Singular Images
by Aperture (Paperback) (Release Date: 2006-02-01)
Spanning 170 years, from William Henry Fox Talbotís first negative to Jeff Wallís latest constructed tableau, Singular Images collects thought-provoking essays on individual photographs, one image per writer. The essayists consider, sometimes in highly personal ways, the artistís intention, their own response, the workís technical complexities, its historical context or its formal properties. Each text captures a sense of how challenging it is to create a perfect single piece. Art photography has been increasingly well-surveyed in recent years, but individual works have rarely been written about at length, perhaps because of lingering doubt that a single photograph can command the kind of sustained attention often given to individual paintings or sculptures. Singular Images is a lively inquiry into the value of analyzing individual photographs, and it persuasively encourages the reader to engage at length and in depth with one remarkable piece at a time. With its broad scope ...

Americans: The Social Landscape From 1940 until 2006
by Damiani (Hardcover) (Release Date: 2007-03-01)
A bakers' dozen of the best photographers of the past hundred years, from Helen Levitt and Gordon Parks to Nan Goldin and Ryan McGinley, are brought together here in a series of portfolios expanding on Robert Frank's Americans. Together they consider generations of social upheavals, crises, and shifts in U.S. society, responding to societal problems with attitudes from concerned to ecstatic. Helen Levitt's East Village and Bruce Davidson's are the same, and yet nothing alike, as are Richard Avedon's Texas and Rosalind Solomon's New Orleans, Diane Arbus's periphery and Lee Friedlander's loneliness at the center of the world, Peter Hujar's transsexuals and Larry Clark's boys. While the "concerned photography" of the mid-twentieth century can seem to demand the acceptance of the nonconformist behavior it tracks, and the recognition of social ills, the most recent contributions here avoid those moral undertones, documenting the hedonistic cult of youth, its promiscuity and ideology ...

Nan Goldin (2003)
by Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (Paperback)
This publication, produced in collaboration with the Collection Lambert in Avignon France, provides a rare perspective on the transformation of Goldin's œuvre with photographs produced from 1972 to today. Drawn essentially from the Collection Lambert, a unique collection built by art dealer Yvon Lambert, this publication testifies to a privileged relationship. Mézil describes the intense artist/dealer bond that produced Goldin's first show in Paris and encouraged her to undertake radically different work, including landscapes and still lifes, reproduced here. Éric Mézil is director of the Collection Lambert. Paulette Gagnon is senior curator at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.

Nan Goldin: The Other Side 1972-1992
by Scalo Publishers (Paperback)
Nan Goldin's seminal second book The Other Side is finally back in print. Ever since the early 1970's Goldin has lived with and among drag queens, documenting both their glamour and their struggles. The Other Side is her very personal declaration of love and gratitude to these drag queens, who showed her a way out of the captivity of pre-packaged, socially prescribed identity. As she put it: "The pictures in this book are not of people suffering gender dysphoria but rather expressing gender euphoria.... The people in these pictures are truly revolutionary; they are the real winners in the battle of the sexes because they have stepped out of the ring." In contrast to much of the early 90's drag queen mania, The Other Side has brilliantly passed the test of time: Goldin's photographs are as beautiful, moving, and vibrant as ever, heralding the utopian promises of a world where gender has stopped being a prison-a vision that remains as vital and acute as it was when the book was ...
