I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library Jorge Luis Borges

Borges’ imaginary library was as vast as the universe itself, where every real or conceivable book would be represented

and no two books were identical. In the third century BC Aristotle’s disciple Demetrius of Phalerum had proposed a

universal library, one to hold copies of all the books in the world. The result was the Mouseion, the Library of

Alexandria and its grandiose purpose was to encompass the totality of human knowledge. The burning of the Library at

Alexandria forever linked books to the loss of memory, though apparently now all such concerns are assuaged by the

possibilities of digital media as a repository for memory. Google have declared their intention to collect every book

online, an ambition that puts them up there with the Ptolomies. Whilst the advantages of this total library are clear, it

will not change the nature of the books we publish, nor preclude the bibliomaniacs who have adorned the history of book

collecting. Take the Grand Vizier of Persia, Abdul Kassem Ismael, who in the tenth century always traveled with his

library of 117,000 volumes on a caravan of four hundred camels trained to walk in alphabetical order.

Borges understood better than most the essential physicality of books and wrote of “the magnificent irony” when he was

appointed director of Argentina’s National Library in the year he went blind. It is these physical objects with which

people build their libraries, and every collection, small or large, is a library of preferences and personal choices, an

inventory of a life.

The individual nature of the books we make with our artists, and the fact that they are each realised as the dream,

desire and vision of that artist, affords them a place in libraries and collections. We publish numerous books which

catalogue exhibitions but our work as a publishing house has now come down to this one thing more than any other:

to work over a long period with our artists to create publications which become a piece of that artist’s history and their

lifetime’s work. It can take many forms: one all encompassing and extensive publication, a series of artists’ books,

multiple volumes published at one time, a collection of books over a decade, a complete library of all previously

published and previously unpublished works, a series of catalogue raisonnés of an entire life’s work.

The few books and projects highlighted in this catalogue are just some that may become a part of libraries

and collections of the future and each of them stands as a testament to the work of the artist with whom they

have been made.

Jim Dine redefines everything,

his life and his art in these fifty-two books.

Trying to realize the depth of his aesthetic and profane reality, the books are

also documents of an artistic consciousness, of an intense biography, of

personal likes and dislikes, of formal richness and of exploding craftsman-

ship, of an exceptional imagination.

These books invent the context for a new melody for the art of Jim Dine, for

all the major byways of this seemingly inexhaustible creativity, which com-

bines dream and reality – it is a composition for all the people who would

like to sing a new song, maybe their own song.

Dine has reflected authentically on his own identity and through it the iden-

tity of reality, nature, art, thoughts, feelings in an extraordinary poetic way:

We see a POEM, we read an IMAGE.

They are books one may read and regard as a summary of an unusual life.

Jim Dine reading (plus one song)

An audio CD is included in ten of the books. These

CDs contain numerous poems, an autobiography,

a memoir of Robert Creeley and a performance by

Jim Dine of a song he wrote 40 years ago.

“This Hot Dream first appeared as an idea 3 years ago. Steidl embraced and blessed the project so I went ahead. I stewed

about it for 2 years then I stood around waiting to talk to Gerhard about it then finally I got down to putting the books together.

My method, as in all my work, is the use of collage, painting and drawing, and correcting; coupled with my writing and my

untouched photographs. The fact of making a book a week and the sensual possibilities i.e. the act of making a union with

humans through the smell of the ink on the paper, the feel of the images and words. Hot Dream tells a lot about me, Dine,

and book-making.”

Jim Dine was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1935. His art has been the subject of numerous individual and group shows and is

in the permanent collections of museums around the world. Steidl has previously published his books Birds, The

Photographs, so far (vol. 1–4), This Goofy Life of Constant Mourning, Drawings of Jim Dine, Some Drawings, Entrada

Drive, 3 Poems by Jim Dine and Diana Michener, Pinocchio, Aldo et Moi, and L’Odyssée de Jim Dine. A Survey of Printed

Works 1985–2006.

WORK presents images from Brian Clarke’s sketchbooks, which explore various themes as they evolve into “finshed”

artworks throughout his working practice. WORK is structured into seven volumes, six of which embrace specific

themes: the fleur de lys, from nature, CDJ (a male figurative study), heraldry, splashes, and skulls. The seventh volume

is an index for the other six volumes, showing large-scale artworks that resulted from the thematic explorations in the

sketchbooks. Including oil paintings, stained glass, works in lead and mosaics, the index is, in Clarke’s words, the “parts

of the sum” as evident in the other volumes. Clarke’s sketchbooks embody the poetic journey through which he explores

ideas, and present a myriad of medias incorporating drawing, collage, watercolour and photography. Each volume

in WORK contains a selection of images from multiple sketchbooks, and is thus a distilled vision of the lyrical

nvestigatory processes that shape Clarke’s art.

Brian Clarke is one of the world’s leading artists who incorporates art with architectural environments. Working in

painting, mosaic, tapestry and particularly stained glass, his collaborators include Will Alsop, Norman Foster, Zaha

Hadid, Arata Isozaki, and Future Systems. His work adorns buildings such as the Victoria Quarter Leeds, the Stanford

Cone Connecticut, the Pyramid of Peace in Kazakhstan, the Al Faisaliah Centre in Riyadh, and the Pfizer World

Headquarters in New York.

of Baltz in the development of contemporary photogra-

phy with the publication or re-issue of all of his primary

bodies of work as individual volumes. In 2008 Steidl will

publish six volumes and a further three will be published

in 2009. A nine volume special edition housed in a slip-

case will also be available.

Fernando Pessoa But since men see more with eyes than soul

Ovid My soul would sing of metamorphoses.But since, o gods, you were the source of thesebodies becoming other bodies, breatheyour breath into my book of changes …

Karl Lagerfeld This is about the evolution of a very young American who goes into life with unspoiled eyes, with a spirit fresh and naïve, a perfect face and strong limbs. Everything is new for him. He wants to discover it all and dive into the stream of an unexpected life, full of surprises.

Ingrid Sischy … their instant connection was a surprise for both the one behind the lens and the one in front of it. It was one of those lightening moments that go on in photography that can’t be predicted, or forced, or even created. It just happens, or it doesn’t.

Amanda Harlech Brad always surprised us – the gamester with a card up his sleeve – but none of us could have imagined that this quintessential American boy had such a gift.

Karl Lagerfeld

Metamorphoses of an American

A Cycle of Youth 2003-2008

In Metamorphoses of an American Karl Lagerfeld traces the physical and emotional development of Brad Kroenig, once

an unknown but now the world’s most sought-after male model. Lagerfeld discovered Kroenig in 2003, took his first pho-

tographs of him in Biarritz, and since then has observed him through his photographic lens, month by month.

In hundreds of photographs Lagerfeld explores Kroenig’s evolution from a young “All American Boy” into a professional

model conscious of the subtleties of facial and corporeal expression. These photographs are however not simply doc-

umentation; rather Lagerfeld and Kroenig work together to create a new persona, one which Kroenig expresses with-

out losing a sense of his own self.

Lagerfeld selects a spectrum of literary and cultural references for Kroenig to interpret: we see him as James Dean, as

Rudolph Valentino, as a Gatsby-like figure from F. Scott Fitzgerald, and as Lieutenant Pinkterton from Puccini’s Madame

Butterfly. Yet throughout these transformations, there is never the sense that Kroenig is merely acting; instead he pres-

ents newly discovered aspects of himself through the guises of other characters.

Metamorphoses of an American contains photography made both within and beyond the fashion world. However re-

gardless of the purpose of Lagerfeld’s images, each evidences rigorous formal principles grounded in an appreciation

of early twentieth-century photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen. Indeed Lagerfeld refers to his

work more as “pictures” than photographs, conveying the graphic processes of construction and design from which each

image emerges.

Karl Lagerfeld, fashion designer, book dealer and publisher, also began working as a photographer in 1987. He has re-

ceived the Lucky Strike Design Award from the Raymond Lewy Foundation, the cultural prize from the German Photo-

graphic Society, and most recently the ICP Trustees Award at the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Awards

in 2007. Steidl has published most of Lagerfeld’s photography books, including Waterdance/Bodywave, Akstrakt, A Por-

trait of Dorian Gray, 7 Fantasmes of a Woman, Room Service, Palazzo and others.

Paul Graham

a shimmer of possibility

“Perhaps instead of standing by the river bank scooping out water, it’s better to immerse yourself in the current, and

watch how the river comes up, flows smoothly around your presence, and gently reforms the other side like you were

never there.” Paul Graham

Inspired by Chekhov’s short stories, Paul Graham’s a shimmer of possibility comprises 10 individual books, each

volume a photographic short story of everyday life in today’s America. Most of these books contain small sequences of

images, such as a man smoking a cigarette while he waits for a bus in Las Vegas, or a walk down a street in Boston on

an autumn afternoon. Often two, three or four sequences intertwine in a single book, like separate but related lives

co-existing in suburban America. Sometimes the quiet narrative breaks unexpectedly into a sublime moment – while a

couple carry their shopping home in Texas a small child dances with a plastic bag in a garden; as a man cuts the grass

in Pittsburgh it begins to rain and the low sun breaks through to illuminate every raindrop. These filmic haikus avoid the

forceful summation we usually find in photography, shunning any tidy packaging of the world into perfect images.

Instead, life simply flows around and past us while we stand and stare, quietly astonished by it’s beauty and grace.

Whilst the ten books are all an identical size, they vary in length from just a single photograph, to 60 pages of images

made at one street intersection. The radical form of this multi volume book embraces the unique nature of Graham’s

work, giving the flow of life precedence over conclusiveness, where nothing much happens, but nothing is foreclosed

either, where everything shimmers with possibility.

Paul Graham is recognised as one of our leading contemporary photographic artists. His work has been widely exhibited

and published for 25 years, and a mid career museum survey of his work is scheduled for an international tour

commencing at Museum Folkwang, Essen in January 2009. His last book, American Night, was published by SteidlMACK.

Dayanita Singh

Sent a Letter

Dayanita Singh has been making small photo journals of her travels in India for some years now. Each book is made

with a certain person in mind, either one she has made the journey with or one that was on her mind on her travels. Two

copies are handmade by her, one remains with her (she calls this her kitchen museum) and the other with the friend it

was made for. A diary with coded images of a time shared. Steidl is pleased to publish 7 of these diaries for the first

time, along with an eighth diary, of Nony Singh’s photographs of her daughter growing up. The diaries are in accordion

folds and open into a mini private exhibition in her friends’ homes. They will be presented in a handmade wooden box.

Dayanita Singh, born in 1961 in New Delhi, studied visual communication at the National Insititue of design,

Ahmedabad, and documentary photography at ICP, New York. Singh has had several solo shows but her passion is

making books: Myself Mona Ahmed, Privacy, Chairs, Go Away Closer.

Juergen Teller

The Master

In the summer of 2005 Steidl published a small booklet of Juergen Teller’s work, titled ‘The Master’. It offered a

characteristic examination of his own world and persona as a photographer, a mixture of fashion and commissioned

works, alongside self-portraits, family photographs and scenes from his Bavarian home. The title and starting point for

the book were portraits of two of his heroes, the photographers William Eggleston and Nobuyoshi Araki. The book

quickly went out of print and a second edition of the ‘The Master’ will now be printed alongside ‘The Master II’,

marking the beginning of a series of booklets that will culminate in a slip-cased edition of all ten or more at some point

in the future. ‘The Master II’ comprises his recent body of work ‘Ukraine’ in which he chose to employ the city of Kiev

as the setting for a fashion shoot, mixing fashion, still-lives of the city, and portraits of ordinary people as a way of rep-

resenting his own fantasy of a country marked by a brash youthful energy and an obsession with capitalism.

Juergen Teller, born in Erlangen, Germany in 1964, studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in

Munich and has lived and worked in London since 1986. His work in books, magazines and exhibitions is marked by

his refusal to separate commercial fashion pictures from his autobiographical work. Teller’s work has been the subject

of solo exhibitions including the Photographers’ Gallery, London, the Kunsthalle Wien and the Fondation Cartier pour

l’art Contemporain, Paris. He was awarded the 2003 Citibank Prize and in 2007 he represented the Ukraine as one

of five artists in the 52nd Venice Biennale. He has participated in group shows at the Museum of Modern Art in New

York and Tate Modern in London. Teller has produced numerous monographs, most recently Nürnberg and

Vivienne Westwood.

Daniel Brush

Thirty Years’ Work

Special Limited Edition

Over the course of thirty years, working in virtual seclusion from the mainstream, Daniel Brush has created an

unparalleled body of work which includes painting, sculpture and jewelry. His large-scale canvases and drawings –

inspired by the expressive, disciplined gestures of the Noh theatre – integrate Brush’s study of Asian philosophy and

the drama of modernist painting. His three-dimensional works include delicate granulated gold domes in the traditions

of the ancient goldsmiths, jewel-encrusted objects of virtue and fantasy, and gold and steel sculptures, some only a

few inches high.

Imbued with a timeless quality and mesmerizing in their intricacy, Brush’s objects bear comparison with the work of

historical masters and are included in numerous collections. His recent wall pieces in blued steel and pure gold

engage the ambient light. His table works in stainless steel and pure gold, hand-engraved with thousands of rhythmic

lines, are visual poems that record the passage of time. Daniel Brush has developed a rigorous personal aesthetic

marked by its intellectual force, mastery of technique and the science of materials. His idiosyncratic, contemplative

work marks a journey of evolving mastery, and bodies forth a deeply expressive voice in American art.

Daniel Brush was born in 1947 and lives in New York City. He has had seven one-person museum exhibitions,

including a retrospective at the Smithsonian Institution and a recent exhibition at the Lannan Foundation, and has

represented the U.S. in international competitions.

Robert Polidori

Transitional States / Parcours Muséologique Revisité

Transitional States is Robert Polidori’s attempt to visually portray aspects of historical revisionism as seen through

various stages of the restoration of the Palace of Versailles. What does it really mean to restore a room? Is it about the

precise duplication of something which is now showing the wear and tear of its age, to renew it and make it again as it

once was? Or does it involve entirely redefining the room’s epidermis to a completely different state, a state that it may

once have had in an earlier epoch? The curatorial decisions that control this process reflect a political will and esthetic

tastes which have altered over the period of the restoration.

Photographed over a period of 25 years, the transient and temporary situations which the labors of these restorations

afford, present temporal paradoxes that engage layers of history and power.

Robert Polidori was born in Montréal in 1951 and lives in New York City. His work has been shown in Paris, Brasília,

New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, among other places. A staff photographer of The New Yorker, Polidori has

received numerous honors, including a World Press Award for his coverage of the building of the Getty Museum and

two Alfred Eisenstaedt Awards for his work in Havana and Brasilia. His bestselling books Havana, Zones of

Exclusion – Pripyat and Chernobyl and After the Flood are published by Steidl.

Robert Frank

Polaroids

After completing The Americans in 1958, Robert Frank put aside the single image and concentrated throughout

the 1960s on film-making. He only returned to still-photographs in the 1970s, using a Polaroid camera with

black-and-white positive/negative film. He frequently layered the images with text, which he inscribed by hand onto the

Polaroid negative. Frank found that these works allowed him more freedom to “destroy that image, that perfect image”.

In recent years Robert Frank has worked almost exclusively with Polaroids, exploring the collage and assemblage

possibilities of the instant photograph. Polaroids brings together sequences of single images Frank has been

compiling to create books of new work. As always the photographs and stories relate Frank’s life and milieu, his home

in Mabou and New York, or a trip to China or Spain. This collection of small books is a new stage in the practice of this

remarkable artist who continually challenges the limits of photography and film and strives to avoid repeating himself.

Robert Frank

Peru

Writing from New York in March 1949, Robert Frank sent home to his mother in Switzerland a birthday gift of a book

maquette of a series of photographs he had made during a visit to Peru. Frank made an identical book for himself and

one of each of these two dummies now resides in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and National

Gallery of Art, Washington.

A few of these images are well-known in Frank’s oeuvre but previously the entire series had only ever been seen by a

small number of people. This book presents for the first time the complete sequence of images, based on the

original book Frank had conceived and realised under his direction. Peru is a work of major historical significance in both

the artist’s history and the history of photography.

Robert Frank was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1924 and went to the United States in 1947. He is best known for his

seminal book The Americans, first published in 1958, which gave rise to a distinct new art form in the photo-book, and

his experimental film Pull My Daisy, made in 1959. His other important projects include the book Black White and

Things, 1954, the book The Lines of My Hand, 1959, and the film Cocksucker Blues for the Rolling Stones, 1972.

He divides his time between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.

Paris

Paris is the first time that the significant body of photographs which Robert Frank made in Paris in the early 1950s has

been brought together in a single book. His visit to Paris in 1951 was his second return to Europe after he had settled in

New York City in 1947 and some of the images he made during that visit have become iconic in the history of the medium.

