Over the past few years Hedi Slimane’s ongoing design collaborations with
musicians on their stage costumes has allowed him unfettered access to live
concerts by David Bowie, The White Stripes, Beck, The Rolling Stones,
Blondie, The Strokes, The Libertines ... in Paris, London, Berlin, New York
and LA. This has evolved into a personal photographic investigation of the
mythology of the rock concert. In his pictures the stars of the shows are often
conspicuously absent. It is about the creation of a rock personality, the silent
rituals of ‘the sacred-almost sacrificial-space of the stage’.

Ed Ruscha THEN & NOW
Collier Schorr Jens F.
‘This is the
ultimate Ruscha
performance piece’
Domus
Between 1962 and 1978, Ed Ruscha produced eighteen small artist’s books.
Usually self-published and in small print runs, these publications have become
seminal works in the history of conceptual art and the photography book.
THEN & NOW is the first artist’s book that Ruscha has independently
created since 1972.

The Jens pictures began as an experiment. To photograph a young boy in many
of the positions that Andrew Wyeth painted the model Helga; to give someone
another identity and photograph them through the transformation. The work
evolved into a kind of dance between the two models, between painting and
photography, between the exacting detail of photography and all the nuances
of sketches and drawings.

The 20th century was also a century of things, both those artistically created
and mass-produced. Originally manufactured for one purpose or another, the
things soon achieved their independence, becoming in the process harbingers
of beauty, modernity, innovation. The Ecstasy of Things. From Functional
Object to Fetish in Twentieth Century Photography uses product photography
as a reflection of the world of things and shows how the emotional and
symbolic content of a thing was represented. The collection is a wealth of
forms and a colourful compendium of design and a photographic history of
the past century.

Spawned by a commission from fashion designer Marc Jacobs for an

This politicisation of culture in Berlin’s mid-20th century history is an
undercurrent of Tacita Dean’s newest Berlin work Die Regimentstochter,
2005. Compiled from the covers of opera and theatre programmes of the
1930s and 1940s the book is a cross-section of Berlin’s rich offering of opera
houses and theatres. Each programme gives a tantalising glimpse of a title or
a face through a small window cut into the embossed cover; we recognise
Beethoven, Rossini, the face of a singer perhaps. Why they were removed is
left to our imaginations.

Paolo Roversi Studio
Guido Mocafico Venenum
Limited edition
of 1200 copies
Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal
fashion images and portraits — images that quiver on the edge of their own
seemingly fragile existence. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily in 8-by10 Polaroid, and rarely on location. Studio is a milestone in his burgeoning
bibliography. The book, designed as a series of gatefolds, appears to be a
collection of empty pages at first glance. The experience of looking is akin to
that of peeling away the leaves of a Polaroid — out of the blackness, an image
is revealed as if by magic.

Guido Mocafico regards jellyfish, snakes, and tarantulas as the creation of an
unparalleled artist. His images offer a vision of the unknown, a large dose of
mystery, and fear, a contemporary view of the demiurge. These are the bêtes
noires of our imagination...

Danzig Baldayev Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia

The Daily Telegraph
The photographs, drawings and texts which make up the Encyclopedia are
part of a collection of 3,600 tattoos compiled over 33 years in St Petersburg’s
notorious Kresty prison by one of the prison guards, Danzig Baldayev. The
tattoos were his passport into a secret world where he became something of
an ethnographer, recording the secrets of a closed society.

Jake and Dinos Chapman Insult to Injury
‘Controversial
mavericks of
modern art’
Evening Standard
In 2001, Jake and Dinos Chapman purchased a set of Francisco Goya’s
Disasters of War prints. Produced by Goya between 1810 and 1820 as an
attack on the horrors of war, and its supposed romance and idealism, this
group of 80 images has since become emblematic of art’s moral voice, as well
as a powerful template for the representation of the gross insanity of conflict.
The Chapmans meticulously ‘rectified’ their Goya prints, superimposing
cartoon faces of clowns or puppies onto figures Goya had intended as
allegories of human suffering, as the ultimate homage to Goya’s masterpiece.

This publication catalogues and explores the latest sculptural installation by
Robert Gober, one of contemporary art’s most highly-regarded figures. The
first of the two volumes includes a comprehensive essay by Brenda
Richardson written over the course of the two years of the installation’s
development. Richardson spent hours in the studio in conversation with
Gober, and her Lexicon provides an unprecedented glimpse at the working
process and multiple layers of meaning in Gober’s complex work. The
lavishly-illustrated second volume reproduces over 50 full-colour photographs
of the completed work.

Isamu Noguchi A Sculptor’s World
Lewis Baltz The Tract Houses; The Prototype Works; The New Industrial Parks
A Sculptor’s World is the long awaited reprint of Isamu Noguchi’s 1968
autobiography. It remains Noguchi’s most comprehensive statement about the
art that brought him international acclaim. Told in words and images, A
Sculptor’s World is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the life and
work of this seminal artist or a general interest in the art of sculpture.

