We truly hope this Holiday season is kind and safe for all.

Signed and sale books extremely limited. Debbie Fleming Caffery: The Shadows In 1990, the Smithsonian published a softbound monograph on a photographer born and raised in Louisiana by the name of Debbie Fleming Caffery. Her dark, haunting images of sugar cane workers nearly overpowered the book, creating a yearning by all who purchased it to see more. But no publications were forthcoming, and the book, Carry Me Home, became one of the most sought after out-of-print books on the market. More than ten years later, a gorgeous new volume finally arrives, equal to the task of providing a suitable space for Caffery’s forceful imagery which vacillates between renderings of the ethereal and rumblings of the underworld. Light is the instrument; indelible portraits of shadows the result. A true masterpiece. The limited edition is signed, numbered and slipcased. The deluxe edition is signed/numbered and comes in a clamshell box with an original gelatin silver print. See the print and an interview with Caffery on p. 19. Twin Palms, Santa Fe, 2002. 96 pp., 45 tritones 11×11″. Cat# TT116H Cat# TT116L Cat# TT119L Signed/Hardbound Limited Edition Deluxe Edition $60.00 $150.00 $600.00 Stephen Shore: Uncommon Places 50 Unpublished Photographs 1973–1978 Text by Gerry Badger. A recent (June 2002) Art in America interview with the great German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher yielded this gem. “It was obvious that color had to come. We had acquired a small series in color by Stephen Shore—bought or exchanged—and the photographs hung there [in the Düsseldorf Academy of Art], for all our visitors to see. That had a certain influence.” Regardless of whether or not there is a causal relationship between Shore’s “small series in color” and the work of the Düsseldorf Academy students, the fact is these images are imbued with a “heroic articulation of the real.” This superb new monograph contains unpublished work from Shore’s original ground-breaking body of work, Uncommon Places. Shore is one of photography’s greatest thinkers to boot and 50 Unpublished Photographs is sprinkled with passages from his The Nature of Photographs, a seminal text which illuminates the relationships between the photograph as an object, its content, its purely visual qualities, and the experience of viewing it. This refreshing combination of images and words makes 50 Unpublished Photographs one of the most important books of the year. Paris, 2002. 134 pp., 50 color illustrations, 12×8½″. Cat# ID624H Hardbound $50.00 Mark Klett: Ideas about Time & The Third View Project The Arizona State University Art Museum has published a catalogue to a major travelling exhibition on the photography of Mark Klett. Museum Director Marilyn Zeitlin states in her essay, “it is clear that nearly all of the work reflects a concern with time. The work is both analysis and meditation, and his reflections on time are no exception to this dual attitude that brings together a subtle poetry with a scientific exactitude.” Having prepared for and pursued early on a career in the U.S. Geological Society, Klett brings to his art not only an understanding of time on a vast scale but also a deep concern with man’s effects on the environment. He is well-known for his influential work Second View: The Rephotographic Survey Project which exactingly reproduced views of sites in the American West made historic in 19th-century survey photographs. Third View presents a continuation of that team effort, led by Project Director Klett. The participants explain: “The project made more than 110 rephotographs from the same vantage points as the originals while also attempting to duplicate the original photographs' lighting conditions, both in time of day and year. This disk samples seven sites along with a portion of the collateral materials collected, including interviews and other sound files and site-related imagery such as Virtual Reality panoramas.” Both Mac and PC compatible. Arizona State University, Tempe, 2002. Unpaged, 52 color and black-and-white illustrations, 9×11″.

