Steven Kasher , Geoffrey Batchen, et al
America and the Tintype
GR: Steidl 2008. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 272 pages. One of the most intriguing and little studied forms of nineteenth-century photography is the tintype. Introduced in 1856 as a low-cost alternative to the daguerreotype and the albumen print the tintype was widely marketed from the 1860s through the first decades of the twentieth century as the most popular photographic medium. The picture-making preference of the people it was almost never used for celebrity portraiture: It was affordable portable unique and available almost everywhere. Because of its ubiquity the tintype provides a startlingly candid record of the political upheavals that rocked the four decades following the American Civil War-and the personal anxieties they induced. As this book's author Steven Kasher argues the tintype studio became a kind of performance space in which sitters could act out their personal identities. Sitters brought to the tintype studio not just their family and friends but also the tools of their trade costumes toys stuffed animals and other such props. Often they would enact stereotypes and fantasies that reflected or challenged conventional gender race and class roles. Surprisingly the tintype was almost exclusively an American phenomenon rarely used in other countries and this book demonstrates how this modest form of photography provides extraordinary insight into the development of national attitudes and characteristics in the formative years of the early Modern era. Featured in this book are more than 200 remarkable examples of tintypes mostly drawn from the Permanent Collection of the International Center of Photography in New York.

Looked at together his images from those years create a visual time capsule. This large book is filled with a cacophony of Yippies Black Panthers Weathermen Hare Krishnas Andy Warhol Factory Superstars pop artists rock musicians astronauts pacifists politicians electroshock therapists media correspondents civil rights lawyers antiwar activists and more--all shot against his signature white background. Arbus a novelist and writer for magazines including Rolling Stone and The Nation and the daughter of photographer Diane Arbus conducted interviews with many of the subjects.

Brief biographies of the portrait sitters as well as a chronology that spans the first signs of the war in Vietnam in 1960 to its final conclusion in 1973 provide excellent context for the images.

Bailey, David and Robin Muir
David Bailey: Chasing Rainbows
London: Thames & Hudson 2001. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 224 pages. In this latest celebration of his art Bailey brings together for the first time the best of all his "beauty" photographs from the 1960s up to the present day. Commissioned by the best-known fashion magazines of the time these portraits of what Vogue once called "The Bailey Kind of Girl" include models such as Jean Shrimpton Marie Helvin Penelope Tree and Bailey's wife Catherine Dyer. Blended with these are Bailey's startling ethnographic portraits of for example Asaro mud men and Indian dancers and his own paintings. In his illuminating introduction Robin Muir sets these photographs in the context of the period in which they were taken and reminds us that for over forty years Bailey has challenged our notions of female beauty with his own highly personal vision. The sensational color images collected here testify that few are more expert than this photographer on a subject that is today preoccupying us more than ever. No admirer of either beauty or Bailey will want to be without this book. 110 color photographs. Record # 360928 Thames & Hudson hardcover

Tucker, Anne W
Brassai: The Eye of Paris
NY: Abrams 1999. 1st. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 367 pages. Brassaï: The Eye of Paris is both the catalog of an exhibition of Brassaï's photographs organized by the Houston Fine Arts Museum and a valuable biography of the artist. In 1932 only three years after he purchased his first camera a Leica Brassaï published a portfolio of 64 photos titled Paris by Night that caused an immediate sensation. His lively eye seen in an enigmatic photograph at the beginning of the book captured fresh unique images of the city and its citizens. Fascinated by the underworld he moved easily among gangsters and prostitutes in bars and bordellos; he was equally at home among the fashionable and wealthy and just as devastating in his depiction of them. He used magnesium flares for low-contrast shadows catching his subjects in natural poses at significant moments. The wide range of Brassaï's work is suggested by his formal nudes which have an affinity with Edward Weston's and his informal portraits which remind viewers of Diane Arbus who admired his work. Brassaï was a central figure in the intellectual and artistic circles of Montparnasse that made Paris the most exciting city in the world during the 1930s. In a long essay that includes lively anecdotes of the photographer's relationships with Picasso Henry Miller Kertesz and many other luminaries the author re-creates the aesthetic and philosophical ferment of the period. Brassaï: The Eye of Paris recognizes the artist's talents in five different media--photography filmmaking sculpture writing and drawing--but focuses on what he is best known for: lyrical and penetrating photographs of the City of Light.

