First published in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank’s The Americans changed the course of twentieth-century photography. In eighty-three 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 fifty-six years ago.

В 1972 году Кавалли провёл свой первый показ мод в знаменитом флорентийском особняке Палаццо Пити. С этого момента его характерные принты-рисунки на шелке, замше и коже раз и навсегда вошли в моду. Книга «Roberto Cavalli» пестрит иллюстрациями роскошных показов, ставших классикой, наряду с новыми фешн-фотографиями от звездного дуэта Мерта Аласа и Маркуса Пигготта под художественным руководством Фабьена Барона - одного из самых влиятельных представителей европейской модной индустрии.

Лейбл «Кавалли» не только является символом изысканной сексуальности, но и индикатором вечно изменчивых определений гламура, и остается сегодня в мире одним из первых действительно признанных брендов. Само имя – Роберто Кавалли - стало синонимом гламура и принтов. А его пламенный итальянский стиль по-прежнему очаровывает и удивляет весь мир. Кавалли, который предпочитает, чтобы его называли не "дизайнером", а "модным художником", создает линию мужской, женской и детской одежды, аксессуары, оптику, часы, парфюм, нижнее белье и пляжную одежду. Его бутики открыты в 50 странах по всему миру.

Lynn Goldsmith’s vast body of work testifies to her passion for rock and roll. Beginning in the late 1960s, she plunged into the scene working at Electra Records making promotional films. She worked with Joshua White, of the famed Joshua Light Show, creating Video Magnification at rock concerts and went on to become the first director of Late night network Television's ABC In-Concert series. Besides directing, she managed bands and then launched her own music career as Will Powers with the help of established artists like Steve Winwood, Sting, and Todd Rundgren, among others, all the while taking brilliant photographs. Equally at home in the photo studio and shooting reportage, she compiled an unparalleled portfolio of hard-to-get images.

Rockin’ is photographer Andrew Shaylor’s unique portrayal of the contemporary rockabilly scene. Granted exclusive access at events on both sides of the Atlantic, Shaylor captures the raw energy of the music and the commitment of the rockabilly community to authenticity.

After the pandemic, Rome will never be the same again, because the Eternal City has discovered the silence of man’s absence, an overpowering loneliness.

Like the rest of the world, Rome stopped during the pandemic triggered by Covid-19, remaining indefinitely in a state of suspended animation. The images taken in those days by the photographer Moreno Maggi capture this particular moment of a sleeping city and reveal a side of Rome that has never been seen before, in which the lines and geometries of the great works emerge more clearly than ever before, in all their beauty. Augmented reality makes the experience even more evocative, with visions of the deserted city created with a drone.

Psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati reminds us of what can always happen in dreams or nightmares: the familiar scene of the city emptied out. Art historian Claudio Strinati, an exceptional guide to this surreal city, describes monuments, historic buildings, and squares. 

Beauty envelops us and saves us in a version of Rome that becomes a symbol of eternal rebirth. This is a large volume that commemorates one of the most intense periods of the century.

About the Author:

Massimo Recalcati is an eminent psychoanalyst who has published numerous books. Claudio Strinati is one of the most authoritative art experts and a connoisseur of seventeenth-century Italy. Moreno Maggi is an architectural photographer.

Città Eterna. A photographic portrait of Rome

Rome is the city where past and present, spectacle and the everyday collide around every corner; where Baroque drama flourishes alongside ancient classical wonders; where necks crane to admire Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; and where Fellini immortalized la dolce vita. This photographic portrait of Rome brings you all the history and all the wonders of an incomparable cultural capital.

This bumper photographic portrait of Rome brings together hundreds of photographs from the 1840s through to today to explore the extraordinary history, beauty, and art of this incomparable cultural capital.

From sepia and black and white to colour, these outstanding images dating from the 1840s to the present day allow us — through the eyes of such photographers as Giacomo Caneva, Pompeo Molins, Giuseppe Primoli, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carlo Bavagnoli, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Pasquale De Antonis, Peter Lindbergh, Slim Aarons, and William Klein — to discover Rome in its many compelling guises: as the center of the Roman Empire, as one of the cradles of the Renaissance, as a favourite destination for travellers and a rich patchwork of varied neighbourhoods, as the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, a stage for politics, and as the perfect backdrop for film and fashion shoots.

Reaching back into illustrious archives, some of the book’s early images offer us a privileged Grand Tour glimpse of some of Rome’s most treasured landmarks, revealing the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Spanish Steps almost void of crowds. Later pictures survey the city’s contrasts — from the luxurious homes and leisure activities of the privileged to street stalls and laundry lines in the working-class districts of Trastevere and Testaccio. Some documentary-style shots show us the dark power of Mussolini, the city bedecked with his own iconography and imagery of strength, athleticism, and the fatherland.

