Hardcover. Condition: New. "Lee and I have shared a number of unconventionally interesting friends during our five decades together, people who show us an unusual way of living a life. I would put Raoul Hague on that list, maybe at the top. Beginning in the mid 1960s and continuing for more than 25 years, Lee and I and our children visited him at the Woodstock, New York, cabin where he lived and worked. To enter Hague's cabin was entering his universe. It was not simply a dwelling and a studio but a carefully organized way of life, a reflection of an esthetic ideal. All he did, whether work or pleasure, was driven by this ideal, which he created for himself and carried out without compromise. Hague was the quintessential storybook artist". from the text by Maria Friedlander. Witness Number 6 provides a portrait 'in 157 photographs by Lee Friedlander, and accompanying essay by Maria Friedlander' of the sculptor Raoul Hague. The Friedlanders knew Hague for over two and a half decades, and their deep fondness for, and mutual trust with, the Armenian-born sculptor comes through in every image and word of this gorgeous addition to JGS's Witness series. ISBN: 978-1-59005-243-3 Hardcover, 9 1/2 x 12, 96 pages, 157 duotone plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. In the American west during the last 35 years, the number of fires increased by a factor of four; the average fire went from lasting one week to lasting five; the total area burned increased by six-and-a-half times; and the average fire season increased by 78 days. All of which is to say, as Bill McKibben points out in his introduction to Wildfire, we really shouldn't be calling them wildfires any more. Sasha Bezzubov has gained wide recognition for his photographs of natural disasters in his ongoing project 'Things Fall Apart.' Wildfire, the artist's first monograph, is comprised of 32 large-scale photographs of the aftermath of forest fires in California. Using the genre of landscape photography, a tradition born with, and used to celebrate, industrial expansion, these photographs evidence the fragility of the man-made as it is transformed into dreamscapes of apocalyptic proportions. 'The cycle of destruction and regeneration, of death and birth, is a reality that is not subject to human contravection. Despite the muted palette, these pictures present stunning vistas of natural wreckage that mirror man-made war zones. The vastness of the devastation is at once appalling and breathtaking.' Mary Hrbacek, New York Art World ISBN: 978-1-59005-247-1 Hardcover, 12 x 13, 64 pages, 32 four-color plates.

Hard cover. Condition: New. Making full use of the book?s accordion-bound format, husband and wife Ed and Deanna Templeton present their own photographs and words in turn, printed back-to-back on the same sheets of paper, folded together between blue cloth covers in a die cut plastic slipcase. "We were born into this situation, and made the best of what we were dealt, thriving on the sidewalks and front yards and hidden from the influence of the city until the city poured over the castle walls out into the surrounding suburbium that grew like barnacles along the edges. (Ed Templeton) "We found ourselves in a tract of homes that felt familiar and safe. We wandered among the quiet dark tract housing, devoid of people, finally lying down together on a rectangle of grass wedged between the sidewalk and the street. We stared up at the stars talking until the sun came up." (Deanna Templeton) Contemporary Suburbium is a photographic meditation on living in the suburbs of Orange County, California ? specifically, Huntington Beach, a seaside town on the outer extremities of the population surrounding Los Angeles. Once dotted with orange trees, oil drilling and summer cottages for the rich, Huntington Beach is now a popular beach destination for vacationers, and the old cottages are being replaced with tall modern three-story houses. The photographs in this book are a look at the people of this traditionally conservative stronghold, the disaffected youth, the fortunate (and less fortunate), as they venture out from behind fences, walls, and endless blocks of tract housing. Reading like two opposing coming-of-age novellas about the same place, Contemporary Suburbium offers a gritty and sunbaked, yet romantic view of Southern California, and of the twenty-first century in its own adolescence. Ed and Deanna Templeton?s photographs have been widely exhibited and published throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. This is Ed?s second, and Deanna?s first, book published by Nazraeli Press. Hardcover, slipcased, 210 x 160mm, accordion-bound, 86 duotone plates ISBN 978-1-59005-478-9.

