Lyon, Danny & Julian Cox
Danny Lyon: Message to the Future
Bew Haven CT: Yale/Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco 2016. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Coming of age in the 1960s the photographer Danny Lyon b. 1942 distinguished himself with work that emphasized intimate social engagement. In 1962 Lyon traveled to the segregated South to photograph the civil rights movement. Subsequent projects on biker culture the demolition and redevelopment of lower Manhattan and the Texas prison system and more recently on the Occupy movement and the vanishing culture in China’s booming Shanxi Province share Lyon’s signature immersive approach and his commitment to social and political issues that concern those on the margins of society. Lyon’s photography is paralleled by his work as a filmmaker and a writer. Danny Lyon: Message to the Future is the first in-depth examination of this leading figure in American photography and film and the first publication to present his influential bodies of work in all media in their full context. Lead essayists Julian Cox and Elisabeth Sussman provide an account of Lyon’s five-decade career. Alexander Nemerov writes about Lyon’s work in Knoxville Tennessee; Ed Halter assesses the artist’s films; Danica Willard Sachs evaluates his photomontages; and Julian Cox interviews Alan Rinzler about his role in publishing Lyon’s earliest works. With extensive back matter and illustrations this publication will be the most comprehensive account of this influential artist’s work. Clean copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Hudovernik, Robert
Jazz Age Beauties: The Lost Collection of Ziegfeld Photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston
NY: Universe 2013. 5th pr. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket 272 pages. Despite Prohibition the '20s was the decade of jazz flappers and hip flasks. While some took their vote and joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Movement others well took liberties. Compiled here for the first time are more than 200 publicity stills and photos of some of America's first "It" girls—the silent film-era starlets who paved the way for the cacophony of Monroes and Madonnas to follow. Accompanying these iconic images are the stories behind them including accounts from surviving Ziegfeld Girls as well as ads featuring them that helped perpetuate the allure of It girl glamour. When rare and striking portraits of these women surfaced on the internet in 1995 author Robert Hudovernik began researching their source. What he discovered was the work of one of the first "star makers" identified most with the Ziegfeld Follies Alfred Cheney Johnston. Johnston a member of New York's famous Algonquin Round Table who photographed such celebrities as Mary Pickford Fanny Brice the Gish Sisters and Louise Brooks fell out of the spotlight with the demise of the revue. A sumptuous snapshot of an era this book is also a look at the work of this "lost" photographer. Clean copy. Record # 397243 Universe hardcover

Picturing Freedom: African Americans & Their Cars A Photographic History SIGNED COPY
NY: Burns Archive Press 2022. 1st. Softcover. Very Good/None. Softcover 272 pages. SIGNED BY STANLEY BURNS on title page. Picturing Freedom chronicles and celebrates the photographic history of African Americans and their cars by focusing on personal images of the pride and joy of car ownership 1900-1980. Owning a car was a significant life-changing achievement. It offered special freedoms—the freedom to travel the freedom to work further from home the freedom to visit family and friends the freedom to avoid Jim Crow laws and the freedom to migrate. The car was unequivocal evidence of Black success and an important symbol of status in a country that had long fought their advancement in every area. Car ownership was purposely and proudly photographed. All of the photographs were taken in Black communities by a family member or a friend and reveal how African Americans represented themselves. This 2022 IPPY award-winning compilation of over 450 unique photographs is an inspiring visual narrative of American life. Clean bright copy. Record # 397193 Burns Archive Press paperback

Elizabeth A. Burns; Stanley B. Burns
Setting Sun: Painted Photographs of Meiji Japan SIGNED COPY
NY: Burns Archive Press 2017. 1st. Softcover. Very Good/None. Softcover 106 pages color plates throughout. SIGNED/INSCRIBED BY STANLEY BURNS on the title page. Japan an island nation isolated until the mid-nineteenth century opened its doors to foreign photographers in the 1860s. These photographers presented a visual cultural kaleidoscope of Japanese life to an eager outside world. The 160 photographs in this volume are curated from tourist albums and presented in the typical sequence. The modern reader will experience Meiji Japan in the way of a nineteenth century armchair traveler. While photographers in other countries were marketing sepia-toned prints photographers in Japan took advantage of local artists and had their prints exquisitely painted. As with all hand-rendered artworks quality varied; many photographs were executed so well as to challenge modern color photography. Photographers were limited by government restrictions and many scenes were set in studios rather than in real life. Despite the limitations tourists visiting the country could purchase albums filled with colorful renditions of Japan’s peoples and places. The carefully staged and approved photographs promoted an idealized and romanticized vision of Meiji Japan. Modernization and industrialization changed the country dramatically and the last vestiges of the disappearing feudal culture are captured by the camera. These intriguing photographs are beautiful multi-media artworks representing a vanished world. Clean copy. Record # 397244 Burns Archive Press paperback

