Judith Turner began taking photographs in 1972, commencing her career in this medium with a strong interest in abstract and non-representational form. As she worked, she recognized that man-made, industrial materials were intrinsically compelling in terms of pure structure. This thought intrigued her and she often found herself drawn to empty construction sites where her camera could explore the varied shapes and textures that such unlikely places can offer. Inevitably, an intense interest in architecture developed, and in all of her mature work Turner has used architecture as a basic point of departure. She gradually became involved in doing complete photographic studies of buildings, not merely recording their overall exterior and interior views. In this volume, selections from the work of five leading New York architects are presented in five sections, each given to the study of a single building by these highly gifted men: Charles Gwathmey, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, Michael Grav

Language Notes\nText: Hebrew\nFrom Library Journal\nThis exquisite facsimile of the Copenhagen Haggadah is truly a treasure. The book reflects a unique blending of 18th-century Sephardic (Spanish) and Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish culture, tradition, and folk art. The original parchment manuscript was hand written and illustrated by Philip Isac Levy. The magnificent color illustrations emphasize major themes of the Passover story and seder while reflecting the common European decorative motif of the period. The artist's own style is evident through his choice of landscapes, colors, and subjects. The Hebrew text, printed in Ashkenazi lettering with vowels, is accompanied by Hebrew and Ladino commentaries. Suitable for specialized art and Judaica collections. Highly recommended. Ann E. Cohen, Broome Cty. P.L., Binghamton, N.Y.

The National Railway Museum in York has a large and varied collection of railway art and artefacts; this books shows over 200 of the best posters dating from the railways' heyday prior to nationalization. In this period, renowned poster artists of the calibre of Edward McKnight Kauffer, Tom Purvis and Cassandre were commissioned by the railway groups to promote not only their lines but also the most beautiful and appealing cities and towns in their areas for tourists to visit. The railway companies virtually invented the "package tour", and promoted it intensively not only in the UK but also in the USA. The introduction explains the history of the companies during the period covered, and examines their attitudes to poster advertising. The book is then divided into four sections, one for each of the railway groups: the resulting selection makes an analysis of poster art in the UK in its "golden age" of the Twenties and Thirties. Extended captions explain the context of the works, and information about the artists is provided. The authors are on the curatorial staff of the National Railway Museum, York.
