Clark and Richard Walker. “For about twenty years I lived in an artist’s studio in California that had skylights but no windows. And I never thought much about that until we bought a house in the Berkeley Hills, from which you can see the Golden Gate Bridge. I started noticing how the light changed every day, every hour, every minute...I was just stunned by the beauty. The change in atmosphere, color and light quality was reminiscent of Monet’s wonderful studies. Making these photographs has become an obsession over the last three years.”—Richard Misrach. Signed copies of his Sky Book (Cat# AE028H) are also available! Arena, Santa Fe, 2001. 132 pp., 60 four-color plates, 13×11 ″. Cat# AE041H Signed/Hardbound $50.00 Michael Kenna: Easter Island Signed copies! Text by Bill Jay. Michael Kenna photographed Easter Island over a two year period and created a powerful body of work that pays tribute to the island, its raw, natural beauty and the attendant mystery of its past. Forty images were selected from this project for publication in Easter Island, the fourth volume on the work of Kenna by distinguished publisher Nazraeli Press (see their ads on page 5 and 26). Historian and renowned critic Bill Jay discusses, in his introduction, Easter Island and the speculation surrounding its history. The first printing of this book is limited to 1000 copies. Each book is clothbound and slipcased and, for a limited time, signed. Order early to ensure availability. Tucson, 2001. 72 pp., 40 duotones, 12×12 ″. Cat# TR076H Signed/Hardbound $75.00 Signed copies! Victor Schrager: Bird Hand Book Text by A.S. Byatt. The beauty of Schrager’s photographs lies not so much in the subject matter— though there is an undeniable attractiveness to the feathered creatures portrayed— as it does in his approach to the subject. It has been said that beauty is the persuasive aspect of truth, a relationship that Schrager has imbibed and invested in the work. The sincerity of the photographer coupled with the unabashed presence of these animals—perched as they are on the hands of faceless and countless handlers—is what immediately grabs the viewer. These birds are not presented as commercial objects nor as perfect specimens, isolated against a seamless backdrop in a spotless studio. Rather, they squirm and resist, acquiesce and bide time, held as they are by the hands of man; the dynamic at play between bird and hand greatly informs this work, indeed, it speaks of life itself. Graphis, New York, 2001. 128 pp., 70 duotones, 8¾×12 ″. Cat# WG193H Signed/Hardbound $60.00 Richard Avedon: Made in France Made In France is a beautifully reproduced selection of work prints by one of the world’s best-known photographers. Created in Paris for Harper’s Bazaar during the 50s, many of these images are now presented for the first time. This body of work is a significant addition to the oeuvre of published Avedon images, complemented by the history surrounding the production of these particular prints. Each was made for the photographer by master printer Andre Gremola, and are reproduced to the exact scale on their uncropped, original mounts. Avedon’s handwritten notations and crop lines provide a rare glimpse at the working methods of this master. A truly stunning book. New York, 2002. 56 pp., 40 quadratones, 12×14¾ ″.

