[View this email in your browser]( [Logo] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY  September 28, 2024 BESTSELLER 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]( [View All Bestsellers]( PRE-ORDERS Gertrud Maja Daniels In 1667 a 12-year-old girl, Gertrud Svensdotter, was accused of walking on water in Älvdalen, Sweden. This event marked the beginning of the Swedish witch-hunts, a period of mass hysteria and horror in Älvdalen and its neighbouring regions. The book Gertrud by artist Maja Daniels uses photography to reconfigure the history and myth of these events, igniting a contemporary dialogue around Gertrud. [Gertrud]( Family Ties Tina Barney In the late 1970s, Tina Barney began a decades-long exploration of the everyday but often hidden life of the New England upper class, of which she and her family belonged. Photographing close relatives and friends, she became an astute observer of the rituals common to the intergenerational summer gatherings held in picturesque homes along the East Coast. These personal, often surreal, scenes present a secret world of the haute bourgeoisie. [Family Ties]( Epitome Vic Bakin For Vic Bakin, Epitome is a fairly personal visual journey, an attempt to look at some things more than once. It is also an elaboration on the consequences and entanglements of war for a young generation of Ukrainian men. The series consists of pictures shot in war-torn places he visited between 2022 and 2023, as well as pictures printed from his own archive of previous years. While navigating the wounded land, he looks for a glimmer of hope in people and places. [Epitome]( BOOK REVIEW All the Colors I Am Inside Deb Achak Reviewed by George Slade "Seattle-based photographer Deb Achak’s 'debut monograph' (says her bio) feels like the first chapter of a longer story. It’s a work in progress. All the Colors I Am Inside is a tantalizing set of photographs implying various tactile experiences to be had. Inhale a verdant pine forest. Feel the cool stone by the creek, or the sun as it drapes over your shoulder. Enjoy the surprise of a bird’s nest grounded under a canopy of dandelions. Then, as the book ends, fireworks, watery submersion, a cloud of mist, and an ampersand moon (you must see it to understand) all hinting, like an ellipsis, of more to come..." — George Slade [Read the Full Review]( [Order Copies]( RECENTLY FEATURED The Absolute Recedes Brian Merriam Signed copies available! "The Absolute Recedes is a union of the universal and the personal. The project acted as a filter through which I could process and transform traumatic personal experience into a greater awareness of, and a deeper relationship with, the universe at large. In the wake of powerful loss, I felt as though I was given a choice. I could continue to languish in cynicism, or I could try to grow - to meet the moment, or perhaps, to transcend it." — Brian Merriam [The Absolute Recedes]( As the Sun Sets on Me, it Rises on You Hiroshi Watanabe Signed copies! Will Write Soon Luce Lebart On Instagram David Hurn 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]( Peter Hujar Behind the Camera and in the Darkroom My Mother, My Son Mary Frey Men Untitled Carolyn Drake Signed copies! Omen Phantasmagoria at the Farm Security Administration Archive: 1935–1944 Drawing from approximately 40,000 works of the Farm Security Administration Photographic Archive (1935–44) housed at the New York Public Library, Omen reviews and reframes this landmark project of modern American documentary photography. Many of the more iconic images that arose from this initiative were instrumental in constructing a hegemonic narrative of triumph against adversity in Depression-era America. In scrutinizing the backgrounds and secondary characters of some lesser-known photographs, however, a more turbulent story emerges.