Hardcover. Condition: New. High Tide Wane Moon Kazuumi Takahashi Japanese artist Kazuumi Takahashi?s stunning first monograph, High Tide Wane Moon, explores the relationship between the moon and the ocean. The son of a fisherman, Takahashi grew up near the sea. The schedule of the tide influenced his daily planning, just as the moon in turn influenced the tides. In this large-format book, Takahashi presents 25 double-page spreads, each with a photograph of the moon on the left side, and a corresponding photograph of the ocean on the right. Every double page thus comprises a beautiful diptych in which the viewer is enveloped in water and sky. Collectively, the photographs pay homage to forces that have inspired our dreams, and influenced our ways of life, since the beginning of humankind. Takahashi?s work has been widely exhibited throughout Japan. We are pleased to make it available to an international audience with this publication. Printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies, High Tide Wane Moon closes with an esay by Shino Kuraishi, Curator of Photography at the Yokohama Museum of Art. Hardcover, 14 x 11, 56 pages, 51 four-color plates. ISBN 978-1-59005-198-6.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographer This collection is our third collaboration with the remarkable Joseph Mills. An artist of unique vision and exceptional skill, Mills is influenced in particular by the Dada and Surrealist movements, and by his personal experience of psychosis. He describes his earliest artistic accomplishment as ?simply surviving through creativity.? Starting out as a photographer, a snow-induced confinement indoors kicked off a second creative practice: collage. Now, 35 years later, these two ostensibly different bodies of work continue along simultaneously parallel and overlapping paths. Our first monograph, Inner City, features Mills?s street photography while the second, The Loves of the Poets, is devoted to collage. In this gorgeous new book we present silk-screened images, a medium relatively new to Mills but one he deploys with his own inimitable genius. Anarch is fascinating, beautiful and truly unique. Joseph Mills has lived and worked in Washington, DC for many years. His work has been widely exhibited and can be found in numerous private and museum collections. Hardcover, 11 x 14, 32 pages, 27 four-color plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. With his striking new book Mallorca: Island in Progress, German photographer Marc Roder has landed on a Spanish island known primarily as a Mediterranean holiday hot spot. Over the course of four years, he watched the drastic changes of landscape and architecture, and the annual flow of some ten million tourists over the island. Like an archaeologist, he digs with his camera through the different decades of a paradise being changed by the parameters of global capitalism. Rader's 'docu-fiction' style turns the ordinary landscape into pictures which resemble fantastic architectural models, putting into question the veracity of his medium. The island of Mallorca has become a laboratory of tourism, a temporary paradise: a European melting pot which struggles from overusage, environmental destruction, and growing demands of established and recently-arrived inhabitants. Marc Roder's work has been widely exhibited in the United States, Europe and Asia, and is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. ISBN: 1-59005-181-5 Hardcover, 14 x 12, 86 pages, 67 four-color plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This is the third book from Korean Photographer published by Nazraeli Press 'The winter sea that Boomoon photographed was so stormy it could just as well be called a sea of snow. The snow is constantly, imperceptibly, burying and sinking the landscape in a uniform whiteness. But the accumulating snow does not simply cover and hide the landscape, it strips away the cover of existing meaning that envelops the figure of nature. At times the windblown snow violently agitates the scene, but this agitation can also be seen having the same endpoint. The snow is making the landscape new.' from the introduction by Shino Kuraishi. Our third monograph with the contemporary artist Boomoon presents a series of 33 photographs of a snowstorm where the sea meets the coast of Naksan. The series takes its name from a beach in northeast Korea that faces Japan. But the photographs construct an encounter for the beholders with themselves, wherever they may be, to reflect on the place they are in now, so the location is 'nowhere.' Or, as was the case with Boomoon's previous book, On the Clouds, 'anywhere'. Photographs by Boomoon. Nazraeli Press, Portland, 2011. 44 pp., 33 duotone illustrations, 9x13".

