Jiří Všetečka ...chodec s objektivem
Fotograf a pedagog Jiří Všetečka (* 1937) se proslavil umělecko-dokumentárními cykly, v nichž zvěčnil svoji celoživotní lásku Prahu. K dalším oblíbeným námětům patří portréty „obyčejných lidí“ doma i v zahraničí. Jeho fotografie jsou rarita sama o sobě, neboť používá výhradně aparáty na klasický film a většinou fotí černobíle na čtvercový formát. Uspořádal téměř 30 samostatných výstav, s největším ohlasem se setkala výstava Pražský chodec, která vycházela se stejnojmenné poblikace. Nejnovější, v pořadí 22 knihu s kolekcí unikátních snímků, nazval Jiří Všetečka …chodec s objektivem. Ujal se i role vypravěče, protože publikaci koncipoval jako ohlédnutí za svým profesně bohatým životem. Obrazem i slovem tak zachytil pražská zákoutí, která už dávno neexistují. Samostanou kapitolu věnoval záběrům z divadelních představení, natáčení filmů a vystoupení České filharmonie s důrazem na osobnosti, jako byly například režiséři Václav Krška a František Vláčil, herci Oldřich Nový a Magda Vášáryová nebo šéfdirigent Václav Neumann. Podělil se také o „triky a kouzla“ s objektivy a ve fotokomoře, kde tvořil například fotokoláže, a osobité zkušenosti s publikováním snímků a knih. Z bohatého archivu vybral rovněž reportážní fotografie věnované sportu, poutním místům, výjezdům se záchrannou službou nebo „ohniváčům “ ve slévárně. Neopomněl ani dějinné mezníky jako sovětskou okupaci a sametovou revoluci. Přidal nevšední portréty prezidentů, kupříkladu Václava Havla nebo Billa Clintona. Jak Jiří Všetečka uvádí: „Svůj život jsem si v podstatě nafotil. Jaký byl ? Nádherný, jedinečný, naplněný. Pár okamžiku jsem prošvihl, ale mnohdy jsem měl kliku. Ne jako od rumpálu, ale od života…“
Ľuba Lauffová
Publikácia ponúka čitateľovi možnosť prežívať alebo znovuprežívať tvorbu Ľuby Lauffovej, ktorá takmer tridsať rokov nielen spoluvytvárala, ale priamo určovala obraz slovenskej výtvarnej fotografie, dopĺňala európsky kontext a zásadným spôsobom vstupovala do diskusií o novej podobe tejto umeleckej oblasti, predovšetkým posúvaním hraníc tradične chápanej fotografie smerom k objektu či performancii.
Svobodný, ženatý, rozvedený, vdovec
Život ako bestseller – literárna spoveď svetoznámeho českého fotografa. Autorská kniha, ilustrovaná jeho čiernobielymi fotografiami, podáva svojský pohľad na vlastný život a ľudí, ktorí ním prešli. Ako vidí sám seba a svoje okolie Jan Saudek.
Memento Mori
Memento Mori takes the reader on a ghoulish but beautiful tour of some of the worlds more unusual sacred sites and traditions, in which human remains are displayed for the benefit of the living. From burial caves in Indonesia festooned with bones, to
skulls smoking cigarettes, wearing beanie hats and sunglasses, and decorated with garlands of flowers in South America, Paul Koudounaris ventures beyond the grave to find messages of hope and salvation. His glorious colour photographs and informed commentaries reveal that in many places, the realms of the living and the dead are nowhere near so distinct as contemporary Western society would have us believe.
