	Jeff Wall: Photographs, Jeff Wall 2003, Steidl 10.5" x 10.2", 156 pp. List price: $50.00	"Trained as an art historian, Jeff Wall has been working for over 25 years on his expansive light boxes of staged scenes. These backlit photographic transparencies are set in cases generally associated with advertising display; but, instead of advertisements, Wall fills them with moments of everyday life that usually go unacknowledged: workers restoring a historic building, a janitor mopping a floor, a kitchen flooded with sunlight, the side of a house in the prairies. Carefully staged and meticulously composed, often over and over again until the perfect image has been achieved, Wall's images have explored a wide range of social and political themes, including urban violence, racism, poverty, gender and class conflicts, history, memory, and representation. Like the great French realist painters of the 19th century, Wall is, in the words of Charles Baudelaire, "a painter of modern life." - 28 color, 7 Tritone illustrations.

	Andy Warhol's Serial Photography, William Ganis 2004, Cambridge University Press 208 pgs. List price: $60.00	"From 1982 to 1987, Andy Warhol made 503 works composed of black-and-white photographic prints stitched together with thread. These works are indebted to his earlier repetitive silkscreen paintings and are also the result of lifelong photographic exploration and a prolific decade when the artist shot over 124,000 frames. This book is the first scholarly monograph to interpret Warhol's enigmatic photographic series. Contextualizing them within the history of photography and the art world of the 1980s, William Ganis demonstrates how Warhol manipulates the tenets of modern art photography to create ambiguity in the perception of the images. Subverting the objectivity of photography by making viewers aware of photographic mediation through multiples of images, Warhol paradoxically made unique objects in his many photographic series. They also form part of Warhol's media machinations, through which Warhol conflated and complicated painting, printmaking, drawing, and photography."

List price: $75.00	"Andy Warhol - Photography is the first book publication that pays tribute to the entire context of Andy Warhol's extensive photographic oeuvre.

	Andy Warhol: Headshots, Andy Warhol 2000, Jablonka Galerie 12.25" x 10", 80 pgs. (used copies available)	"A beautiful volume that sheds light on a less well-known part of Warhol's oeuvre, Andy Warhol: Headshots shows the artist turning his artistry and intelligence towards portrait-making. Like much of Warhol's best work, these snapshots play against a world of images and signatures where the authentic version of an individual is seemingly nonexistent."

	Carleton Watkins, Douglas Nickel 1999, Harry N. Abrams 11.75" x 10.79", 228 pgs. List price: $65.00	"Acknowledged as the foremost 19th-century American landscape photographer, Watkins (1829-1916) produced visual images of an American West that the Victorian populace had barely begun to imagine. Lugging cumbersome equipment, he captured the majesty of Yosemite, the Pacific Coast, the Columbia River, and other regions of the west including frontier towns that sprang forth from the mining and lumbering industries. In this companion to a touring exhibition, curator Nickel provides an enlightening reassessment of Watkins's remarkable artistry and the widespread popularity of his panoramic and stereographic pictures. Featured here are 105 full-page tritone plates (many of which have never been published before) whose scenic splendors prompted a national effort for environmental conservation. ..." - Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
	Carleton E. Watkins: Photographs, 1861-1874, Carleton Emmons Watkins 1989, Bedford Arts 219 pgs. (used copies available)	"This monograph of mammoth-plate albumen prints covers the birth and maturation of Watkins's landscape work during a 13-year period in the "golden age" of American wet-plate landscape photography. Included are images from his two Yosemite trips (1861 and 1865-66), plus images of the Pacific Coast, Columbia River, Oregon, and Utah, and of mines. With its excellent laser-enhanced reproductions and 18 newly discovered images, this study expands the coverage of Watkins's early work found in other books about this tireless photographer, who toted 2000 pounds of baggage and glass through the wilderness, saw much of his work destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake, and died nearly blind and penniless in a state hospital in 1916. This majestic selection of 111 albumen prints, reproduced by laser technology and including 18 never published before ..." - Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

	Crossings: Photographs from the U.S.-Mexico Border, 2003, The Monacelli Press 11.9" x 9.75", 144 pp. Alex Webb List price: $50.00 Amazon price: $35.00	"The United States–Mexico border is neither the United States nor Mexico; it is rather a "third country," ten miles wide and two thousand miles long, that lies in between. This borderland, split by the Rio Grande and the border fence, is a place of transience and crossings—of people and goods as well as of ideas and beliefs. Noted photo-journalist Alex Webb has spent decades covering the border. This collection of color images shows a terrain where cultural differences between the two countries are blurred, where industrialized efficiency meets spirituality, where wealth meets poverty, and all are transformed in the process. Webb's longtime friend and colleague Tom Miller explores the concept of the border as a third country and its transformation over the past decades."