Hardcover. Condition: New. Few careers with a camera have been as narrated and celebrated as that of Margaret Bourke-White. With legendary fortitude and energy, Bourke-White time and again nailed the assignments she was given with formal brilliance and incisive descriptive power. In this series of images, we feel a relaxing of her precision as she recorded an emblematic struggle between natural force and human ingenuity, between our limitations and the grand devices we create to defy them. In the March 22, 1937 issue of LIFE, a publication just six months old, there was a cover story entitled 'Parachutes.' Margaret Bourke-White's pictures told the story of the Irving Air Chute Company in Buffalo, New York, the world's largest manufacturer of parachutes. The photographic sequence of parachutes being tested by Irving employees in this book did not make the article in 1937, but survive instead as diminutive and precious vintage prints, as art. Their wonder is in their ambiguity, their lack of captions and context, their archetypal address of the questions of human importance, of who is really pulling the strings. Printed in duotone on matt stock, and bound in Japanese saifu, this elegant little book is an important addition to the literature on this extraordinary artist. Introduction by Trudy Wilner Stack. ISBN: 1-59005-013-4 Hardcover, 6 1/2 x 10, 32 pages, 20 duotone plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This gorgeous, limited edition artist's book by Nicola Dill is a 48-page "installation" of the artist's elegant and meditative photographs of surf grasses. Unstaged and recorded in-camera, the photographs comprising this series are gestures in patience and time. The individual pieces leave the narrative aspect of photography behind, focusing on constantly changing structures and lines, preserving on film the temporary etchings created by the surf and sandy shores of the Pacific. Nicola Dill's photographs have been widely exhibited and published in the United States and in Germany. "Sea Etchings", her first monograph, is printed in an oversized format on matt Japanese art paper. This first printing is limited to 500 copies.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Boomoon's third book with Nazraeli Press, Stargazing at Sokcho comprises 19 dreamlike land- and skyscapes made in the artist's secluded hometown in north-eastern Korea. Resembling nothing so much as the way the skies might look from the inside of a snow-globe, these gorgeous color photographs include hints of Sokcho's soaring granite peaks and dense forests, clear, bitterly cold skies, and an almost audible roar of silent eternity. Boomoon is widely considered one of South Korea's most important contemporary artists. His photographs and films have been shown widely in Asia and Europe, and are included in important collections throughout the world. Stargazing at Sokcho is printed on matt art paper, with a double varnish, in an oversized horizontal format; this first printing is limited to 500 casebound copies. 1-59005-159-9 Hardcover, 17 x 13, 24 pages, 19 four-color plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, personification is the representation 'of a thing or abstraction as a person.? In Neeta Madahar's new series of allegorical portraits 'Flora,' the traditional procedure of personification is reversed: here, actual women appropriate imagery stretching back to antiquity to fashion an empowering public persona. A favorite subject of Renaissance and Baroque painters, Flora was traditionally depicted as a young woman surrounded by reveling devotees bearing floral tributes. Madahar, however, presents us with a different Flora. Her immediate inspiration was not Botticelli but the stylized portrait photography of the 1930-50s including that of Cecil Beaton, Angus McBean and Madame Yevonde. These are images of real women whose bodies and comportment exemplify a willful sense of self-possession won through lived experience. Printed in process color on matt art paper, and opening with an insightful essay by Allan Doyle. This beautifully-produced artist?s book is bound in French suede covers in a first edition of 1,000 copies. ISBN. 978-1-59005-250-1 Hardcover, 11 x 14, 48 pages, 17 four-color plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Robert Adams has for many years photographed the western American landscape, but here brings together thirty-two pictures made in his own back yard. In them, he records the pleasures that a small dog and her human companions have found in a sanctuary less than fifty feet to a side. In his preface, the photographer gives us a metrical description of paradise from a dog?s point of view, a reply to those who might