Comet presents the amazing story of the Rosetta space probe and its interstellar voyage to the comet Tchoury. Its mission - to find clues to the origins of our solar system and the emergence of life on Earth. Following a ten-year voyage and a journey spanning millions of kilometres through our Solar System, the Rosetta entered the comet's orbit. Its lander, Philae - a miniature science laboratory - landed directly on Tchoury's surface and was able to take the photographs presented here. This triumph of scientific endeavour brought back a raft of incredible new photographs, the best of which are featured here. The book is built around the various phases in Rosetta's journey: leaving Earth, breaching its atmosphere and watching the lights of home recede; skirting the Moon and coming close to Mars; plunging into the cosmos' starry void and approaching the comet; and, finally, landing on Tchoury. The photographs are accompanied by a text that reflects on the objectives of the mission and the accomplishment of such a technological feat for humanity. Detailed captions provide the reader with accessible scientific information, enabling them to get to the heart of the subject.

Bologna Portraits is the portrait of one of the most charming and least well-known Italian cities portrayed through the faces of the people who live there today. It started during the artist's many stays in the town. Discovering Bologna little by little, Jacopo Benassi took pictures, like a sort of notebook, of the faces of the most interesting people he met during his time there. After a few months he already had a large portfolio of people which, like in a mosaic, built a bigger portrait of the whole city today. Bologna is probably the best-kept secret of the Italian cities with a great past. Large-scale tourism has never affected it, but in recent years it has been discovered by a growing group of sophisticated travellers passionate about art, culture, cinema and food. The portraits are a mix of young artists, writers, minor and great musicians, leading businessmen, famous bar tenders, tailors, professors at the local university (the oldest in the Western world), personalities and international artists such as Nino Migliori and Luigi Ontani. All of them born or living in Bologna. The whole book is a study of real faces that are able to be meaningful and to tell a story, and recall a tradition like the study of faces by Pier Paolo Pasolini in some of his films, or Andy Warhol's Screen Tests. But at the same time, they recall a masterpiece like Un Paese, the book produced by Paul Strand and Cesare Zavattini. The book includes a text by art critic Antonio Grulli.

Seeing Science offers an insightful and reader-friendly collection of essays and pictures about photography's role in visualizing science and building human knowledge--from micro to macro levels and everything in between. Photography and science have long been intertwined, helping to shape the way we look at the world. Scientists use photography as a way to gather information, explore, and learn, but just as important, photography is also used to promote scientific advances and has long served as an interface between the sciences and the public. Our understanding of outer space depends on images sent to Earth from the Hubble Space Telescope, just as our understanding of our own bodies depends on X-rays. Images make visible what lies beyond human perception. Science is less an edifice of facts than a process of discovery and inquiry. In this way, it is not dissimilar to art; artists have engaged with some of the same scientific principles, using photography to imagine the world differently and present us with new experiences and ways of seeing. This volume presents both perspectives exploring how science is made perceptible, featuring over three hundred images and sixty short texts. Together they engage readers in a timely exploration of the extent to which our knowledge is formed and transformed through our interactions with photographic imagery.

The first book to showcase and critically explore the groundbreaking photography of fashion magazines over the last century For nearly a century, fashion magazines have provided sophisticated platforms for cutting-edge photography - work that challenges conventions and often reaches far beyond fashion itself. In this book, acclaimed photography critic Vince Aletti has selected 100 significant magazine issues from his expansive personal archive, revealing images by photographers rarely seen outside their original context. With his characteristic elan and featuring stunning images, Aletti has created a fresh, idiosyncratic, and previously unexplored angle on the history of photography.

Elmgreen & Dragset's constructed environments have been celebrated all over the world for their mischievous, cerebral, and accessible nature. This is the first comprehensive presentation of the duo's work, from their early performative pieces in the late 1990s to their most recent public projects Drawing from disciplines as divergent as institutional critique, social politics, performance, design, and architecture, Elmgreen & Dragset's work reconfigure the familiar with characteristic and subversive wit. Their sculptures and installations, also known as 'Powerless Structures', have redefined what it means to experience art - the cover features their work Van Gogh's Ear, a sculpture in the form of a swimming pool, which is located on Fifth Avenue in New York at the entrance to the Rockefeller Center. This book includes all of their most significant projects, from the transformation of New York's Bohen Foundation into a subway station in 2004, to the siting of a fake Prada boutique in the Texan desert in 2005, and the installation of the statue of a child on a rocking horse on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2012. Elmgreen & Dragset is the latest addition to the acclaimed Phaidon Contemporary Artists Series.