The 80 photographs selected by Robert Frank and Ute Eskildsen suggest that Frank’s experience of the “new world”

had sharpened his eye for European urbanism. He saw the city’s streets as a stage for human activity and focused

particularly on the flower sellers. His work clearly references Eugène Atget and invokes the tradition of the flaneur.

Pull My Daisy

Pull My Daisy is a 1959 short film that typifies the Beat Generation. Directed by Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie, Daisy

was adapted by Jack Kerouac from the third act of a stage play he never finished titled Beat Generation. Kerouac also

provided improvised narration. It starred Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Larry Rivers, Peter Orlovsky, David Amram,

Richard Bellamy, Alice Neel, Sally Gross and Pablo Frank, Robert Frank’s then-infant son.

Based on an incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn, Daisy tells the story of a railway brakeman whose

painter wife invites a respectable bishop over for dinner. However, the brakeman’s bohemian friends crash the party,

with comic results. The title Pull My Daisy was taken from the poem of the same name written by Kerouac, Ginsberg

and Neal Cassidy over the 1940s and 1950s. The poem features in the film as the lyric within the jazz composition at

the film’s opening.

The Beat philosophy emphasized spontaneity, and the film conveyed the quality of having been thrown together or even

improvised. Pull My Daisy was accordingly praised for years as an improvisational masterpiece, until Leslie revealed in

a 1968 article in the Village Voice that the film was actually carefully planned, rehearsed, and directed by him and Frank,

who shot the film on a professionally lit studio set.

This book interweaves a transcript of Kerouac’s narration from the film with film stills and also includes an

introduction by Jerry Tallmer written in 1961.

Berenice Abbott

Berenice Abbott is one of the most significant figures in photography and her accomplishments in the field were more

wide ranging than any of her contemporaries. Berenice Abbott not only offers a comprehensive retrospective of her

complete oeuvre, encompassing all the primary projects she undertook in her 60 year career, but also presents this work

in context with her other accomplishments: inventor, author, teacher and photo historian. This two volume book is the

definitive publication on the life and work of one of the masters of the photographic medium.

Volume I contains Abbott’s portraits beginning in Paris in the 1920s. They include many of the most notable and

influential writers, artists, politicians and personalities of the day. Less known aspects of her work are also well

represented, such as her images of the American Scene including her ground breaking US Route 1 project and her

Portrait of Maine in the 1960s.

Also in Volume I is Abbott’s final major undertaking considered by many to be her crowning achievement – documenting

science. It consumed her from 1939 to1961, culminating with three triumphant years at the Massachusetts Institute of

Technology, producing work of astounding beauty and clarity for the Physical Science Study Committee.

Volume II is devoted to her photographs of New York. The monumental project Changing New York documenting the

physical and social changes of the city in the 1930s is supplemented by her photographs prior to and after that work

as well as those of Greenwich Village in 1947/1948.

Berenice Abbott was born in Springfield, Ohio in 1898. She attended Ohio State University for a single semester and

then moved to New York to continue her education. After only a week at Columbia University she left, becoming part of

the bohemian life in Greenwich Village. She worked at a series of odd jobs before talking up sculpture. In 1921, she

moved to Paris to study sculpture, barely supporting herself with temporary jobs before going to Berlin where she was

equally unsuccessful. Returning to Paris with no money and no job her fortune changed when she became a dark room

assistant to her friend Man Ray in 1925. She learned quickly and soon became a successful photographer. She

returned to the United States in 1929 and had an active career that lasted over six decades. Berenice Abbott died at

her home in Monson, Maine in 1991.

Joel Sternfeld

Oxbow Archive

On a summer morning in 1833, Thomas Cole, a British-born, American landscape painter climbed to the top of Mount

Holyoke in central Massachusetts and made a sketch of the Connecticut River where it bends and resembles an ox yoke.

Three years later the sketch he made that morning became View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts,

after a Thunderstorm (The Oxbow).

The four by six foot painting, now a key work of American art has been described as Cole’s attempt to create a moving

time/space panorama within a single frame – the passage of time is represented by the ongoing fury of the storm on

the mountain as sunshine returns to the meadow below. Cole was skeptical about progress and the painting may

represent a warning about the clearing of wilderness to make open land for farms and factories. Nearly two hundred

years after Cole painted The Oxbow, the American photographic artist, Joel Sternfeld, walked into the mile square field

depicted in the lower right quadrant of Cole’s painting. Sternfeld had first photographed this field in 1978

while traveling on American Prospects. By the time he returned in 2006, the Oxbow in the river was crossed by an

interstate highway and the destructive effects of progress that Cole had feared were making themselves apparent

globally as climate change.

Sternfeld spent the next year and a half walking that field, commuting to it on an almost daily basis from his home in

southern Vermont. His archive is a record of classic New England seasonality, a nature study unlike any other as it is

made with the foreknowledge that because of global warming it will never be the same again. His choice of subject

matter, a flat unremarkable corn and potato field (archetypal new world crops), signals a conceptual stance away from

previous nature depictions: his field is neither Beautiful, nor Sublime, nor Picturesque. The flatness of the field, an

unusual stretch of visual freedom in the New England highlands offers an eloquent emptiness and a vessel for the true

subject his work: iconic seasonal effect as manifestation of the orbiting Earth.

Sternfeld’s time landscape is also a companion piece to his recently published Sweet Earth: Experimental Utopias in

America and to When It Changed (pictures at the Montreal Climate Change Conference) and needs to be understood

in terms of the political and cultural resonances of those works. Joel Sternfeld is a much published and exhibited artist.

Amongst his previous books with Steidl are American Prospects and Walking the High Line.

Joel Sternfeld

When it Changed

“Future generations are going to wonder about us, the inhabitants of the Earth when the climate began to change. If

seas are rising and at the same time drinking water is scarce, they are going to want to know what scientific evidence

was before us and what we did in response to it. It is difficult to imagine a time in the past without an image, so I went

to Montreal in 2005 to photograph the participants in the eleventh United Nations conference on climate change.” Joel

Sternfeld The resulting 53 color portraits of participants at the conference form the heart of this book. The mezzo busto

close-ups fit within a tradition of portraiture that dates back to the Renaissance but the anxiety on each face seems like

something only modernity and the advent of ecological collapse could produce. A text culled from newspapers and

jounals and presented in the form of wire service transmissions provides a chronology of climate change as it has

occured in the past 20 years–in the thinking and predictions of scientists and climatologists; in the actions of

governments and non-governmental organizations, and in the landscape where dramatic and catastrophic events are

occuring. By the title When It Changed Sternfeld may be referrring to a more hopeful turning point. In the past few years

increasing recognition of the danger has led to many positive responses across the globe to confront humanity’s great-

est challenge. If these efforts are successful then this period will be noted as the historic time when the humanearth

relationship changed.

A major figure in the world of photography, Joel Sternfeld was born in New York City in 1944. His recent books include

Sweet Earth: Experimental Utopias in America, Walking the High Line and a reprint of his seminal 1987 publication,

American Prospects, all published by Steidl. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including two Guggenheim

fellowships, a Prix de Rome and the Citibank Photography Award.

Jean-Louis Dumas

Jean-Louis Dumas: Photographer

Jean-Louis Dumas always carries with him two things, a small red notebook and an old Leica. He has taken

photographs all his life, mostly in black and white, cataloguing momentous moments and trivial asides on his extensive

travels with work, family and friends. Dumas is a sophisticated amateur photographer whose professional milieu, as

creative director of Hermès for 30 years, and friendships with masters of the medium such as Edouard Boubat, have

instilled in his photography an elegant sensibility. This collection brings together a life’s work and reflects a love

affair with photography.

Jean-Louis Dumas, born in 1938, son of one of the four daughters of Emile Hermès, entered the reputed Maison

Hermès of rue du faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1964. He started out as a salesman and went on to become the chairman

and creative director in 1978, before retiring in 2006.

Raymond Depardon

Manhattan Out

Raymond Depardon arrived in New York in the winter of 1980. He was visiting a friend who had just taken up a job in

the city and to kill time he strolled around the streets with his Leica. He decided to take pictures without ever looking

through the camera’s viewfinder, working incognito in the nooks and crannies of New York. He amassed two or three

rolls a day but at the time was thoroughly disappointed with the results.

Depardon never mentioned the work to anyone and only decided to unveil these “blind” pictures 27 years later. He was

surprised to discover that most of his subjects were aware that they were being photographed. Their knowing glances

towards the camera lens imbued with a pretence of indifference immortalises the very spirit and charm of this, the

ultimate city.

Raymond Depardon, born in 1942 in Villefranche-sur-Saône, is a film-maker, photographer and journalist. Co-founder

of the agency Gamma in 1967, he travelled the world as a photojournalist and began making documentaries in the

Direct Cinema tradition. In 1978 he joined Magnum Photos. In 1991 he was awarded the Grand Prix National de la

Photographie and his work Délits flagrants won the César for best documentary film in 1995. He has made 18 feature

films and published about 40 books. He lives in Paris.

Paul Virilio, born in Paris in 1932, is a Senior Professor at the École Spéciale d’Architecture of Paris and was formerly

Director and Head of the same institution between 1968 and 1998. After his first philosophical essays, he became the

director of the collection Espace Critique by éditions Galilée in 1973. He was awarded the Grand Prix National de la

Critique in 1987. In 1990, he became the course director at the Collège International de Philosophie when Jacques

Derrida was the principal. In 1992, he became a member of the Haut Comité pour le logement des défavorisés, presided

by Louis Besson. As an urban designer and an essayist, specialising in strategic questions about new technology,

Virilio, has published widely in France and abroad. He has been a supporter of the association Non-Violence XXI, ever

since its creation in 2001. He lives in La Rochelle.

Eric Klemm

Silent Warriors

More than 100 years after Edward Curtis’s work on the “Great Warriors”, Eric Klemm continued that historical work

by photographing as many members of the devastated tribes of North American Indians as he could find.

No longer warriors yet still heroic, these ordinary people are survivors who refused to give up their culture and thereby

give birth to a future.

Eric Klemm, born 1939 in Germany, now lives and works on Salt Spring Island near Vancouver, British Columbia,

Canada. After first studying graphic design, he turned seriously to photography in 1968. Klemm has been affiliated with

the legendary German magazine twen and contributed in the seventies to top German magazines such as Stern,

Freundin, Eltern, Zeit Magazin and the German edition of Playboy. During this period he published four books and

became a member of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie. In 1999 he began painting, which has strongly

influenced his aesthetic. His new photographic work has been shown widely.

Joachim Brohm

Ohio

Joachim Brohm was among the first of a younger generation of German photographers who discovered in color

photography a new medium of self-expression. At the end of the 1970s serious artistic photography was still

supposedly only made in black and white, despite major developments such as William Eggleston’s controversial 1976

show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Brohm’s Ohio photographs were made in 1983 and 1984 whilst he

was living in the state as a student and Fulbright scholar. His pictures show cluttered yards and houses and focus on

apparently trivial and banal scenes of everyday American life. At the time such mundane quotidien scenarios were

considered unworthy of a photograph. This, combined with his use of color photography, made the Ohio series a

significant experiment in search of a new pictorial language.

Joachim Brohm, born in 1955 in Dülken, is Professor of Photography at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. He had

solo-shows in 2007 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig and the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat in Bottrop.

Others shows have included the Westfälischer Kunstverein Münster in 2003 and Fotomuseum Winterthur in 2002. His

books include Ruhr, Areal and Kray (1995). Brohm’s work is included in major collections internationally.

Thomas Weski, born in Hanover in 1953, is chief curator at the Haus der Kunst in Munich where he has mounted,

among others, “Turning Back” works by Robert Adams, “Click Doubleclick–the documentary factor”, a major exhibition

on Andreas Gursky, and “PARRWORLD”, a presentation of Martin Parr’s various collections. Weski is working with

co-curator Elisabeth Sussman on a retrospective of William Eggleston for the Whitney Museum of American Art in New

York for the fall of 2009.

Map of Babylon The Thirty-Two Inch Ruler

John Gossage, the renowned American photographer and photography book-maker, presents two companion volumes and

his first ever books in color. Engaged in a dance, neither book comes first, there is no hierarchy or sequence to

the pair of volumes.

Gossage is one of the most literary of photographic book authors and in The Thirty-Two Inch Ruler, the narrative, whilst not

autobiographical, is about a neighborhood in which he lives; one that is singular in the United States. At the same time

provincial and international, it is a neighborhood populated by ambassadorial residences, embassies, and the lavish private

homes of those who are in positions of power and influence in Washington. A project he began with the arrival of a new

neighbor, the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and made over a full year’s cycle of seasons, these are images from

the drift of privilege. The streets, cars, homes and yards of this neighborhood are photographed on perfect spring or

autumn days, with sparklingly clear blue skies, and flowers or foliage accenting the order. These are photographs about how

one might wish the world to be, how beauty might be seen as desire. In the same year Gossage made the Map of

Babylon, photographing digitally from Washington, to Germany, to China and places in-between. This look away, to places

beyond the immediate and local, is a classic exploration of particulars of the outside world.

John Gossage, born New York 1946, now residing in Washington, DC, has always been a photographer. Studying

briefly with Lisette Model and Alexey Brodovitch in 1960 to 1961. In the late 1960’s he learned Telecaster guitar from

Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton, later giving up professional music in 1973 and returning to photography. Showing

from 1974 through 1990 with Leo Castelli Gallery in New York. Then from 1990 on concentrating almost exclusively

upon publications. Producing 17 different books and boxes on specific bodies of photographic work. This is his first book

with Steidl, as well as his first book with color photographs.

Gerhard Steidl, born 1960 or so, just to the left of Göttingen, Germany to a family of wealthy sheep herders. After an

early career as a jazz pianist he matured into his current occupation. This may be his first essay under his own name.

He is nevertheless very famous.

Jock Sturges

Life Time

Long known for his radiant black and white naturist portraiture, Jock Sturges has also been quietly working in color for

more than two decades. Life Time presents a broad range of this color work for the first time and carries forward his

extended portraits of families in Northern California counter-culture communities and on French naturist beaches.

Working with the same models and their families in his long-term studies of growth, change and relationship, his large

format images borrow significantly from classical periods in both photography and nineteenth and early twentieth

century painting.

The large color plates in Life Time represent almost perfect one to one translations of the original transparencies and

are rich with detail and physical and psychological nuance. Sturges describes his work as “identity driven” because his

portraits represent collaborations that stretch over entire life times. The confident ease with which all his subjects

present themselves to his camera is evidence of rare levels of trust and friendship.

Jock Sturges is a fine art photographer living in Seattle, Washington. His work is included in the collections of The

Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and The

Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art in Germany. His published works include The Last Day of Summer (1992),

Radiant Identities (1994), 25 Years (1994), Evolutions of Grace (1994), Jock Sturges (1996), Jock Sturges – New

Work 1996–2000 (2000), and Notes (2005).

Diana Michener

Sweethearts

“This work in another form was shown at The New York Film Festival in 1982. It still remains, for me, a study in

indecision. The Sweethearts are emblematic of that thing that can exist between couples, when one can not assume

the persona of the other.”

Adopting the form of a flip book, Sweethearts presents a sequence of film stills which segue through a series of

theatrical moments set on a domestic stage. The actors appear in banal moments of daily life and animated moments

of conflict to offer an intimate exploration of the vagaries of love and life.

Diana Michener was born in Boston in April 1940. She studied at the New School in New York City with Lisette Model

and at a workshop in Yosemite with Ansel Adams. In 2001 the Maison Europèenne de la Photographie exhibited a large

survey exhibition of her work entitled “Silence Me”. A catalogue of the same name accompanied the exhibition. Michener

lives and works in Paris and New York, and is represented by Pace/MacGill, New York. In 2005 Steidl published her

award winning book Dogs, Fires, Me.

Jeanloup Sieff

Les Indiscrètes

Unpublished Photographs by Jeanloup Sieff

Jeanloup Sieff was the complete photographer. He was gifted in every arena of the medium: fashion and advertising,

nude, reportage, portraits and landscape. Sieff claimed to be “superficial and droll,” without ever being very

convincing, and left a rich collection of works created from the 1950s until the turn of the 21st century before his

demise. He was a prodigiously productive artist and was often overtaken by the speed of the medium and his own

success, normally short of the necessary time to delve into his archive. Hence many of the works published in this book

have never been seen or previously published. With his characteristic sense of humour and light-hearted approach he

wrote: “my pictures are little black and white pebbles that I dropped on my way to adulthood, meant for leading me

back to my adolescence.”

Jeanloup Sieff was born in 1933 in Paris. His parents were of Polish origin. He died on September 20, 2000 from

cancer. As a fashion photographer, he worked for magazines such as Nova, Elle, Vogue, Twen, Jardin des Modes,

Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Glamour etc. As for advertising photography, one owes him credit for the picture of a naked

Yves Saint Laurent publicising his eau de toilette and for the memorable campaigns for Rosy lingerie, or Carel shoes.