charge sentimentality, and an outline for a creation story. The book is at once amusing and serious, local and far-reaching. Its theme is gratitude. Hardcover, 8 1/2 x 9, 48 pages, 32 duotone plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Jeremy Stigter (illustrator). The Jewish Bride Jeremy Stigter The Jewish Bride is a photo-novella, or, as its author Jeremy Stigter likes to call it, a photo-play. The Jewish Bride is a singular work of art. It is, in a way, a story book for grown-ups. A story that is both intimate and chilling. There are no words, just pictures, one after the other, like a silent movie without the piano. And, as in a silent movie, it is all played out in black and white. Bit by bit, as one image follows the other, a narrative unfolds. The story told is basically simple, banal even as it concerns a romantic encounter between a man and a woman. It happens to go wrong. Or seems to, in any case. Another dimension, unexpected, dream-like, imposes itself. It is this very particular surreal feeling, mixed with a fair dose of black humor, which gives The Jewish Bride its distinct character. Having finished the story, the reader/spectator will inevitably turn back the pages, to the beginning, the middle, the end. Jeremy Stigter was born in Holland in . He currently lives in Paris, and has exhibited his work in France, Holland, Italy and Japan. This is his first book. Hardcover, 11 x 14, 120 pages, 58 duotone plates. ISBN 978-1-59005-197-9.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This remarkable album is a collaboration between Rudy Burckhardt, one of the great New York photographers of the 1930s and 1940s, and his companion and lifelong friend, the poet and dance critic Edwin Denby. Previously unpublished, and reproduced here in facsimile, New York, N. Why? is a unique, handmade book containing 67 photographs and seven sonnets. Now in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, it contains many of Burckhardt's best-known images, dazzlingly sequenced into three urban themes advertising, pedestrians, and street furniture. The photographer and poet met in Basel, Switzerland in 1934 and moved the following year to New York. There, the Burckhardt instinctively sought out what others overlooked, 'the abstract modernist tableaux of fire hydrants, standpipes, cornices, and columns; the readymade collage of newsstands and storefronts; and the complex choreography of pedestrians darting and weaving through crowded intersections.' An accompanying essay by Doug Eklund, Associate Curator in the Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan, examines the album in relation to Burckhardt's contemporaneous films, Denby's pioneering writing on dance from the same moment, and the origins of the New York School in painting, photography, and poetry. Hardcover, 12 x 14, 52 pages, 67 duotone plates. ISBN: 978-1-59005-229-7.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Signed by Photographer "It is difficult to imagine scenes more politically relevant at this very moment than these photos from America?s great grasslands. The pivotal period for most of these places occurred in a time that is a close parallel to our own, so grasslands stand as living, breathing records of an age of upheaval, economic depression and well-meant policy gone wrong. That they persist is testimony to a unique American strength: an evolved and evolving commitment to conservation. Yet they are at the same time not so much a recollection of the past, as they are an exhortation of what we must do to honor this legacy." From the Introduction by Richard Manning. Eight years ago, Nazraeli Press published Don Kirby's first book, Wheatcountry, to wide critical acclaim. We are pleased to announce Kirby's second monograph, Grasslands, which serves both as a companion book to Wheatcountry, and as stand-alone monograph of this important and timely series of photographs. In 2005, Kirby began a major study of the National Grasslands in the United States. The resulting monograph comprises 47 duotone plates, sequenced geographically from America's heartland of Nebraska, the Dakotas, Kansas and Oklahoma through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho, to the Oregon and California coastlines. Printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies, Grasslands opens with an introductory essay by Richard Manning, and concludes with Jay Dusard's insightful and feisty afterword.