	Branded Youth and Other Stories, Bruce Weber 1997, Bulfinch 11" x 8.72", 288 pgs. List price: $75.00	"Hand-lettered stories begin and end this thick album, and other writings, typeset, occupy a few other pages, but Weber's captivating photos overwhelm them. Suggesting at times news photography in the brutal manner of Weegee and at times self-conscious studio photography, Weber's usually black-and-white work combines a rough, warts-and-all effect and the firm smoothness of his preferred subjects, lean young men. Weber subscribes to the old saw "In youth is beauty" and makes us appreciate it even when the youths at hand are unshaven and unkempt (that "Branded Youth") or sweaty and grimacing, as in a kinetic suite of images from a wrestling training camp. This munificent collection also features many grungy (and a few glamorous) movie-and pop-star portraits; a color essay on Weber's old rancher-neighbor in Montana; montages of images culled directly from televised criminal trials; travelogues of Vietnam, South Africa, and Mississippi; portraits from a Boy Scout jamboree; and some amusing male nudes and seminudes."

	Naked City, Arthur Fellig, Weegee 1975, DeCapo Press 243 pgs. (used copies available)	The ultimate collection of Weegee's shocking tabloid photographs, from the ultimate tabloid city. For Naked City, his first collection, Weegee cruised the streets of 1940s New York in the wee hours in search of the sensational. Lewd, louche, licentious but always brimming with life (except when brimming with death), Weegee's photographs have endured decades of modern art criticism and are again enjoying a much-deserved cult revival. - Soft bound edition available - 2002, DaCapo Press, list price: $17.00

	Weegee's World, Arthur Fellig, Weegee 1997, Little Brown & Company 12.75" x 10", 256 pgs. (used copies available)	"A landmark [book] on the most celebrated news photographer of this century, Weegee's World features the work of this archetypal hard-bitten tabloid photographer, who was also a modern master of the art of photography. Born Usher Fellig (1899-1968), Weegee earned his name and reputation by always appearing first at major crime scenes, as if a Ouija board had led him to the spot. This major retrospective showcases the best of Weegee's jolting work from the 1930's to the 1960's-and captures bygone New York at its most raucous, dangerous, and outrageous. Here are Weegee's grisly murders, shocking accidents, gawking crowds, and other signature crime-and-disaster shots, along with his equally arresting human-interest and high-society images. Weegee's World contains more than 250 images, reproduced in duotone and chosen by Miles Barth, past curator at the International Center of Photography. Interpretive essays, an annotated chronology, a bibliography, a filmography, and a list of exhibitions complete this comprehensive volume."

	William Wegman Polaroids, William Wegman 2002, Harry N. Abrams 13.28" x 11", 232 pp. List price: $49.95	"Wegman's witty photographs of his weimaraner, Man Ray, were already the meat-and-potatoes of his artwork when he was called to check out an experimental Polaroid camera--and bring the dog along. Initially dubious about the 20-by-24-inch color images the behemoth produced, Wegman came to love it and made it the primary tool for his pictures of Man Ray and Man's successors, Fay Ray and members of two generations of her offspring, for the succeeding 24 years. He presents this splendid album of 230 of those pictures--some in black and white, thanks to a special film Polaroid eventually developed--as a summation of his long use of the camera, which is getting rickety (two of the five cameras made are hors de combat). The exceptionally detailed images the camera allows have been the primary reason Wegman has preferred it, and this volume's 10 1/2 -by-13-inch pages (about one-third the size of the originals) afford the best book experience ever of the exquisite results he got out of the ungainly thing."

	Spring Broke, Nathaniel Welch 2004, powerHouse Books 11" x 9", 120 pp List price: $35.00	Introduction by Evan Wright, text by Steve Appleford "Caligula would have understood the depraved decadence and desperate frenzy of spring break - American teens' annual pilgrimage to shimmering shores, where sex on the beach is as much an afternoon activity as it is a fruity cocktail. A festival of sun and sin, of tanned flesh and binge drinking, spring break attracts thousands of high school and college students, who wash up on Florida's shores like schools of breeding salmon, ready to indulge their insatiable apetites and hedonistic desires with total strangers. A native Floridian, photographer Nathaniel Welch has been documenting these rites of passage for four years - and has captured scenes of agony and ecstasy in Spring Broke, his first monograph. Whether it's partying at a kegger on the beach or engaging in group sex in the shower, entering a wet T-Shirt contest or passing out on the bathroom floor, these teens' uninhibited impulses are as absurd as they are disturbing. Yet Welch accepts, and even embraces, these raunchy rituals of extreme adolescence, alloing a strange sense of sadness to pervade. The morning after, broken spirits are left to reflect on their senseless acts, pack their bags, and head home." - 70 four-color photographs

