Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The infamous Hill of Crosses is a pilgrimage and tourist site near Siauliai, Lithuania, which originated after the November Uprising of 1830-31, an extensive yet unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Russian rule. Crosses is Juergen Teller's intimate response to this place of remembrance, which he visited with his Lithuanian wife Dovile Drizyte and her parents in autumn 2022. With his ever curious, surveying eye, Teller captures the intense spirituality of this sacred destination. Responding to over 100,000 crucifixes within just one acre, his images embody this tangled web of religious iconography, including a dense multitude of crosses, stone sculptures of Jesus Christ draped in rosary beads, and large wooden carvings. Teller singles out details of small effigies of Christ and other emblematic features, deftly framing them against the landscape in an act of candid self-reflection. The series takes on an even deeper personal significance in the context of the 2022 passing of fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, with whom Teller had collaborated since 2007, and his gallerist since 2013 Suzanne Tarasieve. He embeds portraits of these powerful yet vulnerable women into his collection of symbolic images, a compelling tribute to two personalities who continue to inspire his work. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Throughout his 35-year career, Juergen Teller has been renowned for his non-conformist style, defying expectations with a unique combination of seriousness and self-irony, creating authentic narratives from his insatiable curiosity for life and the endlessly surprising world around him. i need to live, accompanying Teller's major solo exhibition at the Grand Palais Éphémère, Paris, in 2023-24 and the Triennale Milano in 2024, captures the depth of his unmatched photographic achievement. Storytelling has always been integral to Teller's practice, realized through the unconventional merging of his personal experience and commercial work in a range of genres: from portraiture and landscapes, to nudes, still lifes and the ever-changing self-portrait. This book embodies Teller's interest in the unpredictable circle of life and a desire to explore his self and his familial relationships with a new poignancy-reflecting on the loss of close collaborators and friends including fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and gallerist Suzanne Tarasieve, while celebrating the arrival of his third child and the fruitful creative relationship with his wife and muse, Dovile Drizyte. 352 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The latest collaboration with his wife Dovile Drizyte, The Myth is Juergen Teller's playful interpretation of the 'legs up' fertility myth. Following the humorous 2021 series 'We are building our future together' in which the Tellers dressed up as construction workers on building sites, this project reflects the next stage of their relationship as they start a family together. The enchanting location is the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni on Lake Como where the Tellers created images in each and every of the hotel's 97 unique rooms-in some we see the whole of Drizyte's naked body, while in others her cropped legs or feet appear unexpectedly: peeking behind duvets, curtains and furniture, tender juxtapositions in Teller's loving gaze.The theatricality and ambiguity of these performed scenarios recalls Teller's seminal 2004 series 'Louis XV' shot with Charlotte Rampling at the Hôtel de Crillon, Paris. This conscious revisiting of a prior experience is firmly embedded in Teller's mythology, yet this time there is an air of serendipity. Run by the same family for four generations and shaped by tradition, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is filled with art alluding to motherhood and the family unit. Paintings and sculptures of pregnancy, babies, storks and cherubs became an unexpected good luck charm for the Tellers' future parenthood and lend their amorous beauty to these deeply personal images, embodiments of the trust and creative connection between Teller and Drizyte. 192 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Gedichtsammlungen (1956-2012)»Die Vorzüge der Windhühner« bis »Eintagsfliegen. Gelegentliche Gedichte«Die Lyrik bildet in Günter Grass' Werk eine durchgehende Konstante. Sie ist nicht nur zusammen mit Zeichnung und Bildhauerei seine früheste künstlerische Ausdrucksform, Grass hat sie auch immer wieder aufs neue gepflegt, sei es in eigenständigen Gedichtsammlungen oder eingestreut in seine Prosaveröffentlichungen. Das Gedicht ist im doppelten Wortsinne die Keimzelle seines Werkes: 'Alles, was ich bisher geschrieben habe, ist aus lyrischen Momenten entstanden, gelegentlich mit Ausweitungen bis zu 700 Seiten . Das Gedicht erscheint mir immer noch als das genaueste Instrument, mich neu kennen zu lernen und neu zu vermessen.'.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Von poetologischen Texten bis zu seinen Wahlkampfreden spannt sich der Bogen dieser Essays und Reden. Damit zeichnet er zugleich die Entwicklung nach, die Günter Grass seit 1955 genommen hat: Begriff der Bildhauerschüler und Nachwuchsdramatiker Freiheit zunächst allein als eine der Kunst, wurde ihm mehr und mehr die Unmöglichkeit einer Existenz im Elfenbeinturm bewusst. Wachsendes gesellschaftliches Engagement führte ihn deshalb mitten hinein in das politische Alltagsgeschäft. Die Absage an jegliche Heilslehre, komme sie von rechts oder von links, ließ ihn jene Position zwischen allen Stühlen einnehmen, die ihm bis heute zu eigen ist. 648 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Seit Mitte der 1960er Jahre hat Barbara Klemm das Leben in der Mainmetropole beobachtet und fotografisch dokumentiert, sie hat Geschichte geschrieben und Geschichte festgehalten - auch wenn es um bloße Zeitgenossenschaft oder ihr persönliches Umfeld ging. »Am Grund ihrer geräumigen Handtasche ist jederzeit mindestens mit ihrer kleinen Leica zu rechnen« (FAZ). Auch ihre vielen Straßen-, Stadt- und Menschenbilder aus aller Welt sind so entstanden: Wenn der Auftrag der Redaktion, der Anlass der Reise, bearbeitet war, behielt sie die Kamera in der Hand.Mit ihren Aufnahmen vom NPD-Bundestagswahlkampf im Juli 1969 wurde sie europaweit bekannt: das Bild der feisten, behelmten NPD-Ordner vor der Frankfurter Volksbühne druckte der Lokalteil der FAZ. Der Spiegel, Paris Match und Observer druckten es nach. Und die Bilder wirkten: Sie trugen dazu bei, dass die Partei an der Fünfprozenthürde scheiterte.Klemms Bilder der Frankfurter Studentenbewegung, von Adorno und Horkheimer, erlangten ebenfalls rasch nationale und internationale Bedeutung. Anders als ihre Redaktionskollegen, die unter ständigem Zeitdruck standen, interessierte sich Barbara Klemm für die Anliegen der Studierenden, blieb oft länger bei den Veranstaltungen und Debatten, erhielt so einen anderen Zugang.Barbara Klemm ist eine Bildjournalistin mit dem untrüglichen Sensorium für den richtigen Augenblick. Und sie ist persönlich und fotografisch eng mit Frankfurt verbunden. Dieser Verbindung widmet sich ihr neues Buch. 264 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Beginning in 1972, Richard Serra has made over 320 print editions at the Los Angeles artists' workshop and fine-art publisher Gemini G.E.L.