), a sizable portion of his oeuvre is given over to portraits. In fact,the beginnings of Sudek’s work are in portraiture, in his images of fellow patients at the veteran’shospital where he spent three years after the First World War. (It was here that Sudek’s rightarm was amputated after a battlefield injury, a misfortune which did not prevent him from using heavy, large-format cameras in the future.) Decades later, after he had cofounded the Czech Photographic Society in 1924 and established his signature Neoromantic preoccupationwith architectural Prague, he returned to the genre. Throughout the 1940s and 50s, Sudek photographed close friends, among them the poet and Nobel Laureate Jaroslav Seifert, manypainters and writers, but also scientists, doctors, politicians, architects, actors and other importantpublic figures in Czechoslovakia. Portraits, the second volume of Sudek’s collected photographs,gathers this body of work. In addition to a chronology of Sudek’s life, it includes a complete bibliography and list of his exhibitions, as well as an interview with Jan Rezác, Sudek’s colleagueand an expert on his work.

Josef Sudek: The Window of My StudioText by Anna Fárová.Josef Sudek was Prague’s Atget. From the mid-1920s until his death in 1976, Sudek photographedeverything—the Gothic and Baroque architecture, the streets and objects—usually leaving theframe free of people. Where Atget photographed the social realities of Paris, Sudek captured amore subjective experience of the city where he was born. Because he was reclusive, a large por-tion of Sudek’s body of work was captured through his studio window—he was particularly fondof how the glass refracted light. The Window of My Studio series, spanning from the beginning ofthe Second World War to the first half of the 1950s, has never previously been compiled in one vol-ume. This publication presents the series, which was of fundamental importance to Sudek, for itcaused his work to verge even more into a Surreal or Magic Realist style, with blurred images andstrong shadows. Photography historian Anna Farova contributes an introduction and an extensivebiographical chronology to this volume, which also includes a complete bibliography of portfolios,books and catalogues of Sudek’s work, as well as a complete list of his exhibitions—informationthat is difficult to find elsewhere. The publication has been produced in collaboration with the ArtGallery of Ontario.

Wall has long been interested in thelanguage of Realism, in the values and aestheticsof representing daily life. All of the pictures real-istically portray desolate places and people instraitened circumstances typical of contempo-rary society. This focused catalogue, with essaysby Guggenheim Museum Curator ofPhotography Jennifer Blessing and Katrin Blum,aptly demonstrates Wall’s continuing interroga-tion of the history of photographic representa-tion—here specifically the legacies of documen-tary photography and Neorealist film.Jeff Wall was born in Vancouver, British Columbia,in 1946.

Andreas GurskyText by Beate Söntgen, Nina Zimmer.Preface by Bernhard Mendes Bürgi.Famed worldwide for his epically proportionedphotographs, Andreas Gursky is one of very fewcontemporary artists able to represent culturesof excessive information—which he doesthrough images of supermarket wares, crowds,trash, architecture and nature. The extreme detailof Gursky’s final image—achieved by digitalrestructuring—produces a vertiginous effect onthe viewer, as it oscillates between total repre-sentation and total abstraction. It could be saidthat Gursky updates the eighteenth-century sub-lime for our times. This publication surveys theartist’s most recent creations, on display at therenowned Kunstmuseum Basel throughout thewinter of 2007/2008. Two new groups of worksin particular, one on Formula 1 races and theother on the famous Arirang Festival (a closelychoreographed mass spectacle in North Korea’scapital of Pyongyang), are gathered here.Andreas Gursky was born in 1955 in Leipzig,East Germany, and studied at the prestigiousKunstakademie, Düsseldorf.

Peter BialobrzeskiLost in TransitionText by Michael Glasmeier.In Heimat, his previous collection of photographs published by HatjeCantz, German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski, born in 1961, gave uspictures of his homeland that showed it as it had never been seenbefore. Photo International deemed it “one of the most beautiful and significant photography books this year.” Even before that, Bialobrzeski’scritically acclaimed exploration of the Asian megacity phenomenon,Neon Tigers, had made him a common topic of debate on the interna-tional photography scene. Bialobrzeski’s gift is for the portrayal of epicsweep in urban vistas and of the energies that inhabit and galvanizethem. In Lost in Transition the photographer applies his grand vision tothe transformation of wasteland areas, many of which are located onthe peripheries of cities. The photographs were taken in more than 28cities (including Hamburg, Dubai, New York, Singapore, New Delhi andKuala Lumpur) and 14 countries and trace the transition from old to new,from the familiar to the abstract, from the dilapidated to the renewed.These images are as seductive and sublime as nineteenth-centuryRomantic paintings, but their apparent beauty is deceptive. As in his earlier works, Bialobrzeski always tests and pushes at the limitations ofthe documentary image itself.

CalcuttaChitpur Road NeighborhoodsEdited by Peter Bialobrzeski. Text by Manish Chakraborty,Florian Hanig.In nineteenth-century Calcutta, a wealthy Indian elite emergedunder the rule of the British East India Company. For theirhomes, they built eclectic Bengali equivalents of industrialistmansions, which blended traditional Mogul architecture withmore classical Western elements. Today these crumbling villasand palaces retain only a shred of their former splendor, and itseems only a matter of time before they will disappear for good.In this volume, 21 emerging photographers work with PeterBiaolobrzeski to capture the fading grandeur of this rich histori-cal architecture. In 2007, Germany’s respected daily newspaperSüdeutsche Zeitung commented,“If Calcutta had the appeal ofHavana, its palaces would long ago have become the subject ofvarious coffee-table books.” At last, such a book exists.

Kohei Yoshiyuki: The ParkEdited by Yossi Milo. Interview by Nobuyoshi Araki. Text by Vince Aletti.Kohei Yoshiyuki’s nighttime photographs, taken with infrared film and flash in Japan’sShinjuku, Yoyogi and Aoyama Parks during the 1970s, capture the illicit sexual encoun-ters, both heterosexual and homosexual, that frequently occurred there under thecloak of darkness. The Park’s images not only reveal hidden sexual exploits but alsouncover many spectators ardently lurking in the darkness, waiting to join in—andquickly raise issues of voyeurism and surveillance. In The Photobook: A History, Volume II,Martin Parr speaks to the societal relevance of this series, calling it, “A brilliant piece ofsocial documentation, catching perfectly the loneliness, sadness and desperation thatso often accompany sexual or human relationships in a big, hard metropolis like Tokyo.”As exhibition organizer and editor Yossi Milo writes in his introduction, “With eachviewing, I noticed something that had eluded me before: the photos’ rigorous compo-sitions. . . They are provocative photographs, and unsettling as well: one is both chilledand thrilled by Yoshiyuki’s boldness, by how close he crept to his unaware subjects, bythe hours he spent late at night crouched in bushes and against trees, waiting for hisperfect shot.” Originally published as Document Kouen in Japan in 1980 and long outof print, the austere and acclaimed first edition of this book now commands pricesnear $1,000 per copy. This new, updated edition, featuring an interview with the artistby colleague Nobuyoshi Araki and an essay by the noted photo critic Vince Aletti, con-tains all 60 works from the infamous Park series, reproduced from new scans indeluxe duotones. This work has not been seen by the public since the 1970s and hasbeen known only to cult collectors until now. Exhibited in September of 2007, it wasone of the most talked-about offerings of the season.

Daido Moriyama: Kagero and ColorsThis gorgeous, text-free, oversized collection of full-bleed color and black-and-white photographscompiles a host of previously unseen color nudes together with the collection that formed DaidoMoriyama’s extremely rare fourth solo book, Kagerou, published in 1972. Here, Moriyama capturesbondage and nudity with a self-described “samurai tenderness”—a mood, an intimacy and yetalso a distance—as if the artist might have snapped the photographs against his will. The stag-ings are not careful. They are rushed, immediate and mysteriously visceral. Even the knots seem tohave been hastily tied. Each of the 60 photographs gathered here suggests that something hashappened or something will happen—something furious, resonant or highly anticipated. Thereare no models smiling, no boasts of romantic conquest, rarely even a face, and certainly no hint ofplayfulness. Rather, this is a collection of desires, of mothers, sisters and lovers.Daido Moriyama was born near Osaka in 1938. He now lives and works in Tokyo. In 1960, Moriyamamoved to Tokyo to join the eminent photographers’ group VIVO. Since then he has collaboratedwith many prominent Japanese photographers including Eikoh Hosoe and Noboyushi Araki. He iswidely considered one of the most important and influential living photographers in the world.

Hiroh KikaiEdited by Noriko Fuku, Christopher Phillips. Text by Hiroh Kikai, Hiromichi Hosoma.Foreword by Christopher Phillips. Interview by Noriko Fuku.The Asakusa quarter of Tokyo has a shady past—it was the home of some of Japan’s most notorious pleasure palaces. Today it embraces this history by remaining a steadfastholdout of independent culture, which encompasses traditional comedy theater andsome of the most innovative burlesque in the world. Asakusa has long attracted bohemi-ans who opt out of Japan’s contemporary consumer society, yet it is also home to thefamous Senso-ji temple, which attracts floods of tourists. Over the past two decades,Hiroh Kikai has created an extensive and unforgettable series of street portraits from thediverse mass of people who pass through the district. Posed against the stark walls of the temple, his portraits of Asakusa’s iconoclasts radiate a sense of hard-won individuality.The photographs are accompanied by Kikai’s own pithy commentary.

Takashi Homma: TokyoText by Ferdinand Brueggemann.Since the advent of photography, certain cities have become inextricably intertwined with theirdepiction by great photographers: Eugène Atget in turn-of-the-century Paris; Berenice Abbott in1930s New York; Ed Ruscha in late-60s Los Angeles. While Daido Moriyama documented the disaf-fection and dissipation of postwar Tokyo, Takashi Homma picks up the baton with a contemporaryportrait of the modern-day metropolis that is both cinematic and complex. For over a decade,Homma has turned the neutral gaze of his lens toward Tokyo’s suburban environs and urban cen-ter. As in all of his work, Homma’s vision of Tokyo navigates a finely nuanced line between sterilityand sentimentality, detachment and lusciousness, presenting a sleek, contemporary vision of apostmodern megalopolis populated by a new generation of video-game aficionados and fashion-istas. While Homma has published extensively inside his native Japan, this is his first volume pub-lished for an international audience. Takashi Homma: Tokyo compiles selections from each of theartist’s six previously published titles on the city, including Tokyo Suburbia, his seminal work nowconsidered a contemporary classic.Takashi Homma, born in Tokyo in 1962, studied photography at Nihon University College of Art butleft in 1984 to take a job as an in-house photographer at a Tokyo advertising agency. In 1991, hemoved to London to work as a photographer for i-D magazine. In 1998, he was awarded a KimuraIhei Commemorative Photography Award for the project Tokyo Suburbia (1998). Homma currentlylives in Tokyo.

Stephen Gill: Archaeology in ReverseText by Iain Sinclair.Stephen Gill has learnt this: to haunt the placesthat haunt him. His photo-accumulations demon-strate a tender vision factored out of experience;alert, watchful, not overeager, wary of thatmendacious conceit, “closure.” There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passingthrough a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politicexchange. Then he remounts the bicycle and away. Loving retrievals, like a letter to a friend,never possession. . . What I like about Stephen Gill is that he has learnt to give us only as much as we need, the bones of the bones of the bones. . . —Iain SinclairContinuing to photograph where his award-win-ning book Hackney Wick left off, Stephen Gill also made Archaeology in Reverse in this person-ally cherished area of East London. Still makingpictures with the camera he bought at HackneyWick market for 50 pence, for this volume Gill focuses on things that do not yet exist.This magnificently produced book features traces and clues of things to come in a poetic,sometimes eerie and quiet photographic studyof a place in a state of limbo prior to the rapidtransformation that the area faces during thebuild-up to the Olympics in 2012.

Stephen Gill: Hackney FlowersUK photographer Stephen Gill has again used hissurroundings as the inspiration for this beautifuland evocative series. Hackney Flowers evolvedfrom Gill’s longstanding interest in Hackney, EastLondon. For this volume, Gill collected flowers,seeds, berries and objects from Hackney, thenpressed them in his studio and rephotographedthem alongside his own photographs and otherfound ephemera, thus building up multi-layeredimages built from the area. Some of the basephotographs were also buried in Hackney Wick,allowing the subsequent decay to imprint uponthe images, stressing this collaboration withplace. A parallel series also runs within this finelyproduced book, showing members of theHackney public with floral details on their per-sons. This is a warm, poetic and visually excitingbook containing images that leave an over-whelming sense of color, emotion and rhythmextracted from a single borough of London.

Edgar Martins: TopologiesText by John Beardsley. Interview by DavidCampany.With artful composition and controlled fram-ing—but no digital manipulation—EdgarMartins creates sublimely beautiful views ofoften unbeautiful sites. Minimalist nighttimebeaches, forests ravaged by fires and Iceland’sstark terrain have all served as subjects for hislarge-scale color photographs. He also exploresthe unexpected impact of Modernism on thelandscape, including startlingly graphic airportrunways and colorful highway barriers that, atfirst glance, read like abstract murals. Certainthemes recur throughout Martins’ work. A senseof place and alienation from it. A sense of mys-tery—vividly embodied in scenes such as awoman with a bouquet of balloons on a desert-ed shore. And a sense that something unsettlinghas just happened or is about to happen—a fire,an accident, a close encounter with someunspecified danger. As John Beardsley notes,“Some images are what we habitually expectphotography to be—evidence of the world aswe think we know it—while others obscuretheir subjects through an illusionism that bor-ders on magic.”Edgar Martins, born in Portugal in 1977, grew upin Macao, China, and has lived in England since1996. His first limited-edition book, Black Holesand Other Inconsistencies, was awarded theThames & Hudson and RCA Society Art BookPrize; his second, The Diminishing Present, waspublished in 2006.

Nacho López: Luna CórneaA frank chronicler of postwar Mexico’s political contradictions, Nacho López (1923–1986) publishedthe most critical images of his time, in photo essays for magazines such as Hoy, Mañana andSiempre! He photographed the streets of Mexico City, its pool halls, pulque bars and the grimLecumberri prison, with an almost classical eye; all of his pictures are rigorously composed andcontain no extraneous matter, addressing only the necessary and the telling. To achieve this conci-sion, López would often construct scenarios, such as arranging for an actress to stroll past groupsof men in the street and provoke their “approval.” López’s photos also have the special quality ofappearing to eliminate temporal conditions, so that their subjects are seized more in space thantime. In this manner, López captured the corrupt as they fell from grace and the disenfranchisedas they defied their poverty with camaraderie and improvised entertainments. This latest issue of Luna Córnea is a full-length monograph on López, exploring all aspects of his oeuvre, includinghis work on architecture, dance and anthropology. Nacho López’s work is little known outside ofMexico today: Luna Córnea redresses that oversight.