That volume sits at one end of the spectrum of his photographic life. Shinjuku, an equally exquisite volume limited to just 500 signed and slipcased copies, sits at the opposite end. Moriyama’s signature style of raw, gritty, black-and-white street photography is perfectly suited to the hard-core urbanity of this teeming borough of Tokyo. Printed full bleed with absolutely no text apart from a loose foldout introduction by Moriyama himself, Shinjuku is a powerful presentation and another must for the serious collector. Also available is a small volume of his SX-70 Polaroids, presented quietly, one to a page. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. Unpaged, 300+ duotone illustrations, 7¼×10″. Shinjuku Passage Cat# TR109S Cat# ID610S Signed/Softbound Softbound $125.00 $53.00 Simen Johan: Room to Play Text by Lyle Rexer. From a technical point of view, anyone working in a digital darkroom should purchase this volume simply to study the seamless color composites that Johan has produced. Artistically, he has striven to unsettle the viewer, creating “surreal and narrative tableaux of corrupted youth.” “My photographs are composites of multiple-image fragments that I digitally manipulate and combine, including both images that I have photographed myself and found images. By combining different elements, my objective is to create artificial scenarios that appear vaguely familiar and produce numerous associations.”—Johan. Look for the image at right on a recent cover of Art & Auction. The limited edition of 50 copies comes with an original color print in a clamshell box. Twin Palms, Santa Fe, 2002. 96 pp., 44 color illus., 12×13″. Due January. Cat# TT113H Cat# TT113L Hardbound Limited Edition $60.00 $750.00 Sale $51.00 Michael Kenna: Twenty Year Retrospective, Second Edition Kenna’s work has successfully explored the realm of twilight in a way that no other photographer has. His images—filled with deep shadows and graphic forms—evoke mystery and realms just beyond perception. His subject matter ranges from gardens and forests to industrial sites and statues, often photographed at night. The first edition of Kenna’s classic Twenty Year Retrospective was published in 1994 and subsequently underwent three separate printings before going out-of-print. This new edition is slightly larger in format and now has 1:1 reproductions. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. 172 pp., 130 duotone illustrations, 12×12″. Cat# TR114H Signed/Hardbound $65.00 Jungjin Lee: Desert Preface by Robert Frank. Arguably one of Korea’s most important photographers—an appellation that is well-deserved—Jungjin Lee has consistently produced work that is intelligent, thoroughly modern, and steeped in an approach to image-making that one rarely stumbles upon, akin to a rare treasure. Made between 1990–95, the Desert series was not printed until this past year, when Lee revisited her negatives and saw something she had not seen before. Devoid of any evidence of man, the images concentrate on monumental shapes, overpowering shadow-forms, and texture—recurring themes in her work. Her previous two monographs also contain exquisite imagery (On Road, Ocean Cat#ZB929S and Beyond Photography Cat# ZB981S). Seoul, 2002. Unpaged, 58 duotone illustrations, 8½×6 ″. Cat# ZC037S Softbound $42.50 John Gossage: The Romance Industry It started with a letter sent on the 26th of May 1998 by Dr. Sandro Mescola. In the letter, Gossage was invited to work on a project to document “the city of Venice’s industrial transformation.” No gondolas and peppermint sticks rising out of the water here. The ports of Marghera provided endless material for an artist who is brilliant at mustering together ‘evidence’, like a detective. The ‘case’ for which he photographs is irrelevant; one can so easily become absorbed in the unfolding story the images present that concerns about grandiose theories fall to the wayside. Pay special attention to the chapter entitled, “The Contents of a Laboratory.” The photographs in that chapter pleasantly conjure up Calder and Diebenkorn in an effortless, unintentional manner. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. Unpaged, numerous duotone illustrations, 8×10″.

