_______________________ THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH BIOGRAPHY OF
LEGENDARY PHOTOGRAPHER LEE MILLER _______________________ 'Lee
Miller was an astounding woman, brought memorably to life in this
astounding book' - Daily Telegraph 'Does its perplexingly
complicated subject more than justice, adding welcome depths and
nuances to the familiar legend' - Sunday Times 'A serious and
gripping biography from Carolyn Burke' - Boyd Tonkin, Independent
_______________________ Lee Miller was one of the most
extraordinary photographers of the twentieth century, famous for
her portraits and devastating photographs of World War Two, as well
as for her legendary beauty. An art student and a Vogue model, she
was a close friend of artists such as Picasso, Cocteau, Max Ernst
and Paul Eluard, and became a muse of Man Ray and the Parisian
surrealists. One of the few female photographers to enter Hitler's
Germany, she was the first to access his Munich home and among the
first to document the liberation of the concentration camps.
Carolyn Burke captures Lee Miller in all her complexity, unveiling
the glittering art world of the thirties and forties of which she
was a central figure. Meticulously researched, beautifully written,
this is an enthralling account of one of the most fascinating women
of her era.
A landmark in the history of modern art, People of the 20th Century
presents the fullest expression of the German photographer August
Sander's lifelong work: a monumental endeavor to amass an archive
of twentieth-century humanity through a cross section of German
culture. Sander photographed subjects from all walks of life,
capturing bankers and boxers, soldiers and circus performers,
farmers and families, to create a catalog of the German people,
arranged by their profession, gender, and social status. First
imagined in the 1920s, he pursued the project for more than fifty
years during a politically charged and rapidly changing time,
fraught by two world wars and the devastating repercussions of
Nazism. Sander never finished the seven-volume, forty-nine
portfolio magnum opus, continually refining and shaping it to
convey an understanding of the world in which he lived. The
photographs, remarkable for their unflinching realism and deft
analysis of character, provide a powerful social mirror of Germany
between the wars and form one of the most influential achievements
of the twentieth century. Now made available again, People of the
20th Century brings together the exquisite reproductions and
principal texts of the long out-of-print, seven-volume edition, as
well as the main scholarship from the accompanying study edition.
This all-in-one edition, with 619 photographs, offers the most
comprehensive iteration of Sander's still-essential vision.
The extraordinary experiences of ordinary people-their suffering
and their unimaginable bravery-are the subject of Judy Glickman
Lauder's remarkable photographs. Beyond the Shadows responds to the
world's looking the other way as the Nazis took power and their
hate-fueled nationalism steadily turned to mass murder. In the
context of the horror of the Holocaust, it also tells the uplifting
story of how the citizens and leadership of Denmark, under
occupation and at tremendous risk to themselves, defied the Third
Reich to transport the country's Jews to safety in Sweden. Over the
past thirty years, Glickman Lauder has captured the intensity of
death camps in Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, in dark and
expressive photographs, telling of a world turned upside down, and,
in contrast, the redemptive and uplifting story of the "Danish
exception." Including texts by Holocaust scholars Michael Berenbaum
and Judith S. Goldstein, and a previously unpublished original text
by survivor Elie Wiesel, Beyond the Shadows demonstrates
passionately what hate can lead to, and what can be done to stand
in its path. "This is photography and storytelling for our times,
about what hate leads to, and how we can stand up to it. Beyond the
Shadows is powerful and revealing, and sharply relevant to all of
us who believe in the human family." - Sir Elton John
This series celebrates the Bodleian Library's acquisition of Tom
Phillips's archive of over 50,000 photographic postcards dating
from the first half of the twentieth century, a period in which,
thanks to the ever cheaper medium of photography, 'ordinary' people
could afford to own their portraits. Each title in this series is
thematically assembled and designed by the artist, the covers
featuring a linked painting specially created for each title from
Tom Phillips's signature work, A Humument. Fantasy Travel shows
people sitting proudly and playfully in studio mock-ups of
aeroplanes, cars, speedboats and hot air balloons. Such modes of
transport were beyond the dreams of the average person in the early
twentieth century but the photographic studios allowed them to
indulge wild flights of fancy and take away the resulting
postcards.
During his production years, Gustav Stickley made photographs of
much of his work. Some were used in his Craftsman magazine, and
some were used in a series of catalogs. Many of Stickley's glass
negatives are now in the collection of the Winterthur Museum in
Delaware, and are reprinted here for the first time. Many have
never before been published, and those that were published by
Stickley, now benefit from high quality modern printing. Whenever
possible dimensions and catalog references are given, making this
an important compilation of Stickley's work. A foreword by Leslie
Greene Bowman, Director and C.E.O. of Winterthur Museum, Garden
& Library, further enriches the work. A driving force in the
American Arts & Crafts Movement, Gustav Stickley produced
furniture inspired by a vision of craftsmanship and comfortable
functionality. Its high quality makes it a standard of the period.
Today pieces from his Craftsman Studio are cherished antiques. This
new volume of his photographic archives will be a welcomed addition
to the literature.
This monograph is the first to collect the photographs of
internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Barry McGee. Though
best known for the inventive graphic sensibility of his paintings
and drawings, McGee's use of photography is an essential, often
underappreciated, component of his artistic vision. Captured at all
hours and around the world with whatever camera is at hand, McGee's
images are immediate, casual, intimate, and anarchic all at once.
His work boldly employs geometric shapes, clusters of framed
drawings and paintings, distinctive characters, and found objects
such as empty bottles, surfboards, and wrecked vehicles. Whether
incorporated into his iconic multi-element compositions, or printed
in the innumerable fanzines and artist's books that often accompany
his exhibitions, photographs pervade McGee's practice. Barry McGee:
Photographs provides unique insight into the process of a major
American artist, and is a testament to the immense amount of visual
information McGee has absorbed to build one of the most eclectic
and innovative artistic legacies of our time.
True Colors (or, Affirmations in a Crisis) is a chronicle of
survival by trailblazing artist Zora J Murff. Murff constructs a
manual for coming to terms with the historic and contemporary
realities of America's divisive structures of privilege and caste.
Since leaving social work to pursue photography over a decade ago,
Murff's work has consistently grappled with the complicit
entanglement of the medium in the histories of spectacle,
commodification, and race, often contextualizing his own
photographs with found and appropriated images and commissioned
texts. True Colors continues that work, expanding to address the
act of remembering and the politics of self, which Murff identifies
as "the duality of Black patriotism and the challenges of finding
belonging in places not made for me-of creating an affirmation in a
moment of crisis as I learn to remake myself in my own image."
Nuanced, challenging, and inspiring, True Colors (or, Affirmations
in a Crisis) is a must-have monograph by a rising and standout
artist. True Colors is the result of the inaugural Next Step Award,
a partnership between Aperture and Baxter St at the Camera Club of
New York, with the generous support of 7G Foundation. An exhibition
of the work will open at Baxter St in New York in November 2021.
Through engaging interviews, testimonials, and anecdotes from
photographers, curators, printers, and colleagues, Object Lesson:
On the Influence of Richard Benson pays homage to a legendary
figure whose name is synonymous with the evolving history and
philosophy of photographic reproduction. From making platinum
prints for Paul Strand and books with Lee Friedlander to his own
experiments with inkjet and digital offset processes, and as a
teacher and dean of the Yale School of Art, by the time of his
death in 2017, Benson had inspired over three decades of students
and artisans through his mentorship and work. In words and images,
Object Lesson stands as a testament to Benson's wit, wisdom, and
incomparable obsession with how photographic images render and
connect us to the world. Text, image, and interview contributions