Ansel Adams passed away in 1984, leaving behind an outstanding legacy as a consummate interpreter of the American West, an avid environmentalist, a driving force behind the photography department at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and perhaps as America’s most loved photographer. Numerous books have been published on Adams, but Ansel Adams at 100 is different. As John Szarkowski explains in his text, this volume “is an attempt to identify that work on which Adams’ claim as an important modern artist must rest.” The book is housed in a clothbound slipcase and includes a reproduction print of an Adams image, with his facsimile signature and the embossed seal of The Ansel Adams Trust. This is a truly magnificent Adams collectible and the penultimate Adams book to own. Little, Brown & Company, Boston, 2001. 200 pp., 114 tritone and 25 duotone illustrations, 14×12½ ″. Cat# LB081H Hardbound $150.00 Save 15% $127.50 Helen Levitt: Crosstown Text by Francine Prose. Crosstown is the largest selection of Helen Levitt’s work ever published. One of the twentieth century’s most important photographers, Levitt has trained her eye and camera on the streets of New York City since the mid-1930s. The city’s joys and tragedies, the playfulness and diversity of its people all take center stage in her characteristically humane street photographs. powerHouse, New York, 2001. 192 pp., 48 four-color and 144 tritone illustrations, 9¾×11¼ ″. Cat# PY038H Hb $75.00 Save 15% $63.75 Kate Breakey: Small Deaths Signed copies! Text by A.D. Coleman. Since her childhood in South Australia, photographer-artist Kate Breakey has been moved by the often unnoticed animals that live, and die, in our proximity. She has taken care to memorialize these tiny creatures—young birds too small to fly, the careless lizard—in her hand-colored, large format photographs. These delicate and quite common animals—sensitively portrayed and vibrantly colored—seem, quite paradoxically, to come alive on the page. Univ. of Texas Press, Austin, 2001. 168 pp., 81 color illustrations, 9¾×11¾″. Cat# UT111H Signed/Hardbound $65.00 Duane Michals: Questions Without Answers Signed copies! “As my consciousness spirals to its predestined disappearance, age has forced me to pay attention.” Long-recognized for his thoughtful, narrative photographic works, Michals has, at 60, become even more contemplative. In this gorgeous new book he explores a series of “unanswerable questions”, revealing a great deal of himself and his deepseated philosophy in the process. Twin Palms Publishers, Santa Fe, 2001. 96 pp., 65 black-and-white illustrations, 8×10″. Cat# TT097H Signed/Hardbound $60.00 Sarah Moon: Coincidences Text by Robert Delpire and Sarah Moon. Moon’s first major retrospective contains a stunning cross-section of the numerous genres she has explored during her 30 year involvement with photography, including 26 signature color images. “...On a rainy day, in the morning light, I look back at all these photos I have accumulated—moments of awakening, split seconds, a slow motion rough cut from a film, which I have been living by proxy, more from outside than inside... Is it dreams that my photographs are about? Or even better, are they hallucinations?”—Sarah Moon. Arena Editions, Santa Fe, 2001. 288 pp., 178 duotone and 26 four-color illus., 12×11 ″.

Photography is also one of the most intimate mediums, not just because of its historically small size, but because our encounter with it is generally under a soft light and on our lap. I’ve imagined a book like this for a long time...The basis for my selection was simple. Foremost, a book had to be a thoroughly considered production; the content, the mise-en-page, choice of paper stock, reproduction quality, text, typeface, binding, jacket design, scale—all of these elements had to blend together to fit naturally within the whole. Each publication had to embody originality and, ultimately, be a thing of beauty, a work of art...In all but a few instances, I have focused on monographs that the artists had an active role in producing. I was also generally drawn to publications in which the photographs were meant to be seen in book form. In other words, not books that are merely a place to exhibit images but books whose images were destined to be seen printed in ink and bound between covers...My goal was not to compile a selection of rare or precious books, just great ones. In each case, I endeavored to reproduce the finest example of the book I could locate and then to print what I believe to be a representative sampling of image-spreads...In an attempt to give a broad overview, I have commissioned essays by individuals who are integrally connected with the photographic book: art dealer, artist, critic, curator, historian, publisher, and technician. One motivation behind any project of this scope is purely selfish—a curiosity to see what shape it will take...how others will flesh out meaning on the skeleton of an idea. I hope that the cumulative complexity of these essays and images helps to make The Books of 101 Books a useful scholarly reference and an aesthetically compelling object.” Cat# PK676H $85 Some of the 101 Books that are in-print Dorothea Lange: An American Exodus Cat# ZB534S $39.95 Brassaï: Paris by Night Cat# BF164H $50 Walker Evans: Let Us Now Praise Famous Men Cat# HM001S $16.95 Paul Strand: La France de Profil Cat# AP415H $40 Robert Frank: The Americans Cat# PK463H $35 Danny Lyon: The Bikeriders Cat# TT071H $50 Lee Friedlander: Self Portrait Cat# FR006S $35 Larry Clark: Tulsa Cat# GV008H $39.95 in the form of reprints, second editions or facsimile copies Michael Lesy: Wisconsin Death Trip Cat# NM158S $29.95 Bill Owens: Suburbia Cat# FL028H $29.95 Robert Adams: The New West Cat# PK619H $55 Lewis Baltz: The New Industrial Parks Near Irvine California Cat# MW073H $49.95 Ralph Eugene Meatyard: The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater Cat# PK677H $45 Gilles Peress: Telex Iran Cat# PK366H $58 Joan Fontcuberta: Fauna Cat# PV024H $35 David LaChapelle: LaChapelle Land Cat# SS038H $50 NAZRAELI PRESS is pleased to present The 2002 Michael Kenna Wall Calendar John Cohen: There Is No Eye Text by Greil Marcus. “Be it in the Peruvian Andes, Kentucky bluegrass country, the Gospel churches of Brooklyn, or in Greenwich Village with Bob Dylan and the Beat Generation, famed musician John Cohen’s vision transcends history, even when it distills the spirit of a period and a place.

