                                                        This is Bourke-White\u2019s first and most significant book, produced when she was only twenty-five years old. She both wrote the text and provided the images, primarily of male and female workers and the dynamic architecture of Soviet industry. Bourke-White stated, \u201cThings are happening in Russia, and happening with staggering speed. I could not afford to miss any of it. I wanted to make the pictures of this astonishing development, because, whatever the outcome, whether success or failure, the plan is so gigantic, so unprecedented in all history, that I felt that these photographic records might have some historical value. I saw the five-year plan as a great scenic drama being unrolled before the eyes of the world.\u201d Two pages stained from laid in newsprint article titled \u201cRussians See Hope in a Change of Policy.\u201d This copy is inscribed to an individual, \u201cin remembrance of one of my [illegible] photographing days in the open iron mines.\u201d This probably refers to Bourke-White\u2019s 1936 visit to the Mesabi Iron Range in northern Minnesota. Pasted onto a preliminary blank page is a portrait of the photographer, cut from the original dustjacket (and all that remains of it). Front hinge separating, covers lightly browned, with faint ring mark. $2,500<\/p>\n

Clark declares the book an autobiography and includes childhood and youthful images of himself, such as with his parents and musician Jimmy Reed, and as an adult, doing drugs and other misadventures. He owns up to his criminal activities by including newspaper clippings and a police report. The book ends with a long, rambling autobiographical text by the photographer.

He commences the book with a few pages of just the water itself, violently encountering shore rocks. Then, he essays the female form, primarily the torso and breasts, but also buttocks, arms, and back. While they are usually recognizable, some images border on the abstract, somewhat akin to Bill Brandt\u2019s nudes. The book closes with images that represent the calm after the storm; shimmering quite water on the sand and shore. It is a dramatic presentation, lacking any text except for basic publishing information (apparently he felt his images were above words), richly printed in gravure (with extraordinarily dark blacks), with all of the images bleeding off at least two edges of the page. Lucien Clergue (French, born 1934) is best known for his voluptuous female nudes in water, in both black-and-white and color, but also photographed bullfights, landscapes, and Marseille, France. For many years he taught at both the New School for Social Research in New York and the University of Provence in France. He also served as a cinematographer on many short films and a feature-length one on Pablo Picasso. In 1970, he founded the Recontres Internationales de al Photographie in Arles. This copy is boldly signed by Clergue on the title page. Near fine condition, in dustjacket with a few spots and wrinkles, and missing the top \u00bc-inch of the spine. $150<\/p>\n

Includes many of his now classic self-portraits, like the one where his shadow falls on the back of a woman, implying stalking, and his hair is rendered spikey by the subject\u2019s fur collar. In his brief introduction, Friedlander claims that he did not make the pictures as a project, instead finding them among his other work. \u201cThey began as straight portraits but soon I was finding myself at times in the landscape of my photography. I might call myself an intruder.\u201d A modestly sized book that packed great influence. This copy signed by Friedlander.

He begins with the alphabet, moves on to numbers, then words, sayings, and sentences. With the keen eye of a witty street walker, he both isolates and compounds examples of found language, reveling in missing elements, misspellings, and other unique findings.

Visual overtones function in much the same way; the enhanced impression experienced by the viewer is a result of the two images that produce it.\u201d Among those contributing texts that accompany the diptychs are Miles Barth, A. D. Coleman, Eric Fischl, and Weston Naef. Laid in is the original shrink wrap with a handwritten Post-It note from Gibson, and accompanied by the original mailing envelope from Gibson.

Her straightforward pictures essay the landscape, wildlife, livestock, farms, and peoples of the region.

It begins with a photographic prologue that sets the theme: the solitude of the individual. Photographs of lovers pursue the theme, suggesting that even this relationship may not be enough to alter the essential loneliness of the soul. A series of photographs taken in Korea shows the frustration, hardship, and ennui of Army life. A group of Negro portraits and another group exploring the bewilderments of youth, further reveal the undeniable and haunting aspects of alienation. In seeking to probe the meaning of the world around him and his relation to it, Dave Heath has transmuted into photographic images his intense feeling and concern for the world. He concurs with W. B. Yeats\u2019s assertion that creative expression is the social act of the solitary man.\u201d A groundbreaking and influential book in American photography.

