2002 Fall Catalogue
Volume 24, Number 3, August 2002
The monsoons have begun in Santa Fe, signalizing the approach of Fall. Accompanying the rain is a deluge of important
new photography books, including the long-awaited Sam Abell retrospective, The Photographic Life (p. 5). As we go to press,
the first anniversary of 9/11 rapidly approaches. In tribute, we are proud to offer several distinctive books, particularly The
Twin Towers: An Elegy (p. 22). An online exhibition of the work in the book is now at photoeye.com/Twin Towers. This
Fall, Arena Editions will publish a major monograph on Czech photographer Jan Saudek; we’ve taken the opportunity to
interview Saudek about his work, which appears on page 15. And while in Prague this past July, giving a lecture about her
own photography, Debbie Fleming Caffery made a portrait of Saudek specifically for the article. The cover image for this
issue, Georgia O’Keeffe—Hands and Grapes 1921 © Alfred Stieglitz, National Gallery of Art, Washington, Alfred Stieglitz
Collection, comes from The Key Set, a new two-volume set on Stieglitz’s work. To order any book, call 800-227-6941, or
email [email protected]. Sale prices good through 11/30/2002. Signed books are limited in quantity; please order early!
Alfred Stieglitz: The Key Set
Text by Sarah Greenough.
Towering over the fields of art and photography of the 20th century—as a promoter,
practitioner and publisher—Alfred Stieglitz requires little by way of introduction.
Numerous volumes of his photographs and writings have been published along with
critical commentary on his gallery activities, including last year’s Modern Art and America
(Cat# BF163H $75). This new two-volume boxed set is the definitive catalogue of the Alfred
Stieglitz Collection of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Donated by
Georgia O’Keeffe, artist and widow of the photographer, it is the most comprehensive
Stieglitz holding in existence, numbering 1,642 photographs. No library is complete without this
magnificent set. Abrams, New York, 2002. 1100 pp., 1734 duotones and 29 color illustrations, 9¾×12¾ ″.

William Eggleston’s Guide
Text by John Szarkowski.
William Eggleston’s Guide was the first one-man show of color photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum’s first publication
of color photography. The work in the Guide was made between 1969 and 1971, edited to a mere 48 powerful images. It was largely through Eggleston’s efforts that color
photography came to be accepted among the bastions of fine-art collectors. Since
that time, Eggleston’s deceptively informal gaze has influenced a subsequent generation of image-makers. This facsimile edition uses entirely new color separations from
the original 35mm slides. MoMA, New York, 2002. 112 pp., 48 color illustrations, 9×9″.

Terri Weifenbach and John Gossage: Snake Eyes
Signed! It would be well-nigh impossible to overstate the beauty of this book, as it would
be to overstate Weifenbach’s embrace of the beautiful in her work. She moves calmly and
deliberately among the gardens and roads of the tiny Italian town she has taken as subject.
Then along comes Mr. Gossage, her husband and complete photographic antithesis. The
two photographers appear, he states in the introduction, “it would seem, and in the
extreme, to not hold the same views.” Yet reconciliation is actualized; the counter-point provided by Gossage’s rich black-and-white “clues”—discovered first here, now there—are perfectly chosen, commenting on Weifenbach’s rich color images, as hers discuss his. The pairing is exquisite. Again, one cannot overstate the beauty and importance of a dialogue such
as this. Only 500 copies were printed, each with an original color print tipped onto the
cover. Washington D.C., 2002. Unpaged, 33 color and 53 duotones, 13½×18 ″.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Architecture of Time
Sugimoto is widely considered to be one of the most important photographers working today. His Theatres—a gorgeous quadtone, slipcased volume—was awarded Best
Monograph of 2001 by photo-eye. Architecture of Time serves as a catalogue to a major
exhibition of his work at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh, reproducing three of his
ongoing series: Architecture, Seascapes, and Pinetrees (we know of no other publication
of his Pinetree images). Though subject matter varies widely, Sugimoto’s work is consistent both visually and conceptually. Speaking about the architectural work,
Sugimoto has said, “I'm trying to recreate the imaginative visions of the architecture
before the architect built the building, so that I can trace back the original vision from
the finished product.” Bregenz, 2002. 120 pp., 13 color and 32 black-and-white illustrations, 11½×12½″.

