Paperback. Condition: Fine. 1st. 143 pages, illustrations; 20 cm. In Focus Series. Tight, clean copy. *** "The long life of German photographer August Sander (1876-1964) spanned one of the most turbulent eras in his country's history. The Great War of 1914-1918, the Weimar Republic, the reign of National Socialism, and the horro…rs of World War II all left an indelible imprint on both the man and his work. Sander, a conventional studio portraitist who transformed himself into an avant-gardist, exemplified the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of his time. He was at once innovative and deeply wedded to the past, blending a progressive vision with a traditional view of society and his craft. The approximately fifty plates featured in In Focus: August Sander are some of the most striking from the Getty Museum's more than twelve hundred pictures by the artist. They include images of rural dwellers such as those found in Young Farmers and Farm Girls, and other portraits including Wife of the Cologne Painter Peter Abelen, Parliamentarianand the poignant Blind Children, D|ren. A chronological overview of Sander's life provides a factual framework for this discussion." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible.

Hardback. Condition: New. During their 40-year career, Bernd and Hilla Becher created their own architectural typology as they photographed buildings in a unique style. 'Basic Forms' represents the culmination of their career. Although the subject matter is unglamorous-mine shafts, blast furnaces, cooling towers, water towers, s…ilos, and gas tanks-the Bechers' passion for their work imbues these photographs with beauty and solemnity. The Bechers restricted the conditions of each photograph-taking them early in the morning, on overcast days, so as to eliminate shadow and distribute light evenly. Each image is centered and frontally framed, its parallel lines set on an even plane. There are no human figures, nor are there birds in the sky. The result is a treasury of precisely functional architectural forms, a sublime example of conceptual artistic practices, and a series of "perfect sculptures of a bygone industrial age.".

Condition: Good. 10.8 x 9.8 in., Hardcover, 256 pages, 108 illustrations New condition.FURTHERMORE is a major new book published to mark Fraenkel Gallery's thirtieth year. With ninety-nine photographs by artists as wide-ranging as Diane Arbus, Andy Warhol, Robert Adams, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Sol LeWitt, Lee Friedlander, Hiroshi…Sugimoto, and Irving Penn, FURTHERMORE is an eye-opening expedition through the history of the medium. In the tradition of Fraenkel Gallery's award-winning and sought-after anniversary publications from years past, FURTHERMORE also includes a trove of images by Photographers Unknown, all of which, according to the book's introduction by Jeffrey Fraenkel, "fall squarely into the 'we know them when we see them' category." Designed by Katy Homans, and printed with extraordinary fidelity by Meridian Printing, FURTHERMORE is a meditation on the inexplicable essence of the medium, and an essential new publication for anyone who cares seriously about art and photography.Among the most remarkable photographs to be included in FURTHERMORE is Morton Schamberg's 1918 Dada masterpiece, "God." Believed to be the only print in existence, "God" is a study of a cast iron plumbing fixture mounted to a wooden base. Regarded as a sister piece to Marcel Duchamp's infamous "Fountain" (a readymade of an upended urinal) from the same year, there is uncertainty about who first conceived of transforming plumbing into art. Schamberg died suddenly during the 1918 Philadelphia influenza epidemic, age 38.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. Another volume in the Bechers' lifelong project of documenting the architecture of industrial structures. Bernd and Hilla Becher's photography can be considered conceptual art, typological study, and topological docume…ntation. Their work can be linked to the Neue Sachlichkeit movement of the 1920s and to such masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, August Sander, and Albert Renger-Patzsch. Their photographs documenting the architecture of industrial structures, taken over the course of forty years, make up the most important body of work to be found in independent objective photography. This volume adds cooling towers to a list of photographic projects that includes book-length studies of water towers, blast furnaces, gas tanks, mineheads, and frame houses.Since the end of the nineteenth century, cooling towers have formed a striking part of electricity and steel works. The first cooling towers were wood-clad structures at coal mines; more recent examples are the steel or concrete constructions seen at nuclear power stations. The simplicity of these forms and their hermetically sealed external skins create an impressive, monumental effect. The Bechers have been photographing cooling towers since the 1960s. This volume contains 236 photographs of cooling towers?in all their different shapes and structural forms?from Belgium, England, France, Germany, Holland, and the United States, and includes a short text by the Bechers.
