Thomas Allen - Uncovered Thomas Allen selects the pulpiest of pulp paperbacks and then lovingly slices out a figure from the cover, gently folds it into position, and constructs a witty scene around it. In Thirst, a sultry dame reaches from her cover toward a guy with a bottle on a nearby volume; in Teeter a man careens toward the edge of a stack of paperbacks ready to topple. Well suited to the three-dimensional heft of a board book, the images in Uncovered are combined into an almost toylike object that will delight photography lovers, graphic designers, and bibliophiles with a sense of humor. First Edition, Board book with die-cut cover, 2007 Aperture, 8.5x7", 27 four-color plates, 48 Pages. Signed by Thomas Allen. $45.00. Emi Anrakuji - (See Limited Edition section below) |

A MUST HAVE! Ruth Bernhard - The Eternal Body A forty-plus year retrospective collection of Bernhard's work, a classic title in the world of nude photography and a magnificently produced and very beautiful book.

My quest through the magic of light and shadow, is to isolate, to simplify and to give emphasis to form with the greatest clarity." Fifty duotone plates w/ 24 pages of insightful text. Softcover edition, 2006, Chronicle Books, 11.5x12". RARE and VERY limited ~ few copies remain.

Paul Caponigro - Meditations in Silver In the 1960s, following a move to New York City, Paul Caponigro focused his attention on still lifes. In the words of David Stroud, his iconic image Apple, New York City, 1964, "sums up Caponigro's exploration of still life at that time as it looks forward to his later work." Truly, those words were prophetic. In 1999, 35 years later and after a hiatus of six years from all things photographic, Caponigro stated simply, "Objects collected from nature started to wink at me." One senses that the meticulously composed still lifes presented on these pages are personal elegies as well as archetypical totems, inviting viewers to explore their own personal mythology. This volume contains 44 still-life studies all produced between 1999 and 2005. Hardbound in black cloth with dust jacket. First Edition (now Out-of-Print), 2008, Nazraeli Press, 10.5x9". $49.00. |

Elliott Erwitt - Personal Best This stunning assembly of work was personally selected by Erwitt himself. Many of these images have never been published before. The generous trim size and large number of double-page spreads allow you to admire the master's technique and artistry up close.

Lee Friedlander - New Mexico Pioneering photographer Lee Friedlander has been making images of what he calls "the American social landscape" for more than 50 years. His influence reaches across several generations. Friedlander has been visiting Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and northern New Mexico since the late 60s. This new volume of work presents a sequence of images made during his travels in these regions between 1995 and the present. Armed with his signature Hasselblad camera and wandering the back roads in an assortment of rental cars, Friedlander has journeyed from the Plaza of Santa Fe to adobe strewn neighborhood barrios and into the gorgeous, high-altitude desert. In Lee Friedlander: New Mexico, we see the same attentive curiosity that we've come to expect. He is a master of creating unity out of diverse shapes and complex tones in the two dimensional picture plane. First Edition, 2008, Radius Books, 12.25x11.5", hardcover with dust jacket w/ photo repro plate attached. 45 duotone plates. Signed by Lee Friedlander. $90.00. |

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Lee Friedlander - Cherry Blossom Time in Japan: The Complete Works "I first went to Japan in 1977 and found the whole country ablaze with blossom. I went again in 1979, 1981 and 1984, always at cherry blossom time. As far as I knew, Japan was always abloom." So says the legendary American photographer Lee Friedlander, whose newest publication presents, for the first time, the complete set of 73 images that the artist made during his four trips to Japan. The groundbreaking black-and-white images-first seen as 25 photogravures in a 1986 portfolio, and long out of print-appear as examples of radical picture-making even 20 years later, as few serious photographers would have dared to photograph cherry blossoms with anything other than color film at that time. The result is a new kind of beauty, with many of the compositions bordering on visual chaos. Behind the green cover with the pink Japanese characters all the horizontal images are gathered. Flip the book up and over, and behind the pink cover with the green characters are all the vertical images. The two sections of the book are separated by a single page; green on one side and pink on the other. The only text, appropriately, is the list of plates, a brief but eloquent statement by the artist and a lovely poem in both English and Japanese that is as relevant today as it was when it was written in the ninth century. This volume perfectly incorporates ingenious design with first-rate printing. First Edition, 2006, Fraenkel Gallery/D.A.P., 8.25x11.25", hardcover without dust jacket, as issued. 156 pp. with 73 tritone drytap plates. Signed by Lee Friedlander. $149.00. |