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Anrakuji by Emi Anrakuji Emi Anrakuji?s unsettling self-portraits and other subjects have earned her a growing recognition in her home country, and we are pleased to present her first monograph to be published outside of Japan. The artist represents herself as an alchemist of images and a catalyst for daydreams and desires. The vignettes of jigsaw puzzle-like shots of herself and others blur the boundaries between documentary and staged photography. Posing naked, clothed, or partially dressed, Anrakuji takes a uniquely obsessive interest in her own body. Her legs, arms, hands, toes, lips and hair create arresting compositions and erotic ambience. When she focuses on the opposite sex, it results in equally surprising elaborations on the male anatomy. This obsession with the human body at its most intimate is a result, in part, from her long periods spent hospitalized: after graduating from art school in Tokyo in the mid-1980s, Anrakuji suffered a cerebral tumor that prevented her from making art for more than a decade. During her gradual recovery, she began to make block prints, then photographs. Emi Anrakuji is this year?s winner of the prestigious New Photographer Award at the Higashikawa Photography Prize. Hardcover, 6 1/2 x 10, 60 pages, 53 four-color plates. ISBN 1-59005-167-x.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Plywood Signs is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.\n\n"The ultimate DIY material might be plywood. It is cheap and easy to use for fabricating many things, including outdoor signs. Professionals use it as do untrained, amateur sign makers where the results often have a decidedly "outsider art" quality. Unfortunately, plywood signs do not endure very well the punishment of the elements: rain, snow, sunlight and wind. But the weathering of plywood, combined with the outsider aesthetic of many signs, often creates wonderful results. The wavy, swirling patterns in aging plywood suggest, to my eye, the primeval chaos of the universe." Steve Fitch\n\nWidely published and exhibited, Fitch's photographs are included in the permanent collections of such museums as the Whitney Museum of American Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Modern Art, New York; J.

Hardcover. Condition: New. INNER CITY Joseph Mills Mills is a good enough picture maker to intrigue us and yet he is determined to keep us on the edge of unknowing. - Anne Tucker Joseph Mills is a mid-career artist who has produced three distinct but interlocking bodies of work. He is best known for his surreal photomontages and collages. The other two series are the ongoing affair, through photography, with his wife; and his black and white street work, the latter of which are featured in his first monograph, Inner City. People and their detritus are the focal points of these pictures. His subjects are not Washington?s elite, but those whose situations in life are more peripheral and vulnerable: children, street prophets, the homeless and the mentally unstable. The resulting pictures are both about the inner city life he records and his own internal conflicts. Printed on outdated paper and heavily coated in amber toned varnish, Mills? photographs become objects, windows onto some world that really wasn?t out there. Published in association with Hemphill, Washington, DC. Essay by Anne Tucker. Hardcover, 7 1/2 x 9 1/2, 72 pages, 49 four-color plates. ISBN 1-59005-055-x.

Ke Lefa Laka/ Her Story - 2 is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.\n\n"In my attempt to make sense of my loss and as a post-grief, after my mother passed away, I started looking for pieces of her in her house. I found many of her photographs and clothes, which have always been there, but which I had ignored over the years. Photographs present us, therefore, not just with the "thereness" of the object but its "having-been-there", thus having the ability to present a past, a present and future in a single image (Barthes, 1980, p.77). Like Barthes looking at the photo of his mother, we look at the person and see the trajectory of their life. The fact that no matter how alive they look, the photograph points to all of our mortalities. The essence of my mother that I identify in these photographs is, in fact, my essence, my constructions, my memories and fantasies of this person whom I met in only one capacity: namely, mother." Lebohang Kganye\n\nWe are thrilled to announce the publication of Ke Lefa Laka / Her-story by Lebohang Kganye.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Mark Steinmetz (illustrator). 