Omizuao,
Masao Yamamoto
2003, Nazraeli Press
12" x 4", 96 pp.
List price: $100.00
|
"Omizuao
is an accordion-bound “pillow book” – a collection
of landscapes, flowers and female nudes. The artist has used the
accordion-bound format to create an installation which measures
some 14 feet when fully opened, but which can also be viewed as
45 individual spreads. Beautifully printed in process color on uncoated
art paper, Omizuao is hand bound in two clear-lacquered hardwood
covers, and presented in a matching wooden box. Many of the images
it includes were made specifically for this book, and are presented
here for the first time."
Printed in a limited edition of 1000, 52 four-color plates. |

A
Box of Ku,
Masao Yamamoto
10" x 8.75", 112 pp.
1998, Nazraeli Press
Listed price: $100.00
|
"This
monograph presents the mesmerizing, thoughtful work of Masao Yamamoto.
Preserving the fragility of the artist's work, A Box of Ku
explores the texture of Yamamoto's tattered and worn originals.
Its beautiful color illustrations, Italian papers, and slipcase
all make for a notable presentation, worthy of such an intriguing
artist." |

The White Casket,
Miwa Yanagi
2003, Nazraeli Press
13" x 12", 72 pp.
List price $85.00
|
"In The White Casket, Japanese
artist Miwa Yanagi has created a bizarre fantasy world inhabited
by department store “elevator girls.” In upscale Japanese
department stores, the elevator girl performs the role of a hostess,
directing customers to their destinations while lending an aura
of elegance to the shopping experience. The position of elevator
girl is a highly-prized one; those holding this position are selected
by management, and are expected to exude youth, innocence and
beauty. In The White Casket – the collective title
for the work as presented here – Yanagi takes advantage
of digital technology to create virtual spaces composed of elements
from several different locations, creating elaborate settings
in which the elevator girls live as “prisoners in paradise.”
Miwa Yanagi is a pioneer in contemporary photo-based art. Her
work is included in important public and private collections throughout
Japan, the US, and Europe. The White Casket documents
this well-known body of work in a large-format, beautifully-reproduced
monograph." - publisher

Introduction by Arthur Ollman.
"Max
Yavno, who died in 1985 at the age of 74, produced a remarkable
body of work identifiable by rich tonality, flattened perspective
(he put telephoto lenses to good use), and fine textural detail.
His prints are a testament to the craft of photography. On the
back of each are detailed guidelines as to how the print was made.
His subject matter ranged from documenting California's growth
and culture to later work taken in Israel, Egypt, and Morocco.
In these images are a classicist's love of beauty of surface,
detail, and gesture. This limited edition portfolio of seven stunning
11x14" reproductions comes complete with interleaving tissue
guards. " |

"As
The Sign of Life unfolds, Seino Yoshiko's remarkable vision
of contemporary Japanese landscapes is at once evident. In this
original collection of her photographs, we see a multitude of
contradictory elements which coexist in curious, uncharacteristic
harmony... In Japan, the effects of industrialization and expansion
are part of an accelerating trend begun in the late 19th century.
The 'harmony' of Seino's photographs, then, is by no means a celebration
in an innocent land: it is a harmony of a history of incongruities."—the
