Hardcover. Condition: New. Joseph Mills is the subject and guest-editor of Witness Number 5, the successful artist-edited series published by JGS, Inc and distributed by Nazraeli Press. For his contribution to the Witness series 'in which one artist is selected for each volume to present their own work as well as work by other artists' Mills presents his vintage street photographs, culminating in a special selection of his famed 'Inner City' work with an accompanying essay by Paul Roth. Witness Number 5 closes with a presentation of work Mary Del Popolo ('Self?') and Norman Carr ('Schizopolis'). Designed from cover to cover by Joseph Mills, and featuring full-bleeds and an extended gatefold, this is a jaw-dropping volume that has to be seen to be believed. "On one level these are documentary photographs, depicting the capital city of the United States, downtown Washington, D.C., in a period of decline between 1982 and 1989. But they are more than that. The restless streets seem envisioned rather than recorded; emblematic of a psychic state more than of a specific place or historical moment. Mills Inner City is empathic in nature, suffused with the hope and desperation radiating from the people whose lives pass before his lens." Paul Roth Hardcover, 9 1/2 x 12, 84 pages, 60 four-color plates ISBN: 1-59005-235-8.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Lee Friedlander (illustrator). "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. "Every family is a culture unto itself, a province with its own history and borders. It is defined in part by that history, carrying its past weight and bound by a promise to do better by it in the future. Both tenses, past and present, are the family?s to carry forward." Stuart O'Sullivan. Born in 1971 in Johannesburg, South Africa, Stuart O'Sullivan lives and works in New York City. His first book, How Beautiful This Place Can Be (Nazraeli Press, 2005) dealt with re-visiting his homeland after a decade in the United States. From the perspective of distance and time, he realized just what an 'isolated paradise' his family had occupied and he reflected on their place within the new, rapidly changing social and political climate. We are pleased to present his second monograph, A Shared History, which takes as its theme the history of his wife Dionicia's family. Her late grandfather's family were Quakers who migrated to this country in the 1700s. They were among the founding members of the state of Pennsylvania, and their history is long and detailed. His family estate, in which Dionicia?s grandmother still lives, is a fortress containing much of this history, and a ripe subject for O'Sullivan's uncanny ability to bring us all home again. ISBN: 978-1-59005-248-8 Hardcover, 13 x 14, 64 pages, 43 four-color 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.

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. The publication of "Paul Outerbridge: New Color Photographs from Mexico and California, 1948-1955" marks the discovery of a previously unknown and unpublished body of work by one of America?s earliest masters of color photography. Outerbridge built his extraordinary reputation by making virtuoso carbro-color prints of nudes and still lifes, mainly in the studio, during the 1930s. In the late 1940s and 1950s he took his camera to the streets, crossing the border between California and Mexico and photographing the people and places he found. In the tradition of such photographers as Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Anton Bruehl, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, all of whom made significant photographic forays into Mexico, Outerbridge ventured south in his 1949 black Cadillac, frequenting the seaport towns along the Baja peninsula. Shooting in bold, luminous Kodachrome, his photographs explore the quirkiness of 1950s leisure culture and examine the blending of two interwoven societies at a distinctive time in history. From governors to gauchos, and from stevedores to bathing beauties, Outerbridge captured the humanity, and occasionally the absurdity, of people as they gathered at weddings, pool parties, and picture spots. As brilliant and innovative today as when they were made, these images demonstrate a breathtaking mastery of the new art of color photography, and Outerbridge's characteristic style and dramatic use of color anticipated the work of photographers who strove a quarter of a century later to develop a similar, bold new color vocabulary. The publication of this forgotten body of photographs includes an introduction by Outerbridge biographer Graham Howe and a preface and essay by curators William Ewing and Phillip Prodger. ISBN: 978-1-59005-261-7 Hardcover, 12 x 13, 88 pages, 50 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. 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. Robert Adams - The question of Hope The question of hope is especially urgent because of environmental threats. One such peril, deforestation, is the subject of the first half of this book, where pictures of it suggest a war zone. The subject of the second half of the book, light on the sea, might initially seem disconnected from the first, but in combination they have about them what Samuel Johnson once called 'the stability of truth,' in this case a recognizable balance of harsh facts and dateless, mysterious consolation. Robert Adams has studied both elements 'our failed stewardship and the promise implied by beauty' across much of the American West. He has over the years also photographed them near where he lives on the Oregon coast, and it is this local caring that gives The Question of Hope much of its intensity. Published in association with the Portland Art Museum, this important new monograph is beautifully printed on Japanese art paper in a first edition of 1,000 copies. It includes a text by Adams, and an essay by Julia Dolan, Minor White Curator of Photography at the Portland Art Museum. Hardcover: 8.5 x 9.5 inches 56 Pages, 40 duotone plates Publisher: Nazraeli Press ISBN-13: 9781590053829.

