Winogrand
Garry Winogrand (19281984) was a native New Yorker whose photography epitomizes the indigenous pulse and social complexity of the urban scene after World War II. This collection of 175 photographs shot by Winogrand in a single year records an America in transition. Each picture is a strange, unforgettable surprise, documenting the artists comedic, almost palpable empathy for his subjects, and crystallizing his influence as a photographic interpreter of the 1960s. Most of the images in this collection are previously unpublished.

Lauren Greenfield: Generation Wealth
A highly anticipated monograph from the internationally acclaimed documentary photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield: Generation Wealth is both a retrospective and an investigation into the subject of wealth over the last twenty-five years. Greenfield has traveled the world - from Los Angeles to Moscow, Dubai to China - bearing witness to the global boom-and-bust economy and documenting its complicated consequences. Provoking serious reflection, this book is not about the rich, but about the desire to be wealthy, at any cost.
Twenty Parachutes
This elegant little book presents Margaret Bourke-White's brilliant photographic sequence of parachutes being tested by employees of the Irving Air Chute Company in Buffalo, in the 1930s. With 20 duotone plates.
Paul Strand, Southwest
The Southwest period brought not only artistic renewal, but also personal turmoil. This book reconstructs, in an intimate, visual way, the emotional and creative swirl around Paul Strand.
Edward Weston
This new book surveys Edward Weston's work more comprehensively and exhaustively than any previous work. A combination of biography and critical analysis, it offers more than 320 meticulously reproduced duotone images, nearly a quarter of which have never been reproduced in books before. The selected photographs trace Weston's career from his early days, through formative years in Mexico, and on through the balance of his career, which ended because of the onset of Parkinson's disease ten years prior to his death in 1958. Treated chronologically and emphasizing Weston's creative preoccupations in each period, the book includes work that he created in 1938 and 1939 with funds from the first two Guggenheim Foundation grants ever awarded to a photographer. To illustrate the book vintage prints have been selected from the copious Weston Archives at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, and the highly important Lane Collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Nearly 10,000 photographs have been examined in order to select those reproduced in the book.
Private Enemy, Public Eye
Bringing a filmmaker's sensibility to his work, Charlesworth's photographs embody the dislocation of modern society with subtle wit and wild abandon. Accompanied by an essay by Charles Hagen, former reviews editor of Artforum. 20 color and 20 black-and-white photos.
New Work
This is the second monograph, surveying work from 1994 to 1998, by the American artist Ann Mandelbaum. She continues to reinvent the classic genres of still life and landscape, emphasizing the body and organic form. The new images elevate the familiarity with skin; and its folds, wrinkles and protrusions to abstract and surprising levels. Tongues spring rudely to life or sit against one another like stacked pebbles. Chests become fields of barbed wire. The results are disturbing and alienating in nature, yet demand an awareness of physical self.
Girl Culture
Revealing and insightful, Lauren Greenfield's classic monograph on the lives of American girls is back in print. Greenfield's award-winning photographs capture the ways in which girls are affected by American popular culture. With an eye for both the common and the eccentric, she visits girls of all ages, discussing issues ranging from eating disorders and self-mutilation to spring break and prom. With more than 100 mesmerizing photographs, 18 interviews, and an introduction by social and cultural historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg, this book is as vital and relevant now as when it was first published.