The book spans over two decades of work, and confirms Kenna’s position as one of the most important landscape photographers working today. Night Work comprises 86 plates beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper. It opens with an introduction by Bill Jay and an interview with Michael Kenna by Tim Baskerville. Hardcover, 13 x 13 inches, 96 pages, 80 duotone plates. Cat# TR061H Cornell Capa Wire-O Signed/Hardcover $65.00 Impossible to Forget (SIGNED COPIES) Michael Kenna first visited the Matzweiler Struthof concentration camp in France in 1986. Two years later he returned, still marked by the initial emotional impact, no doubt the key to his decision to develop a project about the Holocaust. Since then, he has repeatedly returned to Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, LublinMajdanek, Ravensbruck, Buchenwald and many other camps to photograph their restless emptiness. The photographs in Impossible to Forget are directly opposed to the evil that continues to live in the camps, to nihilism and to revisionism; they are bearers of peace and compassion. Hardcover, 10 x 12 inches, 128 pages, 105 duotone plates. Cat# TR075H Signed/Hardbound $60.00 MONOGRAPHS 6 Philip-Lorca diCorcia: Heads diCorcia is best known for his elaborately staged photographs, meticulously planned productions that wear the guise of ‘real life.’ Conceptual photography with the veneer of the documentary, as one author puts it. His new work, however, is a departure. Combining street photography and theater, diCorcia rigs lights far above the New York sidewalk, unnoticed by the passersby, and positions himself a distance. The results—an amalgam of random individuals and unvarying lighting conditions—are stunning. The anonymous, specimen-like quality to the subjects is heightened by the theatrical lighting. This work successfully reinvigorates the entire genre of street photography. Göttingen, 2001. 40 pp., 20 color illus., 12½×11½ ″. Cat# PK710H Hardbound $35.00 Save 10% $31.50 Larry Fink: Social Graces Signed copies! Text by Max Kozloff. Fink’s famed first monograph has long been out-ofprint and hard to find. Reprinted by powerHouse, this new edition features a completely new design, new film separations, and a number of images that never made it into the original printing. His work, as he states, is political, but not polemical, revealing yet never damning and embodies a search for self by way of photographing ‘the others’. The afterword, written by Fink in 1982, is as poignant as it was twenty years ago, offering insight into both his working method and the emotional engagement and evolution that naturally attended the work. powerHouse, New York, 2001. 104 pp., 70 duotone illustrations, 11×11 ″.

