    ’93 Til – A photographic journey through skateboarding in the 1990s. – Pete Thompson

    To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in ’93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a rare luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovative style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the ’90s were the golden years of skateboarding. ’93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for ’93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before. The 230-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late ’80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists. Also included in the book alongside Pete’s imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others.

    1960s: Photographed by David Hurn

    Magnum photographer Davis Hurn is one of Britains's more important reportage photographers. His documentary photographs are distinguished by their quiet observation and remarkable insight. Hurn's rendering of the 1960s encompasses both Hollywood screen idols and East End sun-seekers; headline news, alongside rituals unchanged for centuries. Photoessays from the streets of New york, anti-Vietnam protests, the London Soho scene, the French Riviera, Quenn Charlotte's Ball and the Ilse of Wight Festival of 1969; portraits of Michael Caine, Quentin crisp, Julie Christie, amongst many more; and Hurn's work within the film industry, capturing The Beatles during filming of A Hard Day's  Night,  Sean Connery in From Russia With Love and Jane Fonda in Barbarella. This magnificent hardback volume is curated with insight and appreciation for a true master of his art. It offers an incredibly well-rounded vision of the 1960s that is not to be missed.

    American Reflections: Tom Arndt

    For this beautiful hard-cover monograph, Tom Arndt, one of the masters of documentary photography, opened his archives. Half a century of American history is told in a wandering road-movie through over 100 images. Under a sociological and empathetic gaze, Arndt captures fragments of the lives of women and men from the middle class, the agricultural world, the dreary suburbs and the hectic streets of great metropolises such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles or Minneapolis. The illuminated signs, the reflections in the windows (themes that run through all of the photographer's work) and the silhouettes taken from life are all details that structure the photographic image. Lights and architectural lines compose powerful images, icons of a timeless America. Two essays by Sarah Hermanson Meister, former director of photography at MoMA NY and current director of the Aperture Foundation in New York, and Yasufumi Nakamori, senior curator at the Tate Modern in London, contextualise Arndt's work in the history of American photography. - Published February 2023

    Apartamento Cookbook #8

    ,
    About the book Tuber, or Not Tuber? THAT is our question. In this year’s annual Apartamento cookbook, we’re taking Shakespeare’s famous lines from Hamlet way underground and asking ourselves, What even is a tuber? Where past cookbooks nod directly to pantry staples, spices, or sweets, Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber? engages readers in the ‘to be, or not to be’ of the culinary world, answering with recipes that draw on a range of root vegetables. A teasing ‘Tuber Check’ accompanies each recipe, gamifying the standard cookbook and introducing readers to an array of subterranean treats, tuber or not. In dishes from James Beard Award winner Corey Lee, Noma flavour scientist Arielle Johnson, royal baker Claire Ptak, Oaxacan flagbearer Thalia Barrios García, and visual artist Motoyuki Daifu, among others, tubers and their kindred stems take the form of fresh salads, fried enyucados, or cool horchata. Swiss Design Award winner Olga Prader brings the book to life with her playful illustrations, taking us deeply, delectably underground. Apartamento will donate 20% of profits generated by this book to The Enriqueta Villavecchia Private Foundation for Child Oncology. Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber? Drawings by Olga Prader Featuring: Aimar Córdoba, Alice Moireau, Anna Sulan Masing, Arielle Johnson, Carlos Alfonso, Claire Ptak, Coralie Jouhier and Daquis Gomis, Corey Lee, Maria Haddad, Motoyuki Daifu, Nic Dowse, Niram Watthanasit, Rosie Healey, Sally Grainger, Thalia Barrios García, and Vadim Otto Ursus. Release date: November 7, 2023  Published by Apartamento Publishing S.L. November 2023 First edition Dimensions: 170 x 240mm Pages: 40 pages Binding: hard cover + dust jacket ISBN: 978-84-09-53991-8

    AUTOPHOTO

    ,
    Autophoto explores photography's longstanding and generative relationship to the automobile. 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. The book 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 historical and contemporary artists from around the world, including Robert Adams, Brassaï, Edward Burtynsky, Langdon Clay, John Divola, Robert Doisneau, William Eggleston, Elliott Erwitt, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Anthony Hernandez, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Joel Meyerowitz, Daido Moriyama, Catherine Opie, Martin Parr, Rosângela Rennó, Ed Ruscha, Hans-Christian Schink, Malick Sidibé, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel. 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, created specifically for the Fondation Cartier show by French artist Alain Bublex, plus a comparative history of automobile design and photography, essays by scholars and quotes by participating artists.  Editions Xavier Barral/Fondation Cartier Pour L'Art Contemporain. hb. 464 pages. 300 colour, 300 duotone ills. 21 x 26 cm.