On July 20, 1969, science fiction became reality. Revisit the momentous moon landing in the 50thanniversary editionof Norman Mailer’s classic book on the Apollo 11 mission. This volume includes hundreds of imagessourced from the NASA vaults, magazine archives, and private collections, documenting the lead up to, aftermath, and breathtaking moments of that giant leap for mankind. It has been called the single most historic event of the 20th century: On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collinsmet John F. Kennedy’s call for a manned Moon landing by the end of the 1960s. A decade of tests and training, a staff of 400,000 engineers and scientists, a budget of billions, and the most powerful rocket ever launched all combined in an unprecedented event watched by millions the world over. And no one captured the men, the mood, and the machinery like Norman Mailer. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century, Norman Mailerwas hired byLIFEmagazine in 1969 to cover the Moon shot. He enhanced his reportage in the brilliantly crafted book, Of a Fire on the Moon, which is excerpted here. Equally adept at examiningthe science of space travel and the psychology of the people involved—from Saturn V rocket engineer Wernher von Braun to the crucial NASA support staff to the three astronauts—Mailer provides provocative and trenchant insights into this epoch-making event. Illustrating this volume are hundreds of photographsand maps from the NASA vaults, magazine archives, and private collections. These images document the development of the agency and the mission, life inside the command module and on the Moon’s surface, and the world’s jubilant reaction to the landing. This 50-year anniversary editionincludes captions by leading Apollo 11 expertsthat explain the history and science behind the images, citing the mission log, publications of the day, and postflight astronaut interviews; while an evocative introduction by Colum McCanncelebrates Mailer’s incomparable skill at transforming “the science of space... the weight of history... the breadth of mythology” into prose. The author Norman Mailer(1923–2007) was one of the 20th century’s greatest and most influential writers, as well as one of America’s most renowned and controversial literary figures. The best-selling author of a dozen novels and 20 works of nonfiction, he also wrote stage plays, screenplays, television miniseries, hundreds of essays, two books of poetry, and a collection of short stories. A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, he lived in Brooklyn, New York, and Provincetown, Massachusetts. The contributing author Colum McCannis the author of eight books, including Let the Great World Spin. He has written for The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, GQ, The Times(London), The Irish Times, and La República.

Only a handful of people have attempted to climb the "Volcanic Seven Summits" -the continents' tallest volcanoes. Adrian Rohnfelder, a photographer with a keen interest in volcanoes and adventure, has embarked on this extraordinary journey. Adrian Rohnfelder cycles high above the steaming rainforests in the Kilimanjaro massif, crosses the seething heat of the Atacama Desert in Chile, and climbs the summit of Orizaba under dramatic circumstances. He knows the no-man's-land of the Antarctic and the spectacularly-glaciated Mount Sidley, so remote that only a handful of people have ever seen it. Rohnfelder is the first travel and adventure photographer to climb the seven highest volcanoes across the Earth's seven continents. Since 2008, when the "firework virus" first struck him in Indonesia, he has remained mesmerized by these glowing giants. His goal is not the volcano summit itself, but the photographs that emerge all along the journey there. His images tell the full story of his spectacular trips, recording the unique splendor of each country he encounters. The result is a photography book that not only portrays the beauty and spectacle of volcanoes-the surface lava, the smoke, the intense heat, and colors-but also celebrates the rich beauty of our planet and its many peoples. Through these dramatic images, we see both the power of the natural world and the diversity of human cultures around the globe. And contrary to common conception, Rohnfelder also shows us that from fire to ice is often less than a stone's throw away.

