Emmet Gowin
Throughout his prolific career as a photographer, Emmet Gowin has threaded together seemingly disparate subjects - his wife, Edith, and their extended family; American and European landscapes; aerial views of environmental devastation - that reflect his ongoing interest in issues of scale, the impact of the individual, and notions of belonging. This long-awaited survey, Emmet Gowin pays tribute to Gowin's remarkable career and his impact on the medium. Following his marriage to Edith Morris in 1964, Gowin began work on a series of images of his extended family. His focus broadened in the 1980s, when he began an exploration of landscape and aerial photography. He has since photographed in the Czech Republic, Italy, Mexico, Japan, and the United States.--
Lee Friedlander
A comprehensive retrospective of American photographer Lee Friedlander featuring previously unseen photographs from the artist's personal archive.
Nicholas Nixon
Der amerikanische Fotograf Nicholas Nixon ist für seine großformatigen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien bekannt, in denen er eine besondere Verbindung zu den Betrachtenden herstellt und sie an intimen Momenten im Leben teilhaben lässt. Für seine wohl ikonischste Serie, The Brown Sisters, begleitete er vier Schwestern über 46 Jahre hinweg. Seine Praxis umfasst jedoch ein viel breiteres Spektrum, etwa das einfache Leben im Süden der USA oder Landschaftsporträts der rohen industriellen Gegenden rund um Detroit. Ausgehend vom Aspekt der Intimität gibt die Monografie einen erstmaligen Überblick über Nixons Œuvre. Sie ist eine Reise durch das Leben und Werk des Künstlers – einerseits aus der Ferne, andererseits intim und nah – und zeigt auch neue, bislang unveröffentlichte Fotografien.
Lee Friedlander
In 1970, Lee Friedlander published a slim volume of photographs entitled simply Self Portrait. In the decades since its original release, the book has become, in the words of critic A.D. Coleman, "a cornerstone in the tradition of photographic self-portraiture". In the 1990s, Friedlander returned to the project of self-portraiture. "I started again after I did a couple and realized that I'd metamorphosed into something else", he has said. "l wasn't the same person any more, and I wanted to document that". As one critic, Glen Helfand, noted in reviewing an exhibition of these prints, "he looks more weathered and aged in these pictures as he wistfully rests his head near the travel clock on a hotel room night stand, reclines in bushes or leans against cacti". Especially when seen in contrast to the earlier work, these images offer us a reflection on maturity, on a self become less mutable and now with age more stubbornly real and individual, the self that is Lee Friedlander.

Josef Koudelka
A retrospective catalog featuring vintage prints as well as recent, unpublished work by an internationally acclaimed photographer This retrospective catalog features vintage prints as well as recent, unpublished work by internationally acclaimed photographer Josef Koudelka (b. 1938). A leading member of the photo agency Magnum, co-founded by his close friend Henri Cartier-Bresson, Koudelka has been a legend since the publication of his unforgettable eyewitness photographs taken during the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet-led troops in 1968. In addition to Invasion and Exiles, Koudelka's most ambitious project, Gypsies, is featured with the complete set of twenty-two prints first exhibited in 1967. Koudelka's impressive imagery is accompanied here by five essays that provide a thorough understanding of and appreciation for this outstanding artist, willfully independent and reclusive despite his renown.
When I Was a Photographer
The first complete English translation of Nadar's intelligent and witty memoir, a series of vignettes that capture his experiences in the early days of photography. Celebrated nineteenth-century photographer—and writer, actor, caricaturist, inventor, and balloonist—Félix Nadar published this memoir of his photographic life in 1900 at the age of eighty. Composed as a series of vignettes (we might view them as a series of “written photographs”), this intelligent and witty book offers stories of Nadar's experiences in the early years of photography, memorable character sketches, and meditations on history. It is a classic work, cited by writers from Walter Benjamin to Rosalind Krauss. ...
