Olaf Otto Becker- Under the Nordic Light- A Journey Through Time- Iceland 1999-2011

Olaf Otto Becker: Under the Nordic Light: A Journey Through Time: Iceland 1999-2011 - $1,245

21 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

For more than ten years, German photographer Olaf Otto Becker (born 1959) has trawled the Arctic and far northern regions with his large-format camera in search of primordial landscapes. Becker’s photographs attain the most sublime effects of which photography is capable, recording landscapes unscathed by human habitation, but very much affected by its consequences. Under the Nordic Light contains both new and previously published photographs of Iceland. “When I arrived in Iceland for the first time, I was deeply impressed by the […]

Chris Marker: Passengers - $1,525

30 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“Tabloids love to catch people unaware,” writes the legendary film auteur Chris Marker (born 1921) in his introduction to this beautiful volume of new photographs. “My aim is exactly-small wonder-the opposite of tabloids. I try to give them their best moment, often imperceptible in the stream of time, sometimes 1/50 of a second that makes them truer to their inner selves.” Passengers accordingly portrays the private reveries and absent-minded gestures that can be seen every day on the Paris Métro (and by […]

 Esopus 17

Esopus 17 - $295

30 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Twice-yearly Esopus features contributions from a cross-section of creative disciplines presented with minimal editorial “framing” and no advertising. Each issue includes three contemporary artists‘ projects–one by an established artist (past contributors have included Richard Tuttle, Jenny Holzer and Robert Therrien) and two by emerging figures. Previous projects have taken the form of removable posters, fold-outs and hand-assembled sculptures, and have often utilized complex printing processes, unique paper stocks and special inks. Along with a sampling of short plays, visual essays, poetry and […]

Andrew Moore: Cuba - $995

29 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

   American photographer Andrew Moore began photographing in Cuba in 1998, and over the next fourteen years he made ten further visits, working to reveal the many facets of the island’s unique character and life. In 2002, he published some of this work in Inside Havana, which is now out of print. This new edition includes many of Moore’s older classic images but reconceives its predecessor with a new layout and finer, larger reproductions. Cuba also features many older photographs never previously published, […]

The Wrong Side - $495

19 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

In 2008 the photographer Jérôme Sessini started the Mexican project: a dive into the drug cartel war in Mexico. This compelling reportage, lasting two years, is a valuable document about the most dangerous cities in the country: Culiacán, Tijuana, and especially, Ciudad, Juárez. In 2010 this work was awarded with the F Award for Concerned Photography, “Jérôme Sessini’s ongoing exploration of drug-related violence in Mexico at the US border is remarkable for its sustained engagement with an increasingly alarming and […]

Saul Leiter - $885

19 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Saul Leiter (b. 1923 in Pittsburgh) has only in recent years received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to take photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on […]

Sonja Braas: Forces (Art Catalogue) - $795

17 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Nature as represented in Sonja Braas’s photographs is not a sweet and gentle force but a violent and destructive one. Roaring waterfalls, crashing ice, and eroding rocks are pictured large-scale and at frighteningly close range, almost as if the camera tripod was set up in the middle of the action. Braas succeeds in capturing the unrestrained drama of nature, in all its visual and aural strength–but is the spectacle she frames entirely authentic? Subtle hints and surreal light effects suggest […]

more-than-human

More than Human - $895

15 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Just as did Flach’s highly acclaimed previous books, Equus and Dogs, More than Human will amaze and inspire, in a constant affirmation of the animal, whether it be rare or common, powerful or defenseless, odd or majestic. The book showcases a menagerie of creatures—pandas, tigers, bats, lions, orangutans, cobras, bullfrogs, chimpanzees, wolves, porcupines, elephants, owls, armadillos, among many others—as they have never been seen before. Shedding light on Flach’s images will be an accessible collection of texts, written and edited by author Lewis Blackwell.Praise for More […]

LCD - $385

11 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

For the past decade, downtown-New York indie dance music innovation could be summed up in three letters: LCD. The brainchild of frontman James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem grew from a solo project into one of the most highly regarded live bands in contemporary music. In 2011, at the height of their career, LCD Soundsystem decided to end the band. From 2004 to the day they quit, photographer Ruvan Wijesooriya navigated through both private and public moments with the influential, Grammy-nominated, NYC […]

The Sites of Ancient Greece

The Sites of Ancient Greece - $925

10 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  “Aerial views like the 100 images in Georg Gerster’s The Sites of Ancient Greece achieve a perspective even those immortals can envy.” - The Wall Street Journal “Gaze at the bright blues and whites of timeless Greece with aerial photography at its best.” - Boston.com “These photographs are at once striking images unto themselves and documents of a time and place. This time is now but the place is the past – we are at once straddling the space where time simply collapses. […]

  Published on the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary, this is the first ever anthology of Aperture magazine. This long-awaited overview provides a selection of the best critical writing from the first 25 years of the magazine–the period spanning the tenure of cofounder and editor Minor White. Aperture was established in 1952 by a group of photographers, including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Barbara Morgan and historian-curators Beaumont and Nancy Newhall. Their intention was to provide a forum “in which photographers can talk straight to […]

Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia Volume I

Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia Volume I - $450

20 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Occasionally a book is published that reveals a subculture you never dreamt existed. More rarely, that book goes on to become a phenomenon of its own. The 2004 publication of the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia was such a phenomenon, spawning two further volumes and alerting a fascinated readership worldwide to the extraordinary and hermetic world of Russian criminal tattoos (David Cronenberg, for example, made regular use of the Encyclopaedia during the making of his 2007 movie Eastern Promises). Now, Fuel has reprinted volume one of […]

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

“The reports of the New York-based Human Rights Watch have become extremely important. . . .  Cogent and eminently practical, these reports have gone far beyond an account of human rights abuses. . . .”—Ahmed Rashid in The New York Review of Books “An attempt to bring rationality where emotion tends to dominate.”—Simon Jenkins, former editor of The Times (London) In the aftermath of 2011′s Arab Spring uprisings, unexpected new challenges and imperatives of building rights-respecting democracies appeared in their wake.
