Photography: The Whole Story
Photography: The Whole Story is a celebration of the most beautiful, meaningful and inspiring photographs that have arisen from this very modern medium. It begins with a succinct overview of photography, placing it in the context of the social and cultural developments that have taken place globally since its arrival. Organized chronologically, the book then traces the rapid evolution of photographic style, period by period and movement by movement. Illustrated, in-depth essays cover every photographic genre, from the early portraits and tableaux to the digitally manipulated montages, split-second sports images, and conceptual photographs of today. The ideas and works of key photographers are assessed to reveal what motivated them, who influenced whom, and what each was striving to achieve. Detailed cultural and individual artist timelines clarify historical context.
Bookstores: A Celebration of Independent Booksellers
Bookstores are treasure troves of knowledge and ideas, invaluable for the imagination, and often reflect their owners' personalities in ways internet behemoths could never recreate. In this book, photographer Horst A. Friedrichs opens the door to the world of bricks-and-mortar bookstores, showcasing their variety, quirkiness, and vitality with lavish photography. It celebrates the passion and commitment of the owners with interviews and anecdotes. Explore William Stout Books, a specialty store for architecture and art books in San Francisco, and Baldwin's Book Barn in Pennsylvania, a 5-story bookstore housed in a dairy barn open since the mid-1940s. Discover Gay's the Word, the UK's first and only dedicated LGBTQI bookshop and Livraria Lello, whose art deco interior is a temple to reading in the middle of Porto, Portugal. Some of the featured bookstores specialize in a certain genre, some are massive with vaulted ceilings, some are tiny and filled to the brim with books, some are in historic buildings that evoke a different time and place, and some are brand new, high- tech, architect-designed spaces. What all the bookstores have in common is that they are all dedicated to spreading the written word to their communities. This is an ideal book for anyone who loves to read, browse, or simply linger in the analog world of books and bookstores.
The Big Penis Book
"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?"
Done! The Big Penis Book features over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the '90s, including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino, Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format.
Photos come not just from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or just right-ask for a better deal?
The Big Book of Pussy
From the time The Big Penis Book was published, readers anticipated The Big Book of Pussy. Granted, perhaps not the same readers, but the seed had been planted and the calls and letters began flowing in. Once they had that long-awaited book, some found themselves overwhelmed by the variety and abundance, as well as the sheer size of the book. As one reviewer wrote, "let's give credit to Amazon for...the strength of its packaging. Who wants a 2-ton pussy book being 'exposed' for the mailman...?"
For those who worry that there can be too much of a good thing, we've made a pared down, "best of" edition of The Big Book of Pussy, a petite little kitten of a book that puts those in-your-face photos in proper perspective. Now you can follow the evolution of genital exposure with ease, through 100 years of photos with one thing in common: the exhibitionistic pleasure with which the models present their feminine pulchritude. And with over 150 photos-36 new to this book-of the pet we love to pet, no bothersome text to interrupt the flow, all in a package that won't stress the mailman's back, we just may have produced the perfect self-gifter of the year.
Little Book of Big Breasts
The Big Book of Breasts features over 150 celebrated big breast models from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, including Michelle Angelo, Virginia Bell, Roxanne Brewer, Joan Brinkman, Lorraine Burnett, Lisa DeLeeuw, Uschi Digard, Sylvia McFarland, Chesty Morgan, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Janie Reynolds, Candy Samples, Tempest Storm, Mary Waters, June Wilkinson, and Julie Wills, plus Guinness Book of World Records bra-buster Norma Stitz in a compact and inexpensive format.
Photos come not just from the original 398-page edition, but from subsequent Big Breast Calendars, meaning that 40% of the content is unique to this edition. Add reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or in-between-ask for a better deal?

Her Majesty. A Photographic History 1926-Today
Born in 1926, married in 1947, crowned as Queen in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has carried out her duty for more than six decades. TASCHEN celebrates her remarkable royal story with a new edition of Her Majesty, a definitive photographic collection of her public and private life.
Brimming with history, tradition, glamour, and culture, the book spans the Queen's early years right through to her most recent state tours and ceremonies. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during World War II; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation; her encounters with such icons of their age as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK; and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, and the tenderness and humor of informal and family moments.
