‎Birds of the West Indies & Field Guide to Birds of the West Indies : Signed by Taryn Simon and numbered (ed. of 300)‎

‎, Hatje Cantz, 2016 Hardcover in decorative slipcase , 2 volumes, 1076 pages, ENG, 310 x 210 x 100 mm, NEW !!, packed with fine illustrations in colour / b/w, truly a collector's item.. ISBN 9783775741408.‎

‎Simon's Birds of the West Indies is a two-part body of work, whose title is taken from the definitive taxonomy of the same name by the American ornithologist James Bond. Ian Fleming, an active bird watcher, appropriated the author's name for his novels' lead character. He found it "flat and colourless," a fitting choice for a character intended to be "anonymous? a blunt instrument in the hands of the government." The first element of Simon's work is a photographic inventory of the women, weapons and vehicles of James Bond films made over the past fifty years. This visual database of interchangeable variables used in the production of fantasy examines the economic and emotional value generated by their repetition. In the second element of the work, Simon casts herself as the ornithologist James Bond, identifying, photographing, and classifying all the birds that appear within the 24 films of the James Bond franchise. Simon's discoveries often occupy a liminal space between reality and fiction; they are confined within the fictional space of the James Bond universe and yet wholly separate from it.‎

‎Photographer, writer, publisher, and curator Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was a visionary far ahead of his time. Around the turn of the 20th century, he founded the Photo-Secession, a progressive movement concerned with advancing the creative possibilities of photography, and by 1903 began publishing Camera Work, an avant-garde magazine devoted to voicing the ideas, both in images and words, of the Photo-Secession. Camera Work was the first photo journal whose focus was visual, rather than technical, and its illustrations were of the highest quality hand-pulled photogravure printed on Japanese tissue. This book brings together all photographs from the journal's 50 issues.‎

‎Anton Josef Trcka, Edward Weston, Helmut Newton : The Artificial of the Real‎

‎, Scalo Publishers, 1998 Hardcover, 208 pages, ENG, 280 x 230 x 25 mm, dustjacket, in fine condition, photographs in colour / b/w . ISBN 9783931141882.‎

‎This book presents 3 important photographers--Anton Josef Trcka, Edward Weston, and Helmut Newton, and explores the relationships between reality and representation. ? ====================== ? In the works of Anton Josef Trcka nature is picturesque, an embellishment atmospherically enhancing his portraits. In Edward Weston's work it appears in its most basic, purest forms, as both reality and its metaphor. And for Helmut Newton nature is the hyper-real backdrop against which he stages the pictorial worlds which accompany and pursue us today. Body: Trcka uses the body as a vehicle for a new expressiveness, a new gesture, a new image of mankind, which at the turn of this century could only be created by means of a photography both so close to, yet so remote from reality. For Weston the body is pure form, one of the world's primordial forms, an abstract representation of human, physical existence. And Newton: here bodies are creations invented by the director behind the camera, manifestly rooted in reality, but nevertheless vigorously detached from it for the sake of art and artificiality. The Artificial of the Real is about the art of perceiving reality and representing it. Three photographers show how human beings have experienced themselves in their world at different moments during this century. For this, photography is how the artificiality of the real is rendered perceptible.‎

‎Not one exhibition of these great German painters ? with whom Benjamin Katz has sometimes been associated for years ? can do without his subtly refined portraits. But his archive of more than 60 years of photography, with more than half a million negatives, still holds many surprises: in addition to series of conceptual photographs, there are also observations of everyday life ? landscapes, traces of industrial decline, architectural details, finds of ordinary poetry and moments of the absurd. The pictures are full of unspoken stories, use heterogeneous associations, and always allow the artist?s complex mind to shine through. Although the influences of older models such as Brassa , Rodtschenko and Cartier-Bresson are still evident, Benjamin Katz?s photographs are above all wordless narratives that combine humour as wisdom and suggestive expression in very simple narratives. One can only follow with admiration the results of this creation, in which concentrated observation illuminates rather minor moments of life with vivid clarity.‎

