Fair./No Jacket - As Issued. np, profusely illustrated in b&w gravure. Designed by Marvin Israel. Text in English. "Nothing Personal" is Richard Avedon's strikingly beautiful 1964 collaboration with noted literary lion James Baldwin. The photographer's second book, its images primarily hail from "Harper's Bazaar" and other magazine editorial work from the fifties and sixties. With figures from politics, society, fashion, literature, and the arts, it is a veritable who's who of power of the mid-Twentieth Century containing many of Avedon's most famous portraits including Dwight David Eisenhower in close up, the fragile Marilyn Monroe, a smug George Wallace, the pregnant Ted Kennedys in the surf, and many, many more. These are beautifully reproduced in stark black and white gravure, with Marvin Israel's book design here every bit the equal of the legendary Alexey Brodovitch's contribution for Avedon's first work, "Observations".

Bucher first Swiss edition with an English language text lacking the publisher's slipcase additionally bearing the BOLDLY SIGNED PRESENTATION "For Dear ... with gratitude ever, Dick Avedon -" in black fountain pen on the verso of the front pastedown showing some mild brown staining to a few pages along the foredge of the textblock.

Near Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 56pp, 40 quadratone illustrations. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. 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.

They provide a remarkable portrait of the working methods of one of the most influential fashion photographers in history.

Produced in a very small print run, this sold out only a few months following its publication, and has become highly sought after.

Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np (616pp), profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, German and French. Art Direction and Design by Ruth Ansel. One of the most lavish books published to date on the work of a single photographer, Benedikt Taschen's sumptuous 2006 monograph on Peter Beard rivals Helmut Newton's "Sumo" in both scale and grandeur. "Photographer, collector, diarist, and writer of books Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world. He was painted by Francis Bacon, painted on by Salvador Dali, and made diaries with Andy Warhol; he toured with Truman Capote and the Rolling Stones, created books with Jacqueline Onassis and Mick Jagger - all of whom are brought to life, literally and figuratively, in his work. As a fashion photographer, he took Vogue stars like Veruschka to Africa and brought new ones - most notably Iman - back to the U.S. with him. Spilling out over the pages of this massive tome, Peter Beard's collages are reproduced as a group for the first time at the size they have always meant to be seen, some as foldouts. Hundreds of smaller-scale works and diaries fill the remaining spreads - magnified to show every detail, from Beard's meticulous handwriting and old-master-inspired drawings to stones and bones and bits of animals pasted to the page. All color illustrations are color-separated and reproduced in Pan4C, the finest reproduction technique available today, which provides unequalled intensity and color range". This elephant folio sized book is bound in full leather-over-boards, housed in a velvet-lined shipping crate, and is accompanied by a wooden viewing stand that is reminiscent of an African headrest. Its companion volume: "PB2" contains an image index with captions for all the pictures reproduced in the main book, personal photos and early work of the artist, an interview with the artist by Steven M. L. Aronson, a facsimile reprint of Beard's 1993 handwritten essay from the sold-out first issue of "Blind Spot" magazine, an extensive bibliography, and an exhibition history.

"Australian artist Leigh Bowery was one of the most colourful border crossers of the London club, fashion, and art scene of the 1980s and 1990s. Bowery made his sexuality a means of aesthetic expression, and consciously used his own body in his excessive abundance as an artistic media. His costumes, masquerades, and travesties investigate the concepts of fashion and the body at the boundaries to the most diverse social fields. Bowery employs his own physical bulkiness as the starting point of an extroverted body cult in which the concepts of ugliness and beauty, social standardisation and border crossings intersect". Published in conjunction with a posthumous 2008 Kunstverein Hannover retrospective exhibition, this beautifully designed catalogue copiously documents Bowery's own outrageous looks, costumes, and performances as well as his collaborations with Lucian Freud, Cerith Wyn Evans, Charles Atlas, Fergus Greer, Johnny Rozsa, and more.

(DIVINE, JEFF). Divine, Jeff. Introduction by Scott Hulet. Santa Barbara, CA: T. Adler Books, 2011. First Edition. Oblong 4to. Pictorial Boards in Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 96pp, 94 color illustrations. Designed by Tom Adler. "On the heels of 2006's hugely popular "Surfing Photographs from the Seventies", T. Adler Books now releases the companion volume, "Surfing Photographs from the Eighties Taken by Jeff Divine". The 1980s were a tumultuous period in surf history, as the "everything's groovy" communalism of the previous decade was blown apart into splinter groups. Professionals, rebels, punks, and world travelers all banged the drum for their personal vision of surfing. The result was loud, vivid, and drenched in fluorescence and neon. Photographer Jeff Divine was on the case, documenting the changes from surfing's twin power poles: Southern California and the north shore of Oahu. Divine's access to these scenes, earned from fifteen years on the sand and in the water, infuse this volume with authenticity as an insider look into the period's most definitive moments". A brand new, pristine example of the 2011 first edition additionally BOLDLY INSCRIBED "FLURO / SURF / 80's Jeff Divine" in black marker across from the front colophon in the publisher's unprinted frosted plastic jacket.

"As a teenager taking pictures of fellow surfers in 1960s La Jolla, Jeff Divine got to know the original alternative sport before the X-Games were even a gleam in a producer's eye. Through this rare collection of photographs from the momentous decade that followed, he conveys the feeling of being on the beach in its most creative era, being present at the inception of a subculture too large and photogenic to stay down long. The style, the athleticism and the escapism in these images will be familiar to those with even a lazy eye on pop culture: surfing is on the rise again".
