Photographs by Bettina Rheims. Essay by Serge Bramly. List of Plates appended at the end. Printed in duotone on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Germany to the highest standards. In protective glassine DJ, as issued. Presents Bettina Rheims' "Animal". Some of the most remarkable portraits of animals ever taken in our time. Known primarily as a celebrity, lifestyle, and female-nude photographer with a distinctive style, Rheims spent twelve years (between 1982 and 1994) taking these Minimalist portraits. Almost all major photographers have taken pictures of animals because they present a unique challenge to anyone who considers himself or herself a portrait artist. One of Warhol's finest works is his series called "Vanishing Animals", where he deployed his masterly silkscreen technique to produce breathtakingly beautiful animal-paintings. Garry Winogrand's "The Animals" is regarded as one of the greatest photography books of the 20th century. But it is to Peter Hujar that Bettina Rheims' own imagery alludes and must be compared. Hujar identified with animals and regarded his animal-portraits as self-portraits: They portray him as being like any other creature, vulnerable and defenseless. Rheims portrays her wide-ranging bestiary as though they were her fellow beings, Rheims' Ark. What will transfix the viewer is the way she captures their eyes. Whether it's a bird, elephant, dog, sheep, or tiger, and in an extended sequence, chimpanzees and an orangutan, the animals stare back at us, fierce, unblinking, and inquisitive in their gaze. An absolute "must-have" title for Bettina Rheims collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Bettina Rheims. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 56 duotone plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO PETER HUJAR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 3929078198.

ORIGINAL C-PRINT, ENTITLED: MAGIC CITY III (2009), ON HARMAN PHOTO-BARYTHPAPER; SIGNED BY BETTINA RHEIMS. "Bettina Rheims and Serge Bramly's "Rose, c'est Paris" is both a photographic monograph and a feature-length film on DVD. This extraordinary work of art, in two different but interlocking and complimentary formats, defies easy categorization. For in this multi-layered opus of poetic symbolism, photographer Bettina Rheims and writer Serge Bramly evoke the City of Light in a completely novel way: this is a Paris of surrealist visions, confused identities, artistic phantoms, unseen manipulation, obsession, fetish, and seething desire. Equal parts erotica, fashion shoot, art monograph, metaphysical mystery, social and cultural archaeology of the French capital, and neo-noir arthouse film Rose, c'est Paris is the steamy tale of twin sisters, known only as B and Rose, and a third principal, the city itself. An abduction leads to a detective story that unfolds in the streets, cafés, cabarets, museums, abandoned factories, and grand hotels of Paris. What happened to the missing sister? Was there a plot? Was she really kidnapped? Is she alive or dead? Is it in fact a case of mistaken identity? Rheims and Bramly create a series of extraordinary tableaux suggesting all these possibilities and many more, featuring a host of celebrity figures including Naomi Campbell, Michelle Yeoh, Monica Bellucci, Charlotte Rampling, Valérie Lemercier, Inès Sastre, Anna Mouglalis, Audrey Marnay, Anthony Delon, Rona Hartner, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Azzedine Alaïa, Louise Bourgoin, and Hélèna Noguerra. Fetishistically boxed up in a retro attaché case are souvenirs of this curious tale: a rose, a mask, an Eiffel Towel statuette (perhaps a murder weapon?), a booklet, a DVD, and of course the photo book itself. Invoke your inner detective: set the case before you, flip open the rusty latches, and devour the evidence."(Taschen). With the original shipping carton. Weight: 20 lbs.
