Il Dolce Far Niente: The Italian Way of Summer
This book is a gorgeous, photographic ode to the magic of southern coastal Italy in the summer by renowned travel, fashion, and lifestyle photographer Lucy Laucht.
A languorous August afternoon. That brilliant light and those impossible Mediterranean blues. The touch of sun on hot skin. And everywhere, the sounds of laughter and lighthearted conversation. Captured by photographer Lucy Laucht, these lyrical scenes of Naples, Ischia, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Puglia, Sicily, and the Aeolian and Egadi Islands are an ode to the Italian way of summer and that distinctly Italian art of sweet idleness.
Folklor za císaře pána
Zobrazenie tradícií, sviatkov, osláv a ľudových veselíc vždy lákalo fotografov. Obrázky z čias monarchie zachytávajú, ako sa kedysi oslavovali púte, fašiangy, hody alebo Vianoce, a pripomínajú, že k folklóru patria aj rozprávky a povesti. Nová kniha Pavla Scheuflera čerpajúca z jeho známej fotografickej zbierky ponúka pohľad do sveta obyčajov a tradícií v čase, keď podobné snímky posilňovali národné uvedomenie smerujúce k vzniku samostatnej republiky. Ľudové kroje sa vtedy hrdo nosili nielen na národopisných výstavách, ale pamätné príbehy z českej histórie ožívali aj v hudbe, maliarstve a vo fotografii. Publikácia nadväzuje na obľúbené knihy Šumava za císaře pána, Pivo za císaře pána, Lázně za císaře pána, Krkonoše za císaře pána a Praha za císaře pána.
Bettina Rheims. 40th Ed.
Since her first photographs in the late ’70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I. (1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional codes of representation and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection.
This Rheims retrospective showcases more than 300 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection brings together renowned series such as Chambre close, Héroines, and Rose, c’est Paris. Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the strength of each image as for the thrilling variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to global celebrities including Kate Moss, Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell, the book showcases Rheims’s particular interest in female fragility and strength, and of the magic encounter between model and artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood.

Man Ray: The Liberated Portrait
Published in connection with an exhibition opening at Photo Elysée in spring 2024, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray’s portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s.
Man Ray (1890–1976) was a man both of and ahead of his time. With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from previous constraints and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium.
A close friend of Marcel Duchamp and André Breton, he was one of the few photographers to be mentioned among the Dada artists and Surrealists. He also worked as a fashion photographer, first for Vogue, and later for Harper’s Bazaar and Vanity Fair. Renowned as the creator of Ingres’ Violin – a photograph from 1924 that broke records when it was sold for $12.4 million in 2022 – Man Ray remains an influential figure in the worlds of art, fashion and pop culture, with many other artists referencing his work.
Published in connection with an exhibition at Photo Elysée and in the centenary year of the publication of André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray’s portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s. It includes portraits of the leading lights of the Paris art scene, among them Marcel Duchamp, Robert Delaunay, Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso, as well as a selection of his fashion work. As an innovator of photographic techniques and compositional form, Man Ray found the studio portrait – be it of the artists and writers with whom he had longstanding friendships, or of the objects and sculptures he collected – to be the playground in which he could express the visual wit and experimentation for which he is renowned.
Ylla: The Birth of Modern Animal Photography
Ylla (1911-55) devoted herself exclusively to animal portraiture at a time when no one had thought of only photographing animals. Driven by her symbiotic relationship with animals, she created a new genre in animal photography: the expression and personality in animals.

She was part of artists' circles in Belgrade and Paris, however during WWII she fled to New York via Marseille where she started her career again from square one. Originally taking beguiling photos in her studio and zoos, Ylla finally traveled to Africa and India where she died in a tragic accident during a water buffalo race. Her Animals in Africa and Animals in India are some of the first books on the subject. Ylla also introduced photography to children's literature. Her books The Sleepy Little Lion and Two Little Bears are juvenile classics. This book details her remarkable life and work.

Připomíná jak úpadky průmyslových podniků, tak „bouřlivé erotické akce a pompézní párty,“ řečeno slovy dokumentaristky. „Na pivních slavnostech teče pivo proudem a Češi jsou ve svém živlu…“

Lucia Moholy: Exposures
Jako fotografka, portrétistka, odbornice na dokumentační činnost a autorka mnoha publicistických textů, se Lucia Moholy (1894–1989) vzpírá jasné kategorizaci. Působila aktivně jak v avantgardních kruzích, tak na poli informační vědy, kde přispívala k prohloubení porozumění vizuální reprodukci. Oproti předchozím titulům věnovaným Lucii Moholy, které omezovaly její úspěchy na pětileté působení na Bauhausu, publikace Lucia Moholy: Exposures poprvé zachycuje celou šíři její publikační i fotografické činnosti. Obsáhlé eseje čerpající z nových archivních nálezů odhalují její mládí v Praze na přelomu století, zapojení v radikálních sociálních hnutích ve dvacátých letech 20. století v Německu v období Výmarské republiky, emigraci do Londýna, kde se jejími kolegy a přáteli stali i členové skupiny Bloomsbury, dále její působení v oblasti mikrofilmové a vědecké dokumentace za druhé světové války, pracovní působení v Turecku pro UNESCO i její přijetí mladší uměleckou generací, včetně Jana Tichého. Publikace přibližuje, jak mezioborový přístup k fotografii uplatňovaný Moholy ve všech těchto kontextech předznamenal postanalogovou současnost tohoto média.
Sto let Fotografie 1839-1939: Lucia Moholy
Kniha redaktorky, spisovatelky, pedagožky, fotografky a znalkyně historie fotografie Lucie Moholy představuje krátký dobový výklad kulturně-historických dějin fotografie. Publikace doplněná řadou unikátních snímků a časopiseckých ilustrací popisuje vývoj fotografie od jejích počátků, kdy platila za svého druhu magii, až po status produktu masové výroby, jemuž se těšila v původním roce vydání publikace (1939). Ačkoliv objevy a vynálezy vedoucí ke vzniku fotografie sahají hluboko do historie, její závratný rozvoj započal v okamžiku, kdy Louis Daguerre představil první portrét žijící osoby. Autorka v knize zasazuje předpoklady, vývoj a úspěchy nového média do širokého kontextu politických, ekonomických, technických, estetických, uměleckých a sociokulturních vazeb.
Ellen von Unwerth. Heimat
Ellen von Unwerth’s puckish humor pervades the pages of Heimat, an enchanted tour around Bavaria. The renowned fashion and music photographer revisits her childhood homeland to shoot a posse of gorgeous girls out for fun and adventure amid the region’s undulating fields; age-old traditions; and deep, mysterious forests.
As they happily discard their dirndls and run riot across the countryside, von Unwerth’s heroines demonstrate the attributes and attractions of the region, whether munching on pretzels, striding out across pristine pastures, or seducing lederhosen-clad farmhands (and each other). Blending old-world charm with a rebellious edge and a sly subversion of traditional gender roles, Heimat bursts with fresh, provocative eroticism, tied up with wit, laced with an abiding love for a proud and beautiful region.

Mapplethorpe Flora
The definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe’s flower photographs in a sophisticated new edition
Robert Mapplethorpe is one of the twentieth century’s most important artists, known for his ground-breaking and provocative work. He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes – from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works.
In carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips and other species – both common and rare – and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result – a stunning body of work – is collected in this elegant book, with a foreword by Mapplethorpe’s close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp.