Richard Avedon: Portraits
Text by Maria Morris Hambourg, Mia Fineman, and Richard Avedon.
“You can’t get at the thing itself, the real nature of the sitter, by
stripping away the surface. The surface is all you’ve got. You can
only get beyond the surface by working with the surface.”—
Richard Avedon. As obvious as it may seem, this statement forms
the philosophical core of Avedon’s approach to photography, and sets
the standard many photographers have striven to uphold during the latter half of the
twentieth century. Avedon’s mastery of craft and the ability to minimize the extraneous has yielded some of the
most mesmerizing portraits of this century. Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York, this gem of a book contains 50 tritone reproductions all neatly packaged as an accordion-fold folio. Abrams, New York, 2002. 64 pp., 50 tritone illustrations, 8¼×10¼″.

William Klein: Paris + Klein
Simply put, William Klein is a legend. The American expatriate who has called Paris
home for almost 50 years was commissioned by the Maison European de la
Photographie to create a portrait of the city that has seen revolution and radicalism in
its most extreme forms. Klein’s forte is the urban theatre that just such a city creates. His
first monograph, published in 1956 and entitled Life is Good & Good For You in New York
is a stunning masterpiece. It seems inevitable, in hindsight, that he would finally address
his chosen city of exile. “I’ve noticed that in general the Paris of photographers...was
romantic, foggy and above all, ethnically homogenous,” Klein writes in Paris + Klein. “But
for me, Paris was, as much as and perhaps more than New York, a melting pot. A cosmopolitan city, multicultural and totally multiethnic, whatever Le Pen thinks.” Paris,
2002. 336 pp., numerous black-and-white and color illustrations, 9×11″.

Hunting (Cat# TR077H), which photo-eye named “Best First Monograph” this past Spring.
His large-format color photographs of suburbia are made almost exclusively at night,
transforming familiar landscapes into eerie, mysterious spaces. Outskirts opens with
an introduction by writer Luc Sante and was designed as a companion volume to
House Hunting; it is oversized and exquisitely printed. The deluxe edition of 25 copies
comes with an original print, numbered and signed by the artist and is presented in a

desert—the places where the glory lived: Heart Butte, Little Bighorn, Rosebud,
White River, Gila River, San Carlos, Standing Rock, Lame Deer, Pine Ridge. He has
photographed Sioux and Cheyenne, Apache, Tohono O'odham. In fidelity to, and
in the context of their ancient places, his subjects preserve a hard-worn dignity.
Clear your eyes and look.”—Larry McMurtry. This major project presents a side of
America that is unknown to most of us. For anyone with connections to our First
Nation communities, they will recognize the brilliance and honesty with which he
portrays the people, particularly the youth. The slipcased edition is signed and numbered to 100. The deluxe edition of 50 copies comes in a clamshell box with an original print, also signed and numbered by the artist. Twin

Naoya Hatakeyama
This marvelous new monograph presents a generous sampling of Hatakeyama’s
entire oeuvre, and gives a clear indication of why he enjoys such widespread critical acclaim within his home country of Japan. Hatakeyama’s work, when viewed
from a certain overarching perspective, is about the transformation of rock—
limestone in particular. His photographs of lime quarries and factories are formal
gems while his Blast images—photographs of detonations in quarries—are mesmerizing in their intensity. Limestone is also a major ingredient in cement, a fact
which provides the link to his Underground and River Series, both shot in the
heart of Tokyo. Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern, 2002. 132 pp., 72 color illustrations, 11×9¾ ″.