-more than any other artist. Gemini co-founder Sidney B. Felsen has had the good fortune and privilege of witnessing the birth of each and every of these editions, camera in hand. Early on, Felsen realized there was an intrusive element to photographing someone engaged in the private, meditative moments of making art, and his ally became the close friendships with artists he developed throughout the decades, along with his subtle manner: 'Taking photographs,' says Serra, 'is Sidney's way of watching over not watching us.' Although sculpture is the most public aspect of Serra's practice, drawing and printmaking play crucial roles, both as independent pieces and in working towards sculpture. Richard Serra at Gemini presents a selection from nearly 3,000 photos by Felsen, revealing ways in which Serra has remade the conventions of printmaking, and celebrating 50 years of ongoing friendship and collaboration. 104 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Over the past five decades Nancy Rubins has transformed everyday objects into dynamic, otherworldly assemblages in a multitude of scales, dimensions and mediums. Fluid Force presents a comprehensive survey of Rubins' gravity-defying practice and invites us to linger on her investigations of materiality-from early explorations of wood and clay to two-dimensional photo-collages, graphite sculptural drawings, and complex sculptures comprising found domestic objects (from televisions to toasters and hair dryers) and large salvaged objects such as boats, mattresses and airplane parts. Rubins' fascination with form and matter is unmistakable as she explores and challenges preconceived notions of what sculpture and drawing could and can be. With over 90 photographs and new texts by Phong H. Bui, Eric Shiner and Yayoi Shionoiri, Fluid Force is a much-needed publication that celebrates Rubins' extensive career and her brilliance in uniting the worlds of art and engineering-a reminder that what appears solid and static is in fact in a constant state of change. 136 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book celebrates Juergen Teller's long-term collaboration with creative director Dennis Freedman for W magazine and later for luxury department store Barneys in New York. Between 1999 and 2016 the pair created a sweep of iconic series, all captured in Teller's trademark realistic style. In his photographs for W, Teller consistently went against the grain, resisting large-budget shoots and seeking out authentic, anti-commercial narratives and pared-down locations-as in his unforgettable first editorial in 1999 which features Stephanie Seymour, Shalom Harlow and Naomi Campbell (among other supermodels) as office workers at the magazine. Seen as a whole, Teller's W commissions reveal the evolution of his creative freedom, from shooting Haute Couture clients, Kate Moss at the Monaco Grand Prix and Tilda Swinton as a socialite collector, to portraits of William Eggleston and Roni Horn.Teller and Freedman's work for Barneys catalogues between 2011 and 2016 epitomizes their risk-taking approach in unusual fashion locations such as Belgrade, Panama City and Tirana. The resulting images show playful juxtapositions and unexpected scenarios, as models and actors explore their environments in comic poses, producing a kind of non-conformist advertising. Throughout Fashion Photography for America 1999-2016 Teller has photographed original W magazines and Barneys catalogues from his archives, a low-fi method that emphasizes the physical process of looking over his past work and allows us to share in the surprises of his retrospection. 256 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Ken Narula started collecting all things Leica at the turn of the century. What initially began as Narula's passion has since transformed into an extensive collection, as his appreciation of the camera company's craftsmanship and iconic, compact design-together with his fascination for photography-grew. In his photographic works Narula uses the camera to capture the moment in unscripted life situations and the lens to demonstrate great rapport towards those present: from melancholic daydreaming to the deepest feeling of nostalgia.Divided into two volumes, Iris & Lens thematically reflects Narula's distinctive role as both photographer and collector. The first volume 'Iris' offers a series of photographs he made between 2017 and 2022. The 50 black-and-white images were all taken with Narula's array of Leica cameras and lenses, which he presents in the second volume 'Lens.' From his broad collection, which spans 100 years of Leica's technical history, Narula presents a minimalistic, up-close look at 50 lenses which he uses primarily for his own work, and highlights the lenses' unique characteristics. With this careful juxtaposition of object and subject, Narula invites us to engage with the interplay between the iris of the human eye and the technically near-perfect lens. 120 pp. Englisch.

As before, Teller's advertising campaigns for distinguished brands such as Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Loewe, Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood are shown with images of handbags deftly styled for fashion editorials-all worn by celebrities and models or photographed as still-life objects.

This time around, More Handbags has the compact size of a handbag itself, making it more accessible and tactile-and aptly more affordable for all of us who might not be able to buy the real thing. 232 pp. Englisch.
