Welcome to the new photo-eye Booklist!
Two major changes have coalesced with this issue, one obvious and the other not:
COLOR & SUBSCRIPTIONS. As you can see we're sporting a fresh new color design
giving you a better sense of the true look of the books we sell. With this issue our
Booklist is now subscription based. However, if you place an order you'll receive
the Booklist for a year at no charge. For full details, see page 27.
Our coverage of the photography book world continues to expand. Reviews of
new photography books form the core of the Booklist, but now you will find
longer articles, guest essays, and more substantial reviews.

of photo-eye. Thank you for your continued support.
Best wishes,

Michael Kenna: Japan
Text by Kotaro Iizawa.
Signed! Michael Kenna first travelled to Japan in the mid-80s to organize
an exhibition of his work at what was then the Min Gallery in Tokyo. Over
the ensuing years, he has returned to Japan numerous times, fascinated
with the culture of spirituality that is based in the landscape. The New
Yorker has praised his “lonely, expansive landscapes, so empty as to appear
not just a world but an era apart from the country's cities...In one, the sky
and the sea roil in a gray light so dreamy and diffused that it appears less a
photograph and more a painting rendered in watery inks. Indeed, there are
calligraphic elements in many of these photos, which seems appropriate
for an artist who, rather than merely documenting a landscape, has captured the very essence of Japanese aestheticism.” This is Kenna’s 5th title
with Nazraeli Press. The cloth for the book is a silky red and the book comes enclosed in a black cloth portfolio;
absolutely stunning and guaranteed to sell out within months. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2003. 108 pp., 96 tritones, 12×13″.

Bruce Weber: All-American Short Stories
Short Stories continues the searching and eclectic format of last years' identically
titled and designed All-American (sans subtitle, Cat# ZB958S, $125). Weber has gone to
pains to compile and construct a scrapbook of sorts, a guidebook to the AllAmerican Dream, updated and renewed for the 21st century. He has perfected the
format and presentation (thanks to star designer Sam Shahid), producing a book
that makes you feel like only a few copies were made by Bruce for himself and a
handful of close friends. Nine chapters flesh out this volume, with 1930s-era photographs of swimmers in the Hudson River by George Daniell, paintings by
Jeremiah Goodman, a gorgeous suite of black-and-white images by William
Gedney accompanied by a remembrance of Gedney penned by long-time friend
Maria Friedlander, image of various friends by Weber, including a session with
Elizabeth Taylor, some summertime recipes, and a beautiful poem by Stephen
Spender. Little Bear Press, New York, 2002. 144 pp., 69 color and b&w illustrations, 9×12″.

Imogen Cunningham: Mother’s Days
The importance of Cunningham to 20th century photography can hardly be
understated. She photographed for more than 70 years (b. 1883–1976) and, as
John Stevenson states in his narrative, “She lived through every phase of photographic art this side of a salt print.” She and etcher Roi Partridge bore three
boys—Gryffyd and the twins Padraic and Rondal (himself an accomplished photographer)—the subjects of this collection of three dozen vintage prints. The
work ranges from 1918 into the 1930s and shows the boys at rest and at play,
with birds and rats, at the beach or on their grandfathers’ farm. The story of
these prints—a tale complete with deceits, displeasures, and plenty of handwringing—is aptly told by Stevenson. Little Bear Press, New York City, 2002. 84 pp.,
40 b&w illustrations, 8×9¾″.

Johan Simen: Room to Play
In Lyle Rexer’s wonderfully descriptive and quirky essay, he describes his reaction to seeing Simen’s work for the first time in a gallery in Chelsea. “It was as if
Jerry Uelsmann had grown up in the Village of the Damned.” Quite perfectly,
that statement sums up Simen’s work, both technically (referencing the multiple-image style of Uelsmann) and conceptually (possessed children who embark
with supernatural powers upon a plot of mass hysteria...loosely speaking). From
a technical point of view, anyone working in a digital darkroom should purchase
Room to Play simply to study the seamless composites that Simen has produced.
Artistically, he has striven to unsettle the viewer, creating “surreal and narrative
tableaux of corrupted youth.” This work was extremely well-received at the
recent photo LA show in mid-January. The limited edition of 50 copies comes
with an original color print (at right) in a clamshell box. Twin Palms, Santa Fe, 2002. 96 pp., 44 color illustrations, 12×13″.