He is the author of several books from J’aime la danse (1962) to Faites comme si je n’étais pas là (2000).

Juergen Teller

Marc Jacobs: Advertising 1997-2008

Volume 1

For over a decade Juergen Teller has worked with Marc Jacobs on the advertising campaigns for each of the Men’s and

Woman’s Marc Jacobs collections, Marc by Marc Accessories and perfumes lines. Teller’s idiosyncratic visual style and

use of unusual models has been instrumental in establishing what has become one of the pre-eminent

fashion brands of our times. Reflecting the intelligence and individuality of the Marc Jacobs’ brand, the models have

included Sofia Coppola, Charlotte Rampling, Meg White, Kim Gordan and Thursten Moore, Michael Stipe, Rufus

Wainwright, Harmony Korine, Cindy Sherman, William Eggleston, Samantha Morton, Winona Ryder, Roni Horn, Victo-

ria Beckham and Juergen Teller himself among others…

This book brings together a selection of images from all the campaigns into a collection that marks how significant this

collaboration has been in both fashion and visual culture.

Photographer Juergen Teller was born in Erlangen, Germany in 1964. He studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt

für Photographie in Munich, Germany. He has lived and worked in London since 1986. Teller’s work in books,

magazines and exhibitions is marked by his refusal to separate the commercial fashion pictures and his most

auto-biographical un-commissioned work. His work has been published in influential international publications such as

W Magazine, I-D and Purple and has been the subject of solo exhibitions including the Photographers Gallery in

London, the Kunsthalle Wien and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain in Paris. In 2003 Teller was

awarded the Citibank Prize and last year he was asked to represent the Ukraine as one of five artists in the 52nd Venice

Biennale. He has also participated in group shows at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Tate Modern in

London. Teller has produced numerous monographs, his most recent being Nürnberg and Vivienne Westwood.

Marc Jacobs was born in New York City on April 9, 1963. Jacobs graduated from Parson’s School of Design in 1984

with some of the school’s highest honors including design student of the year. In 1986 Jacobs designed his first

collection under the Marc Jacobs label and in 1997 signed with Louis Vuitton as the Artistic Director. Marc Jacobs

International, LLC has expanded to include more than 50 stores worldwide. Jacobs splits his time between

New York and Paris.

Vivienne Westwood

This book brings together images from the Spring Summer 2008 Vivienne Westwood campaign. In his usual

style, Juergen Teller photographed the collection by creating a highly theatrical mis-en-scène which involved the

collaboration of not only the models but also the designer herself.

Francis Bacon

Incunabula

“You can see an advertisement, you can see something lying in the street. Anything can stimulate and excite you into

wanting to do something. It doesn’t have to be a great or remarkable thing; it could be just lying on the floor.”

Francis Bacon

In 1949 Francis Bacon found his subject – the human body – and it remained his principal theme for the rest of his life.

His paintings emerged from a dialogue between great art of the past and photographic imagery of the present: and as

a painter of the transient, his work also shared the pulse and flicker of his other significant inspiration, early cinema.

But Bacon did not paint from life. Instead he appropriated images from the mass media which he manipulated into his

‘studies’. Incunabula will present over two hundred of the ‘working documents’ about which he was entirely

secretive but which, it emerges, were integral to his creative process. Previously unseen, these visually thrilling

documents demonstrate Bacon’s tactile, visceral relationship with his sources, and his unerring eye for seeking out

visual stimulation in the most unexpected places. Folded, clipped and spattered with paint, his revisions of the base

material transformed mundane matter into new images which transcend their original function. While the main appeal

of this book will lie on its unique selection of graphically compelling images, their relationship with Bacon’s paintings

will also be fully documented in an appendix.

Francis Bacon (1909-1992) is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century. His

paintings of the 1940s bore witness to the shattered psychology of the time and shot him to a prominence that

hardly diminished over nearly fifty years. Recent record auction sales have confirmed his works as some of the most

sought after pieces in the modern era.

Published to coincide with a major retrospective at Tate, London in September 2008, which will tour to the Prado in

Madrid and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Timm Rautert

Josef Sudek, Prag 1967

“In our case photography is still waiting for interest to build. I’m thinking of interest in photography as works of fine art

that you might buy and hang in your home. We expect to get that far eventually – in some places it has already begun.”

Josef Sudek, 1963

Josef Sudek (1896–1976) spent nearly his entire life in Prague, where he created a body of work of extraordinary

complexity. Recognized as one of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century, Sudek was also a cult

figure in his homeland. Timm Rautert visited the Sudek in the spring of 1967 shortly after he had begun studying

photography as a young man, compelled by his fascination with Sudek’s work. Rautert accompanied Sudek as he

photographed the gardens in Little Prague on the left bank of the Moldau and met him in the darkroom and at his home.

He came to know Sudek as a quiet man who lived modestly, sometimes happily spending the day with only bread and

onions.

Timm Rautert, born in Tuchel, West Prussia in 1941, studied under Otto Steinert at the Folkwangschule für Gestaltung

(Folkwang School of Design) in Essen. From 1993 to 2007 he was professor of photography at the Hochschule für

Grafik und Buchkunst (Academy of Visual Arts) in Leipzig. He has published several books, the most recent of which

– Arbeiten, Deutsche in Uniform and Wenn wir dich nicht sehen, siehst du uns auch nicht – were published by Steidl.

Timm Rautert, winner of the 2008 Lovis Corinth prize, lives in Essen and Leipzig.

Daniel Blaufuks

Terezín

Theresienstadt or Terezín in the Czech Republic is a fortified town sixty kilometres to the north of Prague. At the

Wannsee Conference in January 1942, the Germans chose Theresienstadt as a “Model Ghetto” for Jews over 65 years

old, Jewish veterans from the First World War, and known personalities. The Nazis declared the camp a “ghetto under

Jewish authority”, appointing a council of elders with a chairman, but under the authority of the SS. In reality the camp

was just another staging post on the way to Auschwitz or Birkenau. Due to the presence of numerous interned

professors, artists and writers, there were school and cultural activities, such as lectures and concerts. During the life

of the ghetto, over two thousand four hundred lectures took place on such varied topics as the Jews of Babylon, the

theory of relativity, Alexander the Great and German humour. There was a functioning library with 49,000 books that

had been brought from various collections and homes in Germany and different groups performed theatre. There

was even a police force, a fire brigade and several other civic services. One prisoner wrote, “Life could seem almost

normal here”. Terezín is Daniel Blaufuks’ personal travel and research book on the history of the Nazi concentration

camp of Theresienstadt.

Daniel Blaufuks has been working on the relation between photography and literature, since My Tangier, with the writer

Paul Bowles. His Collected Short Stories includes several photographic diptychs in a kind of “snapshot prose,” where

visual fragments suggest private stories on their way to becoming public. The relation between public and private has

been one of the constant interrogations in his work. He has been showing widely and works mainly in photography and

video, presenting his work through books, installations and films. His documentary Under Strange Skies was shown at

the Lincoln Center in New York. Recent exhibitions include: Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Palazzo delle

Papesse, Siena, LisboaPhoto, Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisbon, Elga Wimmer Gallery, New York, Photoespaña, Madrid,

where his book Under Strange Skies received the award for Best Photography Book of the Year in the International

Category in 2007. In the same year he received the BES Photo Award for the work Terezín.

Sean Scully

Glorious Dust

“Pastel involves rubbing friable chalk over toothed paper, which in its nature confers a certain sparkling luminosity to the

forms, and it is responsive to differences in pressure. The principle of pastel, Scully once told me, is that of putting on

makeup. Scully’s historical importance lies in the way he has brought the greatest achievements of Abstract

Expressionist painting into the contemporary moment.” Arthur C. Danto

Sean Scully uses pastels to create abstract works which are an emotive response to color. This book brings together

100 of his pastels in all their subtle and ecstatic celebration of the possibilities of color.

Since 1993 Arthur Danto has written four texts about Sean Scully’s work. They are brought together for the first time in a

volume which traces the history and development of this major artist in the writings of one of America’s leading art critics.

Sean Scully was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1945. He started life as an immigrant as he moved to London with his parents,

where he grew up and was educated in the English arts school system. Moving to New York in 1975, he nowadays

maintains studios in New York, Barcelona and Munich, where he is Professor for Painting at the Akademie der

Bildenden Künste. His paintings, drawings and more recently his photographs, have been shown in most of the major

museums around the world. Steidl recently published The Color of Time.

Arthur C. Danto, born in 1924, studied art and history at Wayne University and then at Columbia University. After

studying in Paris for a year, he returned to teach at Columbia, where he is currently Johnsonian Professor of Philosophy.

Since 1984, he has been art critic for The Nation, and in addition to his many books on philosophical subjects, he has

published several collections of art criticism, most recently, The Madonna of the Future: Essays in a Pluralistic Art

World. In 1986 Steidl published his book on Sartre in German. He lives in New York City.

Michael Ruetz

Eye on Infinity

For more than 20 years Michael Ruetz photographed one landscape scene, a peaceful panorama of a mountain range,

from the same point of view. In spring in the clearest sunlight and during thunderstorms under darkening clouds, at

the cusp of a New Year and on quiet clear, starry nights, at twilight in murky fog, this apparently never-changing

landscape has many faces. Ruetz’s patient observation and focus on unchanging repetition reveals the singularity of the

photographic moment. Eye on Infinity lets the eye linger without end.

Michael Ruetz, born in Berlin in 1940, completed his studies in Sinology and then turned to photography. He spent 13

years abroad and, until 2005, he was a professor for Communication Design at the Braunschweig University of Art

(Hochschule für Bildende Künste). He has been awarded the Otto Steinert Prize, the Villa Massimo Prize, and the

‘Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ in Paris. Ruetz is a member of the Academy of the Arts, Berlin. Steidl has published

his books Sichtbare Zeit, Das Willy-Brandt-Haus, Bibliothek der Augen, Cosmos, WindAuge, Eye on Time and

Die unbequeme Zeit.

Arnold Odermatt

Off Duty

Does any family not have family photos? Every other picture taken is a family photograph and most are glanced at

quickly and just as quickly wiped from memory. In this sea of sameness, Arnold Odermatt’s family photos bear his

signature style, standing out for their clarity and order and the detached demeanor of his subjects. Arnold Odermatt,

police officer and photographer, achieved fame with his photographic journal of car accidents, Karambolage. His last

book, On Duty, documented the small police corps with which he worked for many years, effectively advertising their

skills and services. In this book, Off Duty, he shows life after the officer has parked his cruiser in the garage, turned off

the scanner and hung his uniform in the closet. Showered and clad in fresh shirts and clean blouses, the photographer’s

spouse, son and daughter wait in the living room or garden for their close-ups. Sometimes they wait patiently and at

other times they are annoyed – not very different from the reactions of colleagues on duty, who also learned that a good

photograph takes time. Odermatt created an impressive document of life within a small village, where the police officer

off-duty was not exactly private but civilian.

Arnold Odermatt, born in Oberdorf, in the canton of Nidwalden in 1925, joined the police in 1948 and went into

retirement in 1990 as first lieutenant, head of the traffic police and vice commandant of the Nidwalden Police

Department. His photographs were displayed at the 49th Biennale Venice in 2001, in a solo exhibition at the Art

Institute of Chicago in 2002 and in the Winterthur Fotomuseum in 2004. His books Karambolage and On Duty were

published by Steidl.

Urs Odermatt, born in Stans in 1955, studied film directing and screenwriting under Krzysztof Kieslowski and works as

a film and theater director. Since 1993 he has worked on books of his father’s photographs.

Arnold Odermatt

On Duty

Police officer and photographer Arnold Odermatt became famous in his retirement on the publication of Karambolage,

his photographic journal about the traffic accidents that were part of his professional life in the Swiss canton of

Nidwalden. The small police force in the Nidwalden communities was worried about who could take over its work

because the village youth did not see themselves wearing uniforms and walking the beat. On Duty brings together the

photographs which were Odermatt’s attempt to disabuse them of their misconceptions. He sent his colleagues to the

barber shop and theatrically recreated the adventure in their daily routines. On Duty is a compelling sequence of

colourful tableaux and an impressive document and insight to a hidden world.

Arnold Odermatt, born in Oberdorf in the canton of Nidwalden in 1925, joined the police force in 1948 and retired as

lieutenant director of traffic police and vice commander of the Nidwalden Police Department in 1990. His photographs

were part of the 49th Biennale in Venice in 2001 and his one-man show was presented at the Art Institute of Chicago in

2002 and in the Winterthur photo museum in 2004. Karambolage was published by Steidl.

Hans-Jörg Ruch

Historic Houses in Engadin

Architectural Interventions by Hans-Jörg Ruch

The Swiss architect Hans-Jörg Ruch has made a international name for himself with his thrillingly designed buildings

and restorations. His specialty is the rebuilding of grand farmhouses and patrician homes in Engadin. Through Ruch’s

interventions, the original character of the Engadin houses re-emerge in the interplay between the built-up

surroundings and the countryside. Ten of Ruch’s interventions are presented in this book for the first time, lushly

illustrated with more than 200 large format photographs and plans. Supplementing the visuals is a personal text by

Ruch in which he outlines his philosophy, explains his approach to individual projects and presents the construction

materials as they are revealed in his reconstructions. The large color photographs convey the state of these special

buildings after renovation, the commingling of old and new. Shot from varied perspectives, the pictures impart a

three-dimensional impression of the rooms. The picture material is complemented by an essay from art historian

Ludmila Seifert-Uherkovich, proficient in the history and typology of the houses in Engadine.

Hans-Jörg Ruch, born in 1946, has directed his own architectural firm in St. Moritz since 1989 and has made an

international reputation with his many new constructions and reconstructions.

Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power

Richard Avedon photographed the faces of politics throughout his career and this book brings together his political

portraits for the first time. Juxtaposing images of elite government, media, and labor officials with photographs of counter-

cultural activists, writers and artists, and ordinary citizens caught up in national debates, it explores a five-decade

taxonomy of politics and power by one of America’s best-known artists.

The book features Avedon’s extended projects on the civil rights debate in the early 1960s (published in 1964 in

Nothing Personal); the American anti-war movement and the war in Vietnam from 1969-1971; portraits of the

American power elite in 1976 for his groundbreaking Rolling Stone portfolio The Family; “Exiles: The Kennedy Court

at the End of the American Century,” a retrospective homage to the Camelot generation, published in The New Yorker

in 1993; and his final photo-essay, “Democracy,” surveying the American state of mind during the politically-fractious

time prior to the country’s 2004 presidential election (published posthumously in The New Yorker in 2004).

Richard Avedon, 1923-2004, was the most eminent fashion photographer and portraitist in America throughout a six-

decade career. After serving as a Merchant Marine in World War II, he worked for Harper’s Bazaar and Theater Arts

and began a fruitful apprenticeship with legendary editor, designer, and artist Alexey Brodovitch. Avedon invigorated the

staid fashion photography of the time, staging fictional tableaux and developing an unprecedented theatrical style. His

penetrating portraits were equally revolutionary; isolating his subjects against studio backdrops, he developed a style

characterized by consistent poses and sharply focused detail. Moving to Vogue magazine in 1966 and The New Yorker

in the 1993, Avedon continued to innovate through advertisements, fashion spreads and editorial portraiture.

Extraordinarily prolific throughout his career, he produced many books, among them Observations (1959),

Nothing Personal (1964), Portraits (1976), An Autobiography (1993), and The Sixties (1999). His exhibitions were

some of the mostly highly attended and acclaimed shows of the late twentieth century.

exhibition is organized with the cooperation of The Richard Avedon Foundation, New York, and Fraenkel Gallery,

Glamour of the Gods

Glamour of the Gods is a survey of Hollywood portraiture from the industry’s golden age, the period from 1920 to

1960. All the photographs are drawn from the extraordinary archive of the John Kobal Foundation in London. John Kobal

was the last century’s pre-eminent authority on Hollywood photography and was the first collector and later author who

systematically sought to understand photography’s important role in creating and marketing the great stars central to

the Hollywood mystique. Garbo, Dietrich, Cooper and Bogart are among the famous faces featured and in many cases

these are the career defining images of their era. Most of the reproductions are from the archive’s original vintage prints.

Film historian Robert Dance has written about John Kobal’s important place in Hollywood history and offers a lucid

overview of the still and portrait photographer’s place in the Hollywood studio system. Critic and historian John Russell

Taylor’s introduction draws from his memory of many years of friendship with Kobal.

Robert Dance is co-author of Ruth Harriet Louise and Hollywood Glamour Photography (2002, California) and Garbo:

Portraits from her Private Collection (2005, Rizzoli). He has also written many articles on early Hollywood

history and lectured widely.

