Hardcover. Paper-covered boards, no dust jacket as issued. Photographers by Carrillo. 16pp., with 6 four- color plates. 7-1/2 x 5-3/4 inches. New. From the publisher: "For such a small book, Las Trocas Angelinas, con sus Mercancía (The Angelinos' Trucks with their Cargo) speaks volumes. Javier Carrillo created a suite of 6 "suicide prints" â " a type of linoleum print considered to be the single most difficult form of multicolor printing â " each featuring what is a common sight across this country and many others: a small, well-worn pickup truck filled to the breaking point with tools or merchandise. In Carrillo's prints, the pickup trucks with their humble yet priceless cargo â " used wooden pallets, freshly-picked oranges, lawn mowing equipment â " become almost heroic in their stoicism, and one can't help but draw a comparison between them and the burros that they have replaced. The original, signed photograph included with each copy of the book is one of the snapshots Carrillo made as a "sketch" for his finished studio prints." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Includes a signed original photograph (4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches) tipped in the final page, signed on verso in pencil by Maiofis. Hardcover. Paper-covered boards; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Maiofis. 16 pp., with 8 duotone plates. 7-1/2 x 5-3/4 inches. New. From the publisher: "Gregori Maiofis's influences are multinational and multicultural. Born in St. Petersberg, Russia in 1970, where he immersed himself in traditional academy training, Maiofis then moved to Los Angeles where he participated in the vibrant art scene and learned new art forms. After five years in LA, Maiofis returned to his native St. Petersburg, because, he states, "I can do things here artistically that I couldn't do anywhere else." One of which, of course, was to create his now-famous series pairing a long-limbed ballerina with a burly circus bear, carefully smuggled into an empty apartment building for the shoot. Seated in a chair, sometimes in profile and at others with his back to the viewer, the bear appears to be giving directions to the ballerina, who beautifully, and very professionally, obeys him. The series comes to a close with one of the most poignant images: that of the bear lifting his paw in imitation of the ballerina's own gracefully uplifted arm." Signed by Author.