Luigi Ghirri: It’s Beautiful Here, Isn’t It...Text by Germano Celant. Preface by William Eggleston.Notes by Paola Ghirri.Luigi Ghirri was an extraordinary photographer, as well as a writer andcurator whose career was so rich and varied that it seems like a lessonin the contemporary history of the medium. Although well known inhis native Italy, Ghirri does not yet have the international audience hiswork merits—perhaps because he died so young. It’s Beautiful Here,Isn’t It. . . —the first book published on Ghirri in the U.S.—will establishhim as the seminal artist he was. Uncannily prescient, Ghirri shared thesensibility of what became known in the U.S. as the New Color and theNew Topographics movements before they had even been named. Likehis counterparts in Italian cinema, Ghirri believed that the local and theuniversal were inseparable and that life’s polarities—love and hate,present and past—were equally compelling. Not surprisingly, his inter-ests encompassed all the arts: he worked in Giorgio Morandi’s studioand with architect Aldo Rossi, while influencing a generation of pho-tographers, including Olivo Barbieri and Martin Parr. This dynamic newbook includes a selection of Ghirri’s essays published in English for thefirst time, as well as a selected chronology.Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992) was born in Scandiano, Italy. He studied andworked in Modena. Ghirri exhibited throughout Europe, with solo showsin Geneva, Amsterdam, Arles and Cologne, as well as at the Light Gallery,New York. His photographs are in numerous collections, including TheMuseum of Modern Art, New York. His work is represented by Julie SaulGallery, New York.

Thelandscapes of the respected German-born, LosAngeles-based photographer Karin ApolloniaMüller evoke human presence and absence andthe spatiality of human desire at a time whenall things synthetic, flexible and global haveovertaken their more organic and local counter-parts. According to Martin Parr and GerryBadger’s important survey The Photobook: AHistory, Volume II, Müller “shows non-placerather than place, an environment that has anethereal, other-worldly quality. It is a city famil-iar to us from moving images, yet in her hands itemerges both fresh and strange. This is themost convincing photographic representation ofLos Angeles since that of Ed Ruscha in the 1960sand Robert Adams’ Los Angeles Spring of 1986.”And Christopher Knight of the Los Angeles Timeswrote, “A more apposite public portrait of thiscity would be hard to imagine.”

Manel Armengol: HerbariumText by Margaret Hooks.Manel Armengol began his career as a freelancejournalist in early-1970s Spain, and by the 80she had evolved into an important photojournal-ist, responsible for some of the most iconicimages of the country’s political upheaval dur-ing those tumultuous transitional years—until asevere accident truncated his brief journalisticcareer in its prime. This beautifully producedclothbound volume presents an exploration ofArmengol’s post-journalistic oeuvre of the pasttwo decades, with a focus on one of his mostambitious series. Herbarium (2004) is a suite ofbeautifully crafted, closely-cropped photographsof 118 plants, 88 of which are reproduced here.Essayist Margaret Hooks writes, “Armengol’sintent in creating Herbarium was to use thecamera to rescue. . . seemingly simple plantsfrom anonymity and show their serene beauty.His Herbarium does much more than that. Inthese photographs a metamorphosis takes placewhereby the image of an unpretentious herb istransmuted. The commonplace becomes pro-found and mysterious, transformed into a ban-quet for the eyes. Vibrating with energy, leavesand tendrils swirl and curl in a gothic flamboy-ance, plump pistils perforate the air with sensu-ality; flower heads hang delicately on radiantstalks as the artist’s vision enables us to seethem in their sublime splendor.”

Matthias Schaller: Purple DesksText by Andreas Beyer.For the last three years—during the pontificatesof both Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI—Matthias Schaller has gone inside the Vatican to photograph the rarely seen offices of theRoman Catholic cardinals. Using fifteenth-centu-ry iconography as a model, such as the portraitsof cardinals Saint Hieronymus and SaintAugustine by Vittore Carpaccio, Schaller com-bines Renaissance tradition with the technologyand conventions of contemporary art—for hisworks are portraits without a sitter. In thisabsorbing monograph, his subjects are revealedthrough our entrée into their intimate chambersand through the subtle differences of theirattendant accessories, forcing viewers to con-front our own assumptions about who thesemen really are. It perhaps comes as no surprisethat Schaller, who was born in Germany andnow splits his time between New York andVenice, studied cultural anthropology beforeembarking on his career in photography.

Jo Longhurst: The RefusalText by Ute Eskildsen, Jo Longhurst.For several years, Jo Longhurst has been photo-graphing British whippets by bloodline, workingwith top breeders in order to explore the exact-ing and obsessive quest for the perfect showdog. The shaping of the domestic dog has a history in nineteenth-century eugenics, a movement born out of the invention of the photographic process. The Refusal questionsideas of conformity and difference, breeding andeugenics—the search for perfection. There is awealth of animal imagery in the history of art,of animals as symbol, metaphor or allegory, yet itis rare that they are represented as themselves.Longhurst challenges this precedent. Sheexplores the intimate relationship between dog and breeder, in which power, control, loveand desire are intertwined. As part of her working process, Longhurst employs a variety of photographic technologies that have beenused to record human portraits, from state-of-the-art to stereoscopic.

The young New York photographer Lisa Kereszi, then an assistant to Nan Goldin, was there withher camera to catch it all happening. She began by shooting Show World, aclub that was in the process of being closed down by the new laws. In herflash, Kereszi caught abandoned lockers, dressing rooms filled with old shoesand costumes and the grimy elegance of the empty theater—which wasnever meant to be seen by the light of day. Simultaneously, she began tophotograph the new burlesque scene—which went underground in the late1990s and has since evolved into a conceptually sophisticated, funny andrebellious medium. More pinup than porn, in just a few years, the new bur-lesque is no longer invisible, and has been gleefully appropriated into main-stream culture by way of Hollywood and the print media. A graduate of YaleUniversity’s MFA program, Kereszi’s editorial work has appeared in books andmagazines, including The New York Times Magazine, Nest, Harper’s, Wallpaperand GQ; she is represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York.

Pierre et Gilles: RetrospectiveForeword by Renaud Donnadieu, Samuel Kung.Text by Oscar Ho Hing-Kay.A sorrowful French sailor boy submerged in a confectionary sea; a doll-like dom-inatrix bound to a cheap vinyl-coated chair, the young Yves Saint Laurent; a coyAsian nude holding the Ace of Spades on his left thigh, a muddy rugby playerstaring seductively ahead and a winsome Iggy Pop are just a few of the over-the-top, super-stylized images collected in this retrospective collection of spec-tacular images by the French photographers known simply by their first names,Pierre et Gilles. Spanning from the late 1970s until 2005, this large, square volume features a comprehensive collection of the duo’s signature highlyretouched portraits. Whether depicting celebrities or friends, the work of Pierreet Gilles is both idealized and irreverent, always erotic and usually set againstfantasy backgrounds. It was compared sympathetically to the work of DavidLaChapelle, Mariko Mori and even Gregory Crewdson in a 2000 Artforum reviewby Vince Aletti, where the oeuvre was fittingly described as a “seductively gaudy,frankly homoerotic utopia, where saints, sailors and movie stars inhabit thesame candy-colored never-never land.”

Bernhard PrinzThis first extensive overview of the photographs of Bernhard Prinz heads for the center ofthe artist’s oeuvre, the portrait, which Prinz has often featured opposite sculptural arrange-ments. This work—in which young boys (“Krux”) and women (“Ikonen”) stare straight intothe camera, sometimes just a little bit disrobed and always in front of a neutral backdrop—has been described as creating an atmosphere of strangeness, distance and coldness. Thephotographs are at once eroticized and emptied, sculptural, enigmatic and powerful. Theycan feel hostile or inviting from one moment to the next. This curious quality makes themabsolutely riveting. One writer noted the way Prinz’s work captures “young, beautifulhumans, who—removed from any social connection, any emotion, psychological conditionor physical individuality—seem to portray the entire culture.” At the least it contrasts themass nature of photography with the metaphors and allegories of individual identity andplays complex games with impact and meaning.Bernhard Prinz was born in Fürth, Germany, in 1953. He studied art history in Erlangen andfine arts in Nürnberg and Hamburg. From 1997 to 2004, Prinz taught at the University ofEssen. Today he holds a chair in Experimental Photography at the Art Academy in Kassel.

Jessica Todd Harper: Interior ExposureForeword by Larry Fink. Interview by Sarah A. McNear.Pennsylvania-based photographer Jessica Todd Harper says of her technicallywell considered, quotidian portraits and interiors, “I show people in familiarsettings, in their homes the way the Renaissance artists Dürer, Van Eyck andAnguissola examined simple people, their identities and existences in theirprivate activities rather than in the happenings or objects around them.” Awoman lounges on a couch, everything in focus except for her hand, poisedabove blurred magazine pages; a book lies face down on a bed; a baby staresintently into the camera, a dapple of sunlight playing across her face—suchseemingly spontaneous scenes reveal themselves to be quite directed. Thelighting in particular, sometimes harking back to a Velázquez-esquechiaroscuro, is painterly, almost otherworldly. These images call to mind aquieter, more composed Tina Barney. Harper teaches photography atSwarthmore College. This is her first monograph.

Julie Blackmon: Domestic VacationsEssay by Regina Hackett. Interview by Alison Nordstrom.The Dutch saying, “a Jan Steen household,” originated in the seventeenth century and has come to refer to a home in disarray,full of rowdy children and boisterous family gatherings. Thepaintings of Steen, along with those of other Dutch and Flemishgenre painters, are the direct inspiration behind the layereddomestic scenes of Julie Blackmon’s photographic work. Raised as the oldest of nine children, and the mother of three herself,Blackmon takes an approach to her work that is at once autobiographical and fictional. According to Anne Wilkes Tuckerof The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Blackmon has “taken a subject that is ripe for cliché—mother photographing children—and through the subtle, digital manipulations, the use of colorand highly graphic images, she’s given it humor and edge andtaken the subject somewhere fresh.”

Ray K. MetzkerText by William A. Ewing.Interview by Nathalie Herschdorfer.From his early education at The ArtInstitute of Chicago in the late 50s,Ray K. Metzker inherited the richvocabulary of avant-garde photogra-phy between the wars: photomon-tage, solarization, multiple printingof negatives, unique perspectives,diagonals, etc. From his first expo-sure to photography, Metzker neverlost the urge to experiment with the grammar and syntax of themedium, whether it was gamesplayed within the camera itself (the Doubleframes, for example) or complex manipulations in thedarkroom (the celebratedComposites). He has drawn inspira-tion from the neighborhoods wherehe has lived (mainly Chicago andPhiladelphia) and, increasingly, fromnature—though the vegetation hedepicts might be a weed-cloggedvacant city lot as easily as the vastopen plains of the American West.Decomposing, recomposing, decon-structing, reconstructing, Metzkerreminds us of the great and inex-haustible potential of black-and-white photography when practicedby a master. With 180 tritone-printedimages, this publication offers a rare opportunity to examine the full range of Metzker’s brilliant andever-evolving formal language.

Klaus Mettig: Don’tBe Left BehindText by Frank Wagner, Ingrid Hölzl.German photographer KlausMettig—who was born inBrandenburg in 1950—has traveledcontinually since 1973, making pho-tographs that convey an indetermi-nate sense of time, place and cul-ture. Portraits of people, landscapesand cityscapes tell a story, but onethat is difficult to pin down. “TrustYou Equal Love (Lions)” (2004) is ablack-and-white portrait of two menwalking down an anonymous urbanstreet in front of a giant skull graffi-tied on a wall. It is uncertain if thesubject of the photograph is thepeople or the background. Mettigalso often collaborates with hislongtime partner, KatharinaSieverding. “Motorkamera I-VIII”(1973–74), consists of 386 black-and-white photo-booth images of thecouple in drag, with Mettig becom-ing progressively femme andSieverding progressively butch. InDon’t Be Left Behind, Mettig contin-ues in this vein, exploring severalAsian cities through panoramas andportraits. The volume includesessays by writer Ingrid Hölzl andcurator Frank Wagner.

Rather than fall pray toNordic melancholy while in seclu-sion, Jeppesen constructed a poetic,dreamlike sequence from his archiveof past images that, in its arrange-ment, reflects the emotional andaesthetic clarity afforded by soli-tude. Composed of personal workmade while traveling on assignmentfor the past seven years, this mono-graph is a personal psychologicalstudy. As the title suggests, theimages in this volume inhabit theliminal space between darkness andtwilight, the torpid state betweensleeping and waking. The specificityof people, places and things givesway to light, color and texture. Thisseries is infused with a quiet drama,an impression that something justout of reach lies below the surfaceof each image.

Theimages and their accompanyingmemories—his sick uncle’s littlebottles of pills, a corpse floating inthe river, the last meal eaten by hisold horse, a schoolmate’s accident—do not promise better things tocome, yet there is a certain beautyto the “curse” of Lehtiskylä.

Magnum M3: FearIntroduction by Nicholas Guiraud.What does a photograph docu-ment? What does it mean? M is abiannual journal that explores therole of photography beyond itsusual illustrative, commercial orpurely journalistic purposes byaddressing the issue of its docu-mentary value. Each issue is organ-ized upon a single concept—in thiscase, Fear—around which iconicimages from the past are juxta-posed with recent work by Magnumphotographers. Containing work by25 Magnum alumni, M3 is a book of“photographic introspection.” Forfear is capable of both curbing anddriving artistic production. It can beanecdotal, traumatic, fleeting,absent or fundamental. Fear is anabstract idea for some photogra-phers, a deep-seated sentiment forothers. From Raymond Depardon’sCorrespondence New-Yorkaise andPaolo Pellegrin’s coverage of thebombardment of Beirut in 2006 toAntoine D’Agata’s family photos, M3is a visceral plunge into the photog-rapher’s psyche.

By the 1980s, the BritishCouncil had also begun to collectnew color photography by artistswho were documenting the socialscene. This volume brings the two collections together, with anessay by photography historian and critic David A. Mellor. A radically new picture of these 20 pivotalyears emerges.

