	Ernst Haas Color Photography Ernst Haas 1989, Harry N Abrams 176 pgs. (out of print, used copies available)	"This collection of 153 color photographs, taken between 1952 and Haas's death in 1986, ranges in style and subject from depictions of the abstract qualities of flattened cans, torn posters and road markings to the documentation of a crowded Oktoberfest beer hall. Haas was a pioneer and major figure in the field of color photography and one-time president of the famed photo group, Magnum. Here, his blurred, open-shutter images form action-impressions of bullfights, sporting events and running horses. There are meticulous close-ups of flowers and plants, swirls of lichen on a stone, geometric rooftop patterns of a city, reflections in storefront windows, landscapes of the American West, an unusual low-angle shot of Venetian gondolas in front of the Doge's Palace and exotic photos of 1974 coronation day celebrations in Bhutan. A short biography by Magnum member Bondi and a selection of Haas's perceptive writings on photography are a bonus."
	Ernst Haas in Black and White, Ernst Haas 1992, Bulfinch 11.75" x 10.25", 143 pgs. (out of print, used copies available)	What most distinguishes the photographs in this collection is the high regard for humanity. Whether he was depicting a quiet moment or intense action, Haas always couched his subjects in a lyrical, often poetic style. Best known for the color photography that appeared in such books as The Creation ( LJ 9/15/71), Haas was clearly a brilliant photographer who relied upon his intuitive abilities to observe and then capture key moments on film. His kind of photography cannot be taught and really cannot be learned. He simply had the eye, the disposition, and the native talent of a great artist. This large-format book is beautifully printed on quality paper and is well worth the price.

	Unknown Halsman, Philippe Halmsan 10½ x 14", 144 pp 2008, DAP List price: $75.00	Unknown Halsman reveals an overlooked, playful and bizarre side of Philippe Halsman, one of the most innovative photographers of the twentieth century. Most previous publications on Halsman feature his iconic portraiture, which appeared on the cover of Life and other top American magazines from the 40s through the 70s. He is also remembered for his groundbreaking Surrealist photo collaborations with Salvador Dali. Edited by his grandson Oliver Halsman Rosenberg (who has spent the past two years organizing the archive and discovering the depth of the celebrated photographer's unpublished oeuvre), most of the images in this distinctive volume which include private and experimental photographs, decontextualized advertisements, outtakes from famous sittings, contact sheets and family snapshots, have never been seen as a body of work in their own right.

	Philippe Halsman's Jump Book, Philippe Halsman 1986, Harry N Abrams (reprint edition) 11.13" x 8.74", 96 pgs. List price: $14.95	A portrait photographer for Life magazine in the 1950s, Halsman asked many of his subjects to jump for his camera. Here are shots of 191 celebrities in the air, ranging from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to John Steinbeck. This edition also includes previously unpublished shots, of Lucille Ball and Art Carney among others. A delightful exercise.
	Philippe Halsman: A Retrospective, Philippe Halsman 1998, Bulfinch 13.32" x 10.58", 212 pgs. List price: $75.00	"Photographs of film celebrities try to reveal more than their movies do. Whether looking surprised or carefully posed, celebrities have the visual control of themselves and how they look down to a science. This large, aggressive book of sometimes astonishing, sometimes quiet photographs shows the generous archive of black-and-white celebrity shots left to us by Philippe Halsman (1906 - 1979). Halsman brought originality, respect, and confidence to his work. ..."
	Dali's Mustache Philippe Halsman, Salvador Dali 1994, Flammarion 7" x 5.44", 128 pgs. List price: $12.95 (Reprint)	"Warning! This book is preposterous," says the back cover. This collaboration between the flamboyant Spanish painter and the Latvian-born portraitist is also a surrealistic work of art. Halsman understood the extroverted Dali better than any other photographer; their talents and personalities were the perfect complement to each other. In the course of this witty and inventive homage, the artist's celebrated whiskers tie themselves in a knot, are pressed into service as a paintbrush, become the hands of a clock and blemish the face of the Mona Lisa.

	Sonic Antje Hanebeck 2009,Fotohof Editions 9½" x 12", 128 pp List price: $69.95	Architectural photographer Antje Hanebeck has tackled a big theme: reconstructed space. And her paradigm-shifting photographs in this stunning, large-format volume are a far cry from a literal documentation of the buildings she shoots. Instead, they are a complicated and beautiful interpretation of space, raising at least as many questions as they answer. Here are Hanebeck’s evocative, black and white photos of a number of Germany’s most talked-about buildings – Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum and Frank Gehry’s DZ Bank in Berlin, Zaha Hadid’s Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, among them. The photographer produces coarse, calotype-style prints that disorient the viewer, creating an oscillation between positive and negative. More »

	Progreso, Charles Harbutt 1985, Actuality, Inc. 96 pgs. List price: $35.00	Charles Harbutt has been a New Photojournalist for some time, as Travelog, his inner voyage through urban existence, made clear in 1973. Progreso, about a town in the Yucatan, looks as if he began with a study in journalistic formalism but was too enamored of life to give it up for photography. Harbutt balances old means and new, traditional and more contemporary attitudes; the result ... is solid, quiet, and thoughtful. -- AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER, July 1987 Vicki Goldberg
	Travelog, Charles Harbutt 1974, MIT Press 9" x 8", 110 plates List price: $17.95	This is a wonderful look at America from a very perceptive photographer. Harbutt presents images of his world that are insightful while at the same time juxtaposed with the irony of what he sees.

