Стислий збірник незмінних образів Вівіан Майєр

З відкриттям її архіву в аукціонному домі 2007 року, посмертна траєкторія Вівіан Майєр від відносної безвісності до одного з видатних американських фотографів 20-го століття є історією виняткового послідовного таланту. З середини 1950-х років протягом свого дорослого життя вона працювала нянею між Нью-Йорком і Чикаго, і саме в цей час вона створила величезну кількість фотографій і фільмів, що фіксували щоденне вуличне життя, часто включаючи її власний автопортрет і моменти швидкоплинних роздумів у міському пейзажі. Оскільки її роботи порівнюють з Хелен Левітт, Робертом Франком і Дайан Арбус, її фотографії є ​​захоплюючим вікном у американське життя.

Compelling portraits of celebrities and politicians from four of history’s most eventful decades. An overdue and in-depth retrospective of one of the most important German photojournalists

For almost four decades Volker Hinzʼs photographs defined the look of Stern magazine. His subtle yet revealing portraits of German politicians from Willy Brandt onwards are a vivid historical and artistic record of the Federal Republic.

As masterful as any of the major figures he profiled, Hinz excelled at capturing exactly the right moment. His reportage from the U.S. and across the globe gave us memorable images of greats such as Muhammad Ali, Woody Allen, Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer. Hinz’s works are classics that linger indelibly in our collective consciousness. Unlike most celebrity photography, his images have both the crisp candor of a snapshot and the reflective depth of fine art.

The last book completed by William Klein within his lifetime: A landmark retrospective encompassing Klein's legacy of creativity across photography, filmmaking, painting, book design, graphic design and beyond.

Photographer. Filmmaker. Artist. Designer. To master one of those disciplines would be a lifetime achievement for any creative individual, yet William Klein's career was celebrated in each of them over the last eight decades. Klein was one of the great image makers of the 20th century and one whose work remains an enduring creative influence on the work of contemporary artists, photographers and filmmakers.

With over 250 images, this career retrospective explores the late William Klein's entire creative and artistic arc. Directed by Klein himself, from the selection of content to book design, this large-format publication looks back at his uncompromisingly creative lifetime, showcasing Klein's prolific and relentlessly innovative contribution to the world of photography, art, design and filmmaking.

Published in association with a major retrospective at the International Center of Photography, this book is a comprehensive take on his career. While best known as a photographer who broke all the rules and conventions, William Klein: Yes focuses on the full range of Klein’s work, from his abstract paintings through to his startling, authentic street photography and photobooks and his dynamic, satirical take on filmmaking. With a flowing, chronological text by David Campany, this book will be both an introduction to William Klein for a new generation and a source of fresh insights for those who already know who William Klein was: a true original.

About the Author:

William Klein (1926-2022) was an American photographer, painter, designer and filmmaker. New York-born, Klein settled in Paris in 1948, where he studied at the Sorbonne and pursued his artistic career working briefly under Fernand Léger. Best known as a photographer, achieving fame with a series of acclaimed photobooks, including Life is Good and Good for You In New York (1956) and through his fashion photography in Vogue magazine. Klein was also a filmmaker, directing both feature films and documentaries, a graphic designer and art director.

Rising star Charles Fréger brings his inimitable eye to unfamiliar Japanese folk rituals

In rural Japan the passage of the year is marked by festivals and rituals that have changed little for centuries. Elaborate outfits, crafted from textiles as well as branches, straw and elements sourced from the natural environment, are donned in agricultural and fishing communities throughout Japan to celebrate seasonal rites of fertility and abundance.

Yokainoshima (literally ‘island of monsters’) explores the extraordinary range of masks, costumes and characters that reappear with each returning season. Charles Fréger’s photographs combine acute documentary attentiveness with individual portraiture in an entirely fresh and distinctive style.

Toshiharu Ito and Akihiro Hatanaka, both specialists in Japanese folk culture and anthropology, analyse Fréger’s photographs, setting the huge variety of eclectic clothing in ethnographic context and describing the local festivals, dances and rituals. A final illustrated reference section describes individual costumes and masks.

Ці захоплюючі та поетичні зображення Північної Ірландії, опубліковані вперше як збірка, розкривають рідко досліджуваний аспект творчості відомого військового фотографа двадцятого століття.