Sam Abell: The Photographic Life
Text by Leah Bendavid-Val.
Signed! For 30 years Sam Abell has been a cornerstone of the National
Geographic photography team, but his image-making odyssey began when he
was just ten years old. This much-anticipated new book illustrates how rich his
photographic life has been and how integral photography is to how he exists in
the world. Organized into several distinct sections, the book opens with a
superb essay by photo-historian Leah Bendavid-Val, followed by selections from
Abell’s black-and-white photo diary (an on-going parallel activity to his
Geographic assignments). Chapters entitled Seeking the Picture, The Photography
of Places, and The Life Behind Things follow. Part autobiography, part retrospective, The Photographic Life is wellconceived and exemplary in content and form. Rizzoli, New York, 2002. 260 pp., 200 b&w and color illus., 11½×10¼″.

Flor Garduño: Inner Light
Flor Garduño’s intense black-and-white work from the remote regions of Central
and South America has garnered well-deserved praise. The eminent Mexican writer
Carlos Fuentes, quoting Socrates, has offered “the moving portrait of eternity” as a
description of her work. In this new volume, from leading art publisher Bulfinch
Press, one finds an equally stunning body of more personal work: sensual female
nudes and classical still lifes. This work was created in and around her homes in
Mexico and Switzerland, in which she proves to be a master of natural light.

Kahn & Selesnick: Scotlandfuturebog
Text by Ben Marcus.
Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick have been photographic collaborators for the past 10 years. A new
Aperture monograph has just been published and a travelling exhibition is now underway featuring their postapocalyptic photographs. “It could be said that the bleak
world of the bogdwellers is an eden, a paradise, a return to man's nature state before the fall, but this would fail to
portray the infinite darkness that permeates the brooding silences of their world. In fact the bogdwellers resemble
nothing so much as a people waiting for the apocalypse to be visited upon them, left mute in the face of its
exorable descent.”—from the exhibition. This impressive book, the first on their work, is superbly printed and
comes housed in a cloth slipcase. The limited edition comes with an archival digital print, pictured here. Aperture,

Terri Weifenbach: Lana
Whereas her first two monographs were clearly about place, but not rooted to a specific
location, Weifenbach’s latest monograph, Lana, is thoroughly situated in a particular locale,
a town of the same name resting in the South Tyrol mountains of Italy. Weifenbach has
never shied from the beautiful; her images celebrate natural color and through the use of
selective focus she distills scenes and plants to their essential aspects. She embodies the
ideal role of the artist working in nature, allowing the manifold of sensory perceptions to filter through her mind, translating this materia prima into her own graceful language. This is
brilliant work and a gorgeous book. The limited edition is signed, numbered and has a color
print tipped onto the cover. Nazraeli, Tucson, 2002. 72 pp., 35 color illustrations, 9×12″.

Boris Mikhailov: Salt Lake
Emerging from post-Soviet Ukraine, Mikhailov has steadily gained international acclaim for his documentary work of Ukrainian life both before and
after the collapse of the Iron Curtain, culminating with his acceptance of
the Hasselblad award for 2000. Salt Lake, a body of work from the mid1980s, is both tragic and comic in its portrayal of the locals bathing—as
though at a spa—in the refuse ponds of soda water factories in the
Slavjansk region. Hardly medicinal, though rumored to be due to the high
salt content left over from the production of soda water, the ponds are
replenished by large drainage pipes which emerge from the bald and rocky
landscape. Mikhailov is masterful in providing a surreal document of this unusual vacation spot. Steidl Press,
Göttingen, 2002. 80 pp., 65 tritone illustrations, 15¾×11¾ ″.

