Hugh Holland: “That shot was one of several I did on the street, at Balboa Island, in the summer of 1975, just as I was beginning the Skate series. I was shooting some kids that were hot-dogging on the street on the sidelines of a small skate contest. I had no idea who they were. A few years later, someone saw them and asked if I knew who that kid was. I said no. He said it was Danny Kwock, who went on in the eighties to be a top surfer in the Newport area, and surfed for Quicksilver. Now he is the president of Quicksilver entertainment. He is a very cool guy.”

"The mother-and-son founders of powerhouse interior design firm Clements Design have mastered interiors of a spare yet sumptuous sophistication mixed with California ease that are highly sought after by a star-studded clientele, including Ellen DeGeneres, Adam Levine, Bruno Mars, Kendall Jenner, and Jennifer Lawrence.

In their first book, Clements Design showcases eight outstanding residences that embody the Clements style: understated elegance, sensuous austerity, Zen-like simplicity, easy glamour, and grand intimacy. Clements creates rarefied environments that are ultra-luxurious but never pretentious. Instead, their pared-down rooms are remarkably cozy and relaxed due to the blend of natural materials, muted colors, and matte surfaces and textures, especially from wood, stone, and nubby textiles—perfect for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of their clients. A Clements home is the perfect backdrop for jaw-dropping art collections that may include Picasso, Morandi, Warhol, and Twombly, and for entertaining in spacious, expansive rooms populated by Rick Owens daybeds, Prouvé chairs, Giacometti light fixtures, Asian sculptures, and Persian rugs in pale shades, all blended with exceptional antiques carefully placed about the spaces. Serenity reigns over all, filling the viewer with a peaceful calm that is priceless.

Personal accounts of working with Clements Design and living in their interiors from, among others, Ellen DeGeneres and Adam Levine, complement the glorious photography. Eight Houses: Clements Design offers a simple life set in an environment of exceeding high style and taste." 9780847870585 Inventory Number: SP21007

(GALINSKY, MICHAEL). Rumur, 2019. First Edition. Hardcover. New - Out of Print.

"In 1989, I was a sophomore at NYU when I took my first photo class, “Color Printing”. My teacher was awesome and our first assignment was to watch the film “River’s Edge“. At the time, I was dating a girl who went to Stony Brook and I’d take the Long Island Railroad out to see her every other weekend. One weekend, shortly after I had started the class and had to find a subject for my class project, I happened to go to the Smith Haven Mall with her and immediately knew I’d found a place to shoot. I was a Religious Studies major who took a lot of anthropology and sociology courses, which helped me to think of the the mall in complex ways. I was especially interested in considering the mall as something of a privatized public square. While I focused on the people, I thought about the way that they interacted with each other and the space. The teacher loved the work and encouraged me to continue it that summer. So my friend Sebastian and I packed ourselves in his Corolla station wagon and we hit the road without any real plan at all. Our first stop was Columbus Ohio. We stayed with my aunt but we didn’t find a mall. We then hightailed it to Detroit where we hit the jackpot with the Woodfield Mall. It’s a beauty and there are probably a dozen in the book from that one. Next stop was Chicago- then South Dakota, and on and on. All in all, we hit about 15 malls. We got some great images but it wasn’t really their time. By 1989, the “Pictures Generation” – with its focus on more constructed and deconstructed images – had pushed street photography out of the galleries. They were doubling down on big ideas and conceptual work. I went on to take a couple other photo classes, but turned my attention to making music and making films. I shot a lot of images, but my main outlets for them were fanzines and album covers. I moved on to making films. In 2010, I re-discovered these slides and the rest is history. 9780578572604 Inventory Number: SP19011

Rows of shrill slot machines, glowing billboards, and gaudy splendor appear alongside exhausted faces, tired looks, and lost games.

