Fashion

Items: Is Fashion Modern? Paola Antonelli and Michelle Millar Fisher Published to accompany the first major exhibition on fashion design at The Museum of Modern Art since 1944, Items: Is Fashion Modern? presents 111 iconic garments, footwear and accessories that have had a profound impact on global culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. The book examines the ways in which these items are designed, manufactured, distributed and used, while exploring the wide range of relationships between clothing and functionality, cultural etiquettes, aesthetics, politics and technology. It includes such transformative designs as the Levi’s 501 jeans, the pearl necklace, the sari, Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking, the Breton jumper, the kippah and the keffiyeh. Richly illustrated with historical and archival imagery as well as newly commissioned photography from Omar Victor Diop, Bobby Doherty, Catherine Losing, Monika Mogi and Kristin-Lee Moolman, Items reflects not only on fashion’s power and social history, but also on its design construct and staying power.

Between 1958 and 1960, Robert Rauschenberg made drawings for each of the thirty-four cantos, or sections, of Dante’s 14th-century poem Inferno by using a novel technique to transfer photographic reproductions from magazines or newspapers onto paper. The resulting drawings weave together meditations on public and private spheres, politics and inner life. Above all, they pay homage to creativity in dialogue: each drawing is a conversation with Dante across the centuries. This volume includes newly commissioned poems by Robin Coste Lewis and Kevin Young and an essay by MoMA curator Leah Dickerman that explores its making in depth. Leah Dickerman is The Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Kevin Young is Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the poetry editor at The New Yorker.

Interviews with Bourgeois’s primary assistant, with whom she worked for decades, as well as with a printer and a publisher, each of whom helped foster her creative engagement with the medium, provide insight into her working process. Deborah Wye is the Chief Curator Emerita of Prints and Illustrated Books at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Jerry Gorovoy is the president of The Easton Foundation, and was Bourgeois’ long-time assistant. The printer Felix Harlan collaborated with the artist from 1989 until the last year of her life.

Children’s

Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity! Sarah Suzuki Illustrated by Ellen Weinstein • Artwork by Yayoi Kusama This colourful children’s book tells the story of an artist whose work will not be complete until her dots cover the world, from here to infinity. Growing up in the mountains of Japan, Yayoi Kusama dreamed of becoming an artist. One day, she had a vision in which the world and everything in it – the plants, the people, the sky – was covered in polka dots. She began to cover her paintings, drawings, sculptures, and even her body with dots. As she grew up, she travelled all around the world and brought her dots with her, spreading them over big cities and small islands alike. Some people thought the dots were tiny, like cells, and others imagined them enormous, like planets. Yayoi said, ‘Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos. Polka dots are a way to infinity.’ Sarah Suzuki is a Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Ellen Weinstein is an award-winning illustrator whose books have been published by Scholastic and Simon & Schuster, among others.

Josef Albers in Mexico Lauren Hinkson with a text by Joaquin Barriendos “Mexico is truly the promised land of abstract art,” Josef Albers wrote to his former Bauhaus colleague Vasily Kandinsky in 1936. Josef Albers in Mexico reveals the profound link between the art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica and Albers’s abstract works on canvas and paper. With his wife, the artist Anni Albers, Albers toured pre-Columbian archeological sites and monuments during his twelve or more trips to Mexico and other Latin American countries between 1935 and 1968. On each visit, Albers took black-andwhite photographs, which he later assembled into rarely seen photo collages. The resulting works demonstrate Albers’s continued formal experimentation with geometry, this time accentuating a preColumbian aesthetic. This book brings together photographs, photo collages, prints, and significant paintings from the Variants/Adobe (1946-66) and Homage to the Square (1950–76) series from the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Anni and Josef Albers Foundation. Two scholarly essays, an illustrated map, and vivid color reproductions of paintings and works on paper illuminate this little-known period in the influential artist’s practice.