As much a showcase of top photographers as a royal celebration, Her Majesty includes the work of such luminaries as Cecil Beaton, Studio Lisa, Dorothy Wilding, Karsh, Lord Snowdon, David Bailey, Patrick Lichfield, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rankin, and Annie Leibovitz
Vulnerable
In this stunning compilation of 140 images, photographer Olga Michi brings a new kind of portrait photography to endangered ethnic groups around the world. Her striking images seen in Vulnerable, present individuals against a black background, dramatically lit to focus on their dress, accessories, and individual expression. These indigenous peoples represent some of the most unique cultures in a hyper-globalised world, and an emotional reminder that they are our fellow human beings and singular personalities. And starkly, the rifles, cartridge cases, plastic objects and cell phones that also appear in Michi's pictures acknowledge the fragility of their way of life.
BUKOWSKI
Charles Bukowski, the dirty old man of American literature whose poems and prose are closely interwoven with his life - how does one go about portraying a person like that? In 1985, the young photographer Abe Frajndlich took on this challenge. We can say this much: it was not a job that could be accomplished in one shot. The Shooting presents a photographer's attempt to zero in on a legend.
"That face!" Glenn Esterly exclaims in his essay "The Pock-marked Poetry of Charles Bukowski" included in this volume. Everything fascinating about this monumental author is concentrated in his "look", as impressively demonstrated by the photographs of Abe Frajndlich, many of them previously unpublished. Portraying Bukowski in color and black and white, he gained the writer's confidence to the point that he was eventually invited to the wedding of Bukowski and Linda Lee Beighle. Telling the story of this meeting, the publication reproduces the various portrait series, culminating in the photographs of the wedding.
Jan Svoboda
Publikace se věnuje historii sbírání umělecké fotografie. Mapuje tuto specifickou činnost od období založení sbírky fotografie MG na začátku 60. let, až do doby přelomu tisíciletí. Text hodnotí akviziční možnosti státních institucí muzejního typu v podmínkách státního monopolu a volného trhu, který přišel na začátku 90. let. Změny situace a podmínek pak konfrontuje s akviziční politikou, jež byla v průběhu času volena pro získávání díla J. Svobody. Vedle teoretických úvah o trhu s fotografií a poslání soupisů uměleckého díla v teorii a praxi, jimž je vyhrazena první část publikace, je druhá část publikace věnována kompletnímu soupisu díla J. Svobody ve sbírkách MG. Tedy vědeckému katalogu, který má sloužit odborníkům a poučeným zájemcům z řad veřejnosti v hodnocení a užívání díla tohoto důležitého autora domácí a stále více i světové fotografie.

Nová fotografická kniha jedinečným způsobem mapuje především nedávno uplynulé pětiletí legendární pražské scény Studio Ypsilon. Kromě malého odkazu na minulost Y-scény se kniha soustřeďuje zejména na léta právě žité etapy Divadlo vzájemnosti.
Deň
Autorská publikácia Kataríny Poliačikovej DEŇ vznikla ako súčasť projektu Krehký archív, ktorým si GMB pripomína 60. výročie svojho vzniku. Kurátorka projektu Zuzana Jakalová usilovala o zachovanie princípu nehierarchickej pozornosti voči galérii. Cieľom autorky publikácie Kataríny Poliačikovej bolo nasledovať tento princíp a vnímať všetky vrstvy a príbehy spojené s galériou ako rovnocenné. Zachytáva paralelné, nenápadné až intímne histórie umeleckej inštitúcie a prostredníctvom umeleckého prístupu dopĺňa oficiálny príbeh Galérie mesta Bratislavy z prístupnej, doposiaľ nevidenej perspektívy. Fotografická esej zobrazuje každodennosť v galérii, ktorej súčasťou sú umelci a umelkyne, zamestnankyne a zamestnanci, návštevníci, a v neposlednom rade aj život galerijnej vegetácie.
Aperture 241: Utopia
This winter, in the wake of a pandemic, global protest movements, and a dramatic presidential election in the United States, Aperture releases "Utopia," an issue that shows that other ways of living are possible--when the collective will exists.
In "Utopia," artists, photographers, and writers envision a world without prisons, document visionary architecture, honor queer space and creativity, and dream of liberty through spiritual self-expression. They show us that utopia is not a far-fetched scheme, but rather a way of reshaping our future.