Paper-covered boards; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Sawada. Essay by Katz. 16 pp., with 16 four-colored plates. 7-1/2 x 5-3/4 inches. New. From the publisher: "Souvenirs is a recreation of sixteen hand-tinted Japanese "Geisha" postcards originally printed in the early 1900s. This book is number one hundred in the Nazraeli "One Picture Book" series, and it includes an original signed photograph by Tomoko Sawada, a photographer well-known for her chameleon-like self-portraits. In this case, she has transformed herself into a wistful turn-of-the century geisha. Sawada's cameo appearance in this book is also a play on the One Picture Book series itself, as she authored book number ninety nine in the series. Gloria Katz is a screenwriter whose credits include "American Graffiti" and "Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom". She is an avid collector of Japanese Photographyâ"an interest that stems from her love of Japanese cinema. She is co-author (with her husband Willard Huyck) of Visions of Japan, a new book about her adventures collecting photography." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page by Kenna. Hardcover. Tan cotton cloth-covered boards with tipped in quadratone plate on cover and title stamped in black on cover and spine; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Michael Kenna. Introductory text by Dr. Ian B. Glover. 96 pp., with 75 quadratone plates beautifully printed on a natural textured art paper. 13 x 10 inches. This first edition was limited to 5300 copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). A flawless copy. From the Introduction: "This book is an early vignette from Michael Kenna's far-reaching photographic odyssey. Some of these photographs, made almost forty years ago, are familiar, even famous, but many have never been seen before. They have been lying in wait, stored in a series of negative files. Normally, Kenna travels extensively and is not able to keep up with printing his extensive collection of negatives. It took the Covid pandemic and lockdown for him to search through his archives, rediscover these long-forgotten images, and print them in his darkroom. These photographs reveal a Northern England from Kenna's youth that, for the most part, no longer exists." From the publisher: "Michael Kenna was born in the small industrial town of Widnes in northwest England. The youngest of six children, Kenna grew up in a poor, working-class, Irish-Catholic family. He attended a seminary school for seven years with the intention of becoming a priest, after which he studied at the Banbury School of Art and later at the London College of Printing, before moving to the USA in the late seventies. The adjoining counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, where Kenna photographed in the early eighties, have much in common regarding their industrial development. Fiercely competitive, they share a border, a spine of mountains known locally as the Pennines, which helps to produce rain. The rise of a powerful cotton and wool industry, and the building of innumerable mills, canals, railways, chimneys and terraced worker houses, have been attributed in part to these high levels of precipitation. The local textile industry proliferated until the second half of the twentieth century, when there was a sudden, rapid decline and eventual decimation. It was during this precise time period that Kenna returned to the area to photograph, during the day and also at night. Kenna's early photographs of England launched his career and brought him international acclaim; yet it wasn't until last year, 2020, that he revisited this particular body of work to find many unprinted images. These discoveries are exquisitely presented in this important new Nazraeli Press monograph, Northern England 1983-1986. Beautifully printed on a natural textured art paper, accompanied by an introductory text by Dr. Ian B Glover, the seventy-five plates are reproduced in quadratone and bound into cotton cloth-covered boards reminiscent of the era. Limited to three thousand copies, and also available in both a special and a deluxe edition." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Jasmine Swope Ilustrador. Jasmine Swope - Our Oceans Edge Signed by the Photographer California made history with the creation of the nation?s first statewide system of ocean parks ? a network of 124 Marine Protected Areas stretching from Oregon to the Mexico border. Like national parks on land, MPAs are magnificent in beauty and wildness while providing protection for wildlife, solutions to climate change, and recreational resources for all. Soon after the system was established, photographer Jasmine Swope set out to capture the essence of the marine parks. Her quest took her up and down California?s 1,100-mile long coastline. The result is ?Our Ocean?s Edge,? a photographic documentary project coupled with original narratives written by author Dwight Holing that celebrates these fragile seascapes while increasing awareness about their natural benefits and inspiring conservation action. This beautiful clothbound monograph comprises 55 plates beautifully printed in duotone, and opens with a foreword by Wallace J Nichols. A special edition, featuring a signed original photograph presented with a copy of the book in a custom clamshell box, is also available. Swope's photographs have the soft look of richly worked, large-scale graphite drawings. In addition to her chosen printing technique, it is achieved through lengthy exposures that blur contours, enhance atmospherics and blend the motions of waves and birds into gentle near-abstractions. One result is to recast familiar sights, recorded in millions of snapshots of tourist scenery, into something alien and almost extraterrestrial. Rocky outcroppings rising above foggy gray swirls of luminosity might be on some far-off mountaintop or even on a Hollywood backlot. They're like mysterious landscapes glimpsed on another planet. That they're actually close to home makes the visual estrangement salutary. Swope's camera can only show the world's surface; however lovely the outward appearance might be, the complex but largely hidden dynamic of a habitat is what matters. Her photographs deftly evoke the presence of more than the eye can see. ? Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times ISBN: 978-1-59005-419-2 Hardcover, 12 x 12 inches, 96 pages, 55 duotone plates.

