LIMITED EDITION (with Print) First edition, first printing. Special limited edition of 50 copies hand-numbered and signed by Weifenbach, with one original color Type C print tipped in the front cover. Hardcover. Cloth, with debossed title on cover, no dust jacket as issued. 72 pp. with 35 four-color plates. 12 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches. CONDITION: New. From the publisher: "Terri Weifenbach has received international acclaim for her gorgeous, vividly colored landscape photographs -- and deservedly so. She has been described as "the Emily Dickinson of photography" and the work in this new book can only strengthen her reputation as a truly original force in contemporary art. Weifenbach creates images based on seemingly unexceptional pastoral scenes that become quite extraordinary through her masterful presentation of their subject matter. Sometimes a whole picture is shot out of focus, or perhaps just one detail -- a leaf, a bud, a blade of grass -- is sharply focused, commanding attention, while the rest gently recedes into a soft and mellow blur. The results are breathtaking as, dream-like and entrancing, they evoke gentle memories of hazy summer days. The images for this, the artist's third monograph, were made in Lana, a small Italian village nestling in the mountainous South Tyrol."

Michael Kenna's photographs have long inspired words such as mysterious, elegant, and hauntingly beautiful adjectives that likewise describe the Japanese landscape. The photographs in Kenna's important monograph, Japan, are the result of an ideal pairing of artist and subject. Kenna has had a large following in Japan ever since his first exhibition there in 1987. His many subsequent exhibitions and publications in Japan have provided him with ample opportunities to visit and photograph. During the past several years, as this project began to take shape, Kenna's trips became more frequent and intense. The resulting images are stunning. Superbly printed in tritone, Japan is hardbound in red cloth and presented in a Japanese folding slipcase. Text in Japanese and English by Kotaro Iizawa.

MASAO YAMAMOTO THE PATH OF GREEN LEAVES (ONE PICTURE BOOK 16) /ANGLAIS

YAMAMOTO MASAO

Artist Book. The 17th title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production: Small-size volume format. Titles on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Martin Parr. Presents the bitingly satirical yet oddly moving work of the internationally acclaimed British photographer Martin Parr. Parr has long been fascinated by Communist countries and by their artifacts in particular. This small but perfectly presented selection of color images ("Still Lifes", as Martin Parr calls them) colorfully depicts a range of food from a plate of luncheon meat to a gloriously decorated cake, juxtaposed with the necessities of life: Toilet roll, a bar of soap, a dripping tap. "The photographs were taken between 1999 and 2002 in Cuba, Latvia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan. Not all these countries are still under Communist rule but the subjects of Parr's still lifes still survive. Martin Parr is a Magnum photographer whose work has been extensively exhibited and published worldwide" (Publisher's blurb). A neat triumph. 6 color plates, 1 original print. The most important and most influential living British photographer.

Michael Kenna: A twenty year retrospective / [introduction Peter C. Bunnel]

Michelle Keim grew up in rural Ohio, an area more known for its rolling pastures than industrial parks. While in college at the Columbus College of Art and Design, she became fascinated by the industrial landscape and its overbearing presence. Keim started photographing active industry in the Midwest in 1992 and moved to Chicago three years later to get closer to the great steel metropolis of Gary, Indiana. The industrial landscapes have led Keim to explore the fascinating concept of power, an overwhelming force that is inherent in the utilitarian structures she shoots. The scale and function of industry rivals the sublime beauty associated with natural forms and forces. Keim accentuates this relationship by photographing at night, which eliminates details in the massive forms. The ultimate goal for Keim is to emphasize the force and drama with which active industrial structures rise up from the contemporary landscape. Steel mills and power plants contain the same tense beauty and spectacular power as volcanoes and electrical storms, and serve as a reminder that industrial age technology is powerfully in the present. Michelle Keim's first monograph, Iron Beauties is published in a first edition of 1,000 copies.

From the publisher: "Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Alec Soth's Sleeping by the Mississippi captures America's iconic yet oft-neglected "third coast." Soth's richly descriptive, large-format color photographs present an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors. Sensuous in detail and raw in subject, Sleeping by the Mississippi elicits a consistent mood of loneliness, longing, and reverie. "In the book's 46 ruthlessly edited pictures," writes Anne Wilkes Tucker, "Soth alludes to illness, procreation, race, crime, learning, art, music, death, religion, redemption, politics, and cheap sex." Like Robert Frank's classic The Americans, Sleeping by the Mississippi merges a documentary style with a poetic sensibility. The Mississippi is less the subject of the book than its organizing structure. Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust."