	Divided Soul, David Alan Harvey 2003, Phaidon Press 9" x 13.5", 161 pp. List price: $49.95	"Divided Soul represents David Alan Harvey's twenty-year journey through the Spanish and Portuguese diaspora. In this selection of more than 100 colour photographs Harvey explores the exuberance and incongruities of Hispanic life and culture that hold for him an endless fascination. Since the 1970s Harvey has photographed in Spain, Portugal and throughout the New World, including Cuba, Mexico, Honduras, Brazil and Chile. A passionate and divided soul, where tradition and ritual are inherent in everyday life, is revealed in these photographs of pulsating carnivals in Trinidad, fervent religious ceremonies in Brazil, and intense Easter parades in Puerto Rico. Harvey minimizes the distance between himself and his subjects, producing images that capture the natural choreography of people within places and that resonate with magic."

	Car Girls, Jacqueline Hassink 2009, Aperture List price: $85.00	It takes an artist with the astute eye of Holland's Jacqueline Hassink to capture the actual oddness of the use of female models to sell cars. Hassink has already been acclaimed for books and exhibitions addressing issues of power and social relations, and Car Girls is a supreme instance of these explorations-a body of work that has taken more than five years to complete, photographing car shows in cities on three different continents.

	Autoportraits, Torsten Hattenkerl 2007 Fotohof Editions 13½" x 11", 86 pp List price: $59.95	In a world of camera ubiquity and digital overload, Torsten Hattenkerl’s Autoportraits are a refreshing step forward for the European photographic tradition. More about this book »

	Road Trips, Timothy Hearsum 2001, Hearsum Editions 9" x 11.25", 25 color plates	"There is a long tradition in the arts of taking to the road to discover something about one's own country. Writers, photographers and artists have all set out, only to realize they have found themselves or, more likely, some fundamental truths about humanity."-the photographer. This accordion-fold book is an excellent vehicle to view the rich color panoramic photographs of Timothy Hearsum whose work is at once reflective and humorous. Santa Barbara, 2001."

	Robert Heinecken: A Material History, Robert Heinecken 2003, Center for Creative Photography 11" x 10", 112 pp. List price: $30.00	Essays by Mark Alice Durant and Amy Rule. "Over the last four decades, Robert Heinecken has amused, educated and often shocked viewers with his pointed, irreverent photographic works. So provocative are Heinecken's subjects and obsessions--the Vietnam War, pornography, masculinity and femininity, the media marketplace--that many critics and other observers rank either as avid fans or staunch detractors. In recent years, the impact of Heinecken's career within and beyond the world of photography has been indisputable. His manipulations and iterations of mass-produced imagery are echoed by artists as eclectic as Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman, Richard Price and others. In today's media-saturated environment, Heinecken's work with its wit, know-how, and focus on media materials, is as relevant now as when he made it. The Robert Heinecken Archive at the Center for Creative Photography, with its extensive collection of fine prints, papers, support materials and random objects, provides the inspiration for this reassessment. Robert Heinecken: A Material History positions Heinecken less as a fringe element of photographic practice and sensibility and more as a pioneer of the visual, helping to integrate alternative methods as part of the canon." - 56 color, 29 duotone illustrations.
	Robert Heinecken: Photographist, Robert Heinecken 1999, Museum of Contemporary Art 11" x 9", 176 pp. List price: $34.95	"A photographic innovator and conceptual artist, Robert Heinecken played an important role in the development of contemporary art practice. That role is critically assessed in this exhibition catalog, which accompanies a major traveling retrospective organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. This volume, the first comprehensive book on Heinecken since 1980, illustrates all the major work in his thirty-year career, and features essays by leading photography critic and historian A.D. Coleman and exhibition curator Lynne Warren."

	Roaming, Todd Hido 2004, Nazraeli Press 14" x 11", 56 pp List price: $65.00	The work in Roaming appears arrestingly different than that in Todd Hido’s previous two monographs. It is as if, having spent so many nights outside the eerie, brightly lit suburban tract homes featured in House Hunting and Outskirts, he has suddenly put his foot on the gas pedal and driven into the next day. But these landscapes continue Hido’s mastery in portraying the most mundane scenes with a menacing air of expectancy. These unpeopled pictures, often taken through a car windshield, are so effective in creating tension they might almost have been staged. But in fact they are taken “as seen”; the telegraph poles, the straggling tree, the road leading nowhere are all exactly as encountered by Hido as he drove through Eastern Washington State, the California Central Valley, Indiana, South Louisiana and beyond. - publisher

	Florence Henri: Artist Photographs of the Avant-Garde, Diane C. DuPont 1992, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 9.5" X 12", 158pp (used copies available)	"Florence Henri's training was cutting-edge. She studied painting in Paris with Fernand Leger and Andre Lhote. She discovered photography at the Bauhaus, where her instructors included Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. ..."