Advertising and pornography are neither condemned nor revered, but recognized as significant.\u201d Includes a statement by the artist, an extensive bibliography, plus other back matter.

He used Hershey\u2019s Chocolate Syrup to simulate blood, as its viscosity and color (in black and white) was a good match. Some of the images are grizzly, with the victims seemingly stabbed, bound, or gagged. In every case the murderer left behind a stack of pancakes, as his mysterious calling card. Perhaps the most memorable image appears on the cover of the box, showing a body on a bathroom floor, her underwear soaking in the sink, and the word \u201cwheats\u201d spelled out in \u201cblood\u201d next to her.

It includes bilingual text (in English and Chinese) on his importance and working methods, plus reproductions of hundreds of medals and trophies he won. The photographic illustrations feature primarily urban scenes, figure studies, and high-contrast pictures. Most striking, however, are his nudes, which he places in fabricated studio settings of over-sized objects and fantasy-laden backdrops. Wellington Lee (1918-2001) operated a portrait studio in New York\u2019s Chinatown during the 1950s to 1970s. As a pictorialist he was the world\u2019s all-time most exhibited photographer, beginning in the 1940s and continuing for decades longer than his compatriots. This copy signed by Lee.

He proceeded to befriend many inmates and captured them working in fields, eating, showering, and being strip searched. The final section features the compassionate letters and drawing of Billy McCune, inmate #122054. This copy boldly signed by Lyon on the title page.

Insightful images of Lithuania, grouped: \u201cVillage Markets,\u201d \u201cSummer,\u201d \u201cThe Veterinary Clinic,\u201d and \u201cParades.\u201d Includes perhaps his most recognizable image of a donkey being strapped to a wall for treatment at the vet clinic. With the photographer\u2019s own 1990 commentary, written shortly before the small Baltic state declared its independence from Russia. I can\u2019t pronounce his name either, but Aleksandras Macijauskas (1915-2004) is Lithuania\u2019s most well-known contemporary photographer, working primarily on the street. He was a founding member of his country\u2019s Photographic Art Society under Soviet rule. In 1972, he was invited to exhibit at the Arles Festival in France, initiating a number of successful solo shows in Europe and the U.S. Laid in is an announcement for the book, on the back of which Macijauskas has written his name and address and a card reproducing one of his images inscribed and dated 1992 by him, both in a mailed envelope from him in Lithuania. This is the only book on the photographer, with great ephemera. Fine condition, in opened shrink wrap. $125<\/p>\n

Both her photographs and her subjects, human and inanimate (like Art Deco vases), are steeped in pure beauty. Preface by Mark Strand.

The photographer introduces the book by stating that Cavafy \u201cwas a man of great feeling and even greater courage. His poetry was his life. And because he was a man who loved other men, he demonstrated his courage by making public these private passions.\u201d The photographs generally show pairs of men in domestic rooms, and end with a self-portrait with his camera and a younger man.

The subjects (almost exclusively white) proudly pose with their houses, cars, TVs, and other domestic possessions. Owens smartly allowed them to make their own comments, such as the couple who are grilling in the book\u2019s first picture: \u201cSunday afternoon we get it together. I cook the steaks and my wife makes the salad.\u201d This is an amusing and haunting publication. This copy signed and dated 1978 by Owens.

His pictures, often showing a sense of geometry, picture the school\u2019s exterior, classrooms, hallways, blackboards, cafeteria, theater, gymnasium, and maintenance areas. Curator Laurel Bradley provides a short essay, and there is a small group of color images made after the Weitz Center for Creativity opened. Work by John Schott (born 1944) was included in the important 1975 exhibition \u201cThe New Topographics,\u201d and he is about to retire as a professor of history and theory from Carleton.

It covers his five major bodies of work to date, from the mid- 1980s to about 2005: Factories, Offices, Nuclear Weapons, Meetings, and Security. Shambroom shoots in a straightforward manner, producing images such as the one on the cover of a man in a yellow Hazmat suit posed among seemingly healthy trees but looking as if he should be on a planetary wasteland. Includes an interview with the photographer and essays by five scholars, among them Weisman curator Diane Mullin. Shambroom (born 1956) is the senior professor of photography at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. This copy signed by Shambroom. Fine condition, in opened shrink wrap. $50<\/p>\n

Covers Siskind\u2019s life and photographs, decade by decade, beginning in the 1930s. In addition to largely photographing abstract surfaces such as walls and torn billboards, he worked in Harlem in the 1930s and shot divers in mid-air in the 1950s (calling that series \u201cPleasures and Terrors of Levitation\u201d).

