Life & Afterlife in Benin edited by Alex Van Gelder Phaidon HB 2005 First Edition ISBN 10: 0714845132 ISBN 13: 9780714845135 This remarkable collection highlights the work of nine photographers from Benin, working predominantly during the 1960s and 1970s. Their art marks a significant, yet often overlooked, milestone in the history of African photography. While the global spotlight has long focused on the celebrated Bamako School of Mali and its masters, Seydou Keïta and Malick Sidibé, this Beninese collection opens a new and distinctive chapter. The portraits from Benin are distinguished by their dramatic lighting, mystical undertones, and a profound sense of narrative. The photographers documented individuals poised between a pre-colonial past and a postcolonial future, capturing moments of transformation and tension. For many subjects, this photograph would be their first?and perhaps only?encounter with a camera. The collection is more than a record of conventional milestones such as weddings, communions, and family portraits. Among the images are startling and evocative scenes: revenants and juju men, voodoo priests and priestesses, thieves and murderers, prostitutes and pimps. Perhaps most striking are the sequences of deathbed portraits, which speak to the role of photography not just in life, but also in the afterlife. VERY GOOD, clean interior with no writing, no markings. bumping to foot of spine, in VERY GOOD dustjacket with 1-inch tear to rear panel, jacket now protected in archival mylar.

Catalogue from exhibition12 February 14 May 2011, Hauser & Wirth Zürich, Hubertus Exhibitions. Photographs by Alex Van Gelder, in collaboration with Bourgeois, the artist and sculptor whose hands are featured.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Louise Bourgeois was an immensely influential sculptor and one of the iconic figures of twentieth and early twenty-first century art. She died in May 2010, aged ninety-eight. In the last year of her life, she invited the artist Alex van Gelder to stay at her New York town house and take photographs of her. More than purely a portrait project, she considered the collaboration to be an extension of her work, allowing her person to be viewed as a segment of her art. Of the hundreds of pictures that Van Gelder took, it is those which depict her hands against the black of her clothes that astonish most: gnarled, sinewy and wrinkled with age, they were the tools with which she produced her extraordinary work, right up to a few days before her death.This beautiful clothbound book presents twenty of Van Gelder's portraits of Bourgeois's hands, each on a double-page spread and accompanied by comments by the artist. Cupped or cradling and always mobile, her hands recall many of her works: from the interlocking finger-like forms of her Lairs of the 1960s, to the skein of lines of her Insomnia Drawings and the poised spiders of her Maman series. Despite their stark simplicity, Van Gelder's images are suffused with warmth. They reflect his closeness to Bourgeois and the trust she placed in him when working together on this final project, brought to fruition here in this intimate and precious book.