True NorthText by Rebecca Solnit, Jennifer Blessing.True North features the work of contemporary artists whose photographic or video-based work evokes the formal conventions of Northern Romantic landscape paintingas well as its legacy in later nineteenth-century photography. Yet unlike theirRomantic antecedents, the works in this exhibition are historically and politically self-reflexive and problematize the notion of a pure, unchangeable North. Rather than report a uniquely Northern essence or truth, this presentation is premised on the idea that our visions of the North are structured through our own varyingpositions. A fantastical place of fear, desire, refuge, conquest and decay, the North hasplayed an increasingly important role in the work of contemporary artists interestedin the socio-political issues of colonization and pollution, as well as aesthetic notionsof the sublime. Accompanying a spring 2008 exhibition at Deutsche Guggenheim,Berlin, this catalogue includes entries on the featured artists: Stan Douglas, OlafurEliasson, Elger Esser, Thomas Flechtner, Roni Horn, Armin Linke and Orit Raff. In theintroduction, Jennifer Blessing, Curator of Photography at the Guggenheim Museum,sketches a theoretical framework for the exhibition, linking the recent focus onNorthern locales to the qualities of the photographic medium itself. Rebecca Solnit'spoetic essay gathers together personal recollections, reflections on literature and environmental and political concerns to explore various cultural fantasies and sym-bols associated with the North.

Modern Swedish Design TheoryThe Principal TextsEdited by Lucy Creagh, Helena Kåberg. Text by Lucy Creagh, Helena Kåberg, KennethFrampton, Barbara Miller Lane.Although Swedish design has exercised an extraordinary influence on Modern architecture andinterior furnishings internationally since the early twentieth century, the intellectual backgroundfrom which it emerged is far less familiar, for many of the crucial, generative writings on the sub-ject by Swedish thinkers of the time have not been widely translated. Modern Swedish DesignTheory collects three of these seminal essays for the first time in English. In the earliest of thegroup, “Beauty in the Home” (1897), written for a general audience, the social reformer Ellen Key(1849–1926) promotes simplicity and clarity of purpose in functional and decorative objects.Gregor Paulsson (1889–1977), director of the Swedish Society of Industrial Design from 1924 to1934, was instrumental in the spread of ideas like Key’s; his essay “Better Things for Everyday Life”(1919) similarly argued that design objects should be honest and simple in function, but went fur-ther in calling for a Modern design language that would reflect new materials and methods.Finally, Acceptera (1931), co-written by the architects featured in Paulsson’s Stockholm Exhibition of1930, engages in a debate between “traditionalists” and “Modernists”—between handcraftedbuildings and goods and design idioms emerging from industrial mass production.Accompanying these texts in the book are introductory essays and a postscript by the renownedarchitectural historian Kenneth Frampton.

Mexico: StencilWhen the Mexican government attempted toviolently quell the teacher’s union’s demonstra-tions in Oaxaca in June of 2006, artists werequick to protest. Graffiti covered governmentbuildings, and both street and fine artists quicklyformed an organization called the Assembly ofthe Artists of the Revolution of Oaxaca, or ASARO.Some participants created stencils and postersthat are still sold in Oaxaca’s main square; theyre-appear on the walls of the city whenever amarch is imminent.In the streets of modern Mexico, the stenciledimage has become a ubiquitous sight, and isnow a thriving form of popular art, used fornon-political purposes as well as for protest.Mexico: Stencil is the first international publica-tion on this subject. The product of 10 years ofresearch conducted throughout the country, itscontent benefits from commentary by theartists themselves, who contribute backgroundinformation and documentation for this proj-ect. Consistent with the spirit of its subject,however, this volume respects the anonymity ofthe many creators who figure in it, offeringinstead a vision of the streets as they might beobserved by any visually aware pedestrian incontemporary Mexico.

CEAUEdited by Christoph Büchel, Giovanni Carmine.In 1936, the youthful Nicolae Ceausescu wasimprisoned for anti-Fascist agitation inBucharest. Some 53 years later, he was tried andconvicted as a dictator, for genocide and the sab-otage of the Romanian economy. In that interval,Ceausescu had gone from street agitator toCommunist minister, president of the StateCouncil, President, and, ultimately author of apersonality cult that was to estrange him fromthe most basic needs of his people—leading tohis execution by firing squad in 1989. TheCeausescu following stemmed in part from aparticularly powerful personal narcissism thatrequired a great deal of iconic affirmation ofitself, and CEAU gathers a selection of the hun-dreds upon hundreds of portraits of Nicolae andElena Ceausescu that had either been commis-sioned by a variety of political bodies within theSocialist Republic of Romania or had beenoffered to the Ministry of Culture as a gift by theartists themselves. These portraits have beenpreserved in the storage vaults of the NationalMuseum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest andare now collected and published for the firsttime, with a transcription of the 1989 trial ofNicolae and Elena Ceausescu that brought anend to their rule.

As the subtitle, If Dogs EatBeuys, suggests, some of theseobjects are quite humble.Sometimes they are made by manu-facturers who happen to have thesame last name as the famousartist, but often they have simplybeen given these illustrious namesso that they will sell better—as withRembrandt toothpaste, which pre-sumably implies that your teeth willbe as brilliant as the seventeenth-century master’s paintings. On theserious side: these product namesare canny cultural hooks that sub-liminally play on our knowledge ofart in the name of commerce.

Harald SzeemannIndividual MethodologyEdited by Florence Derieux. Textby Harald Szeemann, Hal Foster,Jean-Marc Poinsot, Tobia Bezzola.We owe our idea of the contempo-rary exhibition to Harald Szeemann—the first of the jet-setting interna-tional curators. From 1961 to 1969, hewas Curator of the Kunsthalle Bern,where in 1968 he had the foresightto give Christo and Jeanne-Claudethe opportunity to wrap the entiremuseum building. Szeemann’sgroundbreaking 1969 exhibitionWhen Attitudes Become Form, also atthe Kunsthalle, introduced Europeanaudiences to artists like JosephBeuys, Eva Hesse, Richard Serra andLawrence Weiner. It also introducedthe now-commonplace practice ofcurating an exhibition around atheme. Since Szeemann’s death in2005, there has been researchunderway at his archive in Tessin,Switzerland. An invaluable resource,this volume provides access to previ-ously unpublished plans, documentsand photographs from the archive,along with important essays, aninterview, and case studies ofDocumenta V (1972) and L’Autre, the4th Lyon Biennial (1997). A biography,an illustrated chronology and aselection of Szeemann’s writingscomplete this exhaustive survey.

LosAngeles conceptual photographerJames Welling’s introduction cap-tures the spirit: “Downsbrough’swork is catalytic. It changes theplace surrounding it, while theobjects remain stable, unchanged.The 1960s were a revolutionary timefor sculpture. When I look at PeterDownsbrough’s new work today, Iam reminded of the openness foundin sculpture from that era. For sometime, I’ve been of the opinion thatsculpture encompasses all the othergenres of art making. Said differently:Almost anything could be sculpture.”

Cumulatively, they makeuse of psychology as a kind of lin-gua franca—we all know what thesymptoms of neurosis are, if not theparticular diagnoses. Beginningwith historical work by LouiseBourgeois, Mike Kelley, BruceNauman and Cindy Sherman andproceeding to more recent work byartists including Alex Bag, SophieCalle, Beth Campbell, Harry Dodgeand Stanya Kahn, Sarah Hobbs, SeanLanders, Cary Leibowitz, DaveMcKenzie, Tony Oursler, DanicaPhelps, William Pope.L, Ada Ruilova,Ward Shelley and David Shrigley,this exhibition catalogue encom-passes the range of media prevalenttoday: video art, installations, photo-graphs, paintings and drawings.

Half Square Half CrazyEdited by Éric Mangion. Text byLili Reynaud Dewar, ElisabethWetterwald, Vincent Pécoil.This provocative publicationexplores the re-examination and the redeployment of forms anddevices drawn from Minimal artby numerous contemporary artists.Taking into account their presentadoption by the culture and designindustries, the featured artistsupdate the inherent contradiction ofthe Neoavant-gardes of the 1960s—between their aspiration for theautonomy of art and the heterono-my of the means to achieve this.Looking back on the aporias of sucha historical heritage, the practicesdiscussed here start afresh, initiatea new game, which privileges accident rather than essence,“non-formalism” rather than formal resolution, and disfunctionalityrather than efficient rationality.

Cooling OutOn the Paradox of FeminismEdited by Sabine Schaschl-Cooper,Bettina Steinbrügge, René Zechlin.Text by Annie Fletcher, KatyDeepwell, Toril Moi.How can a political or social move-ment create so many positivechanges while simultaneouslydeveloping such negative connota-tions? Such is the central paradox ofFeminism for the editors of this book.The term “cooling out” was coined byUCLA’s Burton Clark to describe thepost-graduate period when a stu-dent’s interest in pursuing an aca-demic career suddenly dwindles. Theexhibition project gathered hereappropriated Clark’s phrase todescribe the disinterest of youngwomen toward the ideas and formsof Feminism, resulting from a lack ofpalpable aims on the one hand andthe acceptance of existing structureson the other. The exhibition exam-ined—through works by female andmale artists—the influences of themedia, education and existing socialstructures on the constitution ofgender identity. This volume goesfurther, gathering texts by KatyDeepwell, Sonja Eismann, AnnieFletcher, Andrea Geyer, Toril Moi andVera Tollmann, among others.

As newmedia is gaining not only streetcred, but real market shares, tradi-tional media outlets are increasinglylooking for a piece of the pie. Bynow, that is a well-worn critique.New media theorist EricKluitenberg, who has been on thescene since 1988, focuses on notonly keeping the utopian potentialof such public forums alive, but alsocritiquing the “delusions of thenew” that absorbed new media cul-ture in its nascency. Kluitnebergplaces his argument within thebroader histories of culture andtechnology with sections on alter-native histories of technology, thepolitics of media, ways to live in ournewly networked world and theproblem of employing artisticstrategies in a mechanized society.

Urban Politics NowRe-Imagining Democracy in the Neoliberal City.Reflect Series No. 6Text by Slavoj Zizek, Edward Soja,Juliet Flower MacCannell,Neil Smith, Dieter Lesage.In Urban Politics Now, theRotterdam-based “architect philoso-phers” Gideon Boie and MatthiasPauwels—otherwise known as TheBAVO Bureau for ArchitecturalTheory—issue a challenge to sociol-ogists, social geographers, philoso-phers, urban planners and archi-tects, asking, “What ails contempo-rary urban politics?” Boie andPauwels involve a few global heavy-hitters whose lengthy, hyphenatedtitles signal their engagement withmultiple disciplines, like Slovenian-born philosopher, sociologist andcultural theorist Slavoj Zizek—who,a few years ago, wrote someLacanian-style copy for anAbercrombie & Fitch catalogue toaccompany Bruce Weber’s mildlysalacious photographs—and NewYork’s Neil Smith, who trained as ageographer and now teaches urban,cultural and environmental anthro-pology at the CUNY GraduateCenter. Having stated as part oftheir mission that, “It is only by con-ceiving architecture as a symptomthat its potential to make a differ-ence in society can be assessedand/or enhanced,” BAVO asks here ifdemocratic urban politics are possi-ble in the contemporary climate.

Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las VegasEdited by Kristien Ring. Text by Nicole Huber, Ralf Stern.“Las Vegas is a city that displaces itself over and over again. It’s always aboutsomeplace else,” says Ralf Stern, Associate Professor of Architecture at theUniversity of Nevada at Las Vegas and co-author, with Nicole Huber,Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Washington, ofUrbanizing the Mojave Desert. Beyond the familiar Vegas mirage of flashingfacades and neon glare, a rarely seen proliferation of massive parking struc-tures, trailer parks and staging areas serving the central spectacle spiralsoutward into the desert. Trawling Sin City’s glamourless peripheries, Sternand Huber’s images document Vegas’ infrastructure (vehicular, water andwaste management) and the outer suburbs and fringe areas beyond, exca-vating the city’s “everyday life.” A good example of the contradictionsexposed in their research can be found in an image of the top of the Luxorhotel, with a big warehouse, a shopping cart, a tent and an old couch in theforeground. It conveys, according to Stern, “the spectacular, the functionaland transitory” all at once. Urbanizing the Mojave Desert concludes with anexploration of the abstract geometric forms that characterize much of thecity’s development and that serve to relate it, finally, to the degree ofabstraction found throughout the Nevada desert. “There is a real price thatis being paid in terms of places and spaces being created and places andspaces being destroyed,” Stern laments. “There doesn’t seem to be anybodytaking stock of anything.”

HavanaThe Sleeping BeautyEdited by Jochen Visscher. Photographs by Bodo Tuengler. Text byAlejandro G. Alonso.Havana in the 40s and 50s was a gambling haven, much like Las Vegas.Today this pre-revolutionary boom still characterizes the city, which is ablend of much-photographed, colorful, colonial buildings and a sprinkling ofinternationally renowned Modernist architecture: Walter Gropius, RichardNeutra and Oscar Niemeyer all passed through Havana during this time. In1956, The Edificio Focsa—a 35-storey complex containing 400 apartments,garages, a school and a restaurant—was built on the Corbusian principles ofa self-contained city within a city. At the time, it was the world’s tallest con-crete structure. Western influences set a standard, but the architects oftenworked with local artists to create a uniquely Cuban version of Modernism.For this volume, German-born photographer Bodo Tuengler has documentedthe rarely-seen architecture of Havana’s brief Modernist period.Forthcoming books in this accessible and affordable series include Tel Avivand Mexico City.

Christian Helmle:White ElephantsEssay by Konrad Tobler.In post-colonial Africa, “WhiteElephant” was the ironic monikergiven to buildings erected withinternational money and never putto use. They remain as blights—eroding reminders of enormouswaste. Europe has its own collectionof these contemporary ruins, suchas Santiago Calatrava’s practicallyunused railway station near Lyonand the partially completed AldoRossi shopping mall in Berlin. On hissearch for the remains of thesearchitectural wastelands, Swiss pho-tographer Christian Helmle discov-ered numerous other examplesthroughout Europe—in both urbanand rural locations. There is no connection between the barrenstructures and their communities,since they have never fulfilled theirintended function; nature hasclaimed them instead. In light oftheir instant obsolescence, thesesites have a surreal air—and a sense of melancholy—that Helmleheightens to great effect.

Between 2001 and 2006, theGerman photographer Ralf Meyercreated a collection of 130 photo-graphs, taken at 32 locations acrossthe country. The photographs werenot intended to be mere reproduc-tions of facades; instead, they weremeant to investigate how Germancitizens deal with the results of theoverwhelming historical architec-ture that surrounds them. Each oneof the buildings Meyer sought outwas constructed for an ideologicalpurpose: can these implicit mes-sages still be detected in the archi-tecture? What is life like in andaround these buildings, now that somuch has changed?

