Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 80 pages. Published in 1999. Collection of color photographs. One of the most important art photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. T…he First Edition is now scarce. An elegant production by Esko Mannikko and Petri Kuokka: Oversize-volume format. Sturdy pale blue pictorial hard boards with photographic reproduction pasted on cover and metallic-silver titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Esko Mannikko. Essays by Maaretta Jaukkuri and Gary Michael Dault. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Finland to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Esko Mannikko's "Mexas". Photographs of Batesville and San Antonio, Texas. All of the American subjects are of Mexican descent. Hence Mannikko's clever conflation, "Mexas". Mannikko's lifelong subject, the decline of agrarian life, of rural Finland, is tenderly mirrored by the decline of rural America in this collection. It is off-putting, even depressing, something people say they do not want in their lives, as if it were ugly or toxic, an accusation that the American writer Annie Proulx had to endure all the way to "Brokeback Mountain". This is ironic because Mannikko's work breathes whereas most contemporary art and photography are lifeless exercises in Mannerist cleverness. Mannikko is a Classicist, a rarity in our shallow "post-modern" art world. It is important to be reminded that in a world saturated and choking with derivative images from glossy magazines, he is The Real Thing, a great artist: His impeccable compositional sense and formalist use of color as well as his aesthetic rigor and faultless eye are not just "world-class". They set Mannikko apart from other living photographers, and make him an artist in a class of his own. Mainstream recognition of his genius is long overdue. An absolute "must-have" title for Esko Mannikko collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Esko Mannikko. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great photography book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 50 color plates. Esko Mannikko's "Naarashauki: The Female Pike" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ESKO MANNIKKO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 952910703X. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 80 pages. Published in 2003. Collection of color photographs. One of the most beautiful photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. Priva…tely commissioned, the book was not widely distributed or sold. The First Edition is now rare. An elegant production by Esko Mannikko and Petri Kuokka: Oversize-volume format. Sturdy brown leatherette pictorial hard boards with photographic reproduction pasted on cover and pale blue titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Esko Mannikko. Essay by Segre Simona. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Finland to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Commissioned by The Ballantyne Cashmere Company as a commemorative photographic record. Presents Esko Mannikko's "100% Cashmere". Photographs of the Scottish factory workers of Ballantyne Cashmere in Innerleithen, Scotland. "Made In Scotland" cashmere is regarded as the finest cashmere in the world, just as cashmere itself is regarded as one of the most beautiful fabrics ever invented by Man. The words "sheer" and "pure" come to mind when one speaks of cashmere. Like genuine cotton and silk, the finished product is 100% handmade, every sweater a product of an artisanal tradition, and a labor of love. Esko Mannikko's focus is on place and people. In "Mexas", he showed how the place is characterized by its Mexican-American inhabitants, and vice versa. He does the same here, with quiet yet brilliant effect: The suite of various workers whose lips perilously hold a needle from which a colorful thread hangs amounts to one of the most moving portraiture in contemporary art photography. Most photography is inherently about travel, comfort, leisure, sensuality, relaxation, and luxury. There are very few great photography books (Bill Owens' "Working" comes to mind) about work. Mannikko is an exemplary anomaly: His work thus far is about work, specifically work that is deeply connected to rural land. Even when he is abroad, his interest there is in the place's roots, craft, and centuries-old traditions. Mannikko's lifelong subject, the decline of rural Finland, is off-putting, even depressing, something people say they do not want in their lives, as if it were ugly or toxic (an accusation that the American writer Annie Proulx had to endure all the way to "Brokeback Mountain"). This is ironic because Mannikko's work breathes whereas most contemporary art and photography are lifeless exercises in Mannerist cleverness. Mannikko is a Classicist, a rarity in our shallow "post-modern" art world. It is important to be reminded that in a world saturated and choking with derivative images from glossy magazines, he is The Real Thing, a great artist: His impeccable compositional sense and formalist use of color as well as his aesthetic rigor and faultless eye are not just "world-class". They set Mannikko apart from other living photographers, and make him an artist in a class of his own. Mainstream recognition of his genius is long overdue.

Signiert von Esko Männikkö! Neu, ungelesen, verlagsfrisch. Noch original-verschweisst in der Plastikfolie des Verlags; nur einmal geöffnet für die Signatur. Erstes Buch von Männikkö. 4 (!) Jahre bevor "The female pike" erschien (2000). Hardcover (wie erschienen). 290 x 230 mm. 131 Seiten. Perfekter Zustand! Signiert vom Künstler! Sammler-Exemplar! Im Norden Finnlands, genauer gesagt in der Gegend zwischen den Wäldern Lapplands und dem ländlichen Ostbottnien, liegen die Orte, an denen die Farbfotografien des finnischen Künstlers Esko Männikkö (geb. 1959) entstehen: »Kuhmo«, »Sodankylä«, »Kuivaniemi« u.a. sind zugleich die Titel seiner Werke. Die Verortung ist hier wichtig, aber nicht im Sinne einer regionalen Eingrenzung, sondern als Ausdruck der Teilhabe an einer Lebenswelt. Denn Esko Männikkö kennt, was er fotografiert und er fotografiert, was ihm vertraut ist. Er ist ein Dokumentarist, aber einer, der teilnimmt. Esko Männikkös Werk umfaßt Stilleben von Vögeln und Fischen (er selbst ist ein begeisterter Fischer), panoramaartige Landschaftsaufnahmen und Fotografien von Waldarbeitern, Jägern, Fischern und Arbeitslosen, die in abgelegenen Gegenden ein zumeist einsiedlerisches Leben führen. Er zeigt diese Menschen in ihrem häuslichen Ambiente mit der sie umgebenden, von ihnen geschaffenen Dingwelt, ohne Pose oder Exaltation - vielmehr still, distanziert und würdevoll, durchtränkt von einer unveräußerlichen Besonderheit, die jedem Menschen eigen ist und die doch erst in einem dialogischen Blickwechsel zutage tritt. Alte, auf das jeweilige Bild abgestimmte Bilderrahmen verleihen den Aufnahmen einen malerischen und zugleich zeitlosen Charakter. Die Ausstellung im Portikus war mit über 40 Werken die erste große Ausstellung von Esko Männikkö. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1600.
