Passing Through Eden
"When Tod Papageorge began this work, the newspapers saw Central Park chiefly as a site of danger and outrage, and they were doubtless partly right. But the park shown here seems no more dangerous than life itself, and no less filled with beauty, charming incident, excess, jokes in questionable taste, unintended consequence, and pathos, truly described. One might say that no artist has done so much for this piece of land since Frederick Law Olmstead." --John Szarkowski, The Museum of Modern Art, New York After receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1977, Tod Papageorge began to photograph intensively in Central Park, employing medium-format cameras rather than the 35mm Leicas that he had used ...

Todd Papageorge
Tod Papageorge: Dr. Blankman ́s New York documents a brief but critical moment in the photographer's early career, the two years Papageorge shot in color in New York in the late 1960s. Black-and-white photography was still the "serious" medium, and color reserved for commercial applications; Papageorge--25 years old and newly arrived in New York City--was encouraged by his fellow photographers to seek paying magazine work by developing a body of work in color. In some ways it was a failed experiment: Papageorge mostly approached color in the same way as he approached black and white, except that he also began to intuitively produce still-life pictures with little commercial appeal, spotligh...

Opera Città
In Opera Città, Tod Papageorge pays homage to Rome and the act of flanerie. He strolled though the city, at first without any aim, and then almost systematically, through various neighborhoods, parks, train stations, suburban avenues and the city center. Through his lens, the much-photographed city could be any urban area, filled with ordinary people living their lives.
Tod Papageorge: War & Peace in New York
The street life and political tensions of Tod Papageorge's late 1960s New York, in a two-volume clothbound presentation This publication comprises two books of pictures Papageorge made after moving to Manhattan as a young man. As different as they are from one another--each book advances a distinct argument supporting Papageorge's belief in photographic "fiction-making"--together they amount to a comprehensive portrait of an uneasy city during a grim, fevered time. Down to the City follows (and ironically twists) the first sentences of Plato's Republic, threading phrases from Socrates' description of a religious festival through a stream of pictures seized in Manhattan's secular streets. Thi...
Tod Papageorge: Passing Through Eden
A New York idyll: Papageorge's portrait of Central Park as modern Arcadia, back in print Tod Papageorge (born 1940) started photographing intensely in New York's Central Park in the late 1970s and continued working there until he moved from the city in the early 1990s. More than ten years later, he edited these pictures into a book which, in its marriage of the sensual and poetic, evokes the prelapsarian Eden suggested by its title. This reissue of Passing Through Eden duplicates the first 2007 edition in its entirety, including Papageorge's thoughtful essay on the evolution of his photography and its basis in his early attempts to write poetry. His essay further describes how the first half...
A Shimmer of Possibility
"First published in late 2007, Paul Graham's a shimmer of possibility was quickly hailed as "one of the most important advances in contemporary photographic practice that has taken place in a long while" and marked a paradigm shift in the medium. The first edition redefined what a photobook can be. Comprising 12 individual hardback books in an edition of 1,000 copies, it sold out immediately. This second edition brings together the 12 books in one single volume at an accessible price. Loosely inspired by Chekhov's short stories, a shimmer of possibility comprises a series of photographic short stories of everyday life in today's America. Each story is a small sequence of images, such as a ma...