Beginning with a steamy,mist-filled island, roughly in theshape of Hong Kong, that was cov-ered in oyster shells and inhabitedby fake talking parrots, the workproblematized the act of represen-tation itself.

The intent is to positalternatives to the Just-in-Timemethod of production. In order toengage with these questions, thisvolume documents MAP Office’sfive-year survey of the Sun Hin fac-tory, which is one among thousandsin the Pearl River Delta. Under MAPOffice’s aegis, the factory evolvedinto a City of Production—a labora-tory that poses the challenge ofpositive capitalism; it has resulted inprovision of social benefits for SunHin’s workers. MAP Office has pre-sented this project at the SanFrancisco Art Institute, the TenthIstanbul Biennale and the SecondShenzhen Architecture Biennale.

And the team aims high:“Our spatial interventions con-tribute to a higher state of con-sciousness of the naked reality ofour modern, urban culture and envi-ronment, although not always byaccepting it as the only reality.” Their2006 proposal, “Discoforum” is char-acteristic. Noticing that Rotterdamclubs are divided by race, ZUS creat-ed a design that would place onetransparent wall in each club facingout onto a shared outdoor space.Such proposals and research arecombined with the duo’s own com-mentary in this volume, making itinvaluable for anyone curious aboutthe next wave of architecture andurban planning.

What emerges is avery focused glimpse at the spirit andsophistication of high-end SouthAfrican safari design.Luxurious and pioneering at once,these are dwellings that, while root-ed in African history, possess aninternational appeal that is begin-ning to influence aesthetic ideas theworld over. Emerging in the lastdecade and a half, the New Safaristyle is a product of two extremes,providing a creative, cultural synergythat is, in many ways, what contem-porary middle-class southern Africansociety is all about. Combining high-tech, high-end architecture with tra-ditional low-tech African craft, NewSafari fuses these diverse aestheticswith an original, soulful—evensexy—interior-design sensibility thatbrings texture, color, pattern andobjects together to create an excit-ing new blueprint for African style.

The resultsare buildings that integrate withtheir surroundings organically, butby borrowing the strong lines, boldcolors and generous use of spacefrom his great predecessors inMexican architecture, such as LuisBarragan (with whom de YturbeBernal studied) and Juan O’Gorman.De Yturbe Bernal founded De YturbeArquitectos in 1971, and since thenthe firm has completed nearly 200projects, including private residences,corporate buildings, banks, muse-ums, educational and cultural cen-ters, hotels, tourist developmentsand golf clubs—in Mexico, theUnited States, the south of India,Spain, Costa Rica, Nicaragua andArgentina. De Yturbe Arquitectos’designs promulgate a characteristicMexican formal boldness, in whichlarge cylinders and crisp rectanglesplay with sensuous curves.

Josef Paul KleihuesWorks 1966–1980Edited by Thorsten Scheer. Text byAndrea Mesecke, Thorsten Scheer,Josef Paul Kleihues.Josef Paul Kleihues (1933–2004) wasone of the most prolific architects ofpostwar Germany, famous both asthe Director of the InternationalBuilding Exhibition Berlin in 1987and for his design for the Museumof Contemporary Art in Chicago. Hewas also known for his sensitiveinterventions with older buildings,an instance of which is the formerHamburger Bahnhof—now theMuseum für Gegenwart—in Berlin,where Kleihues intermixed glasswalls and light installations by theAmerican Minimalist Dan Flavinwith the building’s original nine-teenth-century Neoclassical design.This first volume of a three-partmonograph presents projects up to1980, including the highly acclaimedBerlin Sanitation Department andthe Neukölln Hospital. Even in theseearly works, Kleihues’ practical, prob-lem-solving approach is already evi-dent, indicating his readiness toreflect on the traditional approach-es of Modern architecture and hiscapacity to expand them in interest-ing ways. This very generously illus-trated volume was designed byKleihues himself, just before hisdeath in 2004.

Álvaro Siza: BouçaResidents’ Association Housing,Porto 1972-77, 2005-06Edited and text by Brigitte Fleck,Wilfried Wang.From start to finish, it took theModernist Portuguese architectÁlvaro Siza, winner of the 1992Pritzker Prize and designer of TheSerpentine Gallery’s 2005 SummerPavilion, 33 years to constructthe Bouça Residents’ AssociationHousing in the northern city of Porto—which he realized in association with architect AntónioMadureira. During those years, Sizacompleted numerous importantcommissions, including the architec-ture faculty building at theUniversity of Porto in 1985 and theFundação Serralves museum of con-temporary art in that same city in1999. In 1988 he restored the Chiadodistrict of Lisbon, Spain, after a dev-astating fire; and his PortuguesePavilion for Lisbon’s EXPO 98 wasinternationally recognized. WhileSiza was busy with all of thesebuildings and plans, the first phaseof the Bouça project was falling everdeeper into disrepair, hampered bymunicipal neglect. It has since beenbrought up to Siza’s standards, andthis publication appraises the proj-ect, now happily completed. Siza’ssketches, many of which are pub-lished here for the first time, revealthe tenacity of his search for theright solution.

Jørn Utzon: TheArchitect’s UniverseEdited by Michael Holm, KjeldKjeldsen, Mette Marcus. Text byPoul Tøjner, Kenneth Frampton,Merte Ahnfeldt-Mollerup, RichardWeston, Joseph Skrzynski, PhilipNobis, Michael Asgaard Andersen,Hans Munk Hansen, FrançoiseFromonot, Rafael Moneo.Jørn Utzon is a Danish architect, yethe has become indelibly identifiedwith Sydney, Australia, because ofhis landmark design for the SydneyOpera House. This catalogue for thefirst major retrospective of his workshows the scope of a career that hasstretched almost 50 years, from hisown Hellebaek house (1952) to CanFeliz on Majorca (1994). The essenceof Utzon’s architecture is a fusion ofform and structure—or to put it dif-ferently, the structure is the archi-tecture. The sources of his inspira-tion come mainly from nature andfrom the visual universes of othercultures like that of the Mayas,which in Utzon’s reworking aretransformed into an integrated for-mal idiom that privileges harmonybetween detail and totality. Aninterview and numerous essays illuminate the career of the international master, awarded thePritzker Prize for 2003.

P. StruyckenText by Carel Blotkamp,Daniel Dekkers, Ruud Schenk,Jonneke Jobse.A computer-design pioneer knownfor his large-scale public projects, P.Struycken is one of the Netherlands’most innovative artists. In 1993, hewas commissioned to design thearcade lighting for Jo Coenen’sNetherlands Architecture Institute inRotterdam and the tile and colorscheme for Carel Weeber’s “DeStruyck” student apartments in theHague. Struycken also designed aniconic (and still circulating) Dutchpostage stamp in 1980, which bearsa computer-generated image ofQueen Beatrix, composed of hun-dreds of tiny, randomly colored dots.In explaining his choice, Struyckensays,“My use of dots in the represen-tation of the portrait is related to mydrawings and prints in which the dotis the smallest representation ofcolor, and in itself, yields the leastassociation with form.” This publica-tion is the most comprehensiveStruycken overview to date. It fea-tures illustrations of more than 80 ofhis most significant projects from1955 to the present. Included withthe volume is a CD ROM, whichallows us to experience Struycken’swork in 360-degree panoramas.

Peter Zumthor:Kunsthaus BregenzText by Friedrich AchleitnerandPeter Zumthor.The glass panels that cover themain building of Austria's renownedKunsthaus Bregenz look almost like“lightly ruffled feathers” accordingto the museum's designer, Swissarchitect Peter Zumthor. During theday, the building creates the impres-sion of a semi-transparent glassbody, while at night it becomes a100-foot-tall luminescent cube—a highly visible statement in light.Situated on the shores of LakeConstance, the Kunsthaus creates afocal point for the region, “a centrefor Bregenz where once there wasan inner-city wasteland,” accordingto esteemed Austrian architecturecritic Friedrich Achleitner. Originallypublished in 1994 and long out ofprint, this volume presentsZumthor’s spectacular project forthe Kunsthaus Bregenz.Peter Zumthor has taught atSouthern California Institute ofArchitecture in Los Angeles and theHarvard Graduate School of Design.

Conrad-Bercah is intimate with both;he was schooled at Harvard and hetrained in New York with I.M. Peiand Henry Cobb and in Milan withAldo Rossi and Ignazio Gardella.Here, projects from both sides ofthe Atlantic are represented withdrawings and explanatory texts.

Instead,we try to learn from the long tradi-tion of building without falling intohistoricism.” Of their numerous suc-cessful projects, the best known areDarmstadt’s State Theatre, the EVSCentral Administration in Stuttgartand the Salem International Collegein Überlingen.

Megacity NetworkContemporary KoreanArchitectureEdited by Sung Hong Kim,Peter Cachola Schmal.A megacity is a metropolitan areawith a population of 10 million ormore people—some definitions alsoinclude density in the equation,requiring more than 2,000 peopleper square kilometer. Seoul, Korea,more than qualifies: with 10.3 millionpeople living in an area smaller thanNew York City, it is one of the densesturban areas on the planet. This cre-ates tremendous pressure on archi-tects, who must figure out how tomake the most of every square inch;often they build vertically, but is thatthe only answer? Megacity Networkchallenges architectural stereotypesand promotes innovation with 32projects from the last 10 years by 16representative Korean architects. Bycreating hybrids of conventionalarchitectural typologies, these proj-ects—which range from traditionaltimber-structure houses to corporateheadquarters and sports arenas—meet the demands of Seoul’s eclecticurban landscape in their own uniqueway. Essays on Korea’s urban andarchitectural histories complete thebook, making it not only an impor-tant overview but the first to exam-ine the means by which Koreanarchitects are tackling one of themost difficult problems in the field.

The Museum of Modern ArtBook of CartoonsWhen The Museum of Modern Art first openedits doors on November 8, 1929—in less than5,000 square feet of rented office space in midtown Manhattan—it was considered a radical experiment. Who would have thoughtthat a museum devoted entirely to “outrageous”Modern art could be successful? But succeed it did, weathering both the stock-marketcrash of 1929 just a week later and a storm of controversy that did not dissuade the crowdsfrom going to see what all the fuss was about.Today, MoMA is one of the leading institutionsof its kind in the world, with an unrivaled collection of Modern and Contemporary art.Spanning the Museum’s entire history, thisdelightful book of 87 cartoons culled from the pages of the New Yorker magazine is anenjoyable and witty celebration of the Museumand the lively public debate it has often inspired.

Lyon Biennial00s—The History of a Decade That Has Not Yet Been NamedEdited by Hans Ulrich Obrist, StéphanieMoisdon. Text by Okwui Enwezor, MichelHouellebecq, Paul Veyne, Ralph Rugoff.The curators of the ninth Lyon Biennialapproached the task of mapping the moment incontemporary art playfully: by commissioning apolyphonic history and geography book. With 70“players” from around the world, the “game” ofhow to define the decade unfolded via a seriesof delegations, invitations and programs inwhich artists proposed their responses and crit-ics and curators sequenced and challengedthem, in turn suggesting artists of their own. Re-framing the unfolding present from within, cre-atively rethinking the role of the artist as well asthat of serious play, and reconsidering the now-ubiquitous and decreasingly authoritative bien-nial exhibition, these myriad voices, framed byonly a few rules, became participants in an exer-cise in collective self-determination. This lavishlyillustrated publication, designed by therenowned Parisian firm M/M and edited byBiennial curators Hans Ulrich Obrist andStéphanie Moisdon, includes previously unpub-lished essays by Michel Houellebecq, OkwuiEnwezor and Ralph Rugoff, and functions as amanual for “a decade yet to be named. . . a pres-ent that is endlessly arriving.”

Cabinet 29: SlothEdited by Sina Najafi.One of the seven deadly sins, slothhas long been reviled in theChristian world. But as capitalismappropriated the Christian traditionof work and recast it as the ethicalimperative of its own secular newworld order, laziness was revaluatedby philosophers, writers and artistsas a means of resisting the preva-lent social order and its gospel ofprofit-driven hard work.Cabinet 29examines this history through avariety of essays, interviews andartist projects, including Brian Dillonon writing, illness and procrastina-tion; Thomas Zummer on thefourth-century priest who cast slothas one of the seven deadly sins;Marina van Zuylen on modernfatigue; Daniel Rosenberg on nine-teenth-century children’s books andthe pedagogy of time management;Christopher Turner on vasectomiesand other medical cures for sloth;and artist Mladen Stilinovic’s mani-festo for laziness.

Paul McCarthy:InflatablesThis volume presents the first com-prehensive survey of PaulMcCarthy’s large-scale inflatablesculptures. McCarthy, born in 1945 inSalt Lake City and based in the LosAngeles area, where he taught atUCLA for many years, first came topublic notice in the 1970s with hisshockingly scatological and strange-ly hypnotic performances andvideos; he’s now a veteran of soloexhibits at Tate Modern and TheMuseum of Modern Art, New York,among many other world-classinstitutions of art. Since the mid-1980s, he has been creating increas-ingly complex and influential instal-lations and videos, as well as abroad portfolio of sculptures andlarge-scale, outdoor blow-up figures.This volume—which contains 15giant posters housed in a shoppingbag, 12 notebooks and a text book-let—illustrates every McCarthyinflatable to date, including impor-tant pieces such as “DaddiesKetchup Bottle” (2003) and a signifi-cant number of newly commis-sioned works.

Atlas of Contemporary Art forUse by EveryoneText by Denis Gielen, Laurent Busine.In the form of a geographic atlas, this volume ini-tiates dialogue between art and other disciplinessuch as the sciences, sociology and politics. Fourhundred pages of color images drawn from art,architecture and film are annotated with histori-cal, thematic and iconographic information and amosaic of texts formed from quotes by artists,scientists and intellectuals, as well as encyclope-dic entries, art reviews and short biographies. Anentry on “The Bizarre,” for example, is illustratedwith works by Paul McCarthy and Jake and DinosChapman. One of the goals of any atlas is to sur-vey the world in order to better explore it—see-ing and naming a phenomenon in the world isjust as imperative as seeking to define the mean-ing of that phenomenon.