Акіхіко Окамура став відомим військовим фотографом у перші роки війни у ​​В’єтнамі та пізніше, коли він документував війни в Біафрі та на Близькому Сході. У 1969 році він переїхав із Південно-Східної Азії до Дубліна. Звідти Окамура часто їздив до Деррі та інших частин Північної Ірландії, щоб задокументувати «проблеми» країни.

У цій чудово створеній книзі вперше зібрані ірландські роботи Окамури, які досі майже повністю не публікувалися. Представлені на повну сторінку без тексту, зображення Окамури просякнуті м’якими, приглушеними кольорами, які контрастують із жорстокістю ситуації, в якій вони були задумані. Сповнені почуття страху, жаху, очікування та смирення, ці образи розкривають людяність і цікавість Окамури, його стурбованість повсякденним існуванням і абсурдністю, невідповідністю та зривами життя під час війни: жінки готують післяобідній чай біля розбомблених будинків; дівчата, одягнені у свій недільний одяг, залишають квіти біля придорожньої святині; колекція порожніх молочних пляшок, яким судилося стати запальними пристроями.

Яскраві нариси відомих істориків фотографії та експертів поміщають цю вражаючу колекцію в контекст великого обсягу робіт Окамури та розміщують ці зображення в історії як медіа, так і країни.

The Beauty of Machines

With the technological and digital revolution, an entire universe of machines and computers has developed alongside the human world. These machines tell the story of what it is to be human: our needs and desires, our hopes and follies, our visions for the future. Alastair Philip Wiper’s photographic eye sweeps across Adidas shoe factories, colossal shipyards, or laboratories such as the Swiss research center CERN, showing us spaces of incomprehensible complexity. Observers can experience through this a kind of visuality that no longer has a consistent point of view, but a diversity that overwhelms the process of seeing. These photos not only possess a unique beauty of their own, as well as a fascinating aesthetic, but also stimulate thought and the search for one’s own position in the world.

About the Autor:

The British photographer Alastair Philip Wiper (Hamburg, 1980) became known for his work for the magazines Wired, The Guardian, Scientific American, Wallpaper, and Vice. His series about Silicon Valley (Silicon Nights) and his book The Art of Impossible about Bang & Olufsen have been greatly admired. Wiper lives in Copenhagen.

Фотодіалог про минуле і сьогодення Флориди

Сонячний стан. Болотний рай. Туристичне прагнення. Рекет нерухомістю. Притулок надмірностей. Політична гойдалка. Сон субтропічна лихоманка. Флорида є унікальною з природними й культурними формами, яких немає більше ніде. Це також одне з найбільш невловимих і незрозумілих місць. Анастасія Самойлова фотографує Флориду в інтенсивних подорожах. Вокер Еванс (1903–1975) фотографував його протягом чотирьох десятиліть. Перекручуючи візуальні кліше, ці двоє надзвичайно проникливих спостерігачів передають запаморочливе поєднання фантазії та реальності у Флориді.

Еванс був свідком появи сучасної Флориди в 1930-х роках з її сумішшю культур, хвилями туризму, яскравою красою та відвертою вульгарністю. Він фотографував там до 1970-х років, створюючи полароїди, які досі виглядають сучасними. Самойлова успадковує те, що бачив Еванс. З розумом і гумором вона пробирає свій шлях крізь спокуси та розчарування місця, яке символізує протиріччя сьогоднішніх Сполучених Штатів. У Floridas фотографії Самойлової та Еванса представлені паралельно, переплітаючи минуле та сьогодення, перемикаючись між чорно-білими та кольоровими зображеннями, усе це доповнюється есе редактора Девіда Кампані та фантастичним оповіданням відомої письменниці та жительки Флориди Лорен Ґрофф.