Over 170 images are featured in this handsome volume, produced by one of Spain’s premier photography publishers. Five essays, plus a full exhibition biography and bibliography are included. Barcelona, 2001. 134 pp., 170 b&w illustrations, 9½×11¾ ″. Text in Spanish and English. Cat# ID553S Roy DeCarava: The Sound I Saw Softbound $35.00 Signed copies! DeCarava has long been recognized as one of the great photographers of the 20th century, best known for his street photography and his soulful jazz images of the 50s and 60s. In the early 1960s he conceived, designed and hand bound a book mock-up which included his own poetry and close to 200 of his photographs of jazz musicians. The Sound I Saw was never published, and became a thing of legend among photographers, an unrealized work that embodied, on page and in image, the essence of jazz. Phaidon has raised the work from relative obscurity and has published the entire book as DeCarava originally intended it to be seen. London, 2001. 208 pp., 196 tritones, 13¼×10½ ″. Cat# PI053H Signed/Hardbound $75.00 Dan Eldon: The Art of Life Text by Jennifer New and Kathy Eldon. In 1993 photojournalist Dan Eldon was brutally murdered by an incensed and griefstricken mob while covering the civil war and American military intervention in faminestruck Somalia. A tender but seasoned 22 years of age, he left behind not only his journals—the basis for the best-selling book The Journey is the Destination (Cat# CI113H)— but a life of adventures and experiences that continue to inspire. Raised in Kenya, Eldon deeply loved, and was intimately familiar with, the vast continent of Africa, across which he had taken numerous expeditions. This beautiful new volume is an illustrated biography that honors the young man whose life came to an end far too soon. San Francisco, 2001. 288 pp., numerous color and b&w illus., 7½×9½″.

Don McCullin has been called one of the greatest photographers of human conflict in our time. His career has covered much of the late twentieth century—a period steeped in conflicts between nations, tribes, and ideologies. This retrospective volume begins with quiet work from his home in England, but then quickly moves into work from Cyprus, the Congo, Vietnam, Biafra, Derry, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Beirut, and Irian Jaya, before returning to his native English countryside. This massive volume is serious, grand, and appropriate for the range of subject matter with which it deals; a book to absorb over time.

His lifework, consisting of more than 70,000 negative frames, constitutes an unparalleled documentation of a crucial 22-year period (1932–54) encompassing some of the most catastrophic and dramatic events of the last century. This book represents the most definitive selection of Capa’s work ever publisher, 937 photographs meticulously selected by his brother, Cornell Capa (himself a noted Life photographer, see p. 5), and his biographer, Richard Whelan.”—the publisher.

Eugene Smith was commissioned to spend three weeks in Pittsburgh to produce 100 photographs for a book by author Stefan Lorant commemorating the city’s bicentennial. Smith had just ended his tempestuous, long-term relationship with Life magazine. He stayed in Pittsburgh for a year, far longer than his original commitment, and produced over 16,000 photographs. It was his lifetime conviction that this was his greatest work. Surprisingly, the core group of images, asserted by Smith to be the ‘synthesis of the whole,’ have never been collected and published together. This book remedies that situation, offering a glimpse of America at midcentury. New York, 2001. 176 pp., 175 duotones, 9½×11 ″.

The most comprehensive survey of Giacomelli’s work ever published, this massive volume contains over 600 images, all arranged by theme. Taken as a whole, the book is a testament to Giacomelli’s highly personal and recognizable style in which the artist’s fascination with his native Italy is delineated and explored. His familiar, high-key, abstract landscapes are amply reproduced, along with rural townscapes, streetscenes, still lifes, and portraits of everyday Italian life. His absolute mastery of form and composition makes his work distinctive and secures for him a well-deserved place among the great figures of the photographic medium.

Jim Stone has taken the icons of photography, symbols of its newfound respectability in the art world, and parodically folded them in on themselves to reveal hidden facets. Using sophisticated digital technology, he has altered, reworked or remade versions of photography’s classic images for ironic and often humorous effect.”—the publisher.

Cross Sections continues this exploration by moving towards the core of ‘life’: cellular replication. Historically, science and art have generally been collaborative arenas of endeavor; in the field of photography they are inextricably linked. These images, created over the past three years, were made using medical imaging devices. They are an attempt to present what modern science has begun to unravel: the mystery of life.

