Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Jeff Brouws has crisscrossed the country for two decades, documenting an America that is at once quintessential and peculiar. Readymades is a quirky, multi-layered catalog of this ascendant photographer's work: partially painted pickup trucks, bowling alley signs, vibrant-hued houses that defy the monotony of the suburbs, abandoned drive-in movie theaters. Brouws treats his subjects as readymade art found in the landscape, brought together to create an idiosyncratic roadside panorama. Provocative essays by leading writers and cultural commentators such as Luc Sante, DJ Waldie, M. Mark, Diana Gaston, Bruce Caron, and Phil Patton are juxtaposed with these images of all that is unique in the uniform, and striking in the mundane. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Presents "Abelardo Morell And The Camera Eye". The first in-depth treatment of the artist's work: Indelible images of vitality and morbidity, photography's closely intertwined subjects. "Abelardo Morell has earned international praise for his images that use the language of photography to explore visual surprise and wonder. Born in Havana, Morell came to the United States as a teenager in 1962 and later studied photography, earning an MFA from Yale University. He gained attention for intimate black-and-white pictures of domestic objects from a child's point-of-view, inspired by the birth of his son in 1986; images in which he turns a room into a giant camera obscura, projecting exterior views onto interior spaces; and photographs of books that revel in their sensory materiality. He has turned to color, exploring the camera obscura with a painterly delight and innovating a tent camera that projects outdoor scenes onto a textured ground. Morell has approached photography with remarkable wit and creativity, examining everyday objects with childlike curiosity" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Abelardo Morell collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

For Rittermann, the strange appearance of the world at night was his first, most intensive photographic endeavor. Learning how the camera reacts to light reflected off of snow, metal, concrete, and heavy cloud cover, he explored stark industrial settings, city squares, deserted streets, and the faint glow of farmhouses." - Publisher.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Dozens of books have been written on Chaco Canyon, a 34, -acre National Historical Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in northwestern New Mexico. Scholars continue to debate the nature of the various Ancestral Puebloans that inhabited the area c. 85 25 CE, what it was used for, and what caused it to be abandoned. Renowned visual artist Judy Tuwaletstiwa visited Chaco in 984 while on a trip through the desert canyons of the Southwest. Over the next several years, she created artworks based on her deeply personal, experiential reactions to this ancient and mysterious archaeological site that remains sacred to contemporary Pueblo people. Throughout the book are Tuwaletstiwa s own words lyrical, deeply philosophical, and poetic that unify the material into a uniquely provocative and beautiful work of art. Diana Gaston s essay provides context on Tuwaletstiwa s process and inspiration while Philip Tuwaletstiwa provides the archaeological and anthropological background of the place and what is known about its original inhabitants. Of special interest are the astronomical alignments of the built environment and roadways that were designed with religious, mystical, and divine significance to his ancestors from the area.