Ikonické momenty z dějin lidstva v živých barvách, jak je viděli tenkrát. Přes 120 černobílých fotografií bylo realisticky a se smyslem pro historický detail kolorováno, a uvedeno v nový život. Cestujte časem a prožijte příběhy od vynálezu fotografie, přes postavení Eiffelovky, potopení Titaniku, významné objevy až k událostem obou světových válek. Díky výjimečné spolupráci výtvarníka Jordana Lloyda a kurátora Wolfganga Wilda ožije před vašima očima doba téměř dvou století. Speciálně pro české vydání autoři knihy kolorovali 5 nových fotografií. Barevné zpracování poskytne nečekaný vhled do událostí, které z médií či učebnic dávno považujeme za všední. Zasvěcené komentáře a dobové citáty u každého snímku vtahují do děje a dovolí nám historii prožít tak, jako by se události nestaly před desítkami let či v předminulém století, ale včera. Revoluční kolekce fotografií se tak moc blíží skutečnému cestování časem, jak je to jen možné. Mezi vyobrazeními najdeme dobové kuriozity, jako je např. pouliční prodavač mumií a jiných záhrobních předmětů z Egypta 19. století nebo nahrávání řvu lva pro filmovou znělku studií MGM. Spatříme stavbu pařížské baziliky Sacré-Coeur i Eiffelovy věže (natřena byla nespočetněkrát, ale původně to byla benátská červeň); ledovec, do nějž s největší pravděpodobností narazil Titanik; pokusy s kluzákem bratří Wrightů i první přelet francouzského pilota Louise Blériota z Calais do Doveru, jenž se ocitnul také na obálce knihy. Zcela úchvatný je výhled z polární jeskyně během expedice Roberta Falcona Scotta Terra Nova (díky rozsáhlému průzkumu autoři tvrdí, že nepromokavé bundy tragicky zahynuvších polárníků byly doopravdy žluté). A pohled do očí imigrantů, kteří do Spojených států přicházeli ze všech končin světa přes Ellis Island, nás zase přesvědčí o pravdivosti pojmu tavicí kotlík. Z dějin fotografie spatříme první fotografický autoportrét i silné a sociálně-kritické snímky od Dorothey Langeové, jako je Kočující matka, anebo Mechanik od Lewise Hinea. Pro mnohé z nás se historie udála v černé a bílé. Rozumem dobře chápeme, že to není pravda, stejně jako je nám jasné, že lidé ve filmech z počátku 20. století ve skutečnosti nechodili, jako by je někdo zrychlil. Jenže když naše oko spočine na černobílé fotografii, jako by to potvrdilo náš předpoklad, že přesně takhle minulost vypadala. Jenže se mýlíme: Minulost nebyla malá, vybledlá, poškrábaná a potrhaná. Byla tak jako nikdy nekončící přítomný okamžik velká, čistá, ostrá, kompletní a plná barev. Minulost a současnost byly totéž, jsou totéž,tvrdí Wolfgang Wild, spoluautor výpravné obrazové knihy Historie v barvě. Cílem kolorizátora je vytvořit obrázek natolik přesvědčivý, že barva v něm se stane samozřejmě přehlíženou součástí obrazu. Snímky v této knize jsou pro mě obrovsky silné, a to bez ohledu na to, jestli dostaly barevný kabát, nebo ne, prohlašuje anglický výtvarník Jordan J. Lloyd, který se ve svém studiu Dynachrome profesionálně zabývá kolorováním historických fotografií. Pracuje pro komerční klienty, jakými jsou Jim Beam, Indian Motorcycles, magazíny Surfer nebo National Geographic, pro řadu vydavatelů včetně Time Life a instituce jako Imperial War Museum, BBC nebo University of Cambridge. Přednášel na konferencích Applu, Adobe a Britského filmového institutu. Spolupracuje s řadou archivů a muzeí, měl výstavy v Londýně, Drážďanech a New Yorku.

