Wrappers in Pictorial Slipcase. Photography Monograph. As New.. np (192pp), profusely illustrated in duotone and color. Art Director - Nathaniel Kilcer. "The latest volume in Bruce Weber's ongoing literary and art journal series celebrates individuals whose risk-taking and personal vision set them apart from the crowd. There's a common enthusiasm running through this volume, a sense that this cast of characters - be they subjects of the book or contributors to it - was born ready to stand up, face the odds, and declare themselves unabashedly to the world. The book opens with a poem about Basketball by Sherman Alexie. A new commission by Sean Thomas finds him back in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, documenting the teen rites of passage that pile up at the end of high school: senior prom, first romances, lazy summer jobs. Then Bruce Weber's first story in the book is a profile of Father Gregory Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries - the pioneering Los Angeles-based gang intervention and rehabilitation program. From there All-American travels to Harlem with Lisa Eisner, whose commissioned story about Amateur Night at the Apollo becomes a love poem to the vibrant neighborhood. Weber's second contribution is a profile of the charming and eccentric Mickey Wolfson, whose extraordinary collection of furniture, paintings, books, prints, and decorative objects became the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami, Florida. A portfolio of paintings by the Palm Beach society fixture Ralph Wolfe Cowan presents everyone from Doris Duke to Johnny Mathis to Princess Grace in the most ethereal and unexpected light. All-American then traces one woman's personal struggle for justice through exclusive images from the personal archive of Edith Windsor, whose Supreme Court case resulted in the overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) earlier this year. This story also features portraits by Bruce Weber and photographs by Poppy De Villeneuve. All-American Volume Thirteen closes with an in-depth look at the world of professional motocross racing. Bruce Weber traveled this summer to Southwick, Massachusetts together with photographers John Scott and Michael John Murphy to capture stars like Ryan Dungey and James Stewart racing against a host of up-and-comers". As with all of the "All-American"s, the quality of the design, paper and printing is impeccable. Not unlike the previous books, there will be only one printing of this title.

(WEEGEE). Fellig, Arthur, aka Weegee. Los Angeles. (circa 1950).: Weegee. First Edition. Oblong Folio. Silver Gelatin Photograph. Fine.. One 8 x 10" silver gelatin print printed recto only, mounted with archival photo corners in a heavy white 14 x 15 ½" beveled mat. This is a photographic portrait by Weegee "The Great" of noted Hollywood columnist, screenwriter and novelist Jimmy Starr. Starr is pictured on set laughing and enjoying the company of three actresses decked out in howlingly inauthentic outfits comprised of skull caps with wild hair, seashell necklaces, bangles, and sarongs in a culturally misguided attempt at Oceanic exoticism. Images of the actors without Starr photographed at the same sitting appear in both "Weegee's Naked Hollywood (1953)" and "Naked Hollywood: Weegee in Los Angeles (2011)". Beginning as an office boy at Metro Studios in 1919, Starr graduated to writing intertitles, dialogue, and screenplays for dozens of films in the 1920s and 1930s. His 1944 novel "The Corpse Came C.O.D." became the basis for a 1947 Columbia Pictures feature starring Joan Blondell and George Brent. Starr left studio work to write regular columns for "The Los Angeles Herald-Express", "New York Daily Mirror", and "Sunday Daily Mirror" before leaving town entirely for a successful career in Arizona with Ramada Inns. Weegee, following the success of Jules Dassin's 1948 feature "Naked City" - based on his pioneering 1945 photobook of the same title - moved to Los Angeles with the expectation of trading the late-night Manhattan crime and street photography he'd grown weary of for more lucrative process photography and cinematography jobs with the Hollywood studios. While there was some behind the scenes work along with few bit parts to be had, Weegee was primarily reliant on making distorted trick portraits of the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield to sell to magazines to make ends meet. In late 1951, newly-divorced he returned to New York where he remained active until his passing in 1968. A bright, fine condition vintage silver gelatin print on single weight glossy paper bearing the stamps "Arthur (Weegee) Fellig / 6606 St. Frances Terrace / Hollywood 28, Calif." in red and "FROM THE / JIMMY STARR COLLECTION" in purple ink on the verso. This was most likely a gift from Weegee to Starr, and as there was very little chance of selling this shot from the series for publication, there cannot be many - if any - other prints of this particular image in circulation.