John Russell Taylor has worked at The Times (London) for most of his writing life, as, successively, Television Critic,

Drama Critic, Film Critic, American Cultural Correspondent and, for the last thirty years, Art Critic. During his American

years he was Professor in the Cinema Division of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He has lectured

and broadcast extensively, edited Films and Filming magazine, and written some sixty books on subjects of film,

theatre, art and cultural history, including Hitch, the authorised biography of Alfred Hitchcock; Strangers in

Paradise: The Hollywood Emigres 1933-1950; The Hollywood Musical; and biographies of Alec Guinness,

Orson Welles, Vivien Leigh and Ingrid Bergman, among others.

Jerry Berndt

Insites

Over a four decade career Jerry Berndt has created a remarkable body of work which straddles the usual divide between

spontaneous documentary photography and conceptual artworks. He works with single images, sequences and series,

almost exclusively in black-and-white. Berndt first achieved public acclaim with his work Combat Zone (1967–1970),

which documented life in Boston’s red-light district. In Nite Works at the beginning of the 1970s, Berndt set

commercial iconography of the day-to-day world against the psychology of nocturnal moods in a series of night views

of American and European cities. With his series on the anti-Vietnam War movement and on homelessness in America

in the early 1980s, he put his finger on the unsolved conflicts of his country. This book focuses on Berndt’s work from

the 1960s to the 1980s.

Jerry Berndt was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1943. As a photojournalist, he has worked in Haiti, El Salvador,

Guatemala, Rwanda and Armenia and his work has been published in The New York Times, Newsweek and Paris

Match. Berndt is an instructor at the Art Institute in Boston and at the University of Massachusetts. He received an

award from the National Endowment for the Arts and grants from the University of California. Berndt’s photographs are

represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the

Bibliothèque National in Paris. He lives in Paris.

Judith Joy Ross

Living with War – Portraits

In Judith Joy Ross’ photographs the person is caught in his time and historic dimension. Living With War contains three

groups of portraits of American citizens in relation to USA war missions during the past 30 years. The most recent pic-

tures present people who demonstrated in 2006/07 against USA involvement in the war in Iraq. They are accompanied

by shots made more than 15 years earlier of soldiers who were photographed shortly before their initial deployment in

the first Gulf war. The third series is from 1983/84 at the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Washington. It shows individ-

ual portraits of visitors paying tribute to the victims of war in Southeast Asia. These close shots do not take sides with

any particular political orientation. They simply tell how irreplaceable the individual is and how keeping his memory

serves as the basis of human interaction.

Judith Joy Ross, born in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, in 1946, studied photography at the Chicago Art Institute. She has

received several awards and prizes, including the Charles Pratt Memorial Award, an Artist Fellowship from the National

Endowment for the Arts and a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Ms. Ross lives in Bethlehem,

Pennsylvania.

Ray K. Metzker

Light Lines

This book presents a complete retrospective of the work of Ray K. Metzker, one of the most important and original

American photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. With more than 200 high-quality reproductions it

features all aspects of his prolific career over more than fifty years – a career which still shows no sign of abating. This

survey encompasses the full range of Metzker’s brilliant, constantly evolving, formal language. Although Metzker has

photographed in Europe on several occasions, he has never felt the need to travel to particularly exotic climes for

inspiration. He finds it readily at hand in the neighbourhoods where he has lived – principally Chicago and Philadelphia

– and increasingly in the domain of nature, though the vegetation he depicts in such original form ranges from a

weed-clogged vacant city lot to the vast open plains of the American West.

Educated between 1956 and 1959 at the Institute of Design, Chicago earlier known as the New Bauhaus, Metzker

inherited the rich vocabulary of approaches and ideas which had defined avant-garde photography between the wars:

photomontage, solarisation, multiple printing of negatives, unique perspectives, diagonals, etc. From his first exposure

to photography, Metzker never lost his urge to experiment with the grammar and syntax of the medium, whether it was

games played within the camera itself (his Doubleframes, for example), or complex manipulations in the darkroom (his

celebrated Composites). Decomposing, recomposing, deconstructing, reconstructing – Metzker reminds us of the

great and inexhaustible potential of black-and-white imagery – as practiced by a master.

Maria Sewcz

inter esse

Berlin 1985-87

As a young photographer Maria Sewcz created a series of radical photographs of Berlin’s east side. The Reichstag,

Rathaus, Alexanderplatz, Thälmann Memorial and the border with the west marked the limits of her urban topography.

Made from 1985 to 1987, these bold images capture a cold and irreconcilable rage with the status quo at this period

of transition. inter esse is a Berlin tale in which recent German history finds expression. Expressed in dynamic move-

ments through constant changes of perspective, the story has no interest in subordinating one individual’s perception

to so-called “historical necessities”.

Maria Sewcz, born in 1960 and raised in Northern Germany, submitted the portfolio inter esse as her thesis at the

Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig in 1987.

Jan Jedlicka

Il Cerchio / The Circle

Maremma 2005-2006

Since 1980 Jan Jedlicka has been traveling regularly to Maremma, a region in southwestern Tuscany, where he works

on a long-term project in which sketches, pigment works, photography, prints, film and video all play a role. This

photographic work was created over the course of a year during which Jedlicka returned every other month to the

countryside with his Hasselblad Super Wide to create a series of 150 black-and-white photographs. These images form

a closed circle and map the changes wrought by time.

Jan Jedlicka, born in Prague in 1944, studied at the Academy of Arts in Prague city. His solo exhibitions include

National Gallery Prague, Kunstverein Freiburg, Prager Burg, The University of Brighton Gallery, Museo Cantonale d’arte

Lugano, Josef Albers Museum Bottrop, Centro d’arte moderna e contemporanea La Spezia, Moravian Gallery Brno.

He lives in Zürich.

Photograph America

Henri Cartier-Bresson / Walker Evans

“If it had not been for the challenge of the work of Walker Evans, I don’t think I would have remained a photographer.”

Henri Cartier-Bresson, 2001

Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson belong to the same generation and shared an insatiable intellectual

curiosity. Their works had been exhibited together in 1935 at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York and they shared a

period working in America when Cartier-Bresson spent 18 months between 1946 and 1947 preparing his show at the

Museum of Modern Art. To make a living Cartier-Bresson worked for magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, but he soon

decided to work on a long-term project with a writer and to publish a book that was never realised. Walker Evans had

already published American Photographs in 1938, Let us Now Praise Famous Men, with James Agee, in 1941 and was

working on Many Are Called, which would only be published in 1966. This book draws a parallel between the work

about America made by Evans and Cartier-Bresson in the period from 1930 to 1947. As John Szarkowski argued, “Evans

defined in his work the essence of the documentary aesthetic.” Cartier-Bresson, on the other hand, was making a fresh

start, leaving behind his work in moving imagery and fully embracing a career as a stills photographer. But they were both

approaching their work as a form of social criticism, imbued with references to literature and painting. Their photographs

were distinctly different though: the frontality and the distance of Evans towards his own country, compared to the French-

man’s diagonals centred on the human being, who was exploring a territory that was still new to him.

Walker Evans (1903-1975) discovered photography in Paris in the late 1920s when he wanted to become a writer.

When he returned to America he became one of the prominent members of the Farm Security Administration in the

1930s. In 1938, his book American Photographs was published and became a cult classic. Later, Evans worked for

magazines (The Times and Fortune) and taught photography at Yale.

Henri Cartier-Bresson’s (1908-2004) first passion was painting. He started taking photographs in the late 1920s, turned

to cinematography in the 1930s and then back to still photography in the 1940s. In 1947 he created Magnum Photos

with Robert Capa, David Seymour and George Rodger. In the 1970s he decided to go back to painting.

In 2002, he established the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris.

DarkSide

Vol. 1: Photographic Desire and Photographed Sexuality

Photography is present in all the pubic and private areas of our lives. It is also found in seclusion, where it is “dark”, where

we shut ourselves off from society or where an act excludes society. Sexuality – as eroticism, desire, fantasy and fetish

– is one of the central drives of man’s thoughts, actions and feelings. Frequently though, sexuality is minimized,

considered to be nothing more than lustful entertainment or dismal deviation. Darkside shows photography as an

important medium in the presentation of sexuality. Photography stylizes lust and passion, power, violence and voyeurism.

Wish and desire enter into a pact with sexuality: sexual fantasies push to be presented, seek exposure – and photo-

graphy, with its own voyeuristic pull, uses the power of (photo) eroticism for its own purposes. Darkside presents this

photography and discusses it in numerous essays.

Volume 2 will be published in 2009. It is devoted to the photography of violence and disesase, those other central

powers that can influence body and soul.

Leo Rubinfien

Wounded Cities

One week before September 11, 2001, Leo Rubinfien, his wife and small children moved into a new apartment next door

to the World Trade Center in New York. They witnessed the violence of that day close up, fled with the crowds of evac-

uees, and later returned to a damaged home and a city whose wounds remained open for years. The physical destruc-

tion in Manhattan was obvious to everyone, but Rubinfien believed that the hidden, “mental wound” was the more

profound one, and in 2002 he began to photograph in cities around the world that had suffered severely, in

recent times, from terror attacks. Over five years he would visit locations that included London, Nairobi, Kuta Beach,

Moscow, Buenos Aires, Istanbul and Colombo, looking intimately at the ordinary people of those cities, and

searching their faces to see how the anxious air of the terror era touched and shaped the spirit.

Wounded Cities combines eighty-four intensely evocative photographs from this project with a memoir in which

Rubinfien poignantly explores the anguish and the political passions of the period that began with September 11. Its

unusual page design weaves word and image into one of the most original hybrid books photography has produced,

and one of the fundamental works of art to emerge from the attacks of 2001.

Leo Rubinfien’s first book of photographs, A Map of the East, appeared as a one-man exhibition at the Metropolitan

Museum of Art and has been called “one of the legendary works on Asia” (Donald Richie). His work is in the

permanent collections of major museums in America, Europe and Japan and has been exhibited around the world, while

his essays on photographers of the 20th century are among the essential writings on photography. He was recently

Guest Curator of Shomei Tomatsu’s 2004-2007 retrospective, and co-author of the accompanying book,

Skin of the Nation.

Projektionen

Super-8 Films and Videos 1975-2008

Projektionen brings together frames from all of the Super-8 and video films made by the Swiss artist Roman Signer. As

fractions of time, the stills mark key moments in Signer’s precisely choreographed work: moments of collapse, of

extreme acceleration and of temporary or prolonged hiatus, of transformation, of consolidation and dispersion. The

images convey Signer’s handling of time and space, movement and process, energy and energy conversion, chemistry

and physics, experimental play and nomological consequence, reality and potential, natural science and existential

philosophy. This book presents a cross-section of Signer’s work and contains a catalog raisonné of all his Super-8

films and videos.

Roman Signer, born in Appenzell in 1938, achieved international fame through his activities with explosive materials.

His work is primarily seen in public places. He has also shown his work in exhibitions at Kunsthaus Zürich,

Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Biennale Venice and in the Hauser & Wirth collection in St. Gallen, O.K. Centrum für

Gegenwartskunst in Linz, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin and the Rochester Art Center. He lives in St. Gallen.

Roman Signer

Street Pictures

The futility of all human endeavour is strikingly expressed in Roman Signer’s work. Since 1975 he has been creating

sculptures, installations, photo sequences and short Super 8 films, in which he engages with all sorts of ordinary

objects – a chair or a kaya, for example – which he drops, sinks or explodes with great precision. During these

counter-productive actions – he refers to them as Kurzzeitskulptur (Short time sculpture), Signer adopts a solemn

attitude, striking a pose of great seriousness. This has earnt him a moniker as the ‘Buster Keaton of art’.

In Street Pictures, Signer juxtaposes two striking, yet familiar images. They are photos of roadside monuments and

private stalls made by the artist on his many journeys, this time to the Ukraine.

Roman Signer, born 1938 in Appenzell, Switzerland; 1959-66 worked as an architectural draughtsman; 1966

Kunstgewerbeschule Zurich; 1969-71 Kunstgewerbeschule Luzern; from 1972 free-lance artist; from 1974 taught at

the Schule für Gestaltung, Luzern; work mainly in the field of action and performance often using explosives; lives and

works in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Signer’s “action sculptures” involve setting up, carrying out, and recording

“experiments” or events that bear aesthetic results. Following carefully planned and strictly executed and

documented procedures, the artist enacts and records such acts as explosions, collisions, and the projection of objects

through space. Video works like “Stiefel mit Rakete” (Boot with Rocket) are integral to Signer’s

performances, capturing the original setup of materials that self-destruct in the process of creating an emotionally and

visually compelling event. Signer gives a humorous twist to the concept of cause and effect and to the traditional

scientific method of experimentation and discovery, taking on the self-evidence of scientific logic as an artistic

challenge.

Man Ray & L. Fritz Gruber

Years of Friendship 1956-1976

One was a famous artist, the other an ardent collector of photography, a curator and author. Man Ray (1890-1976) and

L. Fritz Gruber (1908-2005) nurtured professional and personal contact for more than two decades. Gruber was

involved in projects such as Man Ray’s solo exhibition at photokina and the book Man Ray Portraits. From many years

working together and extensive knowledge of Man Ray’s work, Gruber and his wife Renate put together a multiform

collection that has become the basis of this book. In addition to Man Ray’s photographs, sculptural work and objects,

this book includes extensive correspondence, numerous monographs, catalogues and reviews. Against this backdrop

a personal picture emerges of Gruber’s commitment to the work of the American artist. This volume provides many new

insights, particularly into the artist’s last creative years.

Andrea Zittel

Gouaches and Illustrations

This book assembles for the first time a major selection of Andrea Zittel’s gouaches and paintings on wood, a medium

the artist has worked with since 1992. These colourful, picture-book-like works are sketches and illustrations which

seem to document the emergence of Zittel’s life plan in a fascinating mixture of the anonymous report and the diary.

Andrea Zittel was born in Escondido, California. In 1991 she settled in Brooklyn, New York. She founded her A-Z art

enterprise, a project which has provided the framework within which she has conducted her research and designed,

produced and tested her works ever since. In the second half of the 1990s, Zittel left New York repeatedly for

extended periods, during which she stayed in Europe and explored non-urban America on long trips. In 2000 she

purchased an abandoned home – a former so-called homestead cabin – and the associated property in Joshua Tree,

in the desert east of Los Angeles. Zittel called it A–Z West and has made it her new site for experiment. Since then she

has been living there and in Los Angeles.

Monika Sosnowska

Photographs and Sketches

Recent upheavals and rapid changes in Eastern Europe have clearly left their mark on Monika Sosnowska’s work. The

traces of bygone utopias and recent cultural fissures in cities like Warsaw have proven a fertile ground for material from

which the sculptor formulates her walk-in installations. The digital photographs and sketches included in this book are

a selection of her impressions, ideas and notes which have influenced her spatial compositions. It offers fascinating

insight into the way in which the artist perceives her surroundings and conveys that perception in her sculptures.

Monika Sosnowska, was born in Ryki, Poland, in 1972, and studied in Amsterdam at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende

Kunsten. Since then she has been living in Warsaw. Her work has been exhibited at major international institutions,

notably in the Polish pavilion at Biennale Venice in the summer of 2007.

John Duncan

Bonfires

John Duncan’s Bonfires documents a long-standing tradition of bonfire building by Protestant communities in Belfast,

Northern Ireland. The bonfires are built in preparation for annual 12th July celebrations, which commemorate the defeat

of James Stuart at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The imposing bonfire structures are a powerful provocation with

which Protestant identity is asserted and a sense of solidarity and continuity is re-affirmed.

Duncan’s photographs frame and measure the structures against their various social settings, revealing both a sense

of Belfast’s changing urban landscape and the deep divisions that, despite political progress, still affect Northern

Ireland long after the ceasefires. The bonfires have recently been challenged from a number of quarters: from within the

Protestant community for damage caused to property and surrounding areas; from developers who covet the waste land

they are built on; and from environmentalists who express concerns about the pollution they cause. Seen against this

backdrop of competing agendas, the bonfires come to express a form of resistance, and their building a kind of

raw ingenuity.

Duncan’s work dwells on the fact that each bonfire has a singular structure, an identity. They are sculptural and

architectural oddities with many resonances through history and art, from high-rise flats to military watchtowers and gun

emplacements, from the Empire State Building to the Tower of Babel.

John Duncan was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland 1968 where he currently lives. He studied Documentary

Photography at Newport, Wales and then Fine Art Photography at Glasgow School of Art. His work has been shown

in various solo and group exhibitions including: Imago (Centre of Photography, Salamanca, 1997; Stills Gallery,

Edinburgh, 1998), On the Bright Side of Life (Neue Gesellschaft fur bildende Kunst, Berlin 1998; Gallery of

Photography, Dublin, 2002; Belfast Exposed 2003), Photography Towards a Sculptural Impulse (Dazibao, Montréal,

2006; Gimpel Fils, London, 2006), East (Norwich Gallery, 2006), Loaded Landscapes (Museum of Contemporary

Photography, Chicago, 2007). Since 1994 he has co-edited Source photographic magazine.

