The Orchid House Art Smuggling and Appointments in India and Afghanistan
Clark Worswick( 1940-) was born in Berkeley, California. After attending the progressive Verde Valley School in Arizona (1954-1958) he enrolled in Visva Bharati University, at Santinikitan in West Bengal (India). Thereafter, he travelled extensively between India and Europe taking photographs, and collecting Indian antiquities in the first wave of young westerners to pass though the Iranian, and Afghan deserts on their way to India. His book The Orchid House Art Smuggling and Appointments in India and Afghanistan recount these seldom described travels. He began collecting 19th century Asian photographs in Calcutta during 1959. He was the First Research Fellow in Film and photography at Harvard University. His books on Indian, Chinese and Japanese 19th century photography were the first works to identify scores of non-European artists working in the medium. His books have been named "Best of the Year" by The NY Times, The London Times, The Washington Post, The Sunday Times, Newsweek and Time Magazine.

Paris Changing
Between 1888 and 1927 Eugne Atget meticulously photographed Paris and its environs, capturing in thousands of photographs the city's parks, streets, and buildings as well as its diverse inhabitants. His images preserved the vanishing architecture of the ancien rgime as Paris grew into a modern capital and established Atget as one of the twentieth century's greatest and most revered photographers. Christopher Rauschenberg spent a year in the late '90s revisiting and rephotographing many of Atget's same locations. Paris Changing features seventy-four pairs of images beautifully reproduced in duotone. By meticulously replicating the emotional as well as aesthetic qualities of Atget's images, Ra...
Genealogies of Orientalism
Orientalism, as explored by Edward Said in 1978, was a far more complex phenomenon than many suspected, being homogenous along the lines of neither culture nor time. Instead, it is deeply embedded in the collective reimaginings that were?and are?nationalism. The dozen essays in Genealogies of Orientalism argue that the critique of orientalism, far from being exhausted, must develop further. To do so, however, a historical turn must be made, and the ways in which modernity itself is theorized and historicized must be rethought. ø According to Joan W. Scott, author of The Politics of the Veil, the essays in this collection ?develop a remarkable perspective on Edward Said?s Orientalism, placin...