Bruce Davidson: East 100th Street
Signed! East 100th Street in Harlem was one of New York's most neglected
and infamous neighborhoods at the time that a young Davidson began to
regularly visit and photograph with his 4x5 camera. This slightly revised
reissue of that 1970 classic immediately grabs you with the elegance of the
book materials and design. You're set up to expect something powerful,
and that 'something' arrives on page 3, in the form of a foreword by
Mildred Feliciano. A resident of East Harlem for generations, she speaks
openly about what living conditions were like during the time these
images were made (1966–68). "Our main bedroom was called the icebox
because it was so cold that meat and milk were stored there." The images
descry hardships yet evoke a stirring dignity. Most difficult perhaps are the
images of children. Turn to page 19 and look closely. Gently holding a
dead pigeon in his hands, the young boy’s eyes carry the pain of one that cares desperately about even the smallest living creatures. Is not one of the roles of image-making to remind us of feelings as pure as this? Visit photoeye.com/east100thstreet for ltd. ed. image.

Anthony Hernandez: Waiting for Los Angeles
Signed! Anthony Hernandez is a photographer for whom waiting has long
been a theme, with his bus stop pictures in the late 1970s, and his fishing shots
in the 1980s. Hernandez's vision is both abstract and documentary, and there is
a pattern to his work in every sense of that word—whether he is focusing on
an empty waiting room, a phone hanging in a booth, or random scribbles
etched on a sheet of glass. Hernandez skillfully draws attention to the simple
geometric beauty that can be found in even the most utilitarian fence, wall, or
window. There is not a soul in sight, but there is a strong sense that someone
has been here, and there is enough to grip the attention until they, perhaps,
return. With an informed and descriptive essay by photographer, writer, and
critic Allan Sekula. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. 92 pp., 46 color illustrations, 11×11½″.

Sally Gall: Subterranea
Text by Mark Strand and Nan Richardson.
In this beautiful new book, her first since the acclaimed 1995 publication of
Water’s Edge (Cat# CI079H, $25) Sally Gall continues her exploration and distillation of the raw sensuousness of nature, concentrating this time on the
underworld of caves. “For the past twenty-five years I have been compelled
by open spaces and sensuous light to photograph the outdoor world, composing landscape photographs which I intend to be evocative of intimate
natural experiences...I have also sought to capture and convey that sublime something I can only call ‘nature’s threatening beauty.’” The limited
ed. comes with an 11x14 inch gelatin-silver print, signed and numbered to

David Gibson: Canyonland Vision
The Colorado Plateau of Southeast Utah
Signed! Gibson’s methodical, detail-oriented approach to photography, coupled with an willingness to travel to remote areas of the
Western United States, has yielded a body of work of stunning vistas all
rendered in exquisite panoramic black-and-white photographs. In
many of the images, Gibson allows himself to be drawn towards the
trees that inhabit the area. In plate 17, Ancient Tree, Hell’s Backbone, the
weather-worn trunk and branches of a time-tortured juniper balance on
the edge of a ravine, the view giving way to the sheer cliffs and treedotted landscape stretching endlessly beyond. Each book is signed and numbered (to 800) by the photographer.

Two books by Bernd and Hilla Becher:
Industrial Landscapes &
Festschrift Erasmuspreis 2002
The Bechers are one of the true pillars of 20th
century art-making, continuing in the artistic footsteps of such greats and fellow countrymen as
August Sander and Karl Blossfeldt. Two books have
recently been published, one of which present
unpublished work, and another which celebrates their overall output. In
an interview with the Bechers, Susanne Lange questions the team about
this grouping of images which is less about individual components—houses, furnaces, or tipples—and more
about the context of these industrial sites. The Bechers were awarded the Erasmus Prize this past October and
Festschrift Erasmuspreis is the anthology published to accompany the award exhibition. A wonderful collection of
their work is reproduced therein, and numerous artists, writers, and former students offered work in homage. But
none surpass the hilariousness of Bernd Becher’s poses for Douglas Huebler’s “Variable Piece #101” from March
1973. MIT, Cambridge, 2002. Np, 180 duotones, 12×9¾″. Schirmer/Mosel, Germany, 2002. 168pp., 95 illustrations, 7×9¾″.

Morley Baer: California Plain. Remembering Barns
One of the great photographers of the West Coast School whose main proponents and more widely known practitioners include Edward Weston and Ansel
Adams, Morley Baer (b. 1916–1995) continues to gain well-deserved recognition.
His last major monograph, Light Years, is a classic of the genre and Stones of the Sur
(Cat# SU006H, $60) from 2001 is equally contemplative. Baer was also an avid architectural photographer, and over the course of years developed a body of work
that took the slowly disappearing barn as its subject. Presenting these agrarian
icons in all their austerity, Baer managed to steer clear of sentimentality and the
desire by most to romanticize rural life. What he did accomplish, however, is a testament to the welcoming nature of simple architecture amidst a glorious Western
landscape. Stanford University Press, Stanford, 2002. 120 pp., numerous duotones, 9¾×10¾ ″.

This gorgeous, newly published catalogue raisonné of Cameron’s work gathers
together for the first time every known image she made.