The Propaganda Front Postcards from the Era of World Wars Anna Jozefacka, Lynda Klich, Juliana Kreinik and Benjamin Weiss Millions of postcards intended to change minds and inspire actions circulated around the time of the two World Wars. Whether produced by governments, opportunistic publishers, aid organizations or resistance movements, postcards conveyed their messages with striking graphics, pithy slogans and biting caricatures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in a uniquely personal format. The more than 350 cards reproduced in this book advocate for political causes and celebrate war efforts on all sides of the major conflicts of the first half of the 20th century. The text shows how a ubiquitous form of communication served increasingly sophisticated campaigns in an age of propaganda, and highlights the postcards collected here as both priceless historical documents and masterworks of graphic design. Anna Jozefacka is a postdoctoral Fellow at the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Lynda Klich is Assistant Professor in the Department of Art & Art History and Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College, CUNY. Juliana Kreinik is an art and photography historian.

Kuniyoshi X Kunisada Sarah E. Thompson • Contributions by Masato Matsushima, Chika Kagami, Noriko Katsumori, Kazushi Kuroda, Yuiko Miwa and Akira Tsukahara

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Rival ukiyo-e masters Kuniyoshi and Kunisada were the two most admired designers of figure prints in 19th-century Japan. Famous for the realism of his portraits of Kabuki actors, the sensuality of his beautiful women and the luxurious settings he imagined for historical scenes, Kunisada was the popular favourite during his lifetime. Kuniyoshi is loved by connoisseurs and collectors today for his dynamic action scenes of warriors and monsters, his comic prints, and even a few especially daring works that included forbidden political satire in disguise. With scores of illustrations in glorious full colour, this beautifully produced volume presents Kuniyoshi and Kunisada’s artistic rivalry through a selection of outstanding works from the Japanese art collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Readers are invited to decide for themselves which of the two is their personal favourite. Sarah E. Thompson is Curator of Japanese Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Tattoos in Japanese Prints Sarah E. Thompson Many tattoo connoisseurs consider the Japanese tradition to be the finest in the world for its detail, complexity, and compositional skill. Its style and subject matter are drawn from the visual treasure trove of Japanese popular culture, in particular the colour woodblock prints of the early 19th century known as ukiyo-e. This book tells the fascinating story of how ukiyo-e first inspired tattoo artists as the pictorial tradition of tattooing in Japan was just beginning. It explores the Japanese tattooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolving meanings, from symbol of devotion to punishment and even to crime, and reveals the tales behind specific motifs. With lush, colourful images of flowers blooming on the arm of a thief, sea monsters coiling across the back of a hero, and legendary warriors battling on the chests of actors, the tattoos in these Japanese prints can offer the same vivid inspiration today as they did 200 years ago. Sarah E. Thompson is Curator of Japanese Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

René Magritte: The Revealing Image Xavier Canonne

£35.00 Hardback ISBN 978 9 491 819735 September 272pp 29.5 x 22.5 cm 350 illustrations

Ludion

In this richly illustrated book, Xavier Canonne dives into René Magritte’s photo and film archive, revealing a lesser-known side of the surrealist master. Discovered in the 1970s, this collection gives us access to a family album, an informal Magritte, from his childhood to the last years of his life. We see Magritte with his family, as a newly married man with his wife Georgette, and with his contemporaries in the Brussels Surrealist group. Spontaneous snapshots are complemented by posed scenes, including improvised tableaux with his fellow artists, parodies of famous films, portraits of Magritte at his easel, and staged photographs as models for his paintings. Images where the artist and his friends hide their faces or turn away from the camera particularly resonate with his paintings and his investigation of the ‘hidden visible’. This book demonstrates that Magritte’s photographs and home movies are so pervaded with his spirit that they are inseparable from his oeuvre of paintings. Xavier Canonne is Director of the Musée de la Photographie in Charleroi, Belgium.

Anthony Cragg Works in Five Volumes Works on Paper (Vol.1) Edited by Cragg Foundation • Introduction by André Buchmann

£48.00 Hardback ISBN 978 3 960 981169 July 420pp 28.5 x 22.0 cm 478 illustrations

Walther König

Over the past thirty years, Tony Cragg has created an impressive oeuvre of drawings and prints alongside his major sculptural works. Collected together here for the first time, the extensive and representative selection of images displays the diversity of styles and content in Cragg’s drawings, watercolours, gouaches and prints. With just a few dynamic lines, Cragg’s drawings and prints open our eyes to the contained forms in our surroundings and reveal unfamiliar spaces. Drawing allows him to visualise our complex, unseen world of sound waves, radio frequencies, wind currents and magnetic fields. Cragg often says that for him, drawing is a way of inventing descriptions of imperceptible processes. In his work, he expresses the emotion within and between things. The book concludes with an index which documents over 1,800 works, including the corresponding archive numbers, thus providing an almost exhaustive record of his works. Anthony Cragg is a noted British sculptor.

