Ladislav Drezdowicz
Ladislav Drezdowicz, rodák z Petrovic u Karviné, odešel z Československa po okupaci v roce 1968. Jeho druhým domovem se stala švýcarská Basilej a nedobrovolný exil trvalým námětem jeho fotografické práce. „Nepovažuji za rozhodující být Čechem nebo Švýcarem. Podstatné je, co nás všechny spojuje,“ říká Drezdowicz, který ve své knize fotografií představuje snímky z různých koutů světa.
Drezdowicz však není sběratelem efektních momentek. Fotoaparát je pro něho nezbytným každodenním průvodcem, ať již žije několik měsíců v Indii a vyučuje angličtinu děti dalitů, nejnižší kasty tzv. nedotknutelných, či se každoročně vrací na Kapverdy, kde stranou zájmu a turistického ruchu živoří ostrované, mezi nimiž našel mnoho přátel.
Kniha zahrnuje také fotografie z jeho návratů do Čech, z cesty do Tibetu a také nevšední pohledy na život ve Švýcarsku ze souboru příznačně nazvaného Švýcarské rozmary.
Drezdowiczova fotografická kniha vypráví osobitý příběh muže, který se rozhodl vydat na cestu, na níž ho i díky pravidelné meditaci provází klid. Fotografii využívá k jisté existenciální reflexi světa i sebe sama a pomocí (ač černobílých) fotografií zprostředkovává své poznání, že svět není černobílý.
Slepí málokdy
Kniha Slepí málokdy spojuje v harmonický celek dvě protilehlé sféry: text, působící jako nástroj verbálního vyjadřování skutečnosti, a fotografii coby médium neverbální povahy, která skutečnost zachycuje.
Každé z osmdesáti jazykovo-obrazových zastavení, z nichž publikace sestává, přitom poukazuje na problematičnost a nejednoznačnost jazyka i fotografie jako prostředků komunikace a popisu reality. Ne každou větu lze číst jen jedním způsobem, ne každá ústní promluva odpovídá jednoznačnému písemnému vyjádření. Fotografie mohou text ilustrovat, ale i zamlžovat, vysvětlovat, ale i transformovat. Na knihu Slepí málokdy lze jistě pohlížet jen jako na sbírku jazykových rébusů a hříček nebo pouze jako na soubor uměleckých fotografií. Především se však jedná o dílo, které dokládá, že verbálním i neverbálním vyjadřováním skutečnost nejen popisujeme, nýbrž i vytváříme, a že jazyk i fotografie jsou nám v obou těchto ohledech velmi nedokonalými nástroji.
Jaroslav Beneš
Tvorba Jaroslava Beneše náleží k té linii české umělecké fotografie, v níž se završuje analogová éra, zakladatelská fáze technicky vzniklých obrazů, a reprezentuje tak pozdní, závěrečnou fázi modernity. Pro Beneše, který začal tvořil v sedmdesátých letech 20. století, je fotografie bytostnou životní potřebou, nezbytným prostředkem pro sebevyjádření.
Z hlediska námětu fotografuje Jaroslav Beneš všední detaily současné architektury, jeho tvorba ale především vyjadřuje pocit z doby, v níž žije. Nevyčerpává se však pouze estetickými vjemy, zajímá ho vždy, co je za nimi, tajemství, ono „cosi navíc“. U Beneše se nabízí termín minimalismus, ale na naplnění striktních minimalistických atributů se v jeho díle nachází „příliš mnoho“ osobního. Jeho fotografie jsou až iritující sloučeniny objektivity se subjektivitou a niterností. Typické pro jeho přístup rovněž je, že mu na fotografiích do určité míry nevadí technické vady, které během procesu vzniknou: nastal-li na vrstvě filmu či papíru kaz, netrápí se jím, nezastírá ho. Takovou chybu přijímá coby organickou součást „setkání“, jímž pro něho fotografie a celý proces jejího vzniku je.
The Altering Eye
In 1949 Georgia O'Keeffe chose the National Gallery of Art as the custodian of nearly 1,600 photographs by Alfred Stieglitz - the Key Set, as it has become known. With the formation in 1990 of the Gallery's department of photographs under Sarah Greenough, the collection has grown to 14,000 works of art, an assemblage that both charts the development of the medium and reveals the beauty and dynamic versatility of photography over its course of more than 175 years. This elegant book presents some of the most significant and compelling photographs acquired over the years, ranging from experimental photographs made in the earliest years of the medium's history to key works by major twentieth-century figures and contemporary pieces that reset the ways in which photography shapes our experience of the modern world. The guides on this enlightening walk through the history of the medium are members of the extraordinary curatorial team that established the National Gallery's international reputation for photography exhibitions and publications over the past twenty-five years, ever advancing the recognition of photography as a fine art.

