The self-portrait you see—the image of your presence—will be the life you live. Part of the root of the world photograph is phōs, which means ‘light’ or ‘to shine.’ It appears also in the ancient Greek word phōsphóros, which means “bearer of light” or “bringer of light.” To photograph means to draw light. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” So begins Monuments of Solidarity, the catalog to LaToya Ruby Frazier’s formidable MoMA survey, collecting more than two decades of her rich, empathetic photographic projects dealing with equity in labor, gender relationships, race, environmental justice and health care, to name just a few of the major issues she tackles head on. “Momme” (2008) is from Frazier’s earliest, breakthrough body of work, The Notion of Family (2001–14)—centered around her collapsed steel-milling hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, and three generations of African American women including herself, her mother and her grandmother—which she initiated when she was just sixteen years old.DATE 5/8/2024 The World of Tim Burton in rare, archival materials“Untitled (Vincent)” (1982) is reproduced from Silvana new release, The World of Tim Burton, featuring 200 color reproductions of rarely or never-before-seen materials—including early sketches from Burton’s childhood, paintings, drawings, photographs, concept art, storyboards, costumes, moving-image works, maquettes, puppets and life-size sculptural installations. “There are directors who build filmographies and others who create worlds,” Giona A. Nazzaro writes. “And others still who consciously, like architects, build cathedrals over time. Among the latter are the likes of Claude Chabrol or Fassbinder. Poetics is the product of a set of recurring signs, obsessions and refrains that enables in its accumulation of evidence a conversation with a filmmaker. Creators of worlds work differently. Poetics—which usually emerges midway through the career of a director, if the premise of the early works is retained—is already all there in that first image, in the first sign (in this sense Bertrand Mandico is the closest director to Tim Burton today). The world itself is motive force to the very existence of their filmmaking. Tim Burton is a creator of worlds.”DATE 5/5/2024 Eugene Richards' eloquent new photobook documenting Green-Wood Cemetery“Hands shaking, temperature 103. The days were not much different than the nights, then the fever lifted. I was still having difficulty breathing, but needed to move, get out of the house, go to where there’d be more than a glimpse of the sky. I barely remember my first days in Green-Wood. There were gravestones up and down the hills, bare branches floating overhead.” So begins Remembrance Garden: A Portrait of Green-Wood Cemetery, noted American documentary photographer Eugene Richards’ contemplative new three-year study of the beloved Brooklyn landmark. Begun in March 2020, when he was recovering from an early case of Covid—long before the vaccine and during that eerie time when the world was first shutting down—this quiet, powerful volume reminds us that Richards is a living treasure whose vision can be as poetic as it has sometimes been searing. We are proud to have published this newest volume in his half-century output as a Magnum documentarian and master photography book maker.DATE 5/1/2024 A new book on NYC graffiti art legend Lee QuiñonesDATE 4/20/2024 Heads up on 4/20!DATE 4/14/2024 Vintage 'Audio Erotica' from Jonny TrunkDATE 4/11/2024 A new must-have memoir from American icon Danny LyonsDATE 4/9/2024 The excruciating power of Käthe KollwitzDATE 4/7/2024 Ed Ruscha / Now Then opens at LACMADATE 3/27/2024 Welcome No More Rulers!DATE 3/23/2024 On view now!