Becoming Henry Moore Edited by Hannah Higham Texts by Sebastiano Barassi, Tania Moore and Jon Wood Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Henry Moore Foundation, and accompanying an exhibition of the same name, Becoming Henry Moore tells the story of the artist’s creative journey between 1914 and 1930, from gifted schoolboy to celebrated sculptor. Sebastiano Barassi presents a lively account of Moore’s formative years, from his time at Castleford Secondary School, where his talent was first spotted, through his active service in the First World War and student life at Leeds School of Art, and culminating with his move to the Royal College of Art in London and subsequent entry into the world of contemporary sculpture. Richly illustrated with sculptures, drawings and photographs from his life, and including a chronology of the early years, this book shows the myriad influences at play as Henry Moore took his first steps on the path to becoming Britain’s foremost modern sculptor.

My All Sophie Calle Over the past thirty years, Sophie Calle has invited strangers to sleep in her bed, followed a man through the streets of Paris to Venice, hired a detective to spy on herself before providing a report of her day, taken a job as a chambermaid in a hotel to photograph guests’ personal belongings, asked blind people to tell her about the final image they remember, and chased down the ghosts of works stolen from museums and much more besides. In doing so, she has orchestrated small moments of life, establishing a game, then settings its rules, for herself and for others, while blurring the boundary between art and life. Although the lived experiences she stage-manages are methodically selected, she is not afraid of unveiling her failed love affairs and the exquisite pain of absence and its concomitant melancholy. This set of fifty postcards brings together Sophie Calle’s best known works. Sophie Calle is the author, narrator and character of her stories and photographic scenes.

Cultureshock Media

This book tells the story of the modern memorial created by Jeremy Deller to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here’ occurred across the UK on 1 July 2016. Throughout the day, some 1,600 volunteers, all men, dressed in replica World War I British army uniforms, appeared in groups at railway stations, shopping centres and other places. Each volunteer represented an individual soldier who died on the first day of the battle. When approached, they did not speak, but instead handed cards to members of the public, bearing the name, age and regiment of the person they represented. Deller described these cards as ‘like small tombstones’. From time to time, the volunteers would sing the refrain ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here...’, as sung in the trenches before the battle. This book is an important record of one of the largest arts participation projects ever staged in the UK. Jeremy Deller is an English conceptual, video and installation artist. Rufus Norris is the Artistic Director of the National Theatre.

This lively book unpacks the elements of narrative into a fun and useful toolkit, bringing together principles from literary criticism, narratology, cognitive science, semiotics, phenomenology and critical theory to show how visual communication mobilizes instinctive biological processes as well as social norms and conventions. It uses 250 illustrations to actively engage readers in the process of looking and understanding, and is written with a sense of humour and a respect for the readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and intelligence.

Charles and Ray Eames are among the most influential designers of the 20th century. Enthusiastic and tireless experimenters, this beloved husband-and-wife duo moved fluidly between the fields of photography, film, architecture, exhibition-making and furniture and product design. The Eames Office was a hub of activity where the Eameses and their collaborators produced an array of pioneering designs, communicating their ideas with a boundless creativity that defined their careers. The Eameses embraced the joy of trial and error and approached design as a way of life. From personal letters, photographs, drawings and artwork, to their products, models, multimedia installations and furniture, Essential Eames includes not only some of the designs for which they are best known, but provides an insight into the lives of the Eameses, the Eames Office and the breadth of their pioneering work, bringing their ideas and playful spirit to life. Eames Demetrios is Director of the Eames Office. Carla Hartman is Director of Education at the Eames Office.

The Eames Furniture Sourcebook Mateo Kries and Jolanthe Kugler American designers Charles Eames (1907–78) and Ray Eames (1912–88) are celebrated for their groundbreaking work in furniture, architecture, exhibitions, graphic design, toys and film. Their molded plywood chair was called ‘the chair of the century’ by the famous architecture critic Esther McCoy. Through models, material studies, prototypes and production examples of the Eames estate held at the Vitra Design Museum, this publication reconstructs the genesis of the most relevant furniture designs by Charles and Ray Eames and sheds light on their influence on the development of new and innovative materials. New insights into the thought processes and work practices of this legendary couple are revealed, designers whose work was driven by philosophical ideals that privileged knowledge, discovery and discipline, and embraced the potential of technology and science for the common good. Mateo Kries is the Director of the Vitra Design Museum. Jolanthe Kugler is a curator at the Vitra Design Museum.

Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain

Junya Ishigami (b. 1974) established his architecture practice junya.ishigami+associates (Tokyo) in 2004. Some of his large-scale projects include the Kanagawa Institute of Technology (Japan); the restoration of Moscow’s Polytechnic Museum and its transformation into a garden-museum; and the design of the House of Peace for the city of Copenhagen. In his architectural works, which he compares to clouds, landscapes or forests, Ishigami eliminates the boundaries between exterior and interior space. He draws inspiration from nature, lending a dreamlike quality to his work. This book accompanies Ishigami’s exhibition at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris, which reveals, on an unprecedented scale, his latest research into freedom, fluidity and the future of architecture. It traces the genesis of the project, and includes photographs, drawings, models, and all the poetry of the work of Ishigami. Junya Ishigami is a Japanese architect.

Neues Museum Berlin David Chipperfield Architects in collaboration with Julian Harrap Photographs by Candida Höfer This book documents David Chipperfield’s most important project to date: the Neues Museum, centrepiece of the Berlin Museumsinsel. Photographs by Candida Höfer, perfectly reproduced in the book as matt colour plates, show the rooms after their completion and before they were furnished. Höfer’s photographs are complemented by texts from well-known architects, architectural historians and art historians: Kenneth Frampton responds to Chipperfield’s architectural interventions, and Joseph Rykwert describes the fragmented history ‘of which this building is evidence, thanks to its manifold layers’. An interview with David Chipperfield by Wolfgang Wolters discusses the problems and questions that the restoration posed, and Thomas Weski takes a closer look at Candida Höfer’s photography. A chronology offers an overview of the history of the building, the request for proposals for its reconstruction and the restoration itself. David Chipperfield established his eponymous architectural practice in 1984. The practice has won over forty competitions and many international awards and citations for design excellence, including RIBA, RFAC & AIA awards and the Stirling Prize 2007.

Architecture / History

Dwelling Five Years’ Work on the Problem of Housing Moisei Ginzburg Moisei Ginzburg (1892–1946) was the founder of the Organisation of Contemporary Architects (OSA) group and lead architect behind the first Constructivist building ever built – the Narkomfin building in Moscow (completed in 1932), which is currently being restored by the architect’s grandson, Alexei Ginzburg. As part of this project, Ginzburg Design Ltd has initiated the publication of Moisei’s four seminal works on architecture and the built environment. The third of these, Dwelling, is now published in English for the first time, in a facsimile of the original Russian edition. Published in 1934, Dwelling was written just two years after the completion of the Narkomfin building and provides a fascinating insight into the architect’s ideas about creating new housing for the socialist city, communal living and the use of new materials and technologies. Moisei Ginzburg was an architect, theorist, teacher and a leader of the Constructivist group in Soviet avant-garde architecture.

1917: The Year that Changed the World The Russian Revolution through Eyewitness Accounts Mikhail Zygar • Editors: Karen Shainyan, Andrey Borzenko, Mikhail Degtyarev, Serafim Orekhanov, Yuri Saprykin and Victoria Malyutina Here is a dramatic and compelling account of Russia’s revolutionary year as told by those who lived through it. The book consists entirely of primary sources, taken from letters, memoirs, diaries and other documents of the period, accompanied by remarkable images, many previously not published. The story is told through several chapters that reveal the ebb and flow of events over the year, from increasing disillusionment with the monarchy to revolutionary fervour after the abdication of Nicholas II, then the gradual unravelling of the Provisional Government, and eventually the ‘Great October’ that brought the Bolsheviks to power. There were many who thought that Russia’s second revolution would also be short-lived, but it was the decisive moment in a year that influenced the entire course of the 20th century, as this book vividly demonstrates. Mikhail Zygar, founder and director of Project1917, is a journalist and former editor-in-chief of the only independent TV station in Russian, TV Rain (Dozhd).

