Photobook-Édouard Boubat-A Gentle Eye Hardback Pages: 368 Size: 29.5 x 31.5 cm Published: 2004 Publisher: Thames & Hudson Stock number: RG1651/0124 Price: £225 + P&P In a career that spanned more than fifty years, photographer Edouard Boubat (1923-1999) captured the magic of fleeting moments with tenderness and warmth. A contemporary of Robert Doisneau and one of the most influential French photographers of the 20th century, Boubat made elegant, poetic pictures, beginning with images of everyday life in his native city of Paris and moving on to striking pictures taken on his travels to Kenya, India, Spain, Portugal, Brazil and China. His photographs were the subject of a major exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou in 1976, the same year he published the first major book on his work. Now, five years after his death, this luxurious volume presents the entire range of Boubat's work in 300 beautiful tritone reproductions. All of his most famous photographs are here - including those of his muse, Lella - along with texts on the artist by writers Michel Tournier, Jacques Prevert and Marguerite Duras, and Boubat's own writings and notebook excerpts. Developed in close collaboration with Boubat's son, Bernard, this authoritative collection is the only existing monograph on this enduringly popular, but until now strangely unsung, photographer. The photobook is in good condition but the dust jacket shows some wear and plastic covering is starting to peel in the bottom right of the front cover.

Photobook-Joel Meyerowitz-Aftermath, World Trade Center Archive Hardback Pages: 350 Size: 29.2 x 39.4 cm Published: 2006 Publisher: Phaidon Press Stock number: RG2093/0124 Price: £35 + P&P After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th 2001, the world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt compelled to visit the site, to document and record the aftermath of the largest ever attack on US soil. Although initially turned away by police (on the grounds that the site was a crime scene and could not be photographed), Meyerowitz was determined to gain access to the area. Within days he had established strong links with many of the firefighters, policemen and construction workers contributing to the clean up. With their assistance he became the only photographer to be granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero. Once there he systematically began to document the wreckage followed by the necessary demolition, excavation and removal of tens of thousands of tonnes of debris that would transform the site from one of total devastation to level ground. Soon after the Museum of the City of New York officially engaged Meyerowitz to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero and the immediate neighborhood. The 9/11 Photographic Archive numbers in excess of 5,000 images and will become part of the permanent collections of the Museum of the City of New York. In good condition and still with its original plastic covering. Small bang on base of spine.

Photobook-Michael Kenna-Japan: A Love Story (Signed) Hardback Pages: 134 Size: 33 x 25.4 cm Published: 2024 Publisher: NAZRAELI Stock number: RG2298/GNO1 Price: £70 + P&P Published to coincide with a major 2024 traveling exhibition in Tokyo, Los Angeles and London, this gorgeous new monograph presents 100 of Michael Kenna’s most iconic photographs of the Japanese landscape, many published here for the first time. A perfect pairing of artist and subject, these photographs of Japan comprise perhaps Kenna’s best known body of work and have been the subject of countless exhibitions throughout the world. Michael Kenna first visited Japan in 1987 on the event of his inaugural exhibition there, and he has returned dozens of time and made thousands of photographs throughout the country’s vast and incredibly varied landscape. Our earlier monographs Japan and Hokkaido have been out of print for many years, so we are thrilled to announce this important new publication that includes work spanning Kenna’s decades-long love affair with the country. Japan / A Love Story is beautifully printed in duotone on natural coated art paper and quarter bound in linen and silk. It opens with an essay in Japanese and English by the renowned critic and historian Kohtaro Iizawa. “For Michael Kenna’s 2003 publication, Japan, I contributed an essay suggesting that his photographs could be read as visual haikus. Looking at the work in this new book, perhaps the definitive collection of Kenna’s Japan photographs, I feel that these same components are still there. And yet, on viewing his work afresh, I realize that while he does incorporate a Japanese sense of beauty and perspective, he has now fused his own Western aesthetic with a new Eastern sensibility, awakened by his visual experiences in Japan.” — From the Introduction by Kohtaro Iizawa “Japan has a long and rich tradition of reciprocal gift giving. I have been the grateful recipient of so much over so many years in Japan, and I know that I will never be able to give back in equal measure. I hope this work can be seen as a small token of my desire to do so. I also hope this work can be viewed as a homage to Japan and that it will serve to symbolize my immense ongoing appreciation and deep gratitude for this beautiful and mysterious country.” — From the Afterword by Michael Kenna