Frank, Robert & Jack Kerouac
The Americans
Gottingen GR: Steidl 2012. 6th pr. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. A fine copy in a near fine dust wrapper. With an introduction by Jack Kerouac. Robert Frank's The Americans changed the course of twentieth-century photography. In 83 photographs Frank looked beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism ill-served by their politicians and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. Yet he also found novel areas of beauty in simple overlooked corners of American life. And it was not just Frank's subject matter cars jukeboxes and even the road itself that redefined the icons of America; it was also his seemingly intuitive immediate off-kilter style as well as his method of brilliantly linking his photographs together thematically conceptually formally and linguistically that made The Americans so innovative. More of an ode or a poem than a literal document the book is as powerful and provocative today as it was 75 years ago. A beautiful copy with Steidl kigh quality reproductions.

Robert Sullivan
Double Exposure: Resurveying the West with Timothy O'Sullivan America's Most Mysterious War Photographer
NY: Farrar Straus And Giroux 2024. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket 464 pages. A personal exploration of the American West and the work of one of America's greatest photographers. Timothy O'Sullivan is America's most famous war photographer. You know his work even if you don't know his name: A Harvest of Death taken at Gettysburg is an icon of the Civil War. He was also among the first photographers to elevate what was then a trade to the status of fine art. The images of the American West he made after the war while traveling with the surveys led by Clarence King and George Wheeler display a prescient awareness of what photography would become; years later Ansel Adams would declare his work 'surrealistic and disturbing.' At the same time we know very little about O'Sullivan himself. Nor do we know-really know-much more about the landscapes he captured. Robert Sullivan's Double Exposure sets off in pursuit of these two enigmas. This book documents the author's own road trip across the West in search of the places many long forgotten or paved over that O'Sullivan pictured. It also stages a reckoning with how the changes wrought on the land were already under way in the 1860s and '70s and how these changes were a continuation of the Civil War by other means.

Henri Cartier-Bresson in China: 1948-1949/1958
London/NY: Thames & Hudson 2019. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket The first visual chronicle of a little-known chapter in the career of Henri Cartier-Bresson—one of the great photographers of the twentieth century.In December 1948 Henri Cartier-Bresson traveled to China at the request of Life magazine. He wound up staying for ten months and captured some of the most spectacular moments in China’s history: he photographed Beijing in “the last days of the Kuomintang†and then headed back to Shanghai where he bore witness to the new regime’s takeover. Moreover in 1958 Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the first Western photographers to go back to China to explore the changes that had occurred over the preceding decade. The “picture stories†he sent to Magnum and Life on a regular basis played a key role in Westerners’ understanding of Chinese political events. Many of these images are among the best-known and most significant photographs in Cartier-Bresson’s oeuvre; his empathy with the populace and sense of responsibility as a witness making them an important part of his legacy. This volume allows these photographs to be reexamined along with all of the documents that were preserved: the photographer’s captions and comments contact sheets and abundant correspondence as well as the published versions that appeared in both American and European magazines.

August Sander: Masterpieces
Munich/NY: Prestel 2019. 1st. Hardcover. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket 304 pages. Featuring 60 subjects from August Sander's People of the 20th Century along with another 100 brilliant images from his large-scale project this book presents a selection of the most stunning images from the photographer's monumental work.

A novel feature of this book is that all the reproductions are based on vintage prints produced and authorized by August Sander himself. The croppings and the desired tonal values are authentically rendered here for the first time in the long publication history of Sander's brilliant portrait work. The originals are from the rich holdings of the Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne and from additional major collections such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. Like new in publisher's shrinkwrap. DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY. Record # 397211 Prestel hardcover
