Zurich: Lars Muller & Columbia University GSAPP 2012. Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9� - 12" tall. New tan linen HARD cover with black font on cover and spine and tipped in photo of Don Graham on back cover 191 pps. Pristine condition as it is new. We've placed this under protective mylar to assure it stays in this conditionl GIFT quality. Graham known for his series "Homes for America" now continues this theme in many of the photos edited for this copy. "To this day the theme of architecture and its surfaces represents an extremely important facet of his work as does the question of what role it plays in postmodern society and in the context of everyday culture. This publication presents new photographs by Dan Graham taken in the context of a study trip with the architecture faculty of Columbia University together with a selection of original photographs from the Homes for America series. The new images exhibit stark similarities to the old pictures because they were taken in the same locations in the same deserts of suburban streets and housing that Graham had photographed in the 1960s. This creates a fascinating reference system of repetitions and differences in terms of both the temporal and the spatial that asks questions of the viewer about architecture public space and their function in society."

Bloomfield Debra
Four Corners
Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press 2004. Book. Very Good. Cloth. D/J in Protective Wrapper. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. In 1989 photographer Debra Bloomfield got into her car and headed east from California. Near Oak Creek Canyon in Arizona she began photographing feeling somehow a part of the landscape through which she travelled. For the next ten years she would sojourn in the desert and mountain regions of the Southwest three or four times a year expanding her horizons topographically and spiritually capturing with her camera a juxtaposition of vast spaces and lonely intimacy inherent in the terrain that surrounded her. In 1997 she found herself in Las Trampas New Mexico and discovered through its church and others like it in the northern areas of the state that interior spaces can evoke the same kinds of meanings for her as landscapes do. In both she felt a sense of place and history of hope and transformation. At once ethereal and haunting her images are also transcendent suggesting a balance between spiritual and secular. 159pp. N.B. Closed tear to top edge of front D/J.

Sohm Joseph
Visions of America: Photographing a Democracy
USA: Vision of America LLC 2009. Book. Like New. Cloth. First Edition. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Slight mark on front board. This book addresses a single question: how do you photograph democracy After all democracy is an 'idea' and not something one can easily wrap one's lens around. But photographing democracy is indeed what Joseph Sohm has done in this epic journey across the 50 states. To capture this country's incredible diversity Sohm framed his national work as George Seurat might a pointillist painting. With each photograph an individual dot was applied to his American canvas. Spanning three decades tens of thousands of images were assembled in what becomes a compelling mosaic. Sohm takes us on an insightful journey down the back roads and byways of the U.S. which ultimately leads to a deeper understanding of who we are as a nation. This is a sweeping portrait of life in the American democracy a portrait that shows us the United States. With a foreword by legendary travel writer Paul Theroux and lyrics by two of America's most distinguished songwriters Alan and Marilyn Bergman "Visions of America" is a work of historic significance. 301pp. Vision of America, LLC Hardcover

Text in EnglishFrench and German.Case is damagedtop rear slipcase dentedand slightly scuffed but otherwise very good.This book offers an unprecedented documentation of our era's most famous people including artists photographers designers creators of culture musicians actors and architects. Each of these people was present with his or her full energy and enthusiasm when Daniel and Geo Fuchs used a box-like Polaroid camera which had originally been developed for eye doctors to produce these creative highlights. The beginning of each session was devoted to the project of taking an extreme close-up of the celebrity's eye. The next step was to stage a second image which usually integrated the first portrait of the person's eye. The resultant photographic artworks are every bit as diverse as are the personalities of the photographed individuals. These portraits accurately reflect the many facets of life: from gorgeous and aesthetic through crazy and shrill to desolate and thought-provoking. A representative collection of these fascinating photos is available now in this large-format photo book. Book and slipcase.Scuffed/dent in top of slipcase Text in English German and French.

Barbash Shepard
Changing Dreams: A Generation of Oaxaca's Woodcarvers
Santa Fe New Mexico: Museum of New Mexico Press 2007. Book. New. Cloth. First Edition. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. This book takes a generational look at the fast-changing world of the woodcarvers of Oaxaca Mexico. These artisans became famous in the 1980s for their colourful novelty figures a contemporary folk art that Shepard Barbash and Vicki Ragan documented in the book "Oaxacan Woodcarvers". Fourteen years later beginning in 2004 Barbash and Ragan returned to Oaxaca and discovered many changes in the lives of the woodcarvers they had known. Barbash effectively presents their personal stories in narratives drawn from interviews accompanied by Ragan's arresting black-and-white photographs of the carvers and their lives today. A series of diptychs of the same people taken in 1989-90 and again fifteen years later are accompanied by extended essay-captions on the changing circumstances shaping their lives.Faced with a glut of carvings on the market declining sales abroad and an unsteady supply of tourists at home a number of Oaxacan artisans put aside their craft to become mojados or foreign workers drawn by the economic opportunities north of the border. With eloquence and insight the book puts a human face on bilateralism a fancy term to denote divided souls. From the dusty villages of Oaxaca to the orchards of Oregon and the kitchens of Chicago the carvers have joined millions of Mexicans who unable to find good work or sustain their recent prosperity in their own country have fled across the border: artisans and aliens. "Changing Dreams" is a moving story of change and survival conveying the growing aspirations and changing dreams of a people struggling to catch up without leaving too much behind whose creations we enjoy but whose lives we barely understand.155pp. Museum of New Mexico Press Hardcover