General Idea: FILE MegazineEdited by Beatrix Ruf.“An alternative to the Alternative Press,” leg-endary Toronto collaborative General Idea’s FILEMegazine—published from 1972 to 1989—iscompiled, at long last, in this important five-vol-ume, boxed set edition. General Idea consisted ofAA Bronson—now the Executive Director of NewYork’s Printed Matter—Jorge Zontal and FelixPartz, who both died of AIDS-related illnesses in1994. The trio cheekily appropriated FILE’s nameand logo from LIFE magazine, and it quicklygained a reputation far beyond its Toronto under-ground roots. It was subversive to the core, pilfer-ing freely from mainstream media and culture,while maintaining close attention to designissues and the use of experimental layouts. Threedecades later, this compilation reveals FILE’s influ-ence on both underground and mainstream pub-lications. As critic and artist Peter Gallo has writ-ten, FILE “anticipated many queercore and punkzines of the later 70s and 80s. . . as well as morerecent mass-media interventions, such as thewidely distributed, anti-globalist Vancouver-based publication Adbusters.”

Louise BourgeoisEdited by Lionel Bovier,Hans Ulrich Obrist.“My goal is to re-experience a past emotion. . . to relive anxiety. . .anxiety is a passive state, and theobject is to be active and take control,” states the venerable LouiseBourgeois about her practice, whichhas spanned more than 60 yearsand a variety of medias. This beauti-fully produced, limited-edition bookis a rare glimpse at over 40 of Bourgeois’ works, mostly draw-ings from a private Swiss collection,which are richly reproduced and juxtaposed with excerpts from herjournal. The diary entries highlightBourgeois’ method of mining herpast as part of her practice, but thework itself draws heavily from animpressive breadth of historical and contemporary art. Published to coincide with retrospectives atthe Guggenheim Museum in NewYork and London’s Tate Modern.

Lee Bontecou:Vacuum-FormedSculptures and Related DrawingsText by Elisabeth Sussman.In her essay for this concise new catalogue of Lee Bontecou’s earlytransparent vacuum-formed fish and flora sculptures and associatedworks on paper, art historianElisabeth Sussman writes, “From astandpoint 40 years later, as sculp-tors everywhere seek to marry form,expression, observation, social con-text and modern materials in singleobjects and in groups of objects, orinstallations; when making materialsfunction in individual, idiosyncratic,expressive ways is a mark of distinc-tion; Bontecou’s fish and plants ofthe late 1960s and early 1970s nowappear highly prophetic.” Bontecou’searly summers in Nova Scotiaimbued her with a lifelong fascina-tion with nature and the sea. In the 1960s, after many years in NewYork, she began to spend part ofeach year in the mountains of ruralPennsylvania, where she immersedherself in an evocative inner world of natural forms. Using a vacuum-forming machine invented by anartist friend, Bontecou created thehaunting, lightweight translucentsculptures gathered here.

Hans Arp: Die Natur der DingeEdited by Klaus Gallwitz.Text by Astrid von Asten,Isabel Ewig, Walburga Krupp,Eric Robertson, Fritz Usinger.German-French sculptor, painter and poet Hans Arp (1886–1966) isone of the pioneers of twentieth-century non-figurative art. A founderof the Zurich and Cologne Dadamovements, a key Surrealist andConstructivist and later a founder ofthe Paris Abstraction-Création move-ment, he was always at the forefrontof his era’s evolving avant-gardes.His work was by turns powerful,organic, anthropomorphic, biomor-phic, geometric, coincidental and for-mal, evoking “the natural process ofcompression, hardening, of coagula-tion, of thickening, of growingtogether.” In general, Arp preferrednot to talk about his abstractions,citing the fact that sculptural formsin nature do not illustrate, but ratherparaphrase and produce concreteforms themselves. He did not wantto work according to nature, butlike nature. This volume, which docu-ments the complete range of Arp’sartistic and poetic oeuvre, is publishedupon the opening of Germany’s ArpMuseum extension, designed by thePritzker Prize winning New Yorkarchitect Richard Meier.

Anni & Josef AlbersLatin American JourneysEdited by Brenda Danilowitz,Heinz Liesbrock. Text by BrendaDanilowitz, Jenny Anger, KikiGilderhus, et al.Josef Albers (1888–1976) was a high-ly influential painter, color theoristand teacher—a monumental figurein international postwar art andaesthetics; his wife and artisticequal, Anni Albers (1899–1994), cre-ated important textile artworks aswell as spare and abstract paintingsand drawings. Together, their artisticroots can be traced to the time theyshared at the Bauhaus in Germanyin the 1920s and early 1930s. Afterimmigrating to the United States in1933, the couple traveled regularly toMexico and South America to studythe art, architecture and textiledesigns of pre-Columbian cultures.Featuring previously unseen letters,manuscripts and photographs bythe artists, as well as lush colorplates of their artworks, this cata-logue is the first to document theinfluence of Central and SouthAmerica on the Albers’ work. It alsomakes the case that their art, as weknow it today, cannot be under-stood without acknowledging theirpivotal encounters in Latin America.

Raoul De Keyser:Retour 1964–2006Edited by Paul Van Calster.Text by Steven Jacobs.This substantial new volume offersa broad, representative picture ofthe oeuvre of the important Belgianpainter Raoul De Keyser, who beganhis artistic career in the mid-1960sbut did not gather internationalrecognition for his abstract canvasesuntil the late-80s. Consequently,much of his early work was neverdocumented. For this volume,author Steven Jacobs spent yearscharting the early work, tracking itdown and having it photographed.More than two-thirds of De Keyser’spreviously unseen work is docu-mented here for the first time,alongside the artist’s most impor-tant works and many canvasesmade since 2000. De Keyser is repre-sented in New York by David Zwirnergallery. Of his 2004 exhibition there,Artforum’s Michael Wilson wrote:“De Keyser remains contemporary inhis concentration on the fragmen-tary and the left-behind, in hisimplicit acknowledgment of theimpossibility of permanence orcompletion. His palette is timely too, often sharing celebrated countryman Luc Tuymans’ dustygreens, pinks and creams.”

Konrad Klapheck:PaintingsText by Konrad Klapheck.Interview by Christopher Williams.This long-overdue first English-language monograph brings together an astonishing group ofpaintings that span the course ofGerman painter Konrad Klapheck’ssix-decade-long career—from hispainterly investigations of techno-logical machines and everydayobjects such as typewriters, sewingmachines and ventilators to hismore recent figurative work.Klapheck’s early paintings employsubtle anthropomorphization andare charged with psychological,social and political meaning. A telephone, for example, takes on a playful, eroticized quality in onecanvas, while a typewriter becomes a menacing object evocative of brutepower in another. An artist’s artist,Klapheck has never painted accord-ing to fashions dictated by the artworld; he is a painter guided by hisown obsessions. However, in theirsurprising combination of deadpandepiction and evocative playfulness,Klapheck’s canvases forge an impor-tant link in twentieth-century art,melding elements from Surrealismand Pop art with a singular painterlysensibility.

Al TaylorAl Taylor, who died in 1999 at theage of 51, was inspired by literallywhatever was around—from a dogstain on a Paris street to aStyrofoam float washed up on aHawaiian beach. He saw abstractforms in quotidian detritus, creatinga complex and humorous body ofwork consisting of paintings, draw-ings and sculpture, which he called“constructions.” His use of simplematerials like hot rolled steel, wire,Xerox toner and correction fluid wasa perfect match for such subjectmatter. Approaching this three-dimensional work with the samebalance of intensity and whimsywith which he made his drawings,Taylor willfully dismissed any dis-tinction between the two medias. Infact, he thought of his constructionsas spatial drawings with a multi-tude of views. This fully illustratedmonograph, which includes anextensive overview of Taylor’s oeu-vre, is published concurrently withan exhibition at Zwirner & Wirth,New York.

Theyhave recreated hospitals and prisoncells, and have reconfigured galleryspaces to spatially deter theirwould-be audience. “Our aim is toinvestigate some of the powerstructures that these spaces derivefrom, and by exchanging andreplacing some of these structures,show how fragile they actually are.”This monograph is the first exten-sive survey of their work to date.

Hans Schabus:Deserted ConquestEdited by Katia Zavitovski, JoanneLefrak. Text by Laura Heon.Renowned for disrupting and recon-figuring space in unexpected ways,Austrian artist Hans Schabus, bornin 1970, produces site-specific instal-lations that use spatial displace-ment to debunk cultural symbols.For his first solo museum exhibitionin the United States, Schabus madeDeserted Conquest, a 15,000-square-foot installation commissioned bySITE Santa Fe, 2007. Taking the NewMexico landscape as his subject, hecreated a series of confrontationsthat dismantle our cultural romanti-cism of the desert landscape andidealizations of “the West.” This con-sisted of two new videos, sculptures,drawings and a variety of foundobjects, including a partially recon-structed mobile home and morethan 100 tons of dirt. Viewers wereencouraged to navigate the terrainfreely, their tracks transforming thespace over time. As a further conceitorchestrated by the artist, the cata-logue’s full-color images are pho-tographed along cardinal lines, lend-ing the reader a fresh perspective onthe original exhibit.

Olafur Eliasson &David Adjaye: YourBlack HorizonArt PavillonEdited by Eva Ebersberger. Text byDaniela Zyman, Daniel Birnbaum.Olafur Eliasson, one of today’s mostacclaimed contemporary artists, andDavid Adjaye, a rising architecturestar, have engaged in a unique collaboration. Eliasson’s lightinstallation “Your Black Horizon,”which debuted at the 2005 VeniceBiennale, was conceived from thestart as a hybridization of both oftheir practices. The piece consists ofa light, representing a horizon line,that emanates through a narrowgap in an architectural structure.This is the only light source, and itruns around the entire dark galleryspace, without any visual obstruc-tion. The optical illusion that isachieved is that of a reversed hori-zon line. This publication is present-ed in conjunction with the installa-tion of this project in Croatia.Critic and curator Daniel Birnbaum,writer Eva Ebersberger and curatorDaniela Zyman contribute in-depth essays, which are accompanied bylarge-scale spreads of the project.

The Absence of MarkMandersEdited by Stephan Berg, SolveigØvstebo, Philippe Van Cauteren,Mirjam Varadinis. Text by StephanBerg, Douglas Fogle, MarkManders, Mirjam Varadinis.Dutch artist Mark Manders, born in1968, has been devising sculpturalinstallations since the late 1980s andexhibiting them as a fragmentedself-portrait in the form of imaginaryrooms. A veteran of solo exhibitionsat such respected American venuesas The Drawing Center in New York,the Berkeley Art Museum and TheArt Institute of Chicago, he hasestablished himself as one of themost distinctive and independentartists on today’s international sculpture scene. Beginning with theexemplary piece “Self-Portrait as aBuilding,” created in 1986, Manders’entire oeuvre can be understood as alarge-scale attempt to translate hisown existence and development intowordless, associative memory spaces.Chimneys, brick walls, oversizedmodel rats, tables, chairs, newspapersand a plethora of small, personalobjects are tweaked in scale andamassed as “still lives with brokenmoments.”This is the most signifi-cant appraisal of his work to date.

Georg Baselitz &Benjamin Katz: TheDirection Is RightEdited by Detlev Gretenkort.Postwar East German Neoexpress-ionist Georg Baselitz and Belgianphotographer Benjamin Katz havebeen close friends and artistic col-leagues for close to five decades.Over the past two years, Baselitz has engaged in a reworking of hisearly paintings—using a moredirect style, a lighter and quickermanner, in large formats. In this vol-ume, Baselitz’s new works are juxta-posed with photographs by Katz,who has taken hundreds of por-traits of the artist and his workingenvironment over the past half cen-tury. In fact, it was Katz who, in1963, organized Baselitz’s first soloexhibition in the newly foundedBerliner Galerie together withMichael Werner. This legendaryexhibition caused a scandal andmade the artist famous overnight.

Georg Baselitz:WatercolorsFrom the Remix SeriesGerman painter Georg Baselitzemerged in the 1960s and quicklydistinguishing himself as one of thepreeminent artists of the postwarera. Almost 50 years later, we nowknow his upside-down imagery sowell that it is almost superfluous to mention it; yet its function stillresonates, allowing us to see thepainting beyond its content, inessence, to free seeing from think-ing. In this volume of works onpaper from Baselitz’s Remix series,the artist trades in his heavilyapplied oil paints for a suite ofvibrant watercolors graced by indiaink to revisit the iconic themes andmotifs from his work of the 60s, 70sand 80s. In music, to “remix” is torepeat or to copy in some way; here,to remix is to add through imitationor a retelling. The remixed work is purposefully self-reflexive andpushes at the boundaries ofBaselitz’s practice as a painter.

Mario Merz: DisegniEdited by Dieter Schwarz.Text by Lara Conte, Claire Gilman.This first volume dedicated entirelyto the drawings of Mario Merz, oneof the best-known and most influ-ential artists of the Italian ArtePovera movement of the 1960s and70s, contains reproductions of 300drawings made from 1954 until thetime of the artist’s death in 2003—many of which have never beenpublished before. For Merz, drawingwas an essential medium, at homeand on his travels, not only becauseit was so portable and simple interms of materials but because itallowed him to convey his mentaland physical encounters “seismo-graphically”—from singing birds tofalling leaves to the noise ofoncoming traffic. In his words, “Allthese things entered into the draw-ing, without directly entering it, butthey entered into it as time, in theact of registration, as though thepencil were the tip of one of thoseinstruments that record things onsheets of paper.” This essential col-lection contains drawings from theObjet cache-toi (Object, HideYourself) series; images of tables,cups and groups from the Gardenof the Owls series, the Flying FlowerSeeds and the Sydney Drawings; andlarge works depicting prehistoric“terrible animals.”

Jannis KounellisText by Angela Schneider, MarcScheps.In 1969, Greek-born Jannis Kounellisfamously exhibited 11 live horses atRome’s Galleria l’Attico. Kounellis,who has been living in Rome sincethe beginning of his career, is a pio-neer of the Arte Povera movement,which originated in Italy in the mid-60s and is characterized byantiestablishment media (like streettheater) and antielitist materials(like rope, rocks and discardedmetal). Kounellis preferred dirt, fire,gold, burlap sacks, smoke and coffeegrounds—to name a few of the substances that gradually appearedin his sculptures and installations.In 2002, Kounellis created his mas-terwork, “Labyrinth,” a monumentalinstallation composed of 143 eight-foot-tall vertical iron panels sur-rounded by a layer of coal. Viewerscan walk through to encounter tracesof Kounellis’ past pieces: burlap sacks,an iron cot, coffee grounds. Like atrip through “Labyrinth,” this com-prehensive monograph contributesrichly to the understanding ofKounellis’ influential 40-year career.

