"Real Clothes, Real Lives highlights over 300 garments and accessories from the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection. This unique survey honors countless lives, tracing through the lens of dress how women's roles have changed over the decades. Each piece holds colorful stories about the woman who wore it, the one who made or bought it, and her context in place and time. Whether homemade or ready-made, many of the garments are modest and inexpensive. Some are one-of-a-kind pieces; others are examples of clever making-do, which seems particularly relevant today; and most reflect the popular styles of their era. Among the many extraordinary examples are a rare World War I uniform worn by an American woman working behind enemy lines and a 1970s go-go dancer's costume."--Publisher's website.

A tribute to the creative vision and feminist philosophy of Diane Von Furstenberg and her eponymous brand, whose iconic wrap dress, created fifty years ago, remains a conduit of personal expression and self-empowerment for women across the globe.In 1972, Diane von Furstenberg created a chic and universally flattering ready-to-wear jersey wrap dress that launched her career and would forever change the landscape of women’s fashion. Since then DVF, the woman and the brand, have created designs that empower and promote a woman’s sense of self, weaving feminism and activism into the brand’s DNA.This visually vibrant tome, which accompanies an exhibition held in von Furstenberg’s hometown of Brussels, features nostalgic and contemporary photographs of her journey as a designer. Printed with three different luxe paper stocks withvarying inserts in each chapter, this book features beautiful graphicfabrics flooding each page, alongside numerous images of the wrap dressworn by von Furstenberg and models Jerry Hall, NaomiCampbell, and Cindy Crawford. Original essays discuss the intersection of Von Furstenberg and her designs with feminism, gender politics, and entrepreneurship, with personal anecdotes from collaborators like model Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Stefani Greenfield. Unique and contemporary, this is a story of the inimitable designer, her brand, and the significant role of a single dress that continues to inspire generations of women.

"From street corners to corner offices, mixtapes made a huge impact on the music industry and hip-hop culture in New York City during the late '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Mixtapes helped dictate what rap songs were hot in the clubs, on the radio, and in the streets, and they influenced which artists would get signed to record deals. Mixtapes also showcased which DJs had the most skills and creativity, and who had the juice to pull the illest exclusives. Do Remember! combines the best elements of oral and pictorial histories to explore the evolution of mixtapes as a crucial component of New York City hip-hop culture. Featuring a comprehensive collection of rare mixtape cover art, never-before-seen images, vintage tracklists, and exclusive interviews with Kid Capri, Brucie B, Mister Cee, Ron G, S&S, Doo Wop, Green Lantern, Lord Finesse, Clark Kent, Bobbito, Cipha Sounds, Havoc of Mobb Deep, the late, great DJ Kay Slay, and many more, including a special foreword by Fab 5 Freddy, Do Remember! captures an era in New York City that went on to inspire future hip-hop generations all over the world." --Provided by Publisher.

"Abandoned shopping carts are everywhere, and yet we know so little about them. Their complexity and history baffles even the most careful urban explorer. How can we understand abandoned carts without a comprehensive and well-documented taxonomy? Spanning the categories of Damaged, Fragment, Plaza Drift, Bus Stop Discard, Plow Crush, and 28 more, Julian Montague's incomparable classification and documentation of this ubiquitous feature of the urban landscape helps us see the natural and man-made worlds-and perhaps even ourselves-anew. Back in print, refreshed, and expanded, Montague's book, both rigorous and absurd, is a strangely compelling tonic no one has ever asked for but that few can do without"--

Some of Nick Brandt's subjects are humans, some are animals, but they all are creatures of equal and obvious personhood. The overwhelming sense in the photographer's ongoing global series The Day May Break is that they are all figuring out how to live in a new world. Each has arrived at the shoot at Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia through their own cascade of tragedy. Both extreme droughts and floods have destroyed people's homes and livelihoods. Victims of habitat destruction and wildlife trafficking, the animals are rescues that can never be released to the wild. People and animals were photographed in the same frame and indeed convey a sense of connectedness through a shared fate. Fog is the unifying visual, symbolic of the natural world rapidly fading from view; and an echo of the smoke from wildfires, intensified by climate change, devastating so much of the planet. But in spite of their loss, these people and animals are survivors, pioneers entering the new phase our world has reached. In The Day May Break they share their powerful stories.This set includes the volumes The Day May Break and The Day May Break - Chapter Two.NICK BRANDT (*1964, London) studied painting and film at St. Martin's School of Art, London. In 1992 he moved to California, where he still lives today. Since 2001, he has documented the destructive impact that humankind is having on the natural world and, as a result, on humans themselves. Chapter One of his seminal series The Day May Break featured photographs taken in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020. Chapter Two, shot in Bolivia in 2022, is the first time in his 20 year career that Brandt has made work outside of Africa.

