(AVEDON, RICHARD). Thurman, Judith.. RICHARD AVEDON: MADE IN FRANCE. San Francisco: Fraenkel Gallery , 2001. First Edition. Folio. Pictorial Boards. Photography Monograph. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 56pp, 40 quadratone illustrations. This strikingly beautiful monograph stands as an important rediscovery of a small but elegant body of work in the career of one of the world's best-known photographers. The Richard Avedon images presented here, many for the first time, were made in Paris for "Harper's Bazaar" during the 1950s. What is particularly notable about this presentation is that the images have been reproduced to the exact scale of the engraver's prints made for Avedon by the master printer Andre Gremola, and are uncropped, on their original mounts (with all of the artist's notations on both front and back). They provide a remarkable portrait of the working methods of one of the most influential fashion photographers in history. This oversized book, measuring 12 x 15 inches, has been printed without compromise using quadratone plates throughout. Produced in a very small print run, this sold out only a few months following its publication, and has become highly sought after. A most handsome copy. 1-881337-12-X Inventory Number: 013461

First Edition. Square 4to. Illustrated Boards in Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 180pp, profusely illustrated in b&w and duotone. Designed by Tom Adler. "Ron Church brought a trained photographer's eye to the sport of surfing, which in itself was unusual. With his background in sport diving and underwater research photography combined with his La Jolla, California roots, he turned his attention to surfing just as the sport was beginning to morph from a sleepy but evocative pastime into a commercialized lifestyle. From 1960 through 1965 he captured its last moments of innocence, first in California, moving to Oahu's big-wave fields, and then back to California. Graphic designer/publisher Tom Adler has been producing an acclaimed series of art books featuring surf photography utilizing his own unique design sense to select offbeat images that seem to make magic by the time he arranges them on the pages".

(FAFI). Fafi & Michel Mathe. FAFI: GIRLS ROCK. Paris: Le Club, 2002. First Edition. 8vo. Illustrated Self-Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Fine. np (64pp), profusely illustrated in color. Text in English and French. "Born and raised in Toulouse France, Fafi's strong presence in the graffiti and fine arts scene was first witnessed on her hometown walls in 1994. Back then, as she was painting and hustling, her sexy, funny, and sometimes aggressive girl characters made the whole world look and helped kick-start a whole new graphic language. By exploring femininity through stereotypes, and using it to her advantage, she drew enormous attention and thus started to travel the world with thousands of Fafinettes in her brushes and paint cans". What more can we add to Fafi's own description of her emergence as a worldwide art, fashion and marketing phenomenon? This is her ultra-scarce first book from 2002, chock-full of lovely color reproductions of her graffiti, sketches, prints, and clothing. A most handsome copy. 2-9518849-1-5 Inventory Number: 014224

"In 1968, FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover vilified the Black Panthers as "the greatest threat to the internal security of the United States." That same year photographers Pirkle Jones and wife, Ruth-Marion Baruch, documented the Black Panthers for an exhibition at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. Their hope was to expose the public to the Panthers as they saw them - symbols of pride and strength - rather than the way they were being portrayed in the media. Jones and Baruch were given unprecedented access to the inner circle of the Black Panther Party. At intimate meetings, family gatherings and public demonstrations, we witness, through these incredibly moving photographs, a unique crusade for dignity and self-definition. Black Panthers is a historic documentation of this fascinating movement, so challenging and controversial to our culture that it was virtually erased from established texts and American history books." "We photographed the Black Panthers intensively from July into October of 1968, during the peak of a historic period and in the Bay Area, where the Black Panther National Headquarters is located. We couldn't possibly photograph all the aspects of this virile, rapid growing and deep rooted movement, but we can show you: This is what we saw, this is what we felt, these are the people - Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch".

As New/As New. 272pp, profusely illustrated in duotone. "Irving Penn is renowned for his innovative contributions to portrait, still life, and fashion photography, and a career that has spanned more than six decades at Vogue magazine. In 1950, Vogue assigned Penn to photograph workers in Paris, and thus his monumental work "The Small Trades" began. Created in Paris, London, and New York, it consists of portraits of skilled laborers dressed in their work clothes and carrying the tools of their respective trades. Capturing the humble coal heaver and the crisply dressed waiter with equal directness, Penn's arresting portraits also underscore fascinating cultural differences. "The Small Trades" was the photographer's most extensive body of work, and he returned to it over many decades, producing ever more exacting prints. Two hundred and six unique images from the series are flawlessly reproduced in this book. In addition, the introductory essay describes the history and context of The Small Trades series and its importance to Penn's career and the history of photography. An interview with Edmonde Charles-Roux, the chief editor for French Vogue from 1952 to 1966, who assisted him on the assignment in Paris, provides fascinating insights of the Paris sittings. An exhibition of the series will be on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from September 9, 2009, through January 10, 2010".