Kelley WalkerEdited by Yves Aupetitallot, AnnePontegnie. Text by Bob Nickas,Scott Rothkopf, Anne Pontegnie.New York-based artist Kelley Walkerhacks advertising and displays itsinner workings as art. His large-scale prints appropriate iconic cul-tural images, digitally altering themto expose their underlying agendas.In “Black Star Press: Black Star, StarPress Star” (2004), Walker combinednondigital collage processes to ref-erence abstract painting: Hesmeared newspaper photos of theBirmingham race riots with meltedchocolate and toothpaste, scannedthem into a computer and madephotographic prints from theresults. Such hybridized work is nei-ther quite post-Pop nor just appro-priation. In the past few years,Walker has emerged as one of themost innovative and rigorous youngartists in New York and has becomemuch in demand not only for hissolo work but for his collaborationswith fellow New Yorker WadeGuyton. This monograph is a valu-able introduction to Walker’s techni-cal processes, and essays by maver-ick critic and curator Bob Nickas andwriter Scott Rothkopf lend muchinsight into his practice.

John Bock: MaltreatedFrigateThis sophisticated artist’s book,with custom-cut cover and partiallyexposed binding, documents JohnBock’s 2006 action, MaltreatedFrigate—the height as well as theculmination of this rising Germanartist’s performative work. Here,Bock’s vision comes to life in a multitude of color illustrations composed and collaged by theartist. The libretto, printed in itsentirety, explodes in linguistic fireworks and tumbles down theprinted page, solid in its earthinessand ready to be constructed into a jumble of bizarre and whimsicalneologisms—vivid testimony to theartist’s zest for expression.“Maltreated Frigate” was performedas a spectacle in 10 scenes, a colli-sion course of rock opera, Theater ofthe Absurd, animated sculpture andpuppet show. This raucous volumeinvites the reader to accompany theartist and his protagonists alongtheir tour-de-force, stream-of-con-sciousness action. It is a violentride on a machine from hell, steeredby an idiosyncratic inner logic.

Josh Smith &Christopher Wool:Can Your Monkey Do the DogThis book is the result of a collabo-ration between the artistsChristopher Wool and Josh Smith.Their method is reminiscent ofmusical improvisation: to start, oneof them proposes an image from hisown body of work. From this basicpicture, the other generates anotherimage by re-working it through digi-tal programs like Photoshop. Thus,new images made with “fourhands” are created. The book is sim-ply designed, with no texts, justblack-and-white abstraction afterabstraction. Here, the reproductionof the art image is just as importantas the work of art. In other words,one can see pixels, blurred brush-strokes, the glare of a flashbulbreflecting off oil paint or a smudgedXerox effect. It’s all part of thework—rather than highlighting theprocess of painting, the artists arehighlighting the process of repro-duction itself.

Carsten Nicolai: StaticFadesEdited by Dorothea Strauss.Text by Christoph Doswald,Klaus Ottmann, Britta Schröder,Dorothea Strauss.Berlin-based artist and musicianCarsten Nicolai, born in 1965, is oneof very few contemporary artistswho convincingly work in the con-flict zone between art, science andsound. Equally respected in the artworld and the electronic music com-munity, his works lay open the func-tional principles of codification, self-organization and perception so thatthe hand of the artist recedes andthe classical notion of an oeuvre isput into question. Drawing onsounds available in our everydayenvironment, Nicolai creates sound-scapes and installations redolentwith clicks and blips from tele-phones, faxes and other technologi-cal detritus: he creates an elemen-tary, universal language that eludesrationality, requesting instead tosimply be perceived by the individ-ual. This survey spans from Nicolai’swell-known 1997 Documenta X proj-ect, “Infinity”—in which 72 shortaudio works were discretely embed-ded throughout Kassel’s publicspaces—to new pieces produced fora recent solo exhibition at Zurich’sHaus Konstruktiv.

Rachel Harrison:If I Did ItEdited by Heike Munder.Text by Ellen Seifermann,John Kelsey, Heike Munde.“The Honey Collector” (2002), byNew York sculptor Rachel Harrison,is a grayish-purple monolith thatholds an eclectic selection ofsqueeze-bottle honey bears on itsfront and a flier for a “reliable cat-sitter,” which helpfully includes tear-off phone-number tabs, on its back.Harrison has made her career withthese Minimalist-inspired works—which she updates with all mannerof found elements besides honeybears, like Calvin Klein underwearpackaging and photos of theteenage pop supergroup Hanson. Ina very tantalizing way, she takes theair out of the serious formalist lega-cy that inspires her sculptural formsby forcing them to do double dutyas mounts for such kitschy ready-mades. Harrison’s newest work is agarish mélange of colors andincludes even more unlikely every-day elements, such as cannedArnold Palmer tea, a hypodermicneedle and a thermostat. This highlyanticipated monograph includes atext by writer and artist John Kelsey.

Shirana Shahbazi:MeanwhileText by Gianni Jetzer, AliSubotnick, Kate Bush.In a New York Times review, RobertaSmith wrote that Shirana Shahbazi“treats her photographs like wordsthat can be used in different sen-tences or translated into entirely dif-ferent languages.” Shahbazi—whowon the London Citibank Prize in2002 and participated in the 2005Venice Biennale—was born inTehran in 1974, moved to Germanyas a child and is currently based inZurich. Her work reflects the refer-ences she has absorbed from bothIranian and European cultures.Trained as a photographer, Shahbazishoots eclectically—portraits, stilllifes, landscapes. These photographsare then often used as source mate-rial for paintings, billboards and tra-ditional Iranian carpets. By alteringthe scale of the photographs, trans-posing the imagery into a newmedium and blending cultures, shesubverts viewers’ expectationsabout the relationship between anartist’s identity and her work.Lavishly illustrated, this monographincludes essays by Kate Bush, AliSubotnick and Gianni Jetzer.

In Burkhart’s work,Taylor’s multiple personae—actress,vixen, Hollywood royalty, serial wifeand divorcée, party girl, charitablehumanitarian, entrepreneur, rebel,dominant woman—together form a media-based mirror of contempo-rary female identity. Derived fromtabloid and paparazzi shots, filmstills and publicity photos and oftenemblazoned with highly chargedexpressions of profanity, the paint-ings portray the actress as a two-dimensional doppelgänger for theartist herself—caught in the actof reclaiming female sexuality andpower. This comprehensive volume,arranged in chronological order,presents Burkhart’s series-in-progressat its 25-year mark. Consistentlyintense and obsessively focused, it isa relentlessly powerful experience.

John Wesley: TheBumsteadsText by Robert Hobbs.Over the course of the past 40 years,painter John Wesley has created aremarkably singular body of workwhose subject is no less than theAmerican psyche. While many artistsof his generation have used popularimages to explore the cultural land-scape, Wesley has employed comic-strip style and compositional rigor tomake deeply personal, often hermeticpaintings that strike at the core ofour most primal fears, joys anddesires. In this first volume ever tocollect the entire iconic Bumsteadseries, which spans from 1974 untilthe present, we are introduced toseveral paintings that have neverbeen reproduced before. These aredark and erotic works, sly and wittywithout ever giving too much away.Linda Norden described them thus inParkett 62:“The Bumstead paint-ings—whether detailing scenes ofdomestic misunderstanding, zoom-ing in on off-camera moments ofbafflement or simply scanning emptyhalls and walls for private memo-ries—are excruciatingly specific rep-resentations of the gulfs betweenfeeling and comprehension. . . smart,funny, startling, irreverently empa-thetic and often heartbreaking, theyare a welcome antidote to more labo-rious discourse.”With an insightfulnew essay by Robert Hobbs.

Dan McCarthyIntroduction by Jack Pierson.Text by Nick Stillman.Contributions by Michael Nevin.Brooklyn-based painter DanMcCarthy, who was born inHonolulu in 1962, has received plenty of critical attention for hisrecent canvases—thinly painted,almost gouachy, two-dimensionalcompositions that feature surferson rainbow-covered waves, bikinigirls on skateboards, scuba diverssubmerged in darkly undulatingwaters, longhairs, sports fishermanand other weird utopias. Nudes andnature scenes abound. Ken Johnsonof The New York Times assessedMcCarthy’s “dreamy, goofy andnaughty imagery” as both “intrigu-ing and amusing,” while Art inAmerica’s Sarah Valdez findsMcCarthy’s quasi-Catholic refer-ences “less spiritual than surrealis-tic.” Some may see shades of EdvardMunch, while others will hear thestrains of Brian Wilson on his betterdays. This volume is the first retro-spective monograph to date, pre-sented by McCarthy’s New Yorkgallery, Anton Kern, and Brooklyn-based publisher The Journal Books.

Tom McGrath:Paintings 2002–2007Text by Robert Hobbs,Kevin Zucker.This first comprehensive mono-graph on the young New Yorkpainter Tom McGrath, whomArtforum called “a painter’s painterbrimming with the desire to pushoil paint to the limit of its descrip-tive potential,” features a thoroughanalysis of his work by the noted art historian Robert Hobbs, in whichHobbs details McGrath’s rethinkingof traditional landscape painting.McGrath does not idealize the pas-toral landscape, which is misalignedwith present attitudes toward landuse. Instead, he takes a far moreobjective look at the values suchlandscape invokes. McGrath acceptschanges and ameliorates damage,setting the stage of the contempo-rary pastoral landscape so that itscracks and fissures are not only represented but are among its keydistinguishing features. In additionto focusing on the changing land-scape, McGrath’s work reflects on the role of cars and highways inrecent American culture—a subjectthat is further explored here in aselection of personal driving anec-dotes by McGrath’s contemporary,the artist Kevin Zucker.

Tal R’s painting is fundamentally borne up by a collage principle where the narrativeis increasingly subsumed in certainabstract ground rules. With splash-ing brush and slapdash layering,he paints gleefully in impossiblematerials, with undisguised clashesand references in the content.This monographic exhibition catalogue says something withpainting, not about painting.

Tim EitelModernist urban architecture, culti-vated landscapes and large expans-es of sky are the principle elementsin Berlin- and New York-based TimEitel’s paintings. Individual figuresor groups in which each member isnonetheless isolated populate thesebackgrounds. “Öffnung” (2006), forexample, shows a huddle of school-boys in uniform lounging in a nondescript Modernist interior,physically close but not interacting.Eitel, who studied at the venerableArt Academy of Leipzig in the early1990s, has become one of the mostsuccessful painters of the NewLeipzig School. Carrying a camerawherever he goes, Eitel takes snapshots and paints from them.In the past few years, his time in Los Angeles and New York has greatly influenced the architecturalelements of his work. This volume is published in conjunction withexhibitions at ARKEN Museum ofModern Art in Copenhagen, Berlin’sGalerie EIGEN+ART and KunsthalleTübingen.

David SchnellHoverText by Dieter Daniels, Cheryl D.Hartup, Bettina Ruhrberg.Leipzig-based David Schnell, whostudied at the Art Academy ofLeipzig, creates paintings thatunsettle our sense of perceptionwith their odd use of perspectiveand irrational architectural ele-ments. In “Hochbahn” (2001), a highway overpass stretches above a scenic marsh with trees in the distance. The overpass comes, seem-ingly out of the canvas, straight atus—only to break apart unexpect-edly before reaching its vanishingpoint. Schnell, with his reliance on foreshortening and his attentionto detail in the landscapes that formhis backgrounds, blends traditionalarchitectural drafting techniqueswith more realistic classical paintingaesthetics. As this monographreveals, his works hinge on the use of central perspective, which isprominent in Renaissance art andwhich causes the horizon to becomethe most important element in the painting, both in terms of com-position and content.

Matthias WeischerDrawingsText by Wolfgang Holler.The works that have brought Leipzigpainter Matthias Weischer interna-tional recognition depict interiors—often sparsely furnished and unpop-ulated rooms—in which decorativeelements and tweaked perspectivesunsettle our perceptions of spaceand skew the viewer’s capacity toorient. Weischer’s drawings repre-sent a second and stylistically quiteindependent strand of his work,being more crudely executed andless exacting in their surfaces. Thegenres do overlap at times: occa-sionally the drawings will pick up onideas previously realized in paintingsor will allude to visual elements thatcan later be traced in the paintedworks. This first catalogue ofWeischer’s drawings is presented ina generous, oversized publication,the apparently disorganized feel ofwhich lends the volume the intima-cy and rough energy of an artist’ssketchbook. Born 1973 in Rheine,Germany, Weischer is often groupedwith Neo Rauch as one of the mostimportant painters of the NewLeipzig School.

However, what atfirst glance seem to be clichédscenes of naturalistic mountains,forests and ravines, often populatedby a single, pensive, isolated femalefigure, come together with ele-ments from other historical andcultural contexts—comics, architec-ture, lyric abstraction, Japanesewoodcuts, Disney animation andEast German graphic design—sothat the paintings feel entirely con-temporary. This first comprehensivemonograph features an informativeinterview with the artist, criticalessays on her work and a wealth ofvivid color plates depicting worksfrom 2003 until today.

Hans-Peter Feldmann:Buch/Book No. 9Text by Inka Schube, Martin Clark,Martin Hochleitner.Düsseldorf-based Hans-PeterFeldmann is a passionate collectorof images and stories, an originalthinker and one of the first concep-tual artists. This is Feldmann’s mostpersonal book, a racy parcoursthrough images before and behindthe retina: clouds and strawberries,women in graceful poses, pants thatdon’t fit, the longing of retired civilservants, flying people, Christmasdecorations, soccer images, collec-tions of countrycode plates andmuch more. These images are atonce common, strange, smart, stu-pid and human. Of his focus on the“poetic moments of the ordinary,” a2003 review in Artforum said, “It isprecisely this continual, ever-expanding reflection on and skepti-cism about the various functionsand values of images, their truthcontent and modes of employment,that make Feldmann’s work nowseem seminal. And his relevance tocontemporary art practice derivesnot least from his acknowledgmentof the arbitrary relationshipbetween signifier and signified, themoments of displacement and pro-jection inherent in every form ofrepresentation.”

Piotr UklanskiThe Joy of PhotographyText by Geoffrey Batchen,Patrick Javault.Piotr Uklanski’s The Joy ofPhotography series is named after aKodak handbook for amateur pho-tographers that has equipped gen-erations of enthusiasts with thetechniques necessary in their questfor the perfect shot. However, in theage of the digital camera, the prac-tices advocated in the Kodak manu-al are now rarely deployed. “The guywho buys a special filter in order tobetter photograph the sunset hasdisappeared,” laments Uklanski. Forthis project, adopting this near-obsolete manual as a guide,Uklanski set out on a hunt toredeem its ideas and its perspec-tives. Exceptionally colorful andcoolly artistic, the 50 photographscollected in this book flirt withabstraction, frequently eluding easycomprehension. This volume is thefirst complete presentation ofUklanski’s nostalgic homage.The New York-based conceptualartist Piotr Uklanski was born inWarsaw, Poland, in 1968. He has had solo exhibitions at GavinBrown’s Enterprise and at TheMuseum of Modern Art’s projectspace in New York.