In a profile, Salamishah Tillet considers Tyler Mitchell's visions of Black people resting in open green space, a democratizing landscape in which Mitchell continuously asks himself: "What are the things that I can do to lessen the inherent hierarchies in the photography-shoot structure of seeing and being seen?" Sara Knelman shows the freeing possibilities of the feminist collage works of Lorna Simpson, Mickalene Thomas, Sara Cwynar, and Alanna Fields. Julian Rose speaks with the filmmaker Matt Wolf about his latest documentary, Spaceship Earth (2020), which follows the people who created Biosphere 2 in 1991. And Antwaun Sargent traces Black queer artists' journeys into immersive desire. "Utopia" also includes compelling portfolios by David Benjamin Sherry, Allen Frame, and Balarama Heller, whose respective works span time and geography, from bohemian New York to a Hare Krishna retreat in India.
"The utopian imagination tends to stir when the world feels simultaneously wrecked and malleable," the writer Chris Jennings notes, in a series of reflections by writers such as Olivia Laing and Nicole R. Fleetwood. Notions of utopia shouldn't be restricted to the fantasy of a fully realized ideal society, or the outsize, often failed, sometimes disastrous schemes and social experiments of the past. Instead, we might consider utopia a mode of vision and thought that shields us from hopelessness.
Rolling Stones
The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their almost 60-year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image. "The clothes and the hair are always impeccable," describes author Luc Sante. "They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos." Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture.
Produced in close collaboration with the band, this updated edition charts the Stones' remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 450 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world. Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones' own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is their official photographic record.
Features:
Over 450 pages of incredible images from some of the world's greatest photographers, including David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz, and Norman Parkinson.
Essays from award-winning writers David Dalton, Waldemar Januszczak, and Luc Sante
Appendix including the Stones in the media, a Stones timeline, a discography, and photographers' biographies
Photography to the Test of Abstraction
A hardcover compendium of contemporary abstract photography, featuring work from both established and emerging artists
Since its invention, photography has been associated with realism: what better medium is there to capture the world “exactly as it appears”? However, artists have long experimented with the camera’s ability to produce a less representational style of photography.
In this multifaceted collection of both analog and digital images, today’s most compelling photographers deploy a variety of techniques to create unexpected nonfigurative works.
Established photographers are included alongside emerging artists in this comprehensive survey of abstract photography that speaks to the medium’s endless possibilities. Texts and interviews with the individual artists supplement the photography and provide insight into their craft.
Artists include: Xavier Antin, Walead Beshty, Juliana Borinski, Stan Douglas, Paul Graham, Barbara Kasten, Anais Leu, Catherine Opie, Eileen Quinlan, Thomas Ruff, Laure Tiberghien, Wolfgang Tillmans and James Welling.
Bill Brandt
With a career spanning nearly half a century, Bill Brandt was a master of several major genres of photography: photojournalism, portraiture, the nude and landscapes. At first glance, Brandt's genres may appear unrelated, but when analysing his career in its entirety, a common theme comes to the forefront: what psychologist Sigmund Freud and philosopher Eugenio Trias called 'the sinister.' From his earliest photographs taken as an amateur in the 1930s to his late portraits and studies of the female body, Brandt expresses a fascination with the strange and dark aspects of life that only he can reveal. With 200 photographs from throughout Brandt's career, this book adds a crucial chapter to the analysis of this key figure in 20th-century photography.
Bill Brandt is set to become an authoritative retrospective.

From India, Myanmar and Cuba, to Togo, Ethiopia, Macedonia and the monasteries of Tibet - McCurry offers a new perspective on many of the locations across the globe. Each image is reproduced at large format and in remarkable detail and this new compilation reveals the incredible depth of his work.
"I compare photography to food, air, and sleep...this creative energy, this impulse, is what gives us purpose, pleasure, joy, happiness and love." Steve McCurry
Pulicar
Po více než dvaceti letech vychází teprve druhá kniha brněnského fotografa Jaroslava Pulicara (*1954). Autor je jeden z nejméně známých ze známých českých dokumentaristů. Jeho práce je známa jen několika málo zasvěceným. Autorových výstav bychom spočítali na prstech jedné ruky a textů zabývajících se hlouběji jeho prací máme k dispozici ještě méně. Dlouho zvažuje, jestli některou fotografii vypustí do světa. Ví, jak dělat to, co ho baví: být na cestě, fotografovat černobíle, stále na film. Tvorba Jaroslava Pulicara je osobitá mimo jiné tím, jak je v ní důsledný a nepolevuje. Nároky kladené na fotografický obraz jsou propojeny s jeho životními postoji. S mnohovrstevnatou nereportážní momentkou srostl natolik, že jí podřídil celý svůj život. Subjektivní momentní fotografii pěstuje jako náročné vztahování se ke světu.
