Contemporary Photography from Eastern Europe
Surveying 29 artists from 18 countries across Eastern Europe A wide-ranging and detailed survey dedicated to the protagonists of the contemporary art scene in Eastern Europe. As the title suggests, history, memory and identity are the principle "open questions" for many countries in Eastern Europe that have over the past twenty years seen their course in history change radically in the wake of the fall of the Berlin wall on November 9th, 1989. The catalogue includes twenty-nine artists from eighteen countries, including the Russian Federation, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia and Croatia, many of which are presented here for the first time in a survey comprising more than 150 photographs, films and video-installations. History Memory Identity marks a continuation of Asian Dub Photography (Skira, 2009) dedicated to Far Eastern art.
Mimmo Jodice
Through the evocative images of one of the most illustrious Italian masters of photography, a journey back in time to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. This new monographic work on Mimmo Jodice (Naples, 1934) presents the large-scale survey of the Mediterranean, with which the artist has been enchanting viewers throughout the world for over thirty years. A sequence of fifty photographic works, some never previously published, reconstructs the image of the civilizations that marked the ancient history of the sea the Romans called mare nostrum. Temples and statues, heroes and myths live again in a timeless dimension where past and present coexist.
Contemporary Photography from India and South America
A compelling collection of images providing a clear interpretation of contemporary reality of India and South America. The fourth publication in the Skira Contemporary Photography series presents the works of twenty-two artists from India and South America. More than one hundred works are reproduced in this book (including videos, photographs, animations and installations) that investigates the cultural, natural, historical, and artistic variety distinguishing the two areas, highlighting their strong points and different critical issues, and examining the parallels between these seemingly disparate subjects.
Contemporary Photography from the Middle East and Africa

Axel Hutte: Ghosts and Reality
A photographic tour of Venice and the alpine region A collection of previously unreleased photographs by the German artist shot over the past three years, from Venice to the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. A photographer of the so-called Düsseldorf School, Axel Hutte trained under Bernd Becher with Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Candida Hofer, and Andreas Gursky. This volume presents two series of photographs. The first illustrates the author's journey from Germany to Italy, a sort of retracing of the nineteenth-century Grand Tour: from Alpine passes surrounded by snowy summits to Apennine peaks. The second explores Venice and the interiors of some of its best-known palazzi through color and black-and-white photographs.
Twentieth-Century American Photography
The prestigious new volume by Skira devoted to international contemporary photography is focused on some of the greatest American masters of the twentieth-century. This will be the first of two books (with the second coming in 2014) that seek to illustrate the outstanding quality and variety of the works which have marked American photography from the mid-twentieth-century to the present day. This first volume presents a detailed and annotated selection of works executed between the 1940s and 1970s by twenty photographers of undisputed importance--from Edward Weston and Robert Adams to Minor White and Garry Winogrand, from Lee Friedlander down to Stephen Shore--whose pursuits represent benchmarks in the history of contemporary photography. As in the case of other titles in the series, the reproductions of all the works are accompanied by a critical apparatus with texts discussing the area, artists, and research explored.
