Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Blue paper-covered boards; with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Photographs by Lucinda Devlin. Essay (in German and English) by Michael Mackenzie. Includes a bio-bibliography. 112 pp., with 48 four-color plates. 11-1/4 x 10 inches. New in publisher's shrink wrap. From the publisher: "German spa facilities are sites at which one can apparently be cured of chronic illnesses. Whether they date from the 19th century, the post-war period, or today, these places are fast becoming leisure-time oases. In [this] series, Lucinda Devlin has photographed the deserted interiors of these bathhouses, framing clinically sterile rooms meant for massages, baths, examinations, and relaxation. These empty zones are silent testimonials to a healing industry that is thoughtfully tailored to people, even while its equipment subjugates them completely. Tellingly, they recall the rooms of Devlin's earlier series: the operating theaters, mortuaries, and autopsy rooms in Corporal Arenas and the U.S. execution chambers in The Omega Suites. With her coolly remote photographs, Devlin presents the relationships between people and institutions, and then shows how certain facilities depersonalize those relationships. Water Rites conveys an insightful view into the--typically German?--mentality and source of our institutionalized humanity.". …

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 40 pages. Published in 2011. Retrospective collection of photographs, presented as an Artist Book, and as a singular photobook. One of the most beautiful books in the Steidl "Robert Frank Project". 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 scarce. An austerely elegant production by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial cloth boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Robert Frank. Printed in tritone on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper by Steidl in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Robert Frank's "Pangnirtung". Landscape photographs of a village of Inuit ("Eskimo") inhabitants in the Arctic Circle. There were roughly 1300 Inuit at the time Frank and his lifelong friend Reginald Rankin visited the remote village in August 1992. The place is un-inhabited today. Despite the widespread perception (as a result of "The Americans"), Robert Frank was never the street photographer-as-anthropologist. His subject is ultimately death, not life, and he is THE elegiac artist of desolation, loss, and "memento mori" par excellence. He did not photograph a single Inuit in Pangnirtung, who were already dying off although many were still alive when he visited, as if anticipating and commemorating - before it finally happened - their imminent extinction. In addition to anti-Ansel Adams images of the most majestic natural landscapes, Frank photographed the Christian cemetery where Western explorers and settlers are buried, presenting them as the collection's coda. There is, as it were, only grave beauty in every Robert Frank photograph. Robert Frank died on September 9, 2019 at the age of 94 as the greatest photographer of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Frank collectors. This title is a photobook classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

His first feature-length film, which was premiered at the 1968 Venice Film Festival, in a book format that is specifically designed to be a collectible keepsake. The story of real-life brothers Julius and Peter Orlovsky, who appear as themselves, together with a now-legendary all-star cast led by Allen Ginsberg (Peter's lifelong lover), the great avant-garde theatre director Joseph Chaikin as well as the great character actor Christopher Walken and the young playwright/actor/writer Sam Shepard in their iconic film debuts. "Everything that had defined Frank's art up to that point is packed into this film: The view of America from the outside, the placement of the marginal in a central role, the poetic libertinage of the Beats. The story, which takes place during the showing of another film in a rundown movie theater, weaves together opposites, playing the counterfeit against the authentic, pornography against poetry, acting against being, Beat cynicism against hippie Romanticism, monochrome against color. Celebrates the poetic essay, affirms the underground and the assemblage form, and packs in some bizarre twists and turns" (Publisher's blurb). Robert Frank died on September 9, 2019 at the age of 94 as the greatest photographer of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Frank collectors. This title is a late-modern art film classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing (issued as a Collector's Softcover Format, NOT just the DVD) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the Reissued Edition. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with photographic and film still plates.

Orange cloth-covered boards with tipped-in four-color plate on cover and title stamped in black on rear cover and spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by J.H. Engström. 112 pp., with four-color plates throughout. 9-1/4 x 12 inches. New in publisher's shrink wrap. From the publisher: "To most people an airport used to represent a place of optimism. An open place, oozing with expectations and encounters. Recent world events have changed all that. Today an airport is a completely different experience. Armed police officers, restrictions and safety regulations only help to increase our feelings of insecurity. Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport has always been a special place for JH Engström. At the age of ten he moved to Paris with his parents. Charles de Gaulle was his first contact with the world outside his native Sweden. The move created a very intense relationship to the city of Paris, but also to the Charles de Gaulle and airports in general. For this project he spent three weeks isolated in an airport hotel, photographing in and between the terminals. The airport became a place to observe identities and the history of relations. With fiction, poetry and mystery he observes it. Raising questions of social, urban and architectural dimensions.".…

