Peter Lindbergh is courted by international fashion magazines and is loved for his sensitive portraits of the most beautiful women in the world.

The renowned photographer who lives in Paris and New York and works all over the world has also published two earlier books with overwhelming success: Ten Women (1996) with dream shots of ten dream models, and Images of Women (1997), a collection of famous fashion photographs of beautiful women.

As a climax in his third book, Untitled 116, Peter Lindbergh presents a collection of his most impressive photographs of 116 stars in the world of pop music, cinema and fashion, such as Monica Bellucci, Juliette Binoche, Naomi Campbell, Geraldine Chaplin, Catherine Deneuve, Linda Evangelista, Aretha Franklin, Daryl Hannah, Milla Jovovich, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Demi Moore, Jeanne Moreau, Charlotte Rampling, Anna Nicole Smith, Sharon Stone, Tina Turner, Isabella Rossellini, Veruschka, and many others.

Untold Stories. The companion volume to Peter Lindbergh’s first self-curated exhibition

This volume documents the first exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself shortly before his untimely death. With more than 150 photographs from the early 1980s to the present, it offers new and unexpected insights into the work of the legendary photographer. The selection is complemented by detailed texts on the exhibition’s origins and a tribute by Wim Wenders, a close friend of Lindbergh’s.

The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself, shortly before his untimely death, Untold Stories at the Düsseldorf Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer’s unrestrained vision and creativity. Given total artistic freedom, Lindbergh curated an uncompromising collection that sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. This artist's book, the official companion to the landmark exhibition, offers an extensive, firsthand look at the highly personal collection. When it came to printing his photos, Lindbergh chose a special uncoated paper – a thin sheet with a soft, open surface – as a deliberate aesthetic statement.

Renowned the world over, Lindbergh’s images have left an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history. Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and narrates new stories while staying true to his lexicon. In both emblematic and never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents intimate moments shared with personalities who had been close to him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright, Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau, Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling and many more.

This XL volume presents more than 150 photographs—many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director Felix Krämer, as well as an homage by close friend Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work.

Lola Alvarez Bravo was Mexico’s first woman photographer, and her career is exceptional both for its remarkable range and for the compelling quality of her work. Approach­ing photography from multiple angles, she worked as a photojournalist, commercial photographer, and professional portraitist, while also creating intensely personal images of people, places, and things throughout her native Mexico. In addition, she played a vital role in the Mexican cultural scene, as an inspiring teacher of photography, as friend of innumerable artists and writers (many of whom she photographed), and as owner of a prestigious gallery that pre­sented the first solo show by her friend Frida Kahlo, the subject of some of Alvarez Bravo’s most powerful portraits.

Lola Alvarez Bravo moved to Mexico City from her hometown in Jalisco at age three, and Mexico City remained her home base for the rest of her long life - except for two years in Oaxaca with her then husband, Manuel Alvarez Bravo. She began making photographs, under his tutelage, in 1926 and continued photographing for the next sixty years. Although some of her photographs reflect Manuel’s influence - they shared the same cameras and often the same roll of film - Lola achieved her own aesthetic dur­ing the 1940s and ’50s, concentrating on two particularly vivid bodies of work: portraiture and street photography. In these engaging images she found a way to reveal a lyricism in the world around her, producing quiet reveries on life lived in the moment.

This is the first English-language book on Lola Alvarez Bravo to encompass the full range of her work, including some images never before published and several of her little-known photomontages. Eliza­beth Ferrer’s insightful text - based on far-ranging research, including interviews with the artist and her friends - captures the unique spirit of both the photographer and her extraordinary photographs.

LOLA ALVAREZ BRAVO (1903–1993) lived and worked in Mexico City. Her work is in numerous collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where her archive is maintained. Her work is represented by Throckmorton Fine Art, New York, and Galería Juan Martín, Mexico City.