As colour photography comes in, the city transitions from a neo-realismo aesthetic to postwar recovery and hedonism: all the glamorous gowns, exotic celebrities, and Via Veneto café culture immortalized by Fellini. Many famous faces are here, including Louis Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Anna Magnani, and Valentino.

Giovanni Fanelli, professor of Architecture History at the University of Florence, is the author of several works of architectural history, urban history, graphic arts and photography, translated into several languages; he has been the Scientific Director of the Fondazione Ragghianti (Lucca) and is series editor for a number of titles of Laterza publishers (Rome).

Unser Band, der aus Anlass des 70. Geburtstags von Romy Schneider (1938–1982) neu aufgelegt wird, ist eine Hommage in Bildern, die all die glanzvollen, intimen, auch tragische Momente der beruflichen und privaten Metamorphose Romy Schneiders vom »süßen Mädel« zur schönen, selbstbewussten Frau, zur gefeierten Schauspielerin und Diva versammelt. Es sind Photographien, die der italienisch-französische Photograph Giancarlo Botti von Romy zwischen 1961 und ihrem Tod 1982 aufgenommen hat. Die frühesten Bilder zeigen sie im Modesalon von Coco Chanel bei der Kostümprobe für ein Filmprojekt mit Luchino Visconti. In den folgenden zwei Jahrzehnten photographierte er sie u. a. bei den Dreharbeiten von Was gibt’s Neues, Pussy?, Halb elf in einer Sommernacht, Spion zwischen zwei Fronten, Die Geliebte des anderen, Das Mädchen und der Kommissar, Nachtblende, Gruppenbild mit Dame und Eine einfache Geschichte. Der vertraute Umgang zwischen dem Photographen und seinem Star führte auch dazu, dass Romy ihn häufig zu privaten Phototerminen bat. So nahm er Romy mit Sohn David in ihrer Pariser Wohnung auf und photographierte ihre Hochzeit mit Daniel Biasini. Die Beziehung fand ihren Höhepunkt in einer großen erotischen Aktserie, die Romy Schneider selbst angeregt hatte und die hier erstmals zusammenhängend veröffentlicht ist. Giancarlo Botti, 1930 in Italien geboren und seit Ende der 50er Jahre in Frankreich ansässig, machte sich mit Photoreportagen und Prominenten-Portraits einen Namen. Unser Band ist das Zeugnis einer langjährigen, von Sympathie und zunehmender Vertrautheit geprägten Zusammenarbeit mit Romy Schneider, die 1960 mit einem Reportage-Auftrag der französischen Frauenzeitschrift Marie Claire begann.

An intimate glance at Hollywood behind closed doors is revealed in this collection of glamorous, erotic and fascinating photographs shot in the Penthouse suite at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Throughout the year of 2008 an exquisite selection of celebrities including George Clooney, Cindy Crawford, Minnie Driver, Eva Herzigova, Dennis Hopper, Rachel Hunter, Sir Elton John, Heidi Klum, Kid Rock, Ray Liotta, Lindsay Lohan, Tatjana Patitz, Christian Slater, Sharon Stone and Donald and Rossif Sutherland were all invited to “live” in Room 23.

Deborah Andersonʼs photographic gaze is able to lasciviously lure Sharon Stone into bed with Cheryl Tiegs, makes men crawl submissively at Lindsay Lohan feet and brings a coquette smile to Heidi Klum pretty face while standing next to a bellboy with his exposed derrière.

Shooting people in beds and bathtubs, Deborah Andersonʼs sensual point-of-view lets her get physically close to her subjects, but also allows her to capture the essence of their personality, their sex appeal, sense of humor, irony and at times lets seep through their innermost fantasies. Despite all, her subjects remain the untouchable icons we know and adore - behind locked hotel room doors they are removed from reality, distantly desirable and mysterious. A simple peek through the voyeurʼs keyhole gives us a taste of luscious perfection we long for.

The celebrities portrayed in this book were invited by Diana Jenkins, to many more than a mere acquaintance. Growing up in Sarajevo, this charismatic businesswoman now lives divided between London and Los Angeles. After escaping the horrors of the Bosnian War, in which she lost a brother, Diana Jenkins established an international foundation dedicated to rebuilding the infrastructure of a war-tattered nation.

The idea for this book sprung from an encounter with Deborah Anderson, whose style in photography has been located by the Los Angeles Times as somewhere between classic French erotica and Helmut Newton. Like her father Jon Anderson, legendary lead vocalist of YES, Deborah has worked with many music talents over the years as singer songwriter.

With a characteristic mix of humor, vitality, and eroticism, German photographer Roswitha Hecke has created a body of sensitive portraits and reports spanning forty years, four continents and all aspects of human life: German theater, French cinema, Zurich prostitutes, Paris transvestites, a Bronx private eye or the homeless on the Bowery. This volume accompanies a major retrospective in Berlin.