‎SURA : Egypt through a Belgian Lens‎

‎, Snoeck Publishers (Belgium), 2023 HB, 270 x 240 mm, 232 p, 220 illustraties , EN edition. ISBN 9789461617767.‎

‎First curator of the Egyptian department at the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH), Jean Capart (1877-1947) is often regarded as the founding father of Belgian Egyptology. Besides being the one who gave its impulse and rise to the development of the Egyptian collection at the RMAH, he was at the root of many other initiatives that contributed to turn, within a few years only, the RMAH into a prominent research centre in Egyptology. Under Capart's leadership, one of the world's finest and most complete Egyptological libraries arose in Brussels at the RMAH during the first decades of the 20th century. Keeping up with pioneering practices that Capart had observed in leading-edge institutions around Europe and the USA, the museum's library rapidly housed a very large collection of books and journals about Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology along with an important photographic archive which was constituted for research purposes and academic dissemination as well as education and public outreach. During his entire career, Capart constantly invested in the development of this collection by feeding it with photos he bought from colleagues and institutions abroad, and with photos he and his collaborators took during their scientific missions and trips throughout Egypt and in museums over the world. The initial core on which this important photographic archive built up, and which counts more than 53.000 individual non-digital items today, consists of almost 7.000 high resolution historical glass plate photographic negatives dated to the first half of the 20th century. Although this large sub-collection constitutes, by its diversity and historical significance, an extremely rich source of documentation and information, it has been much neglected during the past decades, and its existence and contents remain completely undisclosed to the larger Egyptological community. Following Capart's initial ambition, the SURA project (sura being the Arabic word for 'photo' ) aims to make this highly valuable photographic collection available again to the international scientific community as well as to the public, by ensuring its conservation and by creating a fully digitised database that will be freely available online in the near future.‎

‎Ara G ler a play of light and shadow.‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2023 Hardcover, 260 x 250 mm, 240 pages, ENG. edition FINE!. ISBN 9789464666298.‎

‎Turkey's best-known photographer, Ara G ler (1928-2018), depicted daily life in Turkey for three-quarters of a century. Documenting traders, fishermen, children and cats, G ler captured the rough edges of Istanbul as well as all its splendour, often in black and white but also in colour. Until recently, he could still regularly be seen on the terrace of his own caf Ara. Last summer a museum was opened there in memory of the photographer and his work. Now, some four years after his death, thousands of works from the Ara G ler archive have been digitised, revealing that he was so much more than 'the eye of Istanbul'. G ler created reportage photography over the world, including in Africa and Afghanistan. He photographed celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock, Salvador Dal , Maria Callas and Sophia Loren. His versatility can also be seen in experimental collages from the early part of his career and in more recent work in which he plays with light and colour. This book offers a contemporary view of his work and is the first monograph to show G ler's oeuvre in all its versatility, including in colour. It is the result of years of research by Studio Polat and Foam in Amsterdam. De bekendste fotograaf van Turkije, Ara G ler (1928-2018), bracht driekwart eeuw lang het dagelijks leven van Turkije in beeld. Met het documenteren van de handelaars, de vissers, de kinderen en de katten legde G ler de rauwe randen van Istanbul maar ook al haar pracht vast, vaak in zwart-wit en ook in kleur. Tot voor kort was hij nog geregeld te zien op het terras van zijn eigen caf Ara. Afgelopen zomer opende er een museum ter nagedachtenis van de fotograaf en zijn werk. Nu, zo'n vier jaar na zijn overlijden, zijn duizenden werken uit het Ara G ler-archief gedigitaliseerd en wordt getoond dat hij zoveel meer was dan 'the eye of Istanbul'. G ler maakte fotoreportages over de hele wereld, onder meer in Afrika en Afghanistan. Hij fotografeerde beroemdheden als Alfred Hitchcock, Salvador Dal , Maria Callas en Sophia Loren. Zijn veelzijdigheid is ook te zien in experimentele collages uit het begin van zijn carri re en in recenter werk waarin hij speelt met licht en kleur. Dit boek biedt een hedendaagse kijk op zijn werk en is de eerste monografie die G lers oeuvre in zijn veelzijdigheid toont, ook in kleur. Het is het resultaat van jarenlang onderzoek door Studio Polat en Foam in Amsterdam. Met tekstbijdragen van onder anderen kunsthistorica Kim Knoppers, fotohistoricus zge Baykan Calafato, fotograaf en filmmaker Ahmet Polat en Claartje van Dijk, curator en hoofd tentoonstelling bij Foam in Amsterdam.