    Back In The Day – 70’s Skateboarding – Mini Edition Book

    Now in a more compact format, Back in the Day is a timeless and nostalgic collection of photographs documenting the skateboarding scene in the 1970s. William Sharp began taking surfing photographs in southern California in the early seventies and was quickly drawn into the nascent skateboard scene, shooting friends emulating surfing moves on pavement. By 1975 he was brought in as a staff photographer for the magazine Skateboard World. During the next five years he documented the meteoric rise of the movement, capturing thousands of photographs along the way. Back in the Day features hundreds of Sharp's astounding photos from this era. The work is priceless, not only for its documentary value, but for the beautiful and poetic images captured and later developed by Sharp himself (many in black and white). Pipes in Arizona, aqueducts in California, pools all over the place, the locales and images must be seen to be believed. Ozzie Ausband signed on as an editor of the project, collecting present day quotes and assisting with the paring down of Sharp's massive photo archive. Sharp's epic photos are populated by the vanguard of the scene such as Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Jerry Valdez, Steve Caballero, and Jay Smith, among many others.

    California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties Book

    This title features images of legendary surfers such as Joe Quigg, Tom Zahn and Dale Velzy in locations such as Rincon, Malibu, South Bay and San Onofre; and famous climbers such as Warren Harding, Royal Robbins and Wayne Merry, photographed mostly in the Yosemite Valley by the likes of Bob Swift, Alan Steck, Jerry Gallwas and Frank Hoover. Soaked in surf, sun and adrenaline, these photographs depict the birth of an era and an exhilarating moment in Californian history. The story told by the photographs in California Surfing and Climbing in the Fifties takes place against the larger backdrop of postwar America: Truman and Eisenhower, the Korean War, the Cold War and the Red Scare. Young people were embracing new symbols of non-conformity: Elvis Presley, Jack Kerouac, Marlon Brando and James Dean. All along the California coast, surfing became popular as heavy balsawood boards were replaced with lightweight ones crafted from polyurethane foam, fiberglass and resin. Meanwhile, climbers descended on Tahquitz Rock in the south and Yosemite Valley to the north to test handcrafted equipment that would set new standards for safety, technique and performance.

More than a means of support, concrete has a plasticity that can accommodate Tokyo’s oddly shaped sites and offers a variety of surface treatments with aesthetic possibilities.

It concludes with a brief reflection from Lowenstein, fresh from completing Mystify, his searing documentary on the life of Hutchence, on what has changed in filmmaking and what hasn’t over the past thirty years.

    Grounds, Romberg & Boyd : Melbourne’s midcentury modernists

    Grounds, Romberg and Boyd (1953-1962) was one of the most innovative modernist architectural firms ever to practice in Australia. Led by Roy Grounds, Frederick Romberg and Robin Boyd, it would have a role in shaping many enduringly iconic and significant buildings. This book is a richly illustrated exploration of the architectural legacy of the practice, including correspondence, reproductions of ephemera from the period, and drawings and photographs of their most iconic buildings. Grounds, Romberg & Boyd is the only book ever published on the work of the famous Australian practice. It is also unusual in that its focus isn’t squarely on the familiar, finished buildings, but the relationship between the three directors and the goings-on behind the scenes. The book gives a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a high profile architecture firm and how it functions—or doesn’t. Author - Maria Larkins Uro Publications. pb. 216 pages. 25 x 20 cm.

    Jacques-Henri Lartigue: The Proof of Color

    In 1912 Jacques-Henri Lartigue began taking photographs in a radically different way by using a surprising anachronistic technique: stereoscopic autochrome on glass plates. During the short time he produced these images – from 1912 to 1927 – Lartigue made an important and beautiful series of double-view autochromes, from which the 90 remaining pieces are presented here for the first time in their entirety and at full scale. Lartigue's process relied on meticulous technical preparation and a long, precise exposure time for his staged compositions. The end result is not a print but a double stereoscopic view that he projected onto a screen. Lartigue filled each frame with bright colours through a mix of sunny landscapes, dazzling flowers and playful scenes of his well-to-do family and friends at leisure. In order to understand the effect this series has had in the history of color photography, the images in "The Proof of Color" are accompanied by a contextual commentary. An indisputably important figure in photography, Jacques-Henri Lartigue was fascinated by new inventions such as the automobile and telecommunications, and concurrently the new possibilities that the photographic medium offered.