In celebration of Wayne Quilliam's 2022 photography prize, this beautiful new edition is ideal for every coffee table.

Introducing Bait, the little toad with a big personality. Bait the toad loves the camera, and the camera certainly loves him! From TikTok star to up-and-coming hat model, Bait has come a long way from his roots on the Rio Grande at the Texas-Mexico border. Nothing will stop him from becoming the world’s next top supermodel… certainly not the fact that he’s an amphibian. (Bait would like to stress that frogs and toads are entirely different—and while frogs must be kissed to become princes, toads are plenty royal on their own, thank you very much.) In his modeling portfolio, Bait is ready to prove that toads have what it takes to make it big. Whether it’s sporting sassy homemade hats, striking confident poses in the garden, or hanging out with his furry friends, this tiny toad has a lot to teach us all about being comfortable in our own skin. Brighten up your day or make a loved one laugh with Bait and his pals, a perfect gift for any age.

In this subtle sequel of his rearrangement of the Thai adult magazine "Siam's Guy", Tiane Doan na Champassak revisits a number of issues from the iconic magazine "Paris-Hollywood", launched in France in the 1940s. In the middleof its pages, the original magazine had the particularity of offering pin-ups in relief or on tracing paper that the readers could undress. By using his extensive arsenal of postmodern tools, Doan na Champassak cannibalizes the original content with his own photographs, creating a hypnotic dialogue between then and now, recto-verso, dressed-undressed, Bangkok-Paris, Paris-Hollywood. In addition, the alternation between censoring the genitalia and hiding the identity adds a thought-provoking rhythm to the whole.

One Second to Live: Photography, Film and the Corporeal in An Age of Extremes is a book, in 16 chapters, that covers the aspect of photography and film that deals with the "substantial" and the "non-spiritual" - the two dictionary definitions of the corporeal. Corporeal images - moving or still - explore our common terrestrial existence in a particular place (as opposed to space) and a specific time ( as opposed to non-temporal imaginary realms peculiar to science fiction of fantasy). Whatever the vast difference in corporeal photographs and films they all deal in some way with our innate, and complex relationship to all living things and to our own sensibility. Such a view accepts as a starting point that stories are lived in bodies and made in them. As a result corporeal works are usually grounded in an intensive appreciation of sense experience. Lastly, in corporeal works there is usually a sense of doubt about any arrangement that might organize this experience into a system or a philosophy - doubt is often ever-present, not as angst but as play - or just to complicate matters as some fusion of the two. Whatever the subject or themes, corporeal poetics are invariably also celebrations of the density of being. The corporeal artwork's most salient philosophical quality is usually some form of melancholy skepticism and stoicism balanced out by a variety of Epicurean gratifications. While these are expressed more often in ironic asides, jokes, reveries, satires or aphorisms, than in formal writings or artworks, the latter are the subject of this book where we will address the corporeal aspects of still and moving images.The 16 essays that make up the book primarily cover the 20th century starting with the auspicious meeting between Edward Weston and Tina Modotti in 1919, and on to Gerhard Richters "painting as photography" in the early 21st century. It is my hope that this book entertains, clarifies, and puts the work of these master photographers and filmmakers into some historical and cultural perspective.