The imagesspeak for themselves. Coming frompublic sources, the pictures aregrouped on each page formally, con-ceptually and intuitively, so that, forexample, on a given page one mightfind a grainy black-and-white photo-graph of a pile of sausages in abutcher’s window next to a saturat-ed color image of a boxer’s punch-ing bag.

Bertozzi & Casoni: LeBugie Dell’ArteEdited by Marco Senaldi. Text byFranco Bertoni, Tiziano Scarpa,Daniele Sorrentino.In 1980, Italian-born duo GiampaioloBertozzi and Stefano Dal MonteCasoni teamed up to form theBertozzi & Casoni company, makingceramics with a twist. After attend-ing the esteemed Istituto d’Arte per la Ceramica in Faenza, theybroke the mold, enlivening the staidmedium with a conceptual edge,wry humor and a dose of art history.Their greatest hits include realistic,full-sized versions of classics likeWarhol’s “Brillo Box” and Manzoni’s“Artist’s Shit.” Not content with just remaking this “cultural trash,”they also replicate beautiful, DanielSpoerri-esque tableaux featuringcafeteria-tray remains and garbagebins. This volume is a rare chance to see Bertozzi & Casoni’s oeuvre in its entirety: It was produced for a survey of new and old work at Venice’s Galleria Internazionaled’Arte Moderna, which ran concur-rently with the 2007 Bienniale.The artists most recently showedtheir work in New York at SperoneWestwater gallery.

Kent Henricksen:A Season of DelightEdited by Luca Andriolo.Foreword by Norma Mangione.Text by Kathy Grayson, Bob Nickas,Lillian Davis, Mario Diacono.Victorian women in masks, sheepdominating young boys, hooded fig-ures popping out of the long grass,demented cherubs and arousedattack dogs are just some of thedarkly humorous figures that popu-late the work of rising New Yorkartist Kent Henrickson. Employingmany media and techniques—including drawing, embroidery onlinen, wallpaper and sculpture—Henrickson produces rich and craftyartworks that create peculiar psy-chosexual worlds while balancingclassical references with a contem-porary sensibility. “There is an absur-dist quality attached to my imagery,as boys become cloaked or as hood-ed executioners or young girls danceand play with ghosts while theythemselves are bound. At firstglance these scenarios appear to becompletely inappropriate and pre-posterous, but upon further scrutinythey can allude to psychologicalgames and/or individual powerstruggles.” This first monograph fea-tures paper changes, lots of full-bleed images and a host of excellentessays and interviews.

Therepresented songs are hits from jazzmusicals from the 1940s and 50s.Some are well-known standards,while others are obscure. The song titles contain philosophicalmoments, familiar and peripheralexperiences—some imagining abetter world or offering a fleetingchance to escape our own. When hefirst encountered the sheet music,Macdonald was intrigued by thenarrative relationship that devel-oped between the titles, which arepresented in the order in which theywere originally found. In the spiritof improvisation and free associa-tion, so closely linked with jazz,Macdonald paired each song withdrawings made in his studio andaerial photographs of Los Angeles.

Philippe DecrauzatEdited by Lionel Bovier.Introduction by Bice Curiger.Text by Bob Nickas, JulienFronsacq, Katia Garcia-Anton.Though his works evoke 60s Op art, Swiss-born artist PhilippeDecrauzat’s first reference is morelikely to be the film Tron thanBridget Riley. Decrauzat works in a variety of media—wall painting,shaped canvases, sculpture, installa-tions and works on paper, all ofwhich evidence flat chromatics andcomplex geometric compositions.Stating, “I am not trying to build up a new theory about ideologicalissues regarding the historical con-tent of abstraction. I am stronglyinvolved in investigating the statusof the image, in other words,indebted to practices trying to out-line the critical tools developed byConceptual and Op art,” Decrauzatclues us in to how his seeminglysimple mix of appropriated imageryand techniques works. This isDecrauzat’s first monograph andincludes an essay by critic and curator Bob Nickas.

Chris Doyle: 50,000 BedsText by Helen Kauder, Richard Klein, HarryPhilbrick, Will K. Wilkins.For the ambitious (and salacious-sounding)exhibition 50,000 Beds, Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Chris Doyle commissioned 45 fellow artists to make short videos, each setin a different hotel or motel in Connecticut.The videos were shown concurrently—in specially-designed multi-screen galleries—atConnecticut’s three premier contemporary artvenues, which opened on three consecutivenights: The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museumin Ridgefield, Artspace in New Haven and RealArt Ways in Hartford. Doyle’s concept focuseson the hotel as a site of narrative potential,a location that is intimate, anonymous andinfused with tension between the guests and the staff. All 45 artists included in the exhibition—a range of contemporary emergingartists who came up with a diversity ofresponses to the challenge posed, from fictionto documentary to animation—are included in this attractive volume bound in faux suede.Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist ChrisDoyle received his Bachelors degree in Fine Arts from Boston College and his Masters inArchitecture from Harvard University. His workhas recently been featured at The BrooklynMuseum of Art, The Queens Museum of Art,P.S.1, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, SocratesSculpture Park, The Sculpture Center and as partof the New York Video Festival at Lincoln Center,as well as at The Aldrich Contemporary ArtMuseum, Artspace and Real Art Ways. His work has been supported by grants from theNew York Foundation for the Arts, NYSCA and the Creative Capital Foundation. In 2007, hecompleted “The Moons,” a three-screen outdoorvideo piece for Kansas City's Sprint Arena.

Ma LiumingPerformances, Paintings,SculpturesEdited by Eleonora Battiston.Texts by Yuko Hasegawa, SergeLenczner and Ma Liuming.Along with fellow performanceartist Zhang Huan, Ma Liuming iswidely considered one of China’smost innovative artists. He took up performance art after the 1989Tiananmen Square protests inBeijing, but was not able to showhis work publicly until many yearslater. By the late 1990s, he hadattracted international attentionand begun showing abroad. Born in 1969, Liuming grew up in a China increasingly open to the rest of the world; in 1993, he had aformative studio visit with Britishartists Gilbert & George, who were in Beijing for an exhibition.Androgynous and confrontational,Liuming is now best known for hisradical performances as the lip-sticked female alter ego, Fen. Withan essay by writer and curatorEleonora Battiston, who specializesin Chinese contemporary art, thisvolume is a rare contextualization of Luiming’s daring oeuvre.

The context of theevent was “Spectator T,” a fictitiousartgoer without exposure to con-temporary aesthetics, and the ideawas to present artworks that wouldchallenge this person’s preconceivedideas about art. Thus, Toledo createda cover band that sang songs bylocal Sheffield groups, and named itafter the cult Sheffield nightclub,The Limit, which closed in 1992. Theband was created in Mexico, whereit played one local concert, thenbrought to Sheffield, where it playedtwo shows before disbanding.With this volume, Toledo continuesto play with the idea of authorshipby pirating an already iconic maga-zine layout—The Face—and turningit into a labyrinth of informationthat leaves the reader unsure if heor she is reading about music, aband’s story, an artist, Mexico oreven just pop culture.

Roman OndákEdited by Silvia Eiblmayr,Maria Hlavajova.Berlin-based Roman Ondák appro-priates and stages everyday situa-tions in the context of art. He aimsat capturing mundane moments—often invisible or hard to detectwithout his intervention—thatcontain the essential ingredientof hope, perhaps conveying the idea of a dream that one carriesthroughout the course of one’s life.Ondák “translates” these momentsinto performative situationsthrough which ordinary “non-events” can take a subtle detour,change the course of things. Forexample, his 2003 piece, “GoodFeelings in Good Times,” consists ofan orderly line of six people whosimply pretend to wait. By activatingperformative territories, Ondák circumscribes potential aesthetic,social and political possibilities onto mundane public routine.

Liu Xiaodong: PaintingFrom LifeText by Ai Weiwei, Pi Li.This volume is the most comprehen-sive look at Beijing-based painter LiuXiaodong, who was born in 1963, todate. Articles, interviews and essaysare accompanied by high quality,fold-out reproductions of his mostsignificant pieces in this beautifully-designed volume. As the title sug-gests, Liu paints from life—drawingfrom the rich history of the practicein Chinese art. Eschewing any senseof romanticism about his subjects,Liu approaches his fusion of land-scape painting and portraiture prag-matically. “Eighteen SoldiersBetween Mainland and Taiwan”(2004), for example, is a horizontalpainting segmented into eight sec-tions, each of which contains a full-body portrait of a soldier staringimpassively at the viewer or into thedistance; each stands against a dif-ferent background: a horizon of seaand sky, tanks and bunkers, treesand barbed wire. Included are textsby artist Ai Weiwei and curator Pi Li.

Interview by Ai Weiwei, Britta Erickson.In this collection of photographs, LiuXiadong, one of China’s most cele-brated artists, reveals to us theinspiration behind many of his mosticonic paintings. An album consist-ing of personal photographs takenbetween the years 1984 and 2006,these are the images that havestayed with Liu, inspiring andinforming his art throughout thepast two decades. Deeply personaland politically engaged, The Richnessof Life reveals for the first time thegreat extent to which Liu’s paintingsborrow from the discipline of pho-tography, making his art the finalproduct of a complex project involv-ing interviews, photos, sketches andanalyses, with little to do with easelpainting. Essays from leading schol-ars illuminate the actively rebuiltnature of Liu’s work, while in-depthinterviews provide Liu’s own per-spective on the process and pas-sions involved in his painting.

Lee Ufan: Encounterwith the OtherEdited and text by SilkeBerswordt-Wallrabe.South Korean-born artist Lee Ufan,who came to prominence in thelate-1960s as part of the JapaneseMono-ha (Object School) group, hasconsistently focused on challengingthe delineations between sculptureand painting. This gives his workmany stylistic affinities withAmerican Minimalism: “Relatum-Kiss” (1986), for example, is a floorpiece consisting of two stones rest-ing on Carl Andre-esque iron plates.Ufan’s theoretical writings are also asignificant part of his oeuvre; theyrefer heavily to philosophy—whichhe studied in Tokyo before co-found-ing Mono-ha. “It is difficult to saywhat is perfect or what is balanced,but the movement of vision in rela-tion to similarity and difference isendless,” he has written, in a charac-teristic meditation on aesthetics.Ufan has been exhibiting his workinternationally since the early 70s.This monograph places him in con-text with his peers, and engages in asocio-historical examination of histheoretical writing.

Alfredo Jaar: LaPolitique des ImagesEdited by Nicole Schweizer. Textby Griselda Pollock, JacquesRancière, Nicole Schweizer,Georges Didi-Huberman.Spanning from the 1970s until today,this compelling new monographtraces the development of therespected Chilean-born, New York-based conceptualist—from his earli-est public interventions to his latestinstallations. Some of the highlypolitical subjects range from theplight of Amazonian gold miners tothe 1994 genocide in Rwanda, andthere are several previously unpub-lished works that the artist createdin his hometown of Santiago duringPinochet’s repressive military dicta-torship, as well as numerous worksmade by collating and rethinkingpress clippings. Working with publicinterventions, installations, photog-raphy and video, Jaar examines thenature of images and their viewers’relationships to them. His work tack-les the very possibility of producingart based on events that we wouldprefer to ignore, and of creatingimages in a context characterizedboth by their over-abundance and,paradoxically, by their invisibility.Texts by art historians Georges DidiHuberman, Griselda Pollock andNicole Schweizer and philosopherJacques Rancière.

John Bock: FilmsForeword by Max Hollein. Text byJoachim Jäger, Robin Curtis,Massimiliano Gioni.John Bock, the German sculptor andperformance artist, born in 1965, isknown for his spectacular, comicallygrotesque action art, which com-ments energetically on everythingfrom aesthetics and politics to soci-ety and pseudo-science. His workhas been compared to the postwar,post-Dada Theater of the Absurd ofthe 1940s, 50s and 60s—an avantgarde movement that attempted toshock its audiences into facing life’sultimate, bleak reality by creatingindependent meaning in the face ofthe apparent, inherent lack thereof.It only makes sense that Bock hasincreasingly turned towards film inrecent years. This special editionartist’s book, with its exposed, sewnbinding and enigmatic white cover,provides an overview of Bock’s firstshort videos alongside his longernarrative films, featuring real actorsand sets. Collectively, the film workis considered both technically andaesthetically, from art historical andcinematographic perspectives. Filmstills, set photography and textsillustrate the individual works.

Joseph Beuys: Sculpture and DrawingEdited by Kristine Bell, Greg Lulay,Alexandra Whitney. Text by AlexandraWhitney, Mark Rosenthal.Joseph Beuys (1921–1986) is widely consideredone of the most important German artists ofthe twentieth century. His innovative experi-ments with materials and genres radicallyexpanded the possibilities of art-making, thusinfluencing successive generations of artists.Beuys’ practice was multi-faceted, incorporatingdrawings, installations, performances and evenpolitical activism into a unique body of workwhich promoted a mutable, new kind of art thatencouraged individual and social transforma-tion. The works in this exhibition catalogue,which include more than a dozen drawings andsix sculptures made between 1953 and 1984,exemplify Beuys’ unusual fusion of ideology andmyth with formal invention.

Western galleries,especially in Europe, are rushing to sign upunknown painters; artists a year out of collegeare selling photographic works for as much as $10,000 each; well-known painters have yearlong waiting lists; and the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum and the Pompidou Centerin Paris are considering opening branches inChina.” This fifty-third issue of the respectedCologne-based, English-language art journalJahresring is an in-depth study of what’s hap-pening in Chinese art today, as well as a pene-trating look at where the new trends and ideashave come from and where the market stands.With equal emphasis on images and text, thisessential survey features artists such as AiWeiwei, Big Tail Elephant Group, Cai Guoqiang,Huang Yongping, Sze Tsung Leong, Qui Zhijie, XuBing, Xu Tan, Xu Zhen, Yang Fudong and ZhangXiaogang, among many others, and includes crit-ical texts by international art world luminarieslike Thomas Bayrle, Jonathan Monk, ChristianJankowski, Erik van Lieshout, Mark Siemons, HansUlrich Obrist, Stephanie Tasch and Philip Tinari.