    Joel Meyerowitz: Europa 1966-67

    In 1966, at age 28, photographer Joel Meyerowitz embarked on a journey that would take him to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, Turkey & Greece. In total, he ended up taking 25,000 photographs. 'Europa 1966–1967' compiles a selection of photographs taken by Meyerowitz on this trip, offering an exciting glimpse of the 'New Old World' that, having lately overcome the trauma of World War II, opened itself to modernity & progress. Meyerowitz witnessed societies in transition, stuck between dictatorship and economic blossoming. Yet he also documented unshakable cultural traditions, such as when he lived with a flamenco-performing family in Francoist Spain for six months. The strength and freshness of Meyerowitz’s gaze and the new codes that were captured in these pictures inspired the next generation of photographers. Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) is a street, portrait and landscape photographer. The New York native began photographing in colour in 1962 and was an early advocate for its use at a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of colour photography as serious art. Many of his photographs are icons of modern photography, and he is considered one of the most influential representatives of the New Colour Photography of the 1960s and ’70s. His work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions around the world and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and many other museums worldwide.

The volume is organized chronologically and thematically, emphasizing Haring’s work made with publics in mind such as the subway drawings and murals, his collaborative practice and his unflinching belief that art is essential in making a better world.

    Ken Werner: HALLOWEEN

    Reissued for the first time in decades, this underground classic explores, through the photographs of Ken Werner, a bacchanalia worthy of the pagan and occult roots of the Halloween ritual. It documents San Francisco’s hugely popular adult Halloween celebrations from 1976 to 1980, assembling a visual narrative of American consciousness and popular culture as seen through lenses of queerness, black humour, and the macabre. Once touted as the “Mardi Gras of the West,” the raunchy, mostly open-air nighttime costume parties documented by Werner were hugely popular events organised primarily by LGBT and sex worker advocates, attracting tens of thousands of curious attendees as well as conservative ire from around the nation. Ken Werner is a professional photographer who currently splits his time between the US and Australia. His photographs have been featured in publications such as Camera 35, Modern Photography, and Asahi Camera, and can also be found in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. For many years he lived in San Francisco, where he created and served as Editorial Director of the award-winning magazine Darkroom Photography, providing an influential resource to the development of traditional film photography as craft and art form. He has also worked as a commercial travel photographer, producing photo essays for in-flight magazines and hotel chains, and served as consultant for the radical Bay Area publisher RE/SEARCH.

    Le Corbusier: Unité d’habitation “Typ Berlin”

    Le Corbusier’s Unité d’habitation 'Typ Berlin' (built 1957–58) is an exceptional testimony to Berlin’s post-war architecture. Although it follows the basic concept of a 'vertical village' as envisioned by the architect, the gigantic block, containing 530 apartments, clearly differs from the Marseille original. However, as a result of modifications required by the client, the construction occupies the position of an outsider in Le Corbusier’s oeuvre. Authors from the fields of architecture, urbanism, art history, and cultural studies precisely set out the genesis of the listed building for the first time. In addition, they investigate the development of the 'Unité d’habitation' model, the Berlin variant’s unique colour concept, and carry out a comparison with the four typologically related buildings in France. In looking at the significance, ingenuity, and creative impact of Le Corbusier’s unique creation in Berlin, the so-called 'Corbusierhaus', the publication fills a gap in the literature on post-war modernism and the architect’s body of work. JOVIS. pb. 256 pages. 180 colour ills. 17 x 24 cm.

    Magnum – 75 Years Book

    Published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Magnum Photos agency, this book puts into perspective its history and photographers, against the backdrop of the events that they have experienced, telling the “little stories” that lie behind major photographs. From May 1968 in France, to September 11, 2001, through the Vietnam War and more recent conflicts, contemporary history unfolds under the lens of the agency's photographers. Addressed to as much the reader who would like to discover documentary photography, as to the specialist who would like to complete his knowledge, Magnum Photos 75 Years is a collection of anecdotes and singular stories which reveals a great fresco of this mythical press agency, thanks to the work led by the author Philippe Séclier. The book is also distinguished by its original shape: evoking photographs without ever showing them but only by summoning them through the text. You will have to unfold the front and back endpapers of the book to discover the images hidden inside...