Bruce Davidson: A Time of Change
Photographs 1960–1965
Text by Congressman John Lewis.
Stunning in their sincerity, steeled in their recognition of the need for action,
and awesome in the depth of their convictions, the protagonists of Davidson’s
images of the Civil Rights Movement are heroes in modern times. Though a
document of a particular time and place, ultimately these images address
America’s most challenging issue—racism. This is a book to spend time with;
imbibe the lessons and apply them today. The ltd. ed. comes with an 8x10 print
(shown here) and the book housed in a slipcase. St. Ann’s Press, Los Angeles,

Two books by Fazal Sheikh:
A Camel for the Son & Ramadan Moon
The power of photography is refulgent in these two books. They stand
on par with such timeless classics as George Rodger’s Village of the
Nuba (Cat# ZB361H) and Gilles Peress’ The Silence (Cat# PK269S). These two
projects address the plight of the Somali people, particularly the abuses born by the women in their war-torn homeland and the struggles of
those who have sought asylum in the Netherlands. Visually, A Camel for
the Son opens with several sweeping photographs of Somali refugee
camps on the Kenyan-Somali border, followed by portraits of women and their children in the camp. Ramadan
Moon is the story of one woman’s difficulties in emigrating to the Netherlands; far from a general condemnation of
government, it addresses the problem by relating a powerful personal story. The books themselves are humble,
serene, and perfectly designed to match the importance of their content, which marries text (including passages
from the Qur’an) and images. Neither the words nor the images are an appurtenance to the other; a model for all
documentary photographers. Nederlands Foto Instituut, Rotterdam, 2001. 124 pp., numerous duotones, 6¾×8½ ″.

Signed! This body of work is, simply stated, incredible. The images are a far cry
from the touristic work of the casual cultural observer, and the color reproductions are absolutely stunning. For ten years, photojournalist Robbins has been
crisscrossing the Himalayan landscape, having first visited the fabled Kingdom of
Mustang in 1992 when the Nepalese government initially opened the centuriesclosed region to small trekking parties. From there, his journeys expanded
throughout the Himalayan range. A visual anthropologist at heart, Robbins’
respect and concern for the region is clearly evident. Seattle, 2002. 128 pp., 62 color illustrations, 10¾×15¼ ″.

Daido Moriyama: 1971/NY
Text by Neville Wakefield. Interview by Andrew Roth.
At the encouragement of book maker and collector Andrew Roth (who has interviewed the artist for this impeccably designed book), Moriyama has reprinted
work from his first visit to New York, a trip that was also his first outside of Japan.
“Coming to New York in 1971 was my first trip to a place that I really had a terrible
yearning towards—I was a little bit like a puppy leaving its mother’s side for the
first time to begin marking out its experience.”—Daido Moriyama. Moriyama is a
seminal figure in Japanese photography and stands as one of the great photographers of our time. His 1972 monograph, Bye, Bye Photography, Dear is a classic volume of raw, experimental image-making. 1971/NY is one of the
important books of the year. Roth Horowitz, New York, 2002. 150 pp., 100 tritone illustrations, 7×9½″.

Jean Gaumy: Men at Sea
Credentials are completely irrelevant when it comes to this work; it does not matter if
Gaumy is a sailor (he is, having spent a great deal at time at sea between 1984 and
1998), nor whether he works as a professional (an eminent photojournalist for both
Gamma and Magnum agencies). The impact of this work, greatly enhanced by the
superb sequencing and design of the book, is awesome. Shot entirely in black-andwhite, Gaumy’s images are rough, in-your-face, and frightening. The seagoing lives of
these commercial fishermen are treacherous, and frugal, and fraught with obvious
danger as they sail the high seas on open-decked trawlers, a boat that is becoming
more and more of a rarity. Passages from Gaumy’s log book punctuate the brilliant
photography. Harry N. Abrams, New York, 2002. 276 pp., 100 b&w illus., 9½×11½″.

Britain should be an ideal territory for
the classic landscape photographer, yet
this land remains one of the most
neglected of subjects. Perhaps it is
therefore appropriate for an outsider,
albeit a passionate Anglophile, to
reveal the more contemplative aspects of the island. Dick
Arentz has made over twenty photographic expeditions to
the British Isles since 1977. The resulting negatives are made
specifically for the late 19th-century platinum/palladium
process, at which the artist is an acknowledged master.