Walker Evans , James Agee, et al
Many Are Called
New Haven CT: Yale University Press 2004. reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 208 pages. Between 1936 and 1941 Walker Evans and James Agee collaborated on one of the most provocative books in American literature Let Us Now Praise Famous Men 1941. While at work on this book the two also conceived another less well-known but equally important book project entitled Many Are Called. This three-year photographic study of subway passengers made with a hidden camera was first published in 1966 with an introduction written by Agee in 1940. Long out of print Many Are Called is now being reissued with a new foreword and afterword and with exquisitely reproduced images from newly prepared digital scans. Many Are Called came to fruition at a slow pace. In 1938 Walker Evans began surreptitiously photographing people on the New York City subway. With his camera hidden in his coat—the lens peeking through a buttonhole—he captured the faces of riders hurtling through the dark tunnels wrapped in their own private thoughts. By 1940-41 Evans had made over six hundred photographs and had begun to edit the series. The book remained unpublished until 1966 when The Museum of Modern Art mounted an exhibition of Evans’s subway portraits. Record # 362455 Yale University Press hardcover

Harrison, Martin
Paul Himmel: Photographs
NY: Assouline 1999. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 160 pages. This is the first comprehensive survey of the work of Paul Himmel b.1914 and the first publication about his work in 40 years. The son of immigrant Bohemian intellectuals Himmel took up photography as a teenager and studied graphic journalism under art director Alexey Brodovitch. He worked from 1947 to 1969 as a professional photographer for such clients as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and several of his photos were included in Edward Steichen's "Family of Man" exhibition. By 1969 he had become disenchanted with photography and retrained as a psychotherapist. An exhibit of his photographs in New York City in 1996 brought him back to public attention. Himmel's photographs are genuinely fresh and unusual. Many are high-contrast emphasizing the design and patterns contained in an image; subjects range from New York City scenes to nudes reduced to grainy vestiges to color abstractions. This monograph richly reproduces Himmel's engaging pictures of humanity in all its variations and is recommended for all fine art and photography collections. Record # 360914 Assouline hardcover

Robert Mapplethorpe and Ntozake Shange
Robert Mapplethorpe: The Black Book
Schirmer/Mosel 2010. reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 108 pages. A classic indeed perhaps the best of the Mapplethorpe books. And for many most certainly the most typical Mapplethorpe now available once again thanks to this re-edition. The Black Book first published in 1986 presents 96 formally stringent and highly erotic nudes all of them photographs of black men either as full figures or staged as details as fragments of their bodies. Stylized as classical statues or provocatively in all their presence and sensuous radiance. Black-and-white photography was Mapplethorpe's preferred medium. And his obsessive aesthetics was based on completely mastering it as this enabled him to visualize any number of tonal gradations and penetrate deep into the very pores of the gleaming black skin. It is a method that reached a climax in these images. The Black Book Mapplethorpe s homage to the black male body has always been one of the most important visual contributions to the discussion on beauty sensuality and sexuality in photography.

Lawrence Durrell and Mark Haworth-Booth
Brandt Nudes: A New Perspective
NY: Thames & Hudson 2013. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 176 pages. Few photographers have spanned the genres from photojournalism to true artistic endeavor as completely as Bill Brandt. Yet Brandt’s journalism was never strictly reportage; all his work reflected a clear artistic purpose. His qualities as an artist were never better expressed than in his series of nudes photographed in the studio and on location over a period of thirty-five years. He published that work in two justly famous books: Perspective of Nudes 1961 and Bill Brandt Nudes 1980. Now the oeuvre has been brought together in a single volume in Brandt Nudes.This book reflects Brandt’s original selection and organization of the images. Each of the sections is introduced with a succinct and revealing essay on the work by Mark Haworth-Booth. 142 duotone illustrations Record # 361977 Thames & Hudson hardcover

McCauley, Elizabeth Anne
A.A.E. Disderi and the Carte de Visite Portrait Photograph
New Haven: Yale University Press 1985. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover blue cloth 262 pages. Illustrated with black & white photographs. Clean tight copy. This portrait of Disderi and the carte de visite he patented in Paris in 1854 is far more than a biography. The c-d-v or photographic calling card was a relatively inexpensive product that made the photographic portrait available to the middle class . McCauley's carefully documented work explores Disderi's career and oeuvre the impact of mass-produced celebrity cartes on the social and cultural life of mid-19th-century France and aesthetics in c-d-v portraiture. The final third of the book is an art historical evaluation of the importance of the c-d-v for portrait painting of the period . The fine bibliography generous illustrative matter and detailed notes add to the value of this work for the avid student of photohistory or 19th-century studies.

