"American photographer Nicholas Nixon (born 1947) is best known for "The Brown Sisters," his ongoing series of annual portraits of his wife Bebe and her three sisters (recently exhibited and published by The Museum of Modern Art). But Nixon's wider oeuvre has been less well documented. Long overdue, "Nicholas Nixon: About Forty Years" will be the first publication to focus on the broader swath of Nixon's more than 40-year career.In a pub ..."
"“Humans, unlike other living creatures, want to make and look at pictures.” So begins the introduction to the jaw-dropping array of photographs in Long Story Short, the latest in Fraenkel Gallery’s idiosyncratic surveys of photography since the medium’s invention 180 years ago.A surprising and unconventional slice of photography’s history, Long Story Short is also an abbreviated tour of Fraenkel Gallery’s approach to photography.

"Every five years or thereabouts, the renowned Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco finds itself with a number of unrelated works of photography that stand out as special, and which ultimately get collected in one of the gallery's award-winning and sought-after quintannual publications. These publications, every one of which has been a masterpiece of photography publishing, and swiftly becomes a rarity, constitute a kind of ultimate connois ..."
"Celebrated and revered by artists, the work of Peter Hujar remains something of a public secret, but his photographs dealing with sex and eroticism, made between the years 1969 and 1986, have come to define a certain era in New York. Today they are widely considered to be his finest and most radical work. Hujar's view of the human body is uninhibited and uncompromising, but his poignant explorations of sexuality and desire also project ..."

""The Eye Club," unofficially founded around 1975, was the nickname given to the loose conglomeration of individuals who found themselves among the first new collectors of photography. Operating purely on instinct and the love of seeing, these few dozen people (including Sam Wagstaff, Andre Jammes and other now-legendary collectors) shared a distaste for established pantheons and veered instead toward the lesser-known, the anonymous, the ..."

"Imagine the ultimate collection of works on paper from the last two centuries: an ink drawing by Brice Marden, a callotype by Muybridge, a Rauschenberg collage, a Degas charcoal, a Friedlander gelatin-silver print and perhaps 65 pieces of comparable quality. This is the wonderful treat that Fraenkel and Marks have put together for us in the exhibition Open Secrets and the accompanying volume of 70 works on paper in a wide range of media ..."

"From the publisher: "That the camera can give uncanny life to inanimate objects is something recognized and explored by photographers since the invention of the medium more than 150 years ago. Through forty-one photographs of sculpture, The Kiss of Apollo examines aspects of the photographer's enlivening gaze and the ways in which new meaning can be created when one artist observes the work of another.""

"Since the invention of photography almost 175 years ago, the medium has proven itself understandably adept at capturing what is there to be photographed: the solid, the concrete, that which can be seen. Another tradition exists, however; a parallel tradition in which photographers and artists have attempted to depict via photographic means that which is not so easily photographed: dreams, ghosts, god, thought, time. The Unphotographable ..."
"The history of the photographic book goes back well more than a century; the medium of photography and the book format were understood very early on to relate to each other on both technical and aesthetic levels. The examples of truly great combinations of photographic image and text, great design and typography bound together as books are numerous, and make up an impressive artistic, social, and documentary statement of the 20th centur ..."
"Though they are largely unknown, sculptor, draughtsman and painter David Smith took photographs of great depth, beauty and precision throughout his career--from 1931 until his death in 1965. The large part of these images can be divided into two categories: the photographs of assemblages of found objects from the early and middle 1930s that were conceived as artworks themselves, and the pictures, taken mostly after 1945, that documented ..."
"British author Geoff Dyer once surmised that Edward Hopper "could claim to be the most influential American photographer of the twentieth century--even though he didn't take any photographs." What we see in Hopper's paintings when we look at them through the lens of photography, and how, in turn, the language of photography was influenced by Hopper's work, are the twin subjects of Edward Hopper & Company. Thoughtfully curated and edited ..."

"Photographs 1946-2004Gebundenes BuchDer amerikanische Fotograf Richard Avedon (1923-2004) war berühmt für seine »Heart Shots«, in denen er Stars just in dem Augenblick festhielt, in dem sie »die Maske fallen lassen« und ihr wahres Gesicht zeigen. Berühmt-berüchtigt ist auch, wie unbarmherzig er diesen Moment herbeiführte. So erzählte er etwa dem Duke und der Duchess of Windsor, beide für ihre große Tierliebe bekannt, dass sein Taxi auf ..."