A selected bibliography of publications on her work and a summary of exhibitions held both during her time and in recent years rounds out this massive resource on one of the 19th
century’s most applauded photographers. The Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 2003. 532

The Allen Sisters:
Pictorial Photographers, 1885-1920
Text by Suzanne Flynt and Naomi Rosenblum.
Sisters Mary and Frances Allen set themselves apart from
other prominent fin-de-siècle women photographers in
their pastoral, quotidian subject matter of New England
country life. Presented as a collection of platinum prints,
this clothbound exhibition catalogue accompanies a travelling show originating at the Memorial Hall Museum, in
Deerfield, MA. Considered two of the foremost women photographers in America
in their own time, the Allen sisters’ photographs continue to resonate today with
the timeless, romantic quality of their landscapes and portraits. Also of interest is
the just-published Ambassadors of Progress, which reproduces the entire exhibit of 30 American women photographers, organized by Frances Benjamin Johnston, for the 1900 Universal Exposition in Paris. Pocumtuch Valley
Memorial Assoc., Deerfield, 2002. 192 pp., numerous b&w illustrations, 9×10½″.

Spring 2003

Each Winter since 1994 the staff of
photo-eye has the pleasure of poring over the books of the previous
year at an informal party, the goal
of which, by the end of the night,
is to come up with a list of titles
which are deemed to be the year’s
best. The preliminary discussions,
always boisterous and heated—for
we’re an opinionated bunch—are
then followed by raucous voting
which produces a group of roughly
two dozen amazing titles. They
represent what we feel are the
most significant, in terms of the
work contained, beautiful, in the
overall quality of production, and
well-designed books of the last
year. By Darius Himes
Let it be stated from the outset: this gets
harder and harder every year. And by this is
meant: narrowing the field to a select few.
Photography book publishing rushes headlong
towards a clamoring public, and the sheer
number of titles is near-impossible to digest.
Nonetheless, great books are being published,
and the best of 2002 are on these pages.
Best Monographs. Without a hint of hesitation, the two most elegantly conceived,








designed, and presented books of the year are:
Snake Eyes, by husband-and-wife photographers John Gossage and Terri Weifenbach
(Loosestrife Press) and Nakazora, by Japanese
photographer Masao Yamamoto (Nazraeli
Press). Nothing can be so edifying to the creative spirit than to witness two great photographers working on the same subject (a small
town in the Italian Alps) or so rejuvenating to
one’s child-like sense of visual curiosity as
unrolling the intimate-yet-majestic boxed
scroll of Yamamoto. These two titles won the
unalloyed praise of the entire photo-eye staff.
Several other major monographs stand
deserving of mention, including The Shadows,
by Debbie Fleming Caffery, her first major
monograph since the critically acclaimed
Carry Me Home, John Coplans’ A Body, a brilliant collection of self-portraits that act as a
meditation both on perception and mortality,
and the major retrospective by Becher-student
Thomas Struth (catch the show now up at
The Met in New York). Two musts for the
complete library are August Sander’s sevenvolume People of the Twentieth Century and
Alfred Stieglitz: The Key Set, massive books
(both literally and metaphorically) by photographers of obvious historic importance.
Shore’s classic body of work, Uncommon
Places, was published in 1982 and his ‘heroic
articulation of the real’ continues to influence
today’s photographers. A Paris gallery gathered
previously unpublished work from those years
(1973–1978) and issued a beautiful catalogue,
50 Unpublished Photographs, that also contains
brief excerpts from Shore’s writings. Another
treasure of the photography community,
Emmet Gowin, saw the release of a handsome
volume reproducing in tritone his prayer-like,
air-borne studies of the landscape, titled
Changing the Earth.
Manuel Alvarez Bravo, who turned 100 and
then gracefully retired to the realms above, left
us with his own selection of 100 images. 100
Years, 100 Days is the most beautiful book of
his work.
On a more conceptual front, both Marco
Breuer’s S M T W T F S, and John Gossage’s
The Romance Industry embody a spirit of
searching for and tugging at the boundaries of
photography. Breuer’s work is made entirely in
the darkroom sans camera; in short, he abuses
traditional b&w photographic paper with extraordinary results. Gossage is a thinking man’s
photographer and his Romance Industry is a
study of the Venetian industrial docks. Gossage
seeks out views and objects that act to define
the larger whole through fragmentary evidence.