Die Photographen der legendären Agentur Magnum wurden vor allem mit ihren Bildern und Reportagen aus den Kriegs gebieten der Welt berühmt. Robert Capa, Initiator und 1947 Mitbegründer der Agentur, gilt zwar als der unerschrockenste und beste Kriegsphotograph seiner Zeit. Er war es aber auch, der Magnum das Tor zur Welt des Films öffnete: Seine Freundschaft mit John Huston und eine Liaison mit Ingrid Bergman lockten ihn Mitte der 40er Jahre nach Hollywood und verschafften der Agentur Aufträge an ganz anderen als den gewohnten Schau - plätzen. Seit den 50er Jahren begleiteten Magnum-Photographen immer wieder die Dreharbeiten berühmter Filmproduktionen, zum Teil sogar exklusiv. Aus den über 100 Filmen, die Magnum am Set dokumentierte, wurden zwölf für dieses Buch ausgewählt: Von John Waynes Alamo bis Antonionis Zabriskie Point wird in exemplarischen Bildstrecken das besondere Vorgehen, der spezifische Blick deutlich, den so berühmte Magnum - Photographen wie Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold, Elliott Erwitt, Erich Lessing, Inge Morath oder Dennis Stock an den Orten des filmischen Geschehens und im direkten Umgang mit den Stars vor und hinter der Kamera entwickelten. Der Filmhistoriker Hans Helmut Prinzler beschreibt in seiner Einführung die Entwicklung der Set-Photographie und des Star-Portraits und verfasste zu jedem Film kurze Abrisse der Handlung und Entstehungsgeschichte. Unser Band begleitet eine Ausstellung in der Versicherungskammer Bayern, München, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Magnum Paris organisiert wurde.

Since the 1950s, Magnum photographers have regularly, and sometimes exclusively, accompanied movie productions. Twelve productions were selected for this book, with stunning pictures, summaries of the plots, and background information.

Первое издание "Magnum Magnum" стало фотоальбомом десятилетия, весьма заметной книгой, посвященной видению, воображению и кристальной ясности, присущей самому известному в мире фотоагентству. Нынешнее издание впервые после успеха предыдущего выходит в новом формате.

Более 400 фотографий, выбранных фотографами "Магнума", - это одновременно и фотохроника последних 60 лет, составленная из знаменитых снимков легендарного творческого коллектива, и проникновение в суть того, что является великой фотографией, с критической точки зрения фотографов агентства.

Даже будучи упорядоченными по авторам, снимки в "Magnum Magnum" возвращают нас к ранней истории "Магнума",восстанавливая уникальную творческую атмосферу, в которой каждый из четырех основателей агентства работал со снимками своих коллег. Этот альбом составлен нынешними фотографами "Магнума", которые выбрали по шесть работ своих 69 коллег и попытались объяснить причины такого выбора.

Книга включает работы и признанных гениев фотографии XX века, и современных мастеров и восходящих звезд профессии. Она будет интересна всем, кто интересуется фотографии и миром, который она запечатлевает.

 A spectacular discovery: the first Magnum group show from 1955 to 1956, now in book form.

Magnum Photos, founded in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, David Seymour, and Bill Vandivert, is one of the most famous photo agencies in the world. Until only recently, it was thought that the earliest Magnum group exhibition was the one curated by L. Fritz Gruber for the photokina in Cologne in the fall of 1956. However, more than fifty years later, an even earlier show has been rediscovered, Magnum Photo: Face of Time, which traveled to five Austrian cities in 1955/56.

This is the first publication to provide a complete documentation of the exhibition. A total of eighty-three vintage prints by eight Magnum photographers — Werner Bischof, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Ernst Haas, Erich Lessing, Jean Marquis, Inge Morath, and Marc Riboud — are featured in large-format reproductions. The show’s main theme was “photographic humanism”: people and their living spaces, photographed without any kind of sensationalism by committed photojournalists who believed in educating and bettering the world through their authentic documents of it.

An exciting monograph dedicated to an extraordinary figure and one of last century’s most famous and influential artists. ​

Man Ray (1890-1976) was a photographer, painter, and creator of objects, experimental films, and images which were at times enigmatic. This catalogue, which presents more than 200 works and compares and contrasts images with biographical details, is divided into three main sections: Man Ray’s formative years spent between New York and an artists’ colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey; the Paris period; and the period spent between Hollywood and Paris, France-the city he ultimately chose to adopt as his home.

The publication describes the creation of some of his most famous pieces and the motifs-very often of females-that inspired the works. Man Ray’s life was marked by a succession of love affairs with famous and intriguing women, and this catalogue dedicates several sections to this topic.

The book also deals with the themes permeating Man Ray’s work throughout the years, such as his passion for chess, the relationship between reality and illusion, and experimental photography and film. Comparisons are also made with the works of some of the most important artists of the twentieth century, such as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp, and Francis Picabia.