Reproduced for the first time, Lewis Baltz’s earliest portfolio The Tract
Houses (1971) and his preliminary forays into a minimal aesthetic, as
represented in The Prototype Works (1967–1976), illuminate Baltz’s drive to
capture the reality of a sprawling Western ecology gone wild. Together with
The New Industrial Parks near Irvine, California, this trilogy reveals the
indelible importance of Baltz in the changing course of contemporary
photography.

Next Level
As laissez-faire market forces sweep the globe and the earth’s future seems
endangered, the dream of living in concert with nature and with one another
is increasingly essential. Joel Sternfeld has selected sixty representative
utopian communities in America and documents them in this book with
photographs and explanatory texts. Sweet Earth brings together what might
otherwise seem disparate, individualized social phenomena and makes visible
the community of communities.

Robert Polidori, often considered an architectural photographer, is in fact a
photographer of habitats. Polidori delicately peels away the patina of daily
living and reveals the juxtapositions that create a city’s identity. Havana is a
particularly rich setting for Polidori’s inquiries. In this city the peddler lives
where the countess once resided; children dance and tumble where merchants
conducted their business. Each photograph is a discovery and a fragment of
the city’s biography.

it developed from the newsletter of the Studio 54 set into the definitive guide
to the most significant stars of today and tomorrow.
For 35 years Interview has offered an original perspective on the sexy,
fascinating and funny people who are shaping popular culture. This collection
of 7 books presents the first catalogue of the first decade of that extraordinary

Arthur Elgort Camera Crazy
Andy Warhol Red Books
‘His iconic images
of supermodels
ooze sophistication
and glamour’
Marie Claire
The Polaroid camera combined two of Andy Warhol’s obsessions — the
disposible nature of modern consumerism and the photograph as a readymade. Between 1970 and 1976 Warhol would take home the Polaroids, edit
and sequence them and then enter them in individual red Holson Polaroid
albums. These albums tended to cover one event, be it a weekend in Montauk
with the Kennedy and Radziwill kids, or a portrait sitting with Palomo
Picasso. Red Books is a box containing 11 of the Holson albums, each a
facsimile set of Warhol’s original sequence.
11 red, spiralbound Holson photo albums, one black booklet of text,

This book collects together Arthur Elgort’s photographs of people with
cameras. They range from children to supermodels, from strangers to selfportraits, and emphasise the ubiquity of the camera in contemporary culture.

Karl Lagerfeld 7 Fantasmes of a Woman
Karl Lagerfeld A Picture of Dorian Gray
‘[Karl Lagerfeld] is one
of the few fashion designers
who really understands art,
literature, photography
and how they intersect’
The Independent
This book tells the story of Oscar Wilde’s novel as a film. It reflects a world
of fashion and glamour and suggests the aesthetics of Caravaggio or the preRaphaelites. Karl Lagerfeld, one of the greatest protagonists of the fashion
scene, makes his contribution — not completely free of irony — to the
subject of the transitory nature of beauty.

In 7 Fantasmes of a Woman, Karl Lagerfeld has brought to life his vision of a
woman’s sensual fantasies. Against the backdrop of the rich history of Dom
Pérignon and taking inspiration from diverse sources, including drawings by
Moreau the Younger, Stanley Kubrick’s film Barry Lyndon, Colette’s Chéri,
Laclos’ Dangerous Liaisons and the poetry of Emily Dickinson, he created a
series of photographs filled with sensuality, mystery and sexual ambiguity.

Gilles Coulon White Night
For three years, from Shanghai to Paris, by way of Bamako and New York,
Gilles Coulon traveled the world making photographs bathed in the elusive
haze of neon light. The atmosphere of these images transports us into the
atmosphere of each city he has photographed. Whether a restaurant in Cairo,
the lobby of a building on Broadway, or a Niamey market at night, his
photographs bear witness to the presence of man and cause our eyes to linger
in unfamiliar places.

‘[Burtynskys’] images

sublime... they inspire

Art in America
Burtysnky’s latest body of work gives visual form to the industrial and urban
transformation of China, a place where industrial forces are gathering on a
scale that the world has never experienced before. If the earth’s resources were
under siege through western colonialism and technological progress, then
China is on the brink of a tsunami that is only just forming and is nowhere
close to expressing its full impact.

‘Southworth & Hawes,
to the level of art.’
Antiques & Auction News
From 1845 to 1862, the Boston partnership of Albert Sands Southworth and
Josiah Johnson Hawes maintained the most celebrated photography studio in
the United States. Taking as their subjects both the greatest personalities of
the day and the natural spectacles of the American landscape, such as Niagara
Falls, Southworth & Hawes elevated the new medium of daguerreotype
photography to the level of art. Transcending the mere recording of factual
detail, their daguerreotypes reflect a quintessentially American aesthetic and
embody an emerging national culture and spirit.

The Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings of Ed Ruscha is a six-volume series of books
co-published by Steidl and Gagosian Gallery. Each volume contains entries for
every painting from a period, usually about a decade, and hence reflects the

Robert Frank Storylines
Robert Frank New York to Nova Scotia
‘The epic loneliness
of Robert Frank's
photographs has made
them iconic images of
20th-century America’
The Observer
New York to Nova Scotia was originally published in 1986 to accompany a
retrospective exhibition of the same name organized by the Museum of Fine
Arts, Houston, and has long been out of print. The chronology and personal
spirit of Frank’s complex career as a photographer and filmmaker are evoked
with previously unpublished letters, pictures, reviews and essays. Some of the
letters and texts are by Frank; others were written by photographers and
contemporaries, such as W. Eugene Smith, Louis Faurer, Walker Evans, Jack
Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Robert Delpire.

Robert Frank is one of the most influential of all post-war photographers.
Pioneering a revolutionary approach to photography and filmmaking, he
combines autobiographical and poetic elements to produce straight black and
white images that transcend the specific. Often involving a progression through
a series of images, his work is structured like a musical sequence, creating
storylines that resonate beyond the frozen moment of any single photograph.
Storylines accompanied an exhibition highlighting Frank’s experimental use
of narrative in photography and film. The exhibition included work from films
and photographs (including Polaroids, contact sheets and recent digital stills)
and several artist’s books.

Julian Germain For every minute you are angry...
Marc Joseph American Pitbull
‘the results are
‘A breathtakingly
amazing. More than
original view of
simple social history,
American Culture’
they capture the elusive
American Photo
nature of happiness’
Wallpaper
Without ever trying or intending to, he showed me that the most important
things in life cost nothing at all. He was my antidote to modern living.
In a series of photographs made over eight years, Julian Germain captured the
quiet, contemplative existence of an old man living alone in a small house in a
city on the south coast of England. Unfettered by the misplaced aspirations of
the modern world, Charlie spent the last years of his life absorbed in his
memories of his wife, his children, his love for flowers, music and the
quotidian pleasures of the crossword, and his albums of his own photographs.
A gentle portrait of a gentleman in his twilight years.

American Pit Bull offers an alternative view of a controversial world. The
American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the most maligned breeds of dog, with
sensational media reports of violence and viciousness. But pit bull people —
old-timers, breeders and owners — have long shown the dogs fanatical
devotion, establishing an entire culture around them. It is these people and
their pets that have captured Marc Joseph’s gaze over the past two years.

Ute Eskildsen The Photographed Animal — Useful, Cute and Collected
Man beholds in the animal a part of himself and his relation to the world.
Photographs show the animal as a true friend and a tool, as a dignified being
and a monstrous creature. Animal pictures are reflections of the times in
which they are made — whether it’s a big-game hunt in the 19th century or a
recent shoot for a cat food commercial. This book presents the photographed
animal from photography’s beginnings up to the present in a depth and
variety never seen before.
With an essay by Ute Eskildsen, 336 pages, 220 duotone and 78 colour
plates, hardcover, £28.00 / $50.00 / f40.00, isbn: 3–86521–209–3

Marianne Müller The Flock
Somewhere on a rooftop in Brooklyn, an old man breeds pigeons, feeding and
flying them. An unspectacular, seemingly banal scene that photographer
Marianne Müller observed and photographed for months. The result of her
observations and reflections is The Flock, a rich and dense record of life above
the rooftops of Brooklyn, oscillating between documentary observation and
metaphorical condensation.

‘Jim Dine is on a roll’
Modern Painters
Limited edition
of 100 signed and
numbered copies
with a Stone Lithograph
Stone Lithograph
This catalogue raisonné marks the first comprehensive survey of Jim Dine’s
photography. Since 1996, the internationally acclaimed artist has used cameras
and lenses to make images that he has turned into prints using heliogravure
and digital ink-jet processes, as well as conventional colour and black-andwhite photographic printing. Combining his zest for image making with a
long devotion to self-expressive materiality, Dine imbues his photographs
with an intensity that is occasionally traumatic but invariably beautiful.

The winter in L.A. that year was kind of a ‘grey July’. Diana and I lived at
234 Entrada Drive in January and February of 2001. These photographs are
a memoir of what our eyes saw in our garden and when we walked to the
Pacific Ocean.

Reprint of a
classic 1933 book
The Russian revolutionary Ilya Ehrenburg lived in Paris between 1908 and
1940 and My Paris is his extraordinary portrait of the city. Ehrenburg's Paris
knows no Louvre or Notre Dame and shows the Eiffel Tower crouching
behind shabby facades and building timber. He focused on ordinary people of
every age, at their doors and in cafés, at work and at rest, in their poverty and
dignity, and wrote brief descriptive texts about each. First published in
Moscow in 1933 as a collaboration with El Lissitzky, Moi Parizh — My Paris
has become an extremely rare and highly collectible object, and this reprint at
last makes it available again.
240 pages, 125 duotone plates, 18.5 cm x 16 cm, hardcover with dust
jacket, with a leaflet containing the original Russian text translated into
English, housed in a slipcase, £28.00 / $50.00 / f40.00, isbn: 3–88243–927–0