Dryden Goodwin

Cast

Often grounded in an experience of the city, Dryden Goodwin wrestles with the continually changing nature of our

contact with the people around us, both the well known – family and friends – and the anonymous, the strangers we

pass on the street. His work marks an intense curiosity, a desire to know, and yet is always alive with ambiguities about

what the act of making work might reveal or obscure. His work suggests the tensions of a society where fear,

suspicion and the ever-present technologies of surveillance increasingly infect the atmosphere of public space.

Published to coincide with a major exhibition of Goodwin’s work at The Photographers’ Gallery, London, this book

brings together new work featured in this exhibition with earlier works to explore the rich dialogues between drawing,

photography and video that define Goodwin’s hybrid practice. Cast extends these enquiries and their various

collisions between drawing and photography and takes further Goodwin’s practice of drawing and scratching onto the

surface of the image, something at once intimate and invasive, a physical intervention that the artist also

characterizes as a way of ‘thinking into the photograph’ and into the stalled nature of photographic time.

Dryden Goodwin was born in 1971 in Bournemouth, England and studied at The Slade School of Fine Art, London,

where he now teaches. He has had numerous solo exhibitions and been a part of group shows including at National

Portrait Gallery, London, New Art Gallery, Walsall, Tate, London, Venice Biennale. Works in public collections include,

The Museum of Modern Art in New York, Arts Council of England, The British Library and Unilever.

Raghubir Singh / Dayanita Singh

The Home and the World

This book accompanies a travelling exhibition of the work of two well-known Indian photographers, Raghubir Singh

and Dayanita Singh.

Raghubir Singh’s photographs in The Home and the World focus on the Ambassador, the iconic car inherited from the

British. In these photographs, shot mostly in the last years of his life, the doors and windshield of the car

become the frame to the image. In some, black planes block out large parts of the image; the result is a series of

almost abstract photographs.

Dayanita Singh’s work is taken from two recent Steidl books. In Go Away Closer Singh considers opposites in

India: presence and absence, reality and dreams, tradition and progress. Such opposites are ultimately irreconcilable,

as embodied by the paradox of the book’s title. Singh embraces this uncertainty, and presents visual clues in her

photographs into which the viewer can read his or her own biography. Sent A Letter brings together seven of Singh’s

small photo journals of her travels in India over recent years. Each book was made with a certain person in mind, either

someone she has made the journey with or that was on her mind on her travels. The diaries are in accordion folds and

each opens into a mini private exhibition.

Raghubir Singh is considered a pioneer of color photography. In the 1970s he was one of the first photographers to

reinvent the use of color at a time when color photography was still a marginal art form. His photographs, acclaimed for

their organization of space, reflect the multiple aspects of contemporary India. In his early work Singh focused on the

geographic and social anatomy of cities and regions of India.

Dayanita Singh was born in New Delhi in 1961. She studied at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad and later

concentrated on photojournalism and documentary photography at the International Center of Photography in New

York. Her photographs have been exhibited many times, most recently in the National Gallery in the Hamburger Bahn-

hof, Berlin. Singh’s books include, Myself Mona Ahmed (2001), Privacy (2003), Chairs (2005), Go Away Closer

(2007), SENT A LETTER (2008). She lives in New Delhi.

Matthias Schaller

Controfacciata

Venice – a city of color, light and shadows. Matthias Schaller stumbled upon the architectural anomaly of the

controfacciata or counter-façade whilst exploring the magnificent Venetian palaces along the edges of the canals. These

spaces at the front of the first floor lie still, in semi-darkness. The walls glow in twilight, the faded grandeur of earlier

days discernible in the busts, furniture and paintings. From the end of the passage, light floods into the rooms, sapping

the blazing colors of the decor. Doors off the hallway lead to unknown rooms and silent histories.

Between 2004 and 2007 Schaller made a series of photographic studies of these hallways and corridors in the

quarter between Ponte di Rialto and Piazza San Marco. Applying a direct elevation perspective, his images highlight the

long hall that extends to the light-filled windows at the water’s edge. They present an original view of the city, imbued

with a haunting tension and the bittersweet paradox that is Venice.

Matthias Schaller, born in Dillingen in 1965. He has an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology and has studied at universities in

Göttingen, Hamburg and Siena. His work has been exhibited at the Goethe-Institut New York and at Biennale di

Architettura in Venice. He received the Ci Art Award in 2004. He lives in Venice and New York. Steidl has published

his previous books, The Mill and Purple Desks.

John Wood

On the Edge of Clear Meaning

“Historically, ‘purity’ is not a term that has often been applied to the work of John Wood. In photo-historical terms, Wood

is thought of as one of those renegades who went against ‘pure photography’ by incorporating drawing,

painting, collage, and every other technique he could get his hands on (not to mention explicit political content), into

his practice, thus ushering in the multi-media of the 1960s that caused a crisis in ‘straight photography.’ Long before

it became the signal medium of the avant-garde, collage was a folk art, practiced by children, lovers, and

grand-mothers. I suspect this is one of the reasons John Wood was initially attracted to it, just as he would later make

art out of whirligigs. Or photography, for that matter, that art before and after ‘art.’

“From the jaundiced perspective of our pluralistic present, those once furiously enforced and ferociously

defended divisions seem quaint. Now that those and most other boundaries have dissolved and digital imaging has

normalized ‘impurity’ and made the combination and alteration of different kinds of images commonplace, perhaps it’s

a good time to reconsider the life’s work of John Wood.”

From the introduction by David Levi Strauss

This book accompanies a major touring retrospective of John Wood’s work, encompassing the full range of his

productive career from the late-1950s to the present, in over 210 works. Essays include an assessment of John’s work

by David Levi Strauss, a complete biography and bibliography compiled by William Johnson, and an assessment of

Wood’s important role as an educator for over thirty years by Ezra Shales. A DVD includes footage of Wood’s

working, recent interviews and a page turning program to experience his book works in real time.

Photobooks need to have concept and intuition combined in the same

representation and have to be seen with the eye of the times. Images can

be metaphors too. It’s all about visual reading.

You need to understand the concept behind to obtain all the information

concerning the images and understand the display of the imaginative

invention of an eye. They can be experiences in illusions.

The difference between imagination and truth depends only on the quality

of the images. Photographs should have a rhythmic mobility and even a

monumentality independent from their actual size.

Looking at them can modify people’s sensibility and vision, and help them

to discover new horizons.

Wallace Stevens said talking about a great book of any kind:

“He breathed its oxygen,

Even when the book lay turned in the dust of his table.”

Another Fashion Book

Another Magazine, one of the most influential and groundbreaking magazines in the world today, presents the first in a

series of collectable books. Another Fashion Book rediscovers the photographic stories commissioned exclusively for

its fashion pages over the past 8 years. For the first time, Another Fashion Book brings together in one volume

extensive work by the most iconic names in fashion and art photography including Craig McDean, Nick Knight, Mario

Sorrenti, Inez & Vinoodh, Sam Taylor-Wood, Horst Diekgerdes, Stephen Shore, David Sims, Terry Richardson, Steven

Klein, Willy Vanderperre and Glen Luchford. Often blurring the boundary between art and fashion, the images are a

distinct record of photographic innovation during the start of this century. Through a highly-considered commissioning

process, Another Magazine and its community of photographers and stylists bridged the gap between the European

and American style-divide of the 90s, to evolve a new international fashion language that has in many ways come to

define the look of this decade. Creative director David James has recontextualised the archive, allowing an entirely new

appreciation of the work, focusing solely on the outstanding fashion photography. All the images selected for

publication have been specially reprinted for the book.

Another Portrait Book and Another Art Book will be published in seasonal succession after which the full series will be

available in a collectable box set. The Another Books series will be edited by Jefferson Hack, co-founder of Dazed

Group, which publishes Dazed & Confused, Another Magazine and Another Man.

Lou Reed

Romanticism

“I love photography. I love digital. I love digital. It’s what I’d always wished for. Being in the camera and experiencing

the astonishing accomplishment of the creations of life sparked through the beauty of the detailed startling power of

the glass lens. A new German lens brings a mist to me. The colors and light I come to see through the beauty of the

camera. A love that lasts forever is the love of the lens of sharpness – of spirit warmth and depth and feeling. It makes

my body pour emotion into the heartbeat of the world. A great trade and exchange. I think of the camera as my soul.

Much like a guitar. My lovely Alpa has rosewood grips. What more could you need?

Well – the pictures. “Romanticism” is exactly that: in Scotland, Denmark, Spain, Rome, China and Big Sur to name a few.

The landscape and architecture that I find so fascinating. The trees and the wind billowing and dancing in Edinburgh

reminding me of the storm I fell in love with in Cork. The perspectives and range of blacks and whites the perfect thing

for a film noir fan. The joy of putting together a book of the best I have to give you in our exchange of viewpoints. The

binding and the color and joy of working on this wondrous team again. I am very lucky to have access to what I see.”

Lou Reed was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and is a founding member of the legendary Velvet

Underground. He has acted in and composed music for a number of films and is the recipient of the Chevalier

Commander of Arts and Letters from the French Government. He is the author of Pass thru Fire and the play The Raven.

Lou Reed’s Romanticism is his third photo book after Emotion in Action and Lou Reed’s New York which was also

published by Edition 7L. Lou Reed lives in New York City.

Sébastien Meunier

Visual Pollution

Sébastien Meunier’s photographs plunge the viewer into a disturbing world. Against a backdrop of life and death, he

invokes a bizarre cast of characters, animals, objects and symbols to create an emotional mis-en-scene akin to the

scenes of a film which becomes engraved on our unconscious. His obsessions are also revealed in the outstanding

precision of his work, each photograph evidencing meticulous techical skill. This book reveals the vivid universe

Sébastien Meunier has left behind.

Sébastien Meunier was born in Nancy, France, on February 14, 1970. His teenage years divided between Paris and

Salon-de-Provence, where he made himself familiar, from an early age, with photography. In 1990, he graduated in that

field from the Ecole des Gobelins (film and visual media school) in Paris. As a self-taught photographer, he quickly

contributed to magazines such as Wad, Marie-Claire, Dépêche Mode, Trax, and New York-based Trace. Concurrently,

he shot a great deal of advertising campaigns on behalf of well-known agencies (Publicis Conseil, Betc Euro Rscg, Ddb

Paris, Bddp & Fils). He was the recipient of many awards, such as the Stratégies Grand Prix (RATP campaign), the

Bronze Lion in Cannes (Giraudy) and numerous other prizes given by the Paris Artistic Directors association. He

suddenly departed this world in May 2002, on a road in Namibia, where he was producing a series of personal artwork.

Patrick Swirc

On Her Road

It was in Paris, the day before I left. A first kiss, the first day of April, the taste of her lips and words close to my

mouth: “see you soon, somewhere in China.” She is Sephardic, lives in China and is studying the traces of the

country’s Jewish past. I am half-Jewish through my father and half-catholic through my mother.

When asked if my name was Jewish I always answered: “No, why?” Yet, deep inside, I feel Jewish. A few weeks after

that first kiss, I travelled to Kirghizstan as planned. West China was only a few hours away by bus. Using phone text

messages, she guided me around China, sometimes through sinister cities, one of which Jews had inhabited during

the 12th century. It is on her road that I would reconnect with my origins. It is with her and a Loubavitch rabbi I would

celebrate the shabbat in Peking. The more I move forward, the more I was afraid to look at myself in her eyes.

Patrick Swirc is a photographer, born in Saint-Etienne. He studied at the Vevey School of Photography, in Switzerland,

but left to follow a striptease artist to Pigalle in Paris. He developed as a portrait photographer and now photographs

both anonymous people and celebrities for the biggest newspapers and journals, including Libération, Elle, Télérama,

Studio, Time Magazine.

Collier Schorr

Blumen

Collier Schorr has been working in Southern Germany for the past 13 years, compiling a documentary and fictional

potrait of a small town inhabited by historical apparitions. For Schorr, the German landscape is a map of her own

history, both imagined and inherited. Combining the overlapping roles of war photographer, traveling portraitist,

anthrpologist and family historian, the series Forest and Fields (Wald und Wiesen) tells the interwoven stories of a

place and time determined by memory, nationalism, war, emigration and family.

Blumen is the second volume of Forest and Fields and moves away from the figure. Schorr decided instead to look for

or build arrangements in the landscapes and domestic and commercial settings of her much investigated town. If peo-

ple appear in Blumen, they are merely props in an examination of how objects and nature create dialogues

within the communities they encompass. Flowers are uprooted so as to become performers in the landscape;

signage, plums, chairs and a plaster fawn are some of the shapes of things moved and combined to further detail the

daily life of the townspeople of Schwabish Gmund.

Forest and Fields is intrinsically about book making, an ongoing suite of artist’s books that utilizes traditional notions of

category to create different points of view. Each volume is part diary, photo annual, palimpsest, and scrapbook, and in-

volves a process which constantly expands and contradicts the artist’s oeuvre through re-edits of the work to

create new views through the material. The final volume will be text based, a collection of commissioned and

re-published writings inspired by the ideas explored in the pictures. A boxed, numbered and signed special edition of

the complete set of the Forest and Fields series will be available once the project has been completed.

Collier Schorr, born in New York in 1963, has exhibited her work internationally at prestigious venues that include the

Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Jewish Museum in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in

Amsterdam, the 2002 Whitney Biennial, the 2003 International Center for Photography Triennial. She has also had

solo exhibitions at the Consorcio Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain, Badischer Kunstverein, Germany, Le Consortium,

Dijon, France and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver. Her books Jens F., Neighbors and There I Was have all

been published by SteidlMack. Schorr is represented by 303 Gallery, NYC, and Stuart Shave/Modern Art in London,

and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Ad Van Denderen

So Blue, So Blue

According to the ‘Plan Bleu’ sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme, in the next 20 years around

205 million holiday or second homes will be built to accommodate 350 million tourists annually along the coasts of

Turkey and Spain alone. This influx of tourism and the return of ‘westernised’ immigrants fuels religious and political

radicalization. At the same time it is the fulcrum of major economic changes and ecological pressures.

The starting point of So Blue, So Blue was in 2001 when Van Denderen photographed a group of a hundred illegal

immigrants landing on a beach in the south of Spain in rubber boats. Soaked to the skin, they ran off in the early

morning light. Three hours later tourists appeared on the same beach, spreading out their towels to enjoy another sunny

day. Realising that the region is riven with these inconsistencies, he has spent the past 5 years photographing in every

country that borders the Mediterranean Sea. So Blue, So Blue is his personal attempt to make sense of the immense

economic, political, socio-religious and ecological changes taking place around the open space that Europe, Asia and

Africa have contested and shared for centuries.

Ad Van Denderen, born in 1943, worked as a photojournalist for Vrij Nederland, Geo and The Independent magazine,

among others, and earned a number of prestigious prizes, including the Visa d’Or at the international photo festival Visa

pour l’Image in Perpignan in 2001 and the oeuvre prize of The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts in 2007. His

previous books include Go No Go, Peace in The Holy Land and Welkom in Suid Afrika. He is a member of Vu Agency.

Martina Hoogland Ivanow

Far Too Close

Far Too Close is a visual meditation on distance, both physical and emotional, of closeness to a subject and

remoteness from a place. Applying a dark mesmerizing aesthetic which conveys in her images a heightened presence

as real as it is poetic, Martina Hoogland Ivanow interweaves family portraits and interiors of home with landscapes of

some of the most remote and far flung locations at the very ends of the Earth. Over seven years she travelled to

Siberia, Sakhalin Island north of Japan, Tierra del Fuego on the southern tip of Argentina, and the Kola Peninsula in

Russian Lapland. Each of these places has its own dark history and has been the focus of dispute and discontent.

Combined with photographs of her own community, a literary tale emerges which shifts from disturbing to familiar and

is about the very nature of photography, its capacity to relate history and emotion from afar and nearby.

Martina Hoogland Ivanow, born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973, studied photography in Paris and New York. Her

photographs have been featured in Another Magazine, Dazed & Confused, Big magazine, Blindspot and exhibited at

Moderna Museet (Stockholm), The Barbican and The Victoria & Albert Museum (London), Brandts Museet for

fotokunst (Denmark). She currently divides her time between Stockholm and New York.

John Warwicker

The Floating World: Ukiyo-e

Inspired by the ancient Japanese artists of Ukiyo-e and a polymath’s myriad references, John Warwicker has for over

15 years been one of the most original thinkers in the design and creative industries. As a founding member of Tomato,

he established an international reputation in the 1990s and has been formative in shaping popular media.