    Manuel DeLanda: ISM ISM

    Economically downtrodden New York City in the 1970s was like the end of the world—but only if you chose to see it that way. For young artists running amok in the collapsing capitol, the possibilities seemed endless. Manuel DeLanda, a Mexican transplant enrolled at the School of Visual Arts, saw the overcrowded sidewalks and decrepit subway stations as blank canvases for inspired mayhem. Recognized today as a philosopher, professor, and author, DeLanda initially came to prominence as one of the premier experimental filmmakers of his generation. While films like Raw Nerves: A Lacanian Thriller and Incontinence: A Diarrhetic Flow of Obvious Mismatches are certified underground classics, DeLanda’s visually striking, virtually unknown graffiti work (signed with the tag “ISM ISM”) has long remained more urban legend than legendary. ISM ISM presents a comprehensive overview of DeLanda’s ephemeral street collages with a colorful frame-by-frame breakdown of a Super 8 short film completed in 1979 in order to document his sweetly subversive activities. Extensive still images, an expansive interview, and copious contextual materials combine to illustrate the story of DeLanda’s aesthetic attack on 23rd Street, including his friendly competition with fellow artist-taggers Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

    Old Vintage Melbourne 1960-90 Edition

    ,
    A sequel to the original 'Old Vintage Melbourne', this collection invites you again to turn back time and revisit the diverse past of the much-loved city of Melbourne. This captivating compilation of photographs taken between 1960 and 1990 provides a fascinating glimpse of a time that is familiar and yet different, when significant changes started to affect the city and its suburbs. For many readers, this book offers a chance to indulge in rare memories of growing up in our unique city. As historic city buildings were demolished and streetscapes altered, Melbourne embraced modernity. The skyline grew, and so did suburban shopping centres. Under the impact of a rapidly rising population and large-scale migration, the city’s distinctive and vibrant culture that we know today began to emerge. Cafés, fashion, sport, architecture, infrastructure, technology and even the law were all transformed. Adapted from the highly popular ‘Old Vintage Melbourne’ Instagram account, this collection allows us to behold iconic sights and scenes — some as they were, and some as they still are, generations later.

    Robert Capa: In The Making

    Photographer, filmmaker and war correspondent Robert Capa is a legend of photojournalism. His work – widely recognised and disseminated, although sometimes criticised for its truthfulness – is integral to the history of the photograph. This title retraces his work through images from private collections published for the first time. It contextualises Capa's groundbreaking photographs through original articles and his own rarely seen notes on the margins of prints. Capa covered all the major midcentury events: from the Front Populaire in France to the Spanish Civil War, World War II and finally the First Indochina War, where he lost his life. Together with his most iconic works, these rarely seen images construct a complete story, particularly how they were used and published. Reproductions of original newspaper articles illustrated by Capa’s images create new narratives through which to judge his documentation. Le Monde journalist Michel Lefebvre interprets the hidden details omitted through the years; the writing on the backs of the prints, a detail on a note, a place left out or a date that changes are all clues that reconstruct this immense corpus.

    The Art Of The B-Movie Poster

    Exploding off the page with more than 1,000 of the best examples of exploitation, grindhouse and pulp film poster design comes The Art of the B Movie Poster, a collection of incredible posters from low-budget films from the 1940s, '50s, '60s and '70s. A loving tribute to the artwork and artists that brought biker gangs, jungle girls, James Bond rip-offs and reefer heads to life for audiences around the world. Once relegated to the underground and midnight movie circuit, these films and their bombastic advertisements are experiencing a surge of mainstream popularity driven by fans appreciative of the artistic skill, distinctive aesthetic, and unabashed sensationalism they relied on to make a profit, with the quality of the poster often far surpassing that of the film itself. The book celebrates this tradition with sections divided into moral panic films, action, horror, sci-fi, and of course, sex, each introduced with short essays by genre experts such as Kim Newman, Eric Schaefer, Simon Sheridan, Vern, and author Stephen Jones, winner of the Horror Writer's Association 2015 Bram Stoker Award for Non-Fiction. Edited by Adam Newell and featuring an introduction by author and filmmaker Pete Tombs.

    The Book of Rhyme & Reason: Hip-Hop 1994-1997

    The ultimate backstage pass: a photographic inside look at the making of the pioneering hip hop documentary Rhyme & Reason

    An accompaniment to Peter Spirer's classic 1990s documentary, this coffee table book presents over 130 of the incredible Rolleiflex photographs Sprier captured while filming. The volume features candid images of a multitude of the artists integral to this formative period – many of the photographs never before seen or published. In the mid-nineties, documentarian Peter Spirer embarked on a three-year odyssey to offer a realistic view of Hip-Hop and the people and culture it encompassed, interviewing over 80 artists involved in the art form. Spirer managed to capture a seminal moment as the culture balanced on the cusp of the mainstream. This coffee table volume features over 130 of Spirer’s photographs from 1994 to 1997. As Hip-Hop commemorates its fiftieth anniversary in 2023, it is particularly fitting that many of these images from this formative period are being seen and published for the first time. While filming, Spirer took accompanying stills using a medium format Rolleiflex camera. It is these photographs that form The Book of Rhyme and Reason. “The Rollei allowed me to capture some amazing moments: Puffy getting a trim in his office while doing three tasks at once, Biggie opening record plaques on his couch, Ice-T and Mack 10 hanging with their homies, Heavy D at the barber, playing pool. There was the Jack The Rapper convention with Death Row making a statement, at a Disney World Hotel, that ended in chaos. There were magical moments such as Redman and Erick Sermon freestyling on the mic to amazed onlookers at a block party in Newark and watching Wu-Tang Clan chop it up on the block in Staten Island on a cold winter’s day before they exploded.”