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Lee Friedlander - STEMS In 1994, suffering from aching knees and painfully concerned about it, Lee Friedlander decided to prepare himself for a sedentary life. He began to pursue the still life as a possibility and maybe a way of photographic life-a dramatic shift for a man who has spent his life photographing on the street, in the woods, on the road, at parties, anywhere but sitting down. He tried a variety of subjects with a few good results, but nothing stood out until he began to look at the fresh flowers that his wife Maria placed around their home in cut-glass vases. But nevermind the flowers. True to Friedlander's style, he very quickly found himself most interested in the stems. During the months of February, May, June and December of 1994, he focused his lens on wild arrays of stems and the optical splendor produced by light refracting through the glass vases that contained them. In 1998, Friedlander had both of his knees surgically replaced. Three months of recovery time passed during which he took no pictures, the only gap in almost 50 years of working. The next year, successfully rehabilitated and walking without pain, Friedlander decided to re-apply himself to the stems and finish them off as a subject. Published in a lush, oversize volume, printed with a special drytrap process, Stems is the result of this unusual saga in the photographer's career. It is also perhaps his most beautifully printed volumes. First Edition, 2003, D.A.P., 12.25x10.25", cloth-bound hardcover with photo-repro plate affixed to front cover, without dust jacket, as issued. 96 pp. with 66 tritone drytap plates. Signed by Lee Friedlander. ONE AVAILABLE. $149.00. |

RARE! Michael Kenna - Impossible to Forget Michael Kenna photographed Nazi concentration and extermination camps from 1988 to 2000, subsequently donating all negatives, prints, and their respective rights to the French Government and the Caen Memorial. Kenna first visited the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp in France in 1986. Two years later he returned, still marked by the initial emotional impact, no doubt the key to his decision to develop a project about the Holocaust. Since then, he has repeatedly returned to Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, Lublin-Majdanek, Ravensbruck, Buchenwald and many other camps to photograph their restless emptiness. RARE.

Man Ray - American Artist (by Neil Baldwin) Man Ray is the quintessential modernist figure - painter, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, poet, and philosopher. One of the most fascinating of the Surrealists who transformed the Paris art world during the 1920s, Man Ray was an enigma - a Dadist who revered the Old Masters, an anarchist pursued by wealthy patrons. Driven to make his mark in as many art forms as pssible, he struggled bitterly to win acceptance as a painter even as his skill as a photographer brought him worldwide fame. Written with the close cooperation of his widow, Juliet, Man Ray is the definitive story of the life and times of one of the greatest modern artists, a man whose influence on culture resonates even today. Second Paperback Edition, 1988, Da Capo Press, 9.25x6.25". Signed by Neil Baldwin. $22.50. |

NEW & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Mark Mothersbaugh - Beautiful Mutants Mark Mothersbaugh's art leads the viewer to see the hidden mutant in us all. The artist renders a study of humans via symmetry, using photos, both recent and vintage, in which each photograph, like the "self" in Jungian analysis, is transformed to emerge from its chrysalis as something with expected and uninvestigated properties. It no longer represents anything immediately known; rather, it now appears in a double guise, as both known and unknown. Mothersbaugh's images are real yet unreal, of this world yet otherworldly, mysterious yet deeply, if unconsciously, meaningful. The mutants are taken from nature in the form of images pulled from man's past, then corrected into sickeningly beautiful beings to become, through this "correction," symbolic. Mark Mothersbaugh is also a founding member of the music group DEVO and has composed music for television, film, and games. RARE. Black faux-leather, embossed hardcover with gold foil stamped title on cover and spine; photo repro plate attached. Red cloth bookmark sewn into spine. First Edition, 2007, Grand Central Press. 8.5x7.5". 252 full-color plates. Signed by Mark Mothersbaugh. $75.00. |