Linda McCartney
The world through Linda's eyes: A retrospective of Linda McCartney's life and photography In 1966, during a brief stint as a receptionist for Town and Country magazine, Linda Eastman snagged a press pass to a very exclusive promotional event for the Rolling Stones aboard a yacht on the Hudson River. With her fresh, candid photographs of the band, far superior to the formal shots made by the band's official photographer, Linda secured her name as a rock 'n' roll photographer. Two years later, in
May 1968, she entered the record books as the first female photographer to have her work featured on the cover of Rolling Stone with her portrait of Eric Clapton. She went on to capture many of rock's most important musicians on film, including Areth
a Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, The Doors, and the Grateful Dead. In 1967, Linda went to London to document the "Swinging Sixties," where she met Paul McCartney at the Bag 'O Nails club and subsequently photographed The Beatles during a launch event for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Paul and Linda fell in love, and were married on March 12, 1969. For the next three decades, until her untimely death, she devoted herself to her family, vegetarianism, animal rights, and photography. From her early rock 'n' roll portraits, through the final years of The Beatles, to raising four children with Paul, Linda captured her whole world on film. Her shots range from spontaneous family pictures to studio sessions with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, as well as encounters with artists Willem de Kooning and Gilbert and George. Always unassuming and fresh, her work displays a warmth and feeling for the precise moment that captures the essence of any subject. Whether photographing her children, celebrities, animals, or a fleeting moment of everyday life, she did so without pretension or artifice. This retrospective volume is a lasting and deeply personal testament to Linda's talen
t, produced in close collaboration with the McCartney family, with forewords by Paul, Stella, and Mary McCartney.
Photographers A-Z
Masters and monographs: An encyclopedia of 20th century photographers and their finest publications Arranged alphabetically, this biographical encyclopedia features every major photographer of the 20th century alongside her or his most significant monographs. From the earliest representatives of classical Modernism right up to the present day, Photographers A-Z celebrates those photographers who have distinguished themselves with important publications or exhibitions, and who have made a significant contribution to the culture of the photographic image. The entries include photographers from North America and Europe as well as from Japan, Latin America, Africa, and China. Richly illustrated with facsimiles from books and magazines, the coll
ection also features photographers working in "applied" areas, whose work is regarded as photographic art. Star turns include Julius Shulman, Terry Richardson, Cindy Sherman, and David LaChapelle.
Fraulein
Ellen von Unwerth was a supermodel before the term was invented, so she knows a thing or two about photographing beautiful women. Now one of the world's most original and successful fashion photographers, she pays homage to the world's most delectable females in Fraulein. This celebration of our era's sexiest female icons includes Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci and dozens more. Switching effortlessly between color and immaculate black and white, von Unwerth's photography revels in sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor, decadence and sheer joie de vivre. Whether nude or in lingerie and a dazzling smile. Her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have stumbled into a secret world. Fashion and fantasy were never so enchantingly combined. These images were shot over the last 15 years and many are previously unpublished.
The Best of Doisneau: Paris
The legendary photographer's quintessential portraits of Paris--including several previously unpublished works--in an affordable new paperback. Robert Doisneau's ability to infuse images of daily life with poetic nuance has given enduring popular app
eal to his work. In this new volume, he leads us on an entrancing tour into Parisian gardens, along the Seine, and through crowds of Parisians. Workers, beggars, lovers, jugglers, children, dancers--Doisneau's lens captures all, in myriad lights and moods. Sometimes humorous, often ironic, and unfailingly tender, his oeuvre is iconic and reflects the Paris of our dreams. Composed, structured images are featured alongside impromptu snapshots of Parisian life, demonstrating the range of Doisneau's talent as both artist and photojournalist.
Reálný minimalismus / Real Minimalism
Jde o sérii „dokumentárních fotografií“, které vznikaly během sedmi let v průběhu mých cest po různých částech světa – Evropy, Asie, Ameriky… Během těchto pobytů či putování jsem se snažil dokumentovat minimalistické objekty nebo přesněji řečeno předměty, které se jim podobají. Pokoušel jsem se dodržovat co nejužší a nejstriktnější tvarový výběr. Ten se finálně omezil pouze na objekty ve tvaru krychle a kvádru. Chtěl jsem zachytit stav, v jakém se současné neomodernistické myšlení nachází. Stav bez velkých idejí, kde možná existuje jakási vnitřní touha, ale ve skutečnosti převažuje pouze latentní strach z nich. „Reálný minimalismus“ má terminologicky blízko k „reálnému socialismu“ bez utopického aspektu. Tím míním to, že mapuje a vyjadřuje reálný sociální stav této rozpačité myšlenkové entity. Jsou to jakési trosky Tatlinovy Třetí Internacionály, o kterou se jako o Eiffelovku nikdo nestaral, protože na to nebyly ve východním bloku peníze ani vůle, a ta se tak časem rozpadla a její trosky byly roztahány a zrecyklovány po celém světě. Zbytky této utopie mají jinou funkci – daleko banálnější, obyčejnou a ve většině případů tajemnou, nejistou a pochybnou.