Photographs and text by Fazal Sheikh. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Fazal Sheikh's "Ladli". His second portrait of India, a country of beauty and pain, its people, especially its women, blessed and cursed at the same time. "In India it costs a poor family 50 rupees to hire a midwife to oversee the birth of a child. For an additional 10 rupees, the parents are assured that the birth of a girl will be met with an act of infanticide by the midwife. The alternative for many is an institution like the Delhi orphanage, in which Fazal Sheikh's work on the predicament of the girl-child in India begins, and 99 percent of that orphanage's population are girls. Ladli follows on the heels of Sheikh's 'Moksha', which documented the plight of the Indian widow, and for which, in combination with this companion volume, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson granted Sheikh its Henri Cartier-Bresson (HCB) Award in 2005" (Publisher's blurb). "At once descriptive and loving, and warm rather than cool, the photographs are extraordinarily moving portraits in the classic mode (think Julia Margaret Cameron and Irving Penn), whose aesthetic weight is multiplied by the power of their maker's concern" (The New Yorker Magazine). An absolute "must-have" title for Fazal Sheikh collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Fazal Sheikh. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary photography classic.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: No dust jacket as issued. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Black laminated cloth-covered boards with title and graphics printed in white on cover and spine. Photographs by Robbert Flick. Essays by David L. Ulin, Tim B. Wride and Michael Dear. Foreword by Andrea L. Dear. Includes an exhibition checklist and chronology. Designed by Gerhard Steidl. 320 pp., with 61 black and white plates and 41 four-color plates (30 of which span two pages; 11 are full-bleed plates) and numerous additional color and black and white illustrations, beautifully printed on heavy matte paper. 13-3/16 x 10 inches. Published on the occasion of the 2004 exhibition Trajectories: The Photographic Work of Robbert Flick, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From the publisher: "Robbert Flick's work extends the same visual, philosophical, and theoretically fertile arena explored by Robert Heinecken. While Heinecken emphasized the manner in which images function at the intersection of popular culture and the fine arts, Flick has concentrated on the conceptual and receptive properties of photography -- specifically landscape photography. The distinctive visual and conceptual strength of Flick's work has been evident from his very early essay-format images of the 1960s. Finding a new strength in the evocative diptychs he began in the late 1970s, his investigations led him to begin using grid-format sequential views in order to provide multiple views of images that are visually related but physically separate. The opportunities offered by digital applications allowed him to extend his participation in the critical discourse established around the interpretation, evaluation, and assessment of visual constructs related to the landscape. Trajectories traces this important artist's career from the 1970s to the present, examining his development and charting the conceptual and philosophical impact of contemporary culture on landscape, cultural geography, and technology. Constructed chronologically, the book reveals the cumulative authority of the artist's creative process and the fluidity of his conceptual dynamic.". Flick, Robbert (illustratore).…

Presents Robert Polidori's "Metropolis". The finest and most representative images of one of the most influential photographers of urban places, architectures, and other man-made structures. "Not only is he the world's preeminent architecture photographer, Robert Polidori is also a master of urban portraiture. The Montreal-born photographer has made haunting studies of bombed-out buildings in Beirut, decaying New York tenements, Versailles rooms in dusty disarray, Brasilia's paean to spare 1950's Modernism, and, most recently, the abandoned, contaminated cities of Chernobyl and Pripyat. Taken together, they add to his ongoing project: The interpretation of the interrupted urban landscape. Combines the eye of a celebrated photographer with the distinctive voice of an artist and adventurer. Each breathtaking image, meticulously selected by the photographer from his own personal archive, is accompanied by a compelling first-person account, based on interviews conducted by Martin C. Pedersen. The world's great cities as seen through the eyes of a sharp social observer and a great photographer" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Polidori collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated in black ink-pen on the title page by the photographer: "Robert Polidori 2006".

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Dark blue cloth-covered boards with title stamped on spine; with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Photographs by J.H. Engström. 216 pp., with four-color and black-and-white plates throughout. 12-1/4 x 9-7/8 inches. New in publisher's shrink wrap. From the publisher: "Haunts can be seen as part two of a trilogy which began with Trying to Dance, JH Engström's artist's book project which was short-listed for the 2005 Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. At the back of Trying to Dance JH Engström wrote, 'I'm always looking for presence. Whenever I try, my doubts get unmasked.' These doubts and questions are prelevant in Haunts, but in this volume Engström focuses more on public spaces and life in the streets. At the center of JH Engström's pictures is a strong feeling of being in an endless present tense. The confrontation between 'now' and the photographer's memories is inevitable. And he doesn't try to separate emotions from objectivity. His images embody their questions.".…

A magnificent Facsimile: A gift-gesture for all of us, who will be hard-pressed at spending tens of thousands of dollars apiece for these images in their vintage silver-gelatin print format. And if you're like us, who think Frank's pre-"The Americans" lyrical, innovative, and sublime images are superior, this is indispensable. "When Robert Frank immigrated to New York from Zurich in 1947, having apprenticed with commercial photographers in his hometown, the aspiring young photographer brought along his portfolio to help him secure employment. 'Portfolio' is the Facsimile Version. Containing Frank's earliest original photographs as well the work of other photographers which he had retouched, the portfolio presents images of rural life in Switzerland alongside alpine landscapes, cityscapes, and still life. A guaranteed collector's item, this beautifully printed volume contains the seeds of a career of such scope and influence that even the ambitious 23-year-old Robert Frank could never have anticipated it" (Publisher's blurb).
