Bert Stern, the famous commercial and fashion photographer of the 60s, was the last to be granted a sitting by Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her tragic death. The three-day session yielded nearly 2,600 pictures--fashion, portrait, and nude studies--of indescribable sensual and human vibrancy, of which no more than 20 were published. And yet these few photographs ineradicably shaped our image of Marilyn Monroe. This book presents the complete set of 2,571 photos. The monumental body of work by the master photographer and the Hollywood actress marks a climax in the history of star photography, both in quantity and quality. It is a unique affirmation of the erotic dimension of photography and the eroticism of taking photos, and it is the world's finest and largest tribute to Marilyn Monroe.

Jean-Baptiste Mondino is one of the most influential imag-makers of our times and among professional photographers the cult figure of young art directors and designers. The world of images we live in is largely pervaded by Mondino’s photographs and video clips. His photographic and video works have created a furore worldwide, they have set the trend. First published in 1999 this book introduced the 54-year-old photographer-cum-artdirector from Paris to the limelight, where he had previously put the greatest stars in the rock and pop world. Mondino’s creative genius presents Brian Ferry, Sting, David Bowie, Boy George, Madonna, Prince, Vanessa Paradis and many more. They entrust their image to his artistry of the hightest caliber, to his unrivalled combination of outstanding qualities: technical perfection matched by aesthetic inventiveness, scintillating creativity, courage in the pursuit of constant innovation, and high sensivity for zeitgeist.

After his bestselling book Déja vu, Jean-Baptiste Mondino presents his equally mesmerizing sequel Two Much. His photographs, digitally processed pictures, and video clips radically changed the commercial strategies of the rock, pop and fashion industry and made him the image guru of the young generation. Presenting Mondino‘s creative output of the past five years, Two Much bears striking witness to the delight he takes in playing with zeitgeist expressions and to his boundless ingenuity. Technically brilliant, with an equally rich and scin-tillating mix of black humor, glamour, and bizarre erotic visions, Two Much is an essential source of inspiration for all those who by profession or by passion deal with photography, advertising, and life style.

Deep in the magical semi-darkness of forests and jungles, through the impenetrable yet bright green of the trees, tangled up in tropical plants, rampant jungle vegetation, and mossy brooks, lies paradise. At least it does in Thomas Struth's New Pictures from Paradise, in which each oversize image is a mesmerizing but photographically distant haven unto itself. From Daintree, Australia to Yunnan Province, China, from the mossy valleys of Yakushima, Japan to the looming pine forests of Bavaria, Germany and the lush rainforests of Brazil, Thomas Struth has carried out his photographic expeditions. Capturing settings of so-called untamed nature, his astonishingly detailed images carry with them thoughts of environmental exploitation, the mystification of nature, and the possibility of nature as utopia. Exhibited in monumental print sizes of up to 2.70 x 3.40 m, Struth's pictures are here presented in an appropriately large-scale format, accompanied by individual essays from psychologist Ingo Hartmann and art historian Hans Rudolph Reust, each of whom shines their own particular light into Struth's dense forests and jungles.

Pictures from the Surface of the Earth

Globetrotting filmmaker Wim Wenders always takes his old panorama camera with him, using it whenever the sheer wealth of what he sees and the impression it leaves on him breaks the normal scale of things. Infinite landscapes, endless horizons, deserts, and mountain ranges overwhelm by their emptiness and silence, street fronts in Havana, Houston, Berlin, or Jerusalem offer deep insights into the shallows of civilization. Wenders' photographs are pictures of a world almost devoid of humans, a natural or man-made world viewed from a distance. They shed light on the many guises the surface of the earth dons and attest to Wenders' contemplative and amazed gaze. This gaze, of course, didn't stop at September 11 and delivered haunting photos of Ground Zero taken shortly after the attack. With poetic comments by the artist on all the pictures, the book is both a portrait of the world as encountered by the photographer and a portrait of the photographer as reflected in his vision of the world.