Hasselblad Award 2001: Hiroshi Sugimoto
Text by Gunilla Knape and Masashi Ogura
Since 1980, the Hasselblad Center in Sweden has offered a yearly award to a major
figure in photography whose work is internationally known. Past winners have
included Koudelka (Cat# ZA699S $22.50), Meiselas (Cat# HA011S $19.50), Sherman (Cat#
HA014H $45), and for 2002, Jeff Wall (Cat# PK848H $50). In October of each year an exhibition is mounted and a catalogue is published. The award for 2001 went to Hiroshi
Sugimoto, a Japanese-born photographer who has lived in New York since 1974 and
whose work is deeply concerned with the paradoxes of time. This softbound catalogue, which is extremely well-printed, contains an essay by critic Masashi Ogura
that succinctly describes the major themes and concepts animating Sugimoto’s
photography. Hasselblad Center, Göteborg, 2001. 46 pp., 21 duotones, 9½×13 ″.

Recontres 2: James Turrell
Recontres 6: Philip-Lorca diCorcia
Editions Images Modernes is a small French publisher that has
begun a brilliant series entitled Recontres (Meetings), featuring
contemporary artists and photographers. The design and
concept of the book is the same throughout the series. The
goal is to present recent work and place it within a critical
context. In the case of Turrell, an extensive interview with the
artist (in French and English) by Sebastian Pluot accompanies
the work, while Jeff Rian—one of the chief editors of the
European art journal Purple—offers an insightful and penetrating read of diCorcia’s commissioned ‘fashion’ work. Occupying seemingly opposites ends of the photographic
spectrum, Turrell and diCorcia relate in this sense—each asks their audience to make a shift away from a traditional
understanding of the photograph. Editions Images Modernes, Paris, 2001. 32 pp., 10 color illustrations, 6¾×9½″.

Ed Templeton: The Golden Age of Neglect
Regarded as one of the architects of modern skateboarding, Templeton was born
and raised in the belly of Los Angeles and was a regular at the Vans skateboard park
in Orange, California. He has been a professional skater for over 10 years, an
absolutely unheard-of length of time in a world that regularly eats its own due to
the commonality of injury and high burn-out rates. Throughout the years,
Templeton has kept a camera close by, documenting this eminently American subculture, producing a body of work that remains true to its subject matter. This is not
a casual observer bent on imposing outside values, but rather a hard-core insider
creating images based on familiarity and passion. Described by some as a Larry
Clark-of-the-90s, Templeton’s work deserves the same amount of attention here in
the States as it currently enjoys in Japan and Europe, where this book originated.

Esko Männikkö: The Female Pike
Signed! Revolving around the experience of fishing for pike in midwinter,
Female Pike is a native son’s study of rural Finnish people and their culture.
Documentary/editorial in nature, the work has a sympathetic quality that
comes only from an intimacy with the language and life these people live.
Männikkö's color photography is shimmering at times and gorgeously muted
at others, carrying the quiet paradox of despair and acceptance that pervades
all rural towns, whether in North America or, in this case, Finland. One image
in particular deserves to be described: the bare cream-colored interior of a
room—perhaps a kitchen—is bathed in soft, northern light. A large silver milk
jug and red bucket on the right is visually balanced by a blue milk crate and
cardboard box to the left. In the center of the image, a man dressed in gray, blue, and rubber boots takes a drag on
a cigarette while the pinkish lamb at his feet suckles the milk bottle in his hand. The printing in this book is
extremely luscious, of the same quality as IChickenMoon (Cat# ZB744S, $49.95) by Eskildsen (also printed in Nordic
lands). In English and Finnish. Oulu, 2000. 144 pp., numerous color illustrations, 10¼×9¾″.

MONOGRAPHS
Araki Mythology
Text by Jean-Christophe Ammann.
Ammann’s relatively brief essay—three short pages—is the primary reason to
purchase Mythology. Of course, there are also 1500 black-and-white images, all
classic Araki: Godzilla, cityscapes, flowers, the random cat, and scores of naked,
and at times classically bound, women. But one of the ever-present difficulties—
for a Western audience at least—is the absence of a cultural or theoretical framework with which to approach Araki’s images. Seemingly unending volumes have
been published and sell well, but one is never quite sure what to do with the
work. How do you think about the bondage, the apparent degradation, the
overt sexuality, the multitudinous symbolic objects employed continuously in
his imagery? Ammann deftly maneuvers this symbolic-laden territory that Araki
has built over 30 years of exuberant and excessive image-making. Araki’s most
telling statement, that Tokyo is like a vibrant, immense female body to explore, sets the tone for the entire book.

Michael Ackerman: Fiction
Text by Gilou le Guiec, Christian Caujolle,
and Michael Ackerman.
Photography’s ability to tell a story has long been recognized as one of its most powerful traits, though this characteristic is often tied to the documentary/reportage genre.
Ackerman, whose award-winning work in the holy city of
Benares, India (End Time City, PK521H, $49.95) brought him
much attention, tackles the more difficult task of fictional
story-telling. Containing some text at the end of the book,
Fiction is essentially a short, personal story told entirely in black-and-white photographs. Gina Kehayoff Verlag, Munich, 2002. 168 pp., 90 duotones, 7¾×10½ ″.