The series focuses more on the casino as a capitalist institution as a whole than on the individual gamblers. Michael Rababy is a Lebanese-American documentary photographer, who deals frequently with US American culture and society in his work. He works as a freelance photographer and has photographed for numerous media companies. "CASINOLAND – Tired of Winning" is his fourth book project". 978-3-96900-164-6 Inventory Number: RAB004

156pp, 64 color illustrations. Designed by Masumi Shibata. "Harkening back to his Golden Gate Bridge series - which the artist produced from his front porch over the course of four years beginning in 1997 - "Cargo" centers on the light, water, and weather of the San Francisco Bay. He began creating this body of work in 2021 amid the pandemic and its attendant lockdowns. Captured at different times of day from a single location in San Francisco, these photographs speak to his enduring interest in bearing witness to the world around him from a singular vantage point over the course of months or years. Misrach describes this series as a meditation on and celebration of the setting of the San Francisco Bay. With these works, he also contemplates the design, function, and history of the ships in the bay, and all of the thousands of workers implied in the images. “Behind these ships, there is a remarkable - if invisible - global workforce that builds them, and inhabits them, that packs and unloads them, that maneuvers them over oceans and canals, sometimes in dangerous situations, toward their eventual berths. Along with the extraordinary achievement and value these cargo ships symbolize, they also represent the complex, challenging side of our critical, intertwined, international commerce. In this historical moment, they allude to the threat that is global warming.” A brand new example of this stunning production additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "Richard Misrach" in black ink on the title page.

(ABULARACH, RODOLFO).Abularach, Rodolfo, Gavin Delahunty, Carlos Rodriguez Pellecer & Rudy F. Weissenberg. Los Angeles & New York: Marc Selwyn Fine Art & David Nolan Gallery, I00250618. 2025. First Edition 1/500 Copies. 11 1/4 x 9 1/4', 4to. Illustrated Boards. Artist Monograph. New/No Jacket - As Issued. 112pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "Born in Guatemala, Rodolfo Abularach (1933-2020) is one of Latin America’s most distinguished yet underrecognized masters. Throughout his over six-decade long career, Abularach created a fascinating and spiritual world filled with images of planetary forms, mandalas, and earthly and psychological portals. His most iconic and repeated subject was the eye, which he saw as a window into the soul. His interest in the mysteries of the earth led him to depict volcanoes, emblems of the artist's homeland and ancient history. Abularach mastered and explored a variety of styles, from hyperrealistic to abstract, monochrome to multicolored, esoteric to surreal. He was known for his virtuosity in multiple media, including painting, drawing, and printmaking. Abularach showed remarkable draftsmanship skills from a very young age and began his formal training at the age of 13 in Guatemala City. In 1958, he received a grant to continue his fine art studies in New York City. With a succession of additional prestigious grants, he remained based in New York for the next 40 years until 1998 when he fully resettled in Guatemala. In addition to being a visual artist, Abularach studied Mayan and Greek mythology, yoga, and meditation. His interest in the esoteric and the eye fed the same compulsion to transcend space and time by accessing something beyond his external reality. Like the eye, he saw the volcano as a transcendent portal and energy center.” A brand new example of this striking, beautifully illustrated hardbound catalogue – the first major work in English – on an artist whose artworld recognition and reappraisal is long overdue. 979-8-218-65068-1 Inventory Number: I00250618

(COPPOLA, SOFIA). Coppola, Sofia, Jeffrey Eugenides & Corinne Day. London, ENGLAND: Important Flowers / MACK, I00250604. 2025. First Edition. 10 x 8", Small 4to. Cloth with Pastedown. Cinema Monograph. New/No Jacket - As Issued. 88pp, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Anamaria Morris for Joseph Logan design. "For her first feature film, "The Virgin Suicides," Sofia Coppola commissioned British fashion photographer Corinne Day to join her on set. Renowned for her unadorned, grungy photographs of iconic models of the 1990s, Day’s representation of female beauty met its match in Coppola, whose debut marked the first of her unaffected, empathetic depictions of womanhood. Edited from Day’s original negatives, this volume, which launches alongside The Virgin Suicides' twenty-fifth anniversary, gives mesmerizing and unprecedented insight into Coppola’s enigmatic staging of the Lisbon sisters and their suburban trappings. In Day’s photographs, the lush mystique of Coppola’s set runs through images of the young actors at work and between takes, their candid posturing and pensive expressions reflecting the intimate and collaborative environment of the shoot. Fragments of the set and costume design appear suggestively – crucifixes, pink lace bras, homecoming dresses, beauty products, and toffee apples – all playing their part in Coppola’s depiction of the yearning and repression of adolescence. Completed with new texts by Sofia Coppola and Jeffrey Eugenides, this volume opens a fascinating dialogue between Eugenides’s original text and Coppola’s cult adaptation."

By Monica L. Miller with Andrew Bolton, William DeGregorio, and Amanda Garfinkel Photographs by Tyler Mitchell. Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2025. 9 1/2" x 12 1/4", 372 pages. Hardcover. Fashion.