    The Verve: Chris Floyd

    It has been 20 years since the colossal global success of The Verve’s era-defining Urban Hymns, and it remains one of the biggest-selling British albums of all time. Photographer Chris Floyd was embedded with the band during their meteoric rise from late 1996 to 1997. He documented the recording, touring and promoting of the album in Britain, Ireland and the US―the only photographer to have such access. This is the first time his photographs from that period have been published, with most completely unseen. The book is also a celebration of what it meant to be young in the last moments of societal unself-awareness, before the explosion of the internet and social media, and it includes a section dedicated to people’s memories of 1997. Chris reflects: “for a while it felt like being at the center of the universe.… We were in a brief golden era, when it looked like the world was unshackling itself and beginning to develop a more advanced and progressive attitude. We seemed to be in a decade that had taken a holiday from history. I am grateful and thankful that I got to live out my twenties in such a fertile, peaceful and creative period.” Michael Holden writes in his introduction: “Those years, it turns out, were the twilight of analogue consciousness and certain seeming certainties about the world at large. Whatever we are now, we were not then. This isn’t just the everyday past we’re looking at, but another planet.”

    Tina Barney : The Beginning Book

    Over the course of her 40-year career, Tina Barney has observed the generational repetition of familial traditions and rituals in domestic settings. In the summer of 2020 Barney began to sort through her archive, which contained thousands of 35mm negatives taken between 1976 and 1980. This book encompasses Barney’s nostalgic exploration of her earliest work in the medium, and further reflects a self-examination of this formative period through a critical lens. Finding these long-forgotten images engendered a rediscovery of some of her most intimate memories as a young artist: 'the photographs in this book seem like X-rays of my mind and thoughts through the summers I spent with family and friends on the East Coast and in Sun Valley, Idaho. The photographs of Tina Barney (born 1945) are in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Nicola Erni Collection, Zug, Switzerland. Barney's work has been the subject of major recent exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art; Frist Center, Nashville; and the Barbican, London.

    WONG KAR-WAI (Dis Voir)

    This special book is the first English language (and possibly the only?) monograph on the Hong Kong filmmaker, an important figure in contemporary cinema, regarded as one of the best filmmakers of his generation. Wong Kar-wai films the flow of contemporary images from the inside, hones them to an almost dizzying point of seductiveness, but also addresses the damage they do. Individuals are alone, orphaned, unfit for love, unable to exert the slightest influence on reality. His films works like prisms—collecting the luminous reflections of cityscapes and the somber psyches of his characters, diffracting them in the brightly colored facets of a video clip. There remains what is the true measure of any great filmmaker: a perfectly articulated vision of the state of the world, here and today. This book covers his films up to and including 'Happy Together'. Directors influenced by Wong include Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola, Tsui Hark and Barry Jenkins.

    This monograph allows us to rediscover the work of a photographer who published very little during his lifetime. The singularity of his vision and his work on the motif, which sometimes went as far as abstraction, made Ishimoto a key figure in the art world. Street scenes, portraits of children dressed up for Halloween, billboards, building facades in working-class neighborhoods: his images testify to his mastery of framing as well as his sensitive perception of textures and motifs. Four fold-outs featuring the photographer's iconic series punctuate this publication. These include the Chicago, Beach series, in which the legs of beachgoers together create a graphic, infinite composition; and Kyoto, Katsura, one of Ishimoto's most emblematic series, which captures details of the Japanese villa - its streamlined structure, its gardens and stone paths. Ishimoto's work combines the formal approach of Chicago's New Bauhaus with the quintessence of Japanese aesthetics. Widely considered an outsider by his peers, he brought a formalist perspective to the Japanese photographic scene of the time. Conceived in close collaboration with the Ishimoto Yasuhiro Photo Center, the book - which focuses on the first decades of his work - accompanies the eponymous exhibition at Le BAL, curated by Diane Dufour with Mei Asakura, director of the Archives. It includes an introduction by Diane Dufour and a critical apparatus consisting of three texts examining the artist's influence in the various territories to which he was linked.