	Frozen History - The Legacy of Scott and Shackleton Josef Hoflehner, Katharina Hoflehner 2003, Josef Hoflehner 9.5" x 12", 288 pp. List price: $100.00 (75€) Order this book	At the turn of the twentieth century the geographical South Pole was the object of one of the last great races of discovery. This 'heroic age' of exploration is a chronicle of hardship, courage, endurance and tragedy. It is a record of men who overcame great odds and often their own fears and foibles to reach the South Pole. The British names of Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton are writ large in the legend of this frozen continent. The 'heroic age' saw a number of British Antarctic expeditions mounted and dozens of men risked their lives to conquer the last great frontier on earth. These parties built substantial wooden huts at locations accessible by ship and from these bases the sledging parties left for the interior. About one century after their construction, Josef and Katharina Hoflehner present this premiere detailed portrayal of these historic sites. Many of these fine photographs are accompanied by excerpts from diaries gathered from Antarctic historic site authority and author David L. Harrowfield. In his foreword he wrote: “... for the first time a book now captures the true feeling and uniqueness of the huts and their contents.” - publisher 182 duo-tone photographs, english text, printed by Stamperia Valdonega Read more about this book.

	Photographs 1961-1967 Dennis Hopper List price 2009, Taschen 13" x 17¼", 560 pp $700.00	During the 1960s, Dennis Hopper carried a camera everywhere—on film sets and locations, at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving on freeways and walking on political marches. He photographed movie idols, pop stars, writers, artists, girlfriends, and complete strangers. Along the way he captured some of the most intriguing moments of his generation with a keen and intuitive eye. A reluctant icon at the epicenter of that decade’s cultural upheaval, Hopper documented the likes of Tina Turner in the studio, Andy Warhol at his first West Coast show, Paul Newman on set, and Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

	Roni Horn aka Roni Horn Roni Horn 2009, Steidl & Partners 7½" x 9½", 430 pp List price: $70.00	Over the course of more than 30 years, Roni Horn has developed a body of work of concentrated visual power, classical in its restraint, beauty and sensitivity to material. Horn's pieces invite conceptual engagement, though her practice defies easy categorization, and also elicit in the viewer a refreshed attention to matter itself, to make being here enough' (as the title of a previous monograph put it).

	Barakei, Eiko Hosoe 2008, Aperture 10½" x 16½", 100 pp List price: $500.00	In the fall of 1961, the photographer Eikoh Hosoe, then in his late 20s, agreed to make a series of portraits of the controversial author Yukio Mishima. Hosoe visited Mishima at his home and was immediately intrigued by a marble mosaic of the zodiac in the middle of Mishima's lawn. Taking the rubber hose with which Mishima's father was watering the garden, Hosoe wrapped it around the half-naked writer (who had been sunbathing) and photographed him in various poses against the zodiac mosaic and around the grounds.

	Eiko Hosoe, Eiko Hosoe 1999, Aperture 8.33" x 8.36", 96 pgs. List price: $12.50	"Eikoh Hosoe is an integral part of the history of the modern Japanese photography. He remains a driving force in photography, not only for his own work, but also as a teacher and as an ambassadorial figure, fostering artistic exchange between Japan and the outside world. His influence has been felt not only in his native country, but throughout the international photographic community." - Aperture
	Ba-ra-kei: Ordeal by Roses, Yukio Mishimia, Eikoh Hosoe 2002, Aperture 14.72" x 10.24", 100 pgs. List price: $45.00	Ba-ra-kei is the fierce and lyrical testament of the legendary Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, who shocked the world when he committed ritual suicide in 1970. The year marked Japan's new economic confidence, and Mishima accused the country of being "drunk with prosperity." Many in Japan regarded the suicide as a sensational act. However, with the publication of Mishima's final cycle of novels-conceived eight years prior to his death-it was revealed that his suicide was a carefully considered act, a gesture of historical implication in accord with the morbid and esoteric aesthetic that pervades his writing. Mishima's elaborate and erotic psyche was captured nine years before his death by master photographer Eikoh Hosoe. This collaboration resulted in surreal photographs of Mishima taken in the baroque interior of his home. The props that surround the writer are the antithesis of the Japanese sensibility of understatement, alluding to Mishima's dark, theatrical imagination. The images in Ba-ra-kei grant us entry into the private world of an extraordinary subject.

	The Hyena & Other Men Pieter Hugo 2008, Prestel 80 pp List price: $49.95	Many myths surround the 'Hyena Men' who haunt the peripheries of Nigeria's cities. Accompanied by hyenas, rock pythons and baboons, these men earn a living by performing before crowds and selling traditional medicines. Pieter Hugo's extraordinary portraits of their liminal existence reveal an uncanny world of complex, codependent relationships, where familiar distinctions between dominance and submission, wildness and domesticity, tradition and modernity are constantly subverted.