Superfine: Tailoring Black Style traces the complex and vibrant legacy of menswear across three centuries of Black culture—from today’s hip-hop aesthetic and popular street trends, through its use during the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights movement as a symbol of creative and political agency, to its surprising origins as an imposed uniform for servants and enslaved people. Organized by key characteristics of dandyism that resonate across time, including presence, distinction, disguise, and respectability, this fresh interpretation of a centuries-old aesthetic draws on prominent Black voices in fashion, literature, and art—among them, Dandy Wellington, Amy Sherald, Iké Udé, and André 3000. Self-described dandies and high-fashion models feature in a stunning photo essay by artist Tyler Mitchell, who also contributes evocative new photography of garments by contemporary designers such as Virgil Abloh, Pharrell Williams, and Grace Wales Bonner. These works are shown alongside historical attire worn by Black luminaries including Frederick Douglass, Alexandre Dumas père, Muhammad Ali, and André Leon Talley. Scholar Monica L. Miller contextualizes these objects in her text and shows how the evolution of dandy style inspired new visions of Black masculinity that use the power of clothing and dress as a means of self-expression. 9781588397997

(SHIRE, PETER). Apartamento, 2025. 224 x 152mm, 420 Pages. Paperback. Design Monograph.

Peter Shire’s Grand Tour: A Snapshot of Design History, 1980–1989, edited by Christoph Radl, is a deeply personal photo diary chronicling the decade of Memphis—‘the last design revolution’, headed by maestro Ettore Sottsass, the leaning tower of Italian design. Peter didn’t know it at the time, but his snapshots of Italy in the ‘80s (with a sidequest to Vienna) were the serendipitous beginning, middle, and end of something big. Peter Shire’s Grand Tour pairs candid pictures with personal interludes to trace the heady, unpolished brilliance of a movement before it knew what it was. With the unwitting eye of a tourist-turned-historian, Peter’s camera captured it all—from Caravaggio at the Uffizi to storefronts of women’s lingerie shops and beautiful sunsets, alongside rogue selfies and a cast of Memphis Group legends including Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, and Matteo Thun.

Christoph Radl, art director and graphic designer, moved to Milan in the ‘70s, getting his golden chance to work at the studio Sottsass Associati in 1980. From there, he went on to become the graphic designer of Memphis and has been friends with Peter ever since. ‘I was there too, and I had no idea what was going on … It took me many years before I finally started to understand what I’d been a witness to. But I didn’t take pictures. Fortunately, Peter did’. 9788409704866

Leading design historians provide essays on diverse topics including the use of graphics, collaborative relationships with athletes and fashion designers, advanced R&D and more. In addition, the book features excerpted interviews with over 50 figures who have played a key role in Nike’s history, arranged in a readable conversational format.

Artist Monograph. New./No Jacket - As Issued. 60pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "Known primarily for his work as a filmmaker, multi-disciplinary artist Rocky Morton.makes a striking return to his roots in painting with a new book and exhibition entitled "While I'm Away". Drawing from his deep fascination with science and the essence of humanity, Morton’s latest works stand apart in their inspiration and innovative creation process. Morton uses a leaf blower to propel strings of paint mixed with a unique elastic ingredient across the canvas. This technique results in delicate, thread-like patterns reminiscent of mycelium, the fungal networks that connect all living plants and trees, bringing a touch of nature’s unpredictability into his art. Art critic and curator Peter Frank states in his introduction "Morton finds beauty in division – his colored paintings thrill with outpourings of intense hues, all assigned to their own regions yet struggling to oppose and at the same time embrace, even merge with, one another”. At the heart of "While I’m Awa" is the theme of universal connection. These paintings seek to transcend the familiar, venturing into uncharted territory, where the tangible world meets the infinite. Some pieces present literal interpretations, horizons where existence seems to emerge from nothingness, while others evoke the complex interconnectedness of the universe, akin to the synapses in the brain or fields of energy reminiscent of string theory. While I’m Away will be on display at Los Angeles' Shatto Gallery from November 2nd to December 7th 2024, offering art enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience these visionary works firsthand".