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on title page by Steinmetz. Hardcover. Fine Burgundy linen covered boards, with tipped in black-and-white plate on cover; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Mark Steinmetz. 80 pp., with 63 duotone plates. 12 x 10-1/2 inches. This first edition is limited to 1000 copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). From the Introduction by Mark Steinmetz: "In the summer of 1987, I was 26 years old, a couple years out of graduate school, and living in a derelict apartment outside of Boston. I had received an artist's residency in the South of France, and so, in August, I flew to Paris. I stayed a few weeks with close family friends in a top floor apartment on the Avenue de Wagram. My friends were working in fashion and film, and I was told my bed had once belonged to Jane Fonda before she became Barbarella. The weather was getting colder, and they gave me a brown corduroy jacket to wear that Jean Seberg (Godard's Breathless, Preminger's Bonjour Tristesse) had cried on. I would eat some breakfast and run around Paris photographing all dayâ "hardly eating because I had no moneyâ "returning to their apartment for dinner and a glass of champagne." "Later in the year, I went to the South to begin my artist's residency at the Camargo Foundation, in Cassis, a town on the sea not far from Marseille. The writer Virginia Woolf, the pointillist Paul Signac, the fauvists André Derain and Raoul Dufy, and the Provençal poet Frédéric Mistral, had spent extended periods of time in Cassis. I took day trips from Cassis to Arles, Aix, Marseille, and Nice, and could process my film in the simple darkroom that was supplied to me." "In 1987, there were no cell phones or digital cameras. To meet up with someone you had to set a time and a place and each of you had to stick to the plan. The seasons seemed to linger around more, and in general, everyone seemed to have more time. The parks, museums, and subways were less crowded. The rhythm of daily life was more relaxed. People were worried in 1987, but not as worried as we are now." From the publisher: "This wonderful collection of previously unpublished photographs by Mark Steinmetz, made some thirty-five years ago during an extended stay in the South of France, provides welcome insight into his earliest years as a working artist. It comprises over sixty photographs beautifully printed in duotone on Japanese Kasadaka art paper, and bound in Burgundy linen. Limited to only one thousand casebound copies, France 1987 will sell out quickly." Signed by Author.

Photographically illustrated linen-covered boards, no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Todd Hido.

This first edition was limited to 6000 copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From the publisher: "We are thrilled to announce the publication of Todd Hido's stunning new monograph, The End Sends Advance Warning. For over 25 years, Hido has crafted narratives through loose and mysterious suburban scenes, desolate landscapes, and cinematic portraits. Irrespective of its title, this is a book about hope and beauty and why we seek it so desperately at this time. For his latest images he has roamed as far as the Hawaiian Islands and their meteorological opposites; the shores of the Bering Sea, and Nordic fjords above the Arctic Circle. Even with such geographic diversity, Hido captures places that feel at once familiar and unknown; welcoming and unsettling. With this stunning new monograph, Hido picks up where his previous title Bright Black World left off, presenting some 80 new and previously unpublished landscape photographs. The End Sends Advance Warning is beautifully printed on heavyweight art paper and bound in offset printed linen. The book also includes 9 tipped-in photographs printed on Kasadaka art paper, as well as tipped-in and laid-in booklets. A masterpiece of an artist's book, and a must for the serious contemporary art library. Todd Hido's photographs have been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, and most recently at the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Le Locle, Switzerland. Other major institutions that have exhibited Hido's work include the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Miami Art Museum, Florida; Netherland Architecture Institute, Rotterdam; Palazzo Ducale, Genova, Italy; Samsung Museum of Modern Art in Korea; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His work was recently on view in the 49th edition of Les Recontres d'Arles, France. Work by Hido is held in public and private collections including the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Smithsonian; and Fotomuseum Winterthur.".

[Cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume III. (London and New York: Phaidon, 2014)]. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). From the publisher's description of the first printing, announced in 2000: "Todd Hido's large color photographs of suburbia are lonely, forlorn, mysterious. and strangely comforting. Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb. Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air." From the publisher (about the remastered edition): "We are excited to announce a newly remastered edition of Todd Hido's iconic and highly sought-after first monograph, House Hunting. To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of this important book - certainly one of the most influential and oft-cited photography monographs of our time - we have collaborated closely with the artist to achieve a new impression of the highest possible fidelity. Printed on heavy weight matte art paper, using cutting-edge technologies in both the pre-press and production phases, this new edition of House Hunting stays true to the original design and format while delivering even more accurate color rendition and nuances in tone and saturation. It will be a welcome addition to collections lacking access to the very scarce original printings; and to those fortunate enough to own a copy of the original edition, it further illuminates the images themselves that first catapulted the artist and his first monograph to fame.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 2nd Edition. Price is net to all; promotional discounts do not apply. SHIPPING NOTE: Due to size and weight, additional shipping fees apply (calculated at checkout). 2002/2021. Remastered second edition. Boldly signed in [silver or gold] metallic marker on the title page by Hido. Hardcover. Printed paper-covered boards, with photographically illustrated dust jacket. 56 pp. with 26 four-color plates, printed on heavyweight matte art paper, using cutting-edge technologies in both the pre-press and production phases (see publisher's description below). 16-3/4 x 13-3/4 inches. Photographs by Todd Hido. Introduction by Luc Sante. The trade edition of this remastered second edition was limited to 3000 hardbound copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). From the Introduction by Luc Sante: "Todd Hido finds the poetry in that strangeness, which consists of all the matter implied but unsaid in the margins of thrillers. It lurks in the high-tension wires, the high-intensity lights, the leafless trees and ambitious weeds, the hurricane fences and concrete knee-walls, the red night sky of light pollution. If in these pictures it is forever midnight and you are forever stranded and chilled and at a loss, you still have to pay attention to the way the prowler's footprints hover in the snow around the window. The jumble of cars around the bungalow may mean that many adults live there, but it may mean something you don't really want to know about. These pictures might represent views from the undercover surveillance car, if the driver drinking endless coffee waiting for someone to leave or to arrive were capable of appreciating the scene. The silence that permeates these pictures is before or after the fact, or a result of the muffling effects of weather, or else it is permanent, deathlike." From the publisher (about the remastered edition): "We are thrilled to announce a newly remastered edition of Todd Hido's iconic and long-out-of-print second monograph, Outskirts. As with our new edition of House Hunting, released in 2019, we collaborated closely with the artist to achieve the highest possible fidelity reproductions. Printed on heavy weight matte art paper, our new printing of Outskirts surpasses the original printing with more accurate color rendition and subtle nuances in tone and saturation. It will be an important addition to libraries and collections lacking access to the elusive 2002 edition, which itself solidified Hido's position in the art world following on the heels of his groundbreaking first monograph, House Hunting. Todd Hido's photographs have been the subject of solo exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Work by Hido is held in many important public and private collections including the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Smithsonian; and Fotomuseum Winterthur. This new, remastered edition of Outskirts is limited to 3,000 copies." Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page by Kenna. Hardcover. Fine cloth, with photographically illustrated dust jacket; presented in an olive-green cloth slipcase with title debossed in black on one side and a tipped-in image on the other. Photographs by Michael Kenna. Bilingual essay (in English and Italian) by curator Vincenzo de Pompeis. 80 pp., with 65 duotone plates, beautifully printed on matt art paper. 12 x 13 inches. This first printing was limited to 2500 hardbound copies. Out of print. Published to coincide with a major museum exhibition opening in July, 2017 in Loreto Aprutino, Italy. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). From the publisher: "Abruzzo, located in southern Italy, is known as the 'green region of Europe' because of the system of parks and nature reserves covering more than one-third of its territory. It has one of the highest biodiversity indexes in Europe, and one of the richest areas of flora in the world. In Abruzzo, Michael Kenna found a cultural identity that elsewhere, for the most part, has been lost to globalization and instant communication. Kenna photographed medieval ruins, ancient villages and a countryside rich in traditional cultivation. As curator Vincenzo de Pompeis writes in the book's introduction, "Abruzzo's heritage, together with its impressive natural scenery, brings to mind romantic connotations that have historically attracted many international landscape artists, particularly in the 19th century. Michael Kenna fits perfectly into this rich historical vein of celebrated landscape artists who have worked in Abruzzo. Kenna's work often evokes the influences of Romanticism. In his photographs of historic rural landscapes, for example, there is an air of melancholy, which accompanies memories from the past. His images of ruins stir up feelings of passing time, of the constantly evolving ties between history and nature. This gorgeous new monograph by renowned landscape photographer Michael Kenna is published to coincide with a major museum exhibition opening in July, 2017 in Loreto Aprutino, Italy. Richly printed in duotone on matt art paper, and presented in an olive-green cloth slipcase with black debossed text on one side and a tipped-in image on the other, Abruzzo presents 65 images from the series, published here for the first time. Abruzzo opens with a bilingual essay by curator Vincenzo de Pompeis. This first printing is limited to 2,500 copies. A special edition of 100 copies, numbered and signed and presented in a custom clamshell box, is also available." Signed by Author.