Lee Friedlander
Apples & Olives
NY: Fraenkel Gallery/Hasselblad Foundation 2005. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 64 1stpages. The master photographer best known for his extensive insightful documentation of "the American social landscape"--from jazz musicians to factory hands to New York pedestrians and office workers zoning out at their keyboards--has recently been spending more time looking at the literal natural landscape. His monumental 2005 MoMA retrospective showed for the first time a new series of landscapes made in the American West while for Olives and Apples he has looked back over the last decade's work and culled a forest tree by tree. His docile subjects apple trees photographed in New York State and olive trees photographed in France Italy and Spain from 1997-2004 are presented in circumstances ranging from sunny leafy summer health to glittering winter ice-storm glory. Some of the most striking compositions are shot from just inside the reach of a tree's furthest twigs so that expanding branching limbs fill the frame stretching out around the viewer.

Greenough, Sarah/Juan Hamilton
Alfred Stieglitz - Photographs & Writings
New York: National Gallery of Art/Callaway Editions 1983. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 247 pages. Illustrated with black & white photographs. Dust jacket with 2 tape repaired tears at bottom edge of front cover. Clean tight copy. Alfred Stieglitz was a seminal figure in 20th century art. One of the foremost photographers in the century he also helped other photographers define what the aesthetic means in photography. He also was a champion for many of the best known photographers and seriously boosted their careers. In painting he was an early advocate of important 20th century artists like Arthur Dove and Georgia O'Keeffe. In addition he published two influential journals about photography and exhibited art in his famous gallery in New York. Clearly though photography was his first love. "I have all but killed myself for Photography." This book focuses on his central vision of photography "search for objective truth and pure form" which increasingly was about "antiphotographs" or images that move beyond simple representation. This concept is examined both in 73 of his best images and through numerous excerpts from his voluminous writings on the subject over 200 essays.

Mark, Mary Ellen
Twins
NY: Aperture 2003. 1st. hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a dust jacket. 80 black and white tritone portraits by Mark. Clean bright copy. Mary Ellen Mark's fascination with twins has inspired a remarkable portrait series. Traveling to Twinsburg Ohio for their annual "Twins Day" festival allowed her to photograph hundreds of twins. In the two consecutive years Mark visited the festival she used a complex set-up for the seemingly simple aesthetic. Every detail is captured through the Polaroid 20x24 camera Mark used. Between the camera and dynamic lighting every wrinkle toned muscle body hair and freckle is visible. Using the studio all attention of the festival is lost. Instead the attention is given to the twins themselves. A thoughtful decision that emphasizes Marks pure interest in her subjects. The final pages of the book are dedicated to bits of conversation Mark collected after shooting the photographs. Each fragment from the conversations revels more about each pair connecting the viewer even more with every photograph. Record # 75459 Aperture hardcover

Haakan Ludwigson
Håkan Ludwigson: Balls and Bulldust
Steidl 2015. 1st. Hardcover. Hardcover terra-cotta cloth with pastedown photo on front cover. 264 pages 170 color illustrations. Balls and Bulldust is a rich collection of images that explores life and work among the cattlemen in the Northern Territory in Australia. It is not another cowboy story rather one about men and women working very hard and seeking some kind of solitude and sense of space in the midst of harsh conditions. For some life in Australia's outback is a life-long routine. The young are attracted by its romanticism which is―more often than not―shattered by reality's hardships. The red dust covering this vast scrubby landscape and filling the air is prevalent in Ludwigson's images. Days can be blistering hot and temperatures at nights may sometimes fall below zero. People sleep on "swags" on the ground for weeks. The food is drab and the men are in their saddles twelve hours a day mustering herds of cattle branding and castrating young bulls. Hakan Ludwigson spent three months with the cattlemen of the Australian outback early in his career and returned to his native Sweden with a body of work that became Balls and Bulldust. DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY. Record # 380090 Steidl hardcover