"Ballet" is renowned late graphic designer Alexey Brodovitch's iconic 1945 book of photographic vignettes capturing eleven performances by The Ballets Russes between 1935 and 1937. Noted for the innovative-at-the-time use of murky shadows and blurred dancers bathed in light, these arresting images of the likes of principals Leonide Massine, Tamara Toumanova, Irina Baronova, and more are accompanied by New York poet and dance critic Edwin Denby's brief but cogent text. On the eve of the eightieth anniversary of the publication of "Ballet", esteemed publisher Little Steidl’s reissue brings Brodovitch’s masterpiece back to life in all its material intensity with an experimental five-tone printing method developed specially for the project. The bespoke technique, which pushes the technical limits of offset-lithography to extremes, was developed and carried out by Nina Holland with the intention of reanimating not only the visual intensity of the 1945 edition, but also the risk and spontaneity of Brodovitch’s experiment. In a separate booklet accompanying the reissue, Holland and co-editor Joshua Chuang deliver a previously unknown story about the 1945 production – drawn from their forensic study of the original edition – that suggests Brodovitch’s artistic achievement should be viewed not just as one of the highlights, but as a singularly radical work in the history of the photographic book and printing. A brand new example of the meticulously recreated 2024 Little Steidl limited edition (whose 1945 first edition is cited on pages 240-241 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume I, pages 136-137 of The Hassleblad Center's "The Open Book: A History of the Photographic Book from 1878 to the Present", and pages 110-113 of "The Book of 101 Books") in the publisher's shipping carton.

FURTH, OLIVER. . Rizzoli, I00240901. 2024. 280 pages. Hardcover. Design Monograph. New. 9780847873609

AD100 and Elle Décor A-List Interior Designer Oliver Furth masterfully combines bi-partisan enthusiasm for classical and contemporary influences with California cool, to create sophisticated, livable spaces with relaxed rigor, infused with color and joy.

Known for his timeless approach to design, as well as his irreverent ability to blend different styles and eras seamlessly, Furth combines his expertise in historic decorative arts and contemporary collectible design to create encyclopedic interiors where aristo-irreverence meets West Coast optimism.

A fourth-generation Los Angeles native, Furth’s homes conjure something magical, with optimism for the power of design as a guide to life well-lived. His signature style—a mix of freewheeling creativity, scholarly historicism and unabashed joie de vivre—has been applied to an array of homes over the past fifteen years, resulting in interiors full of personality and calibrated elegance that are prized by celebrities, creatives, and collectors.

Furth grounds his interiors with a sense of place and people over trends, considering his collaborators’ individuality and the materials, objects, textures that tell their story. His sophisticated eye for color is the antidote to misconceptions of current mass beige-ness.

The first monograph from the internationally celebrated designer, OP! Optimistic Interiors shines a light on Furth’s ingenious approach, showcasing homes that strike a balance between modernity and tradition, aesthetics and functionality, all while leaving room for self-expression and that most important ingredient: joy.

JUDD, DONALD. Text by Michael Govan, Donald Judd, Flavin Judd, Jinsang Yoo.. Thaddaeus Ropac, 2024. 10.25 x 10.25 in. / 272 pgs . Hardcover. Art Monograph. New. 9791198372406

A special selection of Judd’s minimalist works curated by his son, Flavin Judd

This catalog follows the first solo exhibition of Donald Judd’s work in South Korea for nearly 10 years. Judd (1928–94) had a personal connection to Korea, having been stationed in Seoul in 1947. The Korean concept of pungsu, similar to the Chinese Feng shui, was instrumental to his visualization of space. Curated by Flavin Judd, the artist’s son and artistic director of the Judd Foundation, the exhibition presented more than three decades of the artist’s work, and features his experiments in Minimalism across multiple mediums. These works are documented in this publication, which has been conceived in close collaboration with Flavin Judd. The design is a reflection of Donald Judd’s aesthetic values. Its unique binding and layout, which investigate the relationship between presence and emptiness, speak to the rigorous attention to simplicity of form that characterizes the artist’s work.

New/No Jacket - As Issued.. 360pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English and French. "From its beginnings inspired by New Wave subculture to its position as an international fashion sensation, the Parachute brand from Montreal was recognized for its visionary, bold apparel and innovative concept stores. Avant-garde in attitude and design, Parachute brought together high and low, the establishment and the underground. The clothing was defined by androgynous looks, oversized silhouettes, elevated essentials, and graphic references to past and future, from exaggerated trench coats to “space samurai kimonos.” Together with a considered retail presence, which combined an industrial aesthetic in the stores with exuberant photography campaigns, the brand created a vision for street fashion that is keenly relevant today. Walker explores the history of the brand through hundreds of images, many never published, including personal photography from the founders of the label alongside striking editorial and campaign imagery. A go-to label for stars like Madonna, Peter Gabriel, and David Bowie, Parachute both encapsulated the exuberance of the 1980s and signaled the future in clothing and retail. Uniquely designed with ephemera layered over photographs as if in the founders’ own scrapbooks, this is a definitive insight into a highly influential cult 1980s brand, and a key reference for fashion historians and designers alike."