Over the past five years, Caroline Tompkins has been making images of her sexual desires and fears. Her forthcoming book, Bedfellow explores the relationship sex has with pleasure and danger. It holds two truths at all times - desiring men while fearing them. " What makes Bedfellow a body of work that can be felt in the body is the way Tompkins uses the power dynamics of binary gender constructs to capture a kind of primal vulnerability, one that transcends gender: the inherent risk of walking around soft creatures in a hard world. Soft vs. hard-the dichotomy can be found in nearly every frame, two opposing forces simultaneously coexisting and threatening each other. " - Gideon Jacobs

Tod Papageorge 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 re-issue 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 of the book follows the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis, from the Creation through the (metaphorical) generations that follow Cain, suggesting how, even in the heart of a modern city, we might find echoes of elemental Biblical tales being acted out around us by those drawn into the park and its promise of beauty and peace. This section of Passing Through Eden then leads to a run of pictures confirming that the human comedy is equally alive and well in the park, even as its landscape¿delightful and wild¿retakes center stage to end the book.

Tod Papageorge produced the photographs for Dr. Blankman¿s New York in 1966¿67, on the heels of moving into the city. Photographer friends persuaded him that he could help pay the rent by landing some magazine assignments, and that a carousel tray of slides would be the best way of convincing art directors to take a chance on him. So, often after spending a day in the streets photographing in black-and-white, he would put a roll of Kodachrome film in his camera on his walk home and make color pictures, in many cases of shop windows, a subject he was convinced might help him earn a bit of commercial work.This re-issue of Dr. Blankman¿s New York, first published by Steidl in 2017, has enlarged the size of the plates and, with one exception, condensed the original design to a series of double spreads, intensifying the sense that what Papageorge was doing in these photographs was elaborating, on a parallel track, the portrayal of Manhattan presented in the black-and-white work of ¿Down to the City,¿ the first volume of his War and Peace in New York (also published by Steidl this season). For even their saturated colors and outwardly unremarkable subjects fail to dispel the impression that, rather than winning a magazine job, the shadow of the long war in Vietnam and the hysteria it sparked were the impulses actually charging the photographer¿s eye and deepest feelings.

Helmut Newton's lens captured the essence of elegance, power, and glamorous sexuality, showcasing the allure of women as never before. His photographs tell stories that evoke desire, intrigue, and empowerment, leaving an indelible mark on the art world.

Richard Nonas war einer der amerikanischen Künstler, die in den 1970er Jahren daran arbeiteten, dem etablierten Minimalismus etwas Neuartiges entgegenzusetzen. Zu dieser Gruppe gehörten nicht nur Bildhauer, sondern auch Musiker und Tänzerinnen. Der performative Aspekt der Kunst stand für sie im Vordergrund, die emotionelle Erfahrung und die energetische Aufladung des Raums. Nonas war als Nomade in den USA und in Europa unterwegs, um in Galerien und Museen, selbst an entlegenen Orten, seine Skulpturen aufzubauen, denn sein Interesse galt den wechselnden Kontexten, in denen er arbeitete. Diese erste Monographie zu Richard Nonas enthält eine chronologische Darstellung seines Werks, illustriert von Photographien der Skulpturen, die Nonas selbst aufgenommen hatte.Text: Fabien Faure, Richard Shiff, Dieter Schwarz.

Consisting solely of previously unpublished photographs, The Way Back is a deep dive through Bruce Davidson's 60-year career. The book chronologically presents photos made between 1957 and 1992, showcasing Davidson's exceptional versatility-from his earliest assignments to later seminal bodies of work including his year-long study of teenage members of a "Brooklyn Gang" (1959), his extensive coverage of the American Civil Rights Movement in "Time of Change" (1961-65), and his breakthrough portraits of the residents of a single block in Harlem in "East 100th Street" (1966-68). Series such as "Subway" (1980) and "Central Park" (1992) furthermore confirm Davidson as a quintessential chronicler of New York City.Regardless of his motif, what emerges through this retrospective is Davidson's overt sensibility and empathy for his subjects, his commitment to documenting them in depth over time, and to capturing their beliefs, communities and subcultures. Unlike his peers who photographed events that constituted history, Davidson focused on the people within these histories. Now, drawing near the end of his long career, Davidson offers this book as a parting look at his artistic passage, an elegiac goodbye as well as a requiem: evidence how his vision, experienced over decades, has shaped our understanding of the world.