The Floating World: Ukiyo-e is the first monograph of John Warwicker’s work. Rather than simply collecting together

old work from commercial commissions and personal projects, Warwicker has written and designed an extensive book

that only occasionally references prior work and which sets out to document his experience in an authentic voice. He

has taken the themes, ideas, histories and memories which have informed and influenced him to produce a

sophisticated and yet elegiac book constructed from his critical writings, photography, drawings, film, print,

typography, poetry and prose. Every text page is an original artwork, delicately constructed in layers of typography, and

As varied as the bodies of work they represent, this season’s monographs have a

common aim: to foster a dialogue between the spheres of artistic and professional

production. Patrick Demarchelier, Brigitte Lacombe, and Paolo Roversi are three of the

most renowned names in fashion and portrait photography today, and each has

developed a distinctive vision that has both shaped and surpassed the conventions of

the genre. We are pleased to be able to share these visions with a wider audience.

Patrick Demarchelier

Patrick Demarchelier

This monograph is the definitive guide to the photographic career of one of the most prodigious fashion photographers

of our time. From his earliest work at Harper’s Bazaar to his now mythic collaboration with Vogue, Demarchelier has

single-handedly redefined the fashion photograph and the fashion industry along with it. His celebrity portraits have

shaped the public personae of figures ranging from Princess Diana to Madonna.

Demarchelier is everywhere at once, with a photographic sensibility that is iconic, incisive and as varied as his subject

matter. This monograph provides an invaluable fashion reference point, all the while charting the course of our own

cultural obsession with celebrity and beauty.

Born outside Paris in 1943, Patrick Demarchelier relocated to New York in 1975, where he began his editorial career

with Harper’s Bazaar/Hearst Publications. His photographs appear regularly on the covers and in the pages of

publications such as Vogue and Vanity Fair, among many others. He was the 2007 recipient of the Eleanor Lambert

Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. He lives and works in New York.

This edition is published to coincide with the exhibition “Patrick Demarchelier: Images et Mode à Paris” at the Petit

Palais, Paris, France, from 29 September, 2008 to January 2009. Proceeds from the event and book will go to the

charity Police – Action Solidaire, France.

Brigitte Lacombe

Lacombeanima | persona

In her second book, acclaimed photographer Brigitte Lacombe offers revelatory portraits of Bill Clinton, Brice Marden,

Meryl Streep, Martin Scorsese, and many of her most influential contemporaries. Lacombe’s honest and intelligent

collection of portraits is a documentation of artists, writers, directors, actors, and political figures. These compelling

photographs, in color and black and white, capture private and public moments, intimate and theatrical.

Some of Lacombe’s captured moments include: Bob Dylan on his ranch in Malibu (2004), Nelson Mandela in

Johannesburg (2002), Maya Angelou at home with her parents in North Carolina (1981), Joan Didion radiant in 1995

and again tragic in 2007, David Mamet writing in his Vermont cabin (1997), a direct Richard Avedon (2001), Louise

Bourgeois in pigtails (1995), Meryl Streep in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), Martin Scorsese directing Leonardo DiCaprio

in Gangs of New York (2000), in The Aviator (2003), and in The Departed (2005), Robert Redford as a director on the

set of Ordinary People (1979), Paul & Linda McCartney in a tender moment in Paris (1983), President Clinton

traveling in Africa for his foundation (2007), and the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India (2003).

Born and raised in France, Lacombe began her photographic career in 1975, on assignment at the Cannes Film

Festival. From the beginning of her career she had privileged and rare access to the world of film, working on Alan

Pakula’s All the President’s Men (1975), and Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1976). In 1985,

for seven years, she became the first staff photographer for the Lincoln Center Theater. Since its first issue in 1987,

she has traveled the world for Condé Nast Traveler. In 2000 Lacombe won the Eisenstaedt Award for travel

photography. Lacombe’s work has appeared in Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, French

Vogue, GQ, and numerous other publications. Her passions are portraits and travel.

Adam Gopnik of The New Yorker has praised Lacombe’s work as: “Beautiful and memorably individual...documents of

genuine intimacy between her and her subjects.”

Paolo Roversi

Studio

Studio features nearly two decades of Paolo Roversi’s hugely influential studio portraiture. Within the confines of his

Paris studio, Roversi photographs using a 8 x 10 Polaroid format, often allowing the images to fade before fixing them

to their substrate. His long exposures at close range harness an aesthetic from the earliest days of studio photography,

but with a renewed urgency that wavers somewhere between history and apparition.

Stripped of the usual accoutrements of studio portraiture, Roversi’s subjects push back with a vulnerable intensity that

reveals as much of the photographer as of the model. The images collected here function not only as a series of

individual portraits, but also as a collective self-portrait of the artist and the place that stands at the center of his work.

First published in 2005 in a limited edition, this new edition of Paolo Roversi’s sumptuous and critically acclaimed book

presents this distinctive body of work in an accessible trade edition.

Paolo Roversi was born in 1947 in Italy. His photographs have appeared in numerous publications including French and

Italian Vogue. He lives and works in Paris.

Diane Keaton / Marvin Heiferman

Bill Wood’s Business

Bill Wood’s business was photography–and he produced tens of thousands of images over the course of his career.

A tall, slender, hardworking family man with a penchant for bow ties, Wood (1913-1979) was born, lived, and died in

the Fort Worth, Texas, area, and his photography played a central role in how his clients chose to see and to

portray themselves and their city. Bill Wood’s Business features approximately 300 of Wood’s photographs, and

essays by Diane Keaton and Marvin Heiferman that pay respect to the skills Wood (and professional photographers like

him) brought to the business of photography.

The extraordinary range of Bill Wood’s images, and a shared appreciation of archives and the construction of

photographic realities are what drew Diane Keaton and Marvin Heiferman to this project. In an earlier collaboration,

Still Life (1982), they explored the surreality, fantasies, and economic motivations percolating below the surface of the

glamorous color publicity photographs Hollywood studios orchestrated, produced, and distributed in the

mid-20th century. Since then, Keaton – in her film and book projects – and Heiferman – in his curatorial, writing, and

publishing work – have continued to explore the quirks of American culture, icons, and images. Keaton purchased

the archive of Wood’s negatives twenty years ago, and in Bill Wood’s Business, she and Heiferman team up again

to look at and through photographs, to see what they are expected to depict and what they actually reveal.

Susan Meiselas

In History

Since the 1970s, questions of ethics raised by documentary practice have been central to debates in photography.

Perhaps no other photographer has so closely and consistently represented and participated in these debates than

Susan Meiselas. An American photographer best known for her work covering the political upheavals in Central

America in the 1970s and ’80s, Meiselas’s process has evolved in radical and challenging ways as she has grappled

with pivotal questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use and circulation of her images in the media, and the

relationship of images to history and memory. Her insistent engagement with these concerns has positioned her as a

leading voice in the debate on contemporary documentary practice.

Born in Baltimore in 1948, Meiselas has worked as a freelance photographer since joining Magnum Photos in 1976.

She was presented the Robert Capa Gold Medal for “outstanding courage and reporting” by the Overseas Press Club

in 1979, for her work in Nicaragua, later published in the 1981 book Nicaragua. She served as an editor and

contributor to the books El Salvador: The Work of Thirty Photographers (1983) and Chile from Within (1991).

Meiselas has also co-directed two films based on her involvement in Nicaragua, Living at Risk: The Story of a Nicaraguan

Family (1985) and Pictures from a Revolution (1991). In 1997, she completed a six-year project entitled Kurdistan: In

the Shadow of History—an exhibition, book, and website. Using a similar approach, Encounters with the Dani (2003)

pieces together a richly layered visual history of the Dani through the eyes of outsiders. Both projects examine

the relationship between power and representation and register a shift in her working process from

photographer to collector and curator. This book continues Meiselas’ experiments with the book form, exploring

unconventional narrative and design strategies, interweaving text, images, and archival documents to reveal the

different meanings contained in each.

America and the Tintype

Steven Kasher

One of the most intriguing and little studied forms of 19th-century photography is the tintype. Introduced in 1856 as a

low-cost alternative to the daguerreotype and the albumen print, the tintype was widely marketed from the 1860s

through the first decades of the 20th century as the most popular photographic medium. It was the picture-making

preference of the people, and was almost never used for celebrity portraiture. The tintype was affordable, portable,

unique, and available almost everywhere. Because of its ubiquity, the tintype provides a startlingly candid record of the

political upheavals that rocked the four decades following the American Civil War, and the personal anxieties they

induced. As such, the tintype was far more than a medium for straight portraiture. As Steven Kasher argues, the

tintype studio became a kind of performance space where sitters could act out their personal identities. Sitters brought

to the tintype studio not just their family and friends but also the tools of their trade, masks and costumes, toys and

dolls, stuffed animals, and props of all sorts. Often they would enact stereotypes and fantasies that reflected or

challenged conventional gender, race, and class roles. Surprisingly, the tintype was almost exclusively an American

phenomenon, rarely used in other countries, and this book demonstrates how this inauspicious form of photography

provides extraordinary insight into the development of national attitudes and characteristics in the formative years of the

early modern era.

Steven Kasher is a writer, collector, curator, and historian of photography. His book The Civil Rights Movement:

A Photographic History, 1954-68 was published in 1996.

Daniel Brush

The First Thing About a Book

An Introduction to Steidl-Miles

The first thing about a book is the way that it feels in your hand. That way is halfway. The other half is what it says

to your head. Consider the book as an object: all the time it’s speaking to you, you’re holding it. If it’s fighting your

fingertips, then your head doesn’t have a chance.

This relationship between object and subject is at its strongest when extreme content arrives in accessible form, one

that makes the strange familiar, and the familiar strange. A few years ago, my first significant project with Steidl aspired

to this. The Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia sampled from thousands of tattoos observed over decades at a

St. Petersburg prison. A format of standardized representation, repetition, variation, and vast accumulation produced a

document of disturbing comprehensibility.

The first three titles under the Steidl-Miles imprint extend this sensibility: Street Photographs features the polite

invasions between proximity and intimacy within the work of photographer Annabel Elston; Red Breathing surveys the

intricately disciplined line-scapes of artist Daniel Brush; New York City Museum of Complaint reproduces letters of

complaint sent, over centuries, to the office of the Mayor of New York. The intention in each case is not merely archival,

but indexical: to discover moments of measurement, nomenclature, and meaning within vastly murky histories,

collections, and atmospheres. To find numbers and names.

Such precision requires uncertainty. It’s a form of uncertainty that emerges from the inky process of bookmaking itself.

It’s a process of getting the design, and the content, to ask enough questions of itself. During an era in which mere

information is infinitely available in unbound and disembodied media, the book is not a nostalgic item but a form of

exactitude. All books are guidebooks. They require of their makers decision after decision. Even a fantastic subject is

something the reader won’t want to go towards if it isn’t stripped down, thrown open, put together.

“Books do furnish a room,” wrote the novelist Anthony Powell. But to be more precise, it’s the spines of books on

shelves that furnish a room, that provide a space with a sense of place, of anticipation, of intent. I look at spines more

than I look at books. I’ll pick up and soon put back a book with a great spine, not because it isn’t a great book, but

because I don’t want to know too much about it–because I want always, at first, to have a foot in the unknown.

Annabel Elston

Street Photographs

Annabel Elston’s photographs reveal a shadowy truth, where private moments appear in public places. While the

photographs share ephemeral emotions, they also portray a photographer walking among the streets, straying from one

side to the other, almost as invisible as a ghost. The expressions stamped on faces appear transcendental, but the

emotions are concrete. Empathy is a useful trait for a street photographer to possess. The ability to recognize and

identify the joy or disenchantment of others prepares the street photographer to shape a picture. Working in this

manner, the photographer sees the world constructed not with walls, pavement or buildings but built with an

architecture of emotions. In photography it is clear that a person with a camera aimed at another is never simply

observing but connecting to the subject as well. Elston gives us proximity beyond mere observation and we become

immersed in the subject’s thoughts and decisions. The strangers are seductive and their anonymity enviable. Through

the photographer we politely invade sleeping thoughts ready to rise.

For the past 15 years, Annabel Elston has lived and worked in London and Cornwall. Inspired by her environment, her

photographs are diverse, including still lives, portraits, interiors and reportage. Her editorial work includes The World

of Interiors, House and Garden, Observer magazine and Japanese Vogue. She has received advertising commissions

from Hermès, Habitat, Volvo and Guinness, as well as contributing to a number of publications such as Pure Fuel, Fuel

3000, Surface Contemporary Photography, and Tord Boontje. In 2007 the British Council commissioned her to

photograph forty British nationals living in Turkey, resulting in her first exhibition with venues scheduled for

London and Turkey.

New York City Museum of Complaint

Municipal Collection 1751-1969

The New York City Museum of Complaint is a collection of 132 letters written to the Mayor of New York between 1751

and 1969. Selected from the municipal archives and presented chronologically, the letters address a range of

issues from dead animals in the street to swindles, capitalism, and corruption. From civil rights, adventuresses, bad

luck, and broken hearts to noise and other people. These are the communiqués of dissatisfaction over the course of a

city’s evolution.

The strength of this collection lies in its striking ability to capture the spirit of the city as defined by its critics and

crusaders. New York City has long been perceived as a place where personal expression flourishes. These civic

documents are historical embodiments of the language, wit and energy that helped forge the City’s reputation. From

the passionate defense of street musicians to dedicated battles with drycleaners, police officers, pushcart peddlers and

hooligans, a chorus emerges that articulates the challenges and inherent absurdity of metropolitan life.

Matthew Bakkom was born in Minneapolis in 1968. Starting in the early 1990’s, working as a visual artist in North

America and Europe, he has participated in exhibitions at the Walker Art Center, the Institute of Contemporary Art in

Philadelphia and the Queens Museum of Art. Bakkom has received awards of support from the Jerome Foundation,

The Rema Hort Mann Foundation the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs of

the City of Paris. The investigation of civic archives often serves as the basis for his work.

Daniel Brush

Red Breathing

“In the age of celebrity, anonymity acquires power. In the age of speed, slowness. In the age of the work of art in

digital reproduction, the unique object, the hand-made inscription, the line drawn by hand that is responsive to the

rhythm of breathing, the pulse of ink flowing from the calligrapher's brush onto paper, or the live tremor of the inscriber's

chisel making delicate marks on steel.”

Hugh Haughton

Daniel Brush is a reclusive artist whose works embody a rigorous personal aesthetic marked by its intellect and

mastery of techniques and the science of materials. His tablets and wall sculptures in blued steel, stainless steel and

pure gold are hand engraved with thousands of rhythmic lines. They are visual poems that engage the ambient light and

record the passage of time. His large-scale canvases and drawings–inspired by the expressive, disciplined gestures

of the Noh theatre–integrate the artist's understanding of Asian thought with modernist painting. The subject of seven

museum exhibitions, his career includes international painting shows and a place in public, private and royal

collections. His idiosyncratic work embodies a deeply contemplative voice in American art.

Red Breathing represents the artist's thirteen-year engagement with the 'woman plays', one of the five categories of Noh

theatre, resulting in 117 large-scale drawings. The book includes all drawings in sequence.

Eclipse –Art in a Dark Age

Time & Place

Moderna Museet is celebrating its 50th anniversary with exhibitions and books that reflect

on the past and speculate about the future. History is constantly reconsidered.

In the late 1950s to early 1960s – formative years for Moderna Museet – we looked mainly

to Paris and New York for our influences. Today, we realise that other places were also boil-

ing with creativity – three of these places, Rio de Janeiro, Milan-Turin and Los Angeles – will

be featured in a series of three exhibitions throughout the year.

As for the future, it is impossible to foresee. We are in the dark. Eclipse – Art in a Dark

Age, is an exhibition and a book featuring a few of today’s most interesting artists who avail

themselves of poetic licence and the freedom of art to create new languages and new ways

of thinking.Magnus af Petersens, Curator

Eclipse – Art in a Dark Age

Moderna Museet

Eclipse, a darkening of the sun, is a metaphor for the ambivalent feelings towards the abandonment of Enlightenment

that we experience today. The Enlightenment has been criticised as an alibi for colonialism and yet many mourn the

vanishing ideals which they consider worth defending. In the wake of 9/11, the intolerance from both extremes of a

polarised political field curbs freedom of speech and thought. Nevertheless, the demand on art to be politically

correct and not to offend any group does not appear to limit the imagination of artists.

The artists in this exhibition of international contemporary art look into the darkness – of our times, or more

existentially, into the darkness of the human soul. Insisting on the right of art to be “incorrect”, to use fiction’s licence

to speculate and to experiment, many of the works in Eclipse are characterised by absurdity and a dark sense

of humour.