(WEEGEE). Fellig, Arthur, aka Weegee. New York: Ziff-Davis Publishing Company, 1961. Second Printing. 8vo. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Near Fine/Very Good. 160pp, 106 b&w illustrations. Did the twentieth century ever bring notoriety to a photographer more steeped in hype and myth than Arthur Fellig - aka "Weegee The Famous"? And while much if not most of that hype and myth was perpetuated by Weegee himself, the ingenuity of his exploits stalking the mean streets of crime-riddled, forties-era New York cannot be denied. Working mostly at night out of his improvised trunk-converted-into-a-darkroom, Weegee parlayed his police radio, trusty Speed Graphic camera, and an uncanny knack for getting to a crime scene quickly into journalistic infamy. His first book, "Naked City" became a bestseller as well as the basis for both Jules Dassin's film and the television series of the same name. He later tried his luck in Hollywood, then plumbed the depths of female figure photography, exploitation filmmaking, and photographic special effects. In this, his 1961 autobiography, Weegee equally illuminates and propagates his mythic stature with no apparent lack of self-confidence. An internally most handsome example of the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company first edition additionally bearing the BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED PRESENTATION "To Warren Bush / Weegee / 1964 ------" in green ink on the front pastedown whose graphically striking dust jacket designed by Mort Perry shows just a bit of rubbing and a single short closed tear.

(WILLOUGHBY, BOB) (HEPBURN, AUDREY). Willoughby, Bob. Koln, GERMANY: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 2010. First Edition 0313/1000. Folio. Boards in a Clamshell Box. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 282pp, profusely illustrated in black & white. Text in English, German and French. "In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer, Bob Willoughby took iconic photos of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda, but remains unequivocal about his favorite subject: Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot the new starlet one morning shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953. It was a humdrum commission for the portraitist often credited with having perfected the photojournalistic movie still, but when he met the Belgian-born beauty, Willoughby was enraptured. "She took my hand like...well a princess, and dazzled me with that smile that God designed to melt mortal men's hearts," he recalls. As Hepburn's career soared following her Oscar-winning US debut in "Roman Holiday", Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender photographs seek out the many facets of Hepburn's beauty and elegance, as she progresses from her debut to her career high of "My Fair Lady" in 1963. Willoughby's studies, showing her on set, preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors, and returning to her private life, comprise one of photography's great platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of the 20th century's touchstone beauties". A pristine example of this extraordinary volume - a must-have for the Audrey completeist that sold out upon publication - limited to one thousand copies in a decorative clamshell box SIGNED AND NUMBERED (0313/1000) by the late Bob Willoughby, unopened in the publisher's shrinkwrapped printed shipping carton, as issued. 3-8365-1889-9 Inventory Number: 023815

Grace, Arthur. Counterpoint , 2016. ON SALE: August 9, 2016

"I had always thought that when I was around 84 and Robin was 80 we could collaborate on a book about the golden years of his career where he could look at my photographs and reminisce about the events and his feelings at the time. Unfortunately, that book was never to be . . . ."

Photographer Arthur Grace first met Robin Williams in April 1986, at a comedy club in Pittsburgh where Williams was working to polish what would eventually become his award-winning special “Evening at the Met”. The two hit it off immediately, and thus blossomed a close friendship that carried them through their increasingly successful careers. Told through a series of stunning photographs of Williams taken by Grace over the course of this decades-long partnership, Robin Williams: A Singular Portrait offers a touching and up-close look at the real Robin Williams—the manic and happy, the pensive and weary, the engaged and disengaged, a true portrait of one of America’s greatest comics and most beloved actors.

For the millions of people around the globe that Robin Williams has touched, these images, more than 150 photographs, a glorious mixture of stunning color and resonating black and white presented in exhibit format, will be something to embrace and cherish, not simply because of their exclusivity, but because of their intimacy and their honesty.

Arthur Grace began his professional career in 1973 as a staff photographer for United Press International. During his award-winning thirty-year career, his photos have been featured on the cover of Life, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, are in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the J. Paul Getty Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and the High Museum of Art. He has published four critically-acclaimed photographic books: Choose Me: Portraits of a Presidential Race, Comedians, State Fair, and America 101. 978-1619027275 Inventory Number: E0000AGRW