Christopher Herwig has an insatiable appetite for ‘Soviet Bus Stops’. After the popular and critical success of his first book, Herwig has returned to the former Soviet Union to hunt for more. In this second volume, as well as discovering new stops in the remotest areas of Georgia and Ukraine, Herwig turns his camera to Russia itself. The diversity of architectural approaches is staggering: juxtaposed alongside a slew of audacious modern and brutal designs, there are bus stops shaped as trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles, even a bus stop incorporating a statue of St George slaying the dragon. A foreword by Owen Hatherley examines the government policy that allowed these ‘small architectural forms’ to flourish. He explains how they reflected Soviet values, and how ultimately they remained – despite their incredible individuality – far-flung outposts of Soviet ideology. An essential companion to the first volume, this book provides a valuable document of these important and previously overlooked constructions. Christopher Herwig is a Canadian photographer and videographer. Owen Hatherley is a British writer and journalist who writes primarily on architecture, politics and culture.

Looking for Lenin Niels Ackermann and Sébastien Gobert Edited by Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell

FUEL

The most dramatic demonstration of Ukraine’s determination to achieve decommunization is the phenomenon of Leninopad (Lenin-fall) – the toppling of Lenin statues. In 2015 the Ukrainian parliament passed legislation banning these monuments as symbols of the obsolete Soviet regime. From an original population of 5500 in 1991, today not a single Lenin statue remains standing in Ukraine. Niels Ackermann and Sébastien Gobert have scoured the country in search of the remains of these toppled figures. They find them in the most unlikely of places: Lenin inhabits gardens, scrap yards and store rooms. He is cut into pieces; daubed with paint in the colours of the Ukrainian flag; transformed into a Cossack or Darth Vader… Despite these attempts to reduce their status, the statues retain a sinister quality, resisting all efforts to separate them from their history. These compelling images are combined with witness testimonies that reveal how Ukrainians perceive their country, and how they are grappling with their Soviet legacy to conceive a new future. Niels Ackermann is a photojournalist and founding member of the photography agency Lundi13. Sébastien Gobert is a Ukraine-based correspondent for various media.

Holidays in Soviet Sanatoriums Maryam Omidi • Editors: Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell Originally conceived in the 1920s, Soviet sanitoriums afforded workers a place to holiday, courtesy of a state-funded voucher system. At their peak they were visited by millions of citizens across the USSR every year. A combination of medical institution and spa, the sanatoriums are among the most innovative buildings of their time. Sanatorium breaks were intended to edify and strengthen visitors – health professionals carefully monitored guests throughout their stay, so they could return to work with renewed vigour. While today some sanatoriums are in critical states of decline, many are still fully operational and continue to offer their Soviet-era treatments to visitors. Using specially commissioned photographs by leading photographers of the post-Soviet territories, and texts by sanatorium expert Maryam Omidi, this book documents over thirtynine sanatoriums and their unconventional treatments. From Armenia to Uzbekistan, it represents the most comprehensive survey to date of this fascinating and previously overlooked Soviet institution.

Russian folk tales have a timeless, slightly unworldly quality that children, and those who read to them, find particularly appealing. This is Fontanka’s second book of folk tales with illustrations by the artist Elena Polenova, with stories that are possibly even more beguiling than those in Why the Bear. The same team that produced the first book is responsible for Synko-Filipko too: the translator Dr Louise Hardiman, the descendent of the artist, Natalia Polenova, and the designer Christoph Stolberg. The book is designed to be a companion to the first, with the same quarter binding, and individually coloured chapters. Elena Polenova, sister of the landscape artist Vasily Polenov, was a leading figure in the Russian craft revival in the 1890s. She took traditional folk patterns and developed them into fashionable designs for handmade wooden furniture which was produced by rural people and sold in Moscow boutiques. She was also a talented watercolourist, textile designer and illustrator of children’s fairy-tales. She died in 1898 aged 48. Louise Hardiman is an art historian and specialist in Russian art, design and culture.