‎, Hannibal Kannibaal , 2023 hardcover stofomslag, 25 x 18,4 cm, 448 pagina's, Nederlandstalige editie. ISBN 9789464666557.‎

‎De voorbije twaalf jaar fotografeerde Stephan Vanfleteren (1969) zeer intens in zijn daglichtstudio thuis. Atelier is de verzameling van dat werk. Zowel in daglicht als met kunstlicht gaat Vanfleteren op zoek naar schoonheid en betekenis. Grijze theaterdoeken zijn daarbij altijd aanwezig als constant terugkerende achtergrond. De fotograaf omarmt bekende persoonlijkheden en anonieme mensen. Hij toont het gelaat van een oude visser en inspecteert zowel de hand van Nick Cave als een op het strand gejutte fles. Hij adoreert zijn eigen opgroeiende kinderen en bevlogen oude kunstenaars. Hij bekijkt het verstijfde lijkje van een ijsvogeltje en het lichaam van een elastische danser, of hij slaat het traag schuivende zonlicht in zijn atelier gade. Vanfleteren sluit aan bij de traditie van oude en hedendaagse meesters, maar blijft trouw aan zijn karakteristieke stijl. Met zijn vakmanschap en kunstenaarshart maakt hij ons tot getuige n tot medeplichtige van een delict met invallend licht. Met tekstbijdragen van Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer en Stephan Vanfleteren.‎

‎Bettina Rheims has been one of the most acclaimed woman photographers of France since the early 80s, when she first showed her sensational female nudes and portraits. Film stars, actresses and artists, models, friends, country fair acrobats and strippers-- known and unknown women have posed in front of her lens during the past twenty years. Female Trouble, first published in 1989 by Schirmer/Mosel, presents a selection of some one hundred photographs--brilliant studies on womankind mostly in black and white, her favored technique mastered with a unique subtlety. The common denominator of this collection of photographs is Rheims' sensitive and delicate relation with her sitters, revealing an extraordinary originality, empathy, sense of style and feeling for both the manifold facets of femininity and pictorial eroticism. The plates are preceded by an introductory essay by Catherine Deneuve.‎

‎The skin of women who have been scratched, mistreated and loved - loved too much. Women who are very real. The cold, artificial light of a studio, like the light that bathed the artists' studios of the nineteenth century. In the center is a big rock made of papier-mache, at once base, pedestal and sculptor's stool. Haute couture dresses that have been torn, abused and recomposed - tragic and sublime, just like the Heroines who wear them. By playing on these four elements. Bettina Rheims transcends portrait, fashion and nude photography and touches on something more secret and intimate - something painful, amorous and captivating that comes more from the soul than from the body. .‎

‎In the annals of photographic history, there exist visionaries who have graced the world with their artistic prowess, capturing beauty, emotions, and moments that resonate with our souls. And then, there are those like Marcel de Baer, a man who navigated life?s starkly utilitarian landscapes with an extraordinary blend of precision and indifference. Within the pages of this small book, we embark on a journey into the enigmatic world of Marcel de Baer, a man who never aspired to be a photographer but, in the line of duty, became an inadvertent chronicler of life?s most somber moments. Marcel de Baer?s story unfolds within the solemn corridors of justice, where he stood as an expert witness for the public prosecutor. His domain was far removed from the charming streets of artistic Paris or the grandeur of exotic landscapes; instead, it was the gritty aftermath of automobile collisions in rural Belgium. As the sentinel of the law, he would promptly arrive at the scenes of major traffic accidents, meticulously documenting what had transpired through the lens of his camera, precise measurements, and technical drawings. His duty was not to craft visual poetry but to distill the stark facts into a narrative comprehensible to judges and juries. With a clinical eye, he faithfully discharged his responsibilities, capturing the aftermath of chaos‎