Under the gaze of one of Mexico’s greatest photographers, they take on an added mystery that is enhanced by constant reminders of their frailty. Iturbide’s magnificent work is solidly rooted in the world which surrounds us, yet is tinged by the fantastical spirituality of a Latin American vision. Twin Palms Publishers, Santa Fe, 2002. 96 pp., 60 tritone illustrations, 10×12 ″. Cat# TT114H Cat# TT114L Cat# TT120L Hardbound Limited Edition Deluxe Edition $60.00 $150.00 $600.00 Shinichiro Kobayashi: Ruins The most intriguing thing about Kobayashi’s photographs of abandoned buildings and industrial sites are what people chose to leave behind—a comfortable office chair, a child’s tricycle, and other still-usable items. What is also clearly evident in his work is the evolution of decay; the natural world invariably reclaims its lost ground, no matter the scope of industry which once stood so immovably. Vines, saplings, and bushes find their way deep inside the ruins he visits. Kobayashi travelled throughout Japan to produce these rich color images which have been reproduced on lush satin paper. Tokyo, 2002. 194 pp., numerous color illustrations, 8¾×10¾″. Cat# ID623S Softbound $56.00 Lauren Greenfield: Girl Culture “Revealing, insightful, and sometimes disturbing, Lauren Greenfield’s award-winning photographs capture the essence of contemporary youth culture. In Girl Culture, she turns her lens on American girls. The resulting photographs provide a window into the secret worlds of girls’ social lives and private rituals, the dressing room and locker room, as well as the iconic subcultures of the popular clique, cheerleaders, athletes, strippers, debutantes, actresses, and models. With an eye for both the common and the eccentric, Greenfield recounts the ways in which girls are affected and influenced by American popular culture.”—the publisher. Chronicle Books, San Francisco, 2002. 156 pp., 100 color illustrations, 12×10″. Cat# CI153H Signed/Hardbound $40.00 Berenice Abbott / Eugene Atget Text by Clark Worswick and Berenice Abbott. With numerous previously unpublished images, and a superb essay by historian Clark Worswick, this truly outstanding volume adds significantly to studies on the relationship between Berenice Abbott and Eugene Atget. What is universally known is that Abbott purchased Atget’s estate in 1927 and spent 40 years popularizing Atget’s vision of Paris. What is far less known however are the photographs she herself printed from Atget’s original negatives—extremely vibrant photographs that form the core of this book. The essay by Abbott reproduced in the back originally appeared in1964 in The World of Atget, published by Horizon Press. Arena Editions, Santa Fe, 2002. 144 pp., 102 duotone illustrations, 9¼×10½ ″. Cat# AE053H Hardbound $50.00 Sale $42.50 Lee Friedlander: Staglieno Text by Peter Galassi. “Photography likes sculpture. It likes to see how things look from different angles, especially things that don’t move...And sculpture likes photography. It likes to show off its many faces, its volumes, patinas, and textures. Above all, it likes the way photography, which makes living figures still, awakens figures frozen in stone.”—from the text by Peter Galassi. The Staglieno cemetery sits on the edge of Genoa, and was created during the late nineteenth century. Friedlander again hits his stride with these remarkable images of the memorials created for the good citizens of this Italian town. The book is bound in a gorgeous dark purple velvet with a large image tipped on to the cover. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. 54 pp., 48 duotone illustrations, 11×11½″. Cat# TR111H Hardbound Orders: 800-227-6941 www.photoeye.com [email protected] $65.00 Explore Art Photography photo-eye MONOGRAPHS 6 Rolfe Horn: 28 Photographs Text by Dennis High. Horn is a young photographer, in his early 30s, who is presently enjoying a growing national reputation. The image at left was recently featured on the cover of B&W Magazine and is found in this handsome new monograph of his best work to date. Horn’s photography explores the landscape in intimate views, often at night or twilight. His first monograph, a limited edition collection of original prints of Angkor Wat, was published 2 years ago, (Cat# TR080L, $1000); several images from that body of work are included in 28 Photographs. The book is limited to 500 copies, with an original silver print tipped on the cover. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. 44 pp., 28 duotone illus., 11×12″. Cat# TR116H Signed/Hardbound $65.00 Wright Morris: Distinctly American Text by Alan Trachtenberg. Born in Central City, Nebraska in 1910, Wright Morris never strayed far, in spirit, from the Midwest, though early in life he travelled to both coasts. His main vocation revolved around his literary pursuits, for which he was often honored, receiving the prestigious National Book Award in 1957 and the American Book Award in 1981. From the beginning of his career, however, he consciously strove to marry text and images. His writing is characterized by active seeing amidst daily routine; photography for Morris involved essentially the same faculties. His careful blackand-white studies of the items of an ordinary (yet ever-rich) life continue to breathe and resonate today. Merrell, London, 2002. 144 pp., 120 duotones, 11×11 ″. Cat# RZ183H Hardbound $50.00 Sale $42.50 Naoya Hatakeyama: Lime Works, Second Edition The images in this book are of limestone quarries, lime works, and cement factories at some thirty locations scattered around Japan, ranging from Haikkido to Okinawa. The photographs of factories—sweeping panoramas often made at twilight or dawn—reveal an otherworldly mini-cityscape of oversized tubes and tunnels, all coated with a fine layer of white dust. This work was made between the years 1986 and 1994 and the first edition, published by Synergy of Tokyo in 1996, quickly went out-of-print. Amus Arts of Osaka has now reissued this Hatakeyama classic, complete with a new afterword by the artist. Amus Arts Press, Osaka, 2002. 122 pp., numerous color illustrations, 10×12″. Cat# ID607H Hardbound $45.00 Tom Paiva: Industrial Night Made at a variety of industrial and shipping sites in the Los Angeles area, Paiva’s nighttime images speak of global economic activity, the ultimate cause for the structures that are his subject matter. Huge twisting pipes and cavernous buildings, all bathed in artificial light, loom in front of the viewer, initiating one into a realm that is not open to many. These are careful studies and serve not as condemnations of global trade but rather use the mere presence of industry as a chance to explore massive shapes and forms. For a view of the interior of this book, visit photoeye.com/tompaiva. Los Angeles, 2002. 58 pp., 48 color illustrations, 11¼×11¼″. Cat# ZB980H Signed/Hardbound $40.00 William Wylie: Stillwater Text by Merrill Gilfillan and Wendell Berry. Made along the banks of the Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins, Colorado, Wylie’s photographs are permeated with quiet, attentive gazing. Nothing more. He has distilled the river to a mosaic of reflections by removing the superfluous. The implied murmurings of those riparian surroundings quietly fill the mind, filtering out unwanted background noise and leaving, instead, a serenity that is disturbed only by the fascinating ripples on the page. This book has virtually no text, aside from an inspiring and cryptic text by Gilfillan, which adds a certain mystery to the overall presentation. Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2002. Unpaged, 25 duotones, 12×12″.