A most handsome copy (cited on page 48 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II" and pages 372-373 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book") whose dustjacket shows some minor rubbing, crimping and closed tears at the extremities.

Wielding his camera, patiently pacing back and forth, (he) pursued his prey, coaxing all thirteen figures to reveal their true spirit, capturing them for a moment in time, timeless, moving into the realms of eternity". Pictured here, artfully nude, are athletes Boris Becker, Amy Van Dyken, Jacqui Agyepong, Jean Galfione, Marie-Jose Perec, Kazuyoshi "Kazu" Miura, Colin Jackson, Dan O'Brien, Vitaly Scherbo, Anita Weyermann, David Coulthard, Antionio Rossi, and Carlos Moya.

(ROVERSI, PAOLO). Roversi, Paolo. PAOLO ROVERSI: STUDIO. Signed and Numbered by the Photographer. Gottingen, GERMANY & New York: Steidl/Dangin Publishers, 2004. First Edition 1/1000. 4to. Cloth. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np, 60 color gatefold illustrations. Texts in English. "Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal fashion images and portraits: photographs that quiver on the edge of their own seemingly fragile existence. A typical Roversi picture appears as if captured in the process of becoming - it develops on the page before our very eyes or, depending on perspective, it might simply vanish into the ether. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily with 8 x 10 inch Polaroids, and rarely on location. Designed as a series of sixty gatefolds, at first glance the book appears to be a collection of empty pages. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaf from a Polaroid - out of the blackness an image is revealed as if by magic. In images that represent nearly two decades of work, "Studio" offers a self-portrait of the artist and a window into the place where he creates his art. These photographs are a mix of both the published and the highly personal, but all have the intimacy engendered by that place where Roversi feels most at home". Limited to one thousand numbered copies only, "Studio" is truly one of the most opulent photographic books of the last decade. A pristine copy of the 2004 first Steidl edition of this uncommon gem in the publisher's shipping carton, as issued.

As New./As New.. 306pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "As one of the 21st Century's most traveled, acclaimed, and influential fashion photographers, Mario Testino has unsurpassed access to the most magnetic stars of popular culture. For some time now he has been collecting a personal archive of off-screen moments, often snatched spontaneously before, during, and after more official sittings for "Vanity Fair", "Vogue", and Testino's many clients in the world of fashion. The result is a portrait not just of a generation of the most wanted and talked-about, but an invitation to be part of the backstage parties and unstaged moments of Testino's life. Sometimes offbeat, but always on the pulse, "Let Me In!", with Testino's eye for a modern kind of elegance liberated from conventional polish, is a new chapter from the photographer who has already made his mark with the books "Any Objections", "Front Row Backstage", "Alive", "Portraits", "Kids", "Diana Princess of Wales", and numerous exhibitions and publications worldwide". Limited to one thousand copies only, this massive tome is one of the most lavish glances behind the veil of celebrity yet published.

Fine./No Jacket - As Issued. np, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Art Direction by Greg Foley. "Visionaire number 28 presents ''The greatest story ever told'' retold in images by modern-day artists and photographers. The intent was to make an issue that was visually provocative but not blasphemous or gratuitously shocking. We worked closely with Dr. Royal Rhodes, professor of religion at Kenyon College, who helped us excerpt passages from the King James Bible. Mario Testino photographed Adam and Eve (dressed in Martine Sitbon and poised to prune with Hermes hedge clippers); Wolfgang Tillmans contributed the Crucifixion; Andreas Gursky's image of a rave became the Exodus; Mary Ellen Mark envisioned a modern day Mary and Joseph; and Steven Meisel imagined the Apocalypse in a series of eerily foreboding fashion images inspired by the painter Odd Nerdrum". Other contributors to this luxe, full-edge gilt issue include Frank Gehry with Todd Eberle, Gregory Crewdson, Christopher Bucklow, Jack Flanagan, Nan Goldin, Mats Gustavson, Sam Taylor-Wood, Andres Serrano, and many more. A most handsome individually numbered example with the Philippe Starck conceived white plastic case still sealed in the publisher's cardboard shipping carton. Though this has never been opened, all copies of "The Bible" show some indentations to the textblock and scratches the gilt edges due to the case's (faulty) design, and we are sure this one is no different.