Experiments in photography

The artist who brought Surrealism to a new medium

Man Ray (1890-1976) is indisputably one of the most original artists of the 20th century. His revolutionary nude studies, fashion work, and portraits opened a new chapter in the history of photography. Born under the name of Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, he began his artistic career in New York. In 1921 he moved to Paris, where he was enthusiastically welcomed into Dadaist and Surrealist circles. Man Ray experimented tirelessly with new photographic techniques, multiple exposure, rayography, and solarization being some of his most famous. Erotic, playful, and sometimes sinister, his compositions show unusual bodies and objects: strange, striking images that transform our perceptions of reality. This collection of famous, lesser known, and unknown works fully illustrates Man Ray’s singular visionary power.

Rays of Light Man Ray, multitalented master of modernist imagery 

Man Ray (1890 - 1976) was a polymath modernist, working in painting, sculpture, film, printmaking, and poetry. But it was his work in photography, with nude studies, fashion work, and portraiture that saw him pioneering a new chapter in the history of camerawork and art. With a wide-ranging collection of both his famous and lesser-known works, this monograph gives a vivid overview of Man Ray's multifaceted practice and photographic legacy. It traces Ray from his artistic beginnings in New York through to his central role in the Parisian avant-garde, where he featured in the first Surrealist exhibition with Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Joan Miro, and Pablo Picasso and produced such now iconic works as Noire et blanche and Le Violon d Ingres.

Through numerous examples of still life, portraiture, and beyond, we see how Ray constantly experimented with new techniques, pushing photography out of its documentary domain into ethereal, poetic expressions through multiple exposure, solarization, and the particular brand of photograms he wittily termed rayography.

Er hat sie alle gekannt und photographiert: seine Freunde, die Dadaisten und Surrealisten, die Künstler von Montparnasse und ihre Modelle, die Amerikaner der Lost Generation, die sich um Gertrude Stein scharten, die internationale Avantgarde auf der Durchreise oder im Exil, die Pariser Prominenz aus der Welt der Mode, des Theaters, des Kinos Man Ray (1890-1976), Amerikaner, Photograph, Maler, Objektkünstler und Mitbegründer von New York Dada, kommt 1921 nach Paris. Um Geld zu verdienen, legt er sich ein Portraitstudio zu, das schnell zum Treffpunkt von Künstlern und Literaten, Schauspielern und Tänzern, den schillernden Figuren der Demi-monde und der Haute Volée wird. Tausende müssen es in dem halben Jahrhundert gewesen sein, das Man Ray mit einer elfjährigen Zwangsunterbrechung (Hollywood 1940-1951) in seiner Wahlheimat Paris verbrachte und mitgestaltete. Exakt 12.304 Negative aus den Studiobeständen Man Rays, davon knapp zwei Drittel Portraits, gelangten Mitte der 90er Jahre in den Besitz des Centre Pompidou, Paris. Archiviert und digitalisiert wird dieser unschätzbare Fundus jetzt als großformatiges Buch der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt: eine Auswahl von 500 Portraitaufnahmen, das Gesicht einer ganzen Epoche in meisterhaften Photographien eines Meisters der Improvisation und Menschenkenntnis.

Bringing together unique and rarely seen photographs, paintings, sculpture and drawings, this exquisite book tells the story of the tumultuous relationship between the artists Man Ray (1890–1976) and Lee Miller (1907–1977). From 1929 to 1932, the two lived together in Paris, first as teacher and student, and later as lovers. Historically, Miller has been described as Man Ray’s muse, but Partners in Surrealism reveals how their brief, mercurial love affair was a key source of mutual and sustained inspiration, resulting in some of the most powerful work of each artist’s career. Featuring a candid and poignant contribution from Antony Penrose, the son of Miller and the English painter Roland Penrose, on the relationship between Man Ray and his parents in later years, this is an extraordinary exploration of the love, lust and desire that drove the art of the Surrealists.

Man Ray is a legend. A tireless experimenter with photographic techniques who co-founded the Dadaist and Surrealist Art movements, he also created a new photographic art that emphasized chance effects and surprising juxtapositions. This superb collection of avant-garde still lifes, surrealist portraits, and camera-less prints or "rayographs" from the 20's and 30's is evidence of his dazzling innovation. Taken together, his photographs extended our awareness and means of expression, laid the groundwork for today's multi-media techniques, and made him one of the most admired artists of the twentieth century.