Several of the most prominent contemporary artists on the international scene are participating: Lucas Ajemian, Michaël

Borremans, Nathalie Djurberg, Ellen Gallagher, Tom McCarthy with INS – International Necronautical Society,

Paul McCarthy, Mike Nelson, Anri Sala, Dana Schutz. Curator: Magnus af Petersens

Moderna Museet’s character as a museum was formed during a few years in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The

impulses and influences came mainly from Paris and New York. In connection with the 50th anniversary of Moderna

Museet, three exhibitions will be produced in 2008 to focus on three other creative hubs during that period: Rio, Milan-

Turin and Los Angeles. The exhibitions and books highlight the era when Moderna Museet was established by

featuring a representative selection of art, architecture, design, literature, film and music never before presented

together in Sweden.

Martin Creed

Works

This publication presents a long overdue survey of the complete works of Martin Creed. Reproducing every one of his

more than 600 works, this extensive volume offers the first comprehensive survey of his artistic career. Creed’s

sculptures, installations and drawings come from the objects, works, and sounds of everyday life. Constantly searching

for the essential nature of things, he uses the simplest materials to create a world in which obsessions and fantasies

radically alter reality and transform it into a catalogue of rigid rules and unexpected exceptions. His work is

simultaneously spectacular and subtle, playful and severe, at times almost cruel in its stark dryness. Creed’s pieces are

characterised by their economy of means and site specificity. This awareness of context and the role of the viewer leads

to a variety of unexpected artistic propositions: a protrusion from the wall, a sheet of paper crumpled into a ball, a door

opening and closing, the lights going on and off, or a soundtrack inside a moving lift. His works do not have titles.

Instead, they have inventory numbers and include fragments of text which have a pragmatic function as a basic,

comprehensive description, transcription or instruction. As Creed explains: “I started numbering my works because I

wasn't happy with titles made of words. They meant too much and added too much extra, and I wanted a way of

treating everything the same, big or small, whatever it was made of, whatever it was. Using numbers – just like

catalogue numbers – seemed a good way of doing this. All numbers are equal. When I started numbering my works I

went back and gave numbers to old ones. I got quite self-conscious about it – about which numbers I gave to which

works – and found that I didn’t want to have a ‘Work No.1.’ It was too much. I couldn’t live with it. WORK NO. 1, MY

FIRST WORK! NO WAY! The point of the numbering was to try to give all works the same value – to treat everything

the same – but the number one just was not the same. Not all numbers are equal. And so I tried to make a kind of fade-

in. I started with 3, put 5 next, and went on up from there.”

Martin Creed was born in Wakefield, England in 1968, and grew up in Glasgow, Scotland. He has exhibited

extensively worldwide, and in 2001 won the Tate’s Turner Prize for his Work No. 227: The lights going on and off. This

last year has seen him touring with his Variety Show, a theatrical production which combines words, music and dance

– including performances in London, New York and Christchurch, New Zealand. Following his solo show in London at

Hauser & Wirth Coppermill and a solo survey show at the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College, Creed had a solo

show at Douglas Hyde Gallery in Dublin in Fall 2007. Martin Creed has been invited to create this year’s Duveens

Commission at Tate Britain. He lives and works in London and Alicudi, Italy.

Isa Genzken

Ground Zero

This publication, styled as a magazine, presents a new body of work, architectural proposals for Ground Zero, the

twenty first century’s most historically significant site. These proposals take the form of architecturally induced

sculptures produced in consultation with a specialist team of engineers so that each model can be realised to its true

architectural scale. Running contrary to official designs, Genzken envisages buildings with a social purpose – a church,

hospital, car park, disco, memorial and shopping centre. Her proposals draw upon the artist’s long-standing love affair

with America’s breathtaking cityscapes and all pervasive culture. With its glitzy, seductive surfaces, slim rectangular

forms and frenetic energy, the work betrays a fascination with the skyscraper. New York represents a vital source of

energy that Genzken returns to again and again and which is intrinsically related to what she does: “To me New York

has a direct link with sculpture.” Consisting of brightly coloured fabrics, outdoor parasols, sheet steel, mirror tile,

saccharine photographs of animals and a plethora of household chintz, Genzken’s output is ultimately precarious: a

hedonistic concoction in which clashing elements congregate and collide. For over thirty years she has developed a

radically variegated career that refuses to let the viewer know what to expect.

Isa Genzken was born in 1948 in Bad Oldesloe, Germany and studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf whose faculty

included Joseph Beuys, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Benjamin Buchloh and Gerhard Richter. Genzken has had solo

exhibitions at major museums and galleries around the world. In 2007 her work featured for a remarkable third time in

the ten-yearly Skulptur Projekte Münster and she represented Germany at the Venice Biennale. Genzken lives and

works in Berlin.

Andreas Hofer

Phantom Gallery

Agile appropriation and the reinvention of existing locations are at the heart of Andreas Hofer’s exhibition practice. His

shows are often set in spaces cut loose from any associations with the presentation of art: rooms and abodes that are

either still occupied or marked by the histories of those who have previously dwelt or worked in them. For Phantom

Gallery Hofer built rooms characterized by emptiness and absence. There were no pictures, only the shadows of

objects as traces on the walls. His love of doubling spaces, of confusing and dismantling boundaries, led to the

exhibition being shown simultaneously in two cities: in Zurich visitors entered a room within a room, a gallery within the

Hauser & Wirth gallery; in Los Angeles the show appeared as a gallery within a commercial stretch of a street on

Sunset Boulevard.

Andreas Hofer was born in 1963 in Munich and lives in Berlin. Between 1991 and 1997 he attended the Academy of

Fine Arts in Munich and the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London. In 2007 he had solo exhibitions at the MARTa

Museum in Herford The Long Tomorrow, at Metro Pictures in New York Only Gods Could Survive and in Paris Sweet

Troubled Souls. Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich dedicated the first comprehensive museum exhibition

to Hofer in 2005, entitled Welt ohne Ende. Hofer’s works have also been shown in numerous group exhibitions, most

recently in Euro-Centric at Rubell Family Collection in Miami, in Paul Thek – In the Context of Today’s Contemporary

Art, at ZKM Centre of Art and Media, Karlsruhe and There is never a stop and never a finish – In memoriam of Jason

Rhoades at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and Made in Germany at the Kestner Gesellschaft, Sprengel Museum and

Hanover Kunstverein.

Roni Horn

bird

bird presents the culmination of Roni Horn’s long-running photographic series of taxidermied Icelandic wildfowl.

Photographed at close range against white backgrounds (as though obeying the conventional format of studio

portraiture) the birds are viewed from behind, their unique physiognomies and markings resulting in inscrutable shapes

and patterns on the photographs’ surfaces. Despite the singular form of the title, the birds in this series are presented

in pairs, images that are hung side by side one another highlighting the differences and similarities between the two.

The gesture of doubling – as an aesthetic and conceptual strategy – has been a recurrent motif for Horn since 1980,

a tool that invites careful scrutiny from the viewer, altering the dynamic of the work.

Horn’s images are accompanied by a text by the writer and curator Philip Larratt-Smith. Avoiding a dense, didactic

reading of the series, Larratt-Smith has compiled an extended series of quotes, anecdotes and idioms, garnered from

film, literature, photographers’ monographs and Horn’s own writings.

Born in New York in 1955, Roni Horn achieved international recognition in the 1980s and her works have been the

subject of numerous major exhibitions. In 2007 she undertook Artangel’s first international commission, creating

Vatnasafn / Library of Water, a long-term installation in the town of Stykkisholmur, Iceland. She has had solo exhibitions

at numerous leading art institutions, including Inverleith House, Edinburgh (2006), Fotomuseum Winterthur (2003), Art

Institute of Chicago (2004), Folkwang Museum, Essen (2004), Centre Pompidou, Paris (2003), Dia Center for the

Arts, New York (2001-02) and Museo Serralves, Porto (2001). A major touring exhibition of Horn’s works, organized

by Tate Modern and the Whitney Museum of American Art, will take place in 2009 to 2010.

Maria Lassnig

The Pen is the Sister of the Brush

Diaries 1943-1997

Maria Lassnig’s writings can now be read in English for the first time. Encompassing Lassnig’s diary entries and notes,

along with a selection of her poems and letters from 1943 to 1997, this book is illustrated with numerous

photographs of the artist and reproductions of her drawings. Originally published in 2000 in German by Hans Ulrich

Obrist, it includes major material not previously available in English to encompass the artist’s diverse oeuvre, her

complex working process and rich life.

The publication brings together an array of texts, including childhood memories, reflections on nature and aging, thoughts

on art and painting, as well as on her outsider status. Like Lassnig’s painting and drawing these writings are deeply

introspective and concern experiences of the human body, taking her psychological self as the subject. They are

significant expressions of her belief that “truth resides in the emotions produced within the physical shell”. Even though

Maria Lassnig has attained critical acclaim and received several awards for her painting, the range and significance of

her work was hardly known outside German-speaking Europe before her successful exhibition at London’s Serpentine

Gallery. This publication is the first in-depth introduction to Maria Lassnig.

Maria Lassnig was born in Austria in 1919. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna she left to pursue her

career in Paris and then New York. On her return she became the first woman to be appointed Professor of Painting at

the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, a role from which she has influenced successive generations of painters.

Extending beyond painting, Lassnig’s oeuvre comprises drawings as well as sculptures and animated films. In the last

few years she has received numerous accolades, among them the Max Beckmann and Roswitha Haftmann Awards and

the Rubens Prize of Siegen. As well as her many solo exhibitions in Austria, Germany, the USA and France, Lassnig has

participated in the Venice Biennale (1982) and Documenta (1982 and 1997).

Caro Niederer

Waiting for Returns

This book presents a survey of fabric works by Swiss artist Caro Niederer. Her starting point is often a personal snap-

shot taken during travels abroad or in her local neighbourhood. By transferring this source imagery into other media, such

as paintings, silk prints or woodcuts, Niederer plays with the subtle shifts of form and meaning that occur in such

physical transformations. Since the early 1990s Niederer has collaborated with textile workers in China to produce

precious hand-made silk carpets and embroidery. As the images move from the artist to the local craftsmen the images –

as in the children’s game of Chinese Whispers – undergo an inadvertent yet sometimes radical cultural transformation.

By reproducing her motifs over time, Niederer creates delicate self-reflexive connections: “My practice is like an open

spiral that moves with time. My work revolves around the subject of memory and the question of what remains that

is valuable”.

Caro Niederer (b. 1963) lives and works in Zürich, Switzerland. Recent solo exhibitions include CAC Málaga (2006),

Museum Haus Lange, Krefeld (2006), Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2005), Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2005) and

Kunstmuseum, St. Gallen (2004). Niederer is the recipient of the Manor Art Prize of the City of St. Gallen (2004).

Zhang Enli

Recent Paintings

Zhang Enli’s paintings depict the familiar and overlooked, everyday objects that are connected through the artist’s

immediate surroundings in China. Zhang Enli observes and examines in detail his environment and in an

intuitive and fragmented manner translates this onto canvas. His brushstrokes come close to traditional Chinese ink

painting, where every stroke articulates elements that are significant to the whole. Sometimes only fragments are

revealed and works appear unfinished and incomplete, semi-transparent paintings where the canvas is visible, revealing

the process of painting. Reproductions of Zhang Enli’s early paintings from 2005 to 2008 are also included, works

which evolve around the unavoidable changes in contemporary China, changes he experienced personally when he

moved from rural China to the megalopolis of Shanghai. This book also documents a pictorial environment based on

the artist`s own residence, realized for Objectif_exhibitions in Antwerp in 2007.

Zhang Enli was born in Jilin Province, China in 1965. He graduated from the Arts & Design Institute of Wuxi Technical

University in 1989. He lives and works in Shanghai. His work has been shown internationally, in Pre-Emptive (2006) at

Kunsthalle Bern, and in Infinite Painting curated by Francesco Bonami and Sarah Cosulich Canarutto at Villa Manin

Centro d’Arte Contemporanea, Udine, and at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Arts in Peekskill

New York last year. Upcoming solo shows will take place at Shanghart Gallery, Shanghai, in 2008, and at Ikon Gallery,

Birmingham, in 2009.

We are excited to continue our collaboration with Steidl and look forward

to the promising possibilities ahead. Exhibitions come and go but

catalogues create a lasting legacy for the artists and galleries, giving us

the opportunity to share their work with a broader public. We aim to

create books that not only document, but also expand upon and

compliment our exhibitions. It is our great privilege that we can draw

directly on the artists’ own talents and design ideas, or the knowledge

and support of their estates, when we produce these exhibition

catalogues. With these new publications and those ahead, we renew our

commitment to producing beautiful books that reflect our artists’ unique

points of view.

Raymond Pettibon

Here’s Your Irony Back

(The Big Picture)

Since the late 1970s, as a pioneer of Southern California underground culture, Raymond Pettibon has radically blurred

the boundaries of “high” and “low”. His obsessively worked drawings pull freely from myriad sources spanning

the cultural spectrum. The resulting, highly poetic constructions function as acute and authentic reflections of

contemporary society. Inspired by September 11, 2001, Pettibon’s focus has grown increasingly political, as evidenced

by his 2006 exhibition at Regen Projects and his 2007 exhibition at David Zwirner. This probing catalogue, which is a

collaborative effort between Regen Projects, Los Angeles and David Zwirner, New York, includes a text by art

historian Benjamin Buchloh.

Raymond Pettibon was born in 1957 in Tucson, Arizona and currently lives and works in Venice, California. He received

his B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles in Economics. A self-taught artist, he received the Bucksbaum

Award following his participation in the 2004 Whitney Biennial, and the 2001 Wolfgang Hahn Prize from Museum

Ludwig, Cologne, Germany. Pettibon has recently been the subject of expansive surveys at Kestner Gesellschaft, Hanover,

Germany (2007); Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, Austria (2006); and CAC Málaga, Málaga, Spain (2006). Recently included

in the 52nd Venice Biennale, Pettibon is widely considered one of the most influential contemporary artists working today.

Marcel Dzama

Even the Ghost of the Past

Published on the occasion of his fifth solo exhibition at David Zwirner, Even the Ghost of the Past presents new work

by Marcel Dzama. A favorite among the art, literary, and indie music scenes, Dzama is best known for his figurative

compositions of pen and watercolor on manila-colored paper. Bearing a characteristic palette of muted browns, grays,

greens and reds, Dzama’s drawings are populated by an expansive cast of human, animal, and hybrid characters. In

recent years, Dzama has expanded his practice to include work in multiple media. His latest exhibition transformed

the gallery into an odeum of imagination with drawings, sculptures, dioramas, and films. The catalogue includes an

interview with the artist by filmmaker Spike Jonze.

Destined to become a collector’s item, Even the Ghost of the Past has a unique format made up of two volumes bound

into one book. Designed in collaboration with the artist, it features a drawing done especially for the book’s cover and

also includes a DVD of original short films.

Marcel Dzama was born in 1974 in Winnipeg, Canada and currently lives and works in New York. Since 1996, he has

shown extensively throughout North America and Europe. In addition to his numerous solo and group exhibitions, the

artist has contributed to a host of publications including The New York Times Magazine, Interview, Monopol,

and Art Review.

Neo Rauch

Following his acclaimed exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this fully illustrated catalogue was published in

conjunction with Neo Rauch’s fourth solo exhibition at David Zwirner. One of his generation’s most influential and

virtuoso painters, Rauch continues the rich tradition of Leipzig figurative painting. Transforming typical industrious scenes

into veritable dreamscapes, he transports viewers to a deeply personal and enigmatically symbolic universe. Rauch

does not rely on existing imagery or models for his paintings, and while some begin as tiny sketches, he works his

imagined scenes directly onto the canvas. He likens his process to reading a novel, with the paintings unfolding

as surprisingly for their maker as for any viewer. Springing from dreams and shaped by experience, both past and

present, Rauch’s instinctive imagery and automatic approach exceed straightforward Surrealist concerns and restrictive

artistic practice.

Neo Rauch was born in 1960 in Leipzig, Germany, where he now lives and works. He was educated at the legendary

Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig, where he is currently Professor of Painting and Graphic Arts. In

addition to his one-person exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY (2007), Rauch was recently the

subject of a major survey hosted by Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg, Germany (2006).

Dan Flavin

The 1964 Green Gallery exhibition

This book examines a seminal early exhibition of work by Dan Flavin that took place in 1964 at New York’s influential

(though short-lived) Green Gallery. This exhibition was groundbreaking not only in terms of its presentation of

radically innovative work that used commercially-available, colored fluorescent light, but also because it marked a

turning-point in Flavin’s career. The Green Gallery show was the first exhibition in which the artist presented only

fluorescent light pieces, and it included such important works as the diagonal of May 25, 1963 (to Robert Rosenblum),

1963; a primary picture, 1964; and the nominal three (to William of Ockham), 1963. It marked the development of the

language of illumination that would characterize Flavin’s influential work until his death in 1996, and is therefore

considered by many to be one of the key gallery exhibitions of the 1960’s.