2020 reprint of this modern classic. ighly regarded for his black-and-white portraits, Mark Steinmetz is renowned for producing powerful pictures that capture the strong sense of displacement and isolation felt by many young Americans. His celebrated trilogy ?South? (consisting of South Central, South East, and Greater Atlanta) was published by Nazraeli Press between 2007 and 2009, and offers a lyrical and evocative look at American culture and notions of progress. We are pleased to announce a new, remastered edition of these three important titles. The format, sequence and design are true to the original printings. The materials, however, have been upgraded; the books are now bound in cloth over board, and printed in quadratone on a special matte art paper. Long out of print, South Central, South East and Greater Atlanta have been elusive goals for many libraries. This remastered release will be a welcome addition to any good library of photographic books. Mark Steinmetz completes his powerful and moving trilogy, ?South?, with Greater Atlanta. Photographing in Atlanta and its outlying regions, Steinmetz provides his testimony on contemporary American civilization. Combining portraits and landscapes, he weaves a symbolic and lyrical investigation that subtly questions notions of progress. He further develops motifs - on the automobile, on the telephone, that were first introduced in South Central, and catalogues car culture, fast food, convenience stores, and suburban sprawl. Beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper, Greater Atlanta is printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies. Mark Steinmetz is a Guggenheim Fellow.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographer In the mid-1980s, Stu Levy began making 'grid-portraits' in order to overcome his his frustration with traditional portraiture's limited point of view. These constructs of photographs, consisting of twelve to twenty-five individual images, scan the architecture and flow of time in a subject's living or working environment. The resulting portraits, usually of artists, craftspeople and musicians, are made in the subjects 'studios or living spaces and serve as a backstage tour of the artist's mind and creative process. Levy is fascinated by the artifacts that fill these spaces the possessions by which the subjects are themselves possessed. Rather than confining himself to a single 'decisive' moment, Levy explore its antithesis, a maze of scrambled time. These are made with a view camera using 4 x 5-inch negatives to allow for precision of detail. The sections are printed together to form the illusion of glancing through a window at a 'snapshot' of an event, which in reality might consist of fragmentary views made months apart and in totally separate rooms or environments. Among the subjects included in this important new monograph are Dr. Stanley Burns, Linda Connor, Barbara Crane, Jay Dusard, David Hockney, Graham Nash, and Jerry Uelsmann. Beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper and bound in black Japanese cloth, this first printing of 'Grid-Portraits' is limited to 1,000 copies.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographer 'I am interested in history which is constructed by accumulation of people's memory and leads to our imagination. I take photographs not just because I am attracted to the form of a subject, but also because I want to express an individually unique, hidden psychological fact, 'beyond the visual image.' ' Tomoko Yoneda Between Visible represents unique perceptions of some major intellectual figures of the late nineteenth to middle twentieth centuries: Sigmund Freud, Herman Hesse, James Joyce, Gustav Mahler, Junichiro Tanizaki, Le Corbusier, Mahatma Ghandi, and Leon Trotsky. Key objects that helped shape the work of these scholars are viewed through their actual eyeglasses giving tiny clues to various aspects of their lives. 'Between Visible and Invisible' refers to the correlation between the image on the surface (the visible) and the unknown narrative beneath the surface (the invisible) which when revealed changes the context of the photograph. Since graduating from art school in 1991, Tomoko Yoneda has exhibited widely in the United States, England, Japan, and Russia. Between Visible is her first monograph. Introduction by Kotaro Iizawa.

THE GRAND TOUR by Dick Arentz Signed by the Photographer Dick Arentz first established his reputation in the 1970s with his photographs of the American Southwest, and later turned his attention to the southern and central agricultural states. The Grand Tour is informed by these earlier works, but concentrates on the great cities and monuments of European cultures. While Arentz has captured scenes and subjects that appear unchanged from a century ago, his historical connectedness is not a romantic denial of the present in search for an impossibly remote past. Closer examination reveals a subtle but frank acknowledgement of radical changes in both his subjects and the travel experience. Introduction by Thomas Southall.

