Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This is the second in a series of annual publications published by Steidl celebrating the winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award, Canada's largest contemporary photography award for an established Canadian artist. Scotiabank is a leader among Canadian corporations and is recognized internationally for its charitable donations and philanthropic activities. The award was established by photographer Edward Burtynsky and Jane Nokes of Scotiabank. Arnaud Maggs demonstrates the range of this year's winner's oeuvre with seventeen series including Joseph Beuys, 100 Profile Views (1980); Kunstakademie (1980); Andre Kertesz, 144 Views (1980); Hotel (1991); Repertoire (1997); Contamination (2007); The Dada Portraits (2010) and his most recent series After Nadar (2012).

Arnaud Maggs brings viewers face to face with books, ephemera, and portrait studies, skilfully photographed, re-presented and gracefully shared with us as works of fine art. Since 1994, Toronto-based artist Arnaud Maggs' interest in archival practice has led him to photograph objects and books of extreme beauty, rarity and historical importance. These pristine, technically brilliant images are at the forefront of a current trend within contemporary art: the archive. At the age of 47, Maggs left behind a successful career as a commercial illustrator and fashion photographer to dedicate himself to the fine arts. His first major photographic work, 64 Portrait Studies (1976-78) featuring thirty-two anonymous models, photographed frontally and in profile from the shoulders up, arranged in a grid to a total of 64 black and white, gelatine silver photographs laid the groundwork for an artistic vision that Maggs has carried through to the present.

The catalogue for an exhibition of the photography of Arnaud Maggs, held at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto, April 17 - June 6, 1999. "In 1974, Arnaud Maggs abandoned his career as a commercial and fashion photographer to pursue becoming an artist. This thorough survey of his photography examines his achievements from his first portrait works that investigate the typology of the human head to the series based on his photographs of paper ephemera and other items he has found in French flea markets. The early portraits show the work of time on the body, while the later works, apart from any actual images of people, create an overwhelming portrait of life's traces."