This place, where the American Dream comes to a screeching halt, counts the many feral cats and dogs as victims of this unforgiving landscape in California?s Central Valley. The feral cats, in particular, are also silent witnesses to an unending cycle of human desperation and neglect. The Lion King is dying, yet he paces, proud and mournful.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Hardback. Condition: New. â This book is an early vignette from Michael Kennaâ s far-reaching photographic odyssey. Some of these photographs, made almost forty years ago, are familiar, even famous, but many have never been seen before. They have been lying in wait, stored in a series of negative files. Normally, Kenna travels extensively and is not able to keep up with printing his extensive collection of negatives. It took the Covid pandemic and lockdown for him to search through his archives, rediscover these long-forgotten images, and print them in his darkroom. These photographs reveal a Northern England from Kennaâ s youth that, for the most part, no longer exists.â â " From the Introduction\n\nMichael Kenna was born in the small industrial town of Widnes in northwest England. The youngest of six children, Kenna grew up in a poor, working-class, Irish-Catholic family. He attended a seminary school for seven years with the intention of becoming a priest, after which he studied at the Banbury School of Art and later at the London College of Printing, before moving to the USA in the late seventies.\n\nThe adjoining counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, where Kenna photographed in the early eighties, have much in common regarding their industrial development. Fiercely competitive, they share a border, a spine of mountains known locally as the Pennines, which helps to produce rain. The rise of a powerful cotton and wool industry, and the building of innumerable mills, canals, railways, chimneys and terraced worker houses, have been attributed in part to these high levels of precipitation. The local textile industry proliferated until the second half of the twentieth century, when there was a sudden, rapid decline and eventual decimation. It was during this precise time period that Kenna returned to the area to photograph, during the day and also at night.\n\nKennaâ s early photographs of England launched his career and brought him international acclaim; yet it wasnâ t until last year, 2020, that he revisited this particular body of work to find many unprinted images. These discoveries are exquisitely presented in this important new Nazraeli Press monograph, Northern England 1983â "1986.\n\nBeautifully printed on a natural textured art paper, accompanied by an introductory text by Dr. Ian B Glover, the seventy-five plates are reproduced in quadratone and bound into cotton cloth-covered boards reminiscent of the era.\n\nISBN: 978-1-59005-544-2\nHardcover, cloth, 10 x 13 inches, 96 pages, 75 plates.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Witness #4 Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez For this fourth volume in the Witness series, Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez present photographs taken in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico where for over twenty years they have focused on the metamorphosis of the vernacular domestic architecture of the region. The husband and wife team's selection for this volume is comprised of 'Sections of Time,' a voluminous on-going project where the same dwellings are photographed from the same spot over a number of years, bearing witness to how the structures are affected by seasonal changes and the passage of time. The fascination that del Valle and Gomez have with these houses has come to epitomize their own transformation as first generation immigrants - and like the houses they photograph, they, too, have had to adapt, change and evolve in order to surivive. Witness Number 4 closes with a presentation of work by two other Cuban-American photographers who, like del Valle and Gomez, witnessed the start of the Cuban revolution in the late 1950s and who also emigrated to the United States in the early '60s: Tony Mendoza and Abelardo Morell.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Martin Parr Witness #3 Now out of Print Martin Parr is the subject and guest-editor of Witness Number 3, the successful new series published by JGS, Inc and distributed by Nazraeli Press. For his contribution to the series - in which one artist is selected for each volume to present their own work as well as work by other artists - Parr unleashes his scorching humor in the series, 'Art World,' photographs made at art gallery and museum openings which reveal more about the art world than some may be comfortable with. This highly entertaining body of work is tempered by the somewhat gentler look at Sri Lanka, made in collaboration with Susie Parr, called 'Little England.' Together, Martin Parr's photographs and Susie Parr's text create a verbal and visual snapshop of Nuwara Eliya, a hill town lying some 6,000 feet above sea level in the heart of Sri Lanka. Parr rounds out his volume of Witness with a section called 'Three Ways to Make a Book,' which documents how photographers Rob Hornstra, Mark Neville, and Bart Sorgedrager were able to self-publish and distribute their own books; a presentation of portfolios by Japanes photographers Keizo Kitajama, Kohei Yoshiyuki, and OSamu Kanemura; and an interview with Parr conducted by Gerry Badger.

Hardcover. Condition: New. On Edge is Karin Apollonia Muller's second monograph, and the first to be published by Nazraeli Press. While Angels in Fall (2001) dealt with the disconnect between human beings and their environment, On Edge shows the earth ?crumbling away?, and our futile efforts to control or hide the subtle invasion of nature into cultivated spaces. Working in color with a muted palette and low contrast, Muller creates powerful images which evoke a sense of displacement in keeping with the artist's 'visitor status' as a foreigner in Los Angeles. Born in Heidelberg in 1963, Muller grew up as the daughter of a sea captain. She studied photography and film at the University of Essen before moving to the western United States in 1995. Karin Apollonia Muller's work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe, and is included in such collections as The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum, New York; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. On Edge is beautifully printed on matt art paper, bound in cloth wrapped in transluscent paper. This first printing is limited to 500 copies. ISBN: 978-1-59005-239-6 Hardcover, 12 x 15, 48 pages, 31 four-color plates.

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.

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.

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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Mark Steinmetz (illustrator). 2020 Reprint of this modern classic. Highly 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. Renowned for his modest yet powerful photographs that capture the sense of displacement and isolation felt by many young Americans, Mark Steinmetz photographed in and around Knoxville, Tennessee to create the work that makes up South Central. The title of the book is derived from the South Central Bell telephone company that serves Knoxville, and their public payphones are a recurring theme in this work; an iconic reminder of the area?s socio-economic condition. The artist possesses an uncanny ability to pull folly, aggression and tenderness through his lens simultaneously, and delivers with this book a powerful and touching visual novel of the human condition. Beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper, South Central is printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies. Mark Steinmetz is a Guggenheim Fellow. His work is included 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. Hardcover, 12 x 13, 72 pages, 57 duotone plates.