John Cohen & Wynn Bullock
The Shape of Survival, on the work of John Cohen, and
Wynn Bullock are the latest in an ongoing, informal series of
exhibition catalogues by the Stephen Daiter Gallery which
has included, to date, photographers Gary Schneider (Cat#
ZB850S, $25) and André Kertész (Cat# ZB946S, $25) . Finely
printed in duotone and ingenuously designed, these petite
volumes each present around 25 images. In the case of
Cohen, an interview accompanies a portfolio of his
Peruvian Andes work, all made during the late 1950s.
James Rhem offers an insightful essay on Bullock, whose metaphorical landscapes are laden with magic and a seriousness born of deep contemplation. Bullock is a beloved though oft-misunderstood figure in mid-century
American photography, and hopes for a revival of his work are awakened with this intimate publication. Stephen
Daiter Gallery, Chicago, 2003. 34 pp., 27 b&w illustrations, 8½×10½″.

Wild, Weird, and Wonderful: The American Circus Circa 1910
Photographs by F. W. Glasier. Text by Mark Sloan.
Fred Whitman Glasier was a commercial portrait photographer with a studio in
Brockton, Massachusetts who documented every circus that came through
northern Mass. during the first third of the 20th century including The Ringling
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circuses. Most of the photographs were made
on sheet film or glass plate negatives, meaning exposure times and tonal
ranges ran long, thus giving the portraits of equestriennes, clowns, and wirewalkers a richly detailed, timeless quality. Perhaps the greatest curiosity is the
portrait of what is described as "a small breed of cranial hoppers—a brief fad
that could only end badly." See page 114 for the live-action shot! Quantuck

Once again, I found it impossible to keep
my list of the best photography books of the
past year to a neat Top 10, and even this
sprawling Top 20 is straining at its limits: Both
Irving Penn and Daido Moriyama are represented by two titles each. With the growing
recognition of photography's importance, not
just historically but in the moment, publishers
are attempting to supply a demand that only a
few of them fully understand or appreciate. The
result is more but not necessarily better books;
for all the worthy titles gathered here, there are
very few that succeed in matching intelligent
design—one that gives careful consideration to
reproduction, format, binding, typeface, and
sequencing—with important content. Still, the
13
sheer volume
of new photo
books
is
exciting and
published in the Feb. 11th issue of
The Village Voice, reprinted w/permission
encouraging
to any photo aficionado, especially when it
includes such genuinely substantial projects as
the definitive seven-volume edition of August
Sander's People of the 20th Century and the twovolume Key Set, which reproduces the vast
Alfred Stieglitz archive that Georgia O'Keeffe
donated to the National Gallery of Art (both
sets from Abrams).
Though they certainly deserve to be there, I
didn't put either of these titles on my list
because their historic heft places them so far
above the competition it seemed pointless to
rank them...But this doesn't even begin to
account for all the other great photography in
print this past year...You'll probably understand
the necessity of collecting not just the year's key
monographs (in addition to the...Top 20,
they'd include books devoted to Danny Lyon,
Michael Spano, Graciela Iturbide, Aaron Rose,
Lewis Carroll, Wolfgang Tillmans, Flor
Garduño, Abelardo Morell, Colin Jones,
George Tice, Wright Morris, David Armstrong,
and Adam Fuss) but its quirks, flukes, and
ephemera. Quirkiest: Scotlandfuturebog
(Aperture), the first hardcover book to preserve
one of the elaborately conceived, painstakingly
staged sagas the collaborative team of Kahn &
Selesnick have been weaving over the past
decade. This one conflates prehistory and a
post-apocalyptic future in a series of otherworldly panoramas that, typically, seesaw
between hilarity and dread. Flukiest: Ryan
McGinley (Index Books), the slim paperback
volume that helped launch one of 2002's
spunkiest believe-the-hype talents. Best
ephemera: gallery catalogs, many of which
aren't ephemeral at all. Roth Horowitz continues to put out the most intelligently designed of
these, and its dense, dark, compellingly cinematic Daido Moriyama title, '71-NY, which
made the Top 20, is a knockout.

