Andres Serrano is one of America's most mythologized contemporary artists. To many, he's the man responsible for Piss Christ and a national scandal over government funding of controversial art. For those who look beyond the headlines, he's a highly accomplished and ever-evolving photographic artist showing us the ordinary in extraordinary ways. With his post-Piss Christ series, Nomads, he made studio portraits of New York's ethnic homeless and juxtaposed them with members of the Ku Klux Klan. In the Morgue series he dissected violent death and found the human thread on the coroner's slab, while A History of Sex explored the human mating urge in its infinite variety.

Andres Serrano considers America his greatest achievement. Three years of work produced over one hundred 50-by-60-inch photographic portraits representing the cultural diversity of this immigrant country, as filtered through the critical lens of Serrano. There are celebrities: Arthur Miller, Snoop Dogg, Anna Nicole Smith, B.B. King, Vanessa del Rio; and ordinary citizens: a pimp, a boy scout, a doctor, a Russian Orthodox Bishop. America is intimate, honest, and demanding of response, like all Serrano's work. The second half of this big volume, Other Work, is a retrospective of Serrano's previous photographic series. Together these two impressive halves create the whole of Andres Serrano's artistic oeuvre.

In 1989 US Senator Jesse Helms accused Andres Serrano of taunting the American people. America and Other Work is the perfect rebuttal.

Andy Goldsworthy is one of the most prominent artists in the world today. Although commissions take him all over the world, the landscape of Northern England and his native Scotland remains at the heart of his work. Goldsworthy’s best-selling books for Abrams include A Collaboration with Nature, Time, Stone, and Passage.

Since 1995, Andy Goldsworthy has created a series of artworks in Northwest England in sheepfolds: stone enclosures found across the countryside that have been used for assembling, sheltering, and washing sheep for hundreds of years. After working on and off for more than a decade, he completed thirty-five folds, often rebuilding them in the process; many of them can now once again serve their intended purpose. These form the core of Enclosure: they reflect Goldsworthy’s lifelong interest in the land, its history, and the people who work on it. They are accompanied by a rich collection of ephemeral work related in various ways to sheep, including a spectacular series of large sheep paintings—paintings made by the hoof-prints of sheep.

Enclosure, which joins the sublime tradition of the art and literature of the landscape of the British Isles, is an exciting addition to the series of eight bestselling books that Goldsworthy has already produced for Abrams.

Annie’s Big Book. 40 years of era-defining photography, now in an accessible edition

When Benedikt Taschen asked the most important portrait photographer working today, Annie Leibovitz, to collect her pictures in a SUMO-sized book, she was intrigued by the challenge. The project took several years to develop and when it was finally published in 2014, it weighed in at 26 kg (57 pounds).

This incredible collection is now available in an accessible, XXL book format.

Leibovitz drew on more than 40 years of work, starting with the photojournalism she did for Rolling Stone magazine in the 1970s through the conceptual portraits she made for Vanity Fair and Vogue. She selected iconic images—such as John Lennon and Yoko Ono entwined in a last embrace — as well as portraits that had rarely, if ever, been seen before.

The Annie Leibovitz SUMO covered political and cultural history, from Queen Elizabeth II and Richard Nixon to Laurie Anderson and Lady Gaga.

“What I had thought of initially as a simple process of imagining what looked good big, what photographs would work in a large format, became something else,” Leibovitz says. “The book is very personal, but the narrative is told through popular culture. It’s not arranged chronologically and it’s not a retrospective. It’s more like a roller coaster.”

Fans of Leibovitz and her many celebrated subjects can now enjoy that same roller coaster ride for themselves with this unlimited edition.

The photographer and author:

Annie Leibovitz is one of the most influential photographers of our time. She began working as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone in 1970 while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art Institute. By 1983, when she left Rolling Stone for the revived Vanity Fair, she was already closely identified with the conceptual, theatrical style that is her hallmark. In subsequent decades, at Vanity Fair and Vogue and in independent projects, she has worked across many photographic genres and developed a large body of work — portraits of actors, directors, writers, musicians, athletes, and political and business figures, as well as fashion photographs — that expanded her collective portrait of contemporary life. She has published several books and has exhibited widely. She is a Commandeur in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and has been designated a Living Legend by the U.S. Library of Congress.