Knapp Gottfried
Albrecht Ade: Painted with Light Photages
Fellbach Germany: Edition Axel Menges 2004. Book. Like New. Cloth. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Albrecht Ade's 'photages' created with special light techniques have nothing in common with the 'photocollages' or 'photomontages' of the 20th century. When artists as different as El Lissitzky John Heartfield Laszlo Moholy-Nagy Raoul Hausmann or Hannah Hoch constructed futuristically bold surreal or satirical images from photographic materials as a response to quotations from reality cut out and then stuck into Cubist 'papiers colles' by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso they worked mainly with someone else's material with trouvailles. In contrast Ade uses only his own material for his combination images and his method for mounting images for 'editing them into each other' does not need of scissors and paste either. He cultivates the usually involuntary effect of double exposure a hazard from the days of analogue photography. He controls the chances of pictorial superimposition and confusion artfully and purposefully arranging his own deliberately positioned images among and on top of each other using a technically elaborate matching and omission process. Ade as well as teaching at the Stuttgart Akademie der Bildenden Kunste has intensively promoted cinematic animation techniques in his years as director of the Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film and since 1990 as founder-director of the Filmakademie in Ludwigsburg has allowed animated film and camera arts to develop in the greatest possible breadth in fact has helped to win the Ludwigsburg model the highest artistic respect in the film world. This all suggests how inventively and ingeniously his creative output mingles artistically creative and elaborately technical ideas and fascinations. Photography as a creative method for fine art - something the pioneers of photography dreamed of in the 19th century - becomes reality in Albrecht Ade's 'photages'. The text is in English and German. 97pp. Edition Axel Menges Hardcover

Beauty in the Rocks: The Photography of David M. Baird
BCCanada: TouchWood Editions 2006. Book. New. Cloth/Laminated Boards. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Autumn leaves dry in the sun curling to make endless abstract patterns of curved surfaces and shadows. Or are they leaves A closer look with Dr David M Baird reveals not leaves but layers of mud which have shrunk into leaf-like shapes as they dried. Baird's amazing photographs show that intriguing patterns and textures are all around us. In "Beauty in the Rocks" the esteemed geologist writer and poet takes readers on a photographic journey around the globe finding beauty and form in settings as exotic as the Galapagos and as close to home as Yoho National Park. His intense artistic images and accompanying text give mood and meaning to the changing earth and encourage readers to observe carefully the world around them recognise what they see and understand how it came to be. From the hexagonal 'organ pipe' patterns in Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway to the 'hoodoos' in Yoho National Park to the wrinkled surface skin of cooled liquid lava on James Island in the Galapagos the wonders captured in this book will engage and enlighten anyone with an interest in the natural world.

Tucker Toba; Swenzell Rina; Bush Alfred L.
Pueblo Artists : Portraits
Sante Fe NM U.S.A.: Museum of New Mexico Press 1998. Book. Very Good. Paperback. First Paperback Edition. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. 166pp.Toba Tucker's expressive portraits honouring Pueblo artists were made over a two-and-a-half year sojourn in the Southwest. These photographs form a record for history and art at the end of the twentieth century and portray Tucker's interest in the individuals and families who pass their artistic traditions from one generation to the next. The portraits reflect the sense of belonging that she so evidently found among the people who welcomed her into their homes and they attest to her abiding respect and deep appreciation for the native traditions that continue to carry the Pueblo spirit.

Peterson Brian
Voices for the Land : Minnesotans Write about the Places They Love
Saint Paul MN U.S.A.: Minnesota Historical Society PressU.S. 2002. Book. Illus. by Photographs By PetersonBrian. Like New. Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. In this extraordinary tribute to the importance of the ordinary places in our lives fifty-two Minnesotans write about the special sometimes secret places that give their lives meaning. For some it is their home or cabin or lake. For others it's a family farm or neighbourhood park a backyard garden or north woods trail: all places where we find a personal and spiritual connection to the land. VOICES FOR THE LAND explores this complex relationship by linking these personal essays with striking images captured by award-winning photographer Brian Peterson. This marriage of words images and landscape provides a powerful reminder of our deep and abiding connection to the land. The writers share the experience of these favourite places through their senses from the aching tingle of a cold winter night and the sound of ice 'singing' to the buzz of mosquitoes and the acrid smell of burning peat. The Voices for the Land project organised by the non-profit group 1000 Friends of Minnesota encouraged Minnesotans to write about the land they love and to fight for its preservation. The Minneapolis Star Tribune published a selection of these essays paired with Brian Peterson's photos in an award-winning series. VOICES FOR THE LAND brings these essays and photos together in book form for the first time. 116pp. Minnesota Historical Society Press,U.S. Paperback