In the brief introduction to this punchy little European publication, Davide

they each use quintessential American iconography, albeit from different eras,
and distill the respective symbols into portraits of a society that has never really
existed, but which is nonetheless believable and desirable on some level. Their
elaborate creations tap into our pseudo-collective fantasies—with Rockwell, a
wholesome life of mid-century America, for LaChapelle, the fabulous, narcissistic life of the 21st century
movie/entertainment star—exposing said fantasy to us in glorious technicolor. Also available, Hotel LaChapelle

figure in contemporary art that focuses on the American South, but whose work rises
above merely portraying a particular region of the US. Many of the issues Christenberry
has grappled with, such as rural displacement, economic stagnation, and racial prejudice,
transcend any particular geographic area. Some of this work is featured in Blind Spot #21

The Photography of Charles Sheeler: American Modernist
Text by Theodore E. Stebbins.
“Charles Sheeler (1883–1965) occupied an essential place in the heart of American
art—both as a painter (a master of the precisionist school) and a photographer.
Beginning in 1915 Sheeler helped define what would become photographic modernism: a precise and factual approach to the real—stripped of pictorial convention—
allowing photography’s unique properties the task of representing objects in the
world. In Sheeler’s own words, photography possesses “an exactitude unequaled by
any other form of expression.” Edward Steichen, speaking for his fellow modernist
photographers, once said of Sheeler, “Well before the rest of us, he was the first to
master objectivity.”—the publisher. This gorgeous new comprehensive monograph
examines his often-neglected photographic oeuvre. Bulfinch, Boston, 2002. 224 pp.,
numerous duotone illustrations, 9×12″.

Gustave Le Gray: 1820–1884
Text by Sylvie Aubenas and Barthelemy Jobert among others.
Gustave Le Gray (1820–1884) is one of the most important French photographers of the 19th century, primarily due to his technical innovations in the stillnew medium, the influence he exerted as teacher of many well-known photographers, and the inexhaustible imagination he brought to image making.
This major exhibition originated at the Bibliothéque Nationale de France, Paris
in the Spring of 2002 and has now arrived at the Getty Museum, who has prepared a sumptuous catalogue. One now has the opportunity to explore Le
Gray's extraordinary career through more than 100 photographs, all made
before 1867, and divided into such groupings as Forest of Fontainebleau, Egypt, and Seascapes. It is the largest exhibition of his work ever held in the United States. Los Angeles, 2002. 402 pp., 237 color and 113 b&w illus., 11¾×9½″.

The Personal Art of David Octavius Hill
Text by Sara Stevenson.
David Octavius Hill (1802–1870) was a pioneer photographer, painter, and lithographer
who, in 1843, entered into a business and artistic partnership with the young photographer Robert Adamson. This relationship lasted a mere four years but yielded a body of
work that remains highly original to this day. Sara Stevenson has researched extensively
for this book, offering an important text that celebrates the life of the man, but also,
more critically, takes into account the highly literate age within which Hill worked as well
as his position and influence in the Scottish art world. This book coincides with a major
bicentenary exhibition at the National Galleries of Scotland. Yale University Press, New
Haven, 2002. 240 pp., 105 black-and-white and 41 color illustrations, 9¼×10¾ ″.

N e w Yo r k
Born in Prague in 1935, Jan Saudek has
achieved international fame for his theatrical
and controversial handcolored photographs of
the nude. His embrace of the pleasures and
pains of the human experience is directly
evident in his work, as is the unencumbered
celebration of all people—young and old, fat
and skinny, healthy and crippled.
Arena Editions has just published a magnificent new volume of his work that showcases
this celebration of all that life offers. I had the
chance to interview Saudek via email and letter,
portions of which are reproduced here. Saudek
is well-known for his love of handwriting, often
bestowing on those with whom he corresponds,
beautiful handcolored letters—such was his
reply to my questions. The full text of the interview and the original letters, in color, are online
at photoeye.com/Saudek.
dh: In reading the essay that James Crump
and John Wood wrote for Realities, I was persuaded to think about the full range of human
experience and emotions and their portrayal in
your photographs. Nothing is exempt from consideration under the gaze of your camera. And
remarkably, this all takes place in the confines of
a single room, against
your famous brick wall
backdrop. Is there a connection between working
in a relatively confined
space (at least in your
later work) and the
broadness of the subject
matter?
JS: Well, I used to
live in that basement,
being relatively poor—
and that cellar was the
only space (studio) I
had. I’ve never forgotten how it was in those
years—and later, when I’m not poor anymore,
I deliberately worked under similar circumstances: old, cheap cameras, one 500 watt light
bulb, any kind of model (I don’t feel [I] have
right to choose).
Never I’d dare to show any philosophy,
complicated messages or morals! All I want to
say is this: we people are beautiful—and this
World is the best place for living. And we are
all equal—and our lives are the last ones.