Paul Roth is the director of the Ryerson Image Centre in Toronto.

“The first thing I did with my very first camera was climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji is a lesson in determination and moderation. It would be fair to ask if I took the moderation part to heart. But it certainly was a lesson in respecting your camera. If I was going to live with this thing, I was going to have to think about what that meant. There were not going to be any pictures without it."
— Annie Leibovitz

“I don’t have two lives,” Annie Leibovitz writes in the Introduction to this collection of her work from 1990 to 2005. “This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it.”

Portraits of well-known figures–Johnny Cash, Nicole Kidman, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Keith Richards, Michael Jordan, Joan Didion, R2-D2, Patti Smith, Nelson Mandela, Jack Nicholson, and William Burroughs–appear alongside pictures of Leibovitz’s family and friends, reportage from the siege of Sarajevo in the early Nineties, and landscapes. The pictures form a narrative of a life rich in contrasts and continuities. The photographer has a long relationship that ends with illness and death. She chronicles the celebrations and heartbreaks of her large and robust family. She has children of her own. All the while, she is working, and the public work resonates with the themes of the life.

About the Author:

Annie Leibovitz is one of the most influential photographers of our time. In 1970, she began creating what became her legendary work for Rolling Stone. Since the early 1980s, she has expanded her repertoire at Vanity Fair and Vogue and in independent projects. She is the recipient of many honors, including the International Center of Photography’s Lifetime Achievement Award and the Centenary Medal of the Royal Photographic Society.

Pilgrimage took Annie Leibovitz to places that she could explore with no agenda. She wasn’t on assignment. She chose the subjects simply because they meant something to her. The first place was Emily Dickinson’s house in Amherst, Massachusetts, which Leibovitz visited with a small digital camera. A few months later, she went with her three young children to Niagara Falls. “That’s when I started making lists,” she says. She added the houses of Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin in the English countryside and Sigmund Freud’s final home, in London, but most of the places on the lists were American. The work became more ambitious as Leibovitz discovered that she wanted to photograph objects as well as rooms and landscapes. She began to use more sophisticated cameras and a tripod and to travel with an assistant, but the project remained personal.

Leibovitz went to Concord to photograph the site of Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond. Once she got there, she was drawn into the wider world of the Concord writers. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s home and Orchard House, where Louisa May Alcott and her family lived and worked, became subjects. The Massachusetts studio of the Beaux Arts sculptor Daniel Chester French, who made the seated statue in the Lincoln Memorial, became the touchstone for trips to Gettysburg and to the archives where the glass negatives of Lincoln’s portraits have been saved. Lincoln’s portraitists - principally Alexander Gardner and the photographers in Mathew Brady’s studio - were also the men whose work at the Gettysburg battlefield established the foundation for war photography. At almost exactly the same time, in a remote, primitive studio on the Isle of Wight, Julia Margaret Cameron was developing her own ultimately influential style of portraiture. Leibovitz made two trips to the Isle of Wight and, in an homage to the other photographer on her list, Ansel Adams, she explored the trails above the Yosemite Valley, where Adams worked for fifty years.

The final list of subjects is perhaps a bit eccentric. Georgia O’Keeffe and Eleanor Roosevelt but also Elvis Presley and Annie Oakley, among others. Figurative imagery gives way to the abstractions of Old Faithful and Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty. Pilgrimage was a restorative project for Leibovitz, and the arc of the narrative is her own. “From the beginning, when I was watching my children stand mesmerized over Niagara Falls, it was an exercise in renewal,” she says. “It taught me to see again.”

Походження легендарного фотографа. Початок фотографії Енні Лейбовіц і репортаж Rolling Stone

Енні Лейбовіц почала працювати фотографом на початку 1970-х років, коли в Америці був неспокійний і шалений час. Між журналістами та людьми, яких вони висвітлювали, ще потрібно було провести межі, тому вона мала доступ, який тепер вважатиметься незвичним. Ця унікальна колекція яскраво розповідає як про розвиток Лейбовіца як художника, так і про ключову епоху.

Понад півстоліття Енні Лейбовіц робить фотографії, що визначають культуру. Її портрети політиків, артистів, спортсменів, бізнесменів і членів королівської сім’ї складають галерею нашого часу, закарбувавшись у нашій колективній свідомості як незвичайністю їхніх сюжетів, так і неповторним стилем Лейбовіц.

Каталог до інсталяції у фонді LUMA в Арлі, Франція, Енні Лейбовіц: Ранні роки, 1970–1983 повертається до витоків Лейбовіц. Він починається з моменту мистецького відкриття: спонтанного кадру, який змусив Лейбовіц подумати, що вона може перейти від живопису до фотографії як напряму навчання в Художньому інституті Сан-Франциско. Ретельно та особисто підібрана колекція, включаючи контактні аркуші та полароїди, є яскравим документом як про розвиток Лейбовіца як молодого художника, так і про ключову епоху.

Репортажні фотоісторії Лейбовіц для Rolling Stone, у якому вона почала працювати, коли була ще студенткою, фіксують такі бурхливі політичні, культурні та контркультурні події, як протести у В’єтнамській війні, запуск «Аполлона-17», президентська кампанія 1972 року, відставка Річарда Ніксона в 1974 році та турне Rolling Stones у 1975 році. Тоді, як і зараз, Лейбовіц завоював довіру видатних і відомих, і сторінки книги оживляють багато знайомих облич, серед яких Мухаммед Алі, Мік Джаггер, Кіт Річардс, Кен Кізі, Петті Сміт, Брюс Спрінгстін, Джоан Дідіон і Деббі Гаррі, а також Джон Леннон і Йоко Оно, захоплені в їхніх тепер уже культових обіймах за кілька годин до вбивства Леннона.

По всій книзі портрети та репортажі пов’язані із зображеннями автомобілів, водіння та навіть із серіалом про каліфорнійських патрульних. Багато в чому це свято життя в дорозі — шалені ритми, випадкові зустрічі, можливості для медитації. І з його багатими архівними аспектами, це також данина минулому та молодому фотографу, який перебуває в перехідній культурі.

Фотограф:

Роботи Енні Лейбовіц охоплюють деякі з найвідоміших портретів нашого часу. Лейбовіц почала свою кар'єру фотокореспондента для Rolling Stone у 1970 році, коли вона ще була студенткою Художнього інституту Сан-Франциско. У 1983 році, коли вона приєдналася до штату відродженого Vanity Fair, вона була визнана найкращим фотографом рок-музики та проникливим документалістом соціального ландшафту. У Vanity Fair, а пізніше у Vogue, її робота з акторами, режисерами, письменниками, музикантами, спортсменами, політичними та бізнесовими діячами, а також її модні фотографії розширили її колективний портрет сучасного життя. Лейбовіц опублікував кілька книг і брав участь у багатьох виставках. Вона є командором Ордену мистецтв і літератури французького уряду, а Бібліотека Конгресу присвоїла їй статус Живої легенди.

The impulse to do AMERICAN MUSIC, writes famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, “came from a desire to return to my original subject and look at it with a mature eye. Bring my experience to it…make it a real American tapestry.” Her ambitious idea became AMERICAN MUSIC, a stunning collection of photographs of the musicians, places and people that enrich the landscape of American music.

As Rolling Stone’s chief photographer for over thirteen years, Leibovitz created a legendary body of work. Her portraits of some of the world’s most talented musicians capture more than the performer, they convey the art of making music. For AMERICAN MUSIC, Leibovitz traveled across the country to juke joints in the Mississippi Delta, honkytonks in Texas, and jazz clubs in New Orleans “to take pictures in places that mean something.” In her signature style, she shares stunning portraits of American greats -- B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Beck, Bob Dylan, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Steve Earle, Ryan Adams, Miles Davis, Etta James, Pete Seeger, Emmylou Harris, Tom Waits, The Dixie Chicks, Dr. Dre, The Roots and many more.

AMERICAN MUSIC includes a commentary about the American Music project by Leibovitz, short essays by musicians Patti Smith, Rosanne Cash, Steve Earle, Mos Def, Ryan Adams, and Beck as well as biographical sketches of all the musicians.