GingerNutz The Jungle Memoir of a Model Orangutan Illustrated by Michael Roberts • Afterword by Grace Coddington Michael Roberts’s charming text and hand drawn illustrations tell the story of GingerNutz, an orangutan born in the wilds of Borneo who has dreams of making it big in the fashion world. One day while playing on the beach, the ten year old GingerNutz finds a bottle washed up on the shore containing a copy of Vogue magazine. Entranced by its glamorous images, the precocious primate sets her mind to becoming a high fashion model. Unlikely as it may seem, she encounters other likeminded jungle creatures – the creative orangutan duo Dolce and Grubbana, a haughty and chic silverback gorilla – who together create their own hyper-stylish coterie, and GingerNutz fulfils her dream of sashaying down the runway. The story of GingerNutz was inspired by Grace Coddington, the longtime creative director of American Vogue and a close friend of the author. The book contains 65 hand drawn illustrations that vividly depict the colourful Bornean fashion community. Michael Roberts is the fashion and style director of Vanity Fair. Grace Coddington is the creative director of American Vogue.

Overlooked by Etna – the highest volcano in Europe – Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, has always excited interest because of its strategic position and rich land. Over the centuries, Sicily has come under various rulers and has had a fertile history: Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Norman, Byzantine and now Italian. It is a model of architectural diversity and cosmopolitanism, with Roman villas, baroque palaces, medieval castles and Islamic vestiges. This book proudly unveils the many facets of Sicily, through its architecture as well as scenes from daily life. Fabrice Moireau spent weeks walking the landscapes of Sicily with his palette and his brushes to depict this land of mountains and lava, of sand and grapevine. Fabrice Moireau has illustrated many publications in Editions Didier Millet’s Sketchbook series, including Paris Sketchbook, Rooftops of Paris, Loire Valley Sketchbook, Provence Sketchbook, Venice Sketchbook and New York Sketchbook.

‘I create my body and its image, therefore I am. Ecce Homo’ Martial Cherrier Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Maison européenne de la photographie, this new book by renowned French photographer Martial Cherrier presents his new series Body ergo sum. For years, Cherrier’s body and body image have been as one. The bodybuilder’s body, images of bodybuilding – one body, multiple images. Having depicted the body in its glorified, evolving, damaged and aging state, he has created a new aesthetic – an aesthetic situated in the environment of dreams and imagery from his youth. His self-portrait is complex, composite, contextual, conditioned. Like Nietzsche’s superman, Martial Cherrier invents a world shaped by the desire to worship a glorious and deified body. Martial Cherrier (b. 1968) has lived and worked in Paris since 1991. He was the bodybuilding champion of France in 1997. Cherrier’s powerful photographic and video work reflects on his career as a professional bodybuilder and the notion of the body within contemporary society, resulting in an uncensored art that blends with his life.

Plenty of ‘alternative facts’ about Sweden have been shared recently, most notably when, in February, Donald Trump made a headscratching reference to ‘what happened last night in Sweden’. Many of the opinions shared about Sweden are fuelled by ignorance or form the basis of a hidden agenda, and come from people who have never been to Sweden. Swedish photographers now want to set the record straight – telling the true story of what really happened in Sweden last night. A collection of brilliant, diverse and award-winning photo-journalists have been commissioned to document everyday life all over Sweden. The photos encapsulate a true and candid Sweden, and include all the little moments that rarely make the news. Petter Karlsson is an award-winning writer with more than 30 books to his name. He is best-known for humorous and precise narratives on everyday life.

Nick Veasey: Inside Out Nick Veasey ‘We live in a world obsessed with Image. What we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars… I like to counter this obsession with superficial appearance by using x-rays to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface. Often the integral beauty adds intrigue to the familiar. We all make assumptions based on the external visual aspects of what surrounds us and we are attracted to people and forms that are aesthetically pleasing. I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising, inner beauty’ Nick Veasey Human activity and everyday objects are shown in an entirely new light in this highly unusual photo book. Nick Veasey uses X-ray technology to depict daily life and the result is amusing, overwhelming – and sometimes slightly disturbing. While most artists claim to delve beneath the surface of their subjects, none has got to the core of our being in quite the way that Nick Veasey has managed.