Флорида настільки ж чарівна, наскільки й оманлива, місце диких кліше та глибокої складності. Уокер Еванс і Анастасія Самойлова були двома з найбільш гострих і вдумливих спостерігачів штату. У цій книзі їхні фотографії представлені в багатому діалозі протягом десятиліть. Флориду неможливо пояснити, але ці розумні та грайливі фотографи є ідеальними путівниками в розгадуванні головоломки. - Девід Кампані

Про авторів:

Народилася в Москві в 1984 році, Анастасія Самойлова рухається між спостережною фотографією та студійною практикою. Останні виставки включають такі в Kunst Haus Wien, Kunsthalle Mannheim, USF Contemporary Art Museum, Orlando Museum of Art, The Print Center і Chrysler Museum of Art. Її роботи зберігаються в Музеї Вільгельма Хака, Художньому музеї Переса в Маямі та Музеї сучасної фотографії в Чикаго, серед інших колекцій. Steidl опублікувала FloodZone Самойлової у 2019 році.

Вокер Еванс (1903–1975) є визнаним майстром фотографії, чия різноманітна творчість продовжує формувати наше розуміння сучасної епохи. Еванс почав фотографувати в 1920-х роках, швидко рухаючись до визначення своєї естетики та тематики: прямі та тверезі зображення американського повсякденного життя та його околиць. Протягом десятиліття він створив деякі з найвизначніших фотографій двадцятого століття, виставлені в Музеї сучасного мистецтва та опублікував дві знакові книги: «Американські фотографії» (1938) і «Вихваляймо відомих людей з Джеймсом Ейджі» (1941). Еванс писав рецензії на мистецтво та кіно для Time (1943–45), працював у Fortune між 1945 і 65 роками, а потім викладав у Єльському університеті. Steidl опублікував Lyric Documentary (2006), Walker Evans: the magazine work (2014) і Double Elephant (2015).

The first monograph of trailblazing photographer Anastasia Samoylova is a vital – and gently humorous – meditation on environmentalism, consumer culture and our disorientating times

Adaptation is the first career survey on Anastasia Samoylova, one of the most dynamic image makers to have emerged in recent years. Bringing together her six major bodies of work, it reveals the enormous range of artistic influences and ideas that inform her art, as well as the threads of connection that unite them. While each series explores different themes, they share a formal beauty, a masterly use of colour and an original approach to visual culture for which she is rightly celebrated.

Russian born and now a native of Florida, Samoylova moves between observational photography and studio practice, often incorporating collage and painting. Her virtuoso compositions are layered meditations on an everyday life made precarious by rising sea levels, image overload, gentrification and corporate culture. This is a provocative vision of the 21st century, at once sublimely beautiful and incisive in its assessment of the challenges we face.

Shortlisted for The Photographer’s Gallery’s Photography Foundation Prize

FloodZone is Anastasia Samoylova’s photographic account of life on the climatic knife-edge of the southern United States. Serious climate change is upon us, but this is not a visualization of disaster or catastrophe. These beautifully subtle and often unsettling images capture the mood of waiting, of knowing the climate is changing, of living with it. The color palette is tropical: lush greens, azure blues, pastel pinks. But the mood is pensive and melancholy. As new luxury high-rises soar, their foundations are in water. Crumbling walls carry images of tourist paradise. In the heat and humidity nature threatens to return the place to tangled wilderness. Manatees appear in odd places, sensitive to environmental change. Liquid permeates Samoylova’s urban scenes and unexpected views: waves, ripples, puddles, pools, splashes and spray. Water is everywhere and water is the problem. Mixing lyric documentary, gently staged photos and epic aerial vistas, FloodZone crosses boundaries to express the deep contradictions of the place. The carefully paced sequence of photographs, arranged as interlocking chapters, make no judgment. They simply show; elegant, sincere, acute and perhaps redemptive.

The coast of the southern United States looks and feels like a paradise, but all is not what it seems. As sea levels rise and hurricanes threaten, the beauty of the place becomes bittersweet. The future is uncertain but life goes on. FloodZone is a book about living with the contradiction.

Imaginaries in reality photography's role in the visual culture of the city

Image Cities is the latest project of photographer Anastasia Samoylova. In the series, carried out in cities across the globe, Samoylova studies the proliferation of photographic images in urban environments. She observes how in our neo-liberal era of networked economic markets and networked imagery the global centers of internationalized money and culture are becoming increasingly aligned and similar. At the same time, however, these cities attempt to promote their individuality, often by repurposing their specific histories. Samoylova’s work reveals how the cities she photographs are moving towards a generic urban landscape of anonymous steel and glass, and it also points to the role photography plays in creating this ideological gap between branded urban identity and lived reality.