Together, these insightful texts and awesome images offer a record of breathtaking photographic feats, a tribute to the beauty and might of the shark, and a rallying cry for its fragile future."
Marc Riboud
A member of Magnum, Marc Riboud has travelled the world, from Europe to the Middle East and from Vietnam to the United States. Repelled by violence, indifferent to the pursuit of 'events', yet irresistibly drawn by the desire to see, he is a reporter under the spell of life itself. Whether covering the Cultural Revolution or the Soviet Union before perestroika, he waits for the inner truth to 'rise to the surface of things'. These photographs reveal his intense awareness of the innate power of each image.

Exquisite Mayhem
Get up close, personal, and sweaty with some of the most famous wrestlers of the 60s and 70s, as well as with the sport's feisty sub-phenomenon known as "apartment wrestling." Pitting voluptuous bikini-clad women against one another in a staged photography set, apartment wrestling is what many a male fantasy is made of. This edition explores the craze with the classic photographs of Theo Ehret capturing the participants' bare breasts and buttocks, long, strong limbs and raw, raging passion. These provocative, performative images are accompanied by an essay on wrestling by Roland Barthes, biographical photos, and an interview with Ehret.
Germany around XL
This book rediscovers the very first color "photographic" images of Germany and with them a precious period of turn-of-the-century peace and prosperity. The images, dated from between 1889 and 1911, derive from the private collection of Marc Walter and, like TASCHEN's bestselling American Odyssey, are further rare examples of the Photochrom process, the first technique to obtain lithographic prints from a black and white photo negative. Spanning the length and breadth of Germany, this collection of almost 800 pictures transports us along the Rhine, through the mystical Black Forest, to the spa town of Baden-Baden, and to the historic cities of Bonn and Cologne. We travel through Hanover and Thuringen, over the rolling Alpine landscape, up the Elbe from Sachsen, through Dresden, Leipzig, Potsdam, Berlin and Hamburg, and over to the charming seaside resorts of Ostsee and Nordsee. Along the way we take in the castles of Louis II, exquisite architecture, everyday rural life, traditional regional costumes, as well as the infrastructural advances of modernity, from mountain trains to glistening boats out at sea.The result is a remarkable testimony to pre-war Germany and a time in which beauty and hope, not hostility and hardship, defined the land.

The Male Nude
The boys are back in town: A short history of male nude photography While the female nude has long played a conspicuous role in western iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such attention, or acceptance. Thisode to the male physiquecelebrates the evolving, at one time illicit, art form from anonymous 19th century erotica through to contemporary work fromDavid HockneyandDuane Michaels.Throughthe classic, the playful, and the provocative, it explores the compositions, postures, and role-playing of this often under-explored genre. Esteemed masters such asHerbert List, George Platt LynesorRobert Mapplethorpe are all there, alongsideBaron Wilhelm von Gloeden, famed for his homoerotic images ofnude youths in classical postures in Sicily.

Bettina Rheims
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 iconography and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection.
This limited Collector’s Edition is the ultimate Rheims retrospective, showcasing more than 500 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant, photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection juxtaposes renowned series such as Chambre Close with many previously unpublished archival pictures. A companion volume assembles press cuttings, behind-the-scenes material, and personal memories to trace her illustrious career.
Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the vigor of each image as for the variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to such global beauty stars as 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 the artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood.
Limited Collector’s Edition of 800 copies, each signed by Bettina Rheims.

Groupies
"...style and fashion mattered greatly, were central to their presentation, and I became fascinated with them...I discovered what I believed was a subculture of chic and I thought it merited a story." Baron WolmanThe 1960s witnessed a huge cultural revolution. Music was at the heart of a new generation's rallying cry for love, peace and harmony - from small clubs to giant festivals like Woodstock. With men predictably dominating as musicians and performers, the women and girls backstage started to explore their own forms of liberation and self-expression. They became better known as the Groupies - offering their allegiance to the music, and the artists who made it.On February 15, 1969 Rolling Stone magazine released a 'Special Super-Duper Neat Issue' called 'THE GROUPIES and Other Girls' featuring the work of their chief photographer, Baron Wolman. It would turn out to be a sensational milestone, making instant celebrities of the women featured. With this single issue, the Groupies had arrived.They emerged as extraordinary women, whose lifestyles divided opinion and remain controversial.Some became models, actresses, writers, artists and musicians - the GTOs, the original 'Groupie band' admired and encouraged by Frank Zappa, is featured here. Others fell into obscurity.Now, over 45 years later, ACC and Iconic Images are proud to publish the photographs of Baron Wolman in a single volume for the first time. Groupies and Other Girls features more than 150 images, including previously unseen out-takes and contact sheets, and comes complete with the original Rolling Stone text, as well as interviews with several of the women today.
