Edward Steichen: The Family of Man
This classic available again! Copies arriving in one to two weeks.
"In January 1955, Edward Steichen organized the MOMA's most ambitious photographic exhibition ever with the intention of showing man's universal humanity. Forty years later this book, the exhibit's accompanying monograph, is just as convincing as it ever was. In The Family of Man we see life lived everywhere through ritual, emotion, family, birth and death. The exhibit's 503 photographs include some of the most famous photographs of the Twentieth Century."—the publisher READ MORE

Paul Caponigro: Meditations in Silver
More copies arriving in one to two weeks.
"[The photos] are psychological revelations about the passage of time and the mortality that all humans share. The invitation to unfoldment is extended with a caveat requiring not only silence and time, but also the willingness to see beyond commonplace appearances of rock, leaf, and seed. Paul Caponigro's photographs are included in most history of photography texts and contemporary art museums. Meditations in Silver is published to coincide with a solo exhibition of Caponigro's still lifes at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art."—the publisher READ MORE

Helen Levitt
"If ever anyone was born to be a photographer, Helen Levitt was. Looking at these pictures triggers that tingling feeling you get from photographs by artists like Lartigue, Kertész and Cartier-Bresson: a feeling that the camera is less an expertly operated tool than the seamless extension of mind and body that are preternaturally alert to the world.' — The New York Times from the publisher's blurb READ MORE

Namibia
"Namibia, on the south-west coast of Africa, is sandwiched between two vast deserts - to the east is the Kalahari and to the west, the Namib, which runs along the entire coastline of this large and sparsely populated country. It is a land of amazing primary sources of diamonds. Much of Namibia is desert, and the sand dunes, shaped by the winds, are colored by the prevailing light."—the publisher READ MORE

Danielle Mericle: Seneca Ghosts
"Danielle Mericle's enigmatic new book of photographs
takes as its subject an elusive herd of albino deer
that roams a deactivated cold war-era army depot in
upstate New York. Through a compelling mix of
photographic empiricism and poetic
stream-of-consciousness, this book becomes a
reflection on our limited ability to access and engage
the political past through personal experience. Seneca
Ghosts, via its inability to fully articulate the
white deer (thus its failure as a useful document),
exudes instead the notion of linear history as mere illusion."—the publisher READ MORE