dh: You often include children and youth in
your photographs. The elusiveness of the line of
demarcation between childhood innocence and
youthful self-awareness is evident in your work.
What is the relationship between these two
states of being and do you consciously explore
that?
JS: I’m led by instinct. Children belong to
this planet as well as other beings—but, people
hate to see the Truth—[meaning] sick, old or
crippled ones. ‘Innocence’ is a strange word—
JAN SAUDEK
© Debbie Fleming Caffery, 2002
An interview with
legendary Czech photographer
does it mean ‘not to be a sinner?’ Childhood
(for me) doesn’t exist as a state of innocence—
nobody is more hostile than many children—
but they’re (physically) weak and can’t hurt
adults in moment of rage, that’s it.
I don’t understand what my photographs
say—I only make them—without any plans or
intentions. It’s up to [the] viewer to see what’s
there.
dh: About sexuality; in the essay, the authors
discuss the fact that our present culture allows
horrific scenes of violence yet forbids celebrating
the beauty and ecstasy of the body. In contrast,
your work is truly a celebration, one in which you
often participate. When did you step in front of
the camera as a participant?
JS: It’s [one’s] duty to stand, sometimes, in
front of the camera—for I’m trying to portray
my life...and it would be cowardly to hide
myself and exploit others—and not include me
in that Theatre of Life...Like
some good singer of blues, I
try to express all the sorrow
of this world—staying cool, a
careful performer of that
song—and that’s how I desire
to be part of [the] photograph which I create. And
sexuality I still consider the

now, compared to my years of youth. Of
course, from surface I’m an old codger. But
(believe me, please) inside I still dream as a
young man. And I keep on dreaming...because
I’m probably the only one photographer in the
world who lives from his photographs and
doesn’t have to work on assignment (several
times I agreed to shoot for some ‘zine or fashion—but never to earn money). I can produce
pix I truly believe in— and I do. It allows me to
be as much sincere as possible—for I don’t have
to care [about] ‘fame’ or critics...P.S. but what I
want to say is: if there’s some strength (in some)
of my images it’s ‘cause I deeply believe in
them.
Have a beautiful day, Sir!

David Travis: At the Edge of Light
For the past three decades, David Travis, Curator of
Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago, has
brought to the field of photography criticism a classical
liberal arts mindset. His knowledge of the history, art
and techniques of photography is unsurpassed, and his
deeply held interest in such fields as mathematics, linguistics, and philosophy brings a much needed breadth
of discourse to a narrowly conceived field that can, at
times, abound with mere blandishments. The book is quite discursive, comprised of seven essays originally offered as lectures. An important volume.

