PHOTOGRAPHY MONOGRAPHS & CATALOGSSEARCH BY PHOTOGRAPHERFEATURED PHOTOGRAPHERSGIOVANNI IUDICE"Perhaps this is exactly what Iudice wants to say. That mystery has to be sought in what is exotic and mysterious. Mystery finds refuge in things that are most familiar: nothing is more unknown than the friend we think we know as well as we know ourselves. By the way, what’s so strange? Is it that we really do know ourselves?"

TIM DAVIS"The First Law of Thermodynamics tells us that in the universe there is a finite amount of energy; it can neither be created nor destroyed. The same can not be said for significance. For human beings, with their persistent drive to generate meaning, there is an infinite amount of significance, and for photographers this is canon law. The photographs in The New Antiquity are attempts to pour little molds of meaning for the peripheral present to harden in; to document a very real faux-archeological significance as I tracked down ruined fragments of a very recent ancient past."--Tim Davis, excerpted from his text to The New Antiquity.
LEE FRIEDLANDERBorn in 1934, Lee Friedlander is one of the world's most important living photographers.

TOD PAPAGEORGETod Papageorge, born in 1940 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, earned his BA in English literature from the University of New Hampshire in 1962, where he began taking photographs during his last semester. Often compared to Garry Winogrand and Robert Frank, and grouped with major figures of 70s photography like Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, he is the recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships and two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. In 1979, Papageorge was named Yale University's Walker Evans Professor of Photography and Director of Graduate Studies in Photography, positions he continues to hold today. He is represented in New York by Pace/Macgill Gallery.

EIKOH HOSOEEikoh Hosoe was born in the Yamagata Prefecture of Japan in 1933. Today he remains one Japan's most important artists--not only for his own work but also as a teacher and as an ambassador fostering artistic exchange between Japan and the outside world. He is the founder and director of the Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts and professor of photography at the Tokyo Institute of Polytechnics. Hosoe lives in Tokyo and is represented by the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York.
PETER BIALOBRZESKIWith a keen eye and strong political instincts, photographer Peter Bialobrzeski (born 1961) has made photobooks about new Asian metropolises, wastelands on the outskirts of global cities and a Filipino squatters' camp.
CANDIDA HöFERCandida Höfer was born in 1944 in Germany, and was a graduate of the Becher class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.
MIROSLAV TICHYBorn in 1926, the reclusive Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý did not become known outside of the small Moravian town of Kyjov until he was 75 years old, when he was included in the 2004 Seville Biennial by the eminent curator, Harald Szeemann. Since that time, he has garnered shows at such major international venues as the International Center of Photography in New York, where his 2010 retrospective was widely reviewed. Working with remarkably primitive looking home-made cameras and developing materials, Tichy is famed for his blurry, erotic images of local women going about their daily business oblivious of his gaze.
