"London : Stanley/Barker, 2022. Quarto, 310 x 310 mm, gilt-lettered papered boards in illustrated dustjacket, all edges gilt, pp. 52, illustrated with Henson's exquisite photographs from his 1992 series staged at the opera houses of Paris. New copy. In the early 1990?s Bill Henson was commissioned by the Paris Opera to produce a series of works that were to bring the emotional effect of music into visual form. For the first time, all 50 images from the series are brought together as a delicately printed outsized monograph. ?Paris Opera is a development for Henson both in his use of colour and in the way he presents human faces in interplay through convention, the framing device, of the face intent on music: whether in appreciation or indifference, or with an inscrutable self-possession. Watching faces, lit from below, sit in half-light suggests that the only illumination comes from the stage and what these faces suggest is always a revelation of some inwardness before the other event: the musical drama unfolding in front of their eyes. The drama of portraiture in response is instead intensely dramatic and Henson has done wonders to make his camera suggest the gradations and modulations of a painterly apprehension. It is drama full of shadow and chiaroscuro, of Rembrandtian depths of brown and gold and blackest green. " Henson is never afraid to suggest some portent just out of reach. Indeed, it plays on the possibility like a piano; that is one reason why the simulacrum of high art is so manifest in these most painterly of Henson?s pictures. They are in one-way photographic representations of the nature and effect of art, their occasion is how a face may look as it listens, but they are in a fuller sense, attempts to instantiate the idea of art, that is to say the idea of the experience of art, without any recourse to the literary or intertextual obviousness. " As with all of Henson?s work there is a sense of drama, a manifest subject - here are the people formally dressed to sit and listen but beyond this naturalising of a complex and allusive assignment this Henson series is an encapsulated history of how the face may be seen when it looks away into something other. "It would be tiresome and intrusive to read each of these photographs as if they disclosed a history when it is partly their ability to exhaust any number of histories which gives them their power, which endows their painterly literalism of hue and ?texture?; it is their apparent belief in the power of the eye to highlight psychology and moral significance which makes us believe in their status and origin as photographs. "Perhaps the most definitive of all these images is of a man in his 60s to the left of the frame with a young son, in late pre-puberty. I have heard the image described as everything from an embodiment of the world of the Godfather films to a symbolic portrait of the great Australian novelist Patrick White. Perhaps it is all of these things. The man in three-quarter profile and in full evening dress, listens to what might be the overture of The Magic Flute for what might be the ten thousandth time. The intimations of sexual and general enchantment, the mighty cord betokening the mystery of what things mean, none of this tells him anything new. The face is consummate with knowledge, it is not only the face of anything our civilisation may have to teach, it is also the face of someone who has experienced the point of that knowledge, a face however civilised, which is in part depraved by the experience art reflects and gives shape to. This is a face so ripe it knows it will die. But the boy, the boy is off elsewhere, Papageno?s flute is calling, the music of Sarastro is the music of God?s goodness not the dread of his power. The boy sniffs the air. His life is all before him. "Only art of great value can be talked about in this way, as if its executive means were the merest footnote to its content and significance." - Peter Craven, Extract from Paris Opera ?What is that face, breaking our hearts, but a momentary configuration of molecules taking form and changing form and losing form, as night falls? - Peter Schjeldahl ".

Melbourne : Thames & Hudson in association with the Monash Gallery of Art, 2019. Quarto, lettered cloth, illustrated dustjacket, pp. 166, extensively illustrated. The deluxe edition, signed by Bill Henson on the half-title, housed in a lettered cloth slipcase. While not stated in the book, personal correspondence with the publisher indicates a print run of 650 copies of the slipcased edition, signed by Henson. As new copy. (A standard edition, unsigned, without slipcase, was also issued, of which 1700 copies were printed). "Over thirty years have passed since Bill Henson made his iconic Untitled 1985/86 series. These mesmerising photographs cast a hazy procession of people and places from Melbourne's suburb of Glen Waverley, interspersed with dreamlike vignettes of Egyptian structures.Now, commissioned by Monash Gallery of Art, Henson has revisited his home suburb to create new work. While these photographs return to Glen Waverley, they show an environment that appears to have slipped out of linear time. Henson's new images are sumptuous and resplendent in their grandeur, offering a view of what is 'just down the street', but seem to come from another age. Together, the two series provide a glimpse into Henson's brilliant mind as he ponders the passing of time.The Light Fades but the Gods Remain, accompanied by an exhibition of both series of work at Monash Gallery of Art, celebrates an extraordinary artist at two stages in his career. The publication includes extracts by various authors who have had an impact on Henson, as well as text by Monash Gallery of Art Senior Curator Pippa Milne." - the publisher.

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Fotografie a colori di Bill Henson Designer: Daniel Markides. Stampa Ofset: Yapimevi, ZIstanbul. Cm 31x31. pp. 52. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . All'inizio degli anni '90 Bill Henson fu incaricato dall'Opera di Parigi di produrre una serie di fotografie che dovevano rendere l'effetto emotivo della musica in forma visiva. Per la prima volta, tutte le 50 immagini della serie sono riunite in una monografia delicatamente stampata in grande formato. "Paris Opera rappresenta un'evoluzione per Henson sia nell'uso del colore sia nel modo in cui presenta i volti umani intenti a guardare la musica: con apprezzamento o indifferenza, o con un'imperscrutabile autopossesso. Guardare i volti, illuminati dal basso, seduti in penombra suggerisce che l'unica illuminazione proviene dal palcoscenico e ciò che questi volti suggeriscono è sempre una rivelazione di una certa interiorità prima dell'altro evento: il dramma musicale che si svolge davanti ai loro occhi. Il dramma del ritratto in risposta è invece intensamente drammatico e Henson ha fatto miracoli per far sì che la sua macchina da presa suggerisse le gradazioni e le modulazioni di un'apprensione pittorica. È un dramma pieno di ombre e chiaroscuri, di profondità rembrandtiane di marrone e oro e del verde più nero.". Book.

Melbourne : Scanlan Theodore, 2016. Quarto, lettered cloth, pp. 32, foreword by John Tatoulis, essay by Peter Craven, photographic plates by Bill Henson. Printed in a limited edition of 300 copies. 'ONEIROI sets out to inspire discussion about what it means to be custodians of an ancient past and captures the way in which our history, culture and art shape the way in which we make sense of our own world.ONEIROI was the first major art commission by the Hellenic Museum and is sets out to inspire dialogue between the aesthetics of the ancient past and today.ONEIROI, is a unique collaboration between the Hellenic Museum, Benaki Museum, Athens and artist, Bill Henson. It is housed permanently at the Hellenic Museum. The contemporary works in Oneiroi incorporate five historical objects from the Benaki Museum collection, on display in the exhibition Gods, Myths & Mortals; including a 3500-year-old gold cup, an Ottoman period necklace and the knife which once belonged to a revolutionary leader. The objects reflect the rich and varied nature of Greek history and the ways in which Greece has evolved through the ages. ?Despite spanning millennia, the Benaki treasures included within each of the portraits still appear breathtakingly modern. They are unique pieces individually created by artists and craftspeople whose aesthetics and skill are testament to a cultures dedication to design innovation. ?Henson?s technical and aesthetic approach to his work, his structure, composition and his use of light and shadow add an ethereal quality to the works. His invocation of the Oneiroi, the spirts of dreams, as elusive as the shadows of memory which make up the past, transform the objects from static artefacts, to objects alive with purpose. - Hellenic Museum.