Zadeh's first monograph, "Drowned in a Dream" to critical acclaim in Spring of 2019, and we are delighted to announce her first contribution to our One Picture Book Two series. Comprising ten self-portraits made specially for this book, "I" is an intimate, vaguely surreal take on a timeless approach to image making, with the artist herself as the subject. Persian by ancestry and birth, Zadeh moved to France as a child, and then to Holland as a teenager. She has lived in Amsterdam ever since. Originally trained as a classical dancer, after a 12-year career at the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam she turned to photography and publishing. Zadeh became well-known as a champion of outsider artists through her seminal art magazine "Eyemazing", which ran from 2002 to 2013 and which received a coveted Lucie Award. Since then, she has concentrated on her own work as an artist." #10.

From the publisher: "Robbert Flick, born in Holland in 1939, is a Southern California artist who uses photography as his primary medium. This gorgeous new monograph presents an important, early body of work that would inform Flick's approach to all of his subsequent artistic activities: 'The late 1960s was an open-ended time with very few boundaries. I was interested in rendering my photographic experience of Los Angeles, and wanted to emphasize the process of that experience. Rather than framing a moment, it became important to acknowledge it. This meant that the act of photographing became a gesture. I was also quite poor and had a limited amount of film. I kept some several dozen self-rolled films in a shoebox; whenever I went out I would reach in for four or five of them, and return them back into the box when exposed, leaving a snippet of leader so the film could be reused. I would have absolutely no idea what was on which film I put in my camera. At the time I would think of film as an endless continuum, and there was a wish to acknowledge that aspect visually.the idea of multiple exposures was linked to ideas about simultaneity, the use of the "I Ching" and "there is no such thing as accident." I photographed in this manner for a period of three years.' One of the images on the cover of the book captures a moment from an Ortiz destruction event: where a piano filled with blood was hammered apart with an axe and subsequently a large number of mice were set free in mousetrap-filled areas on the floor. This Destruction Performance very much summarized the political conditions of the time and the senseless destruction of human life and landscapes engendered by the Vietnam war. A Getty Scholar and Djerassi Foundation Artist-in-Residence (1989), Flick is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship; he is a two-time recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and was awarded a COLA Grant by the Cultural Affairs Department of the City of Los Angeles in 1999. Robbert Flick's work is in the permanent collections of many important institutions, including The Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; National Museum of American Art; The Chicago Art Institute; The High Museum of Art, Atlanta; and Bibliothèque National, Paris."

From the publisher: "Kazuo Kitai dropped out six months into his first year of art school, revealing a rebellious streak that led him to become involved in the protest movements of 1960s Japan. His first photography book, 'Resistance,' was self-published in 1965. For the rest of the 1960s he continued to follow radical student protests, producingBarricade,Agitatorsand finallySanrizukain 1971. As the 1960s came to a close, Kitai became disillusioned with political themes and turned to the everyday life of ordinary people. Kitai's first journey was to one of the most remote parts of Japan, the Shimokita Peninsula, and photographs from this journey to Shimokita in 1970 make up the first half of this book. In 1972 and 1973 Kitai traveled again to this most northerly part of Honshu, to the neighboring area of Tsugaru, and this makes up the other half of this book. These regions of Shimokita and Tsugaru had been very isolated and barren, with bitterly cold winters. Local language, legends and ancient beliefs had survived into the modern era. The region was known for shamanism and communion with the dead spirits gathering around the holy mountain of Osorezan. During the rest of the 1970s, Kitai was to continue his exploration of rural areas of Japan, for which, in 1976, he received the award of the inaugural Ihei Kimura Prize, Japan's most prestigious award for photography. Kazuo Kitai was born in Manchuria in 1944. He began photographing in the mid-1960s and remains active 50 years later. He is best known for his protest photography of the 1960s and his work on rural Japan in the1970s. In the 1980s, he concerned himself with the citizens of Osaka and Tokyo (Shinsekai Monogatari,Funabashi Story). Recent years have seen him publish a regular column in Nippon Camera magazine ('Walking with Leica') as well as a rise of public interest in his work both in Japan and overseas." Signed by Author.

