Acetate dust jacket protected by thin plastic film. From the publisher: "This deluxe album, a selection of the finest photographs from Richard Misrach's acclaimed Golden Gate series (previously published in a smaller trim size, now out of print), has been assembled for publication on the historic occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the iconic bridge. In 1997 Misrach began a three-year project photographing the Golden Gate Bridge at all times of day and night, in every season, from a single vantage point on his front porch. Within this simple framework, in which the subject and its framing remain fixed in every photograph, an alchemy occurs. An astonishing range of atmosphere, light, and color unfolds, bringing fresh revelation and interpretation to a familiar view -- a unique and beautiful photographic meditation on place and time. This special album commemorates one of the most iconic and lasting symbols of American progress and ingenuity. Richard Misrach (born in Los Angeles, 1949) is credited with helping pioneer the renaissance of color photography and large-scale presentation in the 1970s. He has exhibited extensively, and his work is held in the permanent collections of prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Art Institute of Chicago. He is a recipient of numerous awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2011, Misrach's series Destroy This Memory (Aperture, 2010) was installed in its entirety at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art along with simultaneous exhibitions of his work at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Oakland Museum of California. Misrach is represented by Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco; Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York; and Marc Selwyn Fine Art, Los Angeles. He lives in Berkeley, California." Signed by Author. Signed.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: fine. First Edition, First Printing. The Hampton Project brings together photographs from Frances B. Johnston's stunning Hampton Album of 1900 with a related series of images by renowned contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems. This remarkable book examines the work of two women, distanced by time and race, yet joined by their shared interest in a unique educational experience. For twenty years, Carrie Mae Weems has made powerful artwork--often with a fiercely ironic sensibility- from complex social observations. In The Hampton Project, she knits her concerns about individual identity, class, assimilation, education, and the legacy of slavery into a series of photographic banners that force viewers to reassess their own moral and ethical boundaries, as well as the political and socioeconomic realities of twentieth-century America. Aperture, 2001. Hardcover in tanslucent dust jacket. First Editon, First Printing (with the full numberline ending in 1). 12 x 9 inches. 96 pages with numerous photographic images throughout.

As New in As New dust jacket (opened only for signature). From the publisher: "Stark, impassioned, and singularly intense, the work of the itinerant and fiercely independent Czech photographer Josef Koudelka has received deserved acclaim over the past three decades for having made a uniquely significant contribution to the language of photography. This major new monograph presents the most comprehensive survey of Koudelka's work to date, bringing together more than 150 of his most eloquent images -- from his earliest, many published here for the first time, to his most recent: mesmerizing studies of the European landscape made with a panoramic camera. Whether photographing Prague's avant-garde theater scene in the 1960s, the secretive world of the Eastern European gypsies, Czech resistance to the Soviet advance on Prague, or the environmental degradation of our postindustrial world, Koudelka has consistently produced transformative images that stand outside of time and place. In the words of the legendary French photography-world figure and Koudelka's longtime champion and publisher, Robert Delpire, 'Koudelka brings an intense eye and full heart to each place, object, and person. This work proves once again that he is a photographer with unique personality and power.' Beautifully produced with duotone printing and three gatefolds, this volume also contains eight original essays, each exploring a different aspect of Koudelka's work and illustrating the artist's constant evolution and intensity."

INSCRIBED/SIGNED by Josef Koudelka "To Bob / Josef" on the half title. BOOK CONDTION: Fine; a tight, clean copy in a Fine dust jacket. SIGNED Koudelka's follow-up to Gypsies is a study of the physical and spiritual state of exile, investigating the lives of people in that situation, for one reason or another. Koudelka's brilliant photographs are nearly mythical in their portrayal of what John Szarkowski calls "the prototypical rituals." Nobel Prize-winning author Czeslaw Milosz contributes a stirring text, speaking vividly to the soul in search of a spiritual homeland. Signed.

