[View this email in your browser]( [Logo] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY  August 31, 2024 BESTSELLER Viaggi Luigi Ghirri Among the many recurring interests that connect the rich and open-ended oeuvre of Luigi Ghirri, a fascination with travel resonates through his photographs, publications, and writings. This book by curator James Lingwood charts a course through Ghirri’s photography between 1970 and 1991, exploring the manifold ways in which journeys – viaggi – appear. This vividly curated book maps a route through Ghirri’s work that takes in familiar landmarks and surprising detours, interleaving many of his best loved photographs with unseen discoveries from the Ghirri archive. [Viaggi]( [View All Bestsellers]( PRE-ORDERS I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours Carolyn Drake & Andres Gonzalez Signed copies available! In I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours, photographers Carolyn Drake and Andres Gonzalez embark on a collaborative journey along the US–Mexico border, creating an imaginative portrait of life in these borderlands. Cameras in hand, they traverse towns and waterways together, photographing the same subjects from different perspectives and capturing everyday scenes that appear both staged and ad hoc. [I’ll let you be in my dreams…]( Europa 1966-1967 Joel Meyerowitz In 1966, at the age of 28, photographer Joel Meyerowitz embarked on a journey that would take him to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, Turkey and Greece. Europa 1966–1967 compiles a selection of photographs taken by Meyerowitz on his yearlong trip through Europe, offering an exciting glimpse of the “New Old World” that, having lately overcome the trauma of World War II, opened itself to modernity and progress. [Europa 1966-1967]( BOOK REVIEW As We See It Edited by Suzanne Newman Fricke Reviewed by George Slade "Some years ago, I reviewed a book by James C. Faris titled Navajo and Photography: A Critical History of the Representation of an American People. Over 392 pages it deeply considers photography’s role in exposing and commandeering culture...I remember being enthralled by the book and surprised at the author’s revelations. I also recall thinking that, despite all the academic, linguistic, and ethical exegesis, Faris seemed motivated by something fairly simple — a sense of indignity, a personal wound of sorts that he suffered at someone’s hands in relation to or on behalf of Navajo peoples..." — George Slade [Read the Full Review]( RECENTLY FEATURED Advice for Young Artists Alec Soth Signed copies available! Between 2022 and 2024, Alec Soth visited twenty-five undergraduate art programmes across the United States. Advice for Young Artists comprises work he made there. Its title — perhaps like the visits themselves — is misleading: rather than wisdom or guidance, Soth offers an angular and unresolved reflection on artmaking at different stages of life and the relations of photography, time, and ageing. The photographs here range from formal studies evocative of the classroom to more unruly works of self-expression. [Advice for Young Artists]( Kudzu Sabine Bungert and Stefan Dolfen [Kudzu]( 121/183 Boris Tellegen & DELTA [121/183]( Prologue to the Story of the Birth of Freedom Paul Pfeiffer [Prologue to the Story]( Gregory Crewdson For more than three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been luring viewers into the worlds of his cinematic, highly detailed, and assiduously crafted photographs. This retrospective catalog features images from nine series that represent a broad chronological spectrum of Crewdson’s oeuvre. With highest quality reproductions, paper changes, and incisive essays by photography expert Walter Moser and other esteemed art historians, this exhibition catalog reveals why Crewdson’s powerful, elegiac and painterly photos draw comparisons to old master painting, staged photography and auteur cinema.

In the working-class communities of South Wales, “ta-ra” is another way of saying goodbye. This sets the stage for Sebastián Bruno’s photographic series shot between 2013 and 2022 in towns and cities across South Wales, including Cardiff, Barry Island, Swansea, and Abertillery.

Yet the origins of the mafia have been regarded as something of a mystery. Recently, an analysis of two historic datasets on agriculture, social structure and crime has revealed that a major catalyst for the rise of the mafia in Sicily was, somewhat surprisingly, the surge in demand for lemons that began in the first half of the 19th century. The book Fear Guards the Lemon Grove by Klaus Pichler is an attempt to reconstruct the rise of the early Cosa Nostra and its connection with the lemon trade.

"This original volume which reproduces the spiky-leafed Bourgati's Eryngo as a gold-stamped motif and its forest green cloth binding, is at once understated and encyclopedic. Its 120 pages of copperplate gravure images run on the right, usually with a wide expanse of white border around a single photo, although variations on a theme often include diptychs or triptychs. Blossfeldt who amassed some 6,000 botanical studies in his lifetime (the majority based on specimens he gathered himself on bicycle trips to the countryside), began taking these photos in 1898 for use as visual aids in his lectures on natural structure." — Vince Aletti, The Book of 101 Books [Urformen der Kunst]( Brett Weston Photographs Signed copy!

[Tulsa]( When We Were Three The Travel Albums of George Platt Lynes, Monroe Wheeler, and Glenway Wescott 1925-1935 [When We Were Three]( Fifty Photographs Edward Weston Initialed! Out of Print. First Edition. Numbered 1440/1500 and initialed by Edward Weston. Signed & dated 1950 by Merle Armitage (the book's designer). $850 Hardbound. "Weston made the selection himself, 'fifty of my favorite photographs chosen because they have lived well and because they have not been reproduced... in book form before.' Though it includes all of Weston's genres - landscapes, nudes, still lifes, and portraits - it is an unusual selection, more edgy than iconic... The overall effect of this highly unusual selection is to make visible the real legacy of Weston's work, the way it influenced so much of what would come after. The 50 photographs are followed by a portrait of Weston himself, taken by his son Cole in Point Lobis in 1946, in which the old man is shown wedged between boulders: alert, watchful, mobile, and as sound as stone." — David Levi Straus, The Book of 101 Books [Fifty Photographs]( [Instagram icon]( [Facebook icon]( [Twitter icon]( [Website icon]( Copyright © 2024 photo-eye Bookstore, All rights reserved.
