'Gordon Parks: Segregation Story' is Back in Stock!

Untitled, Shady Grove, Alabama (1956) is reproduced from Gordon Parks: Segregation Story—one of the great photography books of the twentieth century and perhaps Parks’ photographic masterpiece—recently expanded to include 30 previously unpublished photographs and a new essay by artist Dawoud Bey, among other special features. “In picture after picture,” Bey writes, we see that “deliberate choices of tool, material and sensibility lend the Black Southern presence, often under siege, a sense of lives fully and expressively lived. We see Black subjects and spaces that are rendered with all of the qualities of expressivity that the medium is capable of in the hands of one seeking to use it as not only an information-gathering tool, and as a ‘weapon against all the things I dislike about America,’ as Parks once stated, but also as a transformative tool capable of reshaping the experience of the world, and the Southern Black peoples who lived in it, into photographs that are the equal of those made by others whose works are considered formative to the medium’s expressive potential.”

'Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series' is Back in Stock for Women's History Month!

"Untitled (Woman Standing Alone)" is reproduced from Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series, MW Editions' deluxe monograph presenting Weems' seminal 1990 photo and text series depicting the agonizing and inevitable arc of a relationship, alongside the growth of the protagonist's voice as a woman. "No really, she fussed, fussed all day long; he was worthless, not a man but a chump, couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag, she fucked with him all day long, and all day long he quietly took it all in, and then he quietly exploded. Before she could collect her wit or make a dash for the door, he seized her and hung her upside-down out of their seven story apartment window and said, 'Talk shit now, goddamnit!!' One day he placed a match-box on her clothes. It was time to book."
