Departures and Arrivals compiles world-renowned photographer Charles Harbutt’s favorite photographs.

Harbutt (born 1935) has been a prominent member of the American postwar photojournalist tradition ever since his documentation of the Cuban revolution in 1959. He subsequently joined Magnum Photos and was twice elected its president.

Harbutt’s pictures have been exhibited and collected by The Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in New York, the Art Institute in Chicago and the Corcoran in Washington. In 1997, his negatives, master prints and archives were acquired for the collection of the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson.

Departures and Arrivals is his third book. The black-and-white photographs gathered here highlight ordinary moments in extraordinary historical circumstances, as well as less fraught images of city living.

As Harbutt writes in his introduction to the volume: “There are pictures of men and boys, women and girls, statues, pensive monkeys, moments that took my breath away, angered me, made me smile. That broke my heart”. He adds: “History belongs to all of us, not just kings and generals”.

Departures and Arrivals records Harbutt’s half-century career at the forefront of American photography.

Belgian photographer Marc Lagrange has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most original and talented erotic photographers around.

Taking a distinctive approach to setting voluptuous scenes, Lagrange meticulously composes timeless settings-with each location and prop carefully chosen to enhance the romantic and revealing mood.

Building trust and chemistry with his models, Lagrange is daring but never crosses into mere titillation. The tension is palpable and a sense of mystery pervades each elaborate vignette.

Combining the glamour of classic Hollywood with the sensibility of an Old Master painting, all his alluring heroines seem at ease and approachable-yet just tantalizingly out of reach.

Diana Scheunemann's work actually requires few words. Even the most cursory of glances through this incredible collection gives the viewer the most intimate insight into her electric, scary, sexy, witty, hilarious otherworldly existence. Whether catching a glimpse of a solitary midnight swim, a moment of intense climax, or a naked masked ghoul on the back seat of the family saloon Diana's subjects are the anti-heros of our bland cofee table culture. Every page crackles with a raw energy and a visual dexterity, leads you helplessy onwards through this fantastical exhibition of sex, nightmares, life, death, rock'n'roll and everything along the way. Most importantly there is always a punchline and always a reason to celebrate being alive.

Her disturbing pictures of emotionally and physically deformed people, freaks, and outsiders of human society opened the eye to a reality long denied and made Diane Arbus a classic of American photography.

Her monograph with 81 selected plates and original texts, posthumously published in 1972, has become a classic in itself.

When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of 48, she was already a significant influence — even a legend — among serious photographers, although only a small number of her pictures were widely known.

The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in 1972, and the posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, offered the public its first encounter with Arbus’s achievements. The response was unprecedented.

The monograph of eighty photographs was edited and designed by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus’s friend and colleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal was to remain faithful to the standards by which Arbus judged her own work, and to how she hoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged as a timeless masterpiece, and translated into five languages, Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph remains the foundation of her international reputation.

Nearly fifty years has not diminished the impact of these pictures; they penetrate the psyche with the force of a personal encounter, and transform the way we see the world.

This is the first edition in which the image separations were created digitally; the files have been specially prepared by Robert J. Hennessey using prints by Neil Selkirk.

Taken in Florida a few weeks before JFK's presidential inauguration, Avedon shows Kennedy with Jackie, 4-year-old Caroline, and new-born John Jr. Whereas his celebrity portraits are usually emotionally charged and confrontational, these pictures, most of them unpublished, reflect a calm simplicity right before the hectic presidential years

Die Avantgarde-Architektur der 20er Jahre wird heute fast ausschließlich mit dem Bauhaus oder Le Corbusier assoziiert. »Neues Bauen«, für konservative Zeitgenossen seinerzeit ein Schimpfwort, in seiner deutschen Sprachfassung jedoch bald international ein Begriff, beschränkte sich aber keineswegs nur auf die westlichen Metropolen. Nach der Oktoberrevolution von 1917 begann sich das junge sowjetische Rußland zu formieren und auch nach außen als radikal neu darzustellen. Neu waren schließlich auch die Bauaufgaben: Gewerkschaftshäuser und Arbeiterclubs, Kraftwerke und Fabriken, kollektive Wohnanlagen und Sanatorien für die Werktätigen, staatliche Großkaufhäuser, Partei- und Verwaltungsbauten, ein Mausoleum für Lenin… Nicht nur in Moskau und St. Petersburg, auch im fernen Baku (Aserbaidschan), in Sochi am Schwarzen Meer oder im ukrainischen Charkow hielt die Moderne Einzug mit Bauten aus Glas, Stahl und Beton. Utopie, Bauhaus-Ästhetik und russischer Konstruktivismus fanden sich hier in einem auch quantitativ einzigartigen Experiment, das damals weltweit Aufsehen erregte: Avantgarde pur. Wie in Deutschland endete dieses innovative Abenteuer Anfang der 30er Jahre, als die politische und akademische Reaktion die Führung in der Partei übernahm. Die Auflösung der UdSSR 1991 gab den letzten Zeugen dieses so kurzlebigen Aufbruchs in die Moderne schließlich den Rest. Bis auf wenige prominente Ausnahmen erst verunstaltet, dann vergessen und verwahrlost, wurde ein Viertel der noch existierenden Bauten in den letzten Jahren Opfer der Spekulation. Das Buch dokumentiert die Relikte dieser »verlorenen Avantgarde« in ebenso beeindruckenden wie ernüchternden Photographien, die der renommierte britische Architekturphotograph Richard Pare auf mehreren Reisen durch die ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken in den 90er Jahren aufgenommen hat.
