From Larry Fink on Composition and Improvisation in The Photography Workshop series

Welcome to Aperture’s new catalog, presenting our projects for Spring and Summer 2014 and focusing in particular on our new books.

An educational purpose has underscored our publishing programs since Aperture began, but this season, with The Photographer’s Playbook and the first two titles in our new The Photography Workshop series, we’re focused on launching a new range of books aimed at everyone who wants to improve their photographic skills and vision. Working with the best contemporary photographers, alongside our in-person workshops and other education programs, we set out to inspire. We invite all photography enthusiasts to take their interest to the next level.

Another new development this season is the introduction, in July, of our annual Summer Open exhibition. With this and our new membership programs, we are opening Aperture’s doors for more photographers, and others who share a passion for photography, to participate in our programs. Please join us!

—Chris Boot, executive director

“This [work] suggests that the story of New York, or Mr. Pillsbury’s New York, is not so much about its overactive residents as it is about architecture and infrastructure—which is to say, the city itself.” —New York Times

City Stages

Photographs by Matthew Pillsbury

Aperture exhibition, February 20–March 27, 2014 City Stages offers a paean to the craft and visionary potential of large-format, black-and-white photography, as well as to the vibrancy of the cultural landscape at a transitional moment—a moment in which our very relationship to that landscape is increasingly mediated by omnipresent screens. Working with black-and-white, 8-by-10 film and long exposures, Pillsbury captures a range of psychologically charged experiences in the urban environment. This exhibition is produced in collaboration with Bonni Benrubi Gallery. See page 37 for details of the accompanying book.

The definitive last project by “the man who changed Japanese photography forever.” —the Guardian

Chewing Gum and Chocolate

Photographs and texts by Shomei Tomatsu Edited by Leo Rubinfien and John Junkerman Essay by Leo Rubinfien

Shomei Tomatsu created one of the defining portraits of postwar Japan. In the late 1950s, Tomatsu began to photograph the American bases in Japan, focusing on the seismic impact of the American victory and occupation: uniformed American soldiers carousing in red-light districts; foreign children at play; and emerging protests to the ongoing American military presence. He originally named this series Occupation, but later retitled it Chewing Gum and Chocolate to reflect the handouts given to Japanese kids by the soldiers—sugary and addictive, yet ultimately lacking in nutritional value. This legendary body of work has never before been gathered together in a single volume. The work is contextualized by Tomatsu’s own writings and an essay by photographer and curator Leo Rubinfien.

Announcing a new and innovative series

The Photography Workshop Series Photography deepens our connections to the world around us, to ourselves, and to one another. In this new series, Aperture works with the world’s top photographers, many of whom also teach, to publish their core thinking on photography—making their experience, insight, and knowledge accessible to a wider audience. Each title will provide an essential primer on the photographer’s area of expertise and creative process. Key practices are presented in their own words, along with answers to common questions. Commentary accompanies fifty photographs—iconic images by each featured photographer as well as key images by others that have influenced their thinking and work. Both individually and collectively, the books in the series each function as a “workshop in a book,” serving as an indispensable tool for students, teachers, and everyone who wants to take better pictures or learn to look at them in a more informed way.

The first two books in the series include Larry Fink on Composition and Improvisation and Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb on Street Photography and the Poetic Image, to be followed with titles by Rinko Kawauchi, Todd Hido, Dawoud Bey, and Mary Ellen Mark.

Larry Fink

Alex Webb

Go beyond taking mundane pictures and break through to create images that convey your vision and feelings about the subject or setting

Larry Fink

Larry Fink on Composition and Improvisation Larry Fink, celebrated photographer and teacher, explores the relationship between composing a photograph and improvising with the scene at hand, in creating images with both feeling and meaning. Drawing from his teaching experience, Fink combines advice, expertise, and stories that reveal his own creative process. He covers a variety of topics essential to photographers of all levels, including how to sharpen your photographic perception; maximize the frame to create layered compositions; use the technical aspects of photography as emotional tools; and both anticipate a composition coming together and be responsive to the moment. Throughout, Fink provides insight on how to align your photography practice with intuition, emotions, and what’s unfolding in the world in front of the camera.