His photographs reflect a sense of refinement, respect for history, and thorough originality. For our 2003 Wall Calendar, Kenna has again selected both well-known and previously unpublished photographs. 14 x 18 inches, 13 duotone plates. A BESTSELLER EVERY YEAR. Cat# TR115S Wire-O $19.95 Michael Kenna: Twenty Year Retrospective We’re delighted to present a new printing of this classic book featuring 130 of Michael Kenna’s hauntingly beautiful, superbly crafted photographs. Representing the twentyyear period from 1974–1994, it is still as fresh and relevant as when it first appeared. With an eloquent foreword by Ruth Bernhard and an essay by Peter C. Bunnell that thoughtfully considers Kenna’s background and development. 12 x 13 inches, 168 pages, 130 duotone plates. Cat# TR114H Hardcover $65.00 Shinjuku by Daido Moriyama Tokyo’s Shinjuku is a place that Daido Moriyama is drawn to, returning again and again. He claims it is unparalleled in weirdness, and certainly his gritty, personal photographs of this red-light district have a magnetic attraction. With an introduction written by Moriyama himself, this substantial book is printed in an edition limited to just 500 signed copies. Slipcased, 7¼ x 10 inches, 608 pages, 608 black-and-white illustrations. Richard Avedon Cat# TR109S Slipcased $125.00 Cat# AB261H $35 August Sander People of the 20th Cent. Cat# AB253H $195 Charles Harris One Shot Harris Cat# AB259H $35 Alfred Stieglitz The Key Set Cat# AB258H $150 Harry N. Abrams Waiting for Los Angeles by Anthony Hernandez The stunning photograph on the cover of this book—of square, colorful ceramic tiles—could be almost anything you might imagine it to be. For Anthony Hernandez’s vision is both abstract and documentary as he skillfully draws attention to the simple geometric beauty that can be found in even the most utilitarian object. With an essay by Allan Sekula. 11 x 11 inches, 96 pages, 46 4-color plates. Cat# TR110H Signed/Hardbound $60.00 MAGNUM PHOTOS Alex Majoli: Leros The power of photography to motivate is something to be respected, though, indubitably, images can come as painful reminders of deeply needed change in the world. This book is filled with such images, awful and hopeful at once. Leros is a Greek island that was home to an asylum, which, over 30 years, had become a zoo of ignorance and chaos. No more should be said; look, read, and be moved. Trolley, London, 2002. 112 pp., 47 duotones, 8¼×5¾ ″. Cat# PI089H Sb $39.95 Paolo Pellegrin: Days in Kosovo Text by Tim Judah. In this photographic record of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, Pellegrin has captured the hopeless, helpless plight of the refugees and their long walk to safety through the bare and beautiful countryside of that ravaged land. Pellegrin’s photographs won the Leica Medal of Excellence in 2001 and are now presented in a befitting volume by a new publisher of extraordinary taste and design. Trolley, London, 2002. 148 pp., 60 duotone illustrations, 8¼×10½″. Cat# PI090H Hb $29.95 MAGNUM BOOKS 9 MONOGRAPHS Anthony Hernandez: Waiting for Los Angeles 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″. Cat# TR110H Hardbound $60.00 Cristina Garcia Rodero: Rituales En Haiti The mystery of Haiti’s rich religious milieu has been fodder for literature, film, and popular culture for decades. Rodero, who’s groundbreaking work on religious ceremony in Spain brought international recognition, has now travelled to the Caribbean island herself to discover, through her lens, a deeper truth. The images she has brought back do nothing to lessen the mystery of Haiti; at the least, they cement one’s understanding of the power of religious thought in the mind’s of its practitioners. This is powerful documentary work. Madrid, 2001. 218 pp., numerous b&w illustrations, 9¾×13″. Text in Spanish only. Cat# ID614S Softbound $52.50 Eikoh Hosoe: Ba-Ra-Kei, Ordeal by Roses Text by Yukio Mishima and Mark Holborn. “I will never admit the decay of the flesh.” Yukio Mishima wrote these words in the weeks before his death by seppuku—ritual suicide—in November of 1970. This act, news of which immediately swept the world—was timed to coincide with the publication of the second edition of Ba Ra Kei, Hosoe’s masterpiece of surreal photography which uses Mishima as model and subject matter. The preface by Mishima, Japan’s greatest post-war literary figure, is reason enough to purchase this book, for the clarity of his writing on the nature of photography. “It seems to me that before the photograph can exist as art it must, by its very nature, choose whether it is to be a record or a testimony.” This new edition contains an afterword by Hosoe and features a new cover design. Aperture, New York, 2002. 100 pp., 35 duotone illustrations, 10¼×14¼ ″. Cat# AP457H Hardbound $45.00 Sale $38.25 Naoya Hatakeyama The various bodies of work represented in this exhibition catalogue, accompanying a major mid-career retrospective at the National Museum of Art in Osaka, have been reproduced in separate volumes. Lime Works is available on p. 6, and Slow Glass (Cat# ID606H, $29.50) came out just this past year. But none have a flipbook section for the exquisite Blast photographs, in which Hatakeyama has frozen, second-by-second, the explosions that are used to reveal new veins of mineable material. An added bonus to this particular catalogue is an entire section of artist commentary on each body of work. Tankosha, Tokyo, 2002. 176 pp., numerous color and b&w illustrations, 8¼×6″. In Japanese and English. Cat# ID605S Softbound $30.00 Two books by Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Dutch Encounters & 100 Years, 100 Days In late 1959–60, Bravo undertook a journey to the Netherlands, producing a small but memorable body of work during his time there. In celebration of the artist’s 100th birthday, this small volume was published containing a selection of his most-known images as well as images made on that visit over 40 years ago. After reaching his centenary this past February, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, the greatest of Mexican photographers, has just recently passed away and these two monographs are offered in memorial. 100 Years, 100 Days, a lavishly produced tome who images were hand chosen by the master himself was also published this past year and is available only in Spanish.