Andrew Roth
and the fine photography book
Since January of 1999, Andrew Roth, in
association with Glenn Horowitz Bookseller,
has occupied a welcoming but austere space on
the upper East Side of New York City (160A E.
70th), a space where the photography book—
its historical importance, its aesthetic presentation, its publication—is the cynosure of all
attention. In four short years, Roth’s exhibition
and publishing activities have brought a
renewed sense of vigor and wonder to the photography community, the books finding their
way into serious collections and Best-of lists,
year after year. One of the most recent titles is a
tour-de-force of the history of the photography
book in the 20th century. The Book of 101
Books—essentially Roth’s own Best-of list—
draws various minds and practitioners—Vince
proved to be a testing ground for his still
nascent ideas about the collectibility of photography books. It was shortly thereafter that he
met Glenn Horowitz, one of the country’s premier rare book and manuscript dealers, with
whom he began to work. The intense environment of dealing and developing collections for
private collectors nurtured and refined Roth’s
love for photography books. Few dealers had
elevated the photography book to ‘object’
before, and Roth found his clients highly
responsive.
In 1996, Roth published the first of three
catalogues which featured rare and collectible
editions of a wide variety of photographic liter-
The photography book was a link to
the rest of the world. It was a way
of integrating oneself into a larger culture.
Aletti, David Levi Strauss, Daido Moriyama—
simultaneously into the arena to discuss the
panoply of great photography books in the
20th century. In early November of 2002 I had
a chance to speak with Roth about his love of
photography and books and what led him to
this point.
Roth himself studied photography and subsequently taught the history and technique of
photography during the late 80s at Tel Aviv’s
renowned Camera Obscura school. During
these years abroad, photography became profoundly significant. “The photography book
was a link to the rest of the world. It was a way
of integrating oneself into a larger culture.”
After returning to New York, Roth spent a
brief period working for Harvey Zucker at A
Photographer Place’s (now defunct), which
Spring 2003
ature. That first catalogue contains an introduction (reproduced on p. 35) that delineates and
sums up Roth’s appreciation and respect for
photography books. “Without a doubt, the
book as an object is an integral part of the history of photography. It is where a body of work
takes shape and is realized as a totality; where a
collection of pictures may become a vehicle for
influence.” These three catalogues themselves
are treasure-troves of information on the history of the photographic book. Each item is carefully described according to its historical and
aesthetic value, with bibliographic information
systematically detailed prior to a summation of
the contents or working method of the photographer. At times, the descriptions are factual
and straightforward, at others, poetic and philosophic with a tinge of social commentary, and
continued on p. 35
“Part autobiography, part retrospective, 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.”

A Very Large Array/ Awards continued
20
Best Documentary. In a classic documentary vein, four books are notable with
Davidson’s A Time of Change clearly at the forefront. It consists of newly published photographs from the Civil Rights Movement and
poignantly brings racism, clearly America’s
most challenging issue, to our attention.
A pair of jointly published books on Fazal
Sheikh’s work, A Camel for the Son and
Ramadan Moon, also make the case for social
change, this time in relation to the Somali
refugee situation. On the other side of the
world, Taiwanese photographer Chien-Chi
Chang created quiet but stirring images of the
mentally handicapped who have been chained
together in pairs at a Buddhist work-camp. The
diversity of facial expressions in The Chain is
astounding and is perfectly presented in an
accordion-fold format. Lastly, Farm was the
surprise book of the Holiday season. Ostensibly
studying the resourcefulness of African subsistence and communal farmers, Nickerson has
used washed out color to great effect.
Best Foreign Title. Martin Parr, the photography community’s court jester—his humor
dry and witty as only the English can perfect—
offered up The Phone Book, in which he turns
his ring-flash and color film to all manner of
cell-phone users, organized by country.
Best Deluxe Edition. Numerous books listed here have an attendant deluxe version, but
none is more exquisite than the reissue of Uta
Barth’s MoCA catalogue. Her deceptively simple color images are perfectly reproduced, and
the catalogue is housed in a separate slipcase
within a larger clamshell box, which also holds
an original color print mounted to archival
birch wood—the effect of the entire package is
drool-inducing.
Best Figure Study/Nude. Three completely
different books stand apart here, headed by this
year’s winner, Earthly Bodies, by Irving Penn.
The Rubenesque bodies fill the image space
such as has rarely been attempted or matched
since. Mayumi Lake’s quirky and deceptive
Poo-Chi explores the female body’s wakinoshita,
Japanese for....well, I’m not going to say; just
buy the book. Swinging the pendulum to the
erotic is Bettina Rheims’ Morceaux Choisis, a
gray-paper-with-red-thread bound book housed
in a sexy red tin case. The content? Let’s just
say it all takes place on a white shag carpet.
Best Series. Once again, this award goes to
the One Picture Books, brainstorm of Nazraeli
Press publisher Chris Pichler. Each book is limited to 500 signed and numbered copies, and
contain an original print. The series continues
to grow in strength and diversity and merits not
only another award but your full attention.
Some of the authors/artists added this last year
include Robert Adams, Bill Jay, Masao
Yamamoto, and Robert Heinecken.