Dan Flavin: The 1964 Green Gallery exhibition includes new scholarship on the important body of work by Jeffrey

Weiss. The publication documents the original show with rare archival photographs and reproductions of the early

critical reviews and responses to Flavin’s fluorescent light works and includes a selection of recently commissioned

statements by artists and critics who saw the exhibition in 1964. The book also contains new color plates that

document each of the works from the exhibition, in addition to a selection of drawings which show the development of

Flavin’s ideas about these works and their original installation.

This book is published on the occasion of an exhibition at Zwirner & Wirth that brought together the seven works from

the 1964 Green Gallery show in a historically accurate recreation of their original presentation, the first in a

series of projects that will explore the presentation and influence of groundbreaking historical gallery shows of the

twentieth century.

Christer Strömholm

The Lido Exhibition

It is rare to discover previously unknown works by a legendary photographer but if you weren’t in Stockholm in 1990,

that’s exactly what you’ll find in this book. The Lido Exhibition consists of previously unpublished work by the great

Swedish photographer Christer Strömholm which was only shown at the small gallery Lido in Stockholm in 1990. It

brings together work from Strömholm’s early years in Paris, the south of France and Morocco in the 1940s and early

1950s. The photographs were selected and printed by the renowned photographer Gunnar Smoliansky and this book

finally brings the work to a wider audience.

Christer Strömholm

Poste Restante

Originally published in 1967, Poste Restante has become one of the most collectible photography books from the mid-

twentieth century, ranking alongside the better known publications of Robert Frank and Ed van der Elsken. Strömholm’s

photographic autobiography details his extensive travels across the globe in a book constructed as an Existentialist

diary. Juxtaposing the urbane and the macabre, combining portraiture and street scenes with abstract photographic

fragments, the book uses metaphor and visual pun in an unrelenting stream of consciousness. In its sequence and

design it is a book which pre-figures much of contemporary photographic publishing and art practice.

Christer Strömholm, born 1918 in Stockholm, studied painting in Dresden and Stockholm, before discovering

photography whilst studying in Paris after the war. He joined Otto Steinert’s Fotoform group and whilst working and

travelling through France, Spain, Japan, India, America and Africa, he developed his own brand of ‘subjective

photography’. During this time he began teaching and became the father figure to major Swedish photographers of the

late twentieth century. He was appointed Professor of Photography in 1993 and was awarded the Hasselblad Award in

1997. He died on January 11, 2002.

Sune Jonsson

The Village with the Blue House

Images of the Children of Grace

Monograph

Sune Jonsson is one of Sweden’s most prominent documentary photographers whose work has been compared to

both Walker Evans and August Sander. For more than half a century he has, with the help of his camera and pen, come

close to people and environments throughout Sweden. Jonsson’s work has encompassed different societies in

transition, as well as the wonders of everyday life and the uniqueness of every individual’s history, always with great skill,

emotion, empathy and respect for his subject’s integrity. His home district, Västerbotten, has often been the motif for

his work, but over the years he has also worked in New York, Congo, Prague, Bornholm, and Attsjö in Småland.

Jonsson’s debut book “Byn med det blå huset” was published in 1959 and since then he has published more than

twenty important picture books, as well as short stories, novels and documentary films.

Sune Jonsson, born 1930 in Nyåker, Sweden. He studied English, Ethnology and the History of Literature at the

Universities of Stockholm and Uppsala. He worked as a field ethnologist and photographer at the Västerbottens

Museum between 1961 and 1995. He has been awarded several prizes including the Svenska Dagbladets Prize for

Photography in 1960, and the Västerbottens Kurirens Cultural Award. In 1993 he received the Hasselblad Award, in

1995 he became an Honorary Doctor at the University of Agriculture in Sweden, and in 2001, an Honorary Doctor at

the Faculty of Arts at the University in Umeå.

The Hasselblad Award in Photography

The Hasselblad award is an international photography award. Since 1980 it has been presented annually, with the

exception of the year of Erna Hasselblad’s death, 1983. The Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photo-

graphy is recognized as one of the most important prizes in the world today.

The Hasselblad award is granted to “a photographer recognized for major achievements”. This may be an individual who

has made a pioneering achievement in photography, who has had a decisive impact on younger generations of

photographers, or who has implemented one or more internationally significant photographic projects.

Each year, in conjunction with the award ceremony, an exhibition of works by the award winner opens at the Hassel-

blad Center, and a book is released. This year, as last year, a book will be produced as a co-operation between the

Hasselblad Foundation and Steidl Verlag.

Annually the Foundation appoints an award committee of internationally prominent experts in photography. The

committee nominates three candidates among which the Board of Directors of the Hasselblad Foundation appoints the

Awardee.

The name of the Award Winner is announced each year on or around 8 March, the birthday of Victor Hasselblad.

The award is then presented in October or November at a formal ceremony in Göteborg.

The Hasselblad Foundation was instituted after a bequest from Erna and Victor Hasselblad in 1979. The purpose of the

Foundation is to promote scientific education and research in the natural sciences and photography. In 1989 the

Hasselblad Foundation established a separate foundation, the Hasselblad Center, with the purpose of promoting

scholarly research and education in photography and organizing exhibitions. In January 2008 the activities of the two

foundations were consolidated into the Hasselblad Foundation. The exhibition hall, situated in the Göteborg Museum

of Art, is retaining the name of Hasselblad Center. The Hasselblad Foundation hosts five exhibitions annually at

Hasselblad Center, one of which displays works by that year’s Hasselblad Award winner. There is also a photo

collection focusing on Hasselblad Award Winners and Nordic photographers.

The Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for 2008 has been awarded to Graciela Iturbide

from Mexico City.

Graciela Iturbide is considered one of the most important and influential Latin American photographers of the past four

decades. Iturbide has developed a photographic style based on her strong interest in culture, ritual and everyday life in

her native Mexico and other countries. Iturbide has extended the concept of documentary photography, to explore the

relationships between man and nature, the individual and the cultural, the real and the psychological. She continues

to inspire a younger generation of photographers in Latin America and beyond.

There is often a special fondness in the heart of a mature artist for a younger one. After all, every artist was once a child,

and more than a few, in quieter and more humble moments, will recall what it was like to grapple awkwardly with the

yet unfocussed creative urges and grand aspirations of their youth. Picture, for example, our very own Gerhard Steidl,

the original little Steidl, at age eleven with his first camera in hand, arguing with the printer over the unacceptable

quality of his black, demanding a reprint, and, finally, declaring, “Ich drucke selbst,” I’ll print it myself!

It is in the spirit of an inspiring encounter between master and fledgling artist that we have created the Little Steidl

program. The artist book serves as an unrivalled creative platform for communication with young readers. It may be

compassionate, clever, dissonant, revelatory, even deceptive. But always visual. Always freely expressive. Always

provocative. Because every young artist wants to be addressed as an artist in his or her own right. There is no need

to simplify, to tame, to explain. A young artist can accept a creative work at full force.

While the Little Steidl program is an unprecedented approach to visual books for young audiences within the

publishing world, it is also simply business as usual for Steidl Publishers. Steidl has always given absolute priority to

artists and approached the book as a creative form and democratic imperative. Little Steidl is just a convenient excuse

to remind our readers that artist books are for everyone, a necessity for all.

Our attentiveness to younger readers should not mislead anyone into thinking that Little Steidl books are for children

alone. Rather, they are works to be entered at an early age that will keep the interest of a reader well into adulthood.

They offer the possibility of a sustained and mature encounter with the visual works of our own time, for adults

and children alike.

Lawrence Weiner

SOMETHING TO PUT SOMETHING ON

What is a table? Lawrence Weiner asks the question that has held his interest since his earliest days of art making.

SOMETHING TO PUT SOMETHING ON was completed as a mock-up nearly ten years ago: a book posing serious

questions concerning art, generously endowed with its maker’s celebrated wordly wit, and intended for young readers.

Weiner thus commenced a long search for a place to put what he had made – in this case, a publisher who would

embrace a work that expands the scope of children’s literature as well as the audience for artist books. All hope was

nearly lost until one year ago, the mock-up was brought out and dusted off one final time. We at Steidl were delighted

to make a place for this work and to undertake the first printed edition. It is appropriately the foundational book, the very

impetus, of our Little Steidl program.

Though the ideas Weiner contemplates lead back to youthful days, there is no familiar once upon a time to be found on

these pages. Neither story book, nor autobiography, nor reference book, SOMETHING TO PUT SOMETHING ON is a

questioning book, both forthright and intriguing. Weiner wields his red, orange, and blue letterforms to take up the

question of a human being’s relationship to objects and teases the reader into looking at a table in an entirely new light.

Lawrence Weiner was born in Bronx, New York in 1942 and educated in the New York City public school system. The

book has long been a central component of his life work. His works have been shown internationally in museums.

The works also inhabit many public spaces around the world – sides of buildings, cobblestones and pavers, open

squares, manhole covers – and are frequently passed from the hand of one reader to another. Weiner has been

awarded two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, a Solomon R. Guggenheim Fellowship, the Wolfgang

Hahn Prize, the Arthur Kopcke Prize, and the Singer Prize, among others.

Chuck Close

Scribble Book: Self Portrait

Chuck Close’s scribble self-portrait grew from a desire to see his own drawing process unfold step by step. “I wanted

to make a drawing in a way that would allow me to see what I was doing,” he explained. “I have always loved those books

about how the city works that give an exploded view. You can see the sewage system and the subway system, the

electrical system and the street. When you pull the whole city apart and look at it this way, you understand the

infrastructure and the interconnection between things. But when it’s all together, you can’t necessarily see the

interrelationships of all those things. I’ve always loved pulling something apart to understand its basic component parts

and then seeing how they go together and how they build.”

Scribble Book: Self Portrait provides such a view into the creative process. Utilizing a soft-ground etching technique,

Close isolates each of the nine stages of his developing self-portrait. Working in only one color at a time, he scribbles

in magenta, cyan, yellow, orange, pink, green, red, turquoise, and then black until he is satisfied with the emerging

image. “When I started the scribble self-portrait, I really didn’t know how many colors I was going to need. It’s like

saying, I can name that tune in three notes or I can name that tune in five notes. It’s a kind of correction. It’s a way to

slowly sneak up on what I want. And always, it’s wrong before it’s right. Sometimes I think, Oh my god, this is never

going to work out. It’s so far from what I want. It’s perfect just to throw up your hands and say it can’t be done. But

I don’t panic, and I say, well, alright, I’ll just get going on making some alterations and see if I can get that.”

To best examine his process, Close arranged his developing labors into two volumes: first into a series of nine plate

proofs that show the separate stages of his drawing and then into a series of nine progressive proofs that show the

cumulative effect as he adds each new color. “I don’t think that most people have the slightest idea how a work of art

gets made. If I demystify the process so that people can see that this happened and then that happened, they can get

in sync with it and can sort of figure it out. Not that I want to destroy the magic. I still want to pull a rabbit out of a hat,

but after I pull it out of the hat, I’m perfectly happy to go back and show you how I did it. And I don’t think that destroys

the magic at all.”

Chuck Close was born in Monroe, Washington in 1940 and pursued his education in visual art at Yale University.

Photography has been an integral part of his painting process since the mid-1960s and later grew into a body of work

in its own right that includes large-format Polaroids and daguerreotypes. Close has also distinguished himself as a

master in the area of printmaking. Since 1967 his work has been the subject of more than 100 major exhibitions

throughout the world.

Graciela Iturbide

asor

With secrets drawn from her archive, Graciela Iturbide creates a curious world in which the human subjects we

encounter in her widely-known portraits are absent. In asor, the human subject is the reader alone, dream borne, on a

journey in which all places remain nameless, time cannot be ascertained, and the course is lost to the imagination.

Loosely inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Iturbide constructs her intimate and contemporary extension of Lewis

Carroll’s classic tale without words, making equal use of the narrative and compositional elements of her photographs

to startle her readers with visual riddles and quick shifts of perspective.

To accompany a reader along this unlikely journey are six electroacoustic works by composer Manuel Rocha Iturbide.

These works, composed over a fifteen year period from 1990 to 2005 from sources taped by Rocha Iturbide during his

extensive travels, were selected by the composer in response to his mother’s photographs.

Graciela Iturbide was born in Mexico City in 1942. At the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, she studied with

Manuel Alvarez Bravo, who invited her to be his assistant in 1970. Since 1975 her photography has been

extensively published and presented in more than sixty exhibitions throughout the world, including a major exhibition at

the J. Paul Getty Museum in 2007–2008. Her first collaboration with Steidl Publishers, asor, brings to light a body of

work previously unknown to the public.

Manuel Rocha Iturbide was born in Mexico City in 1963. He studied composition at the Escuela Nacional de Música

and electronic music at Mills College and the University of Paris VIII. He has produced commissioned works for the

Festival Internacional Cervantino and for the Arditti String Quartet and has presented works in numerous international

music festivals and as sound installations in gallery settings.

John Baldessari

Miracle Chips

It all began many years ago with an innocent interest in the way people like to anthropomorphize. Animals, objects, just

about anything can be given human characteristics. Following his curiosity, John Baldessari was soon enough making

his own pictures of objects with barely perceptible human features. Maybe they would be detected, maybe they

wouldn’t. It was akin to seeing the Virgin Mary in a tortilla. Next came a series of noses and ears gleefully placed on

colorful, flat, somewhat lumpy and rounded shapes: faces. Much to Baldessari’s surprise and our amusement, he

recently looked again at these mustard and cobalt colored face shapes that populate his studio and came to a decisive

conclusion: Potato chips! Those faces are potato chips!

In a moment he had handed over a stack of prints of chips with just visible full faces peering out at us, only to issue a

kind-hearted warning: These are really too perfect. Life isn’t perfect. Potato chips break, pieces crack off. Think of the

Venus de Milo, and I think you’ll know where I’m going with this book. And look, I have a title too...

And thus Baldessari’s Miracle Chips began to make their way one by one into the world.

John Baldessari was born in 1931 in National City, California, and today lives and works in Santa Monica, California.

His art has been featured in more than 200 solo exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe and in over 750 group exhibitions.

His projects include artist books, videos, films, billboards and public works. His awards include the Americans for the

Arts lifetime achievement award, the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, the Governor’s Award for Lifetime

Achievement in the Visual Arts in California, the Oscar Kokoschka Prize from Austria and the Spectrum-International

Award for Photography of the Foundation of Lower Saxony, Germany. A forthcoming retrospective at the Tate Modern

will open in London in 2009.

Why do photography books cost more than original prints?

Some people say it’s all Martin Parr’s fault. Three and a

half years ago the prominent British photographer,

together with the photo historian and critic Gerry Badger,

released The Photo Book, Vol. I. The book was originally

planned as a catalogue of the photo books Parr had col-

lected over the preceding decades. Parr put into his

heavyweight reference work only those books in which he

recognized an original idea in form and content. Coffee

table books were filtered out.

Eighteen months ago the second volume appeared and

since then the story has continued. Despite meagre texts,

the two thick tomes serve as a ready reference for avid

collectors: what’s included must be good – and worth

collecting. At least that’s the description offered by the

Zentrale Verzeichnis Antiquarischer Bücher, which cited

the significantly increased number of Internet hits on

photo books mentioned by Parr. The photography critic

Freddy Langer reported that bibliomaniacs have even

plopped Parr’s volumes on bookshop counters with the

demand to purchase all the photo books presented

therein. The subjective selection by the British photo-

grapher has unintentionally become a canon – and a

shopping list too.

In recent years museums have also begun showing photo

books as a separate art form. A few years ago, Ute

Eskildsen, the director of the Folkwang Museum in Essen,

which is home to the most important publicly held

collection of photography, presented the Farewell to

Bosnia project by the photojournalist Gilles Peress. The

exhibition consisted of a narrow shelf running along the

walls of the rooms on which dozen of copies of the new

book were standing, each opened to the next page in the

sequence. Original prints of the photographs were not

displayed at all.

In the meantime auction houses have also reacted to the

altered perception of such books. Christie’s in London,

Swann in New York and Bassenge in Berlin have held

sales with photographic literature in conjunction with their

photo auctions. Classic works such as The Guide by

photographer William Eggleston, the limited-edition

photographic publications of Ed Ruscha and Hans-Peter

Feldmann, and especially first editions of epochal volumes

such as Les Américains by Robert Frank and Anonyme

Skulpturen by Bernd and Hilla Becher, have sold for as

much as $20,000 – bringing in even more than many

original prints by the same photographers. In an age of

seemingly infinite potential reproduction of artworks, this

artistic concept sees the selection and presentation of

photographs as an original work in and of itself and values

it accordingly. And to what do the auction houses refer in

their catalogues? Martin Parr’s Photo Books.