A self-described gear-head, in whom “the metal disease has grown...over the years,” Burke’s first photographs were of cars, and it was a fellow Aries that described how “fire and iron are essential elements” in their shared astrology, hence the fascination with motors and cars. Bill Burke is one of those figures in the photography community about whom one rarely hears, but when you do, you pay attention. He avoided the Vietnam War by failing the physical exam, but after seeing the film The Deer Hunter—a Vietnam War film—decided to photograph those places where it was made: Mingo Junction, Ohio, and Weirton, West Virginia, towns intimately connected to the steel mills. He eventually made his way to southeast Asia, and again found himself among metal-workers and machinists. This catalogue, which contains raw and powerful poems by Sue Wrbican, accompanies a show organized by Pittsburgh Filmmakers. New York City, 2002. 24 pp., 24 color and black-and-white illustrations, 8½×11″. Cat# ZC035S Signed/Softbound $20.00 Bill Henson: Lux Et Nox “Australian artist Bill Henson is a passionate and visionary explorer of twilight zones, of the ambiguous spaces that exist between day and night, nature and civilization, youth and adulthood. His photographs of landscapes at dusk, of the industrial no-man’s land that lies on the outskirts of our cities, and of androgynous girls and boys adrift in the nocturnal turmoil of adolescence are painterly tableaux that continue the tradition of romantic literature and painting in our post-industrial age. The rich chiaroscuro, the oscillating light, and the masterful composition of his photographs map enigmatic states that escape rationalism’s iron grip, providing a much-needed antidote to a culture that increasingly looses itself in a numbing vortex of blinking screens and glittering surfaces.”—the publisher. Scalo, Zurich, 2002. 192 pp., 125 color illus., 16½×12″. Cat# PK784H Hardbound $75.00 Sale $63.75 Jackie Nickerson: Farm Text by Mark Holborn. Nickerson’s work is refreshing and substantial for a variety of reasons. For one, her color prints vacillate between rich hues and a bleached tonality. All of the work is printed in color but some images have been printed almost monochromatically, allowing this or that single muted color to barely present itself. The intentional austere effect is akin to the washed-out appearance things acquire under the burning midday sun of the African farmlands where she photographs. Machinery is virtually non-existent in these agricultural communities and Nickerson’s work focuses on the people, clothing and inventiveness that is cultivated through poverty. Her work gracefully straddles the line between document and testament—think sharecroppers by Walker Evans—and for that reason alone her work is worthy of attention. Trafalgar Square, North Pomfret, 2002. 141 pp., 101 color illustrations, 11¼×13½ ″. Cat# TS024H Hardbound $55.00 Abelardo Morell: A Book of Books This is a true book-lover’s book, albeit a book of unusual books. There are stacks of books and single books, 19th century books for the blind, oversize astronomy books, a table-sized Audubon book and an impossibly massive dictionary. There are water-damaged books and books that have been buried in dirt. But some of the most interesting books are those in which the author has created a fantasy world, (eg. Alice in Wonderland) and Morell plays on this tendency and strength of literature to invent alter realities. Morrell’s photographic style is to use raking light to accentuate the subtle differences in tonality and surface, creating a rich sense of texture and tension. Bulfinch, Boston, 2002. 108 pp., numerous duotone illustrations, 10×10″. Cat# BF186H Signed/Hardbound $60.00 Vincent Gallo 1962–1999 The faux-leather cover and binding calls to mind a personal diary, which is precisely what this intriguing book aspires to be. Completely autobiographical in nature, Gallo has assembled photographs of his ‘life and times’ and added text to accompany.

