| | Highlights from the Fall 2012 ListFraenkel Gallery Lee Friedlander: Mannequin Lee Friedlander is one of the few artists in any medium to have sustained a body of influential work over five decades. To make the photographs in Mannequin, he returned to the hand-held, 35-mm camera that he used in the earliest decades of his career. Over the past three years, Friedlander has roamed the sidewalks of New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, focusing on storefront windows and reflections that conjure marketplace notions of sex, fashion and consumerism, while recalling Atget’s surreal photographs of Parisian windows made 100 years earlier. Thoroughly straightforward, their unsettling and radical new compositions suggest photographs ... Hbk, 9 x 13 in. / 112 pgs / 103 duotone.  FREE UPS GROUND SHIPPING IN THE US
$49.95 Aperture Paul Strand: The Garden at OrgevalEdited and with text by Joel Meyerowitz. After nearly a lifetime of traveling and photographing in far-flung places such as Mexico, Ghana, Italy, Scotland and his adoptive country, France, Paul Strand began to concentrate on the stony beauty of his own garden at Orgeval. The work that constitutes The Garden at Orgeval offers a close, exacting study of nature’s forms and patterns: tiny button-shaped flowers, cascading winter branches and snarls of twigs. While these photographs exhibit the same directness and precise vision that is so quintessentially Strand, they also reflect his increasing preoccupation with mortality and the fragility of existence.

$45.00 The Museum of Modern Art, New York Walker Evans: American PhotographsIntroduction by Sarah Meister. Text by Lincoln Kirstein.

$60.00 Aperture Labyrinth: Daido MoriyamaText by Daido Moriyama.

$80.00 Aperture The Dutch PhotobookEdited by Frits Gierstberg, Rik Suermondt. The Dutch photobook is internationally celebrated for its particularly close collaboration between photographer, printer and designer. The current photobook publishing boom in the Netherlands stems from a tradition of excellence that precedes World War II, but the postwar years inaugurated a period of particularly close collaboration between photographers and designers, producing such unique photography books as Ed van der Elsken’s Love on the Left Bank (1956) and Koen Wessing’s Chili, September 1973 (1973). Innovations such as the photo novel and the company photobook blossomed in the 1950s and 60s; later, other genres emerged to characterize the publishing landscape in Holland, including ...

$125.00 Aperture Nan Goldin: The Ballad of Sexual DependencyEdited by Marvin Heiferman, Mark Holborn, Suzanne Fletcher. Text by Nan Goldin. First published in 1986, Nan Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the struggles for intimacy and understanding among the friends and lovers whom Goldin describes as her tribe.” These photographs described a lifestyle that was visceral, charged and seething with a raw appetite for living, and the book soon became the swan song for an era that reached its peak in the early 1980s. Twenty-five years later, Goldin’s lush color photography and candid style still demand that the viewer encounter their profound intensity head-on. As she writes: Real memory, which these pictures trigger, is an invocation ... Hbk, 10 x 9 in. / 144 pgs / 130 color.  FREE UPS GROUND SHIPPING IN THE US