With essays by Minnesota author Patricia Hampl and Texas curator Anne W. Tucker. A handsome book that has been reprinted twice (with different covers and the second edition mistakenly indicating it\u2019s a first). One of the best-known images pictures a man in a flight suit holding two model airplanes; it also appeared on the cover of the book\u2019s second edition and the poster for the 2004 Whitney Biennial.

Morrison, they are, in fact, by Alec Soth. He took these Eggleston-like, banal color images inside and in the vicinity of the House of Coates, a suburban Twin-Cities bar, restaurant, and motel. Minnesota writer Brad Zellar provides a fictional account of Lester\u2019s activities. \u201cYou know Lester as a man and a boy you refused to see or acknowledge. There are, from the time of childhood, Lesters all around you and, try as they might, they never entirely disappear as adults, even if you still persist in not seeing them.\u201d First edition of one thousand copies, this one signed by both Zellar and Soth. Laid in is a press release for a book signing at a St. Paul resident hotel, along with a registration card additionally signed by the two. Near fine condition. $100<\/p>\n

With wit and discovery he surveys both the mundane and the exalted. The now-famous image of a fireman choosing a pumpkin while a farmhouse burns in the background appears on the cover of the book. With an introduction by critic Andy Grundberg and an afterword by curator Anne W. Tucker. Indicative of its stature, American Prospects<\/em> appears in both Andrew Roth\u2019s The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century<\/em> and Parr and Badger\u2019s The Photobook: A History<\/em>. This copy is inscribed by both Sternfeld and Tucker and dated in the year of publication. In addition, an invitation to the accompanying exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, is laid in, making for a fabulous package. Near fine condition. $1,500<\/p>\n

It pictures a young man, with his camera, in class with Kaminski, and photographing, along with a full-page negative-image photogram. The full text, which is presented one sentence per page and photographically printed in the images reads: \u201cYou take the average<\/em> photographer. He\u2019s loaded with gadgets.

Rather than imitate.\u201d After attending the Art Center, Abbie Ann Stimson (1916-1988) married Stewart W. Purcell, who supervised the installation of microwave relay stations in California from the 1950s to 1970s. This copy is inscribed by Stimson.

Szarkowski had been the staff photographer at the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) and was soon to become curator of photographs at New York\u2019s Museum of Modern Art. He arranged his photographs and text about Minnesota\u2019s people, places, and events, in four groups; the setting of the state\u2019s story, settlement and life on the land, social institutions, and commerce. Not surprisingly, his photographic style is decidedly straightforward, the aesthetic he persistently championed at MOMA. Reportedly, the first edition consisted of ten thousand copies and the 1964 reprint was 4,000. Laid into this copy is the text of the 1956 memorandum of agreement between the author and the publisher. This copy boldly signed by Szarkowski.

It features his earliest successful body of work, made between 1975 and 1984, among them \u201cWomen Breastfeeding an Eel\u201d and \u201cWoman Masturbating on the Moon.\u201d The Bosch-like images are variously horrific, explicit, and challenging. The artist, contrary to appearances, is methodical and deliberate in the making of his photographs, often inspired by masterpiece paintings and making preparatory drawings (two of which are reproduced here). Acknowledging the unusual nature of most of his models, he incudes an appeal to some specific types to help him make future photographs, such as pre-op transsexuals, people with tails or missing or additional limbs, and \u201call manner of extreme visual perversions.\u201d The book and pictures are not for the faint hearted.

Note that some are inscribed, occasionally to people of note, and I am happy to provide further details on any of these. In some cases the book itself is not signed, but accompanied by a piece of ephemera that is, so please read my entries carefully. One of the most flamboyant signers is Peter Beard, who frequently adds his handprints and collages in paper items, making for what I like to call \u201ccustomized\u201d results. I have additional signed or inscribed copies of some of these titles that are latter printings or softcover versions and usually priced lower.<\/p>\n
