Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. Photographs by Robert Capa, Lois Conner, Stuart Franklin, Zhang Hai-er, Wu Jialin, Wang Jinsong, Hiroji Kubota, Sebastiao Salgado, Liu Heung Shing, and Others A stirring tribute to china's land and people, and a lasting vision of the country within. To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Aperture is publishing Imaging China. This magnificent volume unfolds a series of in-depth portfolios by twenty of the most important Chinese and Western photographers of the era, conveying the extent of their involvement in politics, culture, and everyday life. Together with texts by leading thinkers, writings by the photographers, and selections of ancient and modern poetry, this collection offers profound insight into a country that has been closed to the West for more than half of its existence. Drawn to China by its dramatic upheavals and its rich cultural legacy, the world's greatest photographers offer thrilling proof of the power of photography to explore-and convey-the human experience. From France's Henri Cartier-Bresson, present at the creation of the Republic in 1949, to China's Liu Heung Shing, who chronicled a society in transition following the death of Mao Tse-tung, to Wu Jialin and Stuart Franklin working today, the image makers represented here have created visions of China as broad and diverse as the country and its society. Imaging China is an extraordinary visual exploration of an extraordinary place and time. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.

Hardcover, 96 pages, English, 295 x 250 mm, dustjacket traces of being used but book itself in Fine condition, Pictures of common and well known people in colour and b/w. ISBN 9780893818814. No age has explored the spectrum of gender with its infinite nuances and variety as ours has. Humankind's first and most essential dichotomy-that we are created in two natures, male and female-has fascinated artists since the Willendorf sculptor shaped his Venus as unmistakably female. Each sex has connoted different powers and lures over the ages. Male/Female combines portraits, snapshots, collages, and everything in between to generate a visual conversation that moves fluidly throughout the history of photography. The images utilize intensive self-reflection, humor, and iconic forms to articulate countless expressions of gender. Male/Female features an extensive interview with Madonna and an essay by Wayne Koestenbaum, as well as excerpts from the work of many of today's foremost thinkers. Among the artists included are Claude Cahun, Robert Mapplethorpe, Luigi Ontani, Lucas Samaras, Cindy Sherman, and Laurie Simmons. 0 g.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 148 pages. Published in 1999. Retrospective collection of landscape photographs. Now considered a contemporary art photography classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Wendy Byrne: Oversize-volume format. Pale gray cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Ray K. Metzker. Essay, "Voyage of Discovery", by Evan H. Turner. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark retrospective exhibition of the same name held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from November 18, 2000 through February 11, 2001. Presents Ray K. Metzker's "Landscapes". Natural landscapes by the photographer who is celebrated for showing the enigmatic beauty, formal elegance, and quiet desperation of the landscape called the city. Marks most of the images' very first appearance in book form. Whereas his street photographs have a fluidity and volatility about them (because the city itself does), Metzker's landscapes are unique and discrete visual experiences of stasis and constancy. Of course, the natural landscape changes, too, all the time. But as Evan H. Hunter points out in his brilliant Essay, they do so more slowly, at a much less hectic and sometimes glacial pace. Metzker's "dream landscape" is one that somehow captures or hints at this "time-stands-still" quality on film. His landscapes have their antecedent not in Robert Adams, but in the canonical work of the great Nature artist of Modernism, Claude Monet. "For me, to photograph is to wander with camera in hand, looking at everything along the way. What ultimately gives meaning and satisfaction to this act is discovering something I had not known, seen, or felt previously" (Ray K. Metzker). An absolute "must-have" title for Ray K. Metzker collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Ray K. Metzker. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 97 duotone and tritone plates, 44 illustrations. One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER RAY K. METZKER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0893819115. Signed by Author.

First edition. Folio., original cloth with dust wrapper. A near fine copy. "Weighted with heavy, nineteenth-century camera equipment, Vittorio Sella climbed some of the world's most mysterious, perilous peaks and photographed them, many for the first time. His strikingly elegant photographs, which in Ansel Adams's words, "revealed [the mountains] in all their sheer majesty," offer groundbreaking scientific and documentary information as well. Climbers today still use Sella's pictures to map out routes and to better comprehend their challenges and the magnificence to come.Through Sella's images, we can witness the grandeur of the world's greatest peaks; the Russian Caucasus, the Saint Elias Range in Alaska, Mount Ruwenzori in Africa, the Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas. His photographic documentation of these peaks had no precedents and has few, if any, equals.".