WINOGRAND 1964
This is a fascinating
collection of images and, lurking within it,
there is a great one. But it will be up to you
to find it.
In 1964 Garry Winogrand left New York
in mid-June, driving a black 1957 Ford
Fairlane given to him by his buddy, Lee
Friedlander. Winogrand arrived back in the
city in late October, having driven through 14
states (half the time in just two, California and
Texas) with 550 rolls of black-and-white film
and 100 rolls of Kodachrome. He then edited
the black-and-white work and printed 1,000
images as 11x14 inch prints, and made a
desultory effort to edit the slides.
This project was Winogrand’s answer/
homage to Robert Frank’s The Americans,
published just five years earlier. Even though
Winogrand revered The Americans, he never
came to grips with what makes a photographic
book. Frank was astute, or lucky, enough to
let Robert Delpire, the legendary French picture editor, design and sequence his images.
The result was a masterpiece. Winogrand did
not have such a mentor, and the project never
coalesced.
Now, nearly 40 years later, Trudy Wilner
Stack has compiled hundreds of these 1964
images (including some of the color) from
Winogrand’s archives at The Center for
Creative Photography, most of which have
never been published. This is
useful, and the
images are often
surprising—but it
is not The Americans á la Winogrand. It could have been. If only Winogrand
had hooked up with Delpire in the mid-60s ...
then we might have seen Winogrand eclipsing
Frank as the author of the best road book on
America. Because here is the shocking truth:
there are more great single pictures in
Winogrand 1964 then there are in The
Americans.
So buy the book, copy all the pages and
become your own Delpire, while honing your
editing and sequencing skills, and compile
your own masterpiece.

when first seeing Lee Friedlander’s images. I
wrote that he was “the most significant
photographer of his generation,” for which I
was abused by most of my peers and readers.
Forgive my youthful enthusiasm because,
thirty-plus years later, I still think his body of
work has largely justified my remark (although
age and tact, as well as accuracy, would all
insist that I insert “one of” in front of the
phrase).
As much as anyone, Friedlander has taught
us how to re-see familiar
sights and their images: selfportraits, monuments, street
furniture, nudes, fences and
a host of other eclectic subjects. That’s not to say that I
think all Friedlander’s projects have been equally
interesting or meritorious.
How could it be otherwise? I found his landscapes, for example, monotonous in both
senses of the word.
So we should dispense with a common
myth, perpetuated by arrogant critics and
condoned by passive viewers. Liking and
merit have nothing to do with each other.
Which brings us to Lee Friedlander’s latest
book, At Work. All these images of people at
machines (even when we only see their faces)
were commissioned, often by companies for
PR or annual report uses. Yes, the book
contains a spattering of distinctive Friedlander
gems but, on the whole, its repetitive images
of a subject matter which does not interest
me, leaves me cold.

Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50
Numerous contributing photographers. Text by R. H. Cravens.
Founded in 1952, the name Aperture is synonymous with important,
groundbreaking photography. The reputation of what began as a
small journal devoted to the powerful medium of photography is
now legendary—Aperture is virtually a cultural phenomenon in its
own right. This important anthology is an examination by Aperture of
its own history, a celebration of the unique influence it bears upon
the practice of photography and how it has contributed to the
respect that photography, as an art form and a means of communication, currently enjoys. Supplemental and historical texts have been gleaned from the pages of the magazine,
including essays by Nancy and Beaumont Newhall, Danny Lyon, and Arthur Danto among others. Aperture, New
York, 2002. 240 pp., 250 color and duotone illustrations, 9½×11¼ ″.

Klaus Mettig, Beat Streuli, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Andreas Gursky, Mischa Kuball,

Looking at Death
Text by Barbara P. Norfleet.
No one who peruses this extraordinary book will ever again look at death in the
same way. Over one hundred images have been compiled, though they are not
offered for shock value. Here is death on the stage and death by violence, death
in war, and death in medicine. There is humor and pathos, art and artifice. To say
this book will provoke reaction and outrage is to trivialize its intentions. For it may
be that in appreciating death’s finality—by looking at it as Norfleet does, square
in the eye—we can come closer to appreciating the gift of life. David R. Godine,