Rondal Partridge was born in 1917 to California etcher Roi Partridge and the celebrated photographer Imogen Cunningham. By his twentieth year, he had apprenticed to both Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, who, along with Edward Weston, were close friends of the family. This intimate association with certain prominent figures in the photography community fueled his image-making activities but did not cloud his mind with aspirations of celebrity. In fact, his aversion to the spotlight is a central feature of this monograph/biography, which also presents his eclectic, but ever-fascinating, 60+ years of photographic activity. Rondal Partridge is represented by photo-eye Gallery. California Historical Society Press, San Francisco, 2002. 144 pp., numerous duotones, 10×11″. Cat# ZC039S Cat# ZC039H Softbound Hardbound $21.95 $40.00 Alexey Titarenko: City of Shadows Text by Irina Tchmyreva. Born to parents of the Soviet academic intelligentsia, which implies relative prosperity during the years of the Cold War, Titarenko began exhibiting photographs as a member of the Leningrad Zerkalo Club at the young age of sixteen. His attention to form shines through in these atmospheric photographs where bundled crowds, hustling here and there, are reduced to massive, stunning blurs. In her thoughtful essay, Irina Tchmyreva writes, “St. Petersburg demands to be loved with the compassion of Dostoyevsky’s ‘little people,’ for whom feeling is both a form of cleansing and a way of penetrating the mystery and spirit of this city composed of evaporations from the river’s bog-lands.” Alexey Titarenko’s work is available through photo-eye Gallery.

We think we communicate with words, but has anyone ever told that to an Italian? Where did the expression "tongue-tied" come from? No one ever tied a tongue. But tie their hands and about half the world's communicators would be silenced. The human (and sometimes non-human) hands are, with the possible exception of the eyes, the most expressive parts of the body, asking for more or less, telling us to come or to go, asking questions and answering them, scolding, rewarding, searching and finding. They intimidate, bless, encourage, and stop us. We may take hands for granted. But Elliott Erwitt does not. Here is Erwitt at his most serious-and-yet-whimsical best, giving us the moments which, without hands, would not exist.”—the publisher. New York, 2002. 128 pp., 100 duotones, 6×8½ ″.

This monograph explores the daguerreotypes of Chuck Close, one of America’s most renowned artists and a leading figure on the art scene of the post-war era. The resulting volume permits a comprehensive study of the artist’s entire oeuvre from the very outset of his career to the present day. A figurative painter and photographer, Close work has always occupied the territory where realism, abstraction, and minimalism overlap; his art’s founding principle lies chiefly in an analysis of the working process, whether of painting or of photography.

Untroubled by others’ puritan fears of sensuality or by the follies of this or that zeitgeist, Armstrong has long pursued his twin vision of urban romance and bucolic serenity. All Day Every Day presents the artist’s landscapes, interiors, and cityscapes, wistful and evocative images that discreetly suggest stories of love and loss, that bespeak the solitary pleasures of a flaneur adrift on urban streets and rural roads. A street corner, the facade of a skyscraper, blossoming trees, a chair in a room on a late afternoon: these are the elusive quotidian promises of happiness that Armstrong so elegantly captures, generously inviting viewers to interweave their own desires and reveries with his intricately languid images.”—the publisher.

After sitting in storage since his death in 1985, André de Dienes's complete Marilyn archives have finally been gathered together. Photographer André de Dienes's life was changed forever one day in 1945 when he met an aspiring young model named Norma Jeane Baker. They immediately took off on the road together so that André could photograph her in natural settings across the West; during their travels, they fell in love and were briefly engaged. After their romance ended, they remained friends and de Dienes continued to photograph her. His unique, loving photographs of Norma Jeane helped to launch her model career and, a few years later, the film career that was to make her a legend. 240 pages 2 Vols. in Box 12¼ x 15½ inches An interview with Debbie Fleming Caffery OUT OF DARKNESS "The true artist must always mix the inner substance of the soul with the essence of the subject to derive droplets of imagery from the resultant alchemy. This magical process requires total involvement of the heart. Debbie Fleming Caffery's work radiates this fusion of her personal passion with the emotional energy of her subjects. From this fundamental union comes the depth and power of her images."—Francis Ford Coppola, 2002 Emotional and mythic vision pervade Debbie Fleming Caffery’s evocative images of life in Louisiana, Portugal, and Mexico. Her photographs are not objective documents, but poetic stories that capture the mystery and spirit of the people and places she encounters. She has received numerous awards, including the Governor of Louisiana’s award for excellence in the arts and the prestigious Lou Stoumen Award from the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego. Her work is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum, New York, and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. The Shadows is her first major monograph in 12 years. Wendy Lewis, Director of photo-eye Gallery, recently interviewed Caffery.