Mario Testino. SIR
From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR, his largest book to-date, the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men.
Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino's archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby.
Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti’s The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men’s changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino’s eye and impeccable intuition.
Limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by Mario Testino, bound in Japanese cloth, and delivered in a metal slipcase.
Invisible City
For a decade, Ken Schles watched the passing of time from his Lower East Side neighborhood. His camera fixed the instances of his observations, and these moments became the foundation of his “invisible city.” Friends and architecture come under the scrutiny of his lens and, when sorted and viewed in the pages of this book, a remarkable achievement of personal vision emerges. Twenty-five years later, Invisible City still has the ability to transfix the viewer. A penetrating and intimate portrayal of a world few had entrance to ? or means of egress from ? Invisible City stands alongside Brassai’s Paris de Nuit and van der Elsken’s Love On The Left Bank as one of the twentieth century’s great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience. Documenting his life in New York City’s East Village during its heyday in the tumultuous 1980s, Schles captured its look and attitude in delirious and dark honesty. Long out of print, this “missing link” in the history of the photo book is now once again made available. Using scans from the original negatives and Steidl’s quadratone technique to bring out nuance and detail never seen before, this new edition transcends the original of this underground cult classic.
Strandbeest: The Dream Machines of Theo Jansen
For the past seven years, photographer and artist Lena Herzog has followed the evolution of a new, kinetic species. Intricate as insects, but with bursts of equine energy, the "Strandbeests" or "beach creatures," are the creation of Dutch artistTheo Jansen, who has been working for nearly two decades to develop a new life-form that moves, and even survives, on its own.
Set to roam the beaches of Holland, the Strandbeests pick up the wind in their gossamer wings and spring, as if by metamorphosis, into action. As if it were blood, not the breeze, running through their delicate forms, they quiver, cavort, and trot against the sun and sea, pausing to change direction if they sense loose sand or water that might destabilize their movement.
Coinciding with a travelling exhibition, Herzog's photographic tribute captures Jansen's menagerie in a meditative black and white, showcasing Jansen'simaginative vision, as well as the compelling intersection of animate and inanimate in his creatures. The result is a work of art in its own right and a mesmerizing encounter not only with a very surrealist brand of marvelous, but also with whole new ideas of existence.
The author and photographer:
Born and raised in Russia’s Urals, Lena Herzog studied languages and literature at St. Petersburg University, before emigrating to the United States in 1990 where she studied philosophy. She began taking pictures in 1997, and has since authored the photography books Tauromaquia, Flamenco, Pilgrims, and Lost Souls. Her work has been published in The New York Times, Harper’s Magazine, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and Vanity Fair and exhibited in Europe and the United States.
The artist:
Dutch visual artist Theo Jansen studied science at the University of Delft. He spent his early career painting, before deciding to strike out on a new course by making a real flying saucer which flew over Delft in 1980. Since then he has been working on the creation of the Strandbeest species. Jansen’s work has been featured in several television programs, as well as in The New Yorker, New Scientist, and Wired.
The contributing author:
Lawrence Weschler is Director Emeritus of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU. A former staff writer at The New Yorker, he is the author of over 15 books, including the Pulitzer-nominated Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonderand Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences, winner of the 2007 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. He is a contributing editor at Threepenny Review, The Virginia Quarterly Review, and McSweeney's.