From the publisher: "Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1935, Philip Melnick grew up in Los Angeles, where he attended the University of California. In the 1970s, shooting with a medium format camera, Melnick made black-and-white photographs of his surroundings, exploring the unique sense of style found in the Southern California urban landscape.Nineteen Seventies Californiaoffers a beautifully presented selection of Melnick's most striking work from this period, in which he displays a keen eye for the character of its vernacular architecture and the distinctive look of its streets: the quirky confluence of a single parked car with a street-facing wall and a fragmented apartment building; the intersection of street, fence and another non-descript apartment house. He isolates the intricate pattern of a wall, creating arresting fusions of everyday sights and geometric abstraction. 'Melnick's images emphasize a push-pull, hard-soft tension that give his pictures distinguished style and great beauty,' wrote the late Fred McDarrah, who was himself a photographer for The Village Voice, as well as a writer, during the years that this series was produced. Philip Melnick's work has been widely exhibited and written about; his photographs are included in the permanent collections of numerous important institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Bibliothèque National, Paris."

From the publisher: "'The end of the 1970s saw the completion of Japan's postwar construction, as well as a withering of the student movement and the various terrorist acts that had shaken the global community. The early 1980s was a brief interlude of calm, anticipating the end of the long Showa era, before Japan was deluged by the bubble economy. I had just returned to Japan in 1980, after studying for four years in Flanders where time moves slowly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. In addition to the rapidly advancing westernization, the reality of this new Tokyo, where old pre-war Showa is blended with modern Showa (post-war), looked disorderly and chaotic to me, and it was not easy to capture it visually. I struggled to realize my own mode of expression in this home country of mine, and began by chasing lights of the night-time to deflect this chaos.'--Toshio Shibata, from the Afterword Born in Japan in 1949, Toshio Shibata entered the painting department of the University of Arts of Tokyo in 1968. He later decided to continue his studies in Europe at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Gant (Belgium) where he turned to photography. It was upon his return to Japan in 1980 that he made the haunting, nighttime photographs of Tokyo presented here for the first time. Toshio Shibata's work is included in the permanent collections of museums around the world, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; J.

From the publisher: "'I entered the Yale School of Art straight from college and left after my first semester. I was 21. I was restless, curious about the America that lay beyond New England, and had a strong interest in the movie industry; I also had heard that Garry Winogrand was somewhere in Los Angeles so in the summer of 1983 I headed west.'--Mark Steinmetz, from the Preface Angel City Westoffers a touching, highly personal look at Los Angeles through the eyes of Mark Steinmetz as a young artist straight out of school. In his preface to the work, Steinmetz describes living in a studio apartment in the Miracle Mile district, complete with a futon surrounded by a dozen roach motels and a makeshift darkroom set up in a tiny nook off of the bathroom. It didn't take long before he ran into Garry Winogrand, for whom he became a kind of unofficial chauffeur, enabling Winogrand to photograph through the car window while Steinmetz navigated the streets of his new hometown. Viewed together in book form, the 58 photographs presented inAngel City Westdocument Steinmetz finding his own voice as an artist. In light of the later projects for which he has become so well known, this early series of street photographs, informal portraits and landscapes foreshadows the sometimes humorous, oftentimes sad, and always poignant mood that runs through Mark Steinmetz's work. Mark Steinmetz's photographs have been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe, and are included in the permanent collections of many important institutions including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Humble was drafted during the Vietnam War, then became a photojournalist for the Washington Post before pursuing a graduate degree at the San Francisco Art Institute. His itinerant nature continued when he traveled the world in the early 1970s, going from Europe to the Middle East, then to Africa and Asia in his Volkswagen van. However, since the summer of 1974 Humble has lived in one place: Los Angeles. In 1979, Humble acquired a 4x5 view camera and began to photograph the Los Angeles that he perceived every dayâ "a Los Angeles that tourists seldom see, and that locals seldom notice. "These pictures depict the reality that the majority of people in Los Angeles experience as commonplace," Humble writes. "The images themselves are not complex; for the most part they are quite simple, and present a set of facts which are intuitively connected by the act of putting a frame around the world. The experience of looking at one of my photographs should be similar to the experience of looking through a window." John Humble's large-scale photographs have been exhibited and collected since the 1970s, and are included in the permanent collections of such institutions as the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; The J.