	Cole Weston: Fifty Years, Cole Weston 1991, Gibbs Smith Publisher 12.75" x 11" (used copies available)	"Weston, who lives near Carmel, California, worked as his father Edward's assistant from about 1946 on, when the latter was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He printed his father's negatives from Edward's death in 1958 until 1988, when he began to devote full time to his own color photography. The results are presented in this first retrospective by a gifted teacher (he has conducted over 100 workshops in the United States and Europe) and a widely exhibited artist (having to his credit 60 shows since his first in 1971). About three-fourths of these 8 x 10 color negatives were exposed in the last five years and printed by Weston, who achieves an uncommon intensity of color (especially vibrant greens) not found in the work of his contemporaries. His photographs of seascapes, landscapes, nudes, industrial ruins, and flora and fauna capture design found in nature: line, form, pattern, light, and color. Weston's life experiences--as a parent, actor, director, sailor, aviator, and son and brother to more famous photographers--inform every image." - Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

	Portraits: Edward Weston, Edward Weston 1995, Aperture 11.67" x 9.94", 96 pgs. List price: $40.00	"Although revered for his vibrant still lifes and haunting California landscapes, Edward Weston spent the major part of his towering career, from 1917 to 1948, perfecting a standard of photographic portraiture that has rarely been surpassed. Weston's timeless images of the famous and fascinating presences who crowded the canvas of his free-spirited life-among them Robinson Jeffers, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti, Igor Stravinsky, James Cagney, Lincoln Steffens, D.H. Lawrence, Carl Sandburg, e.e. cummings, and Dorothea Lange-compromise a starting 70 percent of the photographer's oeuvre. Edward Weston Portraits is the first published collection of Edward Weston's most revealing portraits and shows the artist at his most inspired: "rendering the very substance, the deeper inner image" of sons, lovers, friends, and fellow artists with such commanding immediacy that they linger in the mind's eye long after viewing."
	Edward Weston: The Last Years in Carmel, Edward Weston 2001, Art Institute of Chicago 11" x 11.5", 144 pgs. (used copies available)	" This book appears in conjunction with an exhibition organized by The Art Institute of Chicago that focuses on the late work of photographer Edward Weston. Taken between1938 and 1948, these images reveal his shift from his formalist style, characterized by technological virtuosity and innovative compositions, to one that accommodated a greater psychological component. The first photographs of this period date from Weston's return to his spiritual home near Carmel, California, during his second Guggenheim fellowship. He now saw the surrounding coast with different eyes: while he had once focused on details and still lifes, he now found himself drawn to vistas, horizons, the movement of water, and moody atmospheres of elemental power. The seventy-plus photographs in this book, sumptuously printed in tritone reproductions, include--in addition to his images of nature--Weston's powerful portraits of his immediate family, as well as domestic scenes taken in and around his home. Also included is a critical essay exploring Weston's life and work during this period, by David Travis, Curator of Photography at the Art Institute and a longtime specialist in the career of Edward Weston." - 100 tritone illustrations.

"This lavish text-and-picture reconstruction of early-20th-century art photography icon Edward Weston and his work aligns him within the defining cultural dimension of the 1990s: human sensuality. "Weston's forms are nothing if not sensually motivated," writes Mora, the book's editor and one of five photography historians who here analyze unfolding phases of his artistic development. We are shown his commercial portraiture and pictorialism and the Stieglitz Photo-Secession, Group f.64's unmanipulated style, his "coherent whole" discovery in Mexico, an exploration and artistic transformation anew on Guggenheim grants and the pure-photography "eternalizing" and "objectification" of a universal subject, whether a seashell, a bell pepper ("reeks with sexuality") or the female form in seemingly limitless sensual variety. More than 50 nude studies are included." - Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

This collection of 175 photographs shot by Winogrand in a single year records an America in transition.

In it, Winogrand leaves the streets of the city for the caged aisles of the real urban jungle, the zoo, where he captures some of the more humiliating and strange moments in the lives of God's creatures. See a lion stick its tongue out between chain-link fencing, an orangutan pee into another's mouth, a hippo give a great big yawn, two lions lamely going at it, and seals watching lovers kiss. Winogrand's zoo, even if true, is a grotesquery. It is a surreal Disneyland where unlikely human beings and jaded careerist animals stare at each other through bars, exhibiting bad manners and a mutual failure to recognize their own ludicrous predicaments." --John Szarkowski Used copies available of the original 1968 edition of The Animals - Little Brown & Co.- contact us to inquire.

	Botanical Dances, Huntington Witherill 2001, Lenswork Publishing 10.87" x 12.35", 101pgs. List price: $65.00	"As a body of work, Huntington Witherill's botanical photographs are inventive, evocative, and charged with visual explorations. Although precedents can be seen in his previous work, the images portrayed within Botanical Dances represent a departure from Witherill's earlier approach of working on location in the landscape. Witherill placed source materials-flowers, ferns and other plants, both pressed by himself and obtained from others-against backgrounds of drawn, painted and textured surfaces of paper and stone, again, both self-created and obtained from other artists. His strategy was to combine plant forms with abstract fields to arrive at a new textural unity as well as a sensitive and often witty figurative expression."-the publisher. - 40 tritone illustrations