About the Author:

Anastasia Samoylova (b. 1984) lives and works in Miami, Florida. Her photographs have been shown at museums in Europe and the USA. She is the winner of numerous prizes including the Fundación MAPFRE’s KBr Photo Award (2021).

André Kertész is one of the figures who shaped modern photography. From the First World War onwards, his independent spirit led him to practise an art based on spontaneity and sincerity, seeking out the chance moments that ‘capture the true nature of things.’ Tender, nostalgic, modest, he forged a new path for photography, a kind of poetic realism that was neither forced nor showy. ‘I never document,’ he said, ‘I give my own interpretation.’

PHOTOFILE brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers, in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Handsome and collectable, the books are produced to the highest standards. Each volume contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography. The series has been awarded the first annual prize for distinguished photographic books by the International Center of Photography, New York.

The first retrospective monograph of one of the most fascinating talents in contemporary photography

Anja Niemi: In Character is the first career retrospective/monograph by the Norwegian photographer. Niemi’s work has emerged as a distinctive force within the venerable tradition of conceptual self-portraiture. She works alone and always in character. With her purposeful and elaborate stagings, Niemi is photographer, director and female lead, inserting herself into the lives of her fictional characters. Extending the genre of self-portraiture, Niemi is at heart a story-teller, a creator of fictions. Her images offer a multilayered, cinematic exploration of identity, gender roles and, crucially, our relationship with ourselves.

Anja Niemi is at the ‘breakout moment’ in her career, having had exhibitions in Amsterdam, London, New York, Oslo, Paris, San Francisco and Shanghai, and with her first museum retrospective show opening in February at Fotografiska in Stockholm. This book features over 170 photographs organized into the six series – Do Not Disturb, Starlets, Darlene & Me, Short Stories, The Woman Who Never Existed, and her latest series She Could Have Been A Cowboy – that have marked her career to date, supported by an essay and interview by Max Houghton, co-author of Firecrackers: Female Photographers Now. It is the perfect introduction for those encountering Niemi’s work for the first time, and a comprehensive retrospective of her career to date for her long-time followers.

About the Author:

Anja Niemi (b. 1976, Oslo) studied at the London College of Printing and Parsons School of Design in Paris and New York, and has exhibited in galleries worldwide. Three previous monographs of her work have been published, and her work appeared in Firecrackers: Female Photographers Now, also published by Thames & Hudson.

Contents List:

Introduction • Do Not Disturb • Starlets • Darlene & Me • Short Stories • The Woman Who Never Existed • She Could Have Been a Cowboy

The first art book containing the work of Spanish photographers Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda.

For Anna and Daniel, every unique story needs a unique location to be told in. Luckily for them, there are plenty of beautiful places on our planet waiting to be discovered. Set in all sorts of real-life environments, their images do not only celebrate constructions all over the world but also the cities they were built in.

In ‘Happytecture’, Anna and Daniel challenge us to look at the immediate world around us in a way we’ve never seen it before, unfolding the hidden beauty of street elements such as doors, windows and other urban vernacular to which we might tend not to give a second look.

The result is a visual love letter to architecture and urban design that is both personal and relatable.

For many people images of the major national parks in the US exist in the mind's eye as Ansel Adams photographs.

A dedicated environmentalist as well as a renowned artist, he was one of the 20th century's most ardent champions of the parks system. Through his photos, essays and letter-writing campaigns, he helped create new parks and better protect existing ones. He worked in more than 40 national parks over 50 years - including Shenandoah, the Great Smoky Mountains and Acadia in the East - and his work in the California High Sierra resulted in some of the most indelible images of the natural world ever made with a camera. 50 of the images in this volume have not been published in any authorized Ansel Adams book previously; many more are rarely seen. A substantial essay by photographic critic and historian Richard B. Woodward lays out Adams' significant role in tracing the history of American conservation.

The selection of photographs was made by Andrea G. Stillman, Adams' assistant late in life and a foremost expert on his work. A group of thumbnail images with brief narratives, enlivened by quotations from Adams, appears at the back of the book.