(Scalo, 864pp., 720

9/11 ONE YEAR LATER
The world has undergone immense changes
in the past year: humanity’s social reality has
been shaken, divided, scattered, re-combined
and the process of unification is presently,
inexorably, underway. The indomitable
human spirit—at times dormant but rarely
absent—was reawakened in our collective
conscience after those horrific events, and
projects of healing and education have been
wholeheartedly commenced. In one such
instance, over $600,000 alone
was raised for The New York
Times 9/11 Neediest Fund
through the laudable efforts of
publisher powerHouse and
Magnum Photos with the sale of
New York September 11 as Seen by Magnum
Photographers. (Cat# PY049H, $29.95)
At this one year anniversary we would like
to simply review the more impressive photography books that have been published in
memoriam, as well as those titles, newly
released, which take a form of social education
mixed with quiet reflection as their lofty goal.
Foremost among these titles is Pilgrimage
(powerHouse, 96pp., 75 duotones. Cat# PY060H, $35)
containing the soul-stirring photographs of Kevin
Bubriski, a Vermonter
who made four visits to
Ground Zero in the weeks
immediately after 9/11.
His images of the faces of people visiting the
site, themselves pilgrims like he, are devastating, electric, and eerie in their
quietude. For anyone who received the commemorative issue of DoubleTake, with a
Bubriski image on the cover, this book will
recall the same onslaught of emotions as then.
As a perfect counterpoint to Bubriski’s
work is the democracy of image-making
response to the events, the idea was, simply,
to present images of the event and its aftermath by as many different people and from as
many different perspectives as possible.
Anyone who made an image was accepted—
their work scanned,
digitally printed and
hung from wires in a
storefront in Soho.
Ultimately a testimony
to the people that perished and the City that
mourned their loss, Here is New York has
already raised over $600,000 for The
Children’s Aid Society.
Understated, elegant and serene, Twin
Towers, An Elegy (Picture This Publications, 40pp., 25
color and b&w illus. Cat# ZB978H, $65) is the most
beautiful book yet produced that pays tribute
to those icons of the
Manhattan skyline. In just
two dozen images, the editors have created a timeless
and fitting tribute to the
Twin Towers. From the
calm grey cloth—subtly
blind-stamped with an outline of the buildings—to the end-pages which perfectly evoke
the exterior facade of the buildings, to the
impeccable printing—as only Stinehour Press
can do—this is a true collector’s volume. The
entirety of the book, page by page, can be
viewed online, along with an online exhibition of the images from the book.
(photoeye.com/TwinTowers).
On a broader note, the Magnum agency
has had photographers in Afghanistan for
decades, dating back to founder George
Rodger’s documentation of the country’s role
in WWII. Arms Against Fury (powerHouse,
256pp., 200 color and b&w illus. Cat# PY062H, $49.95)
seeks to explore the social and historical condition of the people and their
struggle for identity in the
20th century. Photographers
Abbas, Steve McCurry, and
Elliott Erwitt, among others,
have each crisscrossed the
country, telling a tale of confusion and despair with their images.
Finally, the tragedies of 9/11 were a needless showcase for the heroism that is mustered
daily by the men and women
of the New York Fire
Department. As one woman so
poignantly put it: “As we ran
out, they ran in.” The photographers of The New York Daily
News have been witness to
such acts of bravery since the founding of the
paper in 1919. New York’s Bravest, a tribute
volume, was culled from the extensive
archives. (powerHouse Books, 160 pp., 120 color and
b&w illus, Cat# PY061H $29.95)

Polaroids
Paolo Roversi: Studio
Acclaimed as one of the most
original artists in mid-century
Italian architecture and
design, Mollino was also a
secret photographer. He photographed women in erotically charged poses, obsessively
controlling everything from
the setting—which would often include furniture he
had designed—to the lingerie they wore. To date, only
a handful of his Polaroids have ever been seen publicly.
This gorgeous new monograph, bound in a deep red
cloth, reproduces over 250 examples of Mollino’s work.

Leonard Nimoy:
Shekhina
Text by Donald Kuspit.
In Kabbalistic traditions,
evil entered the world
when God was separated
from the “Shekhina,” the
deity’s feminine side. The
Shekhina thus symbolized
creativity and wisdom and a critical element of both the
divine and the human spirit. In the introduction, Nimoy
describes his approach to this work: “I have imagined
her as ubiquitous, watchful and often in motion...This
work is my quest for insight, the exploration of my own
spirituality, and, as such, has been a deeply moving and
expanding process.” Umbrage Editions, New York, 2002.