“Richard Renaldi’s photographs, once seen, are hard to put out of mind. The stories they evoke have a depth echoing beyond the brief encounters that occasioned them.” —Teju Cole

Touching Strangers Photographs by Richard Renaldi Introduction by Teju Cole Since 2007, Richard Renaldi has been working on a series of photographs that involve asking complete strangers to physically interact while posing together for a portrait. Working on the street with a large-format, 8-by-10-inch view camera, Renaldi encounters his subjects in towns and cities all over the United States and invites them to pose together, intimately, in ways that people are usually taught to reserve for their close friends and loved ones. Renaldi creates spontaneous and fleeting relationships between strangers for the camera, often pushing his subjects beyond their comfort levels. The resulting photographs (along with an introduction by award-winning author Teju Cole) raise profound questions about the possibilities for positive human connection in a diverse society. For more details about the Touching Strangers exhibition, please see page 7.

Seductive and provocative nudes in a beautifully produced, limited-edition artist‘s book

Other Rooms

Photographs by Jo Ann Callis

Other Rooms, the first publication to feature Jo Ann Callis’s mid-1970s investigation of the nude body and sexuality, is a revelation; the work is provocative, seductive, and remarkably fresh. Callis photographs her models nude, frequently in close proximity, and in anonymous and mysterious settings. The artist’s playful, evocative use of constrictions and overlays on the human form, including twine, belts, tape, and other everyday materials, is both humorous and fraught, offering an intensely personal assessment of the variable meanings of pleasure, eros, and the female nude as a staple of fine art photography. The photographs in Other Rooms are at once beautiful and discomfiting, delicate and raw, mysterious and thoughtful, and confirm Callis’s important place in the history of 1970s photography.

Bernard Plossu in México Photographs by Bernard Plossu

Edited by Salvador Albiñana and Juan García de Oteyza Copublished with Fundación Televisa Bernard Plossu is one of the best-loved French photographers working in the reportage tradition of the 1960s and ’70s. For more than fifteen years, Plossu took extended trips to Mexico to photograph people, landscapes, and a culture in flux. ¡Vámonos!

Along with more than three hundred photographs, organized into chapters representing each of his Mexican journeys, this first compilation of Plossu’s Mexican work includes an essay by prominent French photo editor Claude Nori that highlights Plossu’s vagabond spirit. Additional commentaries are provided by renowned writers, including Salvador Albiñana, Emmanuel Guigon, Francisco Salinas, Alfonso Morales, and José Agustín.

“. . . one of the great photography books of our time.” —the New Republic

Immediate Family Photographs by Sally Mann

Afterword by Reynolds Price First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential. Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann’s extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family, yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann’s pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child’s simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy—the holding on and the breaking away. In print continuously since its release, this reissue features new reproductions from master duotone separator Robert Hennessey, rendered with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.

“David Levi Strauss talks about what has been forgotten, what is being systematically erased, and what we need to remember for tomorrow.” —John Berger

Words Not Spent Today Buy Smaller Images Tomorrow Essays on the Past and Future of Photography

by David Levi Strauss

Words Not Spent Today is an incisive exploration of photography’s changing role as a tool of evidence and conscience as we move forward into—can we say it?—a post-photographic era. In the course of twenty-five essays David Levi Strauss, eminent author, critic, and teacher, discusses the work of artists who provoke us with revealing, clear-eyed investigations of the ostensibly patent world, and others who transport us to new realms—creative minds ranging from Frederick Sommer, Helen Levitt, Daido Moriyama, and Joseph Beuys, to contemporary photographers Sally Mann, James Nachtwey, Susan Meiselas, and Tim Davis. Also considered are the groundbreaking writings of Susan Sontag and Jean-Luc Nancy, the films of Chris Marker and Stan Brakhage, and events that have altered the way we consider the medium of photography and how it communicates: 9/11, Abu Ghraib, the death of Osama bin Laden, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street.