Volume 1 (NZL Set 3), and Volume 2 (NZL Set 4, forthcoming) both function as stand-alone books; together, they tell a deeper story, playing off of each other and delving deeper into the lives and surroundings of their subjects. The photographs in Hundreds of Sparrows were made in the Central Valley, in particular, the sprawling cities of Modesto, Fresno, and Bakersfield that sit within this vast agricultural region in the geographical center of California. This location also served as the setting for Grannan's debut feature film, "The Nine", which premiered to wide critical acclaim in 2016. Throughout the works, the artist explores the significance and complexity of the seemingly ordinary, the mundane and the overlookedâ "anonymous strangers, familiar gestures and interactionsâ "the soundscape and theatre of nowhere. This is the other side of the American Dream. Katy Grannan's work has been featured in exhibitions worldwide and is included in many permanent collections, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Solomon R.

The city was on the verge of insolvency, mired in a national recession and reeling from the flight of the middle class to the suburbs. Twenty percent of the public workforce was laid off while rates of crime and drug use soared. In these relentlessly frontal, clear-eyed pictures, indications of a grim reality are everywhere to be found in the form of sordid surfaces, improvised signage, cracked windows, and dissident scrawls. When the photographs in this book were first exhibited in 1976, their formal austerity and apparently neutral stance invited comparison with the contemporaneous work of Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and other photographers featured in the seminal "New Topographics" exhibition. Distance, however, has revealed their concerns and temperament to be more akin to those of Marville or Atget, both of whom had a special feeling for the life and death of buildings (and thus of place), or Walker Evans, whose pictures Lincoln Kirstein praised for their clear, hideous and beautiful detail, their open insanity and pitiful grandeur.'"

His frames document those fluid moments of real, lived life, moments not just grabbled or stolen, but ones where he says, â It's important to take an internal pause.' An element of the seeming offhand magic in his photographs is how his sense of this "internal pause," of a near cinematic freeze frame, only enhances his images' apparent spontaneity. The best art often hides its technique . . . Steinmetz is, in fact, is a "street" photographer: a 21st century embodiment of the 19th century flâneur, a man in the world, sensitive to ephemeral moments as photographic capsules of our larger lives. This will come as no surprise to anyone who knows Steinmetz's artistic history as a mentee of Garry Winogrand. You don't have to be a creature of the urban streetscapes that Steinmetz so closely observes in this book in order to "get" his work. From his books of photographs of Greater Atlanta, to the small world of a children's baseball diamond in The Players, Mark Steinmetz's camera focuses closely on these ordinary, even banal, moments of people's daily lives, even when in some images, the people themselves are absent at the instant of the camera exposure. Like the more formal compositions of Cartier-Bresson, Steinmetz's photographs capture their own "decisive moment," less stylized for sure, but often more animated: simply the images of an "American" photographer."