DFC: The attraction I feel to a subject whether it be person, animal, situation or place, develops into a relationship that feels like being in love. I have had a love affair with sugar cane harvesting in Louisiana since l973. I photograph the harvest every season just like the farmer harvests the cane. My work is a visual articulation of an emotional and sensual response to my subjects—to stories heard and the smells and sounds in the environment. I spend years on most of my projects; without the major ingredient of time, these intense relationships would be nonexistent. Each project flows into the other, as can be seen in my new book, The Shadows. WL: Your work holds a continuum of shadow, darkness and life. What draws you to the darker realms? Can you elaborate on the balance you maintain between darkness and the spark of life within your imagery? DFC: I grew up in Louisiana in the heart of two distinct, strong cultures known for their great story telling, music and food: Cajun and African-American. I absorbed these cultures into my imagination and am attracted to cultures that are organic and emotional, where I can feel and somehow share the rhythm and beat of the people, where the past is on the shoulders of the community. I am extremely attracted to shades of mystery and shadow. I wait, observe, and listen long enough so that a combination of my emotions and those of my subjects and their environment occur. This lets a brightness come through in my photographs, just as the light and sparks of life are heard in the lullabies I grew up with— old Gospel spirituals and Cajun ballads. My challenge is always to balance the emotions of struggle, tenderness and hope so that it shines through in a body of work. WL: You have recently moved to Sante Fe; what drew you here and how has the move affected your photography? DFC: I was invited here as an artist in residence at the Marion Center at the College of Santa Fe, to teach a class in documentary photography. I devoted five months to teaching and printing a new portfolio of my work on "Women of the Night." Being in Santa Fe was so nourishing to my life as an artist that after the View book page-spreads and residency I did not portfolios of Caffery’s work want to return to online at photoeye.com/ debbieflemingcaffery Louisiana. Although the people and environment of Louisiana had birthed the creativity in my work, I no long felt nourished there as an artist. I have not photographed here much, but the experience of living here has enriched my heart and soul. Being in a community that cherishes and celebrates the creative spirit is the greatest gift of living here. Working with photo-eye and Jack Woody at Twin Palms Publishers has been extraordinary. While living here I have found the time and the support to edit years of work, which has led me to a better understanding of my photographs. Santa Fe—this vast, dry landscape—is such a contrast to the humid South in which I grew up, it inspires me to explore the shadows of my new home. photo-eye booklist 2002 Holiday Order Form 2003 Calendar 376 Garcia Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 Orders: 800-227-6941 Info: 505-988-5152 Fax: 505-988-4487 www.photoeye.com [email protected] Sold To: Check here if this is a change of address. email address (used for order confirmation) customer number on label name address city/state/zip/country Ship To: Day Phone #: (Very Important) If different from above.

For one thing, they’re black-and-white. For another, these are close-ups of tree trunks, mosscovered rocks, and subtle, almost quaint photographs of leaves dusting the forest floor. But in a recent phone conversation—Shore was driving to Parent’s Day at his son’s Connecticut college—he convincingly elaborated the vital relationship between these two disparate bodies of work, cemented not by the fact of the 8x10 view camera that has remained his companion, but rather by ideas. The view camera monumentalizes things by close observation, by saturation of detail. Shore stated that this fact so often stymies students who search for a subject worthy of such attention. But one doesn’t have to find something monumental to photograph. Though it’s true that, for Shore, the 8x10 equates with a heightened sense of awareness in the world, that awareness can be applied to the everyday. This is the essential link between the earlier color work (see p. 3) and this rich new body of images.

Subtle. They are beautiful, but the undercurrent is political, though not overtly so. It’s about the way art is used to implant itself on another culture.”—from a conversation with Misrach. The pictures of paintings published here comprise one of Misrach’s famous Cantos, but they have never been reproduced in their entirety until now. Made in various museums in the American West, they are concerned with the manner in which European art—particularly the landscape painting— made its way, metaphorically and literally, to this region of the US. The details of these paintings have obviously been co-opted, but the resulting meanings are implied and indirect. The two essays by Naef and Kumar bring to the table much needed historical and intellectual analysis.

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 ninety-five exceptional color photographs made by over ninety 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. Made as memoirs of family and friends, the photographs reveal a free-spirited, intuitive approach, and possess a clarity and unpretentiousness characteristic of this unheralded photographic folk art. Conceived as a book and nation-wide exhibition, Americans in Kodachrome: 1945–1965 is an evocative and haunting portrait of an historic generation of Americans.”—Guy Stricherz.