"Santa Fe is an art mecca. However, in 1994, an exhibition by young artists from the Santa Fe Boys &
Girls Club was censored and removed from a local mall. An authentic community voice was silenced.
From this incident, Reality from the Barrio was born. Through words and images, we are given an intimate glimpse into a seldom seen Santa Fe community.”

Masao Yamamoto:
A Box of Ku, Deluxe Edition
A Box of Ku was Yamamoto’s first publication, elegantly capturing both the texture
of his worn originals as well as the minimalist spirit in which he exhibits his work.
It was followed by last years’ Nakazora
(Cat# TR091H $200) , one of the photo-eye
staff’s favorite books (see p. 8), which furthered one of his fundamental concepts: random groupings of prints as short stories (see also
photo-eye booklist 2002 Summer for an article discussing Yamamoto’s
work). A Box of Ku is back again, this time in an exquisite deluxe edition. The original softbound book has been
bound in black cloth and is housed in a deep purple clamshell box with an accompanying gelatin silver print (both
sides reproduced above; not to scale with box). With only 100 copies produced, and at this price, the deluxe edition is sure to sell out in the coming months. The first softbound edition is still available, signed. Nazraeli Press,
Tucson, 1998. 112 pp., 80 color illustrations, 13x10″.

Lothar Baumgarten: Carbon, Out-of-Print and Rare
This is an exquisitely produced meditation on the American railroad,
named by Andrew Roth as one of the century’s best photography books.
Baumgarten’s large format images, in the now classical American style of
Robert Adams and Stephen Shore, are subtly overlayed with the names of
the railroads, animals native to the location and, printed upside-down,
the Native tribes that were uprooted to make way for the rail lines. Vince
Aletti has described the work as “fiercely intelligent [with] poetic underpinnings.” Published exclusively in a limited edition of 1,750 copies,
Carbon contains ten short stories by the photographer, set in letterpress.
This may be your last chance to own one of the most beautiful books of the 20th century. Museum of Contemporary

Americans in Kodachrome: 1945–1965
Edited by Guy Stricherz.
“Americans in Kodachrome 1945–1965 is an unprecedented portrayal of the
daily life of the people during these formative years of modern American
culture. It is comprised of 95 exceptional color photographs made by over
90 unknown American photographers. These photographs were chosen
from many thousands of slides in hundreds of collections. Like folk art in
other mediums, this work is characterized by its frankness, honesty, and
vigor. Conceived as a book and nation-wide exhibition, Americans in
Kodachrome is an evocative and haunting portrait of an historic generation
of Americans.”—Guy Stricherz. The Deluxe Edition comes with your choice of 1 of 4 color dye-transfer prints; visit

Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia
Edited by Gretchen Worden. Numerous contributing photographers.
The Mütter Museum, in Philadelphia, owes its existence to Dr. Mütter, a 19th century
professor of surgery who willed his anatomical collection to the College in 1856.
Specimens were once an integral part of medical education but have largely fallen by
the wayside. The Mütter Museum has survived intact and, for the past decade, has
been opening its doors to certain fine-art photographers. This book is essentially a celebration of the work that has been produced by these photographers and should be
seen as a continuation of the Museum’s longstanding goal of educating the public.

Chambi, Algaze, and Meinel: Visions of Peru
Text by Carol McCusker.
Three important Peruvian photographers are the focus of this obscure catalogue
from an important gallery of Latin American photography. “Chambi, Silva Meinel,
and Algaze use the camera not only to record; they use it as a means of catharsis
through which they continually explore and survey the visible world for validation and inclusion...Through their curiosity and efforts, they make the camera’s
gaze a democratic one. And in some exemplary instances, divert attention away
from what is divisive among us...”—from the essay by Carol McCusker.

Photography: A Cultural History
Text by Mary Warner Marien.
This fine new history of photography owes its genesis and refinement to years spent
in the classroom. In her brief preface, Marien lays out some of the goals of the text
and repeatedly harkens back to lessons learned from her students, that “they do not
dislike history, but are instead hungry for it,” and “that today’s students are puzzled
by the lengthy struggle waged...to have photography accepted as an art form.” Her
fresh reading and presentation are what make this book vital; ultimately, the medium itself is rejuvenated by surveys such as this. Abrams, New York, 2002. 544 pp., 160

everything from the technical to the philosophical.
The focus is on twentieth century essays, with everyone from Californian Edward Weston to the brilliant

writers and thinkers include Walter Benjamin, Roland
Barthes, and Susan Sontag. The book is organized by

friends, noting how companionable our silences
become, how effortlessly deep our conversations,"
Cameron states. Thus begins the themed approach
to enhancing ones own inner creativity that
Cameron develops in this new title aimed at artists
and aspiring artists. Her core insights are similar to those in her first volume,
but there is a deeper practicality that informs the work. Walking is filled