New/No Jacket - As Issued. 286pp, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Ella Gold and Jesse Pollock. "Legendary skateboarder and artist Jerry Hsu started his blog "Nazi Gold" in 2009 as a repository for the cell phone photos he’d been collecting alongside his more traditional photography and film practices: shots of friends and strangers, roadside curiosities, and anything else that seemed to merit instant sharing with both peers and the public. In the ensuing years, the site grew from an exercise in visual note-taking into a uniquely hysterical embodiment of both Hsu’s keen artistic sense and his razor-sharp wit. Documenting his journeys through the high and low trappings of our culture, Hsu’s work captures everything from bootleg t-shirts and bathroom stall graffiti to unexpected truths and the occasional startling moment of humanity. An unerringly creative and endlessly clever chronicle of the deep ironies of our modern world, "The Beautiful Flower Is the World" collects the best of Hsu’s blog photography into a compelling and immersive whole."

(CHAPLIN, CHARLES) (ADDAMS, DAWN). Addams, Dawn & John Francis Lane. Introduction and Afterword by James Pepper. Santa Barbara, NM: Santa Teresa Press / James Pepper Rare Books, I00240428, 2024. First Edition 1/500 Copies. 6 x 4", 12mo. Pictorial Wrappers. Cinema Monograph. New. 64pp, 6 b&w illustration + covers. Charles Chaplin was shamefully exiled from America in 1952 during the time of McCarthyism and fear of communism. In 1956, Chaplin wrote and directed in England the comedy "A King In New York" that satirized America in the atomic age and blacklisting. He cast English actress Dawn Addams as his co-star. Just before the film's release in 1957, film writer John Francis Lane sat down with Addams and conducted a very illuminating interview on what it was like to work with Chaplin. This volume reveals new information on the film including previously unpublished notes by Charles Chaplin written during the picture's production giving his thoughts and definitions of comedy and tragedy, as well as an introduction and afterword by the book's publisher, film historian and noted Antiquarian bookseller James Pepper. A brand new example of this privately produced tiny gem limited to five hundred copies. Inventory Number: I00240428

(STEINMETZ, MARK). Steinmetz, Mark & Gregory J. Harris. Paso Robles, CA: Nazraeli Press, I00240427. 2024. First Edition 1/1000 Copies. 12 x 10 1/4", Quarto. Cloth with Pictorial Pastedown. Photography Monograph. New/No Jacket - As Issued. 80pp, 63 duotone illustrations + front cover. "American photographer Mark Steinmetz photographed the people and environs of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport between 2012 and 2019 as part of the High Museum of Art’s "Picturing the South" series, a photographic archive that examines a range of themes specific to the American South. The sixty-four duotone images in "ATL" - the fifteenth volume of Steinmetz’s work published by Nazraeli Press - emphasize “the quiet transitional moments in this liminal world,” writes curator Gregory J. Harris in the volume’s introduction. Steinmetz captures “the more introspective moments” of travel in and out of the world’s most heavily trafficked airport and includes travelers of all ages “leaving one chapter of their lives and going to another,” as the artist stated in a 2019 interview at the museum. Airline pilots, ground personnel, flight attendants, and janitors are also pictured, always working, often waiting; they share a space with the travelers but remain apart. Steinmetz also turns his focus to the open spaces around the airport, presenting vast, overgrown, and often unpeopled areas that provide a sharp contrast to the busy workings of the airport and its constantly changing population. A selection of images taken from aircraft windows depict the graphic beauty of clouds, light streaks, and jet trails, echoing the “sense of levity and mystery” felt by those traveling, as well as those viewing the photographs. Though taken over a period of years, this collection of images evokes the distinct timelessness of air travel, “capturing ordinary yet captivating human dramas that play out in the public spaces across the airport.” A brand new, most handsome example of this thought-provoking Nazraeli Press offering limited to one thousand copies still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 978-1-59005-567-0 Inventory Number: I00240427
