[View this email in your browser]( [Logo] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY  September 20, 2024 BESTSELLER Sons of the Living Bryan Schutmaat Signed copies available! Sons of the Living is a photobook about the land and people along the highways of America’s deserts. Photographed over the course of a decade in the American West’s arid and sweeping terrain, this work depicts a human capacity for endurance. Schutmaat offers an updated view of the “open road” that addresses a new era of uncertainty and anxiety. Amidst a backdrop of environmental decline, economic dispossession, and societal neglect, Sons of the Living draws attention to trouble on the road ahead and searches for our hope to withstand it. [Sons of the Living]( [View All Bestsellers]( PRE-ORDERS The Americans Robert Frank This edition of The Americans is a celebrated return of an iconic title to Aperture’s catalog, more than a half-century after the Aperture and Museum of Modern Art edition was published in 1968. Presented on the centennial of Frank’s birth and coinciding with a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, it has been produced following the finest tritone printing from the 2008 edition for which Frank was personally involved in every step of the design and production. [The Americans]( American Photographs Michael Ormerod Previously unseen black & white photographs taken in the United States by Michael Ormerod (1947-1991) form this new book. Ormerod was a British photographer whose life was tragically cut short in August 1991 following a road accident on his last field trip to the US. For the past decade the photographer’s daughter, Ali Ormerod, has worked alongside photographers Geoff Weston and Alan Thoburn to search through his archives of unprinted negatives to revisit the work and bring it to a new audience. [American Photographs]( Auto-Photo A Life in Portraits Alan Adler For more than fifty years, Adler maintained a suite of photobooths across Melbourne/Naarm – most notably, at a site near Flinders Street Station – and would undertake weekly testing and servicing on each photobooth across his network. To ensure the focus, flash, and print quality were all up to standard at the end of each service, Adler would take a seat in the booth and produce a test strip of photographs. Through these weekly tests, Adler produced an archive of thousands upon thousands of photographs. [Auto-Photo]( BOOK REVIEW För Agnieszka Sosnowska Reviewed by Brian Arnold "When I spend time with För, the lovely new publication of photographs by Agnieszka Sosnowska published by Trespasser Books, it is easy for me to imagine the photographer taking similar inspiration from Adams’s essay. För is a laconic book, mostly pictures with very minimal text and presented in a clear and concise manner. The photographs are made with Graflex 4x5 (there are a couple of exceptions), and all in a classical, documentary style. The pictures in För, however, tell a rich story about love and pain, joy and loss, and are executed with emotional clarity and technical precision, rooted in a deeply personal connection to photography..." — Brian Arnold [Read the Full Review]( [Order Copies]( RECENTLY FEATURED The Humanness of Our Lonely Selves Awoiska van der Molen Critically acclaimed for her psychological landscape images, Awoiska van der Molen presents a new body of work with understated black-and-white photos of built-up environments that reveal traces of human presence: she zooms in on illuminated windows in the darkness of the evening in Japan. [The Humanness of Our Lonely Selves]( In the Beginning Anselm Kiefer & Photography Silent Witness Cornelia Suhan The Unruly Archive Stephanie Syjuco Signed copies! Soledades Gilles Roudière Signed copies available! After Trova (his previous work which had such an impact on the readership of photography enthusiasts, received the HiP prize in the “Artistic Monograph” category and which was quickly sold out), Gilles Roudière returns with a new project published by Editions Lamaindonne, Soledades, which retraces 4 trips made to Andalusia. [Soledades]( Bury Me in the Back Forty Kyler Zeleny The Inhabitants Raymond Meeks Fashion Army Matthieu Nicol Mo Yi Selected Photographs 1988-2003 Mo Yi is a photographic artist with a career spanning nearly forty years, from the 1980s to today. This retrospective contextualizes his work within the evolution of contemporary art following reform and opening in China in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. Working in a documentary tradition, but building on and reinterpreting the meaning of "documentary," Mo Yi's practice is exemplified by experimentation. Regularly creating work in distinct series, he has continually tested ways of extending the boundaries of the medium and his own personal expression. [Mo Yi]( Born Black Gordon Parks The End Sends Advance Warning Todd Hido Zillion Thomas Manneke Sorry No Pictures Meggan Gould Signed copies available! "Meggan Gould’s Sorry, No Pictures is many things: it’s 20 years of photography-based work; a treatise on the nature of art-making, a memoir, a skillful meshing of visual and text-based pieces; and it’s an inspirational narrative of perseverance as a maker. Sorry, No Pictures explores the artist’s relationship with the medium, and specifically with its ever-evolving technology, over time." — Mary Goodwin of Waltz Books [Sorry No Pictures]( The Lives of Lee Miller As We See It Conversations with Native American Photographers OUT OF PRINT The Decisive Moment Henri Cartier-Bresson Out of Print. First American Edition. Exquisitely printed in photogravure. An unusually beautiful copy of one of the most important photography books of the 20th century. Limited Time 20% discount for Subscribers! "The idea of 'the decisive moment' is one of the most enduring in photographic literature, and no one has articulated it better than its coiner, in his preface to this book: "To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression." Cartier-Bresson's "precise organization of forms" has come to be the standard against which that of all other photographers is measured, and this book is its proper expression." — David Levi Straus, The Books of 101 Books [The Decisive Moment]( Karlův Most Josef Sudek Niagara Alec Soth Signed copies! A Thousand Crossings Sally Mann Signed! Out of Print. Signed. Very Fine in Very Fine Dust Jacket. For more than 40 years, Sally Mann (b. 1951) has made experimental, elegiac, and hauntingly beautiful photographs that explore the overarching themes of existence: memory, desire, death, the bonds of family, and nature’s magisterial indifference to human endeavor. Organized into five sections—Family, The Land, Last Measure, Abide with Me, and What Remains—and including many works not previously exhibited or published, A Thousand Crossings is a sweeping overview of Mann’s artistic achievements.