Natten Margot Wallard In 2012 Margot Wallard moved to Sweden with her partner, the photographer JH Engström, to a hamlet in the back of beyond. Experiencing an overwhelming need to turn the lens on herself, she took refuge in nature and started a new project Natten. The forest became a place of resistance, somewhere where she could give free rein to that part of herself that does not cheat. Long exposures gave the shutter sufficient time to etch onto the film the movements of the soul. Besides being her own model, she scanned the things around her – animal, vegetable or mineral. By using the means of recording reality in its purest expression, she found a different way of coming to grips with it. The space she leaves between the camera and herself is also the space she puts between the spectator and her image. The project was exhibited in Landskrona Foto Festival, Sweden and also shortlisted for The Source-Cord Prize in 2014. Margot Wallard has published several books, including three with her partner JH Engström. In 2012 they founded the Atelier Smedsby, a one-year workshop based in Paris that drew participants from all over the world.

Sunlight plays a pivotal role in this sequence of pictures, as it pierces through the canopies of branches and leaves to reveal the hidden shapes and structure of the forest and the well-trodden path ahead. Shadows, too, are prominent in these images, adding gentle drama and contrast; they occlude the way forward, rendering it a portal to a destination unknown. These photographs, made between 2012 and 2013, constitute a lyrical meditation on walking and the natural world. Thomas Zander is the owner of the Galerie Thomas Zander in Cologne.

Manhattan Transit The Subway Photographs of Helen Levitt Edited by Marvin Hoshino and Thomas Zander In 1938, Helen Levitt (1913–2009) accompanied Walker Evans on a project to photograph passengers on the New York subway. Soon she was taking her own pictures. More empathetic and informal than Evans, Levitt’s finest photographs are the product of her willingness to participate as a fellow citizen, not as a photographer setting herself apart. The disarming ease of Levitt’s pictures quickly accrues into an undeniably singular attitude to both the medium and the world. Around 1978 – four decades after her first foray – Levitt returned to the New York subway, by which time public behaviour on the subway was visibly less formal. She seems to have picked up exactly where she had left off in 1938, but in general her photography was even less restricted, more in keeping with her looser street photographs. This is the most comprehensive publication of Helen Levitt’s photographs from the New York subway, many of which are published here for the first time.

This book presents Taryn Simon’s photographs of and material sourced from the New York Public Library’s image archive, exquisitely presented as mounted and tipped-in plates. Taryn Simon meticulously re-sorted the Library’s archive, pulling out images from various categories to reveal the often arbitrary ways humans categorize images. She photographed over 200 documents and letters of correspondence about the library’s operations, dramas and inner workings. This publication also offers a new perspective on some of the great 20th-century artists, as she responds to previously unseen archival material, photographs and correspondence by such artists as Diego Rivera, Lewis Hine, Paul Strand and Walker Evans. It includes an essay by Tim Griffin, former editor of Artforum magazine and current Executive Director and Chief Curator at The Kitchen, New York. Taryn Simon is a multidisciplinary artist who works in photography, text, sculpture, and performance.

William Henry Fox Talbot and the Promise of Photography Dan Leers • Contributions by Larry Schaaf This beautiful publication serves as a primer on the work of William Henry Fox Talbot, a true interdisciplinary innovator who drew on his knowledge of art history, botany, chemistry and optics to become one of the inventors of photography in 1839. Talbot’s ‘photogenic drawings’ (photograms), calotypes and salted paper prints are some of the first ever examples of images captured on paper. Accompanying an exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh opening in November 2017, this book brings together approximately thirty photographs by Talbot, some of which have never been published. Through thematic groupings elucidated by noted Talbot scholar Larry Schaaf, the book reveals the photographer’s early striving to test the boundaries of his medium at a historic moment when art and science intersected. Dan Leers is Curator of Photography at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh. Larry J. Schaaf is the Director of the William Henry Fox Talbot Catalogue Raisonné.

Since its invention, the automobile has reshaped our landscape, extended our geographic horizons and radically altered our conception of space and time, influencing the practice of photographers worldwide. Autophoto shows how the car provided photographers with new subject matter and a new way of exploring the world. It brings together 500 works made by 100 artists from around the world, including Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Man Ray, Lee Friedlander and Jacqueline Hassink. Capturing formal qualities such as the geometric design of roadways or reflections in a rear-view mirror, these photographers invite us to look at the world of the automobile in a new way. Autophoto also includes other projects such as a series of car models that cast a fresh eye on the history of automobile design, plus a history of automobile design and photography, essays by scholars and quotes by participating artists. Nancy W. Barr is Curator of Photography Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit. Clément Chéroux is Chief Curator at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Simon Baker is a curator at Tate Modern.