Stark, impassioned, and singularly intense, Josef Koudelka's work has received deserved acclaim over the past three decades as a uniquely significant contribution to the language of photography. Koudelka is the first book to present over 150 of his most eloquent images in a single volume, from his earliest?published here for the first time?to the most recent panoramic landscape studies. Whether photographing avant-garde theater, gypsies throughout Eastern Europe, resistance to Soviet guns and tanks advancing on Prague, or the environmental degradation of a postindustrial world, Koudelka has consistently produced transformative images that stand outside time and place. In the words of Robert Delpire, the artist's longtime champion and publisher, "Koudelka brings an intense eye and full heart to each place, object, and person. This work proves once again that he is a photographer with unique personality and power." Each of the contributing essayists explores a different aspect of Koudelka's work, illustrating his constant evolution and intensity. Signed.

[First edition by White Star Press cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume III. (London and New York: Phaidon, 2014)]. New in publisher's packaging. Book and print in flawless condition. From the publisher: "Doug Rickard's A New American Picture offers a startling and fresh perspective on American street photography. All of the images are appropriated from Google Street View; over a period of two years,Rickard took advantage of the technology platform's comprehensive image archive to virtually drive the unseen and overlooked roads of America, bleak places that are forgotten, economically devastated, and abandoned.With an informed and deliberate eye, Rickard finds and decodes these previously photographed scenes of urban and rural decay. The photograph included in the set, entitled #33.665001, Atlanta, GA (2007) (2010), is a reflection of forgotten America. Rickard re-photographed the Google Street View image from his computer, creating a dissolved painterly aesthetic that veils the subject's individual identity and making him an archetype for the youth living in these areas. Rickard calls upon the masters of the street-photography tradition--such as Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Stephen Shore--while setting a precedent for a new kind of image-making in an increasingly hi-tech world. Doug Rickard (born in San Jose, California, 1968) studied U.S. history and sociology at the University of California, San Diego. He is the founder ofAmerican Suburb X and These Americans, websites that aggregate essays on contemporary photography and historical photographic archives.In 2011, his series A New American Picture was included in the annual New Photography exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His work is represented in New York by the Yossi Milo Gallery and by Stephen Wirtz Gallery in San Francisco." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Limited edition of 300 slipcased copies signed in black ink on the first page by Model (this copy is not numbered). [This edition does not include the silver print, which was originally included with the edition.] Hardcover. Gray cloth with title debossed in black on spine, in gray cloth slipcase printed on the front with a facsimile of Model's autograph in dark gray. Photographs by Lisette Model. Preface by Berenice Abbott. Includes chronology, bibliography and exhibition history. Designed by Marvin Israel. 112 pp., with approximately 60 large black and white plates, including several two-page spreads. 15-3/4 x 12-1/2 inches.

Very scarce. Near Fine (rippled cloth on slipcase, else Fine in the publisher's original printed cardboard shipping box). The landmark publication of Model's work, from the 1930s to the 1970s, features her best-known, incisive images of humanity, from tourists on the Cote d'Azur and high-society New Yorkers, to entertainers, to outcasts, and more. From the preface by Berenice Abbott: "I know of no photographer who has photographed people as inwardly as Lisette Model. Her people are direct targets of an artist's vision. She has that necessary rapport with the human species of whatever hue or faction. She is very much at home with all kinds of people. She feels for them and understands them. Sensitivity and tenderness predominate so that the camera finger is on their very pulse. She is concerned about them, and allows them to speak for themselves.It is a large order to look at life unblinkingly in the midst of general confusion. I believe Lisette Model's seeing places her in the foreground of an elite group. She is part of no cult nor fad. She is always herself. Hers is the fearless eye. Lisette has said, 'Don't shoot 'till the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach.' She does not shrink from reality. She meets it head on. Concerned with art, the subject is lost. Concerned with the subject, art is found. This is Lisette Model." Signed by Author.