From time to time, we would sneak in there to see what was going on. As we grew older, we were allowed to help swing the trays where the prints floated. Within that darkness, under the gloomy light of the coloured bulb, we gazed at the great clock hanging next to a sign beautifully handwritten by my Father: ‘There is time, there is time’...”—from the introduction by Aurelia Alvarez Urbajtel.

Cat# ZB888S This milestone in the history of America contemporary photography, is once again available in an impeccable facsimile of the original publication. Three decades ago, Lewis Baltz became fascinated by the stark, manmade landscape rolling over so much of California’s agrarian terrain. This is the bestknown of his projects on the subject, published for the first time by Leo Castelli in 1974. The work assured Baltz’s place in the influential New Topographic movement, which stands for a cool, distanced yet critical view of the emerging, man-altered landscape.

Witherill: Botanical Dances Botanical Dances represents a firm departure from Witherill’s earlier approach of working on location in the landscape. He has placed various pressed plants—ferns, flowers, and leaves—against a variety of painted and textured surfaces of paper and stone. His strategy “was to combine the lyrical plant forms with abstract fields to arrive at a new textural unity as well as a sensitive and often witty figurative expression.”—the publisher.

These visions were inspired by the hundreds of nights I spent under the dome of the stars in the Sinai desert, sometimes walking by starlight along the dry riverbeds. The nights are dark and nearly monochromatic, but despite the murkiness, one can see well enough to walk among the mysterious, starlit landscapes.”— Neil Folberg, Jerusalem, 2001.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948) lived during one of the most tumultuous and despairing periods of modern history, in a country that, to this day, struggles to find it’s rightful voice in the world. Yet amidst such despair and poverty his voice affected tremendous political change and his sincere actions transformed reticent hearts. Nearly 300 photographs, many never seen before, have been reproduced in this fitting volume, a tribute to a man who envisioned peace, tempered that vision with wisdom, and acted in a manner that was at once sustainable and transcendent.

They become the rarest of moments; ordinary people will forever be able to tell you where they were and what they were doing when they first heard the news, as if the terrible deed had happened to them, which in some ways it did. Up until that moment America had been spared the ravages of the last century of modern warfare. The bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon ended an amazing historical period in American life, one which I place at 87 years, beginning with World War 1 (we actually entered it 3 years late) during which we rose to unwanted superpower status, became the most powerful nation in the world, and yet none of the terrible carnage of that era took place on our soil. We had come to believe as a people, protected as we were for so long by our two great oceans, that we were immune to the awful dangers and cruelties and viruses of the rest of the world. That sense of immunity, as these photographs so dramatically show, ended on September 11, 2001... 144 pages Cat# PY049H Hardbound $29.95 Gilles Peress: Telex Iran Larry Towell: Then Palestine C.

The mountain is a natural defence. At the same time, to lock something up with a key is to safeguard what is valuable to us...The key is, therefore, another mechanism of defence against unwanted intrusions. It is a curious fact that if we look carefully at the serrated edge of a Yale key we find that it reproduces the morphology of a mountain chain. What is the hidden significance of this coincidence?”-Joan Fontcuberta. The artist explores the theme of security throughout this timely book.

After installing new voice recognition software, Jay spoke into his computer: ‘I would like to produce a collection of articles called Something Photographic, a seemingly bland phrase but nevertheless one which sounds rather jaunty.’ As Jay sat back and watched, the computer typed: ‘I would like to produce a collection of articles called sun in the blood of the cat...’ Jay looked at that sentence and said to himself: ‘Yes, I would!’ And thus the title to this inspiring new collection of essays was born. It joins his previous titles, Occam’s Razor (now back in print, Cat# TR007S) and Cyanide & Spirits (just re-released this Fall, Cat# TR005S). Nazraeli, Tucson, 2001. 160 pp., 27 b&w illus., 6×8½″. Cat# TR084S Softbound $24.95 Teaching at the Bauhaus Text by Rainer Wick. The contributions made by the Bauhaus movement and many of its prominent figures to the development of modern art and architecture during the twentieth century cannot be understated. This dense volume examines the varied pedagogical methods of the Bauhaus teachers. In comprehensive individual analyses, the author Rainer K. Wick presents the approaches of the Bauhaus teachers Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Johannes Itten, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee, who effected a profound revolution in art education. Wick also discusses the historical circumstances leading to the development of the Bauhaus, while essayist Gabriele Grawe sketches the reception of Bauhaus ideas in North America.