Two New Books by Brassaï:

Conversations With Picasso
The Hungarian photographer known as
Brassaï, whose seminal photographic
books include Paris by Night and
Graffiti, was an intimate member of the
French avant-garde scene that centered around the neighborhoods of the west bank of Paris between the two
World Wars. He was an active reader/thinker and over the decades maintained an ongoing written correspondence with two of the most prominent
figures of that period—Pablo Picasso and the American-in-Paris writer,
Henry Miller. The University of Chicago, who has also published Brassaï’s
Letters to My Parents (Cat# UC051H, $29.95), has now published this correspondence in 2 separate volumes. Henry Miller, Happy Rock, 184 pp., 10 b&w illustrations, 6×9 ″. Pablo Picasso, 392 pp., 53 b&w illustrations, 6×7½″.

Publishers in Focus / Andrew Roth cont'd
always educational.
The first catalogue was purely a listing of
books; in the second, Roth discussed the history of Lustrum Press in an interview with the
founder, Ralph Gibson. Lustrum had published
such classics of photography as Gibson’s own
The Somnambulist, Larry Clark’s Tulsa, and
Robert Frank’s The Lines of My Hand. Books on
Photography III, was published in 1999 and is a
beautiful object in-and-of itself, perfect-bound
with a four-color printed dustjacket. In this
most recent rare book catalogue, Roth’s own
fascination with a particular era of photographic history becomes evident, that of the late 60s
and 70s. There is an interview with Emmet
Gowin about Frederick Sommer and two collections are offered for sale: complete sets of
first edition books by Robert Adams and Ed
Ruscha. The value of the bibliographic and critical descriptions accompanying each title is
clear. These two book collections would
become the basis for his first show in the space
on 70th Street.
The impromptu trip to visit Robert Adams
and discuss the set of books led to the revival of
a project entitled Eden. Eden was a town—a
truckstop, really—in Colorado which Adams
had photographed in 1972, making some prints
that then sat in a box for the intervening
decades. Roth revived the work, publishing a
gorgeous little monograph that accompanied
the show of the photographs in 1999.
Following threads of his own personal interest, he admits to a fixation on the 60s and 70s,
the period in which he himself came of age.
“That period, the 70s, was the beginning of an
international zeitgeist. There was a sharing, all
over the world,” of ideas and concepts within
the photography community. This fascination
has led to numerous other projects, most
notably the history of the Provoke movement in
Japan, which counted Moriyama Daido and
Araki Nobuyoshi as contributing members.
Incidentally, watch for a new Araki title by
years’ end.

published in 2001, is a lavish testament to the
diversity and energy of photographers throughout the 20th century, but also stands as an
object born of love of the medium and the
inherent power of photography in book form.
“Photography has the capacity to show us what our
eyes can’t see: the infinite detail in a face or a pepper; the surface of the moon. Photographs can bring
a far-off place into our private realm or exhibit private experience to an anonymous audience. We can
visit the pyramids of Giza; walk through the dark
recesses of the catacombs; study the frozen movements of a horse in motion. a photograph can fabricate an event and impose meaning; it can free our
fantasies or illustrate a fact; it can seduce or repel.
In short, a photograph has the power to inform and
alter us.
A photography book houses a collection of photographs. It is the territory where a visual idea
unfolds: a narrative is built; a body of work is carefully sequenced; an idea is illuminated by images.
Certain books are intimate constructions, a balance
between image and text with self-contained meaning. Others are built more simply, as a place to
exhibit pictures. The photography book may be used
by picture researchers; students for educational purposes; photographers for inspiration; collectors for
their library. Without a doubt, the book as an
object is an integral part of the history of photography. It is where a body of work takes shape and is
realized as a totality; where a collection of pictures
may become a vehicle for influence.”

As evidenced by last year’s The Antiquarian AvantGarde (Cat# AB246 $49.95)—a survey of photographers using alternative processes—the hype and

effectively. The ghostly figures that wander amidst

bondage, and remove most clothing). The limited edition is signed/numbered to 200.

Bob Carlos Clarke: Shooting Sex
Shooting Sex, Clarke’s first book in years, records his insightful though selfabsorbed, dry-wit musings on the life of a photographer obsessed with physical
beauty and sex. His lust-laden images have been the driving force behind numerous ad campaigns over the years, and the images reproduced here along with
more personal work. But honestly, the reason to buy this book is for his commentary, which is splashed along and on top of the images. His thoughts range from
technical tips on lighting, to strange Hunter Thompson-esque stories about the
‘hunt’ for pretty women, all delivered with a who-gives-a-f**k attitude. It’s classic,
fantastic, and somewhat offensive at the same time. But what would one expect?