Jeff Gibson:Sarsaparilla to SorceryText by Jeffrey Kastner.In Sarsaparilla to Sorcery, artist andcritic Jeff Gibson pairs open-ended,abstract photographic images withpages torn from encyclopedias fromthe 1950s, 60s and 70s. The abstractimages—shot with a macro lens,but otherwise unmanipulated—depict various light sources and tex-tured surfaces distorted by coloredgels. Though none of the elementsare recognizable, the images arehighly allusive. By contrast, theappropriated pages present group-ings of natural and cultural materialand phenomena, whose meaningsare comparatively fixed by virtue oftheir taxonomic organization. Witheach of the juxtapositions, there is aformal correspondence—in terms ofcolor, composition and/or texture—that sparks a process of mutualinflection: The abstract images takeon curiously representational quali-ties in relation to the adjacent ency-clopedia images, while the specificityof the encyclopedia images is some-what undone by their visual correla-tion with the abstract images.

In his work,desire, especially gay desire, is seenas the entrance to another realm, asecret society filled with codedimagery.” Benedict’s paintings, pho-tographs, embroidery and sculpturalworks are populated by a host ofobscure references, from pirates tosaints to Freemasons and tarot sym-bology. Creating a labyrinth of liter-ary allusions, Benedict—a HermanMelville fan—deliberately eludesthe easy read, though agendas dosometimes emerge. “The Children’sHall” (2002–2005), for example, is adiptych featuring all manner of out-moded toy weaponry—sabres,machetes, daggers—arranged in adecorative, baroque pattern, whichrather darkly suggests the aestheticappeal of violence to children.

Scott MylesEdited by Beatrix Ruf. Text by Rob Tufnell,Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith.The oeuvre of Scottish artist Scott Myles isstrongly gestural. It consists of photographs,objects, serigraphs, paintings and performance-based projects—a kind of reactivation of ideason the valuation of art and social reality bymeans of the re-use of already established aes-thetic codes. Thus, along with known art-histori-cal works and their themes, concepts such asgenerosity or communication play a big role, aswell as the involvement of the subject in his/herown environment. Myles’ work, however, alsoalways deals with his experience as an artist,with the role of the viewer and a certain openly-avowed romanticism. Along with all of this is ahigh degree of fictionalization, and, included inthese fictions, the potential for producing art.This volume offers a comprehensive look intoMyles’ artistic production from 1999 to 2006.

The Message:Art and OccultismEdited by Michael Krajewski,Susanne Zander. Text by AndréBreton, Claudia Dichter,Andreas Fischer.Occult practices, séances and magichave traditionally been met withsuspicion in the world of high cul-ture, but they are currently getting afresh look. Turns out, they have longhad a quiet influence on art—atleast since the mid-1800s. TheMessage demonstrates this fascinat-ing history with paranormal-influ-enced paintings, drawings andthought photographs, a term for thephenomenon of imprinting animage from one’s mind directly ontoa photographic medium—some-thing we’ve all at least wished wecould do. . . By the early eighteenthcentury, the occult had found ahome in the arts with the advent ofSurrealism—in 1933, André Bretondiscussed these inexplicable phe-nomena in his text, The AutomaticMessage. This publication borrowsits name from Breton’s text, and fea-tures early-twentieth-century pho-tographs of séances from thearchive of parapsychologist Albertvon Schrenck-Notzing, which vividlyillustrate Breton’s ideas.

This substantial new publi-cation includes 146 abstract geo-metric artworks from the1930s–1970s—drawings, paintings,sculptures and photography fromsuch cultural centers as Argentina,Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay andVenezuela. It also elaborates on anew perspective: that LatinAmerican identity greatly affectedthe art of the Modernist period. Arthistorian and curator Juan Ledezmacreates unexpected connections andvisual analogies across generationaland national boundaries, offering,for example, socio-political corollar-ies between Latin AmericanConcrete art and concurrent move-ments like Russian Constructivismand Suprematism.

But is that all?The role of color in artistic work isindeed diverse. Yves Klein sought toremove materiality from his work by using International Klein Blue,which he created. In the work of theLeipzig painter Hartwig Ebersbach,color is the source of expressivemovement and extreme energy. Thisvolume documents the transforma-tive power of color through a rangeof international contemporary artmovements: from the structuralinvestigations of Minimal art andColor-Field painting, to the symbolicanalyses of Arte Povera andConceptual art, and through the rise of color photography and experimental film. Through selectedworks and texts, this publicationpresents artists who use color as a conceptual component of theirpractice—including WilliamEggleston, Yves Klein, JohnMcCracken, William Pope.L, BridgetRiley, Thomas Ruff, Keith Sonnier and others.

Citizens and SubjectsThe Netherlands, For ExampleEdited by Rosi Braidotti,Charles Esche, Maria Hlavajova.In 2007, Aernout Mik represented theNetherlands at the Venice Biennale.Rather than produce a standard cata-logue to accompany Mik’s acclaimedthree-part video installation, curatorMaria Hlavajova organized this denseand galvanizing critical reader.Interspersed with provocative black-and-white images from Mik’s art-works, Citizens and Subjects looks atthe Netherlands as an example ofthe contemporary Western conditionat a time when the demands of“national security,” the normalizationof violence and the maintenance ofhigh levels of fear and anxiety havebecome part of daily life in the so-called “West.”This volume seeks toidentify the causes of our currentpredicament and looks at how oursociety fails to negotiate the chal-lenges posed by economic globaliza-tion, human migration and cross-cul-tural influence. With contributions byphilosophers, social scientists andartists including Marlene Dumas,Aernout Mik, Willem de Rooij andLawrence Weiner.

Album: On andAround, The Work ofUrs Fischer, YvesNetzhammer, UgoRondinone, andChristine StreuliParticipating at the 52ndVenice Biennale 2007Edited by Daniel Kurjakovic. Textby Bice Curiger, Klaus Theweleit,Philip Ursprung, Tim Zulauf.Beautifully designed, text-heavy and smart, Album is a deliberatelyunrepresentative compilation ofgenre-hopping textual and visualmaterial placed in orbit around thework of the influential young Swissartists Urs Fischer, Yves Netzhammer,Ugo Rondinone and ChristineStreuli—all of whom were born inthe early-to-mid-1970s, and all ofwhom represented Switzerland atthe 2007 Venice Biennale. Finelyprinted on uncoated paper, the bookincludes specially commissioned critical texts, conversations, reportsand visual essays that address,sometimes straightforwardly, some-times obliquely, the larger issuesimplied in this group’s work—suchas notions of time, the animal andthe human, shock and materiality.

Wolfgang Tillmans:ConcordeAccording to photographer WolfgangTillmans, “For the chosen few, flyingConcorde is apparently a glamorousbut cramped and slightly boringroutine while to watch it in air,landing or taking off is a strangeand free spectacle, a super modernanachronism and an image of thedesire to overcome time and dis-tance through technology.” With notext other than the inner-frontflap’s description, this fourth print-ing of Tillmans’ iconic artist’s bookconsists of 62 color photographs ofthe Concorde airplane—taking off,landing or in flight, and sometimesas just a tiny, bird-like silhouette inthe sky. The photographs speak ofboth the beauty and the environ-mental devastation produced bythis fabled French airplane, bothsides of which Tillmans captures in his casual yet formally elegantsignature style.

Tom Sandberg:Photographs 1989–2006Edited by Alanna Heiss.Text by Bob Nickas.Tom Sandberg’s photographs made a splash at New York’s P.S.1Contemporary Art Center in Februaryof 2007. Though previously almostunknown to the American public,Sandberg, born in 1953, has quietlyproduced, over three decades, asuperb oeuvre of austere, large-scaleblack-and-white photography.Focusing on a single object or personin each photograph, and steepingthem in a murky, wintry light,Sandberg draws out soft tones andmoody atmospheres from his sub-jects to create a pervasive complicitybetween them and the surroundinglandscape. But he is an exactingimage-maker too, and an involvedone, insisting as he does on clarityamid darkness, and on the viewer’semotional approach to his images.Co-designed by the artist this beau-tifully-made catalogue—with essaysby visionary curator Bob Nickas andP.S.1’s Alanna Heiss—serves as animportant primer on one ofNorway’s foremost practitioners ofphotography.

Robert Adams:Questions for anOvercast DayQuestions for an Overcast Day is aseries of 33 photographs of youngalder trees growing along theOregon coastline near the artist’shome. The series begins by focusingon the branches of the trees, and,progressing from one image to thenext, narrows its focus, culminatingwith several images of a single leaf.The leaves on the trees appear per-forated, the precise cause of whichis unknown. The artist likens theparticular pattern of erosion oneach leaf to hieroglyphics, reading in them a unique “calligraphy of disaster.” About them, Adams writes:“What would account for the condi-tion of the leaves—drought, insects,rocky ground, disease, herbicide,wind? Are the leaves beautiful?”As with the artist’s earlier photo-graphs—of suburban detritus, tracthousing under construction anddevastated, clear-cut forests—theviewer is invited to find beauty as it coexists with the imperfection,even destruction, of the present day.

As MichaelKimmelman writes in The New YorkTimes, “Ms. Höfer is a straight pho-tographer whose humanity andimprovisatory spirit come across ifwe are patient enough to appreciatethe serendipity of her light, the subtlety of her color and the quiet,melancholy pleasure she seems to take in finding, as if almost bychance, poetry in institutional form.”Born in 1944 Candida Höfer is a former student of Bernd and HillaBecher’s at the Düsseldorf ArtAcademy. Her work was recentlyseen at a one-person show at theICA, Philadelphia.

They capture their subjects in ways thattransform, enhance and accentuatesocial and cultural meaning, doingso with the full complicity andrespect of the people they photo-graph. Robbins and Becher spendweeks living with each communitythey document. They immersethemselves in the stories of its citizens and history, interviewingresidents, participating in their cus-toms, photographing them at work,play and home. Most important,they allow their subjects to repre-sent themselves—not only as theywould like to been seen, but in ways that illuminate their complexhumanity.

Bohumil KrcilText by Jitka Hlavackova.The work of the legendary late photographerand samizdat publisher Bohumil “Bob” Krcil,who was born in 1952, is little known in hisnative country. He left Czechoslovakia in 1969,and for the next 23 years, traveled extensivelythrough much of Europe and Asia, photograph-ing what he encountered. He had a knack for being in the right place at the right time:He captured the Afghan city of Herat before the Soviet invasion; the hashish culture of theIndian part of the Himalayas; and New York,where he eventually settled on the Lower EastSide, in the 1980s, in a straightforward, docu-mentary style. Of his New York work, The PraguePost wrote, “Like his work from other pointsacross the globe, the photos of New York most-ly capture people on the streets or in shops,all of whom seem to radiate the special energyof the city. Even his cityscapes without peopleare full of life. The best photo from this series is “The Twins in the Wind” (1983), showing thetowers of the World Trade Center rising above a mound of earth and utterly isolated againstthe sky, almost as if they were alone in a desert, touching the clouds.” Like his prominentfriends, photographers Josef Koudelka andAntonín Kratochvíl, Krcil lived and worked inexile. He is remembered for his innate open-ness, tolerance and amiability—traits thatmade him a natural traveler. This publicationincludes an essay by Jitka Hlavackova, an arthistorian at Prague City Gallery.

JamesTurell, master sculptor of light andspace, contributes a brief forewordto this volume.

This is the story of20 students in their final year atone of the elite high schools ofSofia, Bulgaria, in 2005. In photo-graphs and quotations, it docu-ments how the first post-Cold Wargeneration matures in “an adoles-cent society”—modern-day Bulgariabeing only 17 years old when thework was made, just like the stu-dents. Nikolaeva introduces theproject with the following words:“When I was in the sixth grade, Isuddenly heard one day that wedidn’t have to wear the red scarvesanymore. We didn't have to wearthe uniforms either. From now on,the new way to address our teach-ers was “Mr. and Mrs.” as opposedto “Comrade.” In the years that wereto follow, the history books wouldbe re-written too. That was the endof Communism in Bulgaria. It was1989 and I was 13 years old.”

Victor Vazquez 1989–2007Foreword by Augustin Artiaga.Introduction by Cheryl Hartup.Text by Michelle Dalmace,Antonio Zaya.Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, andeducated on the doctoral level atNew York University before travelingto India, China and Japan to studyart, literature and cultural history,Victor Vazquez has been working asan artist for more than 20 years, cre-ating photographs, three-dimen-sional objects, videos and installa-tion works in which the humanbody figures both conceptually andformally. In this generous exhibitioncatalogue, published to coincidewith the artist’s 2007 Ponce ArtMuseum exhibition, Vazquez offersa series of semiotic constructs thatnavigate identity, ritual, politics andanthropological inquiry. Themesinclude the duality of language andmeaning and the relationshipsbetween nature, culture, memoryand identity. The works are eloquentin their sense of discovery and sur-prise—sometimes sensual, some-times frightening, but always wor-thy of prolonged examination.

Phyllis La Farge &Magdalena Caris:Painted Walls of MexicoForeword by Homero Ardis.When author Phyllis La Farge andphotographer Magdalena Carisrecently took a journey from thestate of Xalapa in Veracruz to thetown of Coatepec, they noted thaton the facades of countless publicand private buildings, improvisedmurals had been painted. The witand exuberance of these wallpaintings, whether commercial orsimply decorative, suggested anurban visual lingo that could betraced to the ancestral murals ofpre-Columbian Mexico, and LaFargue and Caris decided that theydeserved closer study. Somewherebetween a scholarly investigationand a travel book, Painted Walls ofMexico documents these oftenanonymous interventions. AsHomero Aridjis writes in the pref-ace, “Painted Walls is not only aninvaluable testimony to thisundervalued art which is disap-pearing from our streets, but hon-ors the unknown artists who, withhumor and imagination but with-out the slightest recognition, con-vert the streets of their town intoan open gallery.”

Luis González Palma:Jerarquías de IntimidadText by Elizabeth Culbert, Gracielade Oliveira, Francisco Najera.Over the past decade, Luis GonzálezPalma—who was born in Guatemalain 1957—has become one of themost influential photographers inLatin America. So the legend goes,around 1985, Palma, who had gradu-ated as an architect and filmmaker,made his first photographs ofdancers and actors with a borrowedcamera. The theatrical aspects ofthese staged portraits were thebasis for his later work, in whichpainted and scratched photographswere installed in small groupings.Over the years, González Palma hasconstructed an innovative visuallanguage, through which he investi-gates Latin America’s legacy of colo-nialism, the subjugation of thenative cultures of Guatemala and,more recently, the mysteries ofinterpersonal relationships. Thismonograph consists of a series ofprojects created after his move toCórdoba, Argentina, in 2001.