All that sounds rather self-serving—book sales enhanced by gallery exhibitions, and the commercial value of the images increased by exposure in book form. This is not an excuse for knee-jerk cynicism. The history of photography, as we know it, is largely based on the passions of individuals whose collections were later acquired by major museums. In addition, these images, which would be otherwise largely unknown and therefore not available to revise and expand our history, can now be seen, appreciated and studied. Even the images by famous photographers—including W. Eugene Smith, Aaron Siskind, Marion Palfi, Lisette Model, Jack Delano et al—are surprising and fresh; the images by more ‘unknowns’ even more so. For those equally interested in history, the most useful section is a superb appendix by Claire Cass providing detailed chronologies of exhibitions at the Photo League (1936-1951), a comprehensive list of its courses (the League was also a school), and biographies of members. There is also a fine essay by the trustworthy Anne Tucker which neatly defines the Photo League and provides a context for its images. But...As many will know, the Photo League was disbanded as a direct result of being branded as a ‘subversive’ organisation and a Communist front, in 1947. This is the story that still needs to be written: the political context of the Photo League, and documentary photography in general, arising out of the Communist/anti-Fascist groups which arose in Europe during the 1920s and 30s. Tucker acknowledges that this complex topic requires “...too long a discussion to be covered here.” Perhaps so. This book is a celebration of images, not ideas. Still, the wider political context deserves an in-depth text treatment, if any American scholar could jettison this culture’s induced fear of the red-under-the-bed boogie-man. Meanwhile, this book is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of this fascinating, talented but troubled group. Bill Jay is a noted critic, humorist, and historian of the medium of photography. His enthusiasm and tireless energy led many students to a deep appreciation of the history of their chosen craft during his tenure at ASU, Tempe. 376 Garcia Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 Orders: 800-227-6941 Info: 505-988-5152 Mon-Sat 9am–6pm MT Fax: 505-988-4487 www.photoeye.com [email protected] photo-eye Books & Prints TECHNICAL 32 Large Format Nature Photography Photographs and text by Jack Dykinga.

Koppel’s highly sexualized self-portraits are beautifully reproduced in this new monograph. “Central to the underlying thematic orientation of Rolf Koppel’s opus are the identity of the individual and the examination of the body as tools of expression,” Peter Weiermair writes in the essay. Koppel creates alternative identities for himself—alter egos, perhaps—in these photographs, exploring characters and drawing from history and mythology. Weiermair continues, “Eros and sex are the dominant themes, an inevitable consequence of a noholds-barred approach to a critical examination of human gender roles...His motivation derives instead from a longing to become an ‘other’ in the visual image, a desire to acquire a new identity, if not permanently, then at least in the photograph.” Santa Monica, 2000. 115 pp., 55 black-and-white illus., 10½×11½″. Hardbound $62.95 Cheek! Photographs by Trevor Watson. “Nothing else in life—not even the breast—quite prepares us for the sheer audacity of the female bottom. And no one but Trevor Watson, by dint of his boundless enthusiasm for the impudent part as well as his icy-coolness at the moment critique, is better qualified to capture it.”—the publisher.

This is not the smooth, rolling landscape of the female body— this is a much bigger challenge—the awkward, jutting affront of the male. According to Rankin, ‘the female form is much more beautiful to photograph, which I think has something to do with the history of images.” London, 2001. 110 pp., 59 color and black-and-white illustrations, 10×13″.