Sandweiss. Martha Sandweiss is a professor of American studies and history at Amherst College and is well known to the photography community for her monumental study of Laura Gilpin, entitled Enduring Grace (Cat# TX009H $95). This new volume tells the intertwined tales of photography and the American West, beginning with the daguerreotypists who accompanied troops to the scenes of the MexicanAmerican War, and continuing through to the ever-growing awe conveyed by pioneering Western photographers. Sandweiss is particularly keen on the development and use of photography to create myth as well as examining the varied intents that photographers brought to their craft. The chapter on photography and book-making, from whence the title of the book is derived, is fodder for all involved in the book market, reader, photographer and publisher alike.

David Plowden Bridges The Spans of North America, Revised Edition Cat# NT131H $75 Hardcover / 12" x 10" / 328 pages Whether built of stone, brick, wood, iron, steel, or concrete, bridges have captivated our imaginations more than any other man-made structures. In David Plowden's words, "there is no more overt, powerful, or rational expression of accomplishment— of man's ability to build." And Americans, in particular, have excelled in this structural art. Bridges explores in depth how, when, where, and by whom the most important North American bridges were built, and, with Plowden's superb photographs, we can dwell on their most important engineering and aesthetic qualities. In his extensive text, Plowden vividly records the discoveries, misconceptions, struggles, failures, and triumphs of the men who dedicated their energies to bridge design and construction. Plans of many of the bridges are included to illuminate less obvious aspects of these engineering marvels. Although a number of the bridges herein have been lost and others have been built, this volume stands as a stunning and powerful argument for our continued reverence for these wonderful structures. 184 duotone photographs, line drawings. VISUAL ANTHOLOGIES AND HISTORIES 26 Stieglitz and the Photo-Secession, 1902 Text by William Innes Homer and Catherine Johnson. 1902 was witness to the first American movement, under the guidance of Alfred Stieglitz, to champion ‘pictorial’ photography—photography that took as its goal a deep emotional response rather than merely a record of an event. “The point is, what you have to say and how to say it. The originality of a work of art refers to the originality of the thing expressed and the way it is expressed, whether it be in poetry, photography, or painting.”—Stieglitz. To celebrate the centenary of the landmark Photo-Secession exhibition of 1902 at New York’s National Arts Club, Professor William Innes Homer and author Catherine Johnson have undertaken to reassemble, as best as possible, the pieces exhibited at that show. The roster of photographers is fantastic and it’s hard to imagine that at the time not a single artist exhibited had been collected by a major museum.

These two volumes offer a survey of a total of 34 photographers and were organized around a major exhibition, also in two parts, that took place in the Spring and Summer of 2002. Though the text, which is minimal, is entirely in German, the volumes are well worth the inconvenience of the language barrier. A brief biography on each photographer is printed along with 1 to 3 page spreads of images. Some of the artists include Bernd and Hilla Becher, Andreas Gursky, Mischa Kuball, Axel Hütte, Candida Höfer, Thomas Struth, and Elger Esser. They are an indispensable guide to one of the most important photography programs in the world. Schirmer/Mosel Verlag, Munich, 2002. 174 pp., numerous color and black-and-white illustrations, 7½×9¾″.

Cat# ID611H Hardbound $37.95 The Nature of Still Life: From Fox Talbot to the Present Day Edited with text by Peter Weiermair. Neglected in most histories of photography, Weiermair argues that the still life has been a classic field of experimentation in modern art, with obvious roots in antiquity. What this major exhibition and catalogue, hope to accomplish is nothing less than a reversal of interest in such a rich field. Weiermair, as curator, places no disproportionate emphasis on any of the three half-century periods to date in photographic history, though one could easily imagine an undue presentation of 19th century works around this theme. The result is magnificent; a volume filled with gorgeous photographs spanning the full range of the medium’s history, printed on sumptuous matte paper.

Cat# TR107H Hardbound $35.00 1000 Forbidden Pictures: Cheesecake! Text by Mark Rotenberg. It sounds ridiculously tongue-incheek to state that the essay at the beginning of this book of campy nude photographs is well worth reading, but it truly is. Rotenberg attributes the explosion of early1950s popular photography to the returning GIs of WWII, many of whom had been issued cameras as part of their duties in the war effort. Long years in tanks and trenches had accustomed them to gazing at unattainable women in photographs; the term “pin-up” is a direct result of the war. The collection here is a treasure trove of mid-century American photographs. Taschen, Los Angeles, 2002. 768 pp., 100 b&w and color illustrations, 5½×8″.