Stephen Shore - Survey
Stephen Shore has had a significant influence on multiple generations of artists and photographers. Even for the youngest photographers working today, his work remains an ongoing and indisputable reference point. This book copublished with Fundación MAPFRE in conjunction with the first-ever retrospective exhibition, includes over 250 images that span Shores impressive and productive career. The images range from 1969 to 2013, with series such as Early Works, Amarillo, New York City, American Surfaces, and Uncommon Places, among others. Stephen Shore: Survey elucidates Shores contributions, as well as the historiographical interpretations of his work that have influenced photographic culture over the past four decades. Both the exhibition and the narrative of the catalogue are conceptualized around three particularly revealing aspects of Shores work, including his analysis of photographic and visual language, his topographical approach to the contemporary landscape, and his significant use of color within a photographic context.
Beyond the Wall: The East German Collection of the Wende Museum
Life behind the Iron Curtain. Art and artifacts from East Germany. The history book to make history. This groundbreaking volume features hundreds of GDR political artifacts, design pieces, and everyday objects from the Wende Museum, Los Angeles, established in 2002 to study the culture of the former Eastern Bloc. From high fashion photography to secret police surveillance equipment, this extraordinary collection reveals the full scope of human experience and potential in a now-vanished world. For 40 years, the Cold War dominated the world stage. East and West Germany stood at the frontlines of the global confrontation, symbolized by the infamous Berlin Wall, which separated friends, families, and countrymen. But while the world teetered on the edge, life went on in the communist East, as it did in the capitalist West. From the outside, it seemed that life behind the Iron Curtain was gray and dull, but beneath the surface of its faded buildings, it was filled with color, texture and deeply-held convictions. The Wende Museum in Los Angeles, California, named after the period of change following the destruction of the Berlin Wall, was created in 2002 to study the visual and material culture of the former Eastern Bloc. With physical and psychic distance from political trauma and personal attachment, it aims to foster multiple perspectives and interpretations of a pivotal and multilayered history that has continues to shape our world. To commemorate the Museum's 10-year anniversary, this unprecedented and encyclopedic volume features thousands of items from its extraordinary collections, including icons of East German design and political advertisement as well as everyday objects and images from a now-vanished world. Never before has a book included this full a spectrum of art, archives, and artifacts from socialist East Germany: official symbols and dissident expressions, the spectacular and the routine, the mass-produced and the handmade, the beautiful and the ugly, and the funny and the tragic. Accompanying the featured collections are illuminating and provocative texts from scholars and specialists from Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States (Paul Betts, Andreas Ludwig, Josie McLellan, Katherine Pence, Eli Rubin, Jana Scholze, Joes Segal, Edith Sheffer, David Thomson), with themes ranging from the secret police to sexuality, space flight to flight across the border, and from monuments to mental-mapping.

Norman Mailer. JFK.
A time for greatness. This is Norman Mailer's game-changing coverage of John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. With his Hollywood good looks, boundless enthusiasm, and mesmeric media presence, John F. Kennedy was destined to capture the imaginations of the more than 70 million Americans who watched the nation's first televised presidential debate. Just days after beating out Richard Nixon by the narrowest margin in history, Kennedy himself said, "It was the TV more than anything else that turned tide." But one man begged to differ: writer Norman Mailer, who bragged that his pro-Kennedy treatise, "Superman Comes to the Supermarket," had "won the election for Kennedy." Whether or not that was the case, the article, published in Esquire magazine just weeks before polls opened, did redefine political reporting and New Journalism with Mailer's frank, first-person voice identifying Kennedy as the "existential hero" who could awaken the nation from its postwar slumber and conformist Eisenhower years. Now, TASCHEN reimagines this no-holds-barred portrait of one of America's most revered presidents on his path to the White House, publishing Mailer's essay in book form with over 300 photographs that bring the campaign and the candidate's family to life. These images were captured by some of the great photojournalists of the day - Cornell Capa, Jacques Lowe, Paul Schutzer, Stanley Tretick, Hank Walker - and appear in this volume alongside many never-before-published photos by Garry Winogrand and Burton Berinsky, providing a fascinating look at the man who declared the '60 "a time for greatness."