Desert Daze is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.\nIn the summer of 2024, Yoko Ikeda and Toshio Shibata embarked on a classic California road trip. Starting out in Los Angeles, they traveled up the Central Coast to Paso Robles before heading east to Nipton, Lone Pine, and the Mojave Desert. Ikeda photographed the journey using both film and digital cameras, weaving two stories in parallel. Upon returning to Japan, she processed her film and realized that it had been fogged, likely the result of being x-rayed at the airport on her way home.\n\nFortunately, sometimes unexpected elements can bring good results: the hazed photographs call up memories of her summertime journey through the desert, heat waves rising off roads and the vague feeling of being away from home.\n\nDesert Daze is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.\nISBN: 978-1-59005-627-1\n\nHardcover, 6 x 8 1/2, 16 pages, 16 four-color plates, 1 original signed photograph.

(consisting of South Central, South East, and Greater Atlanta) was published by Nazraeli Press between 2007 and 2009, and offers a lyrical and evocative look at American culture and notions of progress. We are pleased to announce a new, remastered edition of these three important titles. The format, sequence and design are true to the original printings. The materials, however, have been upgraded; the books are now bound in cloth over board, and printed in quadratone on a special matte art paper. Long out of print, South Central, South East and Greater Atlanta have been elusive goals for many libraries. This remastered release will be a welcome addition to any good library of photographic books. Designed as a companion book to his critically-acclaimed monograph South Central (Nazraeli Press, 2006), Mark Steinmetz here turns his focus to Athens and Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis and East Tennessee, and the roads between. Highly regarded for his black-and-white portraits, Steinmetz is renowned for producing powerful pictures which capture the strong sense of displacement and isolation that is felt by many young Americans. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This first printing of South East is limited to 1,000 copies. It opens with an introduction by Peter Galassi, chief curator of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Nazraeli Press, 2008. Hardcover 80 pp., 67 duotone illustrations., 12 x 13".

Hardcover. Condition: New. There is a bump in one corner of this book Ops Opis Published by Nazraeli Press Signed by the Photographer Following the success of our previous three oversized monographs by Ron van Dongen, we are delighted to announce this fourth publication of his gorgeous, large-scale botanical still lifes. Superbly printed in duotone, hardbound, and covered in Japanese green cloth, Ops Opis presents a new selection of the artist's utterly seductive images. The focal point of van Dongen's lens ranges from the mouth-wateringly perfect bunch of grapes, to the glorious exuberance of flowers in full bloom and the daintier, more demure floral specimens. He shows us that plants are delicate and resourceful, decorative and essential, and temptingly tactile while commanding respect. But perhaps above all, he presents them as things of great beauty to linger over and enjoy. Born in Venezuela, Ron van Dongen grew up in Holland, where he studied Health Science and Biology before moving on to study Photography in San Francisco. He now lives in Portland, Oregon, where he grows and nurtures the plants that he so elegantly portrays. Van Dongen's work has been widely exhibited in the United States, Europe and Asia, and is housed in many important collections worldwide. Introduction and interview with the artist by Jane Jackson. Hardcover, slipcased, 14 x 17, 56 pages, 32 duotone plates. ISBN 1-59005-096-7.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Signed by the Photographer The land wears its furrows the way a lion wears the bars of a cage. The picture is the record of a hard lesson taught by an unforgiving landscape. Properly considered, such scenes can teach us our place in the creation. What could be more beautiful than a landscape larger than our ideas 'What is more beautiful than a brutally honest face.' From the introduction by Richard Manning, 'Don Kirby grew up turning the surface of the earth upside down, the son of a sharecropper in northwestern Missouri. A half century later, he has emerged as the preeminent photographer of wheat country, a master of both his medium and chosen subject matter. Kirby's sweeping, geometric photographs of wheatfields in the American Northwest manage to convey both a sense of wonder and a deep understanding of the land our dependence on it for our survival, and its own survival of the uses and abuses we impose upon it.' The artist's first monograph, Wheatcountry is printed in a first edition of 2,000 casebound copies. The forty plates are beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper, accompanied by essays from Richard Manning and Jay Dusard. Don Kirby's photographs have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. ISBN: 1-59005-001-0 Hardcover, 12 x 12, 72 pages, 40 duotone plates.