Publikace mapuje proměny novinářské fotografie a nahlíží možnosti jejího uplatnění v české mediální krajině druhé poloviny 20. století. Rekapituluje postavení fotožurnalismu, jeho role a úrovně v jednotlivých vývojových etapách a snahy českých publicistů o vytvoření teoretických rámců. Mezi dobovými fotoreportéry a fotožurnalisty si autorka vybírá především ty, kteří svým pochopením pro fotografii a její nekonvenční uplatňování přesahovali obecně prosazované a akceptované standardy. Fotografy, kteří fotografii nevnímali jako ilustrační doprovod bez jakýchkoli žurnalistických ambicí a svojí prací v redakcích slavných časopisů, jako byl Svět v obrazech, Mladý svět nebo Stadión, ovlivňovali vizuální vkus čtenářů.

Fotografická monografie Petra Zhoře přináší průřez jeho celoživotním dílem od šedesátých let po současnost. Najdete v ní tedy vše podstatné z autorova originálního rukopisu, pro který jsou typické zneklidňující světelné linie, nezúčastněné tváře figurín, chladné odlesky, včetně surrealistické technizující poetiky zdůrazněné tónováním černobílé fotografie. Zhoř má mimořádný pozorovací talent a občas můžete mít pocit, že vidí i to, co se odehrává hluboko pod povrchem – třeba ve vašem nitru. Nevšedně graficky zpracovanou knihu doprovází erudovaný text PhDr. Michala Janaty.

The body remains a battleground. Politicized, conceptualized and increasingly shared, our often-paradoxical relationship with the human form is nothing new, but finds itself heightened in the digitised, virtualised era of the `post-industrial' body. No longer a tool but a work-in-progress, our bodily expectations bound from fantasy to reality, beauty to tyranny, art to commerce and curiosity to obsession, leaving us dreaming of other bodies and alternate lives. Surveying a range of over 360 photographic re-presentations from the worlds of art, fashion, scientific and vernacular photography - including the work of Nobuyoshi Araki, Bettina Rheims, Lauren Greenfield, Viviane Sassen, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Daido Moriyama, Sally Mann, Pieter Hugo and Juergen Teller, Solve Sundsbo and Daniel Sannwald - Body: The Photography Book explores what our imaging of the human form, and the ways in which those images have been used and shared, might reflect of our relationship to the body. Supporting the broad range of photography is a foreword by a cultural critic, and an essay by the acclaimed psychologist Professor David Sander, PhD., discussing the neurological representation of our own bodies.

This handsome publication presents legendary American photographer Berenice Abbott's work in three categories: her portraits, photographs of the city and scientific photographs. The opening section presents Abbott's portraits of mold-breaking individuals who changed the world from the mid-1920s onward such as Djuna Barnes, the New Yorker's Janet Flanner, Jean Cocteau and James Joyce. The second part offers a dazzling portrait of New York which takes into account Abbott's relations with and her fascination for the work of Eugene Atget by including an introductory group of his photographs, which she printed from his negatives. The third and final section focuses on Abbott's scientific photographs, which she started to produce in the late 1940s. Berenice Abbott was undoubtedly one of the defining portraitists of New York. Shops, people, bridges, streets, interiors, famous buildings under construction seen from outside or from above (the same ones that are visible today from the highway that runs round Manhattan) together make up this portrait. Berenice Abbott (1891-1991) was born in Springfield, Ohio. She began her photography career in 1923, as Man Ray's darkroom assistant. Her work is collected in some of the most prestigious museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art.

A member of the celebrated Magnum agency, Richard Kalvar has spent more than four decades building up a diverse body of work that is characterized by a finely honed sense of observation. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1944, he has travelled all over the world, capturing fleeting details and moments of absurdity. His images suggest glimpses into untold stories, reflecting an idiosyncratic approach to the act and practice of photography.

In its most prestigious exhibition to date, the Fondation Beyeler has devoted itself to the early paintings and sculptures of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) that date from his so-called Blue and Pink periods to early Cubism. The paintings from this stage of his career, all produced between 1901 and 1907, are milestones on the road Picasso took to becoming the most famous artist of the twentieth century. They can be counted among modernism's most beautiful and most emotional works, and are also some of the most precious works of art ever to exist. This comprehensive exhibition and its companion catalogue feature around eighty masterpieces, most of which are only rarely loaned out by famous museums and private collections around the world.EXHIBITIONFebruary 3 - May 26, 2019Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel
