Post Scriptum Christer Strömholm is by far the largest monograph detailing the life and work of one of Swedens greatest photographers.

With nearly 270 of Christer Strömholms best photographs, and including a biography by author Johan Tell and essays by journalist Carole Naggar and gallery owner Christian Caujolle.

Christer Strömholm (1918-2002) is considered to be one of the most important Swedish photographers of our time. He spent most of his life in Sweden but early on made France his second home. He founded the legendary photography school Fotoskolan in Stockholm in 1962 and inspired an entire generation of photographers.

His first book, Poste Restante, made him a renowned photographer and his depiction of transsexuals in the Paris of the 1960s resulted in Vännerna från Place Blanche (The Friends from Place Blanche). His images from travels in Japan, Spain and the United States have won wide acclaim and he is represented in several of the worlds leading museums.

Christer Strömholm was appointed professor of photography by the Swedish government and was honoured with the prestigious Hasselblad Award in 1997.

Photography collides with gravity-defying acts in this sensual and mesmerizing collection of photographs that capture the explosive energy and beauty of bodies. In this extraordinary suite of images by Acey Harper, the energy and beauty of nude female and male bodies-devoid of costumes, greasepaint, stage sets, and lighting-are photographed stripped bare (figuratively and literally), revealing the acrobats’ art, craft, and emotions. The beautiful, well-trained, and highly flexible bodies are captured in settings from the natural (beaches in the Marin Headlands, forests in Vermont, the Black Rock Desert) to the gritty urban (a New Jersey steel mill, San Francisco streets, the New York subway).
In three captivating essays, Harriet Heyman, well-schooled in trapeze arts, describes firsthand what it feels like to train as an acrobat and what motivates these dedicated artists.

Daring and provocative, these images of the female nude challenge the viewer to defy limits and enter "forbidden territory." Argentini plays with our notions of privacy and constructs a hidden erotic universe where it is hard to know what we will find—our deepest erotic fantasies or a parallel reality? These charged erotic images are both sophisticated and raw, with a dark glamour all their own.

Guido Argentini was born in Florence, Italy in 1966. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1990 and has photographed for Vogue, Marie Claire, Playboy, Max and Men's Health.

The images originate from editorial assignments and personal sittings, and are a reflection on my fascination with the person and their innate beauty and character.”

teNeues introduces a beautifully bound, slip-cased Collector's Edition of Pure Dance, the extraordinary collection of dance photographs published this season. In a series of breathtakingly beautiful pictures taken over a period of five years, Dieter Blum focuses his astute camera on 37 of 53 dancers in the world-renowned Stuttgart Ballet to explore the sculptural aspects of this exquisitely schooled human form; its strength, suppleness, discipline, mystery and possibilities for movement. Because all of the dancers are photographed in the nude, Blum succeeds in capturing the dynamic movement, musicality, and magic of the classically trained dance artist. Each photograph is a distilled, evocative frozen fragment of an art form that by its nature is fleeting and ephemeral.

Dieter Blum's photographs of musicians, dancers, and artists have appeared in Vanity Fair, Time, Spiegel, and Stern. He divides his time between Dьsseldorf and Esslingen, Germany.

In Radiant Identities, photographer Jock Sturges explores issues of youth and the liberation of body and spirit.

These unforgettable images are made from his own circle of acquaintances and family; the settings are their homes and stretches of naturist beaches in France and Northern California. In superb reproductions, Sturges evokes the classical spirit of Old Master paintings and late-nineteenth-century photographic tableaux, while probing concepts of emergent sexuality and psychological intimacy. Radiant Identities is the second volume in Sturges's ongoing work. Physically and psychically revealing, these deeply felt images are gloriously natural and wonderfully compelling. Elizabeth Beverly's introductory essay, drawn in part from conversations with Sturges's subjects, adds a new dimension to the photographs.

These personal reflections shed light on the unique collaborative process by which Sturges's remarkable photographs are made. In the book's afterword, noted photography critic A.D. Coleman places Sturges in the context of current debates surrounding censorship in the arts, and discusses the themes of innocence and sexuality in the photographs.

A decade after his first TASCHEN book, Deus ex machina, master photographer Ralph Gibson returns with an exquisite collection of nudes, combining the best of his recent work with an in-depth interview by Eric Fischl. Strikingly graphic, meticulously composed, and loaded with subtle provocations, Gibson’s mysterious, dreamlike images pay homage to greats such as Man Ray and Edward Weston, while continually pursuing new frontiers.

Ray Petri, der "König des Männer-Stylings", war einer der einflussreichsten und erfolgreichsten Mode-Stylisten der 80er-Jahre. Als er 1989 starb, wünschte er sich von seinen Freunden, ein Buch über seine Buffalo-Arbeit zusammenzustellen. Dieses liegt nun vor, und das Ergebnis ist ein Lobgesang auf einen Mann, der als erster Männern Röcke anzog und schwarze Models einsetzte.

Was aber war Buffalo? Der Begriff kommt aus der Karibik und bedeutet etwa so viel wie "harte Jungs, Aufsässige". Buffalo war eine Gruppe junger, kreativer Leute, die sich aus Sängern (Nick Kamen, Neneh Cherry), Fotografen (u.a. Jamie Morgan und Marc Lebon), Stylisten (Mitzi Lorenz u.a.) und Ray Petri, der treibenden Kraft hinter allem, zusammensetzte. Durch ihre Arbeit im Bereich der Männermode definierten sie den urbanen Look der Jugendkultur der 80er-Jahre. Petri beschrieb Buffalo als einen "funktionalen und gestylten Look; Antimode mit einer gehörigen Prise Rotzigkeit." Wie bei fast allen Veröffentlichungen des Verlags Schirmer/Mosel, ist auch dieses Buch ein liebevoll und aufwändig gestalteter Fotoband. 150 meist großformatige Schwarzweiß- und Farbaufnahmen sowie mehrere Essays von Freunden und Bekannten bringen die Atmosphäre der wilden Zeit der Buffalos und das Besondere, das Ungewöhnliche dieser ungestümen Gruppe hervorragend rüber.

Am beeindruckendsten an diesem Band ist, dass die Bilder und Stylings sich von allen anderen Modefotografien der Achtziger dahingehend unterscheiden, dass sie zeitlos sind -- auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass dieser Begriff abgegriffen erscheint. Vielen erscheint die Mode der 80er-Jahre -- selbst heute, in der Zeit des "Retro" -- als unmöglich und schrecklich hässlich. Ganz anders in diesem Buch: Obwohl es eine Hymne auf die Achtziger ist, erzählen die Bilder ebenso von früheren oder späteren -- und auch von heutigen Zeiten. Sie sind einfach anders und... na: zeitlos eben! Grund genug, sie sich immer wieder und wieder anzusehen. Und was verlangt man mehr von einem guten, gelungenen Fotoband?

Communism and its fall had a worldwide impact, but none felt the changes more than the previously Soviet states. In 2007 and 2008, photographer Nick Hannes travelled across the 15 former Soviet republics and took pictures of the different consequences of the breakdown of the Soviet Union in 1991. This publication includes intense photography of a developing region full of contrasts: extreme wealth amidst poverty; and golden statues of new dictators in cities of concrete. It shows how much change has already occured and how much is still to come, with experienced photographer Nick Hannes' poignant images.
