"This book offers an opportunity to witness the evolution of Araki's work as understood by the artist himself." -THE Magazine
"...An unflinching leer into urban Japan's unique sexual underworld." -Nerve.com
"He possesses the almost magical ability to transform the most mundane details into objects of fascination, to impregnate them with a raw sexual energy.... This mischievous photographer provokes viewers with images of the female form that are often oddly sensuous and objective at the same time, both
erotica and cerebral. Ultimately, Araki presents us with a puzzle: the naked human psyche itself." -The Japan Times


Book Description
" There is nothing more interesting than women, and nothing more exciting." -Nobuyoshi Araki

Araki by Araki is a record of the career of Nobuyoshi Araki, self-styled "photomaniac" and permanent enfant terrible of the Japanese art world. Published to mark the artist's sixty-third birthday on May 25, 2003, this volume features 2002 photographs covering his entire career from 1963 to 2002.

Sex-trade voyeur, recorder of Tokyo cityscapes, chronicler of married life, or experimental photo artist - no matter what your image of Araki, this collection will reveal new aspects of his talent, as it traces his unique vision over forty prolific years.

All the pictures were selected by Araki himself (who also provides an original commentary), making Araki by Araki not only a comprehensive but highly personal overview of the artist's work to date. High quality color and duotone black and white printing ensure the highest standard of reproduction
throughout.

 Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age (精装版)

简介

Paperback:400 pages Publisher:Aperture (June 15, 2005) Language:English ISBN-10:0893815500 ISBN-13:978-0893815509 Product Dimensions:12.7 x 9.7 x 1.1 inches Shipping Weight:5.9 pounds

 

Even as machines, robots and computers replace workers, Salgado's powerful, striking photographs reveal the backbreaking and unrelenting toil that is still the lot of millions of men and women around the globe. Never preachy or didactic, these 350 duotone images of tea pickers in Rwanda, dam builders in India, steelworkers in France and Ukraine, sugarcane harvesters in Brazil, assembly-line workers in Russia and China, sulfur miners in Indonesia and others, pay tribute to working people who preserve their dignity in the harshest conditions. In the lyrical accompanying essay, Salgado ( An Uncertain Grace ) laments Japan's industrial fishing which decimates fish stocks, France's agricultural policies and the global exploitation of manual laborers who do the bulk of the world's work.

 

Salgado, an economist by training, documents the unforgettable faces of workers at their jobs around the world. His widely published images of the oil-field firefighters in Kuwait may be the most familiar to U.S. readers. The catalog for a traveling exhibition, this book is divided into six chapters--Agriculture, Food, Mining, Industry, Oil, and Construction--that show the basest realities of work in some of its uncountable forms, from fishing in Spain, to textile factories in Kazakhstan, Eurotunnel construction in France, a slaughterhouse in South Dakota, and gold miners in Brazil. The reader almost never sees a smiling face or evidence of job satisfaction. Instead, this is an iconography of wage-labor toil, alienation, and survival. The location and subject of each related group of images are announced in the table of contents; otherwise, one needs to consult a separate softbound booklet in a pocket in the back, which offers Salgado's facts and statistics about the particular natural resource, geographical area, and type of work pictured. The reproductions here are of superb quality. The winner of numerous international photography awards, Salgado ( An Uncertain Grace , LJ 2/1/91) has renewed the "concerned photographer" genre and produced one of the finest books of this decade. Essential for all art and photography collections.

《戴安娜·阿勃斯：启示》(Diane Arbus:Revelations)

简介

本书有200幅独幅的阿勃斯主要作品，大量的相关文字，包括评论、传记，甚至关于阿勃斯印片技巧的讨论，还有300多幅图片展示了阿勃斯的笔记、信札等物品。这是目前有关Diane Arbus的内容最丰富的一本书。

 

戴安娜·阿勃斯(1923-1971)大部分的作品都取材于五、六十年代的纽约及郊区。她最早的摄影作品刊登在1960年的《君子（Esquire）》杂志。在接下来的10年中，她为《君子》、《哈泼时尚（Harper's Bazaar）》、《星期日时报杂志（The Sunday Times Magazine）》以及其他杂志工作，共发表作品100多幅。她拍摄的夫妇、儿童、狂欢节的表演者、裸体主义者、中产阶级家庭、异装癖者、路人、狂热者、怪人、名人等等，可以称作一部当代人类学了。

    1963年和1966年，她获得了约翰·西蒙·古根罕奖。1967年，纽约现代艺术博物馆举办了名为“新档案”的展览，她是那次展览的3个摄影家之一。在其有生之年，她的作品参加团体展览的只有为数不多的几次，但她的作品还是引起了广泛的批评并倍受公众关注。

    在去世之前，阿勃斯在摄影家中就有了相当的影响。她大胆的主题和拍摄手段不断的引起媒体的注意并因而确立了她在视觉艺术界显赫的地位。“戴安娜·阿勃斯：启示”首次展示了阿勃斯各方面成就，并展出了她的通讯簿、相机、信札、笔记以及包括其私人图书馆藏书的其他书面材料，这也有助于我们了解她的工作方法、目的和影响。

Marc Riboud (Hardcover)

简介

Hardcover:176 pages Publisher:Flammarion (May 28, 2004) Language:English ISBN-10:208030447X ISBN-13:978-2080304476 Product Dimensions:12.1 x 9.8 x 0.9 inches

Surprises of every kind lie in wait for the photographer - they open the eyes and quicken the heartbeat of those with a passion for looking.

Published to coincide with a major retrospective of Marc Riboud's work, this is the first work in English devoted to the entire career of this outstanding twentieth-century photojournalist. Riboud has created some of the iconic images of our time: workmen balanced like dancers on the powerful metal girders of the Eiffel Tower; a young Vietnam war protester facing down a rank of riflemen with a flower in her hand.

Riboud took his first photographs at the age of 14 with his father's Vest Pocket Kodak. Eager to investigate the complexities of contemporary reality, Riboud worked for the legendary Magnum agency, alongside Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Chim (David Seymour). Starting in 1955, he traveled all over the world, from Nepal to Alaska, Mexico to Algeria, his camera always at the ready. While many of his shots reveal the anguish of war, others capture the fleeting delights of a swim in a sun-dappled river or children learning to whistle in a Shanghai street. Here are Riboud's best images, presented by those who know him.

Friedlander (Hardcover)

简介

Hardcover:504 pages Publisher:The Museum of Modern Art, New York (June 15, 2005) Language:English ISBN-10:0870703439 ISBN-13:978-0870703430 Product Dimensions:13.2 x 12.2 x 1.6 inches

Lee Friedlander is one of the most important of the 1960s generation of photographers for whom the posture of disinterested objectivity served as a vehicle for passionate personal inquiries. His large body of work--he most often produces extended series of pictures on a chosen theme, then publishes them in book form--is broad in subject matter and supple and complex in style, and focuses on what he calls America's "social landscape." At the same time, he has pursued a playful dialogue with artistic tradition--as though open-eyed curiosity about the world, and a sophisticated taste for the wiles of picture-making were one and the same thing. Lee Friedlander takes a deep critical look at Friedlander's abundantly productive career. Including over 500 photographs grouped by series, and an incisive essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, this oversized publication is the most comprehensive review of the photographer's career to date.
