Christoph Niemann simply can't resist traveling. Luckily for us, he's no standard globetrotter but an artist who can masterfully capture his surroundings, wherever they may be, in vibrant brush and ink drawings. "As an artist, " he says, "I'm conscious of the limitations that come from seeing the world through a Western lens. That's why I like to travel: because traveling requires-and inspires-a shift in perspective." And so in Away we're priv...

In the atmospheric photographs of Sounds of Spheres, Mat Hennek creates striking impressions of how we imaginatively engage with nature. Whether depicting the world from a traditional receding perspective-a misty landscape at sunrise, snow-laden branches, palm trees bending in the wind-or from above-the serpentine curves of a river, fossil-like patterns in sand, the churning surface of the ocean-Hennek does not record nature but captures the a...

This extensive overview is an homage to all the photographers, artists, writers, designers, printers, paper importers and publishers, as well as the museums, associations, and commercial clients and their organizations that shaped Dutch photo publications between 1912 and 1980. Across more than 500 pages, through a series of texts and more than 1, 000 reproductions, the work and vision of Hendrikus Theodorus Wijdeveld, Piet Zwart, Jan Kamman, ...

In the early 1980s, her very first camera in hand, Dayanita Singh traveled throughout India for six winters with the tabla maestro Zakir Hussain. At his side, she had the privilege of photographing several great classical musicians, creating an extensive image archive of them on stage and backstage, in their homes and on the faithful bus which brought them from concert to concert. When the time came for Singh to edit her work into a book, she ...

Beginning with Museum of Chance (2015) and most elaborately expressed in her award-winning Museum Bhavan (2017), Dayanita Singh has long created museums in book form, little offset symphonies that create a fluid space between the museum/gallery and publishing. Now, in Museum of Dance. Mother Loves to Dance, Singh collects all the images of people dancing she made in the 1980s and '90s-from her mother Nony Singh, her friend and collaborator Mon...

Mortes presents Diana Michener's reflections on the mystery of death. In three visual chapters focused on different themes, Michener explores her complex relationship to her subject: one of terror and wonder, of scientific fact and the inexplicable, of reverence and acceptance. The first chapter "Heads" shows the heads of cows slaughtered at an abattoir. Fascinated by the ambivalent relationship between the body and spirit, Michener records th...

Nobel Laureates in Portraits"-for this comprehensive project German photographer Peter Badge has been traveling the world since 2000. More than 400 encounters have now provided him with incomparable insight into the worlds of those who "have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind"-as Alfred Nobel described it in his last will and testament. This book is, however, much more than the mere "making of" of a long-term photographic undertaking. I...

The archive has long been an obsession for Dayanita Singh. Both literal archives, treasuries of objects chosen with care and preserved against time, and the photobook as a moveable archive which the viewer can re-visit and display at will. In Pothi Khana (Hindi for "archive room"), Singh presents photographs of India's seemingly endless private and public archives: shelf after shelf of bundles wrapped and knotted in pieces of cloth once colorf...

This is the newest book in Juergen Teller's original and beloved "Masters" series. Teller made his first Master in 2005 as an homage to anything and everything he believes is a master or masterful-be it punk rock icon Iggy Pop, actor Gillian Anderson, football manager Carlo Ancelotti, or even a simple vase of flowers-as well as a tongue-in-cheek recognition of himself as the master of his photographic identity. The concept was simple: to creat...

Petersen's is an indiscriminate and intensely empathetic eye, one shaped by a fundamental connection with those he photographs-"To me, it's all about people ... what they do, what they believe, their dreams, hopes, visions and virtues."

In Edward Burtynsky's recent photographs, produced across the African continent, the patterns and scars of human-altered landscapes initially appear to form an abstract painterly language, they reference the sublime and often surreal qualities of human mark-making. While chronicling the major themes of terraforming and extraction, urbanization and deforestation, African Studies conveys the unsettling reality of sweeping resource depletion on b...

This book is Henry Leutwyler's meticulous photographic record of the treasures of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva. In his trademark style, Leutwyler does not merely document objects but creates portraits of them, conjuring up their past lives and imbuing the inanimate with character. Here he sifted through the nearly 30, 000 objects in the museum, shaping a selection that most movingly conveys the vital functions ...

Als er gefragt wurde, mit welcher Frau in der Geschichte der Kunst er gerne zu Abend essen würde, nannte Umberto Eco Uta von Naumburg. So geht es auch dem Erzähler dieser Geschichte. Ende der 1980er Jahre auf Lesereise in der DDR, findet er sie, die schönste Frau des Mittelalters, mit elf weiteren Stifterfiguren im Naumburger Dom. Und weil auf dem Papier alles möglich ist, bittet er alle, nach deren Abbild der Künstler im 13. Jahrhundert die l...

Gordon Parks' 1967 Life magazine essay "Whip of Black Power" is a nuanced profile of the young and controversial civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael.

Parks, on contract with Life, shadowed him from the fall of 1966 to the spring of 1967...

Wir bauen zusammen unsere Zukunft«, erklärten Juergen Teller und Dovile Drizyte auf ihrer Hochzeitseinladung, handgeschrieben mit einem Foto des stolzen Paares, das sich, bekleidet mit nichts weiter als Schutzhelmen und Jacken, auf einer Baustelle in Pose wirft. Dies setzte den feierlichen, respektlosen Ton für ihre Hochzeit in Neapel - ein Anlass, den sie zu einem mehrtägigen, unvergesslichen Erlebnis für ihre Gäste machten, in einer Stadt, d...

Zwischen der Ostberlinerin Sibylle Bergemann und der weiten Welt steht bis zum 9. November 1989 die Mauer. Timbuktu, Bangkok, Dakar sind bis zu dieser Nacht nichts anderes als Namen mit einem sehnsuchtsvollen Klang. Dann wendet sich die Zeit, und Sibylle Bergemanns Fernweh, ein Leben lang gehegt, findet seine Erfüllung: Sie bricht auf in den Jemen, nach Thailand, Ghana, Vietnam, Indien, Nepal, Mali, lässt sich hinreißen von fremden Kulturen, M...