This is the definitive visual account of the gay liberation
movement in New York, following the Stonewall uprising in Greenwich
Village in 1969, an event that marked the coming-out of New York's
gay community. As a direct outcome of Stonewall, gay pride marches
were held in 1970 in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.
Fifty years later Pride will be celebrated in thousands of cities
across the world. Including more than 190 photographs by Fred W.
McDarrah chronicling the movement in all its glory, the book
includes reflective essays by major figures such as Alan Ginsbery,
Hilton Als and Sir Ian McKellan.
Kevin Michael Connolly is a twenty-four-year-old man who has
seen the world in a way most of us never will. Whether swarmed by
Japanese tourists at Epcot Center as a child or holding court at
the X Games on his mono-ski, Kevin Connolly has been an object of
curiosity since the day he was born without legs. Growing up in
rural Montana, he was raised like any other kid (except, that is,
for his father's MacGyver-like contraptions such as the "butt
boot"). As a college student, Kevin traveled to seventeen countries
on his skateboard, including Bosnia, China, Ukraine, and Japan. In
an attempt to capture the stares of others, he took more than
30,000 photographs of people staring at him. In this dazzling
memoir, Kevin Connolly casts the lens inward to explore how we view
ourselves and what it is to truly see another person. From the home
of his family in Helena, Montana, to the streets of Tokyo and Kuala
Lumpur, Kevin's remarkable journey will change the way you look at
others, and the way you see yourself.

"With each day spent outdoors I am reminded of what a beautiful
world we all call home, and the challenges that face ecosystems
across the world." - Alfie Bowen "The photographs are outstanding,
and the story behind them inspirational. Given the odds stacked

is an exceptionally talented young autistic photographer and
wildlife activist. His latest project offers a glimpse into the
private lives of numerous wild animals from across the globe and
reveals the highs and lows of living as an autistic environmental
campaigner. Bowen's photographs are truly breath-taking. Hours are
invested into every piece to ensure the results are exactly as
Bowen envisioned, and Bowen conducts in-depth research on every
animal he captures, believing it is of the utmost importance to
understand his subjects. In this book, Bowen discusses overcoming
the limitations of technology and how autism has given him the
obsession needed to persevere in often cold, lonely and difficult
circumstances. From Bowen's relation of his struggle to capture the
perfect picture of a cheetah, to his majestic portraits of some of
the most beloved animals on the planet, this book captures the
powerful sensory experience Bowen enjoys whenever he immerses
himself in nature. Featured animals include: lions, cheetahs,
leopards, tigers, snow leopards, Geoffrey's cats, red pandas,
chimpanzees, monkeys and colobuses, lemurs, elephants, rhinos,
giraffes, zebras, deer, flamingos, eagles and other birds, and koi.