“The Ballad of Sexual Dependancy is the diary I let people read.“ —Nan Goldin

The Ballad of Sexual Dependency Photographs by Nan Goldin

The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends, family, and lovers—collectively described by Nan Goldin as her “tribe.” Since its first publication in 1986, the influence of Ballad on photography and other aesthetic realms has continually grown, making the work a contemporary classic. Through an accurate and detailed record of her life, Ballad reveals Goldin’s personal odyssey as well as a more universal understanding of the different languages men and women speak, and the struggle between autonomy and dependency. This new paperback edition has been printed using new scans and separations created by Robert Hennessey from Goldin’s original transparencies, rendering them with unparalleled sumptuousness and impact.

JAMES WELLING MONOGRAPH

Lauded by photographers, artists, and critics for his influence on the contemporary generation of art photographers, James Welling has created beautiful and uncompromising photographs for over thirtyfive years. Operating in the hybrid ground between painting, sculpture, and traditional photography, Welling is first and foremost a photographic practitioner enthralled with the possibilities of the medium.

James Welling: Monograph provides the most thorough presentation of the artist’s work to date, offering an indispensible resource for those interested in this artist’s remarkable, foundational practice.

Since the mid-1970s, Welling’s work has fluidly explored a mercurial set of issues and ideas: the tenets of realism and transparency, abstraction and representation, optics and description, personal and cultural memory, and the material and chemical nature of photography. To date, the artist has been the subject of numerous catalogs addressing more than twenty-five individual bodies of work—Welling’s “substantive investigation of the spectrum of abstract to figurative,” as one curator has described it. Yet no book has appeared with the ambition of linking these bodies of work together by examining the primary threads that run through them all. That is, until now.

James Welling: Monograph presents over 250 images, including important early and iconic works from the 1970s to the present.

James Crump, chief curator of the Cincinnati Art Museum, contributes an extensive introductory essay; this volume also includes an interview with the artist by Eva Respini and additional essays by Mark Godfrey and Thomas Seelig.

COLOR RUSH

Prior to joining the Art Institute, she worked for the J. Paul Getty Museum and Clark Art Institute.

COLOR RUSH

American Color Photography from Stieglitz to Sherman

By Katherine A. Bussard & Lisa Hostetler

COLOR RUSH American Color Photography from Stieglitz to Sherman

Today color photography is so ubiquitous that it’s hard to believe there was a time when this was not the case. Color Rush: American Color Photography from Stieglitz to Sherman explores the developments that led us to this point, looking at the way color photographs circulated and appeared at the time of their making.

From magazine pages to gallery walls, from advertisements to photojournalism, Color Rush charts the history of color photography in the United States from the moment it became available as a mass medium to the moment when it no longer seemed an unusual choice for artists. The book begins with the !"#$% &'()*+*',% -. % /&0-123-4)5% 02)% 6370% 1-44)31*/++8% /(/*+/9+)% color process, and continues up through the 1981 landmark survey show and book, The New Color Photography, which hailed the widespread acceptance of atography captured the popular imagination through its visibility in magazines like Life and Vogue, as well as through its accessibility in the marketplace thanks to companies like Kodak. Often in photo histories color is presented as having arrived fully formed in the 1970s; this book reveals a deeper story and uncovers connections in both artistic and commercial practices. A comprehensive chronology /':% );/4<+)7% -. % 7*,'*61/'0% 4-4)'07% /':% 4-()4)'07% 4/3=% the increasing visibility of color photography. Color Rush brings together Ansel Adams and William Eggleston, Eliot Porter and Cindy Sherman, Edward Steichen and Stephen Shore, and examines them in a fresh context paying particular attention to color photography’s translation onto the printed page. In doing so, it traces a new history that more fully accounts for color’s pervasive presence today.