From the publisher: "The title of Anthony Hernandez's monograph takes its name from our collective penchant for discarding what we no longer find useful; in this case, unfinished houses and the land on which they sit, to the east and northeast of Los Angeles. The project arose from the 2008 recession, which hit California particularly hard, when homebuilders and owners faced loans and mortgages that were worth more than their properties. Comprising 35 photographs made in desert and high desert cities such as Riverside, Salton City, Lancaster and Palmdale, Discarded opens with an essay by John Rohrbach, Senior Curator of Photography at the Amon Carter Museum where the work was first exhibited in 2016. Of the photographs, Rohrbach writes: "Where through the 1970s and 1980s the 'New Topographics' generation led by Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz drew photographic attention to the expansion of suburbia across the open West, Anthony Hernandez now asks us to take account of the failures, the pulling back from over-exuberant expectation. Capitalism, of course, is built on optimism and growth, but just as central to its being is failure. We can't all be winners; bust inevitably follows boom. While some initiatives survive, others go under, abandoned to the banks and discarded to the scourges of time and happenstance. The subject offers pathos and an enticing undercurrent of violence. But where others generally embrace the romance of the struggle against the harsh climate, emphasizing isolation and self-sufficiency, Hernandez reminds us of the essentialness of community in these rough places." Anthony Hernandez's photographs have been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe at such institutions as The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The LA County Museum of Art; Sprengel Museum, Hannover; and Centre National de la Photographie, Paris. In 2016, Hernandez's work was the subject of a major retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." NOTE: A SPECIAL EDITION (WITH ONE PRINT) IS ALSO AVAILABLE. Signed by Author.

From the publisher: "In 1964, a young Steve Banks bought one of the most coveted âMuscle Cars' on the marketâ"a Pontiac GTO with a four-speed stick and a Hurst shifter, Tri-Power, and three Rochester 2G carburetors. He then drove Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles to begin his new advertising agency job. Gassing up one day at Nobo's Shell station at Beverly and Larchmont, Banks learned that Nobo had previously been head mechanic at the Courtesy Chevrolet dealership, and that his station had become a center for building and tuning street racers. On and off over the next few months, Banks would leave his car at the garage while Nobo fine-tuned the carburetors, replaced the stock tires, torsion, and sway bars, and added Koni shocks and a Sun tachometer. Next, he taught Banks how to âspeed shift'â"while making late night runs up and down Larchmont Boulevard. One day, Nobo mentioned he was going to a drag race that Saturday, and that Banks was welcome to come along. Witnessing his first drag race, Steve Banks was immediately hooked. He returned the following Saturday, and the next, and again the next; but this time with with his cameras. Over the course of two years, Banks photographed guys preparing runs, the thundering nitro-burning dragsters launching down the strip at two hundred-plus miles per hour, and everything else that moved. Today, fifty years later, the sport of drag racing is a big bucks, corporate-sponsored television broadcast business with the NHRA sporting over two hundred different drag racing classes. However, in a nod to the sport's modest beginnings, almost every weekend from coast-to-coast one can find ânostalgia racing' events preserving the dragster culture of the 1960s captured here in NITRO, Drag Racing In The Sixties: 1964â"1966."

I was just 22 then and now wonder why he had be willing to spend some time with someone so young. I must have come across as OK and probably mentioned some of the right names: Friedlander, Wessel, Zulpo-Dane. Once he called me up (the first time was startling to me as he must have looked up my name in the phone book) to see what I was up to the next day. I said, "If it's sunny, I'm going to photograph; if it's rainy, I'm going to print." "Likewise," he said. Maybe in some ways we were similar. One day I asked Garry to go with me to photograph at the LA Zoo and he agreed. We had a full day and shot until the light faded. As we were nearing the exit, Garry spotted Bernadette Peters, the famous movie and Broadway actress, who was visiting the zoo with her boyfriend. Garry photographed her before on the set of John Huston's movie, Annie. She and her boyfriend were dressed in identical jeans and jackets.

Out in the parking lot he sank into the passenger seat and said, "Boy, you don't know how tired you are till you sit down." In February of 1984, I called him up to say I had decided to leave town and move back east. His voice on the other end of the phone sounded terrible, very weak.

The following month, a couple weeks before my 23rd birthday, I was at my parents' house in Hartford and my mother brought me the New York Times. Without saying a word, she pointed to Garry's obituary. During the time we spent together, there had been a cancer growing inside of him but he didn't know it. Garry was always looking outward, beyond himself.' We are pleased to announce the publication of Volume 3 in Mark Steinmetz's trilogy Angel City West. Building upon the narrative he began with Volumes 1 & 2, Steinmetz presents 54 previously unpublished photographs made during his stay in Los Angeles in 1981-84."
