Ravens & Red Lipstick
An accessible and visually rich study of Japanese photography since 1945 by an experienced curator specializing in Japanese art and culture.
From the severity of post-war Realism to the diversity and technical ingenuity of the present, via movements and groups such as Vivo in the 1960s and ‘girls’ photography’ in the 1990s, this visually bold and richly volume traces the development of Japanese photography since 1945. Interleaved are new interviews with some of the most influential practitioners in photographic history, from Moriyama Daido to Araki Nobuyoshi and Kawauchi Rinko.
Lena Fritsch writes with imagination and clarity, interrogating a cross-section of photographic movements and works against the vivid, shifting backdrop of Japanese social, cultural and political history. The result is both an accessible introduction and an illuminating work of analysis for general readers and aficionados alike.

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.

Re-framed
Marc Hom showcases his works at the Fenimore Museum in Cooperstown, New York, far from gallery conventions: indoors and in nature, initially intimate and small-scale, then larger than life - outdoors in movable frames, subject to the wind, sun, and shadows.
This new style of photo presentation from inception to completion is shown in the book.
The execution and impact of this exhibition concept documented in the book expand the viewer's visual habits of photography.
Part museum experiment, part documentary book project: Re-Framed shows the work of famed photographer Marc Hom in a whole new light. In this combined indoor/outdoor exhibition, viewers engage with the medium of portrait photography via the juxtaposition of a controlled classical indoor show with sculpture-like eleven-foot- tall photographs displayed and left exposed outdoors in the open air. This creates a new way to experience photography in an ever-evolving environment, while discovering oversized, larger-than-life pieces amidst the green lawn and lakeshore behind the museum building. Hom’s outdoor studio portraits, displayed in flexible three-meter-high frames, are vulnerable to elements that change the viewing experience: literally, the wind and weather.
In his oeuvre-spanning show, the renowned Danish photographer provides examples from the last twenty years of his unique ability to stage seemingly private and intimate moments in the lives of his subjects in creative and unexpected ways. This makes Re-Framed a retrospective that brings both his work and photography in general, with its layered contemporary meanings, into a new dimension, allowing viewers to explore captivating images in their own way. Immerse yourself in a groundbreaking exhibition in the Fenimore Art Museum, preserved in this art-quality volume, either after visiting the exhibit in person or as a completely standalone experience. To quote Marc Hom himself: it is “the beauty of the unexpected” that awaits you in this book.
Re-Framed is a work of art in its own right, thanks to the excellent reproduction of Hom’s iconic portraits of Samuel L. Jackson, Rafael Nadal, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus, among other legendary personalities. It also makes an unforgettable impression with its unique cover design and interior layout that exudes its own special style, just like the exhibit itself.
Steve McCurry. Animals
Animal Magnetism
Steve McCurry turns his lens on creatures around the world
In Animals, we discover a different side to the famed photographer who skillfully explores animals’ complex relationship with humans and the environment.
Tenderness abounds, particularly in scenes of unkempt street dogs sleeping contentedly next to a human. But there’s also a kind of essential solitude, with animals belonging to no one and simply wandering through life with only their survival instincts to guide them. We witness camels caught in the crossfire during the first Gulf War; a shepherd from Northern Pakistan tenderly feeding his goats; Beverly Hills designer dogs; race horses on a Hong Kong rooftop; an elephant in Thailand, and more images selected by McCurry from his vast archives.
Through McCurry’s lens, we discover an appreciation for each creature’s beauty and silent dignity. This kaleidoscopic collection is at once a beautiful travelogue and a touching tribute to the creatures who share our planet.
Harry Benson. The Beatles
In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of London’s Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatles’ trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Benson’s name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles.
In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the band—Benson himself has called it the best shot of his career. Later that year, he followed the group on the road for their debut U.S. tour, documenting their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay, and the hysteria of New York Beatlemania. Benson also photographed George Harrison’s honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Day’s Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.”
This pocket-sized edition brings back the best of Benson’s luminous black-and-white Beatles portfolio. Complemented by quotes and newspaper clippings from the period, an introduction by the photographer himself adds exciting personal testimony to these iconic images of the greatest band in musical history.
A Book of Days
A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train. More than 365 images chart Smith's singular aesthetic - inspired by her wildly popular Instagram
In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith's world, photographs of her daily coffee, the books she's reading, the graves of beloved heroes - William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus. Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape, and more than a million followers responded to Smith's unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother's keychain, and a husband's Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are never-before-seen photos of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world.
With 365 photographs, taking you through a single year, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful - and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process - A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist's life.
Paratexty fotografie
V duchu edice Rozhraní věnují kapitoly této knihy pozornost tomu, co fotografie doprovází, sousedí s nimi a obklopuje je, co je k nim přidáváno nebo naopak k čemu jsou ony přidávány. Figuru paratextu si vypůjčujeme z literární vědy pro označení této transtextuální či transmediální hraniční oblasti, aniž bychom se omezovali výlučně na vztahy obrazu a textu, jako spíše vyznačili možné způsoby, jimiž jsou fotografie ukotveny ve světě. Studie se věnují „příslušenství“ fotografie ve smyslu autorských komentářů, kritických a teoretických pojednání či marketingové komunikace; memům, metadatům a formám navigace ve fotografickém univerzu prostřednictvím jejich třídění a označování na sociálních sítích; vedle paratextů fotografie ale i fotografii jako paratextu ve formě screenshotu a virtuální fotografie či filmové fotosky.
Elliott Erwitt’s New York
There are many coffee table books dedicated to New York, but certainly none like this one. With New York, the photography legend Elliott Erwitt pays a monochromatic tribute to his hometown metropolis, creating a photo book that can unquestionably be classified as a work with historical significance. The native Parisian immigrated to the USA in 1939 and settled in the Big Apple in 1948. Since then, the camera has been his constant companion as he wandered through the streets of the global city.
In this revised edition, Erwitt presents compelling black and white photographs spanning his entire career. On 16 new pages, readers are given a first-time glimpse into previously unreleased images from the 1950s and 60s, allowing them to immerse themselves in a New York of days long past. A touch of nostalgia is guaranteed.
The photo book perfectly reflects New York and its soul. Celebrities stand alongside everyday New Yorkers, everyday moments shape contemporary history in a cheerful and sometimes slightly quirky manner, characteristic of Erwitt's work. It's no wonder he is considered one of the best street photographers in the world. His images are not only vivid and authentic, but are also characterised by a special irony derived from the everyday situations they originate from. This photo book is enjoyable to look at time and time again, always offering fresh surprises.
New York is the perfect book for those who can't get enough of this impressive megacity. Even die-hard fans of the metropolis will discover previously undiscovered facets of the city here. For all admirers of Elliott Erwitt's photographic art, this photo book is a must-have for their home collection.